Crown Tang emperor

The selection of rites by the imperial court and the importance of the country have been perfected many times since the first emperor. Although it is not yet perfect, it is also a collection of pearls of wisdom from the capable and capable ministers of successive generations of Ming emperors.People come in from the door of talent, and I will wait for it, but if you want to mess with my rules based on personal feelings, the family law will not tolerate it, and the national law will not tolerate it!In this, it is inevitable for me to care about gains and losses, how can I give a calm measure to all the families in the pass? "

Although accepting Yang Xi'er as a concubine is also Li Tong's expression to the world that he is willing to reach an attitude of understanding and harmony with some old personnel, but it does not mean that the selection will be wide-ranging.

His so-called reconciliation means that I will no longer pursue your old bad habits. As long as you still have the ambition to serve the country, then someone will contribute, and if you have money, you will be treated equally with others in terms of political treatment. suppress.

But if someone thinks that he is already complacent, his fighting spirit has weakened, and he can play favoritism and disrupt the law as much as he wants, and be a happy rice bug, that is purely overthinking.

Gentleman's Ze, beheaded for the fifth generation, the current situation in the Tang Dynasty really has nothing to do with Gaozu Li Yuan, who can rest on the credit book?

Hearing the words of the sage, Yang Zhiyi was also secretly glad, feeling that his decision was not wrong.

If he is still nostalgic for the prosperity of Gyeonggi and unwilling to leave, he may be able to be honored for a while with this kinship relationship, but the intricate network of human relationships among Guanlong Shiliu has already become a stinky ditch. , Maybe one day it will be planted in it.At that time, will it really be possible to hear the cranes in Huating?

After talking with Yang Zhiyi about the relationship between the administration of officials and human relations, Li Tong explained what specific aspects he should work on after he arrived in Xiangzhou.

Today, a business network with Guanzhong as the center and covering Huayi all over the world has been initially formed. If it wants to continue to develop and strengthen, the construction of each node must also keep up.

Xiangzhou is located in the Han River Basin, and the Han River is connected to the Yangtze River, so this location is of great significance for connecting the past and the future between Guanzhong and Shannan.

So after Yang Zhiyi went to Xiangzhou, he couldn't hold his hand and ignore government affairs. There were many things to worry about.In addition to the government affairs of the state, we must also focus on ensuring the smooth flow of the Hanshui channel, eliminating river bandits, building warehouses, ensuring smooth logistics, and so on.

After some face-to-face instruction, it was getting late, so Li Tong simply left Yang Zhiyi to have dinner in the palace, and summoned Zhaorong Yang Xi'er together, and asked her to say goodbye to her relatives.

After a small family banquet was over, Yang Zhiyi bid farewell to leave the palace, and will officially embark on his official career tomorrow.After Yang Zhiyi left, the atmosphere in the room inevitably became a little ambiguous.

The saint didn't take the initiative to speak, so Yang Xier didn't say goodbye, she sat down in the mat, her eyes frequently drifted upwards, as if she was waiting for the saint to leave her behind to continue practicing physical skills.

At the moment, Li Tong was lying half up on the couch, sipping tea to digest food. After a while, Yang Sixu came up to the hall again and said, "Sage, a new batch of weapons made by the Beidu Military Weapons Supervision arrived at the Beijing warehouse. The booklet is handed down, do you want to approve it now?"

Li Tong frowned in displeasure after hearing the words, as if complaining that Yang Sixuan disturbed his digestion, and Yang Xi'er hurriedly got up, lowered her head and said: "Military affairs are the most important thing, I don't dare to bother you anymore, please resign and go back to the court first." .”

After hearing the words, Li Tong sighed regretfully, then raised his hand and ordered Lego to arrange for the palace officials to send Yang Zhaorong away.After Yang Xi'er left, he changed his robes for meeting guests, and went to the archery hall at the back of Zichen Hall to exercise his muscles and bones, and competed with Yang Sixuan in archery skills.

After sitting for a long time, the muscles and bones will inevitably become stiff. After shooting a pot of arrows, Li Tong glanced at Yang Sixuan who wanted to have fun but didn't dare to because of the head shot, and said with a hum: "Mr. I, leaving you in the palace as a servant, is a shame."

Yang Sixuan had been with the saint for a long time, so of course he could hear the good words, so he didn't dare to say anything, just bowed his head and giggled.At the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart. The saint had never won an archery competition with him. Why did he look so unhappy today?

A pot of arrows was shot out, regardless of the results, at least the muscles and bones were stretched, and the sweat was poured out. After the fatigue faded away, I felt comfortable.

At this time, Gao Lishi walked into the archery hall again, and asked in a low voice: "Sage, the new deer blood from the apse has been prepared, do you want to use it now?"

After Li Tong heard the words, a nauseating feeling of wanting to vomit suddenly appeared in his heart, and he waved his hands again and again.The reason why he didn't let Yang Zhaorong stay, of course, was not because he was afraid of this little lady, since he has the strength to draw a bow, of course he can also ride a horse.It's just that he has been fed deer blood for several days, and his appetite is really unbearable.

After rejecting the deer blood offered by Gao Lishi, Li Tong took another look at Yang Sixuan, who was still smirking, and the extremely different results on their target targets, and couldn't help sighing: "I'm tired of women, otherwise, why would I be so old?" Slavery?"

"It's extreme, it's extreme! Slaves are not superior in skills, but in their hearts."

After hearing this, Yang Sixu nodded quickly and said.

A good night's sleep, nothing left to say.The next day was another full day of busy government affairs. After the morning court, before Yang Zhiyi's enthusiasm for asking for a foreign post had passed, Li Tong left the members of the Political Affairs Hall to discuss adding another job in July. One-subject system examination plan.As for this round of examinations, it is planned to be called the Border Fuyuan Division, and a group of border affairs talents will be selected from among the best to cooperate with the imperial court's next development plan.

Since the Kaiyuan period, except for the Guoyun Beauty Equipment Department, which was set up in the early years to select talents for the Jiyingguan reserve, there have been few compulsory examinations.After all, in recent years, focusing on recuperation, the demand for specialized talents is not high, and the number of places in the imperial examination has increased greatly, and the selected group of scholars must first digest.

So when the news spread that the imperial court was about to re-open the system of examinations, the Beijing Central Shiliu were all gearing up to take the system examination this time.

"Er Cao don't have to envy me for my beautiful beard. If you are still clumsy in writing this time, you can cut off your beard with a knife, so as to show your ambition!"

Xiao Song, who was a guest at his brother-in-law Lu Jingchu's house when he heard that the imperial court had reopened, raised his hand to clap the case, expressing his attitude with excitement and resolutely.

Pei Yaoqing, a student at the Jiyingguan, laughed when he heard this, and quickly said: "Don't waste the severed beard and hair, and simply give me a pen to make, just in time for this year's exam. If I can give it to you, Xiao will definitely give it to me." Xu can also be honored with me, so that I won't lose my name."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, but when they saw Xiao Song's fire-seeking eyes, they all shut their mouths again.

"If I don't come in first, the boy may not be able to hit. If you are talented or weak, you may not be allowed to enter the arena!"

Looking at this kid who was still smiling and reckless, Xiao Song said viciously.

Chapter 0897 human relations and righteousness, the law of the country is hard to win

In July, about 700 people participated in the Bianfuyuan Division, and the scale is generally not too large.Compared with thousands of applicants for other subjects, it is clear that Shiliu is not very enthusiastic about border affairs.

Moreover, there are many impostors among them, such as electors who linger in the capital and refuse to leave. The reason why they apply for the election may not be that they have the ability or interest in border affairs, but they just regard it as a Opportunity, if you have a date or not, hit a shot first.

The change of the world style is not something that can be achieved overnight, especially when it is related to the future of one's life, there will inevitably be more worries.Regarding this point, the imperial court had also foreseen that after screening out some impostors, they made a careful selection of the remaining applicants, and finally selected the three applicants and the third.

This kind of recruitment ratio seems extremely amazing, but this is the normal state that the system should have.The system of examinations is opened in case of trouble, which is far different from the regular examinations such as Mingjing and Jinshi. It must be more targeted and pragmatic, and the selection criteria for talents will naturally be stricter.

The Guoyun beauty instrument department opened by Li Tong at the beginning was originally to enrich the newly opened Jiyingguan and train it as a reserve of talents, so 24 Shiliu Junyan were selected.Such a selection number is extremely rare in the system.

But this time, the recruitment of border affairs talents is to be directly used on the frontier for training and use. If they are entrusted to non-human beings, the border affairs situation may be affected and destroyed, so the selection of talents is naturally more careful. Be careful, it is definitely better to lack than to abuse.

The Prime Minister Zhang Renyuan, who is the chief examiner this time, also stated a little bit about his own criteria for selecting officials and scoring papers after sending the list: "The selection of ministers is not based on family background or wind. Whether to choose or not to choose depends on the right strategy. All the strategies are correct, those who are gorgeous in words are dismissed, and the affairs of the border are straightforward and simple, and no pretense or embellishment is allowed. Those who focus on rhetoric are inevitably ingenious and superficial..."

Hearing Zhang Renyuan's comment, Li Tong adjusted his sitting posture a little unnaturally. Although most of his poems were borrowed, he still felt somewhat offended by Zhang Renyuan's comment.

Zhang Renyuan also realized that he had made a slight slip of the tongue, and after a short pause, he continued: "The sage is different from ordinary talents, the master of the world, but he can know people and make good use of them, and accept advice with an open mind. .”

Why don't you explain it, don't mention this, I'll get over the embarrassment in a while, this statement makes me feel a little bit weak, but it doesn't make me happy!

Li Tong cursed in his heart, and waved his hand to signal Zhang Ren to continue talking.

"Anyone who discusses, is not specific in words, is too long to talk about and loses in practice, will not be selected. The side affairs are complicated and detailed, and everything is done in practice. If you are careless, you will be careless. If you are greedy, you will miss the small. Those who must talk and fight will not be allowed. Selection is a major matter for soldiers, and the power lies with the monarch. Although it is temporarily left to the minister, the minister should not use it lightly. Church..."

Hearing what Zhang Renyuan said, Li Tong couldn't help laughing again.Of course, he agreed with this point of view, but it was unavoidably strange for Zhang Renyuan to say such words.It should be noted that when this guy was in the northeast, he arranged military operations more than once without asking the court for instructions. Although he was a civilian army, he was a typical example of substituting offense for defense.

But now that Guichao is the prime minister, in the selection criteria, he feels that the general's subjective initiative is too high as a shortcoming.This is really the ass determines the head. Today's me is not yesterday's me, and I am very advanced with the times.

Li Tong basically agreed with Zhang Renyuan's list of selection criteria, but when his eyes fell on the list of applicants submitted by Zhang Renyuan, he couldn't help being taken aback.

The three candidates who were elected were Liu Yu, the city's trade order, Xiao Song, a student of Yingyuan in the Privy Council, and Tian Renwan, a candidate from Yongzhou.Seeing Xiao Song's name listed in it, Li Tong couldn't help feeling relieved for this guy, it was really not easy, and he finally made it to his prime.

As one of the well-known Kaiyuan ministers, Xiao Song can be regarded as a model of a late bloomer. Before he became famous, he had another nickname, that is, the embroidered pillow.

In terms of background, this guy is not bad at all. He was born in a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Lanling Xiao family and Emperor Zong of the Southern Dynasty. In terms of appearance, he is also a handsome guy. , are close friends, often contacts.

But when it comes to talent, it's a bit hard to say.That is to say, because of the memories of later generations, Li Tong paid attention to this guy. If he didn't have this understanding, whoever wants to recommend Xiao Song's article to himself, Li Tong might directly slap that person on the face , this guy's article level is probably a little better than my son Li Daonu, so I'm here to recommend it, what about his face?

As for Tian Renwan, the candidate from Yongzhou, Li Tong took a closer look at his family background and found that he was also a member of the Guanlong Xungui. He was of the same clan as the ministers Tian Guinong and Tian Guidao. His own talent and desire to improve are quite impressive.

The two wrote their own articles, and Li Tong also read them all. Among them, Xiao Song talked about the restraint strategy against the Hus in the Western Regions. The relationship between them has been sorted out very clearly, which shows that they really put their heart into this aspect.

As for the source of his information, it probably comes from his classmates in Yingyuan Baofang.In the past few years, the imperial court's martial arts institutions have also recruited many soldiers for systematic training in Zhubian, including Gao Sheji, Gao Xianzhi's father who was born in Gaoguli Chengpang.

Xiao Song, as an old repeater in Yingyuan, has been squatting for several years.And this policy paper handed in by the examination office this time is enough to show that he has not been wasting the past few years in fighting chickens and walking dogs. He understands that he should have no bright future in terms of article politics, so he simply focuses on the opposite side. understanding of love.

Although the words of this policy article are unsightly as usual, its content is informative and rich.Fortunately, it was Zhang Renyuan who presided over the election this time. One of the selection criteria was different from previous years, and the other was that Zhang Renyuan had stayed in Anxi for several years and had been in charge of the Xihe agency for many years. That's why I can see the value of this policy article.

If these conditions are not met, Xiao Song may not be able to succeed, and he will continue to sit on the bench.After all, even if Li Tong pays a little attention to him, it is impossible to pay attention to his growth all the time. Besides, the world is very different now, who knows whether Xiao Song can still achieve his original achievements.Of course, it was impossible for Li Tong to give him the opportunity of state affairs based on some vain understanding before his ability was verified.

As for this Tian Renwan, he mainly talked about opening borders and farmland, which should also have a certain family background.Because his uncle Tian Guinong of the Shu nationality was an official in charge of the rich households in the Guan Tun as early as the Xingtai period.

To be honest, Li Tong really didn't know much about the farming environment and farming strategies in the frontier.He has never been in this world, so far, the farthest place he has been to is Shanzhou in Longyou, and most of the rest of the time is spent wandering between the two capitals.

In fact, he also has some ideas of patrolling the border, and wants to go to the border of Datang to see it in person, but until now there is no chance, he can't leave the business in Beijing and take a trip as soon as he wants, Maybe a hundred years ago, Emperor Sui Yang looked at him cheerfully under the spring.

Although his own knowledge and experience are not enough for Li Tong to judge whether this policy essay is good or bad, seeing that the evaluations given by several review officials, including Zhang Renyuan, at the end of the paper are not low, then Li Tong is also It was assumed that Tian Renwan was indeed a side job talent.

The two selected candidates are not good enough, but Liu Yu, the city trade order, is a bit eye-catching.

Although the number of participants in this election was not large, the standard was not low. It was not only for people who had not yet served as officials in Beijing, but also officials who were already serving in the imperial court and various divisions were allowed to participate.If there are ministers who do have relevant talents and want to adjust their jobs, and want to join the army and go to the frontier to make meritorious service, the imperial court will naturally welcome it.

However, this Liu Yu is really special. The Department of City and Trade is the most important hot department in Beijing today. As the chief of the Yamen, Liu Yu's official position has reached the level of the provincial government, and he is already the backbone of the imperial court. , only one step away from Sipin Tonggui Capital.

Such an official position should actually participate in the election, which is really unnatural and incomprehensible.In addition, the current division of powers and ownership of the Department of Marketing and Trade is still quite controversial in the court, so after seeing that Liu Yu was also included in the list, Li Tong subconsciously felt that there was something strange about it.

Although he was a little puzzled, Li Tong did not show it in front of Zhang Renyuan, nor did he immediately approve the list. Instead, he waved his hand to signal Zhang Renyuan to go back to the Political Affairs Hall first, and then ordered the middle officials to go to the imperial city government office. The secretary went to summon Liu Yu, the city's trade order.

He waited for half an hour before Liu Yu came late under the guidance of the Zhongguan.Seeing Liu Yu's messy beard and hair, and the ink stains on the front of the crimson official robe, Li Tong put down the Chinese book in his hand, and said with a smile: "The government office is busy, Liu Ling must be very busy, right?"

"The humble minister is generous with the lotus emperor's kindness, and pays more and more attention. He should donate all his talents and strive for nothing!"

After hearing the words, Liu Yu quickly kowtowed and said that his ascension process was bizarre and swift, and he had not had much experience in discussing affairs with saints face to face, so he seemed a little nervous and dull at the moment.

Hearing this well-regulated answer, Li Tong smiled lightly, and immediately his face turned serious, knocking on the case and said: "Since the government office is tired of files, it is difficult to have leisure, and Liu Ling is loyal to the monarch and hardworking, so how can he have leisure?" Do you want to participate in the imperial court's current administration of the border and Fuyuan system? Is there a strong Qu Yin in the process? Come from the truth!"

Seeing the sage's expression and tone suddenly became severe, Liu Yu became flustered for a while. He had already got up after the worship and went to the seat under the guidance of the middle official. After hearing the words, he rushed back to the hall and knelt down on the ground with a plop , His forehead was already sweating, and he said in a trembling voice: "The sage is indeed aware of the details, and I really have a last resort to apply for the election..."

Hearing what Liu Yu said, Li Tong's face suddenly became more serious: "The imperial court employs scholars, how can personal affairs be disturbed! Since Liu's retirement, I have read all the previous positions, and I can learn from the mere guild leader, the person in the To be an important minister in the Southern Province is not to say that favors are not insignificant. What kind of evil feelings can make you apply for the election without authorization and resist the state appointment?"

Although the imperial court has been advocating and encouraging courtiers to actively respond to national affairs and take up local posts, the situation cannot be generalized.The fundamental significance of this move is to balance the shortage of talents in the center and the localities, and transfer the idle and surplus talents from the central government to the localities to achieve the optimal allocation of human resources.

But Liu Yu, as a member of the sect, is also in charge of the affairs of the Department of Marketing and Trade, so of course it is not a spare talent.If he went to the local government, the imperial court would have to immediately select someone to take over his job, which might not be able to guarantee the normal operation of the Department of Marketing.

Therefore, when some idlers go to the local area, they are high-spirited and upright, responding to the call of the court, and Liu Yu's doing so, in the eyes of the sage, is ignorant of flattery and resistance to the state.

Hearing the sage's rebuke, Liu Yu's eyes were full of tears, and he kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "I know what I am really like. I know from my heart. The tenant farmers in Guizhou who lived in the suburbs of Beijing in the old days were forced to enter the capital for their livelihood. I don’t want to be suffering from civil turmoil in Gyeonggi, and I was once reduced to a sinful slave...Fortunately, fortunately, the sage’s benevolence and virtue settled the chaos. As a member of the royal court, the kindness of the king is so great that it is so far-reaching! How precious is this despicable body? Enjoying such kindness, with a whole body of the country, never dare to have another thought..."

"Only, there is only one thing that is lingering in my heart and cannot be resolved. In the old year when I entered Beijing, there was chaos, and my ministers and younger brothers were separated in the city. My life and death are still uncertain... Now my minister is prosperous in the capital, but I don't know where my brothers and feet are. I often think about it and can't sleep at night. Occasionally, the dream returns to confusion, and the dead father and mother accuse the minister and scold him, but the minister is speechless... After several inquiries, I know that there were many chaos in Beijing in the past, and they were dispatched to Shuofang Anbei. , can not only patrol the border for the country, but also conduct on-the-spot investigations..."

Hearing Liu Yu's mournful statement, Li Tong was stunned for a moment, then unavoidably moved, and even felt a little ashamed.

He originally thought that Liu Yu's unreasonable behavior was secretly threatened by some forces he hadn't noticed, and he was afraid, so he put a good job under the door and didn't do things, but went to the frontier to suffer. It is such a sincere reason.

In the civil unrest in central Beijing that year, Li Tong could be regarded as a behind-the-scenes manipulator.Of course he understands that this kind of behavior will definitely implicate innocent people, and he just comforts himself with the fact that a temporary chaos will usher in a better political environment, and the governance of Guanzhong and even the entire world in recent years has not violated his idea .

But when a specific victim appeared in front of him and stated the harm that could not be resolved until now, he was of course a little ashamed.

"Human relations and righteousness are difficult to win despite the laws of the country. It is my mistake to blame Liu Qing."

He got up and went down to the hall in person, helped Liu Yu who was crying and praying on the ground, and sent him to the banquet. It was not until Liu Yu's excitement calmed down a little that he said again: "Liu Qing is now applying for the election. Yes, the invigilators have a good evaluation, and I have read it, but there are a few details in it, and I still have some doubts."

After Liu Yu heard this, he hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and clasped his fists together and said: "I don't deserve a big reward for my humble opinion. If a sage asks a question, he should explain his thoughts in detail."

Hearing what Liu Yu said, Li Tong returned to the case and took Liu Yu's policy paper.Liu Yu's article mainly talks about border herding matters, but it is not about the horse administration related to the military, but about the pastoral supervision of the hustle and bustle.

"There is a saying in Liu Qingce that the tribute materials bought in Zhuhu City are so mixed and inferior that they are difficult to use. Therefore, it is a unique idea to divide the pastoral areas, uniformly plant them, and then trade them back. But Zhuhu moved into a There is no fixed place for sex and residence, even if most of them can continue to change, it is inevitable that they will repeat evil tricks..."

Hearing the questions related to the sage, Liu Yu pondered for a while to sort out, and then began to answer some content that could not be covered due to the limited space of the policy article: "The minister is in charge of the city and trade department, and he is in charge of commercial affairs. He has seen quite deeply. Hu and Fan's trade is all based on fur. From the second year of Kaiyuan to the present, the price of the goods has reached more than [-] million yuan. The layout of the fortifications in Beijing also requires more materials from Hu. However, all the trade gains are The pros and cons are mixed, the processing is cumbersome, and two or three out of ten are unpredictable..."

Datang's industry and commerce were developed, and the raw materials purchased from Zhuhu were also an important cornerstone to support the development of industry and commerce.In the process of this trade, Datang is naturally in an absolute dominant position, searching and expanding various raw materials at low prices, and dumping various commodities at high prices.

However, Zhuhu's raw materials are provided, but the quality cannot be guaranteed.After all, they don't have the concept of unified production and setting standards, and these raw materials are dumped at low prices, so they don't care about it.

Liu Yu, who is in charge of the Municipal Trade Department, saw that many long-distance transported materials from Huxiang had to be burned due to substandard quality, cumbersome processing, and storage space, so he came up with related ideas and planned to pass Datang's guidance from Jixi enabled the Hu people to gradually standardize their animal husbandry output.

Of course, Liu Yu's ideas are not simply focused on business.In the process of supervising the entry and exit of materials, he noticed that the fur products in several places were of excellent quality and sold very well.So I felt that I would select the sheep from these places and make a fine match, gradually replacing the sheep that Zhu Hu is raising now.

Husbandry is based on animal husbandry, and all food and clothing come from it.The cattle and horses they raise have also been tamed and selected for a long time, so that they can adapt to the environment, resist disasters, and so on.However, if Datang took the initiative to give the seeds, and through various means such as commerce and tribute, so as to give them the right to decide the types of cattle and sheep they raise, it would undoubtedly have an additional means of check and balance.

Li Tong was naturally very interested in this idea proposed by Liu Yu.But there is still hesitation, that is, whether the current breeding level and animal husbandry medical technology can reach the level of forming technical barriers.

Liu Yu also has a very in-depth understanding of this, and the answer is difficult.But even if it cannot be fully controlled, it does not mean that there is no room for manipulation.

"Although the Hus are not kings, they are still people who need food and clothing after all, but they have the desire to survive, so it is unavoidable to calculate their own interests. Today, the purchase of materials in the Tang Dynasty has increased year by year, and it has become a lot of Hu tribes begging for food. It is the lifeblood of the plant. The good seed is pushed, but it is effective, and it must be happy. Since the pasture is like cultivated soil, there will always be something out of the season, and it will not be happy. The footless beard, like the beast in the fence, seems to be vicious, but in fact Bloody wear..."

While speaking, Liu Yu listed several types of cattle and sheep, either Maofeng Rouchai or Yanghe heavy soil and water, each of which has certain restrictions.If Datang conducts cross-breeding in the frontier pastoral areas, strengthens various livestock attributes, and spreads them to Zhuhu pastoral areas according to the actual situation, whether it is local detainment or military conquest, it can not lose the cooperation of military aircraft.

Hearing Liu Yu's explanation, Li Tong was constantly weighing in his heart.Even if this matter gets out of control, it is great to send some better breeds of cattle and sheep to the Zhuhu Department, but even if they benefit from it, if they want to realize it, they must rely on the vast market of Datang to realize it.

As Liu Yu said, a barbarian without the ability to migrate is an angel with broken wings. When will I set the pot to stew you, do you still have to pick a day?

Of course, the current biotechnology still needs to continue research and development in order to achieve strategic cooperation.Liu Yu applied for the proposal and contributed to this strategy this time, and also hopes to go to Shuofang and other places to conduct field research.

For Liu Yu's feelings, Li Tong really has no way to evaluate it. He wants to go to the frontier to raise sheep without doing anything well.But he was really happy about this in his heart, and he had completely remembered Liu Yu.

But before Liu Yu was officially released, there was one more thing that needed to be dealt with, so Li Tong asked again: "Since Liu Qing is not happy to be in the middle, who can be worthy of the position of the trade order? Do you have a good choice? "

"Shimao Chancellor Song Bazi, this person was originally a merchant. Since the establishment of the company, the ministers suddenly came to this position, which inevitably caused a lot of confusion. He also relied on the help of Song Bazi. So far, many of the rules and regulations in the office have also come from the hands of Song Cheng. If the sage never tires of his Jia nature, I secretly think that Song Bazi is indeed a good candidate for succession."

Hearing the saint's inquiry, Liu Yu said quickly again.

"Bazi Song?"

When Li Tong heard Liu Yu's recommendation, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Then Bazi Song will come to the palace to see you tomorrow, and Liu Qing will ask him to make some preparations. If the response is really appropriate, then I will accept this recommendation." If you can't, you still need to stay in the office and wait for the selection of personnel in the court, and then make another plan."

Hearing this, Liu Yu hurriedly got up to thank him. Although his foreign appointment had not yet been finalized, he couldn't help being grateful for the care the saint gave him.

"A country has laws, but people have feelings. Liu Qing can only be loyal to state affairs. If you can find your young brother in the coming year, but it is not a heinous crime, I will forgive him in my own handwriting!"

Seeing Liu Yu's grateful expression, Li Tong said with a smile again.

"I'm so lucky to have this body... This body is promised to the Tang family and enshrined to the saint!"

After Liu Yu heard the words, tears poured down again, and he cried and worshiped in the hall.

Chapter 0898 out of the rate of soil, all goods can be colonized

In the morning court the next day, three passers-by who passed the Bianfuyuan Division were also graciously able to attend the court meeting, and were specially given scarlet robes.People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the three of them are in the court class, and they all look imposing and imposing, which is very eye-catching.Especially Xiao Song, who has a handsome appearance and a beautiful beard. In terms of appearance and temperament alone, he is not even inferior to the previous prime ministers.

But the most eye-catching one among the three is not Xiao Song, but Liu Yu.Even if he was not selected for the Bianfuyuan Division this time, Liu Yu was originally one of the regular ginseng officials.But now that he is standing among the electors, he immediately attracts doubly attention.

The Department of City and Trade is the most important in managing money and wealth, ranking first among all the departments in the DPRK. Naturally, the movements of its chiefs have attracted a lot of attention.Therefore, many courtiers looked at Liu Yu, and they couldn't help but have many doubts in their hearts.

The imperial court election was originally an opportunity for low-ranking officials and electors to stand out. No matter how you count, Liu Yu does not belong to this category, but now he appears on the list of candidates, which is naturally surprising.
