Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Li You's confusion didn't last long. On the morning of the third day after finding out the source of the funds, a dozen or so people came to King Yan's Mansion with imperial edicts.

Judging from the imperial decree, these people will all become Li You's subordinates in the future.

The positions of these people are different from Gongcao to Changshi, and their positions are not only Yanwang Mansion and Shence Mansion, but even Youzhou Dudu Mansion in Youzhou.

Looking at the dozen or so new subordinates in front of him, Li You couldn't help but smile bitterly. He finally understood why Li Chengqian gave him money.

Perhaps, this is Li Chengqian's way of apologizing.

[Okay, Li Chengqian, you said in front of Li Er that you wanted to reduce the number of officials, but you didn't expect to put people on my side! 】

[But this idea is definitely not something you can come up with. I don’t know who made this bad move. If I find out, I will definitely not let him go! 】

Just as Li You was gnashing his teeth, Li Shimin who was far away in the main hall sneezed for no reason.

'Who is scolding me behind my back! '

Yes, the instigator of this incident was Li Shimin.

During this period of time, apart from studying government affairs with Li Shimin, Li Chengqian spent most of his time dealing with the reduction of officials in the Ministry of Officials.

After Du Yan's death, Li Shimin did not appoint a new Minister of the Ministry of Officials for a while, but let Du Ruhui temporarily lead the Ministry of Officials.

In this way, the power of Li Chengqian, the official secretary of the school, became even greater.

It is precisely because of this that Li Chengqian finally completed the list of officials in the capital that needed to be streamlined.

However, seeing this list, Li Chengqian was in trouble.

It's not that there's anything wrong with this list, these condensed positions have been repeatedly demonstrated by Li Chengqian and the Donggong scholars.

For this reason, he also specifically asked Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling for advice, and they all agreed.

It was these downsized people who made Li Chengqian difficult.

Although these have been streamlined, there are also problems with their own abilities, but more of them are due to the overlapping of original positions.

Li Chengqian's original idea was to transfer these people to replace those officials with insufficient capabilities, and in fact most of them were handled in this way.

But he really couldn't find a way to resettle the last dozen or so people left.

It's not because there is any problem with this person's ability. On the contrary, they are pulled out one by one to see that they are all the best among officials.

And the reason why they couldn't transfer outside was more because of their identities.

These people may come from aristocratic families, or have made great contributions to the founding of the country. If they are transferred to other places in this way, they may attract criticism and even affect the streamlining plan this time.

Li Chengqian, who was extremely distressed, told Li Shimin about the matter, hoping to seek help from his father.

When Li Shimin saw this list, he was also a little difficult at first.

He can understand the few founding heroes in this list with reason and emotion, but he can't do anything about the disciples of the aristocratic families.

At this moment, Li Shimin saw a report on the use of bond funds sent by the Ministry of Accounts, and immediately had an idea.

"Since the emperor thinks it's difficult to send these people out of the capital, why don't you make a favor and leave it to your brother."

"Except for King Yan's Mansion and Shence Mansion's long histories, the Youzhou Governor's Mansion doesn't even have a long history!"

Li Chengqian was overjoyed at the beginning, sending these people into the palace would not cause too much controversy.

But after that, he hesitated: "Father, is it really appropriate to go over a dozen people at once?"

"Emperor brother, he will have no problem."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What's the problem?"

"He has so many properties now, and his subordinates are simply too busy. If you ask these ministers to help, he will not be happy in time."

Ever since, there was this dumbfounding scene in front of Li You's eyes.

To be honest, Li Chengqian's dozen or so people are really a big gift in Li You's opinion.

Although there are one or two disciples from aristocratic families among the dozen or so people, there are also many famous civil servants and military generals.

Among the civil servants, Yu Chang, the son of Secretary Supervisor Yu Shinan, and Xu Jingzong, who was listed as the Eighteenth Bachelor of the Qin Palace with Yu Shinan, were among the civil servants.

Among the generals, there is also Zheng Rentai, a guerrilla general who has been on Li Shimin's side even though he was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang. He also participated in the Xuanwumen Incident.

Among these famous names, one name caught Li You's special attention.

"Why is he in there too?"

This person, speaking of it, is also the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, and the absolute confidant of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

At that time, he urged Li Yuan to revolt, and pretended to hear someone calling Tang Gong the emperor in the sky.

He also said that he once dreamed that Li Yuan rode a horse and ascended to the sky, touching the sun and the moon with his hands, and dedicated the military book he wrote to Li Yuan for reading. Li Yuan was overjoyed and agreed to share the wealth.

However, after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Yuan abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, which made this person's situation very embarrassing.

Although Li Shimin still believed in him, there was no suitable position for him.

This person is Ying Guogong warrior Xun, one of the seventeen "Taiyuan Yuanmou Heroes".

Of course, what attracted Li You's special attention was not the status of the warrior Yu Yuanmou as a hero, but that he had a good daughter for Wu Zetian, the emperor of Wu Zhou.

Counting the time, Wu Zetian at this moment is just a four or five-year-old child who has just started enlightenment.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin summoned warriors to return to the court, and rewarded them with courtesy.

However, this stay is two years.

Although the samurai Xun has received more courtesy in the past two years, he is not very satisfied. Because of his relationship with the Supreme Emperor, he seems to be walking on thin ice.

Seeing this name, Li You also felt a sense of emotion: "The fate of this person has really changed because of my arrival."

According to history, in December of the first year of Zhenguan, after Li Xiaochang, the governor of Lizhou, rebelled against the guard officer Liu Deyu, Changsun Anye and others, the warrior Xun would be appointed as the governor of Lizhou in the face of danger.

However, this time, after Li Xiaochang realized something, he drew a clear line with Liu Deyu, Changsun Anye and his friends, and the original rebellion naturally did not happen.

In this way, the warrior Xun lived in Chang'an for a long time.

This time, the position that Samurai Yu was transferred to was Chief History of the Governor's Mansion of Youzhou. Such an important position gave him the title that Duke Ying deserved.

Thinking of the possible chain reaction caused by this change, Li You felt a headache.

In the end, Li You simply didn't think about it so much, and asked Liu Ji to bring everyone up.

Anyway, we all have to see each other, so it's better to see each other once to save trouble.

Soon these dozen or so people appeared in front of Li You according to their positions.

However, apart from the few famous people I saw just now, an unremarkable son of a family has attracted Li You's attention.

This is a young man with pale skin and somewhat sickly appearance.

"What's your name?"

Out of curiosity, Li You asked.
