Chapter 0992 There is someone in the court who wants to be an official
After two rounds of wine, the banquet broke up before even eating the food.
Because someone came to disturb the situation. It was the person sent by Su Dingfang to greet His Highness King Yong, and he was also Su Dingfang's new deputy general.
A tall, round-waisted man with an unshaven beard, wearing heavy armor, stood in a corner of the pavilion without saying a word. He stared at you with eyes as big as those of an ox, and would drink no matter how much you wanted to drink.
Can't go down anymore.
Li Shimin was the first to leave the pavilion, and glared at the man before leaving.
Zhao Chengyong and Chu Suiliang were the second and third to leave the pavilion. When they left the pavilion, they did not dare to glare at the man.
It's not that they don't want to stare, but that their official titles are lower than those of men and they are not qualified to brag or glare at others. Once they brag or glare, they will be punished by the officials of the Ministry of Rites according to the etiquette system.
The reason why Yin Ah Shu dared to beat Du Ruhui and go to Li Yuan to complain was because according to the etiquette system, people are reasonable, but Du Ruhui is not etiquette.
There was only one person in the pavilion who did not move, and that was Li Yuanji.
After Liang Luoren looked at the man with strange eyes and left, Li Yuanji sighed and said to the man: "I said Niu Xiu, can't you wait until I finish the meal before coming in?"
Niu Xiu, also known as Niu Jinda, said firmly, "The order I received is to welcome His Highness into the city as soon as possible, so I don't dare to delay."
Li Yuanji couldn't compete with such a family member who accepted death, so he could only roll his eyes and admit that he was unlucky.
Why did Li Yuanji conclude that Niu Xiu was a guy who accepted death?
Because Niu Xiu used to be Li Shimin's general, Li Shimin walked out of Yingjun Pavilion without even stumbling when he saw him, which is enough to show that there is no room for negotiation in front of this guy.
Otherwise, with how happy Li Shimin was just now, how could he leave Yingjun Pavilion so easily?
You know, Li Shimin had already taken the initiative to stand up and was ready to invite everyone to dance together, which shows how high his interest is.
"Lead the way!"
Li Yuanji said helplessly.
Not knowing what Niu Xiu was good at, after Su Dingfang was promoted to the commander-in-chief who lost his troops to conquer Suni, he named Niu Xiu to serve as his deputy general.
Also named were Kan Leng, Yu Wenbao, Quan Xu and others.
Except for Kwon Wook, the rest are all relatively naive or straight-tempered people.
That is to say, Kan Leng, Yu Wenbao and others now have important responsibilities. Otherwise, Su Ding would have to bring together all the most naive and straightforward people in the Tang Dynasty.
"Here!"
After Niu Xiu agreed solemnly, he actually left the pavilion to lead the way.
People are fulfilling their responsibilities and completing their tasks meticulously.
Li Yuanji really lost his temper with others, so he could only get up and follow him.
After leaving the pavilion and saying a brief goodbye to Liang Luoren and other officials, Li Yuanji mounted his horse and followed Niu Xiu to Shuofang City.
On the way, Li Shimin came over at some point and asked in confusion: "Who are you going to appoint as the acting governor?"
Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin in astonishment and said, "Why are you interested in this matter?"
Who will be the acting governor of the state? Li Shimin can't make the decision, so why pay attention to this?
Li Shimin snorted softly and said: "I'm sure you won't let Liang Luoren off so easily. You will definitely choose someone who will cause Liang Luoren a headache to be the acting governor!"
It is a sure thing to choose someone who will cause Liang Luoren a headache to be the acting governor of the state.
After all, Liang Luoren had just surrendered and had not yet completely returned to his heart. No one would be at ease if he was allowed to go to Daizhou alone to grow up.
But this is just to guard against Liang Luoren and to check and balance Liang Luoren. What does it have to do with whether Liang Luoren should be spared or not?
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Li Shimin and said, "Second brother, do you think that I am too narrow-minded? Liang Luoren sincerely submits to the Tang Dynasty and is very respectful to me, so why should I embarrass him?"
Li Shimin said with a look of disbelief: "Then tell me, who are you going to send as acting governor?"
Li Yuanji said calmly: "Who else can I send? Of course it's Ma Sanbao. He's almost got lice in Chang'an City, so it's time to come out and make some moves."
Just letting Ma Sanbao serve as the general manager of Daizhou does not mean that Ma Sanbao will lead the army and Ma Sanbao does not have to stay in Daizhou all the time. Therefore, it will not affect Ma Sanbao's loyalty to Li Xiuning. I believe Ma Sanbao will not refuse.
When Li Shimin heard this, he showed an expression of "Sure enough,".
"In terms of evil intentions and insidiousness, Ma Sanbao can be considered a famous figure in our Tang Dynasty, right?"
Li Shimin asked jokingly.
Li Yuanji said frankly: "What I value is his ability!"
No matter how you say it, Ma Sanbao is still compared to Wei Qing of the Tang Dynasty by Li Yuan. He still has some abilities, not only has them, but he is also outstanding.
Of course, it would be a bit much to say that he is really Wei Qing of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, Li Yuan commented that he was the Wei Qing of the Tang Dynasty. The Li family had just established a foothold in Guanzhong and defeated Xue Ju, Li Shiji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others who had not yet joined the Tang camp.
If Li Yuan were asked to evaluate him again now, Li Yuan would never say such a thing under any circumstances.
After all, under the light of Li Jing, Li Shiji, Su Dingfang, Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and many others, Ma Sanbao's light was so weak that it was invisible.
"Ah!"
Li Shimin smiled sarcastically, as if "I believe you and I are a stick", and left on horseback.
Li Yuanji shouted at Li Shimin's back: "I'm telling the truth!"
Li Shimin turned a deaf ear, rode his horse and rushed forward, then disappeared on the official road.
When Li Yuanji and his men caught up with Li Shimin, Shuofang City was already in sight.
There are soldiers in full armor guarding the city gate, and there are many flags on the city head, whistling in the wind.
Since Su Dingfang was commanding the battle and did not rush to the city gate to greet him, there were only a dozen officials sent by the three provinces and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to count the baggage and manage the camp treasury.
The leader, Li Yuanji, also knew Wang Xuance, who was the disciple of Chen Shuda.
Looking at Wang Xuance's childish face, and then at the winged gauze crown Wang Xuance wore on his head, which was about to leave the ranks of green-robed officials, Li Yuanji clearly realized the weight of the words "There are people in the court who are easy to be officials."
.
Wang Xuance has already reached the end of the green-robed officialdom and is about to enter the ranks of red-robed officials before he reaches adulthood. This is simply unreasonable.
Many officials may not be able to reach Wang Xuance's current heights after being an official for a lifetime, let alone enter the ranks of red-robed officials.
If it weren't for Chen Shuda's reasons, Li Yuanji would have taken off his head and kicked it with a ball.
Chen Shuda may not have helped Wang Xuance find an official position, but with him as his teacher, if the officials in the Ministry of Personnel did not give Wang Xuance a top grade during the evaluation, they would not be worthy of being an official.
After all, Chen Shuda is not only their direct supervisor, but also the person who reviews their evaluations. If they give a review to Chen Shuda's disciples, wouldn't they point at Chen Shuda's nose and say that Chen Shuda has misled his disciples.
Therefore, it will definitely be rated as high or above. In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Shuda will definitely discount it by one grade, or two grades, and give it an upper, middle, or upper or lower grade.
Regardless of whether they are ranked high, middle or low, they all receive excellent reviews, and promotion is a sure thing.
"Your Majesty Xuance..."
"minister……"
"..."
"Welcome Your Highness!"
After Wang Xuance and a group of officials finished saluting, Li Yuanji immediately stepped forward, stared at Wang Xuance and joked: "You can do that. You are already a sixth-rank official before you reach the weak crown."
Wang Xuance smiled implicitly and humbly: "I have taken advantage of His Highness and Master Chen, otherwise I would not be qualified to be ranked in the sixth rank."
Li Yuanji chuckled and said, "You have to be capable and meritorious. Otherwise, even if Chen Shuda and I help you up, you will still fall down."
Li Yuanji only felt amazed that Wang Xuance became a sixth-rank official before he reached the weak crown, but he had no dissatisfaction and did not feel that there was anything unfair.
After all, he was a prince as soon as he traveled through time, and his predecessor was also a prince when he was Wang Xuance's age.
He has no right to be dissatisfied or feel unfair.
Because this era is like this, there is no fairness at all. Some people are born above many people, while some people are born at the bottom of society.
"Your Highness is so complimentary!"
Wang Xuance bent down and said something humble again.
Li Yuanji made a special observation. When he told Wang Xuance about this matter, the officials behind Wang Xuance not only did not show dissatisfaction, but looked convinced and envious.
It can be seen from this that Wang Xuance, an official of the sixth rank, may have a little bit of merit in it, but most of his promotion is due to his merits.
Otherwise, the officials behind him would not be able to look convinced and envious, and would definitely show some dissatisfaction.
After all, just because a person's official position is low does not mean that his family status is low, nor does it mean that he has no one in the court.
Therefore, if Wang Xuance's sixth-rank official is mixed with a lot of water, people will definitely show some dissatisfaction.
After all, Wang Xuance was only Chen Shuda's disciple, not Chen Shuda's son, and Wang Xuance's cousin was only the wife of Prince Yong's Mansion, not Princess Yong.
There were many people in the Tang Dynasty who didn't need to give face to Chen Shuda or to the wife of Prince Yong's Mansion.
People who are related to these people don't need to be afraid of Wang Xuance, let alone Wang Xuance's background.
"Enter the city!"
Li Yuanji said with a smile, Wang Xuance took over Niu Xiu's errand, made a gesture of invitation, and then led the way.
On the way, after chatting with Wang Xuance for a while, Li Yuanji asked Niu Xiu about the war between the Tang Dynasty and Suni's lost troops, "Where are Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Xue Wanche and others currently?"
Niu Xiu spoke matter-of-factly.
There is not much emotion, and there is no lively performance of various actions, but a rough description of the current war situation.
After listening to this, Li Yuanji roughly understood the current stage of the war between Datang and Suni.
Although Suni lost his troops in Ashinabili with the help of Yang Zhengdao and others, which hindered the progress of Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Xue Wanche and others, under the command of Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Xue Wanche and others
People are still advancing slowly.
At present, they have defeated four subordinate tribes of the Sunis tribe, swept nearly eight pastures and one city of the Sunis tribe, and occupied nearly one-sixth of the territory of the Sunil tribe.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the tribes and pastures. The city was built in the Han Dynasty. After the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was abandoned and turned into ruins. Later, after Sunisi split the Turks, it was reorganized on the advice of Liang Shidu.
The city was put into use and renovated and rebuilt.
It is a city that communicates with the various tribes of the Suni tribe in the west. It is also a trading city for the various tribes of the Suni tribe in the west.
After the city was built, various tribes in the west of the Suni tribe moved their trade to the city.
Therefore, after Yuchi Gong captured the city, he captured a lot of money.
After Li Yuanji heard about the role of this city, he subconsciously thought of the border market established by the Tang Dynasty on the border.
He was sure that when Sunisu adopted Liang Shidu's suggestion to repair and build this city in the territory, he must have been inspired by the border markets of the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, Sunishi would never be able to connect this city with trade, let alone allow tribes near this city to come to this city to trade.
