"When one day we knock down the big tree of the Yuwen family, and then deal with these minions of theirs, huh, we will make it impossible for them to survive or die!" Shangguan Taiqing snorted coldly, with a murderous tone in his tone.

Full of meaning.

Shangguan Wanrong nodded and did not dwell too much on this topic. She frowned and said, "As for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, if the Yuwen family is defeated, do they really want to hand over the Ministry of War to the Zhao family? The Zhao family already holds a

If you already have the Ministry of Personnel, and then give it to the Ministry of War, wouldn’t it be too much power?”

The Queen Mother remembered the agreement she had made with the Zhao family, that the Ministry of War would be returned to the Zhao family, and the Southern Frontier Road would be returned to Shangguan, and the two parties would join forces to fight against the Yuwen family. But at this time, the Queen Mother could not bear to part with it.

A big family that controls two departments with real power, isn’t that the Yuwen family?

"How can it be."

Shangguan Taiqing smiled slightly: "It's better to keep the Ministry of War in our hands. As for the Zhao family, haha, I will find a way to solve it when the time comes, so they can stop dreaming about the Ministry of War."

The Queen Mother felt relieved, and then the topic turned to the war in the north: "I think the war in the north is more difficult than in the mainland. The Yan army, with millions of troops, invaded the border with great momentum. The Ai family heard that at the end of last year, Beiliang had eaten

The battle was defeated, many people died, and the Chang family of Pinghan Road also engaged the Yan army.

Brother, if Northern Xinjiang cannot withstand the Yan army's offensive, our country will really be in danger of being destroyed."

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, the rebels were a nuisance, and the barbarians outside the pass were even more terrifying. Although they had never seen them, all dynasties had suffered from border troubles. The barbarian's saber didn't care whether you were an emperor or a commoner. Anyway, stick your head out.

It's just a knife to shrink the head.

"Alas~"

Speaking of the war in Northern Xinjiang, Shangguan Taiqing also sighed: "We really have no way to do anything about this matter. If even Chenyue can't stop the barbarians, how many generals in the court can be sent to the front line?

The 300,000 Liang troops are the most elite fighting force of our dynasty. If they are defeated, even if we send all our strength to the north, it will be difficult to stop the barbarians."

Although the Shangguan family is now wary of this King of Liang, it is undeniable that they quite recognize the combat power of the Liang army.

"What about the fifth one? How about sending the fifth one?" Shangguan Wanrong asked.

"no."

Shangguan Taiqing shook his head without hesitation: "Fifth Xinrou is a big killer. When Yuwen Chenghua's army is defeated, I will still rely on him to lead the troops to put down the rebellion. This is our trump card."

"Okay~" Shangguan Wanrong nodded helplessly.

Shangguan Taiqing put his hands behind his hands and looked at the beautiful scenery of the buildings and murmured: "Our battle with the Yuwen family will officially begin from this court meeting!"

The Queen Mother remained silent. If she won, all power would belong to the emperor, and everything would be fine. If she lost, the court would be in chaos. She didn't dare to think about it any more.

…

After leaving the palace, Shangguan Taiqing got into his gorgeous car and drove slowly towards the Shangshu Mansion.

There were seven or eight guards with swords on the driving side of the car. One of them was a familiar face, Ji Laosan, who ambushed the convoy in Jiangnan and was later taken under Shangguan Taiqing's command.

At this time, Ji Laosan has completely surrendered to Shangguan Taiqing's disciples. Little did he know that the guy he intercepted on the way turned out to be the uncle of the current dynasty. Now that he has become the uncle of the country, he will be prosperous and wealthy in the future.

Isn’t it within easy reach?

This is no better than being a refugee rebel in the mountains. You don't have to worry about whether you're full or not, and you don't have to worry about losing your head one day.

"Ji San, are you still used to staying in the capital?"

Shangguan Taiqing's quiet voice came from the carriage. For a ruthless person like Ji Laosan who licked blood from the edge of his knife, he was in urgent need of it. He had to have some basic strength to defend himself, right?

In case there is a fight with the Yuwen family in the future, this kind of person can be of great use.

"Thank you for your concern, Sir, I'm used to it!"

Ji Laosan shouted in a deep voice beside the carriage.

Shangguan Taiqing said softly and then stopped talking. At this moment, Ji Laosan didn't know how much trouble he would be involved in in the future.

…

After the court ended, Fu Longzhi and Cao Minxue didn't even return to their own residences, but went straight to the Taifu's residence.

In Yuwen Mansion, the old lady Fu Yuwen Hongru was feeding the birds in the courtyard. He was in high spirits and it didn't look like he was ill. He probably just didn't want to go to court. A group of birds were chirping happily.

Fu Longzhi stood behind Yuwen Hongru and kept describing what happened in the court today, with worries in his eyes. In his opinion, this was the Shangguan family's attempt to take action against the military power of the Yuwen family, and this impeachment was an attack.

horn.

"Got it~"

After listening, Yuwen Hongru just nodded lightly without any expression.

Fu Longzhi and Cao Minxue were stunned, why did the Taifu's reaction be so dull?

Cao Minxue bowed and said: "Master, this matter is not trivial. Should we make preparations earlier?"

"Why, are you scared?" Yu Wen Hongru chuckled without looking back.

Fu Longzhi and Fu Longzhi trembled involuntarily. Although Yu Wen Hongru was old, the prestige he had established over a long period of time still made them shudder.

Fu Longzhi clasped his fists without hesitation and said: "Teacher, thanks to your guidance many years ago, I was able to enter the officialdom of the capital. After I became an official in the capital, you spared no effort to promote me. Without the teacher, I would not be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance today.

No matter what happens, students will stand unswervingly behind their teachers. Students are by no means ungrateful!"

It turned out that the Minister of Household Affairs, who was in charge of the country's money, grain and taxation, was actually a student of Yuwen Hongru. Not many people in the official circles of the capital knew about this relationship.

Cao Minxue also immediately stood up to express his loyalty: "Without the Grand Tutor, I would still be a small official in the Ministry of Rites, and would never get ahead. I will follow the Grand Tutor to the death!"

"Not bad, not bad, you two are interested."

Yu Wen Hongru finally turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry about such a trivial matter. If the Shangguan family jumps up and bites people, just let them go. I have my own plans in mind. You just have to do your own thing well."

At this time, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the old master had known about this matter for a long time. No wonder he had been able to stand in the officialdom for many years. Such knowledge and determination were beyond their reach.

"Stand back. If there is any other action from the Shangguan family, report to me at any time." Yu Wen Hongru waved casually, and the two first-class officials were as obedient as retainers in front of him.

"promise!"

"Here, eat some more~"

Yu Wen Hongru, who was alone, began to feed the birds again. Watching the colorful birds jumping up and down, Yu Wen Hongru murmured softly:

"Fight with me? You think you can trip up my Yuwen family, but you don't know that even this caged bird is freer than you, haha~"
