When things have developed to this point, they have completely escaped from Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang's control.

Their original plan was very simple.

He directly announced in public that Su Dawei would succeed the position of Minister of War.

First, the announcement in public was to eliminate the possibility of Su Dawei's rejection, and let Su Dawei pinch his nose and recognize him.

Secondly, he also uses his own people to occupy the position of Minister of War.

When it comes to court politics, what are the struggles over and over?

What is fighting for is power.

But the most critical point, to the extreme, is nothing more than the word "military power".

When Li Zhi was able to defeat Changsun Wuji, it was precisely because Changsun Wuji focused on the court struggle that Li Zhi used foreign wars such as Liaodong to capture military power firmly in his own hands.

He also obtained Li Ji's promise.

This was the success in one fell swoop.

This is how he uses Changsun Wuji to deal with the family, and then uses military power to deal with Wu Meiniang to deal with Changsun Wuji. He uses the power to fight the power, and he is very good at playing.

But when time came to the first year of Qianfeng.

All the military generals among the old ministers have withered. Who can replace Xiao Siye as Minister of War?

This became the most urgent event in Li Zhi's mind.

It is definitely not possible to appoint someone casually.

Most of the officials in the court came from Guanlong Gaomen.

Even if it is not Guanlong, it comes from the Shandong gentry and Jiangnan family.

Although he has worked hard to promote poor scholars in recent years, he used the imperial examination to fight against aristocratic families and avoided the concentration of power in the hands of the noble families.

But most of the scholars from poor families are grassroots officials, and at most they are middle-level officials.

The power of the high-level officials in the court was still controlled by the great families.

Nowadays, the poor scholars who can rest assured Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang are either lacking experience or lacking ability.

Those with sufficient abilities and qualifications are either from a family or have close relationships with various aristocratic families.

After counting, there is really nothing more suitable than Su Dawei.

Regardless of his relationship with Wu Meiniang, or his background, family background, achievements, and abilities, he looked at the court, and this was the only one.

Only when Su Dawei takes over as Minister of War can Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang feel at ease.

Originally, as long as Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang settled, Su Da would not do it. The Emperor and the Queen joined forces to carry him to the position of Minister of War.

God knows how to do it, but Su Dawei, who had only used soy sauce, became the protagonist of this drama.

All the contradictions were also concentrated on him.

It's over.

Li Zhi rubbed his eyebrows and his temples pounded.

Every time I return to the court, I feel like I am going to lose my life.

Especially when encountering troublesome things like Su Dawei, he is simply the emperor's nemesis, and can be called Liuwei Emperor Pills.

The head hurts again.

Don't get out my old illness.

Thinking about the previous gout dizziness, Li Zhi shivered for no reason.

He turned his head and his eyes were thrown from the crown beads to Wu Meiniang on the side, urging her to finish the matter quickly.

Wu Meiniang was wearing makeup today because she went to court.

The eyebrows are made of plum blossoms.

The black bun is filled with golden hairpins, golden phoenix strides and phoenix wings and golden crowns.

The exquisite jade Buddha hung around his neck, showing the heart of Empress Wu towards Buddha.

The arm of the frost and snow was wearing a bracelet with red agate inlaid with green glass.

Holding a handle of four beasts with a knob pattern.

A silver sachet was tied to the waist of the skirt that was as thin as clouds.

A faint fragrance emanated from the sachet.

Wu Meiniang's hand swayed gently, as if she was saying to Li Zhi: Your Majesty, please don't bother me, I will share your worries.

She stretched out her slender fingers with bright red cardamom nails and stroked her waist sachet, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After a long time, he spoke: "You two really want to make a bet?"

Under the pearl curtain, the voices of Su Dawei and Gu Dezhao sounded from the hall where civil and military officials stood: "I am willing to bet!"

"In this way, the queen will be sure to report your achievements and let all officials prove it."

Seeing that Li Zhi around him seemed to be about to have an attack, Wu Meiniang shook her head at him and said softly in a whisper that only two of them could hear: "Ami never does something unsure. Now that things have come to this, why don't you let them make a bet to block the mouths of all officials."

"If someone really loses, he will be killed in the hall..." Li Zhi frowned into the word "Sichuan".

It doesn't matter to him that one or two ministers died, but if such a thing happened in Hanyuan Palace and spread it out, wouldn't it damage his wise wisdom?

Although I am black-hearted, I still want face!

"Don't worry, your Majesty, there is a result. I will immediately stop you and plead with you. In this way, you will not hurt the harmony."

When Li Zhi heard Wu Mei say this, he nodded.

But I was still a little worried: "No accident will happen, right? Can Ami really win?"

"Your Majesty, Ami has participated in the battle to destroy the country a lot over the years. Just talking about those achievements, he will not lose."

“Um…”

Li Zhi pondered silently.

A civil servant and a military general always have the meaning of fighting a turtle punch on their own.

Government and military affairs do not seem to be close to each other.

But in this case, how to judge depends on the referee's preference.

The emperor and the queen have a greater preference for their preferences.

Thinking of this seems to be good.

"I'm sure, too."

Behind the bead curtain, Li Zhi's solemn voice came from Li Zhi.

Gu Dezhao, who was standing in the hall, smiled as if he was in his heart. He turned to look at Su Dawei and said sternly: "Since the Emperor and the Queen have agreed, then this bet has been made. Su Dawei, you won't regret it?"

"Of course not."

"You are a military minister and I am a civil minister. How do you calculate this achievement?"

Su Dawei raised his eyebrows: "Each person tells out what he is proud of in his life, and lets the Emperor and the Emperor and the civil and military officials of the court evaluate it."

"Can."

Su Dawei felt that the old man was too confident. The man who was almost buried in the neck of the yellow earth actually had a fight with him.

OK, I admire you for seeking death.

Satisfy you!

"So that's the case, let's start."

Gu Dezhao bowed to all directions: "I would like to ask all my colleagues to testify with me."

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, we all look at each other with wide eyes and will never be partial."

A neat voice was made among the civil officials.

Wu Chen was talking about it, and some voices were shouting out, cheering Su Dawei.

“I don’t know who starts first?”

"The Queen of Heaven said just now, let me respect the elders. Mr. Gu is old, please ask first."

Su Dawei smiled slightly and bowed to Gu Dezhao casually.

Old man Gu is crazy, he is even more proud.

Gu Dezhao snorted coldly and stroked his beard and said, "Then I will talk first."

After pondering for a moment, Gu Dezhao took a deep breath and said, "When Emperor Taizong was the General of Tiance, I was a subordinate of the Qin King's Mansion. I followed Emperor Taizong to fight in the south and north, and made plans to praise the painting.

I still remember that when the King of Qin and King of Xia Dou Jiande, I once offered a surprise attack plan.

The Later Qin King fought with Dou Jiande's general Liu Heita. When the war was stalemate, I offered another plan to turn the situation around in one fell swoop..."

These things are old stories of the Taizong Dynasty, but many civil and military officials still know about this.

I had forgotten it a little, but at this time I was mentioned by Gu Dezhao, and many people couldn't help but nod.

This qualification is beyond words.

Many of Taizong's military achievements were made by King Dou Jiande of the Xia Dynasty and Liu Heita.

Especially when Liu Heita started the incident, he killed several generals of the Tang Dynasty, and his troops were fierce and he was in full force, and he was in a strong attack on the Central Plains.

So even the Yin Prince Jiancheng and Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan both wanted to move the capital to avoid it.

But Li Shimin defeated Liu Heita and turned the situation around in one fell swoop.

It can be said that it was a force to turn the tide with one hand and rewrite the process of the early Tang Dynasty.

Gu Dezhao was actually involved and made suggestions at a critical moment.

No one can erase this achievements of starting a foundation.

Even though Su Dawei had the merit of participating in the destruction of the country, he was just a subordinate general, not a master general.

Compared with Gu Dezhao's participation in the Taizong war, it is hard to say which one has a greater influence than the Tang Dynasty.

After all, if Liu Heita had become a powerful force and the Tang Dynasty moved its capital at that time, would the Tang Dynasty still be the Tang Dynasty today?

Even without Su Dawei's participation, could the Tang Dynasty not destroy Goguryeo, suppress the Turks, and destroy the Tubo?

Li Zhi behind the bead curtain obviously heard this meaning.

His face immediately became bad.

This Gu Dezhao is indeed cunning.

As soon as I opened my mouth, I mentioned the old stories of Taizong. I can't resist me.

Li Zhi wanted to be a wise ruler, and could not overturn his father's achievements, let alone Su Dawei's achievements, which were more wise than Gu Dezhao's participation in destroying Liu Heita and Dou Jiande.

Otherwise, it is unfilial.

I'm careless, I can't do it!

Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang, but saw Wu Meiniang's phoenix eyes wide open and her face was calm.

But when she looked closely at her hands, she was obviously extremely nervous when she was holding Yu Ruyi tightly.

If Su Dawei failed in this palace.

It's not just about losing the Minister of War.

I'm afraid I won't have a good reputation in the court in the future.

Apart from being an official in a remote place, I am afraid that it will be difficult to look up in front of all the officials.

And her Wu Meiniang will also become embarrassed because of this.

One son is wrong, every step is wrong.

To save Su Dawei's life, one must sacrifice the queen's dignity and ask Gu Dezhao to spare his life.

How can we order the ministers and suppress these unruly families in the future?

Wu Meiniang's teeth clenched tightly, and she bit out deep teeth marks on her white lower lip.

"After Your Majesty ascended the throne, I first became the Minister of Revenue, and raised food and grass for the Western Turkic army... and then as a transshipment commander, I dispatched the canal water transportation and transported food and grass for Chang'an.

In addition, when the Yellow River broke in Linde in the year of Linde, I was responsible for relieving disasters for the court. I ran thousands of miles of river valleys within half a month, mobilized the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of Personnel to mobilize 100,000 civilians. It took three months to finally block the breach.

He also allocated food and supplies for the court treasury to relieve the people from the upside down.

Finally, more than 400,000 people were saved, and the people of Guanzhong wanted to set up a temple for me..."

Every time Gu Dezhao said something, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang's faces became darker.

The martial officials in the hall were also trembling.

Thieves, your mother, sounds so awesome.

He often saved hundreds of thousands of people, blocked the Yellow River's rupture, and helped Taizong defeat Dou Jiande and Liu Heita!

At first I thought you were just ordinary.

Now when I hear it, it turns out that it is Louis Koo!

How can I continue to play this? Su Dawei's achievements in participating in the destruction of the country became a little in danger under Gu Dezhao's oral narrative.

Can you win?

In Hanyuan Palace, there were countless warriors who secretly sweated for Su Dawei.

"I am ashamed of being an old minister. I have been an official for more than 30 years and have only done such insignificant achievements. I don't know what Su Dawei has made in the Tang Dynasty?"

Gu Dezhao shook his sleeves, and the black mole at the corner of his mouth trembled proudly because of excitement.

He held the tablet in his hand and looked at Su Dawei like an eagle.

"I am here, I'm willing to listen carefully!"

If he was murderous, he would come straight towards Su Dawei.

That's it, I did it right!

Provocation, a provocation that is extremely proud!

The black mole on the corner of Gu Dezhao's mouth raised up with his white eyebrows, looking energetic and majestic.

When he stared at Su Dawei with his eyes, he actually had the appearance of an eagle looking at a wolf.

Aura, this is aura.

He is worthy of being an old minister during the reign of Emperor Taizong. None of the people who survived that era were fuel-efficient lamps.

Just looking at the scalp exposed by Gu Dezhao's hair loss on his head, I also knew that this old man was definitely the one who was bald and became stronger.

Although he is a civil servant, the momentum he exudes now is no less than that of a powerful general on the battlefield.

Extremely fierce.

"I would like to ask the founding uncle to talk about his achievements, and I will listen carefully!"

Seeing that Su Dawei seemed to be mute, Gu Dezhao felt proud in his heart.

He snorted coldly and asked again.

His voice echoed in Hanyuan Hall.

It is quite majestic and powerful.

Say, even if you say it, you just followed Li Ji and Su Dingfang, and your greatest achievement will always be the main general.

I'm different. I'm on my head, Taizong Li Shimin. Just this point, I'll put you on the top.

In terms of achievements, I have the effect of controlling the Yellow River's breach and saving hundreds of thousands of people.

No matter how great the contribution of killing the enemy from outside, how can I fight with me?

Killing and living people, both internally and externally.

The right judgment is right!

The civil and military ministers in the palace were silent at first, as if they were taken away by Gu Dezhao's momentum.

Until this moment, someone in the civil servant finally reacted and couldn't help but cheer.

Some people didn't care about the failure of the ceremony in front of the palace and sang: "Mr. Gu saved all the people and the water splash, and saved hundreds of thousands of victims in Guanzhong. This is indeed a great achievement. In my opinion, the founding uncle's contribution is definitely not as good as Mr. Gu!"

"Mr. Gu has made great contributions!"

"Save all the people and upside down!"

"The sage said that to establish virtue, make merit, make words, be immortal, be the three immortals. The virtues of Gu Shilang can be said to establish virtue and make merit! It will be passed down in history forever!"

"I think you can also leave a seat for Gu Shigong in Lingyan Pavilion!"

"Why did Su Dawei compare with Mr. Gu? Even if he killed tens of thousands of enemies, can the heads of those Hu people be compared with those of us people of the Tang Dynasty?"

Not only were the civil officials talking, but also some of the military officers couldn't help but whisper.

Secretly giving Gu Dezhao a thumbs up.

Clothes!

He was able to control the army when he was on the horse. Gu Dezhao offered to the King of Qin and flooded Liu Heita, which was a powerful force to turn the tide.

Dismounting the horse can control the people, block the Yellow River's breach, transfer food, grass and supplies, and save hundreds of thousands of people.

This is a real achievement!

It is not an exaggeration to say that he has made great contributions.

Why did Bo Su, founding country, compare such achievements?

Compare it with the head?

Countless eyes were cast on Su Dawei.

Some are mocking, some are pity, some are regretful, or some are watching the show.

A kind of mockery of looking at the loser and the defeated dog gradually spread in the palace.

Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang's hands behind the pearl curtain were quietly held together at some point.

this……

If I had known Gu Dezhao was so hard-core, I wouldn't have made the bet between him and Ami.

This hit the iron plate.

Now, how to end it!

The ominous premonition made Wu Meiniang's phoenix eyes surged with evil spirits.

If Ami really loses, then even if she wants to tear her face with the Guanlong clan in this court, she will not care about it!

Just as Wu Meiniang was about to speak, Su Dawei's voice suddenly sounded outside the bead curtain.

It was strange that his voice came together, and the noisy buzzing and discussion in the hall was suppressed.

"Mr. Gu's achievements are indeed extraordinary. I was rude to me before and asked Mr. Gu to be willing to let me be willing to let me give you some advice."

While speaking, Su Dawei crossed his hands and bowed deeply to Gu Dezhao.

Um?

This is a confession.

Among the military officials, Cheng Wuting, Qi Bihe, Lou Shide and others couldn't help but look at each other.

I never dreamed that with Su Dawei's personality, there would be a day when I could speak softly.

This is probably going to be cold!

Among the civil officials, the right prime minister Li Jingxuan was the leader, and everyone exchanged their eyes, with contempt in their eyes.

Ginger is still spicy.

After all, Su Dawei still admitted his conscience.

It's fine if you're timid.

The position of Minister of War is still determined by our aristocratic family.

The left prime minister Yan Liben quietly wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and peeked at Su Dawei.

He had a good impression of Su Dawei.

pity……

Gu Dezhao laughed: "Since the founding uncle said this, he must have retreated because of the difficulties. God has the virtue of living a life, and I am not willing to kill everyone. As long as you kneel down and, in front of the Emperor and Empress, you believe that you have no talent and no virtue, and you are not worthy of being the Minister of War, and kowtow to me three times.

I will give you your life back!"

After saying this, the military officials had a military general with a good relationship with Su Dawei, and his face changed drastically.

Ruosu Dawei knelt down in front of all civil and military officials, the Emperor and Queen, and kowtowed to live.

What's the difference between letting him die?

Killing is just a matter of placing the ground.

Personal insults are more disgusting than beheading.

This is killing people!

Cheng Wuting had always had a good relationship with Su Dawei. He glanced at the queue and didn't see other familiar generals. He didn't care much about it. He walked out of the queue and was about to speak for Su Dawei when he heard Su Dawei suddenly laugh.

The laughter came suddenly, like a rolling thunder sound, suppressing all the voices of the entire palace.

Gu Dezhao, who smiled with a proud look on his face, was stunned for a moment.

"Su Dawei, what do you mean?"

"I laughed, Minister Gu was a little anxious. Who said I would lose?"

"Then you apologized to me just now..."

"I apologize for your achievements for the Tang Dynasty. I deserve my worship."

Su Dawei's face was calm and he said calmly to Gu Dezhao: "But if you are in terms of merit, I will be better than you! I will write down all the things Gu Shilang said just now and return them as soon as possible."

In the entire Hanyuan Palace, all civil and military officials were in an uproar.

Su Dawei's words were like a slap on Gu Dezhao's face.

The first sentence says that my contribution is greater than Gu Dezhao.

The second sentence says, I will give it to you twice as much as you give it to me.

It's really merciless!

It's been a long time since I saw such a fierce cemetery in the court.

It's really...

Stimulate!

Whether it is the civil officials headed by the right prime minister Li Jingxuan, or the military officials of Qi Biheli, including Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang behind the pearl curtain.

Even the Zhi Jinwu, Qianniuwei, and eunuch maids in the hall were all exclamations at this time.

Why is Su Dawei so confident?

Can you make more contributions than Gu Dezhao?

The civil officials just said that Gu Dezhao's contribution was taken up by two things in the Three Immortals.

It's so awesome.

"Hehe, okay!"

Gu Dezhao had a dark face and gritted his teeth and sneered: "I want to hear what achievements you have that can surpass me!"

It was said that I would like to ask for advice, but the deep hatred and resentment in my voice was chilling.

The revenge between him and Su Dawei was abolished, and the two of them will never stop today!

"Since Mr. Gu wants to know, then I will become Mr. Gu."

Su Dawei crossed his hands and saluted Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang behind the bead curtain.

Under the attention of all civil and military officials, they leisurely tidied up their clothes, raised their chests and raised their heads, and slowly walked in the Hanyuan Hall.

The leisure of walking in the garden was like walking around the back garden of your own home.

Seeing this scene, Gu Dezhao was in a bad mood at that time.

I felt so angry that my teeth were itchy, and the corners of my mouth were twitching.

His Majesty gave me a seat just now, and he was already very proud of his appearance.

Su Dawei was actually walking in Hanyuan Palace. Who did he think he was?

You are so brave!

In this Hanyuan Palace, who except the emperor Li Zhi, dares to be so unscrupulous?

He was extremely angry. Before he could make a fuss, Su Dawei's voice had already flowed out like a gurgling spring.

The voice is thick and low, full of a charm that makes people listen.

"Last year I conquered Tubo and returned to the east..."

Haha, I am also promoting the Tubo. Even if you destroy Tubo, what if you still cannot compare to the great achievements of Gu Shilang.

"On the way back to Chang'an, I received the secret order from Your Majesty, and ordered the army to return to Chang'an and leave me alone in Shu..."

Um?

Secret purpose?

Since Your Majesty gave him a secret order, is there any secret matter that can be said casually?

Su Dawei's voice continued to talk: "I then realized that something big happened in Shu. At that time, Ying Huo guarded his heart, and the sky brought the epidemic to the sky. Huang'an County almost became a ghost domain, and there was no one in the hundred miles.

After that, I was ordered to find out the origins and outs of the epidemic.

The more you investigate, the more you become, the more frightened you will be. This epidemic poison can be spread by water sources. Moreover, if a person is poisoned, he will immediately become a monster with great strength and no knowledge of death or pain.

Moreover, the spread of the epidemic poison is very rapid. If it is allowed to spread, it is afraid that in less than half a year, the entire Shu general will not have a good city. Everyone in Shu will be infected with the epidemic poison and will become monsters.

If the epidemic poison is like going down the river, you will enter Guanzhong from Shu to then..."

Su Dawei's voice came to an abrupt end.

However, all the civil and military officials in the hall felt that their backs were cold and their hair stood up.

"Anti-toxicity?"

"Is there really a poisonous virus?"

"I think I've heard of this..."

"But I didn't hear any movement later. I should have been controlled?"

"Is this matter related to Su Dawei?"

"What role did he play in it?"

After a brief silence, various discussions in Hanyuan Hall were boiling.

"etc!"

Gu Dezhao's voice, with a look of anger, screamed: "What are the evidences for the epidemic and poison, you can tell me about it alone?"

Su Dawei smiled slightly: "Mr. Gu, please listen to me chant a poem."

Reciting a poem?

I'm slutting your head!

This poem is chanting Mao at the right time!!

Su Dawei ignored Gu De's black and purple face and his eager eyes.

He strided up, walked in the hall, and chanted: "There are many green waters and green mountains in vain, Huatuo has no choice but to have the little insects.

The remains of the lits in thousands of villages, and the ghosts sing in thousands of households.

Sitting on the ground and walking for 80,000 miles a day, patrolling the sky and looking at a thousand rivers.

The Cowherd wanted to ask about the plague and gods, but his joys and sorrows were gone."

As soon as this poem was released, the entire Hanyuan Palace died and was silent.

This poem...

It's amazing!

Could it be that Su Dawei did it?

Gu Dezhao asked Su Dawei what evidence he had, but Su Dawei disdained to defend himself and responded to his poems.

In this poem, the plague god is mentioned.

In fact, it refers to the major epidemic in Shu.

It's a debate that doesn't matter!

clever!!
Chapter completed!
