No matter which era, the existence of the Taoist priest is indispensable.

In order to demonstrate their aloofness, they usually look at things with a erotic eye. As long as they do not involve their own interests, they will look at everything from the commanding heights of morality.

Tubo spread rumors, which was obviously the strategy of a hostile country.

But the defenders ignored this and took advantage of the situation to show their position and demonstrated their upright side.

They scolded the court for launching an unjust war, saying that the reason for the failure of the Southern Expedition was because the army was Wuming. If they did not regret it and admit their mistakes, they would be punished by God.

This type of people not only exists among the people, but also in the court.

Thanks to this, Li Longji, who lives in the palace, realized that the Tang Dynasty's wrong decision this time had already made a known to everyone in the world.

Li Longji, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger, was so angry that he even thought of blocking his words.

Opening up the road to speech and promoting censors to participate in politics was a feat of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. Just in terms of accepting advice, there were almost not many kings in China who could compare with Li Shimin. His listening to advice and acceptance of advice was almost a pathological level.

Later, Li Zhi had a gentle personality and followed his father in everything, and passed on the system of accepting advice.

Until the Wu Hou Dynasty, Wu Zetian, who was arbitrary in his own right, naturally changed this style, and the censor system began to perish in name only.

The next Tang Zhongzong and Tang Ruizong, one foolish and the other one was a Chinese talent, did not reopen the censor system.

It was not until after Li Longji ascended the throne that Yao Chong was promoted to prime minister.

Yao Chong proposed to Li Longji "Ten Things to Say", among which is the method of opening up the road of speech, and Li Longji also reopened the system of censorship.

Like Li Shimin, Li Longji has unconditional tolerance for censors, and even if the censors make the wrong statement, they will not be investigated.

But compared to Li Shimin, Li Longji is ultimately inferior.

In the face of the censor's proposal, Li Shimin was able to make a very rational judgment and analysis. If the censor wants to say the right thing, he will listen, and he will not blame or listen.

But Li Longji is different. He follows his temperament. If you think your words are pertinent, he will listen. If you don’t listen to your words, or if you are in a bad mood, he will not listen.

The words of some censors in the court today made him extremely uncomfortable.

As the emperor, Li Longji had an endless pursuit of military merits, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a love for him.

He had never tried to fail, but suddenly suffered an unprecedented defeat in the face, which made him extremely angry and directly demoted Zhang Qiu Jianqiong to a civilian, and the generals of the Southern Expedition were also demoted one by one.

In this angry manner, he accused the censors in the court and learned that the prestige of the Tang Dynasty was seriously damaged.

That feeling of frustration made Li Longji feel quite angry and embarrassed, and even moved his thoughts that he shouldn't have moved.

"Damn the damn farmer, it's not my stupid thing. How can I blame me for the sake of the court? I also concealed this matter and talked about it with me. I really think that I have never read a book for the sake of the court."

"Heaven, Earth, the king, the relatives and teachers! If the king and the minister are like fathers and sons, there are people who talk to their father like this!"

After thinking about it, Li Longji suddenly "snatched" and said, "I don't have such an old son."

After venting this, Li Longji's anger disappeared a lot.

Gao Lishi, who was deaf, also stood up at the right time and said, "Your Majesty calms down and don't get angry at your body for the sake of some pedantic literati."

Li Longji now pays great attention to health preservation and nods, saying, "What he said is reasonable, it is not worth it for a few fools."

After a pause, he sighed again and said, "If I had known that Qiu Jianqiong was so incompetent, I should have listened to Jingyuan at the beginning, and I would not have suffered such a big defeat. This southern expedition, only Xian Yu Zhongtong and Wang Kezhao had excellent results, and the others were simply stupid pigs."

When Pei said this, Li Longji suddenly felt shocked and asked, "When will Jingyuan enter Beijing? All the civil and military officials in the court have different opinions, and none of them speak pertinently. We have to discuss this foreign matter with Jingyuan."

After this great defeat in the Southern Expedition, Li Longji suddenly realized that in military terms, Pei's opinion was still practical.

Gao Lishi knew this kind of trivial matters well and said without hesitation: "Just I don't know when it will come today."

Li Longji said: "In this way, you arrange someone to wait outside the palace and wait for Jingyuan to arrive and invite him into the palace directly. I was so angry that I didn't sleep well these days and felt a little tired. Let's go and take a break, and wake me up when Jingyuan comes."

Gao Lishi bowed and said, "Let me go and greet him in person."

"Okay!" Li Longji did not refuse and went directly to the inner room.

Gao Lishi was waiting outside the palace.

Now Gao Lishi is worth a hundred times more valuable. As Li Longji's most trusted confidant, no civil and military in the court dares to offend him. Even the noble princes would respectfully respect him and respectfully call him "Aweng". As for the lower-level prince consorts, they directly called him "Gaoye".

Now that Gao Lishi is waiting outside the palace, all the officials passing by are surprised. When they come forward to ask for reminiscence, they are full of hesitation, thinking who is who can get a person like Gao Lishi to wait outside the palace?

Could it be King Ning Li Xian?

It seems that there is no one else except King Ning.

However, King Ning has a special identity, so he himself also pays attention to keeping a low profile and will never enter the palace unless summoned.

It would not be possible to let Gao Lishi greet him outside the palace.

It was not until half an hour later that Pei's appearance solved this confusion.

It turned out that the famous Duke Pei Guozhe has entered Beijing...

The news spread and the results were immediately effective. Chang'an's uneasiness almost subsided: With Duke Pei here, Nanzhao, what's the point!

"Eunuch Gao!"

Pei also knew the trends of Gyeonggi and knew that Gao Lishi's power was getting stronger, but he had a good relationship with Gao Lishi and still called out as before.

"Duke Pei!"

Gao Lishi smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

Pei greeted, "The eunuch is too polite, why do you need to greet him in person!"

Gao Lishi said: "I haven't seen you for many years, how can you not come? Please, Your Majesty has been waiting for the Duke for a long time."

Enter the palace all the way.

Gao Lishi continued to reveal some things about Li Longji, saying: "Your Majesty was very troubled by the defeat of Nanzhao. He had never had a peaceful sleep these days. If the Duke of the State can solve his problems, he would be very grateful."

Pei nodded and said, "As a minister, it is my duty to solve the problems of the king, and I have no choice but to do so."

Come to the South Xun Hall of Xingqing Palace.

Before I could enter the hall, I had heard the pleasant sound of pipa coming from the hall.

Gao Lishi knew that it was Li Longji playing and said, "Your Majesty has woken up, the Duke of the Kingdom of China wait for a moment."

Gao Lishi stepped into the hall before he reported it, and before he could report it, Li Longji had already spoken first: "Jiang Jingyuan is invited in, there is no need to be so troublesome."

After entering the hall, Pei bowed to Li Longji and said hello.

Li Longji looked up and down at Pei and sighed: "I haven't seen him for many years, Jingyuan's style and temperament are becoming more and more extraordinary, and he is almost catching up with me."

Very shameless.
