Chapter 906 All the way forward
"Uncle means..." Li Chengqian was a little puzzled.
"Has the case been closed at that time?" Changsun Wuji said.
"It's considered a case closed." Li Chengqian said, "but this case involves too many secrets. It's better not to ask about some things, but the matter involves the matter between the father and Gu Qing."
Changsun Wuji was quiet for a long time, and he did know some things, especially Wang Qin beside Li Shimin. This Wang Qin secretly helped Li Shimin do a lot of things secretly. The phoenix that fell beside Gu Qing after Li Chengqian ascended the throne, and Li Junxian's several troops were all very strange. Looking at the Turks and Tubo wars that came from strange things, the world attacked Tang, Tianzhu, Tubo, Persia, and the Western countries jointly attacked Tang, and there is no fixed number in the court yet.
Many things seemed to be suppressed under the arrangement between Wang Qin and Li Shimin. Some secrets were not even known by themselves. The relationship between Gu Qing and Li Shimin was very contradictory and wonderful, and some were indefinitely connected.
After returning to his senses, Changsun Wuji said, "Gu Qing's position in the court is as solid as a selves. He can never be His Majesty if he can check and balance Gu Qing."
"What does uncle mean?" Li Chengqian said in confusion.
"In fact, the power to check and balance Gu Qing is right in front of you." Changsun Wuji drew a line on the table, "This is a line between Your Majesty and Gu Qing. Your Majesty is in the Ganlu Hall, and Gu Qing is leading Chang'an from home. The power to defeat Gu Qing is actually under Your Majesty's nose."
"I'll ask for advice from my uncle." Li Chengqian said as he bowed.
"I'm just saying so much. Go back and think about it." Changsun Wuji seemed to smile.
Li Chengqian was surprised for a long time before he could say goodbye helplessly.
After seeing Li Chengqian leave, Changsun Wuji, a servant who had been a hundred years old, said, "Why didn't the head of the family tell His Majesty clearly?"
Changsun Wuji put his hand on the stove to keep warm and said, "If he doesn't even understand these things, Li Chengqian will be defeated by Gu Qing. The different roots of each tree determine how tall the tree can grow. Li Chengqian is not capable enough. No matter how much I support him, it will be fine once or twice. In the future, one day I will fall. If Li Chengqian can understand, as long as he can do three points, I will do my best to help him balance Gu Qing. If not, the medicine stone will be useless."
The attendant fell into silence again. It was all about how glorious it was for the new emperor to ascend the throne. However, Li Chengqian's ascension seemed smooth, but in fact he suffered too many setbacks. After Li Shimin brought the power to Gu Qing, Li Chengqian became a waste person several times. He finally recovered and was scolded by Li Shimin several times. Gu Qing was also restrained everywhere. Li Tai was always unwilling to be under Li Chengqian. His Highness from Jiangdong looked at Li Chengqian in his eyes.
Li Chengqian was under great pressure. If he couldn't do it well, he would be doomed. If he did it well, those people would still stare at him. Not to mention Li Shimin's other sons, and Gu Qing, who is now Gu Qing, is powerful now, and all the scholars and officials in the world are all out of academies. Gu Qing holds the world's financial power in one hand and the other has a huge power. It is too easy for such people to rebel and become emperor. It just depends on whether Gu Qing wants to do it.
Changsun Wuji looked at the rare sunshine and thought, Li Shimin was not a fool, Gu Qing had already expanded his wings, and he still had to give him such great power. Didn’t he hand over the knife to Gu Qing? Or Li Shimin is sure that Gu Qing will not rebel or be enemies of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin is a hero, and Gu Qing is also a murderer without blinking when he becomes ruthless. What are the secrets that cannot be explained between these two people?
Think about Gu Qing's ten years in Chang'an, there have been so many changes. Gu Qing's ten years of youth have been ups and downs, from just entering the Secretariat to the General of the Central Secretariat, to being imprisoned, and then to being imprisoned. These processes were done by Li Shimin to tame Gu Qing.
Li Shimin wanted Gu Qing to become his minister, but Gu Qing's disdain for the emperor was at heart. Li Shimin alone could not tame Gu Qing as a minister. All the things that followed were Gu Qing wanted to do, not Li Shimin wanted Gu Qing to do, or Gu Qing helped Li Shimin do a lot of things. Li Shimin also secretly acquiesced to Gu Qing to do something extraordinary, such as controlling the commercial rights of Chang'an, and the two reached a tacit understanding between one and another.
This time, handing the knife to Gu Qing was also a tacit understanding between Li Shimin and Gu Qing. Perhaps Li Shimin would have a deeper solution to do this. Li Shimin must have the means to counter Gu Qing. Or maybe Li Shimin did this to restrain Gu Qing from taking half a step in Chang'an in his life, and Gu Qing could also be used as Li Chengqian's whetstone. Gu Qing got the prosperity of the Gu family's future generations. From then on, the Gu family's children were not allowed to enter the court. After Gu Qing, there was no prime minister in the Tang Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji figured it out. He used Gu Qing to hone Li Chengqian in order to create Zhenguan. Li Shimin knew very well that there were too many criticisms of the Li Tang Dynasty established after the Central Plains War. After the Zhenguan, these criticisms still existed. These criticisms would become hidden dangers of the Tang Dynasty. Gu Qing appeared in Li Shimin's vision. Such a character became Li Shimin's sword, the chaos of martial virtues, and the opening of Zhenguan. Now only the great way is left to move forward.
During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin made great achievements, destroyed the Turks, pacified Tubo, shocked the countries, reopened the imperial examinations, and killed aristocratic families. During the Zhenguan period, he did a lot of things, and the medicine was also three parts poisonous. After taking this fierce medicine in the Central Plains, the next step was to slowly calm the properties of the medicine. As long as Li Chengqian passed this level, waiting for Li Chengqian was a greater prosperous era. Li Shimin did so much, just for the future! For the present and for the future.
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly, Li Shimin! You are a hardworking person after all.
Gu Qing hummed a little tune and went to the academy leisurely, planning to go to Li Tai's place to eat a few tea eggs, but found that Li Er was sitting in Li Tai's room and eating tea eggs leisurely.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?" Li Er took a bite of the tea egg and enjoyed it. "Qingque's craftsmanship is getting better and better. Come and try it too?"
Seeing Li Tai who was looking for help with great force, Gu Qing said unfaithfully, "I'm just passing by. Your Majesty, just pretend I haven't been here."
"Come in!" Li Er shouted loudly.
Gu Qing had no choice but to enter with a gray face, pick up a tea egg and eat it on his own.
