If Li Longji wants to realize his ambitions, ascend to the throne and create a prosperous Kaiyuan era, he must first become famous. This has been achieved at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last year.

Secondly, he wanted to establish military merits and enhance his reputation, and he did it too.

Finally, he wanted to cultivate his power, and he had to do it quickly and complete it before Wu Zetian established the crown prince.

Cultivating power is the most difficult thing, but it is not difficult for Li Longji now. Because he made great contributions, the Turks were destroyed because of him. He had a high prestige in the army, and the soldiers loved him and were close to him. As long as he seized the opportunity, planted people, and inserted those generals who were willing to follow him into the army, he would cultivate a huge force.

It was precisely because of this that Li Longji asked to enter the Ministry of War. As long as he entered the Ministry of War, even if he was a small official, he would have the confidence to control the Ministry of War and then control the army.

"Thank you grandmother!" This time, Li Longji did not refuse and immediately thanked him.

Li Longji was confident that even if he was a small official of the Ministry of War, he could still control the Ministry of War. However, as the actual boss of the Ministry of War, it would be easier to do things, so why not do it?

"Mire! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, Song Jing and others woke up and nodded slightly, greatly appreciating.

The first-rank, second-rank and third-rank high-ranking positions are both empty, so how can you control the army? As long as the military power is in hand, you still worry about whether the big thing will be accomplished?

As long as the military power is in hand, even if Wu Zetian wants to make the Wu clan the crown prince, Li Longji can launch a coup.

"Sanlang's move is great." Li Dan and Li Xian came over and were very happy.

"This..." Princess Taiping's face changed and she kept silent.

She also realized that Li Longji took retreat as he advanced and wanted to control the military power. This was a great thing for the Li family at present. However, the people Li Longji arranged were his followers. Once Li Longji completed it, Li Longji's power would expand rapidly. By then, Princess Taiping would have great difficulties if she wanted to be the princess.

She wanted to object, but this was a great benefit to the current Li family, and she could not object.

"Your Majesty, no." Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi looked at each other, and they also understood Li Longji's intention and wanted to stop this. Once Li Longji took control of the military power, this would be a huge threat to them.

"Yeah." Wu Zetian was a little surprised and said, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Li Longji is too young to be a doctor in the Ministry of War." Wu Sansi said hurriedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Chengsi quickly agreed.

They couldn't explain it, they could only make up their minds when Li Longji was too young.

"The two of you are so different." Di Renjie knew very well how important it was to let Li Longji enter the Ministry of War. He immediately gave Li Longji strong support and said, "The King of Chu made great contributions in this northern expedition, which is obvious to all. The King of Chu's talent is well-known to everyone. With the King of Chu's great talent, he will definitely be able to manage the Ministry of War."

"That's right." Zhang Jianzhi echoed: "A battle at Jikou. If the King of Chu had not blocked the Turks, there would have been such a great victory. This is enough to prove that the King of Chu was a great talent."

"Talent has nothing to do with age. Ganluo is the prime minister. The King of Chu was fourteen years old, two years older than Ganluo. Can't he be a doctor in the Ministry of War?" Song Jing gave an example.

"Okay. I have decided on this matter and cannot discuss it again." Wu Zetian nodded slightly, and agreed with Di Renjie and the others' words, and made a final decision.

Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi looked at each other and dared not say anything more.

"Sanlang, you have to show off your fighting spirit and take good care of the Ministry of War." Wu Zetian encouraged Li Longji and said, "Grandmother is looking forward to your success."

"Grandma, don't worry." Li Longji raised his head and raised his chest. He patted his chest and promised, "My grandson will definitely take care of the Ministry of War to satisfy you."

"Okay!" Wu Zetian nodded in praise and said, "Zhang Shuoce's number one in the world is the best. There are great strategies. This northern expedition, which is very good. Zhang Shuo, you should be the Minister of War and the Assistant Sanlang."

Zhang said that he was very talented. If he had helped him, Li Longji would have managed the Ministry of War very well.

"Abide by the order." Zhang Shuo knew the importance of controlling the Ministry of War and did not refuse.

"Your Majesty, no." A huge threat to Li Longji join the Ministry of War. Li Longji's confidant Zhang said that he would enter the Ministry of War. What's wrong? Wu Sansi hurriedly stopped him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Chengsi quickly agreed and said, "Zhang Shuo has ulterior motives and abandons His Majesty and surrenders to Li Longji. His intention should be punished."

"Haha!" Li Longji laughed wildly, his face turned cold, and said coldly to Wu Sansi: "Wu Sansi, Wu Sansi, you really can't change your shit..."

"Puchi!" A burst of laughter sounded, and the ministers all looked strange.

One of the heirs of Wu Zetian was actually criticized by Li Longji as a shit-eating dog in public. This is so funny.

"Li Longji, shut up!" Wu Sansi felt his face burning, and his face was twisted.

"Who slandered Zhang Shuo that day? Who slandered Zhang Shuo? Wu Sansi, tell me." Li Longji's face was cold and shouted at Wu Sansi, roaring like thunder.

"This..." Wu Sansi was speechless.

It was precisely because of Wu Sansi's slander that Zhang Shuo was dismissed from office by Wu Zetian, and he could not argue.

"Zhang Shuoce is the best in the world, with a talented and awesome character, and everyone knows it. You are the only one who frames Zhang Shuo, and you have ulterior motives." Li Longji widened his eyes and shouted, "If I hadn't been to my love for talent and taking in Zhang Shuo, the court would have lost a capable minister."

"Not bad!" the ministers agreed loudly.

"Well." Wu Zetian highly praised Li Longji's words and said, "Sanlang loves talents and cherishes talents, and can value talents more. He is a good example! He is worthy of my good grandson!"

One of the important reasons why Wu Zetian was able to succeed from becoming the only queen in Chinese history is that she loved and cherished talents. Li Longji's words were deeply appreciated by her.

"Zhang said that the matter of joining the Ministry of War is settled." Wu Zetian glared at Wu Sansi fiercely. He slandered Zhang and said that the matter had not settled the score with him, so he jumped out.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang's talent was highly praised by the ministers; Zhang's character was very admired by the ministers. Zhang's character was very unwilling to join the Ministry of War, and the ministers had no objection.

Next, there will be great rewards, and the meritorious soldiers will get what they want and are happy.

Wu Zetian knew that people were good at responsibilities, and rewards and punishments were clearly distinguished. This reward was promoted without any mistakes, and Li Longji was greatly impressed.

In the East Palace, Li Longji and Zhang Shuo, Chen Xuanli, Xue Zhi, Zhang Xiaofei, Li Kuan, Su Fan, Pei Xiaoke and others gathered together to discuss major events.

"The King of Chu requested to enter the Ministry of War, which was a very wise decision." Zhang Shi said with admiration, "As long as he went to the Ministry of War, even a minor official, with the talent of the King of Chu, he could achieve great things."

"That's right." Chen Xuanli agreed with this and said: "The King of Chu is very prestigious in the army. The soldiers love the King of Chu. With a little planning, the King of Chu can control an army."

Li Longji's move to enter the Ministry of War was a wonderful move. Zhang said that Chen Xuanli and others knew very well that this was of great benefit.

"You are right." Li Longji nodded and said, "With my prestige, it is not difficult to cultivate power. It only takes a little effort. However, the most important thing at the moment is to control the thousand cavalry."

"Qianqi?" Zhang said, Chen Xuanli and the others were stunned.

"King of Chu, Qianqi is controlled by His Majesty himself. How can we control this?" Qianqi has a great role and is the only army controlled by Wu Zetian himself.

As long as he controls the thousand cavalry, he will take the safety of the palace in his hands, that is, he will hold Wu Zetian's life. By then, Wu Zetian will be full of worries.

The benefits of controlling the Thousand Riders are obvious, but it is too difficult to achieve the goal.

"You are all from Qianqi, and you have made great contributions. It is not a problem to return to Qianqi." Li Longji smiled faintly and said, "As long as you return to Qianqi, you can control many Qianqi, and I will control Qianqi."

"No," Zhang Shuo was the first to agree.

"Okay! Listen to the King of Chu." Chen Xuanli and the others agreed in unison.

Chen Xuanli and the others have made great achievements and become famous. In addition, they were originally from Qianqi, so it was easy to return to Qianqi. After they returned, they must be the lieutenant, that is, they control a Qianqi.

There are so many of them. The number of riders they have mastered together must be quite a few.

"Also, the King of Chu should walk with General Qianqi and Zhong Shaojing Duoga." Zhang said that he had another idea.

"It's a must." Li Longji agreed with this.

Liu Youqiu is the General of Thousand Cavalry, and Zhong Shaojing is very talented. The two of them have a good relationship with Li Longji. As long as they spend more time making friends, these two people will inevitably turn to Li Longji.

By then, the entire Qianqi was under the control of Li Longji, and even Wu Zetian would be scared.

"King of Chu, General Qianqi and Zhong Shao are asking for a meeting." At this moment, the elite Gao Lishi came in to report.

"Let's go and welcome." When Cao Cao was here, Li Longji immediately stood up and went to greet him.

Everyone came out of the house to greet him, but they saw Liu Youqiu and Zhong Shaojing standing outside the hall waiting.

"Li Longji has met General Qianqi. He has met Lord Zhong." Li Longji quickly stepped forward and greeted the two of them, with a friendly look on his face and said with a smile: "It's a wind blowing today, blowing you two? Please come in quickly, please come in quickly!"

"The King of Chu has become so serious, but the King of Chu has become so serious. We both take the liberty to disturb us and ask the King of Chu to forgive us for his abrupt crime." Liu Youqiu and Zhong Shaojing hurriedly greeted him.

After a few greetings, Li Longji invited the two into the hall and ordered Gao Lishi to bring tea.

"You two come to see me, what's the important thing?" Li Longji knew very well that there must be something important when they came.

"King of Chu, we will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. This time we came here, we would ask the King of Chu for help if we had something to do." Liu Youjing put down the teacup and said, "It's time to choose the thousand cavalry again. We came here for this matter. The King of Chu is familiar with the army and must know a lot of talents. He also asked the King of Chu to recommend more talents."

Every time a thousand cavalry arrives, they have to re-select and eliminate the unqualified people. Then they choose from the reserve army or the elite army.

This is a big event. Whenever a thousand cavalry is selected, there will be a lot of noise. Moreover, you must inform the Ministry of War.

Although this is an army controlled by Wu Zetian himself, how can I choose without passing through the Ministry of War?

It's great. Just as I was about to go to bed, someone gave me a pillow!
