Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 296

Du He's official position is Shangcheng Fengyu from the fifth rank, and he is the chief officer of Shangcheng Bureau, one of the six bureaus under the jurisdiction of Dianzhong Province.

The main job of AMTD Bureau is to manage all the horse farms for the emperor, and it is the official of the emperor's private horse breeder.

Dianzhong Province is mainly in charge of the emperor's life on weekdays. The chief officer is the Dianzhong Supervisor. Non-emperor's cronies cannot take up this position. It is an official position from the third rank, which belongs to the ranks of senior officials. It will be promoted from the fifth rank to the third rank in one fell swoop.

This is a direct promotion to the fourth rank of two ranks, but having said that, Du He's ability is still remarkable, and it is not impossible to be a supervisor in the palace.

What's more, he is still the emperor's confidant, and as the chief official of the palace province, he naturally has nothing to say, and no one can say anything.

"Du He's tenure as Shangcheng Fengyu can be regarded as fulfilling his duties, and he is not at fault! What's more, now that the governor of the palace is resigning, he really needs a suitable candidate to succeed him."

"I feel that it is well deserved for Du He to be the prisoner of this palace." Changsun Wuji said.

"What about you? Do you have any objections to Du He's appointment as the supervisor?" Li Chengqian looked at the others and asked.

"I have no objection!" Chu Suiliang and others agreed.

They agreed because Changsun Wuji had let go, and it was not good for them to continue, not to mention that Du He did have some abilities.

With the words of Changsun Wuji and Du He's ability, everyone no longer insisted on it, and simply pushed the boat along.

"That's it! Zhongshu Sheren drafted an edict together, and issued it tomorrow." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Zhongshusheren led the order to retreat.

The edict of appointment was quickly drafted by Zhongshu Sheren, and after being reviewed by his subordinates, it was handed over to Li Chengqian to draw the edict and seal, and then the officials of Shangshu Province went to execute and read it out.

Wang Fangyi, Cheng Wuting, Xue Rengui and others were promoted.

"Your Majesty! Is it really necessary to promote Li Ji in such a short period of time?" Du He, the supervisor in the palace, asked.

Du He didn't understand why Li Chengqian promoted Li Ji quickly, since he was not a subject of the emperor or prince.

The emperor had never given Li Ji any favors, even if he was not one of his own and had no connection, why should he be given such a high position.

"That's right! I really want to promote Li Ji and let him return to Chang'an to assist me." Li Chengqian said.

This was arranged by the first emperor, saying that only by doing so, Li Ji would be loyal to him and could be cited as a confidant.

An old man in a family is like a treasure. The late emperor had been with Li Ji for so many years, and the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was harmonious. The late emperor naturally knew Li Ji better than the new emperor.

What's more, in this regard, the first emperor would not harm him as an emperor. Whether it was Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others, or Li Ji, the first emperor always gave him the best arrangement from the perspective of his consideration.

In terms of vision and starting point, the decision made by the first emperor was the best at that time, but there was no way to predict the future.

People's hearts will always change with time and interests, and these mainly depend on the ability of the new emperor.

With enough ability, the new emperor will naturally be able to hold the scene, and there is no need to worry about the following situation.

"Isn't Your Majesty worried about the Taiwei's opposition?" Du He asked.

"This is the late emperor's edict to recall Li Ji to Chang'an and appoint him as Zuo Servant. Are you questioning the late emperor's will?" Li Chengqian asked.

Du He is an official who is responsible for the various needs of the emperor's life. When will you be qualified to participate in the appointment of decision-making officials? You are not the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

If it weren't for thinking that you are my confidant, I would have dealt with you long ago!It's your turn to make irresponsible remarks here.

"I don't dare!" Du He hurriedly saluted, and gave him a hundred for courage, and he, Du He, did not dare to question the late emperor's will.

"This is the late emperor's will. Even if Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang have any opinions, they dare not say anything."

"The first emperor asked me to recall Li Ji directly and appointed him as Shangshu Zuopushe. Now, I just promoted Li Ji to the third division of Kaifu Yitong and the third rank of Tongzhong Shumen." Li Chengqian said.

Hearing this, Du He immediately shut up and stopped talking, so as not to offend the emperor. Now Li Chengqian is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not the former prince, so he can no longer be as casual as before.

"You came to see me in such a hurry just to tell me this?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The minister is here to report to His Majesty the affairs of the Dianzhong Province. This is the past account book of the Dianzhong Province. Please have a look at it." Du He handed the account book in his hand to Li Chengqian.

It was really unnecessary for Li Chengqian not to reach out to pick it up. As the emperor, he had a lot of military and state affairs to deal with, so he didn't have time to take care of these trivial matters.

"Okay! You can handle the affairs in the palace and the province yourself. Don't bother me with such trivial matters in front of me." Li Chengqian said.

What happened to Du He recently?Things are getting worse and worse. Li Chengqian was puzzled why he didn't see Du He's appearance when he was still the prince.

"Your Majesty! As a subject of His Majesty, it is my duty to share the worries of Your Majesty. I have always wanted to imitate the friendship between Xian Kao and the late emperor."

"At the beginning, I first tried my best to assist the late emperor, now, I should follow suit!" Du He said a lot.

Only then did Li Chengqian come to his senses. After talking for a long time, it turned out that Du He felt that being a prisoner in the palace was really overkill.

Like his father Du Ruhui, he should participate in major national affairs and enter the upper-level decision-making circle.

Instead of being a chief executive who provides food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even entertainment for the emperor and his son.

For Du He, this is simply a waste of his talent, even if he is given a smaller official, as long as he can enter the decision-making level.

In Du He's opinion, it is more than a hundred times better than him being a third-rank palace supervisor.

"I understand what you mean! But there is no suitable position for you now, so you will do it first in the position of the prison in the palace."

"It's best to be able to make political achievements, so that I can find other positions for you. You'd better go back and wait patiently!" Li Chengqian said.

It was impossible for Li Chengqian to let Du He enter the decision-making levels of the three provinces and six ministries just because he had ideas.

Let's not talk about whether there is a position, just say that you, Du He, have just been working in Dianzhong Province for a few days, and you want to transfer positions. How can this be possible.

"Your Majesty! The King of Han, Li Yuanchang, entrusted someone to come here and ask his ministers to ask His Majesty about something." Du He said.

"What did the King of Han say? Is there anything I need to ask?" Li Chengqian said.

"The King of Han asked, does Your Majesty still remember when he was in the East Palace, he promised him to reward him with a court lady beside the late Emperor?" Du He said.

"It turns out that this is the matter. This matter was discussed when the King of Han went to Chang'an for the funeral." Li Chengqian said.

"The minister resigns!" Du He bowed and retreated.
