After Li Yungang stepped down, Du Rui still stayed in Mingtang.

The sun falls gently, the four corners of the Ming Hall are lit with incense burners, there are unknown aromas burning slightly, and the faint aroma lingers in the Ming Hall, which plays a calming role, making people unconsciously get rid of restlessness.

Du Zhen sighed.

Although a wanted warrant was issued, he had no hope that Yan Wu would be wanted or killed, and now the two wanted warrants in heaven and earth are basically decorations, but they are just telling those officials that the wanted object is extremely dangerous, if you don't have two brushes, and you don't want to use someone else's head to dye your black gauze hat, it's best not to come forward, even if you find it, you shouldn't see it.

In the Taizong period, even if a grandmaster-level martial artist committed a crime and provoked the Du royal family, Taizong would also send a master of Tiance Hall to capture the wanted object or kill him on the spot.

This is especially true of the Tianhou Dynasty, when the Queen of Heaven is in the court, like the sun and the moon in the sky, all the family valves and sects have been suppressed to the point of silence, and some sects have even issued a mountain closure order, not allowing disciples to travel down the mountain.

Where is it like now!

Du Zhen looked at Du Rui and couldn't help but be distracted.

Datang Qilin'er?

There are some things that he will only bury in his heart, and it is impossible to confide in anyone.

For Du Zhen, his plan has been very smooth, in the middle, although something went wrong, in the end, he returned to the right path, and now, everything is going according to plan.

What happens in the future?

We'll see!

Just as Du Zhen wanted to talk to Du Rui, someone outside was shouting loudly.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang of the Privy Council asks to see you!"

The messenger is the chamberlain.

Although the prison department is a yamen, he does not obey the orders of any adult in the court, they are just the emperor's minions, but the ministers, therefore, Li Yungang himself shouted outside the palace to meet him, and the Privy Council is a minister, and he must be passed on by the inner servants.

Privy Council Zhang Qingchen?

The official system of the Tang Empire is three provinces and six ministries, which is not much different from the ancient Tang Dynasty in Du Rui's previous life, however, the Tang Empire has a Privy Council, a Privy Council in charge of military aircraft, and it is similar to the Song Dynasty in Du Rui's previous life, and the empire also has the position of left and right prime ministers, which is similar to the ancient Han and Tang Dynasties, and its power is no less than that of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, if the imperial power is strong, like the Taizong and Tianhou dynasties, the prime minister's authority is insufficient.

At that time, the queen of heaven even promoted the scholars of the academy to be prime ministers, and changed the rule that officials who were not born in the first class of gate valves could not be prime ministers, and in the face of the queen of heaven's strength, those gate valve families did not even dare to put a fart.

At the beginning of the Divine Sect, the prime ministers on the left and right must be from a first-class gate.

According to the usual practice, the left prime minister must be from the Kansai gate valve and circulate among the four major families, and the right prime minister must be a Kanto native and promoted among the six major families, without the slightest accident, otherwise, it will not be possible to stabilize the court.

After Du Zhen ascended the throne, he wanted to change his routine, but he encountered unprecedented pressure.

For a period of time, he could only vacate the left and right prime ministers, and compete with the civil and military officials of the court, and after delaying for half a year, the two sides made their own compromises.

The first left prime minister under his command was the Guo family, and the right prime minister was the Boling Cui family, who was closer to the royal family.

Zhang Qingchen is a native of Shandong and Linzi.

Although Linzi Zhang failed to enter the first grade, but he is also a second-grade gate valve, Zhang Qingchen is from Bailu Academy, to a certain extent, he is a person from Du Zhen's side, and if Zhang wants to enter the first-grade gate valve, he must have Du Zhen's support.

Therefore, Du Zhen arranged Zhang Qingchen in the Privy Council to take charge of the military aircraft.

However, Zhang Qingchen is not a privy envoy, but a privy deputy envoy, he is more like a chess piece planted by Du Zhen in the Privy Council, and now, the army of the Tang Empire is gradually becoming warlordized, and the emperor can only command a small part of the Shence army!

The Privy Council is in charge of military affairs, and this Qingchen is considered a temporary audience, could it be that the front line is in an emergency?

Some time ago, Guo Yuqi's eldest brother Guo Fei, under the urging of several gold medals, led the army to leave Hedong and marched towards Bingzhou to resist the Hu army that was herding horses south.

Du Zhen couldn't help frowning.

Ling Hu Xingzhi's gaze fell on Du Zhen, and after seeing Du Zhen nodding, he shouted outside the hall.

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce the visit of Zhang Qingchen!"

Zhang Qingchen walked into the Ming Hall with his head held high, and came to the throne, about four or five zhang away from Du Zhen, he stood still, helped the official hat on his head, which was not crooked at all, and reached out to dust the official uniform that was not stained with dust, and then bowed to Du Zhen, and only straightened up after bowing ninety degrees.

He looked to the side, saw Du Rui, and stopped talking.

Du Rui glanced at Zhang Qingchen, in this way, this person was like being entered into the file by the computer, diving into the heart lake very clearly, and disappearing for the time being, however, as long as the thought turned in the future, it would reappear vividly.

This is an official in his thirties, dressed in the service of a second-class officer, with a red-crowned crane embroidered on the front of the official robe, and a pearl suspended above the crane's beak, the official robe is crimson, the red-crowned crane is blue, and the pearl is white.

He has a face that is not angry but powerful, with a face like a heavy jujube, thick eyebrows and deep eyes, and between looking forward to it, he is brilliant.

After glancing at Du Rui, he turned his head, bowed to Du Zhen, and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, for major military affairs, please avoid irrelevant people!"

The so-called irrelevant people, etc., naturally refers to Du Rui, not the former governor Ling Hu Xingzhi, every time he meets and talks about military affairs, Ling Hu Xingzhi is there, and sometimes, the emperor will even listen to Ling Hu's opinion.

Du Zhen glanced at Du Rui and was about to wave his hand to signal Du Rui to leave, but he quickly changed his mind and said casually.

"Although Handan Jun is young, sooner or later he will have to contact the government and politics, so it's okay to listen to it!"

Since the emperor said so, Zhang Qingchen didn't have a second word.

The so-called direct ministers are not against the emperor in everything, asking the emperor to follow what he thinks, such a guy is just a person who sells fame and reputation, and sells his name.

Of course, this is the sour rotten scholar cultivated by the Confucian way of Du Rui's previous life.

There is also Confucianism and Taoism in this world, however, it is not a Confucian unity, and there are not many people who seek fame like that, but scholars like Zhang Qingchen and Chen Anmin from the academy also have their own Tao, and the Tao of Bailu Academy is very different from that of Hengqu Academy.

Hengqu Academy pays attention to the ancient and etiquette, and requires the whole world to be respected and humbled by the rules of the upper and lower levels, and pays attention to the farmers and businessmen, the government and the common people, each with its own duties, each in its own way, everyone only does what they should do, and everyone gets the rewards they should receive.

The core of Hengqu Academy is unchanged, and it is the promotion of manor culture.

Bailu Academy is different, Bailu Academy pays attention to the time shift of the world, everything must change with the general trend, everything is flowing, therefore, the rules must also flow with it, and everything flows with the general trend.

The avenue is like flowing water.

There is no certain distance between changes and changes.

Therefore, between Hengqu Academy and Bailu Academy, it is not only a dispute between Kansai and Kanto, but also a dispute between avenues.

Take Zhang Qingchen and Chen Anmin as examples, both of them are Du Zhen's confidants, but they never greet each other when they meet, they only provoke each other with their eyes, and their eyes are as wide as the demon slaying King Kong in the Buddha Hall.

Since the emperor has spoken, Zhang Qingchen will also treat Du Rui as if he does not exist.

There was a hint of joy on his face, not the kind of ecstatic joy, but the kind of joy that received a letter from home thousands of miles away or saw a friend he hadn't seen for many years, faint, not obvious.

Du Zhen sensed this joy, and his heart was relieved.

The Tang Empire is like a house leaking everywhere, and most of the news that reaches the court every day is not good news, either Huma goes south, or the towns of Hebei provoke the imperial court, or the drought in the south of the Yangtze River, the great water in Shuzhong, and the Hui people in the Western Regions march eastward and arrive at Yumen Pass...... In short, it is these bad news every day, which makes Du Zhen very anxious.

This Buddha incense from the purple bamboo forest in the South China Sea, no matter how calm it is, it can't solve this anxiety!

Zhang Qingchen reciprocated good news.

Guo Fei led the Anbian army from Hedong, and the forward Ruifeng battalion met with the Hu people's forward in the area of Jinyang Prefecture, and there was a skirmish, the Ruifeng battalion had 3,000 foot cavalry, and the Hu people also had 4,000 or 5,000 people.

It was a narrow battle, and there was no temptation, and neither side set up camp.

This kind of battle is actually beneficial to the Hu people who don't pay much attention to the formation, after all, the Hu people are all one person and two horses, pay attention to coming and going like the wind, disrupting the battle, and fighting the encounter battle is the ability to watch the family.

However, the Ruifeng battalion defeated the Hu people in one fell swoop.

The head of the Ruifeng battalion is Captain Yingyang Guo Qilin, who is Guo Fei's eldest son, in the unfavorable situation, Guo Qilin led hundreds of guards to rush into battle, killed the Hu people's captain in one fell swoop, cut off the Hu people's banner, and broke the Hu people's Chinese army, so that the tide of the war was reversed.

Zhang Qingchen received this good news, the good news that the Jingbian Army gave Guo Qilin and a cadre of officers to repay their merits.

At this time, the Anbian army also arrived in front of Yanmen Pass and confronted the Hu army.

Guo Qilin?

Du Zhen sneered in his heart.

The general who killed the Hu people and the captain was really Guo Qilin?

No matter who has made this great achievement, this credit can only be placed on Guo Qilin's head, this is the benefit of the family lineage, the entire Tang Empire, even the most important military achievements, are also manipulated in the hands of the family gatekeeper!

In the long run, how to get it!

Du Zhen knew this, but he could only turn a blind eye.

Zhang Qingchen came here, not only this military report, but then, his expression changed, and there was a little more melancholy.

"Your Majesty, Lord Feng Qi, the commander of the Jingbian Army, is seriously ill!"

Zhang Qingchen said in a deep voice.

For a while, Du Zhen was speechless.
