Chapter 641 White hemp worship
Dai Zhou was able to participate in the government affairs, and served as a transfer envoy for a period of time. Before Du Ruhui died, he was specially asked to preside over the Ministry of Officials, so he used the Minister of the Ministry of Households to check the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and later worked with Qin Lang to balance the national economy.
Up to now, Dai Zhou's official official positions are Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, Zuo Cheng of Shangshu, admonishing doctor, guest of the prince, participating in the government, and Duke of Wuchang County.
However, although Dai Zhou was talented and was born in Mingjing, he was criticized by the gentry for not knowing the history of the classics.
In some respects, Dai Zhou is very similar to Qin Lang. He is ignorant and capable of handling affairs. He has won the trust of the emperor, but he has been attacked by the gentry. Yes, I usually don't like those subordinates who come from famous families the most, they can only talk about it, but they are far inferior to those officials from ordinary backgrounds when handling practical affairs.
Qin Lang Shang adopted the emperor's eldest daughter, while Dai Zhou's daughter had already been betrothed to Li Yuanqing, the sixteenth son of the Supreme Emperor.
"How is Duke Dai recently?"
Old Dai has a beard and half-white hair. It looks like he is overworked with multiple jobs. "Saburo is not in the court, and I am in charge of the national economy. I am a little powerless."
As Li Shimin's chief financial officer, Dai Zhou is still very competent in managing the national affairs of the household department, but he also has to hold several positions. He really misses the days when Qin Lang was a transfer envoy and a timekeeper in Pingzhang. At that time, Qin Lang was He was the one who took the lead in the reform, and he silently supported it behind. The two cooperated seamlessly, and it was much easier to do it.
Now, although the country’s financial situation is very good since the tax reform, it is still very tiring to preside over it by myself.
Situ, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang Zhengshi, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Sun Wuji nodded to him from their positions, and the two didn't say anything more.
The same as Li Jing, the political affairs of Pingzhang under Zhongshumen, and Qin Qiong, the important military affairs of Pingzhang. These two prime ministers are not in Beijing, and they are actually just holding titles.
Hou Junji had already been kicked out by the emperor because of his previous attack on Qin Lang and because he was not qualified enough to gain a foothold in the Political Affairs Hall.
And Xiao Yu, the imperial historian, was also dismissed by the emperor again because of the impeachment of Qin Lang last time. He has already worshiped and dismissed the prime minister three times. If you count that he also served as a prime minister in the Wude Dynasty, this man was only fourteen years old when he was established in the Tang Dynasty. In the past few years, he has worshiped the prime minister four times and dismissed him four times, which can be called a masterpiece.
Wei Ting, the newly-appointed censor doctor, is also from a famous family, from Jingzhao Webster. He was once very brilliant in the Sui Dynasty, and he is still majestic now. uncle.
Wei Ting had a similar experience to Wang Gui. He was selected into the East Palace as a son of a famous family, and Wei Ting played well with Jiancheng since he was a child, so when he was in the East Palace, he was the inspector prince Zuowei and the commander-in-chief of the East Palace. Although Xuanwumen was expelled due to the Yang Wengan incident, after Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he was quickly pardoned and reused in order to win over the power of the Wei family.
Having been strongly recommended by Wang Gui several times, Wei Ting has a very good official career. He has successively served as Shangshu Zuocheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Minister of Huangmen, and now the Royal Shifu, participating in the government.
Li Shimin also specially ordered Wei Ting's daughter to marry his son Qi Wang Li You.
Qin Lang really wanted to complain about this point. Li Shimin often criticizes the noble families of the five surnames and seven families, and likes to engage in marriages, but in fact Li Shimin does this more than the five surnames and seven families. He prefers to engage in marriages, and he likes to marry The marriage of one's own prime minister and general, basically the prime minister has to marry the royal family, either the son is the princess, or the daughter is married to the royal family.
Li Yuan felt uncomfortable after abdicating the throne in the past few years, so he desperately gave birth to sons and daughters. Li Shimin simply came to use waste, and used the young brothers and sisters born to him by the Supreme Emperor as tools for political marriage.
The prime ministers and generals who are close to each other, he will marry with his own children, while the prime ministers and generals who are far away, he will use those born by the Supreme Emperor to marry, wishing to catch all the important officials and nobles in the court.
The last chancellor was Chen Shuda, who was worshiped by the prime minister during the Wude Dynasty. Because he protected Li Shimin back then, the emperor treated him very well. Although he did it a few times, he finally made him a minister of the Ministry of Rites and participated in the government affairs.
At the same time, he also married Chen Shuda.
After a circle, except for Qin Qiong and Li Jing, the two gods of war who bear the title of prime minister, but each came out of the town to feudal vassal, the rest of the prime ministers have seen each other.
The left servant of the Shangshu shoots Fang Xuanling, the right servant shoots Gao Shilian, the Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo, the servant Yang Shidao, and the school inspector Wang Gui.
Shangshu Zuocheng, Hubu Shangshu, admonishing officials, guests of the prince, participating in government affairs Dai Zhou,
Shangshu Youcheng, secretary supervisor, admonishing doctor, prince Shaozhan Shi, participated in the political affairs of Wei Zheng.
Situ, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of Pingzhang under Tong Zhongshu.
Doctor Yushi, Wei Ting who participated in the government affairs.
The prince's young teacher, the Minister of Rites, participated in the government affairs of Chen Shuda.
In addition to Qin Lang, the inspector, Sikong, Kaifuyi and the third division, the Hushi general, the minister of the Ministry of war, and Tong Zhongshumen, there are eleven prime ministers in the Zhengshi hall today.
A total of thirteen prime ministers, actually eleven.
In the political affairs hall, the positions of the prime ministers are actually ranked. Although they are group ministers, there are actually high and low prime ministers. In fact, the left servant ranks first on the left, the right servant ranks first on the right, Zhong Shuling ranks second on the left, and Shi Zhong ranks second on the right.
The school inspector is ranked third from the left, and the third from the right is Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of Situ's official department, so Qin Lang is ranked fourth from the left. Opposite him is Dai Zhou, who is fourth from the right, and he is the first The fifth person from the left is Wei Zheng.
Sort sequentially.
Of course, if Qin Qiong and Li Jing come, then Qin Qiong, who is a Taiwei, will be ranked first, and Li Jing, Sikong, will also be ranked second.
Qin Lang pretended to be modest, and finally sat down.
Looking around, among the eleven prime ministers, he is the one who can really represent the generals. Among the prime ministers in Li Shimin's political affairs hall, there seems to be very few positions for generals, usually only one position.
It was Qin Qiong at first, then Li Jing, then Hou Junji, and then him. Although he said he would conquer the world immediately, Li Shimin never thought of ruling the world immediately.
The passage for warriors to enter and leave the generals is reserved, but it is relatively narrow.
Because the political affairs are discussed in the hall, the prime ministers all have cushions to sit and discuss affairs, but there is still an empty imperial couch at the top, which is reserved for the emperor.
Wang Kai, the young supervisor of Dianzhong Province, came in.
"Is Your Majesty coming?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"Your Majesty has internal control."
Fang Xuanling took the lead, and the eleven prime ministers all stood up to meet the order.
"Wei Zheng and Wang Gui used to be in the East Palace and did everything with all their heart. At that time, sincerity was hateful. I was able to promote and use them. Today, they are worthy of the ancients. After Zhenguan, they will devote themselves to me, offer loyalty, Anguoli people, and success. My achievements today are known by the world only Wang Yu and Wei Zheng. How can I add to the famous ministers of ancient times? Do the rulers treat the kings of Yao and Shun, the assistants of Long Yi, self-driven, the world will be safe, and the border Nothing, Shihe Suimin, their loyalty is so..."
"Specially made Wei Zhengjue Duke of Julu County, the official worshiped the servant, and gave him ten catties of gold and two royal horses."
"Specially enfeoffed as Wang Yujue Yongning County Duke, the official worshiped the Zhongshu Ling, and gave him ten catties of gold and two royal horses."
"The Zhongshu ordered Wen Yanbo to be the Duke of Yu State, and he was changed to be a royal doctor, to participate in the government affairs, and to give a hundred pieces of silk."
"Servant Yang Shidao Jin Jue Ande County Duke, changed to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, participated in the government, and gave a hundred pieces of silk."
"Wei Ting, the doctor of imperial history, was promoted to the Duke of Fuyang County, and was changed to Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, who served as the servant of the Huangmen, and was also in charge of Wei Wangtai's mansion, and participated in the government."
Five decrees were sent down in a row, but they were all important adjustments to the prime minister's personnel.
Wei Zheng and Wang Gui ascended to the sky in one step, and were respectively appointed as Zhongshu Province and high-ranking officials under their sect, while Wen Yanbo and Yang Shidao were demoted. He entered the Zhengshitang, and even promoted to the title of Duke of the county, but this was still demoted.
Wei Ting didn't sit still at Yushitai, so he was awarded the title of Huangmen servant instead.
Wen Yanbo and Yang Shidao were pale, and they offended the emperor without knowing why, and were suddenly demoted.
Qin Lang was on the side, listening a little gleefully. In fact, the emperor knew how to employ people. Li Shimin, the prime minister of the political affairs hall, always liked the mixing of various forces, and also liked micro-manipulation. Let's make a move here today, and adjust it tomorrow. After a while, there are many prime ministers in the political affairs hall, and they are frequently transferred. The result is that although these prime ministers are high-ranking and powerful, they are always transferred here and there.
On the other hand, on the surface, Li Shimin has several representatives from Guanlong nobles and Shandong gentry in the Zhengshitang, but in fact he uses these people as ministers, not only to take care of the various forces, but also depends on ability.
For example, Yang Shidao, his prime minister is actually to succeed his elder brother Yang Gongren who was dismissed. He is also a representative of the Guanlong nobles, but Yang Shidao came from a wealthy family, but he is not sympathetic. Most of them are mediocre, which made everyone dissatisfied, so even Li Shimin's brother-in-law was also taken down this time.
Wen Yanbo was born in the Wen family of Taiyuan. He used to be the Sima of Luo Yi in Youzhou. After returning to Tang Dynasty, he became Li Yuan's confidant because of his good relationship with his family and Li Yuan. In the eighth year of Wude, he was captured when he joined the army to fight against the Turks, and was exiled by the Turks in Yinshan Mountain. more than a year. After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he rescued Wen Yanbo and used him very much. Wen also became an important maker of the imperial court's policy towards the Turks.
