Pei Min is talking about persuasion, but Li Longji understands the meaning of "persuasion"!

If Yao Chong really listened to persuasion, Li Longji would not be so dissatisfied with Yao Chong now!

This persuasion is no different from a resignation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Pei Min's real meaning is "to govern the officials, to dismiss Yao Xiang".

It's just that Yao Chong's status is too high, and he also has a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and it is really appalling to remove Yao Chong.

Pei Min said tactfully, and Li Longji also knew the reason.

After all, Yao Chong's identity is by no means ordinary.

Pei Min said this not without reason, Yao Chong's character is well known.

In the years that he has been the prime minister, none of the prime ministers above the court today have real talent and real learning, Zhang Shuo, Wei Zhigu, and Liu Youqiu, who have real talent and real learning, have all belittled him, and Guo Yuanzhen has also been vacated.

The current prime ministers are either Lu Huaishen who plays soy sauce, or Yuan Qianyao, who is holding Yao Chong's thigh and obeying his orders.

The prime minister is the number two person of a dynasty and the banner of the hundred officials, and the conduct and actions of the prime minister often affect the conduct of the hundred officials.

Yao Chong turned the court into a hall of words, and if the Manchu civil and military wanted to be promoted, they naturally had to follow Yao Chong's footsteps.

And Yao Chonghu was extremely short, and another incident happened before this.

Zhao Xu, the main secretary of Zhongshu, is a close confidant of Yao Chong, Zhao Zhi is greedy for money by nature, did the same thing as Yang Ju in the past, and accepted bribes from Hu people. After the matter was revealed, Li Longji was furious and condemned it to death, but Yao Chong, because he was his confidant, mobilized his strength in the court and tried his best to rescue him.

Li Longji was unhappy in his heart, but he obeyed Yao Chong's intention and spared Zhao Yu of the death penalty.

It can be seen from this incident that Yao Chong has opened a precedent for officials to protect each other, as long as it is his person, even if it is a big crime such as accepting bribes from Hu people, he can be exempted from the death penalty.

It can be seen that as long as Yao Chong's party follows Yao Chong, even if there is a mistake, he can be exonerated.

The entire temple is protected by officials and officials, and if you want to govern the officials and not remove Yao Chong, it is a fool's dream.

But here's the problem, Yao Chong is not a powerful minister, and he is also very capable, he has made great contributions to the country, and the development of Datang has so far, his talent in governing the world can be described as a great contribution.

Such a character, Pei Min also loves and hates in his heart.

"And then!" Li Longji looked at Pei Min, and his heart was equally complicated: he did not deny Yao Chong's contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and the merits of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, he, the emperor, saw it in his eyes.

After he really took power, he changed his name to Kaiyuan, and it has been four years now!

The greatest merit of Wenzhi is Yao Chong, and the greatest merit of martial arts is Pei Min!

Without Yao Chong, there would be no current governance, and without Pei Min, the frontier would not be so stable.

Attacking such a meritorious hero, Li Longji was worried that the hundred officials would feel like they were unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

But Yao Chong didn't stop, and the magistrates couldn't carry out, and the situation was even worse.

Facing Li Longji's question, Pei Min paused and said: "Your Majesty is on par with Emperor Taizong, can you know why Taizong Zhenguan was able to ensure the rapid economic development of the world and the officials were diligent and honest in the case of long-term foreign wars?" ”

He paused and said with a smile: "Emperor Taizong takes the medicine master as the prime minister to ensure the country's military victory; Take Xuan Ling Gong as the phase to determine the national strategy; Take Xuan Chenggong as the prime minister to ensure the integrity of officials. It can be seen that in order for the country to be truly strong, it is far from enough to rely on one person. Yao Xiangzhi's talent is comparable to Xuan Ling Gong in the Taizong period, but he cannot replace Xuan Cheng Gong. The minister thought that His Majesty needed to promote a prime minister who was as upright as Xuan Chenggong and dared to admonish directly. ”

The pharmacist duke, Xuan Ling gong, and Xuan Cheng gong in Pei Min's mouth naturally refer to the three most outstanding talents under Li Shimin's command, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng.

Pei Min said this, and Li Longji went to his heart.

A country needs all kinds of talents, Yao Chong is indeed outstanding, but he can't do what Li Jing and Wei Zheng do, but he rejects the appearance of Li Jing and Wei Zheng.

"Do you have the right person?" Li Longji asked again.

Pei Min looked at the emperor in front of him blankly, and said, "This minister really doesn't know, just because of the minister's ability, he will come up with a few bad ideas." In terms of employing people, it is comparable to Your Majesty. ”

It's better to pretend to be stupid when you should be stupid!

Li Longji didn't doubt him, and asked, "Then what do you think of Song Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department?" ”

Pei Min said in his heart: "Sure enough! ”

Li Longji had already intended to dismiss Yao Chong, but Yao Chong's credit was too high, and he couldn't pay attention to it.

To put it mildly, even Yao Chong's successor, Li Longji, has already been found.

Pei Min praised: "Song Shangshu is selfless in punishment and reward, and he dares to commit Yan Zhizhi, but he has the potential of Xuan Chenggong. With him as the appearance, he will definitely be able to make the rulers prosperous and change the current atmosphere. ”

In fact, Li Longji did the same in history, he took Yao Chong as the prime minister, formulated the development policy, and took Song Jing as the prime minister to rectify the civil and military officials. In the Kaiyuan period, the politics were clear and the officials were honest, which laid the foundation for the Kaiyuan era in one fell swoop.

Li Longji sighed: "It's just that Yao Xiang's character is understood, and he can't tolerate Song Shangshu!" ”

Pei Min looked at Li Longji and was a little speechless in his heart, Li Longji's behavior was clearly that he wanted to be a bitch and wanted to hang the archway of chastity.

In terms of courage, Li Longji is indeed much inferior to Li Shimin.

After thinking about it again and again, Pei Min's heart suddenly moved, and he said happily: "Your Majesty, the minister actually has some opinions on the temple he wants to be in, and the minister has always thought that opening up the way is the best system. Therefore, one person is short and three people are long, and they can order the counselors to participate in the governor's affairs, and restore the counselors and historians to participate in the prime minister's meeting. ”

Li Longji was enlightened, and a smile appeared on his face.

Allowing officials and historians to participate in the discussion of major state affairs was a system in the Li Shimin period, that is, it was necessary to promote truly talented people, let them participate in major state affairs in advance, cultivate their abilities, and achieve the purpose of supervising the administration of the government. It's just that after Wu Zetian took power, he promoted Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu and others to be prime ministers, and they didn't dare to make many things public, so this system was abolished.

It has not been restored for a long time, and when Li Longji is in power and Yao Chong is the prime minister, it is even more impossible to restore this system. Because involving the counselors and historians is tantamount to invisibly dividing his power and giving the counselors the power to discuss politics. This kind of thing, Yao Chong will not smash his heels.

As long as this system is restored, once Yao Chong's power is divided, with Yao Chong's wisdom, will he not be able to detect the problem?

If Yao Chong is interested, he will be the same as Song Jing, and if he is not interested, there is a reason to dismiss him.

Thinking that he didn't have to bear the "crime" of "unloading the mill and killing the donkey", Li Longji felt happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Jingyuan is really my heart, and many things can be solved here." If Yaozhou didn't live without you, I really wanted to transfer him back to Chang'an. ”

Pei Min hurriedly said: "It is an honor for the minister to serve His Majesty. ”

He said this, but in his heart he couldn't help but feel sorry for Yao Chong, he knew that with Yao Chong's character, his phase would definitely not be able to be saved.
