Chapter 2803 Exchange of benefits of Chi Guoguo on the court (seeking
Everyone saw that Dou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who had been strongly opposing Cheng Sanlang just a moment ago, actually stood up immediately.
He ate back the reasons he just said, and Shangshu Dou felt that this young man Cheng Sanlang had outstanding achievements and was very experienced in foreign affairs.
After all, he was on the plateau, after dealing with the Tubo Kingdom and the Xiangxiong Kingdom.
Shengsheng turned the situation where the Tubo family was dominant on the plateau into a story of the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony on the plateau.
Although the style of painting is a bit weird, at least Cheng Sanlang's various tricks eliminated Tubo's idea of annexing Gaoyou Zhuxiong, and Tubo no longer had the ability to threaten the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, if he comes to take action against Japan, there will definitely be no problems.
Even Master Dou reacted, how could others not understand what Master Dou was thinking.
They all stood up one after another to agree with Shangshu Dou. They all felt that Cheng Sanlang's stay in Luoyang was simply a waste of a very capable diplomatic talent.
It would be more worry-free to let that boy Cheng Sanlang continue to stay in the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion.
Cheng Chubi looked at these officials who were willing to give up even the interests within their own duties in order to kick him to Qingzhou.
I feel quite uncomfortable in my heart, and I even have the urge to not leave you, believe it or not, no matter how gibberish you are.
However, considering the problem of his own money bag and the frequent winks from Li Ke on the side, Cheng Sanlang finally suppressed his inner turmoil and let the officials have their way.
As for Li Shimin, the elder who controlled the shady affairs of the court today, he seemed very relaxed and asked Cheng Sanlang with a smile.
"Xianxian son-in-law Chu Bi, what do you think about this matter?..."
"My father-in-law, if you can let your son-in-law take charge of Japanese affairs in the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion, then it is not impossible to go to Qingzhou."
As Cheng Sanlang said these words, all the courtiers invariably let out a sigh of relief.
Li Shimin was also very satisfied. The main reason was that if Cheng Sanlang, his useful son-in-law, could focus on foreign affairs, he would be a little more relaxed.
Moreover, the Japanese country's previous speculative moves also made Li Shimin quite unhappy.
It's just that unlike other vassal states, the Japanese country is connected by land and needs to be reached by sea. Even if the Tang Dynasty wanted to raise troops to hold them accountable, it would not be easy to send troops.
Moreover, Li Shimin had also set a goal for himself, striving to prepare everything within three years to lay a solid foundation for his own expedition to Goguryeo.
If the Japanese country can be defeated, it can be regarded as a lesson to the vassal states around the Tang Dynasty on how to kill chickens and respect monkeys.
Above the court, such an exchange of interests can be regarded as the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
But no matter what, this kid Cheng Sanlang can leave so that everyone can be quiet.
By the way, leaving some space and time for the courtiers to interact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone for everyone.
Of course, just being promoted was not enough reward. The rather generous emperor also rewarded Cheng Sanlang with a lot of property, and even his rank of honorary officer was also promoted.
His Royal Highness, Li Ke, also received a lot of benefits from his biological father.
Even though the money and silk gifted by His Majesty still need to be sent to the mansion on a certain date, this does not prevent Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke from smiling happily and feeling extremely happy.

"Thank you for your advice. Without my father-in-law's good advice yesterday, I'm afraid my son-in-law would not be able to pass the civil and military test of the Manchu Dynasty today."
"Haha, that's it. You don't need to flatter me any more, but I have won the deal for you regarding the negotiations with the Japanese country.
But next, you need to work hard and achieve results.
Not only can you vent your anger for me, but you can also prove to all the officials in the court that you indeed have such ability."
"In the future, I will be able to give you, my virtuous son-in-law, more important responsibilities."
In the Wencheng Hall, Cheng Sanlang understood what Li Shimin said sincerely, and he bowed to his father-in-law and replied sternly.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. My son-in-law must let the Japanese country understand how serious the consequences will be if they offend the sect leader Datang."
"Well, there's also Ke'er. In the past, when the prince paid homage to the governor, he never came in person, and was always taken from afar."
"Only when I come to you and become a real worker, I hope you will seize the opportunity and don't let me down."
Faced with his father's instructions, Li Ke also promised without hesitation that as a governor, he would be humble and cautious. He would ask Li Ji when making decisions about domestic matters and Cheng Sanlang when making decisions about foreign matters.
Seeing that these two juniors had such good attitudes, Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
#####
Cheng Chubi seemed so confident and full of fighting spirit at this moment. As long as he had His Majesty's authorization, Cheng Chubi finally had a sense of enlightenment that he could leap into a vast ocean.
The King of Qi, Li Ke, who was standing side by side with him, was also very flattered. The British Duke Li Ji was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.
With him in charge of the Governor's Mansion, those unlucky guys from aristocratic families would definitely turn their tail between their legs.
Brother Chu Bi has obtained full authority to deal with the Japanese country. Judging from brother Chu Bi's ability, Li Ke feels that it will not take too long.
The Japanese country will understand how stupid it is for them to set up Han and Tang trading houses, which will attract the attention of Cheng Chubi, the new generation of famous generals with the most vivid brains in the Tang Dynasty.
I believe that when the time comes, they will definitely regret why they offended the Cheng family.
"Brother Chu Bi, today is a dream come true for you and me. Why don't you invite your friends to join us today and let us liven things up in my house?"
"Of course there is no problem with this, but dear brother, I am not in a hurry. I want to go back to the Yamen first."
Upon hearing this, Li Ke said somewhat unhappily.
"What are you going to do when you go back? My father has not announced who will be the new Luoyang Order. Are you thinking about handing over now? Isn't it too early?"
"How can this be called early? The handover is the next thing that needs to be done."
"Brother, what I want to do now is to recruit some useful talents for our Qingzhou Governor's Office."
As soon as Cheng Chubi said this, Li Ke immediately reacted. It looked like those two had been tortured thousands of times by Chubi's brother.
But they still treat Brother Bi as if they were their first love. It’s really time to change their job types.
After all, they can be regarded as brother Chu Bi's die-hard lackeys. If a new Luoyang order comes,
Facing these two left officials with physical disabilities, he will definitely have his own thoughts.
Most likely, they will be kicked out.
Fortunately, they have Cheng Sanlang as their immediate boss, who will never abandon them and is even tolerant of them.
Therefore, these two combinations, who are best at adapting to the situation, must obey Brother Chu Bi's will and continue to dedicate their loyalty and ability to Brother Chu Bi.
