God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 791 Zheng Liwan's Talent
Li Shimin spoke.

"Very well. Recently, I have been troubled by corrupt officials and the selection of talents. Although the excellent imperial examinations have played a role, the selection of some talents still bothers me. You can use these two points to explain Tell me."

In fact, Li Chengqian wanted to talk about these things a long time ago.

But because I have been dealing with other things, I fell behind.

The face-saving Li Shimin didn't ask him to talk about it, and he wasn't to blame for that, Li Shimin himself didn't ask.

Finally, it can't be solved today, so I want to ask Zheng Liwan what he thinks.

Zheng Liwan paused for a while.

The talent Li Shimin said was somewhat different from what she thought.

It seems to be deliberately making things difficult.

But when it comes to political affairs, Zheng Liwan is not weak either, this is also a kind of talent, that is, political talent.

But this kind of matter about the country should not be talked about indiscriminately, otherwise it will be decapitated.

So Zheng Liwan didn't respond directly, she seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, and Li Chengqian was about to resolve her concerns.

Empress Changsun said before him: "Zheng Liwan, you can just tell me what you think. It's okay. Your Majesty is a wise king. If you say something wrong, you won't be blamed."

If this is the case, it can dispel her worries, otherwise, who are you when you talk about state affairs in front of the current emperor?

When Empress Changsun said this, she seemed to understand what Zheng Liwan was thinking.

Li Chengqian also said: "Yes, Your Majesty is a wise king, he understands and listens, and if there are mistakes, His Majesty will also specify, you can just tell us your opinion."

Zheng Liwan was relieved now, and she saluted first.

"Your Majesty, my daughter is wrong, and I hope you will forgive me."

Li Shimin is very satisfied with Zheng Liwan's performance.

"Hahaha, just say it! Listen! You will be rewarded if you speak well, and it doesn't matter if you speak badly."

The words about Zheng Liwan are very pleasant to hear.

Then Zheng Liwan opened her mouth and said:
"For corrupt officials, a continuous sitting system is adopted. Once a corrupt official is discovered, all his illegal gains will be charged to the national treasury first! If the briber is bribed, then the amount of the bribe will be fined. His superiors and officials who have recommended him will be punished. The official career of the descendants will also be affected. In this way, I am afraid that no one is willing to gamble with the future of himself and his descendants!"

"Hmm. This is indeed a good way!"

Li Shimin nodded.

He hadn't thought of this before, and it was a novelty.

It seems that Zheng Liwan has a bit of real talent and learning, and this alone is enough to prove it.

Li Shimin asked again:

"Then, what about the use of talents?" Zheng Liwan continued:

"The current situation in the imperial court has lost many talented people due to the withdrawal of Wang Cuilu and other big families. Now His Majesty urgently needs to replenish talents, and the imperial examination system of His Royal Highness cannot fully fill up those lost talents in time, so His Majesty is very anxious. .”

"Yes, and then what?"

Li Shimin was very interested.

"However! His Majesty only lost high-level talents, but there are many low-level talents. If these people are promoted, the court can still proceed in an orderly manner."

Having said that, Li Shimin asked again:

"Then what shall I do?"

Zheng Liwan went on to say: "We should make an exception for the promotion of virtuous talents. We should pay more attention to officials who are upright and upright, and we should give opportunities to talented and knowledgeable people and reuse them one by one. If we want to be faster If so, one assessment can be conducted from officials below the sixth rank, and those who are famous and excellent will be promoted to a higher level! As for those people, the assessment will be conducted next time until the fourth rank. In this case, it is guaranteed that the court can get better talents...."

When Zheng Liwan spoke, she was eloquent.

Every item is deeply rooted in Li Shimin's heart.It also solved his doubts.

Li Shimin laughed, he was more and more satisfied with this woman.

He said: "Your teacher taught you well, and I am very satisfied with your answer. It has solved many knots in my heart!"

Zheng Liwan said, "No, my little girl is not taught by the teacher!"

People were puzzled.

"Who taught that?"

Everyone, including Li Shimin, thought it was amazing.

"Yeah, it wasn't taught by the text, is there another expert? Or did you figure it out?"

Empress Changsun also said the same.

I am afraid that only high-level people can do this.

Zheng Liwan smiled and said:
"No! It's the little girl who learned these principles, all because of His Royal Highness's reforms during this period, and the little girl has listened to a few lectures given by His Royal Highness, so I thought of it. It can be said that if there is no His Royal Highness. , the little girl is just a village woman who doesn't know the state affairs, she has a beautiful face, but inside her body is a walking corpse without a soul."

Every word Zheng Liwan said was looking at Li Chengqian.

At the same time, Li Chengqian himself was very happy. It was probably the first time for him to be so flattered.

And the other party is still a talented beauty, can he take it as a show of love?
Although I feel good in my heart, it is necessary to work hard on words.

"Zheng Liwan, you are serious. What this king has done is also done on behalf of His Majesty. These are all done according to His Majesty's will."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was also happy.

He laughed loudly and said, "Of course, without Gao Ming's assistance, Datang would not have developed rapidly!"

There was no trace of disgust in his words.

That is good.

"Zheng Liwan, I am also very shocked by you. No matter what, everyone has listened to Gao Ming's lectures, but you are probably the only one who realized the truth. This fully proves that you are extraordinary!"

"Your Majesty is absurdly praised, how can my little girl He De receive such a compliment!"

"Hahaha, there are really not many such energetic women in the world. This is a reward, gold and silver are fine and soft, you can choose whatever you want!"

While speaking, Li Shimin stared at Zheng Liwan without moving his gaze.

Everyone can see Li Shimin's performance.

"Your Majesty, my daughter doesn't want these things. Money is something outside of me, my daughter doesn't need it."

"Hahaha, I am very satisfied with your performance!"

At this moment, Empress Changsun came out and said, "That's not true! Otherwise, how could you be Gao Ming's right hand?"

As soon as Empress Changsun's words came out, apart from Wu Zetian, Zheng Liwan and Li Chengqian were shocked!
That is to say, Empress Changsun wants to betroth Zheng Liwan to Li Chengqian?
If this is the case, Li Chengqian will naturally not refuse!He won't let go of such a good thing.

At the same time, he looked at Li Shimin's reaction, and he was probably very angry at this time.

It turned out that Empress Changsun did it on purpose.

"Guanyin maidservant, what's going on?"

Li Shimin was a little unhappy.It turned out that Empress Changsun was planning to marry Li Chengqian a wife.

It's that he thinks too much.

The scene became very discordant.

No one thought that Li Shimin would fall in love with Zheng Liwan. This is a historical necessity, but whether he can get it is still a question.

After all, Empress Changsun said it first, Zheng Liwan also has a heart for Li Chengqian.
