Chapter 1454 Yanying Hall
"President Qin, Liu Pushe died of illness."
Yangzhou, Zhongshu's assistant minister who is still in charge of Jiangnan's aftermath affairs, Qin Xiaozhong, the third rank of Tongzhongshu's sect, is immersed in official duties, Li Siwen, the inspector of Yangzhou Prefecture, came in and said.
Qin Xiaozhong raised his head and stopped what he was doing.
"The Tang Dynasty has lost another kingdom!"
Liu Rengui is a well-known general capable of writing and martial arts in the court, and he can be regarded as a veteran of the Six Dynasties. He was born in the Liu family in Weishi County, Bianzhou, Henan. very similar.
Little lonely and poor, but positive, respectful and eager to learn. Later, during the Wude Dynasty, Henan appeasement ambassador Ren Gui lived in Henan and drafted memorials to discuss state affairs. After seeing it, Liu Rengui, a local official, revised a few sentences for Ren Gui, but made the article very good. Ren Gui was very surprised when he found out , So with the privilege of appeasing the ambassador, he was exceptionally promoted to join the army in Xizhou.
Afterwards, Liu Rengui formally entered his official career and served under Li Ji, the general manager of Bingzhou. After the Xuanwumen Incident, the Turkic Jieli Khan invaded southward on a large scale, drinking horses along the Weishui River. Li Shimin left a good impression in front of him.
Since then, his official career has been smooth, but later when Liu Rengui was transferred to Chencang county captain, he killed the local arrogant and lawless captain Zhechong. Kill me as the captain of the fourth grade Zhechong.
Later, Qin Lang pleaded for him in front of the emperor, saying that he was upright and upright, and that he was upholding the law and order of the court. Later, when Qin Lang made his southern tour, he specially transferred Liu Rengui to serve in his shogunate.
Later, Liu Rengui stayed in the Korean peninsula for more than ten years, and accumulated a lot of military merits as the governor of the state, the chief governor of the governor, the governor, and even the economic envoy.
"Liu Gong is resolute and upright, dares to speak out, and is both civil and military. He has been in charge of the two prefectures for more than ten years."
Li Siwen said, "After all, Liu Pushe is ninety-four years old, and it is rare in the two mansions."
In terms of seniority, Li Siwen is Qin Xiaozhong's uncle, but in terms of publicity, Qin Lang personally wrote to the court to plead Li Siwen's guilt, and also succeeded in allowing Li Siwen to inherit the British dukedom and world title, which made him look younger Re-inspect the governor of Yangzhou, but now Qin Xiaozhong is the prime minister and the Jiangnan propaganda ambassador, so the public Li Siwen is still the subordinate of his wife and nephew Qin Xiaozhong.
"I received a letter from my uncle, saying that the imperial court intends to ask Prime Minister Qin to return to serve as the right servant."
Among the seven prime ministers in the Zhengshitang, Qin Xiaozhong is only the Minister of Zhongshu, ranking behind the four chiefs of the three provinces. Liu Rengui died of illness at the age of ninety-four and was appointed by Zuo Pushe. Of course, Qin Xiaozhong is qualified to go further.
Although he just came back from the Western Regions this year to serve as the prime minister of the Zhengshitang, he is not bad in terms of qualifications, achievements and abilities, not to mention that he quickly quelled the rebellion in the three states of Yangrun and Chu.
You Servant Cen Changqian is further promoted to Left Servant, and it is reasonable for Qin Xiaozhong to be promoted to Right Servant. Although the Minister of Zhongshu is also an important minister of the Central Committee, after all, there is a Zhongshu Ling above, and there is also a Minister of Zhongshu who has not entered the Zhengshitang, so Qin Xiaozhong's current Zhongshu Minister is definitely not as good as the right servant who entered the Zhengshitang.
Qin Xiaozhong is of course willing to go a step further, anyway, the further step is just to shoot from the right servant, and the Zhengshitang is ranked fourth, and he is not a Zhongshu Ling or a servant, so there is no need to avoid it for a while.
"There are still many things that have not been dealt with in Jiangnan."
"The rebellion has been quelled, and the next thing is to deal with the aftermath. I believe that the imperial court will issue an edict soon to call Prime Minister Qin back to the court." Li Siwen said with certainty, after all, he also stayed in the Privy Council. After many years, he even entered the Zhengshitang as a servant of the Huangmen. Although it was only a temporary transition to fill the position at that time, he was a prime minister for two years anyway.
If it weren't for the nephew's rebellion and other terrible things, he wouldn't have to be old enough to come out of the mountain again to be the governor of Yangzhou.
A few days later, an envoy came from Luoyang.
The emperor's imperial edict was read out, and the imperial court pardoned most of the people involved in the rebellion in the three states, and even reduced a lot of taxes in the three states this year.
The imperial court ordered Qin Xiaozhong to enter Beijing, and Jin Shangshu's right servant shot.
Li Siwen, Jiangnan propaganda ambassador, and governor of Yangzhou.
"Congratulations Dalang!" Li Siwen smiled and congratulated, Qin Xiaozhong was mentally prepared in advance, so he was quite calm.
Pack up your things and return to Luoyang with the envoy.
Going back to Luoyang by boat along the canal was smooth sailing, but just after entering Luoyang, I found out that Cheng Ting, who signed the Privy Council affairs, also died of illness.
This is the son of Cheng Mingzhen, a general in the early days of the country, and he has a good relationship with the Qin family.
"The sage sent envoys to Hezhong to invite Jiedu envoy Li Xiu to return to the court and sign the Privy Council affairs."
Li Xiu, the Duke of Yan, is the son of Li Jinxing, a member of the Mohe tribe. His father, Li Jinxing, was called Qin Lang's uncle. In fact, Li Jinxing was much older than Qin Lang. mad.
But this does not prevent the two from not knowing each other, and later became close. When Sima Qin Gui of Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion led his troops to attack Congling, Li Xiu was the governor of Shule, and later he was in the Western Regions for a long time.
The first-ranked Dazhen Jieshuai in the thirteen festivals of the Tang Dynasty.
The vacancy left by him when he enters the court to take over the task is also very reasonable.
"Because Li Shuai entered the court, so now King Wei and the others have recommended Hei Chi Changzhi directly as Hezhong Jiedu envoy, and Wei Yuanzhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, appointed Zhongshu Shilang, and Tong Zhongshu's third rank, and joined the political affairs hall."
Hei Chi Changzhi was originally going to be the deputy envoy of Jiedu, but now he has completed it in one step. Wei Yuanzhong Xiang has the reputation of being a soldier, and this time he will take over the position left by Qin Xiaozhong.
After Qin Xiaozhong returned to Luoyang, he immediately entered the palace to thank him.
"Signed with the Privy Council, Peng Guogong Liu Shenli died of illness!"
Another Shuai Chen died of illness.
Emperor held a joint meeting of the two governments in Yanying Hall.
Liu Shenli is also nearly ninety years old, and his qualifications in the Privy Council are very old. He is only behind the first officer, third deputy and fourth commander, and ahead of Wang Xiaojie, Gao Xianzhi and others.
In the Hall of Yanying.
The young emperor Li Hao was a bit haggard. He had just succeeded to the throne for only a few months, so many things happened. It's daytime.
The people involved were in panic, and many bad rumors spread.
"Everyone thinks, should another Marshal be summoned to Beijing to be promoted to the Privy Council?"
Since Emperor Zhongzong Li Ye's reign, the imperial court retained the Privy Council because of the suggestion of Grand Master Qin Lang, but the distinction between civil and military affairs was no longer so clear.
The prime ministers of the Zhengshitang are given the title of third-rank under Zhongshumen, while the ruling of the Privy Council is routinely given the title of Chanzhi. Major military affairs, civil and military affairs of the court are generally discussed by the joint meeting of the two governments.
This has formed the current situation where the two prime ministers are in power together. The prime minister can talk about military affairs, and can also participate in decision-making when in power.
It's just that each has its own focus, and the status of the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall is also higher than that of the Privy Council.
The Privy Council generally has seven to nine members, with one official and two deputy ministers as permanent civil servants, often served by the prime minister of the Zhengshitang, and usually the privy envoy or deputy envoy by Zhongshu Shilang, Menxia Shilang, or the Minister of Officials.
For example, Qin Xiaozhong was originally the prime minister of Zhengshitang and the minister of Zhongshu. If the privy envoy or deputy envoy is vacant, he can take up the post.
There are only four to six generals in the Privy Council, and basically all of them have to be promoted by the Thirteenth Jiedushi.
Now the Privy Council has just replaced Li Xiu, but Liu Shenli is missing. There are only seven people. The court can make up two Jiedu envoys to the Privy Council, or not.
After Li Xiu, the Jiedu envoy of Hezhong, enters the Privy Council, if one or two more Jieshuais are promoted to the Privy Council, according to the current qualifications and achievements of the Jieshuai in each town, the two most qualified to enter the Privy Council will be the two Qin family festivals. Shuai, Qin Lang's sixth Qin Yandao, is currently the Jiedu Envoy of the Yunnan and Yue Dao. Over a dozen small feudal states in East Tianzhu.
After the Tubo rebellion broke out on the plateau last year, they immediately led the Yunnan-Vietnamese army across the plateau to the north, quickly put down the Tubo rebellion in the U-Tsang area, and quickly suppressed some plateau tribes who responded in Xichangdao.
No matter in terms of age, qualifications, achievements, or even family background, Qin Yandao is enough to be promoted to the center. Qin Yandao, who is 68 years old, is in good health, and he is not too old. Anyway, Liu Rengui was worshiped as a leftist at the age of 94. Shot.
In addition to Qin Yandao, the governor of Yunnan and Yue, there is another person who is most qualified to be promoted to the Shufu, the governor of North Korea, Qin Xia Qin Shisanlang.
This Qin Xiaozhong's thirteenth uncle was chivalrous since he was a child, and he was also a thorn in his youth. Later, he went to stay in Jubei Port, the Protectorate of Heishui for a few years. The Heishui River went up and went deep into the interior, and a dozen large and small fortresses were established along the Heishui River, and a post route was built to reach the Xianbei Duhu Mansion in the upper reaches of the Heishui River. friendship.
Among Qin Lang's disciples, besides Qin Jun, Qin Shisan is the best at fighting.
Ten years ago, he took over the position of the governor of North Korea, and he wiped out the rebellion of Goguryeo and the rebels of the Three Hans who had raised their heads. In the Qing Dynasty, more than 300,000 rebels were searched and captured by the Qing Dynasty, including Sanhan people, Goguryeo people, and some Mohe people.
All these people were sold into slavery by Qin Xia, and all of them were transported away by the slave merchants.
Even some local tyrants and aristocrats who failed in the domestic struggle of Japan went to sea to be Japanese pirates, and sometimes went to North Korea to rob. This kind of thing cannot be blamed on the country of Japan, after all, they are also enemies of the court of the country of Japan.
But Qin Xia didn't care about these things, and didn't care that the Wa Kingdom had a very good relationship with the Lu Song Qin family these years, so he directly led his soldiers to kill the Japanese pirates' hometown.
But Qin Xia didn’t care about the grievances of the Japanese pirates, as long as he was asked to find out the identity of the Japanese pirates, he would go directly to the opponent’s hometown.
After doing this a few times, the Japanese pirates no longer dared to go to the coast of North Korea to plunder, and even the King of Japan specially spent a sum of money to order some ships from Luzon urgently, and was responsible for sweeping up these pirates, especially the pirates. They can't be allowed to go to North Korea to rob. They would rather not be harassed by robbing Japan's own coastline than to mess with Qin Shisan.
Such a ruthless person is about the same age as Qin Liulang and Qin Yandao. These two uncles and nephews, one is tossing hard in East Tianzhu, and the other is chasing around in North Korea, and they are also known as the Shuangsha of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, both of these two people have a common problem, that is, they do not follow the rules. For example, both of them secretly engage in smuggling, making private money, and even trafficking people. Incidents, even plundering other people's population, robbing other countries.
Especially Qin Shisan, after having nothing to do in North Korea’s main town, he often went to the Wa country for a while, and often went to the Bohai Governor’s Mansion to find trouble with the Mohe people, and acted recklessly.
Many barbarians who were imprisoned by the imperial court often went to the Luoyang imperial court to cry.
But the imperial court is not too harsh on these two guys. After all, they have special identities. One is Qin Lang's brother and the other is Qin Lang's son. On the other hand, the two guard the border and do a good job.
They guarded the two towns of Dianyue and North Korea.
The two don't eat soldiers' blood. On the contrary, the soldiers in the two towns often engage in some income-generating projects, and the dividends are not bad. With the addition of military settlements, the small life is even very comfortable. Like the Forbidden Army, he will often ask for rewards and benefits, and he can also guard the court's borders. Of course, the court must use such generals.
So those small problems, everyone just opened their eyes and closed their eyes.
After all, I really need to talk about it in detail. None of the thirteen border towns in the imperial court is clean and innocent. Everyone guarding the remote frontier is very hard work, even risky. Who would do it without any benefit?
Even the Forbidden Army in the Gyeonggi area has a lot of bad things.
Now the military generals in the Privy Council, such as Gao Xianzhi, Wang Xiaojie, even the deceased Cheng Wuting, Liu Shenli, and Qin Lang's second son Qin Lun, they were all similar when they were Jiedu envoys.
For the imperial court, it is enough for the military officials to be able to guard the frontier, be loyal to the imperial court, and not engage in rebellion and rebellion, which is enough to satisfy them. Do you still want them to be saints?
As for the dissatisfaction of those vassal barbarians, or even irrelevant foreign countries, no matter what he does.
Hezhong Jiedu envoy Li Xiu was promoted to the Shufu, and Hei Chi Changzhi took over as Hezhong Jiedu envoy.
The thought of Qin Yandao and Qin Xia, black and white, entering Beijing, gave everyone a headache. Moreover, there are already two Qin family members in the two mansions. The grandson of Qin Langshu, Prince of Wu'an County, Qin Xiaozhong, has just been promoted to You Servant. Qin Lang's second son, King Wei Qin Lun, is currently the third deputy envoy of the Privy Council.
It's not appropriate to come to the Liangqin family again.
Even if there is another one, it is not appropriate.
The emperor's wife, grandfather, King Wei, and deputy privy envoy Qin Lun took the initiative to say that there are currently seven prime ministers in the Zhengshitang, and seven privy councilors in the Privy Council, so they can temporarily not add anyone.
Qin Xiaozhong also knew very well that if he wanted to be promoted to the Privy Council one or two more times, the most qualified ones would be his uncle Qin Yandao and his uncle Qin Xia, so he also thought that there was no need to be promoted to the Privy Council.
The uncle and nephew of the Qin family took the lead in expressing their views, and everyone naturally echoed and supported them.
Qin Xiaozhong is actually one year older than his 21st uncle Qin Lun. Both of them agreed that they would not let their family members enter the two mansions. The Qin family is ranked fourth.
It is impossible to arrange for the Qin family to come in. To enter, the Qin family of the two mansions can only give way.
Now Qin Yandao and Qin Xia are both serving as commanders-in-chief of the township. If they enter the court now, it means that one or two positions will be vacated. This is subtraction, not addition.
As it is now, Qin Xiaozhong is the right servant in the Zhengshitang, Qin Lun is the deputy envoy in the Privy Council, Qin Yandao and Qin Xia are divided into Dianyue Township Commander-in-Chief and Korean Daoist Commander-in-Chief. The black-toothed Changzhi is also one of his own, so there is no need to adjust.
"Since all your lovers share this opinion, let's make a decision like this." The young emperor made the final decision without hesitation.
