Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji saluted together.

"Your Majesty, Songtsen Gampo will be silent for a while after taking Tuyuhun, but it will definitely make a comeback, and the court must prepare early." The eldest grandson Wuji bowed down and preached.

"Presumably, many people are also waiting for Datang to fight against Tubo." Fang Xuanling also said.

Fang Xuanling said that many people are also referring to the surrounding countries, and today's Tubo is different from the past.

In the past, Tibet was a bitter cold place, and Songtsen Gampo recovered many Tibetan tribes and raised a large army in that bitter cold place, Li Shimin admired his talent.

The neighbor is a strong enemy, and I want to test how much this strong enemy is capable of.

Those small countries have the desire to watch the excitement, and they also have the meaning of wanting to cling to.

It is not yet known which of the Tubo and the Tang Dynasty will be stronger or weaker, and they are all waiting for when the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo will wrestle their wrists.

This is not only a contest of troops, but also a contest of strategy and national policy.

Between the three of them laughing and talking, they had even discussed how to use Zhang Yang cleanly, just like a plate of food in front of them, thinking about how to share it.

Zhang Yang returned to the Ministry of Rites and said in a low voice, "King Hejian County, Your Majesty has already agreed. ”

Li Xiaogong was puzzled, "Did you really agree?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "The Ministry of Rites has autonomy, it can do things independently, and it can also let the ministries of the DPRK and China cooperate with us through the Zhongshu Province, and we can even mobilize the military guards." ”

The words fell, and the Ministry of Rites fell silent again.

Li Xiaogong and Xu Jingzong were silent.

"In the future, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, the three of us will go together." Li Xiaogong finally spoke.

This means that in the future, the Ministry of Rites will have to do more things, even exchanges with neighboring countries.

In the face of great responsibility, there is also great merit.

There are even greater risks.

Zhang Yang smiled, "All in all, our Ministry of Rites doesn't need to look at the faces of other departments, we finally raise our eyebrows." ”

"What else did Your Majesty say?"

Zhang Yang told all the conversations with Li Shimin.

Xu Jingzong was excited and apprehensive in his heart, since then the Ministry of Rites has greater power, which is undoubtedly a good thing, and there is no need to be afraid to do things in the future, let alone worry about the ministries not cooperating with the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, Xu Jingzong likes the power thing, and since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has always been on the verge of testing in the court.

Now that he has finally entered the court, he has also seen power.

"Brother Xu, Zhang Daxiang and Zhang Dasu, the household attendants, will come to the Ministry of Rites to do business together, and they will also serve as attendants."

Zhang Daxiang was originally the squire of the household department, and he was also at the same level when he transferred to the Ministry of Rites.

Zhang Dasu was promoted from a giver in Dongtai to a waiter in the Ministry of Rites from Menxia Province.

As for Zhang Da'an, Li Shimin still doesn't want to give.

Xu Jingzong wrote down Zhang Yang's words, "Understood." ”

Zhang Yang said again, "I also ask Brother Xu to collect more news about Tubo and the Turks these days, and find out in Chang'an City, how many people in our Chang'an are spies of Tubo, if necessary, Li Junxian can help investigate and take people, and there will be a lot of things in our Ministry of Rites in the future." ”

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but nodded, "The lower officials must do it well, and please rest assured that Zhang Shilang." ”

Xu Jingzong was originally a messenger in Chang'an City, and this thing was not difficult for him, he was originally a capable person, but his character was not very good.

handed over a lot of things to Xu Jingzong, Zhang Yang and Li Xiaogong started a long vacation, according to Li Shimin, everything was for the sake of Sheji.

Now that there are more affairs of the Ministry of Rites, the files placed in Zhongshu Province have also been brought to the Ministry of Rites, which are all files of news from various countries.

Originally, Xu Jingzong couldn't handle it alone, but fortunately, Zhang Daxiang and Zhang Dasu came.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were not many officials who could be appointed, everyone was very busy, and many people wore multiple hats.

Only Zhang Yang, an outlier, began to live a leisurely life after being rewarded by Li Shimin.

In the province of Zhongshu.

Lang Cen, the secretary of the DPRK and China, was puzzled and asked Fang Xuanling, who was consulting the chapters of various places.

"Why did Your Majesty promote such a person like this?"

Fang Xuanling smiled, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Cen Wenwen sat aside, "According to the opinion of the lower officials, this Zhang Shilang is not a person who can take on great responsibilities at all, this person has not been in court for half a month. ”

Fang Xuanling's expression was very calm, "Not going to court for half a month does not mean that the Ministry of Rites is not doing things, as far as the old man knows, the Ministry of Rites has been collecting news these days, all of which are news about Tubo." ”

"But...... But that's all they did. ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Did you see that he just did this?" ”

Cen Wenwen lowered his head, "Behind the scenes, the lower officials are not very clear. ”

"In its position, plan its own affairs, do our own things, if you are really curious, you might as well see what happens in the future of the Ministry of Rites."

Zhang Yang has never seen the life of the elite class in the Tang Dynasty, but this time he has seen it.

At Li Xiaogong's house, Zhang Yang watched a group of women dance.

Since he had a long vacation and could ignore the government, Li Xiaogong was in a good mood and invited all the officials of the Ministry of Rites to come to his house as guests.

This guy also touched people's waists unscrupulously and danced with these girls, who danced even more happily.

There was a lot of laughter in the house, and they were like a bunch of banshees.

As soon as Li Xiaogong hooked his fingers, they would climb onto the bed.

Zhang Yang drank the wine in a sullen voice, it was too rotten.

Zhang Daxiang and Zhang Dasu also had a straight face, and Xu Jingzong didn't have much to drink.

Only Lee Hyo-gong was the most interested.

After dancing with these girls for a while, Li Xiaogong dismissed them and laughed, "Why are you so silent." ”

"I'm envious of the life of the King of Hejian."

"The old man has been galloping on the battlefield for so many years in his life, and now he can finally put down his swords, and only pleasure remains."

What kind of Jiangshan Sheji, Li Xiaogong almost spit out, and then scolded the Jiangshan Sheji, don't disturb the old man's enjoyment.

Zhang Yang said helplessly, "The king of Hejian County should also pay attention to his body, the wine is astringent and hurts his body." ”

The King of Hejian County: "This is a bit disappointing, don't say it again next time." ”

From morning to noon, the feast was dismissed.

Li Xiaogong's son, Li Chongyi, personally sent several people out of the house.

Xu Jingzong walked out of the mansion first, "There are still some things to be busy, so the lower officials will leave first." ”

Zhang Yang looked at Li Xiaogong's son, Li Chongyi was fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was polite and polite.

Li Chongyi said with a smile, "I often hear my father talk about Zhang Shilang's affairs, you are a very methodical person. ”

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "Chongyi Gongzi, are you praising me or scolding me when you say this?" ”

Li Chongyi shook his head and smiled, "In life, you always have to have some means, and you have to learn more from Zhang Shilang in the future." ”

Seeing that Li Chongyi was still going to send it, Zhang Yang hurriedly turned around and saluted a little, "Chongyi Gongzi doesn't need to send it anymore, the king of Hejian County is drunk and needs someone to take care of him." ”

Li Chongyi stopped, "A few people walk slowly." ”

Walking on Suzaku Street, Zhang Daxiang took his younger brother and wondered: "Does the Ministry of Rites have to be so outstanding in the court?" ”

Zhang Dasu was also puzzled, "There are five people in the entire Ministry of Rites, just our two brothers are in the court, which is also too outstanding." ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "In terms of diplomatic strategy, a lot of it is also intelligence work, and there is a certain particularity in diplomatic work, and our every move will also be known by those small countries outside the border, we need to know what they are doing, but our own purpose must not be known by them." ”

"Hide yourself, watch the other person's movements, and plot from it?"

"Many times when there is a dispute between the two countries, diplomacy comes first, and the Ministry of Rites has to be at the forefront, even at the forefront of the soldiers."

Zhang Daxiang's eyes were a little more respectful, "I didn't expect Zhang Shilang to have such courage in his heart, and the lower officials admired it." ”

"Don't admire, go see the teacher."

"Okay."

From the beginning, Zhang Daxiang felt that Zhang Yang was a loose person, on the surface, the Ministry of Rites did nothing, but he could see in it that there were many, many things to be done by the Ministry of Rites, even Xu Jingzong had to take things home and deal with them overnight.

The current Ministry of Ceremonies even has to find out how many people are around Ashinadur and how many relatives there are, so Xu Jingzong specially invited some people to inquire about the news, and even trained people who are proficient in various Chinese languages to go to the countries outside the customs to inquire about the news.

In fact, there are spies outside the DPRK and China, but the spies of the Ministry of Rites are different, and the spies of the Ministry of Rites invite people from outside the Guan, so that the Turks can infiltrate Tibet, and let the Tibetans infiltrate the Turks.

Some of the practices are not on the table, and they are not the actions of a gentleman, but they are particularly reliable and practical as a means of controlling people's hearts.

Zhang Yang is not a good person, nor is he a gentleman.

The king of Hejian is a pillar supporting the Ministry of Rites.

Zhang Yang is the one who really gives advice in the Ministry of Rites, no wonder His Majesty wants to see him in person.

And Zhang Yang's style of acting also gave the Ministry of Rites a feeling of being tough and unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal.

Came to the residence of Zou Guogong.

Now Zhang Gongjin is becoming more and more satisfied with Zhang Yang's disciple.

Zhang Yang smiled, "How is the teacher's health today?" ”

Zhang Gongjin stroked his beard and said, "Sit down first and play chess!" ”

The chessboard was arranged, and Zhang Yang nodded and sat down.

"The big fool makes tea, and the second fool goes to buy some food." Zhang Gongjin called to his two sons.

The two honest sons listened to their father's words and immediately arranged it.

The chess game began to fight, and after a game, the situation was very anxious, and the two sides were evenly matched.

Zhang Daxiang put the tea aside, one bowl per person, and then stood quietly aside.

Zhang Dasu also brought food, six cakes and some minced meat.

This feeling is again, Zhang Yang's chess path has changed again.

Zhang Gongjin looked at the chessboard and whispered, "What has the Ministry of Rites been doing recently." ”

Zhang Daxiang on the side said, "Back to my father, recently, the Ministry of Rites is asking General Li Junxian to arrest the spies arranged in Chang'an City outside the pass, and the Ministry of Rites wants to train them to work for the Tang Dynasty, this is called rebellion, and these things we do are also secret from the DPRK, and even Zhongshu Province does not know." ”

"I didn't ask you! Stand aside. Zhang Gongjin said with a bad face.

"Understood, father." Zhang Daxiang responded and stood up again.

"I haven't grown up for so many years, and the old man's face has been lost to your three brothers......"

Zhang Gongjin counted his son on the side.

Zhang Yang smiled, "The teacher doesn't have to be angry, the Ministry of Rites is indeed busy with these things." ”

Zhang Gongjin let out a long sigh, and the offensive on the chessboard was defused again, "The old man thinks it's very strange, Your Majesty really agreed to you?" ”

"I did agree, I also have some doubts, it stands to reason that it is good to bargain, but it is so refreshing."

"The old man heard about the will of Zhongshu Province, and before coming to your Ministry of Rites, Fang Xuanling went to meet Your Majesty."

"Wei Guofang Xuanling?"

Zhang Gongjin nodded and said, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to Fang Xuanling, if Your Majesty will avoid the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian because of his virtuous avoidance, after Du Ruhui passes away, only Fang Xuanling is the most suitable among the remaining people." ”

Zhang Yang pondered, "That's true. ”

In fact, this is the case, the position of the prime minister of Zhenguan has always been very vague, and there are many people who come and go in that position.

Even if so many people were replaced, in the end, only Fang Xuanling had been in this position for the longest time, longer than anyone else.

Fang Xuanling is very good at governance.

Zhang Gongjin ate one of Zhang Yang's cars, "Recently, the old man always thinks that you will be in trouble, those old foxes in the court are afraid that they have other ideas, and Zhongshu Province is so willing to give you power, one is because the eldest grandson Wuji lost the gamble, and the other is that they have other plans." ”

"Zhao Guogong is a good man, His Majesty is also particular about people, how good, the Ministry of Rites has everything it wants, and we can also show our strengths." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"If you think so, the old man will be relieved." Zhang Gongjin also nodded reassuringly, "The old man likes you like you who obviously haven't drunk, and you talk like you're drunk." ”

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "The teacher is polite, I won this game of chess again." ”

The chess pieces picked up and fell, and Zhang Yang's double cannon checkmate Zhang Gongjin to death.

The smile froze on his face, the corners of his eyes twitched twice, and he sighed helplessly, "Miscalculated!" ”

The busiest person in this half month is Xu Jingzong, who gets up early and is greedy for darkness, and almost all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are carried by him alone.

In the eyes of everyone in the court, Zhang Daxiang and Zhang Dasu also go to court on time every day, and they go to court on time, and these two people can go to court on time in the Ministry of Rites.

It seems that these two people are just trying to cope with the court.

Xu Jingzong also went to the court occasionally, but the affairs of the Ministry of Rites were too busy, and he didn't even go to the court.

Others don't know what Xu Jingzong is doing, as long as the elephant and Da Su understand that Xu Jingzong is so busy that his hair is messy, his face is haggard, and everyone is going crazy.

At this moment, Zhang Yang and Li Yue are playing badminton in the village, and the badminton court in their fiefdom can be as large as possible.

A group of boys and girls looked at the scene in front of them, and their heads turned with the trajectory of the shuttlecock.

Li Tai looked at the shuttlecocks flying around, and shouted excitedly, "Sister Huang, brother-in-law, give me a game too." ”

Li Yue looked worried, "Qingque, do you really want to play?" ”

Li Tai took the racket, "I must have won against my brother-in-law." ”

On the side of the court, Sun Simiao observed the wounds of the two people, and after several deliberations, he kept silent.
