Shi Bufan didn't expect that someone wanted to come out and cut off his beard? This person is still Tang Jian, and this Tang Jian actually came out to oppose it. This Tang Jian's position is the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is equivalent to the ancient department of managing diplomacy, etiquette, sacrifice, reception, and some educational functions, and it is a department with little power and little oil and water. In ancient times, the words "rich, poor, and mighty" were used to describe the six departments, among which the rich and noble naturally only had money in the household department and the officials had the power. The cheapness in the poor, in fact, the project done by the Ministry of Industry is a cheap industry, but the Ministry of Industry has oil and water, you must know that the transportation construction system in later generations is a corruption disaster area, not to mention ancient times? This poverty can show that the Ministry of Rites is a poor yamen, a clear water yamen, and there is not much power, and there is not much money. And mighty is actually the criminal department that manages punishment and the military department of the army. The real power of the Ministry of Rites and the oil and water are ranked last among the six departments.

However, this Tang Jian actually took the initiative to oppose him, which made him very depressed. No matter how good people are, they are also the third grade masters. In addition, the relationship between Tang Jian and Li Tang is very close, Tang Jian's father and Li Yuan used to be "old colleagues and old friends", so Tang Jian can even be said to be Li Shimin's brother, and he has always had a good relationship with the Li family. And Tang Jian can be regarded as having some ability, but he has a very huge shortcoming, and this shortcoming happens to be understood by Shi Bufan.

"Tang Shangshu, what do you have to say?" Shi Bufan asked.

And Tang Jian took the initiative to answer: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that to discuss this matter with the Turks, it is necessary to send a person with a high enough official position to represent it." If I send a petty official of the ninth grade, will it make the Turks mistakenly think of the sincerity of my Datang? Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to send a high-ranking official and dignitary, so that the Turks could believe in our sincerity, and then let them fall for it. If only a petty official is sent, then the Turks may not believe it, and they will also suspect that there is some conspiracy! Therefore, the minister thought that the minister would personally go to talk to the Turks about this matter, which would make the Turks believe in my Datang's words, so that they could fall into this trap and then contribute to my Datang. ”

"The minister's words are not for himself, but for my Tang Dynasty!"

Many people present slandered: "Who doesn't know that you are a guy who loves to be famous?" ”

Shi Bufan shook his head secretly, this kind of Tang Jian, this kind of person Shi Bufan has seen a lot, this is actually a kind of bureaucratic style since ancient times. Tang Jian, although he still had some ability back then, and he had a certain credit when the Tang Dynasty was established. But he has a fatal flaw, that is, "lazy government". This Tang Jian is very lazy in handling official business, almost unwilling to be busy, he is the kind of person who wants to enjoy the benefits of high-ranking officials, but does not want to be too busy. From the later Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin punished him several times because of this Tang Jian's greed for enjoyment and passive sabotage. This Tang Jian is an official on weekdays, but he is greedy for lust, but he doesn't want to deal with government affairs, and he is a representative of a lazy worm.

This kind of person says that he is corrupt, but that is not necessarily. But this guy is very passive in dealing with government affairs, he is willing to push and push, he is not willing to take the initiative to work, he is not willing to be busy, but he hopes to be able to enjoy it in peace. This kind of guy is a typical empty salary, and he is an absolute guy who eats and doesn't work. This is the most helpless, obviously capable, but greedy for enjoyment, unwilling to contribute. Coupled with the old qualifications, they have followed two generations of emperors, and no one dares to do anything to them.

"It's really a person who has ascended to heaven, and such a guy can completely cure him for a crime of dereliction of duty. is actually an old official who goes to the honor when he sees it, and lets him go to work when he sees it, this kind of person will be masturbated sooner or later! Shi Bufan scolded in his heart.

Almost everyone present knew that this Tang Jian was an old official, and he had no other normal skills, but he was serious about observing words and feelings. This old guy was actually good back then, but after the world was unified, he enjoyed it comfortably and didn't want to do things. I saw a lot of this kind of official oil back then, because he had seen a lot of it in a famous school back then. This kind of age is older, the ability is relatively limited, and the relationship with the boss is not far or close. It is difficult to go further, but if you can't go up and down, such an official is the most pathetic.

Everyone knows that Tang Jian's current ability is obviously not good, although he seems to have a little ability, but compared to Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui, it is much worse. Moreover, his age is the same generation as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui is Li Shimin's cronies, and he has always followed Li Shimin. On the contrary, although Tang Jian has some credits, more of them are meritorious services in the Li Yuan era. And whether he is in terms of ability or closeness to the emperor, he can't compare with Fang Du. But the saddest thing is age, he and Fang Du are people of the same era, unlike Shi Bufan, who has the advantage of being young. This kind of old guy is stuck there at his age, and he can't go up or down, so they all have the idea of slacking off, thinking about the sound of dogs and horses, instead of working hard.

"This guy saw the honor and saw that my plan could succeed, which is a huge achievement. Such a situation where you can obtain a lot of wealth without spending a single soldier, and then use it to fight the Turks, this must be very good. If this plan is successful, it will be enough to go down in history, and even such a huge credit will benefit his descendants. Tang Jian seems to want to think about future generations, like them, old officials who can't go up and down, and they are all about fifty years old, naturally think about future generations. Since they are all about to retire, what are they doing if they don't think about future generations? This guy is actually the same as Pei Ju, but Pei Ju wants to make me owe me a favor by helping me speak. However, this Tang Jian wanted to cut off the beard and directly snatch the biggest credit, so that he could eat a lot of money, so that his descendants could get more legacy. This Tang Jian is obviously not as good as Pei Ju in terms of life, and his size is not as accurate as Pei Ju. However, Pei Ju is indeed a powerful diplomat and strategist, and Tang Jian is obviously far inferior to Pei Ju in this regard. Shi Bufan made a judgment on this Tang Jian.

Shi Bufan thought about it for a while, and probably knew how to deal with this Tang Jian, since this Tang Jian was a bureaucrat who had honor and coveted this kind of thing, he knew how to deal with this kind of bureaucrat. Since this Tang Jian has reached this age, he can't go up or down, he is naturally very sensitive. This kind of "lame duck" politician who has lost his future is the most emotional, and he cares very much about what others think of him, so Shi Bufan knows that for this kind of person, he can't directly hard top, but must slow down.

Anyway, this Tang Jian doesn't have a few days of good life, and in a few years, he will be secretly lowered by Mingsheng to let him go, this is for sure. Li Shimin, this kind of passive and slacking guy, will probably not stay, but there is no need to offend him.

"Tang Shangshu's words are reasonable!" Shi Bufan took the initiative to say.

Everyone was surprised that Shi Bufan would say that. Shi Bufan actually gave this great achievement to Tang Jian, which is really surprising. Who doesn't know that if this plan succeeds, the future will be a great credit, and who doesn't blush? But Shi Bufan actually gave it to him, which simply gave him this big political capital, which was not good for Shi Bufan.

However, Tang Jian was overjoyed, Shi Bufan actually gave him most of the credit? This means that Tang Jian will be the first credit in the future, although everyone knows that the real planner is Shi Bufan, but if Tang Jian can be the main "leader", he will take most of the credit first. If Shi Bufan disagrees, then this Tang Jian will inevitably turn his face against Shi Bufan. Tang Jian is also afraid that if he does too much, what will he do if he picks on him? At that time, Tang Jian didn't know how to deal with the specific details of this plan, which was troublesome. Tang Jian not only wants to grab credit and accumulate political capital for himself and future generations, but he is also worried that if Shi Bufan rebounds too much, then both of them will be embarrassed.

However, Shi Bufan actually gave most of this credit to him, at least nominally, which means that his future benefits are limitless. So Tang Jian knew that he owed a favor this time, but he had to owe a favor. Such a great achievement is enough to leave a name in history, and after he retires to Zhishi, he will rely on this credit to eat, and even be able to take care of his descendants. So Tang Jian had to show his face to grab the credit, and he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was in charge of foreign affairs.

However, Shi Bufan not only did not rebound, but supported him, which is a favor. I have to pay it back in the future, even if I can't pay it back, my son will have to pay it back in the future.

"I'm just a Jiupin school scholar, and Tang Shangshu is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, so naturally he can better represent my Tang Dynasty. Therefore, sending a high-status talent can win the trust of the Turks, and Tang Shangshu is just right. And Tang Shangshu has a high status and can be qualified for this important task. And I can be the interpreter of Tang Shangshu, I still have some research on Turkic languages, so I can be the interpreter! Shi Bufan said.

Hearing this, Tang Jian was even more overjoyed, because the things he was most worried about had also been solved. Tang Jian now also hopes to take credit, but he is also afraid that this plan will not be able to be implemented when he leaves. So he wanted to take credit, but he was also worried about what would happen if he annoyed Shi Bufan? But now Shi Bufan is not only willing to help him, but even takes the initiative to act as his Turkic translator, which can solve most of the problems. Therefore, Shi Bufan's approach is equivalent to giving him most of the credit, and when the time comes, the world will praise him for a "sharp mouth" and say that he has retired more than 100,000 Turkic troops!

At that time, Tang Jianke and his ancestor Candle Zhiwu said that he would retreat from the Qin army, and like his predecessor Tang Ju with the same surname, he persuaded the King of Qin not to encroach on Anling Kingdom with one mouth, which created the reputation of Tang Ju and Candle Zhiwu. Of course, Tang Ju must be mostly fictional, but the people of the world believe it! If Tang Jian can persuade hundreds of thousands of Turks to withdraw from the army with a sharp mouth, he will not come to this world in vain in his future life, which can be regarded as leaving a strong mark.

He knows that it is difficult for him to improve in his career in this life, which is not only known by others, but also known by himself. Isn't he just pursuing to leave a name in history at this time, and can he have such a great achievement to pave the way for his descendants? But Shi Bufan gave him this opportunity and took the initiative to complete it for him, which is not a big favor. The favor of leaving a name in history, how rare this is, it is not easy to be a prime minister. There are many prime ministers and emperors in China, but how many can be really familiar? Therefore, between the famous deeds in history and being the prime minister, I am afraid that many people choose the latter, especially the ancient literati. A great feat is enough to eat for several generations, but a prime minister's position can be lost at any time, so many people choose the latter.

"Since this is the case, then Tang Jian is the main one, and you will act as the interpreter! However, Tang Jian, you should listen to the advice of Shi Xiaoshulang, and don't mess around! Li Shimin said.

"Command!" Shi Bufan and Tang Jian said together.

This time it was Shi Bufan and Tang Jian who reached an unanimous deal, Shi Bufan gave this opportunity to leave a name in history to Tang Jian, who was already old, but Shi Bufan got the real credit. Although it may be that Tang Jian will be the main historical record in the future, he just needs to let the people here understand that it is his own credit, which is also the actual benefit.

Tang Jian wants fame, Shi Bufan wants profit, and Tang Jian also owes Shi Bufan a big favor, so both parties have each obtained what they need, so reaching a political deal in this way is considered complete. Although the two sides tacitly agreed, who didn't know this tacit understanding in the officialdom. So there are actually such deals, so that both sides take what they need and can cooperate very well. Tang Jian knew that his future was almost gone, so he naturally didn't want to fall out with Shi Bufan, who had a promising future. And Shi Bufan doesn't want to leave a reputation for bullying the elderly, so that other old ministers will also die of sorrow.

After all, in officialdom, it is also necessary to "respect the old and love the young", and those who do not respect the old will not respect you when you are old. But if you don't "love the young", then after you retire and go to the tea and cool, people will have a way to clean you up. Haven't all civil servants been like this since ancient times? Rather bully the old than the young, Tang Jian understands this very well, and Shi Bufan also understands this, so the two sides quickly took what they needed, and the transaction was completed.
