Chapter 66 Soil, Fertilizer and Construction of Public Toilets
They are not fools. They finally reached the harvest season and returned home. It’s just that they have their own bottom line and integrity, and they are not just lucky villains.
The aspect is indeed what they think and what they want. However, they know that they have insufficient experience and rashly taking over the aspect will only be counterproductive.
Ninety-nine steps of a hundred steps have been taken, and there is only one step left. How could they use horses to walk at this time?
The saint is paralyzed and the prince has great power. As the prince's confidants, they will become prime ministers sooner or later, so there is no need to rush at this moment.
"You say you don't have enough experience, but when I appointed you to be the minister of the Nine Temples, there was no objection from the government or the public, right?" Li Zhiyun said.
Du Ruhui said: "Your Highness, you are just inspecting the school, so naturally."
Li Zhiyun understood that these two people really didn't want to take over the position now.
On the one hand, he was very happy that Du Ruhui and Xue Shou were sensible. On the other hand, he felt that these two people were a bit pedantic and could not understand his difficulties.
Although the several prime ministers in the current political affairs hall are all his people, the ones who can really gain Li Zhiyun's trust are naturally the confidants of the Shence Mansion.
He hoped that Du Ruhui and others could enter the Political Affairs Hall as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished.
Xue Shou said: "Your Highness is so kind to you. I and Du Ruhui are extremely grateful. However, the imperial court has its own laws. As the Crown Prince, how can you ignore it so easily? I also know that Your Highness hopes that I can serve His Highness as soon as possible. I just want to ask you to do so."
Your Highness believes in Yang Xiang and others."
"Yes, what Xue Shou said is correct." Du Ruhui took it and said, "Mr. Yang and others are planning for His Highness, which is worthy of His Highness's entrustment."
Seeing that they were really persistent, Li Zhiyun was not easy to force.
"Okay, I understand."
Hearing this, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They were worried that His Highness the Crown Prince would have his own way. There was no problem in letting them serve as prime ministers, but it was not a good thing for them now.
Do not visit prefectures and counties, do not enter provinces and Taiwan, this is an unspoken rule that has not yet been confirmed.
And most of the central ministers strongly agree with this.
The reason is very simple. He doesn’t even have experience in serving at the lower levels of state or county. How can such a person handle major national affairs?
Now that they have the support of the prince, others naturally dare not say anything, but if they are attacked and annihilated by others in the future and lose their position, there will be no place to cry.
What's more important is that if we set this precedent, it will be a disaster for future generations!
Again, in a hundred-step journey, ninety-nine steps have been taken, and they are not willing to skip the remaining step.
Playing steadily and steadily is the right path.
After all, their goal is phase, not the likes of Liubu Shilang or Jiushi Shaoqing, so they naturally have very high requirements for themselves.
Li Zhiyun asked: "Since you all don't agree, I would like to ask you, who do you think is better for the remaining aspects?"
Du Ruhui thought for a moment and replied: "Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"Tang Jian?" Li Zhiyun frowned.
This man was an old minister of his father, and he was planning to send him away from Chang'an.
Du Ruhui explained: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is the most important thing. How can we let it go? Although Tang Jian has no intention of turning back, he is not His Highness's person after all."
"If it was just to control the Ministry of Civil Affairs and there were no other ways to deal with Tang Jian, there would be no need to join him as prime minister."
Du Ruhui said: "The reason why I recommend Tang Jian is not just to win the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The most important thing is that His Highness has recently dealt with many of the old ministers of the saints. Although he has tried to comfort him, people are still worried. At this time, if Your Highness promotes Tang Jian,
Frugality is undoubtedly the best way to appease the saint and his ministers.
When Tang Jian entered the Political Affairs Hall, His Highness could take over the Ministry of Civil Affairs as a matter of course. Now, the five prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall are following His Highness. Tang Jian alone cannot cause any trouble. In addition, if His Highness appoints someone else as the Prime Minister, I am afraid that
It caused dissatisfaction among Guanlong people."
Li Zhiyun nodded, then smiled and said: "If Tang Jian can be used as prime minister, can the people of Guanlong be satisfied?"
"Of course I'm not satisfied, but Tang Jian is a saint," Du Ruhui said.
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun understood that Du Ruhui had killed three birds with one stone.
When he entered the Tang Dynasty, Jian became prime minister, firstly to appease the old ministers of the saint, secondly to win over the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and thirdly to attract the firepower of Guanlong people.
"Keming, you can't refuse the phase because you don't want to offend the Guanlong people," Li Zhiyun said jokingly.
Du Ruhui smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness clearly knows that I have no such intention. If Your Highness is destined to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will go there."
"Relax, we are just joking." Li Zhiyun then asked: "As for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who do you think it is best to leave it to?"
The two were silent for a while, and Xue Shou said: "Your Highness is the one who makes the decision."
"Are you trying to avoid suspicion?" Li Zhiyun glanced at them sideways.
Hearing this, the two of them smiled bitterly, but they were also moved.
Xue Shoudao said: "With the trust of His Highness, I recommend one person, Wen Shi of Taiyuan, Wen Yanbo."
Taiyuan Wen family?
Li Zhiyun understood.
"What you said is very consistent with Gu Yi."
Soon after, two edicts were issued.
First, Tang Jian was appointed as Nayan and entered the political affairs hall. Second, Wen Yanbo, the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
When Tang Jian received the imperial edict, he thought he was dreaming. He looked at the palace for half an hour. After that, he sighed happily: The prince is a benevolent person!
After the warrior Xun was driven to Yizhou, Tang Jian thought it would be his turn next, but he never expected that not only would he not be demoted, but he would also be admitted to the Political Affairs Hall.
Prince Li Zhiyun has a heart as broad as the sea!
After the news of Tang Jian's appointment as prime minister spread, the old ministers of the sage felt relieved. Even Tang Jian did not have any trouble and was reused. Naturally, the prince would not continue to target other people. For a time, the old ministers of the sage relaxed one after another.
tone.
On the other hand, the people of Guanlong, especially the Dugu family, were dissatisfied. However, for the time being, they could not cause trouble. Because Yu Shiqian had received the benefits from Li Zhiyun, he would not go against Li Zhiyun for the sake of the Dugu family without any bottom line.
As for the Dou family, they are still silent.
Without anyone to take the initiative, there would be no trouble, and they could only hate Tang Jian for not understanding the general situation.
As for Wen Yanbo's appointment as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, although some people were envious and jealous, there was no objection.
Because this is the order of the prince and the resolution passed by the five ministers of the political hall.
Wenxi County Government.
That's right, after Li Zhiyun was appointed as the crown prince, while accepting Pei Su'er, he also gave Pei Ju the title of Duke of Wenxi County. This was regarded as reciprocating the favor and formally recognized him as the head of the Wenxi Pei family in an official capacity.
Pei Ju was neither sad nor happy about this, because in his opinion, he should have received this title in the first place. It was only because of Pei Ji's obstruction that he had not received it.
"Why do you think the prince asked Wen Yanbo to serve as Minister of Civil Affairs?" Pei Ju asked his son Pei Xuanji.
Pei Xuanji is currently the commander of Chang'an and has experience. Naturally, his thinking now will not be as simple as before.
He thought for a moment and replied: "Win over the Taiyuan Wen family."
"That's right." Pei Ju said with satisfaction: "We can't win over the Wang family in Taiyuan for the time being. Although the Wen family in Taiyuan is not as good as the Wang family, it is still a local prominent family. Every word and action of the prince has profound meaning."
Wenfu.
After receiving the imperial edict, Wen Yanbo immediately understood that this was the prince's show of goodwill. He did not show any pretense and went directly to the palace to thank Li Zhiyun.
And he said that when the Ministry of Civil Affairs responds to the matter, he will definitely take the prince's opinion into account, no matter how big or small it is.
The prince ascended the throne, but sooner or later, Wen Yanbo saw clearly. Only a fool would refuse the prince's offer of an olive branch at this time.
Li Zhiyun is also very satisfied with Wen Yanbo's knowledge and interest, and is naturally happy to get along with him.
