"Brother Yi, Yao Yi is sick. He has malaria." That night, Li Longji went to Zhuangzi again.
He found that moving to Xingqing Palace was the best decision. It was more convenient than coming to Zhuangzi from the Imperial City.
Li Yi was eating pig trotters. He was chewing food in his mouth and signaled Li Longji to take it himself.
Li Longji did not refuse. He looked at the braised pig trotters on the plate and picked one up. He took a small bite of the skin and ate it.
Li Yi swallowed the food in his mouth: "Yao Chong should retire. His family has gone too far."
Li Yi knew the situation very well.
If Yao Chong deliberately left Li Longji something to use against him, then Yao Chong should not have protected someone in Ziwei Province who took bribes.
The money that the other party took was given by foreigners. Why would such a person protect someone like him?
It was enough to get some benefits from his own family. How could he protect such a big thing just because he said so? Did he want to challenge the imperial power?
That was why Li Longji pardoned everyone except for that official.
Only then did Yao Chong realize that he had thought too much.
Now, save some face for him and save his son, and he will retire.
"If Yao Chong retires, who can be the prime minister?" Li Longji did not know what would happen in the future. He just felt that Yao Chong had handled everything in the Tang dynasty.
If he retires now, he can ask Yao Chong for help in the future. However, he will not give Yao Chong a nominal position.
"Old Song and Old Bi, one prime minister and one deputy. Song Jing will be the prime minister, and Bi Goo will be the deputy. It will be very interesting if the two of them work together."
Li Yi thought of two candidates. Bi Goo should be the prime minister in history. Li Longji wanted him to be the prime minister.
However, he died before he could become the prime minister.
According to history, Zhang Shuo had died a long time ago. When Yao Chong's son died, Lu Huaishen should still be alive.
Yuan Qianyao was supposed to replace Yao Chong, but Yuan Qianyao was not as good as Lu Huaishen.
Once Lu Huaishen was dead, Yao Chong's power would still be the same.
Song Jing became the Prime Minister.
The current situation was that a bunch of people who should have died were living quite comfortably. That wouldn't do. They had to go down.
There were two empty seats, one for Bi Goo and one for Song Jing.
"Why is Bi Goo the deputy?" Li Longji couldn't understand. Bi Goo was now the Minister of Revenue, while Song Jing was the Minister of Justice.
The Ministry of Revenue had more money and more power. The Ministry of Justice could only deal with low-level officials and commoners.
"If Bi Goo becomes the Prime Minister, he has to change to another position. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of money, while the Prime Minister is in charge of the country.
The Minister of Revenue is in charge of money. When the two conflict, Bi Goo will use the Ministry of Revenue's laws to manage the country, or use the country's laws to manage the Ministry of Revenue. "
Li Yi explained his reason. Bi Goo only thought about earning money and sat in that position.
He was the Prime Minister, but he still thought about earning money? The Prime Minister should consider the Ministry of Revenue.
"Okay!" Li Longji agreed. The matter was decided. Song Jing would be the Prime Minister, and Bi Goo would cooperate.
Li Yi could decide who would be the Prime Minister. He was still a Rank 2 civil official and a Rank 9 military official.
He didn't even go to the imperial court once. He was in charge of the matters in the imperial court.
Deng Zhou and Yao Yi's health were getting better day by day.
"Good medicine. Li Yi has done a great service. He should be rewarded." Yao Yi didn't know that his father was going to pass away.
He also didn't know that he was the one who said he wanted to reward him. He asked his father to pass away and also arranged two Prime Minister positions.
He was in a good mood when he found that he didn't have to die. He sent someone to Chang 'an to report that he would pass away in a few days, no more than ten days.
The lunar calendar entered September. Yao Yi, who was supposed to be dead, regained his vitality.
He didn't know that the faster he recovered, the faster his father would pass away.
A heavy rain fell. The clouds in the sky were dark, without any color.
The people were cheering, especially the people in the east of Taihang Mountains. This rain proved that the drought was over.
The people in Chang 'an saw a moderate rain. It fell in the morning and stopped at night. It wasn't satisfying.
Normally speaking, from the beginning of the year until now, the fields would be reduced.
Then the Emperor would go to Luoyang to look for food and come back two years later.
However, there was no problem with the lack of rain. There was a lot of well water and river water, and there was a water network.
After a moderate rain, people didn't have to water the wheat anymore. It saved them a lot of trouble.
After the rain, Lu Huaishen came and went directly to the Li Family Zhuangzi hospital. He was then transferred to the inpatient department.
"Old Lu, why did you catch a cold? I thought it was over. It's raining, and you still ran out. "
Li Yi put Lu Huaishen on a drip and smiled as he spoke to Lu Huaishen.
Lu Huaishen caught a cold and coughed.
He didn't even go to the imperial doctor. He went directly to Zhuangzi for a check-up and hospitalization.
Lu Huaishen was depressed. "I didn't run out. I just happened to be outside. I didn't get caught in the rain. It's just that I suddenly felt cold."
"It's okay. It's good that you're here. Your body isn't functioning well enough now. The speed at which you drink medicine is slow. We have to race against time.
Three days. You should be fine in three days. If you catch a cold, I'll take care of you. You can't die even if you want to. "
Li Yi reassured Lu Huaishen and his family.
Lu Huaishen was diagnosed early and treated early.
As long as there were no other complications, it was easy to treat.
"When I recover, I will resign and join the regiment. It will be more relaxing. If I don't beg for bones, I think I can still live."
"Of course. You don't have to worry about the matters in the regiment. There will be people to take care of it. Unless you need to clean up a place, you can go there and help."
Li Yi supported him. Don't be the Prime Minister. It's too tiring. When you're old, you should find something to do.
"Will the Tufan Empire take the initiative to attack this year? I heard that the people have been exchanged. There are still more than 400 Tufan soldiers left. "
Even though Lu Huaishen was about to leave, he was still thinking about the matters in the Imperial Court.
"This means that the Tufan Empire has captured many of our people. Some of our people should be dead. If not, why are there still Tufan prisoners left?
They won't be able to fight this winter. The morale of the new people is not stable. Some want revenge and will do something rash.
The higher-ups of the Tufan Empire must know about this. That's why they won't send them out to fight. Defense is the most important. "
Li Yi analyzed. The people who were captured by the Tufan Empire couldn't be full. They had poor food for many days and needed to rest.
There was also the morale. Most of the captured Tufan soldiers didn't want to fight. There were a few angry radicals. If they were asked to fight, they would be rash.
"My throat hurts. I want to cough but I can't." Lu Huaishen put down the matters at the border and told Li Yi about his physical condition like a child.
"Let me see. I'll suck your phlegm. You still need to take some medicine. Ambroxol hydrochloride. I'll give you an intravenous drip. The effect will be faster than oral."
Li Yi added medicine into the saline bottle and took the sputum suction machine to suck Lu Huaishen's phlegm.
