Gao Anxiang spoke eloquently and did not think that what he did was wrong at all. Suddenly, he cupped his fists and said to everyone, "Master Zuo Prime Minister, colleagues, I have always been fair and just in doing things. I have never favored anyone or deliberately made things difficult.
Who, after all, this matter has been approved by you, now that your Majesty is having trouble, you can’t blame the next person, right?”
There were all shrewd and sophisticated people present, and they could tell at a glance whether Gao Anxiang was telling lies or lies. Of course, no one would offend him for an unrelated Ling Yun.

Therefore, everyone remained silent in a tacit understanding.
At this time, He Yushan coughed twice and stood up to act as a peacemaker, "Ahem... Colleagues, we are all adhering to His Majesty's will and working together to do things impartially. There will be no difficulty. Furthermore, this matter belongs to everyone."
We all agree that if something goes wrong, we can’t just blame someone in the team.”
Gao Anxiang bowed his hands and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your explanation. If not, I would have been wronged!"
…
Gao Anxiang and He Yushan sang in harmony, making it clear that they wanted to say that everyone was responsible for this matter, and there was no need to say who was at fault.
When Wang Yangyu saw this, he couldn't say anything else. He could only bite the bullet and said, "Okay, okay... You all have your reasons, and I don't want to say more about the truth. Next, Your Majesty gives us one day to renegotiate and come up with a result.
If not, think about the terms of your official career, where you came from, and where you will go back."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and turned pale.
Gao Anxiang frowned and asked, "Prime Minister Zuo, you didn't scare me into waiting, did you?"
Wang Yangyu looked at him and said with a smile, "Scaring? Haha... You think too highly of yourself. If anyone doesn't believe it, they can go to the palace to meet His Majesty. It's useless to talk about the truth."

Wang Yangyu didn't like him to begin with, but now that he didn't believe him, he just made him speechless.
Brother Dongfang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, stood up and said seriously, "In that case, let's wait and discuss it later! Otherwise, in the end, everyone will have to leave if they can't take it anymore."
Having said that, everyone knew in their hearts that even if they couldn't come up with a solution in the end, they wouldn't all be fine. Of course, Emperor Qianxi would definitely be angered. In the end, if one more person was introduced to take the blame, they could get away with it.
As for who to push out, that is another matter. Everyone's heart is as bright as a bright mirror, and no one wants to take the blame.
Qiu Yingcai also echoed, "Come on then! We will act according to the regulations. Even if His Majesty is dissatisfied, he will not be angry at that time."
"So good!"
…
Just like that, a group of cunning old guys gathered together and continued to discuss Ling Yun's military exploits and how to reward them. Who would have thought that they would start to quarrel again right from the start.
Dongfang He and Gao Anxiang were at loggerheads, and Gao Anxiang and Ling Yun had conflicts. During the discussion, Gao Anxiang kept denying this and that, and in the end, Dongfang He became angry.
He was seen menacingly, pointing at Gao Anxiang's nose and asking loudly, "This won't work, that won't work either, Gao Anxiang, what are your intentions?"
When Gao Anxiang heard this, he was not angry and said gently, "Master Dongfang, we are discussing, why are you so angry?"
"I'm angry? Haha... Gao Anxiang, who doesn't know that you and Ling Yun have a bad relationship? Now that you see him making a contribution, you try every means to press down hard. Why... are you worried that one day, Ling Yun will return to the capital to settle the score with you?"
The corner of Gao Anxiang's mouth twitched. His grudges with Ling Yun were well known to everyone, but no one would point it out in front of him. Now that Dongfang He had broken the skylight, there was a hint of anger on his face, "Master Dongfang, I advise you not to hold your tongue.
Bloody people, we are all doing things according to the regulations, why should we criticize him? Besides, what am I afraid of? I, Gao Anxiang, do things fairly and justly, and deal with matters as they are... Even if that kid really comes back, what can he do to me?"
Dongfang Hebu said angrily, "It's best this way!"
He Yushan stood up again and advised the two of them, "Okay, you two, stop arguing."
The two stopped, and Qiu Yingcai said, "The post of prefect remains unchanged, and a baron will be added. What do you think?"
"No!"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Yushan immediately objected.
Everyone looked at him.
He Yushan suddenly felt that something was not good. He had an idea and looked at Gao Anxiang. He said thoughtfully, "Everyone, it's not that I don't agree with you. It's that I think what the Minister of Punishment said is reasonable. A guilty person."
, don’t reward people lightly.”

In the end, He Yushan just didn't want to. No matter how low the rank of Viscount was, it was still a real title and it was hereditary. Although several of them present were in high positions, they didn't get this kind of treatment. How could he be willing to let Ling Yun get it.
Qiu Yingcai paused, looked at him and said weakly, "But Prime Minister, this is already the lowest reward."
He Yushan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then continued, "I don't have a title, but it's not impossible to add a little bit more to it."
Hearing this, Gao Anxiang was inexplicably flustered, so he reminded him from the side, "Right Prime Minister, Ling Yun has been an official in the court for less than a year, and he is already a fourth-rank official. We have never seen such a young fourth-rank official in the court.
If you add it higher, I'm afraid it won't be in line with the court etiquette."
Gao Anxiang's meaning is very clear. According to Ling Yun's age, the fourth grade has already reached the end. If you add more, you will pass.
After he said this, everyone rang out. Ling Yun had been an official in the court for less than a year, and now he was from the fourth rank. According to their discussion, it would be the end if he was given the fourth rank. If he increases it at this time,
, based on emotion and reason, it cannot be justified.
Everyone looked at each other and showed no intention of speaking. Suddenly, the discussion reached a deadlock again.
It would make sense to give him a title, but Gao Anxiang and He Yushan were opposed. Even if others didn't give Gao Anxiang face, they wouldn't dare not give He Yushan face.
Everyone had no choice but to look at Qiu Yingcai. After all, marching and fighting was a matter for the Ministry of War. No matter what, he had to come up with an idea.
In front of everyone, Qiu Yingcai was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that the ball was being pushed back and forth, but why did it get pushed in front of him?

I had no choice but to lower my head and think, hoping to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. After thinking for a while, my eyes suddenly lit up and the corners of my mouth slightly raised, obviously I was confident.
Looking around at everyone, he slowly said something that made everyone unbelievable. He only heard him smile and say, "We can't continue to add more civil servants, so why not... add a military attache?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
After a long time, Wang Yangyu was the first to speak, "Attache, well~ this is a good idea. Since the civil service is over and the title cannot be given, then we can add a military attaché."
He looked at the crowd and said, "What do you think of this method?"
“This is a good method!”
He Yushan also nodded.
Dongfanghe also agreed.
…
Finally it was Gao Anxiang's turn.

Looking at the people with glaring eyes, Gao Anxiang could only nod in agreement.
Wang Yangyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
"Now that everyone agrees, let's talk about which grade of military attache is more suitable?"
When Gao Anxiang heard this, he immediately wanted to do something small, and immediately said with a flash of light, "How about... setting it at the sixth level?"
"Sixth grade? No, no, no... no!"
Qiu Yingcai refused.
He Yushan stroked his beard and said, "Let's go to the fifth rank! What do you think of appointing a Xuanfu envoy?"
"This is reasonable, what do you think?" Wang Yangyu nodded and looked at the others.
The left and right ministers had already nodded, and even if they had opinions, they did not dare to express them, so Ling Yun's discussion on the reward came to an end.
