When Zheng Wen led his ministers back to the capital, it was already evening.

Zheng Wen stood in the imperial garden, watching the sunset.

The era of Daqian's Jianqi came to an end, ushering in the era of Zheng Wen.

The afterglow of the setting sun also drifted away with Zheng Wen's thoughts.

Ask the vast earth, who is the lord of ups and downs?

……

The next day, in the morning.

Zheng Wen summoned cabinet members in the Wude Hall and began to learn to handle government affairs.

Zheng Wen wrote down this person deeply.

Hubu Shangshu, Guo Cheng, the word Yongnian, fifty-two years old this year, looks quite handsome, slender, is from a family, Longcheng nine years of Jinshi, has served as a bachelor of Hanlin, the prince of the house, Hubu Langzhong, Hubu Shilang, Hubu Shangshu, this person is a close confidant of the first emperor, is also a powerful person, has been working in the central government, to the Hubu Shangshu, just the second prince who supported on the day. Zheng Wen still has to observe and observe.

The military department Shangshu, Zhao Shan, the word Zecheng, is sixty-five years old this year, burly, but his face shows an old portrait, he is a border warrior family, Longcheng was a jinshi in the first year, and successively served as an academician of Hanlin, the military department Langzhong, the county lieutenant, the county guard, the minister of state, the military department squire, the military department Shangshu, this is definitely a powerful person, first from the virtual post to the real job, and from the central to the local, and then to the center, is the best of the people, and is also a neutral faction, Zheng Wen deeply remembers this person.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Zhou Kuo, the word Chengde, is fifty years old this year, thin and weak, with a resolute face, is a Jinshi of Longcheng for 12 years, first in the Criminal Department to observe politics, and then as the director, Langzhong, Shilang, Shangshu, is an old criminal name, is from a family, neutral.

……

Zheng Wen received the salute from the ministers in the cabinet, and asked, "The Book of Rites, what is your opinion on the name of my father?" ”

Qian Chang got up and saluted Zheng Wen, and said, "Our Ministry of Rites has asked all the important ministers, and it is most appropriate to give the nicknames of Ping, Zhang, and Wen, but what does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Zheng Wen actually didn't understand this, pondered for a while, and said, "Add filial piety!" My father has a gentle temperament, so let's be filial and gentle! This can be regarded as summing up the life of my father. ”

The historian next to him recorded: In the sixteenth year of Jianqi, on the fourth day of the ninth month, in the morning, the emperor's edict and prime minister, the six Shangshu, the privy envoy, and the Jingying Jiedu envoy asked the first emperor to say the name, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshuchang said: Ping, Chang, Wen, what is it? The emperor said: Filial piety is filial piety, so Emperor Jianqi is called Emperor Xiaowen.

Next, Zheng Wen began to contact government affairs, and he looked at the twists and turns, but he was confused, Zheng Wen's predecessor and himself were not erudite people, and his predecessor could be regarded as just literate, so it would not work like this.

Then he said: "Ministers, stop, I have a question, I have been eighteen years old, I am not very knowledgeable, and I am not afraid of jokes, this recital is too profound, I can't understand it, in the future, I should be as simple and straightforward as possible, otherwise I will not understand, and it will delay things, after you go down, you will also convey my meaning for me, and apologize for me." ”

Prime Minister Liu Jian listened and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, torture the ministers and others, after the ministers wait, they will definitely make people improve." ”

The rest of the ministers also expressed their positions.

Since then, the great cadre's performance has gradually been transformed into practicality, but Zheng Wen's humility to his ministers has also spread here, and since then he has also gained a reputation for being broad-minded.

Zheng Wen continued: "This recital is too chaotic, after you go down, write the departments of each ministry on the recital of each department, and the sorting of sub-departments, and write urgent ones, and generally don't need them, so that it is also convenient for me and the ministers to deal with urgent matters first, and then deal with the general, so it is much more convenient." ”

When everyone heard this, they were also happy, and it was much easier for them to deal with it in this way.

Since then, the flexible label has also been attached to Zheng Wen.

……

At this time, Zheng Wen's thoughts turned to the nine ministers, looking at their backgrounds, some were born in families, some were born in poor families, some were born in soldiers, although most of them were born in literati, but some of them were born in martial arts, which shows that the Great Qian Dynasty has not yet formed a situation in which civilian officials completely overwhelm military attachés, and the martial style formed in the Sui and Tang dynasties of the two Han Dynasty still affects the Great Qian. Although the level of civil and military has been clearly distinguished, but it has not yet reached the situation that the military generals of the Song and Ming dynasties are lower than those of civilian officials and controlled by civil affairs, which shows that Daqian still has a martial style, Zheng Wen is still very happy about this, he has admired the Han and Tang Dynasties since he was a child, likes the Three Kingdoms, and likes the force, the kind of "those who commit strong men, although they are far away, they will be punished"!

Moreover, looking at the resumes of these ministers, we know that most of them have worked from the local level, have rich political experience, have practical experience, have no type of eye-catching, high-handed, and low-level type, and have not yet formed the atmosphere of "not being a prime minister of the Hanlin", and attaching equal importance to the family and the poor family, which shows that the Daqian Dynasty is at least in the middle and lower stages of the feudal dynasty, and has not yet reached the end of the dynasty.

Zheng Wen thought about these at this time, and he still had a sense of joy!
