What's more, the reform of the Tang Dynasty can almost be said to start from the top, especially when His Majesty, the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin are of the same mind, there is not much they officials can do.
It is simply impossible to fight against the overall situation. Without being able to fight against the overall situation, people must of course follow the trend. Now Datang has a lot of work, and with the emergence of such excellent and useful subordinates, of course they are more willing.
Because this has reduced their burden, it can be said to have greatly reduced their burden. Because of Li Ke's various restructurings, the Shangshu Province has been expanded to more than a dozen departments at one time, and will soon be close to twenty departments.
There are so many departments, and many experienced veterans from the past served as ministers of one department, while there are a large number of vacancies in the following departments.
Without enough talents, of course it will be tiring to work, and they need to do all the work. Now with the addition of this wave of first-class candidates, and their amazing adaptability and ability in various positions, the work in various departments Minister, the veterans couldn't be more satisfied.
Because their work has been reduced, many of them now only need to make decisions, and the specific details have been completed by the people below. In the past, the details, ideas, and judgments were all theirs. Otherwise, how could Yu Shinan, the former Minister of Rites, die at his post?
Of course they have to praise me for feeling so much more relaxed now, not to mention that they are indeed doing things in an orderly manner.
Therefore, when those powerful families ask how these people are doing, of course they have to tell the truth. They don't mind revealing the information, but if you want them to do something against them or do other things, that's impossible. No one is a fool.
Of course, wealthy families are not fools, and they cannot ask these senior officials to do these things, although many of these senior officials themselves may come from their families.
What they want is this news. In fact, when they reach the position of these high-ranking officials, these families no longer ask for anything from them. They only need to know the news, and they can do the rest themselves.
Because these aristocratic families don't want anything to happen to them more than these senior officials, because the background of these senior officials cannot be changed. As long as they exist, without needing anything, their family can take advantage of the situation and get some inside information.
If the other party is allowed to do something illegal and the other party fails, then their family will definitely suffer the same.
After these aristocratic families knew the news, the rules for their actions were very simple, just traditional methods that had been popular for thousands of years.
Funding! Marriage!
Daming Palace, side hall of Xuanzheng Hall.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, and Chang Lin who was waiting next to him were here. Li Shimin and the other three people were sitting here drinking tea. There was a tea table next to them, and Chang Lin was making tea there.
The largest palace in Daming Palace is Hanyuan Hall, which is larger than Taiji Hall. When it was first built, it could be used to hold court meetings. However, Li Shimin has moved into Daming Palace for several months, and he has never held any meetings here. Court meeting.
The court meeting has always been held in Taiji Hall. Although Li Shimin presided over the meeting, he did not want to hold it in Hanyuan Hall. So far, Hanyuan Hall has never held one.
"The auxiliary machine asked you to come here this time, so I won't hide it from you. I believe you have guessed something. I am going to replace the prince." The four of them sat for a while and chatted for a while, and then Li Shimin went straight to the topic. .
The four people here all knew that Changsun Wuji knew before, but they just didn't make it clear before.
Now that Li Shimin suddenly made his words clear, Changsun Wuji was caught off guard, but it didn't matter. After all, he had already been mentally prepared.
"As long as it is good for the Tang Dynasty, the princes have no objections, and I naturally have no objections either." Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment and said.
"Well, to be precise, I'm not just changing the crown prince, I'm preparing to abdicate directly, and then I will become the emperor myself." Li Shimin added.
The three people present were somewhat speechless. To be honest, they had never thought about this. Li Shimin hid it too well. In other words, Li Shimin's idea all along was to change the prince, but they never expected that not only If he wanted to change the prince, he would have to change himself.
"Is this His Highness the King of Qin?" Changsun Wuji couldn't say anything, so he could only bite the bullet and said.
"Yes, you all know that he is the only one who can take over the current Tang Dynasty. I called you here today not only to communicate with you about this matter, but also by the way, you all know the current actions of those powerful families. ?"
"I know, most of the first-class candidates this time are not yet married, because quite a few of them are concubines, second sons, and even collateral descendants of various families. There are also some merchant families and ordinary people. Children from common people’s families. They were previously the type that was not taken seriously.”
"After knowing the abilities of these people this time, most families provided them with financial support and marriage." Fang Xuanling nodded and spoke.
"Well, this is their usual routine. Although it is a bit older, it doesn't matter if the method is old, as long as it is easy to use. After all, there are so many women in various families, aren't they just used to do this? So, how many people have already Is the marriage successful? How did Li Ke react?" Li Shimin nodded and asked curiously.
"It's still in the initial stage, and many people have just started to get in touch with it. As for His Highness King Qin, there is no reaction." Fang Xuanling hesitated and said.
"Didn't do anything?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then asked again.
Marriage seems to have no effect, but if it really happens after marriage, the impact will be very large. After all, these wealthy families can give these young people things they wanted to ask for but could not get.
"Yes, I didn't do anything." Fang Xuanling nodded.
"Don't he know?"
"You should know that Zheng Guogong once mentioned something to His Highness in private." Fang Xuanling said.
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng.
"Yes, I said that His Highness's reaction was very strange." Wei Zheng hesitated.
"Oh? What's your reaction?" Li Shimin became curious.
"His Highness said with a smile, isn't this a good thing? They have a family and a career. Once they have a career, they should start a family. Someone will help them introduce their wives, and they will be assigned by the provincial organization." Wei Zheng replied with a strange expression.
"Organizational distribution? What is this?" Li Shimin was also stunned.
"But let's not talk about distribution or non-distribution. He just said this?" Li Shimin turned his attention back to Li Ke's reaction.
"Yes." Wei Zheng nodded firmly.
For a moment, several people in the room were a little confused. Is that it?
