Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 94 Dispute
There wasn't much time for foreplay, and Li Zhiyun felt drowsy after listening to it for about an hour.Not long after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, many things were decided by the political affairs hall of the inner court, and few things were really put on the court, because now it is necessary to centralize power, and there is no need for many people to share their suggestions and opinions.

Moreover, no matter whether it is Li Yuan or the nobles of Guanlong, they don't want others to make irresponsible remarks on the affairs of the government at this time.It is said to be a great court, but it is actually just a routine, announcing to the outside world what has been decided.

The real secrets will not be revealed in the court at all.

For example, the Zhengshitang said that it will unify the world as soon as possible, but it is not clear who will be hit next.This is also a very normal thing, after all, it is a military secret, and it is necessary to guard against the enemy's spies and internal spies from leaking information.

Afterwards, Dugu Zhen officially came out, accepted Li Yuan's award, and then resigned from the prime minister, followed by a touching part of "the encounter between the monarch and his ministers".

That scene really brought tears to those who heard it and sadness to those who listened.

The prince cupped his hands and said: "Father, the government affairs hall is planning for the country, sharing the monarch's government affairs, and the responsibility is assigned to the people. I also ask the father to decide the next minister of the country as soon as possible."

The main event is coming.

Officials who had half-closed their eyes and dozed off all cheered up and listened attentively.For them, that's what matters the most.

"What the prince said is true, so do you have someone to choose?" Li Yuan asked calmly.

Such a scene was within his expectation, if the crown prince didn't bring it up, other ministers would.

The prince said: "Father, my ministers think that Li Gang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, can be the prime minister."

Li Gang, who was in the crowd, moved his eyelids and silently lowered his head.

It would be a lie to say that he is not interested in the position of Prime Minister.

Liu Wenjing also agreed, "Your Majesty, Li Gang has served in two dynasties. He is well-versed in government affairs and talented in both body and learning. I think that the prince's request is really sincere."

Officials of the prince's department seconded the proposal one after another.

Li Yuan nodded and asked, "Do you have any different opinions?"

Dou Wei gave Dou Kang a look, and the latter understood, and stepped forward to hold his fists together, "Your Majesty, I think that Wen Daya, the servant of the Huangmen, can be the Prime Minister."

Hearing Dou Kang's words, Li Zhiyun thought that sure enough, Wen Daya was the bait thrown out by King Qin.

At this time, Wen Daya, the servant of Huangmen, looked at Dou Kang subconsciously, and the latter gave him a warm smile, which made Wen Daya feel cold all over his body.He didn't remember that he had such a good relationship with Dou Kang, let alone that he had such a good relationship with Guan Long, so good that they could recommend him as prime minister.

The prince is not surprised that Dou Kang said that, he has always taken the previous rumors to heart.

Afterwards, the prince cast a glance at Zheng Shanguo, Minister of Dali Temple, who understood the meaning and immediately came out to speak.

Behind Li Gang is the prince's family, who is behind Wen Daya?
It's just a fake Dou Kang. This is a completely one-sided situation. Facing the siege of the crown prince, Wen Daya couldn't hold on any longer, and handed over to the emperor to resign. Please Your Majesty choose another great sage."

Wen Daya also understood that he was being used as a bait.

Xiangguo, is it that good to be you?
Every prime minister represents the interests of one side, and he, Wen Daya, has no preparations at all this time, let alone a faction to support him, so how could he rise to power.

Bad luck.

Wen Daya took the initiative to back down, and Li Jiancheng was very satisfied. Now there is only one Li Gang left, so the emperor can only choose
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Chen Shuda, the servant of the Huangmen, can be the prime minister."

The one who spoke was Pei Ji, Li Yuan's good friend.

Hearing that Pei Ji nominated Chen Shuda, Li Zhiyun knew it well, and Li Yuan really preferred Chen Shuda to be prime minister.He couldn't help feeling slightly, the second brother is still amazing, he can win over a prime minister just by pushing the boat along.

Li Jiancheng's face became very ugly in an instant, he glanced coldly at Pei Ji, and then motioned to Liu Wenjing.

Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing are well-known enemies, and on this matter, the two once again started talking in the court.They made horizontal and vertical comparisons from Li Gang and Chen Shuda's past resumes, contributions to Datang, and achievements.

The sharpness of his words opened Li Zhiyun's eyes.

This Nima is the king of strong mouth.

After arguing for an incense stick of time with no results, Li Yuan had no choice but to stop. He looked at Li Jiancheng, "What does the prince think?"

"Father, I think Li Gang is more suitable."

There is no need to cover up the recommendation. Everyone in the world knows that Li Gang belongs to him. If he pretends to avoid suspicion at this time, that is not cleverness, but self-deception.

Li Yuan glanced across the group of officials, and landed on several sons.

"King Qin, what do you think?"

The attitude of the courtiers is obviously divided, and there is no need to ask any more, so Li Yuan intends to ask his sons for their opinions.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "I have no opinion, as long as Xin Xiangguo can assist Your Majesty, I have nothing else to ask for."

As soon as the words fell, Li Yuanji said immediately: "Then Li Gang is the most suitable. He has always been upright, and he will definitely be able to assist the emperor well."

Li Yuan nodded, and looked at Li Zhiyun, "King Chu, you haven't spoken all this time, you must have something to say in your heart."

No, I have nothing to say, so don't talk nonsense.Li Zhiyun cupped his hands and said: "Father, Wen Shilang is Jinyang Yuancong, and Chen Shilang returned Jiang County to my Tang Dynasty. Li Shangshu has served in two dynasties and is known for prestige. In terms of merit and qualifications, they are equal. I don't know who is better."

The king of Chu is still a pustule as always.

With a high probability, this is the opinion of the important ministers in the palace.In their view, although Li Yuanji's support for the prince was obvious, he still had an attitude.And what about Li Zhiyun?Still paddling as always, without assertiveness.

On the contrary, Wen Daya glanced at Li Zhiyun gratefully. At this time, some people still remembered that Wen Daya was Jinyang Yuancong, and was moved.

Li Yuan was a little funny, he could probably understand King Chu's attitude, it was just that he didn't want to get involved in this matter.

But the problem is that there are some things that Li Zhiyun cannot avoid if he wants to.

In the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang liked this kind of clan that was 'sensible' and 'clear and wise', but not in the Tang Dynasty.

Not here in Li Yuan.

Currently, there are only four adult princes in the clan, and Li Yuan needs the clan princes to maintain the stability of the Tang dynasty.

"Prince Chu, you must not be careless about important government affairs." Li Yuan warned secretly.

If Li Zhiyun is a waste, Lao Li may really give up on him.But Li Zhiyun is not, his performance is better than the fourth, second only to the eldest and second, so when the old Li is not unified in the world, he naturally hopes that Li Zhiyun can play more for Datang Sheji.

Instead of pretending to be deaf and dumb like now.

Li Zhiyun bowed his head, cupped his hands and said, "I know my mistake."

Seeing this, Li Yuan did not continue to struggle with Li Zhiyun's attitude, but said: "Let's discuss this matter later."

One faction supports and one faction opposes, and there must be someone who will compromise and admit defeat later, so it is impossible to quarrel in the big court all the time.

In other words, the second round of the Xiangguo War will be held in private.
