Shang Shuzuo was already a second-prime minister, and he had a pivotal position in Shangshu Province, how did Wei Ji go from a frustrated middle-level official in officialdom to a hot officialdom celebrity? A series of inexplicable changes made Du Fu have too much incredible and unbelievable in his heart.

However, there were many of these incomprehensible wonders, but Du Fu was no longer entangled in the reasons behind them, and his attention quickly turned to what he could do as an official to live up to his original intention. Whether it is someone behind this operation, or his own good fortune, the most important thing now is that he has fulfilled a long-cherished wish that has been difficult to achieve for ten years, so he cannot waste such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, although the rank of the officials in Shangshu Province is not low, in Chang'an City, where there are many officials, it is also like a drop in the ocean, and it is not easy for Du Fu to make a difference. First of all, there is a squire monk on his head, and then there are a cadre of Shangshu Province above him, and even the entire Shangshu Province still has the planning of the political affairs hall.

In other words, there is not much room left for him to play freely, and the so-called official has to make a difference, and he can only do the errands assigned by the above in many rules and regulations. However, although the current imperial court is full of internal and external crises, the overall atmosphere is superficial.

In the public office of Nuoda, there are really very few people who are willing to bury their heads in the office, and after only sitting in the official department for three days, Du Fu felt depressed and breathless, and he did not lie to his colleagues in the office. Although he has good intentions, in the eyes of those old fritters in officialdom, it has become an offense.

Just because the whole province of Shangshu was spreading wildly, Du Fu was able to jump from Cao to the army of the Wei Mansion to the Ministry of Officials, thanks to the help of Prime Minister Wei Fangjin. In other words, Wei Fangjin is likely to be Du Fu's backstage in the ministry, because although the officials regard Du Fu as a category, no one dares to openly embarrass him

"I heard that Du Zimei has only been in the Ministry for three days, and he has already fallen into the reputation of ten thousand people to hide, I don't know what Zhonglang will take a fancy to him? ”

Qin Jin is very low-key, and rarely shows his head in the political hall, but today he had to come on official business. Only this time, it is inevitable to say a few more words with the prime minister, especially Wei Fangjin, who is a servant of the door. Although the old guy is the prime minister, he never takes a stand in front of Qin Jin.

Don't look at Qin Jin as just a Zhonglang general from the fourth grade, but he simply overthrew Yang Guozhong, who was in the middle of the day and intimidated the government and the opposition, so that the prime ministers who had recently entered the political hall were quite jealous of him, and Wei Fangjin was naturally no exception. What's more, he received a heavy gift from Qin Jin, and as the so-called short-handed person, he had to be polite to him.

Wei Fangjin couldn't understand why Qin Jin took a fancy to this person because of the stinky and hard-tempered people like Du Fu who had gone to Chang'an City?

Qin Jin didn't know how to answer for a while, after all, his initial intention was just to change the tragic situation of Du Fu's failure to seek official positions and his despondent death. Now that Wei Fangjin has asked, Qin Jin will also have to examine himself, it is true that Du Fu is a famous radio poet in later generations, and he has a reputation as a poet. However, composing poetry and governing must be two different things, for example, the treacherous minister Li Linfu, who does not learn or know, but has a very strong ability to govern, while Du Fu has only been good at writing poetry so far, so what about his ability? Can he take on his current official position and further responsibilities?

These are all unknowns, after the initial impulse, and now after Wei Fangjin's reminder, Qin Jin felt the need to put him in a suitable position and test him, just like a fire test, a mule or a horse came out to slip away.

Soon, Qin Jin had an idea, and after he finished handing over his official business in the political hall, he went to meet the prince who was also in the political hall. Li Longji finally changed his previous style, not only letting the crown prince Li Heng and Wen Jun state affairs, but also letting him be in charge of some envoys who had nothing to do with military affairs.

For example, now Qin Jin's envoy to the quasi-prince is completely within the scope of the prince Li Heng.

When Qin Jin appeared in the court where the crown prince Li Heng was, the crown prince Li Heng was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and there was even a trace of fear in his eyes. Of course, this may be due to the fact that he has been repeatedly suppressed and suspicious by the Son of Heaven for many years, but whenever a minister in charge of the army is close to him, he will be like sitting on pins and needles, for fear that one will accidentally harm others and himself.

But after all, Li Heng has been a prince for more than ten years, and he quickly calmed down, looking at Qin Jin without blinking, looking at this young man he was very optimistic about.

"Minister Qin Jin pays a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Qin Jin meticulously did enough courtesy, and then got up and sat down at Li Heng's invitation.

"The minister came here this time, and there is a plan for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to approve it. ”

Li Heng felt strange in his heart, the scope of his qualifications to be able to give instructions was very narrow, and they were all inconsequential aspects. And Qin Jin is the general who leads the troops, and what he handles is also closely related to the important affairs of the military state, and he is also very curious about what is it that he asked for instructions now.

However, Li Heng was calm, and his career as a prince over the years had trained him to the point that he would not show his true heart in front of others.

Qin Jin couldn't let Li Heng guess for long, and after a simple greeting, he went straight to the point.

After listening to Qin Jin's concise and concise narration, Li Heng was both stunned and puzzled.

"Dig a hole?

Qin Jin Zhengse replied:

"Exactly!"

"Can you give me a reason?"

Qin Jin only said four words.

"Just in case!"

Hearing this, Li Heng's color suddenly changed, and even the hands in his robe were not easy to notice. Could it be that in Qin Jin's opinion, it seems that Chang'an City is about to be destroyed. However, he still held back his strong curiosity and still responded indifferently to this.

"This reason can't convince me, let alone a saint?"

In front of the ministers, Li Heng, like everyone else, is a saint with an open mouth and a closed mouth.

How could Qin Jin not see that the crown prince Li Heng was pretending to be garlic, but he didn't expose it, but told what he thought and discussed.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has this question, the minister will no longer shy away from it, but in all wars, he does not think about victory and defeat, the Tongguan defense line seems to be impeccable, but the thief rebels are not easy to deal with, in case Brother Shu has a mistake, there must always be a plan. ”

Li Heng was silent, but his heart was even more shaken. Qin Jin continued: "Chang'an's hundred-year savings, how can they be transferred overnight? ”

"Shut up, how can you say such a reason to the saint?

Li Heng was a little out of shape, and hurriedly drank Qin Jin's words. However, he also agreed with this statement in his heart, so he could only let Qin Jin say it for another reason.

Qin Jin smiled bitterly and said: "The truth is this truth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it tactfully, and the saint will understand." ”

It seemed that even a wry smile in the hall would be contagious, Li Heng also followed with a wry smile, and then laughed again, pointing at Qin Jin and saying, "Okay, you Qin Jin, you have left all the problems to me." ”

Qin Jin made a helpless expression.

"It is counterproductive to advise the Son of Heaven in such a way as a minister, status and position. Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most suitable!"

Qin Jin's concerns are not wrong, even if the Son of Heaven suppresses and excludes the crown prince, the prince is still the prince, and he is the best candidate for the Son of Heaven to inherit the country after a hundred years. Therefore, only if the prince puts himself in the shoes of the Son of Heaven and plots for the Li family, the Son of Heaven will wake up.

In the face of Li Heng's hesitation, Qin Jin continued to encourage and persecute him.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, time is running out now, seeing that summer is coming, the war will definitely enter the white heat in the last autumn, and then everything may be settled, but it is too late to regret it. ”

"Late, late?"

Although Li Heng agreed with Qin Jin's suggestion, he still couldn't believe that such a brilliant and prosperous era would have a day when it would completely collapse.

"Is that really the point?"

In Li Heng's view, although Datang is full of internal and external troubles and crises, it should be far from the point of exhaustion. And what Qin Jin has to do today is to break this dream bubble and completely wake up Li Heng from the illusion of indulging in the aftermath of the prosperous world.

Qin Jin This is not unfounded, although the current situation is completely different from the original historical process, but the most basic point has not changed in the slightest. That is, the Son of Heaven is old and faint, and he is different from the party that is intriguing with the court.

Yang Guozhong, Ge Shuhan, Wei Jiansu, Wei Fangjin, Gao Lishi, Bian Lingcheng and so on, which of these people is a fuel-efficient lamp?

Especially Yang Guozhong and Ge Shuhan, as long as the Son of Heaven does not make up his mind to drive Yang Guozhong out of Chang'an City, the world of Chang'an and even the Tang Dynasty will not be peaceful for a day. Moreover, even without Yang Guozhong, the struggle in the court and the party have never ended.

The question then arises, who is to blame for the situation in which the court is fighting? There is no doubt that it should be the Son of Heaven.

It was Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, who single-handedly caused this situation. As a Taiping emperor who has been in the world for more than 40 years, he is well versed in the way of the Son of Heaven, and if he wants the throne to be stable for a long time, the best way is to balance it.

Let one force contain the other, and the Son of Heaven himself can sit on the side and watch the tiger fight.

For example, Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong are all deliberately made by the Son of Heaven in order to restrict the development of the prince's power. In fact, these two traitors did not have Li Longji's trust and reuse, and they spared no effort to suppress the power of the crown prince.
