Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1055
According to the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall is permanent, and it is the highest deliberative body to assist the emperor in ruling the country.The Political Affairs Hall does not have the right to make decisions, but His Majesty Li Er deeply believes in the abilities of the ministers, and also respects these ministers who have followed him to fight the world and worked hard. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the results of the Political Affairs Hall meetings will not be the same. Rebuttal is the highest decision of the empire.

Even if this result is often not in line with His Majesty Li Er's original intention.

It can be seen from this that although His Majesty Li Er can pick out many shortcomings, at least the "good at taking advice" is something that ancient emperors rarely possessed.

As a result, the Zhengshitang has changed from the highest deliberative body in the empire to actually the highest decision-making body in the empire.

Of course, this right was granted by His Majesty Li Er, and he can take it back at any time.

But throughout the Zhenguan Dynasty, this right was never taken back until the funeral of His Majesty Li Er...

But His Majesty Li Er is good at strategy and strategy, and is well versed in the way of balance.There are actually three prime ministers currently in power in the Zhengshitang, and among the three, Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen obviously joined forces to resist Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Wuji can't do anything alone.

At this stage, this is what His Majesty Li Er would like to see.

Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen can cooperate with His Majesty Li Er to suppress Changsun Wuji, and the interests of the three parties are currently the same.

But after that?
As Changsun Wuji said, to be able to enter the political affairs hall to discuss politics must be the most outstanding talent in the empire. Only after going through various experiences can he be able and qualified to become a member of the empire's policy establishment.However, the sudden promotion of officials to enter the political affairs hall will not improve the ability of officials. On the contrary, it will lead to various decision-making mistakes due to lack of experience, and the result will be political turmoil.

This kind of price is something His Majesty Li Er doesn't want to see.

how to solve this problem?

It's very simple, as Changsun Wuji said, promote potential officials to enter the political affairs hall now, not participate in politics, not discuss politics, just sit in and learn to enrich yourself, and prepare for serving as the cornerstone and leading the future.

Moreover, the alliance between Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen is not impregnable. If one day the two also part ways, won't the Zhengshitang be divided into three parts and have no priority?What is even more worrying is that once the Guanlong Group is suppressed, will the Xungui Group represented by Fang Xuanling and the forces behind Cen Wenwen replace the Guanlong Group?
If that's the case, what's the point of suppressing the Guanlong Group with all my heart and soul?
It's like working hard to make wedding dresses for others...

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "The cultivation of talents takes time and energy, and it cannot be accomplished overnight. The proposal of the auxiliary machine is very good. Now we will recruit potential officials and senior officials into the political affairs hall. Introducing new ones and carefully cultivating them is the way to continue the empire. What do you two think about this matter?"

Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen secretly complained.

The eldest grandson Wuji is really insidious. He started with cultivating princes, and then extended to cultivating young officials. In name, he was cultivating talents for the empire, but in essence it was to divide the power of the political affairs hall. Wuji, this has strengthened Changsun Wuji's right to speak.

At the very least, it has added to his influence, so that he won't be completely ostracized by Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen as he is now.

It is true that young officials only have the right to learn, have no right to speak, and have no right to make decisions when they enter the political affairs hall, but those senior and meritorious relatives say a word casually, and even Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling cannot completely ignore it...

But His Majesty Li Er is already tempted. If the two refuse, His Majesty Li Er will be suspicious in vain, and he will become more determined to divide the political affairs hall. He only needs to nod in agreement gloomily.

But my heart is as uncomfortable as eating flies...

His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood, beckoning to serve black tea and pastries, and eating with the three prime ministers.After eating some delicious cakes and drinking a cup of mellow black tea, His Majesty Li Er asked, "What do you think about Goguryeo's request to confer Gaozang as King of Goguryeo?"

What can be said about this?

Although in name the King of Goguryeo has to be conferred by the Tang Dynasty to be justified and legally tenable, in fact the Tang Dynasty has never been in charge of the internal affairs of Goguryeo. Never refuted it.

But today is different.

The Tang Dynasty wanted to mobilize troops against Goguryeo, so it was impossible to hide the fact that food and grass were hoarded and soldiers were dispatched. Although there was no decree issued, how could Goguryeo be completely unaware?At this time point, Goguryeo still sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to request canonization, how could it be that there was no deep meaning?

Goguryeo has always had brave soldiers and fierce folk customs. The Central Plains Dynasty has repeatedly conquered and returned without success.
Cen Wenwen pondered and said: "Your Majesty, Jingzhao Mansion sent a report just now, saying that there was a man named Hei Chi Changzhi in the Goguryeo Mission, and he was a skilled swordsman. He suspected that this person was assassinating Jingzhao. Yin's assassin, requesting His Majesty to issue an order to allow the Jingzhao Mansion to enter the Honglu Temple to arrest Hei Chi Changzhi for interrogation. In my opinion, it is better to hand over the request for canonization of Goguryeo to a minister in the court, and work together with the Jingzhao Mansion I don't know what your Majesty would like to deal with the assassination?"

His Majesty Li Er was immediately furious: "So it was the Goguryeo Mission who did it secretly? It is simply unreasonable! Not only dared to make trouble and assassinate the important officials of the court, but also dared to frame the royal relatives afterwards. Do you really think that I, the tiger of the Tang Dynasty, can't care about it?"

motherfucker!

Little Goguryeo, I haven't spared my hands to deal with you, yet I dare to take advantage of the corrupt situation in the Western Regions to come to Chang'an to make troubles, I don't know how to live or die!
Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, why don't the old ministers and the neighbors deal with the Goguryeo canonization and the assassins together?"

After the assassin assassinated Fang Jun, the assassin framed the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Taiyuan Wang family was the backbone of the Guanlong Group. On this point, the Guanlong Group and Fang Jun had the same interests, and they both wanted to arrest the assassin to vent their anger.

It is said that His Majesty Li Er must agree.

Who knows that His Majesty Li Er is really angry at this moment, sneered, and said: "How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? Let Fang Jun do this kind of thing, why do you need the auxiliary machine to do it yourself? That's a group of jumping beams from Goguryeo." Clown! And when it comes to dealing with this kind of thing, Fang Jun is better at it."

Fang Xuanling felt ashamed.

What do you mean Fang Jun is better at it?
According to His Majesty's tone, even if they don't turn against Goguryeo, they intend to make them lose face.Using Fang Jun instead of Changsun Wuji obviously means that Fang Jun should let go of his hands and feet to vent his anger, and he can do whatever he wants.Because Fang Jun is a stick, and when the stick is angry, the method of venting must be more violent...

This bastard in my family is really embarrassing.

Changsun Wuji has no expression on his face, but his heart is inevitably lost...

His original intention was to take the opportunity to attack the Goguryeo Mission in order to boost the morale of the Guanlong Group.It must be known that the Wang family was first framed by an assassin, and then Fang Jun swept away his face. Although Fang Jun respected Wang Jingzhi afterwards and did not make things difficult, the forceful search of the Wang family's ancestral house really damaged the Guanlong Group's reputation. face.

But His Majesty would rather let Fang Jun act recklessly than allow himself to participate in it.

Suppressing the Guanlong Group is one aspect, but it can also be seen that his position in His Majesty's heart is becoming more and more unbearable...

*****
The servants in the palace rushed to Jingzhao Mansion to announce His Majesty's will: Wei Zhaoshan, the former minister of Honglu Temple, behaved inappropriately and violated the state system, so he put it on hold for investigation.He ordered Jingzhao Yin Fangjun to concurrently serve as the Minister of Honglu Temple, and had full power to deal with the canonization of the King of Goguryeo.

Fang Jun was a little confused...

Not only he was confused, but the whole Jingzhao Mansion was a little confused...

Wei Zhaoshan, who is that?

The uncle of Wei Yuantong, the head of the Wei family, the only surviving figure of the older generation of the Wei family!

Just these two sentences of "improper behavior and violation of the national system" and you've been slapped?He didn't even have a serious crime, so he was "dismissed from office and pending investigation"?
At this moment, all officials with the background of the Guanlong Group are full of resentment towards Changsun Wuji!

You said that you yourself were suppressed by Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen. After all, His Majesty Li Er is now clearly stating that if he wants to suppress the Guanlong Group, he must be on the side of Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen.But even Wei Zhaoshan, the patriarch of the Wei family, can't protect him, isn't that a bit too much?
After being dazed for a while, Fang Jun finally understood what His Majesty Li Er meant.

What is "full discretion"?
That's how you do whatever you want...
