Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 446 Deafening
Soon, Qin Hao saw Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling was obviously in good spirits, wearing a short jacket, casually, and no one picked on him.

Seeing Qin Hao, Fang Xuanling greeted warmly: "Zhenheng, why do you think of me? Sit down, sit down, I just bought a batch of good Tuancha, you are an expert in this stuff, come on, Cook it quickly, tell me, how about this thing?"

Qin Hao said with a smile: "If Fang Xiang likes to drink tea, I still have some good white balls at home, and I will send them to you later."

"Hey, you can't call Fang Xiang anymore, just call Liang Guogong. You came this time, but you discussed joining the Tang Fed with me? I agree, you tell your father-in-law, and I will fully cooperate with him in what he wants me to do."

Qin Hao hurriedly said: "Fang Xiang, don't be joking. How can Datang leave you? Why not? The imperial court wanted me to be the servant of the secretary. I came to you as a subordinate, Qiantou Wan Xu, we juniors really can't play around, I don't know about Shang Shu Sheng's side, but Zhong Shu Sheng's side, we really can't do without you."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "What is this called? Zhenheng, your talent is rare in a thousand years. Although your qualifications are low, I really don't think there is anything you can't do well. I have been a prime minister for more than ten years. Now that the state of the Tang Dynasty is stable and long, and the people are rich and surrendered, is it time for us old guys to take a rest, we always occupy a position at the top, when will you juniors have a bright future."

"The younger generation is just 25 this year. I really don't have to worry about getting ahead. The Prime Minister should stop talking and joking. No one can leave the Prime Minister without the court. I also ask the Prime Minister to put the country first, and don't fight with the saint anymore."

Fang Xuanling said disapprovingly: "How can it be that I am fighting against the saint? I am dismissing the chancellor, not resigning from office. You can't talk nonsense."

Qin Hao smiled wryly and said: "Master Fang, we have been in contact with each other for so many years, you will never really have the heart to put this junior on the fire, I beg you, please give in to the saint and come back. "

Fang Xuanling glanced at Qin Hao with a half-smile, waved his hand, and pushed away all the servants serving in the hall, and said, "Zhenheng, from the severe drought in the second year of Zhenguan to now, I have dealt with you for 13 years. Over the past 13 years, I have watched you step by step from a commoner to where you are today. When you first entered the capital, you lived in the bed of my secretary. , it can be regarded as getting along well, and the dog Yiai is still working under your command, and I have always treated you like a nephew."

"The house is full of love, and the younger generation is very grateful."

"It's been 13 years, and I haven't talked to you very much. Today I came down and you came up. I have a few words from the bottom of my heart to tell you."

"Please tell the house, the younger generation will listen attentively."

"What's the matter with my resignation this time? All the civil and military officials in the court understand that my authority is indeed a bit heavy. I have followed the saint since he raised his troops. If you want to talk about suspicion, I think there is no such thing as between us monarchs and ministers. , but you have to know that I am already over 60, and the power of these two provinces must be handed over to one province. It is unlucky to say that at my age, who can guarantee that I will not suddenly die one day, gone Can I, Datang still transfer?"

"Fang Xiang's body has always been strong, so it is natural for auspicious people to have their own heavenly appearance."

"Don't say it's useless. I originally thought that the sage would gradually hand over Shang Shusheng to Zhangsun Wuji, but since you are the new Minister of Zhongshu, come to think of it, it is Shang Shusheng that the sage wants me to hand over."

"The younger generation has little talent and learning, so it is really difficult to take on the big responsibility."

"Be humble, you and I both know that in terms of ability and merit, you are enough. What you lack is nothing more than qualifications. In fact, with your ability and merit, you may not be able to overwhelm others. It's just that you are in vain. For so many years as Wei Zheng's apprentice, you haven't learned a single bit of his uprightness, you are just afraid of offending others."

"That's what Fang Xiang taught me."

"There's nothing wrong with being tactful. If everyone learns from your master, the court will be in chaos. You've been an official until you were young, and you've been able to do so at a young age. Your tact is also a credit to you, but Ah, how can you not offend people when you do things, even people dare not offend, how can the Ministry of Education let you take care of them in the future? After all, I am already an old man who is dying. The energy is always getting weaker and weaker, even if the aspect is restored, Zhongshu Sheng must gradually let go, you said, between you and Cen Wenwen, who should take the lead."

"Cen Shilang has been in Zhongshu Province for more than ten years. He is a senior. What's more, he is the left servant in the official position, and the junior is only the right servant. Naturally, he should be the main one."

"It's dishonest for you to talk like this. Cen Wenwen came from the Imperial Academy and is a writer. Can he compete with you? Do you really have no idea about the lord of this province?"

Qin Hao smiled shyly. What he said just now was indeed a bit of a wolf with a big tail.

"But you are right about one thing. After all, Cen Wenwen's qualifications are higher than yours, and the left servant seems to be slightly older than the right servant. Tell me, how do you compete with him for this right?"

Qin Hao was taken aback. He had indeed thought about this question today, but his mind was full of Cen Wenwen's death first. The Zhongshuling would belong to him sooner or later. He is more than ten years younger, but he knows who will die first, others don't.

"This draft edict is your chance. As long as you are in charge of this draft edict, it will be a matter of course if you want to overwhelm him in the future. The saint and I both want you to replace me as the Zhongshu order. You have to show us your courage. To be prime minister, sometimes you don't need to be smart, but you must have the courage to make a final decision. You dare to break Hou Junji's legs. Are you really afraid of offending others? Who is the sage in his heart, who will be refuted by Wei Zheng, can't you guess? You, the relationship with the crown prince is really too close. How many prime ministers have been involved in this kind of national dispute? What happened this time might be an opportunity for you and him to redefine your relationship."

Fang Xuanling's words were shocking and enlightening to Qin Hao, and sometimes he was in the middle of the game and really couldn't see through the doorway.

If he does not dare to stand up this time, I am afraid that even if Cen Wenben is dead, Zhongshuling will not be able to turn himself in. Zhongshuling, this is the position of the head of all officials, except for the left and right servants who were slightly inferior to Shangshusheng in the Zhenguan Dynasty. Apart from shooting, in the entire Tang Dynasty, one person is under one person and above ten thousand people. If this position does not dare to offend the prince, then does this world belong to the emperor or the prince?
This is probably not just an opportunity, but more of a test.

"Thank you, Fang Xiang, for your lesson today. This junior understands what to do."
