Li Ye returned home. He could only stay in Jincheng County for a few days, and then he had to leave for Huining.
Although his wife Dugu Xinyue is pregnant, she is only five months old and has not yet shown her pregnancy, and she is in good spirits.
After receiving Pei Sanniang's letter, her aunt Li Tengkong moved into Li Ye's house to take care of her nephew and daughter-in-law. But speaking of it, Dugu Xinyue was still her junior sister. She had the responsibility to take care of Xinyue in public and private matters, especially Li Ye.
Leading the army on an expedition when not in Jincheng County.
Although Li Tengkong was a female Taoist priest, she had extremely superb medical skills and was very experienced in delivering babies. She delivered Li Ye's second daughter Yaoguang in Xiangyang.
Even the imperial doctor may not be able to compare with her. With her sitting in the palace, Li Ye can go to war with confidence.
On the night of her return, Yang Yuhuan was in her menstrual period and could not have sex with her husband.
Li Ye then moved into Qing Yu's courtyard. A little separation was better than a wedding, and the two of them enjoyed a happy life. However, what Li Ye didn't expect was that Qing Yu also had a crush on him.
After lingering for a long time, Qingyu put her arms around her husband's neck and said with a smile, "Husband, can you do me a small favor?"
Li Ye kissed her pretty face and said with a smile, "Tell me! How can I help you?"
"I have an elder brother named Li Boqin. My husband should know about it, right?"
Li Ye nodded, "I know him, he seems to be in Luoyang."
"He is in Chang'an now. I received a letter from him not long ago. He may have to take the Helong Civil Service Examination. Can my husband take care of him?"
Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "My uncle wants me to take care of him, of course there is no problem, but what about your father's attitude?"
Qingyu shook his head, "Father probably doesn't know about this. The eldest brother has an estranged relationship with his father, and he doesn't want to beg his father!"
Li Ye also understood that Li Bai had been wandering all his life and basically ignored his children. His eldest son was raised by his ex-wife Xu. His wife Qingyu was also left to Li Tengkong as his apprentice. He also married the Zong family and had several children.
It's normal to be distant from him.
But Li Boqin actually begged his sister Qingyu. How did he know that his sister had married him?
"Have you brother and sister always been in contact?"
Qingyu nodded, "My brother and I have been exchanging letters. After marrying my husband, I wrote a letter to him."
Of course Li Ye knew what Li Boqin meant. He wrote to his sister because he wanted to get the position of magistrate.
Li Ye smiled happily and said: "Let him take the exam! If he passes the exam, I will arrange a better position for him. If he fails, I will make him a staff officer. In fact, it is the same.
Qingyu was overjoyed, kissed her husband hard, put her arms around his neck and acted coquettishly. The two of them were very interested and began to study the art of having children together.
The next morning, Li Ye had breakfast with his three wives, and then hurried to the official office. He had a lot of things to do these two days, dealing with court relations, taking over Hexi, and conquering Lingzhou, etc.
As soon as he sat down in the official room, several senior officials came together, and Li Ye asked them to sit down.
Li Bi said with a smile: "I thought His Highness would go directly to Huizhou, but we are discussing it! If Your Highness does not come back, we will go directly to Huizhou."
Li Ye smiled slightly, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come back!"
Everyone laughed together, "Your Highness is still considerate of us and allows us to rest our arms and legs!"
Li Ye nodded, "Let's talk about recruiting civil servants first!"
Chen Huan and Wang Wei were in charge of recruiting civil servants. Wang Wei led a dozen officials to Yong County, and Chen Huan was in charge of Jincheng County. Of course, Chen Huan was the deputy chief of history, while the chief historian Li Mi focused on military advisor functions.
, Chen Huan is responsible for all kinds of complicated and trivial matters. This is the division of labor in Xiangyang, and everyone is used to it.
The recruitment of civil servants is the responsibility of Mr. Chen Huan. Chen Huan bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the civil servant recruitment examination will be held in five days. The plan has not changed. A total of 200 people will be recruited. After admission, interviews will be conducted to determine the final candidates.
"Job Arrangement"
Li Ye didn't care about the details. The plan was signed by him and would not change. What Li Ye cared about was the attitude of the court. After patiently listening to Chen Huan's introduction, Li Ye asked, "What did the court say?"
Next to him, Li Bi said: "The Ministry of Personnel did send us an ultimatum. Just as we had guessed before, the Ministry of Personnel did not care about recruiting civil servants. However, the Ministry of Personnel asked about recruiting magistrates, and the Ministry of Personnel suggested that it is best to recruit scholars with meritorious titles.
directly appoint the judge."
Chen Huan also said: "There are two types of people with fame. One is those who graduated from Taixue without a job, and the other is those who passed the imperial examination but failed to pass the civil service selection."
Li Ye understood what the Ministry of Personnel meant, that is, people with meritorious status did not need to take the exam and were directly appointed as judges of various states. He sneered in his heart and asked again: "Is this also the opinion of the Political Affairs Hall?"
Chen Huan nodded, "Your Highness is right, the ultimatum has the seal of the Political Affairs Hall, so it should have been discussed by the Political Affairs Hall."
"Then how did you reply to the officials?"
Everyone looked at each other and Li Bi said: "We have discussed that firstly, the rules have been set and everyone must take the exam. Secondly, it is too late to change the rules, so we replied to the Ministry of Personnel that everyone should take the exam, but we can give priority to it."
A person of distinction."
This reply is good, it can be regarded as a soft nail. Li Ye nodded, "If you can't even pass the most basic exam, I don't want such a famous person."
After a pause, Li Ye asked with a smile: "Is there anyone who can intercede and take care of me?"
Chen Huan smiled bitterly, "Yes, quite a few!"
"Give me the intercessor and care agent later, and I'll take a look. It's not a bad thing."
Li Ye saw it thoroughly and took advantage of this examination to recruit some famous disciples to work in Longyou, which would be beneficial to their future development.
He who does not plan for the world is not enough to plan a plan. Recruiting civil servants is just a means. Using reasonable and legal means to recruit the children of famous families is his true purpose.
"Does the court have anything else to say about us?"
Li Bi said slowly: "As for the appointment of the governors of Hexi Province, His Highness wrote the appointment instructions, and sent someone from the humble position to the court, as well as the official banknotes for the three father-in-laws. Just a few days ago
, The Generalissimo's Mansion of the World's Military and Horses officially responded to us and agreed to our appointment plan. The Generalissimo's Mansion is controlled by Li Fuguo and represents the emperor's wishes. However, I heard that the Government Hall was dissatisfied with this matter. The Government Council asked His Highness to go back and report on his duties and make it clear.
This matter."
Li Ye shook his head and said, "The Zhengshitang has overstepped its authority by doing this. I am the governor of Helong appointed by the emperor. I am not reporting to them if I want to report on my duties."
Li Mi sneered and said: "In fact, the Zhengshitang is not targeting us, but the Generalissimo's Mansion and Li Fuguo. It is said that they fought fiercely. I guess this is the effect the emperor wants!"
At this time, Liu Yan said from the side: "I will go to Chang'an in a few days to discuss the salt tax. I will handle the matter."
Li Ye said calmly: "You can explain it and light up the political hall to make them fight harder."
Li Ye took out another document and handed it to Li Bi and said: "This is a matter left over from Hexi. Officials from various states need to be appointed as soon as possible. There are more than 6,000 soldiers who died in the battle, and they will receive double pensions."
Everyone was shocked to see that more than 6,000 people were killed in battle. This was something that had never happened before. Everyone looked at Li Ye together.
Li Ye sighed and said: "This matter is a long story. Sima Wangluo's report is expected to arrive in a few days. Please take a closer look!"
Li Ye didn't want to say it himself. If he said that he almost lost his life, these old guys would definitely oppose his expedition to Lingzhou.
