[It's a little late today, sorry!] 】

Summer goes to autumn, autumn goes to winter solstice, and in a blink of an eye, the New Year of Xingning is coming. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Since the end of the battle of Lingwu County, the wars in various parts of the world have ended, the Sui army occupied Lingwu County and did not continue to go south, Zhang Xuan appointed Li Qingming, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, as the Taishou of Lingwu County, Li Jing as the governor of Hetao and the envoy of Hetao Tuntian, led 50,000 troops to carry out military cantonment in the Hetao area, waiting for the opportunity to go south.

A dramatic scene appeared in Yan'an County, Song Jingang and the Tang Dynasty reached a compromise after some arduous negotiations, Song Jingang accepted the Tang Dynasty canonization, was named the king of Yan'an County by Li Yuan, allowed him to command an army of 30,000, and the Tang Dynasty provided money and food supplies, as a condition, Song Jingang agreed that Yan'an County was reincorporated into the Tang Dynasty's territory, and the Tang Dynasty appointed Taishou and other officials.

But this is only a nominal belonging, in fact, Song Jingang is still a warlord, commanding his own 30,000 elite soldiers, and his sphere of influence includes Yan'an County and the southern part of Diaoyin County.

For the Tang Dynasty, the temporary pacification of the Song Jingang Rebellion also helped them turn their attention to the east and south.

There are still two days before the New Year, and the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, with families busy preparing sacrifices, cleaning houses, erecting long poles, and posting door charms.

Ziwei Palace is no exception, in previous years, the New Year of Ziwei Palace was relatively deserted, but this year, as the Qi Wang's family moved into the palace, the New Year's atmosphere of Ziwei Palace has also become very strong, as early as ten days ago, the eunuchs began to hang lanterns, and the palace maids gathered together to cut spring flowers.

Before dawn, Zhang Xuan was woken up by his wife Pei Zhizhi in his sleep, he sneezed heavily, and slowly opened his eyes, only to find Pei Zhizhi standing at the head of the bed with a smile and a thin dog tail grass in his hand.

Zhang Xuan was angry and funny, hugged Pei Zhizhi, Pei Zhizhi screamed, and was dragged to bed by her husband, Zhang Xuan gently patted her jade buttocks twice, and pretended to be angry and said: "Playing tricks like this, husband, aren't you afraid that I will correct you on the spot?" ”

Pei Zhizhi lay on her husband's chest, gently scraped her husband's neck with her fingernails, and laughed softly: "I just passed the Fa-rectification last night, why did I have my thoughts again?" ”

Zhang Xuan's heart fluttered, and he turned over and pressed her under him, and at this time, the personal maid outside the door whispered: "Fourth lady, the princess is still waiting in front!" ”

Pei Zhizhi suddenly put away her coquettish attitude, and hurriedly sat up, she kissed her husband's face again and said with a smile: "I will get tired of eating every day, go eat Wu Niang tonight, and serve my husband well another day, and then serve my husband well, now I will wait for my husband to get up!" ”

After speaking, Pei Zhizhi got up and walked out quickly, bringing the fragrant breeze all over the house, Zhang Xuan put his hands under his head, although it has been almost half a year since he returned to Zhongdu, but the war with the Turks seems to have happened just yesterday, and the vastness of the expedition to the Hetao seems to be still emerging in front of him.

"Husband, didn't you say that Ziwei Pavilion has important matters today?" Pei Zhizhi reminded him with a smile at the door.

Zhang Xuan smiled, turned over and stood up, he walked to the window and stretched a long waist, looking at his wife's plump and tall figure, he suddenly felt that his home was so beautiful.

........

At dawn, Zhang Xuan's carriage entered the imperial city of Ziwei Palace under the strict protection of a hundred cavalry guards, and on the steps in front of Chongyang Palace, Zhang Xuan unexpectedly saw Pei Ju who was practicing swords.

"Stop!"

The carriage slowly stopped, Zhang Xuan walked out of the carriage, and slowly came to Pei Ju's side with his hand, at this time, Pei Ju also saw Zhang Xuan, the sword momentum was retracted, and he smiled: "Let His Highness see and laugh!" ”

Zhang Xuan applauded and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Pei Gong was so old and his body was so agile." ”

Pei Ju returned the long sword to the guard, stepped forward and said: "I liked to practice swords when I was young, and when I was old, I had to practice every day, otherwise my legs and feet would not be able to walk. ”

The two exchanged a few words, and Pei Ju asked with a smile: "Is Your Highness going to Ziwei Pavilion to participate in the New Year's pre-meeting?" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, since the year before the previous year, every year before the New Year's holiday, the prime ministers have to focus on discussing some important matters of the next year, but they are only discussed in advance and do not make any decisions, so it is called the New Year's pre-meeting.

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "If you have time, you might as well participate together." ”

"I'm afraid it's not right for me to go." Pei Ju hesitated.

"Actually, it doesn't matter, the officials who participated were not only Xiangguo, but the elders could just listen together."

Pei Ju saw that Zhang Xuan didn't say it casually, but really invited himself to Ziwei Pavilion to listen, so he readily agreed, "Okay! Since His Royal Highness invited him, how could the old minister not accept the kindness. ”

"Then please get into the carriage."

Pei Ju was not polite, got into Zhang Xuan's carriage, and the carriage continued to slowly drive in the direction of Ziwei Pavilion.

Inside the carriage, Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "I heard that Gong Pei was going back to his hometown to participate in the clan sacrifice in the New Year, why didn't he go back?" ”

"Originally, I wanted to go back, but the people in the clan discussed that I was too old to travel long distances, so I decided to change the clan sacrifice to Zhongdu, so I didn't have to go back."

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "I see, it's the same as Su Xiangguo." ”

"Su Xiangguo has no choice, appearing Jingzhao as him is a bit inappropriate after all, he is more concerned about safety."

Zhang Xuan pondered and said, "There is something I want to discuss with the elder of the pavilion. ”

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"I want Pei Hong to be the Taishou of Danyang County, what does Pei Gong think?"

Pei Ju thought for a while and said, "Did he bring it up himself?" ”

"It's my own consideration, Li Qingming has been transferred to Lingwu County as the Taishou, and I also want Pei Hong to go to the state and county to have a good experience, and it just so happens that Song Zhengben, the Taishou of Danyang County, was transferred to Liang County, so I will consider letting him go to Danyang County."

Pei Ju agreed, "If you don't live in Lizhou County, how can you enter the provincial Taiwan, he needs to go to the place to learn governance, I have no opinion, but what is his own attitude, has His Highness talked to him?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "He insists on going to Mayi County or Wuyuan County, and it is best for the Pavilion Elder to talk to him." ”

Pei Ju smiled slightly: "Hard work, Fang shows the true character of a man, His Royal Highness will fulfill him!" ”

Since Pei Ju also supported his eldest grandson, Zhang Xuan no longer insisted, nodded and said, "Okay!" Let him go to Mayi County, where there is really a lot of waste to be done! ”

"That's exactly what he wants!"

The carriage slowly stopped in front of Ziwei Pavilion, and the ministers who came to participate in the New Year's pre-meeting all arrived, in addition to the seven ministers, there were also various Shangshu, the temple supervisors, and the high-ranking officials of the Yushitai and the Qi Palace, a total of more than 20 people.

Everyone was sitting in the chamber whispering and talking about their bills, when a guard shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has arrived!" ”

The hall suddenly quieted down, only to see more than a dozen guards with knives surrounded by Zhang Xuan walked in quickly, everyone got up one after another, welcoming His Royal Highness the Prince Regent inside, Zhang Xuan has already moved into the palace, everyone knows in their hearts, only the name is different, Zhang Xuan is actually the son of heaven in the Northern Sui, but if Zhang Xuan officially ascends the throne, Zhang Xuan must first change the country name, and the country name of the Northern Sui Dynasty will remain unchanged for one day, and Zhang Xuan will always be the regent.

But when to change the name of the country and when to ascend the throne, this is not something that the ministers can decide, everything is decided by Zhang Xuan himself, once Zhang Xuan feels that the time is ripe, then it will be a matter of course to change the name of the country and ascend the throne.

Zhang Xuan smiled and waved his hand to invite everyone to sit down, Pei Ju also sat silently next to Yu Shinan, the two smiled and nodded, Yu Shinan is an extremely stable person, even if he is strange in his heart, he will not show it.

The area of the council hall is equivalent to about 300 square meters in later generations, it is a square plane, and there is a large table in the shape of a hollow word in the middle, Jang Hyun sits alone in the northernmost part, and the other seven ministers sit in three directions, while the other chief officials sit on the periphery, there is a table in front of each person, their seats are not fixed, they sit at any time, these chief officials are observers, that is to say, they can only listen, but cannot speak, unless they have permission to express their opinions.

Ziwei Pavilion is not serious, everyone is more relaxed, there is a break and tea time, and there are special maids to serve tea for them.

Today's host is Li Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, he saw that the tea maid had retreated, so he gently knocked on the cloud board, and the lobby was quiet, Li Gang smiled and said: "Today is the New Year's pre-meeting, everyone is prepared, so according to the old rules, start with the military, Your Highness, please!"
