After the accident in the household department, Dali Temple and the criminal department shot at the same time, and soon investigated the officials of the household department, the official suddenly had more unknown property, and the official had any illegal behavior during his tenure, and so on. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And Dali Temple directly gave these things to Li Shimin after investigating them clearly.

After Li Shimin saw the recital sent by Dali Temple, he found that one-third of the people in the household department had problems, of course, it is not that these people are greedy for the money of the household department, but these people in the household department use their power to do things that other imperial courts do not allow.

Originally, these things didn't have much impact, and Dali Temple and the Criminal Department were not necessarily willing to investigate, but now that something happened to the household department, they couldn't let these things go.

Dali Temple and the Criminal Department only fulfilled their duties, but Li Shimin was furious after reading it, he always thought that the household department was clear and clear, and he never thought that it would be so turbid, so in a fit of anger, all these problematic officials were demoted.

One-third of the officials of the household department were all demoted, and some were abolished as commoners and were never allowed to be hired, which was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and for a time there was a discussion in Chang'an City.

And when the people of Chang'an were discussing these things about the household department, the crown prince and the king of Wei and others started a court battle in order to get the household department in their hands.

Early on this day, Li Tai, the king of Wei, proposed that Zhang Liang be appointed as the head of the household department, while the crown prince Li Chengqian supported Hou Junxin.

Neither side had their own reasons, and no one could convince anyone, so Li Shimin saw this and had to temporarily withdraw from the court.

There are people in the household department who are greedy for ink, and they have not been sent for many years, and this matter has a great shock to Li Shimin, so he does not dare to rashly appoint the position of the household secretary, the household department is too important, and all the grain, grass and armaments needed for the war are taken from the household department, if the officials of the household department don't know where to go that day, then what if there is a sudden war?

He had to appoint a trustworthy man, and the household department had to put things in order, but if he did, the courtiers couldn't give some reasonable advice.

After retiring from the dynasty on this day, Li Shimin was quite bored, so he sent someone to invite Princess Danyang, and by the way, Princess Danyang brought some cold skin and new tea.

After Princess Danyang came, the brother and sister sat together and ate cold skin.

Princess Danyang likes to add vinegar when she eats cold skin, but Li Shimin loves sesame sauce alone, and the two chatted while eating.

"Brother Huang, the ministers and sisters have heard about the affairs of the household department, I don't know who the imperial brother is going to send to serve as the secretary of the household department?"

Li Shimin chewed the cold skin in his mouth a few times and swallowed it, and then sighed lightly: "I am worried about this matter, the prince wants Hou Jun to trust Hubu Shangshu, and King Wei wants Zhang Liang, these two people are also qualified, but I am faintly uneasy." ”

The specific reason Li Shimin did not say, and the other reason why he was uneasy was because he did not want the household department to be in the hands of the crown prince or the king of Wei, and the household department should be in the hands of him Li Shimin, but so far, he has not found such a person worthy of his trust.

Princess Danyang understood Li Shimin's worries, but when she saw that Li Shimin didn't say anything, she didn't want to say much else, so she only smiled and said: "Brother Huang doesn't need to worry, I have a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty, can't I find someone who can serve as the head of the household?" ”

Li Shimin smiled, he also felt that it should not be difficult, the most important thing in Datang is talent.

-----------------------------------------------

Just when Li Shimin and Princess Danyang were eating cold skin in the palace, the ministers who retreated from the dynasty had dispersed one after another.

But one of the burly middle-aged men kept his eyebrows calm, and he was very puzzled by what had happened this morning.

This man is Hou Junxin, he is not without ideas about the household, but he has never had the luxury of expectation, but today many people in the court suddenly jumped out to support him to go to the household department to be a scholar, but he was surprised and happy.

But years of political career have made him very cautious, and things are so strange that there must be reasons he doesn't know.

The people who support him today are basically the people of the crown prince Li Chengqian, could it be that the prince Li Chengqian wants to win him over?

Hou Junxin is not against party fighting, but before the situation is clear, he doesn't want to take refuge with someone too early, and now that the crown prince Li Chengqian is helping himself so vigorously, does he have the confidence to convince himself?

Hou Junxin thought all the way, but he just couldn't figure it out, he wanted to go directly to the East Palace to ask, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and finally he could only sigh lightly and rode to the house.

East Palace.

After the crown prince Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, he immediately found Su Wuwei.

"Mr. Su, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done what you said, but can you really be sure that Hou Junxin will be drawn into our camp? Even if you could, you should wait until you brought him in before you promoted him. ”

Su Wuwei was questioned by the crown prince Li Chengqian again, but he still smiled lightly, and said unhurriedly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now the Holy Lord is very cautious about the appointment of the Household Shangshu, at this time Hou Junxin is not His Royal Highness the Prince's person, the greater his chance, otherwise what do you use to let him fight with Zhang Liang, the hero of Lingyan Pavilion?" The reason why the Holy Lord did not rush to make a decision was also because he felt that Hou Junxin was not a person from His Highness. ”

"But we support Hou Junxin like this, how can my father not be suspicious?"

"The Holy Lord is suspicious of anyone, but as long as he has no evidence to prove that Hou Junxin has taken refuge in His Highness, he will consider him."

Seeing that what Su Wuwei said was also reasonable, the crown prince Li Chengqian had no choice but to stop dwelling on this issue and asked, "Then how sure are you to convince Hou Junxin?" ”

Su Wuwei smiled: "Your Highness, do you remember that guard Helan Chushi in the East Palace?" ”

"Isn't he Hou Junji's son-in-law, what's the matter, you brought him here?"

Su Wuwei nodded: "Exactly, and it is the kind that will not change his mind, this Helan Chushi killed someone by mistake, and I dealt with it secretly, with this handle in hand, Helan Chushi must listen to His Royal Highness the Prince, and I promised a lot of benefits, he immediately expressed his willingness to smear His Highness's liver and brain." ”

After hearing what Su Wuwei said, the crown prince Li Chengqian finally felt a lot more relieved, so he asked again: "Do you want Helan Chushi to persuade Hou Junxin?" ”

Su Wuwei smiled and shook his head: "Hou Junxin only listens to his eldest brother Hou Junji's words, we want to accept Hou Junxin, we can only accept Hou Junji first, now Hou Junji has joined forces with Xue Wanche to destroy Gaochang, I think we will return to Beijing in a few months, then we can let Helan Chushi persuade Hou Junji, and we let Hou Junxin be the head of the household department, even if it is a congratulatory gift to Hou Junji." ”

"Mr. Su is reasonable, in this case, this prince will fully support Hou Junxin, but Mr. Su also has to tell Helan Chushi that he must persuade Hou Junji."

Su Wuwei smiled: "This highness can rest assured that the custody is foolproof." ”
