Zhang Yuan had already said this, so he thought that he hoped that Gongsun Hong could rely on the old man to come forward and tell Liu Che for himself.

Gongsun Hong also sensed what Zhang Yuan meant, frowned, and did not open his mouth to mention this again.

"Taixue Ling, do you know that I have seen His Majesty since I entered Chang'an?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head, he thought that Gongsun Hong would go directly from his hometown to Du County, but he didn't expect Liu Che to summon this old guy.

Gongsun Hong raised his forehead and embarrassed, he thought that everyone knew about this matter, and he had thought that this Taixue Ling of himself had ignored the things outside the window, and now he seemed to be very bullish when he deliberately mentioned this matter.

"When His Majesty summoned me to the palace, he asked me about the way of heaven and man."

Zhang Yuan nodded, isn't this what Dong Zhongshu used to fool Liu Che.

"I don't know much about this, hehe, Doctor, though."

"There is nothing complicated, Your Majesty asked how to govern the country well, and I replied like this.

Appoint officials on the basis of their talents, do not listen to useless opinions, do not manufacture useless utensils, do not hinder the people's power when they take the people, those who are virtuous advance and those who are not virtuous retreat, those who have merit go up and those who have no merit go down, those who commit crimes are punished accordingly, and those who are virtuous are rewarded accordingly. Govern the people and officials with these eight rules.

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom are the way to govern the country. To conform to the way of heaven as the law. ”

After saying this, Gongsun Hong was very complacent, as if his remarks could make a complete change in the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Yuan didn't care much about it, everyone knew these truths, but now these Confucian scholars just said some truths, and they had to pull their remarks to heaven.

It's like if you do what I do, you're going with the flow, and if you don't, you're going against the sky.

"Dr. Gongsun said it well, Your Majesty must have been very excited at that time."

disdainful in his heart, but on the surface, he wants to make a good sycophant, and Zhang Yuan is still counting on Gongsun Hong to stand up for himself.

"Your Majesty was really excited at the time, and thought that my plan was very good.

Of course, this matter is not to express anything, but to let Taixue Ling know that he has the intention to reform today.

As long as you explain to Your Majesty the benefits of letting Taixue students enter the government to study in advance, Your Majesty will definitely clear the way for you in order to create a prosperous world. ”

This time it was Zhang Yuan's turn to be embarrassed, and this old fox meant it for a long time.

Anyway, he has already explored all the roads ahead, as long as Zhang Yuan walks forward, he will definitely not fall into the pit.

In the end, if there is merit, give him a share.

"Hehe, I'm no better than Dr. Gongsun, Your Majesty doesn't trust me much.

It is still Dr. Gongsun who came out once, and in the end, Dr. Gongsun must have a share of the merits of Taixue. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yuan directly made it clear what he meant, Gongsun Hong smiled instead.

"There is nothing that does not come out, we are all for the good of the big man and for the good of His Majesty.

As long as you are grateful to Your Majesty in your heart, whether you say it in Taixue Ling or in old age, the effect is the same.

As for the credit of Taixue Ling, the old man must not dare to be involved, Taixue can have the appearance it is today, in fact, it is all the work of Taixue Ling, how dare others occupy the magpie's nest? ”

Zhang Yuan almost let Gongsun Hong go without naming him, but he didn't expect this product to be stupid.

But fortunately, Zhang Yuan knew what Gongsun Hong wanted in his heart, this old guy just wanted to be an official.

"It's come to this point, I won't say so much to Dr. Gongsun anymore, as long as you can facilitate this matter, I will join forces with the servant Wei Qing to push you one step further."

Gongsun Hong's face was surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Yuan to pick things out to such an extent.

Originally, what the two of them said was that the Han was His Majesty's remarks, but now they have changed their flavor all of a sudden.

Words of loyalty have become a trade for power, and the contrast is a bit big.

However, Gongsun Hong has always implemented the concept that old age and immortality are thieves, and he quickly accepted this contrast.

"As for this, the old man is not an ignorant and corrupt person.

Can you make it clear that you are going one step forward, if it is just a thousand-stone official, then it is better to be a doctor and be at ease. ”

A little greedy.

The greedy nature of people is exposed in Gongsun Hong at the moment, everyone has desires, even if they are upright, they also have demands in their hearts.

Gongsun Hong's appeal is to be an official, why did he still study Confucian scholarship when he was nearly half a hundred years old, it was also to become an official.

There are many such people in the court today, and there is only one person that Zhang Yuan knows.

Lord Father.

This guy used to learn the art of vertical and horizontal, and in the end, because Liu Che didn't like the art of vertical and horizontal, he switched to Confucianism, in fact, these are all to cater to Liu Che's preferences in order to be an official.

"What is Dr. Gongsun thinking in his heart, you have to know that now you are the prime minister of the dynasty or the Marquis of Wu'an, you want more things, I'm afraid I can't do anything."

Gongsun Hong smiled, and the folds on his face were squeezed together.

"I won't make it difficult for Taixue Ling to be too servant.

Now that Zheng was in charge of the right internal history, isn't the position of the left internal history still vacant? ”

Originally, Zhang Yuan felt that Gongsun Hong was just a little greedy, but now it seems that he really underestimated him.

"Zuo Neshi's position is too important, I can only say that I did my best, but in the end, it really didn't work, and I don't blame me."

Gongsun Hong smiled and nodded, all he wanted was an opportunity to recommend.

Otherwise, if you stay in Taixue all the time, you may be like Hu Wusheng, who will die in Taixue and have no chance to get ahead in your life.

"That's natural, Taixue Ling should do his best, if Your Majesty doesn't follow, the old man can only give up."

"By the way, there is one more thing, if Dr. Gongsun can really serve as the Zuo Neishi, now you will be in charge of half of the Inner History Realm.

When the time comes, the cooperation between Taixue and the government can be handled together, what does Dr. Gongsun think? ”

Gongsun Hong thought about it, and then nodded quickly, anyway, now he has not become Zuo Neishi, and no one can do anything to him if he says a few empty words.

"Yes."

Zhang Yuan didn't care whether Gongsun Hong was talking empty words or not, anyway, he promised it now, and if he didn't admit it in the future, Zhang Yuan naturally had a way to make him admit today's promise.

"Well, Dr. Gongsun is also a cheerful person.

Then I will ask the people below to prepare a carriage tomorrow and send Dr. Gongsun to Chang'an Jianzhang Palace.

As long as His Majesty's will comes down, I will immediately go to Chang'an to meet Your Majesty and persuade Your Majesty to let Dr. Gongsun serve as Zuo Neishi. ”

It's just a recommendation, and it doesn't hurt Zhang Yuan.

But getting the local government to cooperate, this is the most difficult of the difficulties.

The territory of the Han Dynasty was intertwined with various forces, including kingdoms, marquises, counties, and vassal states.

The interests of all kinds of people are involved in these places, and it is difficult to intervene.
