Chapter 400: The monarch and the minister are hateful

"Wei Xianggong and Yang have no intersection, why did you invite Yang to go with the car today?"

According to the practice of the imperial court, prime ministers are not allowed to make personal friends, and although Wei Fangjin tried his best to downplay this tendency so as not to fall into the mouth, Yang Guozhong was still aware of his intentions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wei Fangjin also seemed to have lost his former reserve at this time, and in the narrow carriage, he waved his sleeves and said:

"I am willing to make an exchange with Xianggong!"

"Oh, I want to hear about it!"

Yang Guozhong was also very surprised by Wei Fangjin's straightforwardness, he couldn't imagine that this old guy, who had always shown his face of swallowing water, actually had a monkey anxious side, or had he mistaken this person in the past? Wei Fangjin smiled:

"Wei can help the prime minister regain the position of the Zhongshu Order, how about it?"

After saying that, Wei Fangjin narrowed his eyes, stopped talking, and quietly waited for Yang Guozhong's reaction.

Originally, Yang Guozhong only thought that Wei Fangjin had something to ask for, but he never expected that he would say something amazing, and after being stunned for a while, he let out a burst of laughter.

"If Xianggong Wei has such ability, why don't he become the head of the prime minister himself?"

Obviously, Yang Guozhong did not believe Wei Fangjin's words, and in recent days, this person has repeatedly appeared in front of the Son of Heaven and has the momentum to replace him, so he has a strong sense of defense against him.

Wei Fangjin smiled as usual.

"Wei Mou is not half a lie, although the head of the prime minister is high and powerful, it is unbearable from a high place, Wei is still self-aware, it is difficult to withstand such a heavy pressure and cold!"

This sentence made Yang Guozhong suddenly have a little resonance, as Wei Fangjin said, although the head of the prime minister is above ten thousand people under one person, but it is also the target of Qianfu, but if someone wants to take the position, they will definitely aim at him. Yang Guozhong was in the position of the head of the prime minister, although he enjoyed supreme authority, but he was always on guard against people who coveted him, and he was ruthless when attacking such people, and he would inevitably take his life and destroy his family.

Now that I think about it, I feel that in those years, I was really in crisis all the time. But people are like this, after all, the power of the head of the prime minister is too great, and the temptation it brings has long exceeded the painful price that may be paid. Therefore, the officials were like moths to a fire, knowing that there were traps everywhere in the bright place ahead, but they still pounced on it regardless of it.

"Yang Xianggong, Yang Xianggong, I don't know what Wei's proposal is?"

Wei Fangjin's hurried cheers pulled Yang Guozhong back to reality from his distraction.

"What?"

Due to a brief loss of consciousness, Yang Guozhong did not hear Wei Fangjin's proposal clearly, so he asked again in a low voice. No matter how defensive he was, he had already believed Sancheng at this time.

"Wei has already proposed to the Son of Heaven to set up wartime camps in various provinces in front of the enemy, and he also asked the prime minister to help one or two. ”

Yang Guozhong asked rhetorically: "How can a saint agree to a wartime act?"

Although he is not a politician and a talent for governing the army, he is by no means a mediocre fool, and he can see the drawbacks at a glance.

With the Son of Heaven's cautiousness about power, how could he agree to such a suggestion? Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, how could the Son of Heaven have such trust in any of them? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Son of Heaven really has such a trusted person, who can guarantee that this person will not be the second An Lushan in the long run?

At the end of last year, Qin Jin once wrote to the Son of Heaven, sharply pointing out that the Tang Dynasty's control was chaotic, and ink and oblique seals abounded, but the officials of the law and order were reduced to flowery shelves with no real power.

Putting aside the prejudice against Qin Jin, even Yang Guozhong, who was bent on dictatorship, deeply thought of this, Wei Fangjin is proposing it now, isn't it asking for his own suffering?

Although he coveted the position of Zhongshu Ling, and hated Gao Xianzhi to the core, he also knew what to do and what not to do.

However, Wei Fangjin smiled confidently.

"Yang Xianggong rest assured, the Son of Heaven will definitely agree, as long as Yang Xianggong does not hinder him, Wei will be grateful!"

These words made Yang Guozhong completely stunned, he also thought that the other party was trying to make a fool of himself, how could he think that people didn't need to help by themselves, the so-called helping Yunyun was just a nice kind word.

Thinking of this, Yang Guozhong has mixed feelings in his heart, and he doesn't have to take the fire himself, which is true to avoid big trouble, but it also indicates that his status in the court or the Son of Heaven is still declining.

In Wei Fangjin's tone, he could almost operate this matter on his own, and all Yang Guozhong needed to do was sit idly by.

If you don't object, you help, Wei Fangjin's proposal vaguely stimulated Yang Guozhong's fragile self-esteem, but he couldn't vent for a while, and he suddenly felt bored.

However, Yang Guozhong was not so stupid as to be completely swayed by his emotions, so what did it matter if he agreed to Wei Fangjin like this? He didn't need to pay anything, and he could sit back and enjoy the results.

As for Wei Fangjin, this old guy, he will have the opportunity to pull him off the horse again in the future, and he will never be able to turn over with a hard kick.

When they arrived at Xingqing Palace, the two of them got off the car and cleaned up their clothes, and under the guidance of the Yellow Gate, they went to the palace where the Son of Heaven was.

Yang Guozhong and Wei Fangjin were both edicted to enter the palace, and the Son of Heaven was so anxious to recruit the prime minister, obviously there was something important to discuss. It wasn't until he met with the Son of Heaven that Yang Guozhong knew that the Son of Heaven was summoning him so urgently to set up a wartime affair.

"Minister Yang Guozhong ......"

"Minister Wei Fang enters the ......"

"...... to see His Majesty the Emperor is safe!"

The two spoke in unison and solemnly saluted.

After Li Longji motioned for the two to take a seat, he put forward the topic of a few days straight to the point.

"Wei Qing's suggestion, I think so, it's just a separate official office, but it's not a trivial matter, I don't know if Wei Qing has a specific charter?"

Wei Fangjin's letter to Li Longji only listed the general direction, but the real details could only be determined after detailed deliberation.

In this regard, Wei Fangjin seemed to have been prepared, and actually took out a piece of music from his arms and presented it with respectful hands.

"The minister is planning at night, and all the suggestions and details are in it!"

Li Longji was immediately overjoyed, said three good words in a row, and praised Wei Fangjin for his dedication to state affairs, and the eunuch standing on the side took the piece held by Wei Fangjin and put it on the imperial case of the Son of Heaven.

Li Longji was full of smiles, and he was not in a hurry to read the detailed rules in Wei Fangjin's book, but turned his gaze to Yang Guozhong.

"Does Yang Qing have any suggestions?"

Yang Guozhong and Wei Fangjin had already compromised, so they naturally agreed, and they inevitably praised Li Longji for Shengming.

Li Longji is old and in poor spirits, and he is reluctant to ask about the details of specific affairs, and the only thing he wants to grasp is the wartime observer, who must come from the eunuchs trusted in the palace, otherwise all plans will be empty talk that backfires.

"This matter is related to the fate of the country, in terms of observing the selection of envoys, do the two Aiqing have any suggestions?"

In the past, Li Longji would never have asked his subordinates about personnel appointments and dismissals, but at this time and that time, he still had to listen humbly, so that his subordinates would be dead set on him.

Wei Fangjin suddenly got up, bowed down and said: "The observation envoy is in charge very much, please ask the Son of Heaven to judge!" The minister also thought that at this time, he could set up branches in Hedong, Hebei, and Dugi. ”

If once the Xingyuan is established, the old local pattern will be broken, and the Jiedu envoys in the border towns will have to obey the dispatch of the Xingyuan Observation Envoys, so that the Jiedu Envoys who have lost their financial power are like a tiger that has been choked by the neck, and they can no longer turn over the wind and waves.

The Observer Envoy replaced the Jiedu Envoy and became the highest local governor of the military and government. In addition, wartime operations are set up temporarily, and once the counterinsurgency is completed, they can be dismantled at any time, which naturally avoids the potential threat of a big tail.

Li Longji pondered for a moment, and then he already had the most suitable candidate for Sanxingyuan.

"Grass edict...... Jingyou, the inner supervisor, was the wartime observer of Hedong Province, and Zhang Fuchen was the wartime observer of Hebei Province......"

Jingyou has always served as a supervisor in the Qin and Jin army, and has always been diligent, Li Longji thinks that although this person is somewhat inclined to Qin and Jin, but the eunuch is the slave of the Son of Heaven after all, and the relatives are naturally placed there. As for Zhang Fuchen, who was trapped in Taiyuan, he could just let him go to Hebei to control the people of Feng Changqing.

Feng Changqing's fear of sin and leaving has always been Li Longji's heart disease, although he has made some contributions in Hebei Province, he must also put his bridle on again.

Speaking of this, Li Longji thought for a while, although he nodded slightly, as if he had made up his mind.

"During the Heluo War, Yu Chaoen was the observer, including the Tongguan people, and they were controlled in one piece!"

At the same time as Li Longji dictated, Yang Guozhong also picked up his pen and began to draft the edict. As one of the prime ministers, it is his job to draft the edict, but it is the first time to write the edict in front of the Son of Heaven!

But the Son of Heaven has an order, and since he is asked to draft an edict, he must obey it obediently, which also shows how anxious the Son of Heaven is about this matter.

After the draft edict was completed, Li Longji turned out Qin Jin's book on the imperial case, which included a recital for the merit of the army and a recital for recommending local virtuous people.

The meritorious people invited by Qin and Jin were all approved by Li Longji, and ordered Wei Fangjin to recount the merits and reward them in accordance with the imperial court law. As for the local virtuous people of Qin and Jin, let Wei Fangjin and Yang Guozhong discuss together.

Let Huangfu Ke take over as the Taishou of Jiangzhou, this is really beyond Yang Guozhong's expectations, once the external threat disappears, the alliance between Qin Jin and Huangfu Ke will also collapse, but Qin Jin and Bao promoted this person as the Taishou of Jiangzhou, which is really incredible. As for Sun Anping, the candidate for Cizhou Taishou, he is only a long history, and he was originally a little-known figure, and he had little to do with Qin Jin and the Shenwu Army......

Yang Guozhong hesitated, whether he should second, but Wei Fangjin bowed down again and said:

"The minister is dull, please judge the Son of Heaven!"
