Linshuo Palace!

Li Shimin and Li Zhi and his son met again after a long separation, and there was something to say no to play.

Whether it is trivial matters in life or national security, both of them can chat with relish.

Li Shimin could clearly feel that after more than a year of baptism in government affairs, his son has become more experienced and more relieved in dealing with matters of big and small. He said: "After returning to Chang'an, you will continue to be in charge. You can freely appoint officials under the third rank and below without informing your father. If you have a notification from the third rank and above, let your father check it."

This statement once is almost equivalent to giving most of the power of the imperial court.

In addition to prime minister, minister-level officials, middle and lower-level officials, Li Zhi, the prince of the governor, can be appointed by himself.

"Father!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Your father understands this Eastern Expedition. You are not forgiving this year. If you were in your early years, there would be so many things. Now... I really can't accept my old age. I'll let my father rest well and give you some advice later."

Li Zhi took it with some fear and fear.

Li Shimin suddenly asked, "For your sixteenth uncle's reward, my father decided to suppress him again. What do you think?"

Li Zhi hesitated and said, "After the arrangement of his father, it's just the Sixteenth Uncle. This time he made a lot of contributions. He was too overwhelmed. With his sixteenth Uncle, he wouldn't say anything. The civil and military officials would probably have a little bit of opinions..."

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "It makes sense. In this Eastern Expedition, your sixteenth uncle's first achievement is understandable and unparalleled. It is not good to suppress too much, so I feel a little sorry for him. What do the prince thinks?"

Li Zhidao: "If you are promoted, you will not be promoted. Uncle Sixteen is free and easy, obsessed with civil engineering, and will not give him real power to senior officials. Instead, he will be happy."

Li Shimin nodded in praise and said, "Zhi Nu can understand the good and hard work of his father, and is deeply pleased with his father. Your sixteenth uncle is a talent and also knows how to advance and retreat. I have to suppress him here so that you can entrust important tasks in the future."

Just as Li Shimin and Li Zhi were talking at night, Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were also gathered in the inn east of Jicheng City.

Changsun Wuji went to Goguryeo and left the temple for more than a year. He also needed to get to know again for a lot of time.

Chu Suiliang, an ally who has been secretly connected, is undoubtedly the best choice.

The two also discussed the court in detail.

The six tribes had Fang Xuanling in Chang'an, and the prince Li Zhi and Jicheng were in charge of the headquarters of the Eastern Expedition Army. The two courts governed the entire Tang Dynasty in an orderly manner, and nothing special happened.

Especially when he learned about Li Zhi's behavior in Jicheng's handling of affairs, Changsun Wuji also nodded and said, "But in just a few years, he has become the emperor's spirit, and the prince is worthy of the son of destiny."

"By the way..." Changsun Wuji suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Majesty returns to Chang'an this time and is likely to retreat behind the scenes, control some of the rights, and the prince continues to supervise the country. You can take advantage of the appointment to deal with the prince well so as not to do the icing on the cake."

Chu Suiliang's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Why is this? Your Majesty is in full swing in the spring and autumn, so how can he delegate power at this time?"

Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, after the rebellion of Li Chengqian, his health was worse than before. This conquest was worried about labor and he was even more exhausted. The prince was newly established and lacked training. Giving him more opportunities to exercise will be beneficial to the future and to Your Majesty."

Chu Suiliang asked, "Your Majesty has made up his mind?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "If the prince is unable to bear the great responsibility, or has obvious mistakes. Your Majesty dares to delegate power too early, it may delay one or two. Now the prince is doing excellently, but he lacks experience. With his understanding of Your Majesty, this matter is almost the same."

Chu Suiliang knew that Changsun Wuji's perception of Li Shimin was very comparable, and said solemnly: "That would be a little bad... However, when the Grand Master comes back, everything doesn't matter."

Changsun Wuji looked at Chu Suiliang strangely.

Chu Suiliang explained: "The Grand Tutor doesn't know that during the reign of the prince, you and I were not on the side. Liu Li chose a bargain and used the convenience of being with him to win over a group of people around the prince. The prince favored him very much and often asked him for advice. Now he is the first person in front of the prince. I thought that when Your Majesty returned to the court, they were just clowns. But Your Majesty did not want to be in charge and handed over the power to the prince, which would be of great disadvantage to us."

Chu Suiliang is a famous calligrapher in the world. With Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan, he died of illness one after another. His calligraphy is now a unique existence in the temple. Li Shimin has many special interests, and calligraphy is one of them.

Chu Suiliang didn't take Liu Shi seriously because he didn't think that Liu Shi was more emperor-like than him.

Now that I learned that Li Shimin wanted to retreat behind the scenes, I was a little panicked.

Li Zhi is not like Li Shimin, who is a calligraphy style.

Liu Shi is like him, with a radical nature and frequent disagreements in politics. If he really wants to gain power, how can he have a good life?

Changsun Wuji glanced at Chu Suiliang indifferently, saw through the concerns in his heart, and said, "What do you think?"

Chu Suiliang gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty really wants to let the prince supervise the country for a long time. Then Liu Yu must not be kept. If you stay, you will cause disaster." He paused and said, "Trial Master, do you know that before your Majesty's Eastern Expedition, he specially called Gao Shilian, Liu Yu, and Ma Zhou in front of him, and told them, 'This expedition will be entrusted with the safety of the country's safety.' What did Liu Yu say when he heard this? He said, 'Your Majesty does not need to worry. If there are any ministers who are disobedient, I will punish you for your majesty'."

"Liu Shi is agile, has a good idea, and is well-versed in history and has laid out political skills. However, he is too square and too domineering, and does not take any personal feelings. If he continues to develop like this, he will definitely become the number one enemy in the temple."

Changsun Wuji said, "I don't object to the exclusion of Liu Yan. But before excluding Liu Yan, I have to figure out the real relationship between Liu Yan and the prince. Is Liu Yan the prince's person, or is it simply the prince's talent respected by the prince. It is the former, Liu Yan must not be moved. It is very unwise to offend the prince for Liu Yan. If you simply respect it for the prince, it would be fine. What is most lacking in the world is talents. Apart from Liu Yan, a second one will appear."

He said, and stood up and said, "It's getting late, so go back. You can handle the matter of Liu Shi yourself. It's not easy for me to get involved. I will come forward to speak for you at critical moments."

A sharp look flashed in Chu Suiliang's eyes and he said, "Yes!"

He stood up and said goodbye and left.

When he walked to the door, Chu Suiliang suddenly thought of something and slapped his head. Just as he was about to turn around and report, he suddenly stopped and whispered: "He has made the heavenly master this time, and even if he has said it, it is useless. It is better to keep it for use in the future."

As he said that, he turned around again and disappeared on the street.
