Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 341

In Hongwen Palace, Cen Wenwen introduced to Li Chengqian and the officials the flood situation in Shandong, Henan, Huainan and other places.

The houses and farmland of the people in the countryside were flooded, and the people had to rush to the surrounding counties, which not only increased the pressure on local security, but also caused the price of food to rise crazily.

There are profiteers all the time, but the disaster-stricken places are not only caused by profiteers, but more importantly, many government granaries have also been reimbursed in the water.

"Your Highness, I think that a batch of food should be urgently allocated from Shannan East Road, Hedong Road, and Jiangnan West Road, and then the court can raise some to deal with it." After saying the last sentence, Cen Wenwen said to Li Chengqian After a ceremony, he sat back.

"Your Highness, I have just calculated with the auxiliary machine just now. Since the expenses for the Western Expedition do not need to be transferred from the imperial court, the imperial court still has the ability to extinguish the famine in various places. It's just who will act as the special envoys in these places. Please tell your Highness Down."

Fang Xuanling is obviously more relaxed than Cen Wenwen. He has just read the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts. According to the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it should not be a big problem if he does his best to rescue the disaster. Of course, the premise is that the prince must choose the corresponding imperial envoy. make.

After glancing at the ministers in the hall, Li Chengqian pondered for a long time. It's not that he hadn't thought about sending important ministers such as Changsun Wuji to go, but the court is currently in troubled times, and many court affairs cannot be separated from them.

The rest of these people either belong to different factions, have different political goals, or have no courage to offend people, or have little experience in local political affairs.It seems that it is time to reuse some newcomers. Their foundations are clean and they don't have so many worries. Let's slowly wash away the sand.

"The censor Ma Zhou served as the inspector of Huainan Road, the governor of Huazhou Dou Kuan served as the inspector of Henan Province, and the left servant Wang Zhi of the Ministry of Clean Government served as the governor of Luoyang, Shandong, Henan, Huainan and other places.

Cen Zhongshu, draw up an edict immediately, and let the three of them be in place as soon as possible.As for the specific disaster relief matters of the imperial court, there are Prime Minister Fang, Uncle, and Prime Minister Wei who are in charge of coordinating."

The people selected by Li Chengqian are all working at the grassroots level. They have been in politics for many years in the prefectural and county governments, and they have rich experience. , and more importantly, Li Chengqian knows them well and knows that they are all good officials who are practical and practical.

"Your Highness, isn't their promotion speed too fast? This is not in line with the court's regulations. The court and China are more senior than them, and they are older. The matter this time is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. The old minister thinks it is still another It is better to choose capable officials"

Grasping the loophole in the prince's words, Wang Gui hunched over and offered advice to Li Chengqian. Since he was transferred back to the capital from another state, he has not made any achievements. He thought it would be his turn this time.

But what he didn't expect was that the prince would rather use those young brats than them, the veterans of the two dynasties, how could he sit still!
What's the matter, this Wang Gui is too ignorant. What happened to Concubine Wei last time was because of the advice of him and several aristocratic families, so that I was beaten by the emperor. Come out to salvage a fortune, this is really unbearable for my uncle, but unbearable for my aunt.

Therefore, Li Chengqian gave the old man a hard look, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Qing, if you are ambitious, it's not the first time for anyone. It's the first time for Gu to be a prince. According to what you say, shouldn't you let me be a prince?" Give it to someone of high esteem."

"Gu told the ministers that Gu employing people has always been eclectic. As long as he has the ability to contribute to the court and share the worries of His Majesty, Gu will promote them without exception, no matter who their disciples or old officials are.

If any of you feel that you are too small to be an official, you can give me a book, and Gudu can give you this opportunity. It is not a problem even to sit in the Hongwen Palace to manage politics, the premise is that you want to ask yourself if you can do it in your heart. "

After finishing speaking, I explained a few words to Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji and then walked away. I can't do anything for the court by myself, and I don't want others to do it. What the hell is this? This is my official in Tang Dynasty ?I bother! ! !

Tang Jian is an old fox and an old hooligan. In Li Chengqian's view, he is a person who has never had a lower limit. Just what happened to Wu Heikai last time, what he has done to others.

Among the notebooks submitted by Lawyer Pei, one was a memorial to the dismissal of a county magistrate. Seeing this notebook, let Zai once see Tang Jian's shamelessness. He himself does not want to offend anyone, let alone be scolded. , So I sent lawyer Pei, the secretary of the Ministry of officials, so that he could go and hide for a while.

It turns out that this is Yan Shi, the wife of Ruan Song, the county magistrate of Jingzhou and Guiyang, who is very jealous.Ruan Song drank with guests outside and asked a few prostitutes to sing and amuse them.After Yan Shi heard about it, she looked for it with a knife.When the guests saw it, they ran away completely, Ruan Song hid under the bed, and the prostitutes ran away.

Cui Miao, governor of Jingzhou, heard about it, and wrote a comment on Ruan Song's performance appraisal: "The wife is strong, but the husband is weak. Even the mother-in-law can't manage well. How can I manage the people in a county? The wife is so rude, and the husband's Where is the talent?", so I wrote a low-level comment.The official department commented after seeing it, so they wrote a prose, and prepared to dismiss other officials after the prince's approval.

"Pei Langzhong, I ask you alone, how is Prime Minister Pei?"

Ah, Lawyer Pei didn't expect the crown prince to ask his father first. Now that he is not in the age of Wude, no one will buy his face as the prime minister's son.Otherwise, why have other people's officials become bigger and bigger, but I have been standing still for so many years.

I have long heard that the prince misses the old days, and today it seems to be the case, so he said excitedly: "Thanks to your majesty and your grace, my father is in good health, he can eat a catty of meat and three bowls of rice for one meal, and he will go out when he is free." Go around and play chess with your old friends."

Hey, with a long sigh, Li Chengqian looked at him sympathetically, saying that Lao Tzu is a hero, how can someone as shrewd as Pei Ji give birth to such a stupid son.If you are stupid, you are stupid. You say you are fine at home, so you can teach me a little bit. This is all right, let Tang Jian take advantage of it.

Yes, dismissing a county magistrate is a trivial matter, but if Cui Miao's reason is used to punish him, wouldn't that be slapping Fang Xuanling's face again?Who doesn't know that Mrs. Fang is the number one shrew among women in the Tang Dynasty. If this is the case, will Fang Xuanling's official be dismissed?

Besides, there are too many officials in the court. The officials in the imperial court who are married to the family, that is not the case.

"I ask you, is this Ruan Song corrupt?"

"No."

"Have you broken the law?"

"Go back to Your Highness, no."

"Have you oppressed the people? How is your political performance?"

Although he didn't understand what the crown prince meant, Lawyer Pei replied honestly: "His Royal Highness, Ruan Song has been average in the previous assessments. He didn't have any great achievements or mistakes. He can be regarded as a man who understands the rules."

"Since Ruan Song didn't take bribes and pervert the law, he didn't have any fish and meat, and he was hardworking in his daily work, why should he treat him as an official? Cui Miao is the governor of Jingzhou. He is in charge of political affairs, not his inner court.

After you go back, tell Tang Shangshu to ask the Ministry of Officials to issue a letter of reprimand to Cui Miao.Tell him that if he gets tired of being a big official in the frontier, he can find him a position in the Jiaofang Division.What's wrong, I'm full and I'm holding on! "
