The three brothers have three hearts, and they are not all the way to the goods, although there are some things in common in bringing down the prince, but after all, there are very few of them, besides, the three of them are all scheming people, and this wine is naturally not very refreshing to drink - although it looks very lively on the surface, but the big guys are wary of each other in their hearts.

"Lord Wang, have you ever had fun?" Li Zhen just walked into the study with a drunken atmosphere, and Nalong, who was already sitting in the room, got up with a smile and quipped.

Enjoy? Anyway, how can you drink this kind of wine, and make a joke on the spot. Li Zhen naturally knew that Na Long was just ridiculing herself, but she didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Just make do, it's finally not going to be enemies on all sides, hey, the third and fourth brothers have the same mind this time, and they are all waiting to see how we fight with the boss, hehe, interesting." ”

"It's good that the prince knows." Na Long laughed and sat down, picked up a piece of paper that was a little messy from the few people next to him, handed it to Li Zhen and said, "Lord Wang, you haven't taken office yet, and everyone else has set up a set of covers and is waiting." ”

Well? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, quickly swept the paper in his hand, his face immediately sank, glanced at Na Long and said, "When will the news come?" ”

"Three o'clock." Na Long said with a straight face: "This matter is not trivial, the prince should be careful to deal with it." ”

Li Zhen frowned, thought for a while, and said: "If you come, you will be safe, this king is not worried that there will be chaos at this end, hey, I cut off Hou Junji's hands and feet with my hands, and it is very convenient, well, today my father and the emperor handed over the matter of martial arts to this king, I am afraid that this matter will have to be tossed, sir, what does the saint mean?" ”

"It's hard to guess." Na Long had already learned everything that had happened in the early court from the "Rising Sun", and when he saw that Li Zhen was worried about this matter, he immediately laughed and said: "The imperial examination can only be completed through the four departments of ceremony, officials, soldiers, and workers, most of the military department is the prince's family, and the official department is the world of the king of Wei, and the king of Wu has a deep foundation in the Ministry of Industry. The two princes will definitely intervene to obstruct it, so that the court situation is afraid that it will be chaotic, and the prince is the stick that disturbs the court situation, but the end of the stick is in the hands of the saint. ”

Damn, the court situation is like this, the old man himself stirred it up, damn, if he had changed the prince early, how could he be in such a big situation now, this time it's okay, use Lao Tzu as a gun! Li Zhen knew in his heart that the old man was just planning to use himself, so he felt a chill in his heart, and said with a long sigh: "Alas, the edict of the left and right has not yet arrived in Menxia Province, and it will be decided after receiving the decree. Well, this king will be on duty with the military department tomorrow, so Mr. Mo Li might as well go and test it first, and then come to visit on the day of this king's holiday. As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Nalong to say anything, he went out with a heavy mind and went straight to the backyard......

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the military department directly inherited the Sui system, and had the heaviest power among the six departments of Shangshu Province. The two waiters are under the fourth grade. He is in charge of the important tasks of military selection, maps, chariots, horses, and armor. There are four subordinates: one is the military department, the second is the staff, the third is the driving department, and the fourth is the treasury department, of which there are four directors of the military department, two directors of the staff, two directors of the driving department, and two directors of the treasury department. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of War has the right to transfer part of the troops - the transfer of less than 300 guards does not require a holy decree, only a letter from the Ministry of War is required, but afterwards it must have a written and clear holy spirit, and when more than 300 people are mobilized, the holy decree issued by the emperor is required.

Don't underestimate that these 300 people are not much, if they are used properly, they will be able to set off a lot of waves in Chang'an City, therefore, each military secretary is served by the emperor's most trusted generals, since the first year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, Li Ji, and Hou Junji, who have served in this position, are all the same, but because the power of the military department is too heavy, these three are very consistent when they are in office, that is, they are not directors - more when they are sick at home, and less when they are on duty in the ministry, When it was Su Dingfang's turn to be the secretary of the military department, he didn't change this rule, and the affairs of the large and small ministries were actually in charge of the left waiter Liu Yan and the right waiter Li Youling, and the old man Su was just a rubber stamp, and the time to go to the ministry in a month was never more than three days, even if he showed up, he would come late and go early, but today, the old man Su arrived in the ministry early in the morning, and he didn't pull and pull with his subordinates, but just sat in the lobby with a calm face, waiting for Li Zhen's arrival.

Yo, that's a big formation. Li Zhen arrived on time, walked into the yamen of the Ministry of War with the sound of the Chenshi Zhengpai, just entered the hall, and saw the old man Su with a gloomy face sitting on the top, and the black crows and crows stood full of officials from various departments, Li Zhen did not dare to slack off, hurriedly walked a few steps, went straight to the front of the hall, and politely bowed his hand and said: "The lower officials see Su Shangshu." ”

The meaning of Li Zhen's words is clear, that is, to give Su Dingfang a salute as a subordinate rather than as a prince, which can be regarded as giving Su Dingfang enough faces, but he never thought that Old Man Su did not have the slightest greeting at all, and did not answer, turned his head to look at Liu Yan who was standing on the left-hand side, and said calmly: "Liu Shilang, since you have been ordered to transfer the military department, this is a good handover with His Royal Highness King Yue, and the old man is unwell, so he will not stay longer." As soon as the words fell, no matter what others thought, he got up and walked out of the lobby quickly, and went straight home.

What? Is this a slippery one? Damn old man Su, you've gone too far to avoid suspicion. Seeing that Su Dingfang left without even saying hello, Li Zhen suddenly cried and laughed, but he also understood that Old Man Su did not intend to be involved in the battle between the princes, so in desperation, he had to shake his head with a wry smile and let Old Man Su slip away.

"Xiaguan Liu Yan (Li Youling) has seen His Royal Highness King Yue." The two waiters were obviously accustomed to Old Man Su's situation of ignoring everything, and seeing that Li Zhen was still in a daze, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted each other.

"The two of you don't have to be so polite, since this king has served in the Ministry of War, everyone is a colleague, and they are at the same level, so this courtesy can be exempted." Li Zhen didn't hold it up, and waved his hand with a smile, signaling that Liu and Li didn't have to be polite. Li Zhen said so, but after all, he is a prince, and his position is there, how dare Liu and Li really treat Li Zhen as an equal, and they still pay full courtesies in a proper manner.

Liu Yanyin is about to be transferred out of the military department, and he must complete the handover procedures with Li Zhen at this time, salute, and take the lead in speaking: "Your Highness, the lower official has been ordered to level the official department, and the work at hand has been taken care of a few days ago. ”

Before Li Zhen could speak, Li Youling, the right attendant standing on the side, spoke first: "Your Highness, the lower official is in charge of the military department and the second division of the staff, and it has recently come to the time of turns, and there are a lot of heads and tails, if His Royal Highness allows it, the lower official plans to go and be busy first, if His Royal Highness needs to use the lower official, just say hello, and the lower official will come to wait again?" ”

Cheng, this excuse is not bad, hehe, I want to slip away so soon, how can it be so cheap! Li Zhen had long known that there was something going on in the military department today, and he also knew that Li Youling was a member of the prince's family, and when he saw that Li Youling was planning to flash people, he suddenly became suspicious, and he didn't break it, but just laughed and said: "I'm not busy, this king hasn't been handed over yet, even if Lord Li is busy, don't be in a hurry for a while, and after this king is handed over, it's not too late for Lord Li to go to Zhang Luo to do everything, what do you say?" ”

Li Youling really has the intention to leave, but Li Zhen's words have been said to this point, and he can't be allowed to defend himself, after all, the identity of Prince Li Zhen is there, and Li Zhen took over as the left waiter, and in terms of official position, it is also a line higher than his right waiter's identity, seeing that he can't get out, he has to say with a dry smile: "That's, that's, since the prince can use the lower officials, the lower officials naturally obey the orders." ”

Li Zhen saw that Li Youling had already been arrested, so he didn't think much of himself, and said very politely: "Then there is Master Lao Li." While speaking, a group of officials from various divisions also stepped forward in turn according to their grades to give Li Zhen, the new official, a good time, and most of the hour had passed, and finally finished such an annoying ceremony, Liu Yan walked to Li Zhen's side with a smile and said, "Your Highness, how about this start the handover?" ”

Heh, you're going to start? Okay, then come on! Li Zhen's heart moved, but she nodded with a smile on her face and said, "There is Lord Lao Liu, Lord Li, please stop together." Li Youling just laughed dryly, didn't say much, followed closely by Li Zhen's side, and walked towards the back hall with Liu Yan.

Liu Yan's office is not big, that is, the size of five zhang square, a large table, a few chairs, and a row of iron cabinets, the furnishings are very simple, perhaps because of the upcoming transfer, but it is also clean and tidy. After letting Li Zhen into the office, Liu Yan walked quickly to the table, picked up a stack of documents from the table, and said: "Your Highness, all the information of the Second Division of the Driver and Treasury Department in charge of the lower officials is here, please take a look at it." ”

Dog's day, so many things are stuffed into Lao Tzu's hands, and he really treats Lao Tzu as a computer, hey, damn it, don't wait for you to get off the horse, it looks like it's not going to work. Li Zhen had good eyes, and peeked at Li Youling's eyes with a hint of schadenfreude, and suddenly understood in his heart, and he didn't pick up the stack of documents in Liu Yan's hand, but just shouted calmly: "Someone!" ”

As Li Zhen's shouts rang out, more than a dozen guards poured in from outside the door......
