Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Ye's sincere look, his eyes were complicated for a while, and the wine glass in his hand became as light as a heavy weight.
“I am very pleased that Your Majesty can pick up the pieces and make up for the mistakes before they happen!
Although your Majesty is young, he already has the demeanor of a wise king. In time, he will definitely be a wise king who will be famous throughout the ages!
Since Your Majesty has asked questions, I must tell you everything I know.
I wonder which official of the Ministry your Majesty is asking about? "
Li Ye thought for a while, then gently raised the wine glass in his hand to Liu Mingzhi: "Of course it's all the officials of the six ministries and nine ministers!
My uncle also knows that I am new to the throne and I don’t know much about the character and abilities of the old ministers. Seeing that they are about to retire and return to their hometown, I am filled with worries.
Without you, my pillars and right-hand men, how can I manage this huge country like my grandfather and father.
Therefore, I hope that my uncle can understand my painstaking efforts and difficulties, and select some successors and ministers for me to assist me in creating a prosperous age of Ruitai. "
Liu Mingzhi raised his wine glass and clinked it with Li Ye, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
"Six ministries and nine ministers! Your Majesty is already ready for a big change of blood in the court."
Li Ye looked complicated and nodded silently: "Uncle, I really have a keen eye. Although I can't bear it, I have already made such a plan.
The left and right prime ministers, the left prime minister Wei Yong and Wei Aiqing have already entered official positions, as have the six ministers of the household department Jiang Yuanming and Jiang Aiqing. The remaining five ministers are mixed, ranging from ministers to ministers.
Among the nine ministers, there are many omissions.
If I don't replenish talents for the court in time, once you, the old and important officials, retire and return to your hometown, I will not be able to manage the vast mountains and rivers of Dalong alone.
I have been thinking about it, and I plan to go to the residence of Zuo Prime Minister, Jiang Shangshu and others after the new year. Corporal Li Xian invites them to join the court and serve the court for two more years.
Once the imperial team is stable, I plan to replace the old with a new generation within five years.
However, I also understand that this matter cannot be taken too hastily and needs to be pursued gradually, otherwise it will definitely cause panic both inside and outside the government.
I plan to replace them one by one and select successor talents to fill the vacancies after the elders retire.
It's just that I have only been in charge of the country for a short period of time, and I don't know much about some of the talented people in the court. My uncle has been with them day and night for more than ten years, so he can naturally identify the top people among them.
That’s why I asked this question today.
Let me tell you something that my uncle doesn't like to hear. Although my uncle is still in his prime, he is still in his thirties, and he is already considered a veteran of the court.
He is still the elder of the three dynasties who assisted Ruizong, Wu Zong and me.
If no one comes to pick you up in time, I really don’t know what to do in the future. "
Liu Mingzhi played with the wine glass in his hand, with a hint of bitterness on his half-smiling lips.
"Yes, Your Majesty is right, I am already thirty-two years old, and I can be considered one of the oldest ministers in the court!
Talents come out from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old. It's good, it's good.
Your Majesty is far-sighted and I admire you. "
"Uncle, I don't have any other intentions. You are the King of Side by Side who was personally appointed by my father. You need to guard the northern border for generations and guard the country's borders. You cannot stay in the court for a long time to solve my problems.
I wanted to transfer my uncle back to the court more than once, but I was afraid that Mr. Xia Aiqing would write a letter criticizing me for not respecting the ancestral etiquette and not respecting the late emperor.
Now this is the only option available.
Once again, I hope my uncle can understand my difficulties. "
"Your Majesty is overly worried, I understand, of course I understand.
Your Majesty, please do not forget the sentence stated in the third policy of governing the country in the letter to Your Majesty.
Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness.
As a minister, I should be your Majesty. I will do my best for the court and do the work of dogs and horses.
This is my honor and my duty! "
Li Ye nodded with joy in his eyes, turned around and took the wine bottle from Xiao Dezi's hand: "Uncle, I, a junior, will pour you some wine. Thank you for your unwavering loyalty to the court and your careful teaching to me."
Liu Mingzhi held the wine glass in both hands and rushed forward, unabashedly glancing at Xiao Dezi and the surrounding eunuchs and maids. .
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm brave."
Li Ye looked at Liu Mingzhi and seemed to have realized what he meant. He put down the wine bottle and winked at Xiao Dezi, signaling them to wait outside the hall.
Xiao Dezi nodded respectfully and hurriedly waved his whisk to attract the surrounding young eunuchs. The young palace maids quickly walked out of the palace.
Xiao Dezi even took advantage of the opportunity to bring him to the palace gate.
In an instant, the imperial study became quiet, leaving only Liu Mingzhi and Li Ye sitting across the wine table.
Liu Mingzhi picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, lowered his head and pondered.
Li Ye didn't bother him when he saw this. He took the food to go with the wine and ate it slowly, waiting for his uncle's answer.
When the first ray of the setting sun shone through the crack of the window, Liu Mingzhi slowly raised his head.
"The six bureaus and nine ministers each perform their own duties, each with their own differences. In the prosperous times, the officials are the main ones, while in the wartime, the soldiers and households are the main ones.
Although the unification of the world is just around the corner, it is still unclear when the world will be truly unified. Your Majesty needs to focus on the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In the future, there will be a Minister of Hubu, Pan Yun, the Minister of Hubu, who will be of great use.
However, this fashion needs two years of hard work. Pan Yun is a great talent, but he lacks courage and is a little hesitant at the moment. Since Your Majesty intends to invite Jiang Shangshu to the court again, you can let Pan Yun learn more under Jiang Shangshu and wait for Jiang Shangshu. After retiring from old age and returning to his hometown, Pan Yun will definitely be able to take on his own role in the Ministry of Household Affairs for His Majesty!
As for the Ministry of War, which is in charge of the military, Zhang Mo, the arrogant son of the Protector, can use it.
This person's courage and means are the best choice, and he has lived in the Western Regions for a long time to control the countries in the Western Regions, and has no close friendship with his colleagues in the DPRK.
The Minister of War and the Ministry of War has great authority. This person's skills and connections are just right. He can succeed Song Yu, Minister of War, and fulfill his duty of loyalty to His Majesty.
The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the promotion and demotion of hundreds of officials. It can be said to be the most important thing in the court. Those who serve as Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel need to be upright and upright, not corrupt and bend the law, neglect their duties and sell their officials, and know how to assess the situation and avoid being headstrong and conceited.
Qin Bin, the current governor of Yingzhou, is qualified to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
This person was born into a poor family. When he was studying in the academy, because of his background, he hated the officialdom, but he had no choice but to accommodate him.
Therefore, although this person is not unique in his future position as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he can still focus on one or two things.
The Minister of Rites and the Zongren Mansion, as well as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, are responsible for educating the world. Ministers do not avoid relatives when recommending virtuous people. Now Qi Liang, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, is more suitable.
Although the relationship between Qi Liang and his ministers was relatively close because of his lowly wife Qi Yun, since he entered the dynasty, he had always kept distance from his ministers and behaved like an elegant scholar. Now he is a minister in the Ministry of Rites and is already old. A few years later, Qi Liang He can serve as the Minister of Rites, coordinating with the Imperial Household and the Internal Affairs Office to help His Majesty in enlightening the world.
Minister of the Ministry of Industry......"
Liu Mingzhi kept talking about the suitable candidates for various departments and ministries in the court in the future. Li Ye didn't know when he had taken rice paper and ink pen and buried himself in writing.
This moment seems to have returned to the old days when the emperor and his ministers were dubbing in the royal study, Liu Mingzhi taught Li Ye the policy of governing the country, and the state book.
What harmony between the king and his ministers.
What a polite corporal.
As night fell, Liu Mingzhi's last words finally came to an end.
Li Ye also stopped writing furiously and slowly put the ink pen aside. Li Ye looked at Liu Mingzhi gratefully.
"I would like to thank my uncle for the teaching."
"Your Majesty, please don't do this. Your Majesty can learn from what I said, but it cannot be based on it.
The world is changing and no one remains the same.
Just because these people are suitable for the position I mentioned right now does not mean they will be suitable in the future! "
"I understand, I will use this roster as a reference."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the several candles that were lit at unknown times in the hall and looked outside the hall.
I don't know when the sky has darkened.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and it's time for me to retire."
