Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

What?

Be a hands-off boss?

While he was busy checking the memorials, Du He didn't even notice it.

Li Chengqian curled his lips and said, "Du He, do you think I'm like you, leaving government affairs to the people below and then not caring about anything?"

"In the past few days, I have randomly checked 40% of the memorials reviewed by Shangguan Yi and Wang Fuzhi."

"While I was reviewing memorials by lamplight, you might have been sleeping with a beautiful woman in your arms."

Many beauties came into the Eastern Palace during this period, and he had no time to favor them. He handled state affairs during the day and reviewed memorials at night.

Unless Du He comes back to take charge of the Privy Council, he can be a hands-off boss.

He was still somewhat worried about the work of the other officials.

Du He flattered him, saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince works tirelessly, personally attending to state affairs, and caring deeply about the suffering of the people. He is truly a diligent and people-loving monarch!"

"Under your leadership, the Tang Dynasty will surely be governed by the four seas and the Holy Lord. The crops will be plentiful, the fields will be filled with crops, the six Dings will prosper, the families will flourish, the seven stars will shine, and the country will be peaceful and prosperous. The eight..."

Li Chengqian was listening with great interest, but when he saw Du He suddenly stop, his expression changed slightly.

Why is this guy saying half of what he said?

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows: "Du He, why don't you continue?"

"I love to hear this, please tell me more."

These words were often said by Xu Jingzong, Yuan Gongyu and others, but they just didn't sound as pleasant as what Du He said.

Du He laughed and said, "Your Highness, I forgot what you said later."

Well...

Li Chengqian's expression was slightly stunned.

Sure enough!

He knew that Du He was not very proficient in reciting these things, unlike the Minister Xu Jingzong, who could recite them in one breath for a long time.

Even the Palace Attendant Censor Li Yifu could say a lot of flattering words.

After a few small talk.

Li Chengqian smiled and asked, "Du He, the Imperial Censor Li Yifu wrote me a memorial last night, saying that a group of important officials visited the princess's residence last night, and they also brought a lot of generous gifts."

"You are a big tree that attracts the wind, and a group of people are starting to curry favor with you."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Du He's brows moved slightly.

Good guy!

This Li Yifu actually dared to do such a thing behind his back. It seems that he has to send this guy to Mobei to gain experience for a few years.

Maybe Mobei is not far enough, we have to send him to Shanshan to prevent wind and sand!

Du He nodded and said, "These officials have seen that many important positions in the court are vacant, and they all want to curry favor with me with generous gifts, asking me to recommend them to you."

"These idiots came over together to give me gifts, and I couldn't accept them all. Otherwise, I would definitely bring half of them to the East Palace."

Hearing Du He say this, Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.

This is his good aide, who will think of him when there is something good, unlike some people who accept gifts and don't give anything back.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Du He, my top priority during this period is to reorganize the core officials of the court and announce the appointments immediately when the army returns victorious."

"If there is a suitable civil official here, please recommend him quickly."

Start adjusting officials now?

I'm quite anxious!

When Du He saw that Li Chengqian was considering the transfer of his official position in advance, he thought about it seriously and then spoke continuously.

"Pei Xingjian is very capable. He can serve as the Minister of Personnel and concurrently as the Governor of Yongzhou."

"Liu Li has spent quite a while in Xiangzhou. He must be brought back to serve as the Minister of the Interior."

"Lu Chengqing, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, presided over the important national policies of the land tax and the population census. His achievements fully qualify him for the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Cui Shenji is selfless and can serve as the Minister of Justice."

"Yu Chang is quite capable. Once he oversees the completion of the Daming Palace, he can definitely become the Minister of Works."

"Xiao Kai is not qualified to be the Minister of the Secretariat. I suggest transferring him to be the Minister of Works."

"Wang Jingzhi works diligently and is qualified for the position of Minister of Agriculture."

"Shangguan Yi has outstanding literary talent and a certain ability to govern. He can serve as the Minister of the Central Secretariat."

"Di Renjie..."

"..."

On the imperial platform.

Li Chengqian reminded as he wrote: "Speak slower, I can't keep up with your speed."

Half a quarter of an hour later.

As Du He repeated it over and over again, Li Chengqian finally copied out the names of the officials recommended by Du He.

Looking at the long list of ranking characters on the table, Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.

These officials were all his die-hard supporters, especially Pei Xingjian, Liu Li, Cui Shenji and Xiao Kai, all of whom were his die-hard loyalists.

Watched it again.

Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Du He, why don't you recommend Du Gou and Du Aitong?"

Du He said with a serious expression, "Your Highness, they are all my brothers. It is not appropriate for me to recommend them. It would be better for you to transfer their positions."

Although it is said that one should recommend talented people based on personal relationships, his recommendation is still inappropriate.

Anyway, Li Chengqian would not treat his brothers unfairly. Even if the official positions he rewarded them with in the early stage were not high, he would slowly promote them later.

"Ah."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, then said with a smile: "Your elder brother is honest and capable of handling government affairs. Let him be the governor of Yongzhou."

"Pei Xingjian also serves as the Vice President of the Privy Council. He cannot serve as the Governor of Yongzhou at the same time."

There was a pause.

Li Chengqian continued, "As for your third brother Du Aitong, I will appoint him as the governor of Luozhou. After he has gained experience in the local area for a few years, I will entrust him with important tasks."

"The officials you recommended are now confirmed!"

He discovered that Du He was really a worm in his stomach. The officials recommended by Du He were not exactly the same as what he had imagined before, but at least 90% of them were the same.

Not bad!

He is impartial and worthy of being the important minister who assists the country!

My father needs the assistance of Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, but he only needs Du He to assist him. Anyway, the officials recommended by Du He are reliable and useful.

Below the main hall.

Du He bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust."

The officials he recommended were all people who had made contributions to Li Chengqian's consolidation of his position as crown prince.

As for Liu Rengui, Gao Jifu and others, he did not take the initiative to recommend them.

These people are capable, so Li Chengqian will naturally use them.

The two chatted for a while about filling official posts and preparations for war, and then Du He said goodbye and left the East Palace.

He did not ask what official position Li Chengqian appointed him for. Anyway, it was either the Shangshu Zuo Pushe or one of the Three Dukes.

After leaving the East Palace.

Du He first went to the Ministry of Works to find Yu Chang, and took him to the Academy of Gewu.

Since Yu Chang was also in Yuhua Palace yesterday, he also knew that Duke Hanguo was going to order the making of a flying magical object. However, this object was very profound, and he was very nervous.

Mechanical Manufacturing Department.

Du He explained the shape and principle of the hot air balloon to Yu Chang and a group of craftsmen, and also told them the difficulties that needed to be solved.

After hearing this, all the craftsmen had confused expressions on their faces.

in the crowd.

A middle-aged craftsman bowed and asked, "Mr. Han Guo, regarding the development of the spherical material you mentioned, could you please give us some direction?"

Du He shook his head: "No, you have to figure it out on your own."

He had no knowledge of materials, he had just seen hot air balloons and how to operate a hot air balloon to land.
