Chapter 2 Tianhe (Part I)

"The right minister is wise!" As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of praise around them. Especially Yu Wende and Song Yu, who got the benefits for their younger brother as they wished, the moved expressions on their faces were clearly visible. It's like the next moment when Yang Guozhong asks them to go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, they will definitely do it without hesitation.

"Hmm!" Yang Guozhong stroked his beard and responded with a smile. Although he knew that much of everyone's flattery was sincere, he still couldn't help but feel a little proud of his wit. Feng Changqing gave Yu Wenzhi, Song Wu, Wang Xun and others only the post of the general of the five grades, according to the current practice of decentralization between the center and the local government of the Tang Dynasty, the Jiedu envoy recommended the officials of the five grades and below, he could not refuse at all, otherwise, he would definitely have to risk a complete confrontation with the other party. However, with a short modifier, he easily separated Wang Xun and several other teenagers who needed to be promoted by himself. not only gave Yu Wende and Song Yu favors, but also did not save Feng Changqing's face.

"Then the few teenagers who took the initiative to follow General Feng to Anxi last year to defend the country and the land will be promoted to half a level, and they will be dismissed from General Sipinlang and General Jia Mingwei, what do you think?" is worthy of being the first good man in the world, Chen Xilie, the left minister, after a little consideration, he understood Yang Guozhong's original intention and added it along the water. (Note 1)

"Good!" Yang Guozhong glanced at Chen Xilie, laughed and stroked his palm.

Yu Wende's younger brother Yu Wenzhi and Song Yu's clan brother Song Wu both took the initiative to follow Feng Changqing to the Western Regions in the spring, so they naturally wanted to be rewarded vigorously, thinking that they would set an example for the world. As for Wang Xun, who only escorted the baggage to lead the team to Anxi last autumn, although everyone here has not yet realized that Yang Guozhong deliberately separated him from the scope of being promoted by leapfrogging, but for such a little person who has nothing to do with everyone, who cares if he follows the steps or jumps into the dragon gate?

According to the old system of the Tang Dynasty, all matters involving the promotion, renewal, and demotion of officials need to go through the dual steps of the Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province to review before they can be handed over to the emperor for final approval. At present, the right minister Yang Guozhong is holding more than 40 positions, the left minister Chen Xilie's corpse is a vegetarian meal, and the rest of the hundred officials tend to be inflammatory. The entire process of promoting officials has been greatly simplified. At the moment, Song Yu, a member of the Zhongshu House, referred to the resolution of the "everyone" just now, carefully put it on the paper, and then handed it over to the two prime ministers on the right and left to look at, and after both of them said that there was nothing that needed to be modified, they gathered together with the resolutions of rectifying the Lingnan Post Road and renovating the Lishan Palace, and sent it into the forbidden palace by a special person.

At this moment, it has only been more than an hour since the Scattered Dynasty. Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, had just had lunch with the noble concubine Yang Yuhuan, and was holding a bowl of carefully cooked Xiaolongtuan listening to each other's pianos. Knowing that the courtiers had discussed all the things they had explained so quickly, he was overjoyed. smiled and praised him: "I think when I promoted Guozhong, some people said that he was not a prime minister. But in fact, in the six months since he took office, I have been much more worried! ”

"Your Majesty, don't spoil him too much!" Yang Yuhuan glanced at Li Longji with a smile, and slowly withdrew his spring-like fingers from the strings. "My brother doesn't read much, and he is also an anxious person to do things. In case something goes wrong, Your Majesty must not look at the face of the concubine to protect the shortcomings! Otherwise, if you miss a major national event, the concubine will really die and be redeemed! ”

Although it is not deliberately to invite pets, how can such kind and considerate words not make people's hearts soften. Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, stood up with a smile, slowly walked to the concubine's side, and pulled up the other party's fingers, "What are you talking about?" Am I so unbearable that I will delay state affairs because of you? I have always seen people accurately. Back then, Yuanzhi and Guangping were enabled, and there were many people outside the palace who doubted my vision. However, Motoyuki and Guangping taught them a lesson with facts. ”

Yuanzhi is the word of Yao Chong, and Guangping refers to Song Jing, both of whom were prime ministers in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. After taking office, he swept away the accumulated malpractices, eliminated corrupt officials, and tried his best to reverse the decline of Datang due to political turmoil. It can be said that the foundation of the prosperity and peace of the Tang Dynasty in the past 30 years since then has been laid by these two people. What's even more rare is that these two have always been deeply trusted by Li Longji, and there is a beginning and an end between the monarch and the minister. Until the two enjoyed their lives, they were posthumously praised by Li Longji.

Yang Yuhuan Bingxue was smart, and after listening to Li Longji's words, he immediately understood that the other party regarded Yang Guozhong as a famous minister like Yao and Song, and he was immediately moved. Squatted down, and responded in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, don't say that. Even if the elder brother has been training for another twenty years, he will not reach half the level of the two virtuous ministers. In the future, as long as he doesn't cause trouble to His Majesty, the concubine will be satisfied! ”

Seeing the tears in the eyes of the favorite concubine, Li Longji felt a generous and heroic man's spirit in his heart. smiled and pulled the other party closer to his arms, patted the jade back and said, "What trouble can you break through." The sky is falling, and I am holding it for him! If Guozhong is really like you said, if he is still a little less experienced than you said, let him experience in the position of prime minister. Who can be born to know how to be a prime minister! ”

"Your Majesty's kindness. Even if the concubines and brothers and sisters are broken, they can't repay them! Hearing Li Longji say heroically, Yang Yuhuan sniffled and said in a low voice.

She asked herself if she was good at government affairs, and she was too lazy to care about the rights and wrongs outside the palace. However, some rumors about her brothers and sisters still reached her ears through various channels. What 'has no virtue of the prime minister, and there is no talent of the prime minister'; what 'collusion between inside and outside to control the government'; what 'sisters compete for favor and mess up the harem'. The list goes on and on. Some are chasing after the wind, while others are purely malicious and false. Yang Yuhuan can't stop the world's mouth, but he knows the truth that the tree is big. So anytime and anywhere, stay vigilant. I hope that through my peerless appearance and anti-danger behavior, I can avoid some possible disasters for the family.

Li Longji didn't know why his favorite concubine always spoke with a little sadness today. Thinking that the other party was taking the opportunity to be coquettish, he pinched the other party's nose with his other hand, and smiled like a loving father: "How can I be willing to give up my bones?!" Even if Concubine Ai falls in a hurry to walk, I will feel distressed for several days! In the future, if Brother Ling makes a mistake outside, you won't need to be crushed. Just be bitten by me, eat it slowly, and that's it! ”

"Your Majesty——!" Yang Yuhuan's face suddenly rose into a blush, like a ray of candlelight on the white blue, which was dizzying.

"Could it be that Concubine Ai wants to be eaten by me?" Li Longji's heart immediately warmed up, and he asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty still has a lot of twists and turns that have not been approved!" Yang Yuhuan struggled like a rabbit for a moment, and then buried his face in Li Longji's chest, standing still.

The age difference between the two is thirty-four years, and their physical needs are not at the same level at all. However, power has always been the best tonic, although he is in his prime, as long as it is not a continuous expedition, Li Longji's performance is barely passable. But this moment is obviously not the time to indulge in the joy of bed, first, it is still early, and secondly, there are a lot of folds on the corner of the bookcase waiting for the approval of the Tang Emperor, and Yang Yuhuan does not want to be confused and bear the name of a red face and trouble.

"Hey, hey!" Li Longji smirked. The big hand slowly slid down Yang Yuhuan's spine. It wasn't until the body in his arms trembled that he lifted it up and gently slapped it on his buttocks, "Smack!" ”

"Ahh It's not so much a pain as a **. Yang Yuhuan raised his head, his eyes were like silk.

"Go to the Hall of Eternal Life and wait for me. I'm done fooling around with these twists and turns, and I'm going to listen to your cappella! Li Longji continued to laugh evilly, let go of Yang Yuhuan, and strode towards the imperial book case.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really ......." Yang Yuhuan twisted his nose and slowly moved his body with a red face. After only three or five steps, his feet were so weak that he almost turned into a rolling gourd. The palace maids who had been quietly hiding outside the door heard the movement, and hurriedly stepped in, reaching out to hold her arm, "Be careful!" Mother, put your hand on the shoulder of the servant! If you don't have to hit your feet, pass on to the imperial doctor, the concubine's feet are injured! ”

In normal times, Li Longji had already dropped the fold and hurriedly grabbed it to check the beauty's injuries. But today, he suddenly changed his temper, staring at a copy that he had just opened, and there were faint green tendons on his forehead.

Seeing this scene, the little palace maids didn't dare to invite pets for the concubine anymore. Glancing at the latter, he grabbed his arm and slowly ducked out the door. Unexpectedly, although Li Longji was old, he didn't let go of his ability to see the six roads. Suddenly, he frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come back!" Concubine, come to me! ”

"The concubine obeys!" Yang Yuhuan was taken aback, and all the flames that had been stirred up in his heart were extinguished. lowered his head and straightened his clothes, and slowly moved the lotus step, "Your Majesty, did the concubine's brother do something wrong?" Your Majesty called him over to reprimand him, don't condone him because of his concubines! ”

Something similar she had expressed before. If you bring it up again at this moment, you will get twice the result with half the effort. When Li Longji heard this, his gloomy face quickly slowed down, and he read the resolution sent by Yang Guozhong and the others several times, pondered for a long time, sighed and asked, "How old is Concubine Ai this year?" ”

"The concubine is the palace that Tianbao has entered for four years, and now she is thirty-five years old." Yang Yuhuan didn't know why Li Longji suddenly cared about his age, so he pondered for a moment and replied cautiously.

"It's been so long since I've been in the palace!" Li Longji shook his head, the smile on his face looked a little bitter, "In my heart, you have always been in your twenties." ”

"Your Majesty is making fun of your concubines again!" Yang Yuhuan became more and more confused, closed his long eyelashes, and said coquettishly.

This contrived has not had the desired effect today. Li Longji sighed again and continued to shake his head, "Yuhuan, tell you the truth, am I really very old?" ”

Note 1: In the Tang Dynasty official system, there were many kinds of langs. There are four and five grades. General Mingwei is dismissed from the fourth rank, enjoys the treatment from the fourth grade, and can give priority to filling the vacancy.
