Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Emperor Gaozong, a sick young man, began to fall ill intermittently not long after he succeeded to the throne, which fueled Empress Wu's ambition to face the court.

Fortunately, when Empress Wu came to court, the ministers of Zhenguan, such as Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, died again, and Lu Dinggong, who had survived to his sixties, began the most amazing remaining ten years of his life.

It is also a matter of time, and it is also the tallest among the dwarfs, and this Lu Dinggong has qualifications after three dynasties. The most important thing is that this Lu Dinggong has no chance to stand on the side of the Li family dynasty.

The old officials in their sixties were stunned to be selected by the Empress Wu, blowing the pillow wind, and being selected into the prime minister's team by Emperor Gaozong who was in a mess, and passed the prime minister's addiction for a while.

Moreover, it is the highest rank among the prime ministers - the third rank under Tongzhong Shumen. Although this is a false title, it is the highest honor among the prime ministers.

In the following ten years, there were ups and downs, ups and downs, and he retired from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice at the age of 74. At the age of 76, he enjoyed a long life with a smile on his face.

but,

Guo Ye calculated carefully, and now it is only three years of Zhenguan, which is 629 A.D. After calculation, this Lu Dinggong is only 35 or [-] years old. Why is he an old man in his [-]s?

Taking advantage of the time when Kang Bao hurriedly waved his subordinate soldiers to get on the boat to fight the fire, he took a closer look at Lu Chengqing who was still coughing and panting heavily.

Paralyzed, no wonder he looks like a penny old man.

His hair was disheveled, his eyebrows and a few strands of his beard were burnt to a mess, no matter how he looked, he looked like an extremely embarrassed old man.

But Guo Ye carefully discovered that the neck of Fan Yang Dinggong Lu Chengqing was fair and his skin was moist, which was not what a bad old man could have at all.

Even if it is said that the head and body look like an old man, it can only be said that this Lu Dinggong's family is inherited, and he is naturally short.

Tsk tsk, the 35-year-old left servant of the Ministry of War is awesome.

What is the concept of the left servant of the Ministry of War?

The Ministry of War is equivalent to today's Ministry of Defense, and the Minister of War is equivalent to the Minister of Defense today, and the Minister of the Ministry of War has two deputies, namely, the Left Minister of the Ministry of War and the Right Minister of the Ministry of War.

In the past dynasties, except for the Mongolian and Yuan courts, the right was respected, and the left was respected.

Therefore, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War is equivalent to the current deputy minister of national defense. This deputy minister is not a low-ranking deputy minister, but the real first deputy minister of national defense, and can also be collectively referred to as the executive deputy minister of national defense.

What do you mean by routine?That is, he is taking care of everything and letting him take care of it.

You are a fairy, Guo Ye once again spit out bad words in his heart, the 35-year-old executive deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense is really awesome and shining.

What's even more terrible is that a fourth-rank official position like Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War is nothing at all in the early stage of Zhenguan. There are dozens more.

It can be seen from here that the Tang Dynasty in the early days of Zhenguan is really famous officials and powerful generals, and there are big names gathered. If you throw a big carrot into the early court hall of Chang'an Palace, you can smash it into a textbook if you can't carry it. There are historical celebrities who have been recorded.

What about Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Changsun Wuji...

Many, as many as a cow's hair.

Guo Ye murmured again in his heart, no wonder this Lord Lu Ding was so quiet during the Zhenguan period, with so many predators pressing down on him, it was really hard to get ahead.

Even if he survived long enough, all the big crocodiles above either died of illness or were put to death, otherwise he would never even think about being addicted to the prime minister until he died.

Seeing Guo Ye in a daze, Kang Bao thought that Guo Ye was also like him, and was taken by Lu Chengqing, the title of the left servant of the Ministry of War. He couldn't help thinking, I really thought that your boy Taishan collapsed before him and his face didn't change. , Dare to feel like a bird like me!

Immediately arched Guo Ye's arm with his hand, and whispered: "Don't be dazed, hurry up, the Minister of the Ministry of War is in front, if you and I don't come forward to meet, it will be very inappropriate."

Guo Ye let out a cry, and was woken up by Kang Bao from the pushing, and he recovered a little bit.

It’s really no wonder that he is not calm enough. Being able to be in this place in the middle of Sichuan, which is thousands of miles away from Chang’an, is still on a small Minjiang River. Such a coincidence, meeting a more interesting celebrity in history, who can be calm?

Besides, he is only a small ninth-rank inspector now, and the fourth-rank Zuo Shilang is still a high-ranking existence to him. Legs are in vain for a generation of time-travelers.

Even if he is not such a great master as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the left servant of the fourth-rank military department who can walk in the center of the imperial court is still a super thick mosquito leg to him.

Although Lu Chengqing's becoming the prime minister was decades later, but now, Lu Chengqing is something that Guo Ye can't look directly at.

It is said that there are people in the court who are good at being officials.

I think Lu Chengqing might be a member of the court who likes to be an official, my little brother Guo.

Hug, must hug, must hug tightly.

Immediately, Guo Ye ignored Kang Bao, but quickly raised his spear and jumped onto the deck of the opponent's flower boat. With a smile that was more beautiful than a rich peony, he hurried forward and ran to Lu Chengqing. Bow to Yingying and shout:

"Yeah, it turned out that it was Mr. Lu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who was in front of you. You were surprised by the delay in the rescue of the lower official. The lower official is guilty, guilty!"

Guo Ye slapped him with shameless flattery, and almost fell into Lu Chengqing's arms.

This sound startled Lu Chengqing, who was still breathing heavily for fresh air, and foolishly frightened Kang Bao who was hanging under the boat. Seeing Guo Ye's actions, he couldn't help being speechless, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

To paraphrase Guo Ye's words that often hang on his lips, Kang Bao cried out in his heart, what about morals?What about ethics?Where is the integrity?

Lu Chengqing's cheeks were burnt like an African refugee. Seeing Guo Ye's sudden enthusiasm, he quickly pulled up the sleeve of his scarlet robe and wiped the ashes from his face. Although he was small but his eyes were bright, he looked at Guo Ye Ye asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Naturally, Guo Ye would not let go of the opportunity to make friends with Lu Chengqing at close range, and replied with a very flattering face: "The lower official is an official of the Longxi County Government, and he is in charge of the patrol inspection in Longxi."

As soon as Guo Ye reported his family name, Lu Chengqing took a look at him and muttered to himself, "It turns out that he is a small inspector of the ninth grade!"

I rely on!

Brother Guo suddenly couldn't hold back his face, what's wrong with your sister, the Nine-Pin Inspection?Is this the end of your dog's life?Does Terr look down on people?

Of course, his face was full of pleasant smiles, but he didn't show a trace of indignation, and continued to say in a friendly manner: "Dare to ask Mr. Minister, where are you going? How can you take such a risky trip? Fortunately, I am an official today. If I pass by the Minjiang River Basin in Bashu County by chance, something serious will happen today. By then, the Yizhou officials will suffer a lot!"

The first half of Guo Ye's words are nonsense, but the second half is more important.

To put it bluntly, it is to secretly remind Lu Chengqing that I saved your life, without me, you will die today, you must not forget your roots!

Although it was obscure, Lu Chengqing was able to sit on the position of a fourth-rank official at only 35 or [-] years old. How could it be an embroidered pillow that is not very useful?

Naturally, he heard that there was something in Guo Ye's words.

Suddenly felt that the Ninth-Rank inspection at such a young age was interesting, and just wanted to brush his beard and laugh out loud, but unfortunately those few locks of male symbols were gone.

Uh……

Embarrassed, he had no choice but to wave his sleeves, as if to expel the ashes in the air, or to sweep away the embarrassment, and then smiled wryly at Guo Ye: "Little Jiupin has sharp teeth, but you Just now, I saw that I was an official in Jiangshang, wearing a white robe, looking brave, not bad!"

Hearing Lu Chengqing's seemingly derogatory words, Guo Ye was also secretly pleased, thinking, it seems that Lu Chengqing is not such an arrogant person, after all, he is a capable person, so he naturally disdains to do such indecent things.

Immediately, he clasped his fists again to thank Lu Chengqing and said, "Master Minister's praise, my praise, I just did my duty a little bit."

Lu Chengqing glanced back at the group of government soldiers who were still fighting the fire, licked his dry lips, and asked: "You see, my ship has been burnt to nothing, little inspector, don't you want to invite me?" Sir, why don't you go sit on the boat and treat him with tea soup?"

Well?

Guo Ye was overjoyed again, and he went uninvited. Could it be that Lu Chengqing still wants to communicate more with his little brother?

Hey, this is a great opportunity, a good thing, a great good thing.
