After meeting each other, it soon came time to go to court. To be honest, today was just an ordinary court meeting, but because of Li Yan's presence, everyone felt a little strange. After all, they had never gone to court with a woman before. What a novel experience.
After going to court, Li Shimin smiled and spoke first: "Today is actually an unprecedented pattern in the history of the Tang Dynasty. For the sake of the people of the world, our Tang Dynasty has the courage to break the old rules and appoint female officials for the first time. Officials of important departments of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, for the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty, we do not hesitate to promote talents in an exceptional way. Those who are capable will be promoted and those who are mediocre will be demoted! In the future, we will not look at relationships, only based on ability."
As soon as Li Shimin said these words, some of the officials below had somewhat strange expressions. The way His Majesty spoke was a bit like His Highness the King of Qin, opening and closing his mouth for the sake of the people.
Of course there's nothing wrong with saying that, but isn't the prerequisite that we can't find the right person?
Another special promotion? This... this can no longer be considered an exception, this is a breakthrough. Many scholars are still studying at this age. This one is already a third-level master... This is already the highest level, right? Is it possible that you can let her directly become the governor of the three provinces?
"If you have any opinions or thoughts on this matter, you can bring it up directly. If you don't have any opinions, then dear friends, you can start." Li Shimin said with a smile.
The hall immediately became quiet, and after waiting for dozens of seconds, no one spoke. Nonsense. If you had any objections, you would have raised them long ago and wouldn't wait until today's court meeting. Since no one raised them before the court meeting, then there is no objection.
"Your Majesty, as a provincial minister, when appointing Minister Li Yan and the ministers of the Central Bank, I asked the following censors and others for their opinions, and everyone had no opinions." Wei Zheng stood up and said.
The top officials in the three provinces have different titles. The top official in the Shangshu Province is Shangshu Ling, but Li Shimin once served and was not appointed later. Instead, Zuo Pushe has always been the top official. The top official in the Menxia Province is Shizhong, a total of two people.
The highest official in Zhongshu Province is Zhongshu Ling. These positions are all of the third rank, but the rank of the official position is different from the rank of the person holding the official position. Just like Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling are all Sikong, that is to say, They are all genuine.
However, after the restructuring of the three provinces and six ministries is completed, Li Shimin will definitely change these grades, especially the subordinate relationships will definitely have to be re-determined. For example, if the provincial capital of Shangshu is really finalized as the administrative agency that leads the subordinate departments, then regardless of the Shangshu order Whether it is the second grade of the real job or the first grade of the real job, they need to be re-established.
As a supervisory agency, the Menxia Province is responsible for these aspects. If Wei Zheng speaks like this, there must be no objection.
"Well, that's right. My dear friends, if you have something to say, you can tell me something." Li Shimin nodded.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Li Yan, who was sitting in the front row, stood up and saluted.
Everyone: "..."
Good guy, the new girl... Well, Li Shangshu is quite positive!
"Speak." Li Shimin nodded, his face calm.
"Your Majesty, the Central Bank of the Tang Dynasty was the main unit responsible for the central financial business of the Tang Dynasty when it was first established, and the Central Bank was responsible for managing the treasury and all assets of the Tang Dynasty. In other words, according to the current situation, I believe that the most critical thing is to completely separate your Majesty's private treasury and the Tang Dynasty's treasury, so as to facilitate asset management in the future." Li Yan said calmly.
Li Shimin: "..."
Good guys, you are not a couple yet, but this guy looks so similar, right? As soon as you come to power, you should first ask for something from your father, right?
Hiss... Many other ministers took a breath. Is there anyone more iron-clad than Zheng Guogong? Are you going to separate His Majesty from the treasury just after taking office?
Fang Xuanling was also a little speechless. After all, I am also a Zuopushe. Why don't you discuss the following with me? Now let's go big.
Fortunately, Li Ke told Li Shimin about this, so Li Shimin was not unprepared. However, Li Shimin wanted to tease this future daughter-in-law. He wanted to see that Li Ke had always put Li Yan in this position. Is she prepared to bear this pressure? Can you bear it?
"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. The entire Tang Dynasty belongs to my Li family, do we need to divide it so clearly?" Li Shimin said in a calm tone.
"Your Majesty, the former Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty also thought so, so now we are in the Tang Dynasty." Li Yan had no expression on her face, still looking serious.
Wei Zheng has a bit of toothache... Good guy, His Highness King Qin won't come to court anymore, and instead he brings a little wife... This talk... is tougher than that of me, Wei Zheng.
This feeling is exactly the same.
Many fourth- and fifth-grade ministers sitting in the court couldn't help but look at each other, "hiss" They were originally planning to find trouble, but are they still looking for this trouble? I go.
The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched. Why, you and your future husband don't know how to chat, do you?
"It's okay, don't imitate Li Ke. He talked like this since he was a child, and I don't know how many times he was beaten by me." Li Shimin couldn't hold it back and said.
Li Yan said with a calm face: "Yes, Your Majesty, as the saying goes, there is no rule without rules, and the emperor's wisdom will make the country strong. The Tang Dynasty can be as strong as it is today, all because of your majesty's wisdom. If your majesty does not have a heart of strict self-discipline, It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to be so stable and getting stronger and stronger."
"From the empire to the homes of the people, rules are the foundation of everything. The result of complete indulgence is chaos, just like limited freedom is freedom, otherwise it will be like the beasts in the jungle, only the weak can eat the strong. In reality Even wild beasts have rules. Among the wolves on the grassland, the alpha wolf enjoys the best, but at the same time, the alpha wolf will also leave enough food for the wolves below to prevent them from starving to death. "
"With your majesty's wisdom, it is impossible not to know the benefits of such rules, so I think your majesty just wants to teach me, so I will directly report to your majesty the relevant asset division plan calculated by the central bank."
Li Shimin was satisfied, look, look, she is a well-educated lady, look at that bastard, how could he say such nice things?
"Well, I wish that bastard could speak half as well as you. What you said makes sense. The royal family and the country's treasury should naturally be separated, so that even if a less diligent emperor appears in later generations, the country will not be shaken. Of course, I cannot be that short-sighted person." Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said.
