A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 60
The two old men from Shangyao Bureau, Fengyu, arrived, took the prescription, and looked at it carefully for a long time. The prescription was written in great detail, and basically gave away the secret recipe. The two old men with white beards studied it for a while, and sighed He said to Li Shimin: "Your Highness, the Kong Sheng Pillow Pill prescribed by the Heavenly King's Buxin Dan and the ministers both have the functions of nourishing the heart and kidney, nourishing yin and calming the nerves, and can cure insomnia and forgetfulness.

This Tianwang Buxin Pill is better at nourishing yin and clearing away heat, and mainly treats the heart, so it is mainly used to treat mental disturbance caused by yin deficiency and internal heat. If you don’t hand it in, you will feel uneasy, but the power of Qingxu Huo is inferior to that of Tianwang Buxin Pill.”

"You just say that in the current situation, which one is more suitable?"

The two old men looked at each other, but in the end they had no choice but to say truthfully, "Heavenly King Buxin Pill is more suitable, but it can't be taken for a long time, otherwise it will hurt the body."

Li Shimin was a little surprised when he heard the result. "Didn't you say that Kong Sheng's Pillow Pill was obtained from the prescription of Medicine King Sun's divine doctor?"

"It's indeed from Miracle Doctor Sun's prescription, but Miracle Doctor Sun's prescription is indeed not as suitable for His Highness's illness as the ancient prescription of Senior Xiaoyaozi. The prescriptions are all good, but each has its own emphasis. The ministers are incompetent, and they didn't know it before." There is still such a good prescription in the world that is more suitable for His Highness's disease." Among the two old men, one of them had discussed medical skills with Sun Simiao face to face, and he is also the chief physician of the Shangyao Bureau.

But in front of the prince, he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

"Then prepare the imperial medicine according to this recipe and submit it."

The old man wants to take the prescription to make medicine, but Li Shimin refuses to give it to him, "You just copy a copy here, and you must keep the original prescription alone. Also, this prescription was passed on to Wu Erlang by Xiaoyaozi. You can't learn it privately. Not to be leaked."

"I dare not wait." The two old men were terrified.

Li Shimin was in a complicated mood. The last time Wu Erlang visited Wu Erlang privately on Weifu, he gave him a prescription for curing qi diseases. He took it back and tested it, and it was indeed a very good prescription.

Looking at the portrait again, it is lifelike, like the twins of God of War.

"Invite these two door gods to the gate of the palace, and paste the talisman seals!"

"Your Highness, I will continue to guard here tonight." Qin Qiong said.

But Li Shimin said, "No, you are still guarding here tonight. How can you reflect the merits of the portrait? You should go home and rest tonight. It has really worked hard for you these days. We still have to deal with military affairs. This portrait guarding the gate of the palace is still borrowing your power, and it is the work of the two of you."

Li Shimin waved his hands and spoke his will, rewarding each of Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong with a pair of silver vases, gold and silver Kaiyuan coins to fill the silver vases, and each with imperial armor, a set of horse lances, whips and maces, and two imperial horses.

"How should that Wu Erlang be rewarded?" Li Shimin looked at the beautiful prescription and asked with a smile while stroking his tendrils.

Qin Qiong took the opportunity to ask: "Your Highness, please give Wu Huaiyu a parentage!"

"Shubao, what background do you think should be given to him?"

Qin Qiong bowed his head and thought for a while, "It's better to give him the title of Inner Palace Yiwei."

Grandson of the fourth rank, fifth rank and son of Shangzhu Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty, Bu Yiwei is the top of the eighth rank.

Li Shimin shook his head.

"Wu Huaiyu's ability, how a mere inner-government Yiwei shows the court's love for talents, I have been thinking about how to reuse this rural talent these days," Li Shimin pondered for a long time, Wu Huaiyu is good at medicine, and was originally arranged to go to the Imperial Medical Office Or the Shangyao Bureau and the Yaozang Bureau are very suitable, but they are just technical officers and have no future.

"Gute entrusts Wu Huaiyu as the right guard of the prince to lead the army to join the army, and how about being a general of the ninth rank?"

Joining the army is also called joining the army. Many yamen such as the governor's mansion have the post of joining the army. Compared with the recorder who is in charge of supervision and joining the army, it is different from the army joining the army who divides and judges. There is no fixed job for joining the army. Shou, if you have something to do, you will be dispatched randomly.

It is also the starting position of many officials.

Youwei led the mansion is one of the East Palace led by Cheng Yaojin.

Li Shimin is now the crown prince, and putting Wu Huaiyu in the East Palace also shows his closeness, and entrusting him to join the army is even more of an inspection test. If he has outstanding ability, Wu Huaiyu will naturally be reused when he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor.

At the same time, Wu Huaiyu, who has no foundation, was placed under Cheng Yaojin's command, and he also had personal care, so that this young talent would not be bullied or even die young.

The crown prince Youwei from the ninth rank led the mansion to join the army, which is actually much better than the right guard Yiwei from the eighth rank. Yiwei from the eighth rank may have to wait five or eight years before he can get a real job. It is considered to be an official official, otherwise you can only work in Sanweili all the time, if you are far away from Beijing, you can even pay for substitute classes every year and accumulate seniority with money.

From the ninth rank, the crown prince Youwei led the government to join the army, which is already a real job for a formal official.

Jiang Shilang is the lowest level of Wensan official, from the ninth rank.

Sanjie is this product,
The ranks are awarded first, and the salaries of officials are received according to their merits.

Datang is slowly getting on the right track, and there are not so many vacancies in positions. Now many officials who have obtained scattered ranks cannot get real positions immediately, and they are also assigned by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs to do some errands, or do some copying and sorting Waiting for chores, you have to accumulate seniority before you can get the opportunity to be elected as an official and get a real job.

Even after serving a full term of real positions, they have to continue to be elected, and cannot be conferred consecutively. To put it bluntly, there are too many monks and too few officials, so there is such a rule of rotation and nomination.

Only those officials who are particularly capable or well-connected may not need to be elected. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, some officials even had to wait for more than ten years before they could get another real job vacancy.

The prince's direct appointment was originally a special appointment that only the emperor had the right to, but now that Li Shimin is in power, he can also give a special appointment.

Just now Qin Qiong recommended it, but Li Shimin didn't accept it, and directly granted it.

In fact, there are still many ways to become an official in the Tang Dynasty, such as door shade, recommendation, imperial examination, enlistment, military merit, and special grants. Of course, Li Shimin's special grants are not oblique appointments.

Because there are still formal procedures to be followed, even though it is only the ninth grade, the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Sun Wuji, still needs to send officials from the Ministry of Officials to inspect Wu Huaiyu's family background, etc., because it is specially awarded by the prince, so there is no need to take another exam.

The Ministry of Officials must examine Huaiyu county and township names, fathers and ancestors' official names, internal and external marriages, age and shape, etc. in accordance with the procedures.

Normally, officials below the fifth rank are selected and appointed by the Ministry of Officials, while officials of the fourth and fifth ranks are usually recommended by the Ministry of Officials and appointed by the prime ministers of the three provinces.

Rank three and above, the prime minister recommends, and the emperor personally appoints and dismisses.

It is quite rare for a child to be awarded the ninth grade by the emperor, and there are only a few cases every year, which shows that Li Shimin attaches great importance to Wu Huaiyu. , it will be difficult to become a political officer again, and the future is limited.

"Wu Huaiyu is just outside the palace. Do you want to call him to meet Xie En?" Qin Qiong was happy for Wu Huaiyu. This step is a hurdle that many people can't get over in their lifetime. Today Wu Huaiyu came directly.

This is still a special appointment by the prince, which shows that the future has a bright future.

Li Shimin smiled, "Forget it, next time." He is not willing to see Wu Huaiyu right now, because he thinks this kid is very interesting and mysterious. On that day, he made a private visit in secret, and he told himself a lot, which made Li Shimin He was very enlightened, and he was worried that after seeing him, this kid might take into account his identity in the future, and it would be difficult to say some things bluntly.

He still wanted to have the opportunity to listen to the kid's true heart, not the modified words.

"You don't want to tell this kid the good news for the time being. You can tell him officially after the auxiliary machine department is done."

Li Shimin also specifically told Cheng Yaojin that he must take good care of this kid when he becomes the right guard in the future.

Qin Qiong waited for Xie En to withdraw, and seeing Huaiyu, he only said that the prince greatly appreciated his loyalty, and handed over a silver belt that the prince rewarded him, which can only be used from seventh to ninth grade, and gave him another Refined iron ring head horizontal knife, produced by the royal arsenal, very extraordinary.

As soon as Cheng Yaojin met, he held Huaiyu's hand kindly and smiled all over his face. Huaiyu who smiled was a little creepy, and always felt that old Cheng had malicious intentions today.

"Uncle Cheng, I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment with Renxishi to go shopping. Today, I promised my elder brother that I would go back to Sanyuan's house. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first. I'll visit the mansion when I get back to Chang'an."

He quickly broke away and ran away.

"Boy, why are you running? I still have something to tell you. Several daughters in my family have reached the age of marriage. You boy and I will go back and have a look. You can choose one, and you can get engaged right away. I don't want you. Pingli, I will give millions of dowry back, hey, what are you doing..."

Hearing what he said, Wu Huaiyu ran faster, not because he disliked Old Cheng, but because Old Cheng and Mr. Xiong Daxiong were like Xiong Daxiong Er. It is estimated that his daughters may all be sturdy and strong, not to mention that he is now in his heart. It is full of Fan Xuanfu, how can you transfer your love so quickly!

Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, the two newly promoted door gods, stood in front of the palace gate and laughed. Old Cheng was very angry, and looked at Huaiyu who was running away and shouted unwillingly, "If you can't run away from my palm, I'll slap you!" If you don't believe me, the son-in-law that Lao Cheng has a crush on, can still run away, if you catch me, I will take you back!"

Qin Qiong stepped forward to comfort her, "Yizhen, I'll have a good talk with this baby for you later, don't scare people."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
