"His Majesty is too capable. If he continues like this, what else do we have to do?”
Chen Shuda stroked his beard and said,"
"That's not right. You said five divisions, but isn't there still the Bureau of Military Personnel?”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Jing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
Li Jing remained silent. When he saw everyone looking at him, the corner of his mouth twitched." Why are you looking at me? What do you think the Bureau of Military Personnel can do?"”
"In the past, the Turks were a great threat to our Great Tang, but ever since His Majesty single-handedly resisted the two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers and captured Jie Li alive, our Great Tang's greatest threat has disappeared.”
"But do you know that this matter did not go through the Bureau of Military Personnel at all? Do you know what the outside world is saying about us? They're all clamoring to disband!"
Li Jing said with a straight face," I think it's best to disband them. What's the point of keeping the Bureau of Military Personnel? In the future, only five of the six departments will be left. There's no need to keep these idle people from the Bureau of Military Personnel."”
“……”
Pei Ji's eyes twitched. He finally understood why the Six Ministers and the other ministers had come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
What these people were annoyed about now was that they had nothing to do, making them look like trash.
Do you think that just because you came to Shangshu Province, you would have something to do and show off your abilities so that you wouldn't look like trash?
The Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province were not much better than the six departments!
A bitter smile appeared on Pei Ji's face.
The responsibility of the three provinces was to draft the decree and pass it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for implementation.
However, after Li Chengdao took the throne, the Ministry of Central Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had not received a single imperial edict.
Li Chengdao was a tyrant!
The ministers of the six ministries felt that they were trash, and Pei Ji felt the same way. He was no different from trash.
Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, and Xiao Yu looked at each other. This was really new. This had never happened in the past dynasties.
Because Tian Zi was too powerful, the officials had nothing to do.
"It's not necessarily a good thing for Your Majesty to handle the court affairs too quickly.”
Feng Deyi clicked his tongue." Why don't we submit a memorial together so that the little emperor won't be too tired and can rest more?”
Li Daozong glared at him and said,"
"Then aren't you presenting our trash side to His Majesty?”
"Do you think we have something to do just because His Majesty is resting?”
"Didn't you see that His Majesty has only returned to the palace for half a day, and the matters of the three provinces, six departments, and twelve divisions have all been dealt with by him.”
"Half a day! After settling the matter that would take us two to three months to resolve!”
Li Daozong said with a solemn expression,
"What His Majesty needs is not to let him rest at all. Instead, we have to find something for ourselves to show His Majesty that we are not idle people in the court!”
"Then can you find it?"
Feng Deyi looked at him angrily." Do you think I don't want to give you guys something to do?”
"It's because there's nothing for you to do now. His Majesty has already done everything that can be done!”
"If you really think that there's nothing to do, then sweep the land of Shangshu Province properly," Feng Deyi said with a straight face.”
"Don't mention this. It makes me angry.”
"When I came, there were at least twenty colleagues fighting for brooms, and a dozen ministers lying on the ground collecting dust with their hands," Li Daozong said in a bad mood.”
“？？？”Feng Deyi looked at him in disbelief. How could the Tang Imperial Court be involved to this extent?
Pei Ji's eyes twitched. This was the first time that all the civil and military officials in the court were jumping up and down because they had nothing to do.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said,"Actually, it's not that there's nothing to do. This old master just remembered something that needs to be dealt with at the moment.”
With a swoosh, all the officials stared at him.
"Duke of Wei Pei, you should have said so earlier."
Li Daozong's eyes lit up as a fawning smile appeared on his face.
"What do you think about leaving this matter to the Ministry of Justice?”
Duan Lun said unhappily,"
"What do you mean by handing it over to the Ministry of Justice? Everything should be done on a first-come, first-served basis. It was clearly our Ministry of Works who arrived first in the Ministry of History, so this kind of thing should be handed over to our Ministry of Works first.”
"Bullshit!" Sun Fujia scolded. When you, Minister of Works, Duan Lun, came, I was already sweeping the floor. In terms of first come, first serve, it should be handed over to our Ministry of Revenue.”
Li Jing suddenly said," In my opinion, we shouldn't follow the principle of first come, first served. We should follow the principle of who is more capable. Take our Ministry of War for example.”
With a swoosh, all the officials looked at Li Jing.
"What do you mean by Ministry of War?" Doulu Kuan sneered. Do you know that the Bureau of Military Personnel was almost disbanded?”
Gao Shilian did not hide the contempt in his eyes."You're right. Let's see what your Bureau of Military Personnel can do. The Turks are a mortal enemy of the Great Tang, and your Bureau of Military Personnel has been established since the founding of the Great Tang, yet you still haven't dealt with this mortal enemy in nine years."”
Gao Shilian raised three fingers and said firmly,""And the eldest grandson of the emperor ascended the throne three days ago, and Jie Li was captured alive in Chang 'an. Do you have the face to say that the Ministry of War is powerful? Stand aside!"
Li Jing was so angry that his face turned red. He said angrily,
"Then we have to give the Bureau of Military Personnel a chance to prove ourselves. I think this matter can prove the ability of the Bureau of Military Personnel!”
"Hehe." Li Daozong sneered.
Gao Shilian waved his hand impatiently." Step aside. It's not your turn to speak now."”
"Do you know what queuing is?" Sun Fujia said disdainfully.”
Doulu Kuan clicked his tongue." If you want to prove your strength, then go find something to do. Can't you see that the other five divisions are so bored that they're almost out of their minds?"”
" As we all know," Duan Lun said regretfully," from today onwards, there will be three provinces and six divisions, but only five divisions. One of them is truly useless."”
"You dare to call the Bureau of Military Personnel trash? I won't beat you to death!"
Li Jing's face turned ashen when he heard that. He grabbed Duan Lun's collar and threw him over his shoulder.
Duan Lun was stunned for a long time. He only reacted when he was lying on the ground. After standing up with his hands on the ground, he said angrily,"Li Jing, you dare to hit me? You're rebelling against the heavens!"
After saying that, Duan Lun kicked him.
Li Jing sneered and flashed.
Duan Lun's kick landed directly on Sun Fujia's stomach.
Sun Fujia bent his back in pain and hissed,""This old man is already seventy-eight years old this year. Do you want to send this old man to heaven as soon as possible? Everyone from the Ministry of Revenue, come out and beat Duan Lun to death!”
