Chapter 96 Opening the House and Building the Yamen
Clearly, Li Zhen knew very well that Mo Li did not actually tell everything - even though they talked deeply all night and had some in-depth understanding of each other, there were still many secrets in Mo Li, at least his bizarre ones.
The experience of escaping and then sneaking into the imperial court was never mentioned.
Although Li Zhen was very curious, Mo Li didn't say anything, but he didn't bother to ask more questions. He just secretly told "Xu Ri" to investigate secretly. Without him, the soldiers were deceitful. Although Mo Li was very talented, he was just...
It was not an undercover agent sent by any party, but it was hard to tell. Without finding out the truth, Li Zhen was really worried.
Of course, the investigation is necessary, but after all, it is not possible to reach a conclusion in a short while. This matter can only be investigated slowly, but the matter of opening a government office cannot be delayed any longer - among the brothers together, except for the tenth
Third, besides the fact that the fourteenth son is still young, the other princes have already opened their own palaces, but Li Zhen has not taken any action in this regard. Now that the strategy of seizing the heir has been decided, it is only a matter of strengthening his own strength.
It is urgent, and besides, since it is impossible
If you can't hide it from your old man, then you might as well just let go of your hands and feet to fix it, and save yourself from half-covering it and making yourself uncomfortable, right? No, on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Li Zhen wrote to the old man requesting to formally open the mansion.
When establishing the government office, the old man was very straightforward. He approved it with just one word - accurate. Then on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, he appointed Prince Li Qianhe, the chief minister of the palace, to take office. He was standing in front of Li Zhen right now.
The tall and thin one.
Li Qianhe, courtesy name Yanting, was a descendant of the Li family in Longxi. He was Li Zhen's uncle according to his seniority. He was eager to learn since childhood, rigorous and unsmiling, and was famous for his uprightness in the court.
Tang, who was originally a Zhongsan doctor under the fifth rank, now works for Li Zhen
He was appointed as the Chief Historian of the Royal Palace (from the fourth rank). He was promoted two levels in a row. He also received practical training from the original casual official. It can be said that he got a huge advantage, but Li Zhen couldn't see it in front of him.
There was no trace of pride on the face of this middle-aged "little old man" who couldn't even smile.
"Uncle, it's my honor to have you come and serve in my nephew's house. Well, my nephew has always been lazy and the backyard is a mess, so I won't invite my uncle to come in. From now on, I'll ask my uncle to work in the front yard.
Oh, if the people below don’t obey orders,
The clan uncle can just take matters into his own hands, how can this be done?" Li Zhen looked at Li Qianhe for a while, suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said with a smile, although the words were meant to be discussed, but in fact
It is an unquestionable order.
Li Zhen was very murderous, and few people could speak smoothly in front of Li Zhen. However, Li Qianhe obviously did not accept Li Zhen's tricks.
In the imperial court, it is the duty of the lower official to teach His Highness. I dare not betray the divine grace. There is a difference between the inside and outside of the palace. I will pay attention to it, but please Your Highness to give me the right to enter the study to report."
What's wrong? Damn, what's wrong with your mother, why do I need you to discipline me? Damn it, he's such a disrespectful guy! Seeing Li Qianhe's tough attitude, Li Zhen felt unhappy, but what they said was
The truth - that's what Prince Palace Chief Shi does. He is equivalent to the steward sent by the emperor to the palace. He is in charge of princes like Li Zhen. He not only has the power to advise and teach princes, but also has the responsibility
The power to supervise the behavior of the princes and report to the emperor regularly is also a means for the emperor to prevent the princes from plotting evil in private. Although Li Zhen was not happy in her heart, there was nothing she could do. It was not easy to look at others when they first met. In desperation,
He could only force himself to smile and say: "What Uncle Clan said is true. Whenever there is something wrong with the little king, Uncle Clan, feel free to speak out. If there is any problem, the little king will correct it and encourage him if he doesn't."
"That's the best. I have my responsibilities, so I don't dare to delay any more. I would also like to ask Your Highness to introduce the candidates to each official position, so that I can start working now." Li Qianhe bowed and saluted.
According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, the specifications of the Prince's Palace were divided into two types: the Kingdom of Zhi and the Kingdom of Not. The structures of subordinate officials were similar, with minor differences: long history, record of affairs and participation in the army, Sima, and various Cao Cao's participation in the army (Gong Cao, Cang Cao, Hu Cao, Bing Cao, Fa Cao, Cavalry Cao, etc.), the Chief Secretary, the various guards commanders, the officers of the Marriage Office and the Accounting Office (Dianjun, etc.), etc., plus there are some team officers below these chief officers, the record There are more than a hundred civil and military officials such as the imperial family and various other officials. These are still internal subordinate officials. If it is a prince's country, there are subordinate officials such as county magistrates and county magistrates, old and young.
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the Chang Shi was an official in the Prince's Mansion, which was equivalent to the position of prime minister in the imperial court. All other officials had to be controlled by the Chang Shi. Of course, this was just a rule on paper. In fact, the Chang Shi was the official The emperor appointed the officials, while the other officials were selected by the princes. The two sides were actually in an opposing situation, and they did not really have anything to do with each other - the long history of each prince's palace was basically either idle or suppressed. How could it be possible that a long history would really lead the officials of the Prince's Mansion? However, these are just unwritten rules and cannot be put on the table. Therefore, when Li Qianhe asked to meet with everyone, When she was an official, Li Zhen was really the leader of the two. Without him, Li Zhen really didn't expect that the old Comrade Li in front of her would be so accepting of death, and would not accept the hard and soft, and was so difficult to deal with.
Li Zhen dared to open a mansion at this time, naturally because he already had many talented people in his hands, not to mention the direct descendants of the Yan family, and the orphans who were deliberately cultivated. The "Rising Sun" has recruited useful talents from all over the country, both young and old. In addition to the military heroes recruited during this expedition, the candidates for the palace officials have already been selected, but they have not yet been reported to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites. Well, as usual, as long as Prince Li Zhen reports it to the Ministry of Rites and Officials, it is just a formality. It does not require the emperor's personal approval, let alone the decision by the royal palace chief.
Damn it, where did the old man find such a treasure? It's really a stone in the pit. Not only does it smell bad, it's also so hard! When Li Zhen saw Li Qianhe's serious look, she almost twisted her nose with anger. Fortunately, the city was deep and she was so hard. He didn't express anything, but just smiled and said: "Uncle, Xiao Wang just entered this chapter yesterday, and he just received the Holy Will early this morning. The subordinate officials have not been determined yet. As for the candidates, they are still in the process of preparation. , How about waiting for Xiao Wangli to come up with a directory, and how can the clan uncle take a look at it?"
Li Zhen had already said this, but Li Qianhe still said tepidly: "That's fine, if His Highness has a candidate, I will cooperate with you to ensure that the official and position are compatible. If Your Highness wants to You may as well take matters into your own hands, I will draft the royal palace's charter now so that it can be considered by His Highness."
Uh-huh, what about that? Even the rules of our house have to be sorted out by you. Damn it, you really used chicken feathers as arrows! Li Zhen was so upset that she lost her temper. She glanced at Li Qianhe who was standing with his hands down and smiled bitterly. He shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's do this for now. Someone, come and take Li Changshi to the Changshi Courtyard to take up his new post." Li Zhen gave the order, and several personal guards came forward to wait on Li Changshi. Qianhe went to a quiet small courtyard at the west end of the outer courtyard of the palace. Li Zhen looked at Li Qianhe's leaving figure and felt bored for a while. She tossed her sleeves and turned back to the study in the backyard with a sullen face. .
The Imperial College clerkship that Mo Li worked for was a casual position, and he never had any important official duties, so the handover was very quick. This morning, he took a transfer letter from Li Zhen to the Imperial College and took a trip to the Imperial College. The handover was completed.
There were no formalities and I didn’t bring any luggage.
He just led the little book boy Mo Xiang into the palace empty-handed, which was regarded as his official appointment. At this moment, he was chatting with Nalong in the inner study room when he suddenly saw Li Zhen walking in with a look of defeat on his face.
Suddenly, he became curious and asked with a smile: "Why is Your Highness like this?"
Li Zhen sat down angrily, picked up a bowl of tea, and took a big sip. Then she told the story about Li Qianhe with an impatient expression, and finally asked: "Your Majesty, is this the case?"
What do you want to do? Why did you create such a person? Do you just want to see me embarrassed?"
"Otherwise." Li Yanting said with a smile: "Although Li Yanting is a bit pedantic, he is an upright person. The reason why the Holy One regards him as His Highness's long history is probably because there is a lot of profound meaning in it."
Huh? Deep meaning? What kind of bullshit has deep meaning? Li Zhen was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized something in her heart. She smiled and said: "Sir, I already know what you mean. Well, I will enshrine this old man to the general.
I just hope that everything goes well for him."
"Yes, it is the principle that when a gentleman has a word, the people obey it. Your Highness is wise." Nalong clapped his hands and added, and for a while, the three guests and the host laughed loudly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Well, is there any movement on the other side of the prince's case in the Arsenal case?" Li Zhen laughed for a while, finally clearing away all the resentment in front of his head, and looked at Nalong and asked.
Nalong is now in charge of the "Rising Sun" and has already arranged relevant personnel to keep an eye on the prince's group. When Li Zhen asked about it, he hurriedly said: "On the surface, the prince's scouts are out, and Chang'an is full of troubles."
Stop, actually
But he didn't take any substantive action, and I don't understand the layout." After a pause, he continued: "According to the time limit given by the Holy One, tomorrow should be the final time limit to solve the case. Could it be that the prince has already made another decision?
Is it possible?"
Damn, that’s weird, what kind of trick is the boss playing? It doesn’t make sense, there’s only one day left, and this guy can still keep his composure. Is there some ambush that hasn’t been set yet? Li Zhen frowned and raised her hand.
He kept tapping on the table and fell into deep thought... dd
