Early in the morning of the next day, Gongsun Hong got into the carriage arranged by Zhang Yuan and went to Jianzhang Palace in Chang'an City.

Zhang Yuan is full of expectations and hopes that Gongsun Hong can complete this important task, in fact, it is for the sake of the Han and the public, but Zhang Yuan still has a trace of selfishness in his heart.

A group of Taixue students who are already familiar with the Han bureaucratic system, Liu Che will not let these talents drain no matter what.

After Gongsun Hong arrived at Jianzhang Palace, he waited at Jinmamen and waited until the end of the court meeting before entering the palace to meet Liu Che.

At the moment, Gongsun Hong is just a doctor, and it is much more difficult to see Liu Che than Zhang Yuan imagined.

After several interrogations, the Huangmen squire sent the news of Gongsun Hong's arrival in the palace to Liu Che.

"Isn't this old guy studying too much, why did he suddenly come to Chang'an?"

The Yellow Gate Squire shook his head and said.

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't know why, Dr. Gongsun just said that he had something important to see you.

But the servant thought that Dr. Yijie could have something important, so he waited outside the palace, and if His Majesty did not want to see him, the servant would send him away. ”

"How can you argue with the ministers of the DPRK and China, invite Gongsun Hong in."

Liu Che scolded this Huangmen squire, so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly retreated to summon Gongsun Hong into the palace.

Gongsun Hong is already old, and his pace is relatively slow, and he walked from the door of the main hall to the center of the hall for a full cup of tea.

Liu Che frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"The old minister Gongsun Hong greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

"Dr. Gongsun has time to come to Jianzhang Palace today, is there anything important to report to me?"

"The minister has a matter that he can't understand, and he has come to Jianzhang Palace to ask His Majesty."

"Oh? You are a doctor, the most learned man in the Han Dynasty, how can you have a question for me? ”

"This matter is related to the people of the community, and it is not known to the ministers and Confucian scholars."

"Then Dr. Gongsun, please talk about it and see if I can answer your questions."

"The old minister thanked Your Majesty.

The minister is in Taixue today, and I often hear students talk about His Majesty.

said that His Majesty was a holy king, and the minister thought so in his heart, but after thinking about the situation of the Great Han, he had doubts in his heart.

Since Your Majesty is the King of Wisdom, why is it not a peaceful and prosperous world now?

Could it be that Your Majesty is inferior to those holy monarchs?

In the heart of the old minister, His Majesty is more virtuous than Yao Shun and King Zhou Cheng, so when he thinks about it, the minister finds that it is not His Majesty's fault that today's non-prosperous era is not his own.

Today, I just want to ask Your Majesty, who is hindering the advent of the prosperous world? ”

Gongsun Hong asked Liu Che some more questions about what he said to Zhang Yuan yesterday, and his face was puzzled, and his head was full of question marks.

Zhang Yuan is fortunately not here, otherwise he must be thinking about how all the actors around him are some drama spirits.

Liu Che listened to Gongsun Hong's words, and his face no longer had the relaxed appearance just now, and he was very dignified.

Gongsun Hong's remarks obviously pierced the sore spot in his heart.

Now the situation of the Han Dynasty is all left over from the two emperors of Wenjing, and even most of the ministers are like this, and it doesn't have much to do with Liu Che, so maybe it will be better if another emperor does nothing.

It can be said that Liu Che has not opened up a new situation, and is still eating the old book, proud as he can endure these things?

"Dr. Gongsun must already have the answer in his heart, why do you have to ask me more?"

Seeing that Liu Che didn't eat this, Gongsun Hong suddenly raised his voice a lot.

"Why does Your Majesty value us Confucianism? Don't you just want to put aside the original decay and solidification of the Han Dynasty?

Huang Lao's technique has long been unworkable, but most of the officials still occupy the place and do not do things.

Think about it, in the past few years, have they only done things after you issued an edict?

In the locust plague a few years ago, the local government only knew that the news was transmitted to Chang'an, and then it did not care whether the people lived or died.

After months of delay, tens of thousands of people starved to death.

The same was true of the Yellow River breach last year, and if the Taishou of Dongjun had organized manpower locally at the beginning to stop the flood in a county, there would not have been such a big disaster.

These are not the responsibilities of His Majesty, but of those officials. ”

Liu Che's brows were already squeezed together, thinking to himself what this old man was trying to say after saying so much.

Balabala for a long time, don't you know these things in your heart as an emperor, but those who are officials don't make mistakes, can you pull down those old ministers of the three dynasties and the old ministers of the two dynasties from their positions, it is obviously impossible.

Gongsun Hong saw that Liu Che was a little impatient, paused and continued.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been thinking about it so far, and thinks that we can't go on like this.

Your Majesty, please also think about how many people are officials and officials every year now, and these are all young people.

Let these young people always follow some old people who are in the twilight to learn how to administer and how to be officials, isn't that the way it is now?

We have to let these young people who have just entered the officialdom know that it is not merit to be an official and not to make mistakes, and it is a big crime to not develop under the rule. ”

The current situation is indeed very different from what Gongsun Hong said, and even Liu Che subconsciously thinks that as long as there is no major mistake in office, it is a merit.

Earlier, Ji Huang was the Taishou of one county, and there was no accident in that county for a few years, but there was no development.

In the future, such a person is a mediocre and incompetent person, but in the current context, Ji Di was actually rated as a well-governed and capable minister.

Gongsun Hong directly pointed out this point, which made Liu Che shaken even more than what he said before.

"Before Dr. Gongsun said that I was stronger than King Zhou Cheng, but the Han under his rule was not as prosperous as the Great Zhou.

And then you said that the current officials are not good, could it be that Dr. Gongsun compared himself to the Duke of Zhou?

Think that as long as I let you assist, the Han will definitely be able to reproduce the glory of the prosperous era? ”

Gongsun Hong almost couldn't hold back and nodded directly and said that he was the reincarnation of Zhou Gong, but he still knew Liu Che better, so he didn't nod his head.

"The minister is naturally not as good as Zhou Gong, but His Majesty is far superior to King Zhou Cheng.

It is not that today's officials are incapacitated, but that their minds are imprisoned, they are unwilling to do anything to improve the situation, and they are afraid to bear the consequences of the failure of reform.

Qin has Shang martingale, and Han has chao mistakes.

Of course, the first emperor was not at fault, and it was the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu that were at fault.

If Your Majesty has the heart to create a prosperous world, you should not be trapped by corrupt thoughts. ”

"Tell me, what can you do to change that?

Naturally, I want to change, but it's not a day's work. ”

"The minister has been teaching in Taixue for several months, and he feels that it is not easy for Taixue students, and he doesn't want them to become corrupt people like the old minister just said.

Only then did we come up with a way, as long as the students of Taixue first went to the government to learn how to be officials within the three years of Taixue study, and then when they returned to Taixue, we could point out the dross in it, and if there was no change, we would be encouraged.

Let the students understand what it means to change, what it means to do things for the Han and do things for His Majesty.

In addition, these officials today are controlled by many families, and it is said that they are His Majesty's courtiers, but they are actually those noble retainers.

If Taixue students do not go through this training, Taixue students will only become the object of competition among the nobles in the future, and it will be difficult for His Majesty to intervene in it. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Che was slightly moved.

He is most concerned about this, he wants to cultivate talents that belong directly to him, not other people's retainers.

Why have generations of Han emperors always wanted to win over the Pingyang Marquis Mansion by marriage?

Isn't it still because of the power of the Pingyang Hou Mansion and the Cao family, in the past 100 years, nearly 10,000 people have served as officials in the Han Dynasty.

Some people change their surnames and become officials in other capacities, but they are still loyal to the Cao family in their bones.

Some people don't seem to be members of the Cao family, but their grandparents and grandchildren have served in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion for several generations.

All kinds of personal relationships, even today's Pingyang Hou Cao Shi can't figure it out.

If there is no Tui En Order, it is estimated that the Cao family will continue to grow until one day when the power is greater than that of the royal family, and it will set off a storm in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

"You came up with the idea?"

Gongsun Hong's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.

"It was the old minister who came up with it."

"Then why didn't you inform Taixue Ling Zhang Yuan first?"

"Chen thought that Taixue Ling has always been a matter of concern to himself, even if this matter has something to do with Taixue students, but it involves all kinds of complex factors in the outside world, Taixue Ling should not think of interfering.

In order to avoid stillbirth in this plan, the old minister dared to come to Chang'an to meet His Majesty. ”

Liu Che nodded, Zhang Yuan's impression in his mind was indeed like this, every time he had to push forward, Zhang Yuan would take a step forward.

"You're right, if Taixue Ling knew, he might really think it was troublesome and refused.

In this case, it is up to you to take care of this matter, first see the effect, and if it is really feasible, then promote it with all your might.

If there are not enough students in one place, the official schools in various counties and counties can also do the same. ”

"The old minister thanked His Majesty for his trust, but now the old minister is just a doctor, and I am afraid that he will not be able to interfere with the internal affairs of Taixue.

Moreover, even if there is an order from His Majesty and Taixue orders are accepted, this matter will have to deal with local governments.

If it only involves one county and one county, it is better to say, but there are many places involved, and the ministers are afraid that those officials will interfere arbitrarily.

After all, the matter is not good for them. ”

"Then what should you do, as long as you can get things done, I will fully support you."

"The old minister wants to recommend himself, and now there is a vacancy in the left internal history, if the minister is the left internal history, many officials in the internal history can listen to the orders of the ministers.

Taixue is already in the realm of internal history, so the exchanges between the two sides will be more in-depth and frequent. ”

The face of the Huangmen squire, who had been listening, changed, but he didn't expect this seemingly loyal and honest old man to have such a big appetite.

Liu Che's face didn't change much, but he felt that Gongsun Hong had finally said what he wanted.

As long as he doesn't want the throne, he doesn't care what the people below ask for.

Because if he can give it away, he can take it back, and he is afraid of those who have nothing to ask for on the surface.

Liu Che was also frightened by the previous Zhang Yuan.

asked Zhang Yuan what he wanted, and Zhang Yuan said, I want to resign and go home.

If everyone is like this, what else will the emperor do.

"Okay, I didn't expect Dr. Gongsun to be so old and have such a heart, he is really old and strong.

Proposed to promote the "Spring and Autumn" doctor Gongsun Hong to the left internal history. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that he got his wish, Gongsun Hong knelt down directly, his eyes were red, and he even shed a few tears.

Liu Che is right, there are not many people who can still get ahead at his age.

Gongsun Hong can also be regarded as a person who has gone through four dynasties, and he was a small official when he was young earlier, and this is the second time he has been a doctor.

There is no background in the family, and if it is someone else, it will definitely be ordinary, but now when Gongsun Hong is approaching the age of ancient rarity, he has jumped a few levels in a row, how can he not feel emotion in his heart.

"I give Zuo Neishi three days to deal with the affairs of Taixue and handle this matter as soon as possible.

I am going to draft an edict, you directly bring the edict back to Taixue Ling, and I think Taixue Ling will definitely cooperate with you to handle this matter. ”

Gongsun Hong hurriedly agreed, but his heart was happy.

Thinking that Zhang Yuan was still too young, such a big credit was directly given to himself.

After getting the edict, Gongsun Hong took the carriage prepared for him by Zhang Yuan and returned to Du County.

Zhang Yuan waited in Taixue for a day, and Gongsun Hong did not live up to Zhang Yuan's trust and directly brought back Liu Che's edict.

"Taixue Ling, this is His Majesty's edict, with this edict here, you can do your own business."

Zhang Yuan smiled and took the edict from Gongsun Hong's hand, although Liu Che had also verbally promised before, saying that all matters in Taixue would be handed over to Zhang Yuan to deal with, but as soon as it was involved, Zhang Yuan was powerless.

"Dr. Gongsun really thanked you this time, I will go to Chang'an tomorrow to join hands with the servant to obtain a Zuo Nei Shi for Dr. Gongsun."

Gongsun Hong's heart blossomed, but his face was very calm, and he sighed and said to Zhang Yuan.

"There's no need to bother with this matter.

Today, as soon as I talked about the method of the Taixue Order, His Majesty immediately thought of having someone to cooperate with the Taixue Order.

He directly promised me the position of Zuo Neishi, and I think I would like to thank Taixue Ling.

If it weren't for you, there would be no way for the old man to gain His Majesty's trust, and I only hope that in the future, Taixue Ling can fully cooperate with me to make Taixue students more excellent, which can be regarded as living up to His Majesty's trust. ”

If you want to ask Zhang Yuan what kind of mood he is in now, his mood must be extremely complicated and uncomfortable.

The complexity is complicated by the fact that Gongsun Hong has done the thing, but there is no need to think about it, he must have robbed the credit.

But soon Zhang Yuan was relieved, this old man did this very well, at least attracting all the attention of the outside world to him.

Once this plan is implemented, it is not the interests of one or two people that will be moved.

Liu Che agreed so quickly, Zhang Yuan also thought of the key.

He just wanted the Taixue students to test the water and see the reactions of these nobles of the Great Han, if there was no reaction, the next step would be to push the grace order.

If the reaction is huge, and there is Gongsun Hong, who is behind the blame, some Taixue students are not very important.
