Chapter 295: On Meritorious Deeds
Since ascending the throne, Li Chengqian has been thinking about how to arrange the people in his East Palace, in addition to the subordinate officials of the East Palace arranged for him by the first emperor, how his own henchmen should be arranged, he already has a plan in his heart. Flash Dance
However, before that, according to the last order of the first emperor, Li Ji must be recalled to Chang'an and given him a high-ranking official, so as to win Li Ji's heart.
But Li Ji can't be allowed to take the position of Shangshu's left servant all at once, lest he take himself too seriously and be difficult to check and balance in the future.
"I decided to recall Li Ji, the governor of Diezhou, and appointed him as a special jin, a school inspector of Luozhou, and a guard of Luoyang Palace, and immediately sent an edict to Li Ji, ordering him to take up his post." Li Chengqian called the prime ministers of the three provinces to speak.
"Obey the order!" Without their cooperation, it would be difficult for the edicts to be issued, and the responsibilities of the three provinces were to draft edicts, review edicts, and enforce government decrees.
Therefore, the three provinces cooperate with each other and contain each other, and at the same time, the three provinces also restrict the emperor's rights, so as not to make trouble as the emperor wants.
"Situ, the governor of Yangzhou, and Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao State, assisted the first emperor with all his efforts, and now he is working tirelessly and faithfully to assist me."
"I deeply feel his merit, and I hereby appoint him as a lieutenant, concurrently inspecting the school's middle school order, and in charge of the affairs of Shangshu and the two provinces."
The edict was drafted by the Zhongshu Province and issued an edict. Flashing dance" Li Chengqian said.
"Obey the order!" The people of the middle school saluted and received the order.
"Your Majesty! The minister's virtue is thin and talented, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this important responsibility, the minister asks for resignation from the province of Shangshu, and asks Your Majesty for permission!" The eldest grandson Wuji bowed and knelt down.
The reason why Li Chengqian wanted the eldest grandson Wuji to be in charge of the two provinces of Shangshu was just to test the eldest grandson Wuji and understand the advance and retreat.
If the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and accepts it directly, then he can't keep the eldest grandson Wuji, and he must find an opportunity to deal with him.
Fortunately, the eldest grandson Wuji knew how to advance and retreat, and did not gladly accept Li Chengqian's appointment, taking all this for granted, but tried his best to resign.
The attitude is even more intense, and there is a posture that if you don't agree to him, you can't kneel for a long time.
It is no wonder that the first emperor would evaluate him as unscrupulous, good at avoiding suspicion, dealing with agility and speed, and seeking the ancients, which should also be incomparable; And the total army is attacking, not the director.
"Uncle, what do you mean by that? Could it be that I dislike my appointment? I don't want to worry about me! Li Chengqian was very satisfied with the eldest grandson Wuji's knowledge of advance and retreat, but he said with displeasure on his face.
"Your Majesty's love, the ministers are grateful, even if they are broken bones, it is difficult to report Your Majesty's kindness, it is really that the ministers really can't accept Your Majesty's appointment, and ask Your Majesty to resign from the high-ranking official Sun Wujidao.
Li Chengqian's face was embarrassed, but his eyes were secretly observing the expression of the eldest grandson Wuji.
After repeated requests from the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian finally had no choice but to say, "Since my uncle insists on resigning, I will approve your invitation!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him!
"Then the Zhongshu people redrafted the edict, and I wanted to appoint Situ, the governor of Yangzhou, and Sun Wuji, the governor of Zhao State, as the three products of the Taiwei Tongzhongshu Sect." Li Chengqian said.
That's what he'd love to see.
"Obey the order!" The book is the leader of the people.
"I have decided to appoint Wang Fangyi as the general of the left guard in the left palace and Cheng Wuting as the general of the right guard in the right palace."
"Dali Temple Cheng Di Renjie is the secretary of Dali Temple and the secretary of the Chinese book, the prince's left concubine, Gaoyang County male Xu Jingzong is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the right leader of the army is the general of the right army...... Let's draw up an edict together! Li Chengqian gave a series of rewards to the subordinate officials of the East Palace.
"Obey the order!" The people of the middle book led the way.
This time, Li Chengqian not only arranged his own henchmen in the three provinces, but most of the Shangshu of the six departments were subordinate officials of his East Palace.
It is really a son of heaven and a courtier, and the new monarch will naturally appoint his own people when he succeeds to the throne, as for some old ministers, except for those who are old and resign and go into hiding.
That is, some officials whose terms of office have expired are transferred from their original posts and made new personnel appointments, while the rest remain unchanged.
These subordinate officials who originally belonged to the East Palace have no doubt in terms of ability, and it is also reasonable for them to hold official positions in the three provinces and six ministries.
Others can't find any thorns, so naturally there is no obstacle.
However, the key is that the Captain of the Horse, the AMTD Fengyu Duhe, and the Yangzhou Thorn Shi Zhao Jie are a bit difficult to do!
Although they are the henchmen of the new emperor, they have no merits in the past, and if they want to arrange high positions for them at once, someone has something to say.
For example, veterans such as Chu Suiliang and Gao Jifu have a lot to say.
"Your Majesty, among these people, it is understandable to give him such a position in terms of ability and merit, but it is just that Shangcheng Fengyu, Xiangyang County Gong Duhe, Yangzhou Assassin Zhao Jie."
"These two people don't have the merit of size, if they are given a high-ranking official position at once, I am afraid that it will attract criticism from the government and the opposition." Chu Sui is good.
"Yes, Your Majesty! It is not because these two people are close to His Majesty, His Majesty will be nepotistic, when the first emperor was alive, but only talent can create the rule of Zhenguan. Gao Jifu said.
Du He is the emperor's brother-in-law and Zhao Jie is the emperor's cousin, and using this as an excuse to say that the emperor is nepotistic is also in the past.
As long as these two people don't have much of a bright spot, the most important thing is Zhao Jie, and Du He doesn't have much of a problem.
"What does my uncle think? What is wrong with me appointing Du He and Zhao Jie? Li Chengqian looked at the eldest grandson Wuji on the side and asked.
"Although Zhao Jie is the assassin of Yangzhou, he has been staying in the Changguang Princess Mansion and has never left his parents.
"According to the old minister's opinion, it is better for Your Majesty to let Zhao Jie go to other places to serve, so that he can have some experience, and after he has made some achievements, he will be recalled to Chang'an, which is well deserved." The eldest grandson Wuji said.
Li Chengqian nodded, feeling that what he said made sense, Zhao Jie really only had the name of the assassin, but he had never done what the assassin should do, and he had never been in office.
In addition to being relegated to other places to do county orders, but even so, Zhao Jie was recalled to Chang'an by the first emperor halfway because of Princess Changguang's intercession.
In general, Zhao Jie has no experience in politics, and it is not a good way to be an official, as long as Zhao Jie makes some political achievements, I am afraid that he will not be recalled.
"According to what my uncle said, let Zhao Jie go to other places as an official, and still appoint him as the assassin of Yangzhou, and let him govern Yangzhou." Li Chengqian said.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhang Xingcheng said, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that the emperor would insist on going his own way.
"What about Duhe? The secretary thinks that Du He is not capable of serving as the provincial palace supervisor in the palace? Li Chengqian asked.
