He was less than fifty years old and was appointed as the left prime minister. Li Shizhi was so proud that he was in a spring breeze. He loved to travel by nature, and his friends were now proud. When he was the governor of Tongzhou, the censor Han Chaozong admired him very much and wrote letters to praise and recommend him repeatedly. Just before he became prime minister, Han Chaozong was summoned by the emperor to be promoted to Jingzhao Yin; Fang Ma, who had been with him for many years, was promoted to the host and guest officer Wailang, and officially entered the middle-level official line of Langguan. With close friends and he is now very popular, Li's nightlife has always been colorful, and he often goes to the middle-level official.

However, he loves drinking and making friends, but he is not vague in handling government affairs. He was not inferior to him at all. No matter how much he drinks at night or how late he goes to bed, he is always energetic during the day and never has any official duties stuck. Even Li Linfu, who was determined to catch his reason for his lack of friendship and ruined affairs, could only do nothing.

If the only thing that made Li Shizhi unhappy was the rumors that had not yet subsided - if Du Shiyi had not taken the initiative to quit and give in, how could he have paid homage to him?

Since the boss was unhappy, at the night banquet at Li's house that night, he drank a jar of Jiannan Shaochun in one breath, and then he was anxious to pee, so he got up and left the seat to the back. After he came out, he heard the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras in the hall in front, but he was not interested in entering. He stood in the back porch of the house and was breathing a cool breeze. Until someone called Xiangguo behind him, he turned around and glanced at him. Seeing that he was a proofreader who was a late student who often came and went to his home, he asked lazily: "Why, it's because the singing and dancing in front are not good, so he escaped from the seat?"

"Of course not. The master is not here, but we are in front of us, and the King of Jingzhao Gong Han was worried. Let me see where the prime minister suddenly went." The proofreader bowed appropriately, and then asked, "Looking at the prime minister's face, is it because there is something wrong with the prime minister recently? I heard that since the prime minister took office as the left prime minister, the affairs in the court have not been stagnant at all, and even His Majesty often praises him. Could it be that there is something to say about the right prime minister?"

Li Linfu and Li Shizhi both came from royal family and became prime ministers. In order to distinguish between the court, in addition to those close to people, others often distinguished themselves by the title of "Left and Right Prime Minister". At this moment, when Li Shizhi heard the other party mention Li Linfu carefully, he laughed and said, "Right Prime Minister? He is ignorant. He even has to let a minor official write an article, but what can I do to me? Unfortunately, our Tang Dynasty still has a hidden figure. Although he is not in the court, everyone says that he should be the prime minister. Humph, it's ridiculous."

After hearing what Li Shizhi said, the proofreader's eyes flashed slightly, and then nodded as if he knew clearly: "It turns out that the Prime Minister is worried about those rumors. If so, I have to persuade the Prime Minister. That person who everyone praised him for his good responsibilities, but the Prime Minister thought about it, how could he accomplish anything without the people he appointed? So, in the final analysis, it was just to use people. But his post has been six years, and some of the people who followed him have been promoted, but some of them have always stood still. If the Prime Minister could transfer some of the hard-working and high-profile people to other places to promote, could he be so calm?"

Li Shizhi's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes suddenly turned sharply at the other party. However, under his direct gaze, the proofreader was still calm and composed.

"If the Prime Minister thinks that my words are absurd, then just pretend that I have never said it. Shuofang is not the Shuofang of a person. As long as the Prime Minister is doing it right, who can criticize others?"

Until the proofreader bowed and left quietly, Li Shizhi was still pondering carefully and had made up his mind for a long time. When he returned to the front hall to meet guests, he was already full of energy. After half a night of carnival, the guests left, and he called Fang Ma to his study and showed his intentions slightly. Then the host and guest waiter shook his head.

"How can you be so good brother? It's not that I'm pouring cold water on you, those rumors that Du Junli should be more prestigious are probably spread by Li Linfu. If you treat Du Junli as a thorn in your eyes for this, it would be someone else's plan."

"Even if Li Linfu plotted against me, how could he know that Du Junli was not responsible for fueling the fire?"

Li Shizhi slapped his handrail in distractedly. Seeing that Fang Ma still disagreed, he secretly regretted discussing a big deal with such a nerd. So, after the morning court the next day, he returned to the Political Affairs Hall to handle the matters at hand vigorously and resolutely, dealing with Li Longji's two temporary calls. As soon as he got home, he invited the proofreader yesterday to the study. He did not beat around the bush and said straight: "I thought about what you said last night, I thought it was quite reasonable. But if Du Junli was guarding Shuofang, it would be too much if I transferred all his confidant and loyalty because of my own personal grudges."

Although Li Shizhi was always considered to be skilled in his foreign official position, his starting point was much higher than that of ordinary scholars. After Zhongzong and Ruizong ascended the throne, they successively gave preferential treatment to the Li Tang royal family who suffered persecution in the Wuzhou Dynasty. Li Shizhi was just in a good time and was awarded the title of the sanctuary of the Chaoshan Doctor before he was young. From the fifth rank, this was even the end of many scholars' lifelong struggle. The first foreign official who was born after the General of the Right Guard was a superior assistant, so most of the time, he relied on his superior official position to defeat cleverness and make every move.

"Since the Prime Minister said that, why not move Li Jian, deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and the Old General Li? Like the Prime Minister, he is a royal family and has worked hard and made great contributions. He has been on the post of Shuofang Jiedu for six years, which is a bit of great merits and rewards. Thinking about the time, if it weren't for him, how could General Du control Shuofang? If it weren't for him, then the situation would be chaotic and the old general is needed. First, after he took office, he would not have any resentment towards the Prime Minister; second, General Du has no reason to stop him; third, if he really made a contribution, it would be that the Prime Minister would recommend him; fourth, even if it was futile, it was because General Du had made a false reputation in the past, and General Li himself had nothing to say."

After being mentioned as such a candidate and lobbying for so many reasons, Li Shizhi immediately realized. He no longer needed the other party to speak out. After sending the person away, he walked to the map of the Tang Dynasty's prefectures and counties behind him, looked thoughtfully and then, and finally pointed his fingers in the West. He would not forget that not long ago, Mo Hedayu, who was thrusting the Tang Dynasty hard on the face.

Li Shizhi recommended Li Jian, deputy governor of Shuofang, as the governor of Beiting, which naturally went beyond Li Linfu's expectations. It was not unexpected that Li Shizhi suddenly pointed the finger at Du Shiyi. In fact, the rumors were exactly what he ordered others to spread and specifically told Li Shizhi to listen to, but Li Shizhi chose the other things and started with Li Jian, so he couldn't ignore them.

The essence of controlling personnel is to rise and fall in secret - for example, he turned Yan Tingzhi, Lu Xuan, Qi Chao into the secretary of the war, and the young secretary of the war, all of whom were high and did not care about the affairs, and even gave them the title of recuperation. In this way, even if the emperor thinks of these people, he can have enough reason to prevent them from returning. But now Li Shizhi is not rising and falling in secret, and this is a complete achievement.

He just tentatively raised objections, such as Li Jian never stood alone, but then Li Shizhi showed the example of King Xin'an Li Wei. Before becoming the governor of Shuofang that time, Li Wei never really led the army to fight, but after the first battle, he shone brightly and eventually became a famous general for a lifetime. Not only that, Li Shizhi also fully utilized his excellent eloquence and began to lobby the emperor in terms of inspiring the royal family. As a result, Li Longji regretted that Zhang Shouqi died of illness and Li Wei died of illness. These famous Tang generals who rose in the middle and late Kaiyuan period had withered one by one, and finally nodded happily.

"Shizhi's recommendation is not without reason. Li Jian was the deputy governor of Shuofang for many years and was also the commander of the military commander. The ability to manage the military should be evident. Now that Beiting is a troublesome, he is the governor of Beiting. In this way, he and Meng Lingcha, the governor of the four towns of Anxi, should be no problem to curb the thunder cavalry."

Li Linfu was in a hurry, and the only thing he didn't expect was that Li Jian was a royal family. At this time, he could only sulk secretly and compliment the emperor on his face. When he and Li Shizhi retreated together, they saw the left-winged and elegant and beautiful face, and they were obviously very happy. He wanted to stab the other party, but in the end he was so cunning that he still held back.

Like Li Shizhi's personality and such a mind, he will be very compatible in the future.

When the news of Li Jian being promoted to the governor of Beiting reached Shuofang, there was an uproar. Some people were happy for Li Jian, but some were worried for him. Being able to control the side was the wish of countless civil servants and generals. However, the rebellion in the Western Regions was ten times better than other places. There were not only complex situations, but also countless small tribes that were unknown to us, as well as chiefs of all races who had turned against each other and turned against each other faster than anyone else. Especially Li Jian went to take office alone, which showed the difficulties and difficulties.

But Li Jian himself was very happy. He was not young, had strict military management, and had clear rewards and punishments. The generals were convinced by him, the veteran general. At the celebration dinner that some subordinates took the initiative to organize for him, he drank three cups in a row, and then called out the names of the officers under his command. After six years, although there were more than 20,000 soldiers in the military, he knew every officer at the level of the brigade commander, and he knew every person's proficiency and destiny. When he mentioned and encouraged everyone one by one, the banquet that should have been a festive one was filled with sadness.

So when Du Shiyi arrived, he saw a sigh of relief in the four seats, and even Li Jian's eyes were red and the water was shining.
