readx; The expansion of the phase is expected by everyone, two years ago when the crown prince was abolished, the East Palace Party Pei Kuan, Lu Jian and Dugu Haoran three Xiangguo, soon, Li Qingan counterattacked Yang Guo during the inspection of Henan Province, Cui Qiao lost the phase, which made the nine phases become six phases, Xiangguo Party, Yang Party, Zhang Party each occupy two seats, can be described as evenly matched, but last year Chen Xilie had signs of defection to Yang Guozhong, coupled with Li Linfu's body is weak, everyone knows that the time is ripe to reorganize Xiangguo, so today Li Longji announced the expansion of the phase, None of the people expressed surprise, the key is who can enter the phase. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Wang Heng is inevitable, now the Xiangguo Party is weak, only Li Linfu is left, as the successor, Wang Heng will inevitably enter the Xiangguo Party and take over the banner of the Xiangguo Party.

Li Longji glanced at everyone and said slowly: "I have always thought that the political hall should be the most suitable for the nine phases, but due to various reasons, now there are only six phases left, resulting in many Aiqing here holding two positions, on the one hand, it increases the fatigue for everyone, and on the other hand, the power is too centralized, which is inappropriate, so I thought about it for a long time, so I took the opportunity of today to readjust it and expand it to ten phases, Li Xiangguo." ”

Li Longji looked at Li Linfu, Li Linfu hurriedly got up and said, "The old minister is here!" ”

Today, Li Longji expanded his appearance, and mentioned it to Li Linfu once in advance, at that time, it was Li Linfu who proposed Wang Heng to serve as the Zhongshu squire, but was vetoed by Li Longji, he said that he had another candidate, and Li Linfu guessed that Li Longji was going to expand his appearance today, but he didn't expect that there would be four people, one was naturally Wang Hui, so who would the other three be?

Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Xiangguo is not in good health, please sit down!" ”

After Li Linfu sat down, Li Longji continued: "I want to ask Li Xiangguo to give up the post of secretary of the military department first. ”

"The old minister obeys!"

Li Longji smiled, and said to Chen Xilie and Yang Guozhong: "You are the same, Chen Aiqing gave up the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Yang Aiqing gave up the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, so that the three Shangshu plus the Zhongshu Shilang are a total of four places." ”

He glanced at Wei Jiansu and said, "Wei Aiqing, I am going to appoint you as the secretary of the military department, do you have any ideas in your heart?" ”

Wei saw that Su was overjoyed, although he was a powerful household servant, but in fact he was constrained by Yang Guozhong everywhere, he had no power, and let him be the secretary of the military department, which was to free him from the state of powerlessness, which made him overjoyed.

"Obey the order!"

Wei Jiansu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, which can be regarded as a small victory for Yang Guozhong, although Ling Hufei is the right squire of the Ministry of War, but where is it comparable to the weight of the secretary of the Ministry of War, but Yang Guozhong is a little worried, who will the squire of the Ministry appoint?

Li Longji seemed to know his thoughts, and continued: "Ling Hufei was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Officials, Ji Wen turned to the right, and Huayin County ordered Pei Min to take over as the left head of the Ministry of War. ”

Pei Min is the original Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he was deposed because of the East Palace case, his promotion can be understood from several aspects, he is the son of Pei Yaoqing of the former Prime Minister of the country, with a prominent family background, and the pillar of a famous family, he is the squire of the military department, and it can be regarded as making up for Pei Kuan's retirement After the retreat, the Pei family's power gap in the high-level of the imperial court is both unexpected and reasonable, but this Pei Min was originally a member of the East Palace Party and Li Qing'an's wife's uncle, which made Yang Guozhong a little unhappy in his heart, fortunately, the servant of the Ministry of Officials is his person, and the secretary of the Ministry of War is also his person. A soldier has little influence, and he doesn't pay too much attention to it, but Li Linfu has a slight understanding in his heart, Li Longji's appointment of Pei Min may be a signal, and he is waiting for the good show in the future.

Li Longji saw that everyone did not object, so he said: "Okay! The following is to announce the candidates for the new Xiangguo, the first one is the imperial historian Wang Hui, I am ready to appoint him as the secretary of the criminal department, what do you think? ”

This appointment was expected by everyone, according to the order of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, the empty three Shangshu were soldiers, criminals, and workers, and Wei Jiansu was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of War, and gave the secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to Wang Jue, which is exactly this reason.

Therefore, no one spoke to object, everyone was waiting for who the other three were, these three people will be related to the power balance of the political hall and the pattern of the imperial court, so the atmosphere in Qifeng Pavilion is extremely tense.

"The second person, I am going to appoint Lingling Taishou Li Xian as the Zhongshu squire, what do you think Aiqing thinks?"

Li Xian is the predecessor Jing Zhaoyin, the grandson of Wu Wangke, who was demoted to Lingling Taishou because he was implicated in the Donggong case, and now Li Longji suddenly used him, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Yun and Yang Shenjin exchanged a look, they both thought that Li Longji was going to appoint his own people outside the party to increase the middle force, and the clan candidate was the most suitable, especially Li Linfu was sick, and Zhongshu Province did not have a competent minister to support, which would cause Zhongshu Province to act poorly, Li Xian was outstanding, and it was reasonable to use him as a Zhongshu squire.

However, Yang Guozhong thinks that although Li Xian used to be a member of the East Palace Party, he has a good relationship with King Ying, which is very likely to create conditions for King Ying.

Only Li Linfu vaguely guessed Li Xian's comeback, which is very likely to be related to the emperor's eldest grandson's entry into the East Palace, Li Longji's appointment of him should be to make preliminary preparations for Li Jiao's entry into the East Palace, which is the same as Pei Min's squire in the military department, but it is not enough, he is silent, waiting for Li Longji's next person.

Sure enough, when Li Longji announced the third person, Li Linfu immediately confirmed that his idea was correct, and the third person turned out to be Gwangju Governor Shi Weilian, that is, one of the backbones of the Donggong Party who was deposed because of the Donggong case.

'Wei Lian is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry! ’

Wei Lian's comeback shocked everyone present, this is the most obvious signal, the East Palace Party, which has disappeared for two years, has begun to appear again, if Dugu Haoran came back because of some special circumstances, and Wei Wei's comeback is by no means so simple, whether it is Zhang Yun, Chen Xilie or Yang Guozhong, a thought jumped out of their minds at the same time, Li Heng wants to re-enter the East Palace.

Although it is a little incredible, but the fact is here, the two people of the East Palace Party are going to make a comeback, isn't this a harbinger of Li Heng wanting to re-enter the East Palace?

Zhang Yun quickly glanced at Li Linfu, and saw that his expression was calm, as if he knew it first, and he had some doubts in his heart, did Li Linfu already know that Li Heng would make a comeback? But if Li Heng wants to make a comeback, Li Linfu should never be so calm during this time, maybe it's something else? Zhang Yun was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't dare to say more.

Yang Guozhong couldn't sit still, of course, Wei Jian was driven away by him from the position of Yizhou Taishou, and Cui Yuan was used to make Yizhou Taishou, if Wei Jian entered the phase, the first thing was to get along with him Yang Guozhong.

"Your Majesty, Wei Jian is too weak in Lingling, and his evaluation is not high, and he has not held an important position in Beijing, if he is appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, I am afraid that the ministers will not be convinced, and the minister's opinion is that he can be a squire first, and it is not too late to be appointed as a scholar after a few years of training."

Chen Xilie also said: "The minister agrees with Yang Shangshu's suggestion, after all, Wei Jian had the flaw of nepotism at the beginning, and His Majesty used him as the prime minister, and the minister was worried that he was not virtuous enough, so that the ministers were dissatisfied." ”

Yang Guozhong and Chen Xilie's opposition was expected by Li Longji, and before Wei Jiansu also participated in the opposition, Li Longji said arbitrarily: "Wei Lian is the prime minister, I have been thinking about it for a long time, so the two Aiqing don't have to worry." ”

At this time, there should be a fourth Xiangguo announced, but Li Longji seemed to forget, he looked at the clock leak, and said: "The time is almost up, I will say another thing, yesterday Yang Shangshu suggested that I send the prince to sit in the place, I thought for a long time, and thought that there is also something feasible, so I decided to adopt Yang Shangshu's suggestion, and appointed Yong Wang Ling as the observer envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao and the governor of Yangzhou, sitting in Yangzhou, supervising the grain transportation of Jianghuai, in addition, I also decided to appoint Rong Wangwan as the observer envoy of Hebei Province and Hedong Province, sitting in Xiangzhou, and inspecting two hundred officials; Shouwang Mao is the observer of Shannan Province and the governor of Jingzhou, sitting in Jingzhou, supervising Jingxiang's money and grain; Then he appointed Yingwang Jian as the observer envoy of Jiannan Province and the governor of Yizhou, sitting in Yizhou, supervising Bashu salt and iron, together with Qing Wangcong who sat in Anxi, a total of five princes went out of the town. ”

Yang Guozhong originally wanted to use this matter to test Li Longji, but he didn't expect that not only King Yong went to the place, but also King Ying was also transferred, he was dumbfounded, it turned out that none of the popular princes could enter the East Palace, so who would enter the East Palace? Could it be that Lee Hyung is really going to make a comeback?

Yang Guozhong may not have realized the serious surname of the prince sitting in the place, but Li Linfu and Zhang Yun are very clear that the prince is sitting in the place, which is a disguised feudal system, the rebellion in the early Han Dynasty and the death of the Western Jin Dynasty all originated from the division of the princes, although there was a brief division of the kings in the early Tang Dynasty, but that was because of the new dynasty, the prince was needed to consolidate the power in the place, and now it is the Middle Tang Dynasty, there is no need at all, and the division of the kings is the way to take chaos.

Although Li Linfu knew that this was Li Longji's decision to enter the East Palace for the emperor's eldest grandson, and put his sons in the place, this would sooner or later become the origin of the princes' separation.

Li Linfu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the prince sitting in the place is not conducive to the centralization of power in the imperial court, and it is the way to take chaos. ”

Li Longji has already decided on a matter that will not be influenced by others again, and he is just making a show of holding this meeting of the political affairs hall, and he will not listen to any objections to it.

He waved his hand and said: "Xiangguo is too worried, the four of them only exercise the right of supervision, and do not interfere in local military affairs, there is nothing wrong, I have made up my mind, don't oppose it anymore." ”

At this time, Li Longji slowly said his third major event: "The East Palace has been empty for two years, and if it continues to be empty, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to Sheji, so I decided to set up the East Palace again, and I have made a preliminary decision, the emperor's eldest grandson Yuyu is rich and profound, wide and able to decisive, benevolent, filial piety and courtesy, and must be courteous at every turn, and is deeply loved by me, and I decided to make the emperor's grandson the prince." ”

When everyone was unprepared, Li Longji suddenly threw out this decision, and it was like a thunderclap on the ground, and everyone present except Li Linfu was stunned.

"The time has come, let's return to Hanyuan Palace! Continue the pilgrimage. ”

After Li Longji finished speaking, he strode out of the door, and at this time, a loud bell rang from the square of Danfeng Gate.

.......... "Long live my emperor, long live!" ”

Everyone shouted long live, Li Longji nodded, "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" ”

"Your Majesty has a decree, all the officials will return to class and continue the court meeting."

The court meeting continued, after Li Longji announced three major events in the political hall, his heart was much more relaxed, in fact, whether it was to expand the prime minister or the prince to sit in the place, it was Li Longji who had thought about it for a long time, he knew that the emperor's eldest grandson was not as good as his son, and under the watchful eye of so many imperial uncles, his throne would be extremely difficult, and only by strengthening his power was the way to protect himself, and gradually restoring the original Donggong Party was one of the important means.

Secondly, through a year of observation, he found that among the prince's sons, Qing, Di, Rong, Yong, Ying, and Shou, the six princes, were the most ambitious and had a deep influence, so he decided to decentralize these six people to the local area and cut their influence in the central court.

And Yang Guozhong's suggestion was just a coincidence, just so that he could get an excuse, but it was not enough, the emperor's eldest grandson also needed the support of a strong local warlord, and this person was Li Qing'an, the leader of the Donggong Party.

Li Longji looked at the jade in front of him, the following is Li Qing'an's reward, as Gao Lishi said, Dugu Mingyue's matter will not affect Li Qing'an's career, Li Longji's reward for Li Qing'an has long been decided in the Huaqing Palace, carved into jade, although he didn't get Dugu Mingyue yesterday, which made him feel angry, but Li Qing'an's reward is related to the continuation and continuation of his Tang Dynasty, which is more important than the other, at a glance.

"Here's Li Qing'an."

Cui Ping immediately shouted: "Your Majesty Xuan Li Qing'an." ”

There was a slight twitch in the main hall, and finally it was Li Qing'an's turn, Li Qing'an strode out of the court, and came to the front of the jade step to give a deep salute, "Minister Li Qing'an to see Your Majesty!" ”

Li Longji smiled slightly: "Let Li Aiqing wait for a long time." ”

He coughed lightly, raised his voice and said: "Li Qing'an recovered the broken leaves, calmed the troubles of the Tuqi Shi, defeated the Great Food in the first battle of Talas, and restored the suzerainty status of my Tang Dynasty to the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms. ”

In the end, there was an uproar in the hall of this sealing order, which no one could have imagined, Shangshu Zuo Servant shot is actually a fictitious position, no real power, this An Lushan's School Inspection Department Shangshu, as well as Gao Xianzhi's School Inspection Department Shangshu, has no special significance, just a higher grade, but with the Zhongshu Door under the Ping Zhangshi but his Shangshu Left Servant shot the thickest stroke, Li Qingan actually bowed to the prime minister, shock, jealousy, envy, surprise, all kinds of expressions burst out in the eyes of the courtiers, no one can deal with it calmly.

Even Li Linfu was taken aback, and he suddenly realized, it turned out that Li Longji said that the fourth Xiangguo turned out to be Li Qingan, what did this mean? He thought about it for a moment and understood.

Although Li Qing'an entered the prime minister, he was far away in Anxi, and actually did not participate in the decision-making of military affairs, and had no impact on the affairs of the imperial court, but the significance of entering the prime minister itself was very far-reaching, he not only surpassed An Lushan and Gao Xianzhi, and became the first person to make the festival, and he was the leader of the East Palace Party, and his entry into the strength of the emperor's eldest grandson will play a vital role, plus the previous Li Xian, Wei Lian, Pei Min, so as to ensure that the East Palace Party of the emperor's eldest grandson is the first force in the imperial court, and then there is an alliance between Li Qing'an and Wang Heng, so that and invisibly connected the Donggong Party and the Xiangguo Party through Li Qingan.

This is the purpose of Li Longji's arrangement for Li Qing'an to enter the prime minister, which can be said to be the finishing touch, which is really clever, so he will send King Qing to sit in Anxi to restrain Li Qing'an, who is in power, which is an interlocking relationship.

Li Qing'an's entry not only surprised Li Linfu, but Yang Guozhong and Zhang Yun were also shocked, but Li Qing'an's entry was already difficult to separate the hearts of the two, just now Li Longji announced that the emperor's eldest grandson was the prince The news has been echoing in their hearts for a long time, making it difficult for them to calm down, they have realized that the court pattern will undergo major changes, where will they go?

But the biggest influence is several festival envoys in the court, An Lushan, Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, they are also a competitive relationship to a certain extent, who is the first section of the Tang Dynasty, Ge Shuhan will not say it, he didn't even seal the county king, no matter how dissatisfied he is, the key is Gao Xianzhi and An Lushan.

They are also the kings of the county, although Gao Xianzhi is a little higher than An Lushan in terms of loose officials, but the Shangshu of the School Inspection Department is a little lower than the Shangshu of the School Inspection Department, so the two of them are a delicate balance, and Jiannan is not an important town in the Northeast after all, and it cannot be compared with Fan Yang in terms of resources and troops, so to a certain extent, An Lushan is still the first, but Li Qing'an's worship is like a sideout, which makes Gao Xianzhi and An Lushan stunned.

Gao Xianzhi felt a little sour in his heart, Li Qing'an was his old subordinate, and he was a rising star he picked up, but he didn't expect him to surpass himself in the end, although his heart was sour, but he was still happy for Li Qing'an, Anxi reached such a height under his leadership, and the Anxi soldiers had gained, which made Gao Xianzhi, who was born in Anxi, feel both relieved and a little regretful, after all, it was not he who brought the Anxi army to glory.

And An Lushan is very different, he only has jealousy in his heart, boundless jealousy, Li Qing'an got the position he dreamed of, to be able to worship the prime minister, but he doesn't have to leave Anxi, what he is most afraid of is to be transferred to the imperial court, but what he desires the most is also to enter the imperial court as a minister, the two seem to be very contradictory, and it will never be difficult to reconcile, but such a contradictory thing is perfectly integrated in Li Qing'an, An Lushan's heart is unbalanced, and the jealous eyes are staring at Li Qing'an without concealment.

There was a whisper in the hall, Li Qingxin's joy of being crowned king came suddenly, and then disappeared suddenly, bringing the sky full of doubts about entering the phase, as if seeing flowers in the fog like doubts, for him, it is not a fortunate thing to enter the phase, it is very likely that Li Longji seized his military power, but he didn't have time to think about Li Longji's intentions, nor did he have time to think about his own countermeasures, he immediately bowed down and thanked him: "Minister Li Qing'an Xie Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Li Longji looked at Li Qing'an and said slowly: "Your eyes tell me that you have something to say, say it!" I want to hear it. ”

Li Qingan knew that his momentary doubts just now were discovered by Li Longji, and he was crowned the king and worshiped the prime minister, what a beautiful thing this is, his eyes should be excited and ecstatic, but he has no ecstasy, but he is confused and suspicious, which will make Li Longji vigilant, how to answer him.

Li Qing'an thought turned extremely quickly, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a request to get His Majesty's consent, only some hesitation whether to say it or not!" ”

"What's the matter? You said. ”

"The minister heard that the envoy of Prince Dashi has arrived in Chang'an, and the minister knows that it is extremely important to come to the envoy, and the minister is willing to receive the envoy, please ask Your Majesty for permission!"

"I thought it was a big deal, but it's just a small matter, I'm right!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Qing'an slowly retreated, Li Longji kept watching him enter the court, and then he put down Li Qing'an's matter and said loudly to the ministers: "Next, I want to announce three major events!" ”
