Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2302 Liu Ji's Chance

Fang Jun did not expect that after he won the position of Minister of the Ministry of War as he wished, he would have a windfall of "Prince Shao Bao".

Although this title gave him some psychological shadows, and he couldn't help but think of the powerful and overbearing Ao Shaobao, but the real honor and status made him unable to refuse.

Of course, even if you're happy in your heart, you can't smile brightly in front of civil and military officials in the hall and shout "I do"...

Reservation and humility are the virtues of China.

Just like an official resigning from office, if the official resigns, the emperor will say that the country relies on it and keep it, and the official insists that he will not hinder future generations. Spend old age.

Preferential treatment for old and useless officials reflects the emperor's gift; reluctance to leave the body without a vegetarian meal and retreat fully reflects the morality of officials.

The king treats his ministers with kindness, and the ministers serve the king with righteousness, greedy for rest, and let for what they do.

This is etiquette.

To become an official, you don't have to be reluctant to look at each other like you are when you become an official, but you must also know how to be reserved and modest. Therefore, Fang Jun stepped forward two steps quickly and declined: "How can I take on such an important task? Now everyone is full of people. , The sages are all gathered, looking at the court, they are all capable ministers and officials, and the qualifications of the humble ministers are still inexperienced, and they dare not overstep, I hope your majesty will think twice."

The ministers nodded slightly.

These words not only showed the virtue of humility, but also implicitly praised the court officials, who can be regarded as a man who can speak and do things.

His Majesty Li Er frowned, looked at Fang Jun with some impatience, and said casually: "Aiqing is young and handsome, and he is a pillar of the empire. Why should you be so arrogant? No one is born to be an official. You should be upright, stay up late, and take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War with your heart, so you don't have to shirk too much."

In his heart, he was already dissatisfied with the loss of control over suppressing Fang Jun. How could he have the patience to accompany Fang Jun in a scene in which a gentleman entrusts him with a heavy responsibility and his courtiers are honest and fearful?

You still secretly colluded with many ministers to give you a platform, and I also pinch my nose to admit it, so I will take office honestly, and don't mess with those crooked people...

Fang Jun still has the ability to observe his face. Seeing that His Majesty Li Er was displeased, he himself was impatient with such hypocritical dramas.

Clearly, my heart is full of joy, but I still have to put on an expression on my face that the burden is hard to bear and I refuse to accept it. Are you tired?

Then he saluted and said: "My minister thanked His Majesty for your trust, and also thanked all colleagues for their recommendation. I will never disappoint everyone's kindness. I will definitely face up to difficulties and work hard. I will manage the affairs of the Ministry of War in an orderly manner. The tiger of the Tang Dynasty has no worries about fighting for the country. He will do his best to strengthen the army, restrain himself and serve the public, and serve himself after death! He can also assist the prince with all his heart, sincerely and sincerely, and do his best!"

The eyelids of the ministers twitched, okay, this kid is really honest, he didn't even want to be modest, and directly issued a declaration of office...

His Majesty Li Er felt that this was very good, so he waved his hands and said, "Since you have such determination, I am very relieved, but although you have excellent abilities, you should still practice calmly, learn a lot from your seniors, ask for advice with an open mind, and don't be proud arrogant."

Fang Jun hurriedly said: "My minister obeys the order."

……

Today is not a court meeting, but a "gathering" where all the ministers gathered after His Majesty Li Er's "bizarre assassination".

However, it is obvious that after the "assassination" of His Majesty Li Er, his emotions were a little difficult to calm down, and he had a lot of thoughts. He planned to take advantage of today to sort out all the positions in the court.

It can also lay a solid foundation for the upcoming establishment of the Military Aircraft Department...

But the turning point is a bit big.

It was obviously to discuss whether Zhang Liang could succeed the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but he suddenly transferred to Fang Jun as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Fang Jun is the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and he deserves his name. Even the eldest grandson Wuji, who has always been at odds with him, kept a sullen face throughout the whole process and never expressed any objection.

As for the Crown Prince Shaobao, this is one of the officials of the East Palace. Strictly speaking, it is a matter of the emperor's family. Since the emperor prefers this, and Fang Jun and the prince are very close, others have no reason to object.

This is settled.

But I still have to go back and discuss Zhang Liang's question...

His Majesty Li Er didn't wait for the ministers to speak, picked up the words just now, and said: "Zhang Liang is a noble minister. He followed me in the South and North Wars. There are faults in all of them, but they have also received a lot of punishment. The so-called recognition of mistakes can make a big difference, this time, let him have a chance to reform himself."

The ministers were a little stunned.

The emperor obviously intends to support Zhang Liang...

Looking around in the crowd, Zhang Liang did not come today, perhaps because he has not received the news, or was delayed by something, but the emperor is so supportive, it is a bit unexpected.

Because no matter how you look at it, Zhang Liang doesn't seem to be a close minister of His Majesty Li Er...

Then, the emperor's move had ulterior motives.

The ministers were a little hesitant, not knowing whether they should continue to oppose Zhang Liang's appointment or whether they should conform to the emperor's wishes.

His Majesty Li Er said again: "In addition, I plan to make Cen Wenwen move to Zhongshu Ling, and Liu Ji will succeed him as a servant, and Xiao Yu will be named Sikong, Prince Taibao, and Li Ji will be Prince Zhanshi... Dear friends Sir, do you think so?"

He sat behind the court case, looked around with tiger eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If you have any objections, it's okay to speak up."

In the main hall, needles were quietly dropped, and no one made a sound.

This amount of information is really too big...

The center of the imperial court is the foundation of the empire, and a slight disturbance will cause the entire empire to be in turmoil.Therefore, even though officials are often promoted, demoted, dismissed, dismissed, etc., it is rare that so many positions are changed at one time.

Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, Yushi Zhongcheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Taifu, Taibao, Prince Zhanshi...

All of them are the top official positions in the empire, the pinnacle of ministers, the existence of tens of thousands of people under one person!
What is the emperor doing?
Unsure of the emperor's intentions, no one dares to speak lightly...

The hall was eerily quiet for a while.

In the crowd, Liu Ji's heart seemed to be about to pop out of his thin and thin chest, beating non-stop.

Sergeant!

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Shizhong was a casual position directly assigned by the emperor among the palace officials under the Shaofu; in the Western Han Dynasty, it was one of the additional officials besides regular official positions. suffer.After Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, his status gradually increased, and his rank surpassed that of the minister. Because he served the emperor, went in and out of the court, and heard about the government, he gradually became a trusted and valuable post.After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the servants often became the de facto prime ministers.Sui changed its name to Nayan because of taboo, also known as Shinei.Tang Fu said that being a high-ranking official under the sect is the post of prime minister.

This is the official position closest to the emperor, and the most noble and powerful, this is the prime minister!

Throughout the ages, dynasties have changed, and there are countless officials who can enter the center, but how many people can become the prime minister of a country?

Each of them is a great figure who is famous in history!

Power over the world, glory to the ancestors!
Liu Jie coveted the position of Zaifu countless times. After all, Yushi Zhongcheng is only one step away from Zaifu, but he never expected the surprise to come so suddenly.

He didn't understand His Majesty Li Er's intentions, but...don't care!

As long as he can become Zaifu, even if he dies tomorrow, his whole life will be worth it!Once able to stand at the highest point of the power center of the Tang Empire, in this life, what more can I ask for?

Liu Jie's heart was beating violently, his eyes were a little red, he subconsciously licked his dry lips, and took a sneak peek at the reactions of the ministers, his heart twitched again...

Obviously, His Majesty Li Er's sudden mention of such matters as being related to the appointment and removal of many central bosses must have a deeper intention.Before such intentions are clarified, no one dares to express their opinions lightly. In case their own interests are at stake, it will be too late to regret.

Liu Jie didn't want to wait any longer, the silence in the hall made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, he just wanted to settle this matter quickly, even if it was a flood, a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, that would be tomorrow's business!

But even if he was in a hurry, he couldn't jump out and agree to the appointment and dismissal of His Majesty Li Er.

After all, he was involved in these appointments and dismissals, so he had to avoid suspicion, just like Fang Jun just now, he had to be someone else who stood up to be abnormal, how could he brazenly shout "I will do what I do"?
It's too embarrassing...
