Seeing that everyone had already sat down, Changsun Wuji looked at Fang Xuanling beside him and whispered: "Xuanling and I have also discussed that we should first accept the surrender of Tuli Khan and appease the various Turkic tribes..."

Zhang Yang sat cross-legged and leaned against Xu Jingzong, as if he were sitting on a chair.

Xu Jingzong didn't have any complaints, but he felt uncomfortable sitting in Zhongshu Province. Fang Xuanling was also one of the eighteen members of the Qin Palace. Looking at others and then at himself, he could only sigh.

Speaking of which, Ashina Shibobi, the Tuli Khan, was quite pitiful. His biological father died, and his position as the Turkic Khan was taken over by his uncle. It was not easy for him to survive the death of Chuluo Khan, another uncle.

Li Khan came to power.

Until now, Jieli was finally defeated and captured alive by the Tang Dynasty. After surviving two uncles, he thought he could ascend to power.

The journey to the throne was bumpy, Ashinadur was the leader of the Turks, the young Khan of the Turks had to look up to others, Xue Yantuo rebelled again, and other Turkic tribes also followed suit, and now the whole Mobei is in a mess.

I don’t know whether it was due to bad horoscopes or bad luck. The life of Tuli Khan was too twists and turns.

As Changsun Wuji was talking, he saw Zhang Yang whose eyes had already wandered elsewhere and said in a voice: "I don't know what the Ministry of Rites thinks of this."

Zhang Yang wasn't listening at all, and didn't even know what Changsun Wuji said in the second half. He turned to look at Xu Jingzong.

"What Duke Zhao Guo said is reasonable, and our Ministry of Rites thinks it should be the same." Xu Jingzong said quickly.

As soon as the words were spoken, a young man among the many officials stood up and said, "Mr. Zhao, I think that the court should declare the name of Tuli Khan as the orthodox Khan to all the Turkic tribes. This will also deter many Turkic tribes."

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and nodded slightly, "We can discuss it in the long term."

That young man was quite brave enough to give opinions. Having been in the workplace of later generations, Zhang Yang knew that it was very risky to give opinions at this time. Even if you give opinions, your boss would just listen to them. Don’t take your opinions too seriously.

That's right, maybe your boss doesn't take you seriously at all.

After sitting in Zhongshu Province for half an hour, everyone dispersed in twos and threes.

Seeing that Li Xiaogong also left, Zhang Yang and Xu Jingzong also left quietly.

"Who was the young man who gave the opinion just now?" Zhang Yang asked in a low voice.

"Master of the Chaozhong Temple," Xu Jingzong looked around and whispered.

"What kind of official is Shibu Lang?"

"The civil servants who run errands have lower official positions than you and me."

"Can civil servants who are running errands come to Zhongshu Province to discuss matters?" Zhang Yang was a little confused.

"His father is Gao Shilian."

"No wonder."

Whether his relationship can be discussed in Zhongshu Province depends entirely on his father.

"Even Duke Zhao Guogong values ​​him very much." Xu Jingzong quickened his pace slightly.

"That's really a talented person." Zhang Yang sighed with emotion.

"The future is promising." Xu Jingzong also agreed.

Knowing that what Zhang Yang said was ironic, Xu Jingzong just echoed that it was a good thing for young people to be enthusiastic. There were so many wily and scheming ministers in Zhongshu Province, and they were all His Majesty's right-hand men. He wanted to show off too much, and didn't know how high the sky was.

"Huh!" A cold snort came from behind.

Zhang Yang and Xu Jingzong both turned around and looked back. At this moment, Gao Xingyi was behind him. He waved his sleeves and looked at the two of them disdainfully before walking in another direction.

Zhang Yang, who was just talking about him, stopped and asked, "Why is he walking behind us?"

Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "I don't have eyes on my back."

Zhang Yang looked at his back, "Did he look down on us just now?"

Xu Jingzong said discouraged: "It seems so."

Zhang Yang raised his middle finger towards Gao Xingyi's back.

"What does Mr. Zhang mean?" Xu Jingzong asked puzzledly.

"This is what I despise him for."

Xu Jingzong also raised his middle finger, looked at Gao Xingyi's back, felt it and said: "The lower officials also despise him."

On the way back to the Ministry of Rites, Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "Gao Shilian was very famous before. He surrendered to Your Majesty in his early years. He was also the uncle of Queen Changsun, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Duke Xu. Their family had many disciples.

"

On the way, I saw Li Xiaogong and Fang Xuanling arguing.

Li Xiaogong said loudly: "There are some new officials in the court, so why can't we be assigned a few from the Ministry of Rites?"

Fang Xuanling looked troubled, "It's not like Prince Hejian doesn't know that this is the arrangement of the court, and I don't have the final say alone."

Li Xiaogong rolled up his sleeves and said, "You are just bullying me."

Fang Xuanling hurriedly saluted, "I don't have this intention."

"Then give me some people who can do things!" Li Xiaogong's voice became louder.

Fang Xuanling's tone was much lowered, "Prince Hejian, look at how much manpower the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households need. If you have manpower, give it to them first."

"Don't you need my Etiquette Department? There are only three of us now, and there is an old guy who is half-dead at home. How can you ask me, this Etiquette Department, to do anything?"

Seeing that Li Xiaogong wanted to pester him endlessly, Fang Xuanling quickly bowed and said, "This requires others to be willing to come, and we can't force it."

After saying this, Fang Xuanling left in a hurry, fearing that Li Xiaogong would take action. One of them was a scholar, and Li Xiaogong was a martial artist.

This time I went to Zhongshu Province to listen to Zhongshu Province discuss Turkic affairs.

We can also feel from this that the presence of the Ministry of Rites is very weak. Basically, they just follow the arrangements of the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Rites only needs to follow the instructions.

The Ministry of Rites also has a diplomatic attribute in that it also receives foreign ministers during festivals on weekdays.

Logically speaking, the Ministry of Rites should be very important when it comes to communicating with other countries.

Exchanges between countries are no small matter.

All powers in the DPRK are led by Zhongshu Sheng, and then the DPRK discussions are held.

It makes the Ministry of Etiquette feel like it has no status.

When the three of them returned to the Ministry of Etiquette, there was another moment of silence.

Li Xiaogong patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder, "Do a good job for me, don't let our etiquette department be looked down upon."

Seeing the argument between Fang Xuanling and Li Xiaogong, Xu Jingzong felt distressed, "The Prince of Hejian County said that he should not be looked down upon."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Why are these two people suddenly so passionate?

Zhang Yang took a breath and whispered to Li Xiaogong: "What about the alliance we made a few days ago? We agreed to resign together?"

Li Xiaogong frowned and said, "Of course it won't change, but I feel uncomfortable being looked down upon by others."

After saying that, he punched the table and the table gum broke into two halves on the spot.

What a sharp punch...

Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth, but it was a pity that the punch did not hit Fang Xuanling.

Zhang Yangxin said that luckily he didn't hit Fang Xuanling. If the punch was carried out, he would probably be bedridden for several days.

The Ministry of Rites has no power, so it has to ask the central government for power.

It's like snatching a balloon from a child's hand and looking at the balloon floating in front of his eyes. The child wants to catch it. This child himself has never thought that he has already taken the first step in life.

Li Shimin sat in the hall and listened to Changsun Wuji's conclusion of this Zhongshu Provincial meeting.

Looking at the tea eggs in front of him, which were still a little warm, Li Shimin peeled off the eggshell and took a sip. The egg white had a strong aroma of tea.

Seeing that Sun Wuji had finished speaking, Li Shimin asked: "This kid is sharing tea eggs in front of so many people."

Changsun Wuji nodded.

Li Shimin was still satisfied with the taste of the tea eggs. There were tea eggs before, but they were very original. Why didn't he take the initiative to give them to me?

Am I so distant in his eyes?

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin whispered: "Do you think the DPRK should recognize the position of Tuli Khan?"

Nowadays, there are two khans in the Turkic grasslands. The little khan of Tuli is considered legitimate, and the Dubu khan of Dur seems to be self-proclaimed.

After the meeting in Zhongshu Province, the three people from the Ministry of Rites stopped going to the government office very often.

Zhang Yang often took Xu Jingzong to wander around Chang'an City, and occasionally played cards with Li Tai.

Xu Jingzong's card skills are very strong. As a beginner, he seems to have a high talent for this kind of game of mutual calculation.

After losing all his pocket money for a day, Li Tai gritted his teeth and said, "Wait! I will win it back tomorrow!"

Xu Jingzong smiled and took the silver cake he won into his arms.

Zhang Yang did win a bit, but Li Tai, the little fat guy, lost a lot.

Of course he was in a beautiful mood when he won money. Xu Jingzong's face was full of smiles, "Shilang Zhang is so happy."

Zhang Yang raised his hand and said, "I haven't played this kind of chess for a long time... No, it must be that I met my opponent. I haven't felt this way for a long time."

In the eyes of the people in the court, the three guys in the Ministry of Rites were still lazy and idle all day long. The Ministry of Rites had become a scum in the eyes of others.

Changsun Wuji also had people observe Zhang Yang for some time. This kid only knew how to have fun and didn't show any signs of doing anything.
