Chapter 357: Actually accompanied the prince to supervise the country

Li Su's transfer was regarded as a farce. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Shimin didn't bother to reply. This matter itself is a bit out of line, although the courtiers have criticized Luo Yan, but how could Li Shimin not know that this matter has nothing to do with Luo Yan at all.

Just when the courtiers were still a little noisy, Li Shimin's sudden edict surprised everyone.

At the beginning of July, Li Shimin was going to inspect Chuzhou.

Although the decree is brief, do not underestimate its meaning. Since Zhenguan, Li Shimin has not been out of Chang'an until now. The sudden inspection is not grand or not, but Li Shimin must attach great importance to it.

Not to mention that the DPRK and Chinese officials were shocked by this, it was Li Shimin's chief officials who went to the prefectures and counties along the road to Chuzhou, and they were a little uneasy.

After careful planning by various ministries, it was finally selected to go down the road from Hanshui. Along the way, we have to go through more than a dozen large states and dozens of counties. It would certainly be unreasonable to say that Li Shimin did not inspect people's livelihood politics along the road.

And there is also a flattery arranged along the way, which has to be heartbroken by local officials.

However, these are not the main concerns of everyone.

Because after all, the emperor has precedents to follow, even if he doesn't know anything, he will gain something from flipping through the previous county records and the like. But there is another matter, but it is related to the direction of the court's forces in the future, which cannot but arouse everyone's attention.

After Li Shimin left Chang'an, who was in charge of the country and who was the auxiliary government?

The first question is naturally easy to answer, the emperor is gone, and the crown prince is in charge of the country, which is an iron law for thousands of years.

But the second question is quite difficult to say.

Which people are left to assist the government, it means that these people are Li Shimin's absolute henchmen. In the future, in the court, it will definitely be extremely powerful. If nothing else, these people will definitely be able to become extremely powerful ministers within ten years.

Therefore, the number of auxiliary ministers can be described as highly anticipated.

In the Taiji Palace, when Li Shimin finished reading the holy decree of the crown prince and the country, many ministers invariably looked at another holy decree in the hands of the inner servants. Not surprisingly, this is the list of Auxiliary Ministers.

The list of the officials accompanying the driver has basically been determined. Such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng, Li Shimin naturally would not let them stay. Among the generals, Li Shimin also brought quite trusted, such as Hou Junji, Su Dingfang, and Cheng Zhijie.

Du Ruhui, who has always been a golden partner with Fang Xuanling, because of physical reasons, Li Shimin was not worried about his tiring journey, so he stayed in Chang'an. Naturally, the position of this auxiliary minister is absolutely indispensable to this one.

Sure enough, the attendant opened the holy decree and the first name he pronounced was Du Ruhui.

As for the second place, Wen Yanbo, who is the secretary of the school, is naturally the one who will do it.

This is no surprise to everyone. After all, Wen Yanbo's ability is there, and he has assisted Fang Xuanling to take care of the entire Zhongshu Province quite well over the years, although it is a school inspection, but everyone has removed those two words.

As for the third place. Although everyone was a little surprised, it was within the scope of acceptance.

Li Jing, a veteran who has been at home for two or three years, was actually invited out by Li Shimin. Although he did not have a real job, Li Shimin was willing to make great efforts for the sake of stabilizing the situation. With the Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhang, every two or three days to the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of the Council can be, as for the dynasty or something, there is no need at all.

This official position is the first time in Datang. In the past, there were few, or at all, no one who could hold two positions in Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, and their status was still equal to the two official positions of Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong.

Now there is.

For Li Shimin's handwriting, in addition to admiration, the officials have nothing to say at all.

With Li Jing, the big Buddha, basically the entire military of the Tang Dynasty is stable, and Li Shimin doesn't have to worry about what will happen to the local army after he goes out.

According to the rule, there are only four auxiliary ministers, and now there are still three positions determined, and the next one, hundreds of officials have speculated who will be used. Is it to pick one of the six, or to find one from the clan?

In the six ministries, there are not a few old and serious ministers like Tang Jian. If it can be used, it will certainly make the situation more stable. And choosing one of the clans can also consolidate the position of the prince and prevent him from being deceived, and a clan like Li Xiaogong who can be civil and martial arts must be the first choice.

Or, simply find one of the prince's subordinates? Yu Zhining and these people have followed Li Shimin since the time when he was the prince, and there is no problem with loyalty, not to mention ability.

In the midst of such speculation, the chamberlain slowly opened his mouth and told all the ministers in that unique and sharp voice: "Luo Yan. ”

What the? Luo Yan?

For this name, Baiguan just wants to ask one sentence: I heard it right, right?

There are so many officials who are not appointed, and a person who specializes in causing trouble, is notorious, debauched, and does not do his job...... Anyway, if you can refute it kindly, you can use Luo Yan, who is not enough?

"Your Majesty." Suddenly, a scholar from the middle school stood up. He had worked with Luo Yan for a period of time before, and he didn't see that Luo Yan was so capable of assisting the prince in prison. Therefore, he still wanted Li Shimin to think about it again.

Who knew that before he could say anything, he was gagged by Li Shimin: "What, do you have an opinion on my arrangement?" ”

"This ......" The scholar thought about it again and again, but decided to express the doubts in his heart. Assistant Teacher Luo is now just a Guozixue teaching assistant, not to mention whether he can do his job well, but he is suddenly promoted, I am afraid that it will not be convincing. ”

Li Shimin made an expression that he knew you were going to say this, and laughed at the courtiers for a while, and then said: "I know that you are all dissatisfied in your hearts. However, there is a reason for such an appointment. This matter was decided. You can be unconvinced, but after I leave, if the decree issued by Luo Yan cannot be strictly enforced, after I come back, I will wait for you to clean you up one by one. ”

Li Shimin put down the cruel words, but he didn't even explain half a sentence.

Even if the officials are not convinced, but the matter has come to this point, what else can they do? I had to press down the dissatisfaction in my heart, and wait to see what kind of moth I could make after Luo Yan's auxiliary government.

Anyway, if Luo Yan, the auxiliary minister, does not do well, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to rise to the top in the future, but he will have a stumbling career and will die for the rest of his life.

When the court meeting ended, unlike the ministers who were talking a lot, after Li Shimin walked into the side hall, he instructed the attendants: "Call Luo Yan to me, I have something to order." ”

The determination of the number of auxiliary ministers has stirred up a lot of wind and rain in Chang'an City at this time.

There is a seventh-grade teacher mixed between the three third-grade adults, how strange is this matter. Although everyone didn't know what kind of medicine Li Shimin was selling in his gourd, someone who was interested saw Luo Yan hurriedly entering the palace and a wry smile on his face after coming out, he knew that there was absolutely no possibility of changing this matter.

The ministers are all discussing how Luo Yan can be so valued by Li Shimin. But the people are full of expectations for such things, or rather, their desire to see the excitement is becoming more and more serious.

The legends of Luo Yan that have been circulated among the people are mainly based on slapping all kinds of powerful people in the face. This time, Luo Yan was in power, and he didn't know who would offend him.

In the blink of an eye, Chang'an City ushered in the twilight after boiling.

The officials are going home, and things are getting more and more lively. But at this time, the Taiji Palace was silent.

In a large hall, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, father and son, sat opposite each other.

"Father, I don't know why you summoned your sons and daughters to come?" After being stared at by Li Shimin for a long time, Li Chengqian finally couldn't help it, so he opened his mouth and asked.

Looking at Li Chengqian, who was becoming more and more handsome and mature, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction: "Today I decreed that you should be in charge of the country, what do you have to say to me?" ”

Regarding Li Shimin's question, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that his father would ask back. But it doesn't matter anymore, what you have in your heart, just say anything: "When my father goes out, I must pay attention to safety." The queen mother has her own children to take care of, and the father does not have to worry. As soon as the younger brothers and sisters are killed, the sons will also be able to control them. ”

Hearing that Li Chengqian did not say anything about major national affairs, but instead told all about himself, Li Shimin felt even more relieved.

"Okay, with your words, my father will be relieved. It's just that I have called you here today, and I still have some things to explain to you. Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian very seriously and motioned for him to remember the next words word for word.

Li Chengqian saw that his father was unprecedentedly serious, and he knew that he must not be sloppy, so he nodded solemnly, and then said to Li Shimin: "If my father has any orders, my sons and daughters must keep them in mind and will not forget them at all." ”

"Although I have set up four auxiliary ministers in the DPRK, Du Xiang has to manage the entire Shangshu Province, and Wen Yanbo, as the inspector of the Zhongshu Order, will naturally act in charge of all the affairs of the Zhongshu Province. And Li Jing will depose the affairs of the province. ”

Li Chengqian nodded, naturally he had no opinion on Li Shimin's arrangement.

"Only Luo Yan." Speaking of this, Li Shimin paused, glanced at Li Chengqian meaningfully, and then said: "Luo Yan's job is to let him come out and make a ruling when Wen Yanbo and Li Jing have a dispute, and Du Xiang can't make up his mind." ”

Li Chengqian was stunned, it's that simple?

Co-author Luo Yan is a peacemaker?

"Father, such a thing, just look for the old man in the court, why do you need to come to Chengguogong." Li Chengqian was completely confused by Li Shimin. It's strange to think about it, two old men in their fifties and sixties have different opinions, and they actually want a young man in his twenties to adjudicate?

When did the world become so crazy?

But looking at Li Shimin nodding, Li Chengqian knew that this matter was really ironclad. (To be continued.) )
