God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 234 Personal Awareness (Second Change)

morning of the second day

Some people may think that the emperor is not tired every day?
But what I want to tell you here is that in the Tang Dynasty, going to court was like clocking in at work. You took a break every ten days.

After all, the time for officials to go to court is quite long, but there is no way, the Tang Dynasty has just started, and there are many things, who will let them be officials?

This is also a faster way for the ruler to know the world's major events.

Li Chengqian is already familiar with the road today, he is still on the dragon chair, listening to the reports of the ministers.

First of all, he said: "Now let's review the content of yesterday's morning court. Regarding the assessment yesterday, did Duke Lai set any rules?"

Only by reporting the results of what happened yesterday can we follow up better.

Du Ruhui came out and said, "His Royal Highness, I have made two plans for the civil and military officials."

"Say!"

"The assessment of civil servants is as follows: first, literary attainments; second, governance ability, we will eliminate the bottom rank, and only evaluate officials below the fourth grade!"

The meaning of his words is that the great hero is safe, and the fourth-rank official is not small.

"Well, these two points can indeed reflect a certain amount of talent! To prevent some people from fishing in troubled waters! Sure!"

Li Chengqian said so, and glanced at Zhang Liang by the way. At this time, he was demoted two levels in a row, which was completely within the scope of the assessment. He still hoped that he would be eliminated.

There are civil servants, but what about military officers?Li Chengqian then asked: "Tell me about the military officer's assessment method!"

"Yes! Military officers have different assessment standards, so I have made some changes. The merits and years of office will be reviewed to see if the official position matches. If it is hand-picked by His Majesty, it will pass the assessment directly. If it is an official promotion, everything will be re-examined. .If you have not passed the examination, all will be judged based on martial arts, and the bottom tenth will be directly demoted to the first level. One more point, this is only the assessment for officials below the fifth rank!"

"I don't think this is enough. It's better to go down to the next level and go directly to the candidates, and then come back to compete after they have improved their martial arts. How about returning to their original posts after that?"

This is simply a drastic reform!Because of the assessment of military generals below the fifth rank, and in the early morning, there are generally no officials below the fifth rank, so there is not much opposition.

"According to His Royal Highness!"

Du Ruhui said.

"What else do you think about the assessment?"

After Li Chengqian said that, it was difficult for everyone to say anything.

Li Chengqian didn't give them too much time, so he said directly:

"Okay! The assessment will start tomorrow, and you are allowed to cram for a while! If you study well, you may pass the assessment!"

The purpose of doing this can make Datang stronger, so that some people who fish in troubled waters have nowhere to hide.

Li Chengqian looked around, some people here didn't dare to look at him.

"The next thing is about the private salt official operation."

When he finished speaking, Pei Ji stood up.

"His Royal Highness, as soon as yesterday's news came out, the entire Chang'an City's salt became very scarce. Now there is no salt to buy in Chang'an City. I suggest that you should slow down now, and you can't suffer the common people!"

Pei Ji's starting point is well chosen, putting the people first, speaking in human terms, he is anxious for the people, which is good, but you can't starve the people and feed the Wang family!That's not okay!

Zhang Liang also came out and said: "Yes, His Royal Highness, salt is the foundation of people's livelihood, because there is no salt, and now the people are complaining, which may cause social turmoil!"

The consequences of the two people's magnification were to make Li Chengqian give up, but their calculations were wrong, and they had no intention of giving up from the beginning.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he felt displeased with them. He thought to himself, I have thought of a way, your intelligence is really weak.

Then said:

"You two lovers, you are really worried about the people. If you don't send you to the bottom, I'm really sorry for your hard work. This king is very happy, you have this awareness! How about this, this king will send you two to go to the lower level. Starting today, go to appease the hearts of the people and make no mistake, if the appeasement is not good, this king will be angry!"

As soon as these words came out, both Pei Ji and Zhang Liang were taken aback.

Pei Ji first said: "His Royal Highness, is this too overkill?"

"I thought to myself that the official origin comes from the people, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with serving the people!"

Someone said:

"His Royal Highness, think twice. Wei Guogong is a key figure in the court. If he is lost, I am afraid that some things will not be easy to do!"

Li Chengqian thought to himself: Without you, Datang would not be able to function as usual! ?Don't take yourself too seriously!You are just a pawn in the entire imperial court and can be replaced at any time!

But Li Shimin was behind the curtain, so he couldn't say that, otherwise he would definitely rush out.

After all, Pei Ji can be regarded as an important minister.

"This king is just thinking, of course, this depends on the individual's awareness!"

What he meant was that Pei Ji's consciousness was not enough, but Pei Ji did not give up.

He said: "His Royal Highness, the old minister feels that regarding the matter of official salt, we need to give Datang some time. What kind of chaos has the folks become? Please ask His Royal Highness to understand the voices of the folks."

"Pei Ji, you say I don't understand the voice of the people?"

Pei Ji said quickly:

"I thought His Highness the Crown Prince was not in a hurry at all, so I felt that you didn't understand!"

"Hmph! Pei Ji, this king knows more than you! You know, as soon as the news came out yesterday, the [-] salt shops in Chang'an City were closed immediately! And these [-] salt shops are all owned by the Wang family. Are you saying that it is because the official salt makes people feel sad, or because the big family of the Wang family deliberately opposed my court?"

Li Chengqian's rhetorical question made everyone dare not say a word, because everyone knew that the Wang family's actions were not the intention of Changsun Wuji.

Pei Ji was also puzzled, why the prince knew everything, could it be that he had leaked the news.

"According to what I said, the Wang family once colluded with some high-ranking officials in this dynasty! This time, they even ordered the Wang family to close the store in private salt official camp! Don't let this king get caught, or prepare to wash your neck!"

When Li Chengqian said this, Pei Ji and the others were even more afraid to speak, and lowered their heads one after another.

He's shoving it all on them, and that's what it seems to be.

And Li Shimin behind the curtain stood up abruptly.

"What! This kind of thing still happens under my Great Tang!"

He was obviously shocked, because this happened under his own rule, which was a dangerous signal.

And Li Chengqian also noticed Li Shimin's change, just sneered, asking you to stop me, to see if I don't make you sad!

Next, Li Shimin came out from behind the curtain with a very displeased face.

Everyone also saw his expression, and next, he was about to get mad.
