Chapter 240: Los Angeles Mutation
Luo Chen's ability is not outstanding, the reason why Li Yuanji will never forget it is because there are not many people available in his hands now, and Luo Chen, as an early follower of himself, is naturally one level higher than others at the starting line.
It's just that Luo Chen, a fool, doesn't know where he went, it's been a few days, and he hasn't even heard from him.
In fact, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there has been a relative shortage of officials in the appointment of officials, otherwise, after the first scientific examination held by Li Shimin, he would not have said that all the talents in the world are used by me.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable.
The knowledge of this era is all monopolized in the hands of the gate valve family, so that it is difficult for grassroots officials to take a step further after they reach a certain post.
His personal knowledge reserve is not enough to support him to achieve a higher position, and if he is directly promoted, it will harm him and the country.
This also leads to a very embarrassing situation, the knowledge may not be the most suitable, the most suitable may not have the opportunity, the long-term knowledge monopoly, resulting in the situation that the sergeant has no poor family, and the lower grade has no family, and it has also led to the family gate valve getting stronger and stronger, and the lower level of the poor family is getting weaker and weaker.
This is not without its benefits, but the disadvantages clearly outweigh the benefits.
And it is not conducive to the long-term balance, to put it mildly, at the beginning of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, why did he look at the face of the family? To make a deal with the Maison?
Isn't it because in this world, there is no force that can compete with the family? Without the family, even if you are the emperor, you really can't play this country.
Luo Chen's incident is also a microcosm of the whole society, and it is also a manifestation of his current situation.
There is still a long way to go if you want to be a real idle emperor.
Li Yuanji couldn't help but scold Li Shimin angrily in his heart: "It's okay, it's okay, always staring at Lonely? Are you satisfied with the results now? If you burp yourself, don't say anything, and even if you want to be lazy, you will find time, and you will do something harmful to others and yourself. ’
"Your Highness, Luozhou Urgent!" Li Yuanji was about to return to the palace, and think about how to transform it next, the idle emperor is not so easy to be, if he doesn't do a good job of paving, he will be an idler directly, and sooner or later he will play himself to death, the secret guard doesn't know when he appeared behind him, and there is a white paper half the size of a palm hidden in his hand.
Taking the letter, Li Yuanji opened it and glanced at it.
Luozhou is the accompanying capital, and both geographical location and political significance are more important, so Li Shimin will send a loyal old minister Qu Tutong to guard it.
One is to prevent himself and Li Jiancheng from doing something in Luozhou, and the other is to completely control the Central Plains, suppress his living space, and at the same time pave the way for his ascension to the throne.
Glancing at the above content, Li Yuanji was stunned, and then thought about the current time, this is already the second year of Zhenguan, why did Qu Tutong die in the first year of Zhenguan? Is it the wings of a butterfly again? Qu Tutong has persevered until now?
"Go back to the palace!" Li Yuanji's face changed, Qu Tutong didn't die until now I don't know if it was the effect of the butterfly's wings, but I knew that this matter was very troublesome.
Qu Tutong didn't die sooner or later, but he died at this time, and it was okay to die at this time, he even forgot about this stubble, and he didn't even think about his personal choice in advance.
The importance of Luozhou is not much lower than that of Chang'an, and the candidate for the governor of Luozhou is even more important, although he has no competitors now, and some problems do not need to be considered, but Li Shimin has been in business for a year and a half, and the people he sent will easily subdue them? Could there be any ill-intentioned guys in this? Who to choose? It's all a science.
Although I can do it in style, I really don't have much choice left for myself now.
Li Yuanji's mind was very messy, and on the way back to the palace, his mind was constantly thinking about the right candidate.
You can choose to choose and choose, either Li Shimin's old department, he has not yet completely domesticated, or he is an unusable person.
During this period, the distinction between civil ministers and military ministers was not particularly clear, the Tang people were still martial, so that the number one leader in many places was held by military attachés, which was reasonable in the border areas, but it was not suitable in the interior, and there was also some suspicion of wasting too much talent.
After choosing and choosing, Li Yuanji only chose two theoretically most unlikely candidates.
It stands to reason that these two people should be the people they hate the most, even if they have a friendship with one of them, in the face of great rights and wrongs, their loyalty is not in doubt.
But no one is available, and he can only show his broad-mindedness and the righteousness of the past.
"It is rumored that Li Jing and Li Tao will enter the palace immediately!" When he looked up, he had already entered the palace gate, and hurriedly instructed Song Zhong, who was beside him, who did not know why.
The people chosen by Li Yuanji are Li Jing and Li Tao, and to put it more bluntly, Li Yuanji is more inclined to Li Tao.
Li Jing had just suffered a defeat, and now he was doubting his life, and before he himself knew it repeatedly, it was not suitable to go to the local area to serve as a prince.
And Li Tao is currently holding the position of governor of the state, and this time he was also attracted south by the Qi army, but the war was over before the war was fought, and he was summoned to Chang'an by Li Yuan's edict, and he didn't have to worry too much about the candidates, but who to use was really a headache.
However, in comparison, Li Yuanji can trust the two of them the most at the moment.
The Xuanwumen incident made the two of them very uprightly, but it also made their position very embarrassing, but they knew very well that these two people were people, at least in the current situation, it was not very likely that they would fall off the chain at a critical moment.
After thinking about it, Li Yuanji turned around and went to the harem again.
The shelf of his own saint is put out, and he can't drop the chain at this critical moment, at least in terms of etiquette, he can't leave anyone with any handle.
In the depths of the harem, Li Yuan was watching the sketch with relish.
As the emperor, Li Yuanji took the Taiping Grand Theater into his own possession, which is equivalent to Li Yuan's private property, and Li Yuan, who had been wronged for a year and a half, did not intend to let himself continue to be wronged, and directly ordered the actors of the theater to be called into the palace to perform a sketch for the concubines of the harem and those young princes.
"Yuanji is here? Come! Come! Come and sit down next to my father! I don't know how many times I've watched the sketch, although the fun is still there, but Li Yuan can't concentrate on watching it, and he received the news that Li Yuanji is coming this way early in the morning, and Li Yuan has already moved a position beside him, waiting for Li Yuanji with all his heart.
"Father, well!" politely greeted Li Yuan and sat down.
"I've already let people see it, on the fifth day of the next month, Daji, it's suitable for enthronement, and I've ordered people to prepare to go." As soon as Li Yuanji sat down, Li Yuan said a little impatiently, with the posture that Lao Tzu didn't want to be the emperor.
Li Yuan's attitude made Li Yuanji a little disappointed, did you mention that you still want to be the emperor? So I can't save snacks? As for the future, who cares about the future? With the army in hand, no one else can take away the position of the prince, can't you let me go for a few years?
seems to see that Li Yuanji's attitude is not very positive, Li Yuan also knows Li Yuanji's thoughts, this son is still the same as he was at the beginning, he doesn't want to be the emperor, he just wants to be an idle prince.
The ideal is good, but Li Shimin didn't believe it, so he did that kind of thing, and ended up like this.
Li Yuan absolutely believed it, but it was useless for him to believe it, because with his previous experience, Li Yuanji would never hand over the army, without the army, what did it mean for this emperor to be in front of him? It's better to hand over power happily, Lao Tzu is Lao Tzu's emperor, don't ask about court affairs, and don't disturb Lao Tzu at ease.
"The dragon and phoenix among my children, sooner or later they will experience this day, and this is a good thing for you." Li Yuan persuaded with a smile, and this atmosphere was a little abnormal.
"Father, the son just received the news that Jiang Guogong has gone!" I don't want Li Yuan to talk about this again, anyway, it is impossible for him not to ascend the throne, he is pulled by Li Yuan, and pushed by Su Dingfang, Jieli and others, he can't hide, Li Yuanji's mind is still on the side of Luozhou.
After hearing the news that Jiang Guogong had gone, Li Yuan, who had been happy before, fell silent in an instant, and a sad expression faintly appeared on his face.
seems to be recalling the twilight of the dynasty between the two, as if recalling Qu Tutong's familiar face, Qu Tutong is the person Li Yuan admires the most, and he is also the person he trusts the most, even now, even when he was in Xuanwumen, Qu Tutong did not help, but it still does not reduce Li Yuan's trust.
"Old! Old! After a long time, Li Yuan shook his head with a wry smile on his face and sighed to himself.
"Father, the son plans to choose one of Li Jing and Li Tao to take over in Luozhou, I don't know what my father thinks?" Although I don't want to bother, I still have to put my personal emotions aside for a while in the face of big things.
"Why don't you send Duan Lun to Luozhou?" Li Yuan asked.
After Li Shimin came to power, Duan Lun was ostracized, the reason is very simple, Duan Lun is Li Jiancheng's person, and Li Jiancheng is good friends with Li Yuanji, plus Gaomi's girl is quite close to Li Yuanji, and she intercedes for him three or four times, so how can Li Shimin use him with confidence? It is also a matter of course to be ostracized.
Seeing that Li Yuanji actually ignored Duan Lun, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although he was talented, he was still too tender, if he talked about his real own people, Duan Lun was Li Yuanji's absolute henchman.
Coupled with Gao Mi's girl standing there, it is reasonable, public and private, Li Yuanji should not snub Duan Lun, not that the other two are not suitable.
Duan Lun's resume is no worse than that of the two, he can be civil and martial, and he is the most suitable to govern one side.
"Erchen forgot about the fourth brother-in-law!" Li Yuanji slapped his head, how could he forget this stubble? Thanks to the fourth sister who took care of herself so much at the beginning, she also took care of the family after she left, until in the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she closed her feet and didn't come out to protest Li Shimin's absurd behavior.
Li Yuanji immediately instructed Li Yuan's chamberlain behind him: "Quick, go and call the fourth brother-in-law too......"
