"I asked you to come to hear your opinion on Kyocha. Which of you says first? In the imperial study, Li Xin looked at Cen Wenwen and the eldest grandson Wuji in front of him, smiling, these two people are the younger ministers in the Wude Palace, and they will become his right-hand men for a long time in the future, so Li Xin is ready to give these two people a chance.

Jingcha is a sharp weapon, it holds high the banner of justice, stirs up trouble in the court, strikes at the enemy, and excludes dissent. You must know that not everyone of these officials is honest and honest, there are those who are corrupt and pervert the law, there are those who are careless of people's lives, there are those who are poor in personal morality, and there are those who are mediocre and incompetent.

Jingcha is a sharp sword suspended above the heads of these officials, which can be chopped down at any time. But who it is chopped on, or how many people can be beheaded, it depends on the identity of the person who presides over Jingcha. This time, Li Xin decided to hold a Jingcha, and the host was to choose one person from Cen Wenwen and the eldest grandson Wuji. It's just that he wants to hear the opinions of the two of them about the strength of Jingcha, and even Li Xin himself is not sure about the strength of Jingcha this time.

This big killer Li Xin hopes to deter those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, mediocre and incompetent people, kill a group, expel a group, but can not destroy the stability of the imperial court, Li Xin also needs these officials to continue to serve himself, just unified the world, there is still a lot of lack of officials, if it is not for the policy of Guanzhong to implement the world, eradicate the influence of the previous dynasty and the Li family, Li Xin may not be so anxious to implement Jingcha. In the final analysis, it is to start from the officialdom and rapidly increase the national strength.

"Since it is Jingcha, then thoroughly investigate, from the Wude Hall scholars to the six small officials are the targets of Jingcha, and those who violate the laws of the imperial court and violate private morality will either be demoted or held accountable. Those who have meritorious service and outstanding ability should be commended. Eldest Sun Wuji said without hesitation.

"The minister thought that there was still a lack of officials in the court. Your Majesty employs people, first of all, their ability, and then their virtue. Those with outstanding ability, although their personal morality is at a loss, as long as they do not violate the laws of the imperial court, they are not impossible to open the net. Cen Wenwen said unhurriedly.

"There is a loss of private morality, that is, there is a loss, the court governs the world, the first thing is its virtue, if the virtue is not enough. How can we do things for the people? Although his ability is good, he is a person without virtue, how can a person without virtue expect him to be loyal to the Son of Heaven? The eldest grandson Wuji retorted with some dissatisfaction.

This is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to plant people and fight the enemy, neither Changsun Wuji nor Cen Wenji want to give up, which causes Cen Wenwen and Changsun Wuji to have different views, one values his talent and the other values his morality. Even Li Xin doesn't know what to do. According to the reason, officials must first be virtuous, so that they can have benevolence, and only with benevolence can they treat the people well. Helping the king to govern the world, if he is a person without virtue, even if he is talented, will have an impact on the common people. But some officials are virtuous. But it is not possible to govern the locality.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are treated as special in special times. Among the officials, most of them are children of families, and most of these people are people with no talent and no virtue. The minister will start from this aspect first, and as for whether there is talent or virtue, or there is no talent, it will be discussed separately. Cen Wenwen thought about it and changed his approach.

Li Xin nodded, undoubtedly compared to the strong personality of the eldest grandson Wuji, Cen Wenwen is better at being a person, in terms of Jingcha, Cen Wenwen's attitude in dealing with officials, whether it is an official from a family or a poor family, can be accepted.

"Well, I'll think about it seriously, and I have my own holy decree when I turn around." Li Xin nodded, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Auxiliary, I'm going to let you go to Luoyang and preside over the autumn there, are you willing?" ”

Qiu Qiu is the last examination before the Tang Dynasty imperial examination, in the academy has not yet been fully built, Qiu Qiu occupies a very important aspect, it selects students called Juren, can be officials, eat the imperial court, is the last obstacle of the last Spring Gong Dabi, very important.

"Obey." The eldest grandson Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, from this sentence, it can be heard that Li Xin has already chosen the person who presides over Jingcha, but he still has other compensations for himself, and even makes himself happier than presiding over Jingcha, presiding over Qiuqiu, which will be a great credit, and more importantly, those students who participate in Qiuqiu will form a relationship with Changsun Wuji, you must know that these students will be the pillars of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and for them who have just entered the officialdom, the leader is Changsun Wuji. This will have an immeasurable impact on his own leadership of the Wude Hall in the future.

Of course, he also knew that Li Xin let himself be the chief examiner of Qiuqiu, mainly for the sake of Li Chengzong, the king of the Han Dynasty, Li Chengzong wanted to inherit the Jiangshan Sheji, if there was no one around him to help, sooner or later he would be pulled down by other princes, Li Xin was looking for talents for his son openly.

"Your Majesty, the minister is worried about Pei Lin and the others." Cen Wenwen suddenly took a deep breath and said.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for such courtiers to stay in the court at all, and the minister suggests that they be completely expelled from the court." Before Li Xin could speak, the eldest grandson Wuji began to speak. He said disdainfully: "They are all a group of stupid people, they don't talk about anything on weekdays, and the key is that they don't have any ability at all." This is true both in the former dynasty and in the Li family. Such a person still has the face to be an official, so I'm afraid that millions of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty will not agree. ”

"Your Majesty"

"No need, what the auxiliary machine said is very true, what ability and merit does Pei Lin have, and he also wants a knighthood?" Li Xin also said dissatisfiedly: "It's already very good for me to be a Hanlin bachelor, it's very noble, it's okay to fish, sing songs, and drink wine, isn't it good?" I still want a knighthood, but I Datang got the knighthood before, and they haven't reached this point yet. ”

"Yes." Cen Wenwen sighed when he heard this, in fact, although he hated these people very much, he still wanted to persuade Li Xin to canonize some false positions casually, so that he could appease everyone, these guys can't do anything, but it's okay to make trouble. However, Li Xin obviously didn't want to see these guys. So I refused without hesitation.

After the two left, Li Xincai sighed and pressed his eyebrows, he is the emperor, but he can't be arbitrary in everything, and sometimes he has to make compromises and balances. Just like just now Cen Wenwen and Eldest Sun Wuji were in charge of one thing. (To be continued.) )
