Taiwei's Mansion.

"Grandpa! I heard you have retired?"

Changsun Yan ran to the back hall with a sweat on his head. He didn't even bother knocking on the door, so he walked in and looked at Changsun Wuji who was reading a book in shock.

Changsun Wuji put down the book, nodded first, and then asked with a smile: "Yan'er, do you think grandpa is right or wrong in doing this."

"Sun--the grandson doesn't know."

Changsun Yan said with a little guilty look.

Changsun Wuji laughed and said, "You boy, haven't told the truth. Okay, this matter has come to an end. You can stay in the training camp with peace of mind. Don't be scruples anymore. Grandpa hopes that you can contribute to the Tang Dynasty in the future and continue the glory of our Changsun family."

He knew in his heart that Changsun Yan had always been unhappy with his control of the government. This was contrary to the way of the ruler and the subject, and this was the only reason why Changsun Yan was unwilling to enter the official career, because he had already predicted that Changsun Wuji might have a conflict with Li Zhi. If he had entered the court as an official from the beginning, once Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi had a head-on conflict, would he be filial or loyal? This made him very embarrassed. Now that Changsun Wuji retired, Changsun Yan would have relaxed and would no longer have any burden. He could fully display his ambitions.

Therefore, Changsun Yan must also hope to see this situation.

Just then, the fat housekeeper came over and said, "Master, the Minister of Revenue is here."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Please invite him in."

Changsun Yan was slightly stunned and said, "Grandpa, grandson will take his leave first."

Changsun Wuji nodded.

After a while, Gao Luxing, dressed in a blanket, walked in and bowed, "I have met my brother."

Changsun Wuji laughed: "Wenmin, I expected you to come."

Gao Fuxing smiled awkwardly.

"Sit, sit."

After Gao Luxing sat down, Changsun Wuji said, "Wenmin, you can't retreat."

A very simple and clear sentence.

Gao Luxing was stunned, as if he didn't expect Changsun Wuji to be so direct. He stumbled twice before sighing: "Brother, isn't this my power to control? After this, Your Majesty may have suspicion of me. The position of Minister of Revenue is crucial. Even if I don't want to, Your Majesty will definitely find a way to get me out of the Ministry of Revenue. Then why don't I retire now? Besides, I'm not young anymore."

He was a wise man and had long seen the essence of this matter. Now that Li Zhi is in power, he felt that he had no need to stay in this dynasty emperor and a minister. More importantly, the emperor did not trust you, and there was no point in this official position. The old nobles of the Gao family must not be short of money. He was the Minister of Revenue for so many years, but he never received a penny. Once Changsun Wuji retired, this fat lack was not so important to him.

Changsun Wuji sighed: "Wenmin! I retreated not to admit defeat, but just for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. If I were there, the court would definitely intensify the division. Now that Your Majesty has grown up, I should also return the power to Your Majesty. As for Zuo Pushe's retirement, the same is true. But the Ministry of Revenue is very important to the country. If the Ministry of Revenue is in chaos, the country will be in chaos. If we old men are still watching, then you can do it if you really don't want to do it. But now we have all retreated, if you leave again, the Ministry of Revenue may fall into the hands of the traitors like Li Yi Mansion. However, the country's finances will definitely become a mess. This is the salary of the king, and you can work harder for the king."

Gao Fuxing said: "But this is not something I can decide."

Changsun Wuji laughed: "Don't worry, there are so many ministers left in the court all at once, and there are only a handful of people who can use Your Majesty. You have always managed the Ministry of Revenue in an orderly manner. Your Majesty will never let you retire again. If there is a suitable candidate, you can do it yourself."

He could not let Gao Luxing go, because in the future, the representatives of Guanlong Group will go to the Ministry of Revenue. He must let Gao Luxing ensure the integrity of the Ministry of Revenue. In this way, Han Yi will be able to play a role.

Of course, Gao Luxing didn't know this, but Changsun Wuji said so, and he was not inconvenient to say anything. He nodded and said, "Okay!" But he was also planning to do so. As long as there was a little disturbance, he immediately submitted a request to retire.

At this time, Li Zhi was happy and painful. On the one hand, he was completely in power, and all the ministers who relied on their seniority retreated, but on the other hand, he would go to find such ministers to make up for it in a while.

It is urgent to promote new talents as soon as possible.

On this day, he summoned the four great Vajras to Liangyi Hall to discuss matters.

The topic discussed is definitely personnel transfer.

Speaking of this, the first thing that comes to mind is Han Yi. Han Yi has the greatest potential and is about the same age as him and can grow up together. If you start training from now on, you may be able to achieve the tacit understanding of Lee Shimin and Changsun Wuji. Moreover, the grand ambitions and great achievements that Han Yi planned for him were very consistent with his ambitions and was also a confidant. Of course, he hoped that Han Yi could help him welcome the arrival of the Lee Ji era, so he couldn't wait to promote Han Yi so that Han Yi could participate more in the government affairs.

But what Li Zhi always thought of was the Censorate, because he thought that it was too formal to work and Han Yi could not do it. The Censorate did was to supervise all officials, which could give Han Yi great room to play and said to Cui Yi-hyun: "Cui Aiqing, in the past month, Han Yi can be said to have made great contributions. I hope to be promoted to Han Yi as the Chief Censor. I wonder what my Aiqing thinks?"

Cui Yixuan didn't expect it and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Xu Jingzong immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this move must not be done!"

Han Yi wanted to laugh when he heard this. You are really worried about me!

Li Zhi frowned and said majesticly: "Why not?" There was a hint of warning in his words. Now with my order, millions of heads fell to the ground!

He thought that this is a very good opportunity, because Wu Meiniang had just become the queen, and his imperial power had been shown, and all the ministers in the court were frightened. Now no one would be disturbed if he was promoted. At the same time, it can also be explained that Li Zhi also understood that Han Yi had already received great favors and was difficult to promote it in normal times.

But whenever it comes to Han Yi, Xu Jingzong tried his best to stop it. Apart from Changsun Wuji, the one he hated the most was Han Yi. He should have not noticed it and said: "Your Majesty, although the old ministers also agree to the emphasis on Han Yi, Han Yi was so young that he was already the royal envoy and the censor of the Censor, and held considerable real power. This is something that our dynasty has never seen since its founding. Many ministers are already dissatisfied with it. If Your Majesty promotes Han Yi at this moment, it will only cause greater dissatisfaction. The situation in the court has just calmed down. If someone fanned the flames around, it may lead to new chaos."

Li Yifu was jealous of Han Yi. When he saw that Li Zhi was about to promote Han Yi from the beginning, he became even more jealous and said, "Your Majesty, I also agree with Xu Shangshu's words. If Your Majesty is promoted to the Chief Censor of the Censor, it will only attract more jealousy. This will not be good for the Special Envoy and will cause the Special Envoy to be even more excluded. You should not be anxious about this matter. Your Majesty should also consider it carefully."

Han Yi laughed secretly, I'm afraid you are the one who jealous of me the most.

When Cui Yi-hyun saw that both of them were opposed, he felt that Han Yi and their Qinghe Cui had always had grudges, and it was really awkward to let Han Yi be the deputy, so he also stood up and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the ability of the special envoy is indeed beyond reproach, but he is still young and has not made convincing contributions. He is promoted to the Chief Censor of the Censor. I am afraid that the ministers will not be convinced. The old ministers think that the special envoy is still young and can first let him practice in the Civil Security Bureau for a period of time, and then promote him when the time is right."

Li Zhi glanced at the three of them and knew very well that they said this more or less because of their selfishness. He was a little unhappy. In fact, he had always hoped that Han Yi had a good relationship with them, just to support Han Yi to get ahead. He didn't know that their relationship became more and more tense, and he was unwilling to speak for Han Yi.

However, their words do make sense. Now that he has just begun to take power, he will use a person whom everyone does not agree with. Han Yi not only comes from a poor family, but also offended most of the powerful people in the court. Then someone will definitely say, you see, once the emperor leaves his uncle, he starts to mess around. In addition, Cui Yi-hyun doesn't agree, so Han Yi will probably be difficult to be reused if he goes there.

However, he wanted to be promoted to Han Yi very much and said to Han Yi: "Han Yi, what do you think about it yourself?" There was a hint of encouragement in his words, as if he was hinting Han Yi, what would you guarantee, and I would be promoted to you immediately.

But Han Yi doesn't want to go to the Censorate now. He wants to go to the Ministry of Revenue, where there is money, and all Guanlong Groups stand up and said, "Your Majesty, I think Doctor Cui and the others are right. I am too young and have no contributions. I have experience, so the Censor General is difficult to be competent. Your Majesty should put the overall situation first. I am still young and have some opportunities."

Han Yi said this more than once. Even if it was a lie or a person who always said it would become the truth. Li Zhicha felt guilty about Han Yi. At the critical moment, Han Yi was always turning the tide. However, among the four great King Kongs, they are all above the fourth grade, but Han Yi is still paced back and forth at the threshold of the sixth grade. Now he is in power, and he really can't find an excuse not to promote Han Yi. Therefore, Han Yi's selflessness makes him feel even more guilty.

Han Yi said this just because he felt very guilty and felt that he owed him what he owed him, so it would be easier to enter the Ministry of Revenue in the future.

Speaking of the Censor Central Chief, Cui Yixuan suddenly thought of someone coming and said, "Your Majesty, I am a very good candidate, enough to be the Censor Central Chief."

Li Zhi frowned and said, "I don't know who it is?"

"Wein's promise."

"Wein's promise?"

Li Zhi frowned slightly, not yet remembering who was here.

Cui Yixuan said: "This man was born in the Wei family of Jingzhao. He is upright and serious, and he was originally a censor. He was not afraid of the powerful and impeached Chu Suiliang to buy other people's land at a low price. However, he later attracted revenge from Chu Suiliang and was demoted to another place."

Their nobles still recommend nobles. Even if they are not from their own family, it is better than those who are poor.

When it comes to impeachment of Chu Suiliang, Li Zhi suddenly remembered that it was because of Wei Ren's impeachment that Chu Suiliang was directly demoted, but that time he was demoted was only symbolic. Li Zhi could not leave Chu Suiliang at that time, so after Chu Suiliang returned to Chang'an, he immediately demoted Wei Ren from Chang'an.

This is a very good candidate. He comes from a famous family, is talented, and is not afraid of power. He mainly has a grudge against Chu Suiliang and can be reused.

But Li Zhi seemed a little hesitant.

Xu Jingzong thought to himself that Cui Yixuan was old and probably wouldn't live for a few years. Li Zhi repeatedly wanted to push Han Yi to the position of Chief Censor of the Censor, just to let Han Yi take over Cui Yixuan's rank, and the Censor was to monitor them. This was too important. He felt that if Han Yi became the Censor, they would suffer. If Wei Ren made an appointment as Chief Censor, he would cut off Han Yi's promotion path. Han Yi should not think about it, and his education level was not enough, so he quickly came out to agree.

Li Yifu also came out to agree.

What they did not expect was that Han Yi also stood up and said: "Your Majesty should put national affairs first, and the Wei Minister also believes that Wei Renyou is a very suitable candidate."

Li Zhi looked at Han Yi and was very moved. He felt that Han Yi could always put national interests and his interests first. At present, he really needed to promote a group of people. He thought to himself that anyway, it would be a foregone conclusion to promote Han Yi. Let's get through this difficulty first. So he agreed.

Li Yi's Mansion and Xu Jingzong breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Jingzong was out of old grudges and looked down on Han Yi, while Li Yifu was out of jealousy, because he could see that Li Zhi had extraordinary trust in Han Yi and he had to suppress Han Yi.

Little did he know that this was exactly what Han Yi wanted, and Han Yi didn't want to stand aside with them at all. Han Yi thought that it was the entire Guanlong Group. He had to be careful of being under the influence of his own people at all times, and he would have no future.

When Li Zhi returned to the harem, he informed Wu Meiniang about the matter.

Wu Meiniang was also very depressed after hearing this. He was eager to promote Han Yi. In her opinion, Han Yi was her confidant and said, "I have heard of Wei Ren's appointment. It is indeed a good candidate. But Han Yi made great contributions to His Majesty. If he didn't promote him, it would be unreasonable!"

Li Zhi sighed, "I don't know how I don't know, but I know the contributions made by Han Yi, but I can't convince the public. In addition, Han Yi came from a poor family and offended many ministers in the court. Even Xu Jingzong and others were unwilling to speak for Han Yi. I was helpless. I thought that my father loved Ma Zhou so much back then, and it took several years to promote Ma Zhou from the Censor to the Secretariat of the Secretariat."

Wu Meiniang pondered slightly and said, "Why didn't Your Majesty promote Han Yi to a fifth-rank dynasty doctor first? I believe no one dares to say anything more. Moreover, I should also tell those ministers appropriately about Han Yi's position in Your Majesty's heart. I have heard many people say that Han Yi has been repeatedly excluded in the court."

This Chaosan Doctor is a false position. Li Zhi originally awarded Changsun Wuji's concubine son as the Chaosan Doctor, but this fifth-rank official rank is very important, because in this way, Han Yi can enjoy the treatment of a noble, which is equivalent to entering a new class. This has a very important significance in ancient times.

“This is possible.”

Li Zhi nodded. He had always wanted Han Yi to go to the Censorate. At present, it seemed that it was very difficult, but he could not think of a suitable position for Han Yi for a while. Is Han Yi a genius? No matter what, it would be good to pass the fifth-rank official rank first. If you promote it, there would be less obstacles. Suddenly, "Mei Niang, after my uncle and Zuo Pushe retreated, everyone on their side was panicked. I think Ji, Han Yuan also seems to have plans to request retirement."

Wu Meiniang also hated Han Yuan and Lai Ji very much. After Chu Suiliang left, the two of them were attacking her and kept holding a grudge in their hearts. However, now that Li Zhi mentioned this to her, he did not dare to say it lightly, saying, "What do you think about His Majesty?"

Li Zhi sighed: "Now the talent in the court is not in line with us, and there are not many talents who can help me govern the country. If the two of them leave, then there will be no one on my hands."

Wu Meiniang said, "I don't know what Your Majesty means?"

Li Zhi said: "Instead of waiting for them to come and ask for retirement, I might as well stop their thoughts first. I hope you can preach a memorial and commend them both."

Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, and soon she understood that Li Zhi did this, of course, to reassure them. The main thing they offended was Wu Meiniang. Wu Meiniang must express his opinion and not blame them, so that they can be reassured. Although Wu Meiniang was unwilling, she had no choice. She did not dare to disobey Li Zhi's orders and nodded, "I know what to do."

In the palace.

"Boyu, why did you say that Your Majesty suddenly summon us? "

Lai Ji asked in a low voice as he walked towards Liangyi Hall.

Han Yuan said with a bitter face: "How do I know."

Lai Ji said, "If the situation is wrong, we will apologize immediately and retire and go home."

Han Yuan nodded and said, "I think so too. Now that the Taiwei, Zuo Pushe and the others have left, the people below are also eyeing us. If we don't leave, how can Li Yifu and others get up, they will definitely deal with us."

The two of them are also very embarrassed now. Among the main forces who deposed Wang Liwu, they were the only ones left. Why don’t they stay here if they don’t leave?

When they arrived in Liangyi Hall, they bowed to Li Zhi with guilt.

Li Zhi glanced at the two of them, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "No gift! I'll call you here today, there's something for you to show."

As he said that, he handed it to Zhang Desheng with a memorial. Zhang Desheng took it and went down to hand it to Han Yuan and Lai Ji.

Lai Ji took the memorial in confusion, and when he opened it, his face turned blue.

This memorial was written by the new queen. The first half of this is a detailed look at how Han Yuan and Lai Ji opposed him as the queen. They wrote very clearly and in detail. However, the second half says that although they offended me a lot, they have made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, are talented, good at governing, and very capable, and it is impossible to gain more talents. Your Majesty should not blame them, but should commend them.
