A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 271
Changan.

Li Shimin discussed matters with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian, the four heavenly kings in the East Palace.

Also participating in the discussion were Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, Zhou Shaofan, and Ma Zhou.

"Feng Deyi is going to die," Li Shimin sighed. After the New Year, the right servant Feng Deyi suffered a sudden stroke in Shangshu Province. .

His condition was so serious that he was directly paralyzed, unable to move his hands or speak, and the imperial doctors were helpless.

For Feng Deyi, Li Shimin quite appreciated it, and even thought that he was loyal to him all the time. He didn't know that although Feng Deyi was the Sima of Tiance Mansion, he was loyal to Li Shimin, but he secretly supported the prince's construction.

It's just that he has been doing it very secretly, and Li Shimin has never known it.After worshiping as the right servant, Feng Deyi even wooed Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian, and made the left servant shoot Xiao Yu overhead, often making Xiao Yu unable to get down in front of the emperor.

It's a pity that this treacherous guy suddenly suffered a stroke and fell to the ground. He was only 60 years old at this time.

Fang Xuanling of Zhongshu Ling and Gao Shilian, the servant, also feel very sorry. They have not been prime ministers for a long time, and they have dealt with left and right servants. They all prefer Feng Deyi. They think he is capable and can negotiate, and he is better than Xiao Yu. get along with each other.

"I have already sent people to Jingzhou to ask Wu Huaiyu for the elixir, and I don't know if it will be too late."

Before the words were finished, the servant outside came to report.

The right servant shot Feng Deyi's son Feng Yandao to report his father's death to Shangshu Province.

Feng Yandao is 11 years old this year, Feng Deyi's eldest son, Li Yuan betrothed his newly born No.12 daughter to Feng Deyi's son a few years ago, and married the prime minister.

Li Shimin sighed, "Chasing back the envoy who went to Jingzhou to ask for the elixir."

"For the sake of being a prime minister, I quit the court for three days, posthumously gifted to Sikong, bestowed the posthumous title of Ming, and made a special decree to say that the Dao will not be surrendered, and so on to attack the prince of the secret country!"

"20 people from Yu Bao, Ban Jian and Advocate, and 120 people from Yu Lin escorted him to the burial."

The right servant shot Feng Deyi to death, and now the Shangshu Province is headless.

Before the left servant shot Xiao Yu and the right servant shot Feng Deyi at odds, and later they quarreled with the waiter Chen Shuda in front of the hall, and even rolled up their sleeves to fight. Angrily, Li Shimin overturned the imperial case and flung his sleeves away. Later, he simply dismissed Xiao Yu Mutually.

Xiao Yu was at home after he was dismissed, and he was very angry because of a serious illness. After Li Shimin heard about it, he felt a little sorry. Looking back, he thought that Xiao Yu had also contributed to the Tang Dynasty's planning and made great contributions. Princess Xiangcheng betrothed to Xiao Yu's eldest son, Xiao Rui, and married her son and daughter.

But Xiao Yu still retreated to the second line and was not given a real job.

But now that Feng Deyi is also dead, Shang Shusheng can't be left alone forever.

"Xuanling, Ruhui, the two of you are here to take over the leadership of Shang Shuxing, and you will be divided into left and right servants."

Fang Xuanling declined, saying that Zuo Pushe was the head of a hundred officials, and he needed a highly respected person to take up the position. The minister had never held a position in Shangshu Province, and his qualifications were shallow and he did not have such prestige. He recommended Zuo Pushe to return to Xiao Yu job.

Du Ruhui also said that he is only a minister of the Ministry of War and is not qualified to be a right servant.

Neither of the two emperor's confidantes wanted to sit in that prominent position right away.

In fact, Li Shimin is not willing to let Xiao Yu pay homage to the prime minister again. This old man is sometimes too obstinate. He quarreled with the ministers more than once in the hall, almost fought with Chen Shuda, and often confronted Feng Deyi, the right servant, even the officials of Shangshu Province. Also mostly at odds with him.

Even the relationship with Zhongshuling Fang Xuanling's servant Gao Shilian is not harmonious.

Although he is indeed loyal, but he can't coordinate well with his colleagues and subordinates, so how can he be the head of a hundred officials.

"Xiao Yu is a strict and upright person, but he is unwilling to tolerate others' shortcomings, and he is not good at getting along with his colleagues and subordinates," Li Shimin sighed a few times, and after thinking for a long time, he still planned to worship Xiao Yu as Zuo Servant again.

"The right servant shoots this position, who do you recommend?"

If you really want to say who is suitable, it must be that the prime ministers of the Wude dynasty are more suitable and have rich experience, but because they are the prime ministers of Wude, they are not suitable.

Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, Yu Wenshi and Pei Ju are not within the scope of the emperor's consideration.

Li Shimin originally wanted Fang Du to take over Shang Shusheng.

Let Gao Shilian be responsible, but he also declined.

Xiao Yu returned to Zuo Pu to shoot, but Gao also didn't want to partner with him.

Du Ruhui said that the eldest grandson Wuji had a high merit and could be shot by his right servant.

The emperor swept back and forth among several confidants, and finally looked at his brother-in-law, Zhangsun Wuji, who was eager to try. Zhangsun Wuji was young and vigorous, with outstanding abilities, more loyal and reliable, and he obviously wanted to sit in this position.

"The position of You Servant cannot be vacant, and we need to find someone who can match Xiao Yu. It is best to be younger and take more responsibility for the affairs of the Minister.

Wuji, you come to be the right servant of Shangshu. "

"Your Majesty, I don't have enough qualifications."

Changsun Wuji is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Although he is the head of the six departments, he was not a prime minister before, so he suddenly became a right servant and shot, a little swift and violent.

"Don't take this as a reward. It's a responsibility. It's not good to be the right servant of the Shangshu. He is in charge of administration. The world is as big as soldiers, horses, money and food, as small as the appointment and dismissal of state and county officials. This position requires young and vigorous people. To be able to do well, Feng Deyi fell in Shang Shusheng's public house. He was only 60 years old, but died of heart failure.

Xiao Yu is also getting older, and it is difficult for ordinary people to partner with him. If you are younger, take more burdens, respect and courteous him more, and work together to lead Shang Shuxing well. "

The emperor told him not to have any worries anymore, and to show the enthusiasm they had back then.

Changsun Wuji was immediately excited, stepped forward to accept the order, and patted his chest to express that he would live up to the emperor's expectations.

There is a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials.

The emperor thought for a while, "Ruhui used the Minister of the Ministry of Officers and Soldiers to inspect the school servants, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to still supervise the military affairs of the East Palace."

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for me to take on so many important positions due to my lack of skills."

But the emperor still asked him to work harder. Before there was a suitable candidate, he would rather let his confidant do it first, and not easily grant it to others.

"Liu Zhenghui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, needs to be adjusted and arranged." The emperor said.

Previously, Li Youliang, governor of Liangzhou, was transferred back to Beijing to serve as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, and then Li Daozong, governor of Lingzhou, was transferred back to the court to serve as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments.

Fang Xuanling recommended Dou Lukuan, the general of Zuowei.

Hou Junji recommended Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang's heart beat faster, and he couldn't hide the anticipation in his eyes.

But the emperor just glanced at them.

"I plan to transfer Li Jing, the governor of Anzhou, to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and concurrently lead the crown prince's left guard. What do you think?"

Zhang Liang felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Fang Du didn't immediately support it, but he didn't object either.

Changsun Wuji expressed his support.

"I have no objection either." Gao Shilian, the servant, also said.

Therefore, the emperor decided to use Li Jing as the secretary of the Ministry of punishment and the left guard of the prince.

"Candidates for the governor of Lizhou, please recommend."

The governor of Lizhou was originally Li Xiaochang, and then Luo Yi's younger brother Luo Shou. These two governors were both Jiancheng people. Now that Luo Shou has been arrested and brought to Beijing, Lizhou must be cleaned up.

"The minister recommends the governor of Shaozhou, the warrior Yi. He was originally Yizhou Xingtai Zuo Cheng. He has served in Shu for several years and has a better understanding of Shu. He is more capable and has always had good political achievements."

The person who recommended him was Zhang Liang, General of the Right Guard.

Samurai Yi is the elder brother of Samurai Xun. In his early years, he assisted Yuanji to stay in Taiyuan and was captured by Liu Wuzhou. However, after he was captured, he could spy on Liu Wuzhou's information, and then secretly passed it to Chang'an to help Datang recover Taiyuan. After that, he went to Yizhou University. Acting on the desk, the performance is really good.

The Wu family used to be the emperor's confidant Yuan Cong, but now the samurai Xun has been recognized by the new emperor, especially Wu Huaiyu and Wu Huaiyi brothers of the younger generation of the Wu family, who are even more appreciated by the emperor. Wu Huaiyu just quelled the Luo Yi rebellion.

Li Shimin felt that it would be more appropriate to transfer Wu Huaiyu to be the governor of Lizhou. After all, he had just put down Luo Yi's rebellion, and now he is cleaning up Lizhou, which Luo Shou had supervised, which is very suitable.

But this idea is only for a moment, Wu Huaiyu still has important tasks to go to Yanzhou.

"What do you think of Xuanling's obscurity?"

"Samurai Yi does have the talent for governance."

Several people support it.

"Okay, let's transfer the governor of Shaozhou and the public warrior of Xuancheng County to be the governor of Lizhou,"

The emperor glanced across Zhang Liang's face, and finally did not forget to appease this confidant.

"Jing Changping County Gongyouwei General Zhang Liangyin Doctor Qing Guanglu, and also the governor of Anzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office."

"Xuanling, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China should draft an imperial edict as soon as possible."

The emperor confessed that the process of worshiping the prime minister should be completed as soon as possible.

Worship the three phases a day.

Xiao Yu paid homage to Zuo Pushe, Changsun Wuji worshiped You Pushe, and Du Ruhui inspected the school servant.

After this adjustment.

Now at the center, the left servant shoots at Xiao Yu, and the right servant shoots at Changsun Wuji.

Zhongshu ordered Fang Xuanling, served Zhong Gao Shilian, and inspected and served Zhong Du Ruhui.

Only five prime ministers remained.

Du Ruhui was also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, Pei Ju was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wen Daya was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Li Jing was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was transferred to Lu Kuan, General Zuowei.

Du Yan, the official censor, Yu Wenshiji, the supervisor in the palace, Zhang Anan, the internal servant supervisor, and Chen Shuda, the secretary supervisor.

Shangshu Zuocheng Wei Zheng, Shangshu Youcheng Dai Zhou, Dali Temple Qing Sun Fujia.

Ma Zhou, the emperor's confidant, was awarded the important post of the Menxia Province, the fifth-rank post, and was assigned the daily affairs of the Menxia Province. He was specifically responsible for deliberating and refuting the imperial edict memorials.

From the emperor's staff officer, Ma Zhou really came to the front desk of the central government.

A series of edicts were issued.

Just after Feng Deyi was buried, Chen Shuda's mother passed away. He wrote to Ding You, the emperor gave permission, and the secretary supervisor was vacant.

Wei Ting took over as Shangshu Zuocheng, Wang Gui became the servant of Huangmen, and Wen Dalin paid homage to the servant of Zhongshu.

When Wu Huaiyu received the news, he had already led his troops out of Xiaoguan along the Jinghe River, arrived in Lingzhou, and lived in the Yanzhou Yamen, which was previously located in Lingzhou City.

Wu Huaiyu was very happy to hear that the third uncle of the family, the warrior Yi, was promoted to the governor of Lizhou. He was promoted from Xiazhou to the governor of Zhongzhong.

The second governor from the Wu family.

Now the samurai Xun is the governor of Liangzhou, the samurai is the governor of Yili Prefecture, Wu Huaiyu is the governor of Yanzhou, and there is another samurai who is Si Nongqing, Wu Huaiyi is the Sima of the Guazhou Governor's Mansion, and the samurai Ke Shenjifang orders.

The family is getting more and more prosperous.

Along with the news, there are also thirty collars of gold specially bestowed on Wu Huaiyu by the emperor, and an imperial edict.

Zhang Anan's adopted son, Zhang Fuguo, stood in the hall and said in the tone of Emperor Li Shimin, "I heard that when you confiscated Luo Yi and other rebellious family properties, you detained some privately, and even hid some beauties privately.
But I heard that you have already used all this money as the envoy money of the Shuofang Bureau, so I won’t pursue it this time. There are also those beauties, you can choose four to keep, and the rest will be sent to Beijing and the other half will be recruited into the bureau... ··”

Sure enough, nothing could escape the emperor's eyes, and everything was under the emperor's control.
