This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

For these guys in the Ming Dynasty, except for the Ministry of Industry, which could compete with the Tang Dynasty, the other six yamen were at a disadvantage.

But they are not fools. Since the other films have no advantages at all, they will open another one based on their most advantageous aspect.

When the Tang and Ming dynasties were unified, no matter how powerful the officials of the Tang Dynasty were, the Ministry of Commerce would be firmly in their hands.

To this day, no one dares to say that they are stronger than Ming Dynasty in terms of business.

Don’t forget, Ming Dynasty’s success all the way to this day was only supported by business.

This is the biggest advantage of Ming Dynasty.

Li Chengqian nodded and said with a smile: "In our Ming Dynasty, commerce is at its peak. Everything is controlled by the Ministry of Household Affairs. It has indeed increased the work of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In this way, the ministers will discuss the details of establishing the Ministry of Commerce after they come to court. Play."

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Qinjian immediately accepted the order and thanked him.

They are also making plans for the future.

As long as Li Chengqian agrees to this matter, it will be much easier to handle.

When the court meeting ended, Li Qinjian and others also had smiles on their faces.

Judging from today's court meeting, Li Chengqian still supports them, and this is enough.

They were afraid that if Li Chengqian didn't support them, they would inevitably fall into decline in the future competition with the Tang Dynasty.

This is not what they want to see.

In the palace, Pu Xiluo said: "Since His Highness has approved our petition, the next step is the specific matters. Let's talk about this mission to the Tang Dynasty. Who is going?"

"Go to Xiaguan." Changsun Chong said, "Xiaguan has more experience in dealing with the old gang in Chang'an."

After living in the Ming Dynasty for so many years, Changsun Chong has lost his original elegance. There is no other way. In Riyue Mountain, elegance cannot be tolerated.

Hearing what he said, everyone nodded.

Indeed, Changsun Chong is indeed the most suitable candidate.

Firstly, he is the Minister of Hube, and secondly, his status can also make him more comfortable in Chang'an.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty are all pragmatists. If this advantage is not used, it will be in vain.

"Shilang Changsun is really a good choice." Li Qinjian also smiled when he heard this, "Not to mention anything else, at least Changsun Shilang knows much better than the rest of us about many matters of the Tang Dynasty."

"But the problem is that with such a large-scale mission to the Tang Dynasty, is it too rash to send only one minister of household affairs?" Qibi Heli said with some worry.

Although they discussed these issues yesterday, there has been no clear answer.

Of course, in fact, all parties wanted to take charge of this mission, so there were differences.

When Li Qinjian heard this, he also smiled and said: "Didn't His Highness give permission for us to open the Ministry of Commerce again? Since we are opening the Ministry of Commerce again, there will definitely be a post of Minister of the Ministry of Commerce. What do you think of Wang Xuance?"

Wang Xuance was now the Minister of Rites, and his promotion to the Minister of Shang was not considered a promotion.

Of course, everyone understood as soon as they heard what he said. He was trying to make room for Changsun Chong.

When Wang Xuance heard this, he didn't say much. Although he was enjoying his position in the Ministry of Rites, but when it came to development prospects, it was naturally the Ministry of Commerce.

As for making room for Changsun Chong, he didn't mind either.

After all, they are all Han people.

Although there are some disputes inside, at this time, they are still one.

"Speaking of which, asking Wang Shangshu to transfer the Ministry of Commerce is an understatement of talent." Pu Xiruo also laughed when he heard this, "But now it seems that no one is more suitable than Wang Shangshu."

"Indeed, it's just that I have wronged Wang Shangshu." Qibi Heli also laughed.

"My dear friends, this matter must be approved by His Highness after all. It doesn't matter if we say it." Wang Xuance also stood up quickly and said.

When everyone heard this, they also said in unison: "That's nature, that's nature."

But they actually understood that if they really wanted to recommend him like this, Li Chengqian would not refuse. In other words, as long as they didn't make any trouble, the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce would definitely fall on Wang Xuance.

Of course, they couldn't cause any trouble.

Ministry of Commerce, that is not something they can play around with.

When it comes to doing business, the Han people are indeed smarter than them.

Moreover, even if their people took control of the Ministry of Commerce, without Li Qinjian's cooperation, haha, they would be asking for trouble.

"But if this happens, there will be a lot of vacancies in the court..." Pu Xiro said with a smile.

As soon as they heard what he said, everyone understood.

You have taken possession of the ministers of the two departments, but what about the other officials of the two departments?

Li Qinjian was so shrewd, he immediately smiled and said: "That's true, but there is nothing the lower officials can do about this matter, and two servants need to discuss it."

Pu Xiruo and Qibi Heli understood instantly.

Everyone benefits.

If it were before, they might still fight openly and secretly, but now that everyone is unanimous, they have no intention of internal strife.

Of course, this is also the reason why Li Qinjian and others are more suitable for this position.

If it is an issue with the Ministry of War, see if they are that easy to talk to.

Everyone discussed it for a long time, but obviously these things cannot be concluded in a day or two. It still depends on Li Chengqian's attitude.

……

On the other side, Datang.

As Li Chengqian put down the rebellion, Chang'an also made many small moves.

Not to mention that the gentry had increased their support for Wang Renyou, even some officials in the court felt uneasy.

No, since the news of Ming Dynasty came, the threshold of Fang Xuanling's house has been trampled to pieces.

"Dong Guo Liang, the current situation..."

Fang Xuanling looked at the group of people sitting in the middle hall, shook his head and said, "Okay, I know what you want to say. What's going on with the situation now? The Tang Dynasty is booming, and the Ming Dynasty is also developing slowly. The future can be promising Period!"

Although he has now retired from the position of Prime Minister, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty dares to look down upon him.

First of all, Fang Xuanling is really a good person.

Secondly, Fang Xuanling is now in charge of the imperial examination. Although he seems to have no real power, he has a profound influence on many people.

"That's what I said." Next, an official heard the words and said, "But if the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty really want to unify, we will be worried about the future."

After all, people are selfish, and what they worry about most is themselves.

They just have some background, but they are not worth mentioning in front of that person. If Tang Ming really unified them in the future, their situation would be embarrassing.

Fang Xuanling didn't say much after hearing this. If this continues, these people will be in an embarrassing situation.

Ming Dynasty has a whole team to cover it, but they have no talent. The best outcome may be to govern a state and a government.

But this is not bad. If you really want to say it, how many people want it?
"Liang Guogong." Seeing that Fang Xuanling did not speak, the man continued, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu has also made quite a lot of political achievements in Chang'an City recently. Since His Highness the King of Shu took office in Chang'an Mansion, the changes in Chang'an are also obvious to all, and now His Majesty has great respect for Shu. The king’s attitude…”

"Stop." Before the man could continue, Fang Xuanling interrupted him directly, "Whatever you want to do, just do it. Don't talk to me. I am at home now, so I can do something for the court." Yes, of course I am willing, but as the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern. There are some things that I cannot participate in.

Come, see off. "

After that, Fang Xuanling stood up and left without ceremony, without giving anyone a chance to say anything.Seeing Fang Xuanling like this, and the stewards of the Fang Mansion also coming out to see off the guests, everyone would not stay here any longer, so everyone got up and left one after another.

There was just a look of disappointment on his face.

But in the back hall, Fang Xuanling had a sneer on her face.

"These guys are actually connected with the Cui family. I really don't know how they can write the word "death"?"

After saying that, Fang Xuanling shook his head and was quite speechless.

The old servant on the side smiled and said: "Whether it was his intention or not to kill like this in the Ming Dynasty, but Xue Rengui, as the person involved, has not even been dismissed from office, how could those guys not be afraid.

After all, they were the ones who forced that person out of Chang'an City back then, and they were also afraid that he would liquidate them in the future.

Compared to His Majesty, that one seems to be more ruthless. "

"There's a mistake here." Fang Xuanling said with a smile, "Do you think they really want to go against that person? It's just a test.

Five surnames and Qi Wang, if these guys come together, who dares to act rashly?If they didn't have this confidence, who do you think they would dare to offend?
To put it bluntly, they were just looking for a scapegoat for themselves, but in the end, these guys actually rushed forward.

In this way, you give a notice, and from now on, the house will be closed to thank guests.

Let’s not get involved in this muddy water. "

Hearing this, the old servant nodded. Just as he was about to reply, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "What if it's Duke Qi and others?"

"It doesn't matter." Fang Xuanling waved her hand and said, "They support the King of Shu because they are openly against the Duke of Qi. Do you think the Duke of Qi can tolerate them?
These people are all smart. "

He didn't care, it didn't matter, it didn't have much impact on his Fang family anyway.

In addition, he is now idle at home, which is actually another kind of protection for him.

As he said, if he is not in his position, he will not pursue political affairs. Now he will only focus on the imperial examination.

"Go and get busy first. Your Majesty made some comments on the memorial I gave to His Majesty before. I just have to revise it today."

After hearing this, the old servant bowed and left.

Everyone who had just walked out of the house shook their heads and said, "It seems that Duke Liang is determined not to get involved in this matter."

"This is no nonsense." Someone said, "Fang Erlang is now an unrivaled figure in the Ming Dynasty. No matter what the outcome is in the future, will it still affect his Fang family?
If a descendant of my family can achieve such an achievement as Fang Erlang in the Ming Dynasty, I won't be afraid! "

What he said was true. Although all the noble families in Chang'an had their children to develop in the Ming Dynasty, there were really few who could really take the lead.

Besides, they are all the second sons or bastards in the family. Even if they take the lead, can they still count on these people?

They are no bigger than the Fang family, the eldest grandson family, or the family's big business.

"Hey, what are you talking about..." Someone sighed helplessly.

As for them now, they are most embarrassed. They don't know how to deal with themselves.

"Okay, don't lament. The King of Shu is still waiting for our letter, and I don't know what the others are like."

They are not the only ones working hard for Li Ke this time. Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of people.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

Li Ke was sitting at the top with his brows furrowed. Seeing his appearance, everyone guessed that they would all fail.

In fact, it's normal. If you stand up to support Li Ke at this time, you are really taking a gamble.

But those people don’t need to gamble, so why take risks at this time?
In addition, there are many people supporting Li Chengqian in the court. If you take the lead at this time, aren't you asking for trouble?
There was nothing they could do, but if they had some way, they wouldn't express their stance so early.

"We are incompetent." Everyone bowed in unison.

Although Li Ke was angry, he was not angry. After hearing this, he walked down from above, helped everyone up one by one, and said: "I'm serious. It's not easy for you to run for me at this time. It's not easy for me." How can the king criticize you harshly?

Speaking of which, I am also afraid. I think that my brother, the king, killed tens of thousands of people in a blink of an eye. If my brother returns to the court in the future, how will I deal with it?
No matter what, it was me who stole the position that should have belonged to him. "

The position he was talking about was not the position of prince, but the governor of Chang'an.

Of course, the people present were also his confidants, so he dared to say this.

Over the years, he has actually won over a lot of people. Of course, those who can be won over by him are actually guys who have difficulty making progress.

For these people, choosing Li Ke is a big gamble in itself.

If they are not qualified to climb onto Li Chengqian's big ship, then they will have to fight to the death.

Fang Xuanling and those guys got where they are today because of their right choices.

As for Li Ke, he didn't mean that he had to fight. In fact, he gave up this idea at the beginning, but until Li Er gave him the position of Chang'an Prefecture, he became more active again.

In addition, Li Chengqian has become stronger and stronger over the years, and so has Ming Dynasty. Li Er seems to intend to cultivate him, which gives him invisible hope.

This is why many officials choose to place bets.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter needs to be discussed in the long term." Yang De said, "Although that person is not in Chang'an now, there are still many people in Chang'an who support him. Now it is not a good thing for us to have a head-on confrontation. .”

"If I say that I have never thought of confronting him head-on, do you believe it?" Li Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Head-to-head, what a joke, doesn’t he know how much he weighs?

It's just that sometimes it's not his intention to get to this point.

He was also pushed by others and got to where he is today step by step.

At this time, he envied Li Tai.

Li Tai broke his leg that year and stayed in Ming Dynasty to recuperate, but he really hid there. Although he has returned to Chang'an now, he has been staying behind closed doors for a long time because of his leg disease.

Instead, he got sucked into the whirlpool.

But in the final analysis, it was still greed. He saw Li Er's dissatisfaction from Li Er's attitude towards Li Chengqian several times, and he was actually gambling.

However, it is also a fact that the strength is insufficient.

"Actually, we can win over Duke Qi." At this moment, someone said.

"Qi Guo Gong?" As soon as the man finished speaking, someone waved his hand and said, "Have you forgotten what the relationship between Qi Guo Gong and that person is?

Even if Duke Qi is dissatisfied with that person, will he support His Highness? "

Changsun Wuji supported Li Ke, and they couldn't even think about it.

What do you think when your nephews don't support you but support others?

"For Duke Qi, does it really matter who you support?" The man continued, "At this point, in the end, it is all for profit, just like the Cui family, the Lu family, and the Zheng family, why do they support His Highness? No Is it because they offended that person so much back then?

Duke Guo of Qi has offended that person a lot over the years, right? "

In fact, what he wanted to say was not this, but that when it comes to interests, there is no family affection. As long as Li Ke can provide sufficient benefits, Changsun Wuji may not be a staunch queen.

When Yang De heard this, he also nodded and said: "You can indeed fight for the Duke of Qi, but before you fight for the Duke of Qi, you must know the attitude of the King of Yue."

As Li Ke's staff, Yang De is still very responsible. In recent years, Li Ke has been able to attract so many supporters, and Yang De has contributed a lot.

Especially the former Sui officials, almost all of them were won over by Yang De.

"From my point of view, the King of Yue seems to be determined not to interfere with the government." Someone said, "It is reported that someone went to the Duke of Qi's Mansion before, but when he came out, his face was dark."

"Why is this?" someone asked in confusion.
