The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling entered Chang'an Military Academy, and they went directly to the academy's kitchen.

The cook here is from Wangyou Restaurant.

The key is that there is no money required here.

They naturally knew that Zhao Chen was not in Chang'an, and they told the officials to come to Zhao Chen to discuss the choice of the minister of household affairs, just to make the officials think that Zhao Chen was really still in Chang'an.

The people from the Imperial College have been somewhat active recently. Has Prime Minister Wei noticed it? Fang Xuanling sat opposite Wei Zheng and asked.

Of course Wei Zheng found out.

Previously, Chu Suiliang personally brought people to Chang'an Military Academy to cause trouble.

Today in the court, Si Ye of the Imperial College personally asked Zhao Chen whether he was in Chang'an.

This was normal, so Wei Zheng would not doubt it.

At such a moment, the sudden voice of the Imperial College Siye made him suspect that someone from the Imperial College was involved in Qizhou's affairs.

Imperial Master Jiang Siye looks a little strange. Of course, maybe he said something more. Wei Zheng nodded and shook his head again.

The matter is far from coming to light, and no one knows whether the Imperial College Secretary Ye's questioning was intentional or unintentional.

Fang Xuanling nodded, and Niu Jinda walked over with food.

Why are you two here? Niu Jinda asked with a smile.

General Niu. Both of them nodded with Niu Jinda.

Did the King of Han go to Qizhou yesterday? Fang Xuanling and Niu Jinda asked.

We have gone. Not long after the carriage left the city, it headed towards Qizhou. However, the King of Han still brought the little princess with him, so the speed is probably not much faster. Niu Jinda nodded.

He was still a little worried about Zhao Chen.

After all, the situation in Qizhou doesn't look very good.

Today we came here as an excuse to discuss matters with the King of Han, just to prove to the officials that the King of Han is still in Chang'an.

Let the officials in Chang'an who have colluded with Qizhou rest assured. Wei Zheng explained.

The current situation in Qizhou is unknown.

It is difficult to guarantee how many officials in Chang'an have colluded with Qizhou officials.

I also don’t understand what high position the Chang’an officials who colluded with Qizhou officials held.

Niu Jinda nodded, but suddenly remembered what Zhao Chen told him before leaving.

The Prime Minister of Wei and the Prime Minister of Fang, when the King of Han left, he said that if the court affairs are not easy to decide, you can go to the Minister of Civil Affairs and ask. Niu Jinda said.

Shang Shu?

Changsun Wuji? Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were both stunned for a moment.

Then he came back to his senses.

Since Zhao Chen said this, it was obvious that Changsun Wuji would help.

Changsun Wuji helped. Could it be that Changsun Wuji was already under Zhao Chen's command?

That's what I said. Niu Jinda nodded.

Then he said goodbye to the two of them and left with his rice bowl in hand.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling looked at each other. They had never thought that Zhao Chen and Changsun Wuji could still hang out together.

After all, not long ago, Zhao Chen almost had a fight with Changsun Wuji in the Tai Chi Hall.

When did they get together? Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling with confusion.

Trying to get a clue from him.

But how could Fang Xuanling know what happened between the two of them.

He could only shake his head slowly to express his ignorance.

In my opinion, the two of them acted together in a play at the Tai Chi Palace last time.

Otherwise, that guy Zhao Chen may not be able to take the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue so easily. Wei Zheng guessed, thinking about what happened before.

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly.

If Wei Zheng's conjecture is true, then the entire court was played by Zhao Chen and Changsun Wuji that day.

Even now, the emperor himself was the clown back then.

The King of Han's actions are really unpredictable. Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Wei Zheng suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was not as delicious as before.

I stuffed a few mouthfuls into my mouth unhappily, and then I completely lost my appetite.

According to the previous plan, I will discuss the list of the left and right ministers with everyone, but I estimate that there will be an uproar against it.

Even, someone has to ask to see Zhao Chen in person. Wei Zheng suddenly said this to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment, then seemed to think of something again and nodded slowly.

…

Qunfang Garden. .??.

It's still the same small courtyard as before.

The thin man appeared here again.

The candles in the room went out, and the man in robes opened the door and appeared at the door.

What's going on? the man in robe asked in a hoarse voice.

Sir, news came from the court today that Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling went to Chang'an Military Academy to discuss with Zhao Chen on the selection of the Minister of Household Affairs.

It's not yet certain whether Zhao Chen is still in Chang'an. The thin man said.

Since you're not sure, then why do you come here? The voice of the man in robes contained a hint of anger.

Apparently he was worried about his whereabouts being exposed.

Sir, have we made a mistake? Zhao Chen is actually still in Chang'an and has not left. The thin man asked.

As long as you do your own thing, you don't need to judge whether Zhao Chen is in Chang'an or not. The voice of the man in robes was full of displeasure.

The thin man did not dare to speak anymore and was about to leave when he was stopped by the man in robes.

Nalu Yifa has left Chang'an and returned to Qizhou. It is best not to have any contact with him in the short term.

Since something happened in Qizhou, someone has to take the blame in the end.

If you get too close now and something happens later, don't blame me for not warning you. The man in the robe said calmly.

Yes, my lord, I will talk to my lords after I go back.

Farewell. The thin man nodded and left.

The man in robe looked at the departing figure in front of him, his eyebrows hidden under his robe knitted together.

Obviously, he didn't know whether Zhao Chen was still in Chang'an or not.

…

The next morning.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng continued to preside over the court meeting.

When the two announced the names of the candidates for the position of Minister of Household Affairs, all the officials looked at the two in astonishment.

No way, who asked them to name the candidates for the left and right ministers, namely Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yizhi, and Wei Zheng's son Wei Shuyu.

Recommend your son to be the Minister of Household Affairs?

This is the first time that officials have encountered such obvious nepotism.

Prime Minister, Prime Minister Wei, you just said that the candidates for the left and right ministers agreed upon by you and the King of Han are Fang Yizhi and Wei Shuyu? An official looked at the two men with disdain.

If I remember correctly, Fang Yizhi was just a minor official in the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, he is the son of the prime minister.

And Wei Shuyu is just a clerk in the Ministry of Personnel.

Yes, he is the son of Prime Minister Wei.

But I would like to ask, how do the two of them become qualified to serve as ministers in the Ministry of Household Affairs? Another official asked.

The other officials also looked angry.

It was hard for them to believe that when Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling went to Zhao Chen to discuss the matter, they would come up with such a result.

This is completely treating them officials as fools.
