"Today, let's take this opportunity, I want to make a confession with you, Yang Dalang, we have been friends for many years, and I also treat you as a brother, I have considered the role and use of the Honor House since it was established, and it is because I have entrusted such an important position to you.

But since you took office, we all know what you have done, since we are brothers, let's let the past pass, don't mention it all, if you can really turn back, I will be very happy, and the old man will be greatly relieved.

But I have to ask you today what the Honors House should do to benefit the cause of our Weizhou and the entire Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Office, and tell me what you think. ”

Yang Yinyue's heart was also full of feelings for Li Bao's words. However, this time he made up his mind to do something, so for Li Bao's questioning, he immediately calmed down and thought carefully.

Yang Yinyue pondered for a long time playing with the folding fan in his hand, and finally he slowly spoke: "The king set up the Honor House, in a certain opinion, the king has two purposes, one is that the king uses it to win over those noble classes who surrender and submit to them, so that they can be used by us; The second is that the king wants to use this to check and balance other officials, and Weizhou's geographical status is too biased, and its influence and deterrence for other regions are insufficient. Therefore, the king set up the House of Honors to supervise and suppress the powerful officials, so as not to make them big and difficult to govern. ”

The two points that Yang Yinyue said basically touched Li Bao's heart. After he listened, he looked at Yang Yinyue approvingly, and continued: "Da Lang, although you are idle and indifferent, you can still see things very accurately, but I still have a deeper use for this honor house, and you haven't seen it yet." ”

"Oh, deep uses? Yinyue is dull, and she also asks the king for advice. Yang Yinyue said seriously.

"When I set up the House of Honors, I said that in addition to foreign nobles and celebrities, there are also large businessmen who can join it, have you ever thought about why?"

"A certain party just said that he wanted them to be used by us, but does the king have other deep meanings?"

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Shi farmers and industry have always been the standard of the national class, and the Shi is the helper of the country's ruling class, helping the monarch and herdsmen to govern the people; It is understandable that the status of the Yishi clan is high. ”

Yang Yinyue immediately nodded yes, and then said: "I understand: the country is agriculture-oriented, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the monarch has always attached great importance to it, and he has always attached importance to agriculture. It is also very important to make tools for the king and the people. These merchants are the best at management, buying low and selling high, making huge profits, although they are rich, they can't say anything in the court and the government, which will make them feel aggrieved. ”

Li Bao listened to Yang Yinyue's analysis, and immediately nodded: "What Da Lang said is extremely true, you can finally understand my intentions now." ”

"Well, the king wants these classes of Tang people to speak in our territory, and they are happy, so naturally they will be more interested in our Tang Dynasty, which is conducive to our rule. The king's move is very good, and a certain Yang Yinyue is obedient! ”

"Hehe, don't say anything about this sycophant, Yang Dalang, you can be so open-minded, what really surprised me. Throughout the ages, many questions that have been incomprehensible to the Ming monarch and important ministers have suddenly become enlightened here Yang Yinyue, which is really amazing! ”

Yang Yinyue was very helpful when he heard Li Bao's praise, he knew that Li Bao was easy not to praise people, so he immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for the praise, hehe." ”

"Now that you can understand my deep meaning, Yang Dalang, then what we need to do next is to establish a selection system for academicians of the Academy of Honors."

"Oh, I'd like to hear about it."

Li Bao took out a document from the desk and handed it to Yang Yinyue and said, "Here are some of the selection plans and systems I have sorted out, you can take a look first." ”

Yang Yinyue took the document, he swept it over, and understood that this document was the crystallization of Li Bao's hard work. He has done so much homework for the institution of the Honor House, which shows how much he values the Honor House.

Seeing Li Bao's painstaking appearance, the self-blame in his heart reappeared, but he understood that now that he had turned back and worked hard to change, Li Bao was still willing to believe in himself.

So he flipped through the document handed to him by Li Bao and read it carefully.

Li Bao saw Yang Yinyue's concentrated appearance, he felt a little satisfied in his heart, and he thought that if Master Yang knew that his only son could do things so hard, he would be happy.

Since Yang Yinyue was concentrating on studying Li Bao's information, he took out the case on the table, as the head of the huge Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Bao had too many things to review and approve.

Yang Yinyue looked at the information and encountered something he didn't understand, he immediately asked Li Bao, and Li Bao answered in detail, and introduced some of the content of limited democracy and autocracy commonly used in later generations to teach Yang Yinyue.

Li Bao taught this very advanced concept of democracy to the elites of this era, so that they could get in touch with these ideas earlier, although the ancient people were limited by the environment and educational conditions of the times, and did not produce the germ of democracy, but as the ruling class can understand a little ahead and be able to properly guide, then Li Bao and his descendants will rule the Tang Dynasty more easily in the future.

Li Bao was also doing an experiment when he taught Yang Yinyue these contents, he needed to test the acceptance of the Tang people first, and once he sat in the palace and ascended the throne in the future, he could elaborate his ideas and concepts step by step. This is also convenient for Li Bao's descendants to learn and accept it more conveniently.

In this way, most of the day passed, and through the communication between the two of them, both of them had a deeper understanding of how to rule more covertly and skillfully.

After Yang Yinyue returned, he immediately came to the official office of the Honors Academy, and sent people to convene a meeting of all the academicians of the Honors Academy in Weizhou, and the content of the meeting was naturally to convey the spirit he had learned from Li Bao and the decision to open the Honors Houses in various places.

At the same time, Yang Yinyue, as the head of the Weizhou Honor House and the Honor House system that will be formed, he has a very strange feeling, once this Honor House is formed, he will have a force that is enough to influence the political situation of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't this the ultimate ideal of the male husband I have always longed for?

Rokuro is actually relieved to hand over such a lot of power to himself, why is this? Does he really believe in himself like that? Yang Yinyue, who was determined to change her past wrongs, suddenly felt a pressure heavier than Mount Tai at this moment. makes him very nervous, does Rokuro want to work hard for the rest of his life?

A few years later, the first President of the House of Honors of the Holy Empire wrote in his memoirs: "I was puzzled as to why His Majesty was able to think so far about many things, and why he had always acted unexpectedly.

For example, when he appointed a certain person to be the president of the House of Honors who controlled the political situation of the empire, sometimes he was very suspicious that he would appoint such a willful person to this position just to repay his kindness.

Because what a certain did back then really can't be called this position, but His Majesty is very bold to put a certain in this position, and such a position also makes a certain person feel great pressure immediately when he wakes up, and has to be conscientious and cautious, from this point of view, a certain can finally realize that His Majesty is praised as Emperor Shenwu. This divine martial arts is clearly the best interpretation of the wise divine martial arts, with such a boss, no one will escape the fate of being driven by him. ”

Next, Yang Yinyue's actions were more rapid, first of all, Hezhou, Ruzhou, Qinzhou, Chengzhou and other prefectures and counties that were closer to Weizhou, Yang Yinyue got off the car and acted vigorously at the beginning, simply promoted personnel, opened an official office, and threw aside all the officials who blocked the car as a close friend of His Royal Highness King Qin, who did not accept his dispatch and was immediately dismissed, and if he did not ask for immediate imprisonment, for a while, the entire Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was caught off guard by Yang Yinyue's storm, and people were panicked. They really don't understand what the purpose of creating an idle organization is.

Of course, there are also some people who are full of ears and eyes, and they can see a little clue from Yang Yinyue's big move, and pass on their understanding in their own small circle.

Li Bao sat high in the palace, and through the two channels of Jin Luanwei and Shadow Guard, he continuously understood the voices of the officials and the people under his rule, and used this as the basis for his own implementation of new measures.

However, Yang Yinyue's vigorous and resolute behavior also caused some people's dissatisfaction, such as Chai Cun, the Weizhou inspector, who was very dissatisfied with Yinyue Langjun's behavior of expanding his territory and power with such fanfare, so he personally went to Li Bao's palace to meet Li Bao.

But after learning that Li Bao, the king of Qin, was the driving force behind Yang Yinyue's large-scale expansion of the Honor Academy, Chai Cun immediately stopped asking. As the deputy envoy of the inspection, Karondawa was very curious when he saw that his boss, who was still menacing at first, came back, so he took advantage of the time when the two were alone, and asked his boss the questions that puzzled him.

Chai Cun looked at the simple Karondawa, he smiled hard, and then said, "The heart of the king is really hard to guess. As a courtier, as long as you do your part, you can do your part, and not asking too much is the way to be an official for a long time. ”

Karondawa was even more puzzled by his boss's answer, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, these Tang people just don't talk happily, they always like to make some twists and turns, which is really unpleasant.

Li Bao didn't pay attention to Chai Cun's words, after all, as the lord, he didn't have to explain everything to his subordinates, this was the only way to maintain his authority and mystery as a superior. It is best for the courtiers to understand that, but they can't understand that being a monarch can wake them up, and if they can't understand it, then the monarch doesn't need to care about him anymore.

Excellent superiors need both smart subordinates and stupid subordinates, as long as they are used well, smart subordinates and stupid subordinates can make better results, and his current pursuit is to be an excellent superior, so that his subordinates can better contribute to themselves.
