After thinking about it, in fact, there is no need to think about it, the Yuan family at this time urgently needs Liu Hong's approval.

So Yuan Fengyi gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Changle is too servant of Hou Lan, his eyes are not on the king, he ignores the law of the country, he loses his honor in front of the king, the court is noisy, and he should be beheaded according to the law." ”

Yuan Feng's words were righteous Ling Ran, after all, this is not the time to pursue Hou Lanyu Township, but Yuan Feng said a lot, in fact, it is to show a meaning, you make the emperor unhappy, the emperor wants to kill you.

Hou Lan obviously knew what it meant, but he couldn't say anything, after all, in the imperial society, the majesty of the emperor was above all else. Especially some emperors who are so happy.

And Liu Hong has always flaunted himself as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although Liu Hong wanted to find a reason for his actions.

But the ministers in the court didn't know Liu Hong's reason, so he felt that Liu Hong was classified as one of the people of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although Hou Lan didn't know much about Liu Hong, but just from Yuan Feng just offended the queen mother and wanted to condemn himself, you can see Liu Hong's strength.

After all, the Yuan family is a big family with two or three dukes, even if Yuan Cheng dies due to rebellion, he can push four, five or six at once.

Hou Lan knew that Liu Hong was going to take a knife on himself, so as to divert the attention of the courtiers, so he rolled his eyes and said smartly, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister was excited for a while, and offended Your Majesty, and the minister is willing to take out half of the family's property to enrich the treasury." ”

Hou Lan said this because he had heard of Liu Hong's name of 'Emperor for Money', but he misunderstood Liu Hong.

Liu Hong raided his house to enrich the treasury, that was because that person had violated the law of the country, and raiding his house was just a punishment, and the previous emperors did the same, but they didn't say it as straightforwardly as Liu Hong said.

Moreover, Liu Hong disposed of the ministers of the court and used the method of confiscating half of the property, because the courtier was just a small mistake, and using this method was not overstepping.

However, now that Hou Lan is talking like this, it is clear that he wants to bargain with Liu Hong, this kind of thing is intolerable for the emperor, unless you are a close minister of the emperor, and the personal relationship with the emperor is very good.

So Liu Hong was furious, patted the case in front of him and shouted, "Why are you doing this?" Country market? On this temple, bargaining with the emperor of a country is not punishable. ”

"Intended purpose"

Yuan Shangshu ordered Yin Xun to hurriedly prepare the blank holy decree and pen and ink, and Liu Hong did not stop over there, after all, he did not say that the emperor would wait for the minister.

"Changle is too servant of Hou Lan, and he has no king, and he intends to blackmail the Son of Heaven, which is disloyal. It is rumored that it is the tomb of his biological mother, but his biological mother died at his hands, although it is a rumor, but there must be a reason for it, which is unfilial. During the official period, he was domineering and greedy, which was unkind. It is unjust to wantonly plunder the property of the government and the people. ”

"Such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person, how can he be a subordinate official of the Queen Mother and stand on top of the temple, this person is born and the people are angry, and it is not a pity to die. Therefore, the Changle servant Marquis was removed from his official position and removed his title. ”

At noon, he beheaded the public at the entrance of the vegetable market and raided his home. His family members and friends were handed over to Tingwei for trial. ”

After listening to Liu Hong's words, Hou Lan looked at Liu Hong above blankly, with a shocked face.

He really didn't expect that he, a character who had experienced the storms and waves during the Emperor Huan period, would be ruined because of a grass man who had no official position.

He really couldn't believe it, and then when the armor warrior outside the hall walked in, he shouted hysterically, "Liu Hong, you are a dumb king, you love money like life." In order to rob a certain family's wealth, you have harmed me on trumped-up charges, and you will die on money sooner or later. Woo woo woo ~ ~~ "

Later, Hou Lan was about to scream, but the armor covered his mouth, and he could only make a whining sound.

Liu Hong saw that Hou Lan insulted himself regardless of it, not only was he not unhappy, but he was a little relieved.

Because a Hou Lan can't divert his attention and rescue Cheng Yu safely in this era of exclusive Confucianism.

But now that Hou Lan's performance, Liu Hong can naturally choose to ignore it, although he can't let the courtiers completely forget about Cheng Yu, but Liu Hong doesn't mention it, who will take the initiative to mention it.

So Liu Hong pretended to be angry, snorted coldly, and said, "I'm tired, the matter of the palace test will be presided over by Hu Guang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the rest of the cabinet members will be assisted." ”

After speaking, Liu Hong turned around and left, leaving the court, leaving the courtiers who might attack Cheng Yu.

The five members of the cabinet said "No" to Liu Hong's back

Subsequently, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government and all the candidates knelt down and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

Cheng Yu glanced at the departing Liu Hong with his peripheral vision, he had calmed down at this time, and when he calmed down, he broke out in a cold sweat for his performance just now.

But Cheng Yu feels that he has gained more than anyone else, one is through Liu Hong's performance just now, so that Cheng Yu knows that Liu Hong is also going to change the law, and it may be more far-reaching than his own change.

Immediately, Cheng Yu thought of the decrees issued by Liu Hong in the past two months, all of which were reforms, but they were like spring rain, moisturizing things silently. This made Cheng Yu very embarrassed of himself, and a feeling of the emperor worthy of being the son of heaven emerged in his heart.

The second is that it is obvious that Liu Hong's court controls the strength, when Liu Hong spoke, no one dared to interject, and after Liu Hong decided the matter, no one dared to object.

If you meet Mingjun at this point, then the court must be clear, and the government will be clear. But if you meet the faint king, then the country will also die.

Cheng Yu is very fortunate that the current emperor is a wise monarch.

Just when Cheng Yu was thinking, Taifu Hu Guang took out the exam questions left by Li Hao after Liu Hong left.

After opening it, Hu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a stunned face, "The questions of this palace examination are the way of officials. ”

All the courtiers and candidates were stunned, for the way of officials?

What kind of exam question is this?

This is everyone's first thought, and Hu Guang is no exception.

But then I thought about it, but I felt that this topic was very profound, these ministers who have been officials all their lives.

Let them say the way of being an official at this time, and there may not be a few who can say it.

Only officials like Taifu Hu Guang, Sangong, and Jiuqing can say it, no, Jiuqing may not be able to say it all.

This kind of exam question makes the candidates who have never been an official very confused, because they don't think that as long as they write a few words of the saint, they can do it.

Although the exam questions puzzled the candidates, several people began to write hard, and Cheng Yu was one of them.

In fact, this question can also be said to be a political idea, and basically everyone has a political idea, but if it does not reach a certain position, and a heart for the country, it will not be discovered.

Later generations said that Qin Hui and He Shen were not good officials, but corrupt officials. But they fought for their own political ideas.

Qin Hui killed Yue Fei and advocated peace talks, but in fact, it was just because Qin Hui thought that the Song Dynasty was still the opponent of the Jin State at that time and wanted to recuperate.

But he didn't expect that the Jin State didn't give him a chance, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty didn't have the heart to try his courage.

He Shen is indeed a corrupt official, but during his tenure as an official, the treasury of the Braided Dynasty tripled, and after He Shen was raided by Jiaqing, the treasury doubled again.

It can be said that the reason why Qianlong is so rich and a loser is that one is the foundation left by his father Yongzheng, and the other is the big corrupt official He Shen's way of making money.

At this time, Liu Hong used such an exam question to find out a few talents that can be focused on cultivating.

The selection of talents who can be focused on training is equivalent to today's candidates for reserve cadres.

ps: The matter of Qin Hui and Heshen who don't write about it is just a statement I saw on TV before, and it can't be true. Qin Hui's original words were, "You Yue Fei want to go north to welcome back the Second Emperor, so where will you put the current saint?" This is not the time to go north, and money and grain should be collected to enrich the treasury. ”

said that He Shen's words were seen from "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", and I can't remember the original words.

Well, don't scold me for not being me.
