The generals didn't speak, and the civil officials just said some clichés, mostly just to show their faces in front of the emperor and the officials.

Li Longji, who was on the throne, was a little sluggish, and perhaps the dance of the concubine Niangniang the night before was too charming. Fortunately, there was no major incident in the morning today, and Li Longji, who was half-asleep and half-awake, also successfully coped with it.

Seeing that he was about to go to court, he didn't expect the prime minister to throw out such an issue again. Seeing that the ministers were about to finish the discussion, and it was the turn of the saint to speak, Gao Lishi, who was standing on the side, saw it, hurriedly brought a cup of tea, pretended to walk to Li Longji's side, and woke him up while bending over.

Li Longji cooperatively took the teacup, took a sip, and looked at the hundred officials seat, and the hundred officials also looked at him.

Above the Golden Palace, it is quiet.

"Oops! I forgot to say something to the saint!" Gao Lishi, who had already returned to his original position and was standing, was suddenly in a hurry, but at this moment, Gao Lishi and Li Longji were so close that it was too late to send another glass of water!

Fortunately, Li Longji reacted quickly, and in the face of the expectant eyes of the officials, Li Longji asked calmly: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Li Longji asked Xu Fan, before, this kind of thing to help himself cover up, Li Longji was looking for Li Linfu. However, since Xu Fan came, this kind of thing has been done by Xu Fan.

In addition, Li Longji previously referred to several prime ministers as "left minister", "right minister", and "forest minister......

But since Xu Fan came, in private, he was commensurate with the words, but at the court meeting, he was directly referred to as the "prime minister". Such obvious favor, but there is no one who has eyes that cannot be seen.

The emperor's move is tantamount to putting Xu Fan on the cusp, but Li Linfu has been in charge of the country for more than ten years, deep-rooted, Xu Fan has just arrived, although there are some connections in the past, but if you want to compete with Li Linfu, you can only acquiesce to the various benefits given by the emperor. Use this subtle method to gradually change the courtiers' views on their strength, so that Xu Fan can gather enough strength in the possible decisive battle in the future.

When Xu Fan heard the inquiry, he said very considerately: "Zuo Xiangti will set the two towns of Fanyang and Hexi as soon as possible, so that the border passes will be worry-free." The minister has just ascended to the throne, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the army, so the saint should consult the left and right ministers!"

Li Longji nodded lightly when he heard this, and Xu Fan really had the same attitude as before. Then he asked Lin Xilie: "Is there a suitable candidate for the left minister?"

Lin Xilie is in charge of the military department, and the nomination right is naturally headed by him, thinking of the news from An Lushan yesterday, and seeing that Xu Fan really didn't say a word today, Lin Xilie took the time to glance at Li Linfu, but saw that Li Linfu was also expressionless.

Lin Xilie nodded secretly in his heart: "It seems that An Lushan's kung fu has been done very well!"

People in their positions have to think about the risks before doing anything. Although the price offered by An Lushan was enough to impress Lin Xilie, if he was not sure, Lin Xilie would naturally not do it. Now seeing that the current situation is really as An Lushan said, Lin Xilie is naturally happy to push the boat along the water.

"The minister thinks that although the two towns of Hexi and Fanyang are calm on the surface, there are changes on the border from time to time, and if they transfer people from other places, they are afraid that it will be difficult to succeed in a hurry, so it is better to let the nearest festival envoy take it over! They already have an understanding of the border affairs, and they have also saved the time to run in, so it is better to be familiar than to be raw!"

As soon as Lin Xilie's foul language came out, the hall was in an uproar.

The generals who didn't dare to speak out jumped out one after another...... Just kidding! It's hard to wait until there are two fat shortages, but it's better for you to leave no one for us, and you can't eat like this when you eat alone!

"Haha, ridiculous! If you want to follow the meaning of the left minister, the imperial court will not choose new officials in the future, just let the old officials serve as well, and save trouble!"

"Didn't Zuo Xiang think that my Datang had no more generals?

These are rectums, the kind that you can put on your sleeves with your sleeves rolled up. Of course, there are also those who seem to be "well-intentioned" to persuade them......

"Zuo Xiangyi scholar, the affairs of the Ministry of War have just taken over, I'm afraid it's still running-in, we big men, we can't ask for all the harsh criticism!"

This person's scolding is still very level, it looks tactful, but in fact, it is more direct, and thorough! As soon as this is said, it is not equivalent to scolding Lin Xilie for not being a man!

In these years, in addition to men, there are also women and people who are neither men nor women, for men in this year, it is really a shame to be said to be the other two!

Although Lin Xilie is good-tempered, he was scolded like this, and his face was flushed. But his good cultivation made him really unable to open his mouth to scold these "big-headed soldiers", so he could only point angrily with his hands, and those generals who scolded people just now naturally retracted their heads one by one at this moment.

Lin Xilie was launched by Xuanzong Li Longji to check and balance Li Linfu, although the effect was not good, but he was able to occupy a place in the political hall and contain Li Linfu one or two.

Speaking of it, it depends on the master to beat the dog! The generals were so blatantly mocking Lin Xilie above the Golden Palace, and Li Longji's face was not good-looking.

The veterans who were sitting in the front row of the generals saw that the emperor's face was not good, and one of them stood up and reprimanded: "What are you doing? Do you treat this golden palace as a vegetable market?

It is said that Li Longji is good at using Hu generals, but in fact, it is also a helpless move!

The origin of the Tang generals is somewhat complicated, in the early Tang Dynasty, the army was almost controlled by a group of old brothers who followed Li Shimin to fight the world, at that time the war was undecided, and only these veterans could control this batch of lions in a hundred battles, in order to form the Tang Army's combat effectiveness that was the best in the world.

Later, under the coup d'état for many years, most of these founding achievements withered. The army was once again under the control of the nobles. Later, when Emperor Zetian was in power, he tried his best to suppress the nobles and enhance the status of the wealthy families in Shandong, and most of the military were people from the samurai and wealthy families in Shandong.

By the time Li Longji succeeded to the throne, because Li Longji was an out-and-out "nobleman" in his early years, he was basically mixed up in court infighting in the early days, and the level of political struggle was naturally good, but militarily it could only be said to be average.

More importantly, Li Longji never personally took charge of the army! This is also natural; when Wu Zetian was there, Li Longji was not old enough, and after Wu Zetian's death, Li Dan was reinstated, and he was confronted with the dictatorship of Empress Wei, and the government was peaceful and chaotic, and Li Longji, who was busy carrying out political struggles, did not have the time or possibility to run to take charge of the army.

The consequences of this status quo were very severe, so much so that when the Empress Wei and the Taiping Rebellion were pacified, Li Longji had to rely on the power of the Jiangmen family again. Otherwise, in the Tang Dynasty, an era when the prince rebelled every day, and it happened to be a special period when he experienced the "chaos of the Tang Dynasty", Li Longji's so-called "crown prince" identity could not actually bring him the advantage of succession such as "the destiny of heaven".

If you want to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor, you still need strong force as a backing, and Li Longji, who is "no one in the army", can only use the power of the Jiangmen family to subdue the local county guards.

In this way, when Li Longji ascended the throne, the Jiangmen family who made great efforts was also exchanged for a transcendent status in the new dynasty.

Although Li Longji elevated the status of civil officials and intended to suppress the Jiangmen family, the gate valves that have been inherited for thousands of years are intricate with each other, and relying on civil officials to suppress them from the outside alone cannot achieve good results. As a result, Li Longji came up with a way to reuse General Hu from the bottom of the army, and used the Hu people, who had nothing to do with the Jiangmen family, to guard the frontier and constantly weaken the strength of the Jiangmen family in the army. And these Hu generals have nothing to worry about in the court, and they have no choice but to be loyal to him Li Longji, so they are naturally comfortable and rest assured!

As soon as this trick came out, the results were remarkable! At least, that's what Li Longji thought......

This is obviously another time, the emperor used the emperor's mental tricks to make a check and balance trick after feeling powerless. It is very different from the use of eunuchs to restrain the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, and the use of Wenchen to suppress military generals in the later two Song Dynasty, etc., but the reason is the same!

It can be seen from Guò Yang Yuhuan that Xuanzong Li Longji's orientation is undoubtedly normal, so how can it be said that he only prefers the rough Hu people for no reason?

This choice has nothing to do with superficial preferences, and in the end it is a political consideration.

But the so-called "emaciated camel is bigger than a horse", the Jiangmen family occupied an absolute advantage in the early stage of the Xuanzong Dynasty, although Li Longji did everything he could, he could only use the Hu generals in the border passes, and it was extremely difficult to let them enter the dynasty to take charge of the central military!

Therefore, now in Chang'an City, the military department is still controlled by the Jiangmen family, and the promotion and transfer of generals is still inseparable from the military department.

But this time it is related to the appointment and dismissal of high-level generals of this level, and the military department has no power, so it can only be proposed by the political affairs hall, and then the emperor will knock on the board.

Most of the generals above the Golden Palace are from generals' families, except for those generals who serve in the forbidden army, most of them have high military ranks, but they can't actually take charge of the army.

Seeing this good opportunity this time, they naturally didn't want to let it go, although they also knew the emperor's suppression of them, but after filtering those famous Hu generals in their minds, they found that none of them were idle. In this way, who else can the emperor use besides choosing from among them?

Who knows, this damn Lin Xilie actually proposed to let people concurrently serve, isn't this smashing their jobs! The generals didn't directly copy the guys, they already gave the emperor a lot of face!

Therefore, the military commander who felt that he had done his best to be benevolent and righteous only scolded a few words, which could be regarded as an explanation to the emperor and the prime minister.

After finishing speaking, the veteran continued: "Holy Lord, there is no precedent for one person in this dynasty to lead two towns at the same time, if this case is opened, I am afraid it will easily cause a catastrophe!"

To be honest, apart from that little selfishness, what the veteran said is actually quite reasonable.

However, Prime Minister Lin Xilie, who was angry, felt that his face was gloomy. Originally, it was just to help An Lushan, and Lin Xilie, who didn't care about success or failure, made up his mind to finalize the matter for a while, otherwise where would his majesty be the prime minister?

So, Lin Xilie immediately said the candidate he recommended: "Shengshang, the old minister recommended Wang Zhonghei, the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, and An Lushan, the envoy of the Pinglu Jiedu, and the envoy of the Fanyang Jiedu, both of whom are veterans for many years, and have been in the border pass for many years, and are familiar with the military situation of the border pass, so they are really the best candidates!"

"What?"

"What?"

Two completely different words convey the same surprise, but the reason for the surprise and the position they are in are very different!
