Chapter 443: The Stars Shine

The next day, Xue Shao got up early in the morning and went to the court.

His mood was full of anticipation and some unquenchable excitement, which felt like waiting for the final selection results after participating in the special forces training camp that year.

is still wearing the embroidered clothes, Xue Shao has attracted the attention of many people. The day before yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor announced in public at the court meeting that Xue Shao was allowed to wear the abolished Huadian embroidered clothes to come to the court. It is a common mentality of people not to suffer from a small number but to suffer from inequality. Therefore, although the matter is not big, it has attracted a lot of discussion and attention because Hua Tian's embroidered clothes have become a "privilege" that belongs to Xue Shao alone.

Xue Shao didn't know these idle words, he was eager to know what kind of change today's court meeting would bring to himself and Datang. From the day he received the order of "blind date" and just set foot in Chang'an, Xue Shao has been working hard to change his fate. But going around and around, he never seemed to be able to break free from the shackles of fate, and he was always the same as the "vase horse" in history.

Therefore, Xue Shao is extremely eager that today's court meeting is a turning point in his life. If you can become a general with real power and gain a firm foothold in the military circles, it will be possible to truly grow and grow in the future. Like now, he will always live under the protection and arrangement of Wu Zetian...... Xue Shao really couldn't think of how he could change his fate!

The court meeting began, Li Zhi did not come, and it was still Wu Zetian who presided over the court meeting. She left the beaded curtain and sat down under the dragon chair.

She was only one step away from the dragon chair.

Xue Shao's loose official product is a civil official, so he is among the civil officials. At today's small court meeting, the officials who came to the court had cushions to sit on, and Xue Shao sat in the middle of a bunch of middle-level civil officials. If it weren't for this alternative Huadian embroidered suit, he wouldn't be eye-catching.

After talking about some government affairs, Wu Zetian said that there was an important official adjustment and appointment, and then the eunuch began to read it out.

As a result, the first letter of appointment read out made the hearts of the Manchu civil and military capitals feel a pang - surprise!

Cui Zhiwen, who had just taken office and had just taken office, was removed from his official position and reappointed as the third subordinate of Tongzhongshu, and he was still the governor.

In other words, Cui Zhiwen is still a member of the Prime Minister's team in the Political Affairs Hall, but his status has been lowered slightly, and he is no longer at the same level as Zhongshu Ling Xue Yuanchao. This also realized that Xue Yuanchao had restored his absolute leadership position in Zhongshu Province, and what changed his direction was to get promoted.

At the same time, Xue Yuanchao was also appointed as the right concubine of the Prince's East Palace, and Pei Yan was appointed as the left concubine of the Prince's East Palace.

"Left and right concubines" are important officials in the left and right Chunfang of the Prince's East Palace, which is equivalent to the official positions of the subordinate servants and Zhongshu Ling in the establishment of the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court.

In this way, Xue Yuanchao and Pei Yan also served as the important function of assisting the prince.

Most of the ministers understood in their hearts that although this appointment was only a "fine-tuning" of personnel and did not completely change the pattern of the court, Xue Yuanchao's status was really greatly improved. Xue Yuanchao, who had just failed in the political struggle, is now on an equal footing with Pei Yan, the servant of his door, again. It is not difficult to see from this that His Majesty the Emperor must feel that Pei Yan is really too inflated now, and he must be contained. Xue Yuanchao's ascension is obviously the embodiment of His Majesty's will!

Xue Shao couldn't help but think of his wedding day, Wu Zetian deliberately asked him to invite Xue Yuanchao in "Shuanggui". At that time, Wu Zetian had already expressed some jealousy of Pei Yan. Therefore, it is not difficult to speculate that today's personnel fine-tuning of the prime minister's team must be the common opinion and joint efforts of the two saints. Otherwise, with Li Zhi alone, it would be difficult to pry the alliance between the Queen of Heaven and Pei Yan.

It can be seen from this that although there are many contradictions and disputes between the two saints, they are still very united on some principled issues and can reach a consensus. This seems to be the most important way for the couple to get along over the years!

As for appointing Xue Yuanchao and Pei Yan as important officials of the East Palace respectively, it is not surprising. Because the Tang Dynasty has always had the practice of the prime minister concurrently serving as the official position of the East Palace, assisting and teaching the prince. But if you think of Li Zhi's physical condition and the current political situation, it is not difficult to think that Li Zhi has a little intention of "arranging the future" - he hopes that these two important prime ministers can assist the crown prince Shun Lì's succession, and then become the right-hand man of the new monarch!

Xue Shao couldn't help but think of the first two prime ministers of this dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang - couldn't Li Zhi have suffered enough from the ministers of Gu Ming and wanted his son to taste it?

Soon Xue Shao thought about it, in addition to entrusting Gu to these two prime ministers, who else could Li Zhi use? Could it be that he can still entrust carte blanche to the diva? …… If I were Li Zhi, I would have been so entangled that my eggs hurt!

At this time, the second important personnel appointment of the court meeting began to be announced, and the white-haired Xue Rengui stepped forward and knelt down to receive the order. Just as Li Zhi promised at the court meeting the day before, Xue Rengui officially restored the title of county duke, and the official worshiped the general Sanpin and concurrently served as the acting governor of the state.

The god of war of the Tang Dynasty has returned, and the pattern of the army has changed as a result. In Beijing, there are left and right Yulin Wei generals Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing are the first of the sixteen Wei generals, defending the imperial city to protect the middle palace; Outside, in view of the unstable situation in the north, where war may break out at any time, there is an important border commander Xue Rengui to preside over the military in the north and guard the country against foreign enemies.

Careful people have already tasted it, Xue Rengui and Xue Yuanchao were both born in the Xue clan in Hedong, and both of them were promoted. Does this mean that His Majesty the Emperor wants to use the power of the Xue clan to balance the combined forces of Pei Yan and the Queen of Heaven?

Xue Shao thought to himself, the Tang Dynasty practiced a gate valve government, and it was common for the emperor to control the power between the families. Balance the power of the vassals so that they are evenly matched, and the emperor can control them. still responded to that sentence - the emperor's mind is doing tricks!

"Xue Shao takes the order!" The eunuch's sharp and transparent voice suddenly sounded.

Xue Shao suddenly woke up and went out to worship, "Minister Xue Shao, take the order!" ”

"Emperor Decree of the Tang Dynasty—"

As the tone of the eunuch rose, everyone's attention in the court was focused on Xue Shao. Xue Shao, who knelt on the ground to receive the decree, was pounding, and listened carefully to the content of the holy decree word by word.

“…… Xue Shaocexun was awarded the lieutenant of the light car, exempted from his own literary and scattered officials, and was reawarded the rank of the fourth-rank military officer Zhongwu General, and was named the founding earl of Hedong, and was reappointed as a member of the military department as a member of the inspection school military department. Chin this! ”

"Minister Xue Shao is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Xue Shao shouted impassionedly, and his heart was boiling!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty let out a small burst of exclamation-Xue Shao is really on the rise now!

It is not surprising that the captain of the light car is a fourth-rank officer, and it is more of an honor. But after returning from the last Northern Expedition, Xue Shao was not awarded the title of Honor, that is to say, his military exploits were not recognized by the imperial court, and anyone would be very aggrieved. Now, the imperial court has finally given Xue Shao justice!

As for the title of Founding Earl of Hedong, this is nothing to Xue Shao. After all, he was originally a relative of the emperor, and now he is married to Princess Taiping, plus he has a brother who has become a prince of the country, and adding another earl by himself is at most just icing on the cake.

Among this appointment, the most important thing is to change Xue Shao's official character to the title of "Loyal General" of the fourth rank of the military officer. This means that Xue Shao will be a real general from now on, not a pseudo-general who sells dog meat on the head of a sheep. In the future, Xue Shao's treatment and promotion evaluation in all aspects must be carried out according to the standards of military generals, relying on military merit rather than political achievements - that means that Xue Shao's roots have been rooted in the army; He will have more opportunities to participate in militaristic affairs and wars!

Of course, many people pay more attention to Xue Shaoxinbai's "Yulin Thousand Riding Zhonglang General". The official of this four-rank lieutenant general is not particularly big, and there is still a big gap compared to the general of the Sixteenth Guard. But its function is so special!

The history of Qianqi can be traced back to Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. At that time, Li Shimin selected 100 sergeants who could ride and shoot well and had outstanding martial arts in the Beiya Forbidden Army, and their main task was to accompany him to hunt and practice archery, and sometimes also take into account the functions of some personal bodyguards. This hundred elite horsemen wore five-flower robes and rode six idle horses to accompany the emperor, and were known as "hundred horses" at that time.

After Emperor Li Zhi came to power, he formed the left and right Yulin Army, so that they were independent of the twelve guards of the imperial court, and became their own private soldiers, specially used to guard the palace, known as the "Imperial Forest Army". Subsequently, Li Zhi followed his father's example in selecting elite soldiers from the Yulin Army, giving them five-flower robes and six idle horses, and expanding the hundred horsemen to "thousand horses".

Since then, Qianqi has become an important member of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. Although it is subordinate to the Yulin Army in terms of establishment, and the commander of the Thousand Cavalry is also known as the 'Yulin Thousand Cavalry Zhonglang General', in fact, the Thousand Cavalry is relatively independent, and they do not even need to rely on the allocation of the Yulin Army in terms of finance and armament. Now, the generals and generals of Yu Linwei rarely directly interfere in the internal household affairs of Qianqi, because Qianqi directly accepts the leadership of the emperor alone!

In other words, Xue Shao has now become an important force in the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, the emperor's elite private soldier - the supreme commander of the "Thousand Cavalry"!

- The military power is in hand, the side of the emperor!

In addition to being slightly lower in rank than General Yulinwei, Xue Shao's actual functions are already on a par with Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing!

It's not a smooth move, what is it?

Xue Shao's seat was moved from the civilian train to the military general train on the spot. He hadn't been so excited in years as he was today, and he had forgotten how he sat back. When he just came back to his senses, he found that two seats around him were empty, and Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen also went out to take orders.

The last letter made Xue Shao overjoyed again.

This time, the emperor helped Xue Shao dig a corner, and Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen, who had previously served as Wupinlang generals in the left and right Yulin guards, were also transferred to Qianqi with Xue Shao, and were appointed as the left and right generals of Yulin Qianqi, and became Xue Shao's right-hand man. Xiao Zhizhong was promoted and appointed as the chief of the thousand cavalry. Others, such as Li Xianyuan, Su Wei and Lu Siyi, all served as civil and military officials of Qianqi.

Xue Shao is in the civil and military team of the Martial Arts Academy, and almost all of them follow Xue Shao and parachute thousands of horsemen!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty seem to have seen that in the north of the palace, a group of young generals are rising, shining under the sky of the Tang Dynasty!.
