Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 181 Goodbye Li Shimin and Du Ruhui

Today is the inauguration day of the Chang'an Order, and many people in the three provinces and six ministries are paying attention.

When they saw the new Chang'an Ling sleeping in front of Changsun Wuji's office, most of the officials from the three provinces and six ministries were in an uproar and asked what happened.

The whole officialdom was shaken by Fang Yuan's behavior, but Fang Yuan, who was the party involved, didn't take it seriously, he was sleeping at the door of the Minister of Officials with peace of mind, and fell asleep!
Mainly because I was too tired.

The body was seriously injured and has not recovered yet.

After taking the love potion in Yipinxiang Restaurant, he had a fierce exercise with Princess Xiangcheng.

As a result, Fang Yuan is so tired now, he fell asleep very quickly when he fell asleep.

Naturally, Fang Yuan had his own considerations, he didn't care about falling asleep at all.

"Bullshit!"

"It's so vulgar, how can you take over the order of Chang'an?"

After hearing Fang Yuan's snoring, Pei Ji's face sank.

He thought that Fang Yuan was just pretending, and expressed dissatisfaction with his investigation.

But I never thought that I actually fell asleep, falling asleep right in front of myself.

So disrespectful?

The three of them, Changsun Wuji, couldn't believe it either.

However, none of the three spoke, so Pei Ji is the one to speak here.

The news spread quickly, and officials from the three provinces and six ministries probably knew about the situation.

For the safety of His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, and the ministers of Chang'an City, Pei Xiang inspected the new Chang'an Order.

The text is: If your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor fall into the water at the same time, assuming that neither of them can swim and there is no one else around but you, who do you save first?
Wu Shi: Hold up a [-]-jin boulder and persist for a stick of incense to pass the test.

At first glance, the question was the most difficult, and the officials who heard the news didn't know how to answer it.

Whether you choose His Majesty or the Supreme Emperor, you will be sprayed with foam, and you will even be impeached and so on.

But after hearing Fang Yuan's answer, he couldn't help but smile in relief, secretly sighing that it was a clever answer.

As for the answer to Fang Yuan's question that Pei Ji pressed, many people sneered, but they didn't give any answer.

As for the martial question, the officials who heard the news thought it was a sub-question, ordinary soldiers could do it, not to mention beheading Ashina Luoyun's Fang Yuan with his own hands.

But after careful consideration, the officials of the three provinces and six departments quickly understood that Wu Ti is no problem for ordinary generals, but it may not be easy for Fang Yuan.

After all, Fang Yuan was guarding Liaozhou, he was seriously injured when he fought Ashina Luoyun, and he took over a month of injury before taking up his post.

Serious injuries are not so easy to recover, Fang Yuan may not have recovered his body.

Lifting a hundred catties at this time is undoubtedly embarrassing for him.

It may even be an aggravated injury.

Fang Yuan fell asleep at the door of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it was a silent protest to Pei Xiang.

No, no, it was a vocal protest, because Fang Yuan was snoring.

The imperial city is very close to the imperial palace, what happened here will soon be reported to the imperial palace.

Coupled with Li Shimin's special attention, Li Shimin soon knew Fang Yuan's situation.

"Hahaha sleeping in front of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Fang Yuan probably dares to do this!"

After Li Shimin learned the specific situation, he couldn't help laughing.

It was a flat-bottomed thunderous counterattack, where silence speaks louder than sound.

Pei Ji probably never imagined that Fang Yuan would be so careless about his image.

Fang Yuan lay down like this today, who in the three provinces and six divisions didn't know that Pei Ji deliberately made things difficult for others?
Fang Yuan originally wanted to have a showdown with Fang Yuan after Fang Yuan took office as Chang'an Order.

But seeing the current situation, he decided to postpone it a little bit, and wait for Fang Yuan and Pei Ji to fight before meeting Fang Yuan.

"Continue to send people to watch."

"Also, remind You Pu She not to interfere."

Li Shimin ordered.

Someone below immediately listened to the order to leave.

Office of the Ministry of Officials.

Pei Ji looked at the sleeping Fang Yuan with a dark face.

He can probably guess what kind of impact Fang Yuan's move will have.

It's just that Fang Yuan was so shameless that he fell asleep and snored on the spot.

"Pei Xiang, I'm afraid this will have a bad effect."

Zhangsun Wuji finally couldn't help but speak.

Fang Yuan fell asleep at his door, which was also an influence on him.

"No three, no morals, no superiors. Young people are young after all."

"The position of Chang'an Ling is of great importance. It is absolutely impossible for such a person to be able to sit firmly. The Ministry of Officials should re-designate this person's position."

Pei Ji said in a low voice.

How did he not know that Fang Yuan's move would have a bad influence.

But let him wake up Fang Yuan, tell Fang Yuan not to sleep here?
That's impossible!

I am Shangshu Zuo Pushe!

Now that you've lost face, don't worry about losing face again.

"Isn't this bad?"

"The appointment and dismissal of the Chang'an Order belong to His Majesty."

Changsun Wuji suddenly looked distressed and said.

"Chang'an Ling is appointed and dismissed by His Majesty."

"But Fang Yuan is not an order of Chang'an, he is still appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of Officials."

"Young people lack exercise. It is not good for him to be promoted too quickly. Go to a remote place to hone it for a few more years."

Pei Ji said in a cold voice with a gloomy face.

Since you don't give yourself face so much, let him hide forever.

Even if Du Ruhui came in person, I would not give him face.

I believe this time there will be no more Wang Gui coming to help Fang Yuan to speak, no one can stop him.

"But."

Changsun Wuji still hesitated.

Whether Pei Ji knew he was not sure.

But he knew that Fang Yuan was deeply cared for by the emperor.

With the emperor watching from a high place, how dare he relegate Fang Yuan away.

The Emperor personally named Fang Yuan as Chang'an Commander, and he would not contradict the Emperor.

"Even if His Majesty knew, His Majesty would not blame the old minister."

"It's a disaster for Chang'an City, for His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, and us, for such a person to take the post of Chang'an Order."

Pei Ji said categorically.

He didn't know Fang Yuan's position in the emperor's heart.

I just think that Fang Yuan is more liked by the emperor, but I guess he won't lose face because of Fang Yuan.

As long as Fang Yuan is transferred to other places, then it is a done deal, even the emperor is embarrassed to change the order day and night, shaking the stability of the court.

"What Prime Minister Pei said is absolutely true."

"Master Shangshu, why don't you let me wait?"

The left and right servants of the Ministry of Rites stood up and saluted Pei Ji and Changsun Wuji.

"This matter has nothing to do with me."

Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, shook his head and said.

It is impossible for him to help Pei Ji, let alone Fang Yuan.

So for him, the best option is to be a bystander.

But such bystanders are not what Pei Ji wants to see.

He took a deep look at Changsun Wuji, waved his hands, and asked the servants of the Ministry of Rites to execute it.

As Shangshu Zuopushe, he is in charge of the six ministries and has the right to directly order the officials of the six ministries to do things, even if it is the official minister.

Just when the servants of the left and right officials were about to go to work, Fang Yuan woke up from his sleep.

He fell asleep just now, but he was not very familiar with it, and he had observed things outside.

After learning that Pei Ji wanted to demote himself and leave, Fang Yuan knew it was time to wake up.

"Pei Xiangzhen is really powerful. He controls the appointment and removal of officials with a monstrous hand."

"I just don't know whether it's Prime Minister Pei's order or His Majesty's imperial decree."

Fang Yuan sneered.

Take out the imperial decree from the bosom.

It was the imperial decree issued by Li Shimin.

It records the purpose of Fang Yuan's promotion to Chang'an Order.

Pei Ji and Changsun Wuji watched Fang Yuan take out the imperial decree, their expressions changed.

Prime Minister Pei's orders are more important than His Majesty's imperial decree. These words hit the hearts of several people deeply.

None of Pei Ji and Changsun Wuji thought that Fang Yuan would come up with the imperial decree.

After all, the imperial decree is for everyone in Liaozhou, including Fang Yuan, to be rewarded, not for Fang Yuan alone.

According to normal circumstances, the imperial decree should be stored in the governor's office in Liaozhou to warn officials of the governor's office for generations.

But Fang Yuan actually took the imperial decree as his own, and even carried it with him, this is something they didn't expect.

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

Pei Ji and the others looked at each other, and finally saluted the imperial decree very reluctantly.

"Is Prime Minister Pei old and dim?"

"These words don't need to be read out by an official?"

The corner of Fang Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and he walked towards Pei Ji with the imperial decree in his hand.

When he arrived in front of Pei Ji, he spread out the imperial decree and pointed to the imperial decree to write.

"No, the truth is not blind."

Pei Ji sat down on the stool and turned his head away.

With a sullen face, he snorted coldly, and didn't want to pay attention to Fang Yuan.

"You two servants, do you need to read it to the two of you?"

Fang Yuan won't forgive anyone, he walked towards the two servants of the official department.

"Need not!"

The faces of the servants of the left and right officials also became ugly.

Following Pei Ji's example, he ignored Fang Yuan after sitting down.

Fang Yuan looked at Changsun Wuji at the side, pondered for a moment and did not make things difficult for him.

After all, he didn't deliberately target himself, and he still needs to cooperate with Zhang Sun Chong to do business.

"Don't you bother?"

"Then the subordinate will go to a remote area to work for a few years before returning?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

His gaze finally turned to Pei Ji.

Pei Ji's face twitched again, feeling very uncomfortable.

With the emperor's decree, he can't say much else.

It is impossible to send Fang Yuan to other places before the emperor knows.

It's just that Fang Yuan never imagined that Fang Yuan would be so mean, using the imperial decree to talk about things again and again, it's too embarrassing for him.

"What does Xiang Pei think?"

"Is the next official able to take up the post of Chang'an Ling?"

Fang Yuan approached Pei Ji again.

Put the imperial decree heavily in front of him.

With a bang, Pei Ji's face turned ugly again.

Finally, Pei Ji snorted coldly, got up and walked outside.

The two ministers on the left and right also snorted coldly, got up and left.

This hum is dissatisfaction with Fang Yuan, hostility towards Fang Yuan.

This enmity is settled today.

"Shangsun Shangshu, what do you think?"

Fang Yuan looked at the backs of Pei Ji and the others leaving, and sneered.

Then he looked at Changsun Wuji who was beside him, and said in a deep voice.

"I've heard of Ni's reputation a long time ago, but seeing it today is really eye-opening."

"Fang Yuan, congratulations on your promotion to Chang'an Order, I wish you a bright future!"

Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, then said with a smile.

For Fang Yuan to be promoted to Chang'an Order, he must have gained the emperor's trust.

He and the emperor share weal and woe, he and Fang Yuan are naturally on the same front.

The two have no conflict of interest, so Changsun Wuji will not help Fang Yuan at most, and will not be hostile to Fang Yuan.

"Thank you, Changsun Shangshu."

"May I ask if the process of appointing the next official as Chang'an Order has been completed?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, retracted his attacking state, and said calmly.

His business with Changsun Chong may also be explained to Changsun Wuji in the future.

After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who is in charge of the appointment and removal of countless officials. It is better not to offend or not to offend.

"Since Pei Xiang has nothing to say, I naturally have nothing else to say."

"Wait a moment, I will ask someone to bring you the official seal and uniform of the Chang'an Order."

Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

He called out a few times, and an assistant arrived immediately.

After waiting for Changsun Wuji's order, the man left immediately and came back soon.

"Fang Ling, congratulations!"

Changsun Wuji held the clothes and the official seal in his hands, and said solemnly.

He looked at the official seal on it with a look of envy.

Although Chang'an Ling is only the fifth rank, below him, it is Chang'an Ling.

It can be said that issues such as the personal safety of himself and others are completely in the hands of Chang'an Ling.

The public security of Chang'an City is in charge of two forces, one is the Chang'an Order, which is mainly responsible for the outer city, and the other is the Jinwu Guard, which is mainly responsible for the inner city.

However, there is no accurate division of the inner city and the outer city. The default is that the scope of the imperial palace within the Suzaku Gate is under the jurisdiction of the Jinwu Guard, and that outside the Suzaku Gate is under the jurisdiction of the Chang'an Order.

In a word, the Jinwu Guard has the right to manage the whole city, but because of its transcendent status, unless it is requested by the emperor or during a war, it is only responsible for the security issues within the Suzaku Gate.

So to a certain extent, he also needs Fang Yuan's Chang'an order to protect him.

"Thank you, Changsun Shangshu!"

Fang Yuan took over the government office and official seal, slightly excited.

Fang Ling and Fang County Magistrate, although there is a difference in one word, have the same meaning, but the meaning is very different.

Chang'an City is the imperial city, and as the county magistrate of the imperial city, his status is undoubtedly the highest among the counties, and he is also higher than the general governor.

"I won't keep you any longer."

"Go back and get used to it. It's best to be able to take office tomorrow."

Changsun Wuji smiled.

He felt that what happened today had to be reported to the emperor.

After all, Fang Yuan's sleeping at his door has too much influence, at least the whole staff already knows.

Sooner or later, the news will reach the emperor, so it's better to go to the emperor to report it in person, so as to avoid misunderstanding.

"Okay, farewell!"

Fang Yuan saluted, and then left the official office.

After leaving the door, not long after walking, Fang Yuan saw many officials looking at him with strange eyes.

The doubts were relieved for a moment, knowing that he was sleeping at the door of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the news had already attracted the attention of countless officials.

Many officials even knew that they were against Pei Ji, did not give Pei Ji face, forced Pei Ji to leave, etc., and became famous in one battle.

This has both good and bad, at least whoever dares to target himself in the future has to weigh whether he has the ability.

As Fang Yuan thought.

Today, people from the six departments in the three provinces have all recognized Fang Yuan.

At first they only knew that Fang Yuan was promoted quickly, and they were jealous, but now they began to know that Fang Yuan was very brave, even Prime Minister Pei didn't give him face, so he was not easy to bully.

Fang Yuan went all the way, out of the Vermilion Bird Gate.

As soon as he walked out of Suzaku Gate, he saw two familiar people not far away.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui.

When Fang Yuan saw it, his pupils shrank immediately.

Now, he is a fool if he doesn't know the identities of the two of them.

It's just what the two of them want, and what kind of identity do you want to face them?
After pondering for a moment, Fang Yuan calmed down, walked towards the two with a calm face.

Before the person reached, Li Shimin took the lead to walk towards Fang Yuan.

He smiled, with some mystery in his smile.

Eventually, the three approached.

When Fang Yuan was still hesitating how to address the two, Li Shimin spoke first.

"In the blink of an eye, half a year later, the level has changed again, Fang Ling, congratulations."

Li Shimin smiled even wider.

He couldn't wait to see Fang Yuan's shocked look.

But don't rush now, step by step, slowly induce Fang Yuan, making Fang Yuan even more shocked by his identity.

"Boss Li, long time no see."

"Butler Du, long time no see."

Fang Yuan nodded to the two and said with a smile.

It turned out that the emperor didn't want to show his identity to himself.

Then what is he holding back?
