Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 693 Yang Ze's new official entry (please subscribe!)

Seeing the twittering in the hall, Tang Yizhi waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.

Then he looked at Yang Feng and said, "Prime Minister Yang, don't underestimate yourself. As many adults said just now, Prime Minister Yang doesn't look old. How can he resign at this time? Tang still needs you very much!"

Tang Yizhi's words had already set the tone for this matter. Everyone believed that Yang Feng would stay in this position for a long time unless it was absolutely necessary!
Hearing this, Yang Feng didn't say any more, but bowed to Tang Yizhi again, and then stepped back.

At this time, Tang Yizhi looked at Bai Jianfu.

"As for Mrs. Bai, I worked so hard for Datang back then, if I suddenly step down now, I really can't bear it!"

Tang Yizhi spoke with a sad expression on his face.

However, Bai Jianfu seemed to have made up his mind, and immediately replied: "Thank you for your kindness, but what the old minister said is true!

His Majesty also knows that the old minister has been in his position for many years, and he has a deep affection for the position of Taifu. If the old minister is not too old and feels that he is already powerless, no matter what he says, he will not resign voluntarily! "

After Bai Jianfu finished speaking, Tang Yizhi didn't speak immediately, but fell into deep thought.

At this time, the following chattered again.

"Bai Taifu has been an official for more than 40 years, and he has dedicated himself to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Yes, Taifu Bai has lived like a day for 40 years, it is the great fortune of Tang Dynasty!"

"It would be a pity if Taifu Bai no longer holds the post of Taifu—but, if Taifu Bai resigns, who should take up the post of Taifu?"

The people in the court said everything there, but looking around, the people who spoke were all civil servants, and they were all young people.

None of the real big guys moved their mouths, and the people in the general camp, headed by Mo Guogong, didn't move at all.

It turns out that there is an unwritten rule in the Tang Dynasty. Regarding the appointment of personnel in the court, people from the civilian camp generally involve people from the military camp. People from the military camp will not intervene. meddle.

As the saying goes, river water does not violate river water.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

At this moment, a loud voice came over, and the speaker was Jia Zhengjing, a great scholar at the court.

After getting Tang Yizhi's permission, Jia Zhengjing said eloquently: "Your Majesty, I feel extremely uncomfortable when I hear what Grand Tutor Bai said just now about dismissing the post of Grand Tutor. After all, even if the humble minister enters the palace, Having been an official for more than [-] years, Mr. Bai watched him grow up little by little!
There are many people like Weichen, and we all have great reluctance and care for Bai Taifu! "

What Jia Zhengjing said was emotional and sincere, but Mo Guogong on the side curled his lips when he heard it: Do you think we are all stupid?

If Bai Jianfu was really as good as Jia Zhengjing said, why didn't anyone come forward to dissuade Bai Jianfu when he said he was going to resign just now, instead they all went to comfort Yang Feng?
It can be seen from this that these people are just talking, and that they really have feelings for Bai Jianfu are just nonsense!

Jia Zhengjing took a breath, and continued: "Even though I am reluctant to part with Mrs. Bai, sometimes I have to bow my head to the years! Mrs. Bai is indeed old. If Mrs. Bai continues to be an official, I am afraid that Mrs. Bai Taifu feels tired!
Therefore, Weichen feels that there is nothing wrong with Bai Taifu's request, and after Bai Taifu retires, he can enjoy a more comfortable and relaxed life, and Bai Taifu will definitely be more satisfied! "

After Jia Zhengjing finished speaking, all the civil servants fell silent.

They thought about what Jia Zhengjing said just now, and it seemed to make sense!

If he was really kind to Bai Jianfu, it would be better to just fulfill him and let him retire!
Tang Yizhi looked at Bai Jianfu as if after deliberation and a period of handover between heaven and man, and said, "Teacher Bai, have you really decided?"

Taifu Bai nodded to Tang Yizhi, then bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! I have already made a decision!"

Tang Yizhi said again: "Although I am very reluctant to part with Mrs. Bai, but as Mrs. Bai said, if Mrs. Bai continues to be an official, I will be too tired to Mrs. Bai, so let Mrs. Bai rest. Take a break!"

These words undoubtedly agreed to Bai Jianfu's application for resignation.

When Tang Yizhi's words came out, everyone began to think again, Bai Jianfu had retired, who should take his place?
However, as ministers, they naturally couldn't ask at this time, but had to wait for Tang Yizhi to speak.

Sure enough, Tang Yizhi thought for a moment, and then asked Bai Jianfu, "Teacher Bai, since you resigned, the position of Grand Tutor will be vacant. I wonder if you have anyone to recommend?"

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, I have often felt that the Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty for young people. Old officials like me are no longer suitable to continue to be officials. The court should be younger, so I hope to succeed you. The position of minister is a young talent!"

Bai Jianfu didn't name him directly, but said that he hoped a young man would take his place.

All the ministers fell into deep thought after hearing this, who should be the young talent?

You know, none of the people who can stand here in the early court are young, at least they have passed their forties, with only two exceptions, that is Mo Xie and Tang Yizhi himself.

At this time, Jia Zhengjing, who had spoken just now, stood up again.

"Your Majesty, I have someone to choose, I don't know whether to speak or not."

"Since Jia Aiqing has someone to choose, it's okay to say it!"

As soon as Tang Yizhi finished speaking, Jia Zhengjing took it up and said, "Yang Zexin, the grandson of Prime Minister Yang, is a leader among the younger generation in Jingzhou. He is proficient in all aspects of literature and military strategy, and he is really a rare talent!

Moreover, Yang Zexin comes from the family of Prime Minister Yang, which can be described as a scholarly family, and the inheritance is just right!Wei Chen thought that if Yang Zexin could take over the position of Taifu Bai, it would be great! "

"Your Majesty can't!"

At this time, Mo Guogong, who had not spoken all this time, could not sit still.

He has always disliked Yang Zexin, especially during the many encounters with Zhang Twelve before, Yang Zexin had a bad nose, and in the end he was punished by the late emperor as "not being able to become an official forever". How can he be made an official now? , and still be such a high official position as Taifu?

"Your Majesty, at the beginning, the late emperor said that Yang Zexin would not be able to become an official forever. Now it seems inappropriate to let him be an official at this juncture, right?"

Duke Mo expressed his thoughts, but Tang Yizhi didn't answer, so Jia Zhengjing said: "Mr. Mo's worries are superfluous!
Why did the first emperor make such punishments?Wasn't it because of the killing of King Xiang that he blamed Yang Zexin?But after such a long time, we all know that the killing of King Xiang had nothing to do with Yang Zexin, and the punishment he received was nothing more than a random disaster! "

After Jia Zhengjing finished speaking, the ministers in the civil service camp immediately echoed what he said, as if they had made a deal.

In their view, among the younger generation, only the young Yang Zexin can take on the position of Taifu.

Mo Guogong wanted to refute, but in the current situation, what Jia Zhengjing said seemed to be correct. He thought for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yang is already in an important position. It's so unbalanced!"

Duke Mo's worries were not unfounded. After all, the biggest official positions among civil servants were Taifu and Prime Minister, and it would be unreasonable for both of these two official positions to be taken down by the Yang family!

At this time, Yang Feng stood up again.

"Your Majesty, I have always felt that the functions of the Taifu and the Prime Minister overlap somewhat. It is a bit wasteful to set up two such similar official positions in the court! Therefore, I think that the positions of the Taifu and the Prime Minister can be chosen, and the other should be abolished." That's it!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent instantly.

Everyone in the court knew what Yang Feng said, but no one dared to say it directly!
The matters in charge of the Tai Tuo and the Prime Minister are vague and confusing. As Yang Feng said, because the two people have no clear boundaries in the affairs under their jurisdiction, they can ask Yang Feng or Bai Jianfu for some matters!

But because Yang Feng is a few years younger than Bai Jianfu, and because Yang Feng's subordinates are all over the court and the public, even though the two have the same official positions, all the people in the civil official camp will think of Yang Feng the first time they have something to do. .

That's why everyone felt sorry for Yang Feng's resignation just now, but they didn't have much regret for Bai Jianfu's resignation!
So many people think that it is enough to choose one of the positions of Prime Minister and Taifu. As for which one to go to, it is obvious that most people are inclined to abolish the Taifu!

It's just that if Yang Feng said it, would Bai Jianfu be happy?
Surprisingly, Bai Jianfu was not surprised or angry at all, but continued following Yang Feng's words: "The old minister very much agrees with what Prime Minister Yang said, and only one of the positions of Taifu and Prime Minister is reserved." Yes! But the old minister is more inclined to keep the prime minister!"

After Bai Jianfu finished speaking, everyone gave him admiring looks!
Bai Jianfu's deep understanding of righteousness is convincing, although he has resigned, but he has been a tutor for forty years, how can he not have feelings?

Now that he himself has said the matter of removing the Taifu, it is enough to see his mind!

........................

Seeing the humility and righteousness of the two leaders of the civil official camp, the officials in the civil official camp were not only moved, but also angry at the accusations made by Duke Mo just now!
Look, our two adults are so understanding of righteousness, your idea is clearly to measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!

So, someone said dissatisfiedly: "What Mo Guogong said just now is simply nonsense!"

"That's right, it's not Prime Minister Yang himself who proposed to make Yang Zexin an official, but Grand Tutor Bai. You can't blame Prime Minister Yang for this!"

"Isn't that right? Speaking of which, General Mo Xie is the son of Duke Mo. If it is according to what Duke Mo said, wouldn't it be unreasonable?"

It turned out that what these people were talking about was what Duke Mo Guogong had just reminded Tang Yizhi that if the Yang family produced a prime minister and a grand tutor, it would be a bit of a joke!
I never thought that these people would immediately use Mo Xie's official position to speak out.

Mo Xie is not a vegetarian either. When he saw someone talking about his father, he didn't want to. He stood up and said, "Are you still civil servants? Did you talk through your brain? My father is the Duke of the state, and I'm just a second-rank general. Is it comparable?

And the positions of Taifu and Prime Minister are both official positions of the first rank, can they be the same? "

What Mo Xie said was reasonable. After saying it, everyone really didn't find any point of refutation.

But at this moment, Bai Taifu ignored the words of Mo's father and son, but looked at Tang Yizhi and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has a proposal! Why don't you let Yang Zexin follow the old minister for a while, and let the old minister help him familiarize himself with the affairs of the court. .Although Prime Minister Yang is a few years younger than the old minister, he is no longer young. After a few months, let Yang Zexin be the prime minister!"

"Your Majesty, I agree!"

Yang Feng also said.

Everything is going according to Tang Yizhi's plan, and looking at the civil and military affairs of the court, at least the civil official camp has nothing to say. As for the general camp, who cares about their opinions?
He looked at Grand Master Mu who had been standing in the crowd without saying a word, and then asked, "Grand Master Mu, what advice do you have for this?"

Grand Master Mu said without hesitation, "Everything is up to His Majesty to decide!"

Grand Master Mu is not stupid, he has seen everything that happened in the court today, and he can naturally see that all of this was planned by these people. Even if he disagrees, there will be no problem with Yang Zexin entering the court. Change!

That being the case, there is no need for him to say any more objections, that would be of no benefit to the current Mu family other than attracting dislike!
"Okay, since Grand Master Mu has no objections, then it's settled! Don't resign the official position of Taifu Bai, and starting today, Yang Zexin will follow Taifu Bai for a while!
After Yang Zexin is familiar with everything in the court, Taifu Bai will step down with Prime Minister Yang and let Yang Zexin be the prime minister! "

"Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, the civil servant camp under the court immediately flattered.

Tang Yizhi smiled and said: "I still want to praise Taifu Bai and Prime Minister Yang again. The two ministers have worked hard for the great Tang society. Even if they are no longer officials, they still have to think about the great Tang!"

"Teacher Bai and Prime Minister Yang are righteous!"

The crowd immediately changed directions and began to flatter Yang Feng and Bai Jianfu.

On the other hand, Mo Xie curled his lips, and then sneered: These two old foxes have more schemes than anyone else, are they still righteous?

Hehe, it's ridiculous!
The abdication of Bai Jianfu and Yang Feng seemed to be a huge loss, but it brought the stability of Yang Zexin, the younger generation of the Yang family, in the court, and without any accidents, the Yang family will not have to worry about it in the next few decades!
More importantly, the Taifu is gone, only the prime minister is left, and the prime minister is equivalent to having two positions, and the power is much greater than before!

From this point of view, as long as Yang Zexin can successfully become an official, his power will be greater than that of Yang Feng, and the status of the Yang family will definitely rise. This is a great thing for the Yang family!
