Chapter 884: Officialdom

On the third day, Li Xin gathered his ministers in the Mudeok Palace, summoned the two sisters Jindeman and Kim Seungman, canonized Jindeman as the king of Silla County, and ordered the generals Liu Heimin and Kan Ling to lead 30,000 troops to cooperate with Silla to attack Baekje.

On the top of the main hall, Li Xin and Silla Jin Shengman as a concubine, canonized him as a beauty, and completely tied Silla to the chariot of the Tang Dynasty, of course, Du Ruhui and others knew that Li Xin had begun to lay out the Three Kingdoms of Silla, and in the near future, the army of the Tang Dynasty would appear on the land of the Three Kingdoms of Silla.

Kindman left Datang with a lot of military equipment given by Li Shin, accompanied by thirty students from the Military Academy, who would be the first batch of instructors stationed in Silla to be responsible for the training and transformation of the Silla army. More importantly, bring the glory of the Tang Dynasty to the army, and at a certain time, plot against the officers and soldiers of Silla.

After sending Kindman away, Li Shin put aside state affairs for the time being, and enjoyed the beauty of Chang'an left by Silla with peace of mind. It's a pity that Datang, who has just seized the world, has undoubtedly not reached this point. As soon as he sat down to rest, he saw Du Ruhui under the leadership of Song He and came to the Imperial Garden.

"Your Majesty, this is a memora presented by Lord Wei Zheng from Hebei, and the ministers dare not make a decision, so please ask Your Majesty to make a decision." Du Ruhui was holding the music in his hand, and he could faintly see a trace of hot sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know if it was because the weather was hot, or he was surprised by the content of the music.

"Wei Zheng, this guy has done something unavoidable in Hebei?" Li Xin took the piece with a smile and said, "It can't be that you copied it again!" ”

"If you copy a family, forget it, it's really Wei Zheng not only fighting tigers in Hebei, but more importantly, even the wild dogs next to him are also being beaten, and the minister feels that if it goes on like this. I am afraid that the land of Shandong will once again have a repeated situation. Du Ruhui said with a solemn face.

Li Xin opened the chapter, looked at it, his face was much worse, and said: "Are the landlords and heroes in Shandong really so powerful? It's okay to act in private, and these boys and buddies are really making trouble like this. The things mentioned above, have Jinyiwei and the Criminal Department checked it? ”

"Your Majesty, there is no need to check these things, although some of the children of the family have real talents, but in the same way, there are still some people who rely on the power of the family to bully men and women, Lord Wei has good intentions, but he punishes so many people in one go. The minister is worried that there will be chaos, and besides, there are people from the Kong family here. Du Ruhui said with some concern: "Although Xuancheng has found some excuses, in fact, the goal is still very clear, private soldiers and land are the lifeblood of the Shandong family, and there will be no problem for him, the counselor, to keep an eye on it." It's just that there are a lot of people moving this time! ”

"And what do you mean?" Li Xin thought for a while and asked.

"If you want to do it, you can do a big one, it depends on whether Your Majesty has confidence. Chen thought that the first step could be for Tang Feng to publish the above things in the world. The Confucian family still has some status in Shilin, and only in this way can we gain the upper hand morally, and the real people of insight will not be confused by the Confucian family. ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be a bit difficult to enforce this. Is there any other way? Li Xin asked again.

"Either transfer back to Wei Zheng, or send troops." Du Ruhui said in a low voice: "Transferring back to Wei Zheng can temporarily ease the tension between the imperial court and the Shandong family. If you send troops, you can suppress the Shandong family and completely solve the affairs of Shandong, but there may be problems in the same Shandong. ”

"There is no need to transfer back Wei Zheng, we have to believe Wei Zheng." Li Xin pondered for a moment. said: "The situation in Shandong is complicated, Wei Zheng alone may not be able to solve it, send an edict to Zhang Zhenzhou, lead 20,000 troops to sit in Linzi, and cooperate with Wei Zheng, the first step is to solve the private soldiers of the Shandong family, and within the scope of Datang, there are no private soldiers." ”

"Yes." Du Ruhui nodded, Shandong is a nail, the Shandong family is firmly nailed to that place, so that the imperial court is tied, this feeling makes ministers like Du Ruhui very annoyed, but there is no good way to solve this matter.

"By the way, are those officials of the Li family still useful?" Li Xin suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Some work, some don't." Du Ruhui glanced at Li Xin, and suddenly said: "The imperial court has actually made proper arrangements for these people, but there is one thing that these people may not be convinced!" ”

"Knighthood?" Li Xin snorted coldly and said: "My Tang Dynasty pays attention to military merits and marquis, and you civil officials also pay attention to the size of your contribution to the imperial court and seal the marquis and duke." You are all old courtiers who follow me, so there will be dukes and county dukes, what qualifications do those people have to be crowned dukes and marquises? ”

Pei Lin once said that it was he who persuaded the Li clan to surrender, so that the Tang soldiers could get Xindu without blood. But the emperor did not give him any reward. Du Ruhui hurriedly said.

"Just him, he is still thinking about rewarding, that's really a big joke, but Yu Chen, under the Li family, has not done anything good, and he still wants to be rewarded in the new dynasty, is there such a shameless person in the world?" Li Xin's impression of Pei Lin is actually not good, thinking that the other party has no talent at all, just talking.

In fact, there are many military generals under Li Yuan, and there are many people who are really capable, but most of the civil officials are from the family, and it is inevitable that they will be stained with some bad habits, and such people are not suitable to serve as officials in the new dynasty.

"The minister thinks that such people should order them to go home to recuperate, Pei Lin and the others are too old to be suitable for the important tasks of the imperial court." Du Ruhui thought for a while and said: "Not only Pei Lin these people, but also the officials of the previous dynasty, the minister thinks that some of them can not apply the official mechanism of the Tang Dynasty, when His Majesty unified the world, we generally adopted the method of retaining officials from all over the country, so as to quickly maintain local order, now we completely unify the world, the minister believes that at this time, the officials of the whole country should be inspected, and those who are competent should be retained, or even promoted, if not, they will be dismissed from their official positions and served with excellent people. ”

"Have you discussed this matter in the Wude Palace?" Li Xin hesitated for a while and said.

Inspecting officials is a big matter, and it will inevitably involve the interests of many people, and it is not an easy thing to solve it well, and even Li Xin must be cautious. It's just that the matter brought up by Du Ruhui is also a big deal, Li Xin has been in charge of the world for several years, and his foundation is stable, and it is not impossible to move officialdom at this time.

"It hasn't been submitted to the Martial Arts Hall for discussion." Du Ruhui knew that Li Xin had some intentions, so he quickly explained.

"Then submit it to the Wude Hall first, and after the scholars discuss it, see if it can be implemented." Li Xin thought about it and decided to let everyone discuss it before making a decision. (To be continued.) )
