Pei Min said about persuasion, but Li Longji understood the meaning of "persuasion"!

If Yao Chong really listened to the advice, Li Longji would not be so dissatisfied with Yao Chong now!

This advice is no different from that.

Pei Min really means "to govern officials and to abolish Yao Prime Minister."

However, Yao Chong's status is too high and he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. It is really shocking to dismiss Yao Chong.

Pei Min's words were tactful, and Li Longji also knew the reason.

After all, Yao Chong's identity is definitely not ordinary.

Pei Min said this for no reason. Yao Chong's Yiyan character is well known.

During the years he was the prime minister, none of the prime ministers in the court had real talent and knowledge. Zhang Shuo, Wei Zhigu and Liu Youqiu were demoted to him, and Guo Yuanzhen was also underestimated.

The current prime ministers are either Lu Huaishen, or Yuan Gan Yao, who holds Yao Chong's thighs and obeys the order.

The prime minister is the second-ranked figure in a dynasty and the banner of all officials. The prime minister's character and actions often affect the character of all officials.

Yao Chong turned the court into a one-man hall. If all the civil and military officials in the court want to be promoted, they naturally have to follow Yao Chong's footsteps.

Yao Chonggu was extremely short of his shortcomings, and something happened before that.

Zhao Hui, the chief scholar of the Secretariat, was Yao Chong's confidant. Zhao Hui was greedy for money by nature. He did things like Yang Ju in the past and accepted bribes from the Hu people. After the matter was exposed, Li Longji was furious to convict him of death, but Yao Chong was his strength in the court and tried his best to rescue him because he was his confidant.

Li Longji was unhappy in his heart, but he followed Yao Chong's intention and saved Zhao Hui from his death penalty.

This incident shows that Yao Chong has set a precedent for officials to protect each other. As long as he is his person, even if he accepts bribes from the Hu people, he can be exempted from death.

From this we can see that as long as Yao Chong's party is following Yao Chong, even if there is any mistake, he can be exempted from punishment.

The entire temple is protected by officials. If you want to govern the officials and do not give up Yao Chong, that would be a fool.

But the problem is that Yao Chong is not a powerful minister, and he is also very capable. He has made great contributions to the state. Since the Tang Dynasty, his talent in governing the world has made great contributions.

Pei Min also loves and hates such a character in her heart.

"Then what!" Li Longji looked at Pei Min, his heart was also complicated: he did not deny Yao Chong's contribution to the Tang Dynasty and the achievements of civil and military officials in the court, and he, the emperor, saw it.

After he truly took power, he changed his lunar name to Kaiyuan, and it has been four years since then!

Yao Chong made the greatest contribution to the civil administration, and Pei Min made the greatest contribution to the military administration!

Without Yao Chong, there would be no current rule, and without Pei Min, the frontier would not be so stable.

Li Longji was worried that all officials would feel like they would kill the donkey when they attacked such a significant meritorious deed.

But Yao Chong refused to give up, and the officials could not be managed, and the situation was even worse.

Faced with Li Longji's problem, Pei Min paused and said, "Your Majesty follows Emperor Taizong. Can you tell me why the Zhenguan dynasty of Taizong can ensure the economic development of the world in the face of long-term foreign wars, and officials are diligent and honest?"

He paused and smiled and said, "Emperor Taizong used Yaoshi Gong as prime minister to ensure the victory of the country's military; used Xuanling Gong as prime minister to determine the country's strategy; used Xuancheng Gong as prime minister to ensure the integrity of officials. It can be seen that if the country is truly strong, relying on one person alone is far from enough. Yao's talent is comparable to Xuanling Gong during the Taizong period, but he cannot replace Xuancheng Gong. I think that Your Majesty needs to promote a prime minister who is as upright as Xuancheng Gong, who dares to speak out directly."

The pharmacist, Xuanling, and Xuancheng Gong mentioned by Pei Min naturally refer to the three most outstanding talents under Li Shimin, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.

Pei Min said this and Li Longji felt sad.

A country needs all kinds of talents. Yao Chong is indeed outstanding, but he cannot do what Li Jing and Wei Zheng do, but he rejects Li Jing and Wei Zheng's appearance.

"Then do you have a suitable candidate?" Li Longji asked again.

Pei Min looked at the emperor in front of him with a blank look on his face and said, "This minister really doesn't know. With this skill, I will only come up with a few bad ideas. In terms of hiring people, I can compare with Your Majesty."

When you should pretend to be stupid, it is better to pretend to be stupid!

Li Longji didn't doubt him and asked, "Then what do you think of Song Jing, the Minister of Justice?"

Pei Min thought to himself: "Sure!"

Li Longji had the intention to dismiss Yao Chong, but Yao Chong made too much contribution and he couldn't take it seriously.

To put it bluntly, even Li Longji, the successor of Yao Chong, has already looked for it.

Pei Min praised: "Shangshu Song was selfless in his punishment and dared to offend Yan and directly advise him, but he had the potential of Xuan Chenggong. With him as the prime minister, he would definitely be able to achieve great prosperity in the administration and change the current trend."

In fact, Li Longji did this in history. He used Yao Chong as prime minister and formulated the policy of Zhan, and used Song Jing as prime minister to rectify civil and military officials. The Kaiyuan period was clear and the officials were honest, and the Kaiyuan period was laid in one fell swoop.

Li Longji sighed: "It's just that I understand Yao Xiang's character, he can't tolerate Shangshu Song!"

Pei Min looked at Li Longji and felt speechless. Li Longji's behavior was obviously just to be a bitch and to be a chastity arch.

In terms of courage, Li Longji is indeed much inferior to Li Shimin.

After thinking about it, Pei Min suddenly moved his heart and said happily: "Your Majesty, I actually have some opinions on the temple I want to be in. I have always believed that opening up the best system is the best system. Therefore, if one person has a short plan and three people have a high plan, you can order the censor to serve as the political affairs, restore the censors, and the historians to attend the prime minister's meeting."

Li Longji suddenly realized and a smile appeared on his face.

Letting censors and historians participate in the discussion of national affairs is a system in the Li Shimin period, that is, to promote truly talented people, let them participate in national affairs in advance, cultivate their abilities, and achieve the purpose of supervising the government. However, after Wu Ze's Catholic rule, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu and others were promoted to be prime ministers, and many things they did not dare to make public, so this system was abolished.

It has never been restored. When Li Longji took power and Yao Chong became prime minister, it was even more impossible to restore this system. Because letting the censors and historians participate is equivalent to invisibly differentiating his power and giving the censors the power to discuss politics. Yao Chong would not shoot himself in such a thing.

As long as this system is restored, once Yao Chong's power is divided, with Yao Chong's wisdom and strategy, can't he still notice the problem?

If Yao Chong knew the tact, he would be a minister with Song Jing at the same time. If he didn't know the tact, he would have reason to dismiss him.

Thinking that he didn't have to bear the "crime" of "unblocking the donkey" on his back, Li Longji felt relieved and smiled and said, "Jingyuan is really my confidant. Many things can be solved by you. If Yaozhou had not been unable to do without you, I really wanted to transfer him back to Chang'an."

Pei Min hurriedly said, "It is my honor to be able to serve Your Majesty."
