Li Xuan's blatant accusation made Master Kong very embarrassed, his cheeks were slightly red, his breathing was heavy, and he looked annoyed and angry, but he was speechless. This is because Li Xuan's identity is not ordinary, he is the first minister of the new dynasty, a very popular minister, and he is really above ten thousand people under one person, and his authority is by no means comparable to those of them who teach.

In other words, these Confucians, they can still rely on the old and sell the old in front of the monarch Li Li, and it is harmless to complain occasionally. After all, Li Li is the king of a country, and he has the capacity to tolerate people, and he will not have disputes with the world-famous Confucians, let alone condemn them.

But Li Xuan is different. He and Kong Rong and others have almost no intersection, and there is no conflict of interest, and they usually treat each other politely when they meet each other, but once they put their hands into Li Xuan's bowl and point fingers and make irresponsible remarks about the officials selected by the ministry, Li Xuan will not be polite to them, and will definitely refute them mercilessly and resolutely, and will suppress them if necessary.

At this time, the reason why Li Xuan dared to refute Kong Rong confidently was because the problem was not with him, but because there was a reason.

In addition, Kong Rong, Cai Yong and others did not know that the promotion of generals by the army had nothing to do with him Li Xuan. With the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department, the military and political circles of Xiliang have formed their own systems, although the two systems are not perfect, but there is already a rudimentary form of separating the military and the government. Take the rewarded ministers not long ago, the civil official system is subordinate to the Ministry of Officials, and all the civil officials who have been rewarded are through the hands of Li Xuan. He drafted the candidates and then submitted them to Li Li for review. And the military general system is not under his jurisdiction. It is completely dominated by Jia Xu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the other six military ministers draw up the reward level according to the military merits in the merit book.

Furthermore. The battalion commanders and adjutant generals also have the power to recommend the generals under their accounts. The selection and appointment of all military generals do not need to be reviewed by the Ministry of Officials, and only need to be filed with the Ministry of Officials. The selection of civilian officials and military generals can only be determined through collective deliberation and discussion by the Military Aircraft Department, during which Li Li's will occupies an absolutely dominant position, and the one-vote veto system is worthy of the name. One of the most typical is that Kong Rong said that none of the civil officials of Tai Academy have been promoted and rewarded.

In fact, there are more than 100 students from Taiqing College on the list of rewarded civil officials submitted by Li Xuan, among which the one with the heaviest reward can be directly promoted to the position of Jiuqing, which is actually the first official to worship Jiuqing in the 12 years since the establishment of Tai Academy. But because Li Li said lightly: "The civil officials of the Tai Academy are not included in this reward." Leave it to a later date. It was this sentence that completely blocked the promotion path of the civil officials of the Tai Academy, so when the great feudal ministers were made two months ago, none of the students sent by these colleges were conferred, and all of them were excluded.

If it weren't for Li Li speaking personally, Li Xuan wouldn't have dared to check off the promotion list of more than a hundred Tai Academy students even if he had the courage to do so. However, since Li Li has spoken, then he Li Xuan has nothing to fear, so he is full of confidence when facing Kong Rong's questioning, and he is not afraid of this Confucian descendant at all. Even he felt that Kong Rong was too pedantic, although he was called a contemporary Confucian. But they don't understand the world, they are too superficial and paranoid in their consideration of problems, and they look at many problems too simply.

In contrast, Cai Yong seems reasonable. The mind is far more meticulous than Kong Rong. You must know that Cai Yong has been looking for Li Li every day recently, and he has been nagging endlessly. However, he never mentioned the unfair treatment of the students of Tai Academy, as if he turned a blind eye. Turn a deaf ear to. Only Kong Rong has been thinking about this matter, like a fish in his throat and not vomiting unhappy. So he brought it up when Li Li was inspecting the college.

It's just a matter of bringing it up, but there is something wrong with the tone of his speech, obviously he has something to ask for, but he says it in a questioning tone. In this way, it was inconvenient for Li Li to accuse Kong Rong in person, but Li Xuan did not have so many scruples, and immediately stood up to refute Kong Rong.

Seeing the tension between Li Xuan and Kong Rong, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, Hua Tuo immediately stepped forward to solve the siege: "Wenju must not be angry, just talk about things, not a battle of will." After appeasing Kong Rong, Hua Tuo said to Li Xuan: "Yuan Zhong also please calm his anger, Wenju is not deliberately aimed at you, let alone accuse the officials of being unfair, it is completely to worry about the future of those students, worrying that they will be in a state of decline since then, misleading others and themselves." This is a public heart, not a selfish interest, and I hope that Yuan Zhong will see it. ”

Hua Tuo came forward to round the scene, and Li Xuan naturally had to give face: "Mr. is serious." We also told the truth, not intentionally accusing Wen Jugong. Sir must also know that the recent reward of the ministers involved more than 2,000 civil and military officials, and it is inevitable that some officials will be omitted, and it will not be possible to do everything to the satisfaction of everyone. Therefore, all awards are drawn up after a detailed assessment of the promotion list, which is carefully considered and discussed by the Military Aircraft Department, and then reviewed and approved by His Majesty, and finally determined. So ??????"

"Hehehe! Yuan Zhong doesn't need to say more, this matter is what I mean, and it has nothing to do with you. Without waiting for Li Xuan to finish speaking, Li Li interrupted him with a smile. While speaking, Li Li sat down slowly, and waved his hand to signal Li Xuan to sit down, obviously he couldn't leave for a while, and if he didn't make this matter clear, Kong Rong would not stop there. Kong Rong is this temper, stubborn and stubborn, he loves everything more seriously, and he must ask and figure out what he believes, otherwise he will not let go, and the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking to the end is the same as Cai Yong.

When Li Li sat down, Cai Yong poured him a cup of tea with his own hands and handed him the teacup, but he didn't say a word, just looked at Kong Rong, who was standing under the hall with a stiff neck. Reaching out to take the teacup, Li Li understood what Cai Yong meant, it was nothing more than interceding for Kong Rong, and asking Li Li to save him some face, if he could say a few more words of comfort, it would be great. This is the amount of tea Cai Yong poured him a cup of tea.

Cai Yong rarely poured tea for Li Li, and Li Li had always poured tea for his old man, even if he was an emperor. Therefore, the amount of tea that Old Man Cai offered him was not light, not only did he give Kong Rong a step down, but also explained why the civil officials of Tai Academy were treated differently. This is why Cai Yong has this weight. He is the only one in the world who can make Li Li unable to refuse, nor can he refuse his request.

Let's not talk about Cai Yong marrying his daughter Cai Yan to him. It is said that Li Li was idle at home back then, but he had nothing to do in the name of school captain. wanted to be on his own, but no one spoke for him in front of Dong Zhuo. didn't admit it, but Cai Yong helped him a lot when he was most difficult, and he hid it from him in advance, and he didn't know how shrewd Cai Yong was until the matter was done. This kindness is enough for Li Li to remember for a lifetime, and no matter how you repay him, it is not too much.

It was Cai Yong's strong recommendation that gave Li Li the opportunity to be independent, at least allowing him to work hard for three to five years. At the age of seventeen, he was appointed to the position of county guard, which was the first person in the history of the Han Dynasty. This is a real send-off in the snow, so that Li Li will never forget his kindness for the rest of his life.

It is precisely because of this that after Dong Zhuo was stabbed to death, Li Li could not care about the life or death of others, but he could not help but save Cai Yong. Or because of Cai Yong, after Li Li occupied Chang'an, he buried Dong Zhuo with the grace of a prince, and had to treat the officials of the Manchu Dynasty with courtesy, and treat the Han Emperor Liu Xiehe and the royal family members well.

Today. It is already difficult to tell between Li Li and Cai Yong who has achieved whom. Without Cai Yong's recommendation, Li Li would not have been able to go all the way smoothly, and the whole process would have become more and more bumpy, or even difficult. From this point of view. Cai Yong has a great kindness to him, so big that Cheng Dù is unrequited. But if it weren't for Li Li's full rescue, Cai Yong would have been executed by Wang Yun as early as after Dong Zhuo's death. As a result, he passed away completely, and there was no more Cai Yong in the world. Look at Cai Yong's lofty status and fame now. He was the first dean of Chang'an Tai Academy, and he was also a lieutenant. Ranked first among the three dukes, all the civil officials and military generals who came out of the Tai Academy were from his disciples. He enjoys an incomparably high status among all the scholars, and his reputation among the powerful families is even higher than that of Li Li.

Nowadays, Cai Yong is truly famous all over the world, with high fame and respect, which can be compared with Li Li. Therefore, he is the only Wensheng Taidou in the Western Jin Dynasty who can sit on an equal footing with Li Li.

Strictly speaking, Cai Yong has the grace of knowing Li Li, but Li Li also has the grace of knowing him. He helped Li Li achieve the hegemony of the emperor, and Li Li also made him a master of the literary world and a banner of contemporary Confucian scribes. So the relationship between them is complex and close, and they have been supporting each other and interdependent for many years.

?????? A cup of tea is a memory, and a cup of tea can trigger infinite thoughts. Holding the tea cup handed by Cai Yong, Li Li felt a lot of emotion and thoughts.

In fact, he knew very well why Cai Yong had been going to the palace all day long to talk to him recently, because Cai Yong had come forward to find him in person, and the rest of the Tai Academy would not have to go anymore. It was Cai Yong who was actually sharing his worries and maintaining a stable situation at the beginning of the new dynasty, not wanting him to be disturbed by the trivial matters of the Tai Academy, so as to block the words of Kong Rong and others, so that the new dynasty could be smoothly transitioned for a period of time after its establishment.

However, Cai Yong can block it for a while, but he can't intercept it for a lifetime. Sooner or later, procrastination will not solve the problem, and facing it calmly is the only way to solve the problem.

After thinking for a while, Li Li put down the teacup and said with a calm expression: "Tai Academy has been renamed the Royal Academy, and all the students who go out of this academy are the protégés of the Son of Heaven, from my disciple Li Li. Since they are protégés of the Son of Heaven, they don't have to worry about their careers and prospects after they come out, I have my own arrangements. However, since Wen Jugong asked again and again, I simply made it clear in front of the princes, saving the princes from being uneasy and always thinking about it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li's voice paused, his expression became extremely strict, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not easy to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, although his status is noble, he can't enjoy the privileges he deserves. Otherwise, once the protégés of the Son of Heaven can enjoy special treatment, it will be unfair to other scholars in the world. Therefore, for the sake of fairness, in a month Chang'an will hold the first imperial examination after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which must be attended by all civil officials who have been elected within three years, and all students who have completed their studies must also take the examination, and only those who pass the examination will be able to take the examination.

From now on, all those who are recommended must be meritorious ministers with the title of Marquis to be eligible to recommend, and the system of recommendation and joint sitting will be implemented, and whoever recommends will be responsible; Those recommended by those with outstanding political achievements are commended together, and those recommended by mediocre and incompetent people are punished together. Immediately, Li Li didn't give Cai Yong, Kong Rong and others time to think at all, so he gave out the detailed rules and dishes of the imperial examination, and then didn't stay any longer, got up and left.
