Tang Ping said that he thought someone who could be the prime minister came forward, and then more than ten people in the palace came forward.
After all, Dongyue only had two prime ministers, left and right, and his authority was higher than that of the six ministers. It can be said that he was an extremely human minister.
In addition to the original left and right figures, the people who came up were basically at the level of six ministers, but the old and new generations were among them, so there were more than ten people at once.
The only one who was more confused was the imperial censor who started to argue with Wang Qingluan.
"What? Brother Shoucheng is also interested in this position?" Someone beside him asked in a low voice, but he couldn't hide the joking meaning in his words.
Tang Ping had just said that if they were not satisfied, they could leave. Not only did Hu Shoucheng not leave, but he shamelessly decided to run for the left and right prime ministers.
"I consider myself to be quite knowledgeable. Now that Your Majesty has given me this opportunity, I also want to try to see if I can navigate the land of Eastern Vietnam."
Tang Ping gave Wang Qingluan a steamed bun, and then said, "You eat first, and I will interview you. If you have any questions, you can ask them later."
He understood clearly that Wang Qingluan would definitely miss some old friendships, but some of these old ministers didn't appreciate it very much, and they only had their own plans in mind.
Then he might as well come by himself. They don't stay in Dongyue very often anyway. As the Duke of Pingguo of Tang Dynasty, he is not afraid of offending them.
He looked at the first person and asked, "Introduce yourself."
After Wang Qingluan left, Zhen Xiong took away his own people from the court and came to the throne through Queen Mother Liu. Wang Qingluan had no influence on this person at all, so it was reasonable for him to introduce himself.
"My minister Liu Datong was a Jinshi scholar in Hongshun's tenth year, and later served..."
"Stop!" Tang Ping told him to stop: "There's no need to memorize your resume. Just tell me your last name."
Tang Ping knew the resumes of these officials. Some of them could change places three or four times a year. However, they knew it all by heart. If everyone read it to them today, they wouldn't have to do anything.
Liu Datong was holding his breath and preparing to introduce himself to Wang Qingluan, but after Tang Ping said this, he could only agree.
"Yes, I, Liu Datong, am now the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
It's only been more than ten years since Hong Shun was ten years old. He was able to go from being a Jinshi to the Minister of Household Affairs. In addition, his surname is Liu. It goes without saying that he has this background.
But Tang Ping doesn't mind. Anyway, as long as the people here in Dongyue can meet their requirements, their origins are not that important.
"First, tell me what you would do if you sat in the position of the left and right phase?"
"Yes, if I are the prime minister, I should try my best to assist His Majesty, take the interests of the people as the benefit, the law of the country as the basis, the traditional morality as the rule, and the justice of the world as the first. In terms of recruiting scholars, our government should change the past Take the beauty of the article as the primary criterion, and learn from the Tang Dynasty to focus on practicality..."
Tang Ping did not expect that although this person was a nepotist, he really talked about one thing after another, and he was really sharp and original about some of the current shortcomings in East Vietnam.
In fact, Tang Ping naturally didn't understand the matter of managing the country, but later he was surrounded by people such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, etc. He also married Wang Qingluan, and Li Shimin gave him advice from time to time.
It may be difficult to ask him to run a country under the influence of what he has heard and heard, but it is not difficult to hear whether there is any problem with the following words.
After Liu Datong finished speaking, Tang Ping did not comment and just asked: "So what do you want in terms of salary?"
"What?" Liu Datong felt that he had heard wrongly and was dumbfounded.
"Let me ask you, if you were one of the two prime ministers, how much would you like your monthly salary to be?" "This...shouldn't the monthly salary be issued by the imperial court as a matter of routine?"
Wang Qingluan had also finished eating at this time, and said above: "East Vietnam's business is developed, and everyone knows that they are paid according to their work. This will also be the case in the court, everyone will get paid as much as they do. Liu Aiqing thinks that according to what you just said As mentioned above, how much remuneration should you receive per year for serving as one of the two prime ministers?"
"This..." Liu Datong has never
I once met a minister who was asked to set his own salary, and for a while he didn’t know how to answer.
"Master Liu, please rest assured. Or to put it another way, how much salary do you think Mr. Liu needs per year to support his family?"
You must know that in the past, the imperial court distributed salaries according to grades. Some officials at the same level had similar salaries, but some yamen were extremely leisurely, and some yamen had a lot of affairs. Without gray income, naturally no one wanted to go to those yamen with a lot of affairs. .
There are also low-grade officials or low-level staff whose salaries are too low, making it difficult to support their families, so they can only find ways to earn some gray income.
After discussing with Wang Qingluan, Tang Ping planned to use a model similar to that of a modern company to distribute salaries to them.
"I..." Liu Datong hesitated and said, "I think seven hundred stones a year is enough."
The Lumi system implemented in the Tang Dynasty was also the same in East Vietnam.
Seven hundred stones was indeed the salary standard for first-class officials in the past, and he proposed it based on the past salary standard.
Neither Tang Ping nor Tang Ping said whether it was appropriate or inappropriate. Tang Ping continued to ask: "Master Liu, what advantages do you think you have compared to those around you? What are your disadvantages?"
The other people were all offering their hands and lowering their heads. When they heard Tang Ping's question, they all turned their heads to look at Liu Datong.
Liu Datong's heart tightened. This Duke of Ping, Tang Ping, was really asking sharp questions. If he told the truth, he would probably offend all the people around him.
But if you don't say it well, the position of these two phases may not be your turn.
And these people will definitely be asked this question soon. I am merciful now, but I am afraid that they may not be merciful in the future.
If they belittle themselves too much for me, their own hope will be even slimmer.
So after hesitating for a while, Liu Datong decided to tell the truth. Anyway, how these people behave in the world is a matter for the entire court. As long as he doesn't spread rumors, he will be offended.
If you ascend to the throne, why should you be afraid of offending them?
"I feel that the advantage lies in Chen Nai..." Then Liu Datong began to analyze without politeness.
Tang Ping nodded secretly. In this court, forming cliques was the most taboo thing.
This will not only allow them to compete with each other, but also bury some nails for them. In any case, it will be beneficial to the management of East Vietnam.
Sure enough, when Liu Datong finished speaking, several other people looked at him with angry eyes, and they began to organize their words in their hearts for a while on what to say when they were asked this question.
Tang Ping sketched something on the paper in front of him, then looked at the second candidate: "My lord, please introduce yourself."
The second candidate was the former East Vietnam Left Prime Minister Jia Zhongmei. Wearing civilian clothes, he answered the same questions about his policy policies and salary standards. After Tang Ping asked, "If Datang invites you to take up an important position, will you be willing?"
"I feel that my advantage is..." Jia Zhongmei typed the manuscript countless times, but she was stunned as soon as she started speaking.
Why is Duke Ping of the Tang Dynasty so unconventional? Shouldn't you give me a chance at this time to talk about my own advantages?
How do you answer this question? If you say you are willing, you will be disloyal to East Vietnam. If you say you don't want to, this Tang Ping is Duke Ping of the Tang Dynasty. Will you think that I look down on him?
"I have a mother who is over seventy years old in my family. As the only son in the family, it is really difficult for her to travel far away." Then Jia Zhongmei could only think of an excuse to put this question away, and she broke out in a cold sweat behind her back.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ping still didn't let him go and continued to ask: "So what career plans does Mr. Jia have for his future?"
The words that came out of Tang Ping's mouth sounded a bit unfamiliar, but he probably knew what they meant.
It was just this question that made Jia Zhongmei feel that the sweat she had just suppressed started to break out again.
future? career planning?
Does Tang Ping, the Duke of Tang Ping, have any objections to him?
Just now
I am not the main force among those who are embarrassing His Majesty. I am just beating the drum on the side. Moreover, I have a conscience. I just advised His Majesty, and I am really worried about His Majesty's comfort.
Why does Ping Guogong Tang Ping ask such a question?
If he achieves one of the two positions of left and right, he will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and he will already be in the position of an extremely popular minister.
What plans do you have for the future? What positions are there beyond these two phases? Isn’t that the position that His Majesty is in now?
Why do you feel like you are forcing yourself to death with such a question?
"Your Majesty, I am now fifty-two this year. I originally wanted to entertain my grandson at home to support him in his old age. When I learned that Your Majesty was back, I was overjoyed. Since I was summoned by Your Majesty's favor, I naturally wanted to devote myself to East Vietnam. However, I am already old, and it is enough that I can devote some spare energy to serving His Majesty for a few more years. Apart from that, I have no other plans."
These words came out of Jia Zhongmei's mouth, and they were sincere.
Wang Qingluan said: "Jia Qing was highly relied upon by his father back then, and now he is in strong health. How can he say such depressing words? This matter in the court is naturally inseparable from Jia Qing."
These words made Jia Zhongmei feel a little more comfortable, but she was a little scared when she looked at Tang Ping, for fear that some incomprehensible questions would come out of his mouth.
Today's selection of ministers can be said to be unheard of and unseen, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener for the Dongyue court.
Fortunately, Tang Ping did not continue to embarrass him, but continued to ask questions one by one.
This day was lunch, which Tang Ping sent to the main hall for everyone to eat together.
It took a whole day until dark before the left and right prime ministers and six ministers were finally selected.
There were old ministers and new ministers among them, which changed the whole structure of the court.
Wang Qingluan looked at the eight people who were selected and said: "The staff of each department will be drawn up by several of them, and the salary will be the same as today. They will propose it separately, and the report will be given by me. I don't care about giving everyone a more generous salary, but please also ask Everyone can control their own hands and feet, do what they should do after receiving their salary, and don't stretch your hands that you shouldn't."
"There are also two prime ministers, left and right, and six ministers, who are elected every four years. If you can achieve the administrative goals you set out at the beginning, you will naturally be re-elected. If you cannot, then you will have to choose another good minister."
Several people were nervous because they had to come here once in four years, but I have to say that this also made them care about their future work, otherwise they would not be able to achieve their goals in four years and would be replaced. , Not to mention losing power, it would be a big loss.
At the same time, he is also calculating in his mind which candidates are suitable to help him to complete the work of his headquarters.
But at this moment, Wang Qingluan's words were like a ground-breaking statement, making everyone stunned.
"I also plan to select one of the eight to supervise the country on my behalf. Who among you thinks can take on this important task?"
