Chapter 60 Political Affairs Council Meeting

Han Xiu, a native of Chang'an, Jingzhao, was born in the Han family of Changli. He was the nephew of Han Damin, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the son of Han Daming, the son of Han Dazhi, the sect of Luozhou.

Due to family studies, Han Xiu learned from a young age that he had the ability to govern the world, was extremely talented, and was as straight as Wei Zheng and Song Jing. He was straight and upright and could not rub sand in his eyes.

Before, Wang Hui intended to take the position of Chief Censor, but Pei Min didn't want him to succeed, so he chose Han Xiu.

Han Xiu did not disappoint Pei Min, and he did something that caused a sensation in Chang'an as soon as he took office.

Cheng Boxian was the grandson of Cheng Yaojin and the son of Cheng Chubi. He was descended from a famous family. He inherited the title of Duke of Guangping County and was appointed as General Zuo Jinwu.

I think of what a founding general Cheng Zhijie was, but as the grandson of a hero, he did not have the heroic spirit of his ancestors. He relied on favors and was greedy for money and profit, and he was often arbitrage in the house.

Han Xiu caught Cheng Boxian as soon as he took office.

Li Longji was unwilling to be punished at first, but Han Xiu was unyielding and forced Li Longji to severely punish Cheng Boxian.

There was Yu Wen Rong in front of the censorate and Han Xiu behind him, and the limelight was unparalleled.

Yu Wen Rong was beside Han Xiu. When he heard Han Xiu's words, his face was full of indignation and a little helpless. How could he be qualified to call Pei Min now?

Just looking at Pei Min who was full of energy, looking at Yuan Qianyao beside him, Li Yuanhong actually had the same thought in his heart...

Perhaps it won't take long before the Shangshu Province, a department that has already been in name only, will recreate the glory of all the past due to his appearance.

How can two sheep beat tigers?

The prime minister still has his own privileges. He does not need to queue up to enter and exit the imperial city. He can enter the imperial city directly after a simple inquiry.

Originally, the Zhengshi Hall was in Menxia Province, but because the Secretary of the Secretariat Zhang Shuo was in charge of the government, the Political Affairs Hall of Menxia Province was moved to the Secretary of the Secretariat.

Pei Min, Yuan Qianyao and Li Yuanhong arrived at the Secretariat together.

Several other prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty had arrived before them, and most of the officials who participated in the political affairs were also here.

Among all, Pei Min also knew Du Xian, who became the prime minister of martial arts, and Wang Shi, who was both civil and military.

It was the first time Pei Min came to this political affairs hall, and hello was naturally indispensable.

"Secret Wang, Xiang Du, it's been a long time since we met."

Wang Shi and Pei Min were just nodding and had no contact with each other, just greeted him appropriately.

Du Xian seemed particularly enthusiastic.

Pei Min and Du Xian are actually nodding, but Du Xian is Pei Min's little fan.

Du Xian was in charge of the Western Regions. When Ding You returned home because of his mother's death, he came to visit him when he passed by Guzang, and planned to leave.

This made Pei Min feel that "I never saw Pei Jingyuan in my life, and it would be useless to be called a famous scholar."

Du Xian was promoted to Minister of War after Ding You ended with his military achievements in the Western Regions. A few days ago, he was promoted to Prime Minister.

Looking at Du Xian, Pei Min remembered Li Linfu's initial judgment.

Li Linfu firmly stated from the beginning that Yuwen Rong could not be promoted to prime minister, and the successor to prime minister must be a member of the military to balance the balance of the power of the civil and military officials.

Sure enough, no matter how great Yuwen Rong wins, it is still Du Xian who is in power.

"I parted with Du Xiangguzang in the past, and today I meet again in this political affairs hall, which is inseparable from the word "destiny".

Du Xian also said: "In the past, there were important things in the lower world, so I kept talking more, and it was even more inconvenient to drink. I couldn't talk about literature and talk about things with Pei Xiang. I regret it until now."

"What's the difficulty?" Pei Min said: "Pei's mansion is always waiting for the Grand Priest Du. If Du Xiang wants to be an enemy, he just needs someone to send him a call and he is on standby at any time."

Yuan Gan Yao introduced others to Pei Min.

Everyone spoke and entered the Political Affairs Hall.

The Zhengshi Hall is simple and solemn, without any novel decorations, and the seat is not big, full of old flavor.

There are three cases in front of you, and there are three cases in the left and right.

No special furnishings.

There is no doubt that the three cases at the forefront were specially customized for the bosses of the three provinces.

The left and right cases below are the other prime ministers and officials who are not qualified to be prime ministers but authorized Li Longji to participate in political affairs.

Pei Min and the others sat down.

The servant brought tea, and Pei Min also ushered in his first prime ministerial career.

Pei Min first came and said that he didn't know much about many things, and he rarely spoke, and most of them listened quietly.

It is said that a family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day.

Pei Min knew that this sentence should be added today, it would rather not be a king for a day than a formless day.

A king is like a heart, and it is indeed the most critical and important existence, but the prime minister's group is the brain.

All policies and decrees of a dynasty were discussed and formulated by these officials in the Political Affairs Hall, and they were responsible for the operation of the entire temple.

From policies and strategies to officials’ arrangements, they all came from this small political affairs hall.

Suddenly, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Yu Wenrong suddenly stood up and said, "There is a letter from the Northeast here. Please read Yuan Xiang, Li Xiang, and Pei Xiang first."

He took a few steps forward and handed the letter to Yuan Gan Yao.

Yuan Gan Yao looked at the letter, glanced at Pei Min slightly, and gave the letter to Li Yuanhong.

Li Yuanhong was stunned when he saw the content of the letter and handed it to Pei Min calmly.

Pei Min generously took the letter, and saw the carelessness in the letter, and suddenly realized it in his heart.

This is a letter from Northeast General Zhang Shougui applied for military expenses to allocate.

After seeing Pei Min read the letter, Yuwen Rong said excitedly: "This is a letter sent by the Northeast Zhang Shougui Jiedushi, which is about applying for military expenses to our court. If I am not wrong, there is a similar letter there, right?"

Du Xian's official position was the Minister of War, and was the Minister of the Central Committee and the Minister of the Central Committee, so he was also one of the prime ministers.

Yuwen Rong was the Minister of Revenue, but he was a deputy to the government affairs officer and had the power to participate in the meetings of the Political Affairs Hall, but he was not qualified to be called a minister.

Du Xian nodded and said, "As Yuwen Shangshu said, the Jiedushi Zhang Shougui did send a letter saying that wars in the Northeast are frequent and we need to allocate some armored weapons."

Yuwen Rong continued: "As far as I know, not only the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, the Idle Stable Envoy, and the herd envoy received similar letters, hoping to allocate some military and horses. The military affairs in the northeast have lasted for ten years. Every year, our dynasty needs to transport a large amount of money, food, equipment, and horses to the northeast for military supplies. The money has accumulated and is countless, and the people on the frontier are in panic."

"My old saying goes: Being war will perish. My Kaiyuan dynasty has only been around for more than ten years, but wars are constantly occurring every year. It has caused serious burdens on the people. It is time to stop. Put the focus on the people and take the peace of the people in the world as your responsibility. I once again proposed to reduce military spending, calm the war, and avoid sacrifice, so that my Tang Dynasty warriors can reunite with their families and let the people in the world enjoy peace."

Yuwen Rong said excitedly, his administrative views were as always.

Li Yuanhong nodded constantly, which was also their unanimous goal.

"This is a bad statement!"
