Hearing the order of the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang led the ministers to bow down and replied, "Oh"

After Liu Xun saw Huo Guang and the others sit down again, he spoke again: "In the recital sent by Zhang Anshi, the general of the chariot cavalry, he told what Gu Liang's students did in Hexi, and how did Zhu Qing think it should be solved!" ”

Huo Guang heard the inquiry of the Son of Heaven, and mentally calculated that the Guliang faction has always advocated the word "present" from ancient times to the present.

Confucius advocated etiquette and "benevolence", Lao Tzu advocated "rule by inaction", and Han Feizi advocated "legal system", which are not as important as etiquette in the hearts of Guliang students.

"Filial piety promotes the beauty of his father, not the evil of his father." "For the father of the son, for the prince of the king, has abolished the family and forgotten the father, in order to do a small favor, said the small way." This is also the favorite place of big landlords and big tycoons, but it is a great threat to the central government.

"Relatives and relatives hide each other, and officials protect each other!"

Once the Guliang school grows up, it will lead to landlords everywhere devouring the land without limit, colluding with local officials, and the peasants will either be committed to slavery or become landless vagrants, and this situation will occur in the entire Qingxuyang Prefecture.

The Guliang school emphasizes the education of etiquette and music, and advocates the rule of benevolence and virtue.

But where does benevolence come from?

In Huo Guang's eyes, benevolence is that every ordinary person has enough to eat. It's not the disease-free moaning of the moral gentlemen every day, it's not their ups and downs. It is not based on the word benevolence and virtue, and it is not as good as pigs and dogs.

When the people do not have enough to eat and do not have enough clothes, it is shameless to ask them to have high moral standards.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang got up and bowed to the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Guliang School endangers the entire Han Society, and the people and gods are angry, so they must not go unpunished!" Moreover, the changes of the people of Qingxu and Yang Sanzhou are inseparable from them! ”

The ministers saw Huo Guang's statement, and suddenly quieted down, everyone is not unaware of the entanglement between the Son of Heaven and the Guliang faction, although it is Prime Minister Huo Guang who is in power now, but sooner or later the power will return to the hands of the Son of Heaven, there is no need to offend the Son of Heaven in such a trivial matter, it is better to wait and see what happens, and see the attitude of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Xun looked approvingly at the powerful minister in front of him, Huo Guang was in power, domineering and ruthless, but you can't deny that his eyes were very vicious, and he saw the root of the problem at a glance.

The social system of the big clans that the Guliang faction has been pursuing is very harmful to the entire regime. It can even be said that Wang Mang replaced the Han Dynasty, which is the result of their growth, the landlord became a big landlord, not a change in adjectives, how many peasants were homeless, and how many sold their sons and daughters.

Therefore, the Guliang faction must be eliminated, but Liu Xun himself can't be infamous yet, it is best to find a scapegoat, since Huo Guang has already expressed his position and has not concealed his attitude, it is best to go with the flow.

Is it dirty?

Politics is dirty, and politics is the power struggle of human nature, which is the ultimate expression. To a certain extent, politics is free from right or wrong, good or bad, and there are many cunning and cunning people. Politicians are the most perfect actors, and the selfless, honest and honest appearance of politicians in the face of the public is the time of power struggle, assassination, and power and profit. All struggles for power are bound to be dirty, as Machiavelli said is exemplified by the unscrupulous means to the end. The essential desire of human beings is to compete for power and money, so there is no need to outline it, this is desire. Squalor is just a microcosm, and anything that sticks together with politics becomes like a spoiled, moldy cake.

Disgusting, but no less desirable.

Liu Xun pretended to be expressionless and said: "Prime Minister's words, Lao Cheng seeks the country, the Guliang faction is extremely evil, and it cannot be punished, Zhang Yuan and others will be tried publicly, and then promulgated the world, so that the people of the world will know their crimes, and then order the township schools in the world to remove all the books of the Guliang faction, and this year's examination will not recruit any Guliang faction students, depose Dr. Gu Liang, and all the Guliang students and officials in the world will be dismissed!" Does the Prime Minister think this is okay? ”

When Huo Guang heard the words of the Son of Heaven, he immediately frowned, he wanted to punish Gu Liang, but he didn't expect that the Son of Heaven wanted to kill Gu Liang, but looking at the words of the Son of Heaven just now, it would make the people of the world feel that he reluctantly agreed under his own coercion.

The final counterattack of the Gu Liang faction will definitely fall on him, which is really a good means.

But the arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent, the Son of Heaven must answer his own questions, and this matter is proposed to punish Gu Liang, and it is not easy to object now.

Huo Guang got up unhurriedly, told the Son of Heaven that he knew his wishful thinking with slow movements, and at the same time vented his dissatisfaction and said: "Your Majesty sees thousands of miles, but the ministers can't turn a blind eye, and the ministers will obey their will!" ”

Looking at Huo Guang's answer, Liu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, what Liu Xun was most afraid of was that Huo Guang would not enter the trap and would not help him bear the backlash of the Guliang faction, and now that he saw Huo Guang taking the call, he put his heart in his stomach.

After beating a stick, then you must give a sweet date, Liu Xun continued: "I mentioned the examination just now, the examination is a big matter, I decided to allocate the examination to Taichang, and the next three years will be an examination, presided over by the prime minister, and it will be implemented too often, and it will be set as the eternal calendar, and in the middle of next month, the Queen Mother will be the time for the previous examinations!" What do you think? ”

It was a matter of filial piety, and the ministers did not dare to hesitate, so they immediately got up and said: "The ministers receive their orders!" ”

Liu Xun nodded with satisfaction and motioned for the ministers to sit down. After that, he continued: "The positions of the Imperial Doctor, the Imperial History Zhongcheng, the Imperial Captain, the Guard Captain, the Zhijinwu, the Guangluxun and other positions have been vacant for a long time, and the Han family is about to enter an eventful autumn, and the government affairs are busy, these positions cannot be vacant, and the candidates must be determined today!" What do the prime minister and Jiuqing propose? ”

Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, everyone's hearts were tight, and the positions mentioned were the top positions in the pyramid of power in the Han Dynasty, especially the Imperial Doctor.

The Imperial Historian mainly exercises the functions and powers of the deputy prime minister, is the assistant to the prime minister, and supervises all the administrative activities of the ministers including the prime minister.

There are two princes under the imperial historian, one is called Zhongcheng, in the hall of Lantai, as the minister of the inner court, directly obeying the orders of the Son of Heaven, and paying equal attention to the order of Shangshu.

The outer capital supervises the imperial history, the inner leader serves the imperial history, and there are a total of fifteen people serving the imperial history, supervising the Quartet for the Son of Heaven.

And the guard and the ruling Jinwu are also high powers, the Han, the palace guards are Lang Wei and Bing Wei. Guangluxun led the Lang officer as the Lang guard, and the guard captain led the guard as the guard.

The department of the guard is called the Southern Army. The palace is set up to station guards, and the guards patrol the police day and night, and check the door registration. The main palace gate and the palace of the guard are the inside and outside the main palace. The emperor of the Han Dynasty lived in Weiyang Palace, and it was the duty of the guard to guard the Weiyang Palace, so it was sometimes called Weiyang Weiwei.

The candidate for the previous guard captain was not vacant, and it was appointed by Huo Yu, but it was also temporarily appointed because of the death of the first emperor. Now that Huo Yu has taken up the post of Taichang, Wei Wei is naturally vacant.............
