Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 200

Hearing Li Fu's heartfelt voice, Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly dispelled the thought he had just had.

Offending Li Fu for the sake of a wine shop was really not worth it, so Li Shimin naturally borrowed the topic to distract Li Fu's attention.

"Prince, your grandpa just praised you to me, saying that the mahjong you gave him is good. But you gave your grandpa mahjong as a gift, even to Jinyang. Why don't you give me two pieces?"

Hearing Li Er asking him for mahjong, Li Fu would not be willing, "Okay, the emperor wants to let you know, I think you are busy with political affairs, and I am afraid that sending mahjong will disturb your rest..."

[Hehe, Li Er is also addicted, isn't he going to be the emperor of the ages, why is he thinking about playing mahjong? 】

[However, if you are in the Royal Study Room, Li Er is playing mahjong with a group of princes, the scene is really exciting! 】

While thinking about it, Li Fu invited Li Shimin out of the wine shop, and Li Shimin asked Li Fu in a funny way.

"Prince, don't let Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin know about your winery, otherwise I'm afraid your winery will be ruined sooner or later!"

Li Fu heard the words, but he waved his hands carelessly and said: "Look at what the emperor said, this winery was brought by my ministers to make wine for drinking. The two princes are willing to drink, but my ministers can't ask for it. It's just that you can drink it, but you still want it." The one who gave me money, hahaha..."

[Damn it, if Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde knew that there was a winery here, there is only one possibility, and it must be the old guy Li Er who revealed it. 】

[Li Er, this guy, is not a good person at first glance. He has a sinister look and a big mouth. How can he keep a secret? 】

[Anyway, labor and capital are not afraid, with Cao Shaoqin guarding the East Palace, it is really impossible to let Shen Lian come over, if those two idiots Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde dare to come, he will definitely be overwhelmed and walk away! 】

Li Fu's inner voice made Li Shimin's heart tremble. In order to protect a wine shop, he brought Shen Lian here. Thinking about the scene of being repaired by Shen Lian in front of the steel mill that day, Li Shimin couldn't help but beat him a few times. Shivering.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't expect that he would be so unbearable in Li Fu's heart, but he didn't bother to defend himself and followed Li Fu into his study.

As soon as Li Shimin and Li Fu sat down, someone from the palace brought good tea, and for a while, the fragrance of tea overflowed in the quiet room.

"Prince, I came here today to ask for something." Li Shimin cut to the chase while drinking tea.

"Father, just say what you want. You don't have to say whether you want it or not." Li Fu looked humble.

【Hey, what does Li Er want to do again?What can he ask of me?I'm afraid nothing good will happen! 】

Li Shimin had a black line on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and ignored his thoughts, and continued: "You know what happened in Shu. The smallpox epidemic has been brought under control. However, because of the smallpox epidemic, officials from Shu were found out. But it’s trouble!”

"I see that your subordinate Ma Zhou is capable and decent in handling things, so I want to borrow Ma Zhou from you and let him go to Shu to rectify the official system in Shu for me."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, the corners of Li Fu's mouth curled up.

【That's it?Li Er is eyeing Ma Zhou again?It seems that Ma Zhou can do it, even if he is just a low-key Maxima now, Bole still appreciates him. 】

【However, I am Ma Zhou's real Bole, and it is because of me that Li Shimin discovered Ma Zhou's talent, and that's why he wanted to transfer Ma Zhou to Shu to clean up his mess! 】

The analysis of Li Fu's inner voice was correct. In fact, Li Shimin would understand any of Li Fu's subordinates.

From Cen Wenwen to Ma Zhou, and even Wu Meiniang and Xu Hui, he got to know many people.

Originally, Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou, Wu Meiniang, Xu Hui and others, but after a period of understanding, he found that these officials who worked with the prince, regardless of gender, were extremely talented!
It can even be exaggerated to say that these people's talents in many aspects even exceed the role of Fang Xuanling and other important officials in the court!
[If I guessed correctly, although Li Er wanted to mobilize Ma Zhou, he must have been rejected by Ma Zhou. 】

【Ma Zhou is affiliated to Honglu Temple, but he is also a member of my Tiance Mansion. Even Li Er can't be transferred directly, so he came to the East Palace to find someone I want. Yes, it must be like this! 】

Li Fu's voice fell into Li Shimin's mind again, and Li Shimin couldn't help giving a thumbs up secretly.

Li Fu's analysis was right again. Li Shimin had indeed arranged for someone to contact Ma Zhou and test Ma Zhou's opinion, but Ma Zhou directly rejected it.

After many trials, Li Shimin learned that unless Li Fu nodded, Ma Zhou would never go to Shu, so Li Shimin had no choice but to come to Li Fu to talk to him in person.

"Fu'er, what do you think? If you agree, I will grant Ma Zhou the title of Inspector of Yizhou. After he has served as an official in Shu for a few years and managed Shu for me, he will be transferred back to the capital. He will still be your subordinate at that time." Next, I will agree to any official you want for him!"

When Li Fu heard this, he just smiled lightly, but didn't answer.

[Give me any official I want, as if I can't give it to Ma Zhou! 】

[Inspector of Yizhou, Li Er is really generous. It seems that Shu has really become a mess, otherwise it wouldn't be like this! 】

"My father, I'd better ask Ma Zhou for his opinion on this matter. If he is willing to go, I have no objection."

Li Fu's words made Li Shimin speechless for a moment, he was convinced by this pair of master and servant.

But there is no way, now I have something to ask for, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves, "Prince, I have already asked Ma Zhou specifically, and Ma Zhou said that as long as you nod, he will go!"

"The current bureaucracy in Shu has really reached an outrageous level. After much deliberation, I think Ma Zhou is the most suitable candidate to go. So, Prince, you must help me with this matter!"

When Li Fu heard what Li Shimin said, he shook his head slightly.

【Well, Li Er, the emperor, I don’t know how to be the emperor. Although Ma Zhou is good at handling affairs, it is not a small matter to rectify the officialdom. It cannot be cleared up by Ma Zhou punishing one or two corrupt officials. 】

[Furthermore, the entire Shu region, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, are probably all the same. What’s the point of punishing this one and not punishing that one?It’s not changing the soup without changing the material, treating the symptoms but not the root cause! 】

[If you really want to solve the problem of officialdom and clean up the officialdom, you must first put a cover on the officials' necks, so that they have an assessment mechanism...]

Li Fu's inner voice instantly attracted Li Shimin's attention. He was sitting on the chair, not even daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing Li Fu...
