Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1057
There was a vague lament in the room, His Majesty refused to catch the ball!

A volley kicked the ball back again!

What everyone was thinking about was not just Li Yuan kicking the ball back. Pei Ji, Feng Lun, Chen Shuda and others all had ugly faces. It's because the extra power in Zaifu's hands will disappear.

However, Li Shan didn't care much. In his opinion, the recommendation system similar to that of Cao Qigui selected in the former Sui Dynasty was born out of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system of 300 years, and people like himself were Zhongzheng officials in the early years.

Although the imperial examination system was not perfect in the Tang Dynasty, a large number of children from aristocratic families became officials through the imperial examination, which led to a rapid rise in the status and importance of the imperial examination. Among the three hates, he failed to enter the imperial examination.

Therefore, this temporary organization will definitely not exist for a long time. Li Shan guessed that it was just a casual mention of himself a few days ago, and Li Yuan came up with it temporarily... It may be possible to turn back history, but Li Yuan is not an idiot.

Pei Ji sighed, but saw that the official servant in front of him hesitated and did not retreat, "Huh?"

The servant of the official department turned his head to look at Li Yuan, "Your Majesty is asking His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

Li Shan felt something was wrong, "Your Majesty asked Gu?"

"Yes." The Minister of the Ministry of Officials said dryly, "Your Majesty asked His Royal Highness the King of Wei for any recommendation..."

Tang Jian smiled, "How do you answer?"

"I fell asleep in the afternoon and woke up at dusk." The voice of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was a little low, "Your Majesty was furious, and blamed His Royal Highness Wei Wang for not doing his best, and..."

"what?"

"It was also mentioned that His Royal Highness the King of Wei proposed such an official selection, but now he ignores it..."

Li Shan's face was about to froze, Li Yuan, you shameless person, throwing the blame on me time and time again!
You bad old man!

Believe it or not, I will send you to the lake to blow the cold wind!
Watching the Minister of the Ministry of Officials retreat, Li Shan said angrily: "It really has nothing to do with Gu!"

"His Royal Highness Wei Wang speaks carefully!"

"Huai Ren is cautious!"

The first sentence is Tang Jian, and the latter sentence is Chen Shuda... Even if His Majesty asks you to take the blame, you can't complain openly.

Well, indeed, everyone here has this kind of speculation, because Li Yuan has done similar things, think about how Li Shan was directly promoted from Guantao County Duke to Handan County King.

"Gu just mentioned something casually... imitating Cao Qigui selected in the former Sui Dynasty." Li Shan wanted to cry but had no tears.

I have made up my mind, and discussed it with Li Shimin through Ling Jing, as long as I don't lose Zhang Shigui, the governor of Yuanzhou, anyway, Zhang Shigui and myself are sworn brothers, so I have a reason to make a move.

The rest was just a temporary idea. Li Shan used Yang Wengan, the general manager of Fangzhou, to test the East Palace... The result surprised him. Pei Ji and Zheng Shanguo didn't know anything. Pei Shiju's old fox couldn't see the clue, but Li Shan guessed Feng Lun's reaction was great.

It's all right now, Li Yuan threw the pot on his own head.

Unlike the others, Pei Shiju suspected that this was Li Yuan and Li Shan acting, even if there was no script, there might be a tacit understanding.

"Since it was Huairen who mentioned it first, His Majesty was furious just now..." Pei Ji's voice sounded a bit sharp, "Huairen didn't say enough."

This is understandable, after all, it is generally recognized that Pei Ji and Li Yuan have the best personal relationship in the court, and he is also based on this, and has great influence on Li Yuan to become the recognized prime minister.

But this year, Pei Ji's status has been shaken.

Qin Wang Li Shimin officially exercised the power and responsibility of Shang Shuling, which naturally led to the reduction of Pei Ji's authority, and Li Yuan's dislike of the prince also made Pei Ji's influence decline.

Now, someone who can replace him has just appeared. In the eyes of all the prime ministers, His Majesty's anger today and the reprimand to Li Shan... all undoubtedly prove Li Shan's influence.

Li Yuan was furious when he saw the list, and you guys actually kicked the ball to me. Later, when he found out that Li Shan was not doing his best to mobilize foreign workers, Li Yuan was furious again... This shows that Li Yuan is waiting for Li Shan's recommendation.

In other words, this list is decided by Li Shanlai!

Pei Ji couldn't help but feel a little desolate "I only hear the newcomers laugh, but the old ones cry?"

All seven eyes focused on his face, even Li Xiaogong's eyes were piercing, but Li Shan didn't rush to speak, let alone complain, complaining now is meaningless, he is thinking, thinking about Li Yuan's intentions.

I call the shots?

Why am I the one calling the shots?

In fact, the selection of the chief officials of these state capitals should be discussed in Liangyi Hall. This is also the embodiment of the power of the emperor, prince, prince participating in politics, and ministers. Why did Li Yuan decentralize this power?

In fact, among the eight people present, there is one Zhongshu Ling, two servants, and one servant. These four are all prime ministers. The county king, and himself... Li Shan licked his lips and almost guessed Li Yuan's intentions.

With so many positions, Li Yuan knew that the two sons would definitely fight for blood. He didn't want to intensify the conflict, so he delegated the power of discussion, and now he specifically named himself... This old man is not a good person, he is clearly trying to use himself serve as hatchet man.

Okay, okay, since you use me as a weapon, don't regret it!

"Huairen?" Tang Jian's eyes flickered. He and Li Shan didn't know each other in the early years, but the latter was trapped in Guji Town. He sent a letter to Li Jing. Tang Jian was injured in the battle of Tiantai Mountain last year, and it was Li Shan himself. Bandaged.

Taking a deep breath, Li Shan got up and walked to the middle of the room, and said softly: "The states in the northern part of the Guanzhou, Xiazhou is the most important, Yanzhou is on the left, Yulin is on the right, and Yanzhou is on the back."

"If the Turks invade the pass, they will attack Lingzhou first and Xiazhou second."

In fact, it is hard to say which route the Turkic army will choose to sweep south. Lingzhou is relatively easy to fight, but if it goes south, it will have to gnaw at the hard bone of Yuanzhou. On the contrary, Xiazhou, the original Shuofang County, is more difficult to fight, but the latter The road is fairly smooth, although there are checkpoints like Luziguan, but it is better than Xiaoguan and Yuanzhou Qiguan.

"Xue Wanche, Duke of Wu'an County, is brave and good at fighting. It is most suitable to be the governor of Xiazhou." Li Shan looked at Pei Ji. In other places, His Royal Highness still needs to send manpower to help."

Pei Ji was determined, and nodded with a smile, "Prince Xima Xiao De said that he has the ability to stabilize the place by saying that he has a room with the uncle of the Xiao family in Lanling."

Li Shan opened his mouth and gave the most important manager of Xiazhou to Xue Wanche, the prince's confidant general. The atmosphere in the room was a bit stagnant, and Chen Shuda and Feng Lun's faces were not very good-looking.

However, Pei Shiju's face was even more ugly.
