Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 511
Jingzhou.

Jinling in March is already full of spring, although it has not yet reached the scene of a hundred flowers, but there is spring green everywhere.

Jinling in March is already warm enough, and it is very common to wear unlined clothing when going out, especially at noon, when the sun shines, it is warm everywhere.

However, compared with Jinling, Jingzhou in March is still slightly colder.

Only the new buds of the weeping willows and the occasional turquoise that can be seen in the grass herald the arrival of spring.

Today, morning.

Emperor Tang was in a bad mood recently, and everything started when Mo Li and Princess Yilan returned to Jingzhou.

Emperor Tang was delighted to see Princess Yilan return to her original state again, but Mo Li told him about Tang Sanjue alone. Emperor Tang still respected him as a maverick uncle.

Especially when Tang Sanjue was fighting for the crown prince, Tang Sanjue, who was far away in the rivers and lakes, came back to help him on purpose. This was also the main reason why Emperor Tang respected Tang Sanjue.

Now that he suddenly heard the news of Tang Sanjue's death, how could Emperor Tang be in a good mood?

Out of respect for Tang Sanjue, Emperor Tang originally planned to hold a big funeral, but was opposed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Tang San is not only the emperor's uncle, but also the number one master of the Tang Dynasty. He enjoys a high reputation in the martial arts. If those countries who covet the Tang Dynasty want to plot evil against the Tang Dynasty, Tang San will definitely be a kind of shock to them!

Therefore, the news of Tang Sanjue's death is not suitable for a big deal. It is only known to a small number of people, and even the people of Tang Dynasty cannot tell it.

Emperor Tang thought over and over again, and finally compromised.

He represents not only himself, but also tens of thousands of Tang people behind him, and he needs to consider them.

For Tang Sanjue's death, Emperor Tang was only a little sad for a day or two at the beginning, but soon he looked away.

People are mortal, besides Tang Sanjue is very old, no matter what he does in his life, he will do everything with willfulness, and he will live completely for himself, so he should have no regrets in his life.

It's not sad if you think about it, but the fact that a big funeral was rejected by all the officials still made him a little angry. Although he knew that it really shouldn't be a big funeral, he still couldn't stop his anger.

…………

Today's Emperor Tang swept away the gloomy mood of the previous few days. Even the ministers in the court felt the change of Emperor Tang, looked up at Emperor Tang, and prepared to hear what could make Emperor Tang so excited.

The reason why Emperor Tang is like this today is mainly because of the letter he received last night.

Emperor Tang stood up and said loudly: "I received a letter from Uncle Zhang yesterday, saying that the refugee tide in the south has been disbanded, and the price of food has not only dropped, but also much lower than the original price! Ladies and gentlemen, see for yourself Look!"

With that said, he handed the letter in his hand to Wu De and asked him to read it for the officials.

This letter was indeed written by Zhang Twelve. It was written on the night when Zhaojialiangzhuang was bombed. God wrote this letter.

After reading the letter, all the officials had different expressions.

Some were shocked, some suddenly realized, and some were very pleased, such as Zhang Guogong, such as Mu Taishi.

The officials finally found out why the former Zhang Xianbo, who had always caused troubles, suddenly disappeared in Jingzhou. It turned out that he had gone to Jinling to handle this matter!
There is still a lot of envy. Zhang Twelve can go to Jinling silently. Behind this is the trust and attention of Emperor Tang. Such a holy family is beyond the reach of ordinary people!

After reading it, all the officials handed over the letter to Emperor Tang.

Emperor Tang looked at the officials and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shouted together: "The emperor's grace is mighty! The world is peaceful!"

Emperor Tang waved his hand and said, "I'm not worried about the price of food in the south and the flow of refugees this time! It's all due to Uncle Zhang's actions to solve it so satisfactorily!"

As soon as these words came out, the officials were silent.

It is obvious that Emperor Tang wants to put all the credit for this time on Zhang Twelve alone. Some people are envious and jealous, while others are happy.

Emperor Tang didn't care what the officials were thinking, he said decisively: "Where is Du Mingyang?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the minister is here!"

At this time, a thin man with white face, beardless and not tall stood up and said with a bow.

"Uncle Zhang's original official position was the third-rank General Zhenyuan, right?"

Emperor Tang asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right!"

The Du Mingyang who spoke was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

After King Xiang was assassinated last time, Hao Junguang's family, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was executed by all the family members, and the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials was vacated. Later, Taishi Mu recommended him, and the Tang Emperor agreed to Du Mingyang as the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

After he took office, he worked conscientiously. Although he was not outstanding, there were no major mistakes. Emperor Tang had a good impression of him.

"Then make him the Great General Protecting the Nation!"

As soon as Emperor Tang's words fell, the hall was completely quiet, and a needle could be heard.

Even Du Mingyang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was stunned for a moment, but quickly adjusted his state, bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"No!"

"No, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Du Mingyang agreed, voices of opposition rang out in the court, and most of these voices came from the civil servant camp.

Emperor Tang ignored them, but looked at Du Mingyang and asked, "Du Shangshu, tell me, is it okay or not for me to designate Zhang Twelve as the Great General to Protect the Country?"

Du Mingyang didn't even pause, and replied directly: "The Great Tang is His Majesty's Great Tang, and all civil and military officials are also appointed by His Majesty. Since His Majesty named Zhang Xianbo as the Great General to Protect the Country, it is naturally possible!"

I have to say, this flattering is very comfortable!

Emperor Tang took a look at Du Mingyang, feeling admiration. Before, he thought that this man was a mediocre person who did things safely and did not seek to be outstanding, but only to have faults.

But today I saw his flexible side, not only reacting fast enough, but also able to understand his own spirit, follow his own tone, and make people feel comfortable!
Under the whole world, could it be the king's soil, the shore of the land, could it be the king's minister!
I am the monarch of a country, who would dare to disobey?

The civil servants did not dare to refute Emperor Tang's words, but they didn't like to listen to Du Mingyang's words!
Are you the only one who can kiss ass?

Just to show you can do it?
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, good medicine is bitter, and faithful advice is harsh!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Du Shangshu has always catered to His Majesty, but he dared not express his own opinions. This is not beneficial to His Majesty's decision-making!"

All the officials talked in a hurry, all pointing their fingers at Du Mingyang.

But Du Mingyang didn't change his face, as if the people were not talking about him, after answering Emperor Tang's question, he slowly backed away, turning a blind eye to everyone's accusations.

These civil servants are so angry, as if they have hit the cotton with their fists, and they can't exert any strength.Moreover, when Du Mingyang retreated, the words of these civil officials seemed to be accusing Tang Emperor, and the next duel was Tang Emperor vs. all the civil officials.

The faces of these civil servants were turning green, and they scolded Du Mingyang's eighteen generations of ancestors in their hearts, but they had no choice but to stand outside at this moment, waiting for Emperor Tang's question...

…………

Ever since Emperor Tang ordered Yang Zexin to never be an official and punished the Yang family in a disguised form, Yang Feng kept a low profile.

He is no longer the same as before, running to the East Palace all day long, and he is no longer the same as before, making all the civil servants look up to him.

At the beginning, Yang Feng didn't get used to it, but after a long time, he enjoyed this kind of life very much, and felt that life suddenly became clear, as if he had seen everything through, not to mention other things, at least it was much quieter, and he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

So at this time, Yang Feng stood among the officials, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, smiling but didn't say a word, while Bai Jianfu, another heavyweight in the civil official camp, also remained silent and didn't make any fuss.

Most of these booers are civil officials like Yushi.

The censor has always made a living by admonishing, if no censor does not give advice, then what is the use of this censor?
As censors, they naturally understand their responsibilities. Although admonishment sometimes makes Tang Emperor unhappy, it is only temporary. Afterwards, Tang Emperor will definitely praise them, saying that they did not hesitate to commit crimes for the sake of the country and society. commendable!

They have done this kind of thing a lot, and they are used to it. How can they not ask for advice at a time like today?
Excluding this reason, the most important thing is that they really don't like that Zhang Twelve!

Although I didn't have much contact with him, everyone knew that he was a very difficult person, and his mouth was even more vicious than their censors!Moreover, this guy was lawless when he was a third-rank general Zhenyuan, and even dared to cheat the prince. If he became a first-rank general protecting the country, what would happen?
At that time, he will definitely have to go to court every morning...

At that time, he will definitely quarrel with them...

When the time comes—they don't dare to think about it anymore. They used to quarrel with rough people like Mo Guogong before, and they won't be defeated every time, but if they quarrel with Zhang Twelve, they really have no confidence!
Don't be afraid of hooligans, just be afraid of hooligans who are educated!
Therefore, today they are bound to stop Emperor Tang!
You have to stop me from hosting the emperor's uncle's funeral, and now you are going to stop me when I want to reward someone, it's really daring!

The censors successfully aroused the anger that Emperor Tang had suppressed so hard, raised his eyebrows, and said with a stern look in his eyes: "Okay, then I would like to hear from you why this Twelve can't be sealed!"

Tang Emperor's face became ugly, but these censors usually saw a lot, and they didn't take it seriously. One of the older censors stood up and bowed to Tang Emperor: "Your Majesty, canonize Zhang Xianbo as Great General Protecting the Nation, this matter is really inappropriate, it cannot be justified in terms of emotion and reason, I hope Your Majesty will think twice about it!"

Emperor Tang glanced at the censor who was speaking, and sneered in his heart.

The person who spoke was called Jiang Wenchai, and the official worshiped Zhongshu Ling.

This guy turned out to be a censor, and when he was admonished at the beginning, he was a fierce one. He was admonished every day, and he was admonished more than once. Tang Emperor was very troublesome to him, but he had no choice but to give some suggestions for reference. , even if Emperor Tang didn't like him, there was nothing he could do.

Later, seeing that he was getting older, he was promoted to Zhongshuling by excuse.

Unexpectedly, this guy doesn't know good and bad, and he is not honest after being promoted to Zhongshu Ling. Emperor Tang had a headache for a while!
Hearing Jiang Wenchai's words, Emperor Tang sneered in his heart: "Okay, then you can talk to everyone carefully, why can't you be emotional and reasonable?"

Jiang Wenqian had already thought out his speech from the moment he made the admonition, and he didn't panic at all when he was asked by Emperor Tang. He immediately said convincingly: "Yu Li, Zhang Xianbo, everyone knows it. If you don't say it at a young age, the main reason is The qualifications are too low! It was very unreasonable for His Majesty to confer the title of Grand General of Zhenyuan on a white-bodied county uncle Zhang before, but now, in less than half a year, he directly canonizes County uncle Zhang from a third-rank general Zhenyuan to a first-rank guardian. General of the country, this is really unbelievable!"

After Jiang Wenjian finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

This statement won the approval of some people. In any case, Zhang Twelve is too young, even younger than Mo Li, who was named the general of the town two years ago. It is still normal to promote a second-rank military general, but Zhang Twelve is a bit too exaggerated, right?Even if it's a partiality, it's too blatant, isn't it?

He won the highest military general title at such a young age, how did he get it after that?He can't go to heaven?

Seeing that the officials were very cooperative with him, Jiang Wenjian was full of smiles, and then said: "Yu Qing, this is even more unreasonable! The position of the general who protects the country has been vacant for a long time, even if he wants to elect someone If he becomes the Great General of Protecting the Nation, then it will not be the turn of Uncle Zhang, right? General Mo has fought in the battlefields for many years, and he has made great achievements in battle. How could Zhang Xianbo break the rules and become the Great General of Protecting the Country?"

Seeing that all the officials were contemplating, Jiang Wenjian smiled proudly and said, "Besides, what Zhang Xianbo did is nothing like General Mo's! General Mo's bloody battle, it was a narrow escape, and the official position is his own." It was typed out, and Zhang Xianbo did it—tsk tsk, we can send our civil officials to these things, and send a military commander—it’s hard work for Zhang County! Uncle is not enough to be named the Great General of Protecting the Country, if His Majesty insists on going his own way, not only will the court be dissatisfied with civil and military affairs, but it will also chill the hearts of heroes like General Mo!"

Jiang Wenchai's meaning is obvious. He compared Zhang Twelve's behavior of going to the south to quell the homeless tide this time with Mo Li's original battle on the battlefield, so it is easy to give people the impression that it is Zhang Twelve's contribution to calming the homeless tide That's all!

One is holding his head in his hands, and the other—I'm afraid he's just talking!

That's why Jiang Wenchai would deliberately laugh at the end, saying that things like calming down the refugee tide should have been the business of their civil servants, and what would he do if he sent a general?I'm afraid it wasn't a blind cat that ran into a dead mouse!
Jiang Wenchai's words attracted admiring and envious glances from all the censors.

And as soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the hall, and all the officials were waiting for how the Emperor Tang would respond...
