Han Fu, who is known as a famous right-hand man, voted for Liu Jin.

Although some people initially thought that Han Fu walked in Liu Jin's private house in Shajia Hutong because he was grateful for Liu Jin speaking for him, so he came to the door to thank him, but when Han Fu came to the door every day, he actually became a frequent visitor to the Liu family in one fell swoop, and no one doubted this. Not only that, Han Fu repeatedly publicized that he was in prison, and the old servant went around asking his colleagues, relatives and friends for help, but it was Liu Jin who spoke for himself, which caused an uproar for a while. In addition to those who hoped to be promoted to become wealthy, there were also many depressed Beijing officials who came to Liu's house to ask for a meeting. When he found that the master of ceremonies Liu Gonggong, who was hated by others, was not only illiterate, but even quite knowledgeable, and treated people even more politely, the alley in front of Liu's house was more than three times more lively than before.

Faced with such a situation, Li Dongyang was a little unexpected. He has led Wenyuan for decades, and he is the oldest cabinet minister with the most qualifications, and his protégés are all over the government and the opposition, but this time he is not expected to stay as the first assistant, but he has to do it, only in the past few months, he has repeatedly written to ask for his resignation, but it has always been allowed. When the rumors even brought the matter of Han Fu being imprisoned and no one to rescue him, Li Mengyang in front of him, public opinion gradually became a little unbalanced, and even some protégés secretly discussed it, he finally felt the seriousness of the matter.

Liu Jin took advantage of Han Fu's affairs and finally succeeded in recruiting a group of truly useful talents; And Xu Xun needless to say, there are three generations of old, middle and young people under his command. These two groups of people are already full-fledged, if they still rely on their previous foundations, let alone the three-legged stand. I just want to be the first assistant with the mud! He didn't even need to guess the person who set off the public opinion storm this time, it must be Jiao Fang, and only this two-faced guy would be so eager to take advantage of this to go further!

He was not on duty in the palace that night, but he did not rest early. Instead, he sat in the study for a long time. It wasn't until there was a noise outside that he saw his wife, Mrs. Zhu, come in with a plate in person, that he got up and said, "It's so late, Madame just let others clean up, why do you have to stay up so late?" ”

"The master hasn't gone to bed yet, how can the concubine sleep alone?"

Although Mrs. Zhu is idle and doesn't care about foreign affairs, how can she not see the entanglement between her husband's eyebrows. After seeing the porridge and vegetables. Li Dongyang just ate a few bites absentmindedly, and she asked with concern: "If the master has something unclear in his heart, why not find someone to discuss?" A person sits withered and frowns. It's not always the way to go. The concubine heard that the Liu Mansion in Shajia Hutong was full of friends every day and night, and the Xing'an Bo Mansion in Wu'anhou Hutong often had guests in and out. In contrast, the master doesn't have much time at home, and even if he does, it is all poetry society and literary society, so although he brings his juniors, he always has a lack of arms to discuss. Once upon a time, there was ......"

Mrs. Zhu said for a moment, omitting Liu Jian Xie Qian's name, and then said with concern: "In the cabinet, the master must always have someone who relies on consultation. Didn't you say that Wang Ge is an upright person, can you ......?"

"Wang Shouxi is this person. There is more than uprightness, but there is not enough power, and it is incompatible with my character. Besides, I don't have a deep friendship with him, dealing with Jiao Fang in the cabinet, and perfunctory Liu Jin, but I can still work together, but those words in my heart are really inconvenient to talk to him...... Alas. If Yang Di'an had been able to return to Beijing earlier and take up the post of military department. Maybe I'll have more people to talk to. ”

Seeing Li Dongyang shaking his head as he spoke, Mrs. Zhu said thoughtfully: "There is no such Yang." It may not be without Biyang. I remember that the old man had been in the same East Palace as Zuo Chunfang Yang University, he had come to the house a few times, I had seen him from afar, he seemed to have a calm and steady personality, outstanding demeanor, and I heard that the article knowledge was also first-class. What's more important is that when he is still in the prime of life, he has lectured for the emperor again. "..., Yang Tinghe?

Li Dongyang suddenly remembered that Yang Tinghe was the deputy chief examiner of the previous subject, and Jiao Fang's son Jiao Huangzhong was not on the list, which was also in Yang Tinghe's hands. In the past, although he lectured in the East Palace, he was still different from Yang Tinghe and this kind of Japanese lecturer, and he didn't have much interaction with each other, but after all, he was famous because of a young prodigy, and he also recommended Yang Tinghe in front of Emperor Hongzhi. At this moment, he put down the chopsticks in his hand at once, and muttered for a while before looking up at his wife appreciatively.

"Madame is really a man who breaks his dreams."

"Where, the concubine is just talking about her name indiscriminately, the lord is a fan of the authorities, and the concubine may not be a bystander." Mrs. Zhu saw that Li Dongyang's eyebrows stretched a lot, and she also breathed a sigh of relief for a while, "As for the attack from outside now, the clear ones are self-purifying, and the lord should be more relaxed." No one can let everyone say yes, let alone the lord is the head of the cabinet? Now that the two parties have become a momentum, the old man is in the middle, if you are missing, I am afraid that in the blink of an eye, it will be the tip of the needle against the wheat, where can the momentum be achieved? ”

"Dingzu...... Alas, I think when Xu Xun protected me in front of the emperor, I knew that this was thankless with the first assistant of the mud, and it was not as good as Liu Han'an Xie Muzhai to return to his hometown at ease. But to do this kind of thing, what I want is to turn 100 steels into finger wrapping soft, even if I try my best, I am now exhausted. If you want to say that when Xu Xun entered Beijing, I didn't expect that people would achieve what they are now! You see, Liu Jin is in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, the head of the internal officials; I am the head of the cabinet and the head of the civil service. But he is just an earl in terms of title, and he pinched the official halls of the twelve regiments and battalions with one hand, and the avant-garde of the government army with the other, far from being the head of the military ministers, but he is still so powerful, he is really a hero since ancient times! ”

Seeing that Li Dongyang's mood had obviously improved a lot, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but quip: "Didn't the master say that he didn't see him being cunning before?" Why has the saying been changed now, and the Taoist family has been a hero since ancient times? ”

was caught by his wife with such a speech problem, Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't help laughing dumbly. He was originally a determined person, and after his wife comforted him and made such a joke, he naturally cheered up, and after he finished using up the porridge, he immediately smiled again: "All in all, among the three, I am the oldest, and I will not lose to them!" Isn't it just with the mud, I've been in the cabinet for years, the obscure hermitage, the wood is impatient, I've always been there and the mud, and now I can't be patient to meet the source! ”

"I knew the master would say that. If everyone sees that things are not harmonious and picks on them, and the major events in the world are all in the hands of traitors, is it the backbone? Mrs. Zhu smiled and took away the dishes and chopsticks, and when she went out, she suddenly turned around and said, "The master just said that Pingbeibo is a hero from ancient times, and it is obvious that he attaches great importance to him. It's not that I'm an afterthought now, thinking about Liu Ge and Xie Ge back then, or I underestimated him too much. It is better to lose the pulsatilla than to bully the poor youth, although this is biased, but it still makes sense. ”

Li Dongyang groaned thoughtfully when he heard this, and it wasn't until Mrs. Zhu went out that he breathed a sigh of relief. I heard that Liu Jin intends to reform the imperial court, so he is eager to gather capable people to act as pawns, and what exactly is involved, he, the head of the cabinet, is not Liu Jin's party after all, and he doesn't know the slightest rumor. The previous more than a dozen reforms were already astonishing enough, and if this time it was more drastic, if he reacted more slowly, he might be in even more trouble.

The wife is right, she would rather lose a pulsatilla than bully the poor youth. But now that Jiao Fang is in such a hurry, if he leans in on Xu Xun a little more, I'm afraid that Liu Jin will react even more! If his reputation is bad, it will be bad, and at this time, he still has to meet Liu Jin first! ..., for the well-informed Xu Xun, Li Dongyang met Liu Jin privately in a teahouse, and the two discussed the matter secretly for a whole hour, and naturally it reached his ears in a moment. Although I don't know what the two of them talked about, but after the Wangri Dynasty on December 15, Han Fu took the title of the right deputy capital imperial history to manage the Susong grain reserve, and after the official examination law and the seven rules of Lin Lin Zongzong came out, he naturally understood that Li Dongyang and Liu Jin, who did not say a word at the court, reached a compromise.

Xu Xun has a relatively deep understanding of Zhang Juzheng's examination method - after all, the performance appraisal and so on in modern enterprises are actually similar to this, but even those systems are not as strict as the examination method. What he gave Zhang Wenmian was not the final draft, but just a relatively rough framework. It is only said that the six ministries of the Metropolitan Procuratorate should list the items that officials should do in a year, and evaluate them one by one at the end of the year.

And one of the biggest loopholes in this is that failure to complete is a punishment, and it is not a relegation, but a punishment, but it does not mention how to reward and reward. He knew very well that for Liu Jin, who hoped to win people's hearts by relying on generous rewards as he wanted, and hoped to suppress civil officials by heavy punishments, even if he noticed this loophole he deliberately exposed, he would not feel any inconvenience.

If rewards and punishments are done in accordance with the rules, what will Liu Jin do to show grace and authority?

As for those unbelievable new policies that make widows remarry, he knows that it must be Liu Jin who bewitches Zhu Houzhao, who doesn't care about these trivial things, although he feels helpless, but he just lets it go. It's just that when Lin Han came to the door angrily with Zhang Fuhua this night, Xu Xun put a more detailed statement in front of the two.

Lin Han is also an old official, at this moment, after reading this article at a glance, his eyes immediately froze, and he suddenly saw the pros and cons, and couldn't help but look up and ask: "Liu Jin just made this new policy today, what are you ......?"

"I already knew his rules, and I couldn't stop it, so I had to think of a way on that basis." Xu Xun would never say that Chen was the trap he put on Zhang Wenmian, and after a pause, he smiled slightly, "As for this now, and after his test method has made countless officials suffer, he will take it out and give them some sweetness!" There are punishments and rewards, so that people can have hope. In the past, the Jingcha plan was too lenient, and the officials under him should be tightened, otherwise the result of the corruption of the officials, Lord Lin and Lord Zhang should also know! Lord Lin has been in charge of the Ministry for a few months, and he should know that it seems to be a peaceful and prosperous world now, but internal and external troubles are no small matter! ”

Zhang Shihua frowned when he heard this: "But the more this is the case, the more you can't rush for quick success." ”

"Since it's hard to return, why don't you let people set a fire first? If it is not broken, it will not stand, and it will stand after it is broken. It's a risk, but it's also an opportunity! Speaking of this, Xu Xun looked at the two bigwigs who came together today with a smile, "With the old qualifications of the two, let's see what shortcomings this Chen still has, and let me pick up the gaps." ”

PS: That's all for today, and I'll end this volume after a chapter tomorrow, so I'll have to think about it carefully......
