Li Longji ignored the noise in the hall. Now he is in power. As the emperor of the dynasty, why should he explain to his ministers?

The reward orders continued to be issued. Pei Min was followed by Wang Maozhong. He was originally General Longwu, and was promoted to the General of the Left Wu Guard and was awarded Duke Huo. The remaining Ge Fushun, Li Xianfu, Xue Jun, Ma Xu and others also had rewards, but only Pei Min and Wang Maozhong were awarded the title.

The news reached the Ministry of War. Even Pei Min could not have thought that he would be granted the title of Duke. He had to sigh that the Conglong's merit was indeed inexplicable in ancient times. A soldier, who worked hard to fight step by step, may not be able to win the title of Duke of a Duke in his life, but the Conglong's merit made him go directly to the Duke of a Duke from Jiebai.

However, Pei Min also knew that his Duke had a lot of water. The Tang Dynasty's fief had two concepts: false and real title. He, Duke Liang, had very few real titles, but only an honorary title. There was still a certain gap between him and Duke who had a real title by relying on his achievements. But no matter what, the Duke was a Duke, and even a Duke with a duke with a real title.

When Pei Min's colleagues around him heard the news, they envied and celebrated, and they all intended to establish a good relationship with him.

"Censor Pei!"

Just as Pei Min was dealing with his enthusiastic colleagues, Gao Lishi heard the news of Li Longji summoning him.

Pei Min accused him of guilt and entered the palace with Gao Lishi.

Not only Pei Min, but as the person Li Longji trusted the most, Gao Lishi also doubled his value. He was originally an eunuch, but he was awarded the title of Yin Qing Guanglu Dafu to serve as an eunuch. He was not only responsible for taking care of Li Longji's private life, but also for handling foreign affairs.

Pei Min still admires this wise and official of the ages. Although he was not a good person in history, he did not do anything that would harm the truth. His loyalty to Li Longji is indeed touching.

"Eunuch Gao, I wonder what Your Majesty is asking me for?" Pei Min and Li Longji were not familiar with each other. This time, they made the achievements of the Dragon and were not in-depth contact because of Guo Yuanzhen's recommendation. The two did not have any in-depth contact. It was just a short time since they went to court, and Pei Min invited him there.

Gao Lishi was gentle and said softly: "How can I know Your Majesty's thoughts? But Your Majesty respects the Censor very much, so it must be a good thing."

Pei Min nodded and did not ask questions. Historical books said that he "has little ambition and carefulness. He was good at observing things and did not dare to be arrogant. Therefore, the emperor always took it personally, and the scholars and officials did not hate it." As expected, even if he is now a third-rank official as an eunuch, he is still not arrogant or impatient, and is cautious and cautious. This point is indeed worth learning.

The two of them walked north to enter the Tai Chi Palace. Pei Min took down the Qin Emperor's sword and handed it to Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi smiled and reached out to take it, called the eunuch passing by, and asked him to put away the sword.

When we arrived at the corridor of Tai Chi Palace, there was a eunuch walking forward in front of us. Suddenly, a burly man walked quickly from the corner, and the two almost bumped into each other.

Before he was shocked, he heard the burly man scolding: "The eyes are born with no eyes, and the eyes are born on the forehead."

Gao Lishi's face looked a little ugly. Generally speaking, eunuchs will have psychological incompleteness due to physical incompleteness, extreme inferiority, distortion and viciousness in their hearts. Gao Lishi is a rare eunuch with good personality, but when he hears the word "eunuch", he will eventually get angry.

Pei Min certainly recognized the burly man. Just yesterday, they fought and fought side by side: it was General Longwu Wang Mao Zhong, who is now the General of the Left Wu Guard, Duke Huo Wang Mao Zhong.

Compared with yesterday, Wang Maozhong became much more arrogant, glaring at him, and even making a move.

"General Wang, who made you angry? I heard you shouting from afar." Pei Min said hello.

When Wang Maozhong saw that it was Pei Min, he thought of his current identity and said with a smile: "It turns out to be the Censor Pei, you asked His Majesty to invite him? I'm a little earlier than you." His tone was a bit arrogant, as if he had taken Li Longji's summoning earlier. He said to the eunuch in front of him, his face changed: "Get out quickly, don't block the way!"

The little eunuch was so scared that he hurriedly walked around.

Pei Min said: "You are also a great general. What are you going to care about with the temple people?"

Wang Maozhong curled his lips: "I just need to be disciplined, don't talk about this bad thing. Your Majesty has a task to give me. My mansion has the best Zhongshan winter wine, so I have time to come to my mansion to drink!"

"Okay!" Pei Min responded.

Wang Maozhong hurried away, but he couldn't even look at Gao Lishi's eyes.

Pei Min shook his head. Wang Maozhong's temperament and temper would have something to do sooner or later.

Gao Lishi said: "As General Longwu, Wang Maozhong is on duty in the palace, and he is coming soon."

Pei Min smiled and said, "Eunuch Gao thought I would argue with him about this coming first and then coming? That's too much of a slight scruples me."

The two of them stopped talking and came to the back hall of Tai Chi Palace.

"See Your Majesty!" After being summoned, Pei Min walked into the inner hall. Li Longji leaned down on the desk and was looking at the memorial. When he heard Pei Min's audience, he raised his head: The Li family Sanlang was swollen with his eyes, his eyes were covered with blood, but his spirit was extremely excited. From thinking last night, from the appointment of Long Gongchen to the end of the court meeting to reviewing the memorial, he had not blinked. He was the first to take power, and he knew the taste of food and was diligent in his work.

"Sit!" Li Longji pointed to the mat beside him and said, "I originally wanted to find an elegant place, and we, the monarch and ministers have a good chat. But I have just taken the power of the country and have not yet taken up many things, so I really can't take time. I can only wait until I can calm down and find another time. Jingyuan, do you know my intention to promote you to the Censor?"

Pei Min shook his head. This was also what he was curious about. In theory, he served in the Ministry of War. He could have promoted him to the position of the Ministry of War. He specially promoted him to the position of the Censorate and asked him to serve in the Censorate. He could not figure it out. He could only say: "I am not as dumb as your Majesty, and he is not as far-sighted as your Majesty."

Li Longji did not answer the question directly, but asked another question: "In order to commemorate my first time in power, I decided to change the year name to Kaiyuan and announce it soon. Do you know what the meaning of Kaiyuan is?"

"Kaiyuan means to start a new era, to start, to start the country, to create the world, and to create the world. Your Majesty uses Kaiyuan as the year name, and must have ambitions and intentions to do great things." Pei Min answered almost without thinking. He was both a civil and military talent, and this kind of vocabulary meaning was no problem at all.

"Yes!" Li Longji clenched the fist excitedly and stood up and said, "From the time of Emperor Taizong, I have cultivated cultural governance internally and expanded my territory externally. Especially during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, my territory was wider and far beyond the Qin and Han dynasties, and the countries in the previous dynasty were far beyond the reach of the Qin and Han dynasties. Unfortunately, it was like lightning light, and I was determined to regain the style of my ancestors and create the grandeur of Emperor Taizong again."

Pei Min's eyes were a little moved, which was also the reason why he chose Li Longji: Li Longji's eyes looked further and belonged to a radical hawk, while Princess Taiping attached importance to the stability of her power and belonged to a conservative dove.

"Your Majesty has such ambition, Pei Min is willing to imitate his ancestors to expand territory for You Majesty." Pei Min's eyes were firm. He entered the court as an official, his mother's wishes, and glorified his ancestors. Second, he could make a future for himself and not want to do anything to do this life. If he could go within his ability, he could make the Tang Dynasty go a long way and no longer have the Liao, Jin and Mongolia ravage the world in the future, it would be his most perfect plan.

Li Longji looked at Pei Min with a burning look and nodded, "I can understand your ambitions! I can see from your answer to the imperial examination!" He took out a draft from the desk and said, "This is your imperial examination answer sheet. The answer sheet is full of change and innovation. It can be seen that you are like me, and you are extremely dissatisfied with this corrupt system and worry about the prospects of the Tang Dynasty. Only change and innovation can open up a new atmosphere. I cannot do such a big thing and need your help."

Pei Min thought about his position and had a vague understanding of Li Longji's intentions.

Li Longji said: "Now there are too many people in my Tang Dynasty who have a simple meal. I have decided to streamline the organization, cut off excess officials, and lay off many useless officials since the Empress Wu, especially those who criticized Empress Wei and Princess Anle who bought and sold official positions. Only useful and talented people can be left behind, so that the ability of officials can be exercised, and the state expenditure can be saved, and the money saved will be used for military and horse politics."

Pei Min smiled and said, "It is also possible to establish a strict official assessment system and strengthen the management of local officials to prevent corrupt officials from appearing. On the one hand, it does not add burden to the people, and on the other hand, it can also increase the country's tax revenue."

Li Longji nodded and said, "That's the reason, what else should I add?"

Pei Min thought for a while and said, "Improving the difficulty of the imperial examination, reducing the number of people who pass the imperial examination, avoiding the emergence of redundant officials, and improving the talent and quality of officials."

Li Longji praised: "Yes, I also think it is more appropriate to be promoted than to recommend it. Especially after you proposed the anonymity system, the fairness of the imperial examination was improved, and we can select truly talented people to serve the country."

"So Your Majesty wants me to act as the power of the Censor to supervise all officials to find out the worms that harm the country?" Pei Min understood Li Longji's intention.

Li Longji nodded: "Yes, in a while, I will gradually strengthen the authority of the Censorate, and allocate enough funds to expand your strength. You have the power to supervise all officials, and I will give you the power to inspect the world from time to time. I will not seek to capture all corrupt officials in the world. At least there are only ones, but I will give me the political clarity of the Tang Dynasty. This position is dangerous, but I think with your martial arts and swordsmanship, this danger should not be done to you."

Pei Min smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I hate the most is corrupt officials who take human lives apart. Now I will arrest you."

Li Longji nodded with satisfaction and said, "I can hold great power, Jingyuan's swordsmanship is of great significance! I have written a piece of characters to give to you!" As he said that, he took out a copybook from the desk and handed it to Gao Lishi next to him.

Gao Lishi took it with both hands and gave the copybook to Pei Min.

Pei Min opened the copybook and read it in four words:
Chapter completed!
