Chapter 19: The King of Shu is Strong

In the Eastern Palace, the partial hall of Chongren Hall, a group of important officials in the court were waiting outside the hall.

Sun Wuji, Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, Secretary of the Central Committee Fang Xuanling, Secretary of the Ministry of War Du Ruhui, Secretary of the Ministry of War Gao Shilian, Secretary of the Ministry of Justice Li Jing and other confidant ministers are all here.

"Xiao Xiang was severely denounced from the court by His Majesty yesterday. It's okay if you haven't summoned this time, why is Feng Xiang not here?" Changsun Wuji stood outside the hall, looking at the ministers waiting here, and did not find Feng Deyi's figure, so he asked Chu Liang, the Grand Secretary of Hongwenguan who summoned everyone into the palace.

Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi were appointed as the Minister of Shangshu and the left and right Pushe, the head of all officials, and were the prime minister. It was rare for the situation where the left and right Pushe was absent during the court discussion.

Chu Liang replied: "Prime Minister Feng was old and weak, and he had always been poor. When he was just now, he was ill when he went to pass the imperial edict. He claimed his majesty with a leave of absence. He was afraid that he was still lying on the collapse."

Feng Deyi's body was very good yesterday, but why did he suddenly get worse today? Although this disease is like a mountain of falling, Feng Deyi's disease is too coincidental.

After hearing Chu Liang's words, Changsun Wuji also showed a knowing smile on his face.

The agreement between the Turkic Khan Jie Li and Li Shimin was at noon tomorrow, but Li Shimin still did not intend to send a proton, so today's report will naturally not avoid this topic.

Changsun Wuji said: "Feng Xiang is cured when he is sick, and he avoids everything in this disease."

Feng Deyi was cautious in his actions and was good at judging the best. His style was known to everyone in the court. As the prime minister, Li Shimin must ask him for advice today. If he submitted a petition to send a prostitute, he would inevitably annoy Li Shimin. Feng Deyi naturally avoided it by illness.

Chu Liang said to Changsun Wuji: "It is not a bad thing for Feng Deyi to be cautious and cautious. Today, Xiao and Feng are not here. The civil and military officials in the court have regarded Lord Changsun as their respect, and Lord Changsun can use this to eliminate future troubles forever."

Chu Liang's words were heard, and a trace of light flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes. Obviously, Chu Liang's words hit his mind.

"Xi Ming refers to the King of Shu?" Changsun Wuji lowered his voice.

Chu Liang said: "No matter what the King of Shu is trying to do, if the King of Shu is sent to the King of Shu, wouldn't it be better to avoid the troubles of Lord Changsun?"

In ancient times, those who were good at quality were for more than ten years, and those who were long would stay forever until their lives were lost. What's more, the Turks were bitter and cold, and the Turks did not know etiquette and food customs were no different from those of the Tang Dynasty. With Li Ke's age, it was not easy to save their return.

Changsun Wuji looked at Chu Liang and asked, "So Ximing already has a draft?"

Chu Liang replied: "If Your Majesty agrees to send a conscription, the candidate will be the King of Shu."

"How can I see it?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Chu Liang looked around and saw that there was no one behind him, so he replied: "The crown prince is the crown prince. The throne is the most important and the foundation of the country is naturally unmovable. But from the fifth prince, King Yan You, all of them are young. If they go north, they may not survive. Those who can be polite are Shu King Ke and King Yue Tai. However, King Yue is the legitimate son and is deeply loved by Your Majesty. Neither Your Majesty nor Empress Changsun will agree to King Yue to go north, so the only one who can be polite is Shu King."

Chu Liang said, and Changsun Wuji nodded.

Chu Liang's words make sense. Apart from Li Ke and Li Tai, all other princes were young and could not be used as quality. Li Tai was also a legitimate son and was deeply favored by Li Shimin. In addition, he was obese since childhood and was not suitable for traveling far away. The most suitable candidate for quality is naturally Li Ke.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Chu Liang and asked lightly: "Calculate that, Ximing's son has been in Hongwenguan for some years."

As soon as Changsun Wuji's words were spoken, Chu Liang, who was very thoughtful, immediately understood what Changsun Wuji meant.

Changsun Wuji was the Minister of Personnel and the uncle of the current dynasty. He had a close personal relationship with Li Shimin. He naturally had inconvenience and was unwilling to say something, so he could only do it for others, and Chu Liang was a suitable candidate.

Chu Liang has been in office for decades and served the seven emperors of the four dynasties of Chen, Sui, Xue, and Tang dynasties without falling. He has his own unique features. How could he not hear what Changsun Wuji meant?

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Chu Liang replied: "By the end of the ninth year of Wude, my son Suiliang had been in Hongwenguan for four years."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "The man is both talented and talented. It would be a pity if he was just wasting his time in Hongwenguan. When the election of all officials at the end of the year, the man will go to the provincial government as a daily neighbour."

The ministry was one of the three provinces. He was at the emperor's side, praised and guided all matters, and consulted to deal with it. Although the Jujuyan only belonged to the sixth rank, he was in charge of recording the emperor's words and deeds and cultivating daily notes, and was a close minister of the emperor. If Chu Suiliang could become an official as a Jujuyan, it would naturally be a good starting point.

Changsun Wuji was the Minister of Personnel, named Datongzai, and held the power to appraise all officials. After he spoke, and with Chu Liang's identity, Chu Suiliang's daily life man was naturally sure.

Chu Liang thanked him: "The lower-ranking official thanked Lord Changsun for his kindness to support him."

Nanya, Secretariat.

Cen Wenben sat upright in the Secretariat's Inner Court. After calculating the time, he felt a little uneasy.

It was time to go past, and Li Ke had not arrived at the Secretariat yet. Could it be that something went wrong on the way?

Therefore, since Li Ke became a disciple, he must have gone to the Secretariat to seek advice every day, regardless of the weather. Today, it is so late, and Cen Wenben can't sit still. Cen Wenben explained to Gu Yin, a colleague sitting next to him, and then prepared to go out and ask for information.

But just as Cen Wenben got up, a maid wearing a green palace robe walked into the door. Cen Wenben knew this person. She was Dan'er, the palace maid who was with Li Ke every day.

Dan'er has always followed Li Ke, never leaving her. Today, Dan'er appears here, which means that Li Ke has also been here, but has left, and Cen Wenben's heart has been raised.

"My maid Dan'er pays homage to Lord Cen." Dan'er walked to Cen Wenben and bowed his knees and bowed.

Now that the matter in Chang'an City is in full swing, Cen Wenben is worried about Li Ke's safety, and he has no intention of being polite and asked: But your highness will order you to come?"

Dan'er replied, "It was His Highness who ordered his maid to come here."

"It's already past time. Where is Your Highness now? Is it still safe?" Cen Wenben asked.

Dan'er replied, "Please rest assured that your highness is in peace. But your highness said he wanted to go to the palace to see Your Majesty, so he was unable to come here. He ordered his maid to inform you."

Li Ke is going to pay homage to the emperor at this time?

After hearing Dan'er's words, Cen Wenben suddenly thought of a possibility in his heart, and his heart suddenly felt a "kick".

"Why is Your Highness going here?" Cen Wenben asked uneasily.

Dan'er didn't know Li Ke's intention, nor did she understand why Cen Wenben was so nervous, otherwise she wouldn't have been here, but instead reported to Concubine Yang directly.

Dan'er just replied truthfully: "Your Highness has not explained what happened. He just stayed in Shunyi Gate for a while and said that as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he wanted to do what the prince should do."

What the prince should do!

At this moment, Prince Jie Lisuo is the qualifier, and what the prince described as Li Ke naturally treats him as the qualifier!

Not only Cen Wenben was the only one in the inner yamen, but other secretariat officials were among them, and they listened to it with real attention.

All those who can serve in the Secretariat are well-educated people. Now that the proton storm is surging, how can they not hear what Li Ke meant?

"Your Highness, how magnificent!"
