"Oh! Changsun Wuji can't stand up now and comes out to support me. Although I don't have a big official position, my position is so low that I dare not forget about the country. How can you, a villain who wears the hat of a high-ranking official in the imperial court but pursues selfish interests all day long, live like this?
Banweiwei, do you have any evidence that Cheng Chumo was drunk in a small official's house and went crazy? Do you think your son is a good person, but he just didn't meet the official yesterday, otherwise, hehe..."
"It's a good saying that I don't dare to worry about my country even though I am humbled by my position!"
At this time, Li Shimin could no longer let the situation continue to develop. Although he enjoyed this state of mutual restraint among ministers, as an emperor, he must have a good sense of proportion at critical moments, otherwise, once the situation gets out of control, it will
This was not the result he wanted. Xu Tian's sharp words gave him an entry point to intervene in the matter, so he took over Qin Wenyuan's words.
But only he knew whether Li Shimin's words were a compliment or a sarcasm, and he continued to speak softly.
"Okay! Don't continue to argue about these trivial matters in the palace. I have decreed that Cheng Chumo and others should be sent home to reflect on their transgressions. Sun Chong, a high-ranking official who has no official status as a young minister of Zongzheng Temple, will be fined one year's salary as a warning.
As a follow, Zhang Gongjin must not interfere with the responsibilities of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion in the future, otherwise he will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take charge of civil affairs."
Damn it! This emperor is good at playing Tai Chi, and he can handle the matter easily and skillfully by playing fifty big boards each. It seems that the status of the eldest grandson family in the eyes of the emperor is quite high. If there is a chance, I will do it.
I want to meet Chang Sun Chong.
After listening to the emperor's oral instructions, Qin Wenyuan thought this way, but unexpectedly, Li Shimin suddenly changed his tone and talked about Liaodong affairs to the ministers...
I could only hear Li Shimin saying seriously in the main hall.
"My dear friends, the Eastern Turks have come under my rule. Except for Tuyuhun and Gaochang in the west, my country is now under the influence of the minority regimes in the northeast. Liaocheng and Songmo have been under the rule since the Sui Dynasty.
There are a large number of Han people living there. However, due to historical reasons, there are many disputes in the area. As a result, the population is sparse and a large amount of land is abandoned. I want to send people to the Pingzhou area to exercise their yamen powers and gradually naturalize many ethnic groups in the area to the Tang Dynasty.
, I wonder if that dear friend is willing to volunteer to go to Pingzhou City to preside over the government and relieve the imperial court from its worries."
Li Shimin looked at Qin Wenyuan and downplayed the matter. Qin Wenyuan immediately understood the emperor's strategy of retreating to advance. Read the book
It’s hard for this old man to be an emperor! He clearly knew that my young master had already set his sights on that place, but in order not to attract the attention of the aristocratic families and nobles in the court who were good at smelling blood and stinging it, he pretended to discuss the matter in court.
, indicating that the complicated situation here caused the ministers of these aristocratic families and wealthy families to retreat in the face of difficulties.
Alas! You said that your emperor issued the decree, why do you have to care about the opinions of these aristocratic families and nobles?
However, Qin Wenyuan could not understand the emperor's idea of developing a place without restrictions. With Li Shimin's understanding of the Guanlong nobles and the five surnames and Qiwang, once these families that could affect the structure of the Tang Dynasty started to mess up,
No matter how good your strategy is, it will end up in a mess, and it will take a lot of effort but not achieve the expected goal.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Changsun Wuji, Zhang Gongjin and others gathered together to start discussing. Anyone who saw the desire in their eyes would know what they were thinking... Li Chengqian was already burning in his heart at this time.
The prince of the Tang Dynasty also wanted his subordinates to control the vast area of Liaodong.
The princes and ministers in the palace are all worried about this matter, but most of the court officials are thinking that if they want this place to allow all ethnic groups to live in harmony and develop smoothly as the emperor requires, without the powerful army and the court,
It is almost impossible to achieve a large amount of money and material support.
Only Chai Shao, Qin Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde and others who knew the reason were silent. How could these old foxes not know the tricks Li Shimin was playing? It wouldn't take long for the emperor to have another one.
Despite the rhetoric, these old ghosts who want to covet the rights of that area don't even think about who has the ability and who is willing to use their own resources like Xu Tian's advanced ideas to manage that complicated place.
After half a stick of incense, Changsun Wuji thought he had reached a consensus with his subordinates, so he took a few steps forward and bowed to the emperor before saying.
"Your Majesty! I think that the complex land of Liaodong must be addressed simultaneously before anything can be achieved. I wonder which general the Emperor wants to lead the army to there, and what measures the imperial court will take to vigorously develop it?"
"That's a good question, Changsun Aiqing! I only want to send capable ministers to manage the Liaodong area. The imperial court has not taken any measures to help its development. Everything is left to the ministers who go there to carry out military, political, and people's livelihood matters."
The purpose is to make the various ethnic groups in the area accept Tang laws and assimilate smoothly, so that it can become a barrier for the northeastern region of the Tang Dynasty to attack and defend freely, and to ensure that the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty will no longer be intruded by the ethnic minority regimes in the region. In view of the current situation in the Tang Dynasty,
Regarding the national power of the Tang Dynasty, I hope that powerful aristocratic families or nobles will use the power they have accumulated over the years to take the initiative to petition to go to this place to govern to relieve the imperial court. Is the eldest grandson Aiqing willing to let your eldest grandson family go to this place to govern?"
Changsun Wuji undoubtedly gasped after hearing the emperor's words. He had no idea that the emperor had this idea of just reaping the benefits without spending a penny. Who the hell would be willing to do such a laborious task?
What a pleasant thing.
The old boy's eyes rolled around, and suddenly he fixed his eyes on Xu Tian and thought, why not let this boy go to that place? Wouldn't this not only expel this boy from the circle of powerful people in Chang'an City, but also put him in that place?
Whether you can save your life by fighting against a strong man is another matter, but wouldn't it play a greater role than seeking revenge on this kid in Chang'an?
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji thought he had a plan, and immediately spoke to the emperor again.
"Your Majesty! When it comes to this ability, I think that General Qin Wenyuan of Chariots and Cavalry is well-deserved. With Master Qin's full range of civil and military talents, he is the best choice to manage the land of Liaodong. Although I have some grievances with Master Qin, I think that General Qin Wenyuan is the best choice."
The common people of the Tang Dynasty, in order to open up the emperor's kingdom for eternity, they still have to put aside their own trivial matters and recommend Mr. Qin to take on this important task. Please allow your Majesty to report to you."
Li Daozong, Wang Yuting, Zhang Gongjin, Wei Ting and other ministers and nobles who were dissatisfied with the emerging family like the Xu family suddenly heard what Changsun Wuji said. At first, these ministers were a little confused about what kind of crotch fever this guy Changsun had.
After what he said and what the emperor said, he finally realized something. They all implied that Changsun's reaction was not as fast as everyone else's... At that time, Li Daozong, Wang Yuting, Zhang Gongjin, Wei Ting and other ministers were all in the hall.
He went out to stand with Changsun Wuji, and after paying homage to the emperor, Wei Ting, the doctor of history, spoke loudly.
"Your Majesty! We listen to what Mr. Changsun said and find it very reasonable. At the same time, we admire Mr. Changsun for his noble sentiments for the country and the people. Liaodong cannot be a minister like Mr. Xu who is decisive and has rules. We agree with what Mr. Sun said.
, please give your permission."
Seeing that these big shots who usually wanted to kill Qin Wenyuan were so abnormal today, except for the few ministers who knew that this was just a plot by the emperor to eliminate restrictions on Xu Tian, the other ministers thought that Changsun Wuji was very cruel.
, actually reported in front of the emperor that he wanted Xu Tian to go to that bitter and cold place at a young age. Without the support of the imperial court, wouldn't it be that he would die in vain.
And there are wise ministers such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng who always feel that the emperor's words today seem to have a profound meaning. It seems that the emperor and Xu Tian have a tacit understanding with each other. Looking at Xu Tian's calm and calm expression,
, with a half-smiling look, the more this idea took shape in the minds of these ministers, the ministers who originally wanted to speak for Qin Wenyuan to shirk such errands, now wanted to see whether the emperor and Qin Wenyuan were as they thought.
That's just acting.
Seeing Changsun Wuji and other ministers like this, the joy in Li Shimin's heart was as good as eating ice cubes in the dog days of summer. The old emperor stroked the long beard on his chin and said to Qin Wenyuan with a smile.
"Qin Wenyuan! All the ministers in the imperial court have recommended your boy to go to Liaodong to take charge. Do you have the ability? Are you willing to share my worries?"
"Your Majesty! A minister is just a brick of the Tang Dynasty. Wherever you need it, you can move it. As for your ability, I'd better be humble and don't talk about it, lest others say I'm arrogant. If the emperor decides to ask me to go to Liaodong, I'll do my best.
Just do what the emperor ordered."
"Well! Your attitude today is quite good. However, I want to tell you carefully that the imperial court can only give you an imperial edict in Liaodong without other help. Everything must be solved by yourself. Do you want to
Think about it, if you have any other needs, you can put them forward now. As long as they don't involve money and food, the army can agree to it."
After the emperor said this, he looked at Qin Wenyuan, his eyes seemed to be saying.
"I have cleared the obstacles for you, the rest is up to you!"
Qin Wenyuan understood and said slowly to the emperor with a smile.
"We thank you for your trust in the emperor. I have nothing else to ask for from the court. I can only ask the emperor if you can allow Luo Shiyi and several of my brothers to accompany you. At the same time, I have the courage to ask for official status in front of the emperor on behalf of several brothers so that I can deal with it."
Liaodong Liaodong is a good name and a right thing to do."
After hearing what Qin Wenyuan said, Cheng Yaojin spoke anxiously before the emperor expressed his position.
"Your Majesty! Weichen's son Cheng Chumo often said at home that he wanted to make some contributions to the Tang Dynasty. This time Qin Wenyuan went to Liaodong. Weichen kindly asked the Emperor to allow my son to go with him so that he could learn some military and political skills from this boy. In the future
He has become the pillar of my Tang Dynasty."
After hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, all the ministers felt a chill in their hearts. Damn it! Your generous son is still a pillar of talent, so don't laugh at me... Just when Li Shimin was thinking the same thing.
, Yuchi Jingde also said loudly.
"Your Majesty! I also want my son to follow Qin Wenyuan to Liaodong for training, and I ask Your Majesty to grant it."
Qin Qiong and Fang Xuanling heard what Yuchi Jingde said, and then they followed suit.
"Your Majesty! Instead of sitting idle in Chang'an City, we, my son, should go with Qin Wenyuan to Liaodong City to practice. After gaining some military qualifications, we can lead the army in battle in the future. Please do it, Your Majesty!"
However, Chai Shaoyin heard what his son said that Qin Wenyuan asked him to wait at home until his wife gave birth to a son before going to Liaodong. Chai Shao felt that this was reasonable and wanted to go to the emperor with several ministers to ask the emperor for a job to Liaodong for his son. Now, now
I have to put it down first and talk about it later.
After Li Shimin quietly listened to the requests of several ministers, he knew that these families had already known about Qin Wenyuan's expedition to Liaodong, and they allowed his son to follow him. This shows how much these families valued Qin Wenyuan's abilities. If they couldn't
Get some benefits, otherwise who would be willing to let their children go to such a far place.
"Qin Wenyuan! You are willing to allow these boys from the Duke's family to accompany you to Liaodong. Does what you said earlier about getting official positions for your brothers have something to do with these boys?"
"Your Majesty is really alive during the reign of Yao, Shun, and Yu. You can guess what you are thinking in your heart!"
When all the ministers heard that Qin Wenyuan compared Li Shimin to the wisest emperor in ancient times, they all admired Qin Wenyuan's ability to flatter him. Not only was this boy super capable, he was also good at flattering the emperor.
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this kid's metaphor from Qin Wenyuan's mouth. It is said that if you wear a thousand clothes, you will never wear a flattery. Who doesn't like other people's praise of themselves? So he smiled and said to Xu Tian.
"I have agreed to your request and asked a few boys from the Duke's family to follow you to Liaodong!"
After saying this, Li Shimin continued.
"Hanlin bachelor, please read out the edict! Qin Wenyuan sent the fourth-rank cavalry general to lead the governor of Pingzhou to oversee the military and political affairs of the cities in Pingzhou. Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, Yuchi Baolin, Fang Yiai, Luo Shixin, etc. were all enthroned as sixth-rank cavalry captains and were controlled by Xu Tian.
, I will leave Chang'an immediately and go north to take up my post. I admire you here!"
After the emperor issued the oral edict, Hanlin scholars drafted the decree and sent it to various ministerial provinces. In this way, Qin Wenyuan's idea of exploring the land in Liaodong finally had the support of legal principles, and he could confidently implement his plan.
Looking at everything that happened in the palace, Changsun Wuji and others gradually began to feel that something was wrong. What they didn't know was that although the emperor intended to hand over the matter to Qin Wenyuan, he was actually interested in the strength of the Qin family. At the same time, more importantly,
The point is that Xu Tian regards this as his ideal for the people rather than just plundering. This can play a greater role in the empire than many powerful families who do this. As the emperor of the empire,
, what he wants is an ideal minister like Qin Wenyuan.
Soon the Hanlin bachelors wrote the imperial edict. After the emperor used the jade seal, the edict was read out in the palace.
Qin Wenyuan received the imperial edict and shouted long live. In the main hall, the imperial secretary, ministers, ministers, and military leaders all came forward to congratulate him.
Changsun Wuji and Zhang Gongjin waited until now to realize that what happened in the hall was probably some kind of agreement that the emperor and Qin Wenyuan had reached long ago. Since the imperial edict was issued, they had to suppress the hatred in their hearts. Qin Wenyuan was usually unhappy.
People like Li Daozong also pretended to come forward to greet Qin Wenyuan and feign congratulations. This is the intrigue in the officialdom. On the surface, everything seems calm, but in fact, there is a turbulent danger hidden secretly.
