Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Tai Chi Temple.

Chu Suiliang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, reported the results of this year's examinations of various departments in a precise and orderly manner.

In Chang'an City, the exams will end on September [-]th, and the results will be released in October. There is no problem with the time.

Apart from his bad temper and a little selfishness, Chu Suiliang's ability is still good, and he does very well in exams.

Even Fan Zheng and Honglu Temple, who had little to deal with him, fluctuated back and forth between upper, middle, and upper in their exams, and even if there were any deviations, they wouldn't be too big.

The exams in other yamen were not so satisfactory, and it was difficult to get up and down.

Chu Suiliang's test results are all well-founded, and even if there are doubts, only a few people can just argue with them and the matter will be over.

But Zou Jiujiu, the imperial censor, jumped out: "I have some doubts. It is said that the former Supi prince Mangbo Jiesunbo bribed Honglu Prime Minister Tianda with a lot of money in order to enter the Honglu Temple to meet with the Yangtong Kingdoms. Really, I wonder if it’s true?”

Fan Zheng felt swollen and thought about changing into a loose official uniform: "Not only is it true, but I ordered it, how come?"

If you use bribes to attack officials below the fourth rank, it will be easy, but it will be no use to officials of the third rank.

Even so, it is rare for someone to be as outspoken as Fan Zheng.

"Does Honglu Qing think that Honglu Cheng is right to accept bribes?" Zou Jiujiu grabbed the handle and climbed up.

Fan Zheng glanced at Zou Jiujiu with contempt: "Tian Dazhen's benefit is also one of Honglu Temple's plans for Fanbang. It is an important matter for the imperial court, under the guidance of the Political Affairs Hall, and approved by His Majesty."

"Is Shi Yushi considering himself as Zaifu?"

Jiang Ke, the general of the left guard, laughed silently.

Bring shame on yourself.

Diplomatic relations and war are the same, there is never a fixed pattern. Fan Zheng agreed, even Zaifu had to hold back his opinions.

Otherwise, if Fan Zheng hands over Honglu Temple to you, can you handle it?
Just like Fan Zheng's hand, "it's not like enemies don't meet each other", it was enough to shock people for a while.

Rumor has it that Fan Zheng was also responsible for the emperor's idea of ​​building an army to ascend to heaven. Otherwise, why would Dunhuafang have donated so quickly?
Even Fan Zheng himself didn't know the news, and he would never dare to take the credit if he knew it.

This idea has nothing to do with Fan.

Situ Li Yuanjing chuckled: "No matter how secretive it is, it is timely. Tubo's argument about Chamo has been reversed, so it doesn't hurt to elaborate on it. It will also give me some insights."

Li Yuanjing deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "Situ" to show his serious dissatisfaction with the empty title.

Li Yuanjing had the intention of running against Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng looked at Emperor Yonghui and Grand Lieutenant Sun Wuji.

Emperor Yonghui had a sullen face and nodded gently.

Changsun Wuji said: "Since Situ really wants to know about major diplomatic matters, Honglu Qing might as well give you a brief introduction."

Agreed, but dismissed Li Yuanjing's "detailed explanation".

What's your level? Do you want to hear more details?
Fan Zheng grinned: "The reason why Mangbo Jetsonbo paid so much money is because, as a rule, Su Pi has lost his country and is no longer qualified to appear in Honglu Temple."

"The young minister of Honglu Temple agreed to Mangbo Jiesunbo's appearance. The heavy money was just a threshold. The intention was to let Yang, the remnants of Tuyuhun, and the dead Supi restrain Tubo and bind it to the plateau."

"In return, Mangbo Jetsonbo also gave a secret message that someone in our court was secretly colluding with Tubo."

"I wonder if Situ is satisfied with this statement?"

Li Yuanjing's complexion gradually turned dark.

One or two paragraphs of Fan Zheng's speech were actually normal and sounded impeccable.

Speaking of the third paragraph, his gaze was still directed at himself. Is this fictitious hookup with an important minister insinuating against himself?
In the conscience of heaven and earth, Li Yuanjing did have an affair with Tuguhun through Zhuang Langlangji, and it was for profit!
To hook up with Tubo, you also want Tubo to appreciate Li Yuanjing's shady power!If he really wanted to do it, Li Yuanjing might just put his tail between his legs, but that's really not the case!

There's no way to explain the problem. Fan Zheng didn't mention anyone by name from beginning to end. If you try to jump out, it would seem like you don't have 300 taels of silver here.

Wrong!

Zou Jiujiu refused and said, "I'm sorry that I don't understand, why is heavy money the threshold?"

Fan Zheng turned his head to the sky and refused to explain.

The censor Zhongcheng Zhang Wencong sighed: "This is not something that a mere censor like you can understand."

"How can we win the trust of Mangbo Jayson Bo without accepting a large sum of money? Do you want me, the Tang Dynasty, to chase him behind and say: Come on, I, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely uphold justice for you?"

Zou Jiujiu didn't understand that rushing was not a business.

However, Yushi Zhongcheng couldn't stand it anymore. If he didn't know how to advance or retreat, he would probably have to wear small shoes.

Although the censor can defy the sky, the earth, and the air, he cannot defy his own superior.

I'm so angry. I want you to go to Jiaozhou thousands of miles away to see a thick-lipped lady for a year and a half, plus a year and a half of round trip. Is it enough?
After that, various ministers took turns to report things, and the affairs of Japan naturally came to the fore.

"With 120 people studying abroad, the battle in Japan is a bit big!" Wei Weiqing Xu Jingzong took a breath.

When Zhu Fan went to Datang to study, there were usually a group of 50 to [-] people.

Liu Rengui said in a straight-forward manner: "Back then, Qing Honglu killed a Japanese monk with a sword."

Cheng Yaojin slapped his thigh: "I remember! That was killing the Japanese monk who was spying on the military in front of the late emperor!"

Cheng Yaojin's words completed Liu Rengui's deliberately one-sided words. It would be inappropriate to use this matter to criticize Fan Zheng.

Why, Taizong recognized what Fan Zheng had done at that time, but if you don’t, who do you think you are?

"Chen Fan Zheng believes that both monks and students studying abroad must live in the areas designated by the Tang Dynasty, learn the content designated by the Tang Dynasty, and abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

"People from foreign countries are not allowed to enjoy higher treatment than common people in the Tang Dynasty, and they are not allowed to become outside the law."

"If the judiciary and local governments cannot deal with the illegal foreigners, Honglu Temple would not mind doing it for them and killing a few of them."

Fan Zheng has great murderous intentions.

There are always yamen of one kind or another, who use various weird reasons to forgive the Fanbang people who committed crimes, so that the Fanbang people who were originally holding their tail between their legs in Chang'an City began to be arrogant.

If this continues, Chang'an City will have to be allowed to run rampant by foreigners.

It's the other way around!

When the Japanese pearl and silver horses were brought to the palace, Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes angrily: "Is this a horse? Is this a colt?"

Fan Zheng said: "It's the size of a five-year-old horse. The horses native to the Japanese country are of this size, and they are not tall."

Gao Xingcheng circled around the silver horse and slapped the horse on its back: "It's pure silver! Wow, why is this silver-producing place not in our Tang Dynasty!"

It seems that Gao Jingcheng is already thinking about replacing the copper standard with the silver standard, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Fan Zheng smiled and said: "Then don't think about it! Even if the Japanese country has silver mountains and the Tang Dynasty's buildings and ships cannot withstand the wind and waves, it will not be easy to get them back if they are given to you for free."

Yan Liben, the general master craftsman, raised his eyebrows and said, "As you wish, the building and the ship are not good enough. Is there any alternative?"

Fan Zheng smiled and said: "I don't know the details, but I have some ideas, so I can give you some ideas. A flat-bottomed boat is unstable on the sea, so why not build a pointed-bottomed boat?" (End of Chapter)
