Not long after, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui entered the hall. After bowing to Li Shimin, they sat down in the hall. With a smile on his face, Li Shimin went straight to the point and talked about Du Qi taking over Suzhou. He also talked about how Du Qi was going to arrange for the governor of Suzhou.
After talking about all kinds of things, Li Shimin said, "What do you think of Erlang's suggestion?"
Du Ruhui sat below but did not speak.
It involved Du Qi.
This was not easy.
The reason was very simple. Du Qi was his son. If Du Ruhui suggested that the emperor agree to Du Qi's request, he would be suspected of abusing his power for personal gain. Du Ruhui was not willing to intervene.
Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, I think we can agree to Du Qi's request. At the same time, tell Du Qi that the imperial court will let him choose the governor of Suzhou, but the governor of Shazhou and Guazhou will be arranged by the imperial court. With these two people, even if Du Qi promotes the governor of Suzhou, it will not be a problem. "
After hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
Fang Xuanling's suggestion was good.
Du Qi was now far away in the Western Regions and working hard in Suzhou. It was not easy for the imperial court to stabilize the situation in Longyou Road. At this time, if he rejected Du Qi's proposal, it would easily dampen Du Qi's enthusiasm and make Du Qi have other ideas.
Directly agreeing to Du Qi's proposal and appointing the governor of Shazhou and Guazhou was tantamount to cutting off Suzhou. Even if the governor of Suzhou was promoted by Du Qi, when Du Qi went to the Western Regions in the future, because of Shazhou and Guazhou, there would be no impact.
Du Ruhui also understood Fang Xuanling's intention in an instant. He did not even think and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Fang Xuanling's arrangement."
Zhangsun Wuji also said, "Your Majesty, I also agree."
Li Shimin had no doubts about this suggestion. Now that all three of his confidants agreed, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since there are no objections, then it's settled. But how should we choose the candidates for the provincial governor of Shazhou and Guazhou? "
Zhangsun Wuji took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, as the candidates for the provincial governor of Shazhou and Guazhou are close to the border, I feel that they should be people who are both civil and military in order to govern the place well. I suggest that we select someone who is proficient in both civil and martial arts to take up the post. "
Li Shimin said, "Who is the most suitable?"
Zhangsun Wuji said, "As for the Shazhou Provincial Governor candidate, I suggest that Wei Shuyu take up the position. The Guazhou Provincial Governor candidate will be Su Dingfang. Moreover, Su Dingfang is not only the governor of Guazhou, but also the military governor of Guazhou, overseeing the military affairs of Guazhou and Shazhou. "
Pausing for a moment, Zhangsun Wuji continued, "Wei Shuyu and Erlang are in-laws. Even if something happens, he can speak to Erlang. Su Dingfang was loyal and had some friendship with Du Qi. Both of them are loyal and have a good relationship with Du Qi. There won't be any conflicts, and Erlang won't have any ideas. "
Li Shimin nodded. He agreed with Zhangsun Wuji's suggestion. Because of this suggestion, he took into account the relationship with Du Qi and also arranged for capable people to take up the post.
This arrangement even considered that even if Du Qi had any intentions, Wei Shuyu and Su Dingfang would be able to restrict Du Qi.
This was Zhangsun Wuji's plan.
Li Shimin was well aware, but he didn't point it out. He looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and asked, "Xuanling, Keming, what do you two think?"
Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, I have no objections."
Du Ruhui said, "I also agree."
Both of them agreed.
They all had the same opinion.
Seeing this, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Alright, since there are no objections, then let's do it this way. When the weather warms up after the new year, arrange for two people to take up the post. "
"Yes!"
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui agreed at the same time.
Li Shimin said, "Dismissed."
"Yes!"
The three of them turned and left.
After Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Zhangsun Wuji left, Zhangsun Wuji left first. But Fang Xuanling looked at Du Ruhui and said with a smile, "Brother Keming, Du Erlang this boy is really extraordinary! In a short time, he has already tidied up Suzhou and opened up a situation in the west of Longyou Road. Under the current situation, Longyou Road should be safe. "
Du Ruhui said, "You're too polite, Minister Fang."
Fang Xuanling said, "Brother Keming, I have a request, I hope you can agree."
Du Ruhui said with a smile, "Minister Fang, you and I have known each other for decades. Before His Majesty started the war in Taiyuan, we already knew each other. Now, we've known each other for decades. There's nothing that can't be said, just say it. "
Fang Xuanling said, "My second son, Fang Xuanling, is really a good-for-nothing. My idea is to send him to the Western Region, to your family's Erlang's side, and let him follow Du Erlang to do things. It can be considered as an experience for him. "
Du Ruhui suddenly frowned and said, "Can your wife agree to this?"
Du Ruhui knew about the situation of the Fang family. Even though Fang Xuanling had great power in the imperial court, at home, Fang Xuanling dared not to argue with Fang Xuanling's wife.
He just listened to Fang Xuanling's wife.
Fang Xuanling smiled embarrassedly and immediately said, "This matter doesn't need her consent. It has to be arranged like this since it involves my second son. Only in this way can my second son become a useful person. "
Du Ruhui said, "Okay, as long as your wife agrees, then there's no problem."
Fang Xuanling suddenly changed the topic and said, "Brother Keming, about Erlang's display of power in the Western Region, it's better to be cautious. Although it's a good thing, you still have to be cautious. In short, don't be arrogant. "
Du Ruhui's eyes flashed with a bright light, but he immediately recovered his calmness and said, "I understand."
The two talked for a while and then left.
Du Ruhui did not go home immediately, because he still had a lot of government affairs to deal with. Du Ruhui went straight to the office and continued to busy himself with government affairs. It was close to the end of the year, and there was a lot of government affairs backlog. Du Ruhui simply had no time to spare.
In the evening, Du Ruhui put aside the unfinished business and left the office to go home.
When Du Ruhui returned home, he saw his wife, the Jeong Clan, Li Yanyun, and Qianxue were all there.
Du Ruhui said, "Madam, what are you doing?"
The Jeong Clan said, "Today, Erlang sent a letter back, saying that Jiuquan County has been stabilized, and the two girls, Yanyun and Qianxue, will set off for the Western Region after the New Year."
Du Ruhui said with a smile, "This is a good thing. After all, Erlang is alone in the Western Region, and there is no one around him who cares about him. Yanyun and Qianxue can also take care of Erlang. "
After a pause, Du Ruhui said, "In fact, today, His Majesty also received the news sent back by Erlang. His Majesty is also very satisfied with Erlang's pacification of Suzhou. "
The Jeong Clan said, "I don't care about the affairs of the court. Yanyun and Qianxue can go to the Western Region in advance. I have carefully inquired about the Western Region of Longyou Road. It is extremely barren and lacks meat. Qianxue and Qianxue have to bring enough food when they set off for the New Year. Well, anyway, they have to be well prepared. "
Du Ruhui said, "Madam, you can arrange this matter."
He had always been in charge of the internal affairs. The Jeong Clan had the final say in the affairs of the residence, big and small. After all, the Jeong Clan took care of the house and handled everything in an orderly manner.
This was something that Du Ruhui was very satisfied with.
The Jeong Clan got Du Ruhui's nod and did not say anything more. She left with Li Yanyun and Qianxue to instruct them.
Because there were many things to arrange.
