Under the sunlight, the world's largest palace city faced south like a golden giant overlooking the entire Chang 'an City!
Such an architectural layout symbolized the supremacy of imperial power.
The emperor's throne was located in the center of the palace, Taiji Palace!
Li Shimin, who was now 34 years old, was wearing a black dragon robe and a nine-curtain flowing crown. He sat on the dragon throne.
Liu Mian's nine curtains symbolized nine dragons, which meant that he had nine dragons to protect his body and was the legitimate Son of Heaven.
However, this position of the Son of Heaven was snatched.
The dragon-patterned beam above the dragon throne that spanned the entire hall was also not perfect.
Coincidentally, the spot above his head was where the dragon pattern beam, the dragon's reverse scale, was.
Just three years ago, his reverse scale was 'plucked' by someone else, and he wrote an anti-poem that was full of threats and wanted to replace it.
At that time, Li Shiming really wanted to change the dragon beam!
However, the ministers were not allowed to change it no matter what. They felt that it was not a good sign to change the pillars at will.
One had to know that the large-scale construction of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was not about a hundred-year plan, but a thousand-year plan.
They believed that the dragon-patterned beam would not be damaged for no reason!
If it was damaged for no reason, it must mean something!
After all, there was a precedent!
This dragon pattern beam had only been changed once since Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, ordered people to build the palace.
On the night before the Tang army attacked Chang 'an, cracks appeared on the dragon-patterned beam for no reason!
Therefore, the position of the poem that had given Li Shimin nightmares for a long time was filled with clay and re-carved with the dragon's reverse scale.
However, no matter how much he tried to cover it up, the poem was still there.
Now, Li Shiming had developed a habit.
As she spoke, she raised her head slightly to take a look!
In these three years, the officials seemed to have forgotten, or perhaps they had chosen to forget.
However, Li Shi Min never forgot.
In the eyes of the officials!
Li Shi Min raised his head slightly and sat up straight after taking a glance.
It was as if he was unsure of something and felt uneasy.
Now, he was at ease!
Pa!
Li Shimin slapped the table and said,"A mere Tuyuhun actually dares to come to see me with two banners and two sections.”
"He even said some threatening words."
"If you don't marry the princess and don't give them food, they will fight, right?”
"Come on!"
"This one isn't afraid. Do you really think that this one hasn't recovered the strength of the country after destroying the Eastern Turks?”
"You must know that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.”
"I want to gather all the troops and gather in Shanzhou to attack Tuyuhun!”
At this moment, Li Jing, the first of the generals on the left, walked out with a jade board.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to take command and destroy Tuyuhun."”
Li Shi Min looked at the sixty-year-old War God and nodded in satisfaction.
"My beloved minister is already old, I can't bear to!”
On the right side of the hall, Zhangsun Wuji smiled faintly. He had been waiting for this sentence.
If he couldn't bear it, then there was no need for Li Jing to fight!
He had a way to make the Great Tang send fewer troops and win a great battle.
It could even be said that he had picked up a great victory for nothing!
Not only that, but it could also weaken the troops of Jiannan Dao!
Zhangsun Wuji and the others had long been dissatisfied with Jiannan Dao, especially the descendant of Meng Huo, Governor Meng Gang.
He believed that Meng Gang relied on his background as a chieftain to make Jiannan Dao listen to the tune but not the announcement.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who thought so!
The actions of Meng Gang, the Governor of Southern Jiannan Dao, were exactly like this.
The annual taxes would be paid, and wherever they went, according to the regulations, they would send out as many soldiers as needed. In any case, there would not be any more.
Other matters were basically not reported.
Zhangsun Wuji wanted to investigate the actual situation, so he sent a deposed envoy to inspect.
In the end, it wasn't an inspection at all. He was simply escorted out politely and chased out after a tour.
He couldn't see anything!
However, everyone knew that Southern Azuresword had a very strong military force.
Just three years ago, not long after Lin Hao returned to his hometown, Meng Gang took the initiative to submit a memorial.
The content was: " The defense line in the southwest of Jiannan Road is too long. It borders the six tribes of Nanman, Tubo, and Tuyuhun. There are conflicts from time to time. The original 100,000 soldiers were not enough to deal with them, so he needed to recruit another 100,000 soldiers.”
At that time, Li Shiming and the Bureau of Military Personnel had discussed the matter and agreed to it.
However, not long after they agreed, their attitude changed after they had 200,000 soldiers.
It was also a year later, which was two years ago, when Meng Gang's memorial to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs reached Zhangsun Wuji's hands. Zhangsun Wuji then found out what was going on.
The contents of the memorial were: " After the Jinshi Lin Hao landed, he became an aide to this Governor and held the position of Secretary. It could be said that he was dutiful and his performance was excellent.”
"Thus, I hereby appoint him as the seventh grade county magistrate of Guan County, officially becoming an official of the Imperial Court.”
"Now, from the second rank Yizhou Governor, the auxiliary general Meng Gang, to inform the third rank Minister of Personnel, Zhangsun Wuji!”
At that time, Zhangsun Wuji was so angry that he almost tore the memorial!
With his fox brain, he understood everything the moment he saw the incisive and commanding tone of the memorial.
At that moment, he understood that the vicious words Lin Hao had said to them that day, as well as the anti-poem he had written on the Emperor's head, were not words spoken out of anger or a joke.
He really wanted to do it!
After he returned to his hometown, he became an aide to the Governor. He was the eldest of the aides and the second-in-command secretary of the Governor's Office.
At that time, he understood that everything was Lin Hao's idea.
In order to prevent the line from being too long, they had to report to the court and double the number of troops they had to recruit. They had enough troops and confidence, but now they ignored the Imperial Court.
What was this?
This was developing behind closed doors and plotting a rebellion!
Although Zhangsun Wuji liked power, he only wanted to be above everyone else.
He had to stop all of this and stop Lin Hao from rebelling. In other words, he had to stop the day when he knelt down to Lin Hao in front of everyone in the meeting hall of his house!
If that day really came and he had to suffer such humiliation, it would be better to kill him!
However, he could only register Lin Hao as an official of the imperial court!
Firstly, according to the rules, the Great Calendar of the Boundaries had the right to appoint local officials.
He wrote it clearly, not in a negotiating tone, but in the tone of a second-grade official informing a third-grade official to do something.
The second was Zhangsun Wuji, Lu Shou, and Cui Min. Although they had seen the anti-poem and remembered Lin Hao's terrifying skills, they knew that it was Lin Hao's doing, but they did not dare to say it.
Their skills were too terrifying. They were afraid that they would be killed before they could kill them!
Or, they would tell the world about their scandal before killing them!
They could only think of a way to stop Lin Hao and Meng Gang without telling Li Shiming the truth.
He would wait for an opportunity to find another way to kill them!
Of course, other than the three of them, no one knew that the change in Jian Nandao's attitude was Lin Hao's idea.
It could also be said that almost no one knew about Lin Hao!
After all, Meng Gang was the one handling the matter with the imperial court!
Everyone only thought that Meng Gang, the chieftain, wanted to be the local emperor!
Zhangsun Wuji, Lu Shou, and Cui Min looked at each other and nodded, reaching a tacit understanding.
Zhangsun Wuji immediately stood up and hugged the jade board.""Your Majesty!"
"I have something to report!"
