A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 790 Blocking
  Changan.

News spread quickly that the man was coming back.

Although he left Chang'an for more than a year, his name is still so loud.

After the morning court, I was in the political hall where I was introspecting. The meeting had not yet started. Each prime minister had his own private room in the political hall.
  Nowadays, the political hall is a very formal organization with five rooms and dedicated staff behind the hall. The prime ministers come to the door to meet and discuss affairs almost every morning. There will also be a great value in the hall.

Zuo Pu Shefang Xuanling just sat down in his public room.

The staff immediately helped him boil water and make tea. Fang Xuanling still liked making tea and ate the tribute tea cakes given by the emperor, but he didn't like to make tea himself, not because he was not interested in it, but because he really didn't have the time.

As the emperor's most trusted prime minister, he was extremely busy with official duties. As the left servant, he had to take charge of the Shangshu Province. Because Li Jing, the right servant, did not pay much attention to matters, he basically shouldered the affairs of the Shangshu Province.

The political hall also needs to participate in decision-making and deliberation, and it is hoped that there will be three heads and six arms.

The officials at the back of the hall were familiar with the Taste of the Fang Xiang, roasted the tea, crushed it, boiled the water and added some peach blossom salt, then added the tea powder, boiled, then added onion, ginger, orange peel, etc., and finally added a cup of raw milk, and then added A piece of rock candy,
  A cup of rich tea soup was prepared and served in front of you.

Fang Xuanling was still at his desk processing official documents.

"Prime Minister, the tea is ready."

"Ah."

The officials at the back of the hall retreated.
  "Prime Minister," Zhang Liang, the imperial censor, came in with a box of tea in his hand, "I got a new piece of tea cake, produced in Lingnan. I heard it tastes good, so I gave the Prime Minister a box to try."

Fang Xuanling raised her head, "Oh, try it like that,"

Zhang Liang sat down with a smile. This prime minister who once came from a poor background is now somewhat proud of himself. He has been granted the title of imperial censor, granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom of Zhan, and has been awarded the title of Ziguanglu. He has also served as the governor-general of Yanzhou.

This governor's office of Yanzhou oversees the counties of Fan, Yi, Fang, Dan, Yan, and Sui.

This Governor's Office was newly established this year, and the Governor was awarded to King Li Tai of Wei.

There used to be Suizhou Dudu's Mansion, Yanzhou Dudu's Mansion, Xiazhou Dudu's Mansion, etc. In recent years, adjustments have been made, and several Dudu's Mansions have been abolished one after another. However, this year, such a large Dudu's Mansion was created in northern Beijing.
  In fact, they were all specially designed for King Wei.

However, Li Tai did not leave Beijing to take office, so he only took charge from a distance.

Li Tai was not only the governor of Yanzhou, but also the governor of Yangzhou, the governor of Yuezhou, and the five governors of Bei'an and Beining.
  He also held the post of General Zuo Wuhou.

One person has two chief governors, one middle governor, five junior governors, and one general.

Originally, the emperor planned to let King Wei also serve as the shepherd of Yongzhou and move him into the Wude Hall of Taiji Palace. However, the emperor gave up this idea after the outspoken advice of Wei Zheng, the servant.

But even so, Li Tai was unique in being the governor of more than thirty states by one person.

Zhang Liang is the prime minister and the governor of Yanzhou. In fact, he is only a remote leader, but holding this title still adds a lot of wealth and status to this grassroots prime minister.

Especially because he got closer to King Wei.

Also close to King Wei was Fang Xuanling’s second son Fang Yiai.
  "I heard that the saint urgently called Wu Huaiyu back to the capital. Has the prime minister heard about it?"

The emperor's recall order did not go through Zhongshu's disciples, but directly sent Baiqi to Lingnan to convey the order.

But this matter was not deliberately concealed. But after all, there is no Jing Zhongshu disciple, so it is not a formal recall. Zhang Liang came to ask Fang Xuanling specifically, which was also profound.

"Isn't Ya Xiang very aware of this matter?"

Fang Xuanling poured Zhang Liang a cup of tea.

Both of them were direct descendants of the Prince of Qin's palace, and are now prime ministers. Behind them are the Guandong family members. Behind Fang Xuanling are naturally the Fan Yang Lu family and the Longxi Li family. After Zhang Liang became rich and powerful, he was attached to Zhao Jun. Li's.

Zhang Liang has always had a good relationship with Fang Xuanling. In his early years, he first defected to Wagang and Li Mi, and then to the Tang Dynasty with Xu Shiji. However, when he was in Zhengzhou, Dingzhou, Xiangzhou, etc., he suffered repeated defeats and lost the city, but later he still got Fang After Xuan Ling's recommendation, he was called into Tiance Mansion by Li Shimin, and only then did he gain a firm foothold. Later, he was reused by Li Shimin through intelligence work.

His posture in front of Fang Xuanling was still very low. Compared with Hou Junji, who was very arrogant and domineering, Zhang Liang was very different.

Whether it is Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Wen Yanbo, Wang Gui, or even Li Jing and Qin Qiong, they all have a good impression of Zhang Liang. Except for the fact that this guy abandons the trash and licks Zhaojun Li's broken shoes, it is despising. Zhang Liang performed very well in other aspects. He gave the impression that he was heroic and righteous. He was not good at leading troops in battles, but he was good at logistics and civil affairs, and he had two skills in intelligence.

"Wu Huaiyu should only go to Beijing temporarily to face the Holy Emperor, rather than formally return to the court, right? The barbarian rebellion in Lingnan has not ended yet, and the implementation of the new two-tax law in Lingnan has just begun, and it is still inseparable from Wu Xianggong.

Once he leaves, I'm afraid the situation in Lingnan will become chaotic again. "

Zhang Liang held the tea cup and said to Fang Xuanling. When facing Fang Xuanling, he did not hide it and made his attitude clear. Wu Huaiyu should be allowed to stay in Lingnan.

Fang Xuanling held the tea cup and was not in a hurry to express her position.

But he did not refute Zhang Liang's attitude, which was naturally a statement.

"The situation in Lingnan is indeed more complicated. Last year, the barbarians in the five prefectures of Yunkai Mountain rebelled, and this year, all the thirty prefectures in the left and right rivers rebelled.
  The Zhuzi Tribe between the three roads of Guizhou, Nanzhong and Lingnan, these barbarians are also ready to move now.

We really need capable ministers like the Duke of Jin to pacify us. If the rebellion of the Xiu barbarians in left and right Xi is not put down quickly, it will inevitably lead to the rebellion of the Xiuzi tribe, which will inevitably also affect the Xies in central Guizhou, Zhu Cuan in Nanzhong, etc."

Fang Xuanling also expressed his attitude, hoping that Wu Huaiyu would continue to stay in southern Xinjiang.

The two drank tea and quickly reached a consensus on this.

Even if Wu Huaiyu comes back this time, he can't really stay in Chang'an.

Zhang Liang stood up with a smile and said goodbye. He returned to his office, took another box of tea, and went to see Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo.

Fang Xuanling was still sitting in her public room, holding the tea soup and slowly sipping it. The tea with various seasonings had a rich taste.

He knew that Zhang Liang had been close to the King of Wei recently.
  He also knew that his second son was close to King Wei.
  But Fang Xuanling had no dealings with the King of Wei. In fact, he had no dealings with the prince either. No matter how they fought or even speculated outside,

Fang Xuanling was always loyal to the emperor. This was true in the Wude Dynasty, and now even more so in the Zhenguan Dynasty. He shook his head no matter who the prince was or the king of Wei.

The emperor was in his prime in spring and autumn, but he was only in his early thirties. There was still a long time to come. As the prime minister, Fang Xuanling had no need to stand in any line. He could just stand as the emperor.

He also knew that the second son was getting close to the King of Wei, but he did not stop him. His beloved was the emperor's prospective son-in-law. He was young now and had a bit of a naughty temper. He did not expect to have any future prospects, so he just regarded him as an idle boy. In the future, if King Wei really has a chance, it will be considered an opportunity.

Wu Huaiyu,
  Fang Xuanling tapped her fingers lightly on the desk. He left Beijing for more than a year. Many people in Chang'an may not have paid attention to what he did in Lingnan, but Fang Xuanling has been paying close attention to him.
  Marrying with Feng Ning, Chen Xian and other Lingnan wealthy families, overthrowing Hou Junji and driving him out of Lingnan. The barbarians had two major rebellions. As a result, in addition to sending countless heads to Wu Huaiyu to increase his merits, what kind of waves have they caused?

Perhaps, after Wu Huaiyu returned to Beijing this time, he should treat him to a banquet and send Dalang's legacy to Lingnan as a four-year governor?
