Most of the officials were really confused at this time, but they were surprised to find that the top leaders in the court, such as Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and the core officials of the aristocratic families, seemed not surprised at all. No.

Who can get to this point and stand in the hall, who is not a human being?

Looking at it like this, I understand, it's not that they don't know, but that they didn't have the right to know before, and only these bosses know about this fierce man who suddenly appeared?

Li Shimin looked at the group of people in front of him, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, then looked at Changsun Wuji and said,

"Auxiliary machine, all the ministers are not familiar with my brother-in-law. You have had a lot of contact with me. Come and introduce me, so that you won't be able to discuss it later."

Changsun Wuji bowed his hands to promise, walked slowly to the center, turned around and looked at his colleagues standing in the court hall, took a breath and said slowly,

"Zhang Nuo, a person from Chang'an, his parents are deceased. His father was originally the commander of the Qin Palace's soldiers, but he left due to disability. Zhang Nuo is now nineteen years old, with both civil and military skills. His Majesty's commoner friend!"

"At that time, in order to solve the shortage of internal funds and the national treasury, Zhang's winery was established. Now it is the best and best-selling wine in Datang. Through this, His Majesty has enriched the internal funds a lot."

"Later, Zhang Nuo created Zhang's Bookstore, which sold books and paper at a low price, enabling many poor students to read and write. He also created a newspaper to be distributed all over the world, enlightening people's wisdom, and even published "Zhang Nuo's Poetry Collection" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" The two books must be familiar to all of you ministers."

If these people in the court were still a little unfamiliar with the previous things, if they talked about "Zhang Nuo's Poetry Collection" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", no one would say that they didn't know.

After all, those who can stand in the court these days, not to mention all of them are masters of poetry, but they are definitely several levels higher than Chutong Wenmo.

Therefore, if you haven't read "Zhang Nuo's Anthology of Poems" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which are sold like crazy in Chang'an, you probably won't be able to get along in the workplace.

After all, when everyone is discussing, you are like an idiot who doesn't know anything. If you don't need to be squeezed out, you will feel out of place.

It is precisely because of this reason that when these people found out that Zhang Nuo, who they had secretly admired and envied for a long time, actually had the identity of the emperor's righteous brother and the emperor's adopted son, they suddenly became oh .

Each person's voice is actually not loud, just to listen to yourself, but when so many people gather together and say "oh" in unison, the movement is a little different.

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes immediately, and the aura of being the chief assistant of the court immediately came out, and everyone shrunk their necks unconsciously.

Changsun Wuji looked at the silence of the crowd, and sighed silently in his heart, you bastards are so surprised, there is still a lot to say, what are you going to do later.

He knew what Li Shimin meant by asking him to come out to introduce Zhang Nuo. Zhang Nuo obviously belonged to the purest emperor's faction, so the emperor's introduction, even if it was a golden eloquence, would inevitably be a bit boastful.

But when his eldest grandson Wuji came to introduce him, it was different. One thing he knew what to say and what not to say, and the other was that when he opened his mouth to introduce, it was equivalent to his eldest grandson Wuji's endorsement with his own reputation.

He knew all of this, but when Li Shimin made this request yesterday, he readily agreed.

If it was someone else, even the emperor who spoke, he would hesitate or even refuse.

However, if it was Zhang Nuo, his eldest grandson Wuji was willing to take the risk.

Not only because of talent and relationship with the royal family, but also what he values ​​most, that is age.

Zhang Nuo is only nineteen this year, so what kind of glory will such a person who can build in the emperor's heart at such a weak age have in the future?

Even though his eldest grandson Wuji is glorious, he is a servant and uncle of the country, how many years might he be glorious?

People have misfortunes and blessings, if his eldest grandson Wuji falls, who will support his heirs?

He might not know who to choose before, but after Zhang Nuo appeared, he immediately felt that this person who is not greedy for power and position, but can advise the emperor on everything, is the best candidate.

If you are not greedy for power and position, you will not fall into court disputes, but the relationship with the emperor is still there, and your talent is still there, so you will never lose your influence on the court.

Such a person is really suitable to save the life of the grandson's family at a critical moment!

Therefore, Changsun Wuji took over the job without hesitation, and he wanted to make a good relationship.

Chapter 374

Changsun Wuji's introduction to Zhang Nuo finally continued after the uproar just now, and then there was no more.

Except for a few people in the court, everyone else was dumbfounded.

Isn't today the monarch and ministers discussing national affairs and listening to stories told by the grandson Pushe instead?

Why does this Nima sound so mysterious?

Wen Neng can write famous articles through the ages, Wu Neng can defeat the three great generals of the court one-on-one, can help His Majesty make suggestions, and can make money while making that thing called gunpowder. The beast called the newspaper.

Not satisfied with this, he turned around and took out three kinds of fairy grains with yields ten times higher than existing crops, as well as the latest and best military training methods.

Even if these things are viewed separately, they are already amazing enough, not to mention that they are still concentrated on one person, which is a bit unbearable.

What is even more unacceptable is that it was a 19-year-old youth who accomplished all this.

Does this mean that people feel that they have lived a little bit like dogs?

Therefore, there was a rare silence in the hall!

Everyone was silently digesting what they had just heard, and at the same time secretly began to think about how the rise of such a big man who was obviously close to His Majesty would bring about changes in the court.

Not only they were thinking, but even those family officials who knew about Zhang Nuo before were frowning and pondering at this moment, this damn is different from what the family said.

The children of these aristocratic families naturally knew about Zhang Nuo. After all, they had such a fierce fight with the Wang family before, so it would be strange if they didn't know.

But what they can know is nothing more than the industry on the surface, so how do you think there are so many things in private?

Changsun Wuji looked at everyone who had been shocked, secretly laughed twice, and said seriously,

"Now the Supreme Emperor has settled outside the city, practicing martial arts with Mr. Zhang every day, and walking around. If you want to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor in the future, you can send invitations by yourself!"

If what happened to Zhang Nuo before was surprising and unbelievable, then what happened to Li Yuan just mentioned is beyond comprehension.

Who doesn't know that the one sitting on the dragon chair is the one who killed his brother and imprisoned his father to snatch the throne?

In the impression of most courtiers, the Supreme Emperor was put under house arrest in the palace. What does this mean now?

Your Majesty reconciled with the Supreme Emperor?Or did the Supreme Emperor use some method to come out by himself?

There is too much uncertain information here. After all, it involves the change of the throne, or the various grievances and hatreds between two generations of emperors and fathers and sons. How can ordinary people dare to covet and peep at it?

Everyone thought about it happily for a while, and suddenly their faces fell down. They secretly thought about finding a time to visit the Supreme Emperor first, and then talk about other things.

If it is true that the father and son reconciled, then according to their previous relationship with the Supreme Emperor, they might be able to follow the old man's route in the future.

Although Changsun Wuji was not a roundworm in the stomachs of this group of people, he was a good person anyway. He naturally knew what these people were thinking, but he didn't care anymore.

He can't even hide from these things, and he won't move forward at all, so let His Majesty worry about them.

The introduction of Zhang Nuo was basically over here. Changsun Wuji bowed his hands to Li Shimin and returned to his seat.

Li Shimin looked at the group of people in front of him, and asked in a deep voice,

"All the ministers now know the background and achievements of the righteous brother, so what do you think of this achievement? I don't know how to reward him properly?"

All the courtiers, you look at me and I look at yours, but none of them is willing to speak out.

Because this matter is very simple, if it is an old man in the court.In other words, even if they are not in the imperial court, the middle and low-level officials who work in the yamen are more or less a lot of relatives and old friends, and they can always involve some relationships.

If you talk to me today, I might be able to talk to you tomorrow. This bridal sedan chair is carried by everyone, and the emperor has said that he will be rewarded. At this time, being a villain will offend the rewarded and the rewarded. emperor?

But the key question came out, this group of people are not familiar with Zhang Nuo, let alone friendship, they have never met in person, so they want to help others out?At that time, this promise is so arrogant, so what if he turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone?

Moreover, all the speeches in the court these years, especially those involving personnel changes, can be said to be extremely careful, because everything is ultimately jointly and severally responsible.

Everyone really doesn't have the slightest friendship with Zhang Nuo, it's strange that they are willing to talk!

However, if they didn't say it, some people would say that Du Ruhui, who was the most active in wooing Zhang Nuo, hadn't spoken yet, and Wei Zheng stepped forward first.

"Your Majesty, I think that according to the current merits of Mr. Zhang, it is better not to include the fairy food because it has not been harvested yet, and the other achievements are counted together. I think that the honorary county male More appropriate!"

"When the harvest of fairy food is really bumper in the future, His Majesty will definitely spread the fairy food to the world, and it would be better to reward it separately at that time!"

"At the same time, the humble servant is trusted by His Majesty to take charge of the newspaper, but he works hard every day and walks on thin ice. Now that the identity of Mr. Zhang has been revealed, can Mr. Zhang take charge of the newspaper?"

"This minister is willing to abdicate for the virtuous, to act as a deputy, and to study hard after Master Xiao Zhang!"

Li Shimin shook his head after listening, and said seriously,

"Wei Qing has worked so hard. I understand that you have worked really hard for the newspaper. However, as for the reward you mentioned just now, it is feasible to confer the title of county baron first, and wait for the celestial food to mature."

"However, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper can only be done by you. My foster brother is lazy. I have asked him to become an official in the court many times, but he is unwilling, so I will not force him."

Wei Zheng's face darkened, Nima, why don't you want to, hurry up and take over such a good position.

He has indeed been very popular recently, not to mention the whole world, at least all the scholars in Chang'an know his name Wei Zheng.

However, the more this is the case, the more he is walking on thin ice!

The influence of the newspaper has really become more and more obvious, and now it is in its third issue, with a circulation of nearly 20 copies.

Countless readers will now buy a copy of the newspaper as soon as it is released, or even take home several copies.

Recently, Wei Zheng sometimes has similar nightmares at night, dreaming that he is being reviled by thousands of people, saying that he is helping the evildoers and so on.

Originally, I thought that Zhang Nuo should be the best picker, but no one thought that Li Shimin refused Zhang Nuo before he even went there, alas!

Chapter 375

The final result of the discussion in the court was that when Zhang Nuo returned to the court, he would probably be able to obtain the title of county baron and successfully join the top noble group of this era.

Of course, due to the early establishment of the Tang Dynasty, all civil servants and military generals who have made meritorious service have already received awards.

Therefore, the baronship of a county is probably only a little bit bigger than an ant in Chang'an City.

After all, in the city of Chang'an, where the dukes and county kings ran all over the place, and the princes lined up, the county men were really not very good.

However, despite the fact that there are still many big bosses on the top of the head, it seems very inconspicuous.But in fact, the county baronship alone has already made most people thirsty with envy.

It's a pity that it's useless to be envious. Nowadays, most of the nobles in the Tang Dynasty are heroes who came along with the old Li's family. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are very few who have been awarded with new merits. Now there is one more.

After talking about Zhang Nuo's reward, Li Shimin began to arrange other things.

For example, sending Changsun Wuji to Youzhou to appease the rioters, exempting Youzhou from taxes for three years and some other things, it seems that Li Shimin has already discussed these matters with Changsun Wuji, but after all, it still needs the cooperation of multiple yamen to implement them.

Therefore, such matters that have a greater impact will be passed through the court.

After all the scattered things are over, the whole court meeting is really over.

Li Shimin left first, and then all the courtiers came out in groups of three or four, but it seemed that they were talking about dinner appointments and drinking appointments someday, but in fact, their little eyes were flying away.

Changsun Wuji had already walked out quickly, he had to get ready to go, and he had to go to the household department to allocate money and food.

On the other hand, Wang Jishan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, walked slowly in the palace alone, no one bothered to pay attention to him, and walked alone with a gloomy expression.

Today, he is simply cold all over.

It turns out that the Zhuangzi he made up his mind about is really where Li Yuan lives now;

It turned out that the humble kid he wanted to target was actually deeply tied to the royal family.

One wrong step and one wrong step. This time, the Wang family not only exposed their own private soldiers, but also lost more than 1000 people. What's more, Zhang Nuo had already used the head view on his door to tell Without him, the two families are already immortal.

Wang Jishan sighed deeply, and looked back at the Taiji Hall that he had been looking at for several years, and suddenly felt that the tall and majestic palace was actually a unicorn entrenched there.

It seems immovable as a mountain, but in fact he has already been staring at him, maybe one day he will swallow his whole family in one gulp.

Wang Jishan shook his head silently, a family is a family after all, and a dynasty is a dynasty after all.

Although ordinary people and those juniors in their families who have never seen the world, they are all shouting about a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family.

But in fact, as long as they are the core members of the family, or as long as they are insightful people in the family, they actually understand that the dynasty and the family can pass on for thousands of years. It's a family.

After all, no matter how famous the family is, no matter how rich it is, it is not the opponent of a complete country. When the confrontation reaches a certain level, forcing the dynasty to use the power of the whole country to resist it, it will actually be the finale .

In fact, Wang Jishan himself is very aware of this point. He even knows that if Li Shimin really wants to kill the family, if he wants to deal ruthlessly with his Taiyuan Wang family, what is the power of the whole country? .

It's just that Li Shimin is concerned about the stability of the court and his own reputation, so he has been fighting with the family in a certain circle.

But don't underestimate the cruelty of an emperor who dared to kill his brother and imprison his father to seize the throne. He was really in a hurry. Killing a family is definitely much easier than Xuanwumen.

After all, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty killed a lot of people in order to clear up the southern aristocratic family!

Are those families in the south that have been passed down for many years worse than them?

Not only is it not bad, but some hidden strengths are even more terrifying than his Taiyuan royal family, but they still cannot escape the sharp blade of the dynasty, and finally end up with a broken family.

But what can he do?

Those who should be offended have already been offended, even if they bow their heads and admit defeat at this moment, I am afraid that neither Li Shimin nor the kid surnamed Zhang will let go.

Wang Jishan took one last look at the Tai Chi Hall, finally turned around and walked slowly towards the outside of the palace, but his old waist, which was still a little hunched just now, is straight now.

Taiyuan Wang's family is actively or passively planning to go all the way to the dark, but Lu's family is different!

As an aristocratic family that had long wanted to open the gap in transformation from the royal family and Zhang Nuo, after receiving the news from the court today, all the elders and the head of the family got together to discuss it immediately.

Today's news may be a catastrophe for the Wang family, but it is a great opportunity for the Lu family.

After all, they had already made an agreement to marry Zhang Nuo a few days ago, and the others followed the dragon and the Lu family followed the tiger. There were too many dirty things in the royal family, and they might have caused some kind of murder.

But Zhang Nuo's situation is different here. It's not the kind of real power to support a prince with a different surname to death, but his influence is absolutely reliable.
