Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Feng Pavilion, inner room.

Zhang Jianzhi sat in front of the desk and looked through the list attentively. Most of them were famous direct descendants of the Supreme Emperor.

After Li Xian ascended the throne, these people would be given idle positions or transferred as usual, and then replaced by ministers who supported the new emperor.

Among them, the most ministers who were demoted and assigned were from the Fan Xin lineage.

"This Song Jing is so brave. He actually took down so many Fan Party members at once, and he wasn't afraid that the other party would come to his door."

Zhang Jianzhi smiled and shook his head, and wrote a precise word with a swipe of his pen.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and an official walked into the cabinet and said respectfully: "Mr. Zhang Ge, Song Shangshu is outside asking for an audience."

"Say Cao Cao. Cao Cao is here. Please invite him in."

Putting down the list in his hand, Zhang Jianzhi raised his head and looked at Song Jing, who was coming towards him. The latter was holding a red newspaper with an excited look on his face.

"Mr. Ge, look, Li Qingyuan killed 5,000 of the feudal clan's main force in the Qinghai Lake Formation!"

"This is the first great victory for the new king since he ascended the throne!"

"What! This is happening? Come and show me!"

Zhang Jianzhi couldn't wait to take the Tang newspaper and tore open the cover. When he saw what was written on it, he was excited.

"What a great Li Qingyuan. He is indeed one of the rare handsome men in our great Zhou Dynasty. He raped all five thousand main feudal clan members in one move!"

"This commanding ability is even inferior to that of Li Jing and Fan Xin."

Zhang Jianzhi stroked his beard and said with a smile on his face: "Since the Tang Dynasty, we have had many battles with the local feudal lords. Most of them have won but few have lost. This time we finally let out a bad breath."

"When you go to court later, you and I will tell His Majesty the good news together, and let those veterans who are loyal to the Supreme Emperor see that the court can still run without them."

"Without further delay, let's go to court right now." Zhang Jianzhi packed up the documents, got on the sedan with Song Jing and headed towards Shangyang Palace.

Shangyang Palace, main hall.

At this time, the place was full of ministers who came to discuss the affairs of the court. Since it was the first time for the new king to hold a court meeting after he ascended the throne, everyone was wearing brand-new court uniforms.

It's just that the expressions on everyone's faces are different. Some are worried, some are excited, and they all look like all living beings.

While the ministers were waiting, a chamberlain walked up to the golden platform with Fuchen in his hand and shouted in a high voice.

"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the ministers will welcome him!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the ministers straightened up, Li Xian nodded to the chamberlain, who picked up a yellow imperial edict from the tray and unfolded it slowly.

"The new dynasty has just been established, and many wastes are waiting to be revitalized. In order to show the grace of God, the name of the country is changed to Tang, and the world is pardoned. I admire this!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" The ministers bowed respectfully to Li Xian.

"Haha, dear friends, please be safe."

Li Xian sat on the dragon chair and gave him a little support, looking at Zhang Jianzhi who was in the first place.

"Mr. Zhang Ge, I see you are looking happy. Do you have any good news to announce? If you tell me, I will be happy with all the officials."

Hearing this, Zhang Jianzhi walked out of the queue and held his hands towards Li Xianggong.

"There is no wiser person than the Emperor. You are right. Fengge received a battle report from the Qinghai front line half an hour ago."

"After arriving at the frontline camp, Li Qingyuan, the general manager of the Gannan Road March and Western Region Disposal Envoy, annihilated the main force of 5,000 feudal vassals in one fell swoop and directly recaptured Dafeichuan!"

These words were like a huge stone smashing into the water, causing an uproar and all the ministers exclaimed.

You must know that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the two sides have fought countless battles, but the result is often a loss.

The only time that could really be considered a great victory was when Fan Xin was in Liangzhou.

No one expected that Li Qingyuan, a newcomer, would take back Dafeichuan just two months after he arrived. This feat is enough to be included in the annals of history.

The happiest person among everyone was Li Xian. He did not expect that Li Qingyuan was so powerful and had made such great achievements in just two months.

This is simply the best gift for yourself to ascend the throne.

Long Yan was so pleased that Li Xian said two good words to Zhang Jianzhi.

"Li Aiqing must be rewarded for his great achievements. What should I give him, Mr. Yi Ge?"

"this."

Zhang Jianzhi thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, yesterday evening I received the by-election list from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and found that the post of General Longhu is still held by Fan Xin."

"Wouldn't it be better to let Li Qingyuan shoulder this heavy burden, which would also lighten Fan Xin's burden?"

Upon hearing these words, the faces of Minister Fan Dang present changed slightly, and they exchanged glances with anger.

Li Xian hesitated for a moment, thought about it and said.

"What Mr. Ge said is true. The burden of the Tang Dynasty cannot be placed entirely on Fan Xin. Let Li Qingyuan serve as the General of Dragon and Tiger."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Seeing that Fan Xin's power was weakened by his efforts, some ministers who had a gap with him immediately jumped out.

"Your Majesty, Youzhou is an important place in the north, and the post of Governor is a top priority. I think someone should be replaced to concentrate on the post!"

"Yes, Minister Fengge, as the central deputy prime minister, should help the prime minister handle family and state affairs. Fan Xin has never been there since he took up the concurrent post. It would be better to change to another minister."

Facing the ministers' repeated attacks, Fan Dang was extremely angry, but he didn't know that the emperor had already had this idea.

"Well, Fan Xin has worked too much on state affairs. It's a good idea to take a break. Let someone else take care of it first."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left the main hall of Shangyang Palace.

After the dynasty dispersed, several ministers from the Fan family gathered together, their faces gloomy and terrifying.

"Qing Zhou Si, you are the most trusted person by the prince. What should we do about this matter?" Censor Wang Chu asked.

Zhou Tong closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and said: "As the emperor and the courtiers, this matter is probably your majesty's intention. It is beyond our control. We should send a letter to Duke Yan."

"Yes, let's go ask the Duke together, otherwise it will be our turn next!"

Everyone shouted and left Shangyang Palace together.

Luoshui Xingyuan.

Fan Xin pushed Wu Zetian in a wheelchair and walked slowly inside. Behind them were several craftsmen dressed as scholars.

"Fan Aiqing, can the oxygen machine you mentioned really be used on the plateau?"

Wu Zetian put on an oxygen mask and asked with a surprised look on her face.

"Your Majesty, the environment where the Tufan people grow up is too high, and the air above the snow-covered sacred mountain is too thin, making it difficult for our army to attack on a large scale."

"With this thing, our soldiers will greatly reduce altitude sickness and become qualified for World War I."

Fan Xin explained with a smile.

"So that's it." Wu Zetian nodded and glanced at him thoughtfully.

"I noticed that the things you mentioned recently are all related to Tufan. Do you think the imperial court will be defeated this time?"

The smile on Fan Xin's face faded, and he said seriously: "It is not that simple for Tufan to become the strongest enemy of Zhou Dynasty."
