Chapter Eight

The guards of the Ministry of War were the ones they met on the day of Wu Ju. The last time they made a mistake, the guards were quite embarrassed and greeted him enthusiastically in advance: "Young Master Pei is here to report today, there will be no mistakes again, right?"

Pei Min nodded and said, "I said it clearly this time. I can't make any mistakes. Please lead the way!"

The guard met the young man who was known as the civil and military star in front of him, who had descended to earth, but had no sense of arrogance. He liked Dasheng and personally led the way for him: "I will take Mr. Pei to report first, and then I will take you to visit the Minister of the Shangshu, the Minister, the Doctor, and others."

"I'm working hard!" Pei Min responded with a smile.

The Sicheng Department is responsible for handling matters such as maps of various provinces, reconciliation of merits, verification of mistakes, rewards and punishments, pensions, military reviews, and testing of military officials.

Pei Min joined the job and reported that his position token and official service were also collected from Sichengsi. He went back to the Sichengsi to meet Guo Yuanzhen, but because Guo Yuanzhen left a message in advance, he asked Pei Min to see him first.

Si Chengsi was extremely polite and even pleased Pei Min: Pei Min is now very famous, and as long as there is no accident, her future will be bright, she will be in the officialdom and will always rank first in popularity.

The procedures for reporting the entry were handled quickly. Pei Min didn't wait long to get the token representing his identity: a bronze medal the size of a palm, the "Treasurer" of his official position, the "Treasurer" of his official position, and the special mark of the Shangshu Province was engraved. With this sign, there will be no strict investigations today when entering and leaving the Imperial City and the Ministry of War.

As soon as he was about to establish himself in the Ministry of War, Pei Min also had a certain understanding of the official system of the Ministry of War: As the six ministries, the Ministry of War had a Shangshu, two ministers, four doctors, eight ministers, ten officials, thirty-seven officials, sixty envoys, and sixty envoys, etc. There were nearly two hundred officials of all sizes, and there were four departments, namely Xiaguan, Treasury, Sicheng, and Siyu. Among them, Xiaguan was the core organization of the Ministry of War, followed by the remaining three departments.

The task of the treasurer is a bit similar to that of the logistics minister, who is responsible for the weapons of the Tang Dynasty and the prefectures and counties. At the same time, there are also trivial matters such as the winter solstice, the layout of banquets, temple sacrifices, funeral flags, and the entry and exit of local weapons, the maintenance of officials from various places, and other trivial matters.

Pei Min was quite satisfied with this position, at least he was in charge of the affairs, not a document such as a ruling envoy. However, it was a bit regretful that he was unable to enter the Xia official. I think it was true that Xia official was the core of the Ministry of War, responsible for external strategies for the dispatch of border soldiers and other major military trends. However, after entering the Xia official, it was not easy to come out.

In Pei Min's mind, the Ministry of War is a place to add to his experience. When the war begins, fighting with Xue Ne is the way to rise.

Newcomers join the officialdom and visit their colleagues to get to know each other and increase their tacit understanding at work. This is also an unwritten rule, so Pei Min naturally must follow it.

The first visitor is undoubtedly the boss of the Ministry of War, Guo Yuanzhen.

"My younger generation Pei Min, I have met Shangshu Guo!" Pei Min bowed and said hello.

"No need to be polite! Come on, I have some things to deal with. You can wait a moment and I will tell you something in detail. As for visiting my colleagues, this is not urgent, it will be fine tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." After yesterday's night talk with Xue Na, Guo Yuanzhen's attitude towards Pei Min changed greatly. It was not about looking at a junior who needed to be promoted, but a good person with a vision.

Pei Min thought it was a martial arts business, so he sat down next to Yi as he said.

Guo Yuanzhen ignored him and looked at the file in his hand. He had important matters at the moment. Liaodong and western Liao were occupied by the Xi tribe and Khitan for a long time. Now the fields are deserted, the people are sparse, the environment is harsh, and the defenders have complaints. They are unwilling to seize Liaodong and Liaoxi for a long time and apply for defense. Liaodong and western Liaoxi have just been recovered, and this matter is related to the situation in the Northeast, especially the focus of the Tang Dynasty's future is in the West, and there is also a stable environment that cannot be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to take care of. This matter has to be taken seriously. At present, the quality of the Tang army soldiers is also uneven, so how to arrange it requires careful consideration.

He looked at Pei Minyi's eyes and asked suddenly: "Liaodong, Liaoxi Xinliu, the imperial court intends to send officials to guard it. What do you think about this?"

Pei Min looked at Guo Yuanzhen in surprise and thought carefully, "I think it is better to send a relatively conservative official to appease the more conservative officials. Our Tang Dynasty is currently weak in military affairs, the Northeast is poor, and the army is rashly rushing, and the people are in trouble and money. The profits made are completely unrepresented. It is better to induce the Xi tribe and the Khitan to surrender, and carry out each other smoothly and maintain temporary peace. The Xi tribe and the Khitan are nomadic peoples. It is not easy for them to rise, but the Tang Dynasty is not the case. The Tang Dynasty is currently stable and stable in its economy. As long as the military keeps up, cultivate and promote some up-and-comers who can take on great responsibilities, and reappear with Taizong and Gaozong. When the troops are strong and the food is sufficient, find an excuse to calculate the total accounts with them in the autumn."

When Guo Yuanzhen heard the first half of the sentence, he nodded in disbelief: They all thought about conservatism. But when they heard it, they were a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Pei Min was very murderous at such a young age, but she was very comparable to others.

How could Guo Yuanzhen know that they were making progress in the Central Plains, and the alien race also made progress, and the progress was no less than that of them.

Before the Tang Dynasty, most of the alien races were border troubles. The serious Five Barbarians invaded China just to take advantage of the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty and the weak national strength, invaded the northern part to form a confrontation with the Han regime. However, after the Tang Dynasty, the alien races gradually rose and even destroyed their Central Plains dynasty twice. Therefore, in his eyes, he could not show any mercy to those alien races who were not sincerely surrendered, which caused them to suffer disaster later.

Guo Yuanzhen was already conservative and had a similar mind to Pei Min. He quickly decided on the candidates and placed the files next to Yi. He submitted them to the Secretariat for the preparation of the emperor and prime minister at a later date.

"I have been with Brother Xue for many years. If you look closely, I can be considered your elder. I believe my brother's vision and will not stumble with you. What do you think about the current political situation?"

Beyond Pei Min, Guo Yuanzhen wanted to talk to him about the martial arts, but he didn't expect to ask him about the situation in the court. In amazement, he wondered what Guo Yuanzhen's intention was.

Seeing that he was suspicious, Guo Yuanzhen smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Only we know what you and me said today. I can swear to never talk about the three of you. If you have any scruples, it's okay if I say it first. My Tang Dynasty has been in abdicated since the Martial Arts Empress, and the storm has been in turmoil for nine years, but the chaotic bureau has been unstable. Now my Tang Dynasty's military is weak, and the politics is entirely maintained by the capital left by the Martial Arts Empress Di Gong. If the chaotic bureau is not set early, the political situation will collapse and the world will be in chaos."
