Li Er sat in his own courtyard and watched the snowflakes falling all over the sky. The cold wind was always so harsh. He said to Empress Changsun, who was using a small mud stove to warm wine, "Is Zhinu's marriage almost the same?"

Among the legitimate sons, the youngest is the youngest. Li Er hopes that his Li Zhi can get married as soon as possible.

Empress Changsun poured out a bowl of warm wine and said, "It's still early, let's take a look."

"Are you not satisfied with that girl?" Li Er asked with a smile.

"How do you say it?" Queen Changsun hesitated for a while and said, "This girl's a little bit of aura has not yet been worn out. Even if this girl is like, it depends on how Zhinu grew up in the Hai Trade Department. When Zhinu can stand alone, he can naturally get married."

"I still love Zhinu." Li Er drank warm wine.

"It's all my own children, everyone is the same." Empress Changsun said with a smile, "I went to see Wu Mei yesterday. Gu Qing's family lived so carefree. Look at our royal family. Sometimes I think about it, it's not as good as Gu Qing. Erlang was tired of the disputes in the court if he wanted to leave the Daming Palace."

"The court is too strange now." Li Er put away his clothes and looked at the blossoming plum trees in the yard.

The courtyard was peaceful, and Li Junxian walked away and said, "Your Majesty, Pei Xingjian is almost here in Chang'an."

"Yes." Li Er nodded and asked, "How does Chengqian plan to resettle Pei Xingjian?"

"The court and the Secretariat have decided to grant a reward, and the Ministry of Personnel has made a case and appointed as a secretary."

"Why isn't it a branch?" Li Er looked up at the snowflakes in the sky, "I haven't been to the three provinces yet? I'm a little confused about my son."

"Report to Your Majesty." Li Junxian said again, "This is the arrangement of Chu Suiliang's advice, and the Ganlu Palace has been approved."

"I understand." Li Er said, "It's cold, so you can rest early."

"Yes!" Li Junxian bowed and said goodbye.

Empress Changsun heard the words, and after Li Junxian left, she asked, "Why does Your Majesty care about Pei Xingjian so much?"

"There is something wrong with this Pei Xingjian." Li Er turned a seat and said, "I always feel that someone behind Pei Xingjian is helping him. At first I thought it was Di Renjie, but I thought about how this guy Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian were connected."

"So you think?"

"Gu Qing can't hide it." Li Er nodded, "If I was right, Pei Xingjian must have a close relationship with Gu Qing. From the academy to Chang'an Order, and then to Xu Jingzong, Pei Xingjian's various actions were related to Gu Qing's people. Forget it once or twice, but four or five times were too obvious."

"Maybe Gu Qing doesn't want to hide it." Empress Changsun said, "Secretary Lang is just an idle official without real power. Could it be that Cheng Qian knew Pei Xingjian's origin and gave him this position."

"It is said that the support of the alliance is a great achievement... It is actually not small. This alliance is just the foundation for the Tang Dynasty to the West, and the court will have greater plans." Li Er said, "Gu Qing still attaches great importance to the situation in the West, and he doesn't know what this kid plans now."

Empress Changsun is a smart woman and a general person. After listening to Li Er's analysis of the situation in the court, she just nodded secretly, but didn't say much. At this time, she knew that she could not speak more, just listened to it.

After a quiet time, a maid walked over and said, "Mrs. Queen Mother, the gifts are ready."

"Well, go and arrange it." Empress Changsun nodded and said to Li Er, "Your Majesty, I will send you some gifts to my brother."

"Changsun Wuji is still fine now." Li Er asked.

"Brother's life." Empress Changsun lamented again, "Although my life was not satisfactory, this is also the best result for my brother. Your Majesty does not have to worry too much. I send some things to express my condolences to you, which are always available at home."

"Go and see him when you have time." Li Er said, "This old guy has lived a lifetime, with few friends and many opponents! To him, his opponent is also a friend."

After saying this, Li Er smiled again, "I think after Du Ruhui passed away, there would always be disagreements between Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling's views on matters are fair, and Changsun Wuji's approach is more biased towards princes. When they were young, the two of them argued with each other well. Now that everyone is old, I know that they often meet in private after leaving the court."

"Meet often?" Empress Changsun was puzzled.

Li Er nodded.

Empress Changsun was also very surprised. She thought that her brother Changsun Wuji should live a very lonely life, but she didn't expect that she often met Fang Xuanling in private. She thought that Fang Xuanling and her brother often had disagreements. Both of them were stubborn in their own opinions, but she didn't expect that everyone became good friends after leaving the court.

As Li Er said, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji are now sitting in the pavilion outside the village cooking tea and chatting.

Fang Xuanling looked at the flying snow all over the sky, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Changsun Wuji sat down, "It's snowing, I thought you wouldn't come."

"Aren't you here too?" Fang Xuanling said again, "Pei Xingjian is coming back."

"I have heard of it too." Changsun Wuji said, "After coming back this time, the court decided to let Pei Xingjian be a secretary."

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling's actions of pouring tea paused a little, "Why is it a secretary? In theory, Pei Xingjian, the current Minister of War, is to be promoted to the three provinces, so how could he be a small secretary?"

"It sounds like he is a little bit old, let alone a minister of War who has real power." Changsun Wuji sighed and turned into fog. "Li Chengqian wanted to keep Pei Xingjian by his side. Instead of putting Pei Xingjian in the three provinces, he meant that he wanted to put it by his side more. Even if he is just a secretary now, Pei Xingjian's future path will be better, because there are indeed no people around Li Chengqian."

"Your Majesty still wants to gain his own strength to fight Gu Qing's power?" Fang Xuanling shook his head and smiled, "He will only backfire when doing this. If you want to talk about his power, as long as Gu Qing leaves the court, it is no longer the power of the prime minister. The entire court belongs to him, Li Chengqian. Why do you have to do so much?"
