Chapter 426: Knocking
Hou Junji is a very talented general, although Li Yuanji is not good to his senses, and it can even be said that he is very bad.
But Li Yuanji has never denied Hou Junji's talent, and the two things that made him hate Hou Junji did not really happen, so Li Yuanji could still suppress the suppression in his heart and arrange him to be a deputy general under Su Dingfang.
But this thing still can't change the dog to eat, although it may be a bit ugly to say this, but in fact it is.
The first is that Li Shimin sent Hou Junji and Zhang Liang to learn the art of war from Li Jing in history, Zhang Liang was fine, Li Jing didn't say anything more after teaching, but Hou Junji didn't do it, because he didn't teach him until Li Jing hid his private secrets, so he relied on Li Shimin's love for him and ran to falsely accuse Li Jing of rebellion.
The final result was naturally that Li Jing was fine, and Hou Junji was reprimanded.
The second thing is that when Hou Junji led the army to conquer Gaochang Kingdom, as the commander, Hou Junji disregarded the military discipline of the Tang army, and instead of ordering his soldiers to loot property, he himself took the lead in entering the Gaochang Palace and robbing it.
Tang Jun, bandits, these two words can never be linked.
The Tang Army was a national force, a regular military institution, and had strict military discipline, but Hou Junji led the Tang Army, which had clear military discipline, and did what only bandits would do.
The final result was naturally that the reputation of the Tang Army in the Western Regions countries fell sharply because of this, and even fell into passivity for a long time.
And Hou Junji was edicted back to Chang'an, and the imaginary Fenggong Jinjue did not happen, but ushered in a prison disaster, until Li Shimin decided not to pursue it and released him, this goods did not thank him, did not repent of his actions.
Instead, he found Zhang Liang, who was going to Luozhou to take office, saying that he wanted to rebel and let Zhang Liang follow him.
Although he was released, Li Shimin's anger at this time had not completely dissipated, and as a result, he dragged people to rebel as soon as he was released, is this worth it?
So, not long after he came out, Hou Junji entered the prison again, and this time, he was not able to get out.
With these two things in the past, although it was the original history, because of his own arrival, these histories have long ceased to exist, but although history has changed, everyone's character has not changed.
Therefore, when Hou Junji ignored the military order in Tuyuhun and ordered the robbery, it was actually confirmed that sooner or later, he would still say that kind of rebellion.
In history, why did Hou Junji pull Zhang Liang to rebel? In addition to the good relationship between the two, there is a more important reason.
Because of Hou Junji's character, there were not many people who were willing to have a deep friendship with him, and Hou Junji was not only rewarded for his great achievements at that time, but was locked up, which made him feel very disappointed.
For a person, as long as the first impression is bad, it is difficult to correct it later, and it takes time and a lot of events to change.
It's a pity that he was given the opportunity, but he couldn't grasp it himself.
The professional Tang Army, if it can't kill this unhealthy trend, how will this team be brought in the future?
Therefore, if Hou Junji is smart enough, the most important question he should consider now is not whether he can come out or return to the position at the top, but what to do to keep him alive.
It's just a pity that Hou Junji is not as smart as he imagined, and he can make an appointment with Fang Xuanling, but he doesn't know how to make good use of this opportunity, but he still wants to go to Gaoshan Prefecture to command the troops.
With Hou Junji's urine, he would not agree to let him out unless Li Yuanji's head was rusty.
"Zhao Xiaoyu!" After Fang Xuanling left, Li Yuanji directly asked people to summon Xiao Yu.
Don't look at the cabinet now, they are all their own people, but there are also three, six, nine and so on among their own people.
Xiao Yu has an upright personality, is strict and upright, refuses to tolerate people's shortcomings, and is not good at handling interpersonal relationships, so Xiao Yu is not very good in the cabinet, and similarly, Xiao Yu is also the only member of the four provinces except Ma Zhou.
But it is such a person who, as an emperor, dares to use it boldly and with confidence.
Moreover, there is also the grace of sending back Empress Xiao, Xiao Yu has always maintained a supportive attitude towards the emperor's opinion.
If it weren't for Fang Xuanling crossing the line this time, Li Yuanji would not treat him like this, especially Xiao Yu is not the most suitable candidate.
After a short time, Xiao Yu, who was on duty in Shangshu Province, hurriedly came, and Xiao Yu didn't know why the emperor summoned him, and his face was also not anxious, but waited for the emperor to speak calmly.
"I heard that Qing has rarely left on time lately?" Li Yuanji asked directly, although his face did not show anything, his tone was different from usual.
"Back to Your Majesty, there are not many affairs in Shangshu Province, and there are two servants on the left and right, the division of labor is clear, and there has never been any backlog of incidents, so you can leave on time!" Li Yuanji's tone was not good, but Xiao Yu was not in a hurry.
Shangshu Province is the most special province, which is different from Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Development Province.
Because Li Shimin served as Shangshuling, after he took the stage, no one dared to do the position of Shangshuling, but a province could not be left without an owner, so it could only be divided into two servants.
The left servant shoots is equivalent to Shang Shuling, although it is not called so, but the power and responsibilities are the same as Shang Shuling, and the right servant shoots is the secondary, but on the surface, the two are of the same level.
And there are actually a lot of such confusing things in the officialdom, and people who are not really mixed in with it can't understand the rules and regulations at all, even some grassroots officials, and they don't know why?
Li Yuanji said that he didn't work overtime, so he justified that the tasks had been completed on time.
The imperial court did not stipulate that officials must work overtime, and those who worked overtime were not completed, so in order to avoid the backlog of incidents, they could only work overtime every day.
There are not many things in Shangshu Province, Xiao Yu is a very experienced old official, and the distribution of duties and powers is very clear, although he has many shortcomings, but his advantages are not without advantages.
There is nothing to do in Shangshu Province, but there are many things in Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province? Why is only Shangshu Province not working overtime? Isn't this Xiao Yu's credit?
If another person is here, he will definitely repent now, and then promise again and again that he will not leave so early in the future, even if he really has nothing to do, he will spend a while more in the yamen after work before leaving.
But Xiao Yu disdains to do this, overtime is overtime, since there is no work to do, why work overtime?
Face project? That can only harm others and oneself, and it needs to be hard to strike iron, and a lump of soil, even if it is thrown into the iron ore, it is still a pile of soil, and it is impossible to turn it into iron.
"Other yamen are busy every day, but your Shangshu Province is very idle, although no one has come to complain, but I can't stand it, especially you, a servant, after a long time, it will make people gossip." Li Yuanji continued.
Xiao Yu's heart fluttered, and then he smiled bitterly.
has been an official for decades, and the prime minister has been a long-term minister, many times, and has been a high-level official in the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanji has said everything at this point, how could he not understand what Li Yuanji meant?
"The minister is willing to obey His Majesty's arrangement!" I smiled bitterly in my heart, knowing that this was the emperor's plan to put a burden on himself, but I didn't know which unlucky ghost made the emperor unhappy.
"Go back and prepare, at the next cabinet meeting, I will arrange for you to serve as the secretary of the ministry." Li Yuanji said leisurely.
"What? The secretary of the book? Xiao Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly looked up at Li Yuanji, as if asking if he had heard it wrong? Or did you say it wrong, Your Majesty?
"I am not wrong, and you are not wrong, it is the official book!" Li Yuanji said with great certainty.
"This ......" Xiao Yu hesitated slightly, if this matter was announced, he would completely offend Fang Xuanling, but ......
looked up at Li Yuanji, and hurriedly arched his hand: "No! ”
He is a minister, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, and this is not death, just a ministry, and he has not done a book, although the responsibilities are different, but for management, in fact, they are all very different.
If you don't understand something, don't meddle indiscriminately, whether a scholar is good or not depends not on how many earth-shattering things he has done, but on how many real talents he put in the right position during his tenure.
Management can be unprofessional, but the people who do things must be professional, otherwise there will be chaos.
Therefore, concurrently serving as the secretary of the ministry, Xiao Yu has no pressure at all, but he just can't understand that Fang Xuanling is the emperor's most trusted minister, why did he provoke him? also made the emperor angry and directly masturbated the position of his minister's book?
If you don't understand, you can't understand it, but Xiao Yu doesn't dare to refuse.
In fact, Li Yuanji was a little dissatisfied with Fang Xuanling as early as the previous governor of Gaoshan Prefecture, not that Fang Xuanling deliberately pressed not to do it, but when other ministers were unwilling, as the head of the cabinet, Fang Xuanling did not do ideological work with those ministers, even if he failed in the end, since he was the head of the cabinet and the henchman of the emperor, even if he pushed out the most trusted and important person at this time, he must not let the emperor lose face.
But Fang Xuanling didn't do anything, neither persuaded nor let his own people come out.
As for Xiao Yu, he thought about it, but his character didn't have any friends, so he could only be regarded as having a heart and being powerless.
As for taking down the position of his official secretary this time, in fact, it is just a beating, and at the same time, it also deters others and warns them not to go overboard, otherwise, you have to think about it first, whether the consequences can be borne by you.
