Chapter 952 A painstaking effort
Tiger poison does not eat seeds.
Besides, in Li Shimin's eyes, Chengqian did not commit any outrageous acts, just a little rebellious, but this is only a small problem after all. Even in his opinion, Chengqian at this age, having been a prince for ten years, has actually done well enough.
"Sanlang, why don't you stay in Chang'an and be the Minister of Chang'an Xingtai?"
Qin Lang still refused.
Right now, Chengqian is a bit indifferent, it's useless to talk about great principles at this time, Qin Lang, a good teacher and helpful friend in the past, may be disgusted by this, and this young man has to bump into the wall and fall, He had to fall painfully so that he could understand some truths instead of being reasoned with.
So Qin Lang doesn't want to mix in now, but just watch from the sidelines. He still supports the prince and will help the prince remove some obstacles, but now he wants to keep some distance from Cheng Qian temporarily.
Cheng Qian felt that he was an adult now, he didn't want to be disciplined like a child anymore, and he no longer listened to Qin Lang's eldest grandson Wuji's teachings as before, he began to have his own thoughts, which is normal, puberty Well.
After all, he is just an eighteen-year-old young man.
"I was ordered to manage Lingnan, and now is also a critical period. I want to have a beginning and an end, and stabilize Lingnan for the saint. Otherwise, when the saint starts to collect the two captives in the north a few years later, Lingnan can't be messed up. leg!"
Li Shimin frowned seeing Qin Lang's firm attitude.
"Don't always try to hide and be idle, I know you are smart, and knowing that staying to assist Chengqian may destroy your previous relationship, but I can't just let me be the bad guy?"
"If Your Majesty is reluctant to let Mr. Fang stay to assist you, you have to choose one or two senior ministers who are highly respected to stay behind. Otherwise, only Donggong Zhang Xuansu, Yu Zhining, Li Baiyao, Chu Suiliang and others will not be able to restrain the crown prince. I recommend Yang Gongren, Xiao Yu, Yuwen Shiji, Li Jing, Chen Shuda, Gao Shilian, Li Daozong, etc., are all veterans of the Tang Dynasty, or elders of the clan, if they stay in Chang'an and assist the crown prince, they will not dare to do anything wrong."
Before Cheng Qian didn’t get along well with Zhang Xuansu and Yu Zhining, the East Palace officials, and didn’t have much respect for these officials, so if they were to assist, Cheng Qian might become a runaway wild horse.
Yang Gongren and others are all prime ministers, some of them are even prime ministers of the Wude and Zhenguan dynasties.
And Li Jing was also famous for his military achievements, and his prestige was extremely high.
Gao Shilian is the prince's uncle, and Li Daozong is also the prince's uncle.
So if they come to stay behind, the prince will definitely not dare to mess around. On the other hand, most of these veterans are still at home, so it is not bad to pull them out and give full play to their residual heat.
Even in a disguised form, some ministers who need to be moved can be arranged to Xijing Xingtai. For example, Wang Gui and Yang Shidao.
"Forget it."
Li Shimin thought about it carefully, and felt that it was a wise move for Qin Lang not to stay and meddle. Forcing him to stay in Beijing right now, it would be bad if Cheng Qian turned against Qin Lang. Those who come to assist Chengqian will even be reserved for Chengqian's prime minister candidate in the future.
This relationship still needs to be done well.
As for the two-capital system, especially the small imperial court in Xijing, it is quite novel. In fact, there is nothing special about its function, but after changing its name, it looks different.
It can highlight the significance of the prince staying behind, and may even dispel some people's random suspicions. At the same time, the official positions of the three provinces and six ministries in Xijing can indeed be used to place the elders.
"Xijing stays at Xingtai, I think it can not only manage the affairs of Chang'an and Jingzhao Mansion, but even manage the Guanlong area."
The Guanlong area is a big geographical concept, specifically referring to Guanzhong and Longyou, but Guanzhong also subcontracts Shuofang Hetao, and Longyou subcontracts Hexi, Western Regions, and Qinghai.
If the previous concept of Guanlong is used, it is equivalent to the land west of Tongguan, all of which belong to Guanlong, so it will be a big place to control.
Qin Lang asked, and Li Shimin really intended to hand over the entire Daguanlong to the Xijing Xingtai, which is equivalent to a super big Guanlong Daxingtai.
However, Qin Lang still felt that this step was too big, "I suggest that Xijing Xingtai should only take care of the Guanzhong area, Chang'an Jingji and Shuofang Hetao. No matter how big it is, it may not be able to manage it."
Li Shimin thinks about it, but it makes sense. If the entire west of Tongguan is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Xingtai, it is equivalent to delimiting the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, and that is a key area.
"Too."
Regarding the status of Xijing Xingtai, the monarchs and ministers exchanged opinions for a while, and finally decided that it is equivalent to the dispatched agencies of the three central provinces and six ministries, and the three provinces and six ministries of Xijing are directly under the control of the East Palace.
This is equivalent to setting up a special division on top of Guannei Road, Shuofang Road and Monan Road, which is actually similar to some Daxingtai established at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the imperial court successively set up the Daxingtai of Shandong Road, Daxingtai of Hebei Road, and Daxingtai of Yizhou Road, etc., under the command of Xingtai Shangshuling, and there were also six Shangshu under Xingtai.
This time Chang'an Xingtai is more comprehensive.
"Are you really going back to Lingnan?"
"There is a beginning and an end."
Li Shimin snorted, secretly scolded Qin Lang for being slippery, but didn't bother him any further.
"Then who is suitable to do the Prince Zhan's affairs and Chang'an Shangshuling?"
"Gao Xianggong, or Xiao Xianggong is fine."
Li Shimin pondered for a while, "Gao Shilian was appointed as Prince Zhan and Chang'an Shangshu Ling, Zhang Xuansu was Shao Zhan, Xiao Yu was Chang'an's attendant and Zuo Shuzi, and Yu Zhining was also Zuo Shuzi.
Yang Gongren was the secretary of Chang'an and the son of the right concubine, and Du Zhenglun was also the son of the right concubine.
Wang Gui was the minister of the Chang'an Ministry of Officials, Li Daozong was the minister of the Chang'an Military Department, Xu Jingzong was the minister of the Chang'an Household Department, Duan Lun was the minister of the Chang'an Ministry of Industry, Dou Dan was the minister of the Chang'an Ministry of Rites, and Li Baiyao was the minister of the Chang'an Ministry of Punishment.
Some key positions in Chang'an Xingtai were selected by Li Shimin himself.
Veterans of martial arts such as Liu Hongji, Li Xiaogong, and Samurai Xun were also awarded the title of General of the Twelve Guards of Chang'an Xingtai by Li Shimin.
As for Chang'an Xingtai Jiuqing, they are basically the uncles of the prince Chengqian.
Anyway, the officials of the Xingtai small court in Chang'an were either respected elders like Yuwenshi and Yang Gongren, or degraded prime ministers like Wang Gui.
Either it is close or expensive.
However, although most of these people have been excluded from the power center of the Tang Dynasty, they are still quite strong in terms of ability, and their connections, prestige, and influence are still very strong.
Therefore, this Chang'an Xingtai small imperial court is actually a very luxurious team, which is equivalent to a major upgrade for Chengqian's East Palace team.
The emperor gave Chengqian a bigger place to practice his hands. It is no longer limited to Jingzhao, but the entire Guanzhong area. Although Chang'an Xingtai is still under the jurisdiction of the Luoyang court, it belongs to a higher level than the state road after all. Still big.
Li Shimin was heartbroken because of his rebellious son.
Gao Shilian, who had just been awarded the title of Shangshu Youpushe, was changed to the post of Prince Zhan Shi, and Chang'an Xingtai Shangshuling, this right servantshe was vacated again.
Li Shimin asked Qin Lang with a smile.
"Your Majesty makes his own decision, why bother to ask your ministers." Qin Lang himself stopped checking the school's book order, and he still cares about the Shangshu Youpushe.
Besides, Li Shimin is notoriously likes to toss the prime ministers, and is a small expert in micromanagement.
The system of group prime ministers has been carried forward in his hands, and it has become a system for other officials to serve as prime ministers. They are messed around. All of this is actually not to weaken the prime minister's power and strengthen the emperor's control over the center.
So the selection of the prime minister, in fact, the ministers all know it well and are too lazy to intervene. Anyway, the emperor always has his own ideas.
Sure enough, Li Shimin was not polite, he was really just asking.
"So Yang Shidao was transferred to Zhong Shuling, Wei Zheng was still serving as a servant, and Changsun Wuji shot as Shang Shu's right servant. In fact, Ma Zhou's ability is quite good, but after all, he lacks qualifications. Cen Wenwen's writing is good. It is more appropriate to stay in the Imperial Academy."
Li Shimin seemed to be talking to himself, but Qin Lang didn't answer. He had a very good relationship with Zhongshu servant Ma Zhou. In addition, Cui Gan, the servant of Huangmen, used to be called Cui Mingan. He was the uncle of Qin Qiong's wife and brother Cui Dunli, but Qin Lang didn't There is no intention to recommend two people to be Zhongshuling.
Because he knew that Li Shimin would not agree, so he didn't bother to commit cronyism again.
The emperor smiled and seemed to be enjoying it.
In the morning Fang Xuanling resumed Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and just added Prince Zhan Shi, but changed it again at noon.
"I miss you writing!"
Li Shimin is very proud with his hands behind his back.
Qin Lang picked up the pen.
Fang Xuanling is the left servant, Changsun Wuji is the right servant, Yang Shidao is the order of Zhongshu, and Wei Zheng is the servant.
Zhongshu servants Ma Zhou, Linghu Defen, Huangmen servants Cui Gan, Liu Wei.
Cui Dun worshiped as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Li Daliang was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and Tang Jian was Minister of the Ministry of Households.
Qin Lang, who had just been added as the inspector, retains the title of inspector.
When he walked out of the Tai Chi Palace, Qin Lang's title grew a bit longer.
He is now the third division of Yitong, the Kaifu of the Tang Dynasty, Sikong, the prince Taishi, the secretary of the school, the governor of Guangzhou Zhujun, the governor of Guangzhou, the governor of Wu'an Prefecture, the governor of Wu'an Prefecture, At the same time, the envoy Chijie Dudu supervised the military affairs in the south of the town, and the governor of Jiaozhou.
Qin Lang no longer feels much about this long string of titles.
Chang’an, I’ll leave it to them. I’d better go back to Lingnan and continue to clean up the Nanman, and start my own business. When Chengqian touches his head and knows the pain, he will come back.
Just now Li Shimin said that he would adopt Li Xiang under the name of the Su family and let the Su family raise him as his eldest grandson. This matter has not been discussed with Cheng Qian at all, and it is estimated that it will be a mess in the future.
Never mind him, who isn’t like this, he’s been back to Chang’an for so long, and his family’s sons are still living with him.
Qin Lang planned to go back and have a good talk with Yu Xiao and the others. This time he went south, he might as well take them and their children with him. He could stay in Guangzhou with him, or send them directly to the feudal Wu'an Prefecture.
Go home, call the women, and talk about the matter.
Unexpectedly, except for Yu Xuanji, who was a little hesitant, the other group of women were very happy to agree, and they all said that they would go to Guangzhou with Saburo.
"When they arrive in Guangzhou, the children will also have the opportunity to get closer to Saburo, so they won't be so famous anymore."
Qin Lang looked at Yu Xuanji, "What about you?"
"Since the sisters are all going, I will naturally go south with everyone and Sanlang." Yu Xuanji affirmed, "It's just that Sanlang has just received an order from the school, and just now I heard that the sage ordered to move the capital to Luoyang, and we are still discussing Pack your luggage and prepare to go to Luoyang, why are you heading south again?"
Qin Lang smiled, "A sage is the sky, and it's not uncommon for the celestial phenomena to change at will. Since they all plan to go south with me, let's start packing up. We will leave in three days."
