The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 35 Official debut



Changsun Pingting gently opened the carriage curtain. A group of military deployment officers gathered outside. Why did you forget to remind the carriage driver just now? Just thinking about the price increase.

It would be a fool not to take advantage of it. Li Xiang himself also wanted to get off the car near the Ministry of War. Who knew that he was already at the door? Isn't this a good opportunity? It also made everyone see clearly that Changsun Wuji had reconciled with the East Palace again.

This is a very important symbol. Changsun Wuji is known as the most powerful official during the Zhenguan period. His every move carries the hearts of many people. After this word is spread, no matter what the East Palace does, it will be better than before. Much more convenient.

"My nephew is retiring and will visit his aunt and uncle at home another day."

Li Xiang looked upright, as if he had not thought of this. Changsun Pingting also felt that Li Xiang was still young and might not have so many twists and turns in his heart. Instead, she arranged Li Xiang's clothes before getting off the car. , like his own nephew.

"After you go, don't express your opinions randomly. Even if you are allowed to do so, please don't be too arrogant. Listen more and learn more."

After Changsun Pingting said this, she also felt a little strange. She usually never said another word, but now when she saw Li Xiang leaving, she actually said these words.

"Respect your aunt's teachings."

Li Xiang turned around and waved his hand, then jumped off the carriage directly. Zhao Yunhui was already coming up behind him. The Ministry of War was used to seeing all kinds of armies, but Zhao Yunhui and the dozen or so people were still amazed. It could be seen from the queue. When I came out, I must have been training strictly. I didn't expect that there were such elite cavalry in the abandoned East Palace.

"I've met Lord Shangshu."

When Li Xiang got off the carriage, he saw that many people around him were about to kneel down to salute. Li Xiang took the lead and saluted Li Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of War. Li Jing had not yet come out of the sedan chair and accepted Li Xiang's great gift.

"After all, he is the emperor's eldest grandson. He is quite powerful when he puts on the official uniform of our military deployment officer. It will start soon. You first go to the Liaodong Division to get familiar with it."

Li Jing got down from the eight-carriage sedan and saw Li Xiang in official uniform. Although it was a bit too big, he still looked like an official. Most of the many royal children were wearing royal attire, and few were wearing it. Official uniforms, at least among the emperor's grandsons, Li Xiang set a precedent.

"Zhang Ping, come here and take your family to Liaodong Division first."

Li Jing also needed to handle some other official duties, so he called a subordinate official from among those watching the fun, who happened to be the eighth-rank clerk of the Liaodong Division.

After the two sides met, Li Jing went in first. Today the emperor will also come to the Ministry of War. It was agreed that he would go to the Liaodong Division, but if the emperor wants to inspect the Ministry of War, we must also be prepared.

"Little Zhang Ping, please give your regards to His Highness."

Zhang Ping is a petty official who is nearly forty years old. He is considered an old man in the Ministry of War. However, because no one has promoted him, he has always been in this position. I heard that a grandson of the emperor came to the Liaodong Division. This guy also started to use his brains. Yes, if you can get close to your thigh, you will definitely prosper in the future.

"Get up, we will work together in the same yamen from now on. I will call you Lao Zhang. We don't have so many etiquettes. Today is my first day at the yamen. Please take me for a walk. This is Think of it as the money I bought you for a drink, and we can have a serious meal someday."

Li Xiang took out a small ingot from his sleeve. You must know that in today's era, copper coins are still the most popular, but Li Xiang doesn't want to carry so much with him. Nobles still use gold and silver.

"How do you say this? Your Highness is now my immediate superior. I haven't given His Highness my heart yet. How can I take His Highness's reward first?"

Zhang Ping hurriedly took two steps back. One look at the little ingot and he knew that it must have at least five taels of silver. He only had a monthly salary of the same amount, plus other grain and cloth, it was only a little more than two taels of silver. Li Xiang was rewarded five taels of silver at once, which had never happened before.

"Pick it up, pick it up. If you don't want to take the money, you don't want to be on my side. I am a person with clear grudges. Since you don't want to be on my side, then I will find someone who is willing to take my money." go."

Li Xiang deliberately made a face, and then handed the little ingot into Zhang Ping's hands without any reason. Li Xiang had a very accurate grasp of the psychology of these people. Although they were famous in the Ministry of War Yamen, the officialdom during the Zhenguan period was relatively weak. They are incorruptible, so these people don't have much to gain from, and their daily lives are miserable.

After taking the money, he had to do something. In the next time, Zhang Ping took Li Xiang around the Ministry of War Yamen. Everyone heard that this was His Highness the Emperor Changsun, who had been in the limelight these days, and they all saw him in the yard. After giving him a gift, he looked familiar.

Everyone is also wondering at this moment. They have heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is messing around and has no time to educate his children. However, our Highness is very good at dealing with others. Where did he learn this? Could it be that we all heard it wrong before?

Finally, he came to the Liaodong Division, one of the eight divisions of the Ministry of War, and met his immediate boss, Pan Renhai, the chief of the Liaodong Division, an old man in his sixties.

In the 21st century, there are still many people who are over sixty years old and are still exerting their residual enthusiasm. However, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, over sixty years old was definitely an advanced age. Moreover, this old man could not hear in one ear and could not hear in the other ear. It's not very good either. When everyone is talking, they all want to shout out.

"Your Highness, our Lord Pan has already retired and returned to his hometown twice, but the Emperor does not allow it..."

After Li Xiang met Master Pan, Zhang Ping whispered beside him.

Only then did Li Xiang understand what was going on. The deputy palm seal of the Liaodong Division of the Ministry of War should be reserved for certain people. Of course, it was definitely not for him at the beginning. If there was no amazing performance in the court that day, this The position is likely to belong to other royal children, maybe to King Li Tai of Wei, maybe to King Li Zhi of Jin, but it will definitely not belong to him.

This Master Pan is obviously not capable of handling normal official duties, let alone handling national affairs, so this is like a mascot, and the deputy paw print should be here to handle things.

"My Lord Shangshu has ordered that the Emperor will arrive in two moments and be greeted by officials from all departments."

Li Xiang was preparing to learn more about the situation, but who knew that the messenger had already arrived. The emperor had already set off from the palace and would soon arrive at the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Li Xiang's first official debut is about to begin...
