Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 333 Longtu Riding Branch
"Go and call Xu Jingzong, Minister of Rites, to me. I have something to discuss with him." As soon as Li Ke left, Li Chengqian sent someone to call Xu Jingzong.

"No!" The eunuch took the order and left.

Hearing the emperor summoning him, Xu Jingzong did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately followed the eunuch to the Hall of Liangyi to meet Li Chengqian.

"Minister Xu Jingzong pays homage to His Majesty!" Xu Jingzong saluted and paid homage.

"Freedom of courtesy! Give me a seat!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Jingzong thanked him.

"You were asked to screen six officials, how are you doing?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Report to Your Majesty! I already have some clues! This is the list that I have made after careful screening. Please take a look at your majesty." Xu Jingzong said, taking out the list that he had already prepared from his sleeve.

Li Chengqian got the list in Xu Jingzong's hand and went through it carefully. The above people are suitable to be the officials of the six ministries.

"Not bad! Take a look at this list and see if they are all suitable to serve as officials of the six ministries." Li Chengqian handed Li Ke's list to Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong hurried forward to take it, opened it for a look, and finally his eyes stopped on the names of Chai Lingwu, Fang Yiai and others.

"Your Majesty! Let's not talk about the abilities of other people, but this Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu and others must never use it." Xu Jingzong said.

"Why? Although they once supported Qingque and competed with me for the position of prince, they are just their own masters."

"This matter has passed, and now the imperial court is employing people, and when they are talented, how can they not use others because they are part of the Qingque party."

"Wei Zheng, Li Anyan and others were also the former subordinates of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng, and the late emperor appointed them as well," Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty! The two are different. Whether it is Wei Zheng or Li Anyan, they are both the king's salary and the king's worry!"

"Fang Yi'ai is different from Chai Lingwu and others. They have two heads, one thing on the surface, and one thing behind the scenes. Fang Yiai even has plans to plot against her brother Fang Yizhi's family business."

"How can such a person with evil plans be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility? Once he has ulterior motives, he will betray His Majesty!"

"It is inhumane to plan for brother's family property, and it is infidelity to sell the master for glory. In this way, how can an unfaithful and unkind person be reused. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Besides, Fang Yi'ai and Chai Lingwu are not without great talents. It is their blessing to be able to honor the princess, so how can they be delusional about other things." Xu Jingzong said.

"What you said is not unreasonable! Then cross out Fang Yiai and others, what about the others?" Li Chengqian said.

"Others have no problems and are competent enough for the positions they hold."

"Your Majesty! I wonder who contributed this list?" Xu Jingzong said.

"It's Wu Wang Li Ke, what's the matter? Is there any problem?" Li Chengqian asked.

Xu Jingzong didn't know how to answer for a while, but now Li Ke is highly regarded by Li Chengqian. Would it make the emperor feel disgusted to say that Li Ke's behavior is not good?
Furthermore, why did the emperor suddenly ask such a question?Whether the emperor is already dissatisfied with Li Ke, but it's just not yet time to attack.

Before he figured out Li Chengqian's true attitude, he couldn't draw conclusions at will.

"Since it is the list presented by King Wu, there should be nothing wrong with it!" Xu Jingzong said.

"This time, there are limited vacancies for officials from the six ministries. Who do you think is suitable for what position in these two lists?" Li Chengqian said.

"I think these people, and these people are suitable for serving in the six departments." Xu Jingzong took two lists and pointed to some of the names on them.

"The appointment and removal of officials from the six ministries is very important. Whether they are really suitable can only be known after an assessment."

"You, Xu Jingzong, will examine these people, and all those who pass will be admitted!" Li Chengqian said.

"No! I will go back and prepare!" Xu Jingzong said goodbye to Li Chengqian and left.

After some preparations, Xu Jingzong conducted an assessment of these candidates and recruited some people with outstanding abilities as officials of the Six Ministries.

In the second year of Yonghui, the imperial court appointed Yu Wenjie, the servant of Huangmen, and Liu Xun, the servant of Zhongshu, as the third rank of Tongzhongshu.Liu Shi is the nephew of Liu Heng and the uncle of Wang Shi, the concubine of Jin Wang Li Zhi.

"Report to Your Majesty! The State of Yanqi submitted a letter of credence, claiming that their king, Luang Po Kali, had passed away, and requested to re-establish the previous king, Long Tuqizhi, as the king of the State of Yanqi." In the early dynasty, the minister in charge of dealing with the vassal state said. .

"Don't LP Gali have any heirs? Why do you want to support Long Tuqizhi again?" Li Chengqian was puzzled.

The words "father dies, son succeeds" are not only suitable for Han people, but also suitable for other tribes. After all, everyone hopes that their own things are still passed on to their own children, rather than passed on to outsiders.

"This, I don't know. Yanqi did not report whether Luang Po Kali had any heirs. It stands to reason that if there were any, he should support the sons of the previous kings. From this inference, the previous kings of Yanqi should have no heirs," the official said. Said.

"Since Long Po Kali has no heirs, according to the request of the people of Yanqi, Long Tuqizhi can be canonized as the king of Yanqi. Where is Longtuqizhi now? It can be in Chang'an." Li Chengqian asked.

"Long Tuqizhi rebelled against the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, and was captured alive by Guo Xiaoming, the former Anxi governor, and was escorted back to Chang'an together with his family."

"The first emperor pardoned Long Tuqizhi's crimes and let him stay in Chang'an with his family. Now Long Tuqizhi is in Chang'an." Changsun Wuji said.

After Long Tuqizhi was pardoned by Li Er, he lived a normal life in Chang'an. If it weren't for the letter of credence from Yanqi Kingdom, Long Tuqizhi would have been forgotten long ago.

Fortunately, his subjects did not forget him as the former king. After the death of King Luang Po Kali, they immediately sent people to Chang'an to welcome him back and become the king again.

"In this case, Zhongshu Sheren drafted an imperial edict ordering Long Tuqizhi to return to Yanqi Kingdom immediately, re-succeed as king, and make him General Youwuwei, and serve as the governor of the Yanqi Governor's Mansion." Li Chengqian said.

"Promise!" Zhongshu Sheren received the order.

"Do you have anything else to play?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty! As usual, some rewards should be given to the kings every year. Is this year's reward the same as in previous years?" Zong Zhengqing, who was in charge of royal affairs, came out and asked.

Every year, the emperor would give some rewards to his relatives, depending on how close they were to the emperor and the rank of title.

The most important thing is to look at the mood of the emperor, whether the treasury is rich, etc., all determine how many rewards these royal families can get.

The so-called reward is actually asking the emperor whether the treatment of these royal families should be improved this year!

"Then give five hundred pieces of silk to each of the kings, and King Teng and King Jiang don't need to reward them anymore!" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty! Why are only King Teng and King Jiang not rewarded!" Zong Zhengqing said.

There must be a reason for not rewarding them, so that he can have an explanation.
