After Luo Cheng accepted Feng Deyi in a few words, he went to see Li Baiyao again.

Li Baiyao is also an official eunuch, and his father was Li Delin, the famous minister of the early Sui Dynasty. In the early years, the Li family was a famous family of Shandong scholars, and Li Delin also served as a Chinese scholar in the Northern Qi Dynasty. When he grew up, he became a merry man.

The family has learned, is knowledgeable, and is very romantic.

Once a guest in Yang Su's mansion, he hooked up with one of Yang Su's concubines and eloped with him, but fortunately, Yang Su was generous and chased people after knowing it, but he gave the concubine to him, which also made a good conversation.

Li Baiyao has successively served as a central official such as the prince and the sheren, and has also served as a county and a taishou at the local level.

Now he is also in his fifties, and he was imprisoned for a long time for being involved in the anti-Luo case, Luo Cheng came over, and when they met, he was not as flattering as Feng Lun, but he was also a little like walking on thin ice.

Luo Cheng didn't have much politeness with him.

"Would you like to come out and do things?"

Li Baiyao didn't squirm, "Yes." ”

"Very good, you have all your talents, don't waste them. I will give you the title of a servant, and work under the Yellow Gate Servant Hou Mo Chenyi. ”

To Shilang, originally to give the matter, Sui avoided Yang Zhong and changed it to Shilang, and he was on the official position of Wupin. This is an important position in Menxia Province, and the status in Menxia Province is equivalent to that of the Inner History Province of the Inner History Province.

The head of the province is in charge of the refutation and deliberation, so there are four people for the Shilang, who are responsible for the daily affairs of the province, and are specifically responsible for reviewing the refutation of the edict and the edict.

It can be said that the two provinces of Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province are the real decision-making organs of the Great Sui, especially from the opening of the emperor to the great cause, the power of the center is constantly being transferred from Shangshu Province to Zhongshu and Menxia Province.

And the two provinces of Menxia and Zhongshu have been vacant for a long time, so the squires of the two provinces are actually presiding over the two provinces, and the six inner historians and four shilangs of the two provinces are actually acting as the errands of the deputy officials of the two provinces in the past.

Now, Luo Cheng is also a high-ranking official in the three provinces, so he takes Du Ruhui, the left servant of Shangshu Province, Hou Mo Chen Yi as the Huangmen Shilang of the Menxia Province, and Fang Xuanling as the Neishi Shilang of the Inner History Province, respectively, to preside over the daily affairs of the three provinces.

The specific affairs of the three provinces still have to rely on the internal history of the people, to the Shilang, to the left and right, and the six Shangshu Shilang.

As for the high-ranking officials of the third and fourth grades, such as the free cavalry and the counselor, their power is not heavy.

Now Luo Cheng has no shortage of fierce generals, nor does he lack elite soldiers.

However, there is a shortage of experienced central officials.

For Li Baiyao and Feng Deyi, Luo Cheng is still different. For Feng Deyi, although Luo Cheng recognized his talent, he only gave him an idle job to suppress his temperament. But for Li Baiyao, he was directly given an important position to Shilang.

Li Baiyao did not shirk and responded directly.

Luo Cheng asked him some things about the government, and Li Baiyao's reply made him very satisfied.

Li Baiyao's father was also the Zhongshu Shilang of the Qi State back then, and later he did not enter the Sui Dynasty and became the prime minister of the Inner History Order. And Li Baiyao was the prince of the crown prince Yang Yong at the beginning, and later Yang Guang wanted to dig him to go to the Jin Palace, but Li Baiyao refused to go because of illness. But after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne as emperor, Li Baiyao was the same and became an official again.

It was Qu Tutong, and Luo Cheng went to visit in person.

But he refused to pay attention, he couldn't stop Luo Cheng from entering his courtyard, so he adopted a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, reading books and drinking tea by himself, just ignoring Luo Cheng.

For Luo Cheng's kindness, he didn't accept it.

Luo Cheng said that he was given the post of Taifu Temple's Taifu Qing, responsible for the Ma Zheng of the imperial court, but Qu Tutong did not accept it at all.

This veteran from the Kumoxi clan is very difficult.

"Old general, there is good news for you, Brother Ling is rushing to Liaodong with the old general, your wife, concubines, and children."

Qu Tutong's younger brother is named Qu Tugai, who once served as the commander of Chang'an, as the county commander of the capital, this is a difficult position to do, after all, in the capital, the powerful go everywhere, and there are as many people as dogs, and if you are not careful, you will provoke which powerful minister.

But when Qu Tutong was in charge of Chang'an's order, he was honest and stern in the name of being square and serious, not afraid of the powerful, nor favoritism, and the powerful and evil people were afraid of it.

That sentence would rather eat three buckets of Ai, and not see Qu Tugai.

Rather eat three buckets of green onions, if it is not Qu Tutong, it is from that time that it began to spread.

Later, Qu Tugai served as a taishou and other positions in many places, and now he is also in his sixties, and he has been recuperating at home.

But Luo Cheng asked Zhang Liang to find a way to invite Qu Tugai out, and also sent his whole family to Liaodong.

"The imperial court has officially appointed Qu Tugai as the young governor of Tokyo, and he will take office when he arrives soon."

Qu Tutong turned his head to look at Luo Cheng, "Is it granted by the imperial court, or is it granted by you?" ”

"The decree issued by the imperial court was passed by the three provinces, of course, and it is also what I meant."

Qu Tu turned his head angrily.

Luo Cheng smiled, "I also awarded the eldest son of the old general Shou as the crown prince Qianniu, and the old general's young son as a personal guard." ”

Qu Tutong faced Luo Cheng's approach, and he had to sigh helplessly.

"Old general, the times are like this, and you have not lived up to the great cause, but why do you have to go against the trend now."

Qu Tutong sighed and said, "I failed to fulfill the loyalty of the ministers, and I am ashamed of the court and the country." ”

"You are a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty, but now that the times have changed, please ask the old general to adapt to the times. You have done your best for the great cause of the Son of Heaven, now is the time to contribute to the people of the world, the world will be unified as soon as possible, and the turmoil and chaos will end as soon as possible, you don't want the world to collapse like the end of the Jin Dynasty, and the world will be restless for three hundred years, right? ”

Qu Tutong was silent.

"If the old general dislikes the position of Tai Servant is too low, I can propose to give him another position."

"Let's go."

"Do your part for the people of the world."

Qu Tutong finally accepted the fact that the Great Sui was going to perish, and also accepted Luo Cheng's appointment.

He became a servant, and Luo Cheng also specially named him the Duke of Jiang.

"It's just a pity for Junsu."

Qu Tutong let out a long sigh.

In the second year of Zhide, spring.

Du Yan, Du Chuke, Wei Ting, Wang Qi, Qu Tugai, Li Keshi and many other officials and scholars came to Liaodong to Fengzhengshuo to vote for the Son of Heaven.

For these people, Luo Cheng was very polite.

Meet them one by one in person, and then confer them as if they were going to be officials.

He awarded Du Yan Yu Shi Zhongcheng, awarded Wang Qi Shangshu Zuocheng, and awarded Wei Ting's military department squire.

Awarded Du Chuke New City Taishou, awarded Qu Tugai Tokyo Prefecture Shaoyin, and awarded Li Keshi Lushun County Cheng.

Zhang Xutuo was worshiped by Luo Cheng as the right servant of the school and the secretary of the military department.

For a time, the Liaodong Imperial Court was becoming more and more prosperous.

Soon, Luo Cheng asked the concubine Cui to invite the Cui clan from Zhengzhou to come, and then contacted the Cui clan in Xingyang and others, and a large number of former Sui Dynasty officials, nobles and local scholars came to vote, which greatly alleviated the shortage of Wu Sheng in the imperial court.
