Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Wei Zheng hadn't finished speaking yet, another person came out of the class and knelt down, saying: "My minister believes that your majesty's reward is very fair, and Duke Qin deserves to be crowned king of Qin."

"You little..." Wei Zheng had just finished speaking, but he swallowed it back.Because he found out that the person who spoke just now was not someone else, but the right servant of Shang Shu shot Fang Xuanling.

For others, even His Majesty Li Er, Wei Zheng can speak without false words.But for Fang Xuanling, he didn't dare to be unreasonable.

Wei Zheng understood that Fang Xuanling didn't speak easily, but when he spoke, it was all well-thought-out and mature words for the country.If he refuted without thinking, the likely result would be to humiliate himself.

Just when Wei Zheng was stunned, all the ministers expressed their opinions one after another.

"Minister Li Daozong seconded the proposal!"

"Minister Li Jing reconsiders!"

"Chen Kong Yingda reconsideration!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

……

People supported Fang Xuanling one after another, while Wei Zheng became an absolute minority.

He gritted his teeth and said: "This humble minister is stupid, contrary to the opinions of the court officials, I still think this matter is inappropriate."

Things that the entire imperial court approves, not to mention Wei Zheng, even if the emperor opposes it, it is useless.His Majesty Li Er said: "My will has been decided, Wei Aiqing will step down."

"Yes!"

"Then the matter is settled like this. The Duke of Qin was named the King of Qin. After the dynasty was dispersed, there will be a decree issued."

Fang Xuanling said: "About the Duke of Qin, ah, no, the King of Qin, the humble minister still has this Qizuo."

"You speak."

"King Qin has made outstanding achievements, even if he is named a prince, it doesn't matter. But do he need to change his other duties?"

"Why is that?"

"I don't dare to say that something unexpected happened to the King of Qin, but it is a fact that he will not be able to perform his duties for a long time. These duties are of great importance, Your Majesty, please make arrangements early."

His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, and said, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Chang'an order, I recommend Shi Ma Zhou and Ma Yuanju, the head of the prince's mansion."

"allow!"

"Master of the Ministry of Rites, I recommend Xu Jingzong, the Minister of Zhongshu."

"allow!"

"Leading the post of the General of the Guards, please let Your Majesty decide."

"British Duke Li Ji no longer served as the left servant of the Ministry of War, and was changed to lead the army as the General of the Guard."

"There is also Lijingmen..."

"Take Master Changsun as the master of the Lijing Sect."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

……

……

After coming down to court, Wei Zheng tugged at Fang Xuanling's sleeve and said, "Why do you agree with His Majesty to make Guo Ye King of Qin today? It's against the rules."

"What's not in line with the rules? What do you care about with a dead person?" Fang Xuanling said: "There are rumors in the world that Guo Ye is His Majesty's illegitimate son. He is dead now. In order to express his grief, His Majesty honored him after his death. Nothing out of the ordinary."

"Didn't His Majesty think he was not dead?"

"That's because he is stubborn. You didn't see that I just asked to dismantle Duke Qin's duties. Did His Majesty agree? What does this mean? It means that His Majesty has long since given up hope in his heart."

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "I see. Regardless of whether Guo Ye is His Majesty's illegitimate son or not, in terms of his achievements, it is not an exaggeration to be named a prince. But..."

"how?"

"When Guo Ye was defeated in Tubo, everyone thought he was dead. But unexpectedly, he came back to life later! Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. What if he comes back alive this time? "

Wei Zheng sighed, and continued: "I don't have any complaints about the Duke of Qin personally. It's all right to be promoted to a position of honor and wealth. However, if there is a King of Qin with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty, how do you let everyone deal with it?"

"How is that possible?" Fang Xuanling said: "The last time the army was defeated, it was a man-made disaster. This time the huge waves capsized, but it was a natural disaster. I understand, the ship capsized on the sea, and the nearest shore, There are hundreds of miles. Guo Ye has no luck!"

"Then I'm relieved."

……

……

At the same time, in Wangbei Pavilion, His Majesty Li Er was muttering to himself.

"Guo Ye, Guo Ye, I have always regarded you as a minister, and I am going to let you help me expand my territory. Why did you get into trouble? Could it be that you think of what you said to me at the beginning? The matter of life expectancy is all deceiving me?"

"No, no. You can live to be 88 years old, and I can live to be 99 years old. This is not wrong. You must not die, right? You will definitely turn the corner, right?"

"I remember last time, I thought you were dead, so I conferred you the title of Duke of Pingyang County. As a result, not long after the decree was made, you came back alive and kicking."

"This time you want to be promoted again, so you repeat the old tricks, right? Well, according to you, according to you, and I will follow you! I have already decreed that you will be named King Qin. This is the King of Qin, and it is even worse than the crown prince. Be majestic. You should be satisfied now, right?"

"Qin Guogong, come back quickly, I miss you so much!"

In the end, His Majesty Li Er was in tears.

tuk tuk tuk~

There was a knock on the door, His Majesty Li Er hurriedly wiped his eyes and said, "Come in!"

squeak~

The door opened, and a beautiful woman in palace attire walked in, saying: "The concubine sees Your Majesty."

"Concubine Yin, why are you here?"

"When the concubine heard that His Majesty came back, she hid in the room alone without seeing anyone. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so..."

"My concubine has a heart, I'm fine."

"Nothing?" Concubine Yin smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, your eye circles are a little red. Could it be that you cried before?"
