"Well, seniority is so annoying!"

Thinking of this, he knew very well that although he was in the Han Dynasty, it was not serious enough to be the same as in later generations, and everything needed to be ranked by seniority. However, if you don't have enough qualifications, but you take the liberty of sitting in a high position, you will definitely get into a lot of trouble. Not to mention anything else, those who are not convinced, even if they are loyal to their duties and do not give you a stumbling block in secret, but in the face of your orders, it is inevitable to disobey and procrastinate. In that case, it will definitely delay things.

But what Liu Hong is embarrassed about now is that for a while, he can't find someone with enough ability and qualifications.

"Alas, this can be regarded as a test for him, since he has the ability, he should be able to solve this problem!" After thinking about it, Liu Hong could only make up his mind to find a candidate among capable people.

There are a lot of people with enough ability and slightly less qualifications, and those historical celebrities are basically like this. Therefore, it is not easy for Liu Hong to pick one of them.

"If you want to talk about familiar historical celebrities, you have to talk about my secretaries. They stayed with me all day and were definitely the most familiar. ”

But Liu Hong pondered for a while, and excluded his secretaries. Because his secretaries, Jia Xu, who has been with him for the longest time, are good at strategy and are not suitable to be prime ministers. As for the others, not only have they been in the court for a short time, but they are also too young and lack experience. It is indeed a bit inappropriate to put them in the position of prime minister now.

"Now that I am in a high position, I have experienced enough historical celebrities, that is, Hu Zhao, Cheng Yu and Lu Zhi. Then this time, I will have to choose one of them. ”

These three people were all born in the first imperial examination, one was a scholar, one was a squire, and the other was a governor. Although the qualifications are still a little worse, they have been in a high position for so many years, and they can barely be said. And the ability is also good, Hu Zhao has made the Dahan Highway and Railway everywhere over the years. Cheng Yu, who negotiated with foreign countries, has also made many contributions. As for Lu Zhi, he is still the founder of the one-stop office hall and a famous man, he can choose the place.

"Forget it, let's choose Hu Zhao!"

After thinking about it, Liu Hong made up his mind. And the reason why Liu Hong chose him is not only his evaluation in history, but also that his talent surpasses Zhuge Liang. is also because he is the highest official position among the three. After all, now they are both a little less qualified, and Hu Zhao, who has been a scholar for ten years, is obviously more able to suppress people than the other two. Even if Hu Zhao is dissatisfied, it is those old qualified first-class members, and other people will never dare to make trouble. In this way, the impact on government affairs can be minimized.

After the decision, Liu Hong informed Hu Zhao and told him to prepare for the election of prime minister. However, Liu Hong first asked him to keep it a secret for the time being, after all, he still had to continue to observe whether there were any major loopholes that needed to be filled.

Although Liu Hong asked him to keep it secret for the time being, Hu Zhao was still happy. You must know that Liu Hong informed him that if there is no major accident, then he will basically be the next prime minister. Let's not say that the prime minister is above 10,000 people under one person, and the power is all over the sky. Just looking at the fame won by Liu Qian, the prime minister who sat down for ten years, is irresistible to ordinary people.

People live for a lifetime, and what they want is nothing more than fame and fortune. As long as you sit in the position of prime minister, fame and fortune are at your fingertips. Hu Zhao is also a mortal, how can he not be excited.

However, Hu Zhao, in the end, has been a scholar for ten years, although his status is slightly lower than that of the prime minister, he is also a first-class member and ranks at the top. So, it didn't take long for him to calm down. However, at the same time, he also completely strengthened his determination to be loyal to Liu Hong.

After all, people have a conscience, Hu Zhao is an ordinary scholar, through the imperial examination, Liu Hong promoted him to a Shangshu at once, and he will be difficult to repay his kindness. And now, Liu Hong wants to promote him to prime minister and take charge of a country's political affairs. How much trust is this, how could Hu Zhao not be moved and make up his mind to be loyal.

Hu Zhao went back to prepare, and Liu Hong, who had determined the candidate, can finally enjoy the performances of those people with confidence.

In order to be the prime minister, many people do almost everything. What kind of gangs, rumors, slander opponents, stumbling blocks, etc., they catch what they do, and there is no bottom line at all. However, these methods have already been used once in the last election, so they are not new at all, and Liu Hong doesn't care about him. Because he feels that if he can't even deal with this little problem, such a person will be a drag on the country when he becomes the prime minister. Now, he completely regards this as the experience of the prime minister. What he was looking for now was a means that had not been seen before.

Don't say it, the hard work pays off, and you really let Liu Hong wait. Seeing that the day of the determination of the candidates is approaching, those who have not yet obtained the candidacy are anxious. After all, he can't even get past the first step, how can he be the prime minister. Therefore, as soon as they were ruthless, they began to spend money to ask people to sign and recommend this signature.

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Liu Hong almost laughed angrily, "Made, why are these guys so brainless." You need to spend money to get a candidacy, how can you become a prime minister at your level, isn't this throwing money out for nothing! ”

But Liu Hong's anger is not this, people are willing to throw money out, and Liu Hong can't care about it. Liu Hong was angry that he didn't make regulations for such a simple question, and now, he not only can't punish them, but also has to grit his teeth to agree with their candidacy.

Liu Hong is not stupid when he does this. The main reason is that he does not want to violate his original intention of understanding the law, and the law does not prohibit it. Since he didn't stipulate it at the beginning, and people did it, even if they knew it was immoral, but the law didn't stipulate it, they didn't break the law, and you couldn't punish others. Especially in this feudal society where the emperor is the main emperor, it is very simple for him to punish those people for this, and he can do it with a single order, but the legacy is left behind.

"Forget it, it's cheaper for them, anyway, even if they get the qualifications, they will definitely not be able to be prime ministers!"

Although Liu Hong recognized these qualifications. But that's not the case. Not only did he immediately make provision for this, but he also ordered that the matter be written on the bulletin boards of all the courts, so that the matter would be known so that the original purpose of the law might be understood.

After these things were done, Liu Hong announced his recommended quota, and then waited for the election to begin. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe (this site), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
