"Everyone, please wait here, in a moment, Your Majesty will come and receive you one by one!" A eunuch led Xiao Wangzhi and the others to a palace, where he retired after giving an order.

After entering the hall, Xiao Wangzhi found that there was already a person waiting here.

"In Xia Zhang Ye, I have seen you all enter together......" This person saw Xiao Wangzhi and others coming in, and immediately got up and hugged his fists to introduce himself

"Zunjia is the grandson of the late court captain Zhang Gong?" Someone suddenly asked.

Zhang Ye was surprised, because he liked arithmetic and medicine since he was a child, Zhang Ye studied in Guanzhong and Guanxi all the year round, and there were very few nobles who knew that there was such a person as him, plus his own family Taoism had long declined, and there was no difference between ordinary people.

Zhang Ye looked over and saw that the man showed a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled at him, "I have seen the world brother in Xia Gu Qing......

Seeing that Zhang Ye was puzzled, he introduced himself and said, "My father once worshipped with Ling Zun in the past under the door of Xu Gong's predecessors and learned what Huang Laozhi said......"

As soon as he said this, he immediately made Zhou Lukan's face full of spring breeze, the two fathers had the friendship of the same family, and now they are ministers in the same palace, what a natural ally!

So, the others also informed each other of their names and family backgrounds, and then they each found a place to sit down, waiting for Liu Xun's summons with peace of mind.

It's just that the seats they are looking for are quite interesting.

Xiao Wangzhi, Gu Qing, Zhou Lukan, Wu Lu, and others sat together unconsciously like magnets.

And Yang Shen, Zhang Yu and other scholars from the poor family sat on the other side very consciously.

Class is like an invisible river that divides these twelve into two factions.

Liu Xun stood in front of the small window at the door, looked at it, and did not speak.

This is just the beginning, and in the future, political opinions, schools of thought, ideas, and interests will completely disrupt the current pattern of these people, and they will naturally be divided into small hills.

In this regard, Liu Xun did not want to stop it at all.

Healthy competition within helps to improve work efficiency.

As a superior person, he only needs to control and strictly prohibit malicious attacks and tilting against each other.

At the same time, he also wanted to take these twelve people to practice his hands and see how his wrists and abilities were.

If he couldn't even settle these twelve people, he felt that he could wash and sleep, and don't think about being a son of heaven or an emperor.

"Summon......" Liu Xun instructed Huang Xie.

"Who's going to pass it on first?" Huang Xie asked.

"Let's start with the first place...... Liu Xun waved his hand. Then he walked forward and prepared to receive him.

…………………………………………

Xiao Wangzhi was led by a eunuch and walked to the front of a large hall.

"Your Majesty is waiting for Mr. here......" The eunuch helped Xiao Wangzhi open the door and explained, "The slave can only accompany you here......"

"It's hard work...... Xiao Wangzhi bowed slightly, and then walked into the main hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xiao Wangzhi found that the spacious hall was empty, only at the top of the hall, there was a young man wearing a crown symbolizing the identity of the prince.

This young majesty, about eighteen or nineteen years old, although immature, was in good spirits, and looked quite heroic.

"Minister Xiao Wangzhi greets Your Majesty......" Xiao Wangzhi hurriedly bowed.

"Sir, please get up ......" Liu Xun got up and smiled slightly, and asked, "Mr. Xiao is still used to it in Chang'an?" ”

"With the care of His Majesty, the ministers are still used to ......," Xiao Wangzhi said again.

"I heard that Mr. Ancestor's ancestor is Xiao He...... "Liu asked, "Respect and faithfulness, can the Sir's family still uphold the four words?" ”

This allusion comes from that year, Yan Hui was going to study abroad, before leaving, he asked Confucius, what should be used as a criterion to demand himself, Confucius gave Yan Hui the words "respectful and faithful", Xiao He saw this allusion in the book, and also took this as a family motto. Liu Xun naturally knows this allusion.

"Back to Your Majesty, what the ancestors taught, the minister's family up and down, the ancestors from generation to generation, dare not forget one day or another!" Xiao Wangzhi was grateful, this was the proudest thing in his childhood education, and it was also his honor.

"So good! , the Xiao family is my Liu family's minister, sharing honor and disgrace! Liu Xun smiled slightly, stepped down from his seat, and bowed to Xiao Wangzhi with an official warrant, "My Han family has always respected respectful and faithful people, I would like to worship Mr. as a servant of the imperial history, and I hope that Mr. will do his best to assist, mention, check and fill in the omissions!" ”

After speaking, Liu Xun bowed deeply to Xiao Wangzhi.

This made Xiao Wangzhi very moved, and he hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "Your Majesty, please hurry up, the minister can't be so hopeful of Your Majesty!" ”

Han tradition, more than 2,000 stones, the king must worship it.

The general and prime minister should be solemn and worship on stage.

This is because the emperor of the Han family knows the importance of ministers with more than 2,000 stones, not to mention Jiuqing, it is a county guard, which is also the heavy responsibility of holding the livelihood of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in a county, not to mention the general and prime minister who have to bear the future of the military country and the safety of the society.

It's just that Liu Xun is so solemn that he wants to worship a small person like Xiao Wangzhi to be a small servant of the imperial history, which makes Xiao Wangzhi have a feeling of being valued and concerned.

What the literati need is such spiritual food.

So Xiao Wangzhi kowtowed and said, "That is, it is valued by Your Majesty, and the ministers should do their best to live up to Your Majesty's hope!" ”

Liu Xun listened, stood up, solemnly handed over the official position representing the identity of the imperial history to Xiao Wangzhi, and said in a deep voice, "Serving the imperial history, prestige, check my gains and losses, see that I missed, be cautious at four o'clock, you will be sealed today, you should remember to remember!" ”

"No!" Xiao Wangzhi bowed deeply, and was already in tears of gratitude, only to feel that he had finally met the master, and he didn't know what it was like for a while, "The minister should remember His Majesty's teachings, and he will not dare to live up to the trust!" ”

Then, as if he were a priceless treasure, he gently took the order of the imperial history into his arms.

"Let's go down...... Liu Xun looked at Xiao Wangzhi with an encouraging look and said, "Shangshu Ling Han Zeng."

With the demeanor of an ancient gentleman, Qing first studied by Han Qing's side, and the next day, I still have a heavy responsibility entrusted to Qing! ”

"No!" Xiao Wangzhi bowed deeply, and then bowed out of the hall.

Liu Xun waited for Xiao Wangyi to leave, but wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It's so tiring to talk to a gentleman!

Fortunately, the next person will be able to deal with it!

"Summons Zhang Ye!" Liu Xun instructed Huang Xie who was standing at the door.

The gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit.

Zhang Ye should be very easy to buy

"Junior minister Zhang Ye to meet Your Majesty......" Zhang Ye cautiously walked to the hall to worship.

"Raise your head......," Liu Xun said softly.

Zhang Ye looked up cautiously, and Liu Xun saw that this person did have the image of a tiger and a wolf, which reminded Liu Xun of some gangsters he had seen wandering outside his school a long time ago when he was still a student.

It is said that each other is born from the heart, although this is outrageous, but it is indeed qualified in Zhang Ye.

In Liu Xun's previous life, Zhang Ye could be described as a powerful world, taking over the banners of Zhidu, Ning Cheng and other predecessors, and obeying the lessons of the princes of Chang'an City, no one dared to make a mistake.

This speaks volumes about his abilities.

However, unlike Zhidu, Zhidu is honest and honest, while Zhang Ye is insatiable.

His greed barely ends.

And it's surprising how bold it is.

Liu Xun had even heard that he actually dared to blackmail the liehou!

From the bottom of his heart, Liu Xun doesn't like Zhang Ye at all, and it can even be said that he hates people like Zhang Ye.

But people like Zhang Ye have no fear in their hearts.

As long as there are enough benefits, he can do anything, but no one doubts his loyalty to Emperor Xuan of Han.

No ruler would like such a minister very much, and even kill one if he finds one!

However, who has not had a few ruffians and hooligans under his hands who have become great things since ancient times?

Wicked people must have wicked people to grind, some things, a gentleman like Xiao Wangzhi, a generous honest man like Han Zeng, there is really no way to deal with it.

Even the compassionate monks of later generations know to cultivate the angry eye King Kong, as a king, there are not a few mad dogs under his hands, and he has no face to see people when he goes out!

"Qing is from Hedong?" Liu Xun asked as he flipped through Zhou Lukan's resume.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes!" Zhang Ye replied cautiously, although he had already asked Huo Shan about Liu Xun's preferences before coming, he didn't dare to be careless if he had personally contacted it.

"Hedong is a good place...... Liu Xun said with a smile, "Since ancient times, there have been many outstanding talents!" ”

"Which of the Legalists is Qing studying?" Liu Xun asked suddenly. At this time, the Legalists were divided into three hills, cautious to the heavy situation, Shen did not harm the heavy technique, and Han Fei emphasized the law, each with its own strengths.

"Back to Your Majesty, what the minister has learned is the study of Shen Gong, mixed with the political ...... of the ruler of the business," Zhang Ye replied.

"Oh......" Liu Xun nodded, this is right, Shen Buxian's knowledge has an Achilles' heel, that is, overemphasizing the importance of art, to put it simply, it is unscrupulous means to achieve the goal.

"If one day, a certain county clan is rampant, and two thousand stones cannot be systematized, if the Qing is used, how can the Qing be the government?" Liu Xun threw out a big pie and tempted, ostensibly asking Zhou Lukan how to deal with it, but in fact he was hinting that Zhou Lukan could make him a county guard in the future.

Zhang Ye's family has been an official for generations, and his grandfather is the famous Zhang Shizhi, so he naturally has the ability to observe words and colors and the ability to figure out words.

Listening to Liu Xun's words, Zhou Lukan was overjoyed.

He thought for a while, and said, "If the minister is in charge, he will divide it first, and if he has no repentance, he will only kill him!" ”

That's where his cleverness comes in.

Liu Xun first asked his school, and then asked his teacher, if he still answered benevolence or something, it would be a liar.

What's more, this is indeed a simple, crude, convenient and effective way for the ministers of the current Legalist family to govern the locality.

What should I do if the landlords are too powerful, control the local discourse, and the government decree cannot be passed? Kill!

The clan is strong and domineering, what should I do? Kill!

What should I do if the aristocracy is arrogant and violates the law of the country? Or kill!

One of the famous ministers of Emperor Xiaojing, the Shouzhidu of Hedong County, who presided over Hedong County, is an outstanding representative of it.

Since he took charge of Hedong, he has killed more than 100 heroes, and the place is silent, and in Hedong, his name can even stop children crying at night.

And what Liu Xun needs is such an answer.

Clans and heroes are always the heart disease of kings, and if you want to centralize power, you have to cut down those intertwined clan forces.

The Han land is so big, there will always be a place where ordinary officials are helpless to do anything, and at this time, it is time to release people like Zhang Ye to overcome obstacles and kill.

"First ask Qing to be my secretary of the imperial history, and then confer the official position on another day!" Liu Xun arched his hand to Zhang Ye and said.

For Liu Xun, the biggest use of Zhang Ye's sharp knife at present is the upcoming tax reform.

If you don't kill a river of blood, those grain merchants can't be honest!

As he spoke, he took out a piece of warrant, solemnly handed it to Zhang Ye, and instructed, "Beware of arrogance and dryness, be honest and honest, and remember to remember!" ”

"No!" Zhang Ye bowed, and then retreated.

Next, it's Zhang Yu and Yang Shen, there's nothing to say.

It is nothing more than a copy of Xiao Wangzhi's set, Liu Xun also appointed him as a scholar and sent it to Han Zeng to help assist Han Zeng in handling affairs and sorting out official documents.

Inexperienced people like Zhang Yu and Yang Shen can only exert their greatest effect under the hands of assertive and determined talents like Han Zeng.

Then there are Gu Qing and Wu Lu, both of whom are after the Marquis of Che, with prominent family backgrounds, and have made some achievements in their previous lives, Liu Xun thought about it again and again, and assigned these two people to Hu Jian, so that they could assist Hu Jian in restraining and managing the rangers of Chang'an and forming a good family, on the one hand, they exercised their abilities, and on the other hand, their aristocratic status helped Hu Jian to better deal with the nobles of Chang'an

Imagine the Chinese network

Road.

"The next one is Zhou Lukan, right?" Liu asked Huang Xie.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes!" Huang Xie replied.

"Hmm!" Liu Xun nodded Not long after, Zhou Lukan, under the leadership of the eunuch, walked in, bowed to Liu Xun, and said, "Minister Zhou Lukan, meet Your Majesty!" ”

"Qing, please get up ......" Liu Xun sat on the seat, flipped through the articles and test papers written by Zhou Lukan, looked at them, and asked, "Qing has crossed Zhongshan from Linzi and traveled all over Yanzhao, how do you feel?" ”

Zhou Lukan thought about it, and combined with some of the situation about Liu Xun that he had explored before, he boldly said, "The rivers and mountains are magnificent, the mountains and rivers are splendid, and the ministers are intoxicated, however, the princes are domineering, rampant and lawless, encroaching on local people's land, bullying the weak, and things happen from time to time, and in the long run, the ministers are afraid that the country will not be a country, and the society is in danger of overturning...... "Anyway, Zhongshan, Yan Zhao and other princes and kings have never given him half a benefit, and even humiliated him, seize the opportunity, Zhou Lukan immediately retaliated.

"How dare you say it!" Liu Xun laughed, the people of the Zongheng faction just like to say these ways, Fan Sui, Zhang Yi, Su Qin, all of them.

"The affairs of the princes, don't show ...... for the time being" Liu Xun waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Lukan's intention to continue talking, Liu Xun knew very well that it was not his turn to worry about the affairs of the princes now, let alone Zhou Lukan's turn to discuss.

He stood up, walked to Zhou Lukan's side, and said, "Qing's arithmetic is good, and the logical thinking of the articles written is also quite innovative. ”

said that he was a waiter at the Yellow Gate, but in fact he was just a squire with the name of a waiter, and he had no power or anything, but he had a lot of work, especially, in order to prepare for the upcoming autumn harvest, Liu Xun planned to rectify the order and commerce of Chang'an City, the nine cities, on the one hand, to make some money, and on the other hand, to make some political achievements, otherwise, others would think that he was just a mouth cannon.

And where do the achievements come from?

There is only one answer, taxes!

Snatching money from a businessman is tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger.

What's more, Liu Xun's plan is not only as simple as grabbing money, but also about raising taxes.

In short, his plan is to fight monopolies and support small and medium-sized enterprises in eight words.

If he wants to do this well before the autumn harvest and do it beautifully, Liu Xun must use all his strength and means.

And Zhou Lukan's position is particularly important.

When Zhou Lukan heard this, he immediately bowed deeply, "The minister is willing to die for His Majesty!" ”

Well? When Liu Xun heard this, he was suddenly a little relieved in his heart, and said, "I am grateful if I understand it, and I value you in vain......

In the previous life, among the ministers of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Lukan could still be after Shi Gao, which shows that Zhou Lukan is very capable.

Before Zhou Lukan, everyone else was just serving, but Zhou Lukan said that he was dead, and it was obvious that Zhou Lukan's current loyalty value was the highest.

Since this is the case, Liu Xun will inevitably be beaten.

He took out the bamboo slip that Han Zeng gave him from his arms, handed it to Zhou Lukan, and said, "Uncle Fan can beat Xu Jia because he is the prime minister, Qing thinks, is Qing the prime minister now?" ”

"Qing's talent, I value it a lot, but this childish problem should be corrected!" Liu Xun said with a smile, this week Lukan is indeed a little naïve, there are some things you can't do quietly, you have to say it openly, this is like the villain of the TV series, you must tell the protagonist his plan before victory, but the boat capsized in the gutter, and was directly counterattacked by the Jedi and beaten into scum.

Zhou Lukan looked at the bamboo slip, and then listened to Liu Xun's words, and suddenly sweated, kneeling on the ground, at a loss.

Liu Xun laughed, handed the order to Zhou Lukan, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged, "The sea is tolerant of all rivers, there is tolerance, and Qing is happy and hateful, although it is chic, but Qing has heard that the person is a person who will repay and care?" Even the Marquis of Huaiyin can forgive the humiliation of stepping down! ”

"After Qing goes down, I have to read more Huang Lao's techniques, carefully!!" Liu Xun said with a smile.

When Zhou Lukan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The minister must follow His Majesty's teachings and always keep it in mind!" ”

"Good!" Liu Xun nodded, as for whether Zhou Lukan can listen to it, Liu Xun doesn't know, but at least by Han Zeng's side, he can make Zhou Lukan grow a little bit more in the city, be more tolerant, and be less domineering, maybe this current arrangement can save his life in the future!

In fact, the people and things arranged by Liu Xun are all targeted.

Xiao Wangzhi is a gentleman, so Liu Xun put Han Zeng by his side, learned his governance ability, and at the same time cultivated well, so as not to be killed by Shi Gao like later.

Zhou Lukan is a mad dog, and ordinary people can't look at it, so Liu Xun personally took care of it and tightened the chain.

Gu Qing and Wu Lu, born in the aristocracy, lived in two worlds with the common people, so they went to Hu Jian's side, on the one hand, to exercise their abilities and increase their knowledge, and at the same time, it was not to give them a chance to contact the lives of ordinary people and understand the suffering of the common people.

Zhang Ye is narrow-minded and will repay him, and Liu Xun himself is not a good bird, so he can only ask Han Zeng to discipline and supervise on his behalf.

"Teach students according to their aptitude, why not be the same for politics?" Liu Xun thought in his heart, "As long as you put the right people in the right position, even if you are the worst in the world, you may also make a beneficial contribution to society!" ”

After Zhou Lukan, Wu Lu and Wei Xin. These two men are actually here to gild......

Even the two of them know it themselves.

Now, a small group has been formed around him, led by Han Zeng, Hu Jian and other confidants, each with two younger brothers.

Under Han Zeng, there are Xiao Wangzhi and Zhang Ye, and at the same time, there is also an oil bottle Zhang Yu, and Yang Shen is responsible for chores.

Hu Jian took the duo of Chehou Wu Lu and Gu Qing.

Liu Xun himself manages Zhou Lukan, relying on his vertical and horizontal skills to balance the officialdom.

Everyone is happy, and the rest of the scholars will be agreed by the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Historian's Mansion, and they will take office in the coming month.

The examination that shocked the world has finally come to an end.
