Tai Chi Temple.

After the mountain call long lived, there was immediately silence in the main hall, and the silence was a little frightening.

"Why don't you speak?"

Li Zhi swept his eyes and smiled slightly: "I thought that I would not have a chance to speak today, it seems that you are quite taking care of my face!" ”

The ministers were all silent.

Li Zhi said again: "I have only been out for a year, and I can't imagine that so many things have happened in the DPRK and China...... Oh, before that, I want to praise the Hubu Shangshu, in the past, Sanmen Mountain also had frequent accidents, but you are used to it, only Han Shangshu immediately rushed to Sanmen Mountain after learning about the situation, dealt with the aftermath, and put forward a very good reform plan, I am very satisfied with this! ”

Han Yi immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment, this is just a matter of the minister's responsibility." ”

"Aiqing doesn't need to be modest."

Li Zhi smiled and nodded, but his eyes looked at Du Zhenglun and Li Yifu, and after Han Yi retreated, he said: "There is another thing, at the beginning, Li Zhongshu once played me, thinking that today's selection is unfair, and suggested that the variegated selection should not be added, I felt that Li Zhongshu had some truth at that time, so I approved it, but it seems to have caused dissatisfaction among many ministers." ”

Li Yifu immediately stood up and said: "The minister has lived up to His Majesty's high expectations, and asked His Majesty to condemn the minister." ”

"Hey!"

Li Zhiyi raised his hand and said, "This matter has not yet been discussed, and I don't understand what this is all about, and the key is to solve the problem. ”

Li Yifu's eyes flashed with a look of pride, and he said confidently: "Your Majesty, if you talk about things, the minister thinks that the minister has not done anything wrong, since ancient times, but any personnel change will always cause some controversy. ”

Li Zhi nodded slightly.

Du Zhenglun immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Li Zhongshu's words are reasonable, but Li Zhongshu's suggestion is exactly contrary to what Taizong Shengshang said back then, since Li Zhongshu also said that Taizong Shengshang was right at that time, that is, he admitted his mistakes. ”

As soon as the two men came up, they bit it.

Li Zhongshu said with a smile: "Du Zhongshu's words are wrong, although the two things are about personnel, but the problems are different, I suggest that Your Majesty is variegated into the stream, not to add selection, because the election itself is unfair, although there are many officials in the DPRK and China, but at the same time they are facing a situation where no one is available, and there are countless talented and ambitious people outside, but there is no place for them." This is why, isn't it because the selection of officials, most of them are based on their origins, but the nine-product Zhongzheng system has long been abandoned, and our dynasty has always been advocating the idea of meritocracy and meritocracy, so the selection is just the dregs left over from the predecessors and should be abolished. ”

Du Zhenglun said: "You are quibbling, what does Quanxuan have to do with the Jiupin Zhongzheng system?" The selection is to help the imperial court strictly select talents, even if there is a situation based on origin, it is also a human thing, and has nothing to do with the selection system, if Li Zhongshu really wants to change, he can supervise the officials of the ministry to prevent such incidents, instead of suggesting that His Majesty abolish the election. ”

Li Yifu snorted: "Meritocracy, since Zhenguan to the present, Taizong Shengshang and His Majesty have been advocating, but what is the fact, Du Zhongshu should know it, I think only by breaking it and then standing can we completely remove this dross thought." ”

Du Zhenglun immediately said: "Could it be that Li Zhongshu's breaking and standing is to arbitrarily promote variegated people into the stream, and even at the expense of recruiting those who are not right-hearted into the court, since His Majesty ordered the variegated people to enter the stream, not to be selected, Li Zhongshu, how many people have you promoted into the court, a total of 531 people, and our dynasty system stipulates that only 655 people are allowed to be recruited a year, but in just these few months, Li Zhongshu you alone have promoted more than 500 people into the court, if this is the solution, then it is better to return to the Jiupin Zhongzheng system." ”

Many ministers nodded one after another, Li Yifu had indeed gone too far in this regard.

Li Yifu was also embarrassed, but he was very aggrieved in his heart, of course he knew that he had done a little bit, if he was allowed to operate, he would not have done it like this, he used to sell official beards, it was all within the scope of everyone's tolerance, the problem was that this was an order from above, he had to do it!

Li Zhi suddenly spoke: "Du Aiqing is reasonable, then I don't know if you Aiqing has a solution?" ”

Du Zhenglun glanced at Liu Xiangdao.

This is a professional question, and it is natural for professionals to answer it.

Liu Xiangdao immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are two major drawbacks in the selection of judges by the imperial court now, and there are many and indiscriminate. Today, the imperial court has more than 1,500 scholars every year, which is three times the amount stipulated by the imperial court. And the variegated inflow and the lack of selection make the officials uneven, mixed, and the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. Thinking that the imperial examination is based on the Ming scriptures, it is rare to see people with both ability and political integrity, not to mention that more officials are taken into the stream, how can they all be virtuous? If the people are not virtuous, they can still harm the people of one side, and if the officials are not virtuous, they can harm the people of the world. ”

Li Zhi nodded frequently when he heard this.

Liu Xiangdao continued: "In ancient times, officials were selected based on official positions, and I have never heard that there are many people and few officials. Nowadays, there are a number of officials, and the flow is unlimited, and there is no reason why there is no chaos with the number of unlimited. ”

Li Zhi said: "Then according to Qing's intentions, what should I do?" ”

Liu Xiang said: "The minister thinks that to solve these two major drawbacks, only one thing is needed, that is, to streamline the officials, flexible trade-offs, and also to reduce some official positions on the original basis, so that each official can perform his own duties, and give full play to his talents in the position, so that those who have no virtue and no talent will have nothing to hide, but if there is any mistake, the court can immediately find out who made the mistake, correct the small mistake, and remove the big mistake, and then select talents from the Jinshi to make up for it." However, the disadvantages of the election should not be ignored, and the minister suggested that after the election of the officials, the official office with a vacant official post should be selected again, and His Majesty could personally inspect some important positions, and the two would supervise each other, so that they could achieve long-term peace and stability by using the complexity of this time. ”

As soon as the words fell, an official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Liu Shilang's words are unfounded, but exaggerated and alarmist, and not enough to be believed. ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, he felt that Liu Xiangdao was very reasonable, since there were only so many official positions, there should be so many officials, not more, not less, the right number to sit down. But nowadays, there are several officials in an official position, there are more people than officials, and there are infinite numbers for them, of course this is not good, this bottle is so big, you end up pouring a bucket of water into it, and it is strange if it does not flood.

However, as long as the officials are streamlined, then which is better and which is inferior at a glance, no ability, can not last a year, because there is something for you to do every day, no one to help you share the responsibility, and then choose people with both ability and political integrity to fill in, with a flexible system, to balance the situation of more wolves and less meat, although the streamlining of officials, but everyone has more opportunities, you have the ability, you can do it for a long time, in order to achieve the purpose of meritocracy. Li Zhi asked, "What do you say about Master Lu?" ”

This Master Lu said: "Your Majesty, Liu Shilang said that in today's court, the officials are uneven, and the fish and dragons are mixed, but the disadvantages are far greater than the advantages. The minister wants to know, why did Liu Shilang say that? Now that there are tens of thousands of officials, Liu Shilang may exhaust his life, and he will not be able to deal with every official, if Liu Shilang can point out which is better and which is worse in the court, I will be convinced, if I can't point it out, Liu Shilang's words are not enough to believe. ”

Liu Xiangdao frowned slightly, these tens of thousands of officials, even if he is a servant of the ministry, it is impossible to be familiar with everyone, it is already very good to be familiar with Yicheng, and how do you know which is better or worse, so he said: "How can this Liu Mou point it out one by one, but this can be determined by assessment." ”

"In this case, why did Liu Shilang say that, without assessment, why do you say that the inferior is greater than the good, the good and the bad are mixed, what are you not boasting about?" That Master Lu is aggressive.

Han Yi whispered to Zhang Daxiang on the side: "Look, this is the end of not learning mathematics well, if you don't speak rigorously, you have to make up for it, you are a household servant, you have to be more rigorous." ”

Zhang Daxiang is not laughing or crying, when is this time, you still have time to talk about the importance of mathematics. Thanks to the fact that the situation is more sensitive now, otherwise, Han Yi would have to stand up and explain the importance of mathematics, which is a great opportunity for publicity.

But then many officials stood up and grabbed Liu Xiangdao's language disease, accusing Liu Xiangdao of talking nonsense, exaggerating, and making false and alarmist remarks.

In short, if you Liu Xiangdao can't tell which is better and which is inferior, and the inferiority is far greater than the superior, then you are talking nonsense and slandering rumors.

Liu Xiangdao was stunned, these officials were not from Li Yifu, they were neutral, but the momentum they showed was even better than Li Yifu.

Li Yifu was so happy, he thought, the queen is really like a god!

Lu Chengqing and the others knew in their hearts that Liu Xiangdao's mistake was that he was too right, and the officialdom liked it speciously, who would be spared if you cut it with this knife?

If according to Liu Xiangdao's words, the officials will be streamlined, and the official positions will be reduced, then anyone may be eliminated.

These neutral officials, they did not choose a side in front of them, it can be seen that they all intend to put their own interests first, and see whose arguments are beneficial to them, and they will stand on whomever side.

Du Zhenglun was also sweating profusely at this time, his purpose was to deal with Li Yifu, and he wanted to use this matter to suppress Li Yifu, and Liu Xiangdao's purpose was really for the sake of the country, he didn't want to get involved in the struggle, so what he said was impartial, let's just do it, so although the two stood on the united front, because of the different purposes, there was also a lack of communication, and Du Zhenglun did not expect Liu Xiangdao to cause public anger.

"Enough!"

Li Zhi suddenly snorted and said, "Liu Shilang was just careless in his words for a while, are you so aggressive?" Have you not lost your word? ”

When the people saw that the emperor was angry, they all withdrew.

Li Zhi said to Liu Xiang with a gentle face: "Although Aiqing's words are reasonable, you still need to be cautious. ”

Liu Xiangdao was already frightened, I just talked about the matter, can you commit personal attacks, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's precepts, the ministers should take them to heart." ”

Li Zhi nodded, he knew that Liu Xiangdao was right, but when he saw the situation in the DPRK, he also felt strong resistance, this can't be played, the key is that the key ministers are not together, at that time, Li Shimin streamlined the officials, that was to first win the strong support of Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling, and the eldest grandson Wuji, and this was completed, but now, there is still a dispute between the two Zhongshu orders in the middle, and it is very difficult to complete the streamlining of officials today, so I can only make plans in the future, and said: "That's it, since the DPRK and China are now overcrowded, Let's stop the inflow of noise for now. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers said in unison.

There is no way to do it.

Du Zhenglun saw that Li Zhi was still biased towards Liu Xiangdao, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that Liu Xiangdao was still unreliable, and he had to rely on himself.

But at this moment, Li Yifu suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." ”

Li Zhi frowned when he heard this, but he still said patiently: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Yifu faintly noticed that Li Zhi's expression was a little unhappy, but this arrow was on the string, so he had to send it, so he said: "The minister wants to sue Zhongshu to order Du Zhenglun and Zhongshu Lang Li Youyi to form a party for personal gain and eliminate dissidents." ”
