"Cui Shenji has met your Majesty."
After seeing Li Shimin, Cui Shenji bowed respectfully.
Regarding etiquette, Cui Shenji knows better than Wei Shuyu.
"No gift."
Li Shimin waved his hand: "Shenji, why are you making noise outside the Tai Chi Hall? You know you have committed the crime of rushing into the court."
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
"What's the matter?"
"I think the next development of the Ministry of Commerce can start from the Escort Agency..."
Cui Shenji immediately explained the concept of the escort agency to the court.
They are tough but not stage frightened.
In the court hall, it can be said that it is equally emotional and fascinating.
"What do you think, dear friends?"
Li Shimin asked after pondering for a moment.
"His Majesty."
Wei Zheng immediately took a step forward: "I agree with the matter of the escort agency."
"1. It can bring the world's bandits back to the Tang Dynasty."
"Two, people don't need to be afraid when going out."
"Third, it can increase Datang's economic benefits."
"Fourth, the court can get another income."
"five……"
Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng.
Why are you so active?
This escort agency must have been taught by your precious son, right?
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
All the ministers agreed.
There are so many benefits, even if they want to refute, they can't find an excuse.
"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion."
At this moment, Changsun Wuji stood up again.
"Ai Qing, do you think this policy is bad?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty, this is not what I meant..."
Changsun Wuji bowed and said: "What I mean is that after Wei Shuyu resigned from office, the Shang Department was leaderless. The top priority now is not to implement policies, but to find an official who can lead the Shang Department."
Changsun Wuji's words were like a stone dropped into water, enlivening the atmosphere in the entire court.
The ministers all had eyes full of enthusiasm.
"oh?"
Li Shimin naturally saw this scene, but still asked calmly: "I wonder who Aiqing can choose?"
"The Ministry of Commerce is innovative and has unconstrained ideas."
Changsun Wuji bowed and said: "I think that letting the older generation take charge may limit its development. The Tang Dynasty should give some opportunities to young people and gradually train them to become the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I propose that the crown prince should serve."
As soon as these words came out, many ministers frowned.
Originally they wanted to refute the young man's lack of qualifications and lack of stability, but Changsun Wuji mentioned the prince...
The officials couldn't help but look at Li Shimin.
If Li Shimin agrees, no matter how much they say, it will be useless.
"Your Majesty, I beg to differ."
At this moment……
Li Xiaogong suddenly stood up: "The Ministry of Commerce is mainly responsible for the affairs of merchants."
"Businessmen have always cared about everything."
"As the crown prince, the prince should be open-minded and magnanimous."
"As the Great Tang Dynasty, the emperor should have the power to swallow up mountains and rivers!"
"The two are essentially contradictory."
"I think it is not appropriate for the prince to be responsible for the Ministry of Commerce."
The ministers nodded.
This is to the point.
Careful thinking may develop into resentment, which is a taboo for a king.
"Then I wonder who the prince of Hejian County is?" Li Shimin gave Li Xiaogong face.
With Li Xiaogong's merits and knowledge, he deserves Li Shimin's good looks.
"I recommend the dog to be a righteous man."
Li Xiaogong bowed: "Chongyi has been working in the Ministry of Commerce for some time. He works hard every day and does not dare to slack off at all."
"I think Chongyi is the most suitable candidate!"
The ministers frowned.
To be honest, except for Wei Shuyu in the Shang Department.
Li Chongyi is really the oldest one.
"I object."
Changsun Wuji retorted: "Although Li Chongyi spent many days in the Ministry of Commerce, he was mediocre and made no achievements at all."
"On the contrary, I also heard that he often made mistakes, neglected his duties, had fun with businessmen, etc..."
"How can you lead the Ministry of Commerce if you are so slack on it?"
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong immediately became angry.
"Changsun Wuji, speak with evidence."
"If you dare to slander my son again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Li Xiaogong clenched his fists and stepped forward step by step.
With military exploits to protect his body, he can be lawless in the court.
The more absurd he is, the more relieved Li Shimin is about him!
Changsun Wuji glanced at him casually...
"Whether this is true or not, can't we just ask some officials from the Ministry of Commerce?"
"Don't say I'm covering up."
"I have not recommended any officials from the Ministry of Commerce."
Didn't you recommend it?
You were competing with the old Wei family, so you didn't dare to recommend it, right?
The ministers secretly despised him.
"King of Hejian County."
Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Chongyi is more than calm, but not enterprising enough. He has not made any achievements in the Ministry of Commerce these days, so I may not be able to convince the public..."
Li Shimin's meaning is obvious... Li Chongyi is not qualified!
But considering Li Xiaogong's face, he still said it tactfully.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I made the recommendation without knowing the reason." Li Xiaogong bowed and retreated.
But he made up his mind to give his son a good meal when he got back.
You said that as long as you had some outstanding political achievements, I would not be so passive in the court!
"Do you still have a candidate for your love?" Li Shimin asked again.
"Your Majesty, I recommend the King of Wei!"
Changsun Wuji continued to recommend.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai are both his nephews. Although he prefers Li Chengqian in his heart, it is better than having this position taken away by outsiders.
"no."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuanling stood up and retorted: "The King of Wei is getting older and has reached the age where he needs to go to the fief to take up a post. If he takes on this important task, what will happen to his fief?"
Li Shimin frowned.
He couldn't bear to let the little fat man go to the fiefdom to take up his post.
"His Majesty……"
At this moment, Gao Shilian stood up and helped: "The Ministry of Commerce is in charge of huge amounts of property. I think it is better for someone from the royal family to take charge."
"Gao Shangshu's words are wrong..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stood up and refuted: "The Ministry of Commerce is a ministry of the world, and it is not the private property of the royal family. How can we generalize?"
"If according to what Gao Shang Shu said, my Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the world's money and food, should I resign?"
All the officials nodded.
Royal dominance is not conducive to the world.
"Your Majesty, I recommend..."
"I object, but I recommend..."
The court was like a vegetable market, and the courtiers began to rush to speak.
Li Shimin's head was pounding after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, I propose that Cui Shenji be appointed."
At this moment, Cui Yixuan stood up.
Uh-huh...
Everyone looked at Cui Shenji, who had a runny nose, and felt their scalp numb.
If Cui Shenji holds such an important position, wouldn't he be laughed to death?
Cui Yixuan didn't care...
Because Cui Shenji is qualified to compete!
"Jier proposed the idea of the Escort Bureau to benefit merchants all over the world and disrupt the power of bandits..."
"I think it is most appropriate for him to execute it!"
"Furthermore, Ji'er has been with Wei Shuyu since the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce."
"Every day I go to Wei Mansion at sunrise and return at sunset."
"The wind blows and the rain blows, never stops..."
"I think that Ji'er knows Wei Shuyu and the Shang Department the best!"
Damn it.
All the ministers were startled.
Judging from the apparent rhetoric, Cui Shenji is really the most suitable person to take the role!
But...you can't fool us into thinking we are foreigners.
Who in Chang'an doesn't know your son's virtue?
