Hanjing.

Li Xiuning, the eldest princess of Pingyang in Zhenguo, received the imperial edict from the emperor's servants and officially became the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty.

She also became the first female minister of the Tang Dynasty.

It can even be said that this is the first female official outside the palace.

Becoming the Minister of War of this huge empire with a young woman was enough to make a sensation.

When the news came out, everyone was amazed, but no one thought that she, a woman, was not qualified to take on this important position.

The Privy Council of the Tang Dynasty held the military order system, while the Ministry of War held the military and political system.

The Privy Council has the power to transfer troops, the three yamen have the power to command military command, and the Ministry of War is responsible for the assessment and selection of officers, promotion and removal, custody of military talismans and seals, and management of logistics, food and wages.

Compared with the past, the Ministry of War was much less powerful than before, but it was still a very important central department.

Li Xiuning was also called the female marshal because of this.

The Grand Princess's Mansion in Pingyang, Zhenguo.

Many people came to congratulate.

Privy Councilor Li Jing, the prince of Fengyi County, is the leader of the military today.

The Marshal of the Northern Yai, Qin Qiong, was the top leader of the Hanjing military.

The Grand Governor of the Central Army, Guo Xiaoke, the King of Shu County, commanded the Central Theater Command and usually stayed in Xiangyang.

Ma Zhou, the prince of Nanyang, Situ, and the president of Hanlin, and the popular people around the emperor who held the power to criticize the emperor.

Wei Zheng, the noble dean.

Cen Wenben, Chu Suiliang, Cabinet Group Assistant.

······

Dozens of people came to congratulate, all of whom were princes and important members of the imperial center.

Everyone is actually very familiar with it, so there is no need to introduce it.

Today, Pingyang did not hold any promotion banquets, but many people still came.

All these came from all have a characteristic, which is called Zhang Dang from the outside world. It used to be called Li Dang, but now it is called Zhang Dang because they are all very close to Zhang Chao.

Most of them have marriages with Zhang Chao, but they call him Zhang Party. The most important thing is not marriages, but the same political views among these people. They all support Zhang Chao's ideas and therefore gather around Zhang Chao.

These people are all over the court, military and political circles, and hold important positions.

Several large tables of food were placed.

Ping** Ben didn't do it himself, so he called a few tables of tables from Zuixianlou.

All in color, fragrance and taste.

The food is ready and everyone serves it.

Pingyang is also very bold and unrestrained. He is in his forties, but he is still as charming as ever.

She was wearing a purple official robe, a goldfish bag hanging on her waist, and a normal head, like a civil servant outfit.

Very heroic.

"Come on, don't be polite, everyone, they are all old acquaintances who are ministers in the same palace, so they are at will."

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "The dishes in Zuixianlou are quite good, but I still prefer Fumanlou's, which are spicy and fresh and fragrant, and have a stronger taste."

The main dishes in Zuixianlou are refined and delicate, with a light taste. They emphasize freshness and lightness, while the lightness and beauty are different from Fumanlou.

Pingyang smiles.

"We are old, so we still have to eat more light flavors."

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "This is the same thing your sister often says. I usually eat hard at home and it's too light. I have to go to the restaurant downstairs of Fuman often secretly, or go to Wenyuan's house to enjoy the taste. Unfortunately, Wenyuan has gone to the south now, so it's hard to go there often."

Qin Qiong is Pingyang's brother-in-law. The two families have now been engaged and become in-laws, so it is more natural.

"By the way, did Wen Yuan say when will he come back?" Qin Qiong asked.

"Wen Yuan probably hasn't arrived in Yangzhou yet, so it's still early. He has to send the emperor to Nanyang, and he has to go to inspect the southeastern areas when he returns. It's probably the end of the year when he comes back."

Wei Zheng likes wine the most. As long as the wine is good, he will be the same whether it is spicy or light dishes. He touched his mouth, "Wen Yuan sent the emperor to Nanyang at this time, and I don't know what he thought. Especially before leaving, he left such a draft. At the cabinet meeting, everyone must have seen His Majesty's face and was very unhappy."

Ma Zhou nodded too.

"There was no news about this draft beforehand. Your Majesty was indeed caught off guard. Your Majesty was very dissatisfied. After returning to the palace, he told me that he had been attacked suddenly, and he was very passive and annoyed."

Li Jing is so old that he actually wants to quit his job and go home to enjoy his old age. But Zhang Chao asks him to continue to stay in the court, at least he will leave after he has finished his term. I hope that he, the highly qualified god of war, will be in the market.

"I think this draft is very good this time, especially it has great guarantees for our nobles. In the future, the status of the nobles has been confirmed. We will make achievements and keep a name in history. Don't we still want to shine our family and strengthen our family?"

Even an old coach like Li Jing said he had to consider the descendants of the family, so who else was not like this? This is not selfish, it is just instinct.

Pingyang raised his glass.

"Come on, let's have a drink first. We rarely get together. In the future, I will become an official in the court and have to rely on your own care."

"We are all relieved to hand it over to Hong Niangzi," Li Jing said with a smile.

The third lady loves red makeup and armed. When she goes to the battlefield, she always likes to ride a red horse and wears a big red cloak, so she is also known as the Red Lady.

Everyone laughed.

Let’s raise a glass of wine together, and the dining table became more lively.

Ma Zhou stood up, "I asked everyone to come today for this dinner, and I will take advantage of the princess' promotion to celebrate. In fact, I was also a little worried. Although the bill left by Wen Yuan before leaving this time was basically passed, it was not as easy as it seemed."

"Yesterday, someone submitted a memorial to Your Majesty, saying that Wen Yuan rebelled. Your Majesty stayed at the Central Committee and did not issue it. This is not a good sign."

With Zhang Chao's current status, some people dare to sue Zhang Chao for rebellion. This is undoubtedly a person who is taking his life to gain power.

There are actually many people who are so brave and not afraid of death.

But the problem is that such memorials can be presented to the emperor, and after the emperor read them, he did not do anything, but just kept them and refused to send them.

Keeping it up and not sending it is actually an emperor's attitude.

If it is a false accusation, then you will definitely be scolded. But the emperor does not say anything. Isn’t this interesting?

This is even a dangerous sign.

Many speculators have been observing the wind direction secretly for a long time. If the emperor emits such a wind direction, the wind will definitely blow more and more intensely.

Many speculators will start to jump out and gamble.

"Who dares to falsely accuse Wen Yuan of rebellion?" Qin Qiong asked.

"A Luoyang native is a member of the Luoyang Parliament. He has a net worth of about one million yuan, which is considered to be a little money. He is a nouveau riche." Chu Suiliang said on the side, "I have investigated. This person often deducts workers' labor money because he likes to squeeze and peel workers, and is reported. The impact is extremely bad. After Wen Yuan heard this, he specially instructed Dali Temple to investigate and review it. Finally, it was found that it was true. The cabinet then dismissed his membership and punished him severely."

"That's just taking revenge with private matters? A small nouveau riche dared to frame the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. How did his memorial be presented to His Majesty? What qualifications does he have to submit the memorial to the ban? This matter seems to be not simple, and someone is behind the scenes to fuel the fire."

Cen Wenben said, "We must pay attention to this matter, otherwise many people will pounce on it and bite it. This person must be killed, and he must be killed immediately."

A small nouveau riche businessman is nothing. Anyone can easily die with a bed bug.

However, behind this little character, there is something unusual.

The emperor must be ordered to kill this person in order to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and let those who voters understand the situation.

This person must be killed, and the emperor must also be ordered to kill him.

Zhang Chao’s status must be stable, which is everyone’s consensus.

If others are allowed to attack Zhang Chao, it will not be good news to anyone. To put it bluntly, they are indeed called Zhang Party. If Zhang Chao falls, they will definitely be liquidated.

But in fact, with Zhang Chao's strength and prestige, the emperor or some people want to defeat Zhang Chao is actually a dream. If the emperor also participates in it, the final result may be to force a mutiny.

The worst result is that Zhang Chao is independent overseas.

No one wants to see such a result.

Everyone was not willing to see Zhang Chao eventually become a traitor in the Tang Dynasty, nor did they want to see the emperor being deposed. Now that Zhang Chao is not in Beijing, they are afraid that the emperor will have a time to think about it.

They must control the situation.

Today's gathering is to unify everyone's thoughts.

At critical moments, everyone has to advance and retreat together.

This is not for self-interest, but for the common people to fight against differences, it is for the Tang Dynasty and for the stability of the world.

······

Early in the morning, I started to take a look at the newspaper after exercise.

But after he flipped around a few randomly, his face gradually became wrong.

Li Hongtai, a native of Luoyang, has become the protagonist in major newspapers today.

This person was exposed, how he made a fortune, how he exploited his family, how he was unintentionally exploited, how he even deducted, and even abused workers. And he had a life lawsuit!

Such a person is a black-hearted businessman, vampire, and beastly dressed in a guise. He actually took personal revenge because Prime Minister Zhang Chao instructed him to investigate and punish him. He filed a complaint and falsely accused King Zhao of rebellion.

The investigation of major newspapers and magazines made Li Hongtai a street rat that everyone called for. And his complaint about King Zhao's rebellion became a private revenge in the eyes of everyone, which was a false accusation.
To be continued...
