Chapter 1339
The next day.

Du He invited Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and other important court officials to witness, and formally signed an agreement with the six major families in the Guancheng brigade camp.

When the agreement came into effect, everyone knew that Dream Group had become Datang's giant.

And the six major families were completely lonely.

At that time, Fang Yi'ai, as the representative of Invincible Bank, took over the agreement of the six major families, which attracted the attention of all the people and was extremely dazzling.

In the crowd, Fang Xuanling looked at Fang Yiai's confident and calm appearance, suddenly wiped away tears, and choked up, "Good boy, I've grown up..."

When the crowd dispersed, Fang Xuanling called Fang Yiai to stop, and said, "Yiai, if you're not busy, go home for a few days, your mother made your favorite pastry."

Fang Yiai was taken aback for a moment, then realized that it was her father who forgave her.

He was overjoyed and nodded: "Father, I'll go back tonight after I've dealt with the matter at hand."

"well……"

A smile of chrysanthemum petals bloomed on Fang Xuanling's face.

Next to him, Wei Zheng said: "Lord Fang, His Majesty mentioned the name of Yiai many times yesterday. This time, he was able to properly handle this matter. Du He contributed a lot. Promotion and title are definitely inevitable, but Yiai has also made great contributions. Your Majesty is very grateful." Looking at it, thinking about it, Yi Ai will soon be able to enter the court and become an official."

Fang Xuanling waved his hand: "It's not important to be an official or not. The important thing is that my son has grown up. He knows what he wants to do and what he likes to do."

Wei Zheng: "..."

Congratulations to Fang Xuanling for becoming the acting king of a generation.

……

ten days later.

Tai Chi Temple.

Hundreds of officials gathered, and the early morning began.

Li Erdang announced his opinions on the handling of the Tiandi Bank.

Changsun Wuji was deposed from the position of Sikong and fined one year's salary.

Chen Shuda, Li Daozong, and Gao Shilian were demoted to one level and fined one year's salary.The Wang family of Taiyuan and the Zheng family of Xingyang were ordered to cut off any business dealings with the imperial court.

Then it was Du He's meritorious service in handling this matter. He was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, and concurrently served as a doctor of the Ministry of War, and was granted the title of Marquis of Huyi.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs set up a mint department again, with Fang Yiai in charge of it, leading the promotion of renminbi.

In the end, Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji and asked, "Auxiliary machine, do you have any ideas on what I should do?"

Changsun Wuji stood in front with gray hair and a lonely look. He was ten years older than before. He stood up and shook his head: "Your Majesty has dealt with it properly, and I have nothing to say. I was fascinated by ghosts for a while, and led the six major families to establish the world. Qian Zhuang almost caused a catastrophe, which is a felony, thanks to His Majesty's great kindness, I am grateful for not severely punishing my minister, but... I have one more thing, please Your Majesty to fulfill it."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Changsun Wuji said tearfully: "The accident at Tiandi Bank this time was caused by the daring Tubo man Bu Huitongzan forging the emperor's coin. Now, more than 800 million Kaiyuan Tongbao have been transported to the Western Regions. Great Tang's disgrace, I ask Your Majesty to send an army to pacify Tubo in one fell swoop, and bring Tubo into the territory of Tang Dynasty, so that those foreigners who are laughing secretly can see the might of Tang..."

When Li Er heard this, he nodded: "I have been concerned about this matter for a long time, and I have already let people find out that this time the Tubo people cheated Kaiyuan Tongbao, not for money, but to trigger civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tubo good fisherman will benefit. Songtsan Gampo is really good at scheming, if Du He hadn't been in charge, I'm afraid he would have succeeded... Now that this matter is over, it's time to settle accounts with Tubo. My Tang Dynasty has been at war with Tubo for many years. The people are resting and recuperating, so let the two generals Li Jing and Cheng Zhijie not rush forward to solve the war in Tubo, now, it is time to wipe out Tubo in one fell swoop."

Before the words were finished, Ximen Qing rushed in at the door and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the battle report from the west."

West?

That is the battlefield with Tubo.

Li Er hastily asked someone to bring up the urgent report, looked at it, and then his face darkened, and said: "My dear friends, this urgent report was sent by two generals, Li Jing and Cheng Zhijie. Ruak rebelled and won the position of Zanpu. Tianzhu and Fat Kingdom in the south sent many troops to help Uluak. The two generals did not know the enemy's situation and suffered a defeat. Fortunately, the situation has stabilized now. The army is facing each other in Haoluwu City, and it is already very difficult to pacify Tubo in one fell swoop. The urgent report also said that the Tubo people have already started using gunpowder..."

gunpowder?

Everyone was stunned.

They all looked at Du He, the current servant of the Ministry of War.

Could it be the secret leaked by Du He?

Du He sneered and said: "Everyone, look at what I am doing. Gunpowder was made by alchemy Taoists. It existed during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. I just improved it. It has been nearly five years since gunpowder weapons appeared. When fighting with my Tang army, they also came into contact with gunpowder, so it’s no big deal for them to go back and research it by themselves..."

Then everyone suddenly nodded.

After Li Er sat down, he said, "I never thought that such a big change would happen in Tubo. Dear friends, tell me, how should we deal with it?"

Wang Gui said: "Your Majesty, today's Tubo is no longer what it used to be, and Uluak is not Songtsen Gampo. Besides, there are Tianzhu and Fat Kingdom behind us. Cease the war with Tubo, the two countries will be friendly, and we will make plans when our Tang treasury is full and the army is strong."

Wang Gui's meaning was very clear, that is, stop fighting.

Du He sneered and said, "Master Wang, isn't my Tang Dynasty strong and developed now? Just Uluak can make you stop the war. Those small countries in the Western Regions have seen it, and they haven't risen up to rebel."

"you……"

"Okay!" Li Er raised his hand and said, "Wang Aiqing, I think what Du He said makes sense... Tubo must fight, Du He obeys orders."

"what!"

Du He was taken aback.

Li Er had already said: "As Du He is the general who conquers the west, he dispatched [-] elite soldiers from the left and right guards, and rushed to Tubo immediately, leading Li Jing and Cheng Zhijie to pacify Tubo."

Du He opened his mouth wide, "Father, can I refuse?"

"No, I have decided on this matter."

Li Er didn't give Du He a chance to speak at all, and directly announced his resignation.

……

Afterwards.

Wei Zheng came over and said with a smile: "Nephew, Your Majesty really prefers you."

"Master Wei, what do you say?"

Wei Zheng laughed and said: "Your Majesty is preparing to train you as a chancellor... The prime minister of my Tang Dynasty must be both civil and military. You have made a lot of contributions, but you have never been on the battlefield. If you are allowed to be a prime minister in the future, some people will not accept it. Well now, Tubo is your chance to show off your ambitions."

Duhe scratched his head.

I, Cao, is there such a good thing?
To be prime minister, I'm only 20 years old, isn't it a bit early.

He shook his head: "My two wives are pregnant and will give birth at the end of the year. How can I be willing to leave now?"
