Fang Xuanling said helplessly: "The old man also decided to come to you after thinking twice. Leng Feng, although you are in the military general team, you have a good relationship with both civil and military officials, especially since you yourself have the talent of the prime minister, it can be said that you are the most suitable person to become the prime minister in the current dynasty except for the old man. ”

"No, wait a minute, Fang Xiang, how can I hear that you have a sense of stepping down?"

Fang Xuanling didn't explain better, but as soon as he explained, Leng Feng was even more confused.

Why did this guy find him to succeed him as prime minister?

Fang Xuanling sighed: "Yes, the old man just has the idea of stepping down." To be honest, the old man now feels powerless to deal with official documents, especially sometimes he needs to stay up late. When he was young, the old man did not delay the court even if he did not sleep for three days and three nights. However, now the old man slept a little later, and the next day he was dizzy.

The old man asked Sun Daochang, and Sun Daochang said, if I persist like this, it will only be a loss of vitality. The old man is no longer suitable to be the prime minister, so he naturally has to consider the candidate for his successor. Although the next term is directly appointed by His Majesty, the old man's decision can also influence His Majesty's choice to a certain extent.

These days, the old man thinks about it, and only you are the most suitable to become the next prime minister. First of all, you have a good relationship with the civilian and military generals. As the prime minister, the first task is to regulate the relationship between the emperor and the officials. Secondly, you are the prince's master, and after the prince succeeds to the throne, you can still be the prime minister for a period of time, isn't it beautiful? ”

After speaking, Fang Xuanling looked at Leng Feng with hopeful eyes.

Leng Feng shook his head again and again: "How is it possible, you still don't know me?" It's okay for you to let me make suggestions in the back, especially the strategy of taking an unusual path, but if you let me take an official position seriously, I can't do it well. ”

Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "Fart, aren't you a good soldier book?" On weekdays, civilian officials serve as the secretary of the military department, and the generals do not listen to the arrangement at all, and even often clash. Since you became the secretary of the Ministry of War, even the most capable Cheng Yanjin is very honest, and he has no opinion on reducing the number of soldiers of the right guard. ”

Leng Feng scratched his head, Fang Xuanling's thoughts really made his scalp tingle. He never thought that one day, Fang Xuanling would come to make him the prime minister.

"Du Ruhui is also old, let's leave him out, can't the eldest grandson Wuji? and Chu Suiliang, he also has the potential to be a prime minister. ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head: "No, which dynasty do you think will let a relative sit in the position of prime minister?" A book is already the apex of the eldest grandson Wuji, no matter how high it is, it is inevitable that their family will be suppressed again. As for Chu Suiliang, Leng Feng, don't tell me you don't know, this guy has long formed a community of interests with the eldest grandson Wuji. Two people who advance and retreat together, what is the difference between you making Chu Suiliang the prime minister, and the eldest grandson Wuji being the prime minister? ”

Leng Feng sighed: "Fang Xiang, I'll just say it directly, with my identity as Master Cheng Qian, when Cheng Qian succeeds as emperor, retirement is my best choice." You are looking for me, it is really not appropriate. ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "The old man can't find a more suitable candidate to become the prime minister than you for the time being, if you have a suitable candidate, the old man will not pester you." ”

Seeing Leng Feng's reaction, Fang Xuanling understood, this guy just wanted to live a leisurely life, and being a secretary of the military department was already his biggest compromise to the imperial court, and if he went further, he would not agree.

Li Tai couldn't help but interject: "This king thinks that Di Renjie is very suitable, he and the imperial brother are senior brothers, and the relationship is not bad." ”

Fang Xuanling sighed: "Di Renjie does have the talent of prime minister, but his qualifications are insufficient, he may be able to become the next prime minister, but now he is definitely not good." ”

The sixteen-year-old Shaoqing of Dali Temple is already very appalling, how can he become the prime minister?

With his qualifications, he can't serve the public at all.

After answering Li Tai's suggestion, Fang Xuanling looked at Leng Feng with a smile: "You just admit it, for the stability of the imperial court, you are the most suitable to become the next prime minister." ”

In the turbulent place of the dark tide in the court, if there is no Dinghaishen needle, God knows what kind of wind and waves will be set off.

Now there is no strong enemy outside Datang, and it is powerful all over the world. The court united as one when the regime was difficult, and infighting became a common practice when it was stable, and that dynasty could not avoid it.

And now, Fang Xuanling feels that Leng Feng is very suitable to become this Dinghai Shen Needle.

Seeing the master's embarrassed appearance, Li Tai couldn't help but say loudly: "Fang Xiang, this king thinks that Zhongshu Ling Yang Shidao is also very suitable." ”

Hearing Li Tai's reminder, Leng Feng immediately reacted.

Zhongshu makes Yang Shidao's nature not bad, and his qualifications and prestige are enough, so he is indeed suitable to become a prime minister.

Fang Xuanling frowned and said: "It's not that I haven't thought about Yang Shidao, but he is the heir of the former dynasty Guan Wang, although the resume of the official is no longer held accountable to the previous dynasty, but it is inappropriate to let him serve as the prime minister." ”

Li Tai said leisurely: "If it was the Wude period or the early years of Zhenguan, you would have said something like this. However, now that it has been 20 years since Zhenguan, the influence of the previous dynasty should have dissipated a long time ago, right? ”

Leng Feng also said: "Yang Shidao is quite suitable, his age is not young, with him as a buffer zone, the next generation of talents who graduated from the Academy of Literature are almost among the important positions in the court, not to mention anything else, Zheng Cheng, Wang Xuance and others, but they all have the talent of prime ministers." ”

Picking up the next paper, Fang Xuanling said helplessly: "I can see it, you just don't want to let business press on yourself!" Well, when the old man is ready to say goodbye, let His Majesty consider Master Yang! ”

Seeing that Fang Xuanling had changed his mind, Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the prime minister is majestic, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is stomping his feet and trembling all over the world in the court. However, the prime minister is also the king of the pot.

Between the emperor and the civil and military officials, no matter which party has a big fault, it is generally the prime minister who bears it.

Zhenguan's court is certainly stable, but Fang Xuanling has also been deducted several times.

What's more, Leng Feng is really not interested in the prime minister. When Li Chengqian succeeded to the throne, he was ready to retire.

The Leng family, even if they don't occupy an official position in the court, can still stand tall in the world.

With the addition of Fang Xuanling, the grading speed of the paper is much faster.

In just two and a half days, the three of them graded all the papers of this class of graduates.

After writing a score of "ninety-three points" for the last paper, Fang Xuanling stretched his waist: "Finally finished the evaluation, this year's graduates, it really shocked the old man!" ”
