When Zheng Tai said this, the people who were originally on Jin Liang's side would look at Jin Liang with suspicion

Jin Liang laughed loudly and said: "The two people I recommended, Zhuge Xuannai was a generation of famous ministers and lieutenants Zhuge Feng, who served as the county commander of Yi County and Taishan County, and was honest and honest as an official, and was deeply loved by the people, but because he offended the powerful, he has not been promoted, and now I recommend him as the Taishou of Wei County, where is he incompetent?" Fa Yan is the son of a generation of famous scholars Mr. Xuande Fazhen, who served as Situ Peng and Tingwei Zuo Supervisor, and knows the law, among the officials here in Xiangyang, he is the most qualified person for the position of Tingwei, but you say that he is from Dong Zhuo's side, maybe a spy sent by Dong Zhuo, to erase him with such a ridiculous and trumped-up charge, just to pave the way for your henchmen to be promoted to these two official positions, so selfish, self-serving, and uncourteous, An can be the secretary of the ministry?

At the beginning of your abuse of the doormen, I noticed that something was wrong, so I let people pay close attention, and as I expected, there are not many of these doormen raised by you who are honest and capable, and they are all villains who meet you and meet you

It's better to do this, wait for the subordinates of our company to bring these people to Xiangyang and hand them over to the three divisions for trial, if it is conclusive, I will take your head, if it is false, I will pay my head, Zheng Tai Pifu, do you dare to confront me? ”

Zheng Tai's face became more and more pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "What three divisions will be tried?" In the imperial history, Cheng was recommended by you, Tingwei was recommended by you, and your people occupy two of the three divisions. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info No matter how ridiculous things are, they can become conclusive evidence"

Lu Zhi slammed the table. shouted loudly: "Zheng Tai." Don't mess around, it's better to hand over your twenty-four disciples to my nephew for interrogation, if everything is confirmed, not only will you be 'killed', but also let all the people of the Zheng family be punished and confiscated as slaves."

Huang Wan, as Shang Shuling, is Zheng Tai's top boss and has the heart to save Zheng Tai's life. shouted loudly: "Zheng Tai, remember that you were once an important minister of the imperial court, and you also made contributions to supporting the imperial court, spare your 'life', you must not be ignorant of advance and retreat"

Zheng Tai closed his eyes miserably, and thought about it carefully, as Jin Liang said, there are not many people who are really loyalist, all of them are people who tend to be inflammatory, and the character of those people can be imagined. I can't put my own 'life' and my family on their integrity, thinking of this. plopped and knelt in front of Jin Liang: "Zheng Tai has no eyes, negligence in employing people, and ignorance of talents, if he makes such a big mistake, please forgive Zheng Tai because we have worked together to protect the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother from Luoyang and build the Xiangyang Imperial Court."

Taishi Cai Yong and Taibao Ma 'Ri' also persuaded: "Xianting, Zheng Tai is only negligent in employing people, and has no other faults, so he has to spare and spare people."

As soon as Cai Taishi and Ma Taibao started this, other ministers of the family such as Shangshu and Shilang of various ministries also interceded for Zheng Tai, and later Lu Zhi also interceded for Zheng Tai

Jin Liang glanced at Yang Biao and the others, and said coldly: "The system of recommendation and joint sitting you promulgated is written in black and white, the people you recommend are uneven, and some people bend the law for personal gain and corruption, and I want to forgive them, but I don't know if the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Central Army who spilled their blood on the front line will agree, and I don't know if the tens of millions of Li people under the rule of the Han Dynasty will agree."

As soon as Jin Liang's words landed, he heard a deafening chorus of shouts outside the cabinet: "Don't agree"

Yang Biao and the others were frightened, and looked outside the cabinet, it turned out to be Wang Yue's 2,000 Tiger Army and the 2,000 Flying Tiger Army led by Dian Wei and Zhao Yun surrounded the cabinet, brandishing weapons together and shouting in unison

Lu Zhi was furious and slapped the table: "Jin Xianting, what do you want to do?" ”

Jin Liang said coldly: "Taifu Lu, for the sake of the stability of the Han Dynasty and for the peace of your family, when our Central Army fought bloody battles in front and fought with Dong Zhuo's subordinates and the Southern Xiongnu, you family ministers were pulling the hind legs of our Central Army in the back, and people like Zheng Tai were actually appointed by you as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials.

I, Jin Liang, are looking for talents all over the territory of the Han Dynasty, isn't it just to serve our imperial court? Some of the talents I recommend are indeed from humble backgrounds, but they have both talent and morality, and they are far better than those scum of the family who are vegetarian corpses, and just because of this meritocracy, I will offend you, do you want to work together to deal with me? ”

Lu Zhi saw that Jin Liang had broken his words, and he didn't know how to end it, so he looked at the initiator Yang Biao coldly

In the original history, Yang Biao was able to use women's jealousy to deal with Li Dao and Guo Yan, in this time and space, he was naturally very unaccustomed to Jin Liang, who was in charge of martial arts, so he came up with a recommendation and joint sitting system to restrict Jin Liang, because Jin Liang engaged in that "meritocracy" to widely spread his henchmen in the government and the opposition, which reminded him of Wang Mang back then

In such a situation, of course, Yang Biao couldn't admit that it was aimed at Jin Liang, for fear that as soon as he admitted it, he would be hacked to death by Jin Liang's personal soldiers outside, so he said astringently: "Xianting, you are too sensitive, I propose this is not only for you, I am for all the ministers of the imperial court, the court has just arrived in Xiangyang, and all the yamen in the court are lacking in talents, and some ministers will be nepotistic, and arbitrarily recommend some people who have no talent and no virtue. The strict system of recommendation and joint sitting has been formulated in order to rectify the atmosphere of employing people in the imperial court, and it is definitely not to restrict the development of Xianting."

Yang Biao's words are definitely three hundred taels of silver here, but Jin Liang is reluctant to say it, because once he says it, he will tear his face with Yang Biao, Yang Biao is different from Zheng Tai, the fourth and third princes of the Hongnong Yang family have been a few big families in the Han Dynasty since the ancestor Sizhi Mr. Yang Zhen, the Yang family does not have the ambition of the Yuan family in Runan, and does not deliberately cultivate protégés and former officials, but after all, the Yang family is a protégé and former official cultivated by the fourth and third dukes intentionally or unintentionally, and there are also a considerable number of former officials, Jin Liang still wants to keep Yang Biao to continue to be a political vase for the time being

Xingyang Zheng Tai's family, except for Zheng Hun, other family members are mostly attached to Zheng Tai, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are also quite involved, which Jin Liang does not like, and the future political pattern is in. Jung Tae will have to be eliminated sooner or later. It's better to get rid of it late than to get rid of it early

Since Yang Biao said so. Jin Liang borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said with a slight smile: "Yang Situ, your original intention of rectifying the rule of officials and purging the atmosphere of employing people is good, but you have forgotten that we are now in troubled times, in addition to Dong Zhuo, a chaotic minister and thief, there are many illegal forces in other states and counties that ignore the laws of the imperial court and are making waves. There are many Yellow Turban remnants rampant in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, we need a large number of talents to help the imperial court sweep away those chaotic parties, help the imperial court govern the place, born in troubled times, forced to make a living, many people have done some helpless things, if you chase down, I am afraid that everyone's private morality or resume is unclear, the water is clear, there is no fish, if we require everyone who comes to serve the court is as clear as water and clear as a mirror. I'm afraid the court will be empty immediately."

Speaking of this, Jin Liang sighed: "I have been serving as a lieutenant for more than two months. I have more than 1,000 competent officers who monitor you and your recommended talents every day

Don't hide it from you, the talents you recommend have the ability or private morality, if it is strictly in accordance with the recommendation and joint sitting system proposed by Yang Situ, I am afraid that none of you here will be able to sit here

Including you, Yang Situ, Niu Fan, the Hongnong man you recommended, although he is the in-law of your Yang family, he has secretly been bought by Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru with a lot of money, and has become a secret agent sent here by Dong Zhuo.

Yang Biao looked frustrated, and asked helplessly: "In this way, this system is destined to not be implemented?" ”

Jin Liang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It can be implemented completely, but not now, when the world is slightly determined, it can be implemented nationwide, but now there is chaos everywhere, and everything is uncertain, such a strict system cannot be implemented, it can only be superficial, and it can only become a political tool to retaliate against each other."

Lu Zhi's eyes also showed a look of disappointment, the reason why he agreed with Yang Biao to implement this system, although there was a little bit of the idea of restricting the development of Jin Liang's forces, but the motive was to limit the bad atmosphere of many family ministers to indiscriminately cronyism and cultivate party henchmen, but listening to Jin Liang say this, the law does not blame the public, this seemingly feasible system is destined to be unenforceable, even if it is strongly implemented, it will become a dead letter, meaningless

Jin Liang saw Lu Zhi's expression, so he smiled and said: "In fact, this system still has merit, as long as it is slightly modified, it can be used Now I suggest that if the recommended person has a serious situation, such as treason, rebellion and other crimes, the recommended person must be investigated by the three divisions, even if it is not involved, it must be temporarily removed from the official position, in order to punish the recommended person If there are more than three people who have corruption and other minor problems, the recommended person must be investigated by the three divisions, even if it is not involved, he must be temporarily removed from the official position to show punishment, If the recommender recommends many people, and only one or two have problems and they are all corruption and other problems, the recommender is not responsible, of course, if it is involved, it must be dealt with according to the law of the country"

Jin Liang said this in order to exonerate himself, he believed that he had the help of the three major intelligence organizations, and there should not be many problems with the subordinates recruited, and even if there were problems, they would be curbed before public opinion broke out, and the prevention was only to prevent those private moral problems that were not valued by Jin Liang but were taken care of by some family ministers, such as Guo Jia's good 'lust' and alcoholism, if the prodigal son Guo Jia seduced a woman from a good family and Jin Liang was forced to resign, Jin Liang didn't want to be such a wrongdoer

When Jin Liang said this, the ministers of the family present breathed a sigh of relief, and they all agreed with Jin Liang's method of grasping the big and letting go of the small

Taishi Cai Yong also sighed: "The water is clear, there is no fish, people are not in vain, there is no seeing, there is not hearing, there is a great virtue, forgiveness is small, there is no need to prepare for the righteousness of one person, this is the eternal way of employing people, virtuous and wise, deep through this way, worthy of emulation"

Yang Biao plucked up his courage and asked astringently, "What should Zheng Tai do?" "Originally, Yang Biao's status was the same as Jin Liang's, and they were both cabinet ministers, but Yang Biao was tossed by Jin Lianglian and was convinced, so he had to lower his dignity and ask Jin Liang for instructions

Jin Liang looked coldly at Zheng Tai who was paralyzed in the seat, and couldn't help but think of Zheng Tai's younger brother Zheng Hun, in order to win over the mechanical master Zheng Hun, he couldn't separate Zheng Tai, and besides, the Xingyang Zheng family was also a family with deep roots, and it was still not good to offend too much, so he smiled slightly and said: "According to the standard I just said, it is better to remove Zheng Tai from the post of secretary and guard first, and let him reflect at home first." Wait for the rumors to pass. and then delegate to other duties. For example, official positions such as the Ministry of Rites"

Jin Liang didn't want to give this guy any more key positions

Yang Biao kicked Zheng Tai, Zheng Tai realized, quickly got up, bowed down to Jin Liang and thanked him: "Zheng Tai thanked Xian Ting Gong for his magnanimity and repaid his grievances with virtue"

Jin Liang waved his hand and motioned for Jung Tae to leave.

Shang Shu made Huang Wan realize from this incident that Jin Liang was powerful and could not be offended, because Jin Liang not only mastered the military power, but also the supervision power, once he offended Jin Liang. Jin Liang will first catch your fault, once he catches it, he will force you to submit, even if there is no problem, Jin Liang will use the Central Army in his hand to create a problem for you, since he can't afford to offend, and he is kind to himself, then try to cater to it

Huang Wan asked with a smile: "After Zheng Tai was dismissed, the head of the six ministries has no capable ministers to take charge for the time being, I don't know if there is a candidate for the Xianting Gong to recommend?" ”

Jin Liang looked at Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, and Ma 'Ri': "It's better to ask the three lords to decide" Jin Liang still picked up these three, as for the others. Jin Liang will give a certain amount of respect, provided that he does not kick his nose in the face. Otherwise, give him a slap in the face

Lu Zhi and the three of them discussed for a while, and then said with a smile: "Xianting, our protégés and former officials, and the children of the family who have both ability and political integrity have all been elected to the imperial court, and the rest are too young or not talented and virtuous, Xianting, do you have any good candidates to say?"

Jin Liang thought about it for a while, there are still very few people who can be controlled by himself and recognized by these ministers of the imperial court to be able to serve as the secretary of the ministry, Jin Liang wants to recommend Frustration, but he feels that Frustrated's military talent is greater than his political ability, and he is suitable for himself to be in charge of the Military Affairs Yuan, he wants to recommend Dong Zhao, and he wants someone to sit in the rear to govern for himself, Zhang Zhao and Xun Yu are very suitable, but they all refuse to follow him, who should be promoted?

Jin Liang suddenly remembered a person, Pei Mao, the head of the Pei family in Hedong

During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Pei Mao served as a scholar in the court, and was considered a colleague of Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi was quite familiar with him, Pei Mao also served as Cao Wei's Shangshu Ling in history, and also served in the summer and April of the third year of Jian'an, leading Duan Xuan and other Guanzhong generals to crusade against Dong Zhuoyu's party Li Dao and Guo Yan, and won the victory to seal Yangji Pinghou, this person is considered to have some ability

Prior to this, Pei Mao had served as the county guard of Qinghe in the Xiangyang court, and then absconded back to Wenxi's hometown in Hedong because he was dissatisfied with Jin Liang's martial arts, but now Wenxi County has been owned by Jin Liang, and several of Pei Mao's sons are also under Jin Liang's account, especially his eldest son Pei Qian, although the homonym is to lose money, but he is responsible for the finances of the Central Army with the Wei family. Although Pei Mao was dissatisfied with some of Jin Liang's policies, he had to succumb to the pressure of family interests and follow Jin Liang.

Jin Liang said: "Hedong Wendean Pei Mao Pei Julong is okay?" "Pei Mao has a very loud word, dragon.

Pei Mao once served as a county guard of Qinghe in the Xiangyang Imperial Court, and everyone had some impressions of him, especially Lu Zhi: "During the period of the first emperor, I was a scholar, and Pei Mao was my colleague, this person was fair and decisive, and he should be a good candidate." ”

Since Fu Lu Zhi had spoken, the other ministers couldn't say anything, and they all agreed to Jin Liang's recommendation to Pei Mao.

Pei Mao is still in Wenxi County, Hedong County, and it is at least five or six days away to come here, but the entry procedures of Fa Yan and Zhuge Xuan cannot be delayed, so Jin Liang said to Shangshu Ling Huang Wan: "The Ministry of Officials cannot have a 'day' without Shangshu, it is better for Shangshu to temporarily take over the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and then replace it when Pei Mao arrives." ”

Huang Wan nodded: "This is my business." However, for the appointment of Fa Yan and Zhuge Xuan, the Ministry of Officials cannot make the decision, and the Cabinet still needs to adjudicate, and only after the Cabinet agrees can the Ministry of Officials do the entry filing procedures. ”

Only then did Jin Liang think that when he first established this cabinet, he had already handed over the appointment power to the cabinet for adjudication of the official positions above the county guard, and the officials only had the right to appoint civilian officials under the county guard, and the appointment power for military attachés was also put by Jin Liang in the military affairs of the general's palace.

Jin Liang smiled dumbly, he had been fighting outside for more than a month, and he had forgotten all the rules he had specified, he had found the wrong person when he was looking for Zheng Tai just now, Zheng Tai did not have the right to veto the appointment of Zhuge Xuan and Fa Yan, but he vetoed it, which shows that he is very incompetent to be a secretary of the ministry, and he can't even figure out the basic system of the imperial court, and he suffered this unwarranted disaster by himself.

By removing Zheng Tai from the post of secretary of the ministry, Jin Liang greatly deterred those ministers of the family who were about to act against Jin Liang, and the other auxiliary ministers of the cabinet no longer touched Jin Liang's mold, and said that Fa Yan and Zhuge Xuan were both fully qualified and competent, and they all readily agreed.

The cabinet confirmed the appointment, the officials began to go through the formalities, and at the same time, according to Jin Liang's intentions, a slightly more relaxed recommendation and joint sitting system was reformulated, Jin Liang looked at it carefully, and then looked at Fa Yan and Zhuge Xuan seriously: "I hope you don't live up to my high expectations, don't make big mistakes, but beware of small mistakes, send you a word, don't take evil as a small thing, don't do it with good, but be virtuous and virtuous, and be able to obey others!" ”

Lu Zhi applauded: "Don't take evil as small, don't take good as small, but be virtuous and virtuous, and be able to obey others!" Xianting's words are really golden and jade! Ziyan, the Ministry of Officials conveyed this sentence to every official, and let them remember that they should guard against the slightest and restrain themselves from a small place! ”

Huang Wan nodded yes, and Fa Yan and Zhuge Xuan also expressed their determination. (To be continued.) )
