Seeing the chatter in the court, Tang Yizhi waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Then he first looked at Yang Feng and said: "Prime Minister Yang doesn't have to be arrogant, as many adults said just now, Prime Minister Yang is not old, how can he resign at this time?" Datang still needs you very much! ”

Tang Yizhi's words have already set the tone for this matter, and everyone believes that Yang Feng will stay in this position for a long time until it is absolutely necessary!

When Yang Feng heard this, he didn't say more, but bowed to Tang Yizhi again, and then stepped back.

At this time, Tang Yizhi looked at Bai Jianfu.

"As for Mrs. Bai, I worked hard for Datang at the beginning, if I suddenly retreat now, I really can't bear it!"

Tang Yizhi said with a sad expression.

However, as if he had made up his mind, Bai Jianfu immediately replied: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but what the old minister said is true!"

Your Majesty also knows that the old minister has been in his position for many years, and he also has deep feelings for the position of the old man, if it weren't for the fact that the old minister was too old and felt that he was already a little incapacitated, he would not take the initiative to resign no matter what he said! ”

After Bai Yanfu finished speaking, Tang Yizhi did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought.

At this time, the following gossip began.

"Mrs. Bai has been an official for more than 40 years, and he has really done his best for the Tang Dynasty!"

"Yes, Mrs. Bai has been like a day for forty years, which is the luck of the Tang Dynasty!"

"If Mrs. Bai no longer holds the position of Mrs. Bai, it will be a pity - it's just that if Mrs. Bai resigns, who should be in charge of the position of Mrs. Bai?"

The people in the court were there to say anything, but looking at it, the people who spoke were all civil officials, and they were all minions.

The real big names didn't move their mouths, and the people in the military general's camp, led by Mo Guogong, were even more unmoving.

It turns out that there is an unwritten rule in Datang, regarding the appointment of personnel in the court, it generally involves people from the civilian camp, and people from the military camp will not interfere, and similarly, if it involves the affairs of the military general's camp, the civilian camp will not interfere either.

As the saying goes, the river water does not violate the river water.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!"

At this time, a loud voice came, and it was Jia Zhengjing, a scholar of the current dynasty, who spoke.

After getting Tang Yizhi's permission, Jia Zhengjing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, for what Bai Taifu said just now about stepping down from the post of Taifu, Wei Chen listened to it, and his heart was also extremely uncomfortable, after all, even if Wei Chen has been an official in the palace for more than 20 years, it is also Bai Taifu who has grown up little by little!"

There are many people like Weichen, and we all have great reluctance and favor for Mrs. Bai! ”

Jia Zhengjing said emotionally and sincerely, but Mo Guogong on the side pouted when he heard it: Are you stupid when we are all stupid?

If Bai Jianfu is really as good as Jia Zhengjing said, why did Bai Jianfu say that he was going to resign just now, no one came forward to dissuade him, but instead went to comfort Yang Feng?

From this, it can be seen that these people are just talking about it, and they really have feelings for Bai Yanfu, but it's all nonsense!

Jia Zhengjing took a breath and continued: "Even if Weichen is reluctant to give up Mrs. Bai, sometimes he has to bow his head to the years!" Mrs. Bai is indeed old, and letting Mrs. Bai continue to be an official may also make Mrs. Bai feel tired!

Therefore, Weichen felt that there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Bai's request, and after Mrs. Bai retired, he could enjoy a more comfortable and relaxed life, and Mrs. Bai would definitely be more satisfied! ”

After Jia Zhengjing finished speaking, all the civil officials were also silent.

They thought about what Jia Zhengjing said just now, and it seemed to make a lot of sense!

If it's really good for Bai Gradual, it's better to fulfill him directly and let him retire!

Tang Yizhi seemed to have gone through careful consideration and a period of heavenly handover, before he looked at Bai Jianfu and said, "Mrs. Bai, have you really decided?" ”

Bai Taifu nodded to Tang Yizhi, then bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" The minister has already decided! ”

Tang Yizhi said again: "Although I am also very reluctant to Mrs. Bai, as Mrs. Bai said, if Mrs. Bai continues to be an official, it will be too tiring to Mrs. Bai, so let Mrs. Bai take a break!" ”

These words undoubtedly agreed to Bai Jianfu's application for resignation.

When Tang Yizhi's words came out, everyone began to think about it again, Bai gradually retired, who should take his place?

However, as ministers, they naturally can't ask at this time, but have to wait for Tang Yizhi to say.

Sure enough, Tang Yizhi thought for a moment, and then asked Bai Jianfu: "Mrs. Bai, since you have resigned, the position of Mrs. Bai is vacant, I wonder if you have any candidates to recommend?" ”

"Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the minister often feels that the Tang Dynasty is the young Tang Dynasty, and courtiers of such an age like me are no longer suitable to continue to be officials, and the court should be younger, so the ministers hope to take over the position of the ministers are young talents!"

Bai Jianfu did not directly name him, but said that he hoped that a young man would take his place.

The ministers also fell into deep thought when they heard this, who should be the young talent?

You must know that none of the people who can stand here in the early dynasty are young, at least they have passed the age of not being confused, with only two exceptions, that is, Mo Ye and Tang Yizhi himself.

At this time, Jia Zhengjing, who had just spoken, stood up again.

"Your Majesty, there is a candidate for Weichen, I don't know if I should talk about it."

"Since Jia Aiqing has a candidate, it doesn't hurt to say it!"

As soon as Tang Yizhi's words fell, Jia Zhengjing took over and said: "Yang Zexin, the grandson of Prime Minister Yang, is a leader in the younger generation of Jingzhou.

Moreover, Yang Zexin is from the home of Prime Minister Yang Cheng, which can be described as a scholarly family, and the inheritance is just right! Weichen thought that if Yang Zexin could take over Mrs. Bai's position, it would be excellent! ”

"Your Majesty, no!"

At this time, Mo Guogong, who had not spoken, couldn't sit still.

He has always disliked Yang Zexin, especially in the previous repeated meetings with Zhang Twelve, Yang Zexin touched a gray nose, and was finally punished by the first emperor with "immortal and not allowed to enter the office", how can he be an official now, and he is still such a high official position as a Taifu?

"Your Majesty, the first emperor said that Yang Zexin would not be allowed to enter the government for eternity, but now it doesn't seem appropriate to make him an official at this juncture, right?"

Mo Guogong said what he thought in his heart, Tang Yizhi didn't reply, and listened to Jia Zhengjing on the side: "Mo Guogong's worries are simply superfluous!"

Why did the first emperor make such a punishment in the first place? Isn't it because of the killing of King Xiang that he was angry with Yang Zexin? But after such a long time, we all know that the killing of King Xiang has nothing to do with Yang Zexin, and the punishment he received is simply a disaster! ”

After Jia Zhengjing finished speaking, the ministers in the civilian camp immediately echoed what he said, as if they had discussed it.

In their opinion, among the younger generation, only Yang Zexin, who is close to the age, can take on the position of Taifu.

Mo Guogong wanted to refute, but in this situation, Jia Zhengjing didn't seem to be wrong in what he said, he thought for a while before he said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yang is already in an important position, if Yang Zexin is the Taifu again, this is too unbalanced!" ”

Mo Guogong's worries are not non-existent, after all, the biggest official positions among civil officials are Taifu and Prime Minister, and if these two official positions are taken by the Yang family, it is really unreasonable!

At this time, Yang Feng stood up again.

"Your Majesty, the minister has always felt that the functions of the Taifu and the prime minister overlap a little, and it is a bit of a waste to set up two such similar official positions within the court! Therefore, the minister thinks that the position of Taifu and Prime Minister can take one of them, and the other can be abolished! ”

As soon as these words came out, the court instantly fell silent.

What Yang Feng said, everyone in the court knew about it, but no one dared to say it head-on!

The affairs that Taifu and the prime minister are responsible for are vague and confused, as Yang Feng said, because there is no clear boundary between the affairs under the jurisdiction of the two people, so some things can be found by Yang Feng, and it is also possible to find Bai Jianfu!

But because Yang Feng is a few years younger than Bai Jianfu, and because Yang Feng's subordinates are all over the government and the opposition, although the two have the same official positions, all the people in the civilian camp will think of Yang Feng as soon as they have something.

This is also the reason why everyone regretted Yang Feng's resignation just now, but they didn't have much regret for Bai Jianfu's resignation!

So many people think that it is good to choose only one of the two positions of prime minister and Taifu, as for which one to go, it is obvious that most people tend to abolish Taifu!

It's just that Yang Feng said it, will Bai Jianfu be happy?

What is surprising is that Bai Jianfu did not have a trace of surprise or anger, but continued to follow Yang Feng's words: "The old minister agrees with what Prime Minister Yang said, this Taifu and Prime Minister are the only ones left!" However, the old minister prefers to keep the prime minister! ”

After Bai Jianfu finished speaking, everyone cast appreciative glances at him!

Bai Jianfu's deep understanding of righteousness is convincing, although he has resigned, but this Taifu has been doing it for 40 years, how can he have no feelings?

Now that he has said the matter of removing Taifu, it is enough to see his mind!

……………………

Seeing that the two leaders of the civil official camp were so humble and righteous, the officials in the civil official camp were not only moved, but also angry at Mo Guogong's accusation just now!

Look, our two adults are so well aware of the righteousness, your idea is clearly to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!

So, someone said dissatisfiedly: "What Mo Guogong said just now is simply nonsense!" ”

"Yes, it will not be Prime Minister Yang himself who proposes to let Yang Zexin join the office, but Mrs. Bai, and this matter cannot be blamed on Prime Minister Yang Cheng!"

"But isn't it, speaking of which, General Mo Xie is the son of Mo Guogong, if it is mentioned by Mo Guogong, isn't this unreasonable?"

It turned out that what these people were talking about was what Mo Guogong reminded Tang Yizhi just now, if the Yang family has a prime minister and a prince, it is really a bit of a joke!

I never thought that these people would immediately come out with Mo Xie's official position to talk about it.

Mo Ye is not a vegetarian either, and when he saw someone saying that he was his father, he was reluctant at the time, so he stood up directly and said: "You are still civil officials, do you speak through your brain?" My father is a national prince, and I am just a second-class general, is it comparable?

And the positions of Taifu and Prime Minister are both official positions of Zhengyipin, can they be the same? ”

Mo Xie's words were reasonable, and after saying it, everyone really didn't find any point to refute.

But at this time, Mrs. Bai ignored the words of the Mo family's father and son, but looked at Tang Yizhi and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has a proposal!" It is better to let Yang Zexin follow the old minister for a period of time, and let the old minister help him get familiar with the affairs of the court. And although Prime Minister Yang is a few years younger than Lao Chen, he is no longer young, and after the past month, let Yang Zexin serve as Prime Minister! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees!"

Yang Feng also said.

Everything is going according to Tang Yizhi's assumptions, and looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, at least the civilian camp has nothing to say, as for the military generals' camp, who cares about their opinions?

looked at Master Mu who had been standing in the crowd without saying a word, and then asked, "Master Mu, what do you suggest about this?" ”

Master Mu didn't think about it, and said directly: "Everything is up to Your Majesty to decide!" ”

Master Mu is not stupid, he has seen everything that happened in the court today, and he can naturally see that all this is designed by these people, even if he doesn't agree, Yang Zexin's entry into the court will not change!

Since this is the case, there is no need for him to say any more objections, in that way, in addition to attracting dislike, it will not be of any benefit to the current Mu family!

"Okay, since Master Mu doesn't have any objections, then it's decided! Don't resign from Mrs. Bai's official position first, and from today onwards, Yang Zexin will follow Mrs. Bai for a while!

After Yang Zexin is familiar with everything in the court, when the time comes, Mrs. Bai will step down with Prime Minister Yang and let Yang Zexin be the prime minister! ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, the civil official camp under the court immediately patted their ass.

Tang Yizhi smiled and said: "I want to praise Mrs. Bai and Prime Minister Yang again, the two ministers have worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, even if they are no longer officials, they must consider for the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Mrs. Bai and Prime Minister Yang are righteous!"

Everyone immediately changed directions again and began to pat Yang Feng and Bai Jianfu's sycophants.

But Mo Ye on the side pursed his lips, and then sneered: These two old foxes have calculated more than anyone else, and they are still righteous?

Hehe, it's ridiculous!

The abdication of Bai Jianfu and Yang Feng seems to have suffered a heavy loss, but in exchange for the stability of the younger generation of the Yang family, Yang Zexin, in the court, and there is no accident, the Yang family will not have to worry about it in the next few decades!

What's more, Taifu is gone, only the prime minister remains, and the prime minister is equivalent to holding two positions, and his power is much greater than before!

From this point of view, as long as Yang Zexin can successfully enter the office, his power is greater than Yang Feng, and the status of the Yang family will definitely rise, which is a great good thing for the Yang family!
