The new emperor is in a bad mood, and his temper is not very good.

He was obviously going to be angry when he didn't have a good temper.

The civil and military forces of the imperial court had just changed a group of people, and he couldn't be angry at these new officials, but the new emperor found some good punching bags.

For example, Dongfang Shuo.

"Come on, put up all the bamboo slips that bribed the officials!"

The new emperor commanded.

A moment later, twenty stout eunuchs began to carry bamboo slips into the hall.

The new emperor glanced at it, and saw that these bamboo slips were either wrapped around half a tael of coins, or sandwiched with half a tael, and there was no shortage of people with broken gold and silver.

"He's hiding it tightly!"

Twenty eunuchs carried ten batches of bamboo slips into the palace, of which nine batches of bamboo slips were mixed with money, and another batch of bamboo slips was big and thick and tied tightly, but the appearance could not be seen to hide gold and silver.

The new emperor complained, and he didn't know how much money Zhang Xuezhou had mixed in.

However, Zhang Xuezhou bribed a lot of bamboo slips, accounting for almost one-tenth of the bamboo slips of these bribes and seekers.

"Count all the money mixed in those bamboo slips, and then write down the amount and name of the money!"

"Yui!"

The eunuchs responded in unison, and then distributed the bamboo slips there, and pulled out the money from the bamboo slips.

When he became an official, there were corresponding regulations restricting every kind of outrageous behavior, for example, the new emperor sent a second group of officials to participate in the westward envoy plan.

But it is not easy for those who are not officials to punish them.

As Li Guang said, there is no law in this regard, and the new emperor is not willing to block his own financial path.

"But the people should hate these people very much!"

The new emperor thought about it for a while, and felt that when the time came, he could post a big list and write all the names of these people who were not suitable for being officials, so that these people could bear the scolding of the people.

This method can serve as a warning, and the court has not done anything out of line.

Of course, the new emperor does not have any radish pit official positions at the moment.

It seems that the imperial court has rotated many officials of Sangong and Jiuqing, but many officials have been transferred back and forth in this circle, and no one has been beheaded, and there is no need for a large number of officials to replace them, and a group of novices cannot take over various things immediately.

"Your Majesty, this Tianyue Pi bribed forty-eight and a half taels of money!"

"Tianyue skin? This is called Wu Yuepo, you can't just read half of the words, go and call Han Yan and Sang Hongyang over, one of them can read words, the other can do arithmetic, do this little thing more easily! ”

When the eunuchs opened their mouths to read their names and calculate half a tael, the new emperor personally checked it, and felt that these people were doing some physical work.

He waved his hand, and the eunuch who had done the wrong thing immediately jumped out of the hall to find someone.

"Heaven and earth are clear, the sun and the moon are clear, my heart is to Your Majesty, I am willing to serve the labor of filial piety, dogs and horses, and the people Wu Yuepo is good at controlling beasts...... Beast control? This is a great talent, if you have real skills, I don't mind giving you a chance to be an official, you take this bamboo slip to Jingzhaoyi Mansion, let them find this Wu Yuepo, and see what his level of beast control skills is? ”

The new emperor took the first bamboo slip, and then arranged for someone to inquire about it.

Who violated the rules by sandwiching money in the bamboo slips, and who did not violate the rules, this is obviously his final say.

If you have real skills, you will not be considered a violation, and if you don't have real skills, you will inevitably violate the rules.

After reading the first bamboo slip, his mood was slightly better, but when he saw the second bamboo slip, the new emperor spit out a sentence of 'no learning and no skill', and then he had no idea of continuing to check.

He walked back and forth, and from time to time he rummaged through the piles of half-taels, and pinched the broken gold and silver.

When the footsteps outside the main hall came, the new emperor saw two young men walking into the hall quickly.

One of the two teenagers is handsome, and the other is shrewd.

The former is as gentle as jade and is deeply liked by him, while the latter is very talented, at least among his peers, and his mental arithmetic and other abilities are few and far between.

"Han Yan, you come and write down these names for me, Sang Hongyang, you take an inventory of these belongings!"

"Yui!"

The two teenagers responded in unison.

Han Yan took the name of the bamboo slips, and Sang Hongyang began to count the belongings according to the location of the bamboo slips.

He swept his gaze, and couldn't help but see a group of eunuchs untying knots not far away.

Those bamboo slips are tied together, and the knots are so complicated that they are a headache, especially when the other party is tied with dead knots, and if you want to untie them smoothly, you can only pick them with a needle.

"Why does it look a little like Brother Dongfang's official bamboo slip, didn't he follow my reminder and really stuffed a lot of half taels in it?"

Although Sang Hongyang glanced at the other side, he was not slow with his hands and feet, and quickly reported half a tael to Han Yan.

"Why is it so tightly tied, could it be that there are gold bars hidden in it?"

Sang Hongyang was a little curious, and the new emperor couldn't help but join in the fun when he waited.

"Don't solve it, I'll cut it for you with a sword!"

The ropes of more than ten rolls of bamboo slips were almost as dense as fishing nets, and the new emperor felt that Zhang Xuezhou had shown a talent for tying knots, but the imperial court department did not need someone to tie knots, this kind of talent was useless, and he could not be an official.

He stretched out his hand and swung out a sword, cutting dozens of knots, and when he asked the eunuch to draw the bamboo slip, he couldn't help but make up two more swords.

"Your Majesty, this person's talent for knotting is still good," Han Yan, who was waiting for Sang Hong's sheep counting, said with a smile,

"Good for remediating fishing nets!"

The new emperor nodded, signaling that this was the only use for those who were good at knotting.

"He tied a dead knot, which is not elastic when used in fishing nets, so it is difficult for the fish to struggle and tie it tighter," Sang Hongyang corrected.

"If that's it, then he's really showing a useless talent!"

If the knots are not even used for fishing nets, the new emperor feels that it is really impossible to think of a use for such people's talents.

But after he cut a few swords, the rolls of bamboo slips were finally able to be opened normally and searched for money.

"Didn't put any money?"

A roll of bamboo slips was spread out, and the new emperor saw that it was densely packed with various words, and he didn't even see the shadow of half a half tael.

"Hidden in some other volume, perhaps?"

The new emperor frowned slightly, and when he saw the bamboo slip, his eyes swept over, and he saw that it seemed to narrate a grievance and hatred, but when it was written, it was replaced with horizontal and vertical bars, and it seemed to be replaced with the fierce country script.

"What is this?"

It doesn't take long to read hundreds of words, and although it doesn't take a quick look, it really doesn't take long.

But seeing a word you don't know is a different story.

The new emperor previously disliked the illiterate eunuchs, and when he watched it himself, he couldn't help but have a little bit of a head.

Obviously, this official seeker offers his talents on the bamboo slips, and the content of the bamboo slips also has a corresponding talent.

"This man is like this with a whole bundle of bamboo slips?" Xinti asked.

"Your Majesty, there are five bundles of bamboo slips that are set by our Han court, and there are twenty-three bundles of half-and-half sandwiched, and there are unintelligible line characters, and there is no money in them," the eunuch said.

"It's twenty-four bundles!"

"No, I just counted twenty-five bundles!"

"Don't fight, I've counted only eighteen bundles, and I'm still counting them!"

"Then you're breaking your finger wrong!"

The eunuchs muttered.

If the family was born well, few people would be sent to the palace to be eunuchs.

The knowledge level of the corresponding eunuchs is indeed very insufficient, and even counting this kind of thing is not good.

Only some older eunuchs will have more knowledge.

But the new emperor doesn't like to use old eunuchs, and the eunuchs who can live in the palace until they are all exquisite, and he tells the old eunuchs to do something today, and tomorrow they can reach the ears of the queen mother or the queen mother.

On the contrary, these little eunuchs were replaced by the new emperor round after round, and at least they were spared leaks when they were not in a good position.

It's just that some minor troubles are inevitable with it.

For example, at the moment, the number of people in this group is not counted.

If it weren't for Sang Hongyang and other donors to help, this kind of thing would have to be done by the new emperor himself.

"What the hell is written on this?" Han Yan said with interest: "I have never seen a person seeking an official write so many words!" ”

"That's what you say!"

Xindi wanted to clearly identify and check the person's name, so he removed the other party from the published list, so the matter was over.

But Han Yan's words made him a little more interested.

Regardless of who this official seeker is, and whether the other party has money in it, the other party seems to be very good at writing at the moment.

But even for those who are verbose, it is difficult to write all these bamboo slips.

Many people have exhausted the vocabulary of their lives, and perhaps they do not have as many words as each other wrote on these bamboo slips.

"Han Yan is literate, do you want to find the first volume and read it, and see how he seeks an official?"

It was difficult to determine who was seeking an official before the bamboo slips were opened, but when the bamboo slips were opened, how could Sang Hongyang not recognize Zhang Xuezhou's handwriting.

He only felt a little bad in his heart, and felt that Zhang Xuezhou couldn't do it like this, and the other party had a great chance of asking for an official to enter the cold palace for the third time.

Thinking that Zhang Xuezhou was in no mood to come up with arithmetic problems when he was melancholy, this made him inevitably interject and help him say a few words.
