Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 682 Seeing Double Spring Again
Li Shimin likes to hear the famous emperor through the ages, and he said that when he was in the Qin Palace, there were no eunuchs or maids.I haven't been here for so many years, it seems that there is no difference.

Yao Silian saw that Li Shimin was thinking, and immediately turned to Liu Mu: "Liu Concubine, how do you deal with the affairs in the palace?"

"Establish the Chang'an Household Economics Department, run by the government. Responsible for all the nobles' banquets, singing and dancing, cleaning, gardens, etc. in Chang'an City. I guarantee that it will be better and more perfect than if you have maids and servants in your home."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he pulled out another scroll from his sleeve: "I have a watch, I invite you to set up the Datang Cabinet, as well as the Datang Documentary Department and the Datang Aristocratic Security Department."

Li Shimin didn't move, Yao Silian took the scroll.

The Datang Noble Security Department, in fact, took back the occupational fields from the household department and turned them into money distribution.A new department established by the former Six Ministers of the Imperial Palace as the main body.

The task of these people is to be responsible for purchasing and ordering.Up to the imperial palace, down to everything that a ninth-rank official needs.

Official uniforms are uniformly customized, and the gardens, halls, dresses, etc. of each prefecture are governed by the rules of the Ministry of Rites.

It even includes weddings and weddings, maternity protection and so on.

"My minister supports..." Fang Xuanling was the first to jump out, this matter is a great thing for him.Because Fang Xuanling's wife is very powerful, there are almost no servants and maidservants in Fang Xuanling's family.

The courtiers discussed this matter in private, but it was barely acceptable.

And then the second one, the Clerical Division.In fact, it is a department that completely replaces the existence of eunuchs. The palace is strictly divided into office areas and living areas. The emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty needs to work in the dedicated office area in front.

All the bookcases here are code-locked, and then the Minister of Shangshu selects reliable young scholars to be responsible for the work of the office.Similar to the secretariat of later generations, plus an assistant office.Things like serving tea and pouring water must naturally be arranged by the clerical department. Liu Mu didn't mention what kind of person to arrange.

"I think it's a great kindness." Xiao Yu and other important officials immediately expressed their support.

Depriving all the powers of the eunuchs is a great thing for the Tang Dynasty and for the civil and military officials.

As for things like serving tea and pouring water, there are countless poor students who want to do it even if they break the threshold. This can be done by those who have just entered the clerical department, and those who have been doing it for a long time can be sent as officials.

The premise is to be reliable.

Li Shimin also said yes, because when he was the king of Qin before, Fang and Du took people to do these words, except for serving tea and water.

In the palace, the eunuchs are not good enough, even if they can't read well enough.

The last one, everyone was silent after reading it, and no one dared to speak.

cabinet.

In Liu Mu's explanation, this word means that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the emperor, the emperor sets the rules, and the cabinet implements them according to the rules, and is responsible for managing the affairs of the Tang Dynasty at all levels.

This is a good thing.The efficiency will be higher, but the power of the Emperor Tang seems to have been taken away by the cabinet.

So none of the ministers spoke.

While the ministers were waiting for Liu Mu to speak, Liu Mu pulled out another document from another sleeve: "Saint, I have a few new rules. This will be severely punished.”

Li Shimin's face darkened in an instant, and he stretched out his hand to grab Liu Mu's collar: "You want to say, like those in the Southern Dynasty, what should be done according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

Everyone came to their senses, what Liu Mu said was plain, as an emperor, don't attack the court ladies.If you want to start, you have to follow the rules. Even if you want to take concubines, you must have a quantity and a contract.Don't just act when you see it, the law of the Tang Dynasty is in charge of this matter.

Liu Mu was not afraid at all, and even smiled: "Sage, Suga Ezo of Wa Island dreamed to send you a ship full of the daughter of the Wa royal family, his niece, and so on, as well as the Funan prince. , he also has this plan. Do you want it?"

Do you want a sentence?

Li Shimin laughed out loud.

Liu Mu certainly cannot persuade Li Yuan with these words, but he can persuade Li Shimin.

Because Liu Mu told Li Shimin the history of the demise of the dynasties in the next 1000 years, it can be said that the reasons for the decline of the dynasties can be summed up, nothing more than the struggle for the throne, eunuchs in power, civil servants greedy for money, and military officials afraid of death.

Among them, the most dangerous ones, the top three are eunuchs in power, rich officials and poor countries, and emperors who are licentious.

Suddenly, Li Shimin picked up a candlestick, and Liu Mu turned and ran away.

"Stop, second brother is going to beat you, your face is full of peach blossoms..."

"Saint, you are an emperor, it's not good to spread the word about beating a courtier with your own hands..."

Li Shimin pursues, but Liumu flees.

Li Yuan laughed secretly, afraid that this was something that the two of them had discussed, and this was a typical double reel.If Li Shimin lets go of some of his power, it is probably beyond the comprehension of ordinary people to want to do so.

If the courtiers want to form a cabinet, they must make concessions on certain conditions.

Sure enough, after Li Shimin chased Liu Mu and ran around the side hall, all the courtiers stabbed up to block Li Shimin, and then Yao Silian stepped forward to remonstrate: "Saint, you are wrong. Liu Concubine is for state affairs, you can't beat him. Although His ideas on harem affairs are not comprehensive enough, but this can be discussed, and people cannot be beaten."

"Okay, okay." Li Shimin pointed at Liu Mu angrily: "Whatever watch do you have, take it out once."

"Also, I asked the emperor to give the dog a name. What I mean is that according to the genealogy of the Liu family, this generation is the Zongzi generation, so it is called Liu Zongcheng. It is definitely not Liu Lin."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, why would he say this again.

Li Yuan yelled: "No, I said it's Liu Lin, so I can only call it Liu Lin."

"Father, this matter is inappropriate. My name is Liu Mu and my son's name is Liu Lin. This is weird."

As long as Li Shimin stopped beating willows, he would do whatever he wanted. This was the first time that an emperor above the court beat his courtiers.Under the persuasion of all the courtiers back and forth, Li Yuan finally reluctantly backed down a step.Liumu's son is called Liulin, the son of Qilin.When crowned in the future, the word Zongcheng.

Under the persuasion of Xiao, Fang, Yao and others, Li Shimin sat back on the throne.

"I think the cabinet matter can be discussed. But I have a doubt. This clerical department can be said to be a ladder for officials in the Tang Dynasty. What if it is nepotism?"

The matter of the cabinet was discussed in private by Xiao Yu and others just now.

At this time, Yao Silian stepped forward: "Sage, the imperial examination was established in the former Sui Dynasty, and the minister thought it could be used by the Tang Dynasty. In a word, I was selected based on my ability. How to use the imperial examination, the Ministry of Rites will come up with a detailed plan within three months." for discussion."

"So, who are the candidates for the cabinet?" Li Shimin asked again.

"The people in this room are suitable." Yao Silian felt that these people were the ones who discussed state affairs every time, so it was quite appropriate to have these people in the cabinet, and only needed to add a few more military officers.
