Datang: Only by resisting the will can one become stronger

Just when Li Qiu was busy avoiding receiving Furong Garden, he suddenly received a summons from the palace and ordered him to enter the Chengqing Palace.

When rewarding Li Qiu before, Li Shimin had already said it.

Since you ministers disdain to go to court with Li Qiu, then I will simply recruit him to the Chengqing Palace to discuss matters

, this is all right, right? Of course, this is just a rhetoric, his purpose is still to let himself and Empress Changsun look at their son twice.

On this day, the southern lieutenant Chi Jingde came with good news that the rebellious Lujiang king Li Ai had been exterminated.

Li Shimin was in a good mood, so he remembered to summon Li Qiu into the palace.

When Li Qiu, who was dressed in a purple robe, entered the Chengqing Palace, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu, Eldest Sun Wuji and others were all there.

I don't know why, when Li Shimin saw this heroic Li Qiu, he always felt more comfortable.

The more I look at it, the more I have the shadow of when I was young.

And looking at her appearance, Li Qiu is more like a queen, and she is more handsome and handsome.

After the salute, Li Shimin smiled and asked Li Qiu what he had been busy with in the past few days.

Li Qiu also hurriedly replied briefly, saying that he was busy thanking His Majesty for the reward.

Li Shimin smiled, ignored him, and discussed the government with others.

At this time, a very important agenda item was involved: the former prime minister, Gao Shilian, a servant of his subordinates, made a mistake and was demoted.

This position was too important, so Li Shimin had to consult with these important ministers about the right person for this position.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the governor of Zhongshu Province, the governor of the province of Menxia, and the governor of Shangshu Province discussed national politics together, all of which were prime ministers.

Because Li Shimin had served as Shangshu Ling before he ascended the throne, his subordinates avoided and did not dare to occupy his position, so he was appointed as the governor of Shangshu Province with his left and right servants, and he was known as the prime minister with his subordinates and Zhongshu Ling.

This lower province, the Zhongshu province, and the Shangshu province are also the three most powerful parallel institutions.

Prime Minister, that is an official who assists the emperor in leading the world's major affairs.

Zuo Tianzi is the chief of hundreds of officials, governing everything, and his responsibility is heavy.

So when he saw Li Shimin discussing such an important issue, he actually found Li Qiu, and Feng Deyi's gaze at Li Qiu became more and more unkind.

Fortunately, this Li Qiu is quite interesting and doesn't talk nonsense.

Sitting there with the eyes looking at the nose, the nose looking at the mouth, and the mouth looking at the heart, it is almost like closing the eyes and resting the mind.

At this time, Feng Deyi highly recommended his best friend, Pei Lian, who was also an old minister of the previous dynasty.

Regarding his recommendation, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.

This Pei Lin is indeed capable, and he has already served as the prime minister and an important position during the Wude years.

It's just that he used to be a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, and Li Shimin had a grudge.

As for the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, the recommended ones are the core members of the Guanlong Group, the old general of the Qin Palace, Chu Suiliang.

For Chu Suiliang, Li Shimin is naturally one hundred and eighty reassured.

But only Chu Suiliang was still young at this time, and he was directly promoted to the post of prime minister, and his ability did not match it.

At this time, Li Shimin also saw Li Qiu, who was sitting at the back, as if he was in two worlds here, and was slipping away.

So I smiled in my heart, and I wanted to be embarrassed for this kid.

"Li Qiu, it's been some time since you entered this hall, but you haven't said a word. "

I ordered you to come, is it just that you can't be dumb

?" "Come on, tell me about it, who is better to sit in this position among the servants?"

As soon as he heard Li Shimin's words, the eldest grandson Wuji and the old god on the side were there, and he should watch the play.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the two have always cherished Li Qiu's talent, so they are also curious to see how Li Qiu can answer in this high-pressure environment.

As for Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu and others, it is needless to say, they can't wait to blow their beards away and stare out their eyes.

Isn't it too child's play for His Majesty to ask a hairy boy from a businessman's background?

And Li Qiu was indeed taken aback by Li Shimin's sudden question.

Originally, when he heard that His Majesty was going to recruit himself into the palace to participate in the government, he didn't believe it too much.

How can he be qualified to go to the same group of prime ministers to participate in the affairs of the court?

Especially this kind of frightening issue of electing the prime minister!

But at this time, they had already asked themselves, and Li Qiu could only stubbornly get up and say:

"Back to Your Majesty, the boy has a humble status, and the ministers of the DPRK and China who he knows and are familiar with are afraid that he has a few hands.

Hearing his words, Feng Deyi and the others sneered in their hearts.

Hmph, what are you talking about, this district businessman doesn't even recognize a few ministers of the court, so what do they use to elect the prime minister?

But at this moment, I saw Li Qiu continue with a calm expression: "However, among the people the minister knows, there happens to be one person who is suitable and qualified for this position.

Hearing his words, Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were stunned.

As for Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu, they were angry and glared again.

At this time, Li Shimin laughed: "Oh? That's good!"

"Just tell me and listen to you, who is this suitable and competent person you are promoting?"

Li Qiushili replied seriously: "The person recommended by the minister is none other than Wang Qi, the squire of the Yellow Gate. "

Wang Jue, the grandson of Wang Shengbi of the Southern Liang Shangshu Ling, had already served as the secretary of the Inner Governor Taichang Zhililang in the previous dynasty.

"His temperament is elegant, his ambition is deep, he does not value fame and fortune, distinguishes between turbidity, and rewards good for evil.

"Whether it is the foundation, ability, or conduct, it is enough to be qualified for the position of servant.

"If you start from the perspective of meritocracy, the minister believes that Wang Jue is the right person.

After hearing Li Qiu's words, Li Shimin fell directly into silence, only staring at Li Qiu with his eyes, and his fingers kept tapping on the armrest of the dragon chair.

At this moment, in Li Shimin's heart, he only felt funny.

Not to mention, the Wang Jue recommended by Li Qiu, as Li Qiu said, is really suitable for this position.

Moreover, this bastard boy also used the word meritocracy to lead his own army.

This Wang Jue was one of the most important advisers by Prince Yin's side before, so this time when choosing people, he didn't think of Wang Jue at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since Li Qiu recommended Wang Qi to me to be the position of this subordinate servant.

"I don't know what you all think?"

Regarding his question, Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu and others naturally disagreed.

This Wang Jue, like Wei Zheng, is the old department of Prince Yin, and he is completely self-contained, and he has different intentions from them.

A position like the prime minister must be in the hands of their own people.

After asking them, Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji.

If it was a simple consideration, the eldest grandson Wuji would naturally be a million against.

Back then, they fought to the death with these old subordinates of the hidden prince, and they had a deep grudge.

Therefore, he would rather this position fall into the hands of the scholars than let Prince Yin's old ministry take it.

But today, the eldest grandson Wuji was unexpectedly silent.

Not for it, not against it.

Because at this moment in his heart, the label of this Wang Qi has changed from the old department of Prince Yin to Li Qiu's absolute confidant.
