The oil lamps of the North Town Mansion are rising. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is said that the son of the princess of Chu is about to give birth, the palace has been in a hurry, and the palace has already sent people to go, it is strange to say, when did the princess not give birth but happened to Liu Chengfeng to return to Beijing, the son of the king of Chu touched the hearts of many people, it is said that the East Palace heard the news overnight, and His Royal Highness the Prince went over the wall from the East Palace overnight.
Liu Chengfeng's relatives and friends were ready one after another, and they didn't dare to sleep all night, just waiting for when they were born, and they would immediately prepare for the ceremony.
However, in the Beizhen Mansion Division, Li Dongdong didn't have the heart to care about this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu gave birth to a child is a very fortunate thing, but at this moment he is a little embarrassed.
It's actually easy for Lianzhou to set up a shelf, but the key to the problem lies in the lack of manpower, if it is said that the military officials are good to say, the Jingshi side grabbed a lot of them, ran to the new army to shout, and guaranteed that dozens of hundreds of people jumped out, even the people who specialize in intelligence management are also there, and there are not many people on the Jinyi Wei side who are watching.
Li Dongdong's headache is civilian, you must know that most of the people who are civil servants have been promoted to become officials, who rarely goes to Lianzhou? If a good official of the imperial court doesn't go to Lianzhou to be an official, isn't this crazy?
Moreover, Liu Chengfeng usually does not have many civil officials in contact, and many civil officials don't look down on him, let alone follow him to eat together.
Therefore, the charter Li Dongdong has drawn up, this matter is easy to do, or according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing more than a political axe plus six Cao and twelve temple supervisors, and then the Chu land is divided into one capital, three prefectures and ten counties, and each official is assigned to take office, which is actually not difficult, and the military position is nothing more than setting up a water division and a land division, and recruiting as appropriate is not a big deal.
According to his predictions, so many institutions, at least more than 300 officials are needed, and some prominent civil servants have at least twenty or thirty, and others can lower some standards, but the standards of these twenty or thirty people can never be loosened, especially the political axe, which is the reform of the system of the feudal state to learn from the Ming Dynasty, to put it bluntly, it is actually the cabinet, but the feudal state also has a cabinet that is obviously suspected of usurpation, so it has changed its name to be called the political council.
The minister of the parliamentary axe is equivalent to the cabinet minister, if something goes wrong with the people here, it is not a joke, according to Li Dongdong's conception, to be able to be the minister of parliament, this is first of all to have experience in participating in politics, it is best to have been a magistrate, you have to have superhuman knowledge, of course, you have to be with the king of Chu, how much the character must be passable, this kind of person Li Dongdong can't find with a lantern, let alone get two or three out.
Now Li Dongdong is a clever woman without rice, under the oil lamp, the whole person is dazed, and all the characters have been passed, but still can't find a single eyebrow, and finally has to eat tea with a wry smile, looking at the dark night outside through the window, and can't help but sigh.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, listening to these footsteps Li Dongdong was very familiar, this was a few night vigil captains of the Beizhen Mansion Division, they were all wearing long boots, which were very heavy, so they creaked when they stepped on the ground.
Li Dongdong couldn't help but think in his heart, couldn't it be that he was born in the palace, so he called someone to report the good news?
He was full of energy, no matter what, although this troublesome matter made him helpless at the moment, but the happy event over there in the palace could not be delayed, if he really came to report the good news, he had to go to see the little prince no matter what.
Sure enough, it was the captain who came in, and after the captain came in, he bowed and saluted, and said, "Mr. Li, someone outside handed a famous thorn, saying that he wanted to meet Mr. Li." ā
There are ...... customers Li Dongdong couldn't help laughing, he was still the secretary of the Beizhen Mansion in the middle of the night, at this time, I had never heard of any guests coming to this kind of place, who was full of food and came here to do something?
He said, "Have you brought the famous thorn?" ā
The captain took the name thorn and was about to hand it over, and said, "The name thorn is written on the name thorn is the Cabinet Minister, Li Dongyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Li." ā
Li Dongdong was stunned, it turned out to be a clan brother, what was he doing at this time? Could it be that he shouldn't be on duty tomorrow morning? This is not right, even if there is something, he asked someone to summon him to the house, why did he come in person?
Now that he knew the result, Li Dongdong didn't go to see the famous thorn, and directly put the famous thorn on the desk, and said, "Quick, please come in, yes, let the tea be brewed in the tea room." Li Dongdong paused: "Just use the tea leaves that the prince usually eats to brew, and I will say hello to the prince." ā
The lieutenant nodded and hurried away.
After a while, Li Dongyang, who was wearing a regular uniform, slowly walked in, he has indeed aged a lot in recent years, he is the youngest in the cabinet, but now he finally can't escape this aging, maybe because of the recent pressure, Li Dongyang's eye circles are black, but when his eyes fell on Li Dongdong, Li Dongyang's eyes couldn't help but pass a trace of kindness.
They are called clan brothers, in fact, their emotions are better than their own brothers, they are not only brothers, but also teachers and students, although they are their own masters, each has their own revenge and ideas, but this strong family affection is constantly being cut off.
Li Dongdong hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother." ā
Li Dongyang smiled slightly, and pressed his hand: "The old man knows, you definitely refuse to sleep again, and you will definitely have to stay up all night, hey...... You and my brother are all working hard, and we have been working for others all our lives. ā
Li Dongdong sat down and said, "Why did my brother say this?" ā
Li Dongyang shook his head, unwilling to continue the topic, and when someone poured tea in, Li Dongyang took a sip of tea, and then nodded and said, "Good tea." After putting down the teacup, Li Dongyang said casually: "When are you leaving?" ā
"Let's go?" Li Dongdong was stunned for a moment, he was really ready to leave, and in the past few days, at least he had to move before the king of Chu, but he didn't tell anyone about this matter, at most, only Liu Chengfeng, the king of Chu, knew, how did the clan brother know that he was leaving.
Li Dongyang sighed and said: "Liu Chengfeng has sealed the vassal king, although he has a lot of talents on hand, but there are not many people who are fluent in literature and ink, since he is the vassal king, he must set up the shelf of the small court, Dongdong, you are his most trusted person, and he is also the most useful person, this matter Liu Chengfeng will definitely be handed over to you, you go to Chu this time, I am afraid that you are going to be an official there, Liu Chengfeng does not know when the old man will leave, but he knows that you have to go." Now Chudi's side is an empty shelf in terms of law and official system, and I'm afraid that you will have to work hard this time. But ......" Li Dongyang said with relief: "Anyway, my Dongdong is also going to have a future, Liu Chengfeng trusts you very much, and he is also obedient to you......
The so-called leading government, in fact, is actually an official position of the vassal state, the feudal states imitated the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty set up a cabinet, they have the same way to set up the political axe, and the Ming Dynasty has the first auxiliary scholar, they have the leadership of the government, in popular terms, the leading government is actually the first assistant of the cabinet, holding the power of discussion, decision-making and administration, high power, is the most important position under the vassal king.
Li Dongyang continued: "I think at the beginning, my brother was still worried about your way out, and I recommended you to go with that Liu Chengfeng at that time, and sometimes I couldn't help but blame myself, you are a scholar, but you let you wander around with a martial artist, I really don't know if it hurt you, but now, now you finally get your wish, and the old man is finally relieved." ā
Li Dongdong couldn't help but say: "Brother's care, Dongdong will always remember it." ā
Li Dongyang shook his hand and said: "You don't have to remember the old man, you will go to the state of Chu in the future, if you don't understand the place, you can send a letter to ask me, you are still young after all, but fortunately, the state of Chu is not a big Ming, the country has small benefits, and, go there, although it is already above 10,000 people under one person, but you must know how to be humble, don't be arrogant, gaining power is not a long-term way, no matter who you meet, you must be courteous and polite, Chu is not a barbarian state, it is also a place of education, it's just that, don't talk about these, It's too much nagging for my brother, in fact, you know these truths for your brother, and it's useless to say more. ā
Li Dongdong couldn't help but sigh and said: "Dongdong hasn't heard his brother's teachings for a long time, but now I can hear it, and my heart is relaxed." ā
Li Dongyang just took a sip of tea, almost didn't squirt out the tea, hurriedly swallowed the tea, and said with a smile: "You, you, let the old man say something, the old man has something serious to say here, but you are still joking." ā
Li Dongdong hurriedly got up serious and said, "I don't know what's the matter?" ā
Li Dongyang said: "The king of Chu is the state of Chu, so there must not be so many virtuous people on hand to govern one side?" Hey, he has a lot of money, but he doesn't like scholars, and the old man doesn't want to take care of his affairs, but he has no one in his hands, so don't call you like a donkey? So the old man was helpless, and for the sake of Dongdong, he had to help one or two. ā
Li Dongyang said, while taking out a roster, said: "There are some people here, some are quite talented but not very satisfactory, and a few are old scribes in the cabinet and the six ministries, although they have no fame, but after so many years of Huan Hai, the ability to do things is one of the best, the cabinet and the ministry affairs, they can act meticulously, but in my Ming Dynasty, everything must be famous, no fame is the ability to reach the sky and no official body, as long as it is on the side of the vassal country, If you are willing to give them an official position, it is necessary to say that it is not difficult to move them to Lianzhou, you take this roster and visit the people in the roster one by one, there will always be many people who are tempted, and then they will make plans. ā
