Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 56 Merging Provincial Officials (3)

Of course Du Ruhui knew that what Li Chengqian said was polite. In the eyes of the redundant staff of the court, it not only made the court's administrative efficiency low, but also caused a certain burden on the court.

A thing that is often simple turns out to be very complicated in the end. Let's say that the military department that I am in charge of, even if it is governed by military law, there are often evasions and obstacles among members of the department.

Usually it's fine, but once a war breaks out, Du Ruhui can't guarantee that nothing will happen.

"I know that His Majesty's decision is not easy to make, after all, there are thousands of people."

"Master Du, Father would like to know your opinion. In Chengqing Hall today, Cen Wenwen had very good reasons for objecting. Wei Zheng kept silent. They said that Father was hesitant."

Even if Li Chengqian didn't say anything, Du Ruhui could guess very well, what Cen Wenwen was, he was Feng Deyi's disciple, and he was inseparable with members of the aristocratic family.

Besides, he wholeheartedly assisted the King of Shu, and asked him to agree to cut off his relatives and friends, wouldn't that be nonsense.

As for Wei Zheng, let alone, when Crown Prince Yin was there, Wei Zheng had frequent contacts with the Shandong nobles in order to suppress the Prince Qin family. It would be strange to say that there was nothing tricky between them.

"Your Highness, the merging of provincial officials is beneficial to the country, and I think it is imperative, but the abolition of so many officials will definitely cause shocks in the government and the public. If you are not careful, there may be chaos.

Can those family officials with malicious intentions give in so easily? "

Du Ruhui's worry was not unreasonable. Although he often stayed home when he was sick, there was nothing the Ministry of War could hide from him.

Take the last time Li Chengqian presided over the disaster relief as an example, there was no change in the army, it was just that Du Ruhui was supporting his body and doing it in the lobby of the Ministry of War every day, and those who thought carefully had some scruples.

Li Chengqian immediately said: "That's right, that's why we can't beat people to death with a single stick. If we cut off people's thoughts, we only need to fight with each other.".
The officials have more or less heard about the provincial officials, and the annual official assessment is coming again. It seems that this assessment is the key to determine whether they can continue to stand on the throne and participate in politics.

But no one would have guessed that Changsun Wuji was the first official to be dismissed from office.

In the Chengqing Palace, Xiao Yu's face was dark and impeachable, and Zouben asked Li Shimin persistently: "Your Majesty, if there is no support from Changsun Wuji, how would his eldest grandson Shunde dare to accept bribes from thieves.

What was stolen today was the treasures of the palace, so tomorrow, isn't Your Majesty afraid that the old things of the Lu family and the Dou family will repeat themselves in my Tang Dynasty? "

It turned out that when the grandson Shunde was supervising the servants, he discovered that the palace ladies and eunuchs had jointly stolen the treasures in the palace. According to the law, these servants should be beheaded as a public display.

But Changsun Shunde accepted some silk and gold and silver as bribes from these people, so he suppressed the matter and let these people go.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, he let someone go and didn't control his own mouth, and even stabbed at Yushitai, so Xiao Yu was caught.

The year before last, Fang Xuanling and Li Jing pulled him out of the phase, and let Changsun Wuji and the others, who are latecomers, stir up trouble in the court. How could this old man who obeyed the Confucian etiquette swallow this breath.

Changsun Wuji looked at Xiao Yu with a livid face, there was nothing he could do about this old man. Who would let him make sense? If you want to blame, you can blame your uncle. Wouldn’t it be good to be your General Zuo Xiaowei? Is it short of that little money? It's not embarrassing enough.

Ever since I became a servant, I have been cautious because I am afraid that people will say that I am Lu Dou and others. I don't know that after the embarrassing incident of Changsun Shunde, he quickly brought this useless uncle to plead guilty, and now he is still kneeling outside.

Look at it like this, if the emperor doesn't give Xiao Yu an explanation today, then tomorrow the old man will dare to hang himself in front of Shuntian Gate with the officials of Yushitai.

And Li Chengqian, who was sitting under the emperor, scratched his head even more. The old man was giving the emperor face by admonishing alone. If you were replaced by Wei Zheng, you must be admonishing Li Shimin in front of all the officials in the Taiji Palace. It would be even more ugly at that time up.

"Father, the eldest grandson Shunde impeached by Song Guogong, how can he have anything to do with his uncle, besides, didn't he bring people to voluntarily surrender to the case, and no one was killed. It would be embarrassing for the royal family if Zhang Yang went out. "

Li Chengqian's words completely angered the old man. In his opinion, the prince Li Chengqian is good at everything, but he doesn't obey the rules, and he favors his mother clan too much.

In fact, Xiao Yu really wronged Li Chengqian. Everyone knows that the eldest grandson Wuji brother and sister have been raised by their uncle Shen Guogong Gao Shilian since the death of their father.

And the relationship with the eldest grandson's family is not very good. Take the eldest grandson Anye and the eldest grandson Shunde for example. If Li Shimin hadn't become emperor, their relationship would not have eased.

Xiao Yu: "His Royal Highness, are you perverting the law for personal gain by speaking for your mother's clan? This is not in line with the concept of ruling the country according to the law that His Highness put forward in the past.

As the crown prince, His Highness is so unruly, how can he convince the officials in the long run?
According to the old official, it is because Changsun Wuji did not teach His Highness well, even if there is no matter about Changsun Shunde, the old official will join him sooner or later. "

"You", Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji made Xiao Yu choke. This courtier assisting the confident and dignified prince is something that everyone in the past dynasties knew, but this old man said it out loudly. How could this be possible? Make people not embarrassing.

To be honest, Xiao Yu did have the capital of arrogance. Although he chose Li Tai, Li Chengqian had to admit that the old man had a talent for managing the country, and he was honest and upright throughout his life.

Yang Guang is a tyrant, Xiao Yu dares to stroke his beard, let alone Li Chengqian, a little prince.Even Yang Guang can't do anything about him, so what can Li Chengqian do.

Li Shimin was unhappy seeing his son being angered by Xiao Yu, so he had to say: "Shiwen, although you are my relative and even my cousin, you can't be so rude to the prince."

If ordinary ministers saw the emperor getting angry, they would retreat in desperation, but the old man Xiao didn't care, and said with a straight neck: "The old minister is trying to rectify the behavior of the prince, and besides, Changsun Shunde can accept the palace stolen by thieves today." treasure,

Then, will he be led to robbers because of money tomorrow? Without the support of Prime Minister Changsun Wuji, would he dare to be so arrogant and domineering. "

Alas, Li Shimin sighed: "Shunde is a foreign relative, and his achievements are meritorious. He is a high-ranking noble, which is enough to be called rich. If you can study the past and present diligently, learn from yourself, and benefit our country, I will be in the same position as him." Fukuer. Why don't you follow the rules of the name, but be greedy and make a fuss!"

Tai Chi Palace the next day

Changsun Wuji went out to plead guilty, saying that as a foreign relative, he could not teach his people to be loyal to the king, and let them do such a wrong thing, it is really not good for a country's prime minister.

Asked to resign from the post of Shangshu Pushe, the emperor repeatedly asked to stay, but Changsun Wuji still insisted on not accepting it, and finally Li Shimin had to agree to his request.
