Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

At this time, Guo Fushan sighed softly, and said slowly: "Li Xiang, to tell you the truth, I have worked with Qu Hetai for seven or eight years."

"It's also considered familiar."

"The relationship is also good."

"His ability as a person is quite good."

"At least not under me."

"I think back then, when the war was tight and the military department was short of personnel, someone proposed to let Qu Hetai be the servant."

"I don't want to be rejected by Master Du."

What Guo Fushan said before was within Li Qiu's expectations.

A good old man like him, who is hardworking and hardworking, really has no enemies in the court.

I will never do things like cut off people's wealth and hinder people's progress.

But the last sentence he said really exceeded Li Qiu's expectations.

Before in Prince Li Qiu's residence, Qu Hetai also said many times how much Du Ruhui valued him and so on.

But right now, what Guo Fushan said is not the case.

Based on Li Qiu's understanding of Guo Fushan, he would never lie to himself about this kind of matter.

"You said Master Du personally rejected Qu Hetai's appointment back then?"

"Could it be that he thinks he's not capable enough?"

Guo Fushan shook his head at this moment.

"It's not like this."

"When Master Du was in office, he also praised Qu Hetai's ability."

"Many things are also willing to be entrusted to him."

"As for why Master Du rejected Qu Hetai as his servant."

"I don't really know."

"It's just that there was a banquet in the court once, and I also said a few good words to Qu Hetai on the way to send Master Du back to his residence."

"I heard what Mr. Du said that time, it may be that this Qu Hetai is not at ease."

"As a doctor, he always wants to take the initiative to do things that belong to the scope of the servant's job."

"You also know that in the Ministry of War, such things are quite taboo."

"And Master Du's temper is also vigorous and resolute, without mercy."

"It may have had that result."

"Of course, these reasons are all my own groundless guesses, too many to count."

"In my heart, I still very much hope that Qu Hetai can achieve the position of Minister of War."

"With his great help, the operation of the Ministry of War will be much smoother."

"And, what happened outside the palace gate today, my subordinates also saw it."

"I still feel terrified."

"I admire Qu Hetai's courage even more."

"So for you, Li Xiang, you should recommend him out of emotion and reason."

Hearing this, Li Qiu nodded.

"Qu Hetai is a person who can feel that he is really persistent in becoming an official and being promoted."

"It can even be said that in order to get a similar opportunity, he was a little too aggressive."

"But turn around and think about it."

"An official with no foundation and background like him may not get such good opportunities a few times in his life."

"It's no wonder he can't fight for it desperately."

"And what I care about is that as long as he can do things for the court wholeheartedly and has the ability to do the affairs of the Ministry of War well, that's enough."

"As for the so-called origin and background, they are all secondary."

After chatting with Guo Fushan, Li Qiu returned to the Political Affairs Hall.

He also talked to Fang Xuanling about personnel vacancies and appointments in the Ministry of War.

After all, Fang Xuanling has experience and experience, and can help him check.

At the same time, the affairs of the Ministry of Officials and the selection of officials are also in charge of Zuo Pushe.

If there is Fang Xuanling's nod of support, then the matter of Qu Hetai as the servant and Guo Fushan as the minister is basically settled.

However, something was beyond Li Qiu's expectation.

When Fang Xuanling heard that he recommended Qu Hetai and Guo Fushan, Fang Xuanling frowned.

Based on Li Qiu's understanding of Fang Xuanling.

He made such an expression, which was very obvious disapproval.

"Li Qiu, regarding Guo Fushan, no matter in terms of character, qualifications, or ability, he is still not good enough to hold the post of minister."

"But you can report him up."

"After all, there is a shortage of people in the military department, and there is no other better candidate."

"And this Qu Hetai."

"Apart from ability, do you know much about him?"

Hearing this, Li Qiu naturally shook his head.

"Li Qiu, the appointment of officials by the imperial court is far from being such a joke as you imagined."

"Especially the Ministry of War, which involves the most important military secrets of our Tang Dynasty."

"Appointing and employing people, we must strive to be safe."

"But this Qu Hetai has no foundation and no background."

"It's not within the scope of reuse by the court."

"In the Ministry of War, it is already the limit for him to be able to sit in the position of doctor."

"However, if you want to cultivate him extra, you can transfer him to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites to be a servant."

"That's perfectly fine."

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Qiu couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Master Fang, what you said is right."

"But right now, the military department is short of people."

"How can I still send people out?"

"As for the appointment of personnel between the DPRK and China, I think it is still too rigid."

"There must be some kind of foundation, origin, background, family status."

"In this way, if you go around the old, the officials in the court will be the children of the gentry."

"Those officials with real talent and character don't get a single chance."

Chapter 734

Hearing Li Qiu's words, Fang Xuanling gave him a meaningful look.

"Li Qiu, think about yourself."

"Is it the same with no birth, no background, no family status?"

"But now you are not also the governor of Youzhou, the king of Beiping, and the right servant of Shangshu?"

"And look at the court, besides you, there are also Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou and many other talents who are also highly valued."

"So, Your Majesty and the court are not exactly the inflexible ones you imagined."

"Our current selection system for officials in the Tang Dynasty does have many drawbacks."

"But it's not at all as useless as you think."

"It's like when Keming was alive, you were the most important person."

"I want to use you everywhere."

"But he suppressed Qu Hetai's promotion at the beginning."

"Among them, he still has his own considerations."

"I also know that you have your own opinions in your heart."

"I may not persuade you to move."

"As for the matter of Guo Fushan and Qu Hetai, you can also report it and give it a try."

Listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Qiu thought seriously for a moment.

In the end, he nodded and still decided to recommend Qu Hetai.

Li Qiu really attached great importance to Qu Hetai's matter.

I also thought about it for a long time.

Because this is also the first time he has fully relied on his own vision and ability to know and employ people.

In the past, those people he used, such as Zhang Yungu and Fan Xing.

They all have very detailed past achievements and various praises and evaluations.

But this Qu Hetai doesn't account for either of these two aspects.

You can only see it with your own eyesight and ability.

……

On the other side, in the Imperial Study Room, Li Shimin had already inquired clearly about what happened this morning.

So he frowned and called Prince Li Chengqian over.

Seeing Li Shimin's restrained anger, Li Chengqian couldn't help but start beating his heart.

He was instinctively afraid of his own father.

"Royal father, did you send someone to find your son?"

At this time Li Shimin raised his head and glanced at him, then said softly, "Prince, tell me what you think about the matter between you and Li Qiu outside the Taiji Gate today."

On the way to the imperial study, Li Chengqian had already listened to the eunuch chief Wang Gui quietly reminding him.

His Majesty's summoning of the prince today may be related to the incident this morning.

Looking at it now, as expected.

In the palace, there are still several chief eunuchs.

But only Xu De and the few people around Empress Changsun knew Li Qiu's true identity.

And this chief eunuch, Wang Gui, is relatively close to the East Palace.

Listening to Li Shimin's question, Li Chengqian organized his words, and then said: "Father, outside the palace gate this morning, that Peking King Li Qiu was very rude."

"Eloquent and aggressive."

"Just like the merchants in the market."

"I have not been able to quarrel with him for a while."

The answer Li Chengqian handed over made Li Shimin very angry and quite dissatisfied.

"You keep saying that Li Qiu is a businessman in the market."

"And you have read the books of sages and sages since you were a child. How many famous Confucian teachers in the world have you changed?"
