Chapter 100: Li Shimin's vigilance
Under the guidance of Wang Fangyi, Li Shimin and his entourage came to the Pingzhang Courtyard set up by Li Chengqian, which was the main courtyard of the original Youchunfang.
Li Shimin stood at the door, looked up at the three words of Pingzhangyuan written by Li Chengqian, admired it for a long time, and was about to step inside, when he saw an inner attendant holding a one-foot-square pineapple box coming out of it.
As soon as I saw Li Shimin and the others hurriedly saluting, standing aside and waiting for Li Shimin to pass, I saw that Li Shimin had been looking at the box in his hand and didn't know what to do.
The waiter next to Li Shimin saw that this little waiter had no eyesight, so he stepped forward and said, "What is in your box?"
Why don't you open it for Your Majesty yet! ”
When the little chamberlain heard this, he didn't open the box, but just replied: "Your Majesty, this box contains the notes prepared by the head of the military room, and it will be sent to the Chongjiao Palace." ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he said, "Open it quickly and show me how they draw up the ticket." ”
Hearing this, the little chamberlain said with a embarrassed face: "Your Majesty, the slave has no key. As he spoke, he turned the box around, and Li Shimin and the others saw that there was indeed a delicate small silver lock hanging on the box.
Li Shimin frowned and didn't speak, the attendant beside him stepped forward and asked, "Who is the key?"
"There are two keys on this box, one on the desk of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the other on the waist of General Su, who is in charge of the military room." The little chamberlain said truthfully.
Hearing this, the chamberlain hurriedly said, "Then why don't you go to General Su to open the box for Your Majesty!" ”
"Don't worry, go in with me." Li Shimin frowned and walked in first.
When I entered the main courtyard and turned around the shadow wall, I saw rows of tables in the courtyard, and next to each table were large wooden boxes, which were filled with documents, and behind the table sat an official in a nine-grade uniform who was bowing his head to deal with the documents.
Several of the Chongxian Pavilion attendants walked from table to table, as if instructing them in handling official documents.
Seeing Li Shimin and his party coming, he hurriedly ran to the front to salute.
"What official documents are to be handled in this courtyard?" Li Shimin asked with a displeased face.
The scholar in charge of this place hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, these account books of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in recent years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there have been too many accounts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in recent years, so the head of the private house Ren Ren presided over the reaccounting. ”
"Why don't you find a house to calculate the accounts?" Li Shimin asked while looking at the people in front of him.
Another scholar on duty heard the displeasure in Li Shimin's words and hurriedly replied: "Because there are many people recruited this time, the front hall is already full, and these accounts can be settled today, looking at the wind and sun today, everyone doesn't feel cold outside, so I didn't find another place." ”
Li Shimin waved his hand when he heard the words, and everyone hurriedly got up and returned to their seats to settle accounts.
Li Shimin saw a person less than four feet tall, with a withered face, improper facial features, and an official robe on his body as if he had stolen it.
Watch as the man shook his head and walked behind a desk to settle the accounts.
Li Shimin couldn't hold back any longer, pointed at the man and said, "What's going on?" Why are all kinds of people recruited into the palace?"
A bachelor on duty hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this person's name is Zhou Jinzhenguan, who has been admitted to the Ming Jingke for ten years, and has not been awarded an official because of his obscene appearance.
A few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned all the 423 people who had passed the imperial examination in recent years and had not been awarded officials in the Jiade Palace. ”
Li Shimin was still furious when he heard this: "The prince personally conferred the official?
Can't he see that this man is less than four feet tall?"
The scholar looked embarrassed but didn't dare to take it.
The Tang Dynasty paid attention to the four aspects of body, speech, calligraphy, and judgment, the first one, the body, is to be physically magnificent, this Zhou Jin is less than four feet tall, and there is no great merit, only one has been admitted to the Ming Jing subject, if it were not for Li Chengqian, he would not have been awarded an official in the life of the Marquis of Chang'an.
When Li Shimin saw this person, he thought that he had come in through the back door, and when he heard that it was an official personally appointed by Li Chengqian, he also thought that Li Chengqian's move had broken the rules.
"Spread my will......" Li Shimin was about to "correct his mistakes" for Li Chengqian.
"I don't know that Your Majesty is late to welcome your ministers, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." Xiao Yu hurriedly came out of it with the six-room case.
Li Shimin looked at Xiao Yu and snorted coldly, and continued without speaking: "Spread my will......"
Seeing that Li Shimin was determined to deal with Zhou Jin, Ma Zhou took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to go inside first to ask Mrs. Xiao about the situation, and then it's not too late to make a decision." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Shidao followed behind.
Li Shimin was interrupted twice and was very angry, but he still had to give some face in the face of Zai Fu Chongchen, so he just snorted coldly and strode into the front hall of Pingzhang Courtyard.
Xiao Yu and Liufang Zhangshu both looked at Yang Shidao and Ma Zhou in confusion, Ma Zhou smiled bitterly and shook his head to chase Li Shimin first.
When Ma Zhou walked through the front hall, he saw that Li Shimin had already walked to the main hall, and hurriedly quickened his pace to follow and walked into the main hall with Li Shimin.
As soon as Li Shimin entered the main hall, he sat on the right seat angrily, and Ma Zhou hurriedly waved upwards and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has more than 400 talents loyal to the East Palace in one fell swoop, why does Your Majesty care about that Zhou Jin?"
Li Shimin sighed and said: "He is naturally happy to have some talents, but he can't be so hungry, right?"
There are so many good materials in the world, what is that Zhou Jin?
As the saying goes, a grain of rat feces spoiled the porridge, and when Zhou Jin went out to be an official in the future, people saw that this was a talent selected by His Royal Highness the Prince, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of Chengqian?
either scolded him for having no eyes, or scolded me for having no one in the Tang Dynasty, and even dwarfs who were less than four feet tall were elected to be officials. ”
Li Shimin said that everyone else also walked into the main hall to salute Li Shimin, and Li Shimin didn't pay attention to them, but he just waved his hand to make him flat.
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly when he saw this: "Of course, Your Majesty's concerns are reasonable, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that Zhou Jin is a talent who has given him an official, then let him do something that does not have to show his face."
Why do you have to belittle him, if the matter is bigger than His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not look good. ”
Li Shimin listened to Ma Zhou's words and was silent for a long time before he nodded and said, "Now it seems that it can only be like this." ”
Seeing this, Ma Zhou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Shengming! ”
Li Shimin recovered, looked at Xiao Yu again and said, "Shiwen has worked hard these days, you are here to support Chengqian. ”
Li Shimin felt that he entrusted Li Chengqian to the eldest grandson Wuji, but the eldest grandson Wuji was sick, and Xiao Yu took the responsibility without saying a word, which made him quite moved and felt that these old ministers were reliable.
I don't want Xiao Yu to be full of complaints these days, and after listening to Li Shimin's words, he was not humble but said in a weird manner: "The minister is old and frail, what can he work hard?" National events have their own scholars! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the six-room case.
Su Dingfang, Zhu Suiliang and others were all embarrassed.
Li Shimin knew Xiao Yu best, and when he saw him like this, he knew that he was dissatisfied with Li Chengqian, so he asked: "Chengqian is young and ignorant, if Shi Wen has anything to say, just say it directly to me." ”
Originally, Li Chengqian invited Xiao Yu to guard the Pingzhang Academy, but he thought that he was very happy to have won half of the prime minister's real power, and he was even ready to compete with the eldest grandson Wuji in front of Li Shimin.
When the eldest grandson Wuji was angry and Xiao Yu was even happier, thinking that the entire prime minister was his.
But as the Pingzhang Courtyard operated according to Li Chengqian's design, Xiao Yu gradually realized that something was wrong.
The eldest grandson Wuji left the three rooms of the militia that was originally assigned to him, Li Zaiqian directly took over and did not let Xiao Yu act as an agent, and the three rooms assigned to Xiao Yu were assigned to the three rooms, and the three rooms had the power to directly vote for the case, and the so-called major matters were handed over to him, and the power to judge major matters was in the hands of the three rooms.
Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu both guessed Li Chengqian's thoughts, no matter whether it was important or not, as long as the votes they wrote could be passed by Li Chengqian.
Of course, I will also give him some things that are really difficult to handle.
Zhu Suiliang is square, and any major matters in the ceremonial room are discussed.
The most unbearable thing is that Li Chengqian originally designed the Pingzhang Yuan as a secretarial machine, and they did not have the right to directly approve the concert like the real prime minister, and the tickets they wrote were intended to be used by Li Chengqian if he wanted to use them, and he directly rejected them if he didn't want to, and he didn't even need to say why.
In the past few days, the backlog of political divisions in Shangshu Province has basically been dealt with, except for the private houses, there are not many things, and Xiao Yu has directly entered the state of pension, how can he be dissatisfied with his stomach?
Li Shimin listened to Xiao Yu's complaints, although he was very annoyed to listen to them, but he heard the key things from them, that is, Li Chengqian's power is really great.
This made him both envious and wary.
After listening to Xiao Yu's complaints, Li Shimin also looked at the ticket draft of the sixth room, and found that the level of these people in handling government affairs is very high, at least much stronger than the current Zhongshu people in Zhongshu Province.
Thinking about the hundreds of people who have not been awarded official positions for several years in Li Chengqian's new recruitment of the East Palace, these people can have no relationship with the court and are only loyal to Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin made two decisions, one was to get the eldest grandson Wuji back and keep an eye on this Pingzhang Academy, and the other was to crown Su Dingfang and others as scholars of the Chongjiao Palace.
In this way, the eldest grandson Wuji suppressed Li Chengqian, but also did not make Li Chengqian have no power to fight back.
When it comes to Yu Xiaoyu, he has no ability......
