Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 644
Cui Yixuan glanced at the other party and was silent for a while.

"What do you mean?"

"I think it's time for Qinghe Cui to change." Wang Gui said.

"Change?" Cui Yixuan sneered, and said helplessly: "Of course I know this, and now the world is getting more and more stable, and it is bound to change, but I am a soft-spoken person in the clan, and no one will support me at all."

Wang Gui said: "Although that is the case, you still have to work hard. You have also seen that the world has already come out of the chaos of war. Your Majesty today, with a literary and military strategy, is better than a young man. As long as there is long-term peace and stability, the Tang Dynasty will surely be strong and prosperous." If you don't change at this time, it will be too late when the Tang Dynasty rises completely. By then, you have changed, and you may not have your status in the court."

Cui Yixuan smiled wryly: "Even if what you said is the truth, it's useless. I'm not afraid to tell you that the elders in the clan don't intend to let the talents of the clan go out to official positions at all. They would rather continue to work and study in the family."

"But we have to do something, don't we?" Wang Gui said, "The New Year is approaching, Brother Cui, how long has it been since I went back to see?"

Speaking of this, Cui Yixuan already understood what Wang Gui meant, so he tentatively asked: "Brother Wang, did you come here for His Majesty's order?"

"No." Wang Gui shook his head and said, "If His Majesty means it, I can tell you directly. Why use my mouth? I came today to hope that we will not be left behind too much. We are gradually losing the ability to speak. Here's the chance."

Hearing this, Cui Yixuan let out a long sigh.

"Perhaps you are right."

"Then what is your decision?"

"I plan to go back and have a look." Cui Yixuan made up his mind.

"Okay." Wang Gui said: "If there is anything you need, you may as well tell me. If I can help you, I will never refuse."

"Thank you."

Imperial Palace, Ganlu Hall.

Li Zhiyun looked at all kinds of recommenders on the memorial, and left the memorial aside a little bored.

It is up to him to decide who the Minister of the Ministry of Industry asks him to do.But this sentence can't be said indiscriminately, otherwise it will cause unnecessary waves.

As an emperor, every word and deed will be interpreted by all officials, so he must be careful.

A companion is like a tiger. If you can't be an unpredictable tiger, you will be thoroughly studied by the ministers sooner or later, and then you will be fooled by the ministers.

Only mystery can make people fearful.

This is the case at the moment, and all the ministers are testing the candidates in his mind.

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside, Li Zhiyun felt a little strange, so he asked Gao Liangzhong, who was waiting beside him.

"What's going on outside?"

Gao Liangzhong replied: "It's the palace people who are arranging the New Year's affairs."

Li Zhiyun asked: "Is it going to be a big event this year?"

"The empress said that this year the world will be safe and peaceful, so we should do a little bit to let the subjects have fun together."

"Oh." Li Zhiyun stood up slowly and said, "Let's go to the harem."

"Yes."

Housing.

Recently, as the New Year's Eve was approaching, Fang Xuanling was extremely busy, busy accepting the social scum that Dali Temple sent to the Ministry of Punishment.Seeing that the New Year is coming, the scum of society must deal with it, otherwise the emperor will ask about it, it will be a backlog of government affairs and they will be held accountable.

After taking a sip of the hot soup, Fang Xuanling picked up the official documents to read again. He is now habitually working overtime at home.

"Can't you rest for a while? I see that you bring official documents with you every time you come back, and make your home look like your criminal office." Mrs. Lu complained from the side: "It's almost Chinese New Year, why can't you rest."

"It's not my yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, it's from the imperial court." Fang Xuanling corrected his wife with a smile.

"Okay, okay, the court's yamen of the Ministry of Punishment." Mrs. Lu said helplessly, "What are you doing so desperately? It's already expensive as a minister. Can't you leave some things to your subordinates?"

Fang Xuanling smiled wryly and said: "It's not that I don't want to be lazy, but I can't. Shang Shu Zuo Servant She treats me very well, and His Majesty rewards me constantly. How can you tell me to relax. A while ago, Your Majesty couldn't do anything about it." Some people. The Ministry of Punishment cleared the prison, and the subordinates did not do their jobs well, which made me lose face in front of the courtiers."

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu didn't want to say anything, she just told him to rest, and didn't disturb him to continue dealing with government affairs.

Half an hour later, the servant came to report that Yu Zhining had arrived.

Fang Xuanling heard the news and went to greet her in person.

living room.

"Why do you have time to come to my place today?" Fang Xuanling said with a smile, "These days should not be easy for Zhongshu Sheng."

"Heh, when did Zhongshu Province get off easy?" Yu Zhining sneered and said, "Of course Yang Gongren doesn't need to say more, he still has some ability to handle things, as for Li Shuliang, it's worth not mentioning it."

In his opinion, Li Shuliang's stay in Zhongshu Province is purely for eating and waiting to die, and it is of no use at all.Whenever something happened, he, Zhongshu Shilang, would definitely step up.

As the minister of the Ministry of Justice, Fang Xuanling knew a little about Li Shuliang's ability, so he looked at Zhining with sympathy.

Meeting an incompetent boss is indeed busier than others.

"Why did you come here this time?" Fang Xuanling said, "If it's New Year's greetings, it's too early now." As he spoke, he teased a bit.

Yu Zhining waved his hand, "I wish you New Year's greetings? What are you thinking, my son's New Year's greetings to you are almost the same."

"Hahaha." Fang Xuanling laughed.

Yu Zhining said: "Xuanling, with the friendship between the two of us, I won't go around with you anymore, let's just say it, I'm here for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"Are you interested in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry?" Fang Xuanling put down the teacup, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

"Yes, I am indeed interested." Yu Zhining nodded and said, "Firstly, staying in Zhongshu Province will not accomplish much. Secondly, His Majesty is paying more and more attention to the Six Departments. If I can get away from the Six Departments, I will have a better life in the future. Some."

Fang Xuanling did not agree to him immediately, but said: "You should know that although we were activated by His Majesty, the people from the original Shence Mansion are actually very wary of us, as well as the people from the original Li Jiancheng. Besides, your Majesty's side , what we say may not be effective.”

"I know all of this." Yu Zhining said, "But I have to do it. You also know what's going on in Guan Long. If I don't make progress, I will be in a dire situation."

The current court is no longer the court of the late emperor. There are three provinces and six divisions, and there are too few high-ranking people in Guanlong.

There are even fewer people who can represent the interests of the Guanlong nobles.

"You think so, does Your Majesty know?" Fang Xuanling said in a difficult way.His subconscious meaning is, don't you know that His Majesty is suppressing the Guanlong people?

Yu Zhining is a smart person, he quickly understood what Fang Xuanling meant, so he sighed.

"Why don't I know this, but I can't help it. Yu's, Dou's, Dugu's and other families are all silent now. If I don't do anything else, I'm afraid." Yu Zhining shook his head and sighed.

Fang Xuanling pursed her lips and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I hope you can help me test out His Majesty's intentions. If His Majesty really does not want me to enter the Ministry of Industry, then I will not force it. If, I mean, if Your Majesty has no clear objection, I will do everything in my power to fight for it. .”

Fang Xuanling thought for a moment, then replied: "Okay, I will find a chance to ask you."

"Xuanling, thank you!" Yu Zhining cupped his fists.

"It doesn't have to be like this, you and I came here together." Fang Xuanling said, "I will try my best to help you."

"it is good."

After Yu Zhining left, Fang Xuanling sighed.

The Yu family is for the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, they are for the future position of Xiangguo.

Who doesn't know that His Majesty likes to promote ministers from the six ministries to enter the political affairs hall.
