Chapter 862 The Prime Minister is the Pot King
Fang Xuanling said helplessly: "The old man decided to come to you after much deliberation. Leng Feng, although you are in the army of generals, you have a good relationship with both civil servants and generals, especially since you are a prime minister. It can be said that besides the old man, you are the most suitable person to be a prime minister."

"No, wait a minute, Prime Minister Fang, why do I hear that you have the intention of resigning?"

It was better if Fang Xuanling refused to explain, but Leng Feng became even more confused when he explained.

Why did this guy find him to succeed the prime minister?

Fang Xuanling sighed, "That's right, the old man has the idea of ​​resigning. To be honest, the old man feels powerless to deal with official documents now, especially when he needs to stay up all night. Going to bed still does not delay going to court. However, now that the old man sleeps a little later, he will feel dizzy the next day.

The old man asked Daoist Sun, and Daoist Sun said, if I persist like this, it will only waste my vitality.The old man is no longer suitable to be the prime minister, so naturally he has to consider the candidate for his successor.Although the next appointment is directly appointed by His Majesty, the old man's decision can influence His Majesty's choice to a certain extent.

After much deliberation these days, only you are the most suitable to be the next prime minister.First of all, you have a good relationship with civil and military generals.As a prime minister, the first task is to adjust the relationship between the emperor and the officials.Secondly, you are the prince's master. After the prince succeeds to the throne, you can still be the prime minister for a while, wouldn't it be great? "

After finishing speaking, Fang Xuanling looked at Leng Feng expectantly.

Leng Feng shook his head again and again: "How is it possible, Fang Xiang, you still don't know me? It's okay for you to ask me to make suggestions in the back, especially the strategy of taking an unusual path, but you let me be a serious official, I can't Done."

Fang Xuanling laughed and said: "Fart, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, are you not very good? On weekdays, civilian officials serve as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the generals do not listen to the arrangement at all, and even often conflict. Since you became the Minister of the Ministry of War, even the most capable Cheng Yaojin, who is tossing around, is very honest, and he has no objection to reducing the number of Youwuwei's soldiers."

Leng Feng scratched his head, Fang Xuanling's thoughts really made his scalp tingle.He never thought that there would be a day when Fang Xuanling came to make him the prime minister.

"Du Ruhui is also getting old, so let's leave him out. Isn't Changsun Wuji not good? And Chu Suiliang, he also has the potential to be a prime minister."

Fang Xuanling shook his head: "No, which dynasty do you think would allow a relative to sit in the position of prime minister? A Shangshu is already the pinnacle of Changsun Wuji. No matter how high he is, his family will inevitably be suppressed again. As for Chu Suiliang, Leng Feng, don't tell me you don't know, this guy has already become a community of interests with Changsun Wuji. The two people who advance and retreat together, you let Chu Suiliang be the prime minister, what is the difference from Changsun Wuji being the prime minister? ?”

Leng Feng sighed: "Master Fang, let me just say it straight. With my status as Master Chengqian, it is my best choice to retire when Chengqian succeeds the emperor. It is really not good for you to find me." suitable."

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "For the time being, I can't find a more suitable candidate than you to be prime minister. If you have a suitable candidate, I won't be able to pester you."

Seeing Leng Feng's reaction, Fang Xuanling understood that this guy just wanted to spend his days leisurely, and being a minister of the Ministry of War was already his biggest compromise to the court, if he went any further, he would not agree.

Li Tai couldn't help interjecting: "This king thinks that Di Renjie is very suitable. He and Brother Huang are senior brothers, and they have a good relationship."

Fang Xuanling sighed: "Di Renjie is indeed talented as a prime minister, but his qualifications are insufficient. He may be the candidate for the next prime minister, but now he absolutely cannot."

The 16-year-old Shaoqing of Dali Temple is already terrifying, how can he be made a prime minister?
With his qualifications, it is impossible to convince the public.

After answering Li Tai's suggestion, Fang Xuanling looked at Leng Feng with a smile: "Just admit it, for the stability of the court, you are the most suitable to be the next prime minister."

In Chaotang, a place with dark tides and turbulent waves, if there is no sea-fixing needle, God knows what kind of storms will be caused.

Now there is no strong enemy outside the Tang Dynasty, and it is powerful all over the world.The court unites as one when the regime is difficult, and internal fighting has become a common practice when it is stable, and that dynasty cannot avoid it.

But now, Fang Xuanling felt that Leng Feng was very suitable to be this sea-fixing needle.

Seeing the master's embarrassment, Li Tai couldn't help but said: "Mr. Fang, I think Zhongshu Ling Yang Shidao is also very suitable."

Hearing Li Tai's reminder, Leng Feng immediately reacted.

Zhongshu Ling Yang Shidao's nature is not bad, and his qualifications and prestige are sufficient, so he is indeed suitable to be a prime minister.

Fang Xuanling frowned and said, "It's not that I haven't thought about Yang Shidao, but he is the heir of Guan Wang of the previous dynasty. Although the official's resume is no longer traceable to the previous dynasty, it would be a mistake to let him be the prime minister. appropriate."

Li Tai said leisurely: "If it was the reign of Wude or the early years of Zhenguan, what you said would be more or less the same. However, it has been 20 years of Zhenguan now, the influence of the previous dynasty should have dissipated long ago, right?"

Leng Feng also said: "Yang Shidao is quite suitable. He is not young anymore. With him as a buffer zone, the next generation of graduates from the Academy of Arts will almost occupy important positions in the imperial court. Among other things, Zheng Cheng, Wang Xuance and others , but they all have the talents of prime ministers."

Picking up the next paper, Fang Xuanling said helplessly: "I finally understand, you just don't want to let the business burden yourself! Forget it, when the old man is about to retire, let His Majesty consider Yang Shidao! "

Seeing that Fang Xuanling had changed his mind, Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the prime minister is majestic, it is not an exaggeration to say that he stomped his feet and trembled all over the world in the court hall.However, Jae Sang is also the pot king.

Between the emperor and all civil and military officials, no matter which party has a major fault, the prime minister is generally responsible.

Although Zhenguan's court was stable, Fang Xuanling's salary was deducted several times.

What's more, Leng Feng was really not interested in the Prime Minister.When Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne, he is ready to retire.

Even if the Leng family does not occupy an official position in the court, they can still stand tall in the world.

With the addition of Fang Xuanling, the grading speed of the paper was much faster.

In just two and a half days, the three of them finished grading all the papers of this year's graduates.

After scoring "93 points" for the last paper, Fang Xuanling stretched his waist: "Finally, the grades are finished. This year's graduates really shocked me!"
