Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 448 Lingyan Pavilion 24 ministers

After half a jar of wine, both Qin Hao and Li Chengqian had too much, and they were a little tongue-tied when talking to each other, and the two even sang a show with their scarlet lips.

Seeing that the wine had bottomed out and their minds were not so clear, the two looked at each other and smiled at each other. Neither of them said that there would be another pot, but Qin Hao patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and said: "Let's go, if one day the world restarts the national struggle, I will still be your brother. Even if one day you are to be deposed, I, Qin Hao, will definitely die before you, but before that, you are the crown prince, and I am the prince." The sage's servant, take care."

"Take care of yourself."

After all, Qin Hao stood up, staggered and left. Li Chengqian didn't arrange for anyone to see him off. He lay down on the bed, gave a wry smile, and fell asleep under the blanket.

Walking in the watery night, Qin Hao got on his horse, but he didn't raise his whip, just crawled on the horse's neck casually, letting the night wind blow the mane on the horse's neck, and then sweep it on his face, his mind couldn't stop thinking about various things.

I told Li Chengqian a lot of heartfelt things today, many of which are no longer what a courtier should say, but I don’t know how much he understands. In fact, the truth is not very profound, and he may not even know it himself. Things, it's so overwhelming that people don't have time to stop and think about the direction. Perhaps, this is called the authorities' obsession.

Woke up the next day, patted his still dizzy head, dressed up energetically, came to the Ganlu Palace, and formally took over the seal from Li Shimin. From then on, he became one of the real prime ministers of the empire.

On the first day he took office, he drafted the personnel arrangement in person, asked Li Shimin for his opinion, and got the door-down province in person, all the way through the green light. From then on, the Zhongshu province of Tang Dynasty officially entered the era of Qin Hao. , this day in history is also identified as the beginning of the Qin Xiang era.

Seven days later, Li Shimin visited Furong Garden. After Fang Xuanling heard about it, he smiled and asked his family to clean up the front of the courtyard. Sure enough, on the way back to the palace from Furong Garden, Li Shimin passed by Fang Xuanling's house and "passed by" to sit in it. , 'by the way' took Fang Xuanling to his own carriage, and 'by the way' took Fang Xuanling back to Tai Chi Palace.

As for Fang Xuanling, he went back to Shangshu Province to go to work "by the way". Everything was so logical, without the slightest disturbance. From the beginning to the end, no minister pleaded for him, and no minister expressed any concern for his return. Questioning, it's as if Fang Xuanling took a short vacation, and now that he has had enough rest, he returns to work.

The only small difference is that he seldom goes to the Zhongshu Province now, even when he was in the Shangshu Province, he listened more and talked less. He tried his best to organize things by Changsun Wuji, while he checked more legacy To make up for the omissions, more often, he would rather go to Tang Fed Reserve Bank to chat with Xiao Yu.

The old prime minister of the Wude period is still alive, the two of them pinched each other like bastards in the early years of Zhenguan, but in this dying year, only by each other's side can relax and drink Tea and chess.

Of course, it is said that the two still quarrel when chatting now, but they have never been involved in court affairs. Every time they would blush over trivial matters, the quarrel was in full swing, and the table was thrown and the plate was thrown. In the end, Fang Xuanling was ashamed. No matter how noisy the first day was, I was still willing to play with him when I turned around.

In his sixtieth year, Guotai is in good health. Everyone can see that he wants to retire.

The official retirement system in the Tang Dynasty was very inhumane. The average life expectancy was only over 50, but the legal age to become an official was 69. Therefore, most officials never enjoyed retirement benefits until their death. For example, Fang Xuan in history Age, just worked until [-] died, where can I go to reason.

The Tang Federal Reserve gave these veterans an ideal place to retire. In fact, not only Fang Xuanling, but also many older officials have this idea. Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Tang Jian all have this idea.

The rest of the old people, such as Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji, had just been arranged by Qin Hao to be the high officials of the frontier. The emperor was far away and there was no war, so it was a good place to retire.

After the fall, when the cool breeze blew up, Wei Zheng accidentally lay down too. Qin Hao got up after serving hard for more than a month, but his energy was actually a bit weak. There are more and more things to do here. Chu Suiliang, the servant of Huangmen, took care of it.

After Fang Xuanling half-retired, the difference between Qin Hao, the servant of Zhongshu and Zhongshu Ling, was not too much. Menxia Sheng's refutation, sometimes faced with Chu Suiliang and his two servants, they didn't love each other, but when Wei Zheng was there, he was too embarrassed to argue with reason, and Zhongshu Sheng was faintly suppressed by Menxia Sheng.

Everyone in the court could feel the atmosphere of a generation of newcomers replacing old ones, and the court was quietly slipping towards the 16th Spring Festival of Zhenguan.

After the new year, Wei Zheng's health got worse. Qin Hao had to support him every day when he held a meeting in the Political Affairs Hall. Qin Hao knew that what should happen would eventually happen. According to the historical process, Wei Zheng only had one year to live. Yes, under his persuasion, Wei Zheng finally handed in his resignation, intending to go to Tang Fed Reserve for retirement.

Fang Xuanling originally wanted to join in the fun, and wanted to resign Zhongshuling along with him, but it was a pity that Li Shimin would not allow it. After all, Qin Hao was still a little tender, and he needed a great god like him to shake him behind.

During the Chinese New Year, Li Shimin felt that the old and the new were changing. Looking at these people who were getting old, he thought of those who had died. With a thought, he ordered to build a small three-story attic, named Lingyan Pavilion, for Missing these old friends is a full year earlier than the original history.

Because history has been changed beyond recognition by Qin Hao, the ranking of Lingyan Pavilion this time is naturally different from the original.

The head of Lingyan Pavilion was originally given to Changsun Wuji, but in fact it was purely the result of Li Shimin's hard work, the purpose was to help him gain prestige and gradually squeeze out Fang Xuanling, and no matter how you look at it, it should be Fang Xuanling, who was placed first, was put in the No.5 position.

Now, Fang Xuanling is already semi-retired, no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is no need to use this method, so this time Li Shimin put him in the first position, Li Xiaogong is still second, and Changsun Wuji is in the second place. third.

The positions of the others have hardly changed, only Li Ji thinks that he is much ahead of his historical credit, but Qin Qiong, who was originally ranked No. Yan Liben looked confused.
