Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

Li Wenbin was wearing the prince's court clothes and a golden crown on his head, with a happy face: "Thank you, Aunt Wei."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Mrs. Pei is also a daughter of an aristocratic family. She has seen the world, and she dare not even say that she dare not be so, so she asked Li Wenbin to sit down in front of the bed, and went to serve tea by herself.

Looking at the "dying" Wei Zheng lying on the bed, Li Wenbin smiled and said, "Wei Gong, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you so seriously ill?"

"..."

Wei Zheng's lips moved slightly, but he didn't make any sound.

"Hey, it seems that Duke Wei still hates my nephew. That day in the hall, my nephew had no choice but to go so extreme. Unexpectedly, Duke Wei's mood was so agitated that he vomited blood. It was really my nephew's fault."

"Here, my nephew apologizes to you. Please don't mind, Mr. Wei."

Wei Zheng continued to play dead.

"Hey, Jizhou came to report that there was a severe drought in Hebei Road. It is a thousand miles away. If the government doesn't help the victims and open warehouses to release grain, I'm afraid it will repeat the tragedy of the end of the Sui Dynasty. Yizi will eat each other."

"Wei Gong has always been familiar with Hebei, so I don't know what can I teach my nephew?"

Wei Zheng moved his fingers lightly, but he still looked very weak.

"My nephew wants the governor of Jizhou to open a warehouse to release grain to help the victims. However, Jizhou has been impoverished for a long time, and I am afraid that there is not much grain in the treasury. If the imperial court is to transport grain to Hebei, it must be dispatched by the imperial court. "

"It's just that my nephew is only in charge of the country. He has a blind eye to the affairs of the court. He can't even name the names. How can he know who to send? So I think, I want Wei Gong to take the lead and send Yushitai. The Yanguan acts as an observer and oversees the disaster relief."

"How does Duke Wei feel?"

Seeing that Wei Zheng was still unresponsive, Li Wenbin could only sigh: "Hey, Mr. Wei is seriously ill. If that's the case, then my nephew can't bother me anymore. My nephew can only send Hou Junji to serve as an imperial envoy for disaster relief." gone."

While speaking, Li Wenbin shook his head and stood up, ready to leave.

"No, absolutely not!"

Wei Zheng didn't want to talk at first, but when he heard that Li Wenbin was going to send Hou Junji to preside over the disaster relief, how could he bear it?
Although he is from Shandong, Hebei and Shandong are too close. Once the severe drought causes bad effects, Shandong will also suffer.

Once those refugees go to Shandong, it will be over.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, you must not send Hou Junji there!"

Looking at Wei Zheng, whose beard and hair were all stretched out and his face flushed red, Li Wenbin laughed in his heart: "Wei Gong, you are..."

"Forget about the old man, Your Highness, you must not send Hou Junji there! Otherwise, there will be chaos on Hebei Road!"

"Oh, why is that?"

"Hou Junji has long been impeached for being greedy for ink. If he is sent to relieve disasters, wouldn't that be like putting a mouse in the rice barn? Is that okay?"

Li Wenbin had heard about this. It was around the fourth year of Wude that some officials came forward to impeach Hou Junji, accuse him of greedy ink spoils, and allow his subordinates to plunder the people.

It's just because of his standpoint, and because he had to rely on Tiance Mansion to conquer the world for the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan finally suppressed this matter.

This time the impeachment did not cause much disturbance in the court, and Wei Zheng brought up the old matter at this time, obviously because he had his own opinion.

"Your Highness, don't think that this old man is eliminating dissidents or attacking political opponents. The matter of Lu Guogong's corruption of ink has long been settled. That's why this old man thinks that Hou Junji must not be sent there!"

Li Wenbin originally just said it casually, mainly because he wanted to provoke Wei Zheng into an attack, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret.

"Duke Wei, don't worry, this king will definitely follow your advice and choose another talented person to go to Hebei to preside over disaster relief."

"Your Highness, you just said that you sent the censor as an observation envoy to Hebei to supervise the disaster relief. The old man thought that two groups of people should be sent, one in the light and the other in the dark, so that we can truly grasp the real situation in Hebei."

"That's right, that's right, it really is an old man who seeks the country. This king admires it. Duke Wei, please accept my worship."

"Hmph, the old man can't bear His Highness's great gift. I just hope that His Highness can let this old bone of this old man go."

This old man is quite small-minded, Li Wenbin chuckled: "How can it be, you are the assistant minister left by the father to the king. If you are thrown aside, the king will be scolded."

Wei Zheng was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at him carefully for a while: "Unexpectedly, His Highness's thoughts are so delicate. Few people in the civil and military circles can see through His Majesty's deep meaning, but His Highness can see it all at once."

"Your Highness, can you tell the old man, how did you find out?"

"Wei Gong, this is just an intuition of this king. Father, he brought almost all the important officials, but he only kept you. It will never be as simple as ignoring you."

"Father is an enlightened emperor, so naturally he would not do such a thing. Therefore, after excluding other answers that are wrong at first glance, this is the only possibility left."

"Hmph, just now when the old man was lying down, he called himself 'little nephew', but now he calls himself 'the king'. Don't tell me you want the old man to be your assistant?"

"Temporarily, temporarily. Your majestic Shangshu Zuocheng, my nephew is not qualified to let you be an assistant."

Wei Zheng snorted again, but his expression softened a lot—in any case, Li Wenbin had given himself enough face, and he didn't want to really show his face to the supervisor.

"Since this is the case, then I must do my best to assist Your Highness."

"Then Wei Gong, then we will make a deal."

Li Wenbin issued an order in the name of supervising the country, and added the word "censorship" to Wei Zheng's Shangshu Zuocheng, which was tantamount to treating him as the current prime minister—of course, it was also temporary.

In a few days, Gao Shilian returned from Yizhou Xingtai, and Li Wenbin asked him to serve as the chief of staff of the staff department temporarily.

In this way, Gao Shilian was in charge of coordinating the overall situation, Wen had Xu Jingzong, Wu had Hou Junji, and Wei Zheng was in charge of checking for gaps and making up for them. At least they put up the airs for Li Wenbin.

With these few people around, those imperial officials no longer dared to steal and play tricks. In addition, Li Wenbin killed a few "chickens" ruthlessly, which completely shocked the monkeys.

The atmosphere in the court has changed drastically, and many newly promoted officials have been enriched in various joints and vital parts, but after only half a month, they radiate a kind of vitality.

And Li Wenbin has gained a lot of experience in handling political affairs through this half month of training.

Originally, it took him a lot of time to review the memorials, but after these days, Li Wenbin felt more and more relaxed, and he became more and more comfortable with the memorials.

And Li Shimin also sent several battle reports, the content was similar, they all said that Luo Yi was very cunning, the army could not capture his main force, and it might take a while.

For Li Wenbin's actions in the court, Li Shimin gave him great affirmation, and specially added several false titles to him as a reward.

With Li Shimin's support, Li Wenbin became more courageous, and began to prepare to implement some plans that he had never dared to think of before.

……

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin has been waiting for you outside for some time."

Qiuxiang has been promoted to the head of the harem at this time, and she has great power, but she is still serving the eldest grandson queen personally.

"Please come in, King Qin."

"Here."

Although he was busy, he would never forget to greet Li Wenbin to Empress Changsun once a day.

"Greetings, son to mother."

"Get up. Wen Bin, what's the matter with your eyes?"

Empress Changsun looked at Li Wenbin and asked in surprise, "Have you stayed up late again?"

"Hey, mother should be more concerned, my son is a little busy these days, so he sleeps very late."

"Wen Bin, you are now a supervisor, which is different from before. You should pay attention to your body."

"Yes, that's what the mother taught me. By the way, mother, look, this is something designed by my son. It's called a blast furnace."

"blast furnace?"

It was the first time Empress Changsun heard of this term: "What is this thing used for?"

"This kind of blast furnace can greatly increase the temperature of the furnace fire, so that better quality steel can be produced."

"Oh? There is such a thing?"

Empress Changsun was very interested in hearing this - although she is a woman, she also knows how important steel is to the country.

In the era of cold weapons, this can almost determine the life and death of a country.
