"Minister Cai Yong see Your Majesty." Cai Yong walked in quickly and bowed to Liu Hong.

"Gong Cai, how is the emperor's studies?" Liu Hong stretched out his hand to help him, signaling Cai Yong to excuse himself, the previous worry on his face had disappeared, and he asked with a smile.

"The prince is gifted and intelligent, and among the people he has encountered, he is the best." Referring to this half of the disciples, Cai Yong's solemn look on his face is also a lot gentler, if he counts the registered disciples in his life, there are many disciples, but there are not many people who can really be regarded as talented, and there are only two who can be recognized by Cai Yong, one is Ye Zhao, but unfortunately Ye Zhao lacks interest in Confucianism, and it is difficult to inherit his mantle, and the other is Liu Xie, unlike Ye Zhao, Liu Xie is quite interested in Confucianism, but unfortunately, the identity of the prince cannot follow him around like Ye Zhao to let himself be carefully guided.

"It is also a blessing for the emperor to be praised by Cai Weng, by the way, Cai Weng is here, but there is something?" Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction.

"I heard that Your Majesty has chosen a good fighter from the people?" Cai Yong raised his head and looked at Liu Hongdao.

"Yes, Cai Gong's news is also well-informed enough." Liu Hong said with a smile.

Although Cai Yong has now been pardoned, his official position has not been restored, and he has not been in the court, not long after this dispersal of the dynasty, Cai Yong has already gotten the news, although he knows that this matter will be known to Cai Yong sooner or later, but Liu Hong still can't help but quip.

"Minister......" Cai Yong smiled bitterly: "Now that the Taiping Sect is full of thieves, the ministers are worried about Sheji, and they have been waiting outside the palace to ......"

"I don't mean to blame you." Liu Hong sighed and said, "I heard that you persuaded the Wei family to hand over the dowry gift sent to the treasury?" ”

"The minister is just doing his best, and he doesn't dare to take credit." Cai Yong bowed.

Liu Hong shook his head and said quietly: "If this Manchu Dynasty Minister can be as loyal as Cai Gong, perhaps, there will be no such Taiping Sect matter, and from tomorrow, Cai Gong will also go to the court to discuss matters." ”

Cai Yong shook his head and said: "The ministers are guilty of crimes, how can they abolish the rites indiscriminately, especially when this national disaster occurs, the court etiquette must be more strict, and the courtiers should also abide by it, so that they can set an example for the people." ”

"You~" Liu Hong shook his head and said, "Say, I'm here to ask for an official for your disciple." ”

"It's not about seeking officials." Cai Yong solemnly said: "If Xiu Ming does not have this virtue ability, the minister does not dare to abolish the public for private reasons, but it does have the ability, the so-called virtuous do not avoid relatives, the minister thinks that when the country employs people, Xiu Ming's talent, can indeed be used, Your Majesty, Xiu Ming in Youzhou when he entered the office, he can defeat Hu Qi several times, not only to protect my Han territory, but also to promote the outside of the Saiwai, kill Xianbei Shan Yu, stir up the storm outside the Saiwai, so that the Hu people do not dare to go south, although Xiu Ming's background is not high, but at this time my Han is at the time of employing people, Your Majesty does not have to stick to the view of the door. ”

Zhang Rang didn't open his mouth, although he accepted Ye Zhao's money, but he knew the emperor's character better, if he opened his mouth to help at this time, not only Cai Yong would not appreciate it, but the emperor was afraid that he would also be suspicious.

"What Cai Gong said is not unreasonable." Liu Hong glanced at Zhang Rang suspiciously, nodded and said: "I naturally won't forget this person, and not only that, the two Liang countries before and after are quite appreciative of this Ye Xiuming, this week Jing also wrote a letter hoping to let Ye Zhao concurrently serve as the governor of Liang Guo, but unfortunately, this Zhou Jing actually abandoned the city and fled, the real number is hateful, but your disciple did a good job, turned the tide in times of crisis, expelled tens of thousands of Taiping sect members from Suiyang from the city, kept Suiyang from losing, and kept most of the granary, I allowed him to temporarily replace the post of Liang Guoxiang, and also lead the captain. ”

"This ...... Is authority too heavy? Although Xiuming is talented, after all, virtue is not enough, and he cannot be serious. Cai Yong couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, Liang Guo is not Ma Cheng, even if he is optimistic about Ye Zhao, but this military and political power is concentrated in one, and it is also an important town like Liang Guo, Cai Yong is not only worried about whether Ye Zhao can do it, but also worried that Ye Zhao will have some ideas that should not be had, after all, the ability of this right to corrode people's hearts is not small, even if Ye Zhao is only able to learn high, but his cultivation is not enough, Cai Yong is afraid that he will have some other thoughts.

What's more, such an important position was handed over to a young man who had just been weakly crowned, and Ye Zhao was also worried about whether Ye Zhao would be able to withstand it.

Cai Yong's words made Liu Hong feel a lot more comfortable, and he nodded and said: "I don't know, Cai Gong rest assured, Ye Zhao is not a royal family, I can't let him stay in this position for a long time, but now he ......"

With a wry smile, Liu Hong looked at Cai Yong and said: "Although Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song have been sent to suppress it, but the thieves are huge, and it is difficult to extinguish them for a while. ”

"This ......" Cai Yong was stunned, the state pastoral system has been deposed for many years, and its disadvantages are self-evident, Cai Yong opened his mouth and wanted to admonish, but was stopped by Liu Hong.

"I refused." Liu Hong sat down in a pavilion, shook his head a little tiredly, and said: "It's just that at this time, the imperial court's control over the states and counties is really insufficient, since Ye Zhao is capable, let him temporarily act as the prime minister of Liang, and after pacifying the rebellion of the Taiping Sect of Liang State, I will transfer him to Huangfu Song to assist Huangfu Song to break the Yingchuan Taiping Sect, if he has outstanding performance, I will recruit him to Luoyang as an official." ”

The Taiping rebellion also made Liu Hong feel that there was a shortage of talents in the court, and the Manchu Dynasty ministers only elected three veterans to come out, looking at Luoyang, which should be full of talents, the younger generation, there was no one available, and those old ministers, most of them were pure talkers, really said that they did, none of them, and they only knew how to fight for power and profit all day long, and also made Liu Hong eager to introduce fresh blood to Luoyang, and swing the dead silence of Luoyang City.

"Your Majesty is wise, this move is harmful and unprofitable to the community, and it is not feasible." Cai Yong nodded.

Isn't it feasible?

Liu Hong didn't say much, just looked at Cai Yong and said: "Ye Zhao's matter, I have already arranged, Cai Gong doesn't have to worry, I hope that Cai Gong will bother a lot, after this Taiping Sect matter is over, I will announce the reinstatement of your official position, as for the matter of Ling Nu and the Wei family, I will personally preside over the marriage at that time." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Cai Yong hurriedly bowed and said.
