Li Su said: "What do you think of Hou Junji? ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "It's okay, for the backwater of the imperial court, it needs to be solved with iron-fisted means." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info That's it, right? ”

Li Shimin was in a very good mood and said: "Let's go, go out and play a game, my table tennis skills are improving rapidly now, and there is no opponent in the Taiji Palace." ”

Li Su smiled: "That's because people let you, I'm embarrassed to win you." ”

Li Shimin smiled: "You stinky boy, won't you slap your ass?" "He enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere.

Lizheng Palace.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Sister, the emperor has adjusted the positions of the main ministers this time, I have replaced Li Jing's right servant, and the secretary is vacant. But no one thought that he would be replaced by Hou Junji? ”

Empress Changsun said: "Brother, don't tell me about these things in the future, the emperor is the most taboo in the harem, and it's useless for you to tell me." Moreover, you have served as the secretary of the ministry for too long, and it is normal for the emperor to be uneasy.

And, I'm sure he's not targeting you, so don't think about it. You are now the prime minister (the servant is equivalent to the prime minister), just do your job well. ”

Hou Junji wore the robes of civil officials, he was not used to it for a while, and he felt awkward when he sat in the carriage for civil officials, so he simply rode to the ministry to take office.

At half past eight o'clock in the morning of this day, Hou Junji specially asked for leave not to go to the morning court, and came directly to the yamen of the ministry, he wanted to see how the officials of the ministry usually worked.

After entering the official office of the Ministry of Officials, Hou Junji found that he was the first to come to work. In the entire yamen of the ministry, only one Zheng7 book office was cleaning.

Hou Junji asked, "What's your name?" ”

The clerk was in his early 30s, medium height, yellow skin, round face, fleshy eyes, and average appearance. His name is Wei Yao, he was originally a county magistrate of Chang'an County, because of his hard work and ability, he was recommended to the Ministry by his old boss Huang Guangyuan, the former head of the household department.

Datang is an era of looking at faces, Li Shimin has a problem, the first thing to look at is the appearance, anything that doesn't look pleasing to the eye, I'm sorry, I can't use it. Wei Yao is a barely passing character in appearance, so he is not reused in the Ministry of Officials, and it has been 5 years since he arrived in the Ministry of Officials, and his official position has not changed, but his grade has risen from 7 to 7.

Wei Yao said respectfully: "If Lord Hui Shangshu is a subordinate, his subordinate is named Wei Yao, and he is the secretary of the Research Department. ”

Hou Junji asked, "Why are you alone and the others?" ”

Wei Yao said: "Other adults, there is something about you today, and you are a little late. ”

Hou Junji asked, "Why did you come so early?" ”

Wei Yao said: "The habits that my subordinates have developed below, I can't stay at home, so I came. ”

Hou Junji learned some information about the officials from Wei Yao.

It wasn't until 8:50 a.m. that the second official came to work. Then the officials came to the official office one after another. The last one didn't come to the government office until 9:40 a.m.

The last one to come, named Zhou Zhou, is a colt of Li Yuan, and he is currently the 5th Shaoqing.

After Li Yuan became the emperor, Li Shimin kept sending beautiful women to his father in order to relieve his boredom. Li Yuan had no other hobbies, so he carried out the man-making movement every day, and as a result, he gave birth to hundreds of children, and he couldn't even name them. If there are more eldest princesses, they are not worth much, and this colt is the same.

Zhou Zhou came to the official office and found that the people were not there, and when he inquired, he learned that today was the new official department Shangshu Hou Junji who had taken office, and the officials were all gathered in the conference room to meet.

After Zhou Zhou came in, he found that all the officials were standing in the hall, and Hou Junji was standing with his hands behind his back facing the wall, it seemed that he was waiting for himself.

Liu Qing, the servant of the ministry, saw Zhou Zhou coming in, and said to Hou Junji: "Lord Shangshu, everyone has arrived." ”

Hou Junji turned around, glared at his eyes and asked, "Lord Zhou, what time should the officials go to work?" ”

Zhou Zhou said: "Lord Hui Shangshu, it should be at half past eight." ”

Hou Junji said: "Then why did you come here at this time?" ”

Zhou Zhou said: "The eldest princess is unwell today, so her subordinates are late. He brought out the eldest princess, meaning to let Hou Junji see that he was a colt and save face for him.

Hou Junji said: ", Ben Shangshu has already understood the situation, and you basically do it every day." The system stipulated by the imperial court is to go to work at half past eight, and you should abide by the imperial system.

If you are in the army, if you can't get it, you will be hit with 50 military sticks and killed by the heavy!

Can an official like you, who disregards the laws of the imperial court, still expect you to serve the emperor?

This Shangshu announces that from today onwards, you will retain your rank, and your position will be reversed from Wei Yao. Wei Yao had always worked diligently, and Ben Shangshu believed that the imperial court needed such loyal officials. Ben Shangshu decided to protect Wei Yao to the emperor and directly promote Zheng 5 products Shaoqing. ”

At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Officials learned how powerful Hou Junji was. This general's decision to kill is not the style of the tolerant eldest grandson Wuji.

Hou Junji said: "From today onwards, anyone who is 10 minutes late will be deducted from the monthly salary if there is no justifiable reason. Those who are late for three times in a month will be demoted by one level. If you are late for 5 times, you will be relieved of your duties and go home to pick up your child. Do you all understand? ”

The officials trembled and replied in unison, "I understand, Lord Shangshu." ”

Hou Junji said: "What are you doing in a daze? Let's all go back to work. ”

The officials hurried back to work.

As soon as Hou Junji took office, the work style of the officials immediately changed significantly.

Soon after, in the early dynasty, Li Shimin praised Hou Junji's approach. He gave the ministry a power. The Ministry of Officials and the Imperial Historical Observatory were instructed to form a joint inspection team to supervise and evaluate the work style of various ministries of the imperial court.

The atmosphere of the imperial court has changed greatly.

Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.

Li Su, the king of Liang, took the list of officers transferred to the government, handed it to Li Shimin, and said: "Father, there are 1,300 of these officers in total, all of whom have a certain cultural foundation, have been trained, and have a certain understanding of how to deal with local political affairs.

During this training, the sons specially instructed them to bring the work style of the army to the work of the localities, strive to reverse the loose work style of the government, and improve the efficiency of the government's work. ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Very good, next year, a group of officers will be transferred to the government at all levels, and those clan children will be gradually replaced."

Hou Junji exercised military control over the officials, which was a very good method, and the efficiency of the imperial court had been greatly improved recently. The candidate you recommended for the secretary of the ministry is the right person. ”

"Father, for the sake of the son's dedication, the son-in-law wants to ask you for a favor." Li Su said.
