Chapter 1261 Adjustment of the Tang Dynasty Civil Service System (Part 1)
"Xun Yu, a humble minister, pays homage to the Lord God!"
"Huo Guang, a humble minister, pays homage to the Lord of God!"
"The humble minister Sun Wu, pays homage to the Lord of God!"
"Weak minister Li Ru, pay your respects to the Lord of God!"
"The humble minister Di Renjie, pays homage to the Lord of God!"...
Not long after.
A group of outstanding people rushed to the palace where Li Chengqian was staying.
They all looked at each other.
They all noticed a hint of something unusual.
"Everyone, everyone is here."
"I am here today to hold a small court meeting!"
"Agenda, enter Qianzhou and destroy Yihua Palace!"
With a wave of his hand, a supreme throne descended.
Sit on it.
Li Chengqian's eyes condensed, he was extremely domineering!
"really!"
All the outstanding figures narrowed their eyes slightly and secretly said, "Sure enough!"
They are all at the same moment.
I understand what Li Chengqian is going to do!
Enter Qianzhou!
Destroy Yihua Palace!
This is not something that can be done easily by just touching the upper lip and the lower lip.
"I dare to ask the Lord God, but is it purely for revenge for the emperor's son and daughter?"
Di Renjie is more straightforward.
Dang even was the first to ask.
The words seem to be full of profound meaning!
"Yes, and no!"
He looked deeply at Di Renjie.
Li Chengqian naturally knew the meaning of Di Renjie's words.
no doubt.
If it is simply to avenge the emperor's son and daughter, then it is a personal hatred and a national hatred!
However, you will eventually understand hate.
In a sense.
There is an extremely irrational situation.
but.
This is not the case with Li Chengqian.
on the one hand.
Li Chengqian was indeed furious because Li Hengzhi and Li Zini were injured, and wanted to destroy Yihua Palace in one fell swoop for revenge.
But, now.
Li Chengqian thought more about planning Qianzhou!
That’s right!
Since Bian Que was born, Li Hengzhi and Li Zini will basically have no problems.
The hatred in Li Chengqian's heart also subsided a lot invisibly.
This way.
Li Chengqian's purpose for Yihua Palace this time is not only to better complete the main mission.
More importantly, Li Chengqian set his sights on Qianzhou.
nowadays.
In the entire Yulong Continent, Li Chengqian's territory has reached almost one-tenth!
The remaining main territory is the other eight states except Yanzhou!
And Qianzhou is undoubtedly the behemoth lying in front of Li Chengqian and the Tang Dynasty.
Do not swallow up Qianzhou.
It is absolutely impossible for Datang to go further!
"I don't know if the Lord of God is going to attack Qianzhou in an all-out way.
Or use the excuse of attacking Yihua Palace to take the road to Qianzhou! "
Li Ru's eyes flickered slightly.
It's a very skillful question.
This wave.
Li Ru was just about to trick Li Chengqian directly.
"oh?"
Li Chengqian smiled.
Li Ru's words just woke him up.
Originally, he was still struggling.
Yihua Palace is located in Qianzhou.
If he wants to lead his army to attack Yihua Palace, he will definitely not be able to bypass the Qianzhou forces.
If there is a head-to-head confrontation with the forces in Qianzhou, there is no doubt that the current Tang Dynasty still lacks a lot of firepower.
But what if, as Li Ru said, the Tang Dynasty borrowed the road to Qianzhou?
Just to fight Yihua Palace and avenge the emperor's son and daughter?
In this case, due to the great power of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that many forces in Qianzhou will agree to the Tang Dynasty's use of the road, right?
The corners of his mouth were raised slightly.
For a while.
Li Chengqian could only clap his hands and praise him!
It was so in line with his wishes!
Comfortable!
"Of course we have to take the road to Qianzhou. After all, our goal is just Yihua Palace!"
Ruo Ruo looked at Li Ru thoughtfully.
Li Chengqian's eyes were filled with admiration.
"If it's just to take a trip to Qianzhou, Wei Chen is willing to go to Qianzhou to relieve the Lord of God's worries!"
"We are also willing to go to Qianzhou to share the worries of the Lord!"
Just at this time.
Su Qin and Zhang Yi stepped forward one after another!
Take the road to Qianzhou!
It's not just talk.
This still requires lobbyists to convince the major forces in Qianzhou!
and.
Take a look at the entire Tang Dynasty.
How many people are there who are capable and capable of such vertical and horizontal movements?
Moreover, Su Qin and Zhang Yi are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates among these people!
Slight forehead.
Li Chengqian smiled.
"What do you think?"
He raised his head and glanced at Sun Wu, Huo Guang, Xun Yu and others.
There was an undetectable smile in Li Chengqian's eyes.
"good!"
"Su Zi and Zhang Zi are both ancient and modern wizards! I think it's time for you two to go to Qianzhou to open a road!"
"Exactly!"
soon.
Sun Wu, Huo Guang, and Xun Yu all expressed their agreement.
"good!"
Immediately afterwards.
Everyone agreed.
For them.
Su Qin and Zhang Yi are undoubtedly the most suitable!
"Well, Su Zi, Zhang Zi, I, Tang Dynasty, will take advantage of the road to take care of Qianzhou this time, so you two can travel far and take care of it!"
When giving instructions to Su Qin and Zhang Yi, Li Chengqian's tone was solemn and sincere.
There is a sense of entrustment of the life of a king.
Although it's not that serious.
However, both Su Qin and Zhang Yi could not help but feel the heavy responsibility in their hearts!
Especially Su Qin.
Strictly speaking, his previous mission to unite the Tianji tribe was half a failure!
He also personally helped the Tianye tribe to unite in disguise.
This was of course also due to the intelligence problem of the Jinyiwei, but for Su Qin.
This was also a failure for him, wasn't it?
Therefore.
This time.
Su Qin secretly swore in his heart.
It must not be like before.
This time!
He must do things beautifully!
There must be no mistakes when passing through Qianzhou.
And Zhang Yi felt eager to try.
After all.
Since he was born, he has only tried his hand last time.
After that, he has been almost idle.
This time, there is a chance to make merit.
Zhang Yi was naturally secretly excited.
The nameless excitement was burning.
"Su Qin will obey the order of the Lord God and will not dare to fail the Lord God's trust!"
"Zhang Yi will obey the order of the Lord God and will not dare to fail the Lord God's trust!"
The two people's thoughts were actually just a moment.
Not long after Li Chengqian's voice fell.
The two of them said in unison and solemnly promised.
"Very good, I'm waiting for your good news to come back."
"Go!"
Waving his hand slightly.
Li Chengqian gestured, and the two left immediately.
He was already a little impatient for Qianzhou's plan.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the order together.
Su Qin and Zhang Yi left one after another.
As for which force each of them would persuade, Li Chengqian did not give them a specific division.
Why?
Li Chengqian believed.
These two are all great talents in the world.
They know the priorities of things.
Even if they need to wrestle with each other.
That is also healthy competition!
Li Chengqian believes that they will definitely consider everything from the perspective of the interests of the Tang Dynasty!
"Next, everyone, tell me how the battle of Qianzhou should be carried out!"
This is the next highlight!
How should the battle of Qianzhou be carried out?
To be honest.
So far.
Li Chengqian has no idea in his mind!
Or.
There is no particularly clear plan.
There is just a vague line.
Therefore.
He needs this group of counselors to help him plan it well!
"In the battle of Qianzhou, we should borrow the road first. I suggest that we should fight Yihua Palace with most of our strength first."
"We should keep some strength and be ready to respond at any time!"
"After all, in this huge Qianzhou, the forces of all parties are intertwined. Even if we agree to borrow the road, we can't guarantee that we won't have other thoughts!"
The first to speak was Sun Wu.
Sun Wu, the military saint.
As always, he puts stability first.
His thinking is very clear.
Li Chengqian immediately knew what Sun Wu wanted to express.
It's nothing more than that the forces in Qianzhou are too chaotic. Even if the Tang Dynasty wants to fight Yihua Palace now, it is not advisable to invest too much strength.
There must always be some reservations and enough backup!
"I am going against the will of the general!"
"It is precisely because of the crisscrossing forces in Qianzhou that our Tang Dynasty cannot stay on the battlefield of Qianzhou for too long."
"If it is delayed for too long, once it falls into the quagmire of war, it will be really hard to say what will happen next."
Li Ru was the first to object.
He did not deliberately want to oppose Sun Wu.
But he raised a very realistic question.
Sun Wu's proposal is of course to put stability first.
But!
The problem is also huge!
As Li Ru said.
Once the Tang Dynasty stalemates with Yihua Palace on the battlefield of Qianzhou for a long time.
What will happen to the forces in Qianzhou?
No one dares to guarantee it.
And as long as a few of the major forces are willing to take action.
Then, the Tang Dynasty may fall into a place of no return at any time on the battlefield of Qianzhou.
That is the real horror!
"So, Li Ru, you mean to destroy Yihua Palace with all your strength and make a quick decision, right?"
Looked at Li Ru.
Li Chengqian also knew what Li Ru wanted to do.
What Li Ru wanted to do was a quick decision!
Taking advantage of the gap of borrowing the road, when the forces in Qianzhou did not react, he forcibly destroyed Yihua Palace!
In this way.
Qianzhou lost Yihua Palace, and its strength was greatly reduced.
Even if other forces joined forces, the Tang Dynasty was not without the power to fight.
At that time, with the territory of Yihua Palace as a fortress.
The Tang Dynasty could attack and defend, and it would be considered to have taken root in Qianzhou.
Li Chengqian wanted to annex Qianzhou, and the difficulty was reduced a lot.
However.
Among them, there is a bigger problem that cannot be ignored.
"But, with the current strength of our Tang Dynasty, can we really swallow up Yihua Palace in one bite?"
Xun Yu's unhurried voice soon came out in the hall!
That's right!
This is the biggest problem in Li Ru's plan!
No matter what.
This Yihua Palace is the eighth terrifying existence on the Yulong List!
It is also the leader of Qianzhou!
A true overlord-level force, its degree of terror is even higher than the three great imperial clans of the Holy Mountain of the human race.
This shows how deep its foundation is.
With the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is extremely difficult to win a quick victory!
"One more thing, everyone should know that Yihua Palace is the real top power in Qianzhou, with unparalleled prestige. Under such circumstances, it is still unclear whether Su Zi and Zhang Zi's trip will go smoothly!"
At this moment, Huo Guang raised an even bigger problem.
Previously.
All the heroes of the Tang Dynasty.
They are all considering what happens after borrowing the passage.
But, just as Huo Guang said.
Even Su Qin and Zhang Yi are both geniuses.
However, we still have to consider the influence of Yihua Palace in the entire Qianzhou!
The influence of Yihua Palace is really too huge.
Under this situation, it is still unknown whether Zhang Yi and Su Qin can succeed in borrowing the road!
If it is one of them, even if only one force informs Yihua Palace.
The result is that Yihua Palace is on guard.
By that time, let alone a quick victory, we may not even be able to win a protracted war!
after all.
The only advantage of the Tang Dynasty now is that it can declare war at any time to achieve unexpected results.
Rather than setting out a frontal battle between chariots and horses!
"Also, if there are forces in Qianzhou that are secretly subdued by Yihua Palace, what if there is a preset ambush and the dog is beaten behind closed doors?"
At the right time, Wei Zhongxian spoke carefully.
Although it is said that eunuchs cannot discuss politics.
but.
On Li Chengqian's side.
Wei Zhongxian controlled Dongchang and held a high position of power, and Li Chengqian did not regard him as an ordinary eunuch. Therefore, during the meeting in front of the palace, Wei Zhongxian could also interject a few words.
There are many outstanding people, and they will not be disgusted.
after all.
They were all born from the Heavenly Monument of Destiny.
strictly speaking.
All these great people have the same origin.
"Yes, we have to be careful. If Yihua Palace takes advantage of it, how should we deal with it?"
A long sigh.
A hint of sadness flashed across Xun Yu's face.
Talk about it.
This aspect.
No wonder there are so many outstanding people.
It is actually that Datang’s background is too shallow.
There is too little information about the entire Yulong Continent, especially the information about these big forces.
This aspect.
Even though Li Ru's Jinyiwei had been expanding their intelligence, it was difficult to keep up with the expansion of the Tang Dynasty.
You can't blame Li Ru's Jin Yiwei for not being strong enough.
"In this way, Wei Chen will take action personally and try to reach Qianzhou before Zhang Zi and Su Zi, so as to find out the situation in Qianzhou as quickly as possible!"
While talking.
Li Ru hurriedly stepped forward to ask for orders.
Information is more important than anything else!
In order to prevent Yihua Palace from taking advantage of the situation as much as possible, Li Ru felt that it was necessary for him to take the lead.
"fair enough!"
Li Chengqian raised his forehead slightly, but did not object.
he knows.
Now Li Ru's decision is right.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, no one can compare to Li Ru in terms of professionalism in conducting intelligence.
He has been in charge of Jinyiwei for too long.
"By the way, Li Ru, please give me a message to Zhang Yi and Su Qin. The three of you will act together on this trip, with you as the leader!"
"Without your information, Su Qin and Zhang Yi are not allowed to act without authorization!"
Fearing that Su Qin and Zhang Yi could not figure out the information, they would rashly go to various forces in Qianzhou to negotiate through the passage, so Li Chengqian hurriedly issued another oral order.
"promise!"
He solemnly handed over to Li Chengqian.
Li Ru also strode away.
In the pupils, a faint light flickered.
In a daze, it seemed like he was planning something.
"In this case, the subsequent plans will have to wait for news from Li Ru and the others to come back!"
"Everyone, let's disperse!"
He waved his hands to the crowd of heroes.
Li Chengqian felt a little unmotivated.
Just as he said.
They didn't wait for Li Ru and others to get back any specific news.
Any discussion now is empty.
Because if you fail to borrow Tao, everything will be just a castle in the air!
"promise!"
Farewell to all the outstanding people!
"By the way, Han Fei and Sun Wu are staying."
After thinking about it, Li Chengqian decided to let Han Fei and Sun Wu stay.
These two are both San Gong!
Han Feinai was Sikong of the Tang Dynasty, responsible for supervising the world!
Sun Wu was the Taiwei of the Tang Dynasty and was in charge of the military affairs of the Tang Dynasty!
Theoretically speaking, these two people now have the highest official positions in the entire Tang Dynasty.
This wave.
Li Chengqian left the two of them behind.
It is necessary to carefully plan the official positions of the Tang Dynasty!
Especially the civil service system!
As of now, it's not sound yet.
Li Chengqian just wanted to have a good negotiation with these two people.
Don't say anything else.
At least fill up the official ranks of the Six Departments of the Tang Dynasty first, right?
That's right.
This wave.
Li Chengqian planned to formally adopt a three-province and six-ministry system, and use this to formally fill official vacancies one by one.
It can also allow the entire Tang Dynasty to operate in an orderly manner.
"promise!"
After hearing this.
Although Han Fei and Sun Wu took orders one after another, they came down.
However, the eyes of the two people were full of doubts.
They were all making wild guesses in their hearts.
Why did Li Chengqian leave the two of them behind?
they do not know!
Vaguely.
They all had a bad premonition.
seem.
If there is anything to offend someone, ask them to do it.
Ah!
Don't tell me yet.
These two people’s premonitions are really accurate!
Helping Li Chengqian to arrange the civil service system is not an offense?
If one arrangement is not done well.
Next.
All the great men of the Tang Dynasty are loyal to Li Chengqian. It is not easy to blame Li Chengqian. What will happen?
At least, it is certain that Sun Wu and Han Fei will be in trouble.
Fortunately, they are both three officials with a high status.
Otherwise.
I am afraid that the mentality of the future may be annoyed!
"May I ask the Lord God, why did you leave us two?"
After everyone left one after another, Han Fei asked Li Chengqian cautiously.
"It's not a big deal, and you two don't need to be too nervous."
Li Chengqian smiled meaningfully at the two of them.
It's really nothing.
It's just that.
These two people may have to take a small blame.
Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing in his heart.
"Uh."
Han Fei's face was quietly bitter.
Although Sun Wu's expression was still solemn, his heart was a little nervous.
These two are not fools.
They naturally know that as the supreme god, Li Chengqian is more likely to be in trouble.
"Please let me know, God!"
Sun Wu asked while bowing solemnly to Li Chengqian.
"Well, relax, it's nothing."
"That's right, you see, the civil service system of our Tang Dynasty is still a little chaotic until now."
"I left you two here today so that you two can work with me to thoroughly improve the three provinces and six ministries."
As he said this, Li Chengqian's mouth corners slightly raised again.
The more he thought about it, the more interesting it was.
His intuition told him.
Now, Sun Wu and Han Fei must be very uneasy.
Interesting.
It must be very interesting!
The corners of his mouth slightly curled!
"Ah!"
"God, three provinces and six ministries, so many officials are appointed and dismissed, this..."
This time, even Sun Wu frowned unconsciously.
This is really a headache.
"Why, you two don't want to share my worries?"
Li Chengqian coughed deliberately, his tone slightly low.
"Don't dare!"
"Don't dare!"
Sun Wu and Han Fei said they didn't dare.
But in their hearts, they were still bitter!
Everyone felt like they were on a pirate ship.
"Lord God, why don't you hurry up and get all the ministers to study it together?"
"At least, let Xun Yu and Huo Guang participate, right?"
Han Fei whispered.
Trying to drag Huo Guang, Xun Yu and others into the water.
"No, there are too many people, it's not good, not to mention that in the entire Tang Dynasty, only the two of you have the right identities."
Looking at the two of them.
Li Chengqian smiled again.
Ranked among the three ministers.
The official position is high, but you also have to take on some responsibilities!
"Why don't you let the Lord God decide?"
Sun Wu asked tentatively.
"Do you think I can consider everything by myself?"
Li Chengqian smiled.
"Okay!"
It's time to get to this point.
Han Fei and Sun Wu both knew that they could not hide anymore.
They could not hide anymore.
Indeed.
The civil service system of the Tang Dynasty should be improved.
If the civil service system of the Tang Dynasty had not been delayed for so long.
I think the economy and internal affairs of the entire Tang Dynasty would have developed more smoothly, right?
With this thought.
Both of them knew.
The civil service system of the Tang Dynasty could not be delayed any longer.
At that moment.
They all became serious.
They began to search for candidates in their hearts.
They must make sure that the most suitable person sits in every position!
"You two, you all know that since I ascended the throne, the entire Tang Dynasty has been in a state of war."
"For so many years, my Tang Dynasty has hardly had a chance to rest and recuperate!"
"At present, the war in the Tang Dynasty has slowed down a bit. Taking advantage of the eve of the attack on Qianzhou, I also want to completely finalize the civil service system of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Please lend me a hand!"
"We must do our best to select the most suitable people and take the corresponding official positions!"
"Only in this way can the civil service system of the Tang Dynasty be put on the right track as quickly as possible!"
As he said.
Li Chengqian walked down from the throne unconsciously.
He bowed solemnly to the two of them.
"I dare not!"
"The Lord God is too serious. This is our duty and we must do it!"
At the same time.
Both of them hurriedly bowed to return the greeting.
They dare not accept Li Chengqian's greeting so calmly!
The loyalty in their hearts also prevented them from doing so!
"Okay, no more nonsense."
"This time, I will discuss with you from the six ministries!"
"The six ministries are divided into the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Works!"
"This time, I will formally appoint the six ministers and the left and right assistant ministers of the six ministries, a total of 18 official positions!"
"Among them, considering the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, I will promote the ministers of each ministry to the second rank official position!"
In the past, the ministers of each ministry were all third rank officials.
However, considering the abilities of a group of Tang Dynasty's outstanding people, Li Chengqian decided to promote this official position by half a level. In this way, it can be regarded as a small modification of the current situation of the Tang Dynasty.
"As for the left and right assistant ministers of each ministry, let's set them as third rank!"
Originally, the left and right assistant ministers of each ministry were all fourth-rank officials. Now, they have been promoted by half a level.
Hiss!
After hearing this.
Han Fei and Sun Wu both took a deep breath.
Neither of them expected it.
This time, Li Chengqian actually played such a big game.
He made a move and filled 18 vacancies in the six ministries!
That's right.
Strictly speaking.
Under the system of three provinces and six ministries.
Being able to reach the fourth rank is considered a big official.
"By the way, it is best to first select the peerless monsters for the ministers of each ministry!"
"Ah?"
As soon as Li Chengqian said this.
Han Fei and Sun Wu were both shocked.
How many peerless monsters are there in the entire Tang Dynasty?
Among them, the ones that have appeared so far are mainly military generals!
When there are not many scholars.
How difficult is it to arrange the six ministers?
Oh my God.
Neither of them could imagine it.
This time, what kind of six ministries will Li Chengqian come up with!
The six ministers are all peerless monsters. Isn't this lineup too luxurious?
In fact.
Not only Han Fei and Sun Wu, but Li Chengqian himself is also thinking about it.
It seems.
In this way, there are really not many outstanding people who meet his conditions!
There are really not many!
"God Lord, this is possible, but there are also big problems!"
"May I ask, God Lord, is a second-grade peerless monster too low?"
Sun Wu asked in a low voice.
His brows were furrowed.
Li Chengqian's idea is certainly good.
It can indeed create a luxurious and efficient six-ministry system.
But.
How arrogant is the peerless monster?
Is a second-grade peer enough to deal with it?
Obviously not enough!
Let alone the king rank above the first rank, after all, that requires great contributions to the Tang Dynasty to be awarded!
The entire Tang Dynasty.
So far, there are only three people who are king rank!
Jiang Wenhuan, the God of Destroying Mountains!
Lu Bu, the Flying General of the Demon Prison!
Huo Qubing, the Champion Marquis!
Xue Rengui, the White Robe Tiance!
The four of them all had overwhelming military merits to be awarded the title of king rank!
Among them, Xue Rengui's title shows Li Chengqian's love for him!
The White Robe Tiance, the focus is on Tiance!
Who was the Tiance title in the past?
What a glory, it goes without saying!
Of course.
Nowadays.
There are still some people in the entire Tang Dynasty who are qualified to be promoted to the king rank.
But.
During this period of time, on the one hand, Li Chengqian had too many things to do and did not make time to reward.
On the other hand, Li Chengqian did not think about how to reward and who to reward next!
These are all things that Cheng Li needs to weigh carefully.
The balance is far from as simple as imagined!
Let alone the reward of the king rank, Li Chengqian also had a plan for what Sun Wu said.
You know, since Li Chengqian has decided to rearrange the civil service system.
It is definitely not a casual mention.
Instead, he has a plan in mind.
"This is simple. At that time, I will give them a nominal title and let them be promoted to the first rank, but their main job is still the six ministers, that's enough!"
Smiled slightly.
Li Chengqian was confident that his solution would be fine.
In this way, nominally, the six ministries are below the three provinces.
However, the ministers of the six ministries can each have the first rank, which does not disgrace their status as the world's demons.
"The Lord God has considered it very properly."
As soon as Li Chengqian said this.
Sun Wu and Han Fei both breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way.
They have a bottom line in their hearts.
In this way.
At least in terms of arrangement, they will be able to be much freer.
It is also more compatible.
"Okay, no more idle talk, let's get started!"
As he said, Li Chengqian took out the Dragon List of the God Lord!
On it, all the densely packed civil servants' empty positions were cancelled!
Looking around, except for the God Lord Li Chengqian, the God Queen Tang Xueyan, the emperor's son and daughter, Li Hengzhi, Li Zini, as well as the Taiwei Sun Wu and Sikong Han Fei.
Only the military officer system is obscure.
And the civil official system has become completely blank.
It seems that it is waiting to discuss with Han Fei and Sun Wu and re-perfect the appointment!
"Look, I have cleared the Dragon List of the God Lord today. You should know that I am not kidding you!"
Looking at Sun Wu and Han Fei, Li Chengqian also expressed his determination in time.
"I understand!"
Both Sun Wu and Han Fei had a flash of enlightenment in their eyes.
"Okay, let's start with the Ministry of Personnel!"
Li Chengqian also had no intention of procrastinating.
He immediately wrote the four words "Minister of Personnel" on the Dragon List of the God Lord with a big stroke of his pen, and then the name was still blank.
It was clear that after the candidate was decided, he could be officially listed.
The Ministry of Personnel was in charge of the appointment, removal, examination, promotion, transfer and other affairs of officials across the country.
It had four departments: the Wenxuan Qingli Department, the Yanfeng Department, the Jixun Department and the Kaogong Department in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The chief of the department was the Langzhong, the deputy chief was the Yuanwailang, and its subordinates included the Zhushi, Lingshi, Shulingshi, etc.
The Wenxuan Qingli Division is responsible for examining the grades of civil servants, as well as the listing, examination, selection, promotion, and monthly selection.
The Yanfeng Division is responsible for the conferring of titles, hereditary positions, favors, difficult favors, requests for titles, and donations.
The Jixun Division is responsible for the mourning and end-of-life care of civil officials, and the handling of officials' succession, naturalization, and restoration of names and surnames.
The Kaogong Division is responsible for the punishment and deliberation of civil officials, and the handling of Beijing inspections and major plans.
The above are the responsibilities of the entire Ministry of Personnel.
At present.
Li Chengqian has no intention of personally appointing the officials of the four divisions under the Ministry of Personnel.
At that time, let the Minister of Personnel worry about it.
He only has three most important positions to consider.
The Minister of Personnel, the Left and Right Vice Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel!
"Lord God, the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the Ministry of Personnel, in this case, the Minister of Personnel must be impartial and not partial to personal feelings!"
"There are not many such candidates!"
"Yes, Lord God wants another world-class evil being to be the Minister of Personnel."
"In this case, the original Minister of Personnel, Changsun Wuji, can no longer serve as the Minister."
"Yes, this candidate is not easy to choose!"
For a while.
The first Minister of Personnel was stuck.
Whether it was Han Fei or Sun Wu, for a while, they did not have the right candidate in their minds.
"What do you think of Yu Qian?"
After a long time, holding his chin with his hand, Li Chengqian went through a circle of candidates in his mind, and finally spoke.
"Hey, Yu Qian, it's okay!"
"But, isn't Yu Qian the deputy commander and chief military advisor of the Chaofeng Corps?"
Yu Qian's status in the army is now very high.
Therefore, Han Fei and Sun Wu did not consider Yu Qian before, but because of his current military position, they subconsciously ignored him.
"It doesn't matter, you all listen to me, as long as the candidate is suitable, no matter which legion he is in, I will transfer him back."
Thinking that Sun Wu and Han Fei might give up the proposal because of the problem of the outstanding people in the army.
Li Chengqian gave them a guarantee.
After all, for Li Chengqian.
Now, it is true that some legions are already overflowing with outstanding people.
It is also appropriate to transfer some back to the civil service system.
"Okay, in this way, the problem is much simpler."
"We both agree with the proposal of the Lord of God, and we can appoint Yu Qian as the Minister of Personnel and officially take charge of the Ministry of Personnel!"
Next, things are much simpler.
The more Han Fei and Sun Wu thought about it, the more they felt that Yu Qian was suitable!
He has already been promoted to a peerless evildoer.
And.
He is even more of a general and a prime minister, a great talent!
He is also a person with clean hands, who is determined not to be partial to personal feelings for the sake of state affairs!
With all these things, Yu Qian is the most suitable person to serve as the Minister of Personnel.
"Well, OK, what about the left and right assistant ministers of the Ministry of Personnel?"
With a stroke of the pen!
The new Minister of Personnel Yu Qian was written on the Dragon List of the Divine Lord by Li Chengqian!
At the same time, Li Chengqian temporarily retained his position in the Chaofeng Corps.
Ranked first rank!
In this way, he holds three positions concurrently. Although the other two military positions are destined to become empty positions because he is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, it is definitely not an insult to Yu Qian!
"The Divine Lord's handling is very appropriate."
Looking at Li Chengqian's actions, Sun Wu finally put his mind at ease.
"I think that Changsun Wuji has been holding the position of Minister of Personnel before, and he has made great contributions. Although, now he needs to make some sacrifices because of the adjustment of the civil service system."
"But we can't let Changsun Wuji down. I suggest that Changsun Wuji be appointed as the Left Vice Minister of Personnel!"
The Left Vice Minister of Personnel is also a high position and power!
The Left and Right Vice Ministers are more respected!
In the absence of the Minister of Personnel, the Left Vice Minister is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel!
In this way, Changsun Wuji is demoted by half a level, but it is still acceptable.
"Well, it's okay, then Changsun Wuji will be the Left Vice Minister of Personnel, and pass on my order. In addition, give Changsun Wuji a position of military advisor in the Tiance Army of the Tang Dynasty, and rank him as the second rank!"
In terms of official power, Changsun Wuji was demoted by half a level.
In order to make up for Changsun Wuji.
It is also a trade-off. Li Chengqian gave him a nominal military position.
At the same time, his rank was promoted to the second rank!
In this way.
No matter what, Li Chengqian did not treat Changsun Wuji badly.
Not to mention, Li Chengqian had helped Changsun Wuji successfully advance to the peerless genius before!
All together, Li Chengqian's treatment of Changsun Wuji was definitely extraordinary.
"Next, what about the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?"
Li Chengqian asked again!
Compared with the Minister of Personnel and the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Although the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is not that important.
But, it is definitely not a position that anyone can take up.
It can be said.
The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is not a simple official position.
Its power, especially the actual power, is still quite large!
After thinking about it.
The peerless monster is not considered.
After all, no matter how extravagant Li Chengqian is.
He is not extravagant enough to appoint the peerless monster as the six ministers.
As for the peerless genius.
There are almost no suitable ones.
In this case, Li Chengqian can only focus on the top talents.
At the same time.
The same is true for Sun Wu and Han Fei. They both put their thoughts among the top talents.
Trying to find a candidate who has both ability and character.
Right Minister of the Ministry of Official Affairs!
This position is not easy!
"I wonder what the Divine Master and the Taiwei think of Xi Zhicai?"
A while passed.
Han Fei just spoke solemnly.
He selected Xi Zhicai from among the top talents.
now.
Although Xi Zhicai served as a military advisor in the Cao Wei Army.
But, tell the truth.
Today's Cao Wei Army has too many military advisors.
One more of him or one less of him has no effect at all.
It would be better to transfer him back to the imperial court and serve as the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, where his role would be greater.
"Xi Zhicai? Okay!"
Sun Wu's eyes also lit up.
Xi Zhicai is definitely capable!
He trusts absolutely.
Secondly, Sun Wu also had some understanding of Xi Zhicai.
In terms of character, there is no problem.
This way.
Let him serve as the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and there is no problem at all!
The rest depends on whether Li Chengqian is willing to transfer people from Cao Wei's army.
However, judging from the promise Li Chengqian gave them from the beginning.
Obviously, there is no problem at all in recruiting a drama talent.
Thinking.
Sun Wu turned his attention to Li Chengqian.
"Xi Zhicai is indeed a good candidate!"
"I agreed and passed on my order for Xi Zhicai to return to the court and serve as the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Talk about it.
Xi Zhicai was transferred back to the imperial court and served as the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which was considered a promotion.
With his status as a top figure, serving as a military advisor in Cao Wei's army can only be regarded as a fourth-grade official position.
With this callback, he directly became a third-grade official.
He is also the third-in-command of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his real power is much greater than being a military advisor in the Cao Wei Army.
After Li Chengqian set the tone.
On the list of divine masters.
In the civil service system, three more names appeared out of thin air!
Official Secretary: Yu Qian!
Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel: Changsun Wuji!
The Right Minister of the Ministry of Official Affairs: Play Zhicai!
"Okay, the three candidates for the Ministry of Personnel have been decided. Next, it's the turn of the Ministry of Revenue!"
Li Chengqian has always been impatient.
On weekdays, when sitting in the court and dealing with important matters, you still can't tell.
Beyond this subtlety, there is a vague feeling of being impatient.
but.
That's okay.
It's totally innocuous.
Li Chengqian himself had no intention of deliberately controlling it.
"Yeah! Tobe!"
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Sun Wu and Han Fei fell into deep thought again!
The Household Department is one of the six departments in charge of household registration and finance. The chief executive is the Secretary of the Department of Household Affairs. He was once called the District Official, the Great Situ, the Prime Minister, and the Great Agriculture Minister.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and wages, and all financial matters.
Its internal administration of government affairs is divided into divisions based on regions.
In addition to being responsible for saving money and food, each department is also responsible for some general affairs of other yamen, and their responsibilities often overlap.
All in all.
The Ministry of Household Affairs needs to be in charge of the entire Tang Dynasty's money bag, as well as the population and household registration of the entire Datang Dynasty. It has a heavy responsibility.
I want to become the chief official of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
You must have at least two skills.
First, you must be able to manage money, and it would be best if you can help Datang accumulate a lot of wealth!
Secondly, one must be unique in handling household registration. In other words, one must have excellent internal affairs capabilities!
These two points look at the entire Tang Dynasty.
Not many can meet this requirement!
Or.
There are only a handful of them, right?
It turned out that Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the Household Department, which was neither good nor bad.
Since we have to re-plan.
Of course it should be just right.
If it is not as good as Zhang Juzheng before.
Then Li Chengqian really might as well not be busy dealing with the three chief officials of the Ministry of Revenue.
"God Lord, there is a candidate, but there is a slight gap between him and God Lord's requirements!"
As he said this, Sun Wu seemed to have an idea.
Looking at Li Chengqian, there was a bit of embarrassment in his eyes.
"Oh? Lieutenant Sun Wu, you might as well tell me, we are discussing now."
"Speak out first. If it doesn't work, we can discuss it later!"
Nodding quietly to Sun Wu, Li Chengqian motioned for Sun Wu to speak out.
As Li Chengqian said.
Say it first.
As for whether to use it or not, we can discuss it later.
Anyway.
Now we are seriously discussing the appointment and removal of official positions in the six ministries.
It takes many discussions before a decision can be made!
"In that case, Wei Chen is bold enough to say it."
"Well, tell me!"
Li Chengqian looked like he was letting Sun Wuchang say whatever he wanted.
"Weichen thinks that Fan Li can be the Minister of Household Affairs!"
After saying that, Sun Wu looked at Li Chengqian closely.
Trying to see what Li Chengqian was really thinking.
Shang Sheng Fan Li?
This is an excellent choice.
From this one was born.
The Tang Dynasty has always been in war, but there is not a good opportunity for him to display his talents.
Li Chengqian has never given him too many arrangements.
No.
If Sun Wu hadn't said Fan Li's name at this moment.
Li Chengqian almost forgot that this person existed.
Think about it.
Except Fan Li is not a peerless monster.
All the others are extremely suitable for the position of Minister of Revenue.
First of all, the title of Business Saint has already explained a big problem!
Fan Li has absolutely no problem making money.
The Ministry of Revenue is handed over to him, and the money bag is absolutely guaranteed!
Then, Fan Li is not just a business saint, he is also a famous politician, military strategist, and Taoist scholar in the Spring and Autumn Period!
Having so many titles.
It is enough to show Fan Li's ability.
Li Chengqian believes that he is in charge of the household registration of the Tang Dynasty.
Fan Li definitely has this ability!
The rest.
It is a question of Fan Li's level.
Li Chengqian really wants the six chief officials to reach the level of peerless monsters.
But now, there is no other way.
It is not unacceptable to be a peerless genius!
What's more.
Fan Li is half a step away from being peerless!
Only one step away, he can officially step into the realm of peerless!
"What do you think, Lord?"
Seeing that Li Chengqian was silent, Sun Wu could not help but ask in a low voice.
"What do you think?"
"Han Fei, what do you think?"
Although he had already made up his mind.
However, Li Chengqian still wanted to listen to Han Fei's opinion before making the final decision.
"Lord, I think that Fan Li is the most suitable person to be the head of the Ministry of Revenue, the Minister of Revenue."
Han Fei also agreed.
"In this case, I have an idea in my mind."
"In this case, it's as you said!"
"Fan Li will be the temporary Minister of Revenue."
That's right, Li Chengqian still had some reservations in his heart.
So, Li Chengqian thought.
When Fan Li is promoted to the level of the world's evildoer, it won't be too late to make him the Minister of Revenue!
Then.
Li Chengqian waved his pen.
On the Lord's Dragon List.
It was Fan Li (temporary Minister of Revenue!)!
As for Fan Li's rank, it is definitely the first rank.
Because Li Chengqian appointed Fan Li as the head of the Shangdao Pavilion before, which is a formal first rank position.
Therefore, Fan Li has no problem with the rank.
He also serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Fan Li's actual power has increased a lot!
"Well, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has been decided. What suggestions do you have for the left and right assistant ministers of the Ministry of Revenue?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has been decided.
The next step is the appointment of the left and right assistant ministers of the Ministry of Revenue.
His knuckles tapped the table lightly.
In fact, Li Chengqian has already made a decision in his heart.
However.
He is not too sure.
He still needs to see what Sun Wu and Han Fei think.
In this way.
He can make the final decision.
"I think that Zhang Juzheng was the Minister of Revenue before."
"Now, the position of Minister of Revenue has been vacated by Fan Li."
"In this way, in order to compensate Zhang Juzheng, it is also to show the fairness of the God Lord."
"I suggest that Zhang Juzheng be appointed as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. At the same time, let him be a nominal military advisor in the Chaofeng Corps, and raise his rank, which can also be regarded as compensation!"
"What do you think of the God Lord?"
The speaker was Han Fei.
You can say.
His remarks were also considered comprehensively.
"Okay, I agree with Han Fei, the Minister of Revenue!"
Sun Wu immediately agreed.
This scene.
It can only happen in the Tang Dynasty.
After all.
If it were any other God Court.
If the Taiwei and the Minister of Revenue were so in harmony, the God Lord would definitely be very uneasy, right?
So.
Li Chengqian, the God Lord, was very stable.
He was not worried at all that his outstanding subordinates would have different intentions.
Therefore, this has long been commonplace.
There are not many thoughts to say.
"Okay, in this case, then I will decide."
"Zhang Juzheng will be the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. At the same time, I will let him be a nominal military advisor in the Chaofeng Corps, and the rank will be promoted to the second rank!"
Before, Zhang Juzheng was the third rank Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Now, he has been demoted half a level and became the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
However, in terms of rank, he has been promoted from the third rank to the second rank.
It can be regarded as a half-level increase.
In addition, letting him be a nominal military advisor of the Chaofeng Corps can be regarded as a nominal compensation for his position.
On the surface, Zhang Juzheng's demotion is not considered a demotion.
In a sense, it is still a promotion!
After all.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
In the future.
The civil service system of the Tang Dynasty will be completely renewed.
The functions and powers of the six ministries are probably completely different from the past.
Maybe, in the future, a left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue will be more powerful than the previous minister of the Ministry of Revenue?
These are all uncertain things!
No!
To be precise.
These are all things to be expected in the future!
"Okay, who do you think should be the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Next, it will be a little easier to appoint.
The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The third in command of the Ministry of Revenue is not as demanding as the previous two.
"I wonder what the Lord thinks of Heshen?"
Sun Wu asked with a frown.
He has many opinions about Heshen.
At least, from a purely flattering point of view, he couldn't stand it.
However, He Shen has also served as the Minister of Household Affairs for a long time.
He was certain.
He Shen is a very capable person.
Making money is great!
Before, the household department of the Tang Dynasty was almost empty.
If it relied solely on Zhang Juzheng, the Household Department of the Tang Dynasty might have completely ceased to exist in name only.
Fortunately, He Shen is here. He is a well-rounded person who is very good at making money and doing household registration checks.
It can be said that he is a master.
However, still at that point, Sun Wu felt that he could not compliment He Shen's character.
"As for Heshen, it's not impossible, it's just..."
Han Fei also said half of his words.
The meaning is basically the same as that of Sun Wu.
They all have a feeling of disdain for his character.
"Just He Shen!"
"By my order, from now on, He Shen will be the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, ranking third in rank!"
Compared with Han Fei and Sun Wu.
Li Chengqian's idea is much simpler.
He Shen has been serving as the Minister of Household Affairs for a long time, and Li Chengqian can see his abilities.
Then there is the issue of character.
In Li Chengqian's view.
He Shen flattered him and made him feel comfortable every time.
Is this a problem?
undoubtedly.
It doesn’t count!
At least.
Li Chengqian thinks.
This He Shen is a wonderful person and he likes him.
not to mention.
This life.
Because of Heshen's loyalty.
Apart from the occasional flattery, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
All these things combined make Li Chengqian's impression of He Shen quite good.
Therefore.
Regarding Heshen's appointment, Li Chengqian had no hesitation at all.
Thinking about it, He Shen will be secretly happy when the appointment comes out.
In terms of grade, it has improved!
He has become a third-grade official!
Heshen, a mere first-class person, is really proud of himself for being able to reach such a level.
"That's fine!"
Li Chengqian has made up his mind.
In addition, Sun Wu and Han Fei had no more suitable candidates to recommend.
Therefore, it was agreed that He Shen should be appointed as the right minister of the household department.
"Um."
Slight forehead.
Li Chengqian kept writing in his hands.
soon.
On top of the Divine Lord Dragon List, three more names were added.
Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue (temporary acting): Fan Li!
The left minister of the household department: Zhang Juzheng!
Right Minister of the Ministry of Finance: Heshen!
Among them, Zhang Juzheng is a person who has worked hard even if he has no merit.
Simply looking at its capabilities.
In fact, there are some problems with it staying in the household department.
only.
Under the current situation, Li Chengqian did not have a suitable position to arrange for Zhang Juzheng.
Therefore.
Let him serve as the left minister of the household department, and that's all he can do.
In addition, Li Chengqian also felt.
Zhang Juzheng's stay in the Ministry of Household Affairs has at least some benefits.
He's watching.
Whenever He Shen makes a small move, he will immediately restrain himself.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Zhang Juzheng's cold expression on He Shen!
That scene must be interesting, right?
"Okay, the Ministry of Household Affairs has already agreed."
"Next, Ministry of Rites, please think carefully about how to appoint the three chief officers of the Ministry of Rites."
Compared with the previous officials and households, in Li Chengqian's mind, the importance of the rites department was undoubtedly much lower.
Therefore, the words are also relaxed and freehand.
"Tobe's words!"
Said.
Sun Wu and Han Fei fell into deep thought again.
It is related to the fate of the country, and they cannot be allowed to be careless and think carefully before making a decision and recommending it to Li Chengqian!
The Ministry of Rites was established in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Sui and Tang Dynasties were one of the six tribes. Through the ages.
The chief officer is the Minister of Rites.
It is used to test the five rites of auspiciousness, good luck, military, guest, and bad luck; to manage school affairs across the country, imperial examinations, and the affairs of the vassal and foreign countries.
There are four divisions under the Ministry of Rites, which were divided into the Ming and Qing dynasties: the Ritual and Qing Li Division, which is in charge of rituals, military etiquette, and management of academic affairs and imperial examinations.
The temple is dedicated to the officials of the Qing Dynasty, and is in charge of auspicious and unlucky rituals.
In charge of the official affairs of the host and guest, in charge of guest etiquette and reception of foreign guests.
The Jingshan Qing Li Division is in charge of banquets, food, livestock, and prison matters.
in conclusion.
A person from the Ministry of Rites.
It is necessary to take charge of the imperial examination and select reserve talents for the country.
Because Li Chengqian has the Monument of Destiny in his hand.
Therefore, the imperial examination has not been paid much attention to.
For the entire Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was not that important.
In addition, it is a sacrifice, so this is a little bit important.
Li Chengqian didn't have much idea about the palace meals.
Probably, for Li Chengqian.
The most important person in the Ministry of Rites is diplomacy, right?
That's why.
Li Chengqian thought for a while.
That's the decision.
Minister of Rites, put diplomacy first!
"Do you have any ideas?"
"If you have any, just tell me!"
"There's no need to hide it. We, the monarch and his ministers, don't need to do that."
After a long time, Li Chengqian cast his eyes on Sun Wu and Han Fei and asked with a faint smile.
It can be seen from this that for the Ministry of Rites.
Li Chengqian overall seems very relaxed and freehand.
"Replying to the Lord, I think there are too many candidates for the position of Minister of Rites."
Yes, if we only choose from the peerless geniuses.
Then the range of choices is really not large.
But, with the precedent of Fan Li, the Minister of Revenue.
Sun Wu looked at the peerless geniuses and felt that there were really many people who were suitable for the position of Minister of Rites!
"Oh? Who are they? Tell me!"
Li Chengqian laughed again.
Indeed, it was just as Sun Wu said.
People who are suitable for the position of Minister of Personnel.
There are quite a lot.
There are many names flashing in his mind!
A little happy trouble.
"I think that Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Fei Zhong, and You Hun can all take the position of Minister of Rites!"
"Ah?"
After listening to Sun Wu's recommendation.
The first two.
Whether it is Su Qin or Zhang Yi, Li Chengqian can understand.
Yes.
What are Fei Zhong and You Hun in the back?
This has always been the case.
Didn't Sun Wu hate Fei Zhong and You Hun very much?
"Han Fei, what about you?"
Suppress the doubts in his heart.
Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Han Fei, wanting to hear if he had any other opinions!
"I will add three more people, Nanhua Laoxian, Pang Degong, and Shui Jingxian, who can all take up this position!"
Han Fei also spoke again.
"Oh?"
A light exclamation.
For Han Fei's voice.
Li Chengqian can also understand.
Shui Jingxian and Pang Degong, after all, are world-class monsters, and their abilities are beyond doubt. It is not a big problem for them to control a Ministry of Rites.
Nanhua Laoxian's words.
Han Fei should be out of considerations such as sacrifice and divination.
However.
Li Chengqian was the first to give up Nanhua Laoxian.
The Ministry of Rites he wanted.
Focus on diplomacy!
"Sun Wu, tell me what you think, why Fei Zhong and You Hun can also serve as the Minister of Rites!"
"Lord, I can recommend Fei Zhong and You Hun, although they have some problems in their conduct!"
"But, they are just like Heshen, just minor details, not a big problem!".
Sun Wu paused slightly.
Li Chengqian was very curious, what would Sun Wu say next?
