In Zichen Hall, Li Zhi completely relaxed.
In the Tang Dynasty, there had been two years of drought and years of fighting, and the troops were exhausted and the people were exhausted. If the war continued, it would be difficult for the central government to support the country, and the front line would be in danger of being defeated.
Li Zhi and the ministers in the DPRK originally prepared a lot of words to talk to Li Xuan about this matter. Unexpectedly, Li Xuan had already made arrangements for next year based on this situation in advance.
This made Li Zhi extremely satisfied.
He looked at Li Xuan and said: "Everything on the front line, defense, management, offense, everything is properly arranged.
King Nanchang, tell me about you.
What are your thoughts on the appointment of the governor of Changzhou? "
Li Xuan took a serious step forward, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to resign from Changzhou..."
"Okay, let's not say such things." Li Zhi waved his hand directly. He rolled his eyes at Li Xuan angrily, then looked at Dou Xuande, frowned and asked, "What do the officials say?"
"Report to Your Majesty." Dou Xuande stood up and raised his hands seriously and said: "In the first year of Yifeng, the King of Nanchang had many meritorious deeds, but he was promoted to the governor of Changzhou and was rewarded. In this year's battle, the King of Nanchang made many suggestions, transported grain, and defeated the enemy. The five skills of enemy detection, enemy detection, and frontier opening ranked second among generals, only under Wang Xiaojie.
The officials discussed, firstly, to immediately promote the King of Nanchang to the title of King Si Peng, and grant land rewards and titles; or secondly, to appoint the King of Nanchang as the governor of Changzhou Lower Dudufu, to control the border states and guard against Tibet. "
Apart from Liu Shenli, Xue Rengui, and Li Jingxuan, who are the military commanders, among the generals, Wang Xiaojie ranks first in military merit.
Li Xuan has no objection to this.
Although it seems that he has made more contributions than Wang Xiaojie, in fact, in many battles, Wang Xiaojie's five thousand cavalry were the main force of the army. Although Li Xuan's two or three thousand black armored soldiers did not seem to be inferior to him, they Just don't lose.
What's more, this year, Wang Xiaojie led his troops to guard Wuhai alone for half a year, which Li Xuan could not do.
Therefore, Li Xuan had no objection to Wang Xiaojie's promotion to the third rank of Zuowei General.
Now it's Li Xuan's turn.
After Li Xuan was promoted from the first-grade Nanchang County King to the Si Peng King, the upper limit for his son was no longer a county prince. As long as Li Xuan continued to perform meritorious service, his son could be appointed as a county king, and even in the future he After his death, he succeeded King Peng.
Today, Li Xuan is the fourth-rank governor of Changzhou.
Changzhou was actually Xiazhou, but because of the border war state, it was treated as Zhongzhou and promoted to one rank. Li Xuan was the governor of the fourth rank.
But in fact, he should be the governor of the fourth rank.
Now, with the improvement of his military exploits, Li Xuan should be promoted to the fourth rank. However, because of the border states, he has to start a war against Tibet, add two more counties, and govern several party states, so he is promoted to the subordinate state. Third-grade governor of Xiazhou.
Li Xuan is from the third grade, and Wang Xiaojie is also from the third grade. They look the same.
Of the sixteen guards in Nanya, about thirty-two are generals.
There are more than 300 states in the world, and there are at least hundreds of governors in upper states and governor's offices in lower states.
However, not every general can serve as the governor of Shangzhou and the governor of the Dudu Prefecture, but every governor of Shangzhou and the governor of the Dudu Prefecture can immediately review the generals of the Sixteenth Guards once necessary, and they are appointed as temple ministers. The opportunities for ministers, ministers, and even prime ministers are much more than those of generals of the Sixteenth Guards.
Therefore, regardless of his status as a county king, Wang Xiaojie is still one step behind Li Xuan.
If Li Xuan can still check General Zuowei, then Wang Xiaojie will be even worse.
But Wang Xiaojie didn't have so much jealousy in his heart, because the long-term strategies Li Xuan thought of were beyond Wang Xiaojie's imagination.
Li Xuan's performance on the battlefield was not much inferior to Wang Xiaojie's, so he was not jealous, just envious.
He looked up at Li Xuan to see what he would choose between these two options.
…
After only a moment of hesitation, Li Xuan raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to fight on the battlefield for Your Majesty, resist powerful enemies, expand territory, and never regret it."
"Well, you, King Si Peng, will be placed after you take Luoche." After a slight pause, Li Zhi took a deep breath and said, "After taking Luoche, I will grant you the title of King Si Peng, your eldest son." , I have granted the title of Prince of Jinchang County, so, Twenty-Seventh Prince, please work hard and don’t let me down.”
"I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness." Li Xuan bowed seriously, and then bowed deeply.
"Get a peace." Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Although you have academic records to govern the Dangxiang states, it is not enough. You need to come up with a more detailed strategy."
"Yes!" Li Xuan cupped her hands and then retreated.
Li Zhi looked at Liu Shenli and said in a deep voice: "Liu Qing, it is your first meritorious service to take command in this campaign. I appoint you as the Inspector of the School, temporarily taking over Zhang Qing's position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry. The third grade of Tongzhongshu sect."
"I accept the order and thank you for your kindness." Although Liu Shenli looked surprised, he still accepted the order.
At this time, there were two ministers in the province, namely Zhao Renben and Zhang Wenguan; there were two ministers, Laiheng and Gao Zhizhou, and Laiheng was in the third rank of Zhongshu.
Now that Liu Shenli has been promoted to prime minister, it is most likely that he should be like Li Jingxuan at that time, using the Zhongshu Order to inspect the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, instead of like now, inspecting the School of Shizhong, accepting the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and being the same as the third rank of the Zhongshu family. .
Li Xuan stood at the back, knowing in her heart that all this was due to Zhang Wenguan's sudden illness. He was not young at all, and his illness this time was even more serious than when Hao Chujun had been, so he could not survive while alive. When the time comes, he directly strips off his official position as a servant and can only wait a moment.
But no matter what, Liu Shenli is now the real prime minister.
The third grade of Tongzhongshu.
As for his position in the political affairs hall, he should be at the head of many prime ministers of the third rank under Tong Zhongshu's sect, below Shangshu Pushe, the two Zhongshu Lings, and Zhao Renben, the minister. This is Liu Shenli's current status .
Li Xuan felt inexplicably nervous.
If everything went so smoothly, what exactly did Li Xian plan to do when he sent someone to the military camp last night.
The emperor has made the decision, Liu Shenli has become prime minister, and other matters...
"If there is nothing else to do today, we will stop here." Li Zhi waved his sleeves and prepared to ask the ministers to leave.
At this moment, Di Renjie suddenly stood up, raised his hands solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, I think there is something fishy about Mr. Zhang's illness, and I would like to ask your Majesty to order a detailed investigation."
Li Zhi paused for a moment, then sat down again.
If it was someone else who said this, Li Zhi couldn't say anything and just found an excuse to excuse it. But this person was Di Renjie, so he couldn't just take it lightly.
At this time, Duan Baoxuan, the minister of Dali Temple, also stood up and said seriously: "Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly."
Zhang Wenguan was the former Minister of Dali Temple, Duan Baoxuan was his successor, and Di Renjie was promoted by him. At this time, the two people stood up at the same time.
"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly." Pei Yan, the Minister of Punishment, stood up and held his hands solemnly.
In an instant, the eyes of everyone present fell on Cui Mi, the censor Zhongcheng.
Cui Mi didn't hesitate at all. He immediately stood up and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly."
Li Xuan's heart suddenly rose, and the Sanfa Division took the initiative to request a thorough investigation. This was rare in the entire decades of Tang Dynasty history.
but……
Pei Yan, the Minister of Punishment, and Cui Mi, the Censor, were all from Empress Wu.
Only Di Renjie and Duan Baoxuan are interested parties, and they really want to investigate the truth.
Li Xuan lowered his head deeply, and he could already smell the smell of an approaching storm.
Until now, most people have placed their suspicious eyes on Ming Chongyan.
But now, Cui Mi and Pei Yan took action without any scruples, which showed that they had completely cleared their suspicions in a place where others could not see.
In fact, it might even have been framed on Li Xian.
Or maybe Li Xian had some unclear issues in this matter, and then someone caught him.
It happened that the beginning of this incident was Di Renjie, who was promoted by Zhang Wenguan. It was Di Renjie who the emperor considered the "Wei Zheng" of the dynasty.
It is not easy to investigate this matter, but it must be investigated.
The emperor is the one who knows the progress of the matter best at present, and he can see the dangers in it best. Now this case cannot be investigated in depth, but it must be investigated...
"I originally planned to investigate Zhang Qing's matter secretly, but today you have requested me. Well, I will grant your request." Li Zhi's eyes instantly fell on Li Xuan and he said: "This case With the King of Nanchang as the leader, the censor Di Renjie as the deputy, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, the Censor's Platform, the left and right Jinwu Guards, the left and right Qianniu Guards, Yongzhou Prefecture, and Chang'an Wannian County all cooperated in the investigation, and there must be no mistakes."
After a slight pause, Li Zhi still spoke: "The King of Nanchang is given the right to kill first and then report. If necessary, if there is resistance, no matter who, the King of Nanchang can kill first and then report."
Li Zhi's words suddenly silenced the hall.
The emperor asked Li Xuan to directly kill and silence anyone he shouldn't have found.
At the same time, he also secretly warned those who might be found out that once they were found out, they would most likely be killed and silenced.
The ministers in the palace didn't understand what was going on, but they didn't hesitate at all.
Li Xuan, Di Renjie, Zhang Wenguan, Pei Yan, Cui Mi and others all bowed their hands solemnly: "I accept the decree."
…
After walking out of the Zichen Palace, Li Xuan raised his hands to Di Renjie and said, "Brother Huaiying, Xuan needs to go back to the mansion first and change clothes, and then go to Zhang Gong's mansion. In addition, there are Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, Qianniu Guard, and Jin Wu." For people in Wei, please make the selection first, Brother Huaiying, be sure to select the elite, and strive to be objective. Don't deliberately lead us astray."
Now, the person who is most afraid of this matter is the person who deliberately leads the real culprit to the prince.
Therefore, the inside story here must be investigated clearly, and there must be no sloppiness in the slightest.
"Okay, that's it, Huaiying will wait for the prince in front of Zhang Gong's residence." Di Renjie earnestly handed over his hands, then turned and left.
Li Xuan rarely hangs out in Chang'an now, and he doesn't know much about the handsome young people who have emerged in Chang'an during this year.
Now for this matter, if you want to mobilize more neutral people, you still have to rely on Di Renjie.
Li Xuan turned around and bowed seriously to Li Xian, who was standing in the main hall, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Why is it like this?"
Li Xian did not come closer, but bowed from a distance in return.
Turning around, Li Xuan strode towards the outside of the store.
If it was really Li Xian who did this, then Li Xuan would be absolutely selfless and completely remove him from the position of prince.
If this thing was not done by Li Xian, then no matter who was behind this thing, Li Xuan would find him completely, and then cut his body into thousands of pieces.
Now this matter, like the previous one, has made a bad start.
If we were able to deal with Hao Chujun and Zhang Wenguan like this before, then it would be good to deal with older people like Liu Rengui later.
Therefore, the fate of the mastermind found this time will definitely be even more tragic than that of Gao Baobao.
Therefore, if the mastermind behind this matter is really not the group of bachelors from the North Gate, nor the people from the East Palace under the Crown Prince, then who can it be?
Or perhaps, the people behind all this are the people from the North Gate Bachelor, and the unlucky ones from the East Palace are being exploited.
If so, it will be very difficult to find out.
