Chapter 387 Gods fight, Lao Wu suffers
Standing at the main hall.
The emperor arrived and had dinner with the queen.
"Chengqian looks very majestic when wearing bright light armor, and he looks a bit like what I used to be." The emperor suddenly said.
"I'm just a ten-year-old child, and I'm not a general when I put on armor." Changsun served a bowl of soup for the emperor.
The emperor's face was not relaxed, "I heard that Cheng Qian liked that armor very much."
"A young man always likes to dance with swords and guns. He always learns scriptures from great scholars and court officials all day long, and he must be very interested in it. What's more, he has a father who will fight to the world immediately. Perhaps he still has some of His Majesty's bravery in his bones."
"If you say this, the tiger father has no dog son, but my father-in-law was also a general who killed two birds with one stone, so we both have this martial bloodline passed on to him."
Changsun is a smart woman. Her husband only started to start, but in fact she could guess many of her husband's thoughts along the way.
"When Chengqian returns from Bashang, I will urge him to spend more time on his homework and learn more about government affairs when he has time."
Li Shimin shook his head.
"Actually, I'm thinking too much. Which of the nobles' children is not martial? It's just that I've experienced the Xuanwu Sect's changes and I've always had some concerns about these."
"There are so many great scholars and wise ministers in the East Palace, especially those who are wise as Huailiang, so Chengqian doesn't have to worry about it."
"Maybe it was because Chengqian saw that I planned to sign Ke'er the King of Wu and Jing'er the King of Shu that day, which made him feel a little too worried. This child is too precocious and is only ten years old." The emperor said.
Changsun also knew about this, but he had never expressed any opinion. It was the emperor's power to which harem women wanted to be appointed as concubines. The emperor wanted to be appointed as king and what position they wanted to be granted is also his power. The queen had no right to interfere.
As long as Cheng Qian is not involved, Changsun will not interrupt easily. This is the attitude that a qualified queen should have.
However, since the emperor talked about this, Changsun also said, "Your Majesty, now all the princes who were granted the title of kings were granted the title of princes during Wude, so after Your Majesty ascended the throne, they were all granted the title of princes. Now that Ye'er is only two years old, he has never been granted the title of princes before. This time, he should not say anything to be granted the title of kings, but since he wants to grant the title, he should also be granted the title of the other young princes who are about the same age as Ye'er. It would be a bit too abrupt to only the title of Ye'er."
"What the queen said is that I have no consideration. I have only considered that Guangzhou was promoted to the Grand Governor's Office, so I wanted to change Ke'er to the King of Wu to Guangzhou, but I thought that the Great Governor of Yizhou was vacant, so I planned to let Yan'er be named King of Shu. Now it seems that it is a bit lacking."
"I'll forget about this matter. If I'm going to be granted another title next time, I'll let Yuangui and Ke'er exchange the titles, and let Yuangui town Yizhou and Ke'er town Guangzhou."
Li Yuangui was Li Yuan's 14th son. He was originally named Yuan Shu. His mother was Zhang Meiren. He was versatile since childhood and was also very popular with Li Yuan. He was first named King of Shu and later changed to King of Wu.
Brothers and sons are more close to each other.
Although Shu is actually better than Lingnan, the court now attaches great importance to Lingnan and makes an exception to promote Guangzhou to the Grand Governor's Office. Therefore, Li Shimin wanted his son to take on this important task.
After hearing this, Empress Changsun smiled slightly and stopped talking.
At the end of the meal, the emperor was in a good mood and stayed at the Queen of Lizheng Hall that night.
The next day, the emperor summoned the important ministers to discuss the matter in the morning.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the court discussion, the emperor proposed to let Li Ke be the governor of Guangzhou.
"Li Ke was re-entitled King of Wu and was appointed as the governor of Guangzhou. Yang Gongren was moved to the chief of the governor of Guangzhou!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three departments of the founding of the Imperial Palace, the crown prince’s grand tutor, Duke Zhao, Changsun Wuji, immediately objected loudly.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Gui was originally named King of Shu, later changed to King of Wu, and now he has been named King of Shu, which is inevitable. Besides, Yang Gongren was originally the prime minister of the court. Now he is old this year. Your Majesty had previously understood that he was old and had great achievements. He specially asked him to serve as the governor of Luozhou and retire in Luoyang, but now he has to transfer him to Guangzhou. Guangzhou is located in Lingnan, and damp heat is not conducive to rest, and it is not a way to wait for merit to be rewarded."
The reason is quite legitimate, but it is obviously because Yang Gongren is Li Ke's mother's uncle.
"What if you transfer Wu Shiyan, the chief of the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office, to be the chief of the Guangzhou Grand Governor's Office?"
This time, Changsun Wuji did not object immediately, but immediately some ministers stood up to oppose it.
Although Wu Shi Teng was the confidant of the Supreme Emperor and was originally just a businessman in Hedong, the Xuxian Yang family he later married was the daughter of Nayan Yang Da, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Da was Yang Xiong's brother, so Yang was the cousin of Yang Gongren and Yang Shidao, and the cousin of Li Ke's mother Yang Fei.
Those who oppose it are also on the same line as Changsun Wuji.
Qin Lang sat in the hall without saying a word.
He had actually visited Changsun Wuji before and mentioned that the emperor discovered by Chengqian planned to confer Li Yan as King of Shu and Li Ke as King of Wu to conquer Guangzhou, and also expressed that Chengqian was very worried about this.
When Changsun heard this, he immediately expressed his intention to stop the emperor's wrong behavior.
He is Chengqian's biological uncle, so of course he has to support the crown prince Chengqian. What's more, the future of the Changsun family has long been linked to Chengqian. Changsun's son and nephew have long been from the East Palace. If Chengqian becomes the emperor in the future, the Changsun family will naturally benefit a lot as the national uncle. If Chengqian cannot become the emperor, the first person to be affected by the blow will be his Changsun family.
At this time, who will do the work if my uncle doesn’t do it?
Before this court discussion, Changsun Wuji had already made arrangements.
After a long discussion.
All are voices of opposition.
In the end, Li Shimin had no choice but to make a step back.
King Li Tai of Yue was renamed King of Wei, and King Li Ke of Shu was renamed King of Wu, but he still divided Yangzhou and Yizhou. The matter of Li Yan's title of King was not mentioned. Even when Concubine Yang Shu was promoted to the Imperial Concubine, Li Shimin saw the opportunity, so he simply stopped mentioning it.
The focus of the dispute is the personnel issues of the chief of the Grand Governor's Office.
In the end, Yang Gongren remained as the governor of Luozhou.
However, Wu Shiyu, the former chief of the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office, was transferred to the position of governor of Lizhou in Shuzhong. From the chief of the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office to the governor of Lizhou in the border, this was obviously demoted. After all, the chief of the Grand Governor's Office is actually the acting in charge of affairs of the Grand Governor's Office.
The Warrior probably couldn't even think about how he was innocently caught in the shooting.
The court debates over the chief of the Guangzhou Grand Governor's Office, the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office, and the Yizhou Grand Governor's Office, were fiercely debated.
Everyone wants to launch their own candidate.
When the prince is in a remote position, it is very important to be a great governor.
Li Shimin's head hurts after being quarreled. He thought it was just a simple personnel adjustment, but who knew that it was a bit unforgettable now.
Things were even more troublesome than he expected.
Every prime minister and important minister has his own recommended candidates.
In the hall, Qin Lang was the only one sitting there quietly, smiling at the wind and clouds. He did not participate in the argument or recommend his own candidates.
Li Shimin directly called Qin Lang's name.
"Qin Lang, who do you have any recommendation?"
"Your Majesty, I think the candidates recommended by all the ministers are good."
"I am asking you, who do you want to recommend as the chief of the Guangzhou Governor's Office?" the emperor asked directly.
Qin Lang was helpless, this was obviously like a god fighting. Why did you insist on me mixing?
But the emperor was a little annoyed now and had to stare at him.
Qin Lang looked at the hall and said that no one was easy to offend. He recommended Changsun's person, but Fang Xuanling was probably unhappy. He recommended the person from Yang Shizhong, and probably Wen Yanbo was unhappy.
So after thinking about it, if you want to offend, you should offend them together. It is better than obviously leaning towards someone.
"I recommend Li Daliang as the chief and governor of the Guangzhou Grand Governor's Office!"
This name made the monarch and ministers stunned.
Li Daliang, who had served as the governor of Yuezhou before, and later became the governor of Fengzhou with Qin Langbei. Last year, he made great contributions. So he was appointed as the chief of the Anbei Protectorate at the beginning of the year. In this emperor's Northern Expedition strategy, Li Daliang was also the chief manager of the all-round way.
No one would have thought Qin Lang would recommend him, but after thinking about it, Li Daliang is really good at this. After all, he is now the chief of the Protectorate, which is the same level as the chief of the General Administration. What's more, he made such a great contribution last year. He had experience working in Yuezhou, southern China before, and his performance was pretty good.
Of course, Li Daliang has a special background. He was born in Guanlong aristocratic family, but he had been in Wagang.
"Okay, let's transfer Li Daliang to the position of the chief of the Guangzhou Governor's Office, governor!" The emperor made the final decision and was too lazy to bother with the ministers anymore.
"Where is the chief of the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office?" Li Shimin asked again without letting Qin Lang go.
The Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office was the most important setting in the south before. At the earliest, it was from a very wide jurisdiction. After leaving Lantian and passing Wuguan in Chang'an, it started from Danyang, all the way to Yangzhou, and even the entire Lingnan to Jiaozhou, all of them were under the jurisdiction of the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office.
Now, the former Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office has been divided into Jingzhou Grand Governor's Office, Guangzhou Grand Governor's Office, and Annan Grand Governor's Office. They are all top units.
But even if it is divided, the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office still controls Huainan, Huainan, Jiangdong, Jiangxi and other places, which is the most important area in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty today.
Qin Lang previously recommended Li Daliang, and he also had some selfish intentions. After all, Li Daliang had been a subordinate of Qin Qiong for a few days, and had previously partnered with him in Fengzhou.
But now Li Shimin asked about the candidate for the Chief of Yangzhou again.
"I didn't expect the right person to be there!"
"Then you think about it now!"
Qin Lang looked at Changsun Wuji, then Fang Xuanling, then Yang Shidao, and finally Wen Yanbo, these are the four great kings in the court, the prime minister among the prime ministers, and the forces represented by each of them are extremely outstanding.
He wanted to recommend Yu Wen Shi and Gao Shilian, etc., but these books are also recommended by the four kings.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Lang finally planned to just push someone else.
"I recommend the governor of Luzhou, Huang Junhan, Duke of Guo. Duke Huang once fought in Hulao and led his army to quell the rebellion in Jiangnan. He has made great achievements in fighting and is familiar with Jiangnan."
Huang Junhan was also a general from Wagang. He was once a prison guard in Dongjun, a subordinate of the law Cao Zhai Rang, and his good brother. Later, Zhai Rang was arrested and imprisoned, and Huang Junhan released him privately. Huang Junhan also participated in the conquest of Liao, and obtained a rare first-level merit. He was awarded the title of Li Xinwei and was elected as the Yueqi Celestial Commander and the Sima of our residence.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Huang Junhan later brought the officers and soldiers of his mansion to Wagang. After Li Mi was defeated, he joined the Tang Dynasty.
When Huang Jun surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he took his territory and subordinates to surrender, so he was directly appointed as the Shangzhu Kingdom, the general manager of Huaizhou, the governor, and the Duke of Dongjun by Li Yuan.
Later, he participated in the rebellion of King Ping Shichong and Gonghu of Pingfu. He was promoted to the governor of the five prefectures including Luze for his merits and was granted the title of Duke of Guo, and was a tiger general.
But he was also a Shandong general who came from Wagang and had a good relationship with the Qin family, but to put it in detail, Huang Junhan actually had a better relationship with Li Ji.
After all, when Li Ji was still called Xu Shiji, he was Zhai Rang's good brother. Later, he became one of the three leaders of Wagang with Shan Xiongxin. After Li Mi was defeated and fled to Guanzhong to join the Tang Dynasty, it was Li Ji who took the defeated troops and continued to guard the land of Wagang.
Therefore, when the Li family surrendered Xu Shiji, they insisted on granting Xu Shiji and his son the surname to the king. Later, the father and the father refused, and then they were awarded the title of Duke.
During the Wude period, Li Shiji was actually restricted from using it because Li Shiji, like Luo Yi, was at the level of a leader, which was very different from generals like Qin Qiong and others.
Even today, Li Shimin, a very capable and young general, was very careful to use it.
Li Shimin was afraid that Li Ji would be as ambitious as Luo Yi, so he raised his arms one day, so the old subordinates of Wagang responded one after another. After all, most of the old subordinates of Li Shimin, especially Li Shimin's Qin Palace, were born in Wagang.
