Chapter 1782 Li Shimin, who has prepared several plans, can't help but be a little confused
Li Shimin strode through the side door and entered the Zhenguan Hall. He glanced at the civil and military ministers who had already entered the hall to wait for him, and then saluted.
Then all the ministers returned to their respective small couches and sat down. These were the Tang Dynasty, Qin, Han, Tang, and even the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Both the monarch and his ministers had seats. It was not until the beginning of the Song Dynasty that the rule of the monarch sitting while the ministers stood was established.
Li Shimin also slowly sat behind the imperial court. After that, some ministers stood up to speak, and the court meeting was about to begin.
There were several important government affairs that had been discussed at court and the results were obtained, but no ministers came forward for the time being.
Li Shimin's gaze subconsciously glanced to the side, and Fang Xuanling, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, who understood the situation, came to the foot of the stairs and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"I wonder what Fang Qing said?" Li Shimin nodded towards Fang Xuanling and asked with a hint of doubt in his gentle expression.
Several ministers who were about to go out could only stop for the time being.
Seeing Fang Xuanling standing up, Cheng Yaojin suddenly became energetic and looked over there.
"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, for decades now, the world has returned to its heart, and all nations have surrendered..."
Hearing what Fang Xuanling said, General Cheng rolled his eyes. Hey, if these gentlemen are talking, they want to get to the point, but they are still far away.
He retracted his neck angrily and continued to brag and spank in low voices with a group of old brothers, but he did not forget to stick one ear open to listen to what was happening on Fang Xuanling's side.
Anyway, the general meaning is that the Tang Dynasty was peaceful and the people were peaceful, singing and dancing were peaceful, but after all, there were still some lawless people who liked to act recklessly and recklessly.
Now the assassination of the prince, as well as the previous assassination of His Highness King Wu, have sounded the alarm to the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the safety of His Royal Highness must be taken care of, and Fang Xuanling only noticed it during this period.
Among the three divisions of His Highness the Crown Prince, there have been the Crown Prince's Grand Master and the Crown Prince's Tutor, but they only have the position of Taibao. There has never been a Crown Prince or Taibao.
This was a dereliction of duty on his part as the prime minister, so he specially apologized to His Majesty. According to the Book of Rites, if you enter, you will be protected, and if you leave, you will have a teacher. This is how virtue can be achieved through teachings and metaphors.
Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to follow the etiquette and rules of the past and select the best among the many distinguished ministers in the court to be the Crown Prince's Taibao.
"Damn it, I finally heard something serious."
Until this moment, Cheng Yaojin, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, wiped his face, slapped his thigh with a big hand and tried to get up.
But he was quickly grabbed by Li Ji beside him. "Old Cheng Modong, you are too eye-catching when you go out at this time, making people think it was arranged in advance."
"That's fine, that's all. Let them act. Lao Cheng, I'll just squat down and see how long they can tinker with it."
Cheng Yaojin was so scheming that he reacted immediately, rolled his eyes, and sat down calmly, waiting for the follow-up development.
Although it was originally arranged in advance, the black whistle should not be too black. At least everyone in the civil and military circles of the court understood that the reason why the black whistle was blown like this was because he had a black reason.
Li Shimin stroked his long beard and asked Fang Xuanling with a smile.
"The words of Fang Qing's family are very much in line with my wishes. I wonder if Fang Qing has a candidate?"
Fang Xuanling seemed to be lost in thought. After taking a few breaths, he bowed to His Majesty.
"I think that General Zuotunwei, Duke of Lu State, Cheng Zhijie, can take on this important task."
"..." All the ministers and servants all turned their attention to Cheng Yaojin. At this moment, General Cheng sat up straight as soon as possible.
He straightened his chest and retracted his abdomen, assuming the most standard sitting posture, raising his eyebrows and widening his eyes.
You act like a mother-in-law who dares to say that I am not good enough, and I will never stop fighting with you.
The candidate proposed by Fang Xuanling was Cheng Yaojin. All the important officials in the imperial court understood this matter with their toes.
It was possible for the Prime Minister to take the initiative to recommend candidates to the court for the crown prince's Taibao.
It definitely can't be Cheng Yaojin, it can only be His Majesty. After all, every candidate for the Third Prince's Division has passed His Majesty's eyes.
Although Cheng Yaojin was hated by all the civil servants, he was quite popular among the military officials.
The more than ten elders of shareholders of Han and Tang trading houses alone accounted for a considerable share of the important officials of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, there should be no one on Wu Chen's side who would overestimate his ability and try to compete with Cheng Yaojin.
Although some civil servants were very unhappy, they had no say in the matter of the prince's Taibao.
After all, to protect the safety of the prince, we need military commanders. You gentlemen are going to be gibbering. Haha, that stinky snail in the court will never end with you.
Not only him, but also the gang of friends around him will definitely take the opportunity to intervene, and when the time comes, the court will be in chaos again.
When the time comes, your Majesty may be expressionless on the outside, but he may actually be enjoying the scene after watching the big show.
Another slap on the case, a final decision, and then a slap on the butt and a runaway. This kind of routine has been seen too many times by everyone.
But in the face of this rogue trick, no one could do anything. After all, pinching couldn't defeat those vulgar warriors who liked to jump up and down in the court.
Even if everyone is just talking lip service, Cheng Yaojin is definitely a person who can compete with other scholars.
This guy never talks to you, but his provocation skills are absolutely perfect. Often, people will be aroused by this guy with just a few words, and they will forget about the serious things in the first place.
#####
Seeing the dead silence below, only Cheng Yaojin bulged his eyes and looked around with a fierce look.
A group of civil servants all had expressions of disgust, but no one spoke. This atmosphere was really weird to the extreme.
This made Li Shimin, who had already prepared several plans for today's meeting, feel a little confused.
I originally thought that there would be a very fierce fight between dragons and tigers, or maybe a war of words first.
Then they began to criticize each other, and finally got into physical violence. At that time, they stepped in to calm the situation, and then solved the problem with a decisive blow.
But now, everyone is looking at me and I'm looking at you, but they don't even let out a fart, so how can this continue?
Feeling that he had fallen into a passive position, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his face. No, he had to show his strong field control ability at this time.
"Dear gentlemen, do you have any objections?"
His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's inquiring tone rang out in the Zhenguan Palace. Unfortunately, all the civil servants still looked like they were carved from clay and made of wood.
I was thinking straight in my heart, if Your Majesty thought that Cheng Yaojin was not good enough, you would have raised objections yourself.
You haven't expressed your position now, it's clear that you have recognized Cheng Yaojin in your heart, but now you say such things.
It's as obvious as a trick to lure the enemy, do you think everyone will be fooled?
