Hall of Longevity.

Li Si sat on the throne of the dragon chair and looked at the memorial.

"Beijing Jiedushi Zhao Gong?"

Li Siwang asked the eunuch, "I announce that Cao Zhengchun has entered the palace, and I have something to ask him." Li Si explained to Cao Zhengchun and asked him to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Beiting Jiedushi. Now Li Si wants to see, Beiting Over there, what happened.

"According to the order."

The attendant eunuch respectfully said. After staying by Li Si's side for a long time, the eunuchs who served in the eunuch naturally knew that among the courtiers, His Majesty the Emperor trusted Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Factory.

However, the eunuch's personal eunuch also knew in his heart that no matter how much the emperor trusted Cao Zhengchun, for His Majesty, if one day Cao Zhengchun's affairs were unfavorable and he failed the saint's grace, the emperor's eyes and ears would be changed.

The eunuch has been in the palace for decades, and he knows very well that the most ruthless person in the world is the emperor.

The eunuch, the valet, ordered to leave the Hall of Longevity.

After a while, the emperor's will reached Dongchang, and Cao Zhengchun immediately rushed to the Hall of Longevity. Li Si leaned slightly on the throne of the dragon chair and rubbed his eyebrows.

During this time, with the advent of spring, the Datang Empire ushered in the spring ploughing, and more and more government affairs became available.

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to set up a cabinet or something to help me handle some government affairs..."

Li Si thought silently in his heart.

Since ascending the throne, Li Si has been thinking about this issue.

However, there are two difficulties in setting up a cabinet.

First, the cabinet members are loyal enough.

Otherwise, if he is like the eunuch Li Jingzhong, who deceives the superior and conceals the inferior, what is the significance of Li Si's establishment of a cabinet?

Second, the cabinet members are competent enough.

Otherwise, if the members of the cabinet do not have the ability to make decisions and ask the emperor for advice on everything, what is the difference between Li Si setting up a cabinet and not setting up a cabinet?

However, with only these two requirements, throughout the Manchu civil and military affairs, few courtiers met them.

Grand Lieutenant Yang Qinglin is eligible to join the cabinet.

It's just that there are too few Taiwei Yang Qinglin alone.

Moreover, Li Si also did not want that in the cabinet, Taiwei Yang Qinglin was the only one.

After all, the human heart is the most difficult to guess.

Unless it is a god and demon summoned by Li Si himself.

Otherwise, Li Si would not believe a single one.

It's just that the gods and demons summoned by the system only happen once a month.

Moreover, Li Si can't control what the summoned gods and demons are good at.

For example, the god and demon Bai Qi, if Bai Qi is allowed to enter the cabinet, I am afraid that he can kill all the officials of the whole dynasty. . . .

Therefore, if you want the Tang Dynasty to have long-term stability, you must borrow the power of the Tang courtiers.

Li Siyou thought about reusing the scholars who took this imperial examination.

But these scholars need time to hone...

...

...

North Court.

The festival is attached.

Beiting Jiedushi Zhao Gong sat on the main seat with his brows furrowed.

at this time.

A figure walked in quickly.

"General, I found it."

"Master Zhao Zheng, I did meet someone that day."

Zhao Gong was shocked when he heard the words.

Since his seventh son Zhao Zheng provoked the imperial power, Zhao Gong has been in a state of trepidation.

Provoking imperial power, if it is placed at other times, it may not matter.

But now the emperor is cruel, and he has a lesson from the Jiedushi of Hexi, how can he not be afraid of Zhao Gong?

Zhao Gong faintly noticed that he was caught in a whirlpool.

"Say it!"

"Who did Zheng'er meet?"

Zhao Gong calmed down and asked.

"General Qi, yes..."

Before the visitor finished speaking, another person walked in quickly: "General, someone wants to see you!"

"who?"

Zhao Gong said impatiently.

"It's from Shuofang's side..."

As soon as the words came out.

Zhao Gong's pupils shrank!

Shuofang?

Shuofang Jiedushi?

The king of Shuofang, who occupies the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, has 600,000 troops, and can cover the sky with only one hand?

Compared with Fan Qing, the Jiedushi envoy in Hexi,

Shuofang Jiedushi is stronger and more ambitious.

Secretly, Shuofang Jiedushi called himself King Shuofang...

In the Tang Dynasty, only those with the blood of the Li family and the emperor personally canonized are qualified to call themselves kings.

The ambition of Shuofang Jiedushi's move can be imagined.

However, even so, the previous Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had nothing to do with Shuofang Jiedushi.

"General, the person Young Master Zhao Zheng met that day was the son of Shuofang Jiedushi."

When Zhao Gong, the Jiedu envoy of Beiting heard this, he suddenly stood up.

"King Shuofang."

"What did he come to do with me!"

Zhao Gong walked back and forth, feeling extremely uneasy.

Although he was the Jiedushi of Beiting and the same level as the Jiedushi of Shuofang, Zhao Gong knew in his heart how terrible the Jiedushi of Shuofang was.

It is said that during the An-Shi Rebellion, both the Tang Empire and the Jiedushi of An Lushan were lost. In this turmoil, the biggest beneficiary was the Jiedushi of Shuofang......

Even the origin of the Anshi Rebellion has a faint shadow of King Shuofang.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"If King Shuofang wants to go against it, he just goes against it, what do you mean by dragging me into the water!"

Beiting Jiedu made cold sweat break out.

At this moment, he still didn't understand that his son Zhao Zheng fell into King Shuofang's calculations.

And King Shuofang did this for only one purpose.

Datang Empire.

King Shuofang couldn't take it any longer.

Today, under the rule of the emperor, the Datang Empire is thriving, and its national strength has gradually begun to recover.

This kind of situation, if the people of the Tang Dynasty, are naturally happy to see it.

But for the ambitious King Shuofang, it couldn't be worse.

If Datang's national strength continued to decline, King Shuofang wouldn't mind enduring it for a few more years.

But now, if King Shuofang continues to wait, I am afraid there will be no chance again.

The Beiting Jiedu envoy Zhao Gong wanted to understand this, but there was nothing he could do.

Whether it was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty or King Shuofang, he couldn't afford to offend him.

At this moment, Zhao Gong can't wait to pinch Zhao Zheng to death...

However, Zhao Gong also understood in his heart that if this matter was really planned by King Shuofang, even if it wasn't Zhao Zheng, it was also his other sons.

"General, the people outside, have you seen me yet..."

Zhao Gong, the governor of Beiting, took a deep breath: "Tell him that I'm not in the mansion."

However.

Zhao Gong's voice just fell.

A small chuckle came.

"General Zhao, my master, want me to bring a few words, General Zhao better listen..."

I saw a scribe in white slowly walking in.

When Zhao Gong saw the white-robed scribe, his heart froze, and he quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "I should listen to what King Shuofang says..."

...

...

Chang'an.

Royal Palace.

Cao Zhengchun entered the Hall of Longevity.

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair, looked at Cao Zhengchun, and said, "What happened to what I asked you to investigate?"

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, there is indeed an outsider who intervenes in the matter of Beiting and deliberately instructs the seventh son of Jiedushi of Beiting..."

"Oh?"

"Tell me, who is testing me?"

Li Si's voice was a little cold.

To test the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? What is this trying to do?

Cao Zhengchun raised his head and said, "Report to Your Majesty, it is King Shuofang!"
