Coming out of Fan Zhen, Li Zhongyi led Li Yunxiao and went back to the official hall that belonged to him first.

Several officials under his jurisdiction have already learned the news: Xiao Li Xianggong has returned. They cleaned the inside and outside of the official hall as early as possible, and the dust was clean, but they were afraid that Li Xiaoxianggong would not be comfortable, so they sent them, the lowly officials, to the extreme west to suffer.

A few days ago, Li Yun, the big Li Xianggong, called someone to serve tea, and a hall official who was waiting outside brewed a pot of boiling hot tea, which almost didn't burn the mouth of the big Li Xianggong.

As a result, the unlucky guy was sent to Xizhou the next day to supervise taxes. cough, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the border of Xizhou is close to the Han Kingdom in the north.

These officials in the political hall have a low status and little power, but they are in the center of the imperial court's government affairs and military affairs, and there are a lot of reliable sources of gossip.

According to the official documents from the north, the small cavalry units of the Northern Han Dynasty often slaughtered the ground in Xizhou, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil.

Li Yun offended his cousin and placed him to supervise taxes in Xizhou, and his intentions were not known, which was cold.

The officials in the political hall, although they all knew in their hearts, if they didn't have a nod from Fan Qian, no one would be able to touch them.

Everyone thinks with their toes, and they all know a simple truth, how can a small official be compared with the prime minister of the imperial empire?

That unlucky guy became a victim, which is very understandable!

When Li Zhongyi went north to the Daimyo's mansion, although his people were not in the political hall, but. A lot of secret news is pouring into my ears in a steady stream.

Despite the fact that Chai Rong is seriously ill. However, the Kaifeng State Test, which was originally scheduled to be held in the near future. Preparations are still in full swing, and the exam is about to start.

At this juncture, Li Zhongyi, the boss of Kaifeng Mansion and the natural examiner of the state exam, hehe, Wei Renpu Wei Laogong, for the sake of the future of the children in the family, even if he has any thoughts about Li Zhongyi. It must also be encompassing.

Since the first emperor ascended the throne, so far, although the Jiangnan region has not been unified into the territory of the Great Zhou, but the Central Plains has been peaceful for about ten years.

It's only been ten years, and Kaifeng City, which has experienced war, has gradually regained its former vitality, and the prosperity on the market is not blind. It's all visible.

Fight the world, rely on martial arts. To sit in the world, we must rely on Confucianism. Wei Renpu's concept comes from the history books. And deep-rooted.

Li Zhongyi, a half-military man and half-illiterate, made great achievements. The court has already shown it, unloading the mill and killing the donkey. The faint hint of the bird's bow hiding, Wei Renpu couldn't have not noticed it.

Based on temporary common interests. Wei Xianggong was considerate and caring for Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi returned from a business trip, and he did not arrange a rotation to sign the detention, he just stayed in the official hall for half an hour, then got up and went out and went back to the Kaifeng Mansion.

In the hands of the Kaifeng Mansion, although there is no forbidden army, after all, there are more than 10,000, and the soldiers who are responsible for the security of the city are much safer than the political hall where Fan Zhen covers the sky with one hand.

Liu Jinshan learned that the backer had returned, and hurriedly came to greet him, and after meeting and saluting, he whispered: "Dong Weng, the little yaman of the Kaiping County Wangfu came very early, and he has been talking with him in the government hall. ”

Li Zhongyi blinked and asked Liu Jinshan: "Do you know his intention?" ”

Li Anguo's kid, if he wants to find Li Zhongyi, he usually only goes directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but this time he found the Mansion, I'm afraid he has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, right?

Li Zhongyi knows Li Anguo's temper very well, and it is definitely not a good thing. In addition to not daring to kill people and set fires, and robbing beauties on the street, this guy has been stealing chickens and dogs, causing trouble, and all kinds of small problems have been continuous, which has made the successive prefects of Kaifeng very headaches.

"Come so early, you must not have had breakfast, hehe, good tea, good snacks are waiting." Li Zhongyi smiled and instructed Liu Jinshan.

Liu Jinshan immediately realized, his father-in-law obviously wanted to dry Li Anguo's bad embryo.

After Li Zhongyi sat down in the three halls, Liu Jinshan dealt with Li Anguo and followed.

"Dong Weng, the Kaifeng State Test has been in preparation, but it can't be delayed. Some time ago, you went as far as the Daimyo Mansion, and you were bold enough to arrange some affairs in the Gongyuan without authorization. Liu Jinshan was a little nervous, he made the decision without authorization, God knows what Li Zhongyi would think?

Unexpectedly, Li Zhongyi didn't look at the strip Chen handed over by Liu Jinshan at all, waved his hand and said: "Those who are able to work hard, and the affairs of the state test will be handed over to you." ”

Liu Jinshan was worried for several days, but what he was waiting for was this result, and he couldn't help but be on the spot.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, and said something shocking in his heart, he didn't plan to show his bottom to Liu Jinshan.

For example, Li Zhongyi has always had the idea of abolishing Confucianism. It's just that the strength is not good, and the fire has not arrived, Li Zhongyi doesn't dare to announce it.

Zulong burned books and pit Confucianism, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, and the rulers of the successive dynasties thereafter, in order to perpetuate the country for all generations, and added a lot of private goods at will in the Confucian doctrine.

Confucianism, there is essence, but also dross. Li Zhongyi did not want to, nor was he willing to completely deny Confucianism, such as the traditional virtues of gentleness, courtesy and frugality, which should not be abandoned, but must be vigorously promoted.

It's just that only allowing Confucian scholars to participate in the imperial examination, from a dialectical point of view, is obviously wrong. Therefore, Li Zhongyi plans to add his own things to the imperial examination, for example, so that engineering students (craftsmen) and businessmen who are proficient in business have the opportunity to take the exam to become officials?

Only by establishing a new system that encourages pioneering and innovation can it be possible for the whole nation not to be complacent, which led to the great tragedy of almost being exterminated by the Mongols after the death of the Song Dynasty.

The rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and the soup should be made with a fire, moisturizing things silently, which is the right way.

Li Zhongyi is still young, as long as he survives the crisis of seizing the throne after his death, the road ahead, even if it is extremely difficult, will be much easier.

The founding of this dynasty is full of calculations, but it is only ten years. The power of the warriors still occupies an absolute advantage.

The reason for the emergence of civil officials in the political hall can be in charge of the overall situation. It's just that warlords from all walks of life are unwilling to collide with Chai Rong. The formation of a short-lived balance of power.

Zhao Laoer's usurpation was so smooth and successful, in Li Zhongyi's view, he mainly took advantage of the many grievances that Wenchen had gradually accumulated by repeatedly bullying and oppressing military generals.

The martial artists who have no literary literacy have conquered the world, but they can only recite poems and lyrics. The literati who played with the pen snatched the biggest peach.

Under such a situation, coupled with the incitement and deception of Zhao Lao Er and his brothers, the result was the Chen Qiao Mutiny.

After that, it is a glass of wine to release the military power, and the Zhao family's Tianzi is more powerful than the thief. And then, hey, hey. The Han nation almost died.

Li Zhongyi actually doesn't pay attention to the so-called state exam at all, but he is now the chief examiner of the state exam. Naturally, it is impossible to criticize it openly.

Therefore, Liu Jinshan made his own decisions and arranged for someone to arrange the examination room. Li Zhongyi not only didn't feel that he had overstepped, but was relieved.

Classics such as the Four Books and the Five Classics. It's hard to understand, and there are a lot of ambiguities. Li Zhongyi neither wanted to, nor did he have the time to study and study deeply.

"Guangqing, I am busy with official business, I don't read much, and I am a typical old man. The preparation of this state test is entirely up to you. Li Zhongyi didn't mind at all, and handed over this kind of extremely faceless good thing to Liu Jinshan to do.

Liu Jinshan couldn't help but be overjoyed, the Confucian scholar Lin attached great importance to the imperial examination, and Li Zhongyi arranged for him, a judge who was not a judge to enter the imperial examination, in charge of the imperial examination, and without extremely high trust, it would never be like this.

"Thank you for your support." Liu Jinshan thought about it, how did he know that Li Zhongyi had long been tired of the imperial examination of only the four books and five classics, but because of the situation, he couldn't bear it for the time being.

Li Zhongyi sat on the kang, took off his official boots in front of Liu Jinshan, and sat cross-legged. Liu Jinshan is not humiliated, but proud, and has many years of experience as an official, telling him that the more casual your boss is with you, the closer he is to you.

On the contrary, if your boss is polite and polite to you, in fact, it means that the relationship is cold and polite.

Liu Jinshan relied on the fact that he had just won Li Zhongyi's appreciation, so he was bold, took off his official boots, and sat cross-legged opposite Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi took the tea poured by Liu Jinshan, took a sip, put it in the palm of his hand, and asked him with a smile: "What interesting things have happened recently?" ”

Liu Jinshan was waiting for this question, he sighed and said, "Dong Weng, behind closed doors, you won't have any scruples in the future." The news that His Majesty is about to die has now spread so much that almost everyone knows about it. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded, although the eunuchs in the palace have no power, but the master is dying, these eunuchs have lost their strict restraints, and their courage is getting bigger and bigger, and they dare to spread any news.

Of course, in addition to the eunuchs, the family of the ministers in the court, based on the logic of a son of heaven and a courtier, is worried about the loss of power, and some bad rumors are also inevitable.

Li Zhongyi thought about it, and didn't ask what rumors were circulating in the market, he instructed: "Guangqing, you arrange to go down and arrest a few Diao people who openly spread rumors and make trouble, beat a few boards, put them in prison, and don't let them out for the time being." ”

Although Liu Jinshan is not an official of the imperial examination, he also has a deep-rooted idea of being an official Laozi, and the concept of taking officials as teachers has penetrated into his bone marrow.

Therefore, Liu Jinshan listened to Li Zhongyi's hints, but did not understand, and subconsciously asked: "Dong Weng, what do you mean, only how many boards do you play?" ”

Li Zhongyi smiled dumbly, a little suddenly, in these years, the government will definitely not be soft on Diao Min for telling the "truth" he has heard. Not to mention only a few boards, it is also common to make a big crime casually and cut off Diao Min's head.

Just before Li Zhongyi took office in Kaifeng Mansion, there were a few Diao people, who were shackled by dozens of catties and killed alive.

The people's hearts are like iron, the official law is like a furnace, and if the government wants to rectify the disobedient people, there are many unsightly means.

From Li Zhongyi's point of view, although he didn't want to deliberately kill Diao Min who was talking nonsense, he was also a butt who decided his head, and he had to act like a guy because of Fan Zhen's greetings.

"Well, spanking, telling them to keep their mouths shut. Then, they were thrown into prison and suffered, but they could not teach them to die. Let these Diao people know that talking and spreading rumors is a godsend, and it is actually not a bad thing. ”

The truth that comes from the mouth has been the truth since ancient times, and those with big mouths will be struck by lightning sooner or later! (To be continued......)
