Yao Chong and Wei Zhigu don't deal with this matter, but anyone who is not stupid can see it. Yao Chong often talks about things as Wei Zhigu's small official, and he is bound to let himself suppress Wei Zhigu and become the number one prime minister.

How could Wei Zhigu be willing to show weakness? As a meritorious hero, when the emperor was still the prime minister, he did things by his side, and like Guo Yuanzhen, he was counted as the emperor, but he was never suspected and belittled by Li Longji like Guo Yuanzhen; After experiencing Zhang Shuo, Wang Ju, Liu Youqiu and Zhong Shaojing, he still stands in the political hall, and his status has risen instead of falling. His ability is not as good as Zhang Shuo, and he is not as good as Wang Ju to please the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven can still treat him like this, isn't it because he is indispensable to the Son of Heaven?

Although he didn't know what he valued so much, in fact, as early as when Zhang Shuo was demoted, he had secretly packed his luggage. But since the Son of Heaven left him and made him a servant, he must uphold the will of the Son of Heaven and give everything he has in order to create a prosperous world.

- At this point, Wei Zhigu really misunderstood Li Longji.

Li Long basically wanted to find a deputy for Yao Chong, he originally thought that Wei Zhigu was a soft-natured person, and he was a rare obedient person among the heroes, and his ability was average, so he couldn't compete with Yao Chong in political affairs, and he couldn't fight if he wanted to. But Li Longji never thought that Wei Zhigu had no other bad habits of the heroes, but he didn't agree with Yao Chong's eight characters, and he inherited a full ten.

Fortunately, although Yao Chong and Wei Zhigu are not compatible on the surface, they are still safe and sound at work, and the distribution of political affairs is appropriate, without any delay. But Li Longji also knew that this was like the calm before the storm, which could not last long, and he had to hurry up and find the next person who could serve as soon as possible.

Here, Li Longji's eyes swirled around Yao Chong and Wei Zhigu, and Wei Zhigu had already saluted Li Longji over there, and before he could open his mouth to get down to business, he saw Yao Chong stroking his palms and smiled: "The sage and I were talking about the candidate for the selection of officials, but I didn't expect that this candidate would arrive so soon." ”

Before the words fell, Li Longji and Wei Zhigu both opened their eyes wide, first looked at Yao Chong, and then looked at each other.

Will Yao Chong recommend Wei Zhigu to take charge of the election officer? They heard you right......

Li Longji turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Xiao Jiangyuan, and when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan nodding, he couldn't help but want to go outside the hall to see if there were two suns in the sky.

Wei Zhigu was also surprised by this, but what he thought was that Yao Chong could do this, there must be something wrong with it, and he hadn't thought about what to do to Yao Chong, so Yao Chong was going to strike first?

Yao Chong, a Tian Shehan, refused to let go of him, the only remaining prime minister, and his heart was inevitably too dark.

Although Wei Zhigu scolded so much in his heart, he couldn't get along with his face, but now after all, he was in front of the Son of Heaven, so let's give Yao Chong a little thin face: "Wei doesn't know what Yao Xianggong means." ”

Li Longji looked at Yao Chong: "I don't know what Yao Gong's plans are. ”

Yao Chong said with a smile: "The matter of electing officials is the top priority of the government, and the two capitals have always been parallel. The candidate for Chang'an, the old minister already knows it, and he will return to it later, and the candidate for the eastern capital is none other than Wei Xianggong. ”

This is a good opportunity for Li Longji. Wei Zhigu is in the Eastern Capital, and the general affairs of Menxia Province have to be temporarily represented by another person, so that in the future, removing Wei Zhigu's position and worshiping others will not be so abrupt and ruthless, and Li Longji can also carefully review it, and it is best to propose someone from Menxia Province to replace Wei Zhigu's position.

The election of officials in May is a lot of work, and it is reasonable for the two chief prime ministers to sit in Chang'an and the other to go to the eastern capital to take charge. As soon as Wei Zhigu saw Li Longji's expression, he knew that he might not be able to refuse this matter, and besides, going to the Eastern Capital to elect officials was also a matter for him as a minister, and he had no reason to refuse. But after all, he was a little unwilling in his heart, so he opened his mouth and had to ask Li Longji: "I don't know what the sage wants?" ”

Li Longji naturally supported Yao Chong, but he couldn't say that: "I think that among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there is no one more competent than Wei Xianggong." ”

Wei Zhigu sighed secretly and arched his hand: "That is the case, listen to the sage." ”

"Okay...... good," Li Longji smiled, "Wei Xianggong will have to go early and return early when he arrives." ”

Li Long was basically polite, but Wei Zhigu didn't think so. He was very trusting and moved by the sage's vague "promise", and couldn't help but straighten his back, wanting to make himself look more imbued than Yao Chong.

This naturally can't escape Yao Chong's eyes. He just smiled and went with Wei Zhigu. For him, being able to tacitly communicate with the sage to send Wei Zhigu to Chang'an is a success. Now that the goal has been achieved, this Wei Zhigu must not be in the political hall for long, so what's the harm in letting him go?

After such a delay, Wei Zhigu forgot the purpose of his coming to see Li Longji today, the matter that Li Longji wanted to deal with had been dealt with, and Yao Chong had nothing to say next, and the hall fell into an inexplicable and embarrassing quiet.

Seeing that the three of them were smiling and didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Jiangyuan coughed lightly: "Everyone, when Xianggong Wei is here today, he must have something to say." ”

Wei Zhigu remembered at this time, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Yao Chong with a smiling expression, and the words were directly choked in his throat. Li Longji hurriedly asked Xiao Jiangyuan to give Wei Zhiguduan a cup of tea. Seeing that Wei Zhigu's face didn't know whether it was ashamed or coughing, it was already red, and he held up his cheeks with one hand to cover the corners of his flying lips.

Xiao Jiangyuan stroked Wei Zhigu's chest and abdomen for him, and glanced at Li Longji: Since ancient times, how can there be a joke on the courtiers?

Li Longji immediately straightened up: "Is Wei Xianggong okay?" ”

Wei Zhigu was thanking Xiao Jiangyuan, and when he heard this, he lowered his head and said: "The minister has lost his honor." ”

Of course, Li Longji would not treat Wei Zhigu's crime for such a trivial matter: "Wei Xianggong is still here today for Turkic affairs?" ”

"Exactly."

"Just leave this matter to Yao Gong." Li Longji said lightly, "From today onwards, Wei Xianggong will pay more attention to the matter of electing officials. Although the eastern capital is not as good as Chang'an, it is also one of the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty, and the court officialdom there must also be clear. This is an important task, and I will hand it over to Wei Xianggong to take full responsibility. ”

When Wei Zhigu was sure that he was going to the Eastern Capital, he knew that there would be this result, so he was not surprised, and he accepted it very calmly: "On the Eastern Capital, the ministers must do their best to live up to the trust of the saints." On the side of Chang'an, the minister doesn't want to lose, but when the minister is not in Chang'an after all, many things will be overwhelmed, and the minister wants to recommend a person to temporarily manage the province for the minister, I don't know if it can? ”

The abdicating old minister recommends the new minister to continue to hold his original official position, which is an unwritten practice in the imperial court, let alone just appointing a person for the time being? Generally, the Son of Heaven will not refuse such a request, and Li Longji is naturally no exception. But Wei Zhigu proposed one, and Yao Chong vetoed one on the grounds of his incompetence or lack of qualifications, and so on several times, Wei Zhigu was a little anxious no matter how soft his temperament was: "Then I don't know who Yao Xianggong thinks is more suitable?" ”

Seeing that Wei Zhigu was annoyed, Yao Chong smiled: "Menxia Province is directly under the jurisdiction of Wei Xianggong, how can Yao interfere?" ”

Seeing Yao Chong laughing, Wei Zhigu became even more angry: "Then is Yao Xianggong joking with Wei?" ”

Seeing that the more the two prime ministers talked, the more wrong it became, Xiao Jiangyuan had just returned to Li Longji and stood up, and he secretly moved his muscles and bones again, ready to rush down at any time to pull the rack, but he heard an old cough suddenly sounded, and then he saw a white-haired old man wearing a gray-white round-necked cloth robe, slowly walked between Yao Chong and Wei Zhigu, and said: "The two prime ministers should be the example of a hundred officials, and they should not be rude in front of the king!" ”

Everyone in the hall was taken aback—when did he come? Since there was no notification, they arrived together when Yao Chong and Wei Zhigu entered the hall in turn. Yao Chong must have come alone, and he was a subordinate servant, presumably with Wei Zhigu. He has been silent, and Xiao Jiangyuan, Li Longji and others have never been aware of his existence.

Wei Zhigu always felt as if he had forgotten something from the time he learned about the election of officials in the Eastern Capital, and at first he thought it was a matter of forgetting the Turks, but after this matter was handed over to Yao Chong, he still couldn't settle down. This feeling intensified when he recommended the officials, and it was only then that he finally remembered it completely.

This Lu Huaishen was brought by him, but he forgot about it......

He hurriedly pulled Lu Huaishen to take a step forward: "The sage thinks that the Duke of Lu will temporarily take care of the province, how about it?" ”

Li Longji looked at Yao Chong amusedly: "Does Yao Gong still have objections at this time?" ”

Yao Chong arched his hand and said, "But it's up to the saint to decide." ”

Only then did Li Longji look at Lu Huaishen. This person's sense of existence is extremely weak, and everyone often only hears his reputation, but does not see his figure, this is also the first time Li Longji has looked at it from head to toe, but except for a dull old clothes, Li Longji can know that this person is honest and poor, and nothing else can be seen.

This old man Lu can make Yao Chong and Wei Zhigu converge and have the same opinion, and he is more or less a strange person, it seems that he knows more about it.
