Datang Longya

Chapter 935 The Second Floor of Lingyan Pavilion
The fourth is Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng.

Although Wei Zheng was only a speech official, in the past 20 years, he strongly remonstrated with the emperor, impeached hundreds of officials, and became a model of incorruptibility, which greatly helped the development of Tang Dynasty.

The fifth is Liang Guogong Fang Xuanling.

To be honest, it is a pity that Fang Xuanling was ranked fifth.As a "Fang Mou", he has made a lot of contributions to Datang, but because most of the time he just moves his mouth but doesn't move his legs, his actual contribution is still a bit dim compared with Du Ruhui and others.

The sixth is Gao Shilian, the late Shen Guogong, uncle of Empress Changsun.

In the 21st year of Zhenguan, when Gao Shilian died of illness, Li Shimin commented that he "dabbles in ancient and modern times, has a clear mind, does not change his integrity in the face of difficulties, has no cronies in office, and advises those who are lacking." No one in the Manchu Dynasty objected.It can be seen that his achievements are indeed convincing.

The seventh is Yu Chi Jingde, Duke of E.

As Li Shimin's closest general and the most foolish and loyal one, Li Shimin did not hide his love for him, and even gave him the highest ranking in Lingyan Pavilion as much as possible.

Li Jing, the eighth Duke of Wei, and Xiao Yu, the ninth Duke of the Song Dynasty
Except for the first ten, there is no need to worry about sorting the rest, so it is no big deal that the No. 20 four are the late Hu Guogong Qin Qiong.

What the ministers are concerned about is not this, what they care about is that from the very beginning, they did not hear the name of Lord Protector.

It stands to reason that although Hu Guogong did not experience the world war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was the one who contributed the most to the construction of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Why didn't he even make the top ten?
There are a total of 36 meritorious officials in Lingyan Pavilion, implying the number of Tiangang. The emperor has already selected the first 26 candidates, and 24 have been announced so far.All kinds of conditions add up, and the answer is ready to come out.The remaining two established candidates should be the Duke Protector and another lucky one who doesn't know who it is.

but
This is too much!Although I feel that it is a bit hypocritical to hold the injustice for the protector, many officials already feel that the protector is at a loss.

Leng Feng didn't feel much. In his impression, Li Shimin built Lingyan Pavilion more for reminiscence.As for him, he only appeared in the ninth year of Wude. Unlike others, he did not experience the troubled times of the end of Sui Dynasty with Li Shimin, and it was okay to rank lower.

The eunuch who read the ranking just stopped when he read No. 20 four, obviously he didn't mean to read No. 20 five.

Yan Xiangshi couldn't sit still anymore, he got up and said: "Your Majesty, I am confused, why is there no Duke Protector among the first 24 people?"

Li Shimin laughed loudly, but he ignored Yan Xiangshi's question, and looked at Leng Feng who was leaning on the pillar, who was slightly sleepy: "How about it, Duke Hu, are you surprised?"

Li Shimin's words made Leng Feng wake up a little bit. There was no way, the eunuch who read the rankings and comments had a soft voice, as if it had a hypnotic special effect. In addition, he and Xiaocai were a little late last night, it was inevitable. I'm sleepy.

Rubbing his eyes, Leng Feng said nonchalantly: "It's none of my business if you build your Lingyan Pavilion? It's your right to give a seat or not. Even without me, I don't have anything to care about. Ranking in Lingyan Pavilion, you No bounties are given."

The ministers couldn't help sniggering, Duke Hu really doesn't care about Lingyan Pavilion's ranking!Seeing the smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, they had already guessed it. In the end, the emperor wanted to tease Duke Hu, but he punched cotton.

Li Shimin blinked his eyes and said depressedly: "It's boring, it's boring."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to signal the eunuch to continue reading.

"Above the first floor of Lingyan Pavilion, there is another floor. There are two people in total. One of them is Leng Feng, the Duke of Huguo. , drove Tubo and the Western Regions to the west, made great military exploits and had a school of literature, opened up our education in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and provided us with talents that are not born in the world."

Hundreds of words in eloquence, counting all the things Leng Feng has done in these years.Even Leng Feng was a little surprised that he had done so many things in the more than 20 years since he arrived in Datang.

After talking about Leng Feng, the eunuch announced another candidate on the second floor.

This is Zhang Zhongqing's introduction to Jinglei Division with the surname Zhang.Because Jinglei Division is a key department, even Lingyan Pavilion did not record Zhang Zhongqing's real name. Perhaps, his name will only be announced after Zhang Zhongqing completely retires, or even hiccups.

Nearly ninety-nine percent of the courtiers were puzzled by this mysterious person surnamed Zhang.But the small group of people who knew the truth all nodded in approval.

The meritorious deeds of Leng Feng, Lord Protector, were indeed formidable, but Zhang Zhongqing, the chief of Jinglei, was not bad at all.Although he seldom went out of the secret place, and almost never actually went to the battlefield, he risked his life time and time again to research the gunpowder weapons used by the Tang army.

Although the gunpowder was developed by Duke Hu Guo, it was Zhang Zhongqing who studied it to the present level.It can be said that Zhang Zhongqing has a share of every glory in the hands of soldiers who use gunpowder weapons in the frontier army.

After the list is announced, today's meeting is considered to be over.

Li Shimin stood up lazily, but did not say to retreat: "My dear friends, although there are only two people on the second floor of Lingyan Pavilion, I didn't say that there is no third or fourth place. I don't need to repeat the reasoning. .”

After speaking, Li Shimin left.

Although the news released by the emperor was explosive, the response was not as good as before.

Regarding this news, the courtiers smiled wryly and shook their heads.

People are more valuable in having self-knowledge.

Is it so easy to go up to the second floor of Lingyan Pavilion?Regardless of the desperation of the Duke Protector, or the mysterious Jingleisi Zhang, they have no confidence in being able to compare.

The emperor showed a possibility with his own hands, but cruelly hung it at a daunting height. The people below didn't even have the thought of jumping to see if they could get it.

Yan Xiangshi gave a wry smile, walked up to Leng Feng first and cupped his hands: "Guo Hugong, congratulations, the second floor of Lingyan Pavilion, this is an honor worthy of being famous in history!"

Under the leadership of Yan Xiangshi, all the officials did not leave directly, but gathered together to congratulate Leng Feng.

Normally, in this case, they don't need to know the various departments, and they don't need to rush home for dinner. For lunch, Duke Hu has to arrange it anyway, doesn't he?
Facing the congratulations, Leng Feng cupped his hands and responded one by one.

After the chaotic congratulations passed, Leng Feng said helplessly: "According to the usual practice, today should be the day when I bleed heavily, but I already have an appointment, no matter what it is for, I shouldn't miss the appointment. Colleagues, for celebration, Why don't we change it to the time when we are resting, and then we won't be able to return home drunk!"
