Great Tang Southern Emperor

Why those promising emperors throughout the ages have achieved such great achievements? In addition to their extraordinary abilities, what is more important is their courage to dare to break the rules. Before Qin Shihuang discovered it, who would reuse Li Si who was still unknown Gan Luo with the kid?Apart from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who would reuse Wei Qing, who was born as a slave, and Huo Qubing, who was also a brat...

These people don't have any qualifications, but they all gave their emperors generous rewards. Li Si didn't talk about the late stage, but he really worked hard for the prosperity of Daqin in the early days. In the city, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had been fighting the Huns all their lives, and had to retreat to Mobei after beating the mighty Huns. They dared not go south to herd horses...

It's a pity that seniority is still the most accepted thing, even from the emperor to the people, even the most humble beggar's nest, they all pay attention to this, even Li Shimin can't get rid of it——among the Ming emperors of all dynasties in China, Especially among the three in the top three, Li Shimin is the one who dared not employ people the most. During his reign of Zhenguan, a large number of famous officials were old people in front of him, and it was rare for him to promote the younger generation. Although there are reasons why he was constrained by the family, but more importantly, his courage is still not as good as Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi.

Therefore, although Li Zhen was surprised that Wang Xuance would propose Wang Xuance, but when he proposed Wang Xuance as the governor of Nanyang, Cui Dao, the old man of the Boling Cui family, laughed: "Reporting to Your Majesty, to the Crown Prince, Wang Xuance's capable ministers, etc. I agree, he can destroy a country by one person, so it is no problem to serve as the governor of Nanyang. I believe that my colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty will not deny this.

However, Wang Xuance had only served as Minister of the Huangmen for less than a year, and among all the officials of the fourth rank and above in the Manchu Dynasty, he had the lowest qualifications. This level of qualifications is really too low...

What's more, how important is the governor of Nanyang?The rank will definitely not be lower than the second rank, Wang Xuance is only at the fourth rank, if he is promoted hastily——Wang Xuance has not made any contribution, if he is promoted rashly, all the officials will not accept it. "

Sure enough, as Li Zhen expected, Cui Dao did pinch Wang Xuance's biggest weakness. First, he affirmed Wang Xuance's ability, and then began to talk about his qualifications—there are so many fourth-rank officials in the Manchu Dynasty, why should you be one? Can the servant of Huangmen, who has just been in office for a year, hold such an important position?This sentence almost pushed Wang Xuance to the opposite of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. I believe that even if he did not serve as the Governor of Nanyang, he would definitely be excluded by all the officials...

It has to be said that people from aristocratic families are difficult to deal with. Before Cui Dao, an unknown person could easily isolate a person with a few words. Such methods are really terrifying.

However, this Cui Dao's resourcefulness is indeed powerful, but he is not smart enough, or his emotional intelligence is not enough. Doesn't this mean that he wants to push Wang Xuance to his side?

Originally, it was because of Li Zhen's kindness that Wang Xuance had a bright future today. He had a very good impression of Li Zhen, and now that Li Zhen was going to elect him as the governor of Nanyang, his impression of Li Zhen was even better. It's basically equivalent to being labeled as Li Zhen, but it's just that she hasn't completely surrendered to Li Zhen.

But now, because of Cui Dao's words, Wang Xuance had to completely join Li Zhen's camp—otherwise, would he be squeezed out and isolated by his colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty?

Wang Xuance knew very well that if he was squeezed out by the court, he would be demoted for some trumped-up charges in a short time, and would eventually disappear from the crowd. So excluded from the center of power?

As for the whole imperial court, the only one who can protect him is the prince. Even if Wang Xuance has a bad impression of Li Zhen, as long as he is not willing to be excluded, he can only join Li Zhen's command, not to mention that he is very grateful to Li Zhen, It is more at ease to rely on Li Zhen.

Chapter 974 Distant collar......

Chapter 332 Distant collar......

Also because of this, Li Zhen did not refute Cui Dao's words, but was happy in her heart. He was pushing a talent into her arms, so how could she be unhappy?Not only to be happy, but also to be very happy.

What's more, let's be honest, even if Li Zhen really wants to refute Cui Dao's words, it's useless, let's not say that seniority is an unspoken rule followed by the government and the people. Li Zhen is not the emperor yet, and he has no qualifications to break this rule. Kind of unspoken rules.Speaking of talking skills, he himself knows very well that he can't reason with these old foxes who have become elites, and he can't talk to them no matter what-their mouths are very powerful, and they can completely talk to the dead. Survival, crooked and straight, although Li Zhen is also very shameless, her verbal skills are not as good as this.

and so……

Li Zhen didn't refute the meaning of Cui Dao's words at all. Instead, he planned to follow Cui Dao's words, but he smiled lightly: "The reason of Cui Qing's family is naturally clear to me. It is still a little short of time to be the governor of Nanyang... But this palace is not recommending Wang Xuance to be the governor of Nanyang, is it? Governor of Nanyang, I have another candidate in my mind, and I want to recommend Wang Xuance for another position."

"Not the governor of Nanyang?"

Not only Cui Dao and Baiguan, but also Li Shimin are dumbfounded. If it's not the governor of Nanyang, then what are you talking about?It's not a waste of time, is it?

Unable to understand what kind of medicine was sold in Li Zhen's gourd, Cui Dao had no choice but to bow down and ask for advice: "I don't know what His Highness means..."

"Everyone, don't worry, just listen to me in detail." Li Zhen didn't continue to play tricks, just listened to him slowly say: "The governor of Nanyang is in charge of all grain production, processing and transportation in Nanyang. How important is his position? Wang Xuance said The ability is indeed very extraordinary, but what Cui Aiqing said is also very reasonable. After all, he lacks qualifications, and the governor of Nanyang is from the second rank and is the same as the prime minister. The official refused to accept it.

Therefore, although in Bengong's heart, the governor of Nanyang will belong to Wang Xuance sooner or later, but it is not now...

Therefore, what I mean by this palace is to first select a highly respected senior official from the court and China as the governor of Nanyang, and Wang Xuance as his deputy, that is, the history of the governor's mansion. Administrative experience, accumulate your own experience, and prepare for taking over the Governor of Nanyang in the future. "

"I don't know what my father and your family think about this proposal of this Palace?"

"What do you Ai Qing think?" Li Shimin smiled, he understood Li Zhen's meaning a little bit, but whether this matter can be accomplished or not depends on the opinions of the officials.

"This……"

To be honest, Li Zhen's proposal is very reasonable. Wang Xuance's ability is beyond doubt. The only thing he lacks is qualifications and experience. Now Li Zhen has taken a step back, not letting him be the governor, but the governor's office. Hundreds of officials really have no reason to refute - someone is not qualified enough to be the governor, so can't he still be the long history?What's more, Li Zhen, the prince, has taken a step back. Instead of taking a step back, you are pressing harder and harder. Are you planning to turn the table?

"...the ministers have no objections."

After thinking about it, the officials didn't think there was anything wrong, it was just a long history. As long as the governor got his hands, what was a mere long history?Do you believe it or not?

Only Cui Dao always felt that something was wrong, but the officials had already agreed, and he couldn't refute, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to ask: "I have no objection, but I don't know, Your Highness, who is the real Governor of Nanyang going to choose?" ?”

"I naturally have the most suitable candidate." Li Zhen said with a smile.

Seeing Li Zhen's smile, Cui Dao didn't know what was going on, and always felt a bad premonition—it seemed that he and others were cheated by Li Zhen.

"I don't know what everyone thinks, what about British Duke?" Li Zhen smiled brighter, and pointed to Li Ji.

"Me?" Li Ji himself was taken aback. I was watching the play here and did nothing. Why did he suddenly mention me?Is this the legendary lie _(:3」∠)_?

"British?"

Not only Li Ji, but all the officials were also taken aback. No one thought that Li Zhen would choose Li Ji. They knew that Li Ji was destined to follow Li Shimin back to Chang'an, and it was impossible for him to stay in Lingnan. What does it mean to see him?Are you doing something?

Seeing the unbelievable expressions of all the officials, Li Zhen's face tensed: "What? The British prince has fought for the country for decades, and has made great military achievements. Can't you do it?"

"Your Highness, calm down, I believe that everyone doesn't mean that." Li Ji took the initiative to stand up to relieve Li Zhen's worries, and he also understood what Li Zhen's plan was, so naturally Cui Dao couldn't say these words.

"It's just that your highness is also aware of the situation of the minister. The minister is already old. He suffered a lot of injuries in the early years and his health is not good. The humidity in the south is too heavy, and the old injuries have recurred several times. His health has always been poor. The Governor of Nanyang There are too many things to do, and the Nanyang Governor's Mansion is a new start-up, and I'm not humble, I really have more than enough energy, why don't you choose someone else, your Highness, I really can't do anything."

"Of course I know this. The Duke of England wants the president to cultivate himself. There is nothing wrong with that. As for the position of the governor of Nanyang...you can take it from a distance. Doesn't the imperial court have this custom?" Li Zhen suddenly asked. He changed his seriousness, and said with a playful smile: "Besides, I heard that the British Duke has also served as the governor of the Quanzhou Fleet. And take it away.”

"This... If it is a remote collar, I have no objection." Li Ji said in his heart. Sure enough, the remote collar is actually the same as the Monkey King back then. It's a decoration, not to mention being in power, you don't even need to go to the place of office, just sit in Chang'an and eat your salary in peace.

"What? Yaoling?" Cui Dao was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Zhen would play such a trick. If he had known that the governor of Nanyang would be Yaoling, how could he agree?Li Jiyao led the governor of Nanyang, which means that the position of governor has been abolished, and Chang Shi under the governor has become the actual person in power in Nanyang—and just now, he personally agreed to Chang Shi to let Wang Xuance take the position...

Chapter 975 Tianzhu?don't even give me...

Chapter 333 Tianzhu?don't even give me...

"What do you guys mean?" Li Ji agreed, and Li Zhen turned around and gave Cui Dao a triumphant look, and asked loudly on purpose.

"This..." Of course the officials were unwilling, but now that Li Ji himself agreed, who would dare to object?Are you not afraid of his revenge afterwards?This is a well-known old yin man in the Tang Dynasty, and his revenge can be said to be silent. I am afraid that those who are deceived will be deceived to death, and they don't know who deceived themselves.

"British Duke is the governor of Nanyang, so there is no problem for me. But Your Highness, the governor of Nanyang is so important, how can he take it from a distance?" Cui Dao certainly didn't want to admit defeat like this. When he rolled his eyes, he had an idea: " You must know that the Nanyang Governor's Mansion is just a start-up, and everything needs to be done by the governor himself. If it is just remote control...if something happens...it needs to be reported to Chang'an...it's inevitable..."

Li Zhen's face was a little ugly, and she interrupted directly: "Shut up, can the governor of Nanyang take it from a distance? I don't count if I say it, and you Cui Dao doesn't count, including you people. It's what the father said.

If the emperor thinks that the governor of Nanyang can be taken remotely, then naturally he can be taken remotely. If the emperor disagrees with my proposal, then this proposal will be shelved, and we will continue to discuss it.I just don't know if my father thinks... can the governor of Nanyang lead him from afar? "

"Of course I can take it from a distance." Li Shimin showed a smile on his face: "Although the Nanyang Governor's Mansion is just a start-up, there are many things, but most of them are small things, and Chang Shi is in charge. I can also believe that Wang Xuance is competent... ...Once there is a major issue in Nanyang that cannot be resolved by the Governor's Mansion, even if there is a Governor, it still needs to be reported to the court and let the court resolve it? So whether there is a Governor or not, it is actually the same."

"This……"

Such a far-fetched reason, even Li Zhen couldn't stand it anymore.However, no matter how far-fetched the reason is, it is said from the emperor's mouth, representing the words of the king, even if he disagrees in his heart, he can't object--a minister can indeed oppose the emperor before the matter is discussed, but now the emperor The tone has been set, and the matter has basically been decided. If you object at this time, you will not give the emperor face. I will call you an idiot in my heart...

"Okay, let's leave it like this. Li Jiyao is the governor of Nanyang, and Wang Xuance is the governor of Nanyang. In addition, considering the complexity of the situation in Nanyang, Chang Shi is qualified to use the governor's authority when the governor is away... Wang Xuance, What do you think?"

Wang Xuance hadn't spoken just now, but at this moment, hearing Li Shimin's question, he could no longer bear the excitement in his heart, and threw himself to the ground: "I thank the emperor for your kindness, and thank you for the recommendation of His Highness the Crown Prince. I will do my best to build Nanyang well. Turn Nanyang into Datang's granary."

How could Wang Xuance be dissatisfied?This is the governor of Nanyang. Although he is only a long history, in the absence of the governor, he is the Nanbo Bay of Nanyang. It can be said that apart from his lack of grade, he is the real emperor of Nanyang.Moreover, as the first governor of Nanyang, he doesn't even need to make any contributions. As long as Nanyang is built well, after his term of office expires, he will naturally become an upstart in the court, and it is not impossible to even become the head of the Sixth Ministry.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuance couldn't help but feel even more grateful to Li Zhen. It's been two times. The crown prince has already shown him two great favors. The first time the kindness of knowing him gave him the opportunity to show his talents. This time, the support Zhien even gave him a chance to almost step into the core of Datang's power.

He, Wang Xuance, was not a ruthless person, so he would naturally be grateful to Li Zhen, and he already regarded himself as a member of the prince's family in his heart, so he needed a little time to come to confirm.

"Okay, you don't have to thank Bengong. I recommend you because of your talent and not for other reasons. If you don't have the ability, even if you are a relative of Bengong, I won't give you any face." Li Zhen naturally felt the kindness released by Wang Xuance, and was very satisfied in her heart. This Wang Xuance is not a person who is not upright—but think about it, he can take advantage of opportunistic opportunities for the sake of superiority (knowing that Li Shimin likes the art of longevity, he entered Xiantianzhu demon monk), how could he let go of such a good opportunity to serve the prince?
