Chapter 697 Tang Jian sat there and asked Gao Shilian, but there was a way to alleviate the problem of insufficient money and food in the court. Gao Shilian was also asked without saying anything. Now the court is war, but money is needed.

At present, the army has made a lot of military achievements in the Turks and the expanded land is also very large. According to the report sent from the front line, the Tang Dynasty's army has now reached the Kucha area, and the area of ​​the Tang Dynasty has increased by about two-thirds.

Now Li Shimin has sent a map surveyor to go there to map the map. Li Shimin really wants to know how big the area there is, and Li Shimin is now ambitious and hopes to build the straight road there and strengthen control over the northwest.

"Gao Pushe, it's not that we are targeting Duke Zhao. Just look at the things that Duke Zhao does. If anyone had done, I think I would feel disappointed. If Duke Zhao didn't leave the court, I believe Duke Hu would definitely not go back.

Of course, even if he left, we don’t know if Hu Guogong would enter the court as an official. We have not talked to Hu about this matter yet, but if Zhao Guogong left, we can only talk to Hu Guogong. It depends on your meaning now." Fang Xuanling looked at Gao Shilian and asked.

"Okay, okay, I'll just agree." Gao Shilian said with a sigh. Everyone despised Changsun Wuji's approach, and Gao Shilian was no exception.

The day after Qin Huaidao held the banquet, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and others went to Chengtian Palace and met Li Shimin. They asked Changsun Wuji to go back to take care of his old age.

Li Shimin was happy to see them put forward this request. He could not take the initiative to make it, but could only let the ministers put it forward.

"We still need to consider the meaning of Duke Zhao in this matter. Let Duke Zhao come over now, let everyone talk about it? How about it?" Li Shimin looked at them and said, and he definitely couldn't agree immediately.

He wanted to see if Changsun Wuji would be conscious. If he was not conscious, it would not be too late for him to make a decision.

"It's good that some things need to be explained clearly!" Fang Xuanling nodded and said, and the other ministers nodded, and then Li Shimin sent someone to Xuan Changsun Wuji. At the same time, he also discussed the big things now.

After a while, Changsun Wuji came over and saw so many ministers here, thinking that something had happened.

"Duke Zhao, we came to you today, hoping that you can come up with ideas and see if you can make Duke Hu become an official!" Fang Xuanling saw Changsun Wuji sitting down, and asked with a smile.

"Then you need your Majesty to talk to him. There is nothing you can do about this minister." Changsun Wuji was also very surprised when he heard this. Talking about Qin Huai Dao? He also wanted Qin Huai Dao to become an official? What does it mean to ask him to talk to him?

"I've gone to search for it, it's useless." Li Shimin said. Changsun Wuji was even more puzzled when he heard it. Since it was useless for Li Shimin to search for it, what does it mean to find him? So he looked at Fang Xuanling and the others.

"Duke Zhao, there is not much money on the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Works. If Duke Hu doesn't come out yet, it will affect the operations in the northwest at that time. This matter is very important. If Duke Hu cannot be invited to serve as an official, then he can only get the money first. I wonder if Duke Zhao has a solution?" Fang Xuanling then asked Changsun Wuji.

"Duke Liang, you should be considering this matter?" Changsun Wuji looked at Fang Xuanling in confusion and asked, with a bad premonition in his heart. Now Fang Xuanling is just staring at him and asking, obviously aiming at him.

"That's right, we are considering it. Of course, we also hope that you can think of a solution. Otherwise, we can only ask Duke Hu to come out. The condition for Duke Hu to come out is that if you are in the court, Duke Hu will never come out!" Fang Xuanling nodded and stared at Changsun Wuji and said.

"You!" Changsun Wuji stood up suddenly at this moment. Now he fully understood what Fang Xuanling meant. He wanted to let himself retire and completely leave the officialdom, like Qin Huaidao, and without Li Shimin's summoning, he could not participate in the government affairs.

"Duke Zhao, you must also understand us. It's really hard for us now!" Tang Jian said to Changsun Wuji.

"Yes, Duke Zhao and Duke Hu are not here, our Ministry of Works is in a state of semi-breaking state. Therefore, I still hope Duke Zhao will consider the court in this matter!" Li Daliang also said to Changsun Wuji.

"Auxiliary machine, there are many problems in the court now, and it is urgently needed to solve them. Of course, if you have a good solution, it is OK!" Gao Shilian knew that it was time to speak. If he didn't speak, Li Shimin would probably have any objections to him by then.

Now he also realized that Li Shimin also wanted Changsun Wuji to retire and stay away from the court completely.

"Your Majesty, I!" Changsun Wuji was so angry that he couldn't speak at this moment, and he was very unwilling to accept it. He never dreamed that these people would force him to retire.

"Auxiliary machine, this matter still needs to be discussed. Now our Tang Dynasty army has made rapid progress in the northwest, singing all the way, and has already reached Kucha, adding a large amount of territory to our Tang Dynasty, but it also requires a lot of money and food to maintain the battle.

Of course, if Boping didn't come out, the court could be fought, but it would be very difficult. Therefore, I still hope that you can consider how to solve the current crisis." Li Shimin sat on it and said very tactfully. Changsun Wuji couldn't understand it.

"My, my memory!" Changsun Wuji stood there, a little shaking. Gao Shilian next to him immediately went over to support him, and Changsun Wuji also fainted. As for whether he was really fainted, no one knew, but he seemed to be fainted.

"Come on, please invite the imperial physician to come!" Li Shimin was a little panicked, but was not in a hurry. The imperial physician came soon, but failed to wake Changsun Wuji up. There was no way, so Li Shimin had to send someone back and sent a large number of imperial physicians to treat.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I shouldn't have brought it up today to let Duke Zhao retire!" Fang Xuanling stood in front of Li Shimin at this moment, bowing and saying, "The others had dispersed, so he was left behind."

"Well, you go visit tonight, and hope he can wake up." Li Shimin said, and he didn't care about what Fang Xuanling just said.

He originally hoped that Changsun Wuji could take the initiative to propose it, but he did not expect that Changsun Wuji was so stubborn. Now Li Shimin suspected that Changsun Wuji was pretending to be dizzy and avoided this discussion by pretending to be dizzy.

"Yes, I will visit you in person. However, I still hope that Duke Hu can become an official. With Duke Hu, there were not so many difficult things in the court before. Many things can be solved by Duke Hu. Unlike now, many things have made everyone at a loss. Of course, it is not that it is impossible without Duke Hu. It is just that without Duke Hu, things will not be so smooth!" Fang Xuanling explained to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded without saying anything.

Soon, Fang Xuanling said goodbye.

Qin Huaidao also received the news in the mansion, and Changsun Wuji fainted again.

"I'm dizzy again, why are you?" Qin Huaidao saw it, laughed, and continued to be busy with his own affairs. Qin Huaidao didn't want to care about Changsun Wuji's affairs.

At night, there was a lot of news coming, and Qin Huaidao realized that it was Fang Xuanling and the others who forced Changsun Wuji to retire, hoping that they could become an official.

"Ha!" Qin Huaidao smiled after learning the news and didn't continue thinking. It was impossible to become an official. Before things were unclear, it was impossible for him to become an official.

That night, Changsun Wuji also woke up and lay on the bed. Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian took a look. No one else came here.

After they left, Changsun Wuji sat up from the bed, his face very gloomy.

"Dad!" Changsun Huan was surprised to see Changsun Wuji sitting up. He thought Changsun Wuji was in trouble this time.

"So cruel!" Changsun Wuji sat there and gritted his teeth.

"Father, the rumors outside are true. Will they ask you to give way to Duke Hu?" Changsun Huan looked at Changsun Wuji anxiously and asked. Changsun Wuji nodded.

"This!" Changsun Huan looked at Changsun Wuji in shock.

"If I retire, then the entire Changsun Mansion will depend on you. This time I will not retreat. Unless there is a major change in the court, or if Qin Huaidao rebelled, otherwise, Your Majesty will not use me again. I, hahaha, I am only fifty years old, so I will not be able to support me?" Changsun Wuji said and laughed sadly, very unwilling to accept it.

The eldest son died and Hachiro died. Next, he didn't know what unexpected situation would happen to his Changsun Mansion. And once he fell down, his sons' current position may not be able to be kept!

"Father, hey!" Changsun Huan was helpless and had already reminded him that it was useless to say anything now. Changsun Wuji has been perseveringly doing what he could do.

"Tomorrow, Your Majesty will come to me. I will use the method of retreating to keep your position. Now this is the only way!" Changsun Wuji said, and Changsun Huan nodded.

The next afternoon, Li Shimin indeed arrived at Changsun Wuji's mansion. After arriving at the mansion, he went straight to Changsun Wuji's bedroom. At this moment, Changsun Wuji was lying there, his face was also pale.

"Assistant, why bother with me, this is. There is no way for the court now. Many officials wrote letters to let Qin Huaidao become an official, and Qin Huaidao has said a long time ago that he would not be an official in the same court with you! So yesterday, Duke Liang and others were like this. There was really no way to come up with this bad plan." Li Shimin held Changsun Wuji's hand and said with a sad look on his face. He was also a good actor.
