Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, a political affairs hall was set up in the Menxia Province for the prime minister to discuss and handle state affairs. Originally, only the Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong and Shangshu left and right Pushe were present. However, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, there were many prime ministers. Officials who were in charge of the third rank of the Central Secretariat, or the title of the Minister of the Central Secretariat or the same as the General Secretary of the Central Secretariat, could also join them to participate in the State Affairs Office, and often there were five or six people. An important change during the period was that the Zhengshi Hall moved from the Menxia Province to the Central Secretariat during the reign of Emperor Zhongzong. In the Kaiyuan period, when Li Longji was officially in power, the era of a bunch of prime ministers was officially over.

From Kaiyuan to Tianbao, there were only two prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, and on a rare occasion, three. Even so, there were farces in which everyone had a quarrel that turned red and even had to fist.

But there is no doubt that such a scene will happen in the current political affairs hall. At this moment, the minor officials of the five departments of the official, the cardinal, the military, the household, and the judicial and etiquette stood by the side with their hands down, not daring to say a word, but their eyes were all secretly glancing at Du Shiyi who was officially discussing the matter here for the first time. After Pei Kuan was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh deeply and said helplessly: "Jun Li, the matter is so serious, Your Majesty is seriously ill and seriously injured. I really can't bear such a big burden. You are the right prime minister, so why should you come up with an idea? Should you choose one from the kings to supervise the country?"

"Your Majesty should have made such a decision. I, as the Prime Minister, just named me, Brother Pei, you know."

Seeing that Pei Kuan was going to persuade him again, Du Shiyi shook his head and said, "What's more, there are rumors now that there are all kinds of good and ugly words. To be honest, I was reluctant to go back to Chang'an this time and was unhappy to get into such a muddy water. Now that your Majesty is unconscious, we are just talking about such a big thing. What do outsiders say? Let's do this, don't count me. Brother Pei can order someone to notify the Secretary of the Central Committee, the Censorate, the Left and the Chief of the Shangshu and the Sixth Ministry of the Hall to discuss the matter of the royal family and the state supervision. In this way, at least no one will question any arbitrary power."

Du Shiyi said this in front of the minor officials of the fifth department of the Political Affairs Hall. Therefore, Pei Kuan agreed and sent someone to contact all parties, and the news spread wildly. No one expected that Du Shiyi would not interfere with this matter. The officials who were cautious about the royal grandson of the tandem were immediately in an uproar.

Du Shiyi, who threw out such the biggest bait, pulled out of the palace at this moment. He did not go back to his own house first, but went straight to Cui's house in Pingkangfang. His sister and daughter married the Cui family's wife one after another, making the relationship between him and the Cui family so deep that it could not be described in ordinary words. Therefore, looking at the many servants who were pouring water to wash the floor in the backyard of the Cui family, he did not say anything to Cui Wuniang and Cui Jiuniang, but said: "In the future, Chang'an will be in trouble. The Cui family will fight back this time. Next time others make up their ideas, they will either have to consider it carefully or use more sharp means."

"Without the edicts of the Secretariat and the handwriting of His Majesty, I just want to take the Cui family with just one sentence. It's simply a foolish dream that my uncle and grandpa had been demoted at the beginning, so who is afraid of whom?" Cui Jiuniang sneered indifferently, then turned her head to look at her sister and said, "But those imperial guards are really shameful. The people who say that they can't beat the Cui family's servants."

"This is not a good thing. You really think too simple." Cui Wuniang knew that the Cui family was re-emerging due to the coup, but her uncle Cui Tae-zhi and his father Cui Ye-zhi never took charge of soldiers throughout their lives. Now that they still have such strength, they will definitely attract others' fear. The younger brother Cui Jian-xuan, as Du Shiyi's brother-in-law, served as the governor of Changzhou, held a considerable force in Jiannandao, but after all, it was beyond reach. So, thinking of the eldest brother Cui Cheng-xun, who is now inheriting the Duke of Zhao, she suddenly asked, "Can the 19th Lang let Cheng-xun or the Imperial Guard?"

If this were to be the past, it would have been an extremely outrageous request. But now that the emperor has caused such a huge storm, Du Shiyi even said that he would not care about it and would not be ruthless if he tried to get some other benefits for himself.

He smiled slightly, and then said lightly: "This is exactly what I want to say today. Duke Zhao is your leader. The Dian Yinjun is too big. What's more, the imperial guards are now broken to the point, so why bother to touch this mess? Youlin's flying dragon cavalry has just started to train. If you don't dislike it, let Cui Zhi be the deputy for Youlin. I have already ordered Du Sui to choose 500 elite soldiers from the vanguard camp to hand them over to them as instructors and foundations, and to hold this flying dragon cavalry that has been defending Chang'an with the Du family and the Cui family and has the elite foundation in the army in his hands. This is the real capital to establish a foothold in Chang'an."

As soon as these words were said, Cui Wuniang and Cui Jiuniang were both overjoyed. Cui Yi is now just a member of the Sixth-rank Temple Department. Although he is a clear stream, he really cannot learn much. In such a year, he will be beneficial to the Cui family, whose descendants are not prosperous. When the two sisters agreed and sent Du Shiyi away together, Cui Jiuniang suddenly asked, "Du Shijiu, although you say nothing about the East Palace, Xia Qing will definitely get involved this time. Do you have anything to tell him?"

"Xia Qing is Xia Qing, I am me, I don't want to point fingers at him." After saying that, Du Shiyi thought about Wang Jin's utilitarian nature, pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do this, just tell him that the prince and the king of Guangping, King Jianning, have not yet been posthumously conferred. Since he had a good friendship with the prince back then, now he can stand on a selfless standpoint and solve the posthumous title first."

When Du Shiyi returned to his private residence in Xuanyangfang, he saw that Wannian County Party had sent someone to help him repair the damaged courtyard wall and gate. Wannian ordered Cui Peng to wait there in person. Of course, Du Shiyi would not say anything serious to his nephew and son-in-law in front of others, and immediately invited someone to speak at home. As soon as he entered Dushi study, Cui Peng talked about the scene when the imperial guards surrounded the house at that time and became angry: "If Youlin had not been in the county party and had to suppress me, I would have to stop them."

"Do you think your two aunts were killing people at that time, but Youlin only knew to hide in your Wannian County Party, so he was too weak?"

"Father-in-law, that's not what I mean..."

Seeing Cui Peng's face embarrassed, Du Shiyi shook his head and said, "You, the chief officer, must study hard with your fifth aunt. In addition to this battle of defense in Chang'an, don't be surprised by your grandfather's work outside, but the rest of your Cui family have always been low-key in Chang'an for many years, so this time, he suddenly showed his combat power and determination to let people look at it, which can also dispel the little thoughts of many people. As for the Du family, whether I or Guangyuan, I have been too prominent in these years. Youlin has been hiding his shortcomings for many years. The battle in Chang'an has shown a little bit. Now it is a little weaker, but it will make people feel that this is his nature and it is easier for him to act."

"Ah?" Cui Peng realized that there was such a subtle difference. Seeing that Du Youlin was already waiting in the study, he suddenly felt a little guilty and immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Brother, I took it too naturally just now. Fortunately, my father-in-law reminded you, I will apologize."

Du Youlin didn't want his brother-in-law to be embarrassed, so he quickly helped the person up and whispered in his ear: "I just got the Grandpa's instructions at that time, otherwise you think I could bear it?"

Cui Peng then replied a little bit of confidence. In fact, the first time he was in charge of the head office was Wannian County, the world's number one county, so he would not mention the trouble. He whispered and repeatedly reminded Du Youlin to give him more in the future, but he did not dare to stay in Du Shiyi's private house during official business hours. He quickly said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he heard Du Shiyi say that his uncle Cui Zhi would enter the Feilongqi to be Du Youlin's deputy. He was immediately overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

As Cui Ye's youngest son, Cui Ye is not as brave as Cui Jianxuan. His official career has always been unblocked, and now he has finally settled.

Only his father and son were left, and Du Shiyi spoke more casually. As the eldest son, Du Guangyuan could be said to be a strict father. In addition to asking Wang Zhongsi to teach martial arts and military techniques, he also threw people to the people's houses to raise them, and threw people in front to serve as soldiers. When the man got married, he rushed to the Western Regions. However, Du Youlin, the youngest son, spent his childhood with him, but after he grew up a little, he grew up in Chang'an, but even so, he almost didn't worry about it. The same was true for the siege of Chang'an this time. Under such a desperate situation, this son who seemed to be growing in a wealthy nest burst out with the most dazzling light.

"Today you went to Wannian County Party Committee to avoid the storm. Where are the others in the family?"

"I gathered people in front of Ah Niang's bedroom, closed every door, and sprinkled beans in the yard, which could always stop it. Anyway, Brother Du Sui would definitely arrive in time, so everyone was not panicked, not to mention that there were not many imperial guards coming, and there were hundreds of generals from the Du family. If they really wanted to fight, they could last for a while. As for Xue Song and Li Huaiyu, I dressed them up as entourage and took them to my brother-in-law to his brother-in-law."

"Very good." Du Shiyi smiled at the young son, signaled him to sit down and talk, and then he spit out a shocking news, "This morning, Hebei sent a military newspaper and a defeated battle was fought in front."

"What?" Du Youlin, who had just sat down, almost jumped up. Seeing his father's calm expression, he sat down again with awkwardly, "The rebels are already at a loss, how could it be..."

"There is nothing impossible. The people under An Lushan are definitely not frivolous. This time I just have an advantage of being calculating and not being intentional. Not to mention that I am really a little clever. What's more, the morale of the army will fluctuate because of many things, such as the rumors released by the rebels, and our own concerns. In short, I will rush back soon, and I will take you Du Sui A and the Forward Battalion away. I will ask him to divide 500 people to you. If you use these people as the foundation and instructor of the Flying Dragon Cavalry, how to gain a foothold in Chang'an City in the palace, the rest will depend on you."

Du Shiyi said and stretched out his hand. Seeing Du Youlin reaching out, he did not hold his son's hand, but smiled and slapped his hand hard: "Let go and do it, don't be afraid of whether to fight for the East Palace or the throne in the court. You don't have to worry about it, just pinch the Feilong Knight for me and find your two aunts. It's not a big deal, so don't report it to me."
