Chapter 268: Selection

Who is comforting whom?

Li Wei said respectfully: "Yes, Mother, son minister is a little indecisive. Thank you for your mother's reminder."

"Go."

"Yes," Li Wei stood up and left. There were many dead leaves on the road. As the autumn wind fell, it kept shrinking and swaying on the stone path. Before the sky became cold, it was already a little desolate. Li Wei was thinking about his mother. Of course, compared with his mother, there were at least 19 million men in the country who wanted to give this woman a chance.

It was not a contest, but when he implemented his ideas, there must be an important candidate. This candidate was difficult to choose, so he found Pei Xingjian. He knew people and was good at using it, but he could not match Pei Xingjian. In fact, he could have been prime minister in terms of qualifications, credit or political achievements. But after returning from a trip to the southwest, he was still a minister, because he offended his mother...

When he saw Pei Xingjian, Li Wei said, "Mr. Pei, I want to be alone. The official position should not be too high, too high and lose my moral character, not too low, and speak without weight. Moreover, this person should be able to speak and distinguish."

"This candidate is easy to find."

"It's not easy to find. There is another condition. This person does not attach much importance to reputation. For the sake of achievements, he can do some controversial things." Li Wei was thinking about the adjective, and thought for a while, and said: "That is, this person will do some flattering things for the sake of his career and knows how to adapt, but his character cannot be too bad."

This is a really weird candidate.

He is eloquent and flattering. This is easy to find, but most of the ministers like this are not very good-quality. If they want a good-quality character, they also meet the first two conditions... Pei Xingjian was stumped and asked, "Your Highness, why did you think of using such a person?"

"It's helpless..." Li Wei told the story and his thoughts. Now that the father has not issued a clear edict, he has already said it in full. This is to treat Pei Xingjian as his "his own person". He forced him! Most of his father has lost control, and the various strategies in the future will become more and more incredible. If he loses control and does not have the ability to turn the world upside down, he will be dangerous, so he must have more confidants.

It should be said that almost all the big guys in the court do not treat him badly, but each person's situation is different. Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenguan can only say that one-third are his confidants, and even these one-third are probably because they are low-key and like to be quiet and inaction, and they are not very useful. Hao Chujun and Li Yiyan dare to do things and support him strongly. It can be said that half are their own people, but when they are against their mother, they must support him. It is hard to say that they have a good character on the outside and have great talent. As for other ministers, such as Liu Shenli, Lai Heng, Xue Yuanchao, Gao Zhizhou, Guo Zhengyi, etc., it is just that Guo Zhengyi and Pei Xingjian are a little credible, or Liu Rengui. There is another person, Li Jingxuan, who has dated Li Jingxuan several times, but he vaguely feels that although this person looks good on the outside and has great talent, he is a real hypocrite who cannot be trusted.

Di Renjie and others could not consider it. Although they were their own people, they had been suppressing their father. Their status was too low and they could only give advice for themselves and could not be used. Either some officials from the Yang family and Wei family could also be entrusted.

This is the power of my own in the court.

After saying that, he looked at Pei Xingjian. If Pei Xingjian said that the minister was frightened and refused, then this person could no longer win over.

Pei Xingjian did not express his opinion, but just smiled slightly and said, "In this way, this person needs it. I can recommend one person to Your Highness. Yao Silian's grandson and secretary-general Yao Yu, this person is smart and has literary talent. He has participated in the compilation of the book "Yaoshan Yucai". His integrity is not high, but his character is not bad. He can take on the role of Your Highness."

The Secretary-General is a sixth-rank official, and his position is not high. At least at the level of Li Wei, his position is only average. But in the eyes of ordinary people, he is also a high-ranking official. Because the Secretariat only inspects and proofreads books, although Li Wei has been supervising the country several times, he does not know this person. However, Pei Xingjian said that this person is available and he will probably be able to do so.

Then he said: "I still have to be alone, a minister who is proficient in civil engineering and is best at rigorous water conservancy."

To the south of Danshui and Qinling Mountains, the newly opened river is located in Sanmen, one south and one east, and the construction volume is not small. Li Wei cannot stay on the construction site every day. That is not called being respectful, but it is called a false alarm. Wei Hongji is only one person and cannot be separated. Therefore, he also needs the assistance of a minister.

"This is not a good candidate. In the court, he should be the brothers of Yan Zhongshu, but they all have passed away. Wei Shaoqing is also fine. There may be some ministers who are proficient in civil engineering, but water conservancy..." Pei Xingjian frowned. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he has repaired a lot of water conservancy, but they have been repaired and repaired in pieces. With the construction of rivers, the project volume is not large. Even if there are governors and officials in various states, they cannot tell their ability.

"If you are not proficient in water conservancy, you can subdue the next step. Apart from Wei Shaojian, are there any other ministers in the court who are proficient in water and soil?"

Pei Xingjian recalled carefully and said, "It turns out that there is another person, Liang Xiuren, the young minister of Si Jia, who built the Daming Palace during Longshuo time. The people did not suffer for the sake of money and saved money. But this person is the same as the world..."

I thought to myself for a while and said, "It's better for Your Highness to ask Yao Yu to try it too. I have dated him several times and I am quite happy with Tumu when I hear his words. Besides, Your Highness wants to succeed. Yao Yu's trip is a key, giving him some motivation... But can Your Highness be sure of future funds?"

"Mr. Pei, please wait and see."

Pei Xingjian smiled and said nothing.

Li Wei said again: "In addition, I still need someone to supervise the project."

This candidate is easy to find but not easy to find, and it is difficult to find, mainly because of being honest. In addition, this time the purpose of water conservancy is to not harm the people, and it needs to be sympathetic to the people. At the same time, it has the ability to do things, and cannot make a name for the sake of the reputation of the clear name, which hinders the progress of construction. Not only that, the prince has another intention when he comes this time, and this manpower may lead to the prince's side in the future...

Therefore, Pei Xingjian thought hard again and said, "This candidate is the most suitable one."

This is unlikely. Zhang Wenguan was in charge of Dali Temple and was evenly used. He was indeed a good candidate, but he was not only a minister of Dali Temple, but also a prime minister of the court. How could he supervise Hegong?

After thinking for a while, he said, "I have a candidate who is very gentle and gentle. He comes from the same clan as Duke of Zheng, named Wei Xuantong. Because he sang a peace with Shangguan Yi, he was demoted to the outside of the mountain. At the beginning of this year, he returned to Beijing. Liu Shangshu's recommendation was appointed as the Chief Secretary of the Prefecture of Qi."

"I have heard of this person." It's not that I don't read historical books, but that's not his job, so I've mostly forgotten it after reading them. After Pei Xingjian reminded me, Li Wei remembered something about this person. It seemed that this person was falsely accused by a cruel official. Before he died, he said, "It's no different to kill people and kill ghosts, how can he be a rumor of a person? Then he died. Some people said that this person's words before he died could be combined with Tan Si and laughed at the sky, which became a reflection of his pen.

The other deeds are not clear, but it should be good to be comparable to Tan Sitong, so he said, "It's this person."

He said even more explicitly: "Since Gu has taken over the will of his father and built two channels, it is very labor-intensive and has a long time to use. Gu is afraid that his power is insufficient. Mr. Pei, can he choose another candidate for Gu as a helper, and make up for Gu's misunderstandings and give advice."

Pei Xingjian just laughed, but he also understood the situation facing the prince, but this person was even harder to find. Not only was he talented, his position could not be too high, too high could not be the deputy of the prince, but he could not be too low, otherwise it would not be effective. And it must be credible, and the latter one was even more difficult. However, Pei Xingjian had a ready-made candidate and said, "I can also recommend one person. There was a minister in the court who originally came from the Wei family in Jingzhao. He settled in Xiangyang because his ancestors moved south and were elected as a Jinshi. He once served in a young age,

According to the system, Gao Jifu, the Minister of Personnel, said that he was appointed as the Ministry of Personnel. Now he was given this person. How could he abandon his great virtue because of his minor mistakes? He was promoted to the supervisory censor. He was famous because of his passionate personality. Because of his passionate personality, he offended Chu Suiliang and was appointed as the Qingshui Order. Later, Zuo Su Huangfu Gongyi prosecuted the chief of the Pei Wang Mansion and was referred to as the warehouse manager of the same government. He also said that Gong was not a thing in the pool, and Qu Gong was a guest for several days to look at this mansion. He was promoted to the right department head. This man was open and upright in his life and had a straightforward personality. The letter of the first letter to be appointed as the right department head was agreed by his ministers."

"What you are talking about Wei Siqian?"

“That’s right.”

Li Wei also laughed at him. This person is not very famous, but he is very famous in the court. He even talked to each other for a few words, but his impression of each other was not bad.

Although it is difficult, such as using Wei Xuantong, it is to consider the mother's feelings. Using Wei Siqian is equivalent to snatching people from the second brother. However, Li Wei is very satisfied with the position before Li Wei. If it is not high or low, it will not work if it is too low, and it will not work if it is too high. For example, like Dai Zhide, would he promise to ascend the throne in the future and give you a higher official position. He has achieved this level, how can he be a king of a different surname? He may not have the courage to do it for Dai Zhide. And they are all talents.

He said, "Thank you, Mr. Pei."

But he smiled again. When his parents found Wei Yue for him, he refused, but he did not expect it to work gradually. Who could have predicted this time?

...

Not many people knew about this incident, just like why the emperor suddenly issued an order to revive Changsun Sheng and Changsun Wuji's official title. The inside story is unknown. Seeing the court's order to let the prince preside over the two channels again, I couldn't help but have many guesses in my heart. Could it be that the emperor re-trusts the prince?

There is a lot of discussion.

However, Wei Hongji felt relieved and wanted to make a contribution. Once the two channels were opened, if they were successful, they could even become the prime minister based on this contribution alone. But in fact, after reading it, all kinds of problems made him finally dissuaded. It would be best if the prince presided over it.

After a clear order, after Li Wei's request, it was also a reasonable request. It was two canals, not one canal. It used to be connected to the Guangtong canal and Sanmen. Now it is Danshui canal or downstream. The main canal has reached Sanmenxia on the Yellow River. There are two places that have to be divided.

So another clear order was issued, asking Wei Hongji and Zhu Jingze to continue to preside over the Sanmen Xinkai River, and asked Secretary-General Yao Shun to preside over the Danshui Canal, and Wei Xuantong, the chief of Qi Prefecture, supervised the construction of the Danshui Canal. The two canals were personally led by the prince, and Wei Siqian, the doctor of the Right Department, was deputy.

Li Wei immediately summoned Yao Shu. After Yao Shu arrived, he immediately said, "Your Highness, you must not. I am just about to meet You. The two channels have good intentions, but the cost is huge and cannot be paid by the court."

With the same thoughts as Wei Hongji, this is a great opportunity to make contributions, but he thought about it and thought that the two channels could not be realized, so he retreated before he took office. Li Wei smiled and said, "Gu also knows, so he called you to come. Please do something for Gu. If this matter is done, the funds will be resolved. It just needs Yao Shulang to be a little aggrieved."

Yao Shuo asked suspiciously: "Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"

Li Wei said his thoughts again, and then looked at Yao Shu.
