"For a long period of time, the Western Region will be the center of gravity of the empire. Of course, this center of gravity will also change over time. The future world will be the world of the sea. (This chapter is typed by ** **)"

Lu Zhaoci sighed deeply and said: "But Tubo is different from other places. Tubo's terrain is dangerous. It is very easy to attack the Central Plains. However, it is very difficult for the Central Plains to attack Tubo. The only way is to eliminate Tubo.

Only by extending the military front of the Tang Dynasty to the plateau can we deal with threats from all places. Therefore, Tubo must be destroyed. This is also my last battle. If the prince wants to control the military and enjoy prestige in the army, he will

If you can successfully inherit my position in the future, you must achieve military merit. Even if you don't have military merit, you must be a post-basic in the army. Therefore, at this time, going to Dafeichuan is the best choice. Xu Shiji and Jing

Like brothers, they are both calm and solid people. In this regard, their fighting style is different from Qin Yong and Xue Rengui. Let the prince practice in the army, he will definitely achieve the best results, and there will be no danger. As for the martial arts deputy

I must also know the position of the mountain commander. The famous generals of the Tang Dynasty will all come from martial arts. The current deputy mountain commander will be the mountain commander in the future. Such a teacher-student friendship will also be beneficial to the prince's career in the army.

It has a foundation and a large number of followers.”

Cui Yingying on the side nodded and realized that Lu Zhaoci was not demoting the prince, but taking the opportunity to give the prince some experience so that he could seize the power in the army and establish prestige in the army. It was just a matter of doing things.

It's just more secretive. I just don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands Lu Zhaoci's thoughts. He looked at Lu Zhaoci with some worry.

"The queen doesn't have to worry about this. Even if the prince doesn't know the reason, his father-in-law will tell him." The couple have been sleeping together for many years, and Lu Zhaoci understands Cui Yingying's every move and every look in her eyes.

Seeing Cui Yingying's appearance, he didn't know what he was thinking. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Queen, just watch! Once my edict is passed, Cen Wenwen, an old fox, will definitely go to congratulate the prince."

"That's for sure. Mr. Cen has followed His Majesty for many years and is proficient in the art of the emperor. He must understand the meaning of His Majesty's move." Cui Yingying said with a smile.

"I know, I know, but this old guy is so abominable, always wandering on the edge of the law, so that I can't catch him." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said: "I really don't know when,

This old guy can't help but scheme against me once."

"Hasn't Mr. Cen been plotted by His Majesty once?" Cui Yingying said with a smile: "At first he was just a little scholar, but later he worked for His Majesty for half his life. Isn't this calculated by His Majesty?"

"That's right." Lu Zhaoci nodded with a smile and said: "This old guy will serve me for the rest of his life. When I stop being the emperor, he will resign! I can't live without this old guy. I must be here."

The same goes for the old guy!”

"This is called knowing each other between the king and his ministers. This has been the case for kings and ministers throughout the ages, isn't it? Your Majesty." Cui Yingying smiled sweetly and said: "Your Majesty, if this were not the case, Mr. Cen would not be so bold. Your Majesty was about to abolish the personnel of Xuande Hall, and Mr. Cen

The decision has been made and His Majesty has seized the opportunity. Mr. Cen has done His Majesty a great favor."

"You mean to say that this old guy has already guessed that I want to abolish the staff of Xuande Hall?" Lu Zhaoci's expression changed and he asked in surprise.

"I just thought of it just now." Cui Yingying shook her head and said: "Although I don't know if Mr. Cen has thought of this, but your Majesty, please don't forget that at the beginning, your Majesty ordered Mr. Di Renjie to be the governor of Beidu and let Chen Guangrui enter the Xuande Hall.

, This is enough to explain His Majesty's thoughts and attitude. I think it is also because of this that Mr. Cen had no reason to object when Lord Changsun targeted the King of Wei."

"Probably so!" Lu Zhaoci nodded and said: "Cen Wenwen is really a monster. I am lucky to have Cen Wenwen. If Mr. Cen is used by others, I may not be able to seize the country. The Tang Dynasty may

It will become another dynasty. Mr. Cen is a great talent!"

"Actually, Mr. Cen is lucky to meet His Majesty. Throughout the ages, how many emperors have trusted a minister so much? How many ministers can have such trust from Your Majesty? How about letting one minister control all the power of a country?

Cui Yingying shook her head and said: "Such an emperor and such ministers are rare in history."

"We know each other! Such courtiers are rare." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said, "I just don't know what Mr. Cen is doing in Chang'an City at this time. Does he have any opinions on those people in Tibet?"

"Don't worry!" Cui Yingying said with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I believe that after this matter reaches Chang'an City, it will become the biggest thing in Chang'an City." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile.

"That's how things are in the DPRK." Cui Yingying said with a smile.

"Well, that's the case." Lu Zhaoci nodded and said, "It's just that the Tubo envoy is a troublesome matter. The Tubo issue is a difficult matter. To fight or not to fight is a question. If we fight, the court is still

Without that strength, if we don’t fight, Tubo will not agree to it, and I will never agree to the marriage."

"Your Majesty, since you are not willing to fight, will the Tubo people be willing to fight?" Cui Yingying said with a smile: "Your Majesty was just interfered by habitual thinking. Your Majesty, if the Tubo people were already ready for war, how could they

They will come here to ask me to marry them. Since they have asked for marriage, it means that they are also unprepared. Your Majesty does not need to worry."

"Yes. The Queen is right." Lu Zhaoci nodded and said: "How could I have thought of this? The Tubo people obviously have not done this kind of thing. Otherwise, they would not have waited in Chang'an City.

Waiting for me to return to Chang'an City."

"Okay." Cui Yingying nodded and said, "Your Majesty, have a good rest!"

The imperial edict was quickly spread to Chang'an City, and sure enough it caused an uproar. Among the few ministers in the Xuande Hall, only Cen Wenwen, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others were left. Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui, Wei Ting and others were dismissed one after another.

Over time, the expressions of many aristocratic families in Guanzhong have changed drastically. Now, the power of the aristocratic families in Guanzhong has changed accordingly, and they are no longer as arrogant as before.

"It doesn't matter if I lose my position and resign. The key is His Highness the Crown Prince." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "As long as His Highness is here, we will naturally be there. If Your Highness is not here, we will not be here either."

"Isn't His Highness the Crown Prince doing very well now?" Wei Ting said dissatisfied. His face was full of dissatisfaction, and the anxiety on his face was clearly revealed. He was dismissed from office, and his position as Assistant Minister of Xuande Hall was lost.

Even the position of Minister of Punishment has disappeared without a trace.

"Yes! Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still His Royal Highness?" Wang Gui said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he has gone to the front line to supervise the army. He also serves as the mountain leader in martial arts. Isn't this great?

?”

"The prince went to Dafeichuan, where is that place? Don't you know?" Changsun Wuji said coldly: "That is the northwest. His Royal Highness the prince was forced to go to that place in the northwest because of this matter. This

It's just a relegation, you know? His Highness the Crown Prince is going to be deposed. This time it was us who harmed His Highness the Crown Prince. Emperors in the past dynasties would not let a prince kill all his sons. Although His Highness did not know about this, but afterwards

How will His Highness behave? He is acquiescing to our actions. If it were not for Cen Wenwen, His Highness the Crown Prince would continue to carry out this matter until we completely defeat His Highness King Wei and abolish the title.

"

"Your Highness is like that." Wang Gui sneered: "Does Your Majesty still want to depose His Highness the Crown Prince? Sir Changsun, now it is not His Highness the Crown Prince's problem, but our problem. We have already lost three seats in Xuande Hall.

What should we do in the future? The Guanzhong family will have big problems in the future. We must know that the world is big, and the Guanzhong family is our foundation. If we are not in Xuande Hall, what should the Guanzhong family do?"

"Huh!" Changsun Wuji frowned. There was a hint of disgust in his heart. The two guys in front of him said they were doing it for His Highness, but in fact, they were thinking about themselves and the Guanzhong family.

.How can such a person sincerely help His Highness the Crown Prince?

"If His Highness is not here, do you think the Guanzhong Family still exists?" Changsun Wuji looked cold and sneered: "The Guanzhong Family is not attached to us, it is not your Taiyuan Wang family, it is not your Changan Wei family, and it is also not my eldest grandson.

Family, but His Highness the Crown Prince. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince exists, the Guanzhong Family will also exist. Without His Highness the Prince, the Guanzhong Family will become a piece of scattered sand like the Guandong Family. It’s ridiculous. At this time, you are still thinking about how to recover.

With my own power, I still think about how to preserve my family, but I don’t know how to help His Royal Highness.”

"Lord Changsun is too cautious." Wang Gui said with a smile: "It's not that we are not loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince, but that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need us to consider it at all. Lord Changsun, I thought that His Majesty would re-register the Crown Prince.

The throne? Frequent replacement of princes will only shake the country's foundation. Your Majesty will not do such a thing."

"Yes, your Majesty is a wise master. How could he do such a thing? Master Changsun is too careful." Wei Ting said with a smile: "Besides, if our Guanzhong family rises, no matter what the prince is replaced by

People, you are not letting us have the final say. Even if His Royal Highness ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he will still rely on our strength to stabilize the government. His Majesty has been attacking aristocratic families for so many years, but he does not know that aristocratic families can never be eliminated.

The demise of an old family heralds the rise of a new family. The nobles in the court today are just like our ancestors. As time goes by, they will become a new family."

"Then what do you think now?" Changsun Wuji sneered: "The imperial edict has been issued, and it is impossible to change it. Do you want to challenge His Majesty? I'm afraid you don't have the strength! Today's emperor is not Yang Guang.

Ah! Although there are some rebellions in the Tang Dynasty nowadays, you must also know very well that it is only a matter of time before such rebellions are put down, and it cannot shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty at all. If you want to take this opportunity to force your majesty to change

The idea is even more impossible."

"Even so, sir, please don't forget that there is another force that Your Majesty will not move." Wei Ting sneered: "The most important thing about this matter is that it depends on His Majesty's attitude. As long as His Majesty changes his attitude,

Not only can the crown prince's position be stabilized, but more importantly, we can also be reinstated."

"Who would let Your Majesty do this?" Changsun Wuji sneered: "I don't know what Your Majesty will do, but I do know that His Majesty's target this time is probably not just us. What I'm more worried about is another matter.

.Is this also the reason why after I received His Majesty’s imperial edict, not only did I fail to discern, but I was even prepared to write a letter to apologize?”

"What, are you going to write a letter to plead guilty?" Wang Gui's expression changed and he asked in surprise. Even Wei Ting showed nervousness on his face and looked at Changsun Wuji quietly.

"Your Majesty, when doing things, you don't take action. Once you do, you will hit the target directly." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "These days, I am resting at home, and I can vaguely grasp your Majesty's thoughts. The reason why Your Majesty

Before the Tibetan envoys came, no decision was made. They probably wanted to test the situation in Beijing, or it could be said that they wanted to test the Xuande Palace. It can even be said that the target was against a few of us. Look at the past few years.

, the status of our Guanzhong family in the Tang Dynasty is getting higher and higher. The seven ministers of Xuande Palace are each responsible for one department, and we have occupied three important departments. This is a problem! All officials in the world are

It comes from the Ministry of Personnel, and the Guanzhong Family controls the Ministry of Personnel. Many officials in the imperial court are monopolized by the Guanzhong Family. His Majesty has long been unhappy. He is also from a family and knows the details of the family. That's why he became the emperor.

After that, he wanted to weaken the aristocratic families. He would either fight or kill the aristocratic families in the world, and he would use any combination of vertical and horizontal methods. The aristocratic families in Guanzhong, Guandong, Jiangzuo, etc. were all wiped out by him, and their vitality was severely damaged. For a period of time,

After that, with our help, the Guanzhong family slowly regained its strength. The weight of speaking in the court will also become more and more important. So His Majesty began to worry again. What he was worried about was not His Highness the Crown Prince, but

They are worried about our Guanzhong family."

"Master Zhangsun is joking." Wei Ting and Wang Gui's expressions changed when they heard this, but they soon showed a smile, shook their heads and said: "Although the strength of our Guanzhong family has also recovered a lot, it is still the same as before.

There is a huge difference, not to mention that we are loyal to His Majesty and to the Tang Dynasty. We will obey His Majesty's orders. How can Your Majesty guard against us? Haha, Mr. Changsun, you are too sensitive."

"You yourself know whether it is yes or no." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "It's just that from now on, I, Changsun Wuji, will be idle at home. I will no longer be involved in political affairs. I also hope that the two adults will do the same.

.Haha, since you have become an idle person, it is better not to interfere with the affairs of the court. This is probably the case for monarchs and ministers throughout the ages! You two will not force your majesty to do things like killing heroes indiscriminately!" Wei Ting looked at him after hearing this.

After the change, even Wang Gui's face showed a trace of paleness. Of course they knew the meaning of these eternal monarchs. Lu Zhaoci was like this back then, such as Cen Wenwen and Li Jing. It's just that these three people were all monks who became monks on the way.

After the person of his allegiance died, he only started to join Lu Zhaoci's camp to assist Lu Zhaoci. If he can be regarded as an eternal monarch, isn't it a bit too much...

When the two were about to ask again, they saw Chang Sun Wuji gently wave his hand. In desperation, the two had no choice but to stand up and leave with a lot of questions.

"Master Wang, you are usually very smart. Can you tell me whether Master Changsun really wants to retire to the mountains and no longer interfere with the government?" Outside Changsun Wuji's residence, Wei Ting called Wang Gui and frowned.

Asked: "I always feel that the idea of ​​​​eternal monarchs and ministers is strange. If we talk about the general and Cen Wenwen, we can also say that they are eternal monarchs and ministers, because these two people have followed Your Majesty from beginning to end. Your Majesty has no regard for these two."

They are also very friendly people, but we are different. At that time, we were loyal to the Li family. Later, although we made some minor contributions, we can't be regarded as emperors and ministers through the ages!"

"To be honest, this Changsun Wuji is not a simple figure. He is not only the Assistant Minister of Xuande Palace, but also the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. With such power, even Master Cen cannot compare to him! It's embarrassing!

Just throw it away, is it really unbelievable?" Wang Gui shook his head and said: "He is such a person who is unwilling to be lonely, but he can also endure loneliness? Kings and ministers throughout the ages, sometimes, are not necessarily talking about themselves!"

When Wang Gui finished speaking, his face showed a thoughtful look. Then he waved his hand to Wei Ting, but walked away.

"If you're not talking about him, then who are you talking about?" Wei Ting heard the words behind him, frowned and said, "Are you talking about Li Jing or Cen Wenwen? Hey! It's really him, what should I do?

Have you thought about it? Yes, he is so cunning! Maybe he has already made a plan. However, you have to find a way to do this. However, it is impossible for you to eat cheap food. Let me

Wait for the charge in front, and then you will benefit. How can such a good thing happen?" Wei Ting glanced back at the tall Changsun's mansion, with a sneer on his lips. He nodded, got into his carriage, and quickly disappeared in

In front of Changsun's mansion.!~!
