Chapter 665: The courtiers are diverted

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji turned his head to look at Li Hao, his face was not very good-looking, Li Hao ran out to say this sentence at this time, obviously to embarrass himself, he frowned slightly, spread his hands and asked: "King Qiongnan seems to have a high theory?" ”

"I can't talk about it." Li Hao took a step forward, stood side by side with the eldest grandson Wuji, and said in a loud voice, "Although Sheng Guolan is young, she doesn't understand my Tang etiquette, but what she just said is very reasonable, "Shangshu Xianyoude" has clouds, only virtuous officials, only people left and right, the eldest grandson and everyone present are all scholars who are full of wealth, this truth, is it impossible to teach a little girl!" ”

Li Hao's words made the eldest grandson Wuji red-faced, but the eldest grandson Wuji was speechless, no way, the reason is not on his side, after all, looking at age and seniority, this kind of thing is a common rule between their officials, this rule itself has no reason at all, it's just their selfishness to blame, when Li Hao was young, he was so suppressed by them, no one supported Li Hao, Li Hao climbed up step by step with monstrous credit, now it's different, Li Hao has climbed to the top of the peak, overlooking the ministers, He strongly supports Di Renjie, who can use this completely unreasonable excuse to suppress Di Renjie, even if it is the eldest grandson Wuji, it is useless, in a word, they are not reasonable.

Li Hao scolded the eldest grandson Wuji, and also reminded Li Shimin, Li Shimin suddenly brushed his beard, secretly blamed himself, just now he almost agreed with the eldest grandson Wuji's statement, they, the older generation, are used to talking about age and qualifications, always think that "there is no hair on the mouth, and things are not firm", although Li Shimin constantly admonishes himself to appoint people on the basis of merit, but sometimes he is encouraged by a trustworthy person like the eldest grandson Wuji, so he temporarily forgets his principles, and when he thinks about it, it is too late.

Li Shimin has woken up now, and feels that what Li Hao said makes sense, but he sees that the eldest grandson Wuji is looking at himself, after all, these two have been monarchs and ministers for many years, and they have a good relationship, the eldest grandson Wuji was once his most trusted minister, and he was cited as his right-hand man, and he has feelings, and now if he supports Li Hao's statement, it will inevitably make the eldest grandson Wuji feel cold, even if he is not cold, I am afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji will not be happy in his heart, so he had an idea, turned his head to look at the front row of the other Wenchen team, and said quietly: "Wei Zheng, you have always been the most just, Now that the poet and the auxiliary machine have their own opinions, you say, who cares more about the words of the two of them? ”

Li Shimin was so bad that he kicked the ball to Wei Zheng, you can't cheat people like this because Wei Zheng likes to offend people, this is very immoral, the reason why Wei Zheng has no friends, Li Shimin has to bear a lot of responsibility.

Wei Zheng was also very helpless, the ball was kicked over, and he couldn't help but pick it up, so he took a step forward and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Zhao Guogong and King Qiongnan said is reasonable, but whose reason is it...... More than that. ”

Li Shimin was slightly surprised when he heard this, sure enough, the older he gets, the better he becomes, and Wei Zheng, the old guy, will turn around when he speaks, and he will not offend people so much, so he asked: "So do you think that the two of them have more reason?" ”

Wei Zheng said: "Back to Your Majesty, King Qiongnan quoted scriptures and classics to reason, if Zhao Guogong failed to cite the classics of the sages to prove that the appointment of courtiers should be based on age and seniority, then King Qiongnan should be more reasonable." ”

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng in surprise, he suddenly felt that he didn't know this old guy anymore, why, because now Wei Zheng's speech has become so smooth, he doesn't say who he supports, only whose words are closer to the truth of the sages, the implication is that it is not I who I chose, it was chosen by the sages, is this still the upright Wei Zheng before.

In fact, Wei Zheng has always been very smart, otherwise he would not have survived to this day, he is just a tough character, and he is upright, and likes to be positive, but since some time ago, Wei Zheng went to Li Hao's Taibai Mansion at the invitation of Qin Qiong and Li Ji, and drank a bowl of ginseng and wolfberry black chicken soup, after going back, he found that he had changed, he was full of energy, energetic, as if he was much younger, and most importantly, he felt that his temper was not as impatient as before, he thought about his life experience at home, Looking at Li Hao's actions again, he suddenly sighed, he has worked hard all his life, offended countless ministers of the DPRK and China, and reprimanded Shengyan many times, so that he has no friends now, and his own actions seem to be nothing compared to Li Hao, and the most important thing is that Li Hao is only in his early thirties now.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, this is really reasonable, Wei Zheng retreated at home and thought about it for three days, and finally realized: he is a minister, and he doesn't necessarily have to offend people, doesn't Li Haojin have to offend people, why, because he is sleek, he doesn't have to be as sleek as him, but there is no need to offend so many people, as long as he maintains an impartial and fair heart, the first scale in Datang is still him.

Li Shimin was surprised for a moment and then came to his senses, nodded and said: "Well, what you said is reasonable, then I will follow the words of the sages, appoint people on the basis of merit, and seal Di Renjie as the secretary of Dali Temple, and add the captain of Zhaowu on the sixth grade, can you have any objections?" ”

Qunchen, you look at me, I look at you, obviously have a lot of opinions, and the opinions are big, but no one dares to squeak.

At this time, Ma Zhou, who had been silent, suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, Di Renjie cracked the case of the poisoning of the Nanzhao envoy this time, resolved the misunderstanding between the two countries, and cleared the grievances of the pillars of the country. ”

When the ministers heard this, they were so angry that they couldn't wait to go up and strangle Ma Zhou, but Li Shimin heard the words but he was very serious and groaned, Dali Siqing is a third grade, although such a reward is not small, but Di Renjie's credit this time is really too great, if this case can't be found, Li Hao is likely to be unjustly imprisoned, Datang will lose a stunning humerus pillar, and Nanzhao may also start a war against Datang because of this, and the people of southern Xinjiang will fall into the war again, and the consequences are really unimaginable.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Well, Ma Qinghe is right, if Di Renjie hadn't cracked the case, Li Hao would not have been wronged, southern Xinjiang would most likely fall into war, and the people would have been poisoned. ”

Li Hao did not shy away from suspicion when he heard this, and directly bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, the minister thinks that Di Huaiying's title should also be mentioned, otherwise it will be difficult to be worthy of his position as the secretary of Dali Temple." ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Okay, then Jin Di Renjie will be the uncle of Xianyang County, add 300 households, 300 acres of good land, 1,000 taels of gold, and 1,000 horses of silk......"

Di Renjie didn't expect that his title would suddenly be promoted from the lowest Xianyang County male to Xianyang County Earl, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to thank him: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

"Don't be busy thanking you just yet!" Li Shimin was in a good mood when he saw Di Renjie, as if he saw Li Hao back then, he smiled and said, "Since Sheng Guolan asked you to send her back to Nanzhao, then you and Li Hao will work hard and go to Nanzhao." ”

"Ahh Li Hao exclaimed when he heard this, he never expected that he still had to go to Nanzhao, and his wishful thinking was completely frustrated.

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Hao, and said, "Above the main hall, what is the name of the ghost!" ”

Li Hao smacked his lips helplessly, and bowed his hands in frustration: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and the minister has lost his temper." ”

Li Shimin glared at Li Hao, then turned his head to look at Di Renjie, and asked, "Huaiying, you go to Nanzhao first, and then come back to take over as the secretary of Dali Temple, do you have any objections?" ”

Di Renjie glanced at Sheng Guolan, Sheng Guolan smiled sweetly at him, Di Renjie also smiled indifferently, and arched his hand: "The minister has no objection." ”

"Okay." Li Shimin slapped his thigh happily when he heard this, and said, "Then Li Hao will be appointed as the envoy of Nanzhao, lead 5,000 elite soldiers, and send an envoy to Nanzhao with a letter of state, explain in detail to the king of Nanzhao that the envoy of Nanzhao was poisoned, resolve the misunderstanding between the two countries, and Di Renjie will be the deputy envoy." ”

Di Renjie and Li Hao saluted at the same time: "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

Li Shimin said again: "Sun Fujia, this position of Dali Siqing, you sit for a few more months, and when Di Renjie comes back from Nanzhao, you will resign, how about it?" ”

"Obey."

The court meeting is carried out here, it is the end, look at the sky, it is almost noon, due to the arrival of Li Hao, it has affected the food production of the Tang Dynasty and the living habits of the people, and now Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong have changed their eating habits, three meals a day, the meal time is similar to the future world, anyway, there is no major event to discuss, Li Shimin does not want to delay everyone to eat, so he announced the dispersal of the dynasty.

The ministers left the Liangyi Hall one after another, and walked towards the outside of the Taiji Palace, and when they left the palace, the ministers consciously lined up in two long lines.

In the past, there were two teams, but in the past, it was a team of Wenchen and a team of military attachΓ©s, but now it is different, but Li Hao led a team, and Changsun Wuji led a team, and the two teams also represented the two torrents under the Tang Dynasty at the moment, there were almost no neutral figures, even Wei Zheng, who has always been fair, chose to stand on Li Hao's team, maybe he just walked casually, perhaps, he really supported Li Hao, no one knows what he thinks.

Although Li Hao's team is not as big as the eldest grandson Wuji, almost everyone is a pivotal figure in the court, the three major princes, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou, the new official department Shangshu Sun Bowang, Dali Temple Qing Sun Fujia, the new Dali Temple Secretary Di Renjie, Li Daozong, Niu Jinda, Su Dingfang and a series of veteran generals, as well as some civil officials in Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, these civil officials are followers of Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou, where Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng stand, they naturally stand, besides, there is no shortage of some honest civil servants in the court, They still respect Li Hao very much, after all, Li Hao has made countless contributions to the country and the people over the years, and they are not blind, they all see it in their eyes, in all fairness, Li Hao is a rare virtuous minister.
