Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"If the letter is delivered in time, it is very likely to wait for the Youzhou Army to come to help."

"But if you are in Chang'an City, the Peking Palace."

"I'm afraid it's just..."

As Li Qiu spoke, the momentum in his words became weaker and weaker.

When I talked about Youzhou before, I was full of confidence.

When talking about Furong Garden, I am also very confident.

But when it came to the Peking Palace, even he himself was a little dumbfounded.

Because on this issue, he really didn't think too deeply about it.

It wasn't until the samurai Yu mentioned it that he woke up instantly, and then he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Now, he is no longer the self he used to be, with the system in his hand, traveling around the world.

There is already a bond of wife and children.

I believe that even now, with several energy crystals, he still has a chance to escape even in the face of the net.

However, if he escaped, his wife and children were buried in the hands of the enemy.

Then his whole world will collapse, and everything around him will disappear.

How much difference can there be from his own death?

Even that kind of pain is a hundred times more sad than dying directly.

Just when Li Qiu was in a daze, the warrior beside him said slowly, "Li Qiu, in this world."

"Nothing is absolute."

"Thinking about the old Taishanghuang back then, didn't he never think that such a tragedy would happen?"

"However, there is no way to regret and be annoyed about this kind of thing."

"Everyone gets only one chance."

"It happened, and it happened."

"So, now, if you can't bring your family, wife and children back to Youzhou together."

"Then stay in your Hibiscus Garden all the time."

"When the time comes, if there is a real danger, besides Youzhou, you will also have three states that are closer, including Jingzhou, Yuezhou, and Fuzhou."

"As long as my old bones can still stand up, the [-] state troops from these three states can come to your aid within five days at any time."

"Furthermore, within Chang'an City, I have also arranged many eyeliners and confidantes."

"Once there is a change on your side, someone will definitely send the news to Youzhou and Jingzhou as quickly as possible."

"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you."

"In Duke Ying's mansion, I left five hundred elite guards."

"I told Wu Jue about this before, but I haven't told you yet."

"These guards were originally set up to deal with the assassins who broke into the Lotus Garden that night."

"Since those assassins are still at large, these elite guards should stay in the city and be on standby at any time."

"Once there is a danger, there can also be a care."

Hearing what the warrior Xun said, Li Qiu was a little dumbfounded.

With his father-in-law's level as a governor, there are only more than 100 guards in Chang'an City.

Counting servants, 200 people would be enough.

But he arranged five hundred elites in the mansion.

What kind of concept is this?

When Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Incident, he secretly recruited [-] dead soldiers to ambush him.

It can be seen that these 500 people are also a considerable combat power.

Similarly, if this matter was reported or recorded, it would definitely be a serious crime.

At this moment, Li Qiu really didn't understand.

My father-in-law, why did he put on a nervous look when he was dealing with the end of the world game.

With the awe of His Majesty and so many important officials in the court, can this Chang'an City still turn the sky upside down?

However, he also knew that his father-in-law had always been calm.

I have gone through so many storms in my life.

It's not a bad thing to be careful.

Seeing that Li Qiu took this matter more seriously and seriously, the warrior Xun also nodded in satisfaction.

……

Early the next morning.

Li Qiu got up early and came to the court where he had been away for dozens of days.

While waiting for the court, Li Qiu was somewhat surprised.

He thought that when he resigned as prime minister this time, he lost his power again.

People will definitely leave the tea cold, and suffer from many people's faces again.

Look at their schadenfreude and gossip.

However, it greatly exceeded his expectations.

As before, he was wearing a purple robe, waiting very quietly in the long corridor.

People kept coming over to salute and say hello warmly.

Like familiar ones, Tang Jian, Wei Ting and others gathered around to joke and talk affectionately with Li Qiu.

People like Song You, Ma Zhou, Gao Jifu, Qu Hetai and others also stood respectfully behind Li Qiu.

And some officials who don't have many close friends on weekdays salute Li Qiu respectfully.

After saying hello, I went to another place.

That is, all the officials from the Wei Palace came over to chat with Li Qiu in the same way.

According to a face.

Other than that, Li Qiu really didn't see a single person who took the initiative to find fault with him, and made rumors about him.

This kind of scene was the same as when Li Qiu first came to the court several years ago.

Simply a world of difference.

Could it be that I have been the prime minister for the past few years, and I still have this kind of utility and harvest?

Soon, Mao's time came, and the palace gates of the palace opened wide.

Many officials waiting here also filed in.

When the morning court began, Li Shimin sat on a high dragon chair.

Looking down at the ministers below.

Soon, he found the sleepy and bored Li Qiu.

It was only a month or so before he ceased to be prime minister.

But this kid once again forgot the good habits he developed when he was prime minister.

Returned to the tired and lazy look of a few years ago.

Seeing him like this, Li Shimin also felt angry and funny.

Chapter 999

Then, after handling the larger government affairs reported by some courtiers.

Li Shimin finally set his sights on Li Qiu again.

"Peking King Li Qiu."

"Did you know these days?"

"On top of my dragon case, how many memorials about you have been piled up?"

"Their contents are mostly the same."

"It's all about the huge bribe you received from Tubo."

"What explanation do you have for this matter?"

Hearing this, Li Qiu said loudly, "Report to Your Majesty."

"This year, when I am going to Tibet as an envoy."

"Accidentally, I helped Tubo wipe out tens of thousands of Tubo rebels in the border area of ​​our Tang Dynasty."

"These generous gifts, as well as the high-standard treatment back then."

"It was Zanpu from Tubo who expressed their gratitude to the ministers."

"And, for these gifts from Tubo, gold and silver."

"The minister also gave all the pensions to the families of the soldiers who died in battle."

"For Datang, for these gifts from Tubo."

"I have no shame in my heart, no shame in heaven and earth."

"I really don't know what to do with this matter?!"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Chai Shao and others couldn't help feeling relieved.

A boulder fell to the ground.

And the imperial envoy of the Eastern Palace faction also stood out at this moment.

The more polite and polite questioned Li Qiu.

"This is what the King of Peking did."

"Treat gold and silver like dung, be high-spirited, and sympathetic to the lieutenant soldiers."

"It is really a model for my generation, a model for the imperial court."

"But I really can't figure it out."

"Such a good thing like this, beautiful talk, others wish that the outside world would know about it."

"What you are doing now, King of Peking, is quite puzzling."

At this time, Li Qiu glanced at him, chuckled lightly and said, "I, Li Qiu, never care about fame when I do things."

"Even less will I exchange the lives of my Great Tang soldiers for my so-called reputation."

"Besides, from the beginning to the end of this matter, there is no violation of the laws of the family and the country."

"I am the Tang Dynasty, the monarch is sage, and most of the important ministers are virtuous and straight."

"As long as he dares to give it to Tubo Zanpu, I, Li Qiu, dare to accept it."

"Why do you have to explain it to other people?"

"What does it have to do with me if the outsiders don't understand?"

Listening to Li Qiu's words, those censors were immediately speechless.

At this moment, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, nodded in satisfaction.

"You all heard what Li Qiu just said."

"Now, are you all satisfied?"

"Just now what Li Qiu said, our king of the Tang Dynasty is Shengming, and our ministers are virtuous and straight."
