Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 169
Li Shimin was also surprised by Du Ruhui's death. His trust in Du Ruhui was based on everyone.Now that Du Ruhui passed away, Li Shimin's adviser group lost a person who dared to make decisions.

Thinking of making decisions, Li Shimin's mind flashed through many people, but finally stayed on Long Feiyu.When it comes to strategy, Long Feiyu may not be the best in Datang, but when it comes to decision-making, he and Du Ruhui are not far behind.

After these years of hard work, Long Feiyu's reputation can completely overwhelm the older generation, and those young officials are headed by him. The older generation's ineffective veterans will naturally be dissatisfied with occupying high positions at this time, and they It hindered the newcomers' advancement, and these people were eager for Long Feiyu to be promoted all the way. Once he was promoted, many positions would be vacant, and their chances would be much greater.

These years, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has been living in fear, Long Feiyu has passed all the way, and the death of Li Yuan at this time undoubtedly made the Minister of the Ministry of Officials very worried.

These old officials had no accomplishments, but held high positions. Originally, Li Shimin was reluctant to do anything because of Li Yuan's face. Now that Li Yuan passed away, their good days are coming to an end.

Seeing his father's sullen look, Mr. Liu asked in confusion, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Shilang sighed and said: "The late emperor passed away, our era has come to an end. It's time for father to resign and go back to seclusion."

"Resign? Why resign?"

"Resigning now can still leave a good impression on His Majesty, and maybe you can spend your old age peacefully, but I'm afraid it will be difficult after a while. After the late emperor passed away, Your Majesty will definitely clean up those useless veterans and give those newcomers , but most of the officials gathered around us are officials who can't afford to make a living. In the past, they relied on the shadow of the late emperor to keep their positions. Now if we don't give up and gain a good reputation, we will not be far from beheading in the future .”

Although Mr. Liu didn't quite understand Liu Shilang's words, he also knew that this time did not belong to their era.The sudden birth of Long Feiyu deprived too many people of their opportunities, and at the same time created too many people.Let them Mr. Nan Guo have nowhere to go. If they don't find an excuse to leave, once there is a mistake at work, in this prosperous and prosperous world, they will definitely need negative teaching materials, and their mistakes will definitely be infinitely magnified.

In order to survive, just after Li Yuan's funeral period ended, several high-ranking people in the court came to Li Shimin, wanting to retire.For this, Li Shimin just praised him, and readily agreed. He didn't want to kill these people, and he was optimistic about accepting him now that he could see good results.

It was another day at the court meeting, and seeing that there were many vacancies in the court, Li Shimin sighed and said: "The late emperor died, Keming also passed away, and there are so many vacancies in the court, if you have a suitable candidate, you may as well speak up .”

Everyone looked at me and looked at you. The departure of these people made a follower of Li Shimin see hope, and one by one rushed to stand up and recommend the person they liked.

However, it is obvious that Li Shimin disdains the people they recommend. Looking around, he finally fixed his eyes on Long Feiyu, and said directly: "Long Aiqing, you have many years of experience in politics, and you have many years of experience in recommending talents. It's quite organized, do you think any ministers in the court who are suitable for these vacancies?"

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Long Feiyu naturally didn't dare to speak rashly, so as to offend the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.After thinking for a while, he said: "I have been away all year round, so I really don't know anything about the affairs of the court. If it is about the things in Lingnan, then the minister knows everything about it. But when it comes to the capital minister, apart from knowing about those officials when he was the secretary of the household department in the past , and the rest are not very clear."

Li Shimin said "Oh", looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Fang Aiqing, do you think those people can take up these vacated positions?"

Hearing that the ministers had recommended so many people just now, although Fang Xuanling had a high position and authority, he did not dare to speak rashly, and could only say: "I thought these people could be handed over to the Ministry of Officials for examination. Those who choose to hire at their own discretion."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, since Long Aiqing Lingnan is stable, you don't want to go back. I order you to be Minister Zuo Cheng to lead the Ministry of Officials and supervise all officials."

Li Shimin's words made the eyelids of all the officials twitch. This is tantamount to directly depriving Shang Shu of Zuo Pushe's power and replacing Du Ruhui's position. This rise is too fast.But no one dared to say anything, they respected their strength no matter what.

Whether it is Hubu or Lingnan, Long Feiyu has already proved his ability.He may not feel much about supervising all the officials. This was originally the responsibility of Shangshu Zuocheng, but this is too important for the evaluation of officials.

After the appointment, the group of people looked at Long Feiyu differently. This is a stunned young man who dares to do anything. If they fail the assessment, their careers will be over.Everyone thought of giving gifts at the same time, but remembering the last gift-giving incident, they still gave up this idea.

Hearing that Long Feiyu had returned to the capital to become an official, the people in Chang'an City were naturally overjoyed.In the hope that Long Feiyu would come up with some good way to make them rich.In fact, the biggest change in these years is not Chang'an but the Hetao Grassland. Most of the Turks who were defeated in the Turks lived on the Hetao Grassland.

In order to prevent them from wandering around without a fixed place, Long Feiyu divided the land for them and asked them to settle down and graze instead of nomadic.

At the same time, teach them how to use the grass cellar to store fodder and how to weave cotton clothes with wool.In this way, their nomadic pastoralism was greatly restricted, and it played a great role in facilitating the rule of the Han people.The wealth of the nomadic people also made the Han people envious. Many Han people also left their homes and went to the grasslands to graze.Such changes have greatly accelerated the pace of assimilation.

As soon as he took office as Shangshu Zuocheng, Long Feiyu went to take office after the dismissal of the dynasty.Due to the death of Du Ruhui, Zuo Pushe was not established, and Long Feiyu actually exercised the power of Zuo Pushe.

Seeing the new lord coming, a group of subordinates hurriedly came to salute, and saw that they were busy with their duties.Long Feiyu admired Du Ruhui's ability.

Because of supervising the official department, Long Feiyu went to the official department first to see where a group of people were sorting out.Long Feiyu glanced around the game and asked wonderingly: "Why didn't you Liu Shilang come?"

Someone said: "Liu Shilang has already resigned from office a few days ago."

Hearing his resignation, Long Feiyu gave an "oh" and didn't say much, and Liu Shilang, who was in Liu's mansion, was also secretly happy at this time, if he resigned later and ran into Long Feiyu, it would be troublesome .

After ordering a group of officials to sort out the materials of the ministers, Long Feiyu rushed to other places.When he came outside the main hall of the Ministry of Industry, he heard a group of people discussing something.Listen carefully, but it is discussing how to build a palace.

Stimulated by Long Feiyu, the work of the Ministry of Industry became serious.The minister of the Ministry of Industry was sitting on the sidelines, while the two servants were arguing, and one of them said: "Is it important to build a palace for His Majesty, or to dredge the canal?"

Another person scolded: "Of course it is important to dredge the canal. The canal that Yang Guang planned to build took a lot of manpower, and it was blocked during the war. Now the role of the canal in peacetime should be paid more attention to. How can we give up because of the construction of the palace?"

"Do you know how much manpower and financial resources are needed to dig the canal? The people are gnashing their teeth for the canal. If we continue to dig the canal so hastily, it will definitely lose the hearts of the people in the Ministry of Industry."

The man who insisted on continuing to dig the canal said noncommittally: "If the Ministry of Industry can't do it, it will issue a document in the name of Zuo Cheng. I don't believe that with Zuo Cheng's popularity, the people will stop the digging of the canal."

Hearing their discussion, a group of people started arguing, some thought the palace was important, some thought the canal was important.Without even noticing that Long Feiyu had arrived behind them, looking at the blueprint in the hand of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Long Feiyu shook his head and said, "Can such a luxurious palace be changed?"

"Change? This was built according to His Majesty's wishes. How can you change it? You are so bold." After saying this, he looked in the direction of the voice. After seeing Long Feiyu's appearance clearly, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly stood up and saluted. : "It turned out to be Master Zuo Cheng. The lower officials did not know that His Excellency was coming. Please forgive me, Your Excellency."

Long Feiyu said with a chuckle: "It's okay, you are so considerate of my Tang Dynasty, you are a role model for all officials, there is no excuse for sin. By the way, were you discussing digging canals or building palaces just now?"

Several people nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, I have a different opinion from Wang Shilang. He thinks that the palace should be built first, and then digging will be done after a few years when the people's hatred for the canal has faded away, but I think the canal is a matter of concern." The people's livelihood is a major issue, so the canal should be built first."

Long Feiyu nodded and said: "Both of you have the right idea, but this palace can be lived in for hundreds of 80 years if it is suppressed first, and the previous palace is repaired. The most urgent thing is to dig the canal. Issue the document and recruit river workers to dig the canal."

"Your Majesty, you can't. Your Majesty has urged you to do this palace matter several times. If it continues to delay, His Majesty will blame you, and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

Long Feiyu waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll go and tell His Majesty, you should calculate the silver required for digging the canal as soon as possible, first open the canal, and then open the north-south water transport."

Long Feiyu had already said this, and everyone naturally did not dare to neglect, and went to deal with it according to his instructions.

After dealing with the government affairs, Li Shimin was resting in the harem, admiring the rare comfort.Suddenly Sanbao came to report: "Your Majesty, Long Zuocheng is asking to see you."

Hearing what Sanbao said, Li Shimin seemed to have known it earlier, and sighed: "Let him in, I know that the good times of transferring him back to Beijing are coming to an end."

When Li Shimin said this, a princess interjected: "Then why didn't the emperor demote him out of the capital, why bother to keep him in the capital?"

As soon as the princess finished speaking, Empress Changsun scolded angrily: "What do children know, go to Tao and play."

After saying this, Long Feiyu had already walked in, saluted Li Shimin and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, Empress Empress, Concubine Xiao, and Concubine Yang..."

Hearing that Long Feiyu finished the ceremony, Li Shimin said, "Okay, tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Long Feiyu thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I just went to the Ministry of Industry and saw that everyone in the Ministry of Industry is preparing to build a palace, but the palaces in this imperial city are being built every year. There is no shortage at all. Now planning to build a palace is a waste of financial resources and material resources. I think this is definitely not your original intention, Your Majesty, but they must have made the decision without authorization. After discussing with the Ministry of Industry, they decided to dig the canal in the Sui Dynasty to facilitate water transportation. Please allow your majesty."

"The canal? Long Feiyu, don't you mention the canal now to make the people scold you? Have you forgotten the lessons learned by Yang Guang?"

Hearing Li Shimin talking about Yang Guang, Concubine Xiao and Concubine Yang's eyes flickered unnaturally, but there was nothing they could do at this time.Long Feiyu waved his hand and said, "In all fairness, Yang Guang's canal was a matter of great merit. Unfortunately, his purpose is not pure, and he can't make good use of people's power, causing people's livelihood to wither and cause turmoil. The canal is still being dug, just need to be dredged That's fine, now that the national treasury is abundant, it is completely possible to pay a high price for the river workers to dredge it. There is no need to recruit civilians to go."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and said, "Then do you think it's necessary to build a canal?"

"Of course, the south is a land of fish and rice. As long as the canal is opened to make the water transport unimpeded, wouldn't it be more convenient for the communication between the north and the south?"

Long Feiyu's words recognized Yang Guang's achievements in a certain sense, which made Concubine Xiao and Concubine Yang's eyes on Long Feiyu also changed.And Li Shimin naturally knew the benefits of digging the canal, so he could only helplessly say: "Okay, but don't let me down, I have never dared to move this canal because he involved too much, and the people of the previous dynasty lost all support." The beginning is also the evidence of Yang Guang's cruelty, now if you want to move, you can do it, but let's talk about the ugly things first, if you can't do it, you will bear the responsibility for the crime."

Naturally, Long Feiyu knew that it was a sin whether the canal was completed or not, but he didn't care, and he cupped his hands and said: "I obey." He said goodbye and left.
