Chapter 40: The Cabinet of Seven

Li Chengzong is not worried about Su Dingfang, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are in front, and Su Dingfang is behind, if the two sides are flanked, they can't deal with Tuyuhun. Li Chengzong really admitted, and he had no life to expand his territory. Li Chengzong's idea is also simple, for the sake of future generations, killing more people is nothing, killing more people is nothing, and the most important thing is to wipe out the Quartet.

After the elimination of the Quartet, there is also institutional reform. The decay of all dynasties is never from the bottom up, it is from the top down. A mediocre emperor can defeat a dynasty for a hundred or even hundreds of years by himself. Li Chengzong's cabinet is a very gentle reform, not separating power but centralizing power, but this centralized power is in everyone's hands.

The cabinet would become the emperor, an organization that really held the power of the emperor. Of course, when Lee Seung-jong was there, he couldn't let the cabinet replace him. It's not easy to worry about Li Chengzong, who is afraid, if he comes up and gives the emperor's power to the cabinet, where will he play? Where are you going to cool down? In the future, according to Li Chengzong's idea, at least he will work until retirement, so that the cabinet can really come to power.

The supervision was personally handled by the royal family, and Li Shentong and Li Ying were people with no skills. But it turns out that they are better than too many people in checking whether others are capable and competent. If this person doesn't have any great ability, he doesn't want to see someone who has more ability than him to live in peace, and he has to talk about any small mistake that people have.

Xiao Yu didn't know what Li Chengzong thought, but since Su Dingfang's matter would not change, there was no need to persuade him. It stands to reason that in Xiao Yu's eyes, Li Chengzong can already be said to be a Ming Jun, since he ascended the throne, he has never built a large number of buildings, never indulged in women, and never said that he would kill anyone who is not pleasing to the eye. If it is not good, Li Chengzong will refute it bluntly, and if it is good, Li Chengzong will point it out if he thinks it is wrong. Such an emperor is not a hundred years, that is not to be met.

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty must be just around the corner.

Although the Turks failed in this war, it was harmless, and it was nothing more than a waste of money, food, and time. In the past, time was not so important, the court did not need to raise so many soldiers, and when the war was fought, they took care of food and shelter, and after the war, they went back to their own homes and found their own mothers. Not now, whether there is a war or not, whether there is a work or not, there are so many people who have to eat. After a long time, even if there is surplus food, there is not enough to eat.

The reason why the government military system has been prevalent for so long is not when the productivity is not high, and this is indeed a good way to save money and food.

Li Chengzong thought that he was leaving, Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong are leaving."

"Yes, one was sent to Songzhou by me, and the other was sent by me to survey the population of various places, what's wrong?" Li Chengzong said what was wrong, this is asking Xiao Yu. I already knew in my heart that Xiao Yu was afraid that he wanted to introduce someone of his own to the cabinet, Xiao Rui was waiting for him outside in this cold weather, and it must be for this matter when he met and smiled! For a while, Li Chengzong didn't agree or not, Xiao Yu's son Xiao Rui, Pei Lian's son Pei Lawyer, they are all people who can do things, but they are not people who can get into trouble.

Officer! Whatever you explain, they can do it well. Trouble! It's like a sudden accident, and they can't say that they don't have the ability to adapt, but it's certain that they will be in a hurry after this incident. They are all generals, not handsome, and they are second-tier figures when they enter the cabinet, which is dispensable.

Xiao Yu said: "There is a shortage of people in the cabinet, I don't know if my son Xiao Rui can be appreciated by His Majesty!"

Xiao Rui is Xiao Qianniang's eldest brother, and he is a little higher than Li Chengzong in terms of seniority. Li Chengzong looked at Xiao Yu, who was staring at him intently on the bed, and thought for a long time before saying, "Okay, let him go to the cabinet tomorrow!" I'll make a decree. ”

"Really?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Of course it's true, you don't joke." Li Chengzong said in his heart, your son went, and Pei Lin had to come back like this. I still don't want to wait for him to play a bitter trick for me, and tomorrow I will send a decree that lawyer Pei will be included in the cabinet. Seven people are enough, with Xiao Rui and Lawyer Pei here, these two old guys will not come to pick the cabinet again in the future.

Xiao Yu really got up and wanted to kneel down and thank the emperor. Li Chengzong's annoyance, it's not that I'm kind to you, it's obvious that you forced it.

"I'm back to the palace first, you can rest well." Li Chengzong said that he didn't care about Xiao Yu, he was leaving, he had no intention of rubbing rice, who knew how many big dramas there would be when he ate for a while, Li Chengzong didn't want to watch it, and it would be difficult to think about it if he didn't give money.

Xiao Qianniang saw that Li Chengzong was leaving, and said that she had to go back to the palace with her.

Li Chengzong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your father is sick, it doesn't hurt for you to stay a few more days." If you want to go back, you can go back again. It's also very stuffy in the palace, so you don't have to go back with me now. ”

Who is not happy to live in her mother's house, of course Xiao Qianniang has no objection.

Li Chengzong's return to the palace this time is nothing more than to have fun and enjoy the blessings of Qi people. Li Chengzong swore to heaven that if there were any other entertainment, he would not do this.

On the second day of the cabinet, the four-person palace with the emperor's will was encountered. Chai Shao is a little unhappy, he is also a battle-hardened general, why can Pei Lin and Lawyer Pei come. Tang Jian is okay, but he is not as depressed as Chai Shao in his heart. He was elected by the emperor to enter the cabinet, which is equivalent to pie in the sky, and he thinks that he is not satisfied with the extravagance.

The cabinet of seven people, as usual, was divided into two groups, and the remaining one was the overseer on duty today. All the official documents approved today are the ones who are on duty who are responsible for checking the impropriety. And what everyone reviews is completely random when they encounter something.

Chai Shao took a book from Du Ruhui's hand, and after reading it, there was no chance to find faults, and then signed his name and handed it to Wei Zheng on duty. Tang Jian and Lawyer Pei's group are also decent, and there are no major mistakes. Don't look at this work, just look at it again, write a permission or not, and write a countermeasure for trouble, but it is not easy.

The final procedure was for the eunuchs in the palace to send the notes that the cabinet had corrected one day to Li Chengzong's Longshu case. Li Chengzong must use the seal to be finished. However, Li Chengzong never looked at it, and all the people handed over were Zhu Bajie who flipped them one by one, and then stamped the big seal. Li Chengzong originally said that he didn't need Zhu Bajie to do it himself, but Zhu Bajie still didn't agree. What a great honor this is, not to mention that he has to work for more than an hour every day, but Zhu Bajie enjoys it.

The Turkic war is gone, the new war has not yet begun, there are people to do trivial things, and Li Chengzong has become an idle emperor. In addition to being a little concerned about the situation of the Chang'an garrison, he either sleeps or sleeps every day.

Not long after, there were some bad rumors outside the court, saying that Li Chengzong ignored government affairs and was an out-and-out emperor. As soon as these words came out, the faces of several members of the cabinet changed, and they said in their hearts, don't let me know who spread it, otherwise it will be indispensable to eat it alive and add oil to the pan.
