The Tang Dynasty and the Winter Solstice have Golden Week holidays, each with seven-day holidays.

The seven-day holiday of the main dynasty is the first day of the New Year, and the three-day holidays are each for the first and next. However, for a prime minister like Qin Lang, the seven-day holiday of the main dynasty is not as leisurely as usual. You cannot reunite at home on the night of thirty, so you have to go to the palace to attend a palace banquet. At least ten hours, high-ranking officials and important officials will accompany the emperor to stay up with the New Year, eat, drink and watch literary performances.

On the first day of the New Year, I have to get up early to attend the ceremonial ceremony, and it took me one day.

It was finally time to reach the second day of the lunar month, but Qin Lang had to go to the palace to report and discuss military and national affairs.

Finally, I went home from get off work early in the afternoon, and finally I was able to have a good New Year's dinner with my family. However, there were endless guests who came to pay New Year's greetings. Some could refuse to see them, but some were not good to see them.

Qin Lang didn't have much rest for several consecutive days.

It is early in the third day of the lunar month, and although there is no need for morning court, there is also a meeting of the Political Affairs Hall.

I still have to bear early.

Imperial City, Central Secretariat's introspection, Capital Hall.

When Qin Lang, Pingzhang’s military and national affairs, entered the Political Affairs Hall, the economy was already in full swing.

Yesterday, the Hanlin Academy locked the courtyard, and then issued several internal regulations. The bachelor's edict was drafted by Cui Dunli himself. The magistrate of the East and West governments made a major adjustment.

Luoyang is well-informed. The Baima edict here is announced, and the Luoyang city has already known that the list of the two prefectures was handed over to the emperor by the Grand Tutor Qin Lang, and the emperor completely accepted it and asked the Hanlin scholars to follow the list to make a prefecture.

This is the pavilion of Qin Lang Group.

The scholars and people in Luoyang were both surprised, but they also took it for granted.

Is Qin Lang, the current Grand Tutor, an ordinary person? He is a veteran of four dynasties and a prime minister of three dynasties.

All the companies that received the Baima edict yesterday were also very happy. They were so lanterns that they wanted to fulfill the announcement of Luoyang. This morning, many newspapers and magazines in Luoyang issued extras.

Qin Lang finally refused many titles from the emperor, and the emperor finally compromised. Xu Qinlang was appointed as the Taishi, Pingzhang's military and national affairs, and many other titles, such as the Shangshu Ling, Zhizhongshu Ershi, the two ministers of the school, the Privy Councilor, and the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, and the military camps and horses were left and right.

For Qin Lang, a Pingzhang military and national title is actually enough. As for the other titles, it is just icing on the cake, and not even all good things.

It is easy to attract jealousy.

"Pingzhang!"

"Taoshi!"

"Sanlang!"

Everyone in the hall stood up to greet each other, and Qin Lang nodded in various titles.

In addition to the seven prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, including him, there are four ministers under the Secretariat, six clerks of the Secretariat, and six clerks of the Secretariat, and six clerks of the Secretariat.

In addition, the officials behind the halls of the five wings of the Political Affairs Hall also attended the meeting, including the five wings of the Cardinal, the official, and the five wings of the Military Affairs Hall in each wing, and were the first officials. However, with the stability of the Political Affairs Hall of the Central Secretariat as the decision-making center, the five wings also had a stable position and increased authority. Therefore, later, scholars were used as officials behind the hall and were promoted, with three wings of the Hall, mainly one senior in seniority.

Among the five rooms, the head of the old hall is the senior official in the card room, and is called the old master, who handles daily chores of the government affairs hall.

This official position is actually equivalent to being the Director of the General Office of the Political Affairs Hall and Director of the Cardinal Department.

Although the level of the officials behind the hall is not high, they are only in the seventh rank, and the cardinal lord, who is a master of the cabinet, is only at the sixth rank.

However, now the officials of the church are called noble officials of the Qing Dynasty. They are both pure and expensive. They are the first choice for scholars like the secretary-general, secretary-general, writer, proofreader, etc., and are even more pure than these. If you can be a officials of the church, you will at least be the county magistrate. Even if you have the qualifications of the minister, the county magistrate is just a transition.

If the local government performs well, there will be a great opportunity to be a senior official in the future, a subordinate of the school, and a censor.

For example, the new Zhongshu Ling Lai Ji, who is now sitting in the hall, was born as the top scholar and secretary. He worked as a cardinal in the Political Affairs Hall. Later, he had a prosperous official career and now he has become the Zhongshu Ling.

His brother Lai Heng also served as Privy Councilor, and is now the Minister of Personnel.

Pei Xingjian also served as the minister of the court, and now he is in the court, and is the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe.

The new Shizhong Shangguan Yi also worked as a senior official in the Political Affairs Hall. He was the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy before, but now he is the Shizhong.

These people basically had the path of official careers, including the imperial examination and Jinshi or even the first-class top scholar Tanhua, etc., then they were secretary-generals and writers who started out as secretary-generals, and then they entered the government affairs hall as the back-end official, then went out to the province to become the Zhongshu Sheren, then they worked in the ministry, then they became the central boss.

At this time, Li Shouzhen, the old master of the cabinet, was a little nervous, but was more excited. At this time, his father Li Kai and grandfather Li Keshi were still teaching him last night.

This time he was able to be this cabinet master not because of his talent or his qualifications, but because of Tai Shi Qin.

The reason why Qin Taishi was able to appreciate him was because his father Li Kai and Li Demo. In the ninth year of Wude, when Qin Lang became an official in Chang'an County, his father was the military officer of Chang'an Fa Cao. At that time, he met Qin Lang. Later, he followed Qin Lang to rebel and later joined Qin Lang to form the Pacification Department. Li Kai was originally the fifth son of Li Keshi.

But with this opportunity, his career has always been good. At the end of Zhenguan, he was promoted to Danyang County Duke and the procurator General Zuo Yulin.

However, later Changsun Wuji fell, and Li Keshi and his son were also implicated. Because Li Keshi, as Li Jing's third brother, married Empress Changsun's cousin, so Li Keshi's family had a close relationship with Changsun Wuji in the early days. Even though Li Jing had basically withdrawn from the court in Zhenguan, Li Keshi's official career was still prosperous, and he was named Duke Dai, appointed as the general of the Left Wu Guard, and even served as the chief of the Youzhou Grand Governor's Office and the governor of Youzhou.

Under Changsun's involvement, Li Keshi's family was also silent. Fortunately, with Qin Lang's help, he was not involved too deeply. He was just demoted. He was not exiled like the Changsun family and confiscated his property.

After being silent for several years, Qin Lang has made a comeback now, and Li Kai and Li Demo, as Qin Lang’s former old partner, naturally made a comeback.

Li Keshi, who was 84 years old, was promoted to the rank of general of the Zhenjun Army and was appointed as the chief of the Youzhou Grand Governor's Office and the governor of Youzhou. His eldest son Li Jia and Li Dashan were awarded the title of governor of Xiazhou. His second son Li Dahui was awarded the title of governor of Ganzhou, and his fourth son Li Daqi was awarded the title of Duke of Yichun County, and was awarded the title of governor of Zhenbeizhou and the envoy of Zhenbei Army.

Li Demo was awarded the title of General Zuo Yulin and Duke of Danyang County.

Li Shouzhen also became the cardinal secretary of the Political Affairs Hall and became the cabinet master.

The four brothers of Li Jing are the most important now.

Seeing that Qin Lang had already said hello to everyone over there, Li Shouzhen stood up and poured Qin Lang a cup of tea first.

"Taishi, will the discussion begin?"

"Well, Mr. Li, what are you going to discuss today?"

As a cabinet master, although Li Shouzhen was only down from the sixth rank, he was also Qin Lang's chief secretary. In name, Qin Lang is now Pingzhang Military and State Affairs, who specializes in government affairs, so he is responsible for convening, presided over the meetings of the Political Affairs Hall, and making meeting minutes, summary, etc.

But in fact, these things were done by the old man from the Tanghouge, but Qin Lang signed the name in the end.

When the new prime minister team is established, three fires must be burned first.

Li Shouzhen opened his notepad and said, "Li Pingzhang proposed to dismiss the Transport Department and the Three Divisions envoys, and his powers remained in each department."

"What else?"

"Xu Pingzhang proposed to abolish the Privy Council, and all civil and military affairs will be separated from the Secretary of the Central Secretariat."

Qin Lang smiled and held a teacup in his hand.

This tea cup is his own. Whether it is the prime minister, the minister, or the clerk, the ministers, the subordinates and the men of the hall, they all bring their own cups. The cups are all kinds, but they are obviously not ordinary, including purple clay, blue and white porcelain, silver, glass, and crystal.

Qin Lang's one was a purple clay tea cup, and the one made of black tea. Because he felt a little tired recently, he also added a piece of Changbai ginseng that was paid tribute to the black tea.

Tea is produced by Luzon.

In fact, in terms of geographical and climatic conditions, the conditions for growing tea in Luzon are not good, but they are not impossible to plant. Therefore, after Qin Lang went to Luzon, he also started growing tea, pepper, etc. while growing sugarcane, cotton, and abaca.

After more than 20 years of cultivation and cultivation, although Luzon black tea is not as good as Wuyishan high-end black tea in the Central Plains, its quality is still medium to top. It focuses on foreign trade exports, but it is actually quite good, but the quantity is still relatively weak.

Driven by Qin Lang's sales, even Luzon black tea can not only satisfy tea self-sufficiency, but also export black tea to the Central Plains region, seizing some mid-range black tea markets.

While drinking Luzon black tea with Changbai Ginseng, Qin Lang was not much shocked by these two issues. Because Li Shouzhen was promoted by him, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu reported their issues to Secretary-General Li Shouzhen in advance, and Li Shouzhen informed him in advance.

Xu Jingzong was the prime minister for thirty years. When Qin Lang left, Qin Lang promoted him to be a minister of the Secretariat. Later, by acting as a gun for Li Yin, he took the lead in working hard to deal with Changsun Wuji and even became prime minister for one time.

This time, Qin Lang formed a cabinet, and the three high-ranking officials of Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong were taken over by Qin Lang, and he only took the position of Tongpingzhangshi into the Political Affairs Hall as prime minister. Although he was still the real prime minister, he did not directly serve as the chief of the three provinces, and his power was still somewhat different.

But no one is dissatisfied with Qin Lang's arrangement, after all, he is still the prime minister.

The two of them raised their own issues very fiercely. They directly agreed with the Privy Council established by Li Yin and the Lieutenant of the Xuanwei Council and the Guardian Lieutenant established by Li Yin. The Privy Council envoys the three eunuchs who were directly withdrawn after Qin Jun supported Li Zhao.

But the Privy Council, Hanlin Academy and Transportation Department did not move.

First of all, the Transport Department and the Hanlin Academy were both established by the novice of the Saint Li Shimin, although the Transport Department has now invaded and seized a lot of power from the prime minister.

As for the Privy Council, it involved military power and military affairs, so he did not move easily.

Xu and Li came up and attacked the Privy Council and the Transportation Department, intending to retake the power of the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall that the emperor had weakened before.

Military power and financial power will be returned to the prime minister of the Zhengshi Hall, which is a good thing for the entire Zhengshi Hall. For Qin Lang, the prime minister who has now resigned as the Privy Councilor of the Procuratorate and the Transfer Envoy, this should be even more good thing.
