Chapter eight hundred and seventy seventh magnanimous and generous Tang Youxiang
The grassland was once the life and death enemy of Chen State, but that was only once.
Today, the grassland is already a friend of Chen State. In order to maintain peace with the Sushen people, Chen State even took the initiative to propose some conditions that were detrimental to Chen State's interests but beneficial to the grassland.
Therefore, the imperial court planned to send envoys to the grassland, which did not surprise Shangshu Zuocheng.
The official from Shangshu Province looked at the Shangshu room and said to himself: "I don't know who the Prime Minister will send this time. This is a good job..."
If two years ago, when the relationship between the grassland and the Chen State was tense, the envoys sent by the Chen State to the grassland would have to risk their lives, and it was not certain whether they would come back alive, so naturally it would not be considered a good job.
But now and then, this time is different from the past. Now that the two countries have reached a consensus on peace, going to the grasslands as envoys will no longer take huge risks. Instead, it will add a lot of color to your resume and be conducive to the development of your official career.
Li Qi didn't care who the provincial capital sent to the grassland, he wouldn't go anyway.
King Duan is only half a step away from that supreme position. As a close associate of King Duan, staying in the capital and waiting for rewards will naturally have a much better future than going to the grassland as an envoy.
Not long after he returned to his seat, Tang Ning walked out of the minister's room and handed a letter to the minister, You Cheng.
Shangshu Youcheng stood up, walked to the hall, and said: "I will now read out the list of envoys going to the grassland this time."
Upon hearing this, the officials of Shangshu Province stopped what they were doing and looked up at Shangshu Youcheng.
Shangshu You Cheng cleared his throat and read: "Shang Shu Zuo Cheng Li Qi, Zuo Si Yuan Wai Lang Fan Cheng, Zuo Si Du Shi Liu Wei..."
When he heard his name, Li Qi had a look of astonishment on his face.
Shangshu Zuocheng is the deputy of the prime minister. For things like going to the grassland as an envoy, it is enough to send an insignificant official like Zuo Silang, Zhongyousi Langzhong. However, it will not be his turn, Shangshu Zuocheng.
And the names after him are all chess pieces placed by King Duan in Shangshu Province in the past few months. After hearing this, if Li Qi hadn't known that someone had done this deliberately, he would not have been sent to him by King Duan in the first place.
The position of Zuocheng, Minister of Finance.
He looked at Right Minister Tang Ning and found that the other party was also looking at him.
His heart finally sank. At this moment, he remembered what Tang Ning said to him yesterday. It turned out that at that time, he had considered sending them to the grassland.
Tang Ning not only wants to transfer him out of Shangshu Province, he also wants to wipe out Prince Duan's influence in Shangshu Province!
Li Qi stood up subconsciously and blurted out: "I have objections!"
Tang Ning looked at Shangshu Zuo Cheng, half-smiling but not smiling: "Oh, what objections does Li Zuo Cheng have?"
Li Qidao: "Of course the affairs of envoys are important, but the Ministry of Finance is also very busy with official duties every day. It would be a bit inappropriate to send so many people to the grassland as envoys at one time..."
Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "Li Zuocheng doesn't need to worry about this. After you leave, there will still be Han Youcheng in the Shangshu Province, as well as the ministers on the left and right, as well as the Wang Xiang and my officials. Without you, it won't matter..."
Seeing that Tang Ning was determined to kick them out of Shangshu Province, Li Qi's expression changed and he said, "But..."
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Is Li Zuocheng questioning my decision, or the decision of the Prime Minister?"
Although his tone was calm, it was full of an unquestionable majesty. Li Qi's body trembled and he whispered: "I don't dare, the lower official."
As a Beijing official, he knew very well that countless people in the court had fallen into disgrace at the hands of Tang Ning, ranging from petty officials to the prime minister and prince. Although Tang Ning, the right minister, looked talented and gentle, he was absolutely not
He looks so harmless.
Even though Li Qi dared to attack Jingzhao Yin Zhong Mingli, it was because standing behind him was Prince Duan, who would become the crown prince in a few days. Without Prince Duan, he would have been far away from Tangning when he met her.
How far is it.
Tang Ning looked at Li Qi's uneasy expression and took the initiative to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Li Zuocheng, don't have any psychological burden. I have always been magnanimous. Although you framed my father-in-law, I look like
The kind of person who avenges private vengeance?"
It's not like, he is.
Don't you see Liu Feng, the former Minister of Rites, and just impeached him for a few words? What's the result?
On the occasion of Liu Feng's mother's sixtieth birthday, he reported to His Majesty all the officials from Duanwang's family who came to Liu's house to give gifts. At that time, countless officials in the capital were disgraced and had their homes confiscated. Now when Liu Feng is mentioned, there are
Many people hate it with itch.
It's nothing to avenge private revenge. Prince Kang just bumped into his boat and even the prince's throne was thrown away. If he was selfless and magnanimous, everyone in the capital would be a saint...
If Li Qi was just guessing just now, Tangning has made it clear now.
He was seeking revenge because he listened to King Duan and caused trouble for Tangning's father-in-law, Jing Zhaoyin, and now he wants to kick him out of the Shangshu Province...
Although going to the grassland is also a good job, how can it be compared with staying and waiting for King Duan's reward?
Li Qi's face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice: "Tang, what did Prime Minister Tang say? How could a lower official frame a court official..."
Tang Ning suddenly laughed and said, "Just kidding, why is Li Zuocheng so nervous? I sympathize with Li Zuocheng that he can't stand the scorching heat in the capital, so I specifically persuaded Wang Xiang to let Li Zuocheng go to the grassland to cool off. Why, don't you thank me?"
A smile uglier than crying appeared on Li Qi's face and he said: "Thank you, Mr. Tang..."
No matter what, Tang Ning is the prime minister. In the Shangshu Province, no one can disobey the decisions he and Wang Xiang make. Although everyone knows that Tang Ning is seeking revenge, his revenge is fair and justifiable, and no one can find fault with it.
Li Qi, Zuocheng of the Shangshu Province, looked mournful as if his father and mother had died. Although other officials of the Shangshu Province had resumed their work with their heads down, they had different thoughts.
Being named like Li Qi and going on a mission to the grassland, he naturally felt sad in his heart. He thought that he would be in the lap of King Duan, and his future career would be just around the corner.
Unexpectedly, before King Duan became the crown prince, they would be sent to the desolate grassland. Although this job was not bad, at the critical moment when King Duan's big event was about to be accomplished, it was obviously more beneficial to stay in the capital than to go to the grassland as an envoy.
However, even Shangshu Zuo Prime Minister Li Qi did not dare to say no to the arrangements of the two prime ministers. How could they dare to have different opinions, so they could only bow their heads and admit defeat.
The other officials of Shangshu Province, especially Shangshu Youcheng, Zuosi Langzhong and others who had been suppressed by Li Qi these days, were finally able to feel proud and proud.
Prime Minister Tang was still the same Prime Minister Tang, he was always fussy and petty, and I would repay him a foot if he offended me. King Duan's arrangements in Shangshu Province over the past few months were all wiped out in one day.
The only strange thing is that the grassland envoy has been staying quietly in Honglu Temple since he came to the capital. Why did he suddenly ask Chen Guo to send an envoy this time? This just created such an opportunity for the right minister.
But in any case, Shangshu Zuocheng left, and King Duan lost control of Shangshu Province, which was always a good thing for the officials of Shangshu Province.
Li Qi and others relied on the support of King Duan behind them, so they did not take the officials of Shangshu Province seriously. In the past few months, they had been oppressed by these people.
Under the strange gazes of everyone, Li Qi walked out of Shangshu Province in despair.
He wanted to report this matter to King Duan as soon as possible, but in his heart, he did not have any hope that King Duan would come forward for him.
King Duan has made it clear that he will not offend the prime minister for the time being. It is completely reasonable for them to go to the grassland as envoys. King Duan will definitely not face the two prime ministers because of this matter.
Fortunately, the place where the envoy was sent was a grassland. It was not as dangerous as before, and the weather was very cool. It was just a trip. The official position of Shangshu Zuocheng was not small. When he came back, King Duan would not forget what belonged to him.
Awarded.
He walked out of Shangshu Province and saw the grassland envoys and Right Minister Tang Ning walking side by side in front.
Li Qi was still a few feet away from them and couldn't hear what they were saying clearly. He only saw a grassland envoy nodding respectfully to Tang Ning, then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck...
Seeing this, Li Qi seemed to realize something. His eyes suddenly widened, his body trembled, and his face gradually turned pale...
Rong Xiaorong says
Thanks to "Book Friends 20161227014001909m1nerva Wei Tian Qing Yu Yu" for the reward, Xiao Langjun's plot progress has exceeded two-thirds. Some time ago, it entered the post-filling and finishing stage. There will be no major deviation from the outline in the later stage.
, the specific number of words and time for the completion may be adjusted according to my coding status. For some reasons, the little scholar finished it in a hurry. The next dozen chapters are basically a flat plot, Xiaolangjun, I think
Write a happy and detailed ending, as well as some side stories about important characters, and try not to leave any regrets. I already have some ideas for a new book, and I will slowly improve it during this period. The genre should still be classified as historical, and the tone should still be relaxed.
But it will no longer be the model of little scholar and young gentleman, because I am tired of writing, and I will wait until the end of the book to tell you the details... In addition, I am asking for monthly tickets. The current monthly ticket is fifty-five, and the first fifty is the same.
, it can add 500 more glory points, and it will probably be promoted to two stars by the time the book is completed...
