February 11, Imperial Hongwen Museum.

"Let's take it." In the hall, among the "imperial names" submitted by a group of Confucian scholars, Liu Chengyou picked the word "Hao".

"Hao, clear and far-reaching, not only in line with water morality, but also show the broad mind of the official, very good!" Liu Chengyou's words fell, and Tao Gu, who was sitting on the side, opened his mouth and licked it.

As a courtier who followed Liu Chengyou when he was in the palace, Tao Gu was naturally promoted, and he was promoted to the scholar, the bachelor of the Hongwen Pavilion, and the minister of the ancestral hall. In Hongwen Hall, only under the university scholar Su Yuqi, Su Yuqi, that is the minister. Tao Gu's goal seems to be clearer, and if he goes further, he will have a place in the political affairs hall.

Liu Chengyou is used to complimenting him, and his reaction is very flat. Liu Chengyou didn't care about the imperial name, the emperor's name was not used to call the people of this dynasty, at most, when writing history, he mentioned it. Liu Chengyou changed, but it was still the same as usual, and it was convenient for his subjects. After all, the cost of Yi Yi's name is much lower than that of people in the world who avoid names and write compositions.

Waiting in front of him are all old ministers, Confucian scholars, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Yun, Li Song, He Ning, Li Huan and others, which can be described as brilliant. Among these people, like Li Song, He Ning, or the prime minister of the former dynasty, although they have official status, and they are not low, but they are all placed in the third hall, repairing books and compiling chronicles, basically raised as mascots, and they are not taken seriously.

Since the founding of the country, the Han Dynasty has despised literati very much, from top to bottom. Like Yang Wei, he was extremely contemptuous of Confucianism, and felt that the articles and rituals were all false things, and they were not enough, how could it be important to have abundant treasures and strong soldiers.

Therefore, I was very happy to get Liu Chengyou's special summons to perform this time.

"Your Majesty, the first emperor expelled Hu Lu, saved the world, combed mountains and rivers, and opened up the Han Dynasty. After repeated discussions by the ministers and others, the first emperor was honored and proposed to be Gaozu, and the emperor of Zhenruiwen Shengwu Zhaosu Xiao. The ceremonial envoy Zhang Zhao came out of the ranks, presented the seal, and said: "The ritual music is intended to be written separately in the name of 'Guande'. Your Majesty, please. ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou took it, although he only browsed it a little, but for the sake of solemnity, he still groaned for a while, and then said: "But! ”

He may have outstanding literary talents, but for Liu Chengyou at this time, he is not in urgent need of talents, and with Liu Chengyou's cultural literacy, he has not yet had the ability to talk to him. In order to avoid embarrassing conversations, he slightly showed his attention to literary talents, hinting at a "beautiful" future, Liu Chengyou didn't say much, and let his generation retreat.

After ascending the throne, Liu Chengyou moved the political hall to the side of the Guangzheng Palace.

Stepping into the political hall, he raised his hand to exempt the subordinates of the Chinese scholar from saluting, and went straight into the hall. Or a few old faces, Yang Wei, Wang Zhang, Ersu, Li Tao are all here, Yang Wei and Su Fengji are arguing about something, I saw Yang Wei said sharply: "His generation has no virtue and talent, in office, he is short of government affairs, he has not been able to fulfill his duties, he has not dismissed his power, he has been kind, how can he be promoted?" ”

It's been a while, and I haven't heard Yang Wei have such a loud voice in the political hall, and he is still so excited.

It was followed by Su Fengji's rebuttal: "Your Majesty has ascended to the pole and rewarded the civil and military, do you want to favor one over the other?" What do you want your ministers to think of Your Majesty? ”

"The people you mentioned are all greedy people, even if they are a captain and a book, they will not be allowed, and they will not be allowed to do so, and they will be the officials of the six departments!" Yang Wei glared at Su Fengji: "With the old man here, incompetent people will never be allowed to steal the temple and corrupt the dynasty!" ”

"What a big breath!" Su Fengji's face was very ugly, this was almost referring to Sang scolding Huai, he looked back at Yang Wei coldly, and sneered: "You Yang Shuxiang, can you still make decisions on behalf of Your Majesty?" ”

"You!"

Su Fengji is a very yin person, and whenever he has a discussion with Yang Wei, he always naturally brings Liu Chengyou, as if he is representing Liu Chengyou, so that others seem to be standing on the opposite side of Liu Chengyou. After listening to it too much, Liu Chengyou was also a little impatient in his heart, and Liu Chengyou was already dissatisfied with this practice of satisfying his selfish desires under the guise of his authority. Of course, in the final analysis, the reason is that at this stage, Liu Chengyou no longer needs Su Fengji to compete with Yang Wei.

stopped outside the hall and listened for a while, Liu Chengyou had some numbers in his heart about the dispute between the two, it was nothing more than that Su Fengji wanted to take the opportunity of Liu Chengyou to reward the ministers after he ascended the throne, and seek some promotions for his party members, and by the way, he made another profit, but Yang Wei refused.

"Ahem." He coughed lightly twice.

However, it is estimated that the voice was too soft, and it did not attract the attention of the ministers, and when Liu Chengyou appeared, he was discovered by the "sharp-eyed" Su Yuqi, who got up and saluted first.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Liu Chengyou sat on the main seat with a cold face, and without waiting for him to speak, all the ministers sat down habitually. Falling into his eyes, Liu Chengyou seemed to be fascinated, squeezed his eyes hard, swept towards Yang Wei and Su Fengji, and said a beating: "You are all ministers, assisting in national affairs, such a dispute, if it is passed on, it will be a big loss of dignity!" The three of them became tigers, and the insider, Shang Xiao, and the second duke expressed their opinions on state affairs, and those ignorant and foolish people were afraid that they would think that my Han Zaichen was not in harmony, and there was any contradiction in it! ”

When Liu Chengyou said this, Yang Su's faces were a little unsightly, Su Fengji glanced at Yang Wei, and said to Liu Chengyou without much sincerity: "What Your Majesty said is very true, and the ministers are not formal." ”

Yang Wei was angry, raised his head and glanced at Liu Chengyou, and then leaned down slightly: "Please forgive your majesty." ”

Waving his hand casually, Liu Chengyou asked knowingly: "What's the matter, the dispute between the two ministers is so fierce?" ”

Hearing this, during the argument between the two, Li Tao, who always had a serious face, took out a booklet and presented it to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, this is the list of civil and military officials who have drawn up a list of promotions, rewards, promotions, and transfers. Your Majesty, please take a look. ”

The eunuch respectfully presented the booklet to Liu Chengyou, took it casually, opened it and skimmed it roughly, and most of the officials above were not impressed, except for a few people, or only heard of their names.

And the so-called official transfer, like the six Shangshu, Shilang, Siqing, the six army generals, generals, and the like, just rotated each person in a circle, the military department to the official department, the officials department to the criminal department, and the criminal department to the household department...... And the actual duties of the three divisions and six temple supervisors are the focus of the dispute between Yang and Su.

"The public has discussed, and I basically have no objections." Although he looked carelessly, Liu Chengyou's decision was done quickly, and he took a pen and crossed the list a few times, such as Wei Renpu's position was transferred to the Privy Council, and Fan Zhen was promoted to a Zhongshu scholar and a knowledgeable system.

"As for those who have objections, there is a division in the Ministry of Officials, and it will be comprehensively evaluated and reviewed, and it will be agreed!" Liu Chengyou glanced at Su Fengji: "I want to create grace, but I should not abuse official positions, the country is newly established, although there is a lack of talents, but the Han Dynasty is not a person without virtue and talent!" ”

When these words fell, Su Fengji was stunned, and Yang Wei was also a little surprised, this time, Liu Chengyou's attitude turned out to be on his side. glanced at Liu Chengyou's calm face, and quickly looked away before his gaze swept to himself.

At the same time, Liu Chengyou's words are actually some high-sounding words, in the court, there are no virtues and talents and people in power positions, but there are not a lot of them!

"In addition, the things that have been added to the ......"

Liu Chengyou deliberately didn't finish his words, but Wang Zhang took it very cleverly, and said a little excitedly: "Your Majesty, now that the treasury is depleted, the mansion is empty, there is war outside, there is famine inside, and the state is still insufficient, so how can we talk about increasing it." The ministers and nobles, since they have received the grace of the great Han, should be in solidarity with the country, and understand the difficulties of national affairs. The minister thought that not only could it not be increased, but it should also be reduced to ease the pressure on the imperial court......"

In today's Han Dynasty, the problem of redundant officials is not particularly serious, but the court is poor, and what it brings is that it costs a lot of money and food to support the tired nobles.

"The minister is against!" As soon as the words fell, Su Fengji immediately jumped out: "Hundreds of officials are the wings of the country and govern the world for Your Majesty, how can they be treated harshly?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhang immediately scolded Su Fengji: "This is not a harsh treatment of the ministers, but an extraordinary policy at an extraordinary time, and the next day, the country will be rich and the treasury will be abundant, and then it will be restored." ”

"That's a big fallacy! How can the courtiers maintain food and clothing and take care of their families? Su Fengji scolded, and arched his hand to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhang's discussion will lose the heart of the ministers, and you must not ignore it!" ”

"Su Xiang has several mansions and thousands of acres of fertile land, do you still care about that little money?" Wang Zhang directly exposed Su Fengji's shortcomings.

Su Fengji's face changed greatly, and he glared at Wang Zhang viciously, wanting to be even more furious.

"That's it!" Liu Chengyou interrupted: "This matter can be discussed later......

has ended this controversy, but there is no need to think about the matter of adding to the money, as for whether it will be reduced as Wang Zhang said, this Liu Chengyou still needs to be cautious. Of course, only for courtiers and nobles, and for the forbidden army, the treatment will not be reduced at all, no matter how poor the court is.

"How are the towns?" Liu Chengyou turned to another topic.

This time, Su Yuqi presented Liu Chengyou with a recital, which basically contained all the festivals that surrendered to the Han at present. It is very neat, in addition to the previous position, and the same as the Ping Zhangshi, slightly different, it is also to add some official titles and promote titles, such as Liu Chong, Gao Xingzhou, Fu Yanqing, An Xianqi......

But in this way, the world of the Han Dynasty is probably full of ministers!

Make each other go everywhere, and the group training is not as good as a dog?
