In the Shendu City in October, there is a slaughter of the autumn and winter seasons.

Although Li Tong was able to turn sideways outside the whirlpool, through his interaction with the times, he could also feel the panic and hesitation in people's hearts. For Dou Xiying, the son of the Dou family who caused all this, he also had to sigh why a mouse feces spoiled a pot of porridge, you can't wait for a while before leaving your relatives?

Lu Li was still immersed in the joy of recovering the four towns of Anxi, but inside and outside the court, everyone was staring and watching, preparing for the next round of reshuffle.

According to the new calendar of Wu Zhou, November after October is the first month of the following year, and December is the wax month. During this time, there will be many ceremonies held together. So October before that, it is destined to be a lot of big things.

By mid-October, the imperial court had announced several important appointments. The first is Wang Xiaojie, who recovered the four towns, and used the capital of Anxi to protect the Xia official book and add Pingzhang political affairs.

This appointment is naturally full of Wu Zetian's personal style, that is, sudden luck. Wang Xiaojie is indeed a great meritorious, but he directly worships the prime minister, and his prestige is still a little reluctant, he was born in the army, and has not served as the governor of Southern Province, and it is a little unreasonable to suddenly become the prime minister.

It is said that this matter has also caused controversy in the political affairs hall, and all the prime ministers have argued that it is okay to add officials to knighthood, but it is still too much to pay direct attention to the prime minister.

However, he was cross-examined by Wu Zetian, and in the old year, Wei was in the southern province and had enough prestige, but as a result, the foreign war was scrapped, if Wang Xiaojie was unbearable, who could compete for merit in the political hall?

The words were naturally cross-examined and the prime ministers were speechless, but this is also because they are unwilling to raise the bar with this old lady, you must know that Wei is also your person!

Although Wang Xiaojie pays homage to the prime minister, he is far away in Anxi, which does not seem to affect the court situation, but it indicates that the next turmoil will not be small. If there is turmoil in the court, the border generals will be implicated, and vice versa.

In the old years, Wu Zetian did not hesitate to punish the generals, to ensure that her intentions were realized, and now the great generals have become the people she promoted and arranged, so they really understand and pray.

The next is that Wei Yuanzhong stayed in Xijing and entered the court as the doctor of Zuosu Zhengtai and worshiped the prime minister, the former prime minister Lou Shide stayed in Xijing, and Cui Yuanzong, the waiter of Luantai, dismissed the governor and transferred to the Qiuguan waiter, and Yao Xuan, the left Cheng of Wenchang, came out as the Luantai Nayan.

Wei Yuanzhong is the empress's confidant, which Li Tong can testify, this old man also sued him not long ago, and now he has returned to the dynasty to take charge of the Xiantai and pay homage to the prime minister, which is also a matter of course.

As for Cui Yuanzong, the waiter of Luantai, Li Tong felt that this guy was a bit of a four, and at this moment he was transferred out of Luantai and replaced by Yao Xuan, a Jiangnan person. Yao Xuan was demoted to Guangxi in the old years, and he was looking for mountains, rivers and plants with the word "Wu" to present them, and he would definitely not be so rigid when he encountered trouble.

As for Lou Shide, who was exiled to Xijing, he is a good man, and he is the one who spits on himself, because he has been in charge of side affairs for a long time, and he has little management in the court. Now going to Xijing, it should be the result of a compromise between Wu Zetian and the ministers, and he chose such a candidate who is acceptable to everyone to sit in Xijing.

This is the case with personnel transfers at the prime minister's level, and as for the next level, there are two more eye-catching ones. One is Peng Zeling Di Renjie, who was transferred back to the court to serve as a household official. The other is Lai Junchen, who was refuted by Li Tong, who was not pardoned, but recovered the stolen goods and then degraded the distant township, but because the recovery of the stolen goods was unclear, he needed to return to the capital to report his crimes.

For his grandmother's genius-like brain circuit, Li Tong can only say that he admires it, and he can get people back.

Of course, there are also personnel deployments related to Li Tong, and Wei Yuanzhong recommended several Xijing officials to join the court, including his distant cousins Fang Rong and Xu Jian. Fang Rong returned to the capital as the palace attendant, and Xu Jian served as the superintendent of the imperial history.

These two personnel appointments are of great significance to Li Tong. Although these two are ranked in the seventh or eighth rank, they belong to the order of the enshrined officials, and they do not need to participate in the selection of officials, but are awarded by the Feng Pavilion.

In other words, even if Li Tong can influence the election to a certain extent, it is difficult for him to directly intervene in the appointment of the official. Although Wei Yuanzhong, the old guy, sued him behind his back, but the person is still in the future, so he will give two big gifts first.

It is still of great significance that the constitution and Taiwan have a position inclined to their own mouthpiece, at least the ordinary and small things can be resolved within the constitution, and they will not be impeached at every turn.

It must be known that no matter how strong his holy family is, if he is constantly targeted by the officials, he will inevitably be annoyed for a long time. Even if there is any fault that cannot be resolved within Xiantai, he can still say a few words back when he is scolded.

The last time the martial arts fought back against him, I am afraid that the crime is not big enough, so that the prime minister will come forward to protect him, eat a trench and grow wise, and he will definitely not make such a low-level mistake again next time. So Li Tong also needs to have his own voice in Xiantai, and everyone hurts each other.

In addition, he also heeded his aunt's reminder to maintain a relatively harmonious personal relationship with the new heavenly official servant Zheng Gao.

Zheng Gao was born in Xingyang Zheng, and although Xingyang Zheng is also a Shandong surname, in the early Tang Dynasty, life was not good. One is that when the Tang Dynasty started its business, their cat had been mixed with Wang Shichong in Luoyang for a period of time, and the other was that they took the wrong side in the political tide of the early Tang Dynasty and interacted closely with the prince Li Jiancheng.

Zheng Gao is now an official in Tianguan, and he is a pawn of the office, and he is already a rare leader of the Zheng family in Xingyang in the current situation.

And such a character also needs to rely on a higher-level character, before that, his person was not visible, the third and fourth were not good, as for the martial arts, it really did not meet the aesthetics of these serious Shandong Gaomen.

At this time, Li Tong handed over an olive branch, and he was able to replace the heavenly official and squire, and the direct reason was also Li Tong's impeachment of Wu Sansi. For this reason, the interaction with each other is also smooth.

Of course, it is now the election month, and the officials are also the attention of the masses, even if there is any friendship development, it is not easy to put it on the surface. Even the agreement to go to Zheng's house to congratulate Zheng Gao on his ascension to the governor of Southern Province is scheduled for next spring.

In view of the grim situation of the current black clouds pressing down on the city, Li Tong can only hope in his heart that Zheng Gao can survive this round of turmoil, and not let this old appointment and congratulations become goodbye or even condolences.

However, although they can't be more affectionate with each other, Li Tong has also benefited a lot from reaching a tacit understanding with such an elected official.

In the Tang Dynasty, although some stereotypes have been formed, the subjective intention of the division and the chief of the department still accounts for a large proportion.

For example, Ma Zhou in the Zhenguan period, Pei Xingjian in the Gaozong Dynasty, Xue Yuanchao and others are all known for their selection of duties and the good use of people.

And one of the big reasons why the reputation of these people has been praised and praised is that a large number of people who are disappointed in the election of officials are psychologically troubled, so I did not ascend to the throne, not because I am not talented, but because I have not met the kind of chief who knows how to make good use of people.

There is no standard for the level of talent. Everyone feels that they have no talent, so it is inevitable to speak. Therefore, in the Kaiyuan period, when Pei Guangting served as the prime minister, he introduced the "Follow Qualifications", and took seniority as an important criterion for the appointment of officials.

Of course, this law has mixed reviews, and the critics are mainly focused on not asking about talents, only relying on qualifications, and rising to a high position, so it was stopped soon after its implementation.

But in every thing that desires to be beneficial, it is necessary to suffer its evils. Yang Guozhong, the famous minister of Tianbao, is not a talent selected by qualifications, he wears dozens of positions, and he has done a great career that Fang Du, Yao and Song have not done together.

The reason why the elites criticize the qualifications is that the law is too transparent and open, which greatly reduces the room for maneuver. The Han scholars criticized this law, that is, who doesn't want to be on the rise and become a eunuch at four o'clock?

Of course, Li Tong doesn't like to follow qualifications now, and many of his former members have full ranks and keep the election, and now that he has gone through the door of electing the chief official, of course it is convenient to do it. He started late, and if he didn't steal a step, he would really be waiting for death and being hopeless.

For the deceased members of the door, Li Tong naturally has a distinction between light and heavy grades in his heart, and the first thing that needs to be taken care of is naturally Liu Youqiu and a group of old people.

Liu Youqiu did not join the army for a long time in Lanzhou, and with this Anxi military exploit, Li Tong planned to appoint it from the state as a county commander and master the power of a landlord, which was of great benefit to the soldiers who dared to take root in Longyou.

There are also Zhang Jiazhen and Wang Renjiao who have not been elected for a long time, according to the convention, these two people are rare to be newly awarded in a few years, and of course they don't need to care about that now. Li Tong had already summoned these two people to return to Shendu as soon as possible to participate in the election of Dongjiquan, and it was best to arrange them in a position with real power in.

Shi Sizhen and others in Xijing City, Li Tong does not plan to transfer for the time being. Next, Xijing will become a hunting ground for cool officials, and at this moment, it is a victory to survive.

There is also a seed player of the Shenlong coup here in Shendu, Huan Yanfan, but at the moment Li Tong is still lacking in the forbidden army system, and is preparing to gradually intervene through the Beiya Stable and the Polo League, but he has not been able to exert his strength for the time being.

On the Yizhou side, in addition to the eldest brother Li Guangshun who is going to be an envoy, Li Tong also plans to send Guo Yuanzhen to Yizhou as a governor. This guy is too good at staying in the place, and he was transferred to the Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and at the same time, he can broaden his horizons and hone his skills.

Thinking that Guo Yuanzhen is too slippery, even if Li Guangshun goes to Yizhou, he may not be able to control him.

Therefore, Li Tong also plans to add a layer of fetters, taking advantage of this year's winter gathering, to change the position of Guo Yuanzhen and his old son, and move from the officials of Bapin Temple to Southern Province, which is both a show of favor and a beating, you kid has a hostage in my hands, dare not be honest, I will let your father go to Jiaozhi, so that you can also experience the wind and waves of the South China Sea!

In addition to these basic positions, the personnel relationship is even more complicated, and it is difficult for Li Tong to maintain complete control at the moment, so he can only maintain a benign interaction first, and gradually introduce these personnel into his core step by step.

In addition to forming a party behind the scenes, of course, superficial work must also be done. For example, Li Tong was preparing to give his grandmother a birthday song to celebrate his birthday in Xijing, and he is also busy rehearsing at the moment.

However, he didn't expect that he had avoided Yunshao Mansion, and he still inevitably had contact with his fourth uncle's family.
