Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

During the period, Li Qiu talked about the government affairs he was involved in during this period, as well as the problems in the middle, and his own opinions.

The Supreme Emperor couldn't stop nodding when he heard this, his eyes were full of admiration.

Li Qiu's thinking is out of the ordinary, and his vision is much higher than that of ordinary people.

At the same time, the most rare thing is that he is much purer than the previous Du Ruhui when he came to be the prime minister.

It doesn't involve it at all, and doesn't consider the so-called interpersonal relationship and the interests of your own family.

It is completely about the facts, without personal things in it.

This also caused him to sit upright. Even if there were some small mistakes that were unavoidable, they were all positive.

A prime minister in such a state is really rare.

Only under the extremely special circumstances at present can such a special case be born.

Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor also gave Li Qiu some instructions and instructions based on these cases in great detail.

It also gave Li Qiu a sense of enlightenment and deafening surprise.

Finally, the Supreme Emperor focused on commenting on the recent Guo Fushan and Qu Hetai incident.

"What your Majesty told you is correct."

"It's not as easy to employ people as you think."

"Especially the Ministry of War, let alone be ambiguous."

"This Qu Hetai has a superficial background, and the foundation is not very clear."

"Not suitable."

"As for Guo Fushan, he is okay in other aspects, but his ability and personality are completely unsuitable for the position of Shangshu."

"And the most important point is that he is only familiar with you."

"At the most critical moment, when his own interests are involved, he may not be on your side."

"So whether it's from the court's point of view or from your own point of view."

"None of them fit."

"Appointing such a key position once, even if you are open-minded in your own heart, you have no selfishness."

"But wouldn't it be better to choose someone who is more suitable and more assured?"

"In terms of employing people, you still have a long way to go."

Hearing what the Supreme Emperor said, Li Qiu nodded thoughtfully.

In the imperial study, Li Shimin told him how to employ people.

It was completely from the perspective of an emperor.

It's about serving the country and the people.

What the Supreme Emperor said at this time was from another angle.

It's about personal considerations.

While he was thinking seriously, the Supreme Emperor also asked another question.

"Li Qiu."

"For the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, have you considered the process of Mingzhen?"

"It's like if you stand in your Majesty's perspective, would you consider Cheng Mingzhen?"

If it was someone else, the first thing to do was not to think and answer the question of the Supreme Emperor.

Instead, he had to kneel down first, saying that he didn't dare to have unreasonable thoughts.

Li Qiu's thinking mode is different from that of the ancients.

There is no taboo or panic about comparing Li Shimin with the throne.

Then he replied seriously: "Your Majesty, this is just like when I built Youzhou and other thirteen states."

Chapter 748 Appearance

Rare officials like Zhang Yungu and Cheng Mingzhen must be entrusted with important tasks. "

"Even if it is Song You, he is capable of being a servant, or a minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"If it is as you asked, this Cheng Mingzhen is really a suitable candidate for the Minister of War."

"Why don't I recommend this candidate to His Majesty when I have a chance tomorrow?"

At this time, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan smiled gently, then shook his head.

"Although Cheng Mingzhen is capable enough, his conduct is not bad."

"But there are still shortcomings in other areas."

"First of all, he was once built by the prince."

"It's been ignored."

"Secondly, his seniority in court is not enough."

"There are many opponents and few supporters."

"You recommend him now, even if your majesty wants to, you will never appoint him."

"In this way, this opportunity is completely lost."

"Before the new year's day, the wars in various places have stopped."

"Even in the Western Regions, there are only occasional battles and conflicts between scouts."

"At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of War is not very useful."

"Even if this position is vacant, won't the military department still operate as usual?"

"If you really want Cheng Mingzhen to take this position, then you have to wait."

"Wait until the spring of next year, the wars in Western Turks, Tuyuhun, and Gaochang will resume."

"In addition, the bureaucrats and people everywhere began to be restless, and things continued, and the Ministry of War reached its busiest time."

"If you recommend Cheng Mingzhen again, the possibility of being appointed at this time will be much greater."

"What we are talking about now is timing."

"In addition to that, you have other aspects to consider."

"For example, you need to report Cheng Mingzhen's achievements to the court in advance."

"I have told Zixin about this before, and asked him to go and ask the court to take credit for Cheng Mingzhen."

"Also, you still need to find someone who may compete with Cheng Mingzhen for the position of Shangshu."

"Think of a way to find out the reason why they are not suitable to be ministers of the Ministry of War."

"Li Qiu, you are a smart person."

"You should be able to do these specific things."

"As long as you can make a plan and then act, it's not a big problem."

Listening to the explanation and instructions from the Supreme Emperor, Li Qiu really felt like seeing the sun behind the clouds.

It was as if someone had opened a window in front of his eyes, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of the knack of the court.

……

On the other side, in the Eastern Palace.

Dai Zhou came to visit again.

Seeing him coming, Li Chengqian couldn't help frowning.

After seeing the ceremony, Li Chengqian said impatiently: "Master Dai, I don't know why you came to my East Palace today?"

"I haven't been resting well lately."

"If there's nothing urgent, I won't leave you here to talk freely."

Hearing this, Dai Zhou hurriedly bowed to salute.

"His Royal Highness."

"It's still what I said last time. My waist and legs are not very flexible."

"Old diseases of old age."

"I heard that Your Highness, you have a genius doctor from the grassland named Xin Xin."

"The minister is deliberately thick-skinned, and wants to invite him to show the minister."

Hearing his words, Li Chengqian's expression became even colder.

"Lord Dai, I remember that this king told you last time."

"Until my foot disease is completely cured, I will not see anyone."

"If you are not here to handle the case on official business, then please go back."

Seeing the crown prince issued the order to drive away guests, Dai Zhou also tried several times in his heart.

Finally mustering all the strength in his body, he bowed his head and replied: "Your Highness, you can also be a minister because you came here to handle the case."

"I implore Your Highness, please let me meet with you."

After saying these words, Dai Zhou maintained a posture of bowing and saluting.

Even his head was deeply buried in his body, and he didn't dare to look at Li Chengqian's face that was destined to be extremely ugly.

Almost instantly, cold sweat appeared on Dai Zhou's forehead.

I even cried out in my heart.

This time, he really put all his eggs in one basket and exhausted all his courage to say these words.

The reason why Dai Zhou was so nervous was not because of how terrifying Li Chengqian's own aura was.

Dai Zhou was also a prime minister back then, so he wouldn't be scared just because of a person's aura.

It's just because what he is facing right now is the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

The prince of the Tang Dynasty.

The person who will succeed the throne in the future and sit on the dragon chair.

It's too late for others to flatter.

And how could any fool go against Datang and the future emperor?

Anyone with a little brain would probably not do this kind of thing.

Even if you are not afraid of death in wearing a helmet, don't your sons, grandsons, and your family not be afraid of getting hurt?

This kind of thing is more terrifying than death.

But watching the time go by day by day.

But the assassin who assassinated Zhang Xuansu and broke into Furong Garden at night still couldn't find the slightest trace.

This kind of huge pressure, even Dai Zhou is about to be driven crazy.

So without any evidence or reason, he ran into the East Palace for no reason.

At this moment, Li Chengqian, whose face was livid, finally spoke coldly after a long silence.

"Dai Zhou."

"Do you know what you're doing right now?"

"Come to my East Palace for no reason, looking for the assassin?!"

Listening to Li Chengqian's scolding, Dai Zhou sighed deeply in his heart, it seems that today is doomed to return without success.

At the same time, he deeply offended the prince.

"Sir, don't dare."
