In the court, Li Longji discussed matters related to sending troops to the grassland with the ministers. Once the results were found, they would inform the world, and announced that Zhang Shougui was appointed as the commander, to control the military power of the governors in the northern border, and to launch a large number of troops.

The government and the country were excited, but Zhang Jiuling argued with reason and hoped that the emperor would not be too aggressive and advocated that it would be enough to stop.

Li Linfu and Niu Xianke, who had just arrived in the court, came forward to argue with Zhang Jiuling, and the two sides were blushing in the debate in the court.

In the end, the emperor did not obey Zhang Jiuling's opinions and insisted on sending troops. At the same time, he criticized Zhang Jiuling. He was not very strict, but pointed out that Zhang Jiuling was conservative and had conservative thoughts. He had enough to maintain his achievements but had no ability to expand territory.

The emperor criticized the prime minister in front of the ministers, allowing the government and the country to see a sign that Zhang Jiuling had not stayed in the prime minister for a long time.

In recent years, the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty have changed more frequently. Wang Shi was nine months, Yu Wen Rong was four months, and Han Xiu was ten months. The emperor seemed to be dissatisfied with everyone. Since the emperor was also dissatisfied with Zhang Jiuling, there is a huge question whether the next step is to change.

After the court meeting ended, Li Linfu continued to stay and discuss the details of the troops with the emperor. Some people in the Ministry of War also stayed, but Zhang Jiuling, as the left prime minister, was not allowed to stay.

Zhang Jiuling could only walk out of the hall with other ministers. He was so angry that he was, but he had to maintain his dignity in front of all the ministers. After all, he was a representative of the conservatives. Only by keeping his original heart could he stabilize the hearts of the faction.

"Now Brother Li is in the court, and he is highly valued by His Majesty. He has to find a way to press him down." Zhang Jiuling thought about his thoughts, ignored his colleagues and greeted him, and walked straight to the palace gate.

Before he walked far, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind him, but Gao Lishi arrived in a hurry.

Zhang Jiuling felt very strange. Shouldn’t Gao Lishi stay in Zhenguan Hall now and listen to the military dispatch?

Zhang Jiuling thought to himself: "The reason why the military strategy decided by the Shangshu Province was defeated by Li Genu is that he failed to make good friends with Gao Lishi, and he must learn this painful lesson in the future."

"I wonder what Mr. Gao has to do?"

When Gao Lishi arrived beside him, Zhang Jiuling bowed and asked.

Gao Lishi smiled and replied, "I came out this time not to seek to meet Zhang Linggong, but since we left the palace together, we can walk for a while and talk."

Zhang Jiuling originally thought that he had to pay attention to it, but the emperor sent Gao Lishi to chase him to recall him to discuss military and national affairs, but unexpectedly, Gao Lishi was not here for him at all, and he was inevitably depressed again.

"Zhang Linggong must have thought that I fully support Li Xilang and Zhang Shuai in this military strategy? It's right and not right... Zhang Shuai is very confident in military affairs. Why should I be a villain and stop him from making achievements? In recent years, Xichuan has been using troops continuously, and there are many wars in the Western Regions, but there are only sporadic conflicts in the north. Zhang Shuai is now old and wants to take advantage of his spare time to completely quell the northern border troubles for the Tang Dynasty and tie the limelight of the famous generals of ancient times. We want to give him face."

Gao Lishi's words point to clear.

I am not rejecting you, nor am I just helping Li Linfu, but I want to help Zhang Shougui, so that he can have the opportunity to compete with famous generals like Li Jing and Huo Qubing, and also make achievements in the use of foreign troops in the prosperous period of the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Jiuling naturally would not accept Gao Lishi's rhetoric.

Even though he is polite to Gao Lishi now, he still can't stand the eunuchs who are arbitrarily interfering in the court affairs like Gao Lishi. Since ancient times, there have been many disasters among eunuchs who are in chaos in politics.

Gao Lishi looked up at the direction of the palace gate and smiled, "But he said that Li Xilang is very ambitious. He had planned for Empress Hui before, intending to depose the crown prince and support Shou as the crown prince. This matter was very unpleasant. Now he even showed goodwill to Yang Guojiu and planned to marry Yang Guojiu... Why do you think this is?"

"Oh? Is there anything wrong?"

Zhang Jiuling frowned and said.

Originally, Zhang Jiuling thought that Gao Lishi and Li Linfu were wearing the same pair of pants. After hearing this, he realized that Gao Lishi was also dissatisfied with Li Linfu. He probably felt that Li Linfu was valued by the emperor now, and his power had already arisen, and his ambitions were expanding. It was difficult to control it, so he unconsciously took action to suppress it.

Although Gao Lishi is not the prime minister, Gao Lishi, who is the prime minister who is fighting hard, can not only make suggestions in front of the emperor, but also often act on behalf of the emperor. His political structure is far beyond the reach of ordinary court officials.

Gao Lishi was a little dissatisfied: "Why isn't this the case? Speaking of which, everyone in the court wants to get closer to the upstart Yang Guojiu, but Li Xilang was walking in front. His Majesty said the day before yesterday that he would promote Yang Guojiu, but now he is the censor. He is about to be promoted again in less than half a month after entering the court... It seems that His Majesty cares a lot about Yang Guojiu."

Zhang Jiuling remained silent and did not express any comments on what Gao Lishi said.

He was thinking about the intention of Gao Lishi's words. Did Gao Lishi really encounter something when he left the palace, or did he intend to come out and say this to him?

He prefers the latter.

Gao Lishi deliberately made the topic clear. Even if no one in the court opposed it, he would have a thorn in his heart. After all, this promotion has exceeded the presumption of the court.

Even though Yang Yun was a royal relative, he had no contribution to the Tang Dynasty. How could he be promoted just by saying that he was promoted?

Gao Lishi understood Zhang Jiuling's position. Seeing that the other party was silent, he smiled and said, "Don't go to your heart, just talk a few words on the way out of the palace. Don't make this statement so as not to be taken advantage of by villains."

After saying that, before he could reach the palace gate, he accelerated a few steps forward. It seemed that there was something urgent.

Zhang Jiuling had no intention of chasing him. He was still thinking about what Gao Lishi said, and he was very worried.

"If Brother Li and the Taoist priest named Yang walked together, the Tang Dynasty might have a big mess. That boy... is not a good man. His understanding of the court is far from as simple as it seems."

In the past, Zhang Jiuling looked down on Yang Yun, and even though Yang Yun used Princess Xianyi to write poems to awaken him, he still disdained him.

But now I suddenly realized that Yang Yun had become a new force in the court, and his rise was too fast, and it was very likely that he would become a major concern for him. When I suddenly thought of the words Yang Yun had said to him before, I felt that the good fortune was unpredictable.

...

...

Yang Yun did not take the marriage matter that Li Linfu said to heart, and felt that there was a way to resolve it. At worst, he could tell the emperor that he was a Taoist priest and it was not convenient to get married.

Li Longji's intention is to become an immortal as soon as possible. As for helping Li Linfu promote the marriage, he should not be so leisurely.

At that time, Yang Yun was not qualified to participate. Among the several censors in the Censorate, he had the least qualifications and was not responsible for specific affairs. It seemed that any major matters in the court had nothing to do with him. Only when he was in a major meeting would he have the opportunity to show his face in the court.

The problem is that the emperor is not currently in Chang'an, the capital, but is visiting Luoyang. Even if the court meeting is held, it is a small-scale meeting. Most of the attendees are senior officials above the fourth rank. If a grand court meeting is to be held, he must wait for the emperor to return to Chang'an.

The inspection of Hanjiacang came to an end. He went there twice. The second time he was not accompanied by the Sinong Temple, so he went there alone and found nothing.

Even if there is a problem with the granary, it will try hard to cover it up. It is not easy to find clues from the surface.

When he first arrived in the court, he could not control many things. Han Jiacang had too many problems and his foundation was not stable. He didn't want to find out anything with a decisive and vigorous look. This is very unfavorable to his future career.

If you want to be motivated, you must adhere to the idea of ​​being in a moderate and inaction. It is rare to be confused. To put it bluntly, you are making trouble in your position. As long as you are worthy of your superiors and conquer the people.

Yang Yun knew the rules of becoming an official in the feudal dynasty for thousands of years. He had just come into contact with the core of power and had to maintain a peaceful mind when he did not gain great political convenience. He should not be a thorn in everything.

That morning, he went to the Censorate. As usual, he walked around the yamen in his new official uniform and left the palace. When he returned to the carriage, he immediately changed his official uniform and returned to the Zuixian Tower in less than half an hour after going to the yamen.

As soon as the door of Zuixian Tower opened in the morning, a guest visited him. He was still an uninvited guest. He came over to have a drink and watch the scenery, with a leisurely look on his face.

"I heard that Li Xilang talked to you about marriage and said that he wanted to marry his daughter to you, and he might ask his father for marriage at any time." Princess Xianyi came up and said in a mocking tone.

Yang Yun smiled and asked, "Does this kind of thing spread so quickly? Who is so boring?"

Princess Xianyi said angrily: "Do you accept this marriage happily, judging by your appearance? I have seen your attitude towards Miss Li that day. No matter how you think... you don't seem to be destined to be a destined person. Don't say that you will accept this marriage in order to be able to go further in the court."

Yang Yun said seriously: "This kind of political marriage is not controlled by individuals. Just as the princess said, this is Li Xilang deliberately wanted to establish an intimate relationship with me, and he has asked His Majesty to have a request. What should you do if you ask me to do?"

"You can go and argue with your father, saying that you are a Taoist priest, but you can't even ignore the basic reason, right?" Princess Xianyi became nervous for no reason, as if she was very concerned about this marriage.

Yang Yun was originally talking casually in front of Princess Xianyi, but he didn't expect that the little princess was anxious, as if the little princess was more concerned about the marriage than him.

"Princess, this kind of thing...it's better to let it go." Yang Yun thought for a while, and did not slam Princess Xianyi's enthusiasm, so he just comforted him.

Princess Xianyi gave Yang Yun a blank look and said, "I know you must have some good idea. I originally wanted to make good things between you and Miss Zhang, but that Zhang Linggong has no good eyes on you and me. I will tell you about this matter... It's purely useless."

Yang Yun smiled, hey, finally, you little princess is a little wise.
