There was chaos in the court for a while, and finally got back on track.

The end of the year is approaching, this is the last court meeting of the year, half a month later, the long holiday will begin until after the seventh day of the new year, and many things must be arranged in advance, so as not to delay the "vacation" of officials due to temporary conditions......

When all things were finished, it was already in the middle of the day, and it was noon.

After the dispersal of the court, the vast majority of officials returned to their respective government offices one after another, carried out the policies at the court meeting, and exhorted the officials under their command to stand on the last shift of the year before the year with their eyes wide open, to ensure safe production, and to maintain social stability......

Several prime ministers came to the government hall to continue to discuss state affairs.

Under normal circumstances, all major events will be played by the prime minister at the court meeting to His Majesty, and then brainstorm to determine the route, and then the specific implementation is the prime minister's scope of responsibility. In short, it is the emperor who determines the direction of the matter, and the prime minister is responsible for the specific implementation.

The atmosphere in the political hall is obviously much more relaxed than in the Taiji Hall, with a few plates of exquisite snacks from the palace placed on the table, a pot of hot tea, the incense burner in the corner of the wall lit the fine sandalwood, and the earth dragon bakes the room hot.

The first thing they did when they came to the government hall was to release the water......

There is no way, no one knows how long the court meeting will last, because all the officials of the court will try not to drink water or eat in advance, so as not to be in a hurry at the court meeting, and it is themselves who will suffer at that time.

After happily putting out the water, several Zaifu cleaned their hands, sat down at the table and ate a few snacks, drinking hot tea, which was comfortable and comfortable.

Fang Xuanling moved his shoulders and sighed: "I am really old, in the past, I often didn't sleep for several days in the event of a major event, but now I am about to toss and fall apart after just a big court meeting, and I am becoming more and more powerless." ”

He is a person who has basically no political aspirations, and it is almost a natural thing to be able to sit in this position, and he has never deliberately sought it. Fortunately, he has a generous temperament and is upright, and he has never slackened off in his position.

It's just that now that the family has a rich inheritance, it is inevitable that there will be a retreat in my heart, and I will enjoy a few years of happiness in peace, and I will write a book saying that these things that I have no time to do in my life are good to do again, so that this life is not in vain.

Ma Zhou, as the governor of the Chinese Academy, also has a place in the political hall, but "I can only see it, I can't say it......

When Ma Zhou heard this, he smiled and said: "Although Fang Xiang is getting older, he is able to handle things with ease, and the lower officials have benefited a lot. ”

"Can't say" just can't speak when the prime minister is deliberating, it doesn't mean that you have to sew your mouth shut when you enter the political hall.

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Why should King Bin be modest? When the old man was your age, he had just left home from Qingzhou Mansion and came to Guanzhong to join the command of King Qin, and he was just doing some work to lead the horse and pedal to check and fill in the gaps. Binwang, you have a high starting point, start early, and can be humble to learn and work diligently, the most rare thing is to be able to always uphold the public heart, given time, your achievements are definitely not under our old age, you are the future of the empire. ”

The compliment in these words is very simple, and it is almost impossible to say Yifang Xuanling's character, which shows how optimistic he is about Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou was grateful.

What are the basis for the promotion of officials?

Sometimes it's talent, sometimes it's background, but when the two are not comparable, it's often seniority that plays a key role.

What is Qualifications?

The trust of the emperor, the reuse of the chief, and the praise of the bigwig can all be called qualifications.

Fang Xuanling's official voice is so good that there are almost no flaws, and his sentence "You are the future of the empire" can make Ma Zhou's momentum increase by three points out of thin air, and no matter who can question Ma Zhou in terms of ability in the future, because Fang Xuanling has already made a conclusion.

You say Fang Xuanling is talking nonsense?

Hehe......

Even the eldest grandson Wuji didn't dare to say such things.

Who can't see Fang Xuanling's exploits? Decades of emperor's humerus ministers, more than ten years of imperial chiefs, outstanding ability, prestige at the same time, can also do the best of virtue, ability, prestige has long been recognized by the world. Such a person's words of praise had a great impact on Ma Zhou.

The eldest grandson Wuji on the side had a gloomy face, and at this moment, he glanced at Ma Zhou lightly, and said: "These hypocritical and frivolous polite words, let's leave them for later, everyone's time is precious, and it is important to deal with business quickly." ”

Fang Xuanling was silent and ignored it.

Ma Zhou closed his mouth, and he didn't have that qualifications if he wanted to pay attention......

Cen Wenwen put down the teacup and said, "The first thing is the turbulence of the situation in the Western Regions. Guo Xiaoke completely overturned the resolution of the previous political affairs hall, set up a new brewing workshop, and completely abolished the wool workshop, which made the Hu people in the Western Regions complain, resulting in the damage to the interests of many tribes and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. At present, should a new Xizhou assassin and Anxi Protector be re-elected to succeed Guo Xiaoke, so that Guo Xiaoke should immediately return to Beijing to report on his work, and then agree on his responsibility for violating the resolution of the political affairs hall and causing turbulent public opinion and chaos in the Western Regions? ”

The current Western Regions is already turbulent under Guo Xiaoke's perverse actions, and there is a faint disobedience among the various tribes in the Western Regions, but they are afraid of the strong combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty army, so they have to temporarily restrain themselves.

And what Guo Xiaoke did was only to drive the Tang Dynasty soldiers to suppress the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and he believed in the concept of "one force to reduce ten meetings", believing that as long as the Tang Dynasty could maintain sufficient military superiority in the Western Regions, it would be able to suppress the ethnic groups in the Western Regions and dare not act rashly.

However, he completely forgot that the reason why he wanted to implement the strategy of grape brewing and "sheep eating people" in the Western Regions was to liberate the redundant military force, reduce the burden on the center, and concentrate on preparing for the future battle of Goguryeo......

The eldest grandson Wuji retorted: "Jing Ren's words are wrong. Guo Xiaoke's collection of grape wine, and the dethronement of the wool workshop was really a last resort, when the two workshops were fired, and the Fang family failed to arrange the aftermath in the first time, Guo Xiaoke, as the protector of Anxi, naturally had to take responsibility, and could not allow this incident to cause turmoil in the Western Regions. As for the effect is not ideal, it can only be attributed to Guo Xiaoke being a pure military general and not good at economic methods, he has had it, but he is not guilty. ”

Fang Xuanling lowered his face and glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji lightly.

What a shame!

Seeing that my family's brewing workshop was red-eyed, he took it by skill, and if he couldn't win it, he simply set up his own door and kicked the Fang family out, but it turned out that all these things were done as a last resort?

Cen Wenwen smiled, did not argue with the eldest grandson Wuji, and said: "Since this is the case, then the official will draw up a memorabilia for this matter, and ask Your Majesty to deal with it, what do you think?" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded: "That's very good." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji kept his mouth shut, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his heart was full of resentment.

What a fart!

Nowadays, there are only three Zaisuke in the political affairs hall, and the rules of the political affairs hall have always been that the minority obeys the majority when there is a standoff. Cen Wenwen proposed, Fang Xuanling agreed, even if the matter of occupying two of the three votes was so decided, what was the use of his eldest grandson Wuji's opinion? I'm so depressed!

Wei Zheng, that old thing, occupies a position, and Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen are not people on the same line, but they often have a tacit understanding, resulting in the current political affairs hall of the eldest grandson Wuji becoming a loner......

No, we have to find a way to persuade Your Majesty to increase the number of Zaifu in the political hall.

He glanced at Ma Zhou, who was in charge of recording the copywriting on the side, and his heart lit up, it may be difficult to increase the number of Zaifu, but it is not difficult to add the title of "Governor of Political Affairs" to some ministers, so that they are qualified to enter the political affairs hall......

After agreeing on the matter of the Western Regions, Cen Wenwen continued: "Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan brought a letter from Songtsen Gampo into Beijing, and wanted to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty to jointly send troops to exterminate Tuyuhun. ”

This matter has nothing to do with the individual interests of the few people here, and there is nothing to discuss.

The eldest grandson Wuji said directly: "He wants to be beautiful!" Tuyuhun was originally in my Tang Dynasty's bag, but because the strategic center of gravity of the entire empire is now tilted in the northeast, there is no spare strength to solve Tuyuhun. If Tubo wants to divide the territory of Tuyuhun, it is tantamount to taking food from the tiger's mouth, and it will definitely not work. ”

Fang Xuanling also nodded and said: "This is not negotiable, not only can you not form an alliance with Tubo, but you must also express your support for Tuyuhun, and you can't make Tuyuhun an inch of land be annexed by Tubo." Datang is a tiger, Tuguhun is a sheep, Tubo is a wolf, mutton enters the wolf's mouth, even a tiger can't grab it! ”

At this point, the three Zaisuke rarely agreed on the same and quickly formulated their opinions.

Next, Cen Wenwen looked at Fang Xuanling and said with a smile: "The following matter is related to Fang Xiang, the addition of Jingzhao Mansion has been approved by the court, so where is the location of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion?" Is it to start a new home, or is it simple and adaptable? How will the officials at all levels of Jingzhao Mansion be transferred? ”

That's what's at stake!

Fang Xuanling glanced at Meow Mi Mi Cen's text and sighed to himself: It's not a fuel-efficient lamp......
