Chapter 504 Chapter 515: Li Hao pays homage to Prime Minister
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Li Hao said, "Come in."

Feiying opened the door and entered, closed the door and went to Li Hao's desk to salute: "My lord, are you looking for me?"

"Sit down first." Li Haotan pointed to the mahogany chair opposite the desk.

Feiying was a little embarrassed and said: "My lord, I can just stand."

"Sit down as soon as I told you to, why are you disobedient?" Li Hao's tone increased.

Feiying sat down as promised, but only sat on half of his buttocks.

Li Hao said: "Feiying, I have a task for you. You take a few special forces with obvious alien characteristics to go to Western Turkic, and help me inquire about two people in Western Turkic. One is Dili Laerna, There is another named Fan Lihua, both of them are women, and they are both generals of the Western Turks, oh, yes, these two are very likely to be the same person."

Li Hao is planning to make preparations in advance, first find out the situation in the West Turkic side, and then he can successfully get Xiao Di and Fan Lihua to Tang Dynasty, and he is also very curious, Xiao Di and Fan Lihua Is it the same person? Anyway, there is nothing wrong now. Why don't you send Feiying and the others there? It just so happens that most of the special forces have alien blood. Sending them to Western Turks as spies should not be found out. The reason for sending Zhu Ruihuan.

Although Li Hao's words were a bit convoluted, Fei Ying quickly understood, nodded and asked, "What news do you want to know about them, my lord?"

"All, all the news about them." Li Hao took out a piece of paper from the drawer, and saw a lifelike sketch of a character drawn on it, and this character was naturally Xiao Di.

Li Hao rolled up Xiaodi's portrait, stuffed it into a one-foot-long small bamboo tube, handed it to Feiying, and said, "This is Dililarna's portrait, it may be of some help to you, if possible , by the way to spy on the military situation, but... safety first, it doesn't matter if the mission is not completed, we must ensure that the brothers come back safely, you know?"

"Yes!" Feiying suddenly stood up and saluted a standard military salute.

Li Hao also stood up and returned a military salute, saying, "Go."

"This subordinate will resign!" Feiying said, put away the bamboo tube, and left the study.

Half an hour later, Feiying left Chang'an with eight special forces members. After leaving Chang'an City, he got on his horse and galloped all the way to the northwest, where the West Turks were located.

After seeing Feiying away, Li Hao began to prepare for the memorial. Tomorrow is the Grand Court Meeting. He will propose the reopening of Tiance Mansion and the establishment of a seaport and shipyard in the hall, and the impeachment of Zhang Liang. This person is not capable enough, but Assuming the important position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he must not be allowed to eat a vegetarian meal. At the same time, Li Hao also wanted to see how many people in the current court would dare to oppose him. Without Changsun Wuji, he would not trust this group of people How can he become a great weapon? He is also demonstrating to the group of ministers. Now he has enough strength to pretend to be aggressive in the court.

The next morning, Li Hao got up early, dressed, washed, went to the kitchen to get some pastries, put them in a cloth bag, and went to court.

The sun rises early in summer, and when Li Hao went out, the east was just turning red. When he rode his horse all the way to the Suzaku Gate, the sun had already jumped out of the horizon, and all the officials were standing outside the Suzaku Gate in twos and threes, all whispering They were talking about something, but when they saw Li Hao coming, everyone stopped talking and turned their attention to him.

Li Hao has long been used to this kind of scene where everyone is watching him, and raised his hand to greet everyone with a playful smile: "Good morning, colleagues."

When he said the last word, his eyes stopped on Changsun Wuji intentionally or unintentionally, and Changsun Wuji immediately looked away and looked up at the sky.

Many of the officials sneered at Li Hao, but Li Hao pretended he hadn't seen anything, got off his horse with a smile on his face, first went to greet Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and Qin Qiong, and then greeted Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and Qin Qiong one by one. Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, Niu Jinda and some other ministers who have a good relationship send their greetings.

After walking around, Li Hao found that there were some new faces and some old faces were missing, for example... neither Kong Yingda nor Fang Xuanling.

Li Hao had a brainstorm, and then he remembered that in history, Kong Yingda and Fang Xuanling both died this year. In the spring, Li Hao angered Kong Yingda in the court, and Kong Yingda almost died of anger. After hearing Kong Yingda never went to court again, and kept taking sick leave. For that old scholar who was keen on political affairs, not being able to go to court meant that he could no longer get out of bed. With his age, he probably wouldn't last long.

As for Fang Xuanling, Li Hao knew that Fang Xuanling was already terminally ill, and he actually wanted to save Fang Xuanling, but he had inquired about Fang Xuanling's illness, which he could not cure. It's a kidney problem, it may be a serious nephritis, or the kidney function is not good, anyway, Li Hao has never checked his pulse, he basically listened to what others said, after listening to it, he gave up his plan to diagnose and treat Fang Xuanling , but in this world, diseases related to internal organs other than the stomach and intestines are extremely difficult to treat, such as Li Shimin, Li Hao knows that he has a heart disease, but he can't cure it.

It is now the 22nd year of Zhenguan. Historically, in the past few years, a large number of important people in the Tang Dynasty will die, because they are all old. Of course, the most important one is Li Shimin, and Fang Xuanling can only be ranked second.And in history, starting from the 23rd year of Zhenguan, the court began to be in a state of incompleteness, and then the relative of Changsun Wuji took power until the rise of Wu Meiniang.

It's different now, Li Hao is here, and the downfall of the older generation has created opportunities for Li Hao. Li Hao predicts that starting from this year, in the next three years, he will gradually climb to the pinnacle of his life. Then it was Changsun Wuji, but Li Hao.

Just as Li Hao was standing there in a daze, the Suzaku Gate opened, and a group of officials entered the imperial city and went to Chengtian Gate through Chengtian Street.

When they came to Chengtian Gate, they waited for about 10 minutes. Chengtian Gate opened, and everyone passed through Chengtian Gate and came to Taiji Square. Seeing that morning morning was about to start, everyone began to tidy up their clothes.

Li Hao didn't wear official uniforms to go to court this time. He doesn't like official uniforms very much. The patterns on them are either birds or beasts. This is where the word "clothes and beasts" comes from. , wearing a white silk robe, this robe is not the kind of round neck robe that people in the Tang Dynasty often wear, but designed by himself, the overall shape is like an extended windbreaker in the future world, but it is double-layered, and this double-layer is not The general double layer, the inner layer is white silk cloth, the outer layer is blue silk, the silk is transparent, so it looks blue and white, plus the elegant shape, it is very beautiful.

All the ministers lined up neatly to enter the Tai Chi Hall. After Li Shimin arrived, he shouted "Long Live", the emperor and ministers greeted each other, and the morning court officially began.

Li Shimin first said: "This morning, the first thing is to reward Qiongnan King Li Hao!"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials immediately discussed, because Li Hao had already been rewarded before, and Li Shimin wanted to reward Li Hao again, which made them have a lot of opinions.

All the ministers cast inquiring glances at Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Wuji didn't look sideways and didn't give any instructions, so the ministers were stunned.

Li Shimin continued: "Li Hao, King of Qiongnan, defended Youzhou with all his strength, resisted the [-] barbarian army, defended the country, and made outstanding achievements.

All the ministers frowned when they heard the words, and finally, Li Hao paid homage.

What is Tongzhongshumenxiapingzhangshi? This is a bit complicated to explain. First of all, it is a title of prime minister. In the early Tang Dynasty, the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu comprehensively managed government affairs.The two provinces of Zhongshu and Menxia are located in the palace, so they are particularly confidential, so Chang Lian said.Three high-ranking officials (Zhongshu Ling, Menxia Shizhong, Shangshu Left and Right Servants) are also prime ministers.The political affairs hall where the prime minister discusses affairs was first set up in Menxia Province, and later moved to Zhongshu Province.In the early Tang Dynasty, apart from the three high-ranking officials who were the natural prime ministers, the emperor ordered other officials to participate in the government secrets.For those with lower official ranks, use "Tongzhong Shumenxia Sanpin" or "Tongzhongshumenxia Pingzhangshi".

The official position of Tongzhong Shumenxia Pingzhangshi can be said to be tailor-made for Li Hao, why, because this title is high, prime minister, can it not be high, and secondly, this official position has nothing to do, it is most suitable for Li Hao Such a lazy person.

Moreover, there is a privilege in Tong Zhongshu's family affairs, that is, he can directly discuss some important national affairs with the emperor. In fact, Li Hao has already discussed many important national affairs with Li Shimin. Hao's participation in state affairs has become justified.

Li Shimin is indeed Li Shimin, and he can think of making Li Hao a peacemaker. This is really an appropriate reward, and Li Hao secretly admires him. In fact, he doesn't know that this reward was yesterday when Li Shimin visited Fang Xuanling in his incognito clothes. Xuanling requested it. Although Fang Xuanling was seriously ill in bed, he still couldn't forget the state affairs.

After hearing the award, the officials were very unhappy. As expected, Li Hao still paid homage to the prime minister. Can they be happy, so some people began to discuss the collective opposition. Although there is no leadership of Changsun Wuji, they still have to twist themselves together rope.

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly said: "This reward was proposed by Fang Qiao. Although Fang Qiao is seriously ill, he is still worried about the country. I am really moved. Do you have any objection to Fang Qiao's proposal?"

When the officials heard this, they were stunned. Fang Xuanling suggested?That is the head of civil servants. Fang Xuanling has served as prime minister for 20 years, and now he has been appointed as Sikong, one of the three princes. Although he is seriously ill at the moment, no one dares to object to his proposal. This group of ministers is like this , Not afraid of the emperor, afraid of Shangguan.

This is a very strange phenomenon. Because of Li Shimin's good reputation, his imperial power is greatly restricted. Even if a minister offends him, as long as he does not make essential mistakes, Li Shimin will not do anything to him. Wei Zheng is a very good person. For example, they all pointed at his nose and scolded him as a fool, and he is not living well.

But Shangguan is different. If Shangguan gives you a pair of shoes, you will suffer, especially Fang Xuanling, who has been the prime minister for more than 20 years. Who knows if Fang Xuanling will suddenly recover from illness and come back to beat him? them.

Li Shimin saw that none of the ministers objected, so he said: "Since there is no objection among the ministers, then this proposal is passed, and Li Hao is named Tong Zhongshu's disciple."
