"Sage, Weichen begs to let the portrait of the King of Bohai County enter the Lingyan Pavilion!"

After Yang Qixuan bowed, he handed over the piece that had been written long ago with both hands and handed it to Gao Lishi, who had already understood it and came to take over the chapter.

Li Longji's calm face was finally moved. The wrinkles on his forehead have stretched slightly.

"Aiqing's words are unknown, and I don't know what it means."

Li Longji said while flipping through the recitals, pretending to be confused.

In the history of Fang Chongyong's previous life, Li Longji was named the "King of Linzi" when he was young; But in this life, before he ascended the throne, he was named the "King of Bohai County".

Therefore, the entry of the "King of Bohai County" into the Lingyan Pavilion has a very special political significance, and it cannot simply be regarded as the emperor running into the Lingyan Pavilion to join in the fun.

Anyway, this is the case, just hang the portrait of Li Longji wearing the prince's robe when he was young in the Lingyan Pavilion, this is not the key to the problem, and it is not difficult to do.

How to characterize this matter and how to interpret it is the core priority.

Yang Qixuan is Li Linfu's son-in-law, and Li Linfu is borrowing his mouth to say what he wants to say but can't say clearly.

At this moment, both those who knew and those who didn't know in the Zichen Hall held their breath and calmed down to listen to what Yang Qixuan would say.

"During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the government was dark, and the people were not happy.

At that time, the king of Bohai County had no choice but to set things right, and he made great contributions to the country, and he could enter the Lingyan Pavilion.

As for the Bohai County King who later became today's saint, it does not affect the achievements of the Bohai County King in that year.

Chaowen Dao is dead, this matter has been delayed for so many years, and it is time to make up for it.

Please see the saints, please see the court and the public. ”

Counselor Yang Qixuan held back the strong discomfort in his heart, and frantically patted his sycophants with his conscience, and there was no cover at all.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the courtiers in the Zichen Palace, who were unaware in advance, even Li Linfu on the side was a little stunned.

His son-in-law, Yang Qixuan, is a little rough in his work!

Even if he was instructed by the saint to explain it like this, this guy could explain it tactfully! How can there be such a straightforward slap on the back, without concealing it at all!

Li Longji's face was also a little unbearable, and he looked embarrassed for a while and didn't know what to say.

He couldn't say: I just deserve such an honor, and it is you courtiers who owe me an explanation for so many years!

"Presumptuous! Nonsense! Don't quit yet! ”

Before Li Longji could speak, Gao Lishi couldn't help but step forward and scold.

Yang Qi retreated into the sequence of ministers, and glanced at Li Linfu with some weakness.

Seeing his father-in-law's knife-like eyes, he couldn't wait to unload himself, Yang Qixuan's heart suddenly went up and down, and the triumphant just now suddenly dissipated without a trace!

Li Linfu was also very depressed in his heart.

Fang Chongyong's sober and alert person is really good, but he really can't get it! Then there are only some materials and what dishes to push out Yang Qixuan's waste.

So far, there is no turning back from the bow, Li Linfu feels that he can't stand up anymore!

"Sage, Weichen thinks that although Dr. Yang's words are suspected of grandstanding, but since the beginning of the century, the princes of the court have worked hard under the leadership of the sage, and now my Datang has become famous all over the world and suppressed the eight wildernesses, but it is also an indisputable fact.

Back then, Emperor Taizong had twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and later joined Wei Zheng, who took people as a mirror. Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the exploits of many civil and military generals have gradually been forgotten by later generations. It is indeed necessary to add some new heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion to show that my Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers have passed on the torch.

Wei Chen thought that the matter of adding new portraits of heroes to Lingyan Pavilion could indeed be discussed in the court. It's just that today's incident happened suddenly, which is not very convenient, and it can be discussed another day. ”

Li Linfu said unhurriedly.

Because his son-in-law was not strong, no one came to "praise" him, so what should be said and what should not be said, Li Linfu finished it in one breath. All in all, in one sentence: he also agreed to the reopening of Lingyan Pavilion, and he could only discuss the details if he wanted to discuss!

"Brother Nu has a point."

Li Longji nodded slightly and said.

Perhaps he also felt that the time was not yet ripe, so Li Longji added another sentence and said: "This matter will be discussed next time." ”

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Li Linfu Shi Shiran retreated into the sequence of ministers. He saw that Li Shizhi, the left prime minister, was looking at him with surprised and incredulous eyes, and he couldn't help suppressing the sneer in his heart, so that it would not appear in his facial expression.

Reopening the Lingyan Pavilion and increasing the number of heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion, how to say this, in fact, many people in the court are looking forward to it. This incident may only smash the gold-lettered signboard of "Lingyan Pavilion", which is not beneficial to the country as a whole.

But for some political forces, this is not the case.

For example, if Brother Ji wants to add Zhang Jiuling to it, then the "literary faction" officials in the court, such as some people in the Hanlin Academy, such as Zhang Jiugao, the younger brother of Zhang Jiuling who was the governor of Luoyang, will not stand up against it.

Isn't this Brother Ji condensing the power of the court?

Therefore, in the face of this kind of situation in which the saints are secretly advancing and the courtiers are happy to see it, the only way to do it is to follow the trend.

Or just learn from Zheng Shuqing, before "I don't know" about it, I will protect myself and run away. Otherwise, as long as today's court meeting is over, even if you resign, you are disrespecting the saint and deliberately embarrassing the saint!

Yes or no, it is necessary to express one's position, even if a central official has already been lying on the coffin board waiting to die, he must give the saint an attitude before he dies!

"Youzhou Jiedu made Niu Xianke seriously ill and could not be a director, so he resigned.

Who in the court can succeed the Ushicyclamen? ”

Li Longji suddenly threw out the second major issue of the day.

An Lushan did a great job in Pinglu Jiedu, greatly expanding his troops and horses, and frequently attacked in border towns, penetrating deep into the Khitan territory to capture prisoners. Although this greatly intensified the ethnic contradictions on the northern border of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang monarchs and ministers did not think that there was anything wrong with this from top to bottom.

Since the Khitan people are not satisfied, then it is enough to be subdued, and Huairou is not necessary.

Niu Xianke served as a festival envoy in Youzhou, and in recent years, he has mainly recuperated and recuperated, and his "achievements" are far less dazzling than An Lushan, and even seem incompetent and mediocre.

Therefore, there have always been voices in the court, hoping that after Niu Xianke leaves office, the imperial court will grant An Lushan the post of envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, which will help the management of the border town.

I have to say that if this proposal is only viewed from the perspective of border defense, it is indeed a good move to adapt to the current situation. The defense area of the Youzhou Jiedu envoy and the Pinglu Jiedu envoy overlapped, and many times it was necessary to exchange news, or even join forces to cooperate with the troops.

The soldiers and horses of the two towns are dispatched by one person, which can indeed prevent the situation of the Wuzhou New Year and the Yingzhou Rebellion in the north to the greatest extent.

However, unlike the notoriously self-conscious and unsupported cattle cyclamen, An Lushan is not only from a mixed background, but also ambitious and not satisfied with the status quo. Once he took control of the two military towns in the north, no one knew if the imperial court would be able to restrain An Lushan.

"Fang Quanzhong is responsible for rectifying the Guanzhong Forbidden Army and forming the Shence Army to protect the safety of Chang'an, so there is no need to say anything about recommending him."

Li Longji made up for it again.

Many courtiers who wanted to stand up and speak unconsciously retracted the steps they had just wanted to take. In fact, there is no one more suitable for the post of Youzhou Festival than Fang Youde, not to mention that he has also served there, so he is simply familiar with it.

Whether it is personal ability, personal prestige, or connections and familiarity with military affairs, Fang Youde is the first choice of the envoy of Youzhou Festival.

He had the merit of saving the driver before, and he also had Li Longji's trust, and it was impossible for him to collude with An Lushan.

But Li Longji spoke, Fang Youde is not bad, but I need him to train the forbidden army by his side! Naturally, the road is blocked!

"Sage, the emperor can go to Youzhou to replace Niu Xianke."

Li Shizhi came out of the queue and saluted Li Longji with his hands crossed and said.

He succeeded Zhang Shouqi, and while serving as the left minister, he also served as the secretary of the military department. Huangfu Weiming is in Tuntian in the Longyou region, and there are some political achievements, at least the army of nearly 100,000 people in Longyou has not run out of food, which is already very rare.

It's just that Huangfu Weiming has no military exploits for the time being, and it is difficult to say whether he can hold the field when he goes to Youzhou.

The Youzhou area was made by An Lushan's radical policy, and the Tang army had to be ready to fight at any time when it left the mountains north of Youzhou City.

In fact, An Lushan asked for instructions many times to serve as the envoy of the Youzhou Festival, and expressed his willingness to give up the Pinglu Jiedu envoy he is currently holding, because the weight of the former is much higher than that of the latter!

The economic strength of the Pinglu Jiedu was very limited, and it had to rely on the continuous supply of the imperial court.

However, the jurisdiction of the Youzhou Jiedu envoy is connected to the rich Hebei Province to the south. Even if there is no constraint from the imperial court, An Lushan can find a way to "support" himself after serving as the envoy of Youzhou Festival, and he doesn't even need to do the matter of "reselling" Khitan slaves.

Li Shizhi proposed to let Huangfu Weiming replace Niu Xianke as the envoy of Youzhou Festival, but no one was willing to stand up and oppose it. Because if you oppose it and can't put forward a better plan, then An Lushan will inevitably serve as the envoy of the two towns.

If something happens in the future, no one can afford to take such responsibility!

"What do you think?"

Li Longji asked with a smile.

"Weichen thinks that Pei Min can be the deputy envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, and he will stay behind and make the military envoy of the Jingsai army."

Li Linfu stood up and saluted with his hands crossed.

He did not object to Huangfu Weiming serving as the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, but put forward a "supplementary opinion", allowing Pei Min to be reappointed from the military envoy of Longhua to the military envoy of Jingsai, and served as the deputy envoy of Youzhou and Jiedu!

After staying, it is the acting title set when the Tang Dynasty festival envoy and observation envoy are absent. To put it simply: if Huangfu Weiming is unable to serve due to illness, or dies, or is dismissed by the imperial court, then Pei Min, who serves as the queen of the post, can directly exercise the power of the envoy of the festival.

Until the next Youzhou Jiedu envoy takes over power!

In the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there were examples of the death of the temperance, so the emergency policy of "staying behind" was implemented by the Datang Center with a very serious attitude, and it was not dispensable. Of course, if the temperance enables the normal exercise of power, then the stay is only the last, and there is no superior power.

Not to mention the transfer of troops and training.

It is very appropriate to understand it according to the rule of "the will automatically takes effect" in Fang Chongyong's previous life.

In other words, Li Linfu did not agree to let Huangfu Weiming serve as the envoy of the Youzhou Festival, but it was obvious that he did not want An Lushan to serve as the envoy of the two towns at the same time, so he could only make a "small patch".

"In this way, let Huangfu Weiming go to Youzhou to take up his post, and Pei Min will serve as the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and stay behind."

Li Longji said tiredly. Now he is very slack in the affairs of the imperial court, and almost only expresses his opinion on matters related to major personnel appointments.

"By the way, Fang Chongyong is rushing to Longyou's post, so let him serve as Longyou's queen."

I don't understand what this Tang Dynasty emperor thinks, Li Longji suddenly said a decision that made all the courtiers speechless.

So much so that they don't even know how to oppose it.

The official appointments in the Tang Dynasty were all a series of combination punches in order to exert real power. Sometimes, as long as one of these combinations is missing, the officials concerned will not be able to do things.

For example, the combination of official positions of "Hubu Shilang + Salt and Iron Envoy + Transit Envoy" has been held by the senior officials who have managed the imperial court's finances since the Middle and Tang Dynasties.

If there is salt and iron, there must be transshipment, and only in this way can we ensure that the salt and iron taxes of the imperial court can be collected. If only the salt and iron envoys are given and not the transfer envoys, then this official is likely to be played to death by the transfer envoys of the hostile forces in the DPRK and China!

The same is true for the official position of the poster, which is analogous to the "heir to the inheritance"!

If you don't add official positions such as "so-and-so military envoy, deputy envoy of Jiedu" in front, it will only be a pure title, and not a single soldier can be mobilized in the border town.

Li Longji appointed Fang Chongyong as the queen of Longyou, but did not add other official positions, this appointment is no longer a child's play that can be described by two words, but to the point that those who oppose it are too lazy to speak.

Oppose it, in fact, it has no effect, because this official position is unlikely to have an effect, and opposing this appointment will only offend Fang Youde and Fang Chongyong's father and son, or the kind of completely meaningless offense.

Don't object, it seems to be insulting your own intelligence.

"Saint...... It's just a post-mortem position, and it doesn't make sense to let Fang Chongyong hold it.

Either give him the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu and the military envoy of the Lintao army, or simply don't leave the queen.

He also asked the saint to retract his ordination. ”

Li Shizhi is a sincere person, and what the ministers in the court and the central government are unwilling to say was said by him.

There was a faint sound of light laughter from some people in the Zichen Palace.

Originally, the unspoken rules are well known, not to mention the best. But now that someone has spoken out, it seems that Li Longji is not doing things properly.

Is Li Longji deliberately playing monkey or unintentionally playing monkey?

Did he deliberately bully Fang Chongyong to be young and ignorant, or did he inadvertently ignore that Fang Chongyong didn't understand the unspoken rules of officialdom?

The ministers in the Zichen Hall looked at each other, fortunately Fang Youde was not here, otherwise, he would probably be embarrassed to the ground to thank him.

The particularity of the post-stay is that even if the festival degree makes it impossible to serve the council, the post-stay is only temporary. Without the appointment of the imperial court, the person who served as the queen could not automatically become the next Jiedu envoy.

In other words, the predecessor of the Jiedu envoy had an accident, and he was left behind to take his place temporarily. After the arrival of the next festival envoy, it is likely that this post-ulcer will continue to serve as the post-empress!

What was the official position before, and what is the official position in the future, it is equivalent to working in vain!

And as long as there is no accident in the moderation, then the power left behind will never be "opened".

What is the meaning of such an appointment?

Some of the more energetic courtiers have a retrospective, isn't this a bit similar: during the window period of the change of the festival envoy, I let your boy have a good time in the border town.

Something like that.

"I have made such an appointment, I have my own opinions, and there is no need to make a fuss about the left minister.

Imperial court officials do not have to play a role. ”

Sure enough, Li Longji said lightly, not bothering to explain. He himself regarded this incident as a joke, and he didn't want to hold Li Shizhi accountable for contradicting him at all.

……

Fang Chongyong didn't know anything about the series of shabby things that happened in Chang'an City, in fact, even if he knew, he couldn't do anything.

It's better not to know, and the heart is more relaxed.

When Fang Chongyong and his entourage went out of Qinzhou (Tianshui) and went to Weizhou, they passed by the Luomen River located on the post road. In the history of Fang Chongyong's previous life, in the middle years of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo theory was afraid of attacking the Tang Dynasty and gathered his troops in Luomenchuan, which was enough to see the key points of this place.

This is the only way to Longyou, according to the post road planning of the Tang Dynasty, there should be a post station called "Luomen Station", but they did not find any open post station nearby.

There is only one "ruins" that seem to have been abandoned for several months or even more than a year, and the plaque between the two wooden poles outside the courtyard seems to vaguely write the words "Luo" and "Yi", but the handwriting is blurred under the wind and rain.

The door of the post house courtyard was wide open, and in fact, there was nothing that could not be opened, because even the door panel was removed by someone. In early spring, the yard is overgrown with weeds, and the yellow earthen walls still bear the mottled traces of time.

If someone says that this is a haunted house, Fang Chongyong believes it! Even the "furnishings" inside are not as good as the legendary haunted house!

"This is a post station?

Can't you say it's called Luomenyi, just take away the door panels, right? ”

Pei Xiu asked in disbelief.

She asked a very good question.

It is hard to imagine that in the post station of Datang, there will be a water post with three large dining rooms, which can accommodate hundreds of people, and even the post horses have more than 100 horses. The scale is not far behind the small town.

But there is also a drop door post in front of which there is nothing inside, and even the door panel has been demolished!

"Didn't you catch some rabbits and marinate the meat last time you hunted, and now it's just right to use it. Spend the night here tonight, and then make a fire in the yard. ”

Fang Chongyong didn't pay attention to Pei Xiu, but gave an order to He Changqi.

"Spend the night here."

Pei Xiu looked at the dim sky, and heard a crow quacking in his ears, and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"What are you afraid of, I followed Fang Jieshuai and killed those chaotic people under Yangzhou City, so that the moat was red, and I was not afraid at all. What's so scary about all of this now? ”

He Changqi mocked Pei Xiu and led Guan Chongsi and the others to get busy.

"The farther west you go, the more desolate it becomes."

Pei Xiu couldn't help but sigh, he was too lazy to quarrel with He Changqi.

"Compared to the Tibetans, these are nothing."

Fang Chongyong said to Pei Xiu Zhengse. After speaking, he took out the Wuduo hanging on his waist and picked up a small stone on the ground.

He pointed to a branch not far away and said, "I can break that, believe it or not?" ”

"You just blow it, how can you hit this kind of thing, and it's not an arrow."

Pei Xiu, who was shallow, said disdainfully.

"Huh."

Fang Chongyong sneered, shook Wu Duo casually, and the stone flew out, breaking the very thin branch not far away, which Pei Xiu was very surprised to see.

"Every Tibetan person basically has such a level. For them, it's as simple as eating and drinking, and you say that the Tibetan people are terrible or not. ”

Fang Chongyong said to Pei with a calm face.

"Well, why don't you send someone to take me back to Chang'an."

Pei Xiu asked with some concern, looking down at the ground with a weak heart.

Fang Chongyong waved his hand, too lazy to talk nonsense with this person.

It's all here, how can there be a reason to go back to Chang'an.
