On the top floor of Daming Palace, Li Shimin looked at the 107 people below with great joy. To be specific, it should be 105 people, two of whom were admitted as Jinshi because he deliberately let them.
Of course, the official positions these two people received were not big.
As for those 105 people, they are in important positions. They were personally selected by themselves!
He sighed a little: "Since the officials related to several major aristocratic families were removed from the imperial court, the number of imperial officials has been reduced by more than half. During this period, I have been under great pressure, and your pressure has also suddenly changed. Damn, I’m so ashamed of you!”
He was talking about the struggle between the five great families, which had reduced the number of people in the imperial court to the smallest since he came to power. Regarding this point, he was in bad shape, and he was ashamed of all the civil and military officials.
At the bottom are Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Yuchi Jingde, and other ministers and ministers except the official department.
They shouted in unison: "It is the duty of a minister to share your Majesty's worries!"
"As long as the court needs it, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Everyone is also happy. With so many people joining us, I will feel more relaxed. The busy days are finally over!
The hundreds of Jinshi below said: "I should dedicate everything and work hard for the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin was very pleased.
Today is his happiest day.
The Queen Changsun next to her was also happy at the same time.
"Very good, because of your background, I hope you can keep your true intentions, don't act rashly, put the people first at all times, and rule the world with me!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the ministers and others shouted in unison.
"Okay, you 107 people, go down first. Someone will naturally take you on board! From now on, Datang will rely more on you!"
Li Shimin said again.
The 107 Jinshi people bowed and left.
At the same time, Li Shimin said with great emotion: "Fang Xuanling, because you recommended so many people this time, there were more Jinshis in the imperial examination. You have contributed a lot, and I must reward you well." That’s it.”
It seems that he is going to make a statement.
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, this is what ministers should do. Choosing talents for the Tang Dynasty is what ministers and every Tang Dynasty person should do. At the same time, these talents cannot be buried. They should succeed and work hard." Officials and nobles, these people are born to be officials! They are the bricks of the Tang Dynasty, building up the wall of the Tang Dynasty that can never be broken!"
"Hahaha, you said it very well, I feel comforted!"
"Yes, we can see Wei Guogong's intentions. The Tang Dynasty needs people like him!"
Queen Changsun also said.
As for other officials, they also said good things about Fang Xuanling.
In this way, everyone is happy.
But suddenly, at this moment, two figures broke into it.
When Li Shimin saw the visitor, he couldn't help but frown.
"Hou Junji, Gao Shilian, what are you doing? Why did you do this?"
That's right, the two people who came in were Hou Junji and Gao Shilian.
They walked to the palace bruised and swollen.
When he arrived at the palace, he was stared at closely by the ministers.
Queen Changsun immediately stood up and walked forward.
Looking at Gao Shilian, he asked: "What's going on?"
Gao Shilian didn't dare to speak, after all, it was their fault.
Hou Junji was also extremely quiet.
"What's going on? What are you doing?"
Li Shimin asked again.
So, maybe the two of them didn't complete what he told them, and they were beaten up?
Eighty percent of it is like this.
When Hou Junji saw so many people here, he was not afraid to say that it was Li Shimin who instigated it. He just said: "Your Majesty, that..."
"What? What happened?"
"We went to Shengtang Group, and then something unexpected happened..."
"Accident? What accident?"
Li Shimin asked.
The two of them felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, you all go out!"
At this time, Li Shimin had to say this.
Then, Fang Xuanling and others went downstairs.
As for the two of them, they saw everyone leaving.
Hou Junji then said: "Your Majesty, we have failed. The Zhenguan Newspaper failed to obtain the right to publish! We have failed!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene became quiet.
"That boy resists the decree?"
Li Shimin asked.
Queen Changsun was at a loss just now, but now she somewhat understands what's going on.
"Your Majesty, are you using Zhenguan Bao?"
Li Shimin said: "Queen, I'll tell you later, I want to hear what Hou Junji has to say?"
Queen Changsun was silent.
Hou Junji then told everything in detail.
"Then this face was slapped by Zhijie?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
Hou Junji said.
He was about to cry.
Gao Shilian was not much better.
He almost cried too.
They are already old, and they were beaten like this by Cheng Yaojin. How will they behave in the future?
But Gao Shilian didn't cry in the end. After all, how could he dare to cry in front of his niece?
"This matter is your fault. Okay, don't mention it anymore."
Li Shimin suddenly expressed this.
This made the two of them puzzled.
Why is this so?
"Your Majesty... we..."
Hou Junji tried to say something else.
Li Shimin interrupted him directly.
But Hou Junji had no intention of stopping.
"Okay, I said, don't mention this matter again. If you still want to mention it, it will not do you any good. Those injured people, you are responsible! If we really want to pursue it, everyone will get rid of it. It doesn’t matter!”
In this case, they can only swallow the bitter water in their stomachs.
After all, there was a mistake first, and Li Shimin didn't want to pursue it, which was just to give them face.
At the same time, this matter was also because of Li Shimin.
"Stay back, let's forget about it!"
The two of them had no choice but to retreat.
At this time, there were only two people in the entire palace, Queen Changsun and Li Shimin.
Empress Changsun said somewhat reproachfully: "Your Majesty, how could you be so reckless?"
This may be the first time she has said this about Li Er.
Li Er seemed to realize that he was wrong and did not respond.
"You want to take away the publishing rights of Zhenguan Newspaper and control Min'er's influence. I know it, but not at this time. If you do this, it will only make him resentful and misunderstand us. His talent From ancient times to the present, no one can rival us. With his existence, the Tang Dynasty will have more possibilities! If we push too hard, we will lose more than we gain!"
"Queen, I was also obsessed for a moment! What should I do next?"
"What should we do? Of course, let someone go find out what Min'er's story is!"
"Then, it's up to you?"
"I don't want to go."
"This matter has to be decided by you!"
"Okay, I'll find time to go take a look this afternoon!"
Empress Changsun could not defeat Li Shimin after all.
Finally agreed.
Before she left, the outside of Shengtang Group was already packed with people.
