Chapter 19 The Difficulties of He Zhizhang
Li Longji didn't know that the Tang Dynasty's recruitment system in history was proposed by Zhang Shuo. It was precisely because Li Longji proposed to change the recruitment system from Zhang Shuo that the soldiers in the palace were weak. In addition, the Tang Dynasty's equal importance of civil and military affairs, many good generals emerged, and once again the power of Taizong and Gaozong dynasties.
Now Zhang Shuo is busy helping him fight with Princess Taiping. In the current situation, even if they propose a recruitment system, it will be stopped by Princess Taiping Party, which will be a bad thing, so there is no time to consider the recruitment system. Even Zhang Shuo, who proposed a recruitment system, is not as comprehensive as Pei Min knows at this moment.
Even Pei Min himself didn't know much about the details, let alone Li Longji.
Li Longji can only regard this as "heroes have similar views" and Pei Min sees it even further in this regard.
"This recruitment system is really what Pei Min thinks, and this person is really a talented person." Li Longji was a little excited. As a superior, the king who didn't want his subordinates to be full of talents, especially the ambitious king.
He Zhizhang said: "It is his own thoughts. I will not hide it from Your Majesty. I seem to have a different fate with Pei Min. I have a cousin who is an official in Youzhou. He mentioned this person in his letters to me. He said that he is very talented, has unique insights into ancient books, has good writing, is extraordinary martial arts, and has extremely exquisite swordsmanship. The local masters who have been famous for many years are not his enemies. With his white body, he is highly valued by the Grand Supervisor and can freely enter and exit the General Administration's Office. If he had not been young and vigorous, and wanted to see the world in Chang'an, he would have served under the Grand Supervisor."
Li Longji became more interested and smiled and said, "It's still a person who is both civil and military. Haha, I've caught my eye. I can only aggrieved the Grand Governor. The talents who can show our illegitimate government and propose a recruitment system are also in the hands of the Grand Governor. The two dear ministers say, what official positions should I give him?"
He Zhizhang and Zhang Jiuling asked Li Longji to ask this question, but stopped them.
He Zhizhang was encouraged by Zhang Jiuling, and Zhang Jiuling was purely talented and did not want the court to miss it. He came to recommend it.
Now that I think about it carefully, there is really no suitable vacant official position for Pei Min. After all, Pei Min only has the status of a tribute scholar, and is not as old as the one in the weak. It is really difficult to be high or low.
Zhang Jiuling was so quick-witted that he thought for a little while and said, "Pei Min came to take the imperial examination and took the Jinshi exam. Why would he wait for him to be awarded for high school?" According to Tang Dynasty law, as long as he was a Jinshi, he would be qualified to enter the officialdom. Generally speaking, even if he passed the Jinshi, he might not be able to enter the officialdom. However, Pei Min was attracted by Li Longji. As long as he passed the Jinshi, he would definitely have a good source. Compared with him back then, he was much better.
Li Longji pondered slightly. According to his original intention, he gave Pei Min a position directly, but thinking that all his actions were under the surveillance of Princess Taiping. Suddenly promoting Pei Min would definitely cause the other party to interfere with the investigation and interference. He was very talented and won over Taiping, which was not good.
Now Princess Taiping has also set her sights on the spring exam, and has also unrestrainedly drafted the No. 1 candidate, Tanhua, who wants to become the Jinshi to help her gain momentum. It would be better to put Pei Min up and make enemies with Princess Taiping, so naturally
Thinking of this, Li Longji had made up his mind and smiled and said, "Just as Zhang Aiqing said." As he said that, he looked at He Zhizhang and said, "You must not talk much about this matter with Pei Min. I want to see if he can make a breakthrough by relying on his own strategy."
He Zhizhang returned to the mansion with great worries. He never expected that Princess Taiping would be so arrogant and domineering. Yesterday he met Zhang Jiuling and told Li Longji about Pei Min, and today he summoned him to ask him about the reason without any concealment.
Although he was confused, He Zhizhang was coerced again. Li Longji had gradually shifted his focus to the open, worked hard in the court, and won over the middle and lower-level officials. After all, he was the emperor. Although the Supreme Emperor Li Dan did not deliver all the rights, as the emperor, he still had the power to appoint officials below the third rank. This power is in hand, and it is easy to promote middle and lower-level officials.
Although middle and lower-level officials are not as good as prime ministers and generals, they still have certain threats in key positions.
According to Zhang's suggestion, Li Longji made a fuss with Princess Taiping, and indeed had a considerable advantage and successfully suppressed Princess Taiping's arrogance.
Princess Taiping was unwilling to be so. While planning a counterattack, she attached more importance to the candidates for the imperial examinations and the first place in the imperial examinations. She could allow scholars or Li Longji to become a Jinshi, but the top scorer who passed the Jinshi and the second place, Tanhua must be her. Only in this way can she recover the loss of face. This is not a fight for power, but the competition for power is like this. Whoever gives in hasty overwhelms will face an attack that will never give in.
Princess Taiping lost money openly. If she didn't find it back and lost a few times, the Taiping Party would be in panic. After all, the current party dispute is not the past. Princess Taiping's opponent is the emperor, not a certain prime minister, so it is impossible for her to be without pressure.
Princess Taiping is bound to win the candidate for the Jinshi.
He Zhizhangman thought that he would be promoted to his career as a result, but he did not want to enter the whirlpool of the fight between the emperor and Princess Taiping.
Looking at Zhang Xu, who was drinking wine and writing in the yard, she smiled and said, "It's still a happy brother, I'll keep my wine and my pen, and my life is a fairy."
Zhang Xu threw the wine pot in his hand over and said, "Are you worried?"
He Zhizhang sighed: "In the officialdom, I can't help myself. Your Majesty wants to entrust me to take charge of the spring exam next year. Before the appointment of the tribute for me was issued, I was involved in the battle between Your Majesty and Princess Taiping. Maybe next year, my brother wants to drink with me, and I am afraid he will go to Lingnan to find my brother."
Zhang Xu remained silent.
"Actually, there is no need for Brother He to be so sad!" Pei Min suddenly appeared and walked out of the hall with the Book of Changes in his hand. Seeing that He Zhizhang was a little surprised, he hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on purpose, but just wanted to ask Brother Zhang to ask for advice on the allusions in the Book of Changes. I accidentally heard the conversation between the two brothers."
Pei Min lives in He Mansion. Whether it is Zhang Xu or He Zhizhang, his literary skills are above him. As a latecomer, facing the two talented scholars beside him, there is no reason to ask for advice without humbly. He often asks them for advice on classics, history, articles and calligraphy, but in just a few days, all aspects have made great progress.
He Zhizhang now knew Pei Min's ability and asked for advice: "My brother teaches me!"
