On the first day of every month, the fifteenth day is a grand ceremony with civil and military officials gathered. The emperor did not attend court every day, but on the first day of the 15th day, it was necessary to attend. At the fifteenth day of the 15th day, Princess Taiping submitted a memorial in court to discuss the reform of the official system. For a moment, the ministers were upset.

"quiet!"

The censor in the hall who maintained the discipline of the court made a sound, Princess Taiping sat calmly, and looked at the uproar in the hall calmly, as if she had expected the current situation.

Prince Li Longji, who sat opposite Princess Taiping, looked at Zhang Changzong, who was not far away from them almost immediately. He didn't need to investigate. He knew that the person who was really responsible for this memorial was Zhang Changzong, and he could only write it. He stood behind Princess Taiping with a clear stand and was willing to accept Princess Taiping's power?

For a moment, Li Longji couldn't help feeling complicated.

Emperor Li Dan also looked shocked, but he quickly calmed down and looked like he used to be the same. He waited for the little yellow door to present the memorial, and was not in a hurry to see it. He pinched a corner with a serious expression: "The princess's proposal is of great importance. What are the opinions of your family?"

Five prime ministers in court—

Song Jing, Yao Yuanzhi, Xiao Zhizhong, Liu Youqiu and Su Gui were not in a hurry to leave the list. Xiao Zhizhong was a little moved, but he saw that everyone around him had never said anything, and quietly coveted Princess Taiping for a glance, then lowered his head and said nothing.

Song Jing said first: "The princess' report that the governor cannot discuss the power of the land, which is actually a matter of planning the country. However, the governor is a special case under special circumstances. Since it is a special case, there must be special points. Someone needs to be dictated to govern. If there are too many restrictions, indulge in personnel affairs or delay the situation, this is one of them. Secondly, the number of prime ministers is abolished, the five prime ministers will be changed to three, and the prime ministers must be required to know military affairs. The boundaries between civil and military affairs in our dynasty are not as clear as those of the previous dynasty. There are many people who know military affairs from Emperor Gaozu to Emperor Zhongzong. There are many people who know military affairs from civil and civil officials who can govern the country and military affairs. Have they delayed political affairs or hindered military affairs? This has not been! Therefore, the selection of military generals in the commentary is the position of prime minister, and I object."

For most literati, civil officials can be involved in military power, but military officials are vulgar, but they cannot be involved in minister power. In this regard, the civil and military officials in the court almost quarreled the Golden Palace into a vegetable market. In order to maintain discipline, the censors in the hall shouted hoarsely, and the small notebooks of the names of those who violated discipline were almost full of memory, and their faces were as dark as charcoal.

The court meeting was held from early morning to lunch without any result, and they still held their own opinions and quarreled together. They could not leave the government affairs behind, so they had to stop the court first. Each department went back to his or her own yamen to do the affairs at hand, and then continued to quarrel at the next court meeting.

Princess Taiping had long expected that one day would not be able to come up with any result, so she was very calm about this. She retreated calmly and did not rush back to the house. Li Dan called her to the harem, as if she had something to discuss.

Zhang Changzong was also very calm. Even the civil and military officials looked at him for misunderstandings, and his expression had not changed at all. Sometimes he smiled at others and nodded to greet him, which made people who looked at him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Please stay with Xiang Yao."

After the court was over, he left the Jinluan. Song Jing hurriedly called Yao Yuanzhi, his face as deep as water: "I wonder if it is convenient for the Prime Minister of Yao to visit Song later today?"

According to the etiquette, Song Jing should actually send someone to hand in the famous post first. However, seeing that he had just left the court, he couldn't wait. Yao Yuanzhi was so steady that he nodded and said, "After going to the court, Yao waited for Song to come to the door."

"So, I'm disturbing Yao Xiang."

After the two made an appointment, they went back to the yamen to handle government affairs. After the matter was explained properly, they did not keep any longer. They left together with a tacit understanding. As soon as Yao Yuanzhi returned to the mansion, he changed into casual clothes, and Song Jing came. He was wearing casual clothes, but his face was heavy and he didn't take turns. He spoke straight to the topic: "What do Yao Xiang think about the matter reported by the princess of Zhenguo?"

Yao Yuanzhi knew Song Jing's nature and said, "The person who has experienced it should not be the princess, but the general of Jinwu Guard, Zhang Changzong."

"So, there must be a proposal from a person of military general in the position of prime minister. Could it be that Zhang Jinwu is paving the way for him?"

It’s not his fault for thinking this way. As soon as this proposal came out, no one in the court had such associations, and they all thought that Zhang Jinwu was paving the way for him.

Yao Yuanzhi was also a little doubtful and hesitated: "Although he was young, he was a man with a ravine heart. His knowledge and character were well known to the world. He was not comparable to ordinary martial artists. Looking at his past actions, he was not a person who only knew how to fight for power. If he could be a prime minister, it would be considered a blessing. However, what Yao was thinking about was not Zhang Jinwu, but..."

Yao Yuanzhi kept silent and looked at Song Jing. Song Jing was also silent. After a moment of silence, he looked solemn and continued, "I'm afraid this matter is the beginning of the country's interference in politics and power?"

Yao Yuanzhi nodded silently and looked at Song Jing worriedly, with a serious expression: "With the assistance of Zhang Jinwu, I am afraid that all officials in the future will only know how to govern the country, but not the prince. At that time, how will the prince take care of himself? The position of the national reserve should not be a rash, as it will be the beginning of chaos. Empress Wei, the disaster of Anle and the chaos has just passed, and the country can still undergo these twists and turns?"

Both of them are powerful men with great experience and vision. They can't be seen for a thousand years at a glance, but they are also great talents who can see ten steps by just one step. For a moment, they can't help but look solemn.

Although Princess Taiping was in the court before, she actually did more things to recruit power and accept bribes, but she did not interfere in the real government affairs much. Therefore, the ministers can tolerate her. Now this memorial is revealed that Princess Taiping intends to interfere in the court affairs?

Yao Yuanzhi and Song Jing were both a little confused. If the princess of Zhenguo really started to interfere in the government affairs, there were generals like Zhang Jinwu who held military power behind him, so how could the prince deal with him... The two were worried.

In this way, I quarreled up for three consecutive days—

No one has any objection to restricting the power of the Jiedushi; the number of prime ministers was quarreled for three days, and they agreed. The only point of quarreling was the matter of military generals becoming prime ministers. It was related to their own interests. Military generals fought with reason, civil officials insisted on it, and both sides refused to give in to each other, and they quarreled together.

However, even if the court is so noisy, government affairs must be done. March is coming soon. Enko's time is coming. The heads of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel and other departments are busy quarreling, and the court must also orderly distribute Enko's affairs. We must never miss the first imperial examination after the new king ascended the throne. If there is a mistake, no one can afford it, and the court is waiting to hire people. Against this background, the court's quarrels have stopped strangely. Each room seems to have a tacit understanding, and everything will be discussed after Enko.

Gao Botong also wanted to take the imperial examination, but he did not take the Jinshi examination, who valued poetry and essays, but the Mingjing. Zhang Changzong called him to encourage him and agreed to take him to his subordinates. As for what official position he had, he would discuss it after the results of his imperial examination came out.

In such a busy life, Li Dan also summoned Zhang Changzong into the palace and asked him to play polo with the princes.
