Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Yuchi Baoqi ushered in his first big court meeting after returning from Luoyang, and found a hidden pillar as usual to start his sleep.

"Now that Tuyuhun and Tubo have become our territory in the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty must send officials there as soon as possible."

"My minister agrees!"

Li Shimin was irritated. Why didn't these civil servants say they were going to serve in various government offices in Songzhou before? But now that Xiaobao has done something great there, they jumped out.

Li Shimin kept his face calm and spoke slowly: "This matter should not be rushed. If the officials sent there bully the local people and interfere with local construction, what should we do?"

The Tang Wengguan Group immediately became silent. Li Er was really good at using this soft knife.

"Your Majesty, your minister Songtsen Gampo has something to say."

"allow."

"Your Majesty, if you don't give up, you can still join the court and serve as an official for the benefit of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Now the Western Region Construction Corps lacks nothing, but it lacks people who are willing to take root there, whether they are officials or not."

"Although I know the crux of the problem, I don't have a solution. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

Li Shimin also understood that the area in the Western Region was too big and there were too few people. The Construction Corps has so many things to do that it would like to break people into eight pieces and order them around.

"As the governor of Songzhou, what is the noble opinion of the British Duke?"

"The British prince? The good son-in-law? The little treasure? The brat! Where are the bastards?!"

Yuchi Baoqi was finally woken up by a junior official next to him, who was about to cry.

"What's the matter? Here it is!"

Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly wiped his saliva and walked towards the middle of the hall.

"Songtsen Gampo feels that the Western Region Construction Corps is short of personnel. The princes in the court feel that there is a lack of officials in the Western Region. Please tell me how to solve it."

Yuchi Baoqi touched his non-existent beard and pretended to think about it.

"This matter, neither you nor I are easy to handle. Who can handle this? You have to find the iron-faced supervisor of the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, it makes sense!

"Quick! Summon Changle to come to the court to discuss matters!"

Wei Zheng frowned: "Your Majesty, this action is unreasonable! No woman has ever participated in court proceedings!"

Li Shimin sneered: "An doesn't know Princess Pingyang!"

When Wei Zheng heard the words "Princess Pingyang", he instantly fainted. Yes, women have been discussing affairs in court for a long time, but they were military matters.

Yuchi Baoqi heard old man Wei criticizing his wife, how could that be done?

"Who calls me the proud son of the Li Tang family who is rich in martial arts? Princess Pingyang is good at fighting, and Princess Changle is good at governance."

This was the first time Li Shimin heard such straightforward praise. It was really embarrassing for this little brat to praise himself so much lately.

"Oh? Then tell me what I am good at?"

Yuchi Jingde didn't feel very good. He was talking nonsense about the emperor. It wouldn't be difficult for the whole family to be prosperous together.

"Your Majesty is good at many things. He has both civil and military skills. He is also a first-class expert in understanding people and making good use of them."

"Princess Changle is here!"

"Father, why would the great dynasty summon my son?"

Yuchi Baoqi spoke first to prevent his wife from not understanding the situation.

"Your Majesty summoned the princess to ask if there are talents from the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty who can serve as officials in the Western Regions."

"Datang Royal Academy currently has 390 official reserve personnel, 400 current students, and [-] official officials. It has only been open for two academic years, and there is still a slight shortage of talents."

Li Shimin was so happy, the civil service group collapsed, and the clique and selfish interests were about to explode.

What do you mean, four hundred officials were created in two years, and they were all hard-working officials like the "dog officials" before, and they were killed.

Li Shimin was already drifting thinking that he now had 390 disciples of the emperor with no background.

Lao Li, when have I ever fought such a wealthy battle in my life?

Li Shimin coughed twice: "Li Zhi, if you count the reserve soldiers who are willing to go to the Western Regions to serve as officials, they will have to train there for at least three years."

Li Lizhi blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Shimin: "Father, do you only select people from the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty?"

Yuchi Baoqi was secretly speechless, looking at his political sense and acumen. As soon as this question comes out, whoever dares to push people in, who is not from the Royal Academy, will be bullying the king!

Li Shimin also knew: "This is natural. Now that we have these ready-made reserve officials, we naturally need to use them more! The main thing is to ask them to go out and practice more, so as not to have a black eye when they take office."

Yuchi Baoqi saw that the civil service group was still trying to make a move, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words are really brilliant, otherwise why would the Royal Academy be named "Royal"? It would naturally be to share your Majesty's worries!"

Yuchi Jingde: I don’t understand. My daughter-in-law, son, and His Majesty are all talking about something. My scalp feels so itchy, I feel like I'm growing a brain.

When Li Shimin saw that this important matter was almost finished, he wanted to go to court.

"Is there still a main part left?"

Du Ruhui left the office and said: "I beg your pardon! Du He, the dog son, instigates national sentiments and is not conducive to national integration and unity. Please forgive me!"

Li Shimin naturally knew in his heart that Du He and Fang Yiai were two little bastards. There is not enough to eat, and there is not enough to do.

"Prime Minister Du failed to teach his children properly and was not strict with his subordinates. He was fined three months' salary. Du He was banned for half a year as a warning to others."

Du Ruhui knelt down directly: "I ask your Majesty to send the dog Du He to plant cotton in the Western Regions!"

Yuchi Baoqi: Wocao, Du Xiang of cattle. Directly carry out super labor transformation on Du He.

Li Shimin thought it was not a big deal, so he agreed casually.

Yuchi Baoqi wanted to find something to do to pass the time: "I have my own notes!"

Li Shimin was puzzled, why did this guy suddenly have a book?

"I feel that the morning court time is too early, especially for the big court meeting. Officials who live far away have to get up very early to prepare, which is not good."

Wei Zheng exploded again: "This is the ancestral system, how can it be changed at will?"

"Yao, Shun, and Yu still abdicated, Zu Zhi? Zu, you are a big-headed ghost!"

"I just said it casually. If you don't want to change it, you don't have to change it. It's not a big problem, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Leave this matter to the Ministry of Rites. Consider the actual situation more and submit a charter. Not getting enough rest will really be detrimental to your work."

Wei Zheng still wanted to persuade him, but Yuchi Baoqi grabbed his sleeve.

"Master Wei, you can be an enemy of Your Majesty, but you cannot be an enemy of hundreds of officials. Remember, remember."

Wei Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Er, the old man, would go straight down to the court at the speed of light, with his two hairy legs flying so fast.

"It's not easy to be a lonely minister or a direct minister, Mr. Wei. When you have time, go outside and see the world."

Wei Zheng froze on the spot, neither speaking nor moving for a long time.

Yuchi Baoqi took Li Lizhi and went shopping in the Imperial Garden.

"Mr. Wei, you deceived me with just a few words. Husband, you are so powerful."

"His twists and turns are nothing. In two months, the dock and shipyard in Luoyang will be completed. When things over there are over, we should be able to get married."

"Hey, by the way. Didn't Su Quan want Shang Chengyang? Where did the process go?"

"Don't mention it. Su Quan was sent by his father to build roads. I don't know which corner he is in yet. But Chengyang has been sending him telegrams."
