"Seeing is believing. Naturally, it's true."
Tang Tian pointed at the blooming peach blossoms and said to Tang Jian.
At that moment, Tang Jian was extremely excited. Only the heavens knew how poor he, the Minister of Revenue, was. For the sake of the national treasury, he had almost lost all his hair. If what Tang Tian said was true, then it would be a great fortune for the Great Tang!
"The Duke of Tang is indeed worthy of being the disciple of an Immortal. His methods are no different from that of an Immortal God!”
"That's right, that's right. In my opinion, the Duke of Tang is a living immortal.”
The ministers flattered him. Tang Tian was so powerful and knew immortal techniques. He might need Tang Tian's help in the future.
Li Shi Min, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at Tang Tian, who was being praised by the ministers, and his eyes were filled with gratification. It seemed that it was a blessing in disguise. He didn't expect that he could encounter the inheritance of immortals when he fell into the Wei River.
Li Shiming was relieved. From the looks of it, Tang Tian had already taken root in the court and was even well-versed in both civil and military affairs. If he passed the throne to Tang Tian in the future, it would probably be easy.
"Pass on my order. The Duke of Tang will be appointed as the Shangshu Ling. He will be in charge of the six departments, refugees, and the construction of the Great Tang.”
Li Shi Min's sudden words caused the crowd to explode.
It was the Imperial Decree! This was a second-grade official position. The official positions above the Shangshu Ling were all empty official positions. They were not official positions and had no real power.
However, the Shangshu Ling was different. It was in charge of the Shangshu Province, and this Shangshu Province was the existence that controlled the six ministries. Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling, and Shi Zhong were all called prime ministers.
The Tang Dynasty did not set up a Shangshu Ling because Li Shimin had been a Shangshu Ling in the past, so in order to avoid it, they did not set up a Shangshu Ling. Instead, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the two left and right ministers, were in charge of the Shangshu Province and were called the left and right prime ministers.
And now, in front of all the officials, Li Shiming wanted to confer Tang Tian the title of Shangshu Ling!
The reason why Zhangsun Wuji was known as the number one civil official was because he was the Head of the Ministry of Education. He was also one of the three provincial governors, the same rank as the Shangshu Ling. But to be honest, when it came to real power, the Imperial Decree was definitely number one in the imperial court!
Because even if it was a military matter, the imperial edict could still manage it. After all, one of the six departments included the Bureau of Military Personnel.
"Your Majesty, you can't! Although the Duke of Tang was talented, he was still too young. The Imperial Decree was in charge of national affairs. If it was not handled well, the price would be unbearable.”
Wei Zheng stood up and said.
At this moment, many of the officials were silent, including Zhangsun Wuji. Even though he wanted Tang Tian to receive countless benefits, he did not agree with Li Shiming's decision.
After all, the power of the Secretary of State was too great. It was not an exaggeration to say that his power was overwhelming the court and even surpassed that of the Secretary of State.
Moreover, just as Wei Zheng said, Tang Tian was too young. It was too risky for a nine-year-old Shangshu Ling to be in charge of the government affairs of the imperial court.
When Gan Luo was twelve years old, he was only an ordinary prime minister. One should not think that there was only one Prime Minister in the Imperial Court, just like the Great Tang. The Left and Right Pushe and the three provincial governors were all prime ministers.
Shang Shu Ling was definitely the most important prime minister, and the only one.
"That's right, Your Majesty. Why don't you let the Duke of Tang gain experience for a few years?”
Among the generals, Cheng Yaojin also stood up and said.
Li Shi Min also smiled because he could see that no one objected to Tang Tian being the official. However, this was also normal. Putting aside Tang Tian's other contributions, just the Azure Emperor's divine might that he displayed just now was enough to shock people.
It was a blessing for the Great Tang to have a celestial figure as its official.
However, Tang Tian was still too young. What if something went wrong if he really handed the Imperial Decree to him? After all, he was really just a child!
"Alright, dear ministers, stop talking. I think it will be fine. Du Qing and Fang Qing are left and right servants respectively. With them assisting at the side, I think Tang Xiang will handle it well.”
Li Shiming said. Hearing him call him Minister Tang, everyone knew that Li Shiming had made up his mind.
Although everyone sighed, they did not refute. This was because Li Shiming possessed absolute authority in the Great Tang. Everyone thought to themselves that this was indeed the case. With Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui around, this shouldn't be chaotic.
Tang Tian looked at Li Shimin. He wanted to reject him, even though he seemed to have a high position and could even be said to be the number one official in the Tang Empire.
However, Tang Tian did not like it because he felt that this position would be very troublesome. It was better to directly confer him a general and then go to the battlefield to kill the enemies.
However, when he met Li Shiming's eyes, Tang Tian could only sigh helplessly and accept it.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Tang Tian cupped his hands and said. If it was anyone else, they would probably kneel down in excitement.
However, Tang Tian did not care because he did not care about these false titles. He did not even care if Li Shiming was the Emperor of the Tang Empire. After all, with his current strength, he could simply ignore the secular imperial power.
