Chapter 728: Action
A few days after Li Chengqian's secret meeting with the envoys of the Western Regions at night, except for Hou Junji who led the army to return to the court, there was no major news in the court.
Not only are the envoys of the Western Regions honest, but the ministers in the court seem to have settled down a lot, and in the past, a trivial matter above the court would cause the ministers of different factions to argue in full swing, and now everyone has changed their temperament overnight, even if they don't like each other, they will definitely not point it out in the court. The atmosphere above the court was very good.
Although the atmosphere is good on the surface, in private there is an undercurrent surging and constant competition.
Because recently Li Shimin will announce a list of personnel appointments, almost everyone is staring at this list!
Longyou, several cities in Guannei Road were destroyed, and the officials and generals who defended the city resisted to the death, and unfortunately all of them were killed. At that time, the whole country mourned.
Now, more than two months have passed since the war, the wounds of the war have gradually been erased, the destroyed cities are being rebuilt rapidly, some of the damaged cities are now inhabitable, and the people are moving over.
In the same way, these cities will be appointed with new officials to manage the city, large and small, and in all its rules. And the selection of officials is very urgent now, because the power involved in these officials is too great, so this matter has been delayed until now, and only a formal decision must be made and announced in the court.
It's all official positions with real power! What a tempting position to be in charge of a city! Even if you are not the number one in the city, it is great to be selected as the second or third leader!
You must know that officials at this level are basically transferred at the same level, and few are promoted from below, and suddenly there are so many more official positions out of thin air, which naturally makes everyone red-eyed, and everyone wants to fight.
This is the time for power reshuffle, and it is also an opportunity for all factions in the DPRK and China, and almost everyone is staring at the scroll of holy decree in Li Shimin's hand, because this holy decree is related to the future and fate of many people.
Li Chengqian kept sneering, this personnel edict was drafted by him, and he knew the personnel arrangements in it the most, so he was the only one present who was not anxious, and he was also the only one who secretly rejoiced.
Li Shimin glanced at the ministers and asked Wanfu to step forward to read the draft personnel edict.
Of course, such an important personnel appointment will not be hastily decided, and after the personnel are drawn up, they must be discussed by the courtiers and reviewed by the three provinces, and finally they can be delegated to the ministry and implemented.
Every time Wanfu recites a person's name and the corresponding position, he will also recite a paragraph of the person's corresponding merits. Otherwise, with just one name, I am afraid that many people in the court will not know who he is.
If you don't read a person, Wanfu will pause, and if someone has an opinion about this person, you can put it forward on the spot. Of course, it's not impossible to mention it after reading it.
Wan Fu read them one by one, and at first the ministers were silent, but later, some ministers would put forward some of their own opinions, of course, only to put forward their views, and did not express opposition.
Because since Li Shimin has taken out this personnel appointment, it means that it has been largely decided, and it is nothing more than a change in a small area, and the so-called announcement is just a passing scene.
As long as the scholars of the three provinces review it one more time, if there are no problems, they can issue a notice of appointment.
Li Tai was undoubtedly the most nervous one, Li Shimin delegated the drafting power to Li Chengqian, Li Tai could not intervene in this appointment at all, he was afraid that Li Chengqian would conspire with him, and the officials of his faction would not make any arrangements.
However, at the end of hearing this, Li Tai showed a relaxed smile, in terms of personnel selection, his faction is similar to the personnel occupied by Li Chengqian's faction, and the others are some centrists, but there are still talented and capable people, and there is no partiality.
"I don't think Li Chengqian will make a small move in front of His Majesty! Hum! Li Tai was secretly smug, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and the old god stood in the court without making a sound.
In the end, Manbok read out the appointments, and almost no ministers in the DPRK and China objected.
The selected officials were definitely not written down by Li Chengqian in a joking manner, and after two months of investigation and screening, he finally wrote down these dozens of people. It can be said that each of them cost him a great deal of effort, so the ministers had very few opinions.
Everything went relatively smoothly, and the expected scene of the ministers tearing apart did not appear, and this fair personnel appointment was recognized by everyone.
Li Shimin saw that everyone didn't seem to have too many opinions, so he handed over the appointment to Fang Xuanling, and he organized it.
originally wanted Wanfu to announce that he had something to play and leave early, but at this time, Li Chengqian, who was sitting on the right side of the dragon chair, got up with the support of the eunuch, saluted Li Shimin respectfully, and then said with a smile: "Father, the son has something to play!" ”
"Oh?" Li Shimin's eyes flickered, as if he expected something, "Qian'er sat down and said." ”
Li Chengqian hurriedly saluted again, and then sat down in his seat.
"Father, what the son said is related to the envoys of the Western Regions."
When Li Chengqian said this, it immediately caused a lot of commotion in the court. Everyone knows that Li Shimin hates the countries of the Western Regions to the core, and has been snubbing them all this time, but no one expected that it was Li Chengqian, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the dynasty, who stood up to break this deadlock.
"Well, what does Qian'er want to say?"
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "Father, four months ago, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions formed an alliance to invade the territory of the Western Regions, resulting in the destruction of several cities, the destruction of people's homes, countless casualties, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers dying on the battlefield. This is the hatred of the country, and it has to be avenged! After a pause, Li Chengqian's tone changed suddenly, "However, after the war stopped, the countries of the Western Regions sent envoys to Chang'an one after another to accuse them, with a sincere attitude and brought compensation. ”
"Humph!" As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, someone below snorted coldly, and an official from Li Tai's faction, the king of Wei, stood up, and said coldly after saluting: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wrong in what he said, the countries of the Western Regions have invaded my territory and caused huge losses, can we forgive them so easily?" What about teaching the people who died because of it? How to teach those warriors who gave their lives for their country? Isn't it too cheap for them? ”
After the official finished speaking, another official stood up and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that we don't have the spirit of a great power? ”
This is a bit serious, which is equivalent to including Li Shimin, so everyone present who heard this secretly sighed whether this person was crazy.
Li Chengqian sneered and asked the two of them rhetorically: "But if these envoys are not allowed to meet, will the affairs of the Western Regions continue to drag on like this?" Who will bear the damage? Are you coming? Do you have the strength to swear in front of the court? If not, don't pretend to be righteous and stand up! ”
The two of them were speechless and couldn't speak. Li Chengqian turned to Li Shimin and said: "Father, my sons and daughters think that the affairs of the Western Regions cannot be delayed any longer, and it is time to put forward conditions. The losses suffered by Datang should be returned by all the countries of the Western Regions! ”
