Chapter 416
"Appoint another position for Li Xiao?" Li Daozong tried to ask Li Ji.
None of the eight prime ministers in the Zhengshi Hall have the qualifications and high prestige of Li Ji. Even Li Daozong, who is a royal family, asks him for his opinions everywhere.
"It's not easy to arrange."
Li Ji said with a wry smile.
When Li Xiao left Beijing three years ago, his position was not high. He was a fourth-rank secretary and was sent to the governor of Wuzhenzhou. He also gave him the title of placing him as a platoon of the politician.
At that time, it was obvious that it was an increase in openness and a decline in secret, and was demoted to Haidong from afar. It was given the title of a politician, but at that time, there were only two states in Andong Road, and it was still the enemy territory that had just been captured.
But who would have expected that Li Xiao could have been there for so long and so much trouble. In this blink of an eye, Li Xiao is no longer the former governor who was exiled and released. Before he came back, he was the first and only governor of the Tang Dynasty. He also had the title of Observation Transportation Envoy and the Governor of Xiongzhou.
In three years, he suppressed the rebellion of Baekje for the court, defeated the Japanese invasion of the peninsula, annexed Silla, who had a dissolute intention, and paid tens of millions of wealth to the court, adding 800 miles of land to the Tang Dynasty, and adding more than 6 million new conquered population.
So many achievements are enough to shake the government and the country.
Moreover, Li Xiao is still the Duke of Lelang County and the Prince's Young Guardian.
Now that he is coming back, how could he be able to pass any position?
"Why don't you let Li Xiao be the secretary?" Li Yifu asked.
Before leaving Beijing, Li Xiao was a secretary and a junior supervisor. Now he is back to work as a secretary supervisor, which seems to be a good thing. Although it seems that the junior supervisor and the supervisor are only one step away, in fact, to take this step, it takes a big circle, and the difference is more than one step.
Moreover, the position of secretary supervisor is light and heavy. The key is to see who will take charge of it and whether it can gain the trust of the emperor. For example, Wei Zheng of the Zhenguan Dynasty once served as secretary supervisor to serve as the chief political affairs and became half the prime minister.
But on the other hand, the secretary and supervisor are certainly not as good as the Minister of War. Although the Secretary is only one of the six ministers, if you can become the Minister of War, even if you don’t become the Minister of War now, you will definitely become the Minister of War next step.
What the prime minister wanted to stop Li Xiao from becoming a prime minister.
"Why do you think of a way to change Li Xiao to serve as an official?"
"Another place? Where can I change it? He was the governor of Andong before, which was more powerful than the other five great gubernators. Wherever he changed it, he seemed like a demotion. It was even more impossible to say that Li Xiao went to the border and only served as a governor or governor? You can't agree to such a transfer."
If only he could persuade the emperor to take back the appointment of the governor, then even if Li Xiao is transferred to the other major vassal states, it would be a thing of the past.
But if they have been the governor of the army, wouldn’t he be demoted? Li Xiao’s great contribution is that if they do this, they will not be criticized by the people of the world. It is estimated that Chang'an News will be able to issue a special edition tomorrow or a special edition to criticize them. After all, Chang'an News has now sold more than 5,000 copies per issue, and the sales area covers the entire capital area, and even officials from various prefectures and counties can subscribe and watch through the post station.
And this newspaper happens to be Li Xiao’s biggest boss. Isn’t this unhappy? Now the editor-in-chief is Princess Lantian. She is very favored in front of the emperor and the queen. She still dares to cause trouble for her if she is criticized by her.
A group of prime ministers were frowning about how to resettle Li Xiao who was about to return to Beijing.
"If I had known, I might as well agree to Li Xiao to stay in Haidong."
"Li Xiao is so brave, he dare not let him stay there anymore. The Ministry of War Department has reported it. Li Xiao is there to prepare for the war and is ready for war. If he doesn't transfer him back, he probably won't want to fight Goguryeo, and he will cross the sea to conquer the Japanese. Now the Qinghai war is about to start, so Li Xiao can't make trouble at this time. Although he has won the battle before, who can guarantee that he can win again this time?"
When Li Ji talked about this, he was very rude to hide his dissatisfaction with Li Xiao. "Goguryeo is not Baekje or Silla after all. This is a centipede worm that will not be frozen even if it dies for a while. If you really want to fight a trapped beast, how could Li Xiao do the task of a few tens of thousands of new troops? If you fail and ruin the great situation of Anton that you finally achieved, it will be more than worth the loss."
"Even if Japan cannot let him fight, he wants to fight Japan. Goguryeo is heading south to invade Anton at this time, and the imperial court has no soldiers to rescue him. After all, what we need now is a stable Anton, so we asked Gao Kan to replace Li Xiao. With Gao Kan and Xue Rengui, two of them, one in the south and one in the north, we can ensure that the situation in the east can be maintained for the time being."
"Isn't Your Majesty still planning to let Li Xiao be the left guard of the Eastern Palace? I think it's better to just let Li Xiao go to the Eastern Palace to be an official. Now that the crown prince is young, it's good to be the crown prince's teacher at this age. Just let Li Xiao be the crown prince's secretary, or the left and right illegitimate son." Li Yifu smiled and said.
The Eastern Palace has a set of bureaucrats, and its organization is even imagined by the court, which is a simplified version of the three provinces and six ministries. For example, the imperial court has the Shangshu, the Zhongshu, and the three provinces under the school, while the Eastern Palace has the Zhanshi Mansion and the Zuochunfang. The Crown Prince Zhanshi is equivalent to the Shangshu Ling, the left concubine is equivalent to the Zhongshu Ling, and the right concubine is equivalent to the Shizhong.
In addition, there are six masters of the crown prince, namely the crown prince's grand tutor, the crown prince's grand tutor, and the crown prince's grand tutor, all of whom are first-ranked. There are also the crown prince's Shaoshi, the crown prince's grand tutor, and the crown prince's grand tutor, all of whom are second-ranked. However, these positions are the same as the third division and three dukes of the court, and they are only honored and have no actual positions.
The real job in the Eastern Palace is still one mansion and two yards, and the six guards of the Eastern Palace who commanded the troops.
The Crown Prince Zhan Shi is a third-rank official, equivalent to the position of Shangshu Ling or Pushe. All the imperial decrees and orders, and those in the Eastern Palace under the Spring House of the Spring House will be forwarded by Zhan Shi Mansion.
There are two Zuo Shuzi, the fourth rank, who is in charge of the attendant and praises the ministers and refutes the emperor.
In general, the most important official in the Eastern Palace is a crown prince, a secretary, two left concubines and two right concubines. There are also officials such as Xima, but the rank is lower. The number of guards is mostly the generals in the court, and they are not all officials in the Eastern Palace.
It is really a good idea to let Li Xiao be an official in the Eastern Palace. After all, the prince is only six years old and he still doesn't know anything.
The prince Zhan Shi was of a high rank, the third rank, the same as the Minister of War, and it was more respected than the Minister of War. But in fact, the prince was only six years old, how many years would it take for him to inherit the throne? The emperor is still in the spring and autumn.
"Then let Li Xiao be the prince's secretary. This position is usually held by respected old ministers. Let Li Xiao be the one who can do it, so that he can feel at ease to teach the prince in the East Palace. The prince is the crown prince of a country. Teaching the prince is a long way to go and a great achievement is a great achievement. It concerns the country and the destiny of the Tang Dynasty!"
None of the old guys wanted Li Xiao, who was only 26 years old, to come in and be on an equal footing with them, so they all made a smile and unanimous decision, rejecting the emperor's decree to be the Minister of War and the Prince's Left Guard, and instead requesting the emperor to make Li Xiao the position of the prince's secretary.
