Chapter 1158: I, Li Shimin, still want to change myself
What's more, now the reform of the Tang Dynasty can almost be said to start from the top, especially when His Majesty, the crown prince, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin are of one mind, there is not much that these officials can do.
It is impossible to fight against the overall situation, and in the case of not being able to fight against the overall situation, of course people have to follow the trend, and now Datang has a lot of work, and there are such excellent and easy-to-use subordinates, of course they are more willing.
Because this has reduced their burden, it can be said that it has greatly reduced their burden, because of Li Ke's various restructurings, Shangshu Province has expanded more than a dozen at one time, and it will soon approach 20 departments.
In so many departments, many experienced ministers in the past were appointed as the secretary of one department, and the positions in the following departments were a large number of vacancies.
There are not enough talents, of course they are tired of doing the work, all the work needs them to do, and now this wave of first-class candidates is supplemented, as well as the amazing adaptability and ability they have done in various positions, the books of various departments, the old ministers are very satisfied.
Because their work has been lightened, now many of them only need to take ideas, and the specific details have been done by the people below. And before, the rules, ideas, and judgments were all theirs, otherwise, how could Yu Shinan, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, die in his post?
Now that it's so much easier all at once, of course they have to praise it, not to mention that what people do is really methodical.
So, when those gate valve families ask how these people are doing, of course they have to tell the truth, they don't mind revealing the news, but if you want them to do something, or something else, it's impossible, no one is stupid.
Of course, the gate valve family is not stupid, and it is impossible for them to ask these high-ranking officials to do these things, although many of these high-ranking officials themselves may be from their families.
What they want is this news, in fact, when they reach the position of these high-ranking officials, these families no longer ask them for anything, they only need to know the news, and the rest is enough for them to do it themselves.
Because these gate valve families don't want them to have an accident than these high-ranking officials, because the origins of these high-ranking officials cannot be changed, as long as they exist and don't need anything, their family can take advantage of the situation and know some inside information.
If the other party is asked to do something illegal and the other party falls, then their family will definitely be unlucky.
After these gate valve families learned of these news, the rules of their actions were also very simple, just the traditional methods that had been popular for thousands of years.
Subsidize! Marriage!
Daming Palace, Xuanzheng Palace.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the eldest grandson Wuji, plus a Chang Lin five people waiting next to him, Li Shimin and the other three sat here to drink tea, and a tea table was placed next to it, where Chang Lin made tea.
The largest palace in Daming Palace is Hanyuan Palace, which is larger than Taiji Palace, which can be used to hold court meetings at the beginning of construction, but Li Shimin has moved into Daming Palace for several months, and he has never held a court meeting here.
The court meeting has always been held in the Taiji Palace, although it was still held under the auspices of Li Shimin, but he didn't want to hold it in the Hanyuan Palace, and the Hanyuan Hall has not been held at one time.
"The auxiliary machine called you over this time, so I won't hide it from you, I believe you have guessed some of it, I'm ready to replace the prince." The four of them sat for a while and chatted a few words, and Li Shimin went straight to the point.
The four people here knew that Eldest Sun Wuji knew it before, but they didn't make it clear before.
Now that Li Shimin suddenly made his words clear, the eldest grandson Wuji was a little caught off guard, but it was nothing, after all, he had already been mentally prepared.
"As long as it is good for the Tang Dynasty, the princes have no opinions, and the ministers naturally have no opinions." The eldest grandson Wuji was silent for a moment and spoke.
"Well, to be precise, I'm not just changing the crown prince, I'm going to abdicate directly, and then I will be the emperor myself." Li Shimin added.
The three people present were somewhat speechless, to be honest, they really didn't think about this, Li Shimin hid it too well, or Li Shimin's idea all along was to change the prince, but they never expected that not only would they change the prince, but even he himself would have to change.
"This, is it His Royal Highness King Qin?" The eldest grandson Wuji can't say nothing, so he can only say it head-on.
"Yes, you all know that the current Datang is only able to take over by him, and I called you over today, not only to communicate with you about this matter, but also to ask by the way, do you know the current actions of those gate valve families?"
"I know, most of the first-class candidates this time are not married yet, because a considerable part of them are concubines, second sons, and even collateral members of various families, as well as some merchant families, as well as children of ordinary people. They were themselves the undervalued type before. ”
"After knowing the abilities of these people this time, most of the families are providing them with financial support and marriage." Fang Xuanling nodded and spoke.
"Well, this is their usual routine, although it is said to be a little older, but it doesn't matter if the method is old, it just works well. After all, there are so many women in various families, isn't that what they use to do? So, how many people have been married right now? Did Li Ke have any reaction? Li Shimin nodded and asked curiously.
"It's still in the early stages, and many people have just started to get in touch, and as for His Royal Highness King Qin, there is no reaction." Fang Xuanling hesitated.
"Didn't do anything?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then asked again.
Marriage seems to have no effect, but if it is really after marriage, the impact is still very large, after all, these gate valve families can give these young people what they wanted but couldn't ask for.
"Yes, nothing." Fang Xuanling nodded.
"Doesn't he know?"
"I should know, Zheng Guogong once privately mentioned His Royal Highness once." Fang Xuanling said.
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng.
"Yes, as I said, His Highness's reaction at the time was very strange." Wei Zheng hesitated.
"Oh? What reaction? Li Shimin came to curiosity.
His Highness smiled at the time and said, Isn't this a good thing? Start a family, start a family, start a family, someone help them introduce their wives, and the provincial organization distributes it. Wei Zheng replied with a strange expression.
"Organizational assignment? What is this. Li Shimin was also stunned.
"But let's not talk about this distribution or not, he said this?" Li Shimin redirected his attention to Li Ke's reaction.
"Yes." Wei Zheng nodded affirmatively.
For a while, several people in the room were a little confused, that's all?
