The weather is still hot.

Willows swaying by the Wei River, Changsun Wuji was wearing a white long robe under the shade of the tree. He showed his face and breasts. He only had a dark green jade belt tied around his waist. His hair casually tied a bun and a wooden hairpin was inserted.

His outfit was quite a bit like a celebrity in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but it also revealed a low-key luxury. After all, a jade belt around his waist would probably be worth hundreds of cents. The cloth clothes on his body were more expensive than silk, but there was only a piece of wood on his head.

The large black breast hair on Changsun Wuji's chest was eye-catching, making him look more like a martial artist, with a fat body and a round waist like a butcher. It is really impossible to tell that he was an old and important official who served as the prime minister of the Tang Empire for decades.

"I thought you boy ran away like that. I still knew that you were coming to say goodbye to me today?"

"Duke Zhao was joking. The boy must have come to say goodbye before leaving Beijing."

Li Xiao spoke very carefully and politely, and there was no way to be careful. Changsun Wuji called him here, but he thought that Changsun was there, but when he came, he found that a large group of veterans gathered here.

Changsun Wuji was showing a large ball of black-breasted hair here, next to it was Chu Suiliang, Han Yuan with a shirtless hair, Yu Zhining in a Confucian shirt, Lai Ji who was soaking in the water with naked fruit, and Cui Dunli in a purple robe.

Among this group of people, except Gao Luxing, all others have been prime ministers or current prime ministers, and they are all veterans and important officials.

This is obviously the gathering of the main incense halls of the Guanlong Gang.

Li Xiao was sweating slightly on his head. Have these people gathered here and reported to the headmaster Li Zhi? Is it an illegal gathering?

Han Yuan slapped Li Xiao on the shoulder, "You guy's eyes are just a grandson and an old man, so I, Han, aren't me?"

Li Xiao said he didn't dare.

"That's it that I, Mr. Choi?" Cui Dunli said with his eyes squint.

Isn't this arguing?

But then again, Li Xiao was curious about what Cui Dunli was doing here. This was originally a fishing activity for a group of retired cadres. Why did you, the current prime minister, come over?

After thinking about it, I seemed to understand something again.

Cui Dunli was the head of the Boling Cui, and he was the representative of the old aristocratic clans of the five surnames and seven families. Originally, he did not urinate in the same pot with the Guanlong sect. In the past, Shandong aristocratic clans and Guanlong nobles disliked each other. However, under the leadership of the hall leader Liu Shi, everyone got together for a common goal.

The goal is to protect Prince Li Zhong.

Later, Liu Shi died of illness. Before his death, he specifically told Changsun Lao Pian to unite the Shandong gentry, especially the five surnames and seven families. Therefore, Cui Dunli later became the prime minister.

To put it bluntly, Cui Dunli was the Standing Committee of Liu Shi who replaced Liu Shi. He represented the interests of Shandong gentry, but at the same time, the Guanlong Gang promoted him and pulled him in.

At that time, Emperor Li Zhi also called Cui Dunli the prime minister in order to balance the interests of the major gangs.

Now almost all the Guanlong Gangs have been cleared out of the court, and Li Daozong replaced Changsun Wuji, but it also represents another group of people from the Guanlong Gangs.

Cui Dunli used to think that Li Xiao was okay, but now he hates Li Xiao deeply.

"You kid only has Uncle Changsun, Uncle Han, Uncle Chu, I, Mr. Cui, you haven't even looked at me directly. Are you kid looking down on others? Or are you the only martial artists except Changsun and others in your eyes? "

"Mr. Cui, you'll be ashamed to be a subordinate." Li Xiao was not polite to Cui Dunli. It doesn't matter if he called Uncle Changsun Wuji, but he wouldn't call Uncle Cui Dunli.

Some people are destined to be friends, so they are too lazy to do useless social interactions.

Changsun Wuji laughed, "Don't pay attention to the auspiciousness, Cui Pifu, you are from Guanlong, don't pay attention to them from Shandong."

Cui Dunli was speechless.

Li Xiao couldn't help laughing, saying that he had always been labeled as the Guanlong Sect, but he had a good relationship with the Shandong Juntou Gang in the past. Anyway, he had a bad relationship with the Shandong Aristocratic Gang.

In fact, to be honest, there are only two major factions in the court now, one is the Guanlong faction and the other is the Shandong Gang. The Guanlong faction has two civil and military factions, and the Shandong Gang also has two civil and military factions.

The literary system in the Guanlong sect was naturally led by Changsun Wuji. Although Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and others did not completely belong to the Guanlong nobles before, they still became the helmsman of the Guanlong Changsun Wuji. The martial system of the Guanlong sect was naturally led by Li Daozong and Xue Wanche. During the Zhenguan period, this sect also had famous Guanlong generals such as Li Jing and Li Xiaogong, as well as Chai Shao, Duan Zhixuan, Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji, Qu Tutong and other famous generals were all from the martial system.

Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian during the Zhenguan period were from the literary department.

There are small hills in the big hills, which has been inevitable throughout the ages. Even if it is really necessary to be subdivided, there are still many small hills in the two sects of civil and military affairs.

However, the civil and military factions are more obvious mountain divisions in any big mountain.

Just like in the Shandong Gang, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others were from the literary school, while Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others were from the martial school. If we subdivided it, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others were from the Shandong military meritorious school, and Shandong's five surnames and seven families represented by the Shan Lao School, and Wei Zheng and others belonged to the Shandong Gang's new literary school.

The Tang Dynasty was established for decades, especially after destroying the Eastern Turks during the Zhenguan period, it was already in a state of being invincible with swords. One of the major consequences of the prosperity of national strength was the rise of the power of civil officials.

As the saying goes, everything will turn back when extremes are extremes. The generals are invincible in the world. So at this time, the literati began to propose to slaughter the martial arts and cultivate literature. There is no place for martial arts in the world. The status of the generals is naturally beginning to decline.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the military generals charged forward, which was awesome, but now it has become the time for civil officials to be active.

Although Changsun Wuji and Cui Dunli belonged to the Guanlong Sect and the Shandong Sect, they were all civil officials, and they were also allies to form alliances.

In Changsun's words, Li Xiao belongs to them.

Changsun said that Li Xiao was from the civil officials and was from their Guanlong Gang.

Li Xiao didn't expect that he was actually a civil servant. He thought he would be named a craftsman or a villain by them.

"Don't think about it, kid. I'll call you here today, there's no other meaning. I know you're going to Baekje, so I'll call you to say apart. In addition, you were so angry that you used to be Mr. Cui and Mr. Lai. I don't care about the right or wrong in the court, but in private, you have to apologize to them."

It doesn't matter to Li Xiao. If he doesn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, he will be clear about public and private affairs. It's nothing to apologize. If he can relieve the relationship, he is willing to, but he is actually not willing to make enemies everywhere.

"There is another thing. Our Majesty issued the bond before. We bought it. The imperial court used the land in Baekje as a mortgage. Our families have a lot of land there. Now you have to take office, and you will have to take care of it in the future."

Changsun Wuji told Li Xiao that this time, the old cadres would send some managers to Baekje to take over the fields and want to operate them there, so they walked with Li Xiao and asked Li Xiao to take care of them in the future.

"Thank you, Uncle Changsun." Uncle Li Xiao's words were very sincere. He knew that this was actually a gift from Changsun. It was really long and single to go to Baekje. It was not easy to be the governor. Now Changsun and his friends arranged for people to develop Baekje together, which was to help him Li Xiao.

This is equivalent to attracting investment.

What a big gift, Li Xiao accepted it with a smile.
