Qin Shijun had completed the young master's instructions and returned to the mansion to report. He mentioned that Qin Wenyuan's uncle, Qin Shiji, was busy with military affairs and would come to the mansion to meet again after going to court tomorrow. The two of them discussed the Qin family's property in Chang'an City in the study. The butler finished reporting one by one.
When Qin Wenyuan was satisfied, Chen Laosan shouted loudly outside the study door.
"The villain pays homage to the young master!"
"come in!"
Qin Wenyuan was happy after not seeing this guy for nearly a year. When he saw that this guy was now a little stronger than his original slim body, he couldn't help but smile and joke.
"You must have a prosperous life in Chang'an City. You are in better shape than before. Not bad, not bad!"
"Young master, please don't make fun of the villain. My brother, the villain, is eager to follow the master to work in western Liaoning."
"When I come back to Chang'an this time, I want to take your two brothers to Western Liaoning to work, but you have to stay in Chang'an City to continue to take charge of intelligence work and find some reliable and smart boys. When I return to Western Liaoning
Take them away to enrich the intelligence network of Masan’s subordinates.”
Hearing what the young master said, although Chen Laosan wanted to follow the young master to Western Liaoning to do some business, he knew what the information in Chang'an City meant to the young master, and the many Qin family properties in Chang'an City also needed someone to take care of them.
In the study, the housekeeper and Chen Laosan listened to the young master talk about the situation in western Liaoning. In the evening, Chen Laosan and Chen Laoer also came to the house. Qin Wenyuan invited the Chen brothers and the housekeeper to sit down in the hall. After chatting for a while, he ordered the Chen brothers to stay.
I will stay in the house temporarily, and we will discuss it in detail when I come back from handling some matters.
Qin Wenyuan sent Zhou Cang to summon four personal guards to accompany him out of the mansion. Before leaving the house, he returned to his room and said with a smile to his concubine Chunxiang.
"I have to go out to do some things, so just take a good rest at home!"
After saying that, Qin Wenyuan went out and walked away slowly. Chunxiang leaned against the door and looked at her uncle's back. She felt heartbroken to think that her uncle was so busy just after arriving in Chang'an City. However, she didn't know that this guy was busy having a tryst with the princess at this time.
Knowing that, she would secretly scold this guy like Mrs. Murphy, who is nothing but a real stinky man.
After riding several horses to the door of "Tanchunfang", the young man who had been ordered by the princess's wife earlier saw Master Qin coming and diligently introduced Qin Wenyuan and his entourage into the guest room. The young man said.
"My master is waiting for Mr. Qin in the back room. Sir, please go to the back room to meet him alone!"
After hearing what the young man said, Qin Wenyuan ordered him to entertain several personal guards and told the personal guards not to worry about their own safety, but to feel free to drink and have fun here.
Walking slowly around the elegantly decorated corridor, Qin Wenyuan was led by the maid waiting for him at the end of the corridor to a small garden with a special cave in the back. He saw more than a dozen houses in a well-proportioned manner, and the lanterns hanging on the eaves gave off a dim light.
Quiet and quiet, it is really a good place for lovers to have a tryst.
The maid led Qin Wenyuan to an exquisite building in the garden and reported to the master. She waited for him there and then bowed and left.
After returning to the mansion, Qin Wenyuan walked to the bamboo forest where he practiced to meditate. When the sky was bright, the man appeared in the Tai Chi Hall of the palace, fully dressed.
When Xu Shiji, Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other civil and military officials saw Qin Wenyuan entering the palace, they all looked around the boy and looked at him with playful eyes.
, said with a cheeky "hehe" smile.
"Elders, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with this kid?"
Cheng Yaojin showed his yellow teeth and his beard trembled and said softly.
"You guys are so happy waiting in Liaoxi. Come and tell me how you made that old ghost of Khitan Ku Ge admit defeat. Thinking about this, I feel extremely excited. I wish I could go to Liaoxi to have a look. It's better than in Liaoxi. It is much happier to be idle in Chang'an City."
"Brother Chu Mo, didn't you tell your uncle about the affairs in western Liaoning?"
"How could that bastard explain it clearly? I was confused last night. If I hadn't thought that your kid had just returned home, I would have gone to the house to ask questions yesterday."
Qin Wenyuan understood the thoughts of this group of restless battlefield veterans. Just when he was about to give a general explanation of what happened in Liaoxi, Li Shimin and Prince Li Chengqian had already entered the palace.
When all the civil and military ministers saw the emperor entering the palace and sitting upright, they heard the emperor say "Long Live the Mountain".
"Dear ministers, I have received a report from Qin Wenyuan, the history of the Ping Liao Dynasty, to report that major events in western Liaoning have been decided. The Khitan, Mohe, Xi tribe, the old tribe of Eastern Turks and other foreign tribes all expressed their high praise for Xu Tian's merits. In view of the opportunity of stabilizing the situation in western Liaoning, I want to go to western Liaoning. Songmo City established the Songmo Dudufu to manage the tribal forces in Khitan and other Mobei areas. The Dudufu is still controlled by the history of Pingliao in Liaoxi. If you have any suggestions, your Majesty may wish to talk about it."
After hearing the emperor's intention, before the ministers could recover from this important matter, Xu Tian first made a speech to the palace.
"Your Majesty! It is wise to establish the Songmo Governor's Office to manage the affairs of the Khitan and other foreign nations. This will enable the military and political affairs in western Liaoning to be more committed to the development of western Liaoning and to plan and manage affairs in eastern Liaoning and Northeast China. The prince Chai Shaowu has a reputation as a humble gentleman and acts prudently. Wei Chen thought that Chai Shaowu should be the first governor of the Songmo Dudu Mansion, which made Wei Chen and his uncle have a tacit understanding in handling affairs, so that he would be the best candidate. This is also the reason why Wei Chen does not shy away from relatives when he promotes talents, and he also hopes for the emperor's approval."
This guy first proposed that Chai Shaowu be the first governor of the Songmo Governor's Mansion. He wanted to silence the ministers in the hall. He wanted the ministers to know that Chai Shaowu was the emperor's nephew, the son of the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the Duke of Qiao. The eldest son was appointed governor of Songmo, and Xiao Yu, eldest son Wuji, Wei Ting and others did not dare to offend and raise objections, so they could only secretly hate Qin Wenyuan for being too insidious.
Qin Wenyuan had promised Duke Qiao Chai Shao to wait for his sister to give birth to a child and let his brother-in-law go to western Liaoning together. He thought that when he was recruiting people in western Liaoning, if Chai Shaowu and Sima Yuntian were in charge of western Liaoning, he would be able to lead most of his troops there with peace of mind. The development of Liaodong led to the command of troops throughout the Northeast. At the same time, it solved the historical disaster of Chai Shaowu being appointed as the governor of Anxi, and finally preserved the prosperity of the Chai family.
When Li Shimin saw that the ministers in the hall raised no objections to Chai Shaowu's proposal to serve, he secretly scolded Xu Tian for being a cunning bastard.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the ministers heard that it was proposed that a person with this background be appointed as the Governor of Songmo, the two men must have already discussed it. Who would do the thankless job and offend the eldest princess? Besides, Western Liaoning is Qin Wenyuan's territory, so what if he can try hard to replace Chai Shaowu as the Governor of Songmo in the palace? If he cannot get the approval of the military and political affairs in Western Liaoning, he will not be as miserable as the supervisory army sent to Western Liaoning. Lost its whereabouts.
They are all old ghosts in the officialdom. No one would provoke powerful enemies like the Chai family and Qin Wenyuan just for a mere official position.
After a while, there was still no one arguing about the difference between Qin Wenyuan's proposal. Li Shimin continued to speak while sitting on the throne.
"Qin Wenyuan, I want the emperor's son Xiangcheng to betroth you as your wife. I can take advantage of the orderly development of western Liaoning to choose an auspicious day in Chang'an City to complete the wedding. When I return to office in the spring of next year, I will start planning for Liaodong and Northeast China.
"
After the emperor said this, after Qin Wenyuan thanked him, all the ministers went to the main hall to congratulate the emperor on finding a good son-in-law. Only Changsun Wuji looked gloomy and clenched his fists, while Changsun Chong stared at Qin Wenyuan with hatred in his eyes.
monstrous.
After the congratulatory voices of the ministers in the palace paused for a while, Li Shimin continued.
"Qin Wenyuan listens to the decree! I grant you the title of General Huaihua of the third rank, Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Prince Consort and Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast. You will control the entire Northeast including western Liaoning, and all the civil and military officials under you will be promoted to one level!"
After the emperor's oral instructions, although the mentality of the ministers were different, most of them were envious of this boy for reaching such a high position at such a young age, which shows the emperor's love for this boy. However, Qin Wenyuan secretly cursed his cheap father-in-law for being stingy, but
He was promoted from the third rank to an official position, so he should be promoted to the third or fourth rank.
This man thought that it was so easy for the imperial ministers to rise in rank. It seems that all the imperial ministers of his rank had to go through strong winds and waves, trembling and walking cautiously on thin ice to reach such a high position. However, he was still not satisfied.
The minister knew what he was thinking, so how could he be embarrassed?
In fact, Qin Wenyuan's wish is to be a free and happy prince, with a prosperous land that he can be the master of. However, he despises the hard work of holding the power of the world. It is enough to be able to get drunk on the knees of beautiful women and make the family prosperous for generations.
It was precisely because Li Shimin understood Qin Wenyuan's true thoughts and this boy's incredible abilities that he changed his initial methods of suppressing him and became extremely tolerant now.
I think what the Qin family did was just to get the land and become the king. Although Qin Changqing had powerful soldiers, they were mostly for self-protection and did not commit rebellion in the end.
Nowadays, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has been greatly changed due to Qizhou's contribution, and the imperial court no longer has the same economic difficulties as before.
Seeing that Xu Tian had received many benefits from today's court meeting, Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji, Li Daozong, Zhang Gongjin, Wei Ting and other ministers in the court who were dissatisfied with the Xu family were filled with hatred. Although it had been reported from the palace that the emperor had today
The news that the court was going to grant this boy a hand in marriage was still uncertain before the emperor said it himself. But now after hearing the truth, these ministers always found something to disgust them besides the injustice in their hearts. This Tang Dynasty was already in its infancy.
A plump boy.
Wei Ting held his hands in front of you and said.
"Your Majesty! It is not an exaggeration to think that the Prince Consort of Qin will dominate the military affairs of the Northeast at such an age. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has a high and powerful position. I think that a vigorous young man like Prince Consort Qin will inevitably act impetuously when dealing with major military and political affairs. If he can have a veteran minister with high moral character and high respect from the court, he will be in charge.
With the guidance of Western Liao, wouldn't it make Qin's son-in-law more comprehensive and control the Northeast as soon as possible? I hope the emperor will think twice about what he said."
Just as this guy finished speaking, Changsun Wuji took over the topic and continued.
"Your Majesty! What Master Wei said makes sense. The important land of Youzhou in western Liaoning and the entire northeast is an important barrier to the stability of the Tang Dynasty. If there are no prudent ministers here to deal with the harmonious relationship between foreign forces and the Tang Dynasty,
Blindly using force to fight bravely, it seems calm on the surface, but in fact it is full of dangers. I think that Mr. Xu has a great leadership, but! How can he respond to the development situation in western Liaoning? How can he know how to handle the situation in western Liaoning? It is better for the emperor to let the left guard general Hou Jun gather.
How about going to western Liaoning to assist Mr. Xu?"
The words of the eldest grandson made all the ministers in the palace secretly think that this fellow's intention to disgust Qin Wenyuan was too obvious. I want to wait for you to recruit a warrior. How can he know how to govern if he doesn't know how to govern?
, some ministers couldn't help but let out sarcastic laughter in the palace.
Hou Junji heard the eldest grandson's proposal to go to western Liaoning to restrain Qin Wenyuan. He was eager for the emperor's permission. Thinking of the scene where Qin Wenyuan was intercepted at the gate of Chang'an and humiliated by this boy, he naturally wanted to humiliate Qin Wenyuan to resolve the hatred he had formed in the past.
.
Being uneducated is really terrible. Hou Junji didn't know that he was being used by others. He thought that he really had a reputation of being highly virtuous and respected in the court as Lord Changsun said. He secretly rejoiced and felt a little careless. He didn't care about how others looked at him.
The emperor recommended himself.
"Your Majesty! I would like to go to western Liaoning to take charge. Please give me your permission."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
At this moment, the adults in the hall finally started laughing, but they saw Cheng Yaojin laughing and pointing at Hou Junji.
"You don't know that you are being taken advantage of, but you are still obsessed with military and political affairs in western Liaoning, and you don't even look in a bronze mirror to see if you are the material."
"Who are you talking about, old man Chen? Why can't Mr. Hou be in charge of the military affairs of western Liaoning? I think I am also knowledgeable in both civil and military affairs, so what's the point of governing a small place?"
"General Hou, you have such a arrogant tone. Even with your 200 and 50 years of civil and military skills, you can be regarded as a general. You really don't overestimate your abilities."
Seeing Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji facing each other, Qin Wenyuan said sarcastically.
This angered the general Su Dingfang, who was very close to Hou Junji. This man was really a versatile general in the Tang Dynasty. He had long been jealous that Qin Wenyuan had a higher rank than him at such a young age. Hearing Xu Tian's sarcastic remarks
Said angrily.
"How capable is the Prince Consort of Qin to look down on others? He should be more polite when speaking. General Niu is right. How can he not have a common word for "Benben"? Does it mean that the Prince Consort of Qin thinks that there are no people in the world?"
Hearing Su Dingfang's strange words, Qin Wenyuan suddenly felt good looking at this guy. After a while, he finally remembered that this was the vanguard officer of Li Jing's tent during the battle to annihilate Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks. He led 200 sergeants to attack the Yinshan Turks' tent at night.
, although the two of them had a relationship in this battle, they didn't have much interaction. Xu Tian couldn't understand why the guy in the palace was acting like this today. Of course, he didn't bother to think about the reason, but just looked at the guy with some amusement.
He responded with a smile.
"I don't care whether Xu is a capable person in the world today. At least Houjunji cannot bear this title. I think this general thinks he is a wise man. I don't know what to say about this word. How about I ask the emperor and your lords to listen to it?
"
Li Jing's face turned red when he saw Su Dingfang being questioned by Qin Wenyuan's joking words. He knew that this guy was aroused by Qin Wenyuan and wanted to compete with him. He thought that Su Dingfang was a talented person, so why bother to offend Qin Wenyuan for a villain like Hou Junji?
He was about to say something to stop the argument in the palace, but Hou Junji was already angered by Qin Wenyuan's words of contempt for him.
