[Chapter 25: Monarchs and Ministers Live in the Zichen Palace] (2)

Li Longji wasn't very sure, but thinking that the man's surname was Zhang, and he vaguely remembered that he was a military general from the north, and there should be few people who met these two conditions, so he hesitated and said, "Then maybe...... That's him? ”

Wei Kang said: "Then the minister is going to draft a book for worshipping the prime minister?" ”

Li Longji nodded slowly, waved his hand to let Wei Kang retreat, and at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in the hall:

"Wait."

Wei Kang was originally very worried about Li Longji's uncertain appearance, but when he saw that the person who came was General Xiao, who he hadn't seen for a long time, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Longji's face was not so good: "Aren't you sick?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan ignored Li Longji's cynicism, but walked straight to the bookshelf behind the imperial case, took a volume of notes, and handed it to Li Longji: "The person everyone just said is probably not the Shuo Fang Festival envoy, but ...... He. ”

Li Longji is angry, but he will not get along with political affairs, and immediately opened the song to take a look, and the name that he couldn't call for a long time suddenly became clear: "Yes, it's him!" Wei Shilang, the new appearance I want to worship is the ambassador of the Bingzhou Heavenly Soldier Army, Zhang Jiazhen and Zhang Gong! ”

Zhang Jiazhen this person, born in the Ming Dynasty, was a county lieutenant at the beginning, and was later dismissed from the office, and was interviewed by the Empress Zetian to re-enter the court as an official. In the fifth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the nine Turkic surnames were attached to the Tang Dynasty and scattered north of Taiyuan. Li Longji felt that it was reasonable, because it was only Chen Bing and not a war, and did not violate the national policy of Yao Gong, so he approved Zhang Jiazhen's request, set up a Heavenly Soldier Army in Bingzhou, and appointed Zhang Jiazhen as the first ambassador of the Heavenly Soldier Army.

The reason why Xiao Jiangyuan knows and remembers him is because in the sixth year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Jiazhen once returned to Beijing to report on his work, and was falsely accused of rebellion and almost killed his family. Li Longji had a very good impression of Zhang Jiazhen at that time, and once said: "If you have the opportunity in the future, you will worship Qing as the prime minister." ”

If it were other courtiers, they would be more or less modest at this time, and some would be more grateful to Dade, but Zhang Jiazhen said: "Back then, the Duke of Gaotang County walked into Chang'an, and was reused by Emperor Taizong, and died at the age of fifty. If Emperor Taizong had paid more attention to the Tang County Duke for a few years, such a good talent would have been missed. If the saint really wants to reuse the minister, he must be as soon as possible, and he must wait for the minister to get old, then it will be too late. ”

The people of the Tang Dynasty are more frank and truthful, and there are often big truths, but it is not often that people speak amazingly in front of the king. Zhang Jiazhen's words caused the ministers to look different, and at the same time made Li Longji and Xiao Jiangyuan Junchen laugh, which was really eye-catching and impressive.

This time, Li Longji not only fulfilled his promise, but also really felt that Zhang Jiazhen had some talent, since there was no other candidate for the time being, let him give it a try.

Wei Kang had already been ordered to retire from drafting the book, and only Li Longji and Xiao Jiangyuan were left in the palace.

Li Longji immediately didn't look at Xiao Jiangyuan, walked straight to the back of the imperial case, turned his back to Xiao Jiangyuan, and sat down with his arms and knees. Xiao Jiangyuan knew how bad her family's face would be without looking at it.

The hall was quiet for a long time, and Li Longji never heard the footsteps of Xiao Jiangyuan leaving, so he glanced sideways slightly, and found that she really didn't leave. He was wondering if she should say something to herself, when a slight cough broke the silence of the temple.

"Really fake ......" Li Longji muttered, and when he looked back, Xiao Jiangyuan was really covering his lips and coughing lightly. The lights were on and off, and she was just dressed in a light snow-white robe, standing alone in this huge temple, her cough was full of forbearance, especially she seemed weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Li Longji's anger instantly retracted, and only condensed in the center of his eyebrows. A touch of unbearability flashed in his eyes, and his eyes added a little bit of hatred for himself, but he finally sighed, he pursed his lips and said, "You can rest quickly." ”

The tone was full of unwillingness, indignation and helplessness. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Longji's head turned back again, so he didn't see it, Xiao Jiangyuan smiled in his eyes.

Xiao Jiangyuan was really unwell that day, and her cough was not pretended, but she knew that in the eyes of her family, this was not the case. But he obviously felt that her situation was fake, but he still urged her to go back to rest, this kind of heart, Xiao Jiangyuan is hard-hearted, and he can't help but be moved and remembered.

What's more, comparing her heart to her heart, she can make him soft-hearted, why can't he?

Li Longji is tall and straight, and when he sits on his knees, his whole body can become a small lump, compared with the imperial cases that are piled up at both ends like two mountains, he is not only weak, pitiful and helpless, but also lonely.

In the past, when she served Empress Zetian, she would often have similar feelings, but in her eyes, Empress Zetian was too powerful and didn't need anyone to pity, comfort and help, and her family Ah Lang was different. It's not that her Ah Lang is weaker than Empress Zetian, but compared to Empress Zetian, she seems to be able to better understand the inner feelings of her Ah Lang, and she can capture even the slightest slight change.

Therefore, she did not leave, but approached Li Longji step by step.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Li Longji was both surprised and curious, but he still had pretended disgust on his face. When he caught a glimpse of Xiao Jiangyuan kneeling down beside him, he immediately turned his head sideways: "What are you ...... doing?"

Before the word "what" came out, Li Longji was already stunned.

Xiao Jiangyuan was also stunned for a moment, and hurriedly moved his body back before letting his lips leave Li Longji's lips.

She originally had a sentence that had been brewing in her heart for a long time, and she wanted to say it to Li Longji on impulse. But for her, that sentence could not be said to the monarch as a eunuch, so she wanted to whisper to Li Longji, but she didn't want him to suddenly turn his head, which not only made Xiao Jiangyuan sober up, but also made her dispel this idea.

"The minister is offended, so the minister will go back and meditate on his own mistakes." Xiao Jiangyuan got up as he spoke, and retreated before Li Longji could react.

Wait a minute...... Who offends whom?

Although Fang Cai's kiss was a misunderstanding, it still made Li Longji's mind pause for a while, and when he woke up, Xiao Jiangyuan was no longer in the hall.

She clearly knew what she wanted to say and what she wanted to do, but she immediately changed her mind. When will he find out what she's thinking?

He lowered his head while thinking about it, and looked at Zhang Jiazhen's note that Xiao Jiangyuan had just given him and was placed on the imperial case by him—she couldn't hold it anymore, couldn't she? He insisted on insisting, and by the way, he looked for a few clever eunuchs, and after a long time, she would definitely worry about her future situation, and when the time came, she would not come back obediently? What did she want to say, what she wanted to do, and at that time he wanted to know which one could not be achieved?

That's right, he wants her to see it with her own eyes, and there is nothing wrong with him without her.

As soon as he finished gritting his teeth, Li Longji couldn't help but reminisce about the fleeting tightness and softness, and immediately called Bian Lingcheng into the hall and asked him to send an imperial doctor over early tomorrow morning to take a look at Xiao Jiangyuan's body.

Bian Lingcheng's heart to strive for progress was instantly broken.

Previously, because of the evil money, Li Longji had already dismissed Xiao Yinzhi to calm the anger of the people, but now no one can bear the drought for Song Jing.

On the 28th day of the first month of the eighth year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji promoted Song Jing to the third division of the Kaifu Yitong, Su Cheng to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time Zhang Jiazhen was the Zhongshu waiter, and Yuan Qianyao was the servant of the door.

By this time, it had been three years and half a month since Song Jing visited the prime minister. He adhered to Yao Chong's ten things to say, reformed the previous evils, and adhered to morality and principles with his own body, which changed the atmosphere of many courtiers, made the court clear, and put the government on the right track.

There is Fang Du in front and Yao Song in the back. The existence of Yao Chong and Song Jing not only laid a solid foundation for the future prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, but also enabled the Tang Dynasty to get rid of decades of chaos and open the Taiping rule, so that Li Longji could have enough strength and space to carry out his next step, so that the Tang Dynasty would make Zhongxing also.

However, Lu Huaishen and Su Cheng adhered to their duties and never maliciously competed to disrupt the progress of political affairs. Yao Chong and Song Jing were able to achieve this achievement, of course, because Li Longji knew how to make good use of them, and Lu Su also contributed to them.

In these years, the Son of Heaven was open-minded, diligent and loving the people, and the courtiers were honest and honest, determined to forge ahead, and the entire court was filled with an excellent atmosphere of gentlemen and ministers - this is one of the reasons why the Tang Dynasty can prosper so quickly.

Unfortunately, since then, this atmosphere has gradually disappeared.

Legend has it that babies occasionally have the ability to see the heavens, I don't know if it's true or not, as if to commemorate the passing of an era, three days after Song Jing and Su Kun dismissed the prime minister, the fifteenth son of the emperor born to Concubine Wu Xian died of a sudden illness.

This child was born prematurely, and Concubine Wu Xian had already made such preparations in her heart, but when the child was really out of gas, she still refused to believe it, and complained about the injustice of heaven. When she saw that Queen Wang was at the helm of the inner court, she couldn't help but become more and more unwilling.

This is the queen, the mother of a country. has been clearly unfavored for many years, but she can still hold power and is admired by people all over the world, and Saburo also has a lot of respect for her. And she clearly favors the harem, and the treatment is still the head of the concubines, but as long as she is not the queen for a day, the power will not be able to stay in her hands.

I think that when my aunt and grandmother were Zhaoyi, she was also a favorite harem, what was the difference between her Wu Guanyue and her martial arts, and she couldn't go further for many years? My aunt and grandmother let me and the emperor have one heart, and so did she, and my aunt and grandmother had many children, and she also ......

The emperor finally deposed Wang Liwu for himself and his power, even if the Taiyuan Wang clan and the Guanlong nobles were not defeated at the feet of the imperial power? Now the queen's maiden family is far inferior to the Taiyuan Wang family, and she has made a big mistake, plus the queen has no children and no favor, and the resistance is minimal, why can't it?

It's not that the power of the relatives is too weak, so Saburo doesn't think it's worth mentioning, right?

Still is...... Saburo has already dispelled the idea of abolishing the queen?
