Chapter 645: Li Tang negotiating peace

The palace lanterns in the main hall are bright.

The ministers of Zhao all lowered their heads, and the hall was silent, with the sleeves of several people shaking gently.

After Lin Dangfeng recommended Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng stood silently in the lobby. But seeing that Wei Zheng now had white hair and his hands were crossed over his official robe. Who among the Zhao State knew that Wei Zheng was diligent in his work and managed Youjing Mansion in an orderly manner. But everyone knew that the previous time in the court meeting, Wei Zheng openly contradicted Li Chongjiu and opposed the unblocking of Yongji Canal. He was so angry that he said he could not come out of illness for three days. Finally, Wen Yanbo came to the door to invite him, and then he asked him.

Will Li Chongjiu refuse Lin Dangfeng's proposal? The ministers speculated in their hearts that no one responded or objected, and everyone was waiting for Li Chongjiu's decision.

Li Chongjiu glanced across the hall and said without hesitation: "I think it's OK, do you have any objections?"

The ministers finally had a commotion, and everyone whispered for a while, and said one by one: "The King of Wei has been guarding the Youjing Mu for many years, and the people have praised his virtue. The Master of Youjing Mu is so important. I think it is impossible for anyone else to be able to handle it."

Although this person's meaning was not stated explicitly, he also objected.

Li Chongjiu looked at the minister and said, "It is precisely because of the outstanding ability of the Wei Mansion, that a larger stage is needed. Youjing Mansion needs him, but the people of the 30 counties of the Great Zhao need him even more. I will decide the candidate for the Muslim Guard of Youjing Mansion, and I will discuss it later."

"I misunderstood." The other party bowed his head and retreated.

"Are there any objections?"

At this time, Wang Gui said, "The King of Wei, is fair in his work. He is above the ministers. He is willing to assist the King of Wei to handle the Secretariat well."

What a great Wang Gui who could change his mind. Li Chongjiu looked at Wang Gui and said, "The left and right servants of the Shangshu Province are my left and right arm. You two are united with each other, and no one can assist anyone."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Even Wang Gui said this. The ministers on both sides did not say anything anymore and said: "We respect Your Majesty's will."

"Okay, I will issue an order to get Wei Zheng to move to the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe."

"I thank Your Majesty." Wei Zhenglang said. Wei Zheng's old minister was promoted to the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe.

"I am willing to recommend Cui Junsu, the governor of Qinghe County, to be the Minister of Personnel." It is about the counselor Lu Qiqing.

Lu Qiqing came from the Lu family in Fanyang, and was originally a soldier of Gao and Zhao families in Zhuo County. Since Lu Qiqing made a statement, it means that the Lu family supports the Qinghe Cui family to rise to power.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "What do you guys think?"

"I think it's not possible!" The person who spoke was Zhao Heran. He really proposed Cui Junsu to take office. He was opposed by Gao and Zhao families.

The reason they opposed was that how could foreign officials enter the center? Not only did Cui Junsu be the surrendered minister of Liu Heita, but he was older, how could he be the Minister of Personnel?

After the ministers discussed for a while, Li Chongjiu said, "Since that's the case, Cui Jun could not be the Minister of Personnel, and was moved to Youjing Prefecture's Muslim Guard."

As soon as this statement was made, the officials in the hall were shocked. Wen Yanbo and Wei Zheng grasped Li Chongjiu's meaning and their eyes lit up. The Cui family in Qinghe was deeply rooted in Qinghe County. Before, Li Chongjiu defeated Liu Heita and appointed Cui Junsu as the governor of Qinghe County was also a policy of rights and interests.

The situation is a little stable now. Li Chongjiu decided to insert his own nail in Qinghe County. At the same time, in order to win over the Cui family, Cui Junsujin was the guardian of Youjing Prefecture. The Cui family not only would not resent, but would be grateful to Li Chongjiu.

Someone now objected: "Your Majesty, the Muslim Guard of Youjing Prefecture, is in the second rank, but the county magistrate of Qinghe County is only in the fourth rank, and has been promoted to the third rank, which is illegal."

Li Chongjiu said: "I know this. There are more than 30 counties in the Great Zhao today. I cannot govern the world with one county and one county. It is urgent to add the county to the prefecture. There were only two prefectures before, so I was granted the second rank, and later it was expanded to five prefectures and ten prefectures. The court could not have so many second-rank official positions. Therefore, the Muslim of each prefecture was demoted to the third rank. Secondly, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the Left and Left, and the Minister of the Secretariat was on par with the Minister of the Secretariat, but higher than the Secretary of the Six Ministers."

Cui Junsu has been promoted to two levels in a row, which is considered normal. Moreover, the Cui family in Qinghe behind him is so powerful that the officials dare not object to it.

Finally, there is the Minister of Personnel. Li Chongjiu said: "The Ministry of Personnel is under the jurisdiction of the Minister of the Shangshu Zuo Pushe. I wonder what candidate Wei Aiqing has for the Minister of Personnel?"

If it were someone else, he would not have spoken in order to avoid suspicion. But Wei Zheng was fair and selfless, so he did not have such grudges. Wei Zheng said: "Weichen has no good candidates, but the Minister of Personnel is very important. Weichen thinks that Lu Qiqing and Zhou Xu can be appointed as the Minister of Personnel, assisting Weichen to handle matters of the Ministry of Personnel."

Li Chongjiu nodded and asked Lu Qiqing to join the Ministry of Personnel, which was also a reward for Lu Chengqing and the Lu family in Fanyang to judge the situation in this matter.

The matters discussed in the court will be finalized.

At this moment, Pei Ju, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, the Li Tang sect sent envoys from Guanzhong and have settled in the Honglu Temple!"

"What's the matter?"

"It seems to be a peace talk!"

This time the envoy to Zhao State was Liu Hongji, the envoy from Li Tang, and Liu Zhenghui.

In Linshuo Palace, under the leadership of Zhao officials, Liu Hongji stood in front, while Liu Zhenghui lagged behind a little.

Soon the two arrived in the hall, only Li Chongjiu and several officials were beside him.

Pei Ju told Li Chongji: "These two are Liu Hongji, the envoy of Li Tang, and Liu Zhenghui."

Liu Hongji and Liu Zhenghui respectfully performed the worship ceremony.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "After leaving in Luoyang, I didn't expect to meet again so soon today."

Liu Hongji said: "I am happy that Emperor Zhao is fine. Your Majesty is here. This time, your Majesty ordered me to come here to stop the troops and stop the war and eliminate the war."

Li Chongjiu said: "I hope to hear the details."

Liu Hongji said immediately: "After the seventh year of Daye, when the conquest of Liaodong, the war in the Central Plains has been continuous for more than ten years. The countryside was destroyed by war, the people were displaced and died of misdeeds. All the people in the world have suffered for a long time. God loves the virtue of life. My Lord follows the will of God and is willing to stand together with His Majesty Zhao, recognize each other's throne, and never invade each other again from now on."

Li Chongjiu spoke on the side of Ji Chuan: "The Tang Lord raised an army from Jinyang and plundered Guanzhong, which may cause the countryside to be destroyed by war, the people are displaced, and they die in a bad life. It is the Tang Lord himself, why is he now mentioning peace talks?"

As soon as Ji Chuan spoke, he mocked Li Yuan.
