"Your Highness, Your Majesty thinks that there is one person who is quite suitable. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Fu Yuanxia raised his eyes, met everyone's eyes, stood up and said, "Xia Guan thinks that the next doctor, Xie Zi, can serve as the secretary. ”

Doctor Xia is the title of Xie Zi, the title of the princes in the Warring States Period, from high to low, divided into three categories: Qing, doctor, and scholar.

Qing is divided into Shangqing, Yaqing, and Xiaqing, doctors are divided into elders, upper doctors, middle doctors, and lower doctors, and sergeants are divided into sergeants, sergeants, and corporals.

Titles and official positions are two different titles, but because some ministers of the court and the central government did not have an official position, the ancients would also refer to them by titles.

Xie Zi, Chang Yu has also heard of it, Xie Zi is an old minister of the Nanyang faction close to Zi Zhongzhong, he is not old-hearted, he often goes to Qunfang Courtyard to listen to music, and retreats at night, he is a well-known merry old man.

"No." Qi Rui stood up, shook his head, and said, "Although Xie Zi is the highest doctor, he is mostly favored by his ancestors, and he has no great talent, so it is difficult for him to be worthy of the position of Sikou. ”

"What Lord Xiangguo said is reasonable, but the officials are abrupt." When Fu Yuanxia saw Qi Rui refutating, he didn't insist, his attitude was respectful, and he said yes again and again.

In response to Fu Yuanxia's reaction, Qi Rui frowned, waved his hand and said, "Lord Sima, I have been working with colleagues in various departments for a while, and I have already told you that when we dispute the affairs of the DPRK and China, there is no need to be formal, let alone polite. ”

Fu Yuanxia said yes again and again, and Qi Ruicai said, "Although Xie Zi is not qualified for this position, Qi Mou thinks of another person, but ......"

Qi Rui said and glanced at Zi Nanyang.

"Lord Xiangguo is talking about Yin Ping?" Zi Nanyang asked suddenly.

"Your Highness, the person that the lower officials think of is Sergeant Yin Ping, although Yin Ping is a sergeant, he does have real talents, he remembers the laws of my defense of the country like a stream, and he is not rigid when encountering problems, and he is not confined to rules and regulations. Qi Rui said as he looked at Zi Nanyang.

Zhou Shi listened, stretched out a fan in his hand, and said, "I heard that Yin Ping is the son-in-law of Kangqing, the Duke of Pingguo, if Yin Ping takes the position of Sikou, the Kang family's power in the court will expand, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to His Royal Highness." ”

Qi Rui glanced at Zi Nanyang again, and replied to Zhou Zhi, "What Mr. said is exactly what Qi is worried about, but if you judge it in terms of ability alone, among the ministers in the court, Yin Ping is indeed the best candidate." ”

Zi Nanyang finally spoke and said, "I'm afraid that Lord Xiangguo has forgotten one person. ”

When Qi Rui heard this, he pondered for a while, and said in confusion, "Could it be that His Highness is talking about the son of Yaqing Wei Zhe, Wei Pei?" If Wei Pei is also involved in the competition for the position of Sikou, it is indeed very possible for Wei Zhe to serve as the secretary of the court with Wei Zhe's status as the Yaqing and the minister of the DPRK who supports the second son. ”

Zi Nanyang glanced at everyone and continued to ask, "Other than that, are there any other candidates?" ”

Qi Rui glanced at each other with the third division, and then counted out a few people, all of whom were denied one by one, and several people were silent for a moment, obviously unable to find other suitable candidates.

Chang Yu remembered what Xiangguo said at the beginning, in Xiaowei Kingdom, there are three big families who occupy most of the positions and titles in the court. The three families are the Zinan family, the Kang family and the Wei family.

Among them, the Kang family was originally the founding family of the country, and the earliest Wei Wang was the Kang family. However, due to the decline of the Kang clan, the Zinan clan later replaced the Kang clan and became the lord of the country.

Despite this, the Kang tree has deep roots and still occupies a lot of power in the DPRK.

The other family, the Wei family, is the least powerful of the three families, and it is the closest to the second son, Nan Yan, and is also standing in the second son's line in the court.

Therefore, among the three candidates discussed just now, although Yin Ping is the best candidate, he is a member of the Kang family, and Wei Pei is the most likely to serve as Si Kou, but he is a person from the second son's line, only Xie Zi, although he is from the first line of Zi Nanyang, he is the most unsuitable candidate.

Although the position of Si Kou is vacant, all parties will definitely compete to send their own people to fight for it, if Zi Nanyang's people do not compete for this position, they will help the power of the Kang family or the second son, which Zi Nanyang does not want to see.

But on Zi Nanyang's side, there is indeed no good candidate, although Qi Rui also knows this, but if he considers this issue from the perspective of Weiguo as a whole, he is obviously biased towards choosing Yin Ping in his heart.

This is the crux of this problem.

Just when everyone was silent, Chang Yu's heart moved, and he took the initiative to say, "Your Highness, if there is no candidate in the court, can you choose a suitable candidate from the people to take up this position?" ”

"From the populace?" Zi Nanyang was slightly puzzled and asked, "Brother Chang, how do you think you can find a suitable candidate in the future?" ”

"The position of the priest is in charge of the penal law, and it is necessary to be very familiar with the law, and at the same time, the person who serves as the priest must be upright in heart and upright." Chang Yu said, observing Zi Nanyang carefully.

Chang Yu saw that Zi Nanyang only nodded slightly, so he continued, "If you want to find a suitable candidate, you can rely on searching and looking one-on-one, but it is not easy, it is better to post a notice and announce the vacancy of the position of Sikou, and compete fairly with the people, regardless of the identity and status of the applicants. ”

During the Warring States Period, most of the people who posted notices came to solicit customers, but there was no precedent for those who applied for official positions, Qi Rui heard Chang Yu's idea, and couldn't help asking, "Fair competition, what kind of competition law should I have?" ”

"The implementation of a competitive system for official positions, through the written examination and interview, the selection of talents, the written test to test the candidate's familiarity with the law, the interview can test the candidate's character, the specific examination method, can be discussed in detail." Chang Yu said.

"That's a good idea!" Qi Rui exclaimed.

But Chang Yu found that Zi Nanyang heard Qi Rui's admiration and nodded, Chang Yu certainly understood the thoughts of this eldest prince in his heart, so he continued, "Of course, in the examination and interview process, Lord Xiangguo and His Royal Highness serve as examiners, so they can naturally choose the right candidate in their hearts. ”

When Zi Nanyang heard Chang Yu say, "You can choose the right person in your heart", his eyes lit up, he didn't know what it meant, nodded again and again, and laughed, "Brother Chang's move is wonderful!" In this way, the problem of the position of the coward is solved! Early tomorrow morning, I will go into the palace to meet my father and put forward my brother's method! ”

Of course, everyone also understood what it meant, and they all praised it.

Having solved the problem in front of him, Zi Nanyang was very happy and drank a few more cups with everyone.

But at this time, Chang Yu was tired in his heart.

When he first met Zi Nanyang in Qunfang Courtyard, Chang Yu thought that Zi Nanyang was a person who was dedicated to defending the country, was broad-minded, and was a virtuous corporal, but after this day of getting along, Chang Yu had a good impression of Zi Nanyang in his heart, which was greatly reduced.

When he was in Qunfang Courtyard that day, Zi Nanyang learned that he was able to meet Bai Yueyao and everyone, and Zi Nanyang's reaction was a little unnatural, obviously because he cared about this matter in his heart.

Later, Zi Nanyang learned his identity as a member of the Guigu Gate, and was mentioned by Wan Zhang that the disciples of the Guigu Valley were chaotic with their peers, although Zi Nanyang was still very enthusiastic, Chang Yu could also feel several changes in the other party's attitude.

Now, in the matter of Si Kou, Zi Nanyang does not have Qi Rui's mind as a prime minister, and he still takes the interests of the DPRK and China as the starting point to consider suitable candidates.

Zi Nanyang's self-interest is too heavy, and he still has to be more careful when serving such a master.

After Si Kou's matter was decided, Zi Nanyang was overjoyed, and after three rounds of wine, everyone talked about the art of governing the country again.

Wan Zhang was originally a close disciple of Mencius, and of course he was good at this way, and talked about "the benevolence of the king", which was endless. Xun Qing advocated the "art of the emperor", mentioning how the monarch clamped down and managed the ministers, which opened everyone's eyes.

Chang Yu also put forward some of his own opinions, which were appreciated by everyone.

Unconsciously, it was late at night, after the banquet dispersed, Zi Nanyang invited Chang Yu to live in the house, and leave tomorrow, Chang Yu did not shirk, after a thank-you, under the leadership of the next person, to live in his bedroom.
