Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Li Xin saluted Elder Xiao respectfully.

Xiao Yu didn't bother with these etiquette issues, but frowned and said: "Oh, if you make such a wild statement in public in the court, if it doesn't come true, the new department you've been thinking about will be useless."

In all fairness, Mr. Xiao is not particularly in favor of adding a new department other than the six. If any other person dared to raise such a thing at the court meeting without knowing the sky, he would definitely not agree—although he would not be the first to stand up and oppose it.

However, if there is no objection for a while, he never minds taking the lead.

And the biggest reason why he has reservations about this new department at the moment is because Li Xin proposed this matter, that's all.

Some things that sound unreasonable, if they are said by Li Xin, it seems to be a little more reasonable.

Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Yu to completely listen to Li Xin's words. In fact, he also has reservations about this new ministry. However, compared to whether this new so-called Ministry of Science should be established, he is more concerned about Li Xin's way of doing things.

In Xiao Yu's eyes, Li Xin is undoubtedly a very capable young man, but his methods of doing things are often not smooth enough, even naive. This is definitely not a good thing for a future pillar of the Tang Dynasty.

Because of this, Xiao Yu will try to teach Li Xin in normal times, and teach him more ways to take advantage of the court.

Taking today's incident as an example, it is not a wise choice for Li Xin to confront Gui Zhehan in such a radical way.

A science department that is independent of the six-department system cannot be established casually, and must go through long-term discussions and designs. The objections of Gui Zhehan and his like should have been expected by Li Xin.

The next thing to do is to shirk and prevaricate, win over people who can be united, attack dissidents, and finally make the final decision to promote the establishment of the Ministry of Science, or fail in the struggle.

Frankly speaking, with the escort of Chen Yin, Xiao Yu, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, etc., plus the most important Li Shimin himself, as long as Li Xin is not engaged in treason, any political struggle is estimated to be Can't beat him. He can do whatever he wants.

However, he chose the most radical way: Don't you say that the Ministry of Science is useless? Okay, let me show you what the science department is for, and you will shut up when you see it!

Everyone shut up, wouldn't Li Xin's goal be achieved?

Although this method is more direct and faster than the previous one, it is also more risky.

Because once Li Xin fails to fulfill what he promised within the stipulated time, the entire science department will become a joke. At least in his lifetime, it is impossible to mention this matter again. And this incident will also be recorded in the annals of history, becoming a major stain on Li Xin, and even affecting his political future.

He threatened to make people fly, but he failed in the end, and made a big joke in public. Anyone who has such an experience, once they are in a high position, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to convince the public.

This is also the reason why Xiao Yu insisted on talking to Li Xin. He really thought that Li Xin was too reckless this time.

Li Xin naturally respected Mr. Xiao. But I have to say that the older generations of the empire are a little lacking in imagination.
