Li Chengqian said this, which made Fang Xuanling feel a little embarrassed. It seemed that he had a small belly and a small amount of energy.

"Your Highness, you are polite. The old minister and their father are ministers in the same palace and have been friends for many years. Naturally, I will not argue with them. The old minister is just afraid that they will ruin the Northern Expedition. When the time comes, I will not be able to explain it to you and your majesty.

of."

Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Teacher, you are indeed the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He is really big and can tolerate things that are unbearable in the world. I really admire Chengqian, but they really need someone to take good care of them, otherwise they would still be in trouble."

I don’t know what trouble will happen in the future. I don’t know if the teacher has a suitable candidate.”

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while and said: "Your Highness, have you ever heard of Liu Rengui, the Prime Minister of Luoyang County?"

The county magistrate was too young to be an official. He had never heard of it, so he asked: "What talents does this person have?"

"In the early years of Wude, Ren Gui, the pacifying ambassador of Henan Province, drafted a memorial to discuss state affairs. After Liu Rengui saw the draft, he revised a few sentences for him. Ren Gui was surprised by his talent and knowledge, so he ordered him to join the army for Xizhou.

Later, Liu Rengui was transferred to Chencang County Lieutenant. At that time, Lu Ning, the captain of Zhechong County, relied on the fact that he was His Majesty's personal soldier and indulged in breaking the law. The successive Chencang County Magistrates were unable to do anything about him.

After Liu Rengui took office, he specifically warned Lu Ning not to commit the crime again, but Lu Ning remained as violent and arrogant as before, so Liu Rengui beat him to death with a cane. Officials in the state reported the matter to the court, and his Majesty said angrily: "A county captain actually beat him to death."

My Captain Zhechong is dead, are you planning to rebel?"

So he summoned Liu Rengui to the court for questioning, but Liu Rengui replied: "Lu Ning insulted me, and I killed him for it." His Majesty believed that Liu Rengui was resolute and upright, so instead of punishing him, he promoted him to the position of Prime Minister of Xianyang County. What do you think if you let him

He serves as Sima of the Hangzhou Navy, so it is not easy to control these two bastards."

Li Chengqian thought about it and realized that he was really a hateful character. Calling this person as Sima would put a tight spell on these two troublemakers.

"Teacher is really good at recognizing people. Well, I will appoint this person to be the Sima of the Hangzhou Navy."

...

Li Jinghuan and Li Chongyi respectfully kowtowed to Fang Xuanling to apologize, while Fang Xuanling showed the magnanimity of a prime minister and treated them with sincerity. Now they understood that they were really wrong.

The generals were all offended, and even though their father was a prince, there was nothing he could do about it.

This is something that even Li Chengqian doesn't dare to do. It shows that these two guys are really brave. If they don't find someone who can control them, they won't go to heaven.

Seeing Fang Xuanling leaving, Li Jinghuan patted his numb legs and tried to get up, but when he looked up, he saw Li Chengqian's serious expression, stuck out his tongue, and did not dare to move.

There was silence in the study. Li Chengqian ignored the two of them and just commented on the documents on the case. Li Jinghuan was usually more out-of-the-box, so he could stand such a serious atmosphere. He said to Li Chengqian with a grimace: "Your Highness, this is all my attention. You

If you want to be punished, you can punish me and it has nothing to do with my brother."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your Highness, please don't listen to his nonsense. I am the eldest brother and the responsibility lies with me. Your Highness, please punish me."

Seeing the two people rushing to take responsibility, Li Chengqian felt a little better. After all, no matter how bad they did, they still cared about their brothers' feelings. This was very rare among the royal children, unlike his brothers.

So he sighed, stroked his hands to the two of them, and motioned for them to get up. "You guys, what do I, a brother, say? Everyone, please sit down."

"Your Highness, all the ministers are too arrogant and domineering, and have put Your Highness in a difficult situation."

Li Jinghuan still felt a little dissatisfied when he heard what his brother said, and murmured: "It's not like those people in the Ministry of War look down on others. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to fight with them, let alone contradict the Prime Minister."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but shook his head. The military has always been ranked according to seniority, no matter what your background is. As long as your seniority is not deep enough and your military exploits are not high enough, you will not get respect from others.

The two brothers were only partial generals in their previous military positions. Of course, the officials in the lobby of the Ministry of War who were used to seeing generals would not take them seriously.

So he explained: "This is normal. Not only the Ministry of War, but also every government office in the Tang Dynasty is like this. I, the prince, are often rude to you, not to mention you. As long as you have made enough merits, don't be afraid of the consequences.

gain the respect of others.”

"Okay, let's forget this matter. The prime minister recommended a powerful Sima to me, named Liu Rengui. When he was a county lieutenant, he dared to kill his immediate boss. He was an upright minister and a ruthless character. With him

Watching you two can help you avoid a lot of trouble."

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, the two brothers both had grimaces on their faces, which is understandable. Neither of them wanted to be looked at by such a person.

"Okay, don't be so sad. I heard from the Prime Minister that Liu Rengui is very talented. I will meet him in a few days.

But to say hello to you two in advance, don’t act like a member of the royal family. As long as someone is talented, we will make good use of them." Li Chengqian said this, what else could they do, so they both nodded in agreement.

.....

Liu Rengui was very strange when he was on duty at the Luoyang government office. He had no acquaintances in the court, so why did the Ministry of Public Affairs send him a document asking him to report it.

A confused Liu Rengui handled the transfer paperwork under the strange eyes of his boss and set off for Chang'an.

"Your Majesty Liu Rengui, I have met the prime minister." Looking at this energetic young man in his twenties, Fang Xuanling nodded with satisfaction. He heard about Liu Rengui's deeds from Li Shimin when he was chatting with the emperor. The emperor was

I am full of praise for him. It seems that this young man is really good today.

"Liu Rengui, that's good, no gift required."

After sitting down, Fang Xuanling smiled and said to Liu Rengui: "Haha, I must be still confused about the appointment of you to Chang'an by the Central Secretary."

Liu Rengui cupped his hands and said, "The prime minister is aware of this, but my subordinates are really confused."

"The imperial court is going to establish the Hangzhou Navy. This time, the Prime Minister recommends you to the Crown Prince to be the Sima. You will go to the East Palace to admonish His Highness soon."

Liu Rengui was even more confused. Fang Xuanling was the prime minister and there were many people who wanted to join him. He didn't know him at all, so why would he recommend him?

"Excuse me, Prime Minister. I'm an outspoken official. I speak out when I have something to say. My official position is inferior to me. Is it because I was promoted too quickly when I became Commander of the Navy? Besides, why does the Prime Minister care so much about my official?"

Fang Xuanling smiled, this Liu Rengui was really a firecracker, and such a person was really suitable to live under that person.
