Chu Suiliang, the patriarch of the two dynasties, was dragged out of the court in embarrassment, and the prime ministers in the palace knew that if there was no accident, Chu Suiliang would never want to enter the hall of this political hall again in his life, and he might not even be able to return to Chang'an City, the power center of the Tang Dynasty, in this life.

The upstart faction Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others were full of excitement, this was a very meaningful victory, which showed that the veterans who were high in the past were just paper tigers who were strong in the outside. Chu Suiliang fell, and how long the remaining few could hold on, it would be their world in the future.

Yuwen Jie's eyes showed the pride of revenge, although as the prime minister, he should not have been such a small weapon, but when he was a servant, he was not less hurt by the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, the pair of partners, last time it was not the emperor's protection, so now he is the governor of Tanzhou.

Li Ji and the eldest grandson Wuji were silent, and as important ministers presiding over the government, the two of them behaved average today.

"Your Majesty, since Chu Suiliang has been dismissed and demoted, then the post of Zhongshu Ling is vacant, and Zhongshu Province cannot be without a chief for a day, and please choose your majesty to be virtuous as soon as possible." Xu Jingzong struck while the iron was hot.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the left and right servants of Shangshu Province were the heads of the prime ministers. But at the beginning of the last year of Zhenguan, the left and right servants were weakened, and Zhongshu Ling became the leader of the dragon. Chu Suiliang was kicked out of the court, and Zhongshu ordered this important position to be vacant, who didn't stare at it?

Xu Jingzong's current position is Zhongshu Shilang, who is the deputy official of Zhongshu Province, and he can't wait for himself to go further. Even if he becomes the eldest grandson Wuji, who knows the second province of the Zhongshu Order, and Li Ji, who knows the book, then he can still rank third among the prime ministers.

However, Li Zhi obviously has his own plans.

"Sun Wuji, the chief of the Taishi, inspected the school and served in the school, and was crowned the governor of Yangzhou."

"Taiwei Li Ji inspected the school and ordered the school to be crowned and the governor of the state."

"Yu Zhining moved to Shangshu Province to shoot the left servant, and Xu Jingzong moved to Shangshu Province to shoot the right servant."

·······

The unexpected appointment, which had not even been consulted with the prime ministers in advance, was thrown out suddenly, and it was clearly an unchangeable meaning.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji are still the prime ministers of the third rank under the Tongzhongshu Sect, but the two have two important titles missing from the official ranks, one is the second provincial affairs and presiding over the government under the Zhizhong Shumen of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the other is Li Ji's Zhishang Shushu Provincial Affairs and presiding over the imperial government.

Zhi is a term appointed by officials in the Tang Dynasty. There are many forms of words used in the appointment of officials in the imperial court, such as worship, grant, removal, relocation, transfer, advancement, debasement, filling, examination, inspection, etc., and different words represent different meanings.

For example, it means that he is also in charge of a certain official position, and if he is not worshipping, he is appointed by the edict, and if he has no position, he cannot be known by the edict to other officials.

What does it mean?

It means that the official position is preceded by a knowing word, which is equivalent to not a formal appointment, but just a concurrent position, and this kind of appointment is not through the formal procedures of the court, but by the emperor's edict, which can bypass the process of the political hall and the ministry.

Knowing Shangshu is equivalent to concurrently serving as the official position of Shangshuling, but it is not equal to the official position of Shangshuling. Knowing the book and the two provinces under the door, and taking charge of the affairs of the two provinces, but it is not equivalent to the Zhongshu order and the servant. This is a part-time job appointed by Li Zhizhao, and the two also have their own duties.

Now, neither of them has the position of governor.

Li Ji is the inspection of the school in the book order, the inspection of the school, at this time is the meaning of the agent, not the official book order, is the acting book order of the position, compared to the knowledge of the book to save trouble, this is also different. Although it is not a formal official position, it is not a part-time job, and the inspection of the school also has to go through the political affairs hall.

The eldest grandson Wuji is no longer in charge of Zhongshu and Menxia Province, and he is now only acting as the governor of Menxia Province, only in charge of one province.

The presiding officer title on the heads of the two of them before is also gone.

Now, theoretically speaking, the two prime ministers, Changsun Wuji and Li Ji, are the same as the eight prime ministers in other political halls, and no one is higher or lower.

This is equivalent to returning to the past practice, but at this time, the restoration still reveals a different meaning.

"Commandment."

Li Ji did not hesitate and stepped forward to thank him for the order. The lord is not in charge of the government, he actually doesn't care, and from knowing the book to the school to inspecting the school Zhongshu order, he has changed a provincial supervisor, but the power is actually greater, after all, it is now dominated by Zhongshu Province.

The emperor asked him to preside over the government in the first place to balance the eldest grandson Wuji, how could Li Ji not understand.

However, the eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a while, and he did not come forward to thank him.

From being in charge of the three provinces when Li Zhigang ascended the throne, to now becoming a school inspector, the eldest grandson Wuji's mood is complicated. The old man Chu Suiliang had just fallen, and he was also arranged.

"The minister Xu Jingzong thanked him for receiving the decree." Xu Jingzong saw that the eldest grandson Wuji had been silent, and he was a little impatient to step forward to thank him for receiving the order.

Shangshu's right servant is always better than Zhongshu Shilang, the right servant is the governor of Shangshu Province, Shilang is only a secondary official, and there are two Shilang in Zhongshu Province, can this be the same?

Li Zhi saw that the eldest grandson was slow to answer, and asked, "What is the opinion of the Taishi?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji came back to his senses.

'Your Majesty, the position of Metropolitan Governor has always been held by the prince Yao, and the ministers dare not hold it. ”

There are forty-one governor's mansions in the Tang Dynasty, all of which were set up in critical places. The governor was in charge of the soldiers, horses, equipment, city gods, town guards, grain stores, and chief judges of the government. The duty is to get on the horse to manage the army, and get off the horse to manage the people.

In terms of power, the power was extremely great at the beginning, which was handed down from the system of the Sui Dynasty's governor's office.

There are 41 prefectures, of which there are five major prefectures, with Lu, Yi, And, Jing and Yang as the major governors.

Li Zhi asked Li Ji and the eldest grandson Wuji to serve as the governors of Yang and Dadu, but in fact, they were only Yaoling, because it was impossible for these two people to go out of Beijing to serve as prime ministers, and like other Dadu governors, they were led by the prince Yao, that is, they were just named.

This is all a common practice, but the eldest grandson Wuji wants to refuse under this excuse, in the name of refusing to serve as the governor of the capital, in fact, he refuses to accept the emperor's adjustment of his official position.

"Taishi, the position of the governor of the capital has always been led from afar." Li Ji seemed to kindly remind, but he was actually telling him that in the current situation, whether you want to or not, this matter has not changed.

In the political hall, there are still ten prime ministers, and after Chu Suiliang was dragged out, the current power balance between the veteran faction and the nouveau riche faction is four to six. At the same time, this is an adjustment proposed by the emperor, with the full support of the upstart faction, what is the difference between the eldest grandson Wuji and disagree?

It can be said that one wrong step and one wrong step, in today's court, the eldest grandson Wuji has no advantage.

Yu Zhining also stood up at this time to receive the order and thanked him, and accepted the appointment of moving from the servant to the left servant of Shangshu. Not long ago, he was still a right servant, and he was moved to a servant, and he was transferred back to Shangshu Province a few days later. Yu Zhining didn't say much, although he was also a veteran, he was obviously a little different from Chu Suiliang.

He accepted the order at this time, and left the eldest grandson Wuji alone.

The next meeting of the prime minister of the political hall successfully passed the new adjustment of the prime minister, and at the same time passed the decision to demote Chu Suiliang, as well as the investigation of the crime of Su Gan Chengji, hanging his body at the gate of Chang'an for three days, and beheading Zhao Zhiman in Lantian Guanzhen to show the public.

He didn't commit suicide, and he still had to pull the body out and hang it on the head of the city. And Zhao Zhiman didn't end well, and he was cut in half!
