He was planning to go back and ask the concierge Lao Huang to put up sharp wood on the walls of his house, and not to open the door to the eunuchs in the palace in the future.
In this way, the emperor will never be able to send people to quarrel with him in the future.
Just as he was thinking about this plan, he heard the emperor say again: "Read the other decree as well."
"Another will?"
"What other orders does your Majesty have to give?"
"This time the prince was deposed, and the position of Minister Zuopushe was vacant. This should be the reason."
"Oh, yes, yes, the Duke of Qi was deposed and returned to his hometown. Zuopushe's position is indeed vacant."
"Although Pushe respects the right, Pushe on the left is also the prime minister's position. I don't know who your Majesty wants to appoint."
"It should be chosen from among the six ministers. There is a high probability that it will be Li Xiaogong, the minister of rites."
"Prince of Hejian County? I think Hou Junji, Minister of War, is more likely."
"Hou Junji? It's possible for you to guess. After all, he is the most powerful among the six tribes. When the Duke of Qi was here before, he dared to speak directly to him."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking and before the eunuch announced the decree, the officials began to speculate.
Hou Junji heard that the emperor was about to announce the decree and was discussed by everyone, and his thoughts began to come alive.
Shangshu Zuopushe, he didn't think much about it before.
Because the relationship between Changsun Wuji and the emperor was too good.
The emperor would not dismiss his officials because of trivial matters.
After all, no matter what, Empress Changsun’s face cannot be circumvented.
But now.
Changsun Wuji was deposed by the emperor and returned to his hometown. This gave him, Hou Junji, an opportunity.
Although the Minister of War had a high and powerful position, he could not compare with Zuopushe, the Minister of the Ministry of War. He could discuss military and state affairs with the emperor from time to time.
Hou Junji really wanted to get this position.
But the emperor seems to have already chosen a candidate, and even the decree has been drawn up.
Now he can only wait for the final result.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong frowned.
They were all worried that Hou Junji would take the position of Minister Zuopushe.
Once this happens, Zhao Chen may have a very difficult life in the future.
They all still remember clearly the last time Zhao Chen almost killed Hou Junji with a sky-blasting cannon on the street.
How could Hou Junji forget?
"Prime Minister, this second imperial edict..." Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling with a worried look on his face.
He also had the same worries as Cheng Yaojin and others.
The position of Shangshu Zuopushe can fall into the hands of anyone, but it must not fall into the hands of Hou Junji.
"The second imperial edict is about the candidate for Zuopushe from Zhongshu Province." Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng with a smile.
Wei Zheng frowned and looked at Fang Xuanling inexplicably.
He didn't know what Fang Xuanling meant when he smiled at him!
"The decree of Emperor Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty: to admonish the official Wei Zheng. Since taking charge of the Yushitai, he has repeatedly made remarkable achievements after hearing his advice and construction. Even this night, he still did not forget to ask about important matters. I am very relieved."
"The author of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been re-discussing the award and moved to the right to be Zhongshu Zuopushe. I hope that Wei Qing will continue to devote himself to the Tang Dynasty."
The eunuch's voice sounded.
Hou Junji was immediately disappointed.
He originally thought that his fortune would turn around, and the emperor recognized his merits and asked him to take Changsun Wuji's place.
But who would have thought that the person who took Changsun Wuji's place was not himself, but that damn Wei Zheng.
Hou Junji didn't understand why Wei Zheng, an old man, deserved so much attention from the emperor.
You know, Wei Zheng was formerly under the command of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng.
Before the Xuanwumen Incident, Wei Zheng persuaded Li Jiancheng to kill him, Li Shimin, as soon as possible.
And he, Hou Junji, was the first hero to rush into Tai Chi Palace and capture Emperor Li Yuan.
Nowadays, the meritorious officials are not rewarded, but the opponents are promoted and made rich.
Hou Junji was filled with anger.
Li Tai looked at the eunuch who had finished reading the edict and placed it in Wei Zheng's hand. He even wanted to go over and see with his own eyes whether the emperor had written it wrong.
Or maybe this damn eunuch misread it.
But Li Tai didn't dare.
He couldn't even ask a question.
He just took the position of prince, and now he dares to question the emperor?
I'm afraid it's because the prince's position burns my buttocks.
Wei Zheng took the edict handed over by the eunuch in a daze, with a look of surprise on his face.
Even now, he still hasn't realized how he managed to overpower all the officials and become the Minister Zuopushe?
Based on his own qualifications, there is no problem, but he, Wei Zheng, was the prince's servant before.
Let yourself be the Minister Zuopushe...
"Xuancheng, haven't you thanked His Majesty yet?" Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng gave him a gentle push.
Only then did Wei Zheng regain his composure. Seeing the emperor glaring at him, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Wei Zheng has thanked your majesty. I will do my best to share your majesty's worries."
…
"Zhao Chen, congratulations." After the court, Zhao Chen was walking when Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong came over from the left and the right.
Qin Qiong patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder and smiled.
"Uncle Qin must have said it wrong. Where did I get the joy?"
"The person who was promoted is Mr. Wei, he has nothing to do with me!" Zhao Chen said casually, looking indifferent.
"Hehe, on the surface it has nothing to do with you, but we know that if it weren't for you, Brother Xuancheng would not have been able to sit in the position of Minister Zuopushe so easily." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
Zhao Chen didn't speak.
He himself never thought that the emperor would promote Wei Zheng.
Is this considered compensation for Li Chengqian's poisoning?
But is this compensation wrong?
He, Zhao Chen, was the one who had been hurt all the time. Why did he get a promotion for Old Wei Tou?
Although Zhao Chen had no intention of promotion, there was something wrong with the emperor's mind.
Even the target of compensation was wrong!
"We will go to Xuancheng's house later and ask him to treat us to dinner. Do you want to come with us? This is a good opportunity to kill him!" Cheng Yaojin and Zhao Chen invited.
"this……"
"I won't be the one to pay the bill again, right?" Zhao Chen hesitated slightly.
…
"Wei Zheng, there are only you and me, the emperor and my ministers, here. Do you have anything to ask?" In Ganquan Hall, the emperor dismissed everyone and spoke to Wei Zheng.
After he came to court, the emperor ordered someone to stop Wei Zheng.
The emperor has some things that he needs to explain clearly to Wei Zheng.
"I do have many doubts in my mind, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to clear them up for me." Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said.
The emperor said nothing and just looked at Wei Zheng.
"Your Majesty, I can take up the post of Minister Zuopushe today, but it's because of Zhao Chen?" Wei Zheng asked.
"Part of it!" The emperor nodded.
Wei Zheng pondered slightly, he had thought a lot on the way to Ganquan Palace.
The position of Shangshu Zuopushe is coveted by countless people.
The emperor didn't even discuss it with anyone, which shows how decisive this decision was.
"Xuancheng, you know the relationship between Zhao Chen and me, and I can assure you that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will only be Zhao Chen in the future."
"Do you understand what I mean?" The emperor walked up to Wei Zheng and spoke calmly.
Wei Zheng murmured twice, but did not answer directly. Instead, he asked again: "Have you forgotten, your Majesty just a stick of incense, your Majesty issued an order for Wei King Li Tai to enter the East Palace?"
"What is the purpose of Your Majesty's actions like this?"
"If Zhao Chen's identity is revealed one day, His Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to give up the throne."
"Has Your Majesty ever been worried that they would repeat the same mistakes of the past?"?
