In late autumn in September, the grass and trees are yellow.

Chang'an, East Palace Mingde Palace.

Li Xian sat behind the table, reading the notebook in his hand little by little, and the smile on his face gradually bloomed.

"Knock knock." Li Xian lightly knocked on the table three times, and the eyes of the ministers of the East Palace looked at it at the same time: "Zhongqing, the report from Fanzhou Prefecture has sent Dafeng to Fanzhou this year, in addition to supporting various expenses in Fanzhou and sending troops to the Western Regions, there is also a percent of the tax sent to Chang'an." ”

After a slight pause, Li Xian said seriously: "This year's tax statistics in the world have been completed, and in the second year of Yonglong, Datang will have a bumper harvest." ”

"Congratulations to Your Highness!" The ministers in the hall stood up at the same time and solemnly bowed their hands to Li Xian.

At this time, a rush of footsteps sounded outside, Li Xian was slightly stunned, and then saw Liu Renliang, Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao, and Ouyang Tong walking in quickly from outside the hall, with solemn faces.

Especially Fanzhou just belonged to the Tang Dynasty last year, and there was no chaos in the past year, but a peaceful harvest, which is the minister Li Xian is most looking forward to governing the country.

"Minister Taichang Temple Xielu Lang Lu Zangyong to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." Lu Zangyong walked into the hall and bowed to Li Xian Shen on the ground.

If the emperor is gone, they can use this position to do something by themselves, but the emperor finally relieved himself, and even now he is looking for a posterior, then it is the trouble of their people.

Li Xianken let go, and in fact, he had already given Lu Zang face.

Li Zhi nodded lightly, and did not decapitate, the root cause was that there was no time to behead the enemy.

The voice of the waiter came from outside the door, Li Xian suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head and said, "Let him come in." ”

Li Xian smiled and waved his hand, and the ministers immediately retreated slowly.

"Your Highness, something happened to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate."

By the way, the Ministry of Rites, Wu Chenghei is dead, so the Ministry of Rites is empty.

The deep curtain blocked the gaze of the Empress Wu and the change in Li Zhi's expression.

Lu Zhen, the former minister, is the eldest son of former Prime Minister Lu Chengqing, and Lu Zangyong is the grandson of Lu Chengqing's seventh brother Lu Chengli.

Not for anything else, just because his own son has also grown up, Li Dan's son is also the same age, and Taiping is also pregnant.

Empress Wu's clear voice sounded in the hall: "At the beginning of August, Zhongshu Ling, Pengcheng County Gong Liu Xianli, Yu Xiaobolu and the Western Turkic tribes started a war, the battle was urgent, five thousand big food cavalry from the back, the army immediately wavered, just at this time, Zuo Xiaowei army rushed from Da Bolu, and after a fight with the big food cavalry, they lost thousands of troops and retreated. ”

Empress Wu shook her head slightly, and said with a little worry: "If you don't behead you, you won't win, but you haven't been defeated, which shows that although there are losses to the soldiers, the other party has also suffered a lot of losses." ”

The corners of Lu Zang's mouth twitched slightly, and he arched his hand: "Cui Ming, the county lieutenant of Wannian, is the son of the minister's cousin, and he has also had a friendship with the minister for many years. ”

Li Xian looked up at Lu Zangyong, frowned, and said, "Lu Qing, Cui Ming is Cui Ming, you are you, Cui Ming's business, there are Cui family members who come forward, how can it be your turn to intercede for him here?" ”

At this time, Cui Ming can't handle the case, if he doesn't want to be impeached and dismissed, then taking the initiative to apply for transfer is the only way.

"It's a pity." Li Xian sighed lightly, if Li Xuan was not a clan, then he would inevitably use Li Xuan as the prime minister, but unfortunately, Li Xuan's identity as a clan is destined to be at most a local assassin, the governor, even if he is put back in the court, it is just an idle position like the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry.

"Didn't say anything about the decapitation in this battle?" Li Zhi looked up with some confusion.

Li Xian nodded and said, "Send a message, tell Su Sima that things should be kept an eye on." ”

"Your Highness is saying that Cui Ming is unwilling to be transferred to Taiyuan?" Lu Zang looked up in surprise.

Lu Chengqing and Lu Chengli are both former princes of Fanyang County, and the crown prince is the heir of Lu Chisong.

The things in the middle, although Peng Wangfu is moving, but in fact, it is Li Xian who is standing behind everyone and supporting everyone.

The family is so calculating.

Li Xian somewhat understood why, they had to go to the county lieutenant of Wannian when the emperor was seriously ill.

"Your Highness." Lu Zang bowed heavily, his face bitter.

"Someone." Li Xuan glanced sideways, and an attendant stood up.

"But no." Empress Wu frowned and said: "King Peng enters the Western Regions, it is not difficult to win the battle, the difficult thing is how to collect the troops, three generals, a prime minister, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, if you don't finish your work in one battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to collect the troops...... Moreover, King Peng is the old department of Pengcheng County. ”

"Okay, there you go." Li Xian waved his hand, and Lu Zangyong immediately bowed, then turned around and walked out.

It was late autumn in September, and although it was not cold, the fire was already lit in the temple.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Zang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and bowed to Li Xian and said, "I took the liberty to come to disturb His Highness today because of the impeachment of Cui Ming, the county lieutenant of Wannian County, by Yushitai. ”

Cui Ming's matter ended so easily.

Looking at Lu Zang, who looked dashing on weekdays, with this embarrassed appearance, Li Xian waved his hand boringly, and said: "In this matter, Lu Shilang has been transferred to the Guozi Division, and it is enough for him to do a good job in the affairs of the Guozi Prison, as long as he does not participate in other things, no one will do anything to him, as for Cui Ming, find a way to transfer to Taiyuan County." ”

Looking at the back of Lu Zangyong leaving, Li Xian shook his head slightly, the children of the family are not Lu Zangyong alone in the East Palace, at this time, only he came forward to intercede, and Lu Zangyong's thoroughness of things is far from enough.

"The Cui family tried their best to place Cui Ming in Wannian County, naturally they wanted to take the opportunity to do something, how to let go easily." Li Xian sneered slightly.

Lu Zangyong didn't lie, and arched his hand: "Yes! ”

This is the family, for more than a thousand years, the whole world, all the same.

Although it was Peng Wangfu who promoted this case at the beginning, now Li Xian is also eyeing him.

"Rejoice, everybody." Li Xian nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "This year, the princes have worked hard, and the orphan will ask the emperor to praise you, but before that, the East Palace has prepared a luncheon, and you can go over now." ”

Plead for mercy, but you don't want to take out anything key and useful, what's it?

Cui Ming is the son of Lu Chisong's granddaughter.

Today's situation, Chang'an Wannian, Luoyang Henan four counties is absolutely impossible, then there is only one road left, the northern capital Taiyuan.

……

"Your Highness, Deng Shilang Lu Zangyong asks to see you."

But in today's situation, even if the Cui family has thousands of relationships, without Li Xian's nod, they will not be able to go to Taiyuan easily.

If these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods on the ground in Chang'an are not cleaned up, what will they do if they endanger themselves in the future.

Li Xian waved his hand and said: "Wannian County, heavy land, Wannian County Ya is next to Princess Taiping's mansion, if Wannian County Lieutenant is not used, I am afraid it will endanger the safety of Taiping, since Cui Ming is not powerful, then change to a competent one." ”

Luoyang, Zhenguan Palace.

"Whoa!" The chamberlain bowed his hand and retreated.

Li Xian gave face, and Lu Zang suddenly sobered up with his originally somewhat chaotic mind, and he hurriedly said to Li Xian: "Your Highness, the minister will go home immediately and find someone to transfer Cui Ming out of Wannian County." ”

"Zuo Xiang, Pei Xiang, Xue Xiang, Ouyang Shangshu, and the crown prince, all suggested that it was most timely to send troops from Luo Dao, and it was best for King Peng to lead the troops into Anxi and belong to the Duke of Pengcheng County, after all, King Peng was the old department of Pengcheng County, and cooperation was not a problem." Empress Wu frowned and looked behind the curtain.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Zang prostrated deeply.

But Lu Zangyong's face is only here, for Lu Zangyong himself, when he arrives here, he is enough to be able to confess, but the Cui family may not be willing.

Li Xian waved his hand, looked up at Lu Zangyong, and said: "Lu Qing, the face is lonely for you, if the Cui family is unwilling to accept it and does not want to be transferred, you don't want to come to find the orphan, understand?" ”

Li Xian attended Wu Chenghe's funeral in Chang'an in July, and now two months have passed, and the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is still vacant.

Li Xuan's operation, ostensibly aimed at Cui Ming, was actually aimed at Lu Zhen.

"When Lu Qing was appointed by Cui Ming, he should completely avoid suspicion." Li Xian stared straight at Lu Zangyong, his face cold.

"Since it's not that you don't want to do your best, then it's a lack of ability, Wannian County is important, if you feel that your ability is insufficient, it's better to abdicate and let Xian." Li Xian raised his head and looked at Lu Zangyong indifferently, Lu Zangyong immediately looked awkward, bowed down and said, "Your Highness." ”

But in the depths of everything, it is aimed at a Shangshu of the Cui family, as well as a prime minister.

When the ministers left, Li Xian looked down at the report in his hand, Fanzhou has indeed had a bumper harvest this year, and the people's families have more than a year's worth of grain, which is extremely rare.

"Whoa!" As soon as the voice fell, Lu Zangyong, who was dressed in a dark green official robe, had already walked into the hall.

"So, when you came today, are you interceding for Cui Ming or Lu Zhen?" Li Xian stared straight at Lu Zangyong.

Li Xian saw all this very thoroughly, not to mention the calculations in it, Li Xuan didn't hide it from him from the beginning.

Lu Zang bowed his head with some shame and said, "Uncle, and cousin......"

At the beginning, Cui Ming awarded the official Wannian County Lieutenant, although it seemed to be a step-by-step procedure, but the Wannian County Lieutenant was sensitive after all.

Lu Zang bowed his head in a deep voice, he knew that the matter would eventually come back to this point.

It shows that after the big war, there is no strength left for them to advance again.

Even if Cui Ming is transferred, the case at hand can still be investigated.

In the 10,000 years of Chang'an, Luoyang Henan was under the jurisdiction of the east and west capitals, and Taiyuan County was under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan, the northern capital, and they were all at the same level.

Immediately, Li Xian couldn't help but shake his head, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, even if it is still vacant now, there is no Li Xuan's ......

Behind the deep curtain, Li Zhi's figure sat in it.

Now, the key figures of the Cui family and the Lu family have not ended, but they just let Lu Zangyong come forward to intercede.

"Your Highness." Lu Zang smiled bitterly and said: "Wannian County's solution to the case is not a stagnation, but the case is complicated, there is a lack of evidence, and it is difficult to have effective measures, and it is impossible for Cui Ming to do his best." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." The ministers surrendered at the same time.

There are indeed some talents in the family, but these talents are in the minority, it is nothing more than the family working together to push the resources up, and when it reaches a certain level, and then use him to make profits from his own family, and those who are pushed out, even if they are talents, are not easy to control at this time.

Li Zhi raised his head slightly and said, "What does the queen think?" ”

"It turns out that you are all from your own family, so Cui Ming is also Lu Langzhong's nephew?" Li Xian looked straight at Lu Zangyong.

Do you just use Lu Zang's face to intercede?

Li Xian calmly looked at the stack of bullet stamps on the left, then nodded, and said: "Gu guessed, in the past few months, Wannian County has been full of things, and cases have been accumulating. ”

Li Xian was silent for a moment, looking at Lu Zangyong, he finally nodded lightly and said, "Lu Qing, please get up." ”

What to do by taking the opportunity, what to do when the emperor is seriously ill, it is not a difficult thing to guess.

After the curtain, Li Zhi nodded slowly, and finally spoke: "I need King Peng by my side in the first month of next year, I am not in good health, and the prince is unspeakably stable, let King Peng return to Beijing." ”

Empress Wu nodded: "Huh! ”
