Zhao Ziliang carefully read all the recommendation letters, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea and told Du Fu: "Inform Li Mian to come and arrange a time for me to meet him."
Du Fu handed over his hand and agreed: "No" Gao Shang asked: "The king wants to appoint Li Mian as Jingzhao Yin.
Li Mian is from the clan.
He may be on the side of the prince.
In this case, Jingzhao Mansion will no longer be under our control."
Zhao Ziliang has already considered this issue.
After much deliberation, he still feels that only Li Mian is the most suitable for this position.
He said: "I have considered Mr.
Gao's concerns, but do I and the Regent's Palace need to form a clique for personal gain in order for the decree to pass?"
The answer is that there is no need for you people to serve in various yamen of the imperial court.
I don’t hold any positions in the government.
You are just my king’s staff.
I don’t have to pull all the courtiers into my camp to control the court situation.
I am the ruler.
There are already three parties in the court.
I What the king and the regent's government have to do is to balance these forces and ensure the smooth implementation of the decree.
Whoever If the execution of the decree is obstructed, the king and the regent's government will suppress it.
Since ancient times, the phenomenon of cliques has existed in any dynasty.
It is almost impossible to eliminate this phenomenon.
This is the self-protection of officials and ministers.
A subconscious behavior, we don’t need to eliminate the factions in the DPRK, we just need to control Balance, I want these court ministers to understand that I am not targeting or eradicating their power, I am just telling everyone that I don’t care who is who, as long as he is talented, loyal to the court, and supports me.
If you have strategic governance and work diligently in royal affairs, I will give you important responsibilities, and if you do not, I will suppress you."
Li Muchen thought thoughtfully and said: "Your Majesty is wise.
If this happens, the ministers and officials will soon discover that your Majesty is not intentionally targeting any of them.
No matter which force in the court, they will no longer regard your Majesty and the Regent's Palace as enemies."
They will treat the king as an emperor and compete for favor in front of the king.
Then, they will continue to be hostile and guarded against each other, but they will also become more and more attentive to government affairs."
Zhao Ziliang was non-committal about Li Muchen's analysis, while other officials nearby were suddenly enlightened, as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining brightly.
It turned out that the truly wise people in power were playing tricks of power in this way.
While everyone was still thinking about this matter, Li Mi had already stood up and said with his hands in his hands: "Your Majesty, I think that although your Majesty's measures to rectify the administration of officials have begun to show results, we still cannot be careless because the imperial army is not fully It is in the hands of the king.
As long as the army is not completely controlled by the king, any decrees and measures issued by the king may be overturned.
The three factions of the imperial court and the powerful families in the army.
Spokespersons, and their positions are not low, and many of them are generals.
These people have no idea of the supreme interests of the Tang Dynasty and the court.
In their eyes, family is of course more important than the country, so they are selfish in the end.
How heavy is it?
Your Majesty, it is best not to use your own standards to judge their lower limit.
Your Majesty should immediately start to reorganize the army.
Even if you cannot control it immediately, you must limit and disperse the military power of the generals who command the army."
Zhao Ziliang took it seriously and stood up and saluted Li Mi with his fists clasped: "Sir, you are really Xiao Heye of Han Dynasty."
Li Mi quickly stepped aside and said, "Your Majesty, you are so polite.
I am ashamed of myself."
Zhao Ziliang immediately said to Du Fu: "This is the king's order, and all the generals with the rank of Zhaowu Xiaowei and above from all the armies in the capital will rush to the imperial city at midnight tomorrow morning to discuss matters.
If there is no mistake, military law will be engaged."
"yes" In the afternoon, Li Mian came to the Prince Regent's Palace after being notified, and Zhao Ziliang received him in the Zijin Pavilion in the Palace.

Li Mian was a member of the clan and had always been known for his strictness and ability.
When he served as the supervisory censor, he was not afraid of power, upright and outspoken.
He often impeached officials who were disrespectful and illegal during court meetings.
He was highly regarded by Suzong, and he was also appointed to him after Daizong succeeded to the throne.
With heavy responsibility.
Zhao Ziliang decided to appoint Li Mian as Jing Zhaoyin this time because he wanted to use his integrity, ability and flexibility to improve the security of the capital and improve the economic situation of Chang'an.
Zhao Ziliang asked him: "How is the situation over there in Lingnan?"
Li Mian said: "There are many thieves in Lingnan.
Now the power of the imperial court is weak.
The generals guarding Lingnan are somewhat dissatisfied with the government's orders."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "I know some of the situations you mentioned, but now the imperial court has decided to reduce the vassalage.
The first thing is that from now on, Jiedushi will no longer be appointed, and even observation envoys can be appointed.
The lack of appointment does not mean that the court does not trust the ministers and officials.
If the court wants to change the current passive situation, it must start to change the system.
Restricting the rights of local officials, if they are allowed to command the military, manage government affairs, and have financial power, it will easily breed their ambitions.
Mr.
Li has also seen the entire evolution of the current situation in the Tang Dynasty.
If no vassal reduction is carried out, the vassal towns will There will only be more and more, so you, the Lingnan Jiedushi, can no longer continue, but I have other appointments for you, and I hope you can take the overall situation into consideration."
After hearing this, Li Mian cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty can say this to your innermost feelings.
Your Majesty, I'm very touched.
Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm not a person who doesn't have an overall view.
No matter where the imperial court transfers you, I will obey your orders."
And do it” Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Very good, I am very happy that you think so.
After careful consideration, I have decided to let you take up the position of Jing Zhaoyin.
Jing Zhaoyin's responsibility and burden are not light.
Everyone in Chang'an City eats, drinks, and sleeps."
I'm counting on you.
The prosperity of Chang'an has ceased in recent years.
It's far worse than it was during the Kaiyuan and Tianbao years.
This is partly because of the rebellion and the destruction of the city, and partly because of improper employment.
The reason is that the first thing I hope you will do after taking office is to rectify the official administration of Jingzhao Mansion and appoint wise people to serve as officials.
People like Wei Zhen and Xue Cui must not be allowed.
Officials cannot be overstaffed.
What the government needs now is people who can do things. , officials who know how to do things and dare to do things; secondly, public security issues have always been a big problem in Chang'an, especially in recent years, several rebellions have occurred, which has given Chang'an The city has caused havoc, which has also brought huge disasters to public security.
Not only are petty bandits running rampant, but also officials, nobles, and relatives of the emperor are trampling on the dignity of the law.
I know that you are a person who is not afraid of power.
Man, I hope you will continue to maintain this quality and dare to fight against the evil forces.
I will give you my backing.
No matter who dares to challenge the authority of the Tang Law, I will firmly support you.
Punishment for this kind of behavior; another one is the people's life and economic problems.
Chang'an's economic level is much lower than before.
You, the Jingzhao Prefecture, should find ways to let the people have something to do and make money.
You have enough to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to live in.
I also know that it is not an easy task to do this, so you have a very heavy responsibility."
Li Mian stood up, clasped his fists at Zhao Ziliang, lifted up his robe and bowed down: "Thanks to the great king's respect, the court has entrusted important responsibilities to the humble ministers.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The humble ministers can only devote themselves to death and die."
Not all the relatives of the emperor are hedonistic, idle, idle and dandy children.
There are still capable people among the clan and relatives, and Li Mian is undoubtedly the best among them.
Zhao Ziliang appointed Li Mian as the chief minister of Jingzhao.
Yin can rest assured that this person's public heart is much more important than selfishness.
In less than an hour, the news that Li Mian was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin spread like wings.
By night, the whole of Chang'an knew the news, which made many people start to worry and fear.
Li Mian But there is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is a member of the clan.
The key is that this person is upright and selfless, and dares to confront the powerful.
This news makes many people sleepless at night.
Although the news of Li Mian's appointment as Jing Zhaoyin made many people become wary, more court ministers and officials were wondering why Zhao Ziliang would let Li Mian, who was born in the clan, serve as Jing Zhaoyin.
This was not in line with common sense.
Zhao Ziliang should now We should try our best to eliminate the clan's right to speak in the court, so why did we let Li Mian be appointed as Jing Zhaoyin?
Soon, ministers and officials with rich experience in political struggles understood that Zhao Ziliang would use whoever had the talent, no matter who he was. people.
Zhao Ziliang's appointment of Li Mian as Jingzhao Yin made the big bosses of the three factions in the DPRK and China understand that he was not going to attack and target one faction or other forces, but to change the current bad situation and let corrupt officials Leaving or being punished, allowing talented and ambitious people to be reused and promoted, changing the stale official atmosphere in the past, and improving the political environment are the only ways to save Datang at present.
Yuanzai's mansion.
In the hall, there were all the officials sent by the prime minister.
Yuan Zai sat on the main seat, frowning and said: "It seems that our previous understanding of the regent was too superficial.
Since he does not use force to govern, then we cannot follow him.
He fought hard and everyone acted within the rules, which is good.”
Song Hui said: "Mr.
Prime Minister, although I say so, Zhao Ziliang always makes a fuss about Tan Mo's little things, which is a bit unbearable.
Mr.
Prime Minister, think about it, who is an official in this world now?"
If he keeps doing this without making some money, all of us here will have to put him in a cell, and our lives may even be at risk."
Han Hui said: "This is not simple.
The worst thing is that everyone here, including the Prime Minister, will just stop making money in the future.
Haven't you made enough over the years?"
Dong Xiu sneered: "Master Han, you are an elegant person and don't care about things that smell like copper, but we are all common people, and common people have to eat.
Can you do it without money?"
Han Hui counterattacked: "That's enough.
Although the more money is, the better, but you can't bring it into the underworld of the Yin Dynasty."
Dong Xiu and others looked at Yuan Zai: "Master Xiang" Yuan Zai frowned and raised his hand: "Let the truth subside for a while for the time being.
His wind will not blow forever.
His strong power will not last long.
There will always be times of weakness.
Control your hands and feet.
Do you understand?"
Everyone had no choice but to agree: "Yes":
