Before the Guangwu year, Confucianism was respected.

Both officials and officials were controlled by Confucianism.

In such an era, if you want to implement the "moral government" of Confucianism, it stands to reason that you should entrust the government to Confucianism.

In the reign of Emperor Guangwu, although Confucianism and Taoism flourished, the officialdom changed dramatically.

A move of "retiring meritorious officials and entering the scribes" nominally promoted a large number of low-level scribes, but the world did not know that the proportion of Confucian scholars among these scribes was not high

These scribes are good at "criminal theory" and "law", rather than Confucian scriptures, and govern political affairs with "experience" rather than "classics".

This fundamentally returns to the state of "overlord and miscellaneous" in the Western Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a strange phenomenon appeared:

Whether it is high in the temple or far away from the rivers and lakes, people respect Confucianism.

However, when it comes to the issue of officials and officials in specific details, a wonderful picture of what is said and what is done is not the same.

The "you say yours, I'll do mine" approach is starting to catch on.

The idealists are on top and the pragmatists are bowing down, forming a very harmonious political picture.

However, the good times were short-lived!

When the top-level scribes lived in the temple for a long time, the family group formed gradually sank, and then merged with the increasingly formed land annexation group, and things deteriorated.

to the end.

Emperor Ling's major move of "selling official beards" dealt a fatal blow to the original good governance, and the abolition of Shi Limu completely poured oil on the heart of the careerist......

Before that.

Confucianism and officials are still two distinct groups that do not deal with each other.

Confucianism emphasized culture and academics, and officials emphasized political measures, so there was a clear distinction between economics and politics.

After this.

Jingshu began to attack politics in a big way, and Confucianism also began to infiltrate the officials.

Until now, there are many mountains inside the officials, each with their own affiliation and subordination.

So much so that a certain hill gave an order...... No, just by making a look, the court of Jiuqing can be completely paralyzed in form.

The disadvantages of Yushi's loss of power and lack of performance appraisal were completely exposed.

……

"Oh? It's interesting. ”

Liu Wei held the piece presented by Lu Zhi himself, and read thousands of words carefully twice before putting it down.

He knew that the trick of "forcing the palace" would come, but he didn't expect it to come so late.

It is precisely the officials of the two dynasties who are not connected, which is just right.

Looking at Lu Shangshu, who was indignant, Liu Wei, who had been mentally prepared, was not very angry.

"Everyone else has three or two confidants, but Lu Shangshu doesn't have it? If they don't do it, they will borrow one or two people to come over and support it. ”

Lu Zhi was stunned when he said this, and looked up, but Liu Wei did not beat him, did not leave a blank, but continued to speak.

"If they are still like this, then it is just right, don't do it in the future, Lu Shangshu should also set up some honest people to clean the house."

This is an understatement, but Lu Zhi's heart is full of ups and downs, and there are many huge earthquakes!

The words are so deep that there is no concealment, if this is not to treat Lu Zhi as his own, then there is no other way to say.

The old ministers of the two dynasties actually had a heart of liver and brain for a while!

After the emotions passed, I realized that I had experienced too much during this time, so that my spirit and spirit were a few years younger, and even this mind was young.

That's not good.

He was thinking here, but Liu Wei finished his words and threw out a question.

"What henchmen does Lu Qing have? Despite the recommendation, I can trust it. ”

"Not really." Lu Zhi blurted out.

The corners of Liu Wei's mouth were slightly raised, "Oh? Really not? ”

Only then did Master Shang Shu realize that his old officialdom's mistake of speaking with seven points had been committed again, and he said a little sneeringly:

"But there is no one in the DPRK."

Speaking of this, Lao Shangshu himself almost burst out laughing.

"Gongsun Bogui had some classics with my subordinates when he was young, but he had more experience in the north and less government affairs, but he couldn't help much."

"When I lived in the countryside, I also taught a lot, and I had some talents. However, the master often said that there is no class in teaching, and his talent can be cultivated, but his background is difficult to cultivate, and now he does not know ......"

Speaking of this, Lao Shangshu sighed.

There are many talented scholars among the disciples, but they are trapped in the lack of access to the government, and most of those people have been buried until now.

Of course, Liu Wei knows Lu Zhi's character.

Otherwise, with his status and merits, it would not be easy to promote a few disciples to the official position when he was in the middle of the day?

Gongsun Zhan, the only one who came out of the door, is still a second-generation official from a wealthy family, and the others are not touched by the scenery of the slightest teacher, which can be seen from the old gentleman's uprightness.

"In this case, Lu Qing made a list, and I sent someone to investigate. If it is true as said, it will be tried by the DPRK and China, and it will not be in vain for Lu Aiqing's hard work. ”

"The subordinate disciple thanked Your Majesty."

When Lu Zhi heard this, he was both surprised and happy in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and made a big salute.

Just standing up straight, the melancholy resurfaced on his face.

"Your Majesty, this is a long-term plan, and it can't solve the immediate worries. The priority now is not to simply promote talent. At this time, the Shangshu Mansion is vacant, and the society is in danger of being upside down, if you don't do the thunder strike, I am afraid that its disaster will be unpredictable! ”

Liu Wei naturally knew that far water could not quench his thirst, so he asked rhetorically:

"Has Lu Qing taught me?"

Lu Zhi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"If this matter is not dealt with strictly, there will be one and there will be two. This time it's Shangshufu, next time it's Da Si Nong, Da Honglu, will it be Guangluxun in the end? ”

"Well, that's right." Liu Wei nodded.

"The minister is here to ask for an edict this time. Please send a few loyal and available imperial doctors and officials to call the ministers. The minister will go back, visit each household one by one, and if there is a deception and delay, he will be dealt with severely! ”

"When the government office is reopened, the minister will move to the office for a while, and he will definitely bring back their bad habits before he comes to see Your Majesty!"

This is also a solution, but it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

But it's also a good way to get in the current situation.

In his position, he has nothing to do with other courtiers, and he can do this, which can be regarded as exhausting.

However, Liu Wei didn't want to exhaust the old minister who he had managed to get back back to death.

"This method can solve the urgent need, but the people who don't follow the heart, how diligent can they be?"

"With the old ministers here, let them do things honestly!"

As he spoke, Lao Lu's temper came up, and Liu Wei hurriedly spoke to appease.

"This can't be helped, if I let the courtiers move to live in the government office, I, the emperor, will not be blamed and killed by Lu Qing's wife?"

"How dare she!?" Lu Zhi obviously lacked confidence in what he said, so he added, "The old wife has always been considerate, and she will not be bothered by this." ”

Liu Wei smiled, families are different, but you don't need to know too much about other people's family affairs.

So he leaned forward and said:

"Lu Qing can, but others can't, this temporary plan can cure a temporary emergency, but it can't be used without permission."

After speaking, he beckoned to Lu Zhi and motioned for him to come closer.

"I have an idea, say it and talk to Lu Qing."

"Oh? How's that to be thought? ”

"That'...... Naturally, let them come back to work willingly......"
