Chapter 960: Li Chengqian's counterattack
Chapter 960
Those officials of the court suddenly said that they wanted to establish a future, which surprised Li Chengqian, although this matter was indeed discussed outside before, but he didn't expect that those people would suddenly be in trouble today.
"Okay, the matter of the future is not something that can be discussed overnight, and I am still thinking about it!" Li Shimin slapped the table and spoke, and the ministers below also looked at Li Shimin.
"Don't discuss this matter, if you don't stand up, I have my own considerations, and I won't discuss this matter!" Li Shimin continued.
"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the stability of the country and the well-being of the people, and it has to be discussed, and now it is rumored that this smallpox is caused by the discord between yin and yang in the court, please consider it carefully!" At this time, an official of the Cui family stood up and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter can no longer be delayed, a few years ago, we were able to understand Your Majesty, but now, Sheji needs a queen!" Wei Ting also stood up at this moment and said to Li Shimin.
"Okay, I've said it, it's over!" Li Shimin stood up as he spoke, waved his hand at those ministers and said, and then said to a eunuch beside him to retreat from the dynasty, and the eunuch immediately shouted to retreat from the dynasty, and Li Chengqian was also standing there, he was thinking, how to deal with those officials of the family, they actually dare to talk about the matter after the establishment now, so what should they do?
This prince is the eldest son of successively, and he is also the eldest son of Li Shimin, and now they dare to discuss this matter publicly, but they obviously don't take themselves seriously, and they really need to deal with a group of people.
Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace angrily, and began to review the list of officials appointed by the Ministry of Officials, and at the same time, he wrote down two orders, and transferred the officials of the two families to the remote capital to the Protectorate, and asked them to go there to serve as local officials.
The other is to test Li Shimin's meaning to see if he will agree, if he agrees, then it means that what he said to himself before is true, if he does not agree, then he needs to fight back.
After writing it, Li Chengqian asked people to send it to Shangshu Province and asked them to send it!
"Your Highness, it's not appropriate to do this, in this case, those officials will know that Your Highness, you are taking revenge on them!" After Gao Cheng saw the recital, he said to Li Chengqian. "Lone is to let them know. If they don't let them know, they will continue to talk about the future, even if they know that Lone is revenge, what can they do with Lone? Li Chengqian sat there and said coldly.
"Yes, they won't be fine, but if they protest to His Majesty, it won't be troublesome, right? I still need Your Highness to explain, it's very troublesome now, and it's not good to be summoned by His Majesty for questioning at this time! Gao Cheng continued to remind Li Chengqian and said.
"It's okay, send it over, you have a plan!" Li Chengqian was still determined to send it over.
"Your Highness, if you want to deal with the family, then you need to make up your mind, not like now, or, completely cut off their thoughts!" Gao Cheng thought about it for a while, looked at Li Chengqian and said, after Li Chengqian heard it, he turned his head to look at Gao Chengqian.
"Your Highness, those people are very old, Your Highness can completely let people start preparing to replace them, for the older ones, you can let them return to their hometowns, and those who are old are gone, so that they can have power, and they can also give those families a warning!" Gao Cheng opened his mouth to speak, and Li Chengqian heard it and thought about it carefully.
"If you are old, let them go back to enjoy their old age, how good?" Gao Cheng continued to whisper to Li Chengqian,
A Jiazi is sixty years, in ancient times, there are not many people who can be sixty years old, and they are also very old, although those people in the family are very well maintained, but they are also slow.
"Well, great idea!" Li Chengqian thought about it for a while, nodded, and then looked at Gao Cheng and said: "You picked out the people who went to Jiazi, mainly from the family, and they should be allowed to go back, didn't my father send a group of officials up before?" Then these old people should also go down! ”
"Yes!" Gao Cheng heard it, nodded with a smile, and then went to do it, Li Chengqian continued to look at the chapter, and soon, there was news from the court, the two officials were put outside the Saiwai by Li Chengqian, and went to those capital protectors to take official positions, you know, those two officials are in their fifties,
If you go to Saiwai, whether you can arrive safely is a question, let alone go there to take up a post, after the officials of the family learned the news, they were very angry, so they sent someone to find Li Shimin, but Li Shimin didn't see it at all, the two officials had no choice but to hang up the seal and go, not to go to the Saiwai office, and resigned from the official position.
And Li Chengqian immediately arranged for his own people to go up, and on the court's side, there were rumors immediately, saying that if they are on Jiazi now, or about to be on Jiazi, they should also go back to recuperate, and when those officials of the family heard this, they were so anxious that they couldn't do it, and there were more than ten of them who were on Jiazi, all of whom were important officials of the court, and if they were replaced, it would be a huge blow to the family.
"It's too hasty, it's too hasty!" After Li Shimin learned the news, he immediately sighed.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is like this, it may cause a backlash from the family, and they will definitely impeach Your Highness!" Fang Xuanling stood there and said to Li Shimin.
"I know, however, they are indeed old, and they also need to vacate their positions and let the old officials come up! The idea is good, but the way is too radical, not good, in this way, you go and talk to the officials of the family, and the vacated position they have made is still for the officials of the family to take over! Li Shimin thought about it for a while and said to Fang Xuanling.
"Yes, what about the vacant positions of the officials below?" Fang Xuanling immediately asked.
"Obey Gao Ming's arrangement, after all, there are many officials below, and it is impossible to give them all to the officials of the family!" Li Shimin smiled and said.
"Yes, but you can't give a few, right?" Fang Xuanling heard it, and smiled He knew Li Shimin's plan, now those elderly officials, their grades are very high,
But if you want to talk about real power, there is really not much, the real power, that is the Shangshu and Shilang of the six departments, as well as Dali Siqing and Shaoqing, and the other is the officials of the state capital below, and there are still many high-grade officials in the court, but there is no real power, which is equivalent to those advisers in later generations, Fang Xuanling knows that if Li Shimin plays such a hand, it is equivalent to hollowing out the power of most family officials.
"Well, I also give, I can't say that I won't give any of them, it still depends on the person, if it's a talent, of course I will give it!" Li Shimin said with a smile.
"Yes, though, I don't think they'll agree, after all, they also know the importance of these positions!" Fang Xuanling heard it, looked at Li Shimin and said. "Then let them agree to Gao Ming's proposal, now that Gao Ming has said it, he is the prince, I can't suppress his enthusiasm at this time, I still have to encourage him, so as long as it's not a big mistake, I won't correct his orders!" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and said.
"Understood!" Fang Xuanling immediately said that as a person who has followed Li Shimin for so many years, of course he understands Li Shimin's actions.
"It's hard work, by the way, that kid Gao Yang gave birth to a few months ago, is it fun?" Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling with a smile.
"It's fun, I'll laugh now!" When Fang Xuanling heard this, he said with a smile.
"Well, those boys before were all knighted, right? Okay, this kid, let's also reward the viscount, let the Elders' House pass it when the time comes, in addition, this kid has been doing things very steadily lately, does he want to go down to serve as a magistrate, or does he want to serve as a prefect in the army, I think he seems to like force very much, you as his father, what do you mean? Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty for the two of them, as for the bereavement, well, although it is five big and three thick, but if he really joins the army, the minister is worried that he does not have this ability, I see, it is better to let him go to the local government as an official, this child is kind-hearted, I think of the place, although I dare not say that it will benefit one party, but it will not harm one party, this is enough!" Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin.
"Okay, then you can take a look, see when it is appropriate, what place is suitable, you come and talk to me, I will let him go below, and there is no hurry, now Gao Yang has just given birth, let them act at this moment, Gao Yang will blame my father at that time!" Li Shimin said with a smile and touched his beard.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When Fang Xuanling heard this, he said happily to Li Shimin, he also knew that this was Li Shimin's compensation for himself, and he would talk to those families by himself, but he would face a lot of pressure!
After Fang Xuanling went out, Li Shimin also went to the window and looked at the situation outside.
"Your Majesty, the weather is not bad now, do you want to go to the back garden to have a look, Your Majesty hasn't been to the Forbidden Garden for a while!" Wang En came over and smiled at Li Shimin and reported.
"Oh, too, forget it, don't go, go to the Peping Mansion, I want to go and see those two girls, they haven't been here recently, I guess I'm angry in my heart!" Li Shimin said to Wang En with a smile.
"Your Majesty, how can you be, the two princesses are so sensible! It is estimated that there is something busy, and I will not be able to get out of it for a while! Wang En immediately smiled and said to Li Shimin.
