In addition to Zhang Guiba, his brother Zhang Guihou was also one of the best players to charge in his early years. He was shot blindly and was covered in scars. Now his status is exchanged for life, and he should really enjoy more happiness.

After King Yang Xingmi of Wu died of illness, the situation in Jianghuai became much more stable. The Zhang brothers often fought and fought. Today, they are in charge of Xu Si's army and are on horseback and managing the people. However, they are mainly in charge of local military and political affairs, and basically do not need to lead troops to fight.

But Li Tianqu roughly remembers that after Zhang Guiba passed away after he passed away, his brother Zhang Guihou passed away after three or four years.

Li Tianquxin has always said that what he can do is pay more attention to his wise, brave and talented physical condition. He usually invites medical officials to pay attention to the care of his confidant ministers every now and then, which is equivalent to the state conducting regular physical examinations for veteran cadres... If there is any emergency, he must be treated in time.

But after all, due to the scientific and medical level of this era, Li Tianqu also knew that he was not the King of Hell who could give people a few more years of life, nor was Sun Wukong who crossed out the names of monkeys and grandsons in the life and death book... The ministers under his command, who had already reached their limit, might have lived a few more years due to regular conditioning and timely treatment, but Li Tianqu said in his heart that he could not continue to force their lives.

In the end, it’s better to do your best and leave it to fate.

In addition to the Zhang brothers, Li Tianqu is most concerned about, and Wei Zhuang, the censor who is now 73 years old. If he followed his original life path, his life would be only one or two years.

In addition to attending the court to preside over state affairs and reviewing memorials from various places during these days, Li Tianqu also occasionally summoned some important officials under his command to the inner palace to chat and laugh, and privately discussed state affairs from another perspective.

Over the years, although Wei Zhuang presided over the Censorate, he was still strong and actively participated in political affairs, was in office and was diligent in governance. However, Li Tianqu has also discovered that even though Wei Zhuang was still energetic, his legs and feet were not smooth. Today, he went to the inner palace to chat with him, so he needed a companion to help him enter the pavilion, which was a bit old and older than before.

Li Tianqu also noticed that Wei Zhuang came to chat this time, and although his behavior was as calm and decent as before, his face covered with gullies seemed to be a bit sad.

As soon as Wei Zhuang took a seat, the clerks under Guanglu Temple had already cooked Yuyao Xianming Tea, which was tributed by Wu Yue Kingdom, and the crispy pears, green dates and other dried fruits were also spread on the table. Regardless of public and private matters, Li Tianqu would naturally have to ask about his well-being. Given that Zhang Guiba passed away due to illness, Li Tianqu is also particularly concerned about Wei Zhuang's physical condition. When he met this time, he spoke:

"At the age of Mr. Wei, I am in charge of the government work of the Censorate. I am very concerned about my health in recent days. I still need to pay good attention to recuperation."

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he immediately bowed slightly and replied respectfully:

"Under the care of Your Majesty, Li Xun and the Imperial Doctors were instructed to prescribe prescriptions for prolonging life. The old ministers enjoyed the salary of the court and were deeply grateful to the holy grace. Naturally, they knew to take care of themselves on time and maintain their health. There was no serious illness in recent years."

Having said that, he was already over 70 years old. In recent years, Wei Zhuang has always warned himself not to be careless and slack, but gradually he felt that his energy was becoming more and more limited... However, he spent most of his life trying to pass the imperial examinations, but failed the exams many times. He did not start his career until he was almost 60 years old... Unlike Luo Yin, who was more inclined toward a hermit, Wei Zhuang also came from a compensatory mentality, but he never planned to retire and return home.

In short, when can I live, Wei Zhuang planned to continue working in a battle position. What's wrong with his age? Jiang Ziya came out of the mountain at the age of 72, and was able to assist the Zhou Dynasty in destroying Shang and achieving great achievements. He was later called the Martial Saint and was granted the title of the country and establishing Qi. Even if my achievements in this life were not comparable to Jiang Shang and Jiang Taigong, he was still in his seventies and still had to work hard, and strive to leave the reputation of a wise minister in history books behind him.

So when Li Tianqu asked about his physical condition, Wei Zhuang immediately cheered up and never mentioned that he was old. He was afraid that his lord would urge him to retire and enjoy his old age. However, after talking again, Wei Zhuang seemed to be in his throat, as if he was weighing some things and should report to Li Tianqu...

"Now that the battle between our dynasty and the Jin people has begun, the court not only needs to allocate military expenses, but also needs to concentrate on dealing with the King of Jin. If necessary, it is inevitable that the imperial guards will be in charge of the overall situation. Therefore, Mr. Wei must also pay attention to his health and govern the government and the people in the court. After all, our dynasty is stable, and the soldiers of the three armies have no worries. The ministers and ministers in the court are naturally also responsible for the great responsibility..."

Wei Zhuang, who was full of worries, listened to Li Tianqu's words again. After hesitating for a moment, he was determined and stood up tremblingly, and said to Li Tianqu seriously:

"As Your Majesty said, even if our dynasty has many soldiers and a broad territory, the government can be clear and peaceful, and people's livelihood is the foundation of the country. In the chaotic times, although the world is still uncertain, at least under the rule of our Great Wei, the people in various places can live and work in peace.

It is also because Your Majesty has achieved martial ethics and kindness to the people. It is just a reflection of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Then, it is inevitable that the slander ministers and evil people are in power and the people in the world will be in trouble, which leads to the trouble of Huang Chao, Wang Xianzhi, Pang Xun and others... The Tang Dynasty was finally usurped by the thieves of Zhu Wen. Why did the previous dynasty fall into the country? Our dynasty should learn from it. As the saying goes, the autumn of the withering is so good that we can wither and not let the wounds become scars again..."

Well? This old man Wei Zhuang is obviously talking.

Li Tianqu heard that Wei Zhuang came to see him this time and was obviously worried. Especially after the words he said at the end of his words, he would not cause any damage to become wounded again. According to his original career trajectory, it should have been a letter to advise the Emperor of Shu to strongly recommend severely punishing the use of public instruments and private use and abuse of the people.

In the early days of the founding of the Shu emperor, it was precisely because Wei Zhuang had legislated the system for him that even though he held great power, he always adhered to the principle of not relying on power or doing personal gain, and he was clean and suppressed the powerful and evil officials. In his poems, he expressed his opinion that he had the intention to rebuild the foundation of peace and peace"... and what Wang Jian initially expressed was also called a wise monarch.

However, after Wei Zhuang died of illness, the Shu court began to become increasingly corrupt. Not only did the taxes become more and more severe, Wang Jian and Wang Yan, who inherited his throne, were extremely extravagant and debauchery. The palace and court sold official positions and titles, and bribed officials at all levels. Therefore, until Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang Dynasty reported that the former Shu regime had already stopped him, he sent surprise troops to enter the two rivers and indeed destroyed the Shu Kingdom relatively smoothly.

However, Li Tianqu asked himself that in addition to sometimes he would personally lead the imperial army, he never neglected to attend court every day to preside over state affairs. He also asked himself that he was not luxurious, and there was also a censor, who mentioned whether the Criminal Office had any evil deeds of greed and abuse of power... However, Wei Zhuang seemed to have made up his mind to advise him... So what was wrong with the Wei Dynasty court that made this old man unable to stand it?

Or, the political conflict between Wei Zhuang and powerful ministers such as Li Zhen and Gao Yu has escalated, and the quarrel has finally become arguing in front of the emperor?

Li Tianqu thought about it and immediately said:

"Old Wei, I can regard you as a minister. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also said: Taking people as a lesson, you can understand gains and losses; using history as a lesson, you can know the rise and fall. If our dynasty really has any bad policies, I naturally need a minister like you to speak out for advice. But it doesn't matter, why bother hesitate?"
