Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

In Wei Wangfu.

Wei Wang Li Taiduan sat in the middle of the living room, with a serious expression and silent.

His main advisers, Cen Wenwen, Liu Ji, Chai Lingwu, and Fang Yiailie sat on the left and right, and they looked at each other with serious expressions, and then looked at Li Tai.

"I called you here today, I think you already know what is going on."

Li Tai first broke the silence and glanced at the people present.

"Your Highness, we already know about the fact that King Jin was appointed as the Marquis of Youwu."

It was Chai Lingwu who answered the call.

"The lower official believes that we don't need to care about this matter.

Moreover, King Jin is cowardly by nature, and without the help of ministers around him, he can't turn the tide! "

"Brother Chai is right!"

Fang Yiai immediately seconded.

"Your Highness, according to what I know about King Jin, King Jin has not made any political achievements in the past one or two years.

Such incompetent people, even if they are appointed as the Great General of Youwuhou, they are nothing to worry about! "

"No, no, no!"

As soon as Fang Yiai finished speaking, Liu Jie couldn't wait to object.

"Your Majesty suddenly appointed King Jin as the Great General Youwuhou. I'm afraid things are not as simple as we imagined."

"Your Highness, Brother Liu's words are absolutely true!"

Cen Wenwen thought about it.

"Now His Majesty has ordered King Jin and King Wei to keep pace, so we have to guard against it."

Li Tai listened to their opinions and remained silent, while his brows were wrinkled.

"Your Highness, General You Wuhou is the same as General Zuo Wuhou. They both control certain soldiers in the government. In other words, they have military power in their hands."

Cen Wenwen stroked his beard and said again.

"If the king of Jin becomes the general of Youwuhou, he will definitely take away part of the military power of the king of Wei, which will not be conducive to the success of the king of Wei in the future."

"The king of Jin can't become a climate, so what if he becomes the general of Youwuhou? He can't pose a threat to the king of Wei!"

Chai Lingwu said disapprovingly.

"Your Highness, according to your opinion, what we need to care about is not King Jin, but His Majesty's attitude towards King Jin."

Cen Wenwen glanced at Chai Lingwu dissatisfied, and continued to talk to Li Tai.

"Now that His Majesty has appointed King Jin as the Marquis of Youwu without any warning, could it be that His Majesty wants to take this opportunity to weaken King Wei's power?"

Chai Lingwu frowned and couldn't help asking:

"You mean that His Majesty suspects that King Wei intends to compete for the crown prince?"

"Your Majesty may not doubt that the King of Wei intends to compete for the crown prince. Perhaps His Majesty does not want the King of Wei to have too much power and try to use the King of Jin to restrain the King of Wei."

Cen Wenwen said with strict words.

Liu Ji nodded slightly, agreeing with what Cen Wenwen said.

Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai didn't answer the words, and their expressions seemed a little disapproving.

"No matter what the purpose of the father is, in short, it is not good for us to let Li Zhi and this king keep pace with each other. We must take precautions."

Li Tai glanced at everyone and said thoughtfully.

The crowd nodded.

"Your Highness, I heard that Li Zhi often goes to Wei Hao's residence recently. It seems that Li Zhi and Wei Hao have a very close relationship."

Liu Ji said thoughtfully.

"The lower officials are worried that Li Zhi will win over Wei Hao."

"Wei Hao is at home now, he has neither official position nor real power, so what's the use of Li Zhi to win him over?" Chai Lingwuman said indifferently.

"that is!"

Fang Yiai agrees with Chai Lingwu Dao.

"Li Zhi is incompetent, and only people with no power like Wei Hao are willing to get close to him."

Li Tai knew that his sister was not dead, but married Wei Hao.

But this matter will rot in his stomach for the rest of his life, and he cannot tell other people.

When he heard Liu Ji say that Li Zhi often went to Wei Hao's residence, he couldn't help frowning.

Although he thought that Li Zhi's main purpose of going to Wei Hao's house was to meet their sister, but because of this, his relationship with Wei Hao would be even better.

Li Tai understands that His Majesty's so-called demoting Wei Hao and letting him stay at home are all temporary.

Wei Hao saved Princess Jinyang, His Majesty will promote him sooner or later.

Li Tai glanced at Chai Lingwu, Liu Ji and Fang Yiai, and said with a very serious expression and tone:
"As for Li Zhi and Wei Hao getting close, we can't take it lightly.

Although Wei Hao is temporarily idle at home, he is a fierce general of the Tang Dynasty after all. If there is a war in the Tang Dynasty one day, he will definitely be employed. "

"What Your Highness said is absolutely true!"

Cen Wenwen agreed with Li Tai.

After a pause, Cen Wenwen rolled his eyes, and said in a calm voice:

"Your Highness, I have a plan, maybe I can use this to impeach Li Zhi."

"Please say."

Li Tai immediately questioned and said expectantly.

The others also stared at Cen Wenwen with doubts and expectations.

"Now that Li Zhi and Wei Hao are getting closer, we just took this as an opportunity to impeach Li Zhi as the King of Jin for not doing his job properly, but secretly making friends with a criminal minister who was demoted and left home, with impure motives."

Cen Wenwen spoke slowly and schemingly.

"Seconded!"

Liu Ji agreed.

Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai nodded in agreement.

The corner of Li Tai's mouth raised slightly, and he nodded thoughtfully.

His eyes fell on Cen Wenwen and Liu Jie, and he said with a half-smile:

"Please, my lords, impeach Li Zhi to His Majesty when you go to court."

"promise!"

Cen Wenwen and Liu Ji bowed their hands.

He clearly knew the main purpose of Li Zhi's visit to Wei Hao, but the other ministers didn't know.

Since Cen Wenwen and others wanted to take this opportunity to impeach Li Zhi, he just happened to use them to deal with Li Zhi.

Regardless of whether Li Zhi would threaten him or not, Li Zhi's position was almost the same as his own now, which inadvertently formed a potential threat to him.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore and sleep!
almost at the same time.

Inside the East Palace.

Prince Li Chengqian and Hanwang Li Yuanchang sat opposite each other, drinking some wine.

"Uncle Qiwang, it is said that the ninth brother was appointed as the Marquis of Youwu, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Yuanchang and said with a half smile.

"This matter has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about it."

Li Yuanchang straightened his body, but said with a smile on his face.

"But if the ninth younger brother has military power, I'm afraid it will be bad for me."

Li Chengqian said worriedly.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. King Jin's promotion is beneficial and harmless to His Highness."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty's appointment of the King of Jin as the Marquis General of Youwu is equivalent to keeping pace with the King of Wei, and undoubtedly plays a role in restraining the King of Wei."

"It seems to be the case."

"King Jin is cowardly by nature and has no power to support him, so he can't threaten His Highness."

"Ah."

"I have a good relationship with King Jin in private. If His Highness allows, I can try to draw King Jin into His Highness's command."

"Okay, very good! After hearing Uncle Seventh King's words, I suddenly see the light! Haha!"

"However, I think the King of Wei will not let it go, and will definitely find a way to prevent the King of Jin from keeping pace with him." Li Yuanchang frowned.

"It is indeed possible." Li Chengqian said thoughtfully.

"I suggest that we help King Jin."

"Oh?"

"If at that time King Wei's henchmen appeal to His Majesty, trying to prevent King Jin from taking up the position of General Marquis of Youwu, I will come forward to support King Jin."

"If someone from the Eastern Palace came forward, Father might think that the Eastern Palace and the Ninth Brother have joined forces to deal with the Fourth Younger Brother. I'm afraid the Eastern Palace will be blamed."

"What Your Highness said is reasonable, but there is no need for people from the Eastern Palace to come forward directly. We can use other people's mouths to support King Jin."
