Fang Xuanling was shocked in his heart, "What Your Majesty said is very true, and the minister often thinks about what he is for."
"When the court insulted Han Xiang, ruined his reputation with recklessness, and the battle of Songzhou was even more self-deprecating and took the initiative to give credit to Han Wei, attacking the Yue Wangfu to seek imprisonment, how could I not guess his intentions to neither be greedy for money nor love power, I really dare not use him.
Fang Xuanling's back was cold, he naturally knew that the way to be a monarch was control, and the last thing a king was afraid of was that his courtiers were greedy for money and power or greedy for beauty, and the so-called defective ones were controlled by others.
The king's greatest concern is a courtier who has no shortcomings or no authority to master.
"That's not what I'm most worried about."
Li Shimin obviously regarded Fang Xuanling as a confidant, and he confided the worries in his heart to the fullest, "What I am most worried about is the arrogance in his bones, the arrogance of treating the monarchy as nothing. ” Fang Xuanling couldn't sit still, he understood that maybe today was the day to judge Li Mu's future, if he didn't take care of Li Mu, I was afraid that Li Mu would be in a catastrophe, at least he would be abandoned by Li Shimin.
But should he speak for Li Mu, Fang Xuanling hesitated.
In my heart, Fang Xuanling has a good impression of Li Mu, not only is Li Mu a capable minister, but the most important thing is that he can understand the principle of equal interests, in this court where everyone is intrigued for interests, there are still people who are willing to share benefits with others, just like a clear stream pouring into turbid water, which makes Fang Xuanling unable to help but have a good impression of Li Mu.
There may be some people in this world who are born to make you have a good impression of him at first sight, and Li Mu is one of them.
Fang Xuanling didn't hesitate for too long, with Li Shimin for so many years, he understood that it was difficult to dispel Li Shimin's doubts.
Anything that says something for Li Mu, listening to it in Li Shimin's ears, will cause Li Shimin's suspicion, not only will it not help, but it will also drag him into the quagmire.
Fang Xuanling laughed twice and said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty has accepted him as a righteous son, and he is still young, so the emperor has time to train him." ” Sure enough, Li Shimin's face paleated a little when he heard this, and he nodded slightly: "What Xuan Ling said is extremely true, and I think so too, otherwise how would I tolerate him to this day." ” Fang Xuanling's heart was relieved when he heard this, he knew Li Shimin's temper too well, and he left himself to play the right game today, not so much for Li Mu, but actually to test his reaction, if he said something for Li Mu, Li Shimin would suspect that he was colluding with Li Mu, and if he fell into the trap for Li Mu, Li Shimin would suspect that he was colluding with the courtiers and trying to suppress Li Mu.
The so-called companion is like a tiger, nothing more than this.
The most correct way is to point without a trace and let Li Shimin decide what to do by himself, of course, this point is enough to affect Li Shimin's judgment.
And this degree, Fang Xuanling has already mastered it, and he has a bamboo in his chest.
"I stayed in Xuanling today because I wanted to ask if there was any way to let me use Li Mu with confidence."
Come to think of it, this is the real purpose of leaving yourself to play right today, Fang Xuanling said secretly in his heart.
"The minister thinks that Li Mu is young and cannot be used too early, so he also asked the emperor to plan for the Tang Dynasty, and when he grows up, it is appropriate to leave it to the prince."
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he bowed down again, "The minister said in vain, and asked Your Majesty to punish the crime." ” Li Shimin immediately laughed and said: "What's wrong with Xuan Ling today, how can I be such an unbearable person?"
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "What the emperor said is extremely true, but the minister is stupid. ” Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's not that I have to use Li Mu, it's just that Xuan Ling also saw this, and I have to use it." ” Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "This sparse is indeed vertical and horizontal, and the decisive victory is above the temple.
If the emperor really has the heart to use Li Mu, the minister has a few suggestions. ” "Xuan Ling, come on."
According to this, the first step was to send supplies to Silla, and Nachen thought that it could be done only with the traffic supervisor, who was originally a new yamen, both political and business, and Li Mu was originally a traffic supervisor.
In this way, it can not only avoid the emperor from using Li Mu too early, but also will not cause speculation from the government and the opposition. ” Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this: "Xuan Ling's strategy is very clever. ” But immediately, Li Shimin frowned slightly and asked: "But in this way, wouldn't the ownership of the traffic supervisor be very large?"
Fang Xuanling said: "What the emperor said is very true, and what comes from this is that the power of the traffic supervisor is too great.
The minister thought that the emperor could choose to send a capable cadre to the traffic prison, and the traffic supervisor has only one young supervisor so far, and it is common for the emperor to appoint one person.
In this way, Li Mu can be assisted, and the other is good. ” Li Shimin laughed and said with understanding: "Xuan Ling is really my Zhang Liang. ” Fang Xuanling's strategy is really powerful, because the court officials are divided into internal ministers and foreign ministers.
Xiangzhong, Changshizhong, Shizhong, Sancai, Zhulang, Doctor, etc. all belong to the ministers.
The emperor has the power to appoint ministers, and he directly decrees the edict.
To appoint foreign ministers, it is necessary to go through the two provinces of Zhongshu and Menxia.
From this point of view, Li Mu is actually just an emperor's minister, and has nothing to do with the court.
This is also the reason why Li Mu was not placed on the cusp.
At the beginning of the establishment of the traffic superintendent, Li Mu set it as being under the emperor's direct subordination.
Li Mu didn't think of these at the time, but it was just in line with this degree.
In this way, all the officials of the traffic superintendent are the emperor's ministers.
Therefore, the appointment of a young eunuch is the power that the emperor should belong, and he does not even have to go through the two provinces under the Zhongshu Gate.
This basically had no impact on the court, and it also avoided the emperor's sudden use of Li Mu and the private speculation of the ministers.
Fang Xuanling's strategy took advantage of this, which not only gave Li Mu the corresponding power, but also relieved Li Shimin's worries.
Fang Xuanling said a few words modestly, and suddenly said: "The minister thinks that it is inappropriate for the emperor to order Li Yi to take charge of the divine guard. ” Li Shimin's face froze and asked, "What's wrong?"
"With Li Muzhi's intelligence, how can he not be aware of the emperor's intention to order Li Yi to take charge of the Divine Guard, and the ministers think that the Divine Guard is subordinate to the forbidden army, and it should naturally be controlled by the emperor.
Li Shimin naturally understood in his heart that Fang Xuanling was accusing himself of changing his mind halfway.
In fact, Li Shimin also regretted a little, he could do this matter in a dignified manner, but he was made like a thief by himself.
But Li Shimin also knew that the essence of this matter was that he robbed Li Mu's guard camp, and he felt a little indebted in his heart, so he subconsciously ordered Li Yi to take charge of the Divine Guard, in order to express that he had no selfish intentions.
Li Shimin laughed embarrassedly a few times, knowing that he couldn't hide it from Fang Xuanling, "Xuanling can have a remedy" Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: "It's not advisable to draw snakes to add enough, since the wood is already in the boat, then there is no need to do it again." ” Li Shimin's face was uncertain, but he thought that what Fang Xuanling said was not unreasonable, so he nodded yes. 。
