"Edict, the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, choose good ministers to let them be; Jinglun world affairs, what does Shegancheng want? Cheng is talented and knowledgeable, and he is a great tool in the country; He is good at accounting, a capable minister who manages politics, and enters the political affairs hall to participate in political affairs on the same day. ”

A compromise that all parties could agree on had finally emerged. To participate in politics is to participate in political affairs, and the prime minister in the early years of the Tang Dynasty was given the title. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the governors of the three provinces were the prime ministers, but they were not easy to give people, and other officials were often added to the official title as the prime minister, and the governor's political affairs were one of the additional titles. It was no longer used after the middle of the Tang Dynasty. Now, in order to make Cheng Yi into the phase, this bonus title has been re-examined.

In the face of the emperor's strength, it is also a victory to demote Cheng Yi from Tongping Zhangshi to the governor of Tongping, so the appointment of Cheng Yi was passed in Shilin's muttering. On the surface, the turmoil has subsided, but in reality? The new faction that supported Cheng Yi believed that Cheng Yi's entry into the political hall was a victory, while the opposing old faction believed that the edict only praised Cheng Yi's talent, but did not mention Cheng Yi's virtue, and he could use it to make a fuss at any time in the future, and he was also comforted psychologically.

In the courtyard of a deep house, a big man with an unrecognizable face instructed his children:

"You go and reply to that lord, Your Majesty will not think about the heir in one day, and everything will be decided by Your Majesty's decision."

The disciple was surprised:

"Father, how can this be? Haven't you always been reluctant to publish your position? Wouldn't this make people think that you are on the side of the prince, and that lord will inevitably hate my family. Besides, this time to prevent Cheng Yi from entering the phase, that master was in the middle of the dispatch, and the credit was great, it was much better than the prince's unclear position. ”

The big man sighed:

"I didn't know that this lord could glorify my family more when he ascended the throne, but in the current situation, this lord can't fight for the prince. It seems that our family and other families can benefit from supporting this master, but if it fails, our family will be doomed. ”

Seeing that the children were going to say more, the big man continued to teach:

"Didn't you see what happened this time? It seems that the businessmen were grateful for Cheng Yi's proposed regulations, and they set up for him to carry him into the picture, but Shilin was dissatisfied and opposed it. But in fact, although the merchants are now more daring to speak than before, they do not have the courage to manipulate the cabinet. It's all about it. The emperor's current strength is even greater than that of the Ming Emperor, and if he disobeys the will of the emperor, he is afraid that he will eventually catch fire. A Cheng Yishilin can't compete for the emperor, let alone the prince? ”

"But Cheng Yi still didn't enter the phase in the end."

The disciple finally understood, but still argued unconvinced, albeit with some helplessness. The big man finally accentuated his tone and said:

"Participating in political affairs is to enter the prime minister, although the names are different, is there any difference in real power? Cheng Yi's participation in politics is also a palm print! You Lao Tzu and I have been up and down in the sea for so many years, and you can only look at the province, and you are still laughing at Cheng Yi for just participating in politics. You are the head of the next generation, are you entangled in these empty names? If so, how can they afford to be the clan? ”

The child said in fear:

"That's not what the child meant, how can he compare with his father as a profit-seeker? The child knew he was wrong. ”

The big man's tone calmed down and said:

"You, Mencius, it's better to believe in books than to have no books, you read too much and are framed by books. What happened to the profit-seekers? If there were no profit-seekers like Cheng Yi, where would the country have the money to raise the army to the west? If my family does not have these deacons to pursue profits for us, how can we support such a large family and afford a large number of children to embark on official careers? You have to remember that whether it is for a country or a family, all kinds of people are like the stars in the sky, although some are brighter, some are darker, some are in the middle, some are on the four sides, some are never moving, and some are rotating in four seasons, but each one has its own place, and no one is missing. Although profit-seekers are not elegant, they really can't do without them. Let's take you as an example, if there are no these profit-seekers, how can you give the top girl in the Qin Tower a night pearl imported from Xingqing? ”

The disciple's face turned red, sweat broke out on his head, and he said in shock:

"Father, you know everything? The child is wrong, the child knows that it is wrong to waste the family's money, and the child is thinking about getting the beads back? ”

Big Shot Airway:

"How can you get back what you give to others, you can really say it! Isn't it a joke to be known to be out of the way? ”

Seeing his son's pitiful appearance, the big man soothed his tone and said:

"People are not reckless teenagers, and it is inevitable to do some foolish things when you are young, but you must not indulge in this. Beili, you will go less in the future, and you will have time to get close to a few of the side branches in Beijing, although they are side branches, but they are the same clan, and it will be of great help to your future career. I'm tired, you go and do your errands. ”

The disciple retreated resignedly, touched his head, was covered with cold sweat, and laughed at himself:

"In the end, the spring is dark, and the weather is hot."

The idea of going to Qinlou to find spring popped up in my heart, and I immediately remembered that my father had just warned me that I wanted to step on this thought, but I couldn't step on it.

The turmoil of mid-spring was quickly forgotten in a great news coming from the front. In the middle of March, Tian Hongzheng, the envoy of the Shuofang Army, reported to Chang'an in an expedited manner of 800 miles:

The ministers patrolled the border, captured a group of monks from Anxi outside the Great Wall, the monks claimed to be the envoy sent by Shi Jingfeng, the governor of the Quandou Lu army, to report to Li Guangyan, Dao Shi Jingfeng's lone army went thousands of miles, after a series of bloody battles, has recovered Shazhou, Guazhou, controlled Yumen Pass, and urgently needed reinforcements from the army. It was a matter of the war situation, and Tian Hongzheng had already sent someone to escort the envoys to Chang'an, and at the same time sent someone to pass through Zhenwu to inform him

The arrival of this news was almost earth-shattering. Tian Hongzheng sent a messenger to report the message overnight, the sound of the horse's hooves can be heard from afar in the middle of the night, when running to the Xuanwu Gate, it is even more alarmed Wang Chengyuan who is on duty, Wang Chengyuan told that this is the palace gate, no edict must not be opened lightly, let the messenger go to Yande Gate into the city to Shuofang Jinjuanyuan, and then from the Jinjuanyuan to the military department to report the news, as a result, the messenger fell off the horse tiredly, and only said:

"100,000 urgent, 100,000 urgent."

Wang Chengyuan did not know what kind of emergency it was, and when he saw that the envoy was from Shuofang, he thought that it was the Uighurs who had made a big move on the border of Kou, although he wondered how the nomads would enter the Kou in the spring, but he was also afraid of delaying the important event, so he decided to open the city gate on the spot, and ordered someone to carry the messenger to Pei Du, the prime minister on duty, who immediately sent someone to knock on the door of the palace. When Li Zhongyan woke up Li Yu and Ming Shuofang sent the news that Shi Jingfeng's lone army had recovered Yumen Pass, Li Yan, who was half-asleep, jumped up from the couch barefoot and asked repeatedly:

"What, what? Are you sure? Show me, uh, no, show me! ”

After getting Tian Hongzheng's recital, Li Yu's hands trembled, and he read it several times in a row, and said:

"Is that really the case? Is that really the case? Incredible, incredible! I said that I couldn't sleep tonight, it turned out that there was good news, good news! ”

Again:

"Tian Hongzheng can not stick to the system and make decisions on the spot, very good, very good, I didn't misunderstand him."

At first, Li Yu saw that the song was sent from Shuofang, for fear that Tian Hongzheng would not dare to let go of his actions because he was from a feudal town and did not receive instructions from the center, and did not dare to send someone across the border to inform Li Guangyan, so that the fighter plane would be delayed. At this time, when I saw the explanation in the recital, I was relieved.

Not long after, Pei Du and others came one after another, and the result of the resolution was naturally ordered by the Ministry of War, asking Li Guangyan to quickly open up the Hexi Corridor and respond to the history of the service.

"Otherwise, as soon as Shang Tazan's army arrives at Yumen Pass, Shi Jingfeng only has 2,000 people in his hands, so I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it."

Shi Jingfeng's envoy was still in Shuofang, and Li Yu and the others naturally didn't know the specific situation, of course, they thought that Shi Jingfeng's subordinates were only the original 2,000 people, and they couldn't help but be a little worried. Thinking of the urgency of the military situation, he sent another document to Tian Hongzheng, asking Tian Hongzheng to make a special case and send the information directly to Li Guangyan, and then submit it to the military department for the record, without asking for instructions.

"Straight lady thief, Lao Tzu has sacrificed to them, and his grandmother's land has come out of the ground again, it's really cheap for him to be an old boy!"

Guanzhong is already singing and dancing, but Zhangye is still in the cold spring. From the beginning of the sacrifice of Shi Jingfeng, the battle of Zhangye has been carried out for more than two months, under the victory, * has formed a situation of encirclement of Ganzhou, at this time suddenly came to Shi Jingfeng has captured the Yumen Pass, just like waiting for spring when suddenly found that spring has arrived for a long time, for the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army is really no different from the Arabian Nights.

Surprises really always come when you don't expect them. Therefore, many generals of the Western Expeditionary Army couldn't help but burst into foul language, only Li Guangyan was still calm and said:

"This was two or three months ago, and now, the sons and daughters of Shi Jingfeng's department are afraid that many of them can already drink the wine that you toast."
