There were vague laments in the room, Your Majesty refused to catch the ball!
A volley kicked the ball back again!
What everyone was thinking about was not just Li Yuan kicking the ball back. Pei Ji, Feng Lun, Chen Shuda and others all looked very ugly. If things go wrong this time, this not-yet-official organization would basically be destroyed. This is tantamount to It was the little extra power that Zaifu might have had that would evaporate.
However, Li Shan was very indifferent. In his opinion, the recommendation system similar to the one used by Cao Qigui in the former Sui Dynasty was born out of the nine-level Zhongzheng system that existed for two to three hundred years. People like himself were also the Zhongzheng officials in the early years.
Although the imperial examination system was not perfect in the Tang Dynasty, a large number of children from aristocratic families passed the imperial examination and became officials, which led to the rapid increase in the status and importance of the imperial examination. This was the reason for the ecstasy of the later Jinshi in Mengjiao, and the life of Xue Yuanchao Among the three regrets, he failed to pass the imperial examination.
Therefore, this temporary organization will definitely not last long. Li Shan guessed that it was just his casual mention a few days ago, and Li Yuan came up with it on the spur of the moment... It may be possible to reverse history, but Li Yuan is not a fool.
Pei Ji sighed, but saw that the Minister of Civil Affairs in front of him hesitated and did not retreat, "Huh?"
The Minister of Civil Affairs turned to look at Li Yuan, "Your Majesty is specifically asking His Highness the King of Wei."
Li Shan felt something was wrong, "Your Majesty asked me?"
"Yes." The Minister of Civil Affairs said dryly: "Your Majesty would like to ask His Highness the King of Wei if he has any recommendations..."
Tang Jian smiled and said, "How do you answer?"
"I fell asleep in the afternoon and woke up at dusk." The voice of the Minister of Civil Affairs was a little soft, "Your Majesty is furious and blames His Majesty the King of Wei for not being diligent and..."
"What?"
"It was also mentioned that His Royal Highness the King of Wei proposed such selection of officials, but now he is ignoring it..."
Li Shan's face froze, Li Yuan, you shameless person, you threw the blame on me again and again!
You bad old man!
Believe it or not, I will send you to the lake to blow the cold wind!
Watching the Minister of Civil Service leave, Li Shan said angrily: "It really has nothing to do with Gu!"
"His Royal Highness, King Wei, be careful what you say!"
"Huairen be careful what you say!"
The former sentence is from Tang Jian, the latter sentence is from Chen Shuda... Even if His Majesty asks you to take the blame, you can't complain openly.
Well, indeed, everyone here has this speculation, because Li Yuan has done similar things. Think about how Li Shan rose from the position of Duke of Guantao County to the King of Handan County.
"I just mentioned it casually... imitating the former Sui Dynasty's selection of Cao Qigui." Li Shan was about to cry but had no tears.
He had made up his mind and had discussed it with Li Shimin through Ling Jing. As long as he did not lose Zhang Shigui, the Yuanzhou manager, Zhang Shigui and he were sworn brothers anyway, so he had a reason to take action.
The others were just temporary ideas. Li Shan asked Yang Wenqian, the general manager of Fangzhou, to test the East Palace... The result surprised him. Pei Ji and Zheng Shanguo didn't know anything. Pei Shiju, the old fox, couldn't see the clues. Instead, Li Shan guessed Feng Lun's reaction was great.
It's fine now, Li Yuan threw the pot on his own head.
Unlike others, Pei Shiju was a little suspicious that Li Yuan and Li Shan were acting. Even if there was no script, there was probably a tacit understanding.
"Since it was Huairen who mentioned it first, His Majesty was furious just now..." Pei Ji's voice sounded a bit sharp, "Huairen still hasn't finished the story."
This is understandable. After all, it is recognized in the DPRK that Pei Ji has the best personal relationship with Li Yuan. Based on this, he has great influence on Li Yuan and became the recognized prime minister.
But this year, Pei Ji's status was shaken.
King Qin Li Shimin officially exercised the powers and responsibilities of Shangshu Ling, which naturally led to the reduction of Pei Ji's authority, and Li Yuan's dislike of the prince also reduced Pei Ji's influence.
Now, someone who can replace him has appeared. In the eyes of all the prime ministers, His Majesty's anger today and his reprimand to Li Shan... all prove Li Shan's influence without a doubt.
Li Yuan was furious when he saw the list at first. You ministers actually kicked the ball to me. Later, when he found out that Li Shanmo was not doing his best, Li Yuan was furious again... This shows that Li Yuan was waiting for Li Shan's recommendation.
In other words, this list is decided by Li Shan!
Pei Ji can't help but feel a bit desolate, "I only hear the new people laughing, but how can I hear the old people cry?"
Seven eyes were focused on his face, even Li Xiaogong's eyes were piercing, but Li Shan did not speak in a hurry, let alone complain. Complaining now has no meaning. He was thinking, thinking about Li Yuan's intentions.
I'll make the decision?
Why should I make the decision?
In fact, the selection of these state officials should be discussed in the Liangyi Palace. This is also the embodiment of the power of the emperor, the prince, the political prince and the prime minister. Why did Li Yuan want to delegate this power?
In fact, among the eight people present, there is one Zhongshu Ling, two servants, and one Pushe. These four people are all prime ministers and assistants. Zheng Shanguo and Tang Jian happen to be one on each side, plus Zhao, who will definitely be able to be mute. The prince, and himself... Li Shan licked his lips and almost guessed Li Yuan's intention.
With so many positions, Li Yuan knew that the two sons would definitely fight for it. He didn't want to intensify the conflict, so he delegated the power of discussion to the next level, and now he singled out himself... This old man is not a good person. He is clearly trying to take advantage of him. serve as hatchet man.
Okay, okay, since you treat me as a gun user, don't regret it!
"Huairen?" Tang Jian's eyes flickered. He and Li Shan didn't know each other in the early years, but the latter was trapped in Guji Town. He sent a letter to Li Jing. Tang Jian was injured in the battle at Tiantai Mountain last year, and it was Li Shan's own hand. Bandaged.
Taking a deep breath, Li Shan stood up, walked to the middle of the room, and said softly: "Of the states in the north of Guan, Xiazhou is the most important. It borders Yanzhou on the left, Yulin on the right, and Yanzhou in the back."
"If the Turks invade the pass, they will attack Lingzhou first and Xiazhou secondly."
In fact, it is difficult to say which way the Turkic army will choose when it sweeps south. Lingzhou is relatively easy to fight, but if it goes south, it will have to chew on the hard nut of Yuanzhou. On the contrary, Xiazhou, the original Shuofang County, is harder to fight, but the following ones The road is fairly smooth, and although there are levels like Luzi Pass, they are still easier to beat than Xiao Pass and Yuanzhou Seventh Level.
"Wu'an County Duke Xue Wanche is brave and good at fighting. He is the most suitable person to serve as the general manager of Xiazhou." Li Shan looked at Pei Ji, "However, Xiazhou was initially recovered and was originally a den of Liang thieves. Although Brother Wanche is good at fighting, he comforted the people, surrendered troops, and governed. The place needs help from His Highness the Prince."
Pei Ji felt reassured and nodded with a smile, "Prince Xima Xiao De said that the Xiao family's uncle in Lanling has the ability to stabilize the place."
Li Shan opened his mouth and gave the most important manager of Xiazhou to Xue Wanche, the prince's confidant. The atmosphere in the room was a bit stagnant, and Chen Shuda and Feng Lun's expressions were not good-looking.
However, Pei Shiju's face turned even uglier.
