Chapter 1438: Take Control of the Eldest Sun Family
The capital Tiance General's Mansion
After the eldest grandson Chong was transferred back to the capital, he has been doing some idle things, and Li Xiang can also see that this guy is not happy in these positions, Li Shimin has already made up his mind, and he can't let the three people of the eldest grandson's family have too much power, even if it is the eldest grandson Wuji, who he trusts the most, some things have to be considered for the children and grandchildren.
So even if someone says that it is a bit of a waste of talent, Li Shimin will definitely not let Changsun Chong return to the front line, now Changsun Ze is already working in the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, if Changsun Chong is allowed to return to the front line, plus Changsun Wuji's status in the imperial court, he will soon be able to create a gate valve.
From Li Shimin's succession to the throne to the present, the influence of these big families has been eliminated, if another one appears in his own hands, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? Take these new nobles of Chang'an City as an example, although their strength in various places is not weak, it is basically impossible if they want to be the same as the previous five surnames and seven wangs.
Even one-fifth of the strength of the people can't catch up, Li Shimin was not idle when Li Xiang went out to fight, about some officials within the imperial court, and even the distribution of some prominent families in various places, Li Shimin is all in his heart, and some subtle actions can not be seen in ordinary times, but when you gather the intelligence of the entire country together, you know what Li Shimin is doing.
With the help of those people in black, Li Shimin often cuts the rights of the family clan at the most critical moment, and although the other family clans feel the crisis, but Li Xiang is outside Li Shimin, they have no other way to fight back, and even the signs cannot be revealed, once it is revealed, then the next target is you.
Of course, the current Li Shimin is very experienced in governance, and he constantly pours ecstasy soup into these big families, for example, he often entertains them, making these people think that they have become an indispensable part of the Tang Dynasty, so when Li Shimin makes a move, these people naturally feel that they are dead friends, and they are not dead and poor, and it is impossible for them to come to themselves.
But when it came to them, they found that they were all pitted by Li Shimin, if they were united before, at least they would be able to make their own voice heard in the court, but because they didn't do anything when others died, their alliance was already loose and couldn't be loosened anymore, even if you have the idea of resisting, but think about Li Xiang who is leading the troops outside, they don't have that idea.
However, among all the families who have been taken out of power, Changsun Chong is definitely an accident, Li Xiang has now transferred Changsun Chong to the Imperial City Division, where he is responsible for collecting some intelligence from all over the world, of course, in order to limit Changsun Chong's rights, Li Xiang can only let him be in charge of foreign intelligence, and Li Xiang is also looking for someone else for some domestic information.
Although the power is limited, it is much better than in an idle position.
So after Changsun Chong arrived at this position, he also did his own characteristics, and today it was time to report again, and Changsun Chong came to Li Xiang with a lot of information and waited.
"Lord Eldest Sun."
Admiral Tiance's Mansion implements a numbering system, and every day I don't know how many people have to come to Li Xiang to report their work, so they must follow the number, just like the bank number in modern society, if it is not your turn, then you have to wait in the back.
Of course, there are some things that are more important, once you feel that it is urgent, then you can take the expedited channel, but if you use this right indiscriminately, you will also be punished in the future, although the information reported by Changsun Chong today is very important, but it has not yet reached the point of taking the expedited channel, so I also chatted with these adults present while waiting.
Many people say that Admiral Tiance's Mansion is a small imperial court, and many people still didn't believe it at the time, but as long as you come here to take a look, you know how true it is.
In the eyes of Changsun Chong, it is a bit modest to say that this is a small court, just look at these adults present, they are all some of the real power factions in the yamen of various ministries, and there are some symbolic officials when the court is in power.
Those people are in high positions, but they don't have much power in their hands, and they often make remarks on some things that are not very important, but in a place like the Tiance General's Mansion, that kind of ethereal officials don't need to appear, because every matter solved by the Tiance General's Mansion is related to the society and people's livelihood, as for those illusory things, you should go up and talk to the emperor, Li Xiang doesn't have the kung fu to listen to your nonsense.
After Changsun Chong got his number, he went to the pavilion next to him and waited, compared to the title of Lord Changsun, he still liked General Changsun, and he began to change careers in his twenties, and played his own merits in the army, but it was a pity, because he had to balance the family power, he could only return to the capital.
Fortunately, it can still be in the Imperial City Division Yamen, although this is not a regular army, but it is also the management method of the army, which is also a powerful department, compared to being an idle position in other departments, this is already a very good placement, so Changsun Chong is also very grateful to Li Xiang, if there is no special arrangement by Li Xiang, I may not know where to be stunned now.
The most important thing that Chang'an City lacks is the position to place such people, among the major departments of Chang'an City, there are many people who are doing every day, and there is no serious thing at all, and those who come here and there, except for wasting the resources of the imperial court, cannot play any positive role at all.
But you can't delete such a position, such a position is used to balance the major families, each family must have its own people in the court, but if the ability is not good, it can only be given an empty official position.
Of course, everyone wants a position of real power, but there are so many positions of real power in Chang'an City, and sometimes even if it is such an empty position, it is what many people want to pursue, just like the dragon guard in the dream of Red Mansions.
After waiting for about half a dozen days, it happened to be time for lunch, and the other officials went to the side to eat, and Changsun Chong was also ready to go to the Tang Dynasty in the Tiance General's Mansion to eat, who knew that Manager Xia came over with his subordinates, and it seemed that he was going to Li Xiang's place for dinner at noon today......
