The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Weapons are weapons. Be careful with the army, deploy them carefully, mobilize them carefully, and treat them carefully." Li Shimin said seriously, but thinking of all these trivialities, and the problems that the Fubing system will face in the next few decades, and not being able to find a solution, he felt a little irritated.

It's too hot.

"Forget it, as Huairen said, we will slowly figure out the future, and let's leave the Ministry of War for now." Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji: "What about the Ministry of Personnel?

Changsun Wuji's face was full of worry.

"The Ministry of Personnel... has no less trouble than the Ministry of War, but now many problems have been solved and there is a breakthrough."

"What do you mean? "Li Shimin asked.

"Most of the officials from the fifth to third ranks in office were appointed by the former emperor, and their connections were originally in Pei Ji's hands. Now that Pei Ji has fallen, it is during this period that they are in the most chaos. After a while, they will sort out their internal affairs. It will not be as easy to make changes to them as it is now." Changsun Wuji said: "These people used to be in a group with Pei Ji. The emperor ignored the government affairs. Even if the emperor issued a decree, these officials had to look at Pei Ji's face."

"So, now the Ministry of Personnel needs to make drastic changes. This is the best opportunity."

But how to change?

Everything must have a rule.

"Well..." Li Shimin pondered: "I have a goal, to reduce officials and increase work efficiency, but how to achieve this goal still depends on you, come up with more ideas and think of more ways. "

"Look, there is only one Palace Department now, and there are 120 masseurs alone, but in reality, only three or four people are used a day at most."

"Three or four people, there are more than one Palace Department with such people who are not doing their job. Fu Ji, I let you be the right servant, that's what I mean, you have to come up with a solution as soon as possible."

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji with sharp eyes.

Helping him to be the right servant is to let him take the blame.

Changsun Wuji is the queen's brother and the uncle of the emperor.

Even if something goes wrong in the end, it's nothing more than not being an official for a while, there will be no major consequences.

In short: you won't die.

"Only by replacing the old with the new, establish new rules, and do another body, speech, and writing. Those who don't meet the standards of the Ministry of Personnel will be eliminated." Changsun Wuji said.

"If you want to achieve the goal of great peace in the world, assessment is the key, assessment." Li Shimin thought seriously: "Give them corresponding official titles according to their talents. The ancients said that it doesn't take much to get real talents. Those mediocre talents are useless no matter how many they are. Therefore, assessment is very important. "

"Back then, the world was in a state of strife and people were urgently needed. Now that the Tang Dynasty is unified and the world is ruled by culture, we must be strict in employing people. However, this standard must be set by us." Changsun Wuji smiled.

"Okay, then we will assess each rank. For those above the third rank, please ask Your Majesty to assess them personally." Fang Xuanling echoed.

"Fuji, you are now the right servant and the Minister of Personnel. You all know that people from the Qin Wangfu are a minority in the court. If the minority replaces the majority, you must be careful and cautious."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji.

"Fuji, you must be prepared. I will sacrifice you at any time."

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a while, and then nodded in response.

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay." ”

He responded three times in a row, and then spoke again: "Using me to exchange for a dynasty, it's worth it! Worth it!"

Li Fu truly saw what it meant to be a monarch and ministers working together in this court meeting.

No wonder there was the Zhenguan Reign.

Officials were dismissed, the central government was streamlined, and the military system was added.

This reduced the financial expenditure of the court.

The assessment system........

KPI has begun, will the last-place elimination system be implemented in the future?

"A few months ago, there was a murder case in Weizhou, which has been delayed until now and has not been handled. Originally, I was going to hold Pei Ji accountable for this matter." Li Shimin said: "But now Pei Ji is gone, it's just right, take this opportunity to take a good look at how the redundant staff of the court do things."

"Huairen, you are the prince's tutor, you take Cheng Qian with you." Li Shimin said.

"Yes. "Li Fu bowed and responded.

Li Shimin was going to let Li Chengqian see how many useless officials there were in the court and what they were like.

This should be a warning.

"When the time comes, if there is any situation, you can tell the Right Prime Minister that the Ministry of Personnel should properly rectify these redundant personnel this time." Li Shimin said: "Those who should be dismissed should be dismissed."

"To conquer the world, we must win the hearts of the people. Therefore, many officials are allowed to leave, butNowadays, to govern the world, winning the hearts of the people does not rely on officials, but on political achievements. "Li Shimin added: "It is imperative to evaluate officials."

"Yes." Li Fu responded with a cupped hand.

After the court meeting, Li Fu found a place to rest under the guidance of the eunuch. In Hanfeng Palace, Li Shimin was still talking with Li Chengqian. Later, Li Chengqian would go to Cuiwei Palace to visit Empress Changsun.

With nothing to do, Li Fu asked the eunuchs around him.

"Your Majesty, what is the murder case in Weizhou that you mentioned?" Li Fu asked.

Since he was an eunuch who came to Cuiwei Palace from the palace, he would have heard some rumors about such things.

"Your Majesty, I don't know much. I just know that in the past, this was the matter of Prime Minister Pei Ji, and Prime Minister Pei Ji had never reported it to Your Majesty in detail. This matter was still reported by the people of Baiqisi. "

Li Fu nodded.

Pei Ji was exiled, and it was not unjust at all.

Li Fu stayed in Cuiwei Palace for the time being. The next morning, Li Chengqian came to find Li Fu.

"Uncle Wang, the murder case in Weizhou that Aye mentioned yesterday..."

Li Fu nodded.

"Let's go and investigate today." Li Fu said with a smile.

As for what the father and son talked about alone in Hanfeng Palace yesterday, that was not something Li Fu could discuss.

When they arrived at the place, the officials saw Li Fu and Li Chengqian and saluted respectfully.

"In compliance with the order of His Majesty, I have come to inquire about the murder case in Weizhou. You should find the relevant files."

"Yes. "The clerk who received the call answered.

Then, Li Fu took Li Chengqian to sit next to him, drinking tea while watching the officials next to him busy looking for files.

"They sorted out the files for the entire case. It's been so long since the incident, and they haven't even put the files in a good place." Li Fu laughed and said, "If they want to check the files, it will take a long time for them to find them, given the chaos."

Not long after, another official came in from outside.

After greeting Li Chengqian and Li Fu, he asked his colleagues what happened.
