The chief prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the Secretariat of the Secretariat, and Zhang Jiuling, had a slender figure and a clear face. He was nearly 60 years old, but his waist was still straight, standing in the court like a beautiful tree in the wind.

Zhang Jiuling, whose courtesy name is Zishou, was extremely talented and had a child prodigy since childhood. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Chang'an in Wu Zetian. He went through the four dynasties of Wuzhou, Zhongzong, Ruizong and Xuanzong. After several demotions, he could turn over every time. He was truly an indestructible Xiaoqiang.

As a writer, poet and literary leader of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Jiuling had a purple robe and jade belt, holding an ivory tablet, and his demeanor was impeccable, but he was extremely inconsistent, but he had a big tip on his shoulder.

As if he sensed the emperor's look at him, Zhang Jiuling raised his head, smiled slightly at the emperor, and then took out seven or eight tablets from the brocade bag like a demonstration.

A clamor sounded, and other civil servants also opened the secret bags and took out the tablets inside, and arranged them in front of them like weapons and ammunition.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had a little pain in his brain. He was prepared.

The tablets held by civil and military officials are written records, and it is a common practice for everyone to hold one.

But the rules changed when Zhang Jiuling came to Zhang Jiuling. Zhang Jiuling was in poor health and talked a lot, so he would prepare a treasure bag every time he went to court, which is now also called a pot bag, which contains several tablets.

Other officials followed suit, and each person carried a sack when he went to court, as if it was not so, that they could not reflect their sincere hearts.

The bigger the matter at the court meeting, the more tablets the civil servants prepared. They can not only make records, but also serve as weapons for close combat. They can not only fight in close combat, but also perform medium and long-range throws.

Although the civil servants are gentle and gentle, they will be willing to fight.

Sitting next to Zhang Jiuling was another prime minister, the minister of the ministry, Pei Yaoqing.

Pei Yaoqing, whose courtesy name was Huanzhi, was born in the Pei family in Hedong. He was promoted to the official position as a boy. Last year, because the report was correct, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was appointed as the Minister of the Huangmen from Jingzhao Yin, and immediately became the prime minister.

Pei Yaoqing was in his early fifties, had a moderate figure and a cold complexion, with short beards under his jaw. She sat upright on the bed and her eyes were drooping, as if she was closing her eyes to rest.

The third prime minister of the Tang Dynasty next to him, Li Linfu, the third rank of the minister of the Ministry of Rites, seemed a little uneasy.

Li Linfu's courtesy name is Genu, and the Li Tang royal family. In terms of his seniority, he was the uncle of Emperor Xuanzong. He entered the officialdom with his family, so he naturally could not pee in the same pot as the civil servant group headed by Zhang Jiuling, who was from the imperial examination. In addition, he had just been appointed as the prime minister and did not have many gangs in the court, and he was a certain minority.

Li Linfu keenly discovered that the civil servants carried a lot of "weapons" today, and maybe his butt would be sneak attacked again.

The reason for this is "again" is that more than three months ago, everyone was quarreling at the court meeting about whether to hold the emperor's birthday, Qianqiu Festival. Li Linfu just flattered the emperor and was hit by the butt by the tablet flying behind him.

Li Linfu was so angry. He was a dignified prime minister and not a living target. Why should he be beaten?

What made him even more aggrieved was that the emperor finally canceled the Qianqiu Festival this year, and his flattery hit the horse's legs.

Afterwards, the emperor did not pursue the perpetrator, and he didn't even ask about it. The Censorate forgot about this, as if it had never happened.

Since then, Li Linfu has completely alienated from the civil service group and has become scheming. He can say less in the court, and he can hide if he can, and he will do his homework in the court.

When Li Linfu was whispering, Zhang Jiuling had already coughed lightly and stood up, looked at the Emperor of Tang, and said loudly: "Youzhou good news, the governor Zhang Shougui defeated the Khitan, and killed the Khitan King Qu Lie and Ke Tugan. I congratulate you for Your Majesty, and I congratulate you for the Tang Dynasty!"

After saying that, Zhang Jiuling raised his tablet and bowed to salute ninety degrees.

"I congratulate you for Your Majesty, and I congratulate you for the Tang Dynasty!" On the side of the military officer, the General of the Left Jinwu Guard and Minister of War, and is also the most capable prince of the Tang Dynasty. King Xin'an Li Yi said with his hands crossed.

"I congratulate you for Your Majesty, and I congratulate you for the Tang Dynasty!" All civil and military officials stood up one after another, saluting to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang happily or enthusiastically.

Li Linfu was dancing in a daze, so he started dancing in the hall.

Dancing is a very formal etiquette, which means saluting the emperor through dancing.

Logically speaking, the war in the north has achieved great victory, and it doesn’t matter if everyone dances together, but Zhang Jiuling’s bowing ceremony is also particular, which expresses sincere congratulations and also expresses Confucianism’s consistent attitude and position against the expansion of force.

In contrast, Li Linfu's dance is purely flattery.

Moreover, Li Genu's dance posture is really ugly.

As the saying goes, as long as you are not embarrassed, the embarrassing one is someone else.

Emperor Li Longji was very embarrassed. He was not only the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but also the top writer, musician, and dancer in the Tang Dynasty, with his highest aesthetic standards.

Li Linfu's dancing posture is really... hard to describe in one word!

However, Li Longji was in a good mood. Although it was the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, the threats around the Tang Dynasty have never been lifted, and wars have broken out from time to time.

The Xi people in the north, the Khitan tribes, the eastern and western Turks, and the powerful Tubo in the west all brought great pressure to the Tang Dynasty's border.

To the west of the Pamir Mountains, the rising cannibals were eroding the Tang Dynasty's power in Central Asia after destroying the Persian Empire. The Persian Protectorate, which was set up in Persia in the early years, no longer existed.

Therefore, Zhang Shougui's great victory can be said to boost people's hearts, boost the morale of the army, and also intimidate the forces around the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, after the death of the Khitan King, the Khitan would inevitably fall into civil strife. The pressure from Youzhou was lifted, and the treasury of the court could save more money and materials to be used elsewhere.

Well, this saved military expenditure is enough to repair the Hot Spring Palace?

After pinching his nose and watching Li Linfu's dance, Li Longji praised against his will: "Li Xiang is intent!"

Well, Li Longji just wanted to praise Li Linfu, but he just didn't feel that Zhang Jiuling was neither humble nor arrogant.

Li Linfu immediately smiled and said quickly: "For this great victory, I have also written a poem..."

Stop, one injury is not enough!

Li Longji quickly stopped and said, "Poetry is the flower on the brocade. First, brighten the brocade, first brighten the brocade."

All the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief. Let’s not talk about Li Linfu’s poetry level for the time being, but the writing was very numb and I really couldn’t listen to it.

What's more, are you serious about showing off your poetry in front of Zhang Jiuling and He Zhizhang?

Zhang Jiuling continued to preside over the meeting and began to discuss the imperial court's rewards to Zhang Shougui. In fact, they were all planned before. The rewards were: General of the Right Yulin Guard who was appointed as the third rank, General of the Wusan official as the second rank, and General of the Auxiliary State who was appointed as the second rank, and Censor who was appointed as the third rank.

Just when Zhang Shougui presented the enemy chief's thief head to the Eastern Capital, he also issued the gold, silver, money and silk rewarded to Zhang Shougui, and Zhang Shougui's two sons were also promoted.

After the discussion was over, everyone was happy.
