Today is the day when the Chang'an Order takes office, and many people in the three provinces and six ministries are paying attention.
When they saw the new Chang'an Ling sleeping at the door of Changsun Wuji's office, most officials from the three provinces and six ministries were in an uproar and asked what was going on.
The entire officialdom was shaken by Fang Yuan's behavior, but Fang Yuan, who was involved, didn't take it seriously. He felt at ease and slept at the door of the Minister of Civil Affairs, and he still fell asleep!
Mainly because I’m too tired.
My body was seriously injured and has not yet recovered.
After taking the love potion at Yipinxiang Restaurant, he had intense exercise with Princess Xiangcheng.
As a result, Fang Yuan was so tired now that he fell asleep quickly when he went to bed.
Naturally, Fang Yuan had his own considerations and didn't care at all about his falling asleep.
"Nonsense!"
"How can you take over the Chang'an Order if you are so vulgar?"
After Pei Ji heard Fang Yuan's snoring, his face sank.
He thought Fang Yuan was just showing off and expressed dissatisfaction with his inspection.
But I never thought that I would actually fall asleep, right in front of me.
So disrespectful?
Changsun Wuji and the other three were also in disbelief.
However, none of the three of them spoke, and Pei Ji did the talking.
The news spread quickly, and officials from the three provinces and six ministries were roughly aware of the situation.
For the safety of His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, and the ministers of Chang'an City, Prime Minister Pei inspected the new Chang'an Order.
The text is: If Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor fall into the water at the same time, assuming that neither of them can swim, and there is no one else around except you, who will you save first?
Wu Shi: Lifting a hundred kilograms of stone and holding on for one stick of incense will pass the test.
At first glance, the article question is the most difficult, and the officials who learned the news didn’t know how to answer it.
No matter whether you choose your majesty or the emperor, you will be criticized, even impeached, etc.
But after learning Fang Yuan's answer, they couldn't help but smile in relief, secretly sighing that it was such a clever answer.
As for the answer to the question Fang Yuan pressed Pei Ji, many people sneered, but did not give any answer.
As for the martial arts question, the officials who learned the news thought it was just a question that ordinary soldiers could do, let alone Fang Yuan who killed Ashina Luoyun with his own hands.
But after thinking about it carefully, officials from the three provinces and six ministries quickly understood that martial arts questions were no problem for ordinary generals, but they might not be easy for Fang Yuan.
After all, Fang Yuan was guarding Liaozhou and was seriously injured while fighting Ashina Luoyun. He recovered from his injuries for more than a month before taking office.
It is not easy to recover from serious injuries. Fang Yuan may not have recovered yet.
Lifting a hundred kilograms of weight at this time will undoubtedly embarrass him.
It may even aggravate the injury.
Fang Yuan fell asleep at the door of the Minister of Civil Affairs, which was a silent protest against Prime Minister Pei.
No, no, it was a vocal protest, because Fang Yuan was snoring.
The Imperial City is very close to the Imperial Palace, and what happens here will soon be reported to the Imperial Palace.
Coupled with Li Shimin's special attention, Li Shimin soon learned about Fang Yuan's situation.
"Hahaha... Sleeping in front of the official minister's door is probably only Fang Yuan who dares to do this!"
After Li Shimin learned the specific situation, he couldn't help laughing.
It’s really a flat-bottomed thunderous counterattack, where silence is better than sound.
Pei Ji probably never expected that Fang Yuan would be so careless about his image.
With Fang Yuan lying like this today, who else in the three provinces and six departments doesn't know that Pei Ji deliberately makes things difficult for others?
Fang Yuan originally wanted to wait for Fang Yuan to show his identity after he took office as Chang'an Order.
But seeing the current situation, he decided to postpone it a little and wait for Fang Yuan and Pei Ji to fight again before meeting Fang Yuan again.
"Continue to send people to keep an eye on it."
"Also, remind your servant to not interfere."
Li Shimin ordered.
Someone below immediately obeyed the order and left.
Office of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Pei Ji looked at Fang Yuan who was sleeping with a dark face.
He can probably guess what kind of impact Fang Yuan's move will have.
I just didn't expect that Fang Yuan would be so shameless and fall asleep and snore on the spot.
"Prime Minister Pei, I'm afraid this will have a bad impact."
Changsun Wuji finally couldn't help but speak.
Fang Yuan fell asleep at his door, which was also an influence on him.
"No three or four, moral destruction, no superiority... Young people are young people after all."
"The post of Chang'an Order is of great importance. It is impossible for such a person to be able to sit firmly. Let's re-draw this person's position."
Pei Ji said in a deep voice.
How could he not know that Fang Yuan’s move would have a bad impact?
But should he be asked to wake up Fang Yuan and ask him to stop sleeping here?
That's impossible!
I am Shangshu Zuopushe!
Since you’ve already lost face, you don’t care if you lose face again.
"Is...isn't this bad?"
"The appointments and dismissals of the Chang'an Order belong to His Majesty."
Changsun Wuji suddenly looked confused and said.
"The Chang'an Order is appointed and dismissed by His Majesty."
"But Fang Yuan is not an order of Chang'an yet, and he still returns to the Ministry of Personnel for appointment and dismissal."
"Young people lack training. It is not good for them to be promoted too quickly. They should go to remote places to practice for a few more years."
Pei Ji said in a cold voice with a gloomy face.
Since he is so disrespectful to himself, let him hide in the snow forever.
Even if Du Ruhui comes in person, I will not give him face.
I believe that Wang Gui will not come to help Fang Yuan this time, and no one can stop him.
"But..."
Changsun Wuji still hesitated.
Whether Pei Ji knows he is not sure.
But he knew that Fang Yuan was deeply cared for by the emperor.
With the emperor watching from above, how could he dare to demote Fang Yuan and leave?
Fang Yuan's appointment to the Chang'an Order was personally appointed by the emperor, and he would not go against the emperor.
"Even if His Majesty knew about it, Your Majesty would not blame me."
"The appointment of such a person to the Chang'an Order is a disaster for the city of Chang'an, a disaster for His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, and us."
Pei Ji said firmly.
He didn't know Fang Yuan's status in the emperor's heart.
I just thought that Fang Yuan was more popular with the emperor, but I guess he wouldn’t lose face because of Fang Yuan.
As long as Fang Yuan is moved to another place, then the deal is already done, and even the emperor will be embarrassed to change his orders from day to day, shaking the stability of the imperial court.
"What Prime Minister Pei said is absolutely true."
"Master Shangshu, why don't you let me wait?"
The left and right ministers of the Ministry of Rites stood up and saluted Pei Ji and Changsun Wuji.
"This matter...has nothing to do with me."
Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, shook his head and said.
It's impossible for him to help Pei Ji, let alone Fang Yuan.
So for him, the best choice is to be a bystander.
But such bystanders are not what Pei Ji wants to see.
He took a deep look at Changsun Wuji, waved his hand, and asked the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Rites to carry out the task.
As Shangshu Zuopushe, he is in charge of the six ministries and has the right to directly order the officials of the six ministries to do things, even if he is the minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Just when the ministers from the left and right officials were preparing to go to work, Fang Yuan woke up from his sleep.
He was asleep just now, but he was not very familiar with it. He was very observant of things outside.
After learning that Pei Ji wanted to blame him and leave, Fang Yuan knew that it was time for him to wake up.
"Prime Minister Pei is really powerful. He controls the appointment and dismissal of officials with great control."
"I just don't know which one is greater, Prime Minister Pei's order, or His Majesty's imperial edict."
Fang Yuan sneered.
Take out the imperial edict from your arms.
It is the imperial edict issued by Li Shimin.
It records Fang Yuan’s promotion to Chang’an Order.
Pei Ji and Changsun Wuji watched Fang Yuan take out the imperial edict, and their expressions changed.
Prime Minister Pei’s order is greater than His Majesty’s imperial edict. These words struck a deep chord in the hearts of several people.
Pei Ji and Changsun Wuji did not expect Fang Yuan to come up with the imperial edict.
After all, the imperial edict is to reward everyone in Liaozhou including Fang Yuan, not Fang Yuan alone.
According to normal circumstances, the imperial edict should have been stored in the Liaozhou Governor's Office to warn the governor's officials for generations.
But Fang Yuan actually took the imperial edict as his own and even carried it with him. This was something they didn't expect.
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Pei Ji and others looked at each other, and in the end were reluctant to bow to the imperial edict.
"Is Prime Minister Pei's eyesight dim?"
"Don't you need the official to read these words?"
The corners of Fang Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and he walked towards Pei Ji holding the imperial edict.
When he arrived in front of Pei Ji, he spread out the imperial edict and pointed at the words on it.
"No need, I'm not blind."
Pei Ji sat down on the stool and turned his head away.
He had a sullen face and snorted coldly, not wanting to pay attention to Fang Yuan.
"Two ministers, do you need me to read it to you?"
Fang Yuan gained the upper hand and walked towards the two ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
"No need!"
The expressions of the ministers from the left and right officials also became ugly.
Follow Pei Ji's example and ignore Fang Yuan after sitting down.
Fang Yuan looked at Changsun Wuji who was standing aside, and after thinking for a moment, he did not make things difficult for him.
After all, he didn't deliberately target himself, and he still needed to cooperate with Changsun Chong to do business.
"Don't you even look at it?"
"Then the official will have to work in a remote area for a few years and then come back?"
Fang Yuan sneered.
Finally, his eyes looked at Pei Ji.
Pei Ji's face twitched again, feeling very uncomfortable.
With the emperor's imperial decree, he couldn't say much else.
It is impossible to transfer Fang Yuan to another place before the emperor knows about it.
I just never thought that Fang Yuan would be so mean, using the imperial edict to talk about things again and again, it was too embarrassing for him.
"What do you think, Mr. Pei?"
"Can I take up the post of Chang'an Order?"
Fang Yuan approached Pei Ji again.
Place the imperial decree before him.
With a bang, Pei Ji's face turned a little ugly again.
Finally, Pei Ji snorted, stood up and walked outside.
The two ministers on the left and right also snorted coldly, stood up and left.
This hum is the dissatisfaction and hostility of Fang Yuan.
This feud has been settled today.
"Changsun Shangshu, what do you think?"
Fang Yuan looked at the backs of Pei Ji and others leaving and sneered.
Then he looked at Changsun Wuji who was standing aside and said in a deep voice.
"I've heard of your reputation for a long time, and seeing it today is really eye-opening."
"Fang Yuan, congratulations on your promotion to Chang'an Order, I wish you a bright future!"
Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment and said with a smile.
If Fang Yuan can be promoted to Chang'an Order, he must have gained the emperor's trust.
He and the emperor share weal and woe, so naturally he and Fang Yuan are on a united front.
There is no conflict of interest between the two, so Changsun Wuji will not help Fang Yuan at most and will not be hostile to Fang Yuan.
"Xie Changsun Shangshu."
"I would like to ask, has the process of assuming the post of Chang'an Order been completed?"
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then withdrew his attack stance and said calmly.
His business with Changsun Chong may also involve Changsun Wuji in the future.
After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he is in charge of the appointment and removal of countless officials. It is better not to offend him or not.
"Since Prime Minister Pei has nothing to say, I naturally have nothing else to say."
"Just a moment, I will ask someone to bring you the official seal and official uniform of the Chang'an Order."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said.
He shouted a few times, and an assistant arrived immediately.
After Changsun Wuji gave the order, the man left immediately and came back soon.
"Fang Ling, congratulations!"
Changsun Wuji held the clothes and official seal in his hands and said solemnly.
He looked at the official seal above, looking a little envious.
Although the Chang'an Order is only the fifth rank, below him, it is still the Chang'an Order.
It can be said that the personal safety of myself and others is completely in the hands of Chang'an Ling.
There are two forces responsible for the public security issues in Chang'an City. One is the Chang'an Order, which is mainly responsible for the outer city, and the other force is the Jinwu Guard, which is mainly responsible for the inner city.
However, there is no precise division between the inner city and the outer city. The default is that the palace area within the Zhuque Gate is under the jurisdiction of the Jinwu Guards, and the area outside the Zhuque Gate is under the jurisdiction of the Chang'an Order.
In a word, Jin Wuwei has the right to manage the entire city, but due to his transcendent status, unless it is requested by the emperor or during a war, he is only responsible for public security issues within the Suzaku Gate.
Therefore, to a certain extent, he also needs the protection and safety of Fang Yuan, the Chang'an Order.
"Thank you, Changsun Shangshu!"
Fang Yuan took over the official government seal and said slightly excitedly.
Fang Ling and Fang County Magistrate, although they are one word different, have the same meaning, their meanings are very different.
Chang'an City is the imperial city. As the county magistrate of the imperial city, his status among the counties is undoubtedly the highest, and it is also higher than the average governor.
"I won't keep you any longer."
"Go back and get used to it. It's best if you can take office tomorrow."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Changsun Wuji smiled.
He felt that what happened today should be reported to the emperor.
After all, Fang Yuan sleeping at his door would have too great an impact, at least the entire staff already knew about it.
Sooner or later, the news will reach the emperor, so it is better to go to the emperor in person and report clearly to avoid misunderstandings.
"Okay, farewell!"
Fang Yuan saluted and then left the office of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
After leaving the door, Fang Yuan saw many officials looking at him a little strangely after not walking long.
After a moment of confusion, he was relieved, knowing that he was sleeping at the door of the Minister of Civil Affairs. The news had spread, attracting the attention of countless officials.
Many officials even knew that they were going against Pei Ji. They did not give Pei Ji face, forced Pei Ji away, etc., and they became famous in one battle.
This has its advantages and disadvantages. At least whoever dares to target him in the future must consider whether he has the ability.
Just as Fang Yuan thought.
Today, people from the three provinces and six departments have all recognized Fang Yuan.
At first, they only knew that Fang Yuan was promoted quickly and were jealous. Now they began to know that Fang Yuan was very brave and did not even give Prime Minister Pei face, so he was not easy to bully.
Fang Yuan went all the way and exited the Suzaku Gate.
As soon as I walked out of the Zhuque Gate, I saw two familiar people not far away.
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui.
When Fang Yuan saw it, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Now, he would be a fool if he didn't know their identities anymore.
But what do they want, and how do they want to face them?
After pondering for a moment, Fang Yuan calmed down and walked towards the two of them with a calm face.
Before anyone could reach him, Li Shimin took the lead and walked towards Fang Yuan.
He smiled, and there was something mysterious in his smile.
Finally, the three of them approached.
When Fang Yuan was still hesitating about how to address the two of them, Li Shimin spoke first.
"In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed and the level has changed again. Fang Ling, congratulations."
Li Shimin smiled even brighter.
He couldn't wait to see Fang Yuan's shocked look.
But don't rush now, step by step, slowly induce Fang Yuan, making Fang Yuan even more shocked by his identity.
"Boss Li, long time no see."
"Steward Du, long time no see."
Fang Yuan nodded to the two of them and smiled.
It turned out that the emperor did not want to show his identity to himself.
