In the following days, Li Shan finally relaxed. The main reason was that he finally understood why Li Yuan kept testing whether there was collusion between himself and Dong Gong... Thinking of this, Li Shan couldn't help but curse. A few words about Su Mu.
But Mother Su is not having a good time now, and is forced to recuperate at home. Although Li Shan said in front of the emperor that he was unwell and could not get up, externally he only said that he was worried about his son... Li was the daughter-in-law and could not help it, but Ling Jing came directly to let him go. After all, there is no need for Li Shan to take the blame.
But even so, Li Shan also wrote a letter to Su Dingfang, because he was afraid of being peeked... Li Yuan may not do this kind of thing, so Li Shan was frank in the letter, and our friendship was there He neither clings to the East Palace nor leans towards King Qin, and His Majesty is now in his prime. Do we need to make a choice at this time?
After reading the letter, Ling Jing sighed, Li Huairen, you actually said that you were not good at flattering? !
Your Majesty will be sixty years old next year, and you actually say he is in his prime? !
Where is your face?
However, Li Shan's carefree life lasted only a few days. On April 16, he was summoned by Li Yuan again. Since there was no action from the Lingzhou Army, Su Dingfang should soon receive an order to recall Chang'an, and Dou Gui The movement was very fast, and Yinzhou and Suizhou were recovered in just a few days.
There are so many positions, those who want to serve, those who want to be transferred, and the talents that the court needs, all of which require the Ministry of Personnel to make quick decisions, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is concurrently appointed by Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren. This naughty person immediately reported to Li Yuan resigned from the Ministry of Civil Affairs... The Zhongshu Province was too busy.
Therefore, Li Yuan really adopted Li Shan's bad idea and came up with an organization similar to the selection of Cao Qigui. He hoped to compile a list as soon as possible. This organization is not a formal official office and has a total of eight people.
Shangshu Zuopu shot Pei Ji, Zhongshu Ling Feng Lun, ministers Chen Shuda and Pei Shiju, Zongzhengqing Zhaojunwang Li Xiaogong, Minister of Punishment Zheng Shanguo, Huangmen minister Tang Jian, and finally Wei Siwang Li Shan was added.
Li Shan was also upset, Li Yuan was so indifferent!
Do the math, Pei Ji, Pei Shiju, and Zheng Shanguo are all direct descendants of the prince. On the King of Qin's side are Feng Lun, Chen Shuda, and Tang Jian. Among them, Feng Lun is a guy with both ends of the spectrum. Li Xiaogong must be high-minded and not doing anything. There is no way to force him to express his position. In this case, the decision-making power will probably fall on Li Shan.
Therefore, when Li Shan walked into the gate of the Ministry of Personnel, he felt the deep gaze cast by Pei Shiju... Let's see what you do this time!
What is the focus of the discussion?
Lingzhou Road Marching Controller That is not their business. This needs to be discussed in Liangyi Hall... although most of the people here can participate.
The level of county magistrate is also not under discussion. Although the powers of county magistrates in the Tang Dynasty were much greater than those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, after all, looking at Guanzhong, the county magistrates were still too low.
As for the selection of the assistant officers of the state capital and the hussar generals of the Zhechong government, it is not the focus. These official positions do not play a big role, or they do not have much power.
Therefore, the focus of the discussion and the focus of everyone's dispute is on the chief officials of Xiazhou, which was renamed Shuofang County, the recovered Yinzhou and Suizhou, and the chief officials of Yanzhou and Longzhou, which currently have no chief officials.
Li Xiaogong was sitting in the corner, squinting as if he was dozing off. He occasionally exchanged glances with Li Shan who was surrounded in the middle. In fact, the two of them knew in their hearts that if they really wanted to fight, the East Palace could not compete with King Qin. The reason was very simple. The King of Qin's lineage is full of talents, but the East Palace side is short of talents.
It's not that the Donggong lineage can't find a few candidates who can serve as the chief officials of the state capital. After all, Li Jiancheng has been in charge of the Donggong for nearly ten years. There are not only a lot of such candidates to choose from, but there are also many.
The key is that most of these state capitals will become the front lines facing the Turks. Once a war breaks out, they will inevitably lead their troops to participate in the war. Therefore, the chief officials must not only be talented people, but also must have generals, and this is precisely the weakest part of the East Palace.
But it is impossible for the East Palace to give up, because after all, it is within the pass. Once it can be captured, it will definitely be the backbone of the support faction... To put it harshly, if Li Jiancheng really raised troops and imprisoned Li Yuan, even if he failed to kill Li Shimin, within the pass If more of his direct descendants serve as the chief officials of the state government, they may block the roads and successfully capture Li Shimin who fled to Lingzhou or Luoyang.
Chen Shuda recommended Cao Guogong Li Shiji to be the general manager of Xiazhou. Zheng Shanguo shook his head. After Li Shiji returned to Tang Dynasty, he was first defeated and captured by Dou Jiande, and then beaten by Liu Heitai and only escaped with his life. How could he be worthy of such an important task!
Pei Ji recommended Xue Wanche as the general manager of Xiazhou... The East Palace also knew that Li Yuan would not appoint Xue Wanche to succeed the military commander of Lingzhou Road. However, Tang Jian kindly reminded him with a smile that Xue Wanche was also defeated at the hands of Liu Heitai and was sent back.
Li Shan listened with an expressionless face, feeling that this was no different from the brothers in the dormitory in his previous life arguing about which female student in the class had the best figure and the most beautiful appearance.
Pei Shiju squinted his eyes and looked at Li Shan, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, wrote "Horse Theory" last year. He is the best at appraising talents. Do you have any recommendations?"
Li Shan responded with a gentle smile, "This junior has little talent and little knowledge. How can he compare with Pei Gong, who is ranked among the top seven nobles to choose Cao?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is too humble. Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, and Hou Hongtao are all good generals."
"So, Mr. Pei is too humble." Li Shan's smile was still gentle. "This junior has made many military exploits in the past few years and defeated the Turks several times. All thanks to Mr. Pei's recommendation."
Pei Shiju's white eyebrows moved, and he cursed secretly that this little fox was really difficult to deal with. He couldn't even speak these words... Li Shan was planning a plan in Shandong back then. After all, he didn't have a formal identity. His real military exploits must come from him. When he became acting county magistrate, it was Pei Shiju who recommended Li Shan.
Zheng Shanguo didn't know why Pei Shiju was targeting Li Shan, but he thought about it and changed the subject. He looked at Li Xiaogong and said with a smile: "King Zhao defeated Bashu, destroyed Nanliang, leveled Lingnan, and settled Jianghuai. He has many famous generals under his command. I don't know who he is. Which ones?"
You guys are noisy, please don't disturb my sleep, okay?
Li Xiaogong complained in his heart and put on a fake smile on his face, "Young Master Xingyang County should know that these are all the merits of the Duke. You don't dare to take them rashly. You don't dare to take them rashly."
Well, a heir king and a county king are only willing to be mute... Then we can only continue to quarrel. It happens that there are three on each side, and they are evenly matched!
Li Shan listened for a while and thought, maybe he could do something, but he had to wait, the time hadn't come yet.
After all, most of them were officers and adjutants from the three provinces. After the quarrel, they finally realized that they could not continue to quarrel. If they continued to quarrel, they would run out of time, so they agreed to fight again tomorrow... No, the discussion officially started.
Li Xiaogong was sleepy when he went out.
Li Shan was drowsy when he went out.
