In fact, Gao Shilian asked Li Tai to fight for the position of secretary and supervisor, and there is another reason that is difficult to explain.

That is, the chips in Li Tai's hands may not be enough to exchange him for the position of secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Don't look at Li Tai is still favored now, but his power above the court is the youngest of the three brothers.

This position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is related to Li Zhi's control over the two departments of the general supervisor and the young government supervisor.

Whether it is Li Tai or the crown prince Li Chengqian, if they want to get this position, they need both sides to jointly confront Li Zhi.

And if Li Tai wants to get this position, he must give Li Chengqian corresponding benefits in exchange for his support.

It's just that Li Tai didn't have such a big benefit in his hands.

Gao Shilian didn't have it in his hands, but he didn't want to offend Li Zhi for this matter psychologically.

The main thing is that in addition to this factor, this matter also requires the cooperation of the emperor.

Only if the emperor wanted to control Li Zhi's power from the bottom of his heart, the two of them could hope to fight.

Otherwise, even if Duan Lun Zhishi, the vacancy he left behind would inevitably be filled by the personnel of Li Zhi's faction.

Judging from the current situation, the emperor obviously does not intend to suppress Li Zhi, and this matter is more difficult to operate.

On the other hand, the position of secretary and supervisor is very delicate.

First of all, the job here is only to take charge of the state books, record and compile historical records.

This shows that the status and presence of this department have not been high, and it belongs to the typical Qingshui Yamen.

And hidden under all this is that the secretary and supervisor belong to the emperor's direct department, and no one else will interfere at all.

Whoever can sit in the position of secretary and supervisor must first be recognized by the emperor in literature.

Therefore, most of them were directly appointed by the emperor.

Because of this, the emperor often habitually discusses with the secretary and supervisor first, which is quite a bit of a confidant and mutual encouragement.

Once Li Tai sits on this seat, he can quickly find out the emperor's habits.

So as to be more able to obtain the emperor's approval when dealing with government affairs.

Li Tai's literary attainments are not low, and he often discussed literature with the emperor before.

Now he has a high probability of success if he actively seeks this position.

Therefore, in Gao Shilian's view, this position is the most cost-effective for Li Tai.

"Father, the son went to visit Lord Yu Shinan in the morning, and now his health is getting worse, I'm afraid time is running out."

After Li Tai got Gao Shilian's order, he began to act the next day.

He first went to Yu Shinan's house to visit him and confirm that this matter could indeed be operated.

Subsequently, he took the opportunity to discuss politics with Li Shimin in the afternoon and mentioned the matter to him.

After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Shimin sighed and said, "My father has also asked Doctor Sun and others about Boshi's condition many times.

However, the main cause of this is old age and physical decline, which cannot be reversed by manpower.

I'm afraid I'm going to lose a confidant soon! ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Tai spoke: "Father, there is no need to be too sad.

Erchen and Lord Yu had a lot of exchanges in literature, and they also agreed with his thoughts.

In the future, if the father wants to exchange literature, even if he is not talented, he can also accompany him. ”

After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Shimin said with a smile: "Wu'er has a heart."

It's a pity that you are still young, and I am afraid that some things are still not clear! ”

"It is precisely because of this that he wants to learn more from his father's side."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed slightly after listening to Li Tai's words.

At this time, he was already vaguely aware of Li Tai's purpose for taking the initiative to talk about Yu Shinan.

But at this time, he was a little hesitant in his heart.

Of course, he and Yu Shinan often talked about literature and politics, but they talked more about calligraphy than about calligraphy.

Li Tai's calligraphy is certainly comparable to everyone, but in Li Shimin's eyes, it still seems to be a little worse.

Moreover, Li Shimin happened to talk to Fang Xuanling and others about this issue a few days ago.

He liked Fang Xuanling's recommended living room Chu Suiliang very much.

First of all, Chu Suiliang was a student of Yu Shinan, and he also studied calligraphy with Ouyang Xun, a bachelor of Hongwenguan and a calligrapher.

Therefore, his calligraphy can be said to be the best of both worlds.

In addition, Chu Suiliang's knowledge and character are good, and his work experience is sufficient.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin wanted to open his mouth to reject Li Tai's idea.

But when he saw Li Tai's expectant eyes, he changed his mind.

He suddenly thought of something else.

That is, the princes of today have gradually grown up.

Among them, the third son Li Ke and the fifth son Li You have been sent to the fiefdom by him.

Among the adult princes now, there are still Li Tai, Li Su and the slightly younger Li Yun who are still in Chang'an for the time being.

Among them, Li Su is now the president of the Tang Academy of Sciences, and he definitely can't leave Chang'an.

And Li Yun's whereabouts Li Shimin has already thought about for him, and he will be appointed governor of Anzhou after only a while.

Li Shimin was a little reluctant to let Li Tai go to the fiefdom.

But he did not find a suitable position for Li Tai to keep him before.

So at this last moment, Li Shimin suddenly changed his words and said: "Your literary attainments are still too low.

From now on, I will stay in the secretary and take care of the books for my father! ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Tai said happily: "Thank you for your father's trust.

In the future, the son will take care of the Hongwen Pavilion in an orderly manner and live up to his father's expectations. ”

After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's the best." ”

After the father and son talked, the position that Li Tai was looking forward to was decided.

"Bosch has been seriously ill for many days, and the work of the secretary and supervisor must not be left in waste.

I have decided to appoint Li Tai, the king of Wei, as the temporary secretary and supervisor, I wonder if you have any opinions? ”

Two days later, at the court meeting, Li Shimin asked the ministers in public.

After his words fell, Fang Xuanling and the others all spoke up to support, and Li Chengqian and Li Zhi did not object.

Regarding this matter, Li Shimin had already discussed it with Fang Xuanling and others before.

And since the high-level officials have already agreed on their opinions, it is natural that other ministers will not speak out against it.

So Li Tai's first practical job was implemented so easily.

Then Li Shimin spoke again: "Living Lang Chu Suiliang." ”

"The minister is here." Chu Suiliang took a step forward and bowed.

"Aiqing is not only loyal to her duties and well-versed in history, but also knows the truth, and I have always learned a lot from talking to you.

From today, I will be reappointed as a secretary, and I hope that Aiqing can continue to encourage me in the future. ”

After Li Shimin's words were finished, Chu Suiliang hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

The other ministers did not show any extra performance except for envying Chu Suiliang's treatment in their hearts.

Only a few people such as Fang Xuanling know some inside information about this matter.

Although several people felt pity that Chu Suiliang could not be promoted to secretary and supervisor.

But since it was Li Tai who snatched this position, everyone couldn't say anything more.
