Chapter 246: Set up the storm

Chapter 246: Setting up a storm

The next morning, a news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. The Si Gu, which had been silent for more than 20 years, appeared again again. There were already crowds of people in front of Zhuque Gate. After hearing the news, the people who rushed to see the lively crowded the place where the Si Gu is placed, three layers inside, three layers outside, and the crowd was surging. Wu Zetian set up the Si Gu to accept talent and seek prominence, advise on current affairs, seek justice, and offer tribute to chants. Soon due to cumbersomeness, it was changed to the Four Gate of One Gate. In the second year of Qingzhi, it was restored to the Four Gate of Four Gate, and moved the Si Gu out of the court and placed it on the four offering platforms outside Zhuque Gate. In the fifth year of Qingzhi, the Si Gu temporarily stored the Si Gu in the lower province, and released it for more than twenty years.

Today, Sihu made a high-profile comeback and accepted the injustice of the people of the world. However, the scene was not Sihu, but two people. They advised the current affairs and made injustice, and were under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat and the tribute of the Central Secretariat, and were not presented. Despite this, this became a major event that caused a sensation in Chang'an.

When laymen watch the excitement, experts look at the tricks. Many political observers have discovered clues from the soldiers guarding the two knives. They are not Qianniu Guards or Jinwu Guards, but a strange army with iron helmets and armor. Some people still vaguely remember that the Tianqi Camp stationed in Dongneiyuan seemed to be in this outfit, and those with sharp eyes sneered repeatedly. Tianqi Camp is the gatekeeper, and the mystery of this is self-evident.

One hour later, the news of the reappearance of the four treasures spread throughout the Chang'an officialdom. It was like a heavy hammer, smashing the long-frozen ice in the Chang'an officialdom. In the winter of the sixth year of Xuanren, people felt a breeze blowing towards them.





















At noon, a carriage quickly rushed towards the Daming Palace, and hundreds of guards were closely guarding the carriage. This was the urgent request of the right prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Jun, who urgently asked to see Cui Xiaofu. Inside the carriage, Pei Jun's face was gloomy and his lips were tense. Zhang Huan's case was found out in less than half an hour. Zhang Huan took advantage of the loopholes left when Cui Yuan destroyed the four treaches. Although the momentum was created, Pei Jun believed that Zhang Huan's move was just a test. He did not believe that Zhang Huan would play chess so rashly. He made a move to challenge the third day after arriving in Chang'an. Besides, Cui Yu, the servant of the sect, had not made any statement yet.

Regarding Zhang Huan, Pei Jun went from his initial support to his subsequent suppression and counterattack, and then to his vigilance and vigilance today. It should be said that he already knew Zhang Huan very well and knew his ambition and ability. From a small Wuwei governor to today, he occupied large areas of wealthy land such as Longyou and Bashu. If he had not been restrained earlier, Zhang Huan would definitely become bigger and bigger in the future. His strength exceeded the court in one day, and there were only a few times for the change of dynasties in the Tang Dynasty. But even if he was bound to the court, Pei Jun racked his brains and placed him in a village village with no real power. Although he knew that Zhang Huan would not give up, he still did not expect that Zhang Huan's move would be so fast and so powerful. Only now could only ask Cui Xiaofu for help and remove the four lords with the edict of the Empress Dowager.

The carriage went straight into the Daming Palace and stopped in front of Zichen Pavilion. Pei Jun quickly walked up the steps to the hall, but saw Cui Yu coming towards him. The two hesitated for a moment, but smiled at each other. Cui Yu bowed and smiled first, "Pei Xiangguo, are you here to meet the Queen Mother?"

"There is no way. If something happens to the disciples, I can't help but I have to discuss it with the Queen Mother." After saying that, Pei Jun's eyes flashed slightly, and he watched Cui Yu's expression change. Cui Yu smiled faintly and said, "The law of the Four Pusses has not been abolished, so the Minister naturally has the right to put it on. Why is it a big event? Pei Xiangguo is so serious."

Pei Jun sneered and said, "That's what the subordinate minister has been declaring the four gulfs that have disappeared for more than 20 years. The subordinate minister is sure!"

Cui Yu raised his head and replied lukewarmly: "If the four lords abolish the re-establishment, the Shizhong will be allowed to allow it, but it was only suspended that year. When will it come back is a chore in the province. It is naturally up to the Shizhong to decide, so why should I ask the Shizhong?"

"So that's it." Pei Jun laughed dryly, "It's getting late, I won't delay the official duties of Prime Minister Cui. Prime Minister Cui invites him!" He flashed to the side, looking at Cui Yu with his head held high, and his heart was full of contempt for Cui Yu, short-sighted, and only seeking pleasure for a moment. It was too far from Cui Yuan. Cui Yu's attitude of watching the fire across the river was as expected by Pei Jun. At this moment, Pei Jun suddenly missed Cui Yuan a little.

But this idea was fleeting. Pei Jun quickly walked into the hall, and a eunuch stepped forward and bowed to him, "The Empress Dowager rests for a moment, please sit down for a while."

Pei Jun nodded, found an embroidered dormitory to sit down, but the eunuch saw that there was no one around and whispered to Pei Jun: "Cui Xiang advised the Empress Dowager not to interfere in the matter of the four gutters, and the Empress Dowager did not express his opinion."

The sudden news shocked Pei Jun. He pondered for a moment and began to realize that he was a little impatient in dealing with the Si Ni. The reason why Cui Xiaofu did not make a statement was very simple. She wanted to get enough concessions from her. On the contrary, if Cui Xiaofu issued an order to abolish the Si Ni, but showed her taboos towards Zhang Huan in front of all the officials and thus establish his prestige, isn't this what he wanted? But if he didn't care, Zhang Huan would use the public opinion among the Si Ni, attack everywhere and impeach political enemies one by one.

At this moment, Pei Jun suddenly realized that Zhang Huan had taken a wonderful step, which made him unable to move forward and retreat. While he was thinking, he only heard the eunuch's order, "The Empress Dowager summoned Pei Xiangguo to meet him!"

‘Well, let’s see you first.’ Pei Jun stood up, tidied up his court uniform, and strode into Cui Xiaofu’s court room.

"My minister Pei Jun met with the Queen Mother!"

Cui Xiaofu was not in good health during this period. She suffered from a cold and was in bed for several days. Today was the first time she came to Zichen Pavilion to handle official duties, but she happened to meet Zhang Huan to restart the Situation. Zhang Huan was his decree for the Minister of the Sect. The Ministry of Personnel has also written the following statement. In terms of position, Zhang Huan is already a veritable Minister of the Sect. However, according to convention, new officials always have to meet colleagues, meet subordinates, visit their superiors, and meet the emperor. After this process is over, they must be familiar with the affairs of the department and start the specific affairs. At least more than a month later, but Zhang Huan launched Situation on the third day of entering Beijing, and he had not even entered the gate of the Situation Province.

This shows that he was targeted. After listening to Cui Yu's report on the matter, Cui Xiaofu immediately realized that she could only solve the problem. As expected, Cui Yu had just retired, and the eunuch came to report, "Pei Xiangguo asked for a meeting!"

What is slightly different from what Pei Jun guessed is that Cui Xiaofu did not want to use this matter to bargain with Pei Jun. She tends to Cui Yu's opinion and does not express her opinion on this matter. She also wants to see how much impact this matter has on the court.

"The prime minister is flat and will be given a seat!"

"Thank you, the Empress Dowager." Pei Jun sat down and said straight to the point: "This time I asked to see the Empress Dowager, mainly to ask, what is the situation of the emperor? He should be seven years old this year. I think some court meetings can let the emperor listen to, so that he has heard and seen the imperial court's majesty since he was a child."

Pei Jun did not mention the Si Gu, but asked about the recent situation of Emperor Li Miao, which made Cui Xiaofu slightly stunned. Without thinking about it, she replied casually: "The emperor is still young, and the most important thing is to let him read the books of sages, rather than listening to the court. He is too anxious, but will instead boost the seedlings and encourage growth, which is not conducive to the emperor's growth. Pei Xiangguo thought what the Ai family said was right?"

"The Empress Dowager is careful, and I am far from the same as me." Pei Jun stopped insisting. He smiled slightly and said, "When it comes to the emperor's education, I can recommend one person to serve as the emperor's attendant."

"Oh! Who is the prime minister electing?" Cui Xiaofu asked with interest.

"I recommend Han Yu, a doctor of the Imperial College, to serve as the emperor. This person is second-class in his literary talent. He is rare to have a magnificent literary style and seek practicality. I hope that his style can influence the emperor. When the emperor takes power in ten years, he can become a pragmatic and diligent emperor."

Cui Xiaofu nodded, "The Prime Minister makes sense, so let the Prime Minister handle this matter."

Pei Jun stood up, bowed and smiled, "I still have official duties, so I will take my leave!"























After Pei Jun left, Cui Xiaofu pondered for a long time. She couldn't figure out why Pei Jun didn't propose to abolish the Four Tales to her, but talked about the emperor's education and what he sold in his gourd? Did he really not care about Zhang Huan's move?

Cui Xiaofu slowly walked to the window, and Pei Jun's words touched her a little. Before she knew it, the emperor was already seven years old. In another eleven years, he would take power. In other words, he still had eleven years left. Who would threaten Li Miao's throne in these eleven years?

Suddenly, Cui Xiaofu's back froze, and she suddenly understood the true intention of Emperor Pei Junti in charge of power.























Zhang Huan came to Menxia Province for the first time today. Menxia Province is located on the left side of the Daming Palace, while the Secretariat is on the right side of the Daming Palace. Menxia Province is located in an extremely magnificent building. It is the deputy commissioner of the Secretariat. Its main function is to seal and refute the documents handled by the Secretariat. All important military and national policies are pre-determined by the Secretariat and drafted as edicts and submitted to Menxia Province for review and reimbursement, and then handed over to the Secretariat for promulgation. If Menxia Province has objections to the edicts drafted by the Secretariat, it can be enfeoffed and reimposed.

Therefore, many central positions in the Tang Dynasty were divided into left and right positions, and the Secretariat was the right, and the Menxia Provincial was called the left, such as the Left Prime Minister, the Right Cavalry Officer, the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Left and the Supervisor.

But now it is much deserted in the province of Menxia. The documents of the Secretariat are no longer reviewed by the Secretariat and are directly sent to the Secretariat by the Political Affairs Hall. More than 100 people in the Secretariat have become idle jobs and do nothing all day long. In addition, Pei Jun's management style is relatively lax, which should be the busiest morning of official business. There are only a dozen people in the huge Secretariat. Others are sick or in trouble, and they all make excuses to go home. Even the Zuo Prime Minister Cui Yu has only been here once in a few months, and they are all working in the Ministry of War in the Imperial City.

However, Cui Yu arranged Zhang Huan's job very carefully, and replaced all the items and items used by the ministers of the former office to new ones. He also sent someone to clean the snow in front of and behind the house and replanted many trees.

Zhang Huan's court room was a suite of five rooms, with his own office room, a reception room, two places for document recording and handling official documents, and another room for him to take a nap. The room was large and bright, and it was very comfortable.

Two documents with Zhang Huan who went to Beijing were Niu Sengru, and the other was Qin Mi. He was knowledgeable and smart and capable. He was a Jinshi Tanhua in the fourth year of Xuanren. He was also defeated by the Ministry of Personnel because of his family from a businessman. He was angry and joined the army in Longyou and was recommended to Zhang Huan by Li Shuangyu.

They were both Zhang Huan's confidants. This time they went to Beijing to serve as ministers, so they brought them to take office.

"Governor, there seems to be no official document here." Niu Sengru flipped over the pile of documents on the table, frowned, and it was all in a palace newspaper.

"There are no official documents here. We mainly deal with military and political affairs in Longyou here." Zhang Huan walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and then returned to the two of them and said, "You both have waist signs to enter and exit the Daming Palace. Every day, you take turns to my Quan House to get the letter. There will be Longyou documents delivered there every day. Before the special service in the Ministry of the People's District was restored, you two will specially organize Longyou documents for me."

"Sir, obey the order!" The two bowed together.

Zhang Huan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Okay, today you are walking around and familiar with the situation of the door and saving money. Go for lunch by yourself. I'll go to the Zhuque Gate now."

Zhang Huan of the Daming Palace was already familiar with the road. Instead of riding a horse, he sat in a carriage and walked through the imperial city under the escort of more than 20 personal soldiers, and came to the Zhuque Gate where the two houses were placed.

The four tiles are usually placed on the sacrifice platform, two on the left and right of the Zhuque Gate, but today they are only two tiles in the Junxia Village, and are located on two stone platforms about one meter high on the left of the Zhuque Gate.

There are 100 soldiers guarding each stone platform, all of which are the Xiliang army brought by Zhang Huan. They were wearing the military uniforms of the Tianqi Camp that year. It is almost noon now. Most of the people watching the fun have dispersed. Li Suhe has not left yet. Generally, he does not have to come out every day, but only collects the books in the house at a fixed time.

But today is the first day of the two sacreds. Li Xuhe was wearing Tang Dynasty official uniform and stood majestic beside the sacred and advising current affairs. He did not move a single step for the whole morning, while another sacred who was seeking justice was standing next to the sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sac

At this moment, several Japanese business representatives came next to the current affairs, holding a copy of the letter, hoping that the Tang Dynasty would allow them to bring some advanced textile tools back to Japan.

However, they did not know the seal characters on the two treasures, and the translation was not there, so they kept asking questions, wanting to know which treasure they should put in. Although Wan Liang couldn't understand what they said, he knew that Li Suga was a Japanese, so he pointed to Li Suga to several Japanese businessmen and signaled them to find that person.

When several Japanese businessmen saw that Li Suga was as short as them and looked like a villager, they were so excited that they surrounded Li Suga, as if they were seeing their relatives in a foreign land, saying something in a lingering manner.

But Li Suhe had a stern face and ignored a few Japanese compatriots at all. He was a great Tang Dynasty man, how could he know Japanese people? How could he understand Japanese? After a while, he saw that they refused to disperse, and shouted sternly: "How could I understand Japanese Mandarin? If you make trouble, don't blame me for treating you to the official!"

When several Japanese businessmen were frightened, they couldn't help but take a few steps back and looked at the Tang Dynasty official who looked like them in disappointment. He didn't understand Japanese.

It was lunch time, and many officials in the imperial city came out to have dinner. Several Japanese merchants saw an official from the Honglu Temple Dianke Office at a glance. They had received them and knew Japanese. They stepped forward as if they saw a savior and grabbed the translator and told him a story.

The official glanced at Li Suha, grinned, and smiled dryly and said to Li Suha: "They want to ask the court to agree to sell a batch of textile tools to them to Japan, but they don't know which pot to invest?"

"So that's it!" A sudden enlightenment appeared on Li Suha's face, and pointed to the bell beside him, "Tell them, just go here."

The official of the Honglu Temple turned around and said a few words. Several Japanese people put their books in the treasury with gratitude. Li Xuhe said to the official again: "Tell them that since they come to my Tang Dynasty to conduct business, they naturally have to learn Chinese to communicate. Wouldn't we Tang Dynasty learn Japanese?"

"What Buquelang said is." The official quickly translated Li Suga's words intact. Several Japanese nodded repeatedly and said yes, then bowed to Li Suga humbly and turned around.

At this time, Zhang Huan, who had been watching the fun in the carriage, got out of the car and walked over. Two hundred soldiers saluted together. Li Xuhe quickly smiled and walked up to him and said, "The Minister of the Secretariat is here to check it out in person. I am ashamed of being aware of it!"

Zhang Huan waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to waive the gift. He asked Li Xuhe with a smile: "How many books have you submitted this morning?"

"Report to the Minister, the two lords have more than one hundred seals each."

"Not bad! Not bad! It's only been one morning, and it seems that it's very necessary to set up the four treasures." Zhang Huan nodded in praise, then looked at Wan Liang, who was just as humble as Wan Liang, said: "Are you the son-in-law of the Changsun Nanfang in my school?"

Wan Liang quickly replied: "That's right!"

Zhang Huan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "If you have any difficulties at home, just tell me. Don't look at other people's faces. I will send someone to send you some money tomorrow. You should pay back all your old debts!"

When Wan Liang was stunned, he immediately understood what Zhang Huan meant, and his eyes were filled with gratitude. He nodded silently, and his voice trembled slightly, "I remember the care of the minister, and the subordinates remembered it in my heart."

Zhang Huan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go for dinner! Remember to send the book from the treasure to me in the afternoon."
