13:o2

The Tang Dynasty immediately ordered someone to prepare 100,000 taels of silver tickets for Gao Lishi, invited him into the secret room, and stuffed it into his hand with his own hands.

Gao Lishi was a little surprised, where did this guy get so much spare money, I heard that when he was fighting in Lingnan, all the military expenses were paid by himself, why is it 100,000 taels now, which is worth the property of a rich family, but a person like him, how can he not accept it if he has money, so he accepted it happily, but muttered in his heart, does this kid dare to do illegal things and take all the minerals mined in Lingnan as his own?

Hehe, he immediately understood, after all, he used to be a native of Lingnan, knowing the situation in that place, it turned out that the emperor did not pay his military salary, which happened to fatten this guy, it is natural, this kid makes money in the local area, mining deposits, that is also a logical thing, since the emperor does not pay military salaries, he has to raise his own funds, I can't imagine this, he openly takes the gold and silver mined for himself, it is not illegal, hehe, this kid is a lucky general, there is no doubt, the emperor thought that in this way, It will make the Tang Dynasty army disheartened, and the army will be defeated soon, so he can change another person to lead the troops, and also achieve the goal of fighting the Tang Dynasty, I can't imagine that this kid is smart Tianzhong, and he actually defeated Meng Xiao and quelled the Lingnan rebellion. In this way, even if he leads troops to mine gold and silver in large quantities, the emperor can't do anything to him, others do the law, but he does it is a matter of course, after all, he can't win the battle without giving the army food, if he blames the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the world will laugh at it, and they all think that Li Longji is a person who has no measure, if he does that, it is better to kill the Tang Dynasty on a trumped-up charge, but Li Longji is obviously not shameless to such a point.

Hehe, give me 100,000 taels, this is obviously looking up to me very highly, which shows that this person really accepts me, but he can be married to Austria, after all, now Wei Jian has been removed, and what he has to deal with is only Zhang Qiu and Qiong and the newly emerging Yang family, now, Yang Guifei is favored, the Yang family is simply rich and noble, many people are in important positions in Beijing, I heard that there is a Yang Guozhong is a very scoundrel, but he was entrusted by the emperor to the high position of a judge, and in the future, such a big man in the Tang Dynasty is what he must befriend.

pretended to excuse himself several times, and then accepted the heavy gifts of the Tang Dynasty, said a lot of things like pick-up, and left.

Tang Dynasty couldn't sleep this night, I was so happy, I was the prime minister, I really became the prime minister!

Although the edict is already in hand, there is always a feeling of emptiness in the Tang Dynasty, as if this is not true, can I really be on an equal footing with Li Linfu now?

He knew that as long as Wei Jian was eliminated, the affairs of the world would be in the hands of himself and Li Linfu.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Tang Dynasty fought with Qin'er several times that night, crazy with joy, fell into a state of selflessness again and again, and finally hugged his wife and had countless good dreams.

When he hadn't woken up from his dream, a small yellow door came to the Tang Dynasty mansion and said that the emperor had urgent matters to look for him, and asked him to meet the emperor immediately.

As soon as the Tang Dynasty heard the maid's words, she turned over and got up, but Qin'er immediately entangled him like a snake, she has often been "beaten" by the Tang Dynasty recently, and her ability and interest in certain aspects are increasing day by day.

But the Tang Dynasty knew that this was a hundred thousand urgent things, so he had to comfort him with kind words and went to the Imperial Garden-

In order to express his intention to receive the Tang Dynasty, Gao Lishi had sent someone to the Tang Dynasty Mansion early this morning to spread the word, saying that the emperor would not set up a court today, but he summoned himself alone, which showed that the matter to be dealt with was huge, and he entered the imperial garden with some trepidation.

He thought he could see Yang Guifei, but unfortunately, Li Longji only summoned him alone, and when he looked at him, his eyes were very cold, and he had a playful feeling: "Tang Aiqing, please take a seat!" ”

The Tang Dynasty sat down, and suddenly appeared, the guards at the door had been completely removed, leaving only himself and the emperor in this empty Taiji Palace, full of boundless luxury of the imperial court.

"Emperor Xie, I don't know why the emperor summoned Weichen?"

Li Longji smiled: "Weichen, hehe, Tang Dynasty, you don't have to be called like this in the future, you are the prime minister of my Tang Dynasty, and your position is not low, so you will be directly called a minister in the future!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" The Tang Dynasty was very excited, if yesterday's edict was fake, and now I heard Li Longji say it in person, then there is still a fake, and then I really know that I finally became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty!

"Tang Dynasty, I came to you so early today for the edict issued last night, and I want to talk to you about it!"

"Yes, if you have anything to ask, the minister must say everything, and there is no end to it."

"Good! I believe that you don't dare to hide it from me, then let me ask you, Wei Jian proposed to me to resign some time ago, I thought he was just talking, but yesterday he came to me, insisted on resigning from the position of servant, and also recommended you to be his successor, do you know all these things? ”

Tang Chao's heart was shocked, and he muttered for a while: "The minister has heard that before Wei Shizhong left office, he personally came to my house to find me, saying that he wanted to recommend me to the emperor, I thought this was a long time later, I didn't expect him to be anxious last night, hey, Wei Shizhong has been in the court for decades, and has made great contributions to the emperor, this return to the forest spring is indeed a big loss for the emperor and the world!" ”

Mom, if you want me to say it, I'll say something empty and irrelevant, depending on what you say.

Li Longji also echoed and sighed: "Not bad! But I saw that he was very determined, so I agreed, after all, his age is really not young, and I really have no reason to force him to stay, so I had to agree to his resignation, however, the official position of this Tang Dynasty is sealed by me, he recommended it to me, but he did not have the power to influence me, I thought about it carefully, the reason why I immediately issued the edict last night was because of the Wei servant who begged me for my sake, he said, 'The minister has served the emperor for thirty years, and he is confident that there is still a small merit, One of the things before leaving was to recommend the successor of the Tang Dynasty, and asked the emperor to see the minister Bo Mian, and agreed? But I didn't have a good relationship with him, so I agreed to him, do you know that my relationship with him is not ordinary? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Wei Jian is your minister, when he seized the door, he resolutely broke away from Empress Wei and helped the emperor ascend the throne, and he had a great merit of supporting him, and the emperor wanted to give him some face!"

"Hehe, it's good that you know this, and besides, he said that this is the last thing he asked me for, and I can't refuse him, after all, you are now the Huangmen Shilang, his deputy, and according to reason, it should be you who take over his position, so I immediately asked Gao Lishi to draw up an edict, and issued it to you overnight, but after I wrote the edict, I felt that there was a bit of a problem."

"Questions?" Tang Chao's heart chuckled, Mom, you won't change your hexagram?

"Tang Aiqing doesn't have to be nervous, it's like this, you are young, if you suddenly become a prime minister, I am afraid that the ministers will not be convinced, although you have also made great contributions to me, begging for rain in Shandong, quelling the rebellion in Lingnan, but these merits have not yet made your position stable, after all, inside and outside the court, there are many people who have made great contributions like you, Zhang Jiuling is one, Niu Xianke is one, Gao Xianzhi is also one, of course, there are many more, and your achievements are on par, I will not give an example, and you are about to marry my daughter Princess Xinling as a wife, I can't change this, this girl also likes you, you are in love, I won't break you up, but, in this way, outsiders will say that I have appointed my relatives, which has a great impact on me and the court, what do you think, what should I do with you? ”

Damn, throw this hot potato to me, hum, listen to what he meant, obviously wanted to change the hexagram, so he said depressedly: "Emperor Xie marries the princess, I think it doesn't matter if I am not the prime minister, as long as I can maintain the good reputation of the emperor and the court, the minister is already grateful, no matter how the emperor treats me, the minister is loyal!" ”

He can only say what he can say, otherwise, Li Longji will put his great guilt on it.

Li Longji laughed: "Very good, Tang Aiqing, you are my future son-in-law, and I am also my son-in-law, to tell the truth, when you were in Lingnan, I also estimated that you would be defeated quickly, I didn't expect you to win, and you won more with less, I really hope that you can be like Li Jing when I founded the country, strategize, win thousands of miles away, and make a contribution to the world, when the time comes, you will be the prime minister again, that is justified!" ”

Damn it**! That's what he said after begging for rain in Shandong before, I can't imagine that the old tune is repeated now, and it is such nonsense, but knowing this, he still has to pretend to be smiling: "Thank you for the emperor's expectations, the Tang Dynasty will definitely do its best, and after death, strive to make meritorious contributions to the emperor." ”

"Very good, don't worry, your position as prime minister will always be, in your heart, and in my heart, from now on, there is no one in this official position in the service, waiting for you to do it, but if you want to make a real contribution, like Zhang Jiuling back then, do you have this confidence?"

"Yes!" The Tang Dynasty raised the voice to answer.

"That's good, I will now appoint you as the protector of Anxi, and take over Gao Xianzhi to guard the Turks and the Silk Road, so as not to fall into the prestige of Gao Dashuai!"

"The minister takes the order!" Tang Chao had no choice but to kneel, his heart was extremely depressed, he had just returned to the court, but he didn't expect to be taken away by the emperor again, he really hated me so much? sighed in his heart, that's it, outsiders say that Li Longji is magnanimous, but he can't imagine that he is a dirty villain!

Indeed, the merits of the Tang Dynasty, among the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, are indeed outstanding enough, even if they are not as famous as Zhang Jiuling, but compared with Niu Xianke, it is indeed more than that, he thought that the emperor last time transferred Niu Xianke from the Lingnan Festival to the imperial court, it was to belittle him, I can't imagine that this person is now Shuofang Jiedu Envoy, not falling but rising, think about it, Lingnan remote place, where can it be compared with Shuofang such a rich product and prosperous place?

But in the feudal era, the emperor's likes and dislikes determined whether you were an official, how big an official you were, and where you were an official, so the Tang Dynasty now had to accept the reality depressedly.

Seeing that Tang Chao's face was a little unkind, Li Longji also felt that this incident had hit him very hard, and comforted: "Tang Dynasty, before you went to Lingnan, I promised you that as long as you put down the Lingnan rebellion, I will marry my daughter to you, and reuse you, now, don't think that I don't like you and want to transfer you to the frontier, but want to hone you, only if you can withstand the tempering, you can be worthy of being the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Yes, thank you for the emperor's cultivation, and you will definitely do something in Anxi!"

"This is my good son-in-law, think about it, how big a place Anxi is, the Turks are rampant, the Hui are harassed from time to time, and there are countless foreigners traveling to and from the Silk Road, there are many things, if there is a war, it will be ten times more difficult than Lingnan, you have to do it yourself!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, however, the minister doesn't understand a little, Gao Dashuai is guarding the border pass well, why should he replace him with me, and besides, the minister also wants to know, if the minister is the protector of Anxi, then what will Gao Dashuai do?"

"Haha, I already knew that you had this question, and told you that General Gao Xianzhi had made a great contribution, and someone had already said behind his back that I deliberately excluded him, but it was actually fake, I wanted him to return to the court this time, that is, I wanted him to act as an agent for the middle of the court, and after two or three years, you will make a change in the Western Regions, do you know what I mean?"

Mother's, it turns out that this is the case, so I had to nod as if I understood: "The minister understands!" ”
