Chapter 19: Seizure of office (3)
[Lizheng Hall is the dormitory of Empress Changsun during the Taizong period, and the dormitory of Empress Xuanzong has not been found...... Let's take it far-fetched~ As for the completion time of the Palace of Eternal Life, it should be earlier than Li Bai's "Qingping Tune", otherwise it can't be written, although "Qingping Tune" is said to be made near the Agarwood Pavilion of Xingqing Palace, but Xingqing Palace is a palace group, and the main body of the Tang Dynasty Palace has three palace groups...... Everyone, spare me~]
Tang Wenbo's prediction was right, Yang Guozhong, who was born in the market, saw the Dongzhu in the brocade box, and there was nothing else in his eyes.
Tang Wenbo is also a little clever, seeing Yang Guozhong like this, he took the opportunity to tell Yang Guozhong some of the things he guessed, and told the risk in advance, so that if something happens in the future, Yang Guozhong will not be able to say anything to him.
In this way, the money is in hand, and the risk is diluted again, in Tang Wenbo's view, it is really the best of both worlds!
As the saying goes, take people's money and eliminate disasters with others. Since Yang Guozhong has accepted the gift, he has to do things for others.
Therefore, on the second day, Yang Guozhong rushed to the palace.
It is said that in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Yang Yuhuan was named a noble concubine, the Yang family was a family, and the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and Yang Guozhong, who was then called Yang Zhao, became an upstart in the imperial court. At that time, Yang Zhao also took the opportunity to do a few satisfactory things for Emperor Xuanzong, and under the joy of Long Yan, Yang Zhao was renamed Yang Guozhong by the imperial gift, so far, the holy family is even more than before.
The carriage stopped in front of the Suzaku Gate, although there was no special shoulder wheel like Xu Fan, but our uncle did not need to pass it on to enter and leave the Forbidden Palace.
After entering the palace, Yang Guozhong walked straight to the harem.
Yang Yuhuan is now a veritable master of the harem, but after all, he is not the queen, and the Lizheng Hall where the queen lived is not qualified to move in. Fortunately, Li Longji built a palace of eternal life for him, which was magnificent, especially in the Lizheng Palace.
"Foreign Minister Yang Guozhong, I have seen the noble concubine Niangniang, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" Yang Guozhong bowed as soon as he entered the Hall of Eternal Life.
"Get up, third brother, you come here again, and there are no outsiders here!" Seeing Yang Guozhong's serious appearance, Yang Yuhuan felt funny.
Zhu Yan is lightly displayed, and the house is full of color.
"What a peerless stunner!" Yang Guozhong is not Yang Yuhuan's own brother, he can only be regarded as a cousin, Yang Guozhong has some other thoughts about this cousin who has captivated the country and the city.
However, Yang Guozhong is not the scoundrel boy in Shu at the beginning, he only lost his mind for a moment, then recovered, and then said seriously: "There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and the etiquette cannot be abolished! The mother does not forget the family, that is the luck of the foreign minister, how dare the foreign minister coerce the grace to serve?"
At this time, Yang Guozhongkong had the name of a national uncle, but his real power was not big, just a small supervision of the imperial history in the imperial history platform. Although the holy family is good, it mostly stops at some small things in the palace.
It stands to reason that such a person should not have high hopes from An Lushan, however, above the officialdom, a person's energy often has little to do with his position and grade.
Yang Guozhong knew that his every qiē came from his sister who was a concubine, so how dare he not pay attention to this sister?
The reason why Yang Guozhong accepted An Lushan's request this time was that on the one hand, An Lushan's bid was indeed very high, and on the other hand, Yang Guozhong wanted to take the opportunity to enhance his influence in the court, so that the ministers of the court and the central government could clearly understand their energy, and what could be more convincing than helping An Lushan win the post of Fan Yang Jiedu?
Yang Yuhuan's authority is hers after all, although Yang Guozhong was born in the market, he also knows that only what he holds in his own hands is the most real! For this reason, he is eager to expand his political power, so that the title of this uncle of the country is worthy of the name, after all, he is not the only uncle in the court, Yang Yuhuan also has two brothers!
"Okay, okay, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, the third brother is here today, is there anything wrong?" Yang Yuhuan moved lightly, leaned lazily on the couch, lightly opened his lips, and asked.
Yang Yuhuan also understands the temperament of his third brother, and he is a person who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Although Yang Yuhuan is a little tired of these things, but now that he has become a concubine, some things can't help himself. I am alone in this palace, although I have the emperor's favor, but in this palace, in the past hundred years, how many concubines who have been favored and not weaker than themselves have died in vain. Yang Yuhuan is no longer an innocent cardamom girl, and these things in the palace have long been known in the Shouwang Mansion.
For this reason, since he was sealed, Yang Yuhuan has also slowly cultivated some of his own forces, not seeking anything else, but protecting his ears!
But the palace has long been operated by eunuchs and female officials, and she Yang Yuhuan is not an orthodox concubine, so the progress in the palace is very slow.
In this way, Yang Yuhuan also needs a foreign aid who can help him at all times. However, the two brothers in his own family, one is cowardly, the other is arrogant, and none of them can succeed. So she fell in love with this calm third brother.
For this reason, most of Yang Yuhuan's requests will comply, after all, Yang Guozhong's strength is strong, and his position in the palace is becoming more and more stable.
Seeing that Yang Yuhuan was straight to the point, Yang Guozhong no longer delayed, and said bluntly: "An Lushan, the envoy of the Pinglu Jiedu, wants to take over the post of the envoy of the Fanyang Jiedu, I don't know who the Holy Lord wants?"
When Yang Yuhuan heard this, he immediately frowned: "An Lushan, why did you get mixed up with him?"
Thinking of the squinting eyes of An Lushan at the banquet in Hanyuan Hall a few days ago, Yang Yuhuan was displeased.
"Huh?" Yang Guozhong looked at Yang Yuhuan in surprise, a little strange that his sister would know An Lushan and seemed to have a lot of prejudices against him.
Yang Yuhuan naturally didn't say anything, so he replied: "The Jiedu envoy is an important position in the court, and the appointment and dismissal need to be passed through the guò political affairs hall, and it can only be discussed by several prime ministers.
It seems that the palace is really a melting pot, no matter how simple a person is, it won't take long for him to become shrewd!
Because, those who refuse to change are afraid that they will be gone for a long time......
"Although it is said that it has to go through the political affairs hall, the prime minister only has the power to nominate people, and it is still up to the saint to decide who to use!" Gu was not surprised, Yang Guozhong hurriedly explained.
Seeing that Yang Yuhuan began to ponder, Yang Guozhong then said: "If I help An Lushan win this position, the third brother and I will be able to do more things in the court in the future, then ......"
Yang Guozhong's words were not finished, but how could Yang Yuhuan not know?
"Okay, then I'll give it a try!" Thinking about the political benefits that might be obtained, Yang Yuhuan didn't hesitate for too long, and agreed.
Seeing this, Yang Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out a delicate small brocade box from his wide sleeves, handed it to Yang Yuhuan, and said: "Dongzhu, which was just shipped from Bohai Kingdom, thought that Niangniang's necklace was missing a decent pearl, so he sent it to Niangniang. ”
After talking about business, it is natural to talk about remuneration, and the brothers still have to settle accounts, right?
Yang Yuhuan took the risk of being said to be a harem to do things for you, and he couldn't just use some illusory future benefits to dismiss him, right? Although, compared to the amount given by An Lushan, Yang Guozhong was indeed sending Yang Yuhuan away......
Looking at the huge Dongzhu in the brocade box, Yang Yuhuan smiled with satisfaction, women are always defenseless against these shiny things.
So just when Li Linfu staged a drama of "meeting and laughing and enmity" with Xu Fan with the heart of "serving the country and the people", Yang Yuhuan ran to Li Longji's side and blew the pillow wind......
The next day, it is the day of the pilgrimage.
On the top of the Golden Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together. In the first half of this year, the Tang Dynasty Haiyan River was clear, and there were no major wars at the border gates.
The food crisis is now known to only a limited number of people. For this reason, the atmosphere of the entire early dynasty was very harmonious, and the efficiency of deliberations was naturally very high.
Seeing that the atmosphere today is good, and the news sent by An Lushan yesterday also said that everything is ready. For this reason, Prime Minister Lin Xilie was also happy to give An Lushan a favor, after all, An Lushan was still very generous.
"Shengshang, a few days ago, Hexi Jiedu made Huangfu Weiming and Fanyang Jiedu make Zhang Shouqi resign one after another, and now the two towns of Hexi and Fanyang are vacant, and the army cannot be without generals for a day, and I hope that Shengshang will make a decision as soon as possible!" Lin Xilie is also a veteran, knowing that if only the matter of Fanyang Jiedu is mentioned alone, it will be too obvious, it just so happens that since Huangfu Weiming's accident, the position of Hexi Jiedu envoy is also vacant, Lin Xilie saw the opportunity, and just mentioned it at this court meeting.
In this way, after having a companion, An Lushan's affairs are not so obvious.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Xilie mentioned this, a voice of echo sounded above the Golden Palace. After all, the military situation at the border is urgent, and it is not a matter that the position of the first general is always vacant.
"What Zuo Xiang said is extremely true, Hexi and Fanyang are all my Tang Dynasty barriers, and there must be no mistakes, and I hope that the saint will choose a good general as soon as possible!"
"Yes! Now the Greek people in the northeast and Tubo in the northwest have abnormal movements from time to time, and if the two towns of Hexi and Fanyang have been unled for a long time, I am afraid that these people will make trouble again!"
……
The civil official's side was opened by Lin Xilie, so you said it word by word, but the military generals were even more excited than the civil officials, after all, a feudal official like a town festival was much happier than a general who enjoyed flowers and walked birds in Chang'an.
However, how can there be a reason for this kind of thing to be self-recommended, and it is not up to the respective bosses to go and talk about it!
So, one by one, the five big and three thick men stretched their necks one after another, staring at the elderly veterans in front of the team, hoping that they could stand up and say a few words in time to take down these two fat differences.
