Since the time of Emperor Guangwu, the re-establishment of Shangshutai, the scope of responsibilities and status of the Three Dukes Mansion has declined year by year, and by the time of Emperor An, Shangshutai has a great tendency to compete with the Taiwei Mansion.

By the time of the second emperor, the queen mother was in the court, the general was dominant, and the three dukes and Shangshutai were severely suppressed, so they could only huddle together for warmth.

Now that the new emperor is in power, Shangshutai has become the center of the imperial court's decrees, and most of the functions and powers of the Taiwei Mansion have been lost.

The official system of the Han Dynasty is not mature, since the founding of Gaozu, it has undergone many reforms, and the Taiwei alone has changed its name several times, but the power is gradually being hollowed out.

The so-called "although the three princes are placed, the matter will be returned to the Taiwan Cabinet" is this meaning. Grabbing

It can be said that it has been inherited to this day, and the honorary role of the three dukes has been greater than the real power, but how can the subordinate officials of the Taiwei Mansion headed by Huang Qiong be willing to withdraw from the center of power?

If it were on weekdays, with Huang Qiong's character, he would definitely not meet so many subordinate officials at the same time, not to mention that there were Jiuqing like Taichang and Tingwei, no matter how they said it, they would be suspected of forming a party for personal gain.

But today, he didn't refuse, the last person to come in was Shi Xuyi, the head of the Taiwei Mansion, he had a night talk with Huang Qiong last night, he couldn't stand it when he was old, and he got up a little late.

Therefore, he was also the last person to get the news, and when he saw that the hall was full of people, his eyes were fixed, and his worry flashed.

"Taiwei, if Your Majesty really abolishes the Third Prince, where should we go?"

Huang Qiong squinted at Mu Qian, the court commander who spoke, this guy is sleek, with both ends of the head and mouse, and he is not a person who can discuss serious matters at all.

Moreover, Tingwei is subordinate to Situ Mansion, but Mu Qian usually has a close relationship with Taiwei, so he belongs to Huang Qiong's party.

But in today's situation, it is obvious that Situ Yinxun is on the emperor's side, and he is not worried about the dismissal of Situ Mansion, so what do you have to worry about.

"What are you afraid of, Your Majesty will arrange it properly, anyway, at the age of the old man, he can already make fun of his grandson."

Everyone looked at each other, unable to figure out whether he was talking angrily, or if he was really disheartened and retreated.

"Yuan Xuan is now arrogant, and he doesn't take us and others in his eyes at all, is Taiwei really willing to swallow his anger?" A Taiwei Fu Peng was indignant.

Changshi Xu Yi saw that the situation was not right, so he took over the conversation, "They are all doing things for Your Majesty, and they are just in charge of different things, what is there to be angry about, don't talk nonsense, how can Taiwei care about such a false name?" ”

The man also knew that something was wrong, and immediately stopped talking.

Huang Qiong gave him a look, and Xu Yi understood, "Everyone is gone, and do things with peace of mind, how can our courtiers speculate on Your Majesty's thoughts." ”

Seeing that the captain was sitting on the desk, his eyes were already slightly closed, everyone knew that they couldn't ask what was going on today, so they had to say goodbye with interest.

Xu Yi looked at the hall that had finally quieted down, and shook his head, "The vertical is not enough, Ying Gong, do you think Your Majesty intends to abolish the Third Duke's Mansion?" ”

Huang Qiong's character is Shiying, and Xu Yi has been friends with him for decades, so he is called a Ying Gong to show his closeness.

"It's hard to say, the Son of Heaven doesn't follow the rules, you see that he wants to go east, but he turns a corner and goes south."

Huang Qiong shook her head self-deprecatingly, "You can't push it by common sense." "巘戅tIanlaI#戅

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, "We can't sit still, can we?" ”

"I see that Your Majesty has supported the Yushitai before, and then promoted the Shangshu Mansion, if you want to abolish the three dukes, you must support another force to maintain balance.

This third party is snobbish, and there is a lot to be done. ”

Xu Yi was silent, Huang Qiong still thought that it was very likely that His Majesty would remove the Three Princes' Mansions, but it was impossible for the Son of Heaven to abandon so many ministers at the same time, and he had to open a new mansion to maintain balance, just like Emperor Wu set up the Great Sima Mansion or the Taishi Mansion.

Instead of preventing His Majesty from abolishing the Taiwei Mansion, he will be abandoned by the Son of Heaven.

It is better to take advantage of the trend and actively seek a new position, so that the soup will not be changed, and there is not much loss for the subordinates of the Taiwei Mansion.

"Yinggong, I understand."

The Taiwei Mansion has changed hands several times, and the factions of the subordinate officials in it are complicated, so it is naturally impossible to make such a confidential matter public, so it is better to take the opportunity to save the chaff, which is the best policy.

Since then, Huang Qiong has made up her mind, closed her door to thank guests, and refused to receive non-official business, putting on a posture of pampering and not being surprised.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Liang Budo, the editor-in-chief of Hanlin Yuan, to openly submit his resignation at the court meeting, saying that he was unwell and could not bear the heavy responsibility, and asked to resign and return to Li.

The Son of Heaven repeatedly retained, but Liang Budo had made up his mind, and finally His Majesty agreed to his resignation, but still let him hang an idle post in the Ministry of Industry of Shangshufu.

Naturally, no one cares about this contrivance, since the death of the Empress Dowager Liang, and the Empress Liang is assigned to guard the mausoleum, Liang Budo's resignation is a foregone conclusion.

But what they didn't expect was that Liang Budo finally recommended the former lieutenant Hu Guang to take over, and His Majesty asked Yu Qunchen.

To tell the truth, Hu Guang is very popular in the DPRK and China, he is a delicate person, and he is a good man, who has been an official for more than 20 years, and has recommended and recruited many talents.

Besides, he is fundamentally different from Zhao Jie, and he did not do evil with Liang Ji, and Hanlin Yuan is an out-and-out pure clerical job with almost no real power.

In this case, everyone is willing to be a good person, and all the words of praise praise Hu Guangwen are outstanding and knowledgeable, and he is enough to take on this role.

Only Huang Qiong was a little vigilant in her heart, and now she thinks that every time the emperor opens a new institution, it has a deep meaning, and the editor-in-chief of Hanlin Yuan is also among them?

On the same day, Liu Zhi issued an edict, officially appointing Hu Guang as the editor-in-chief of Hanlin Yuan, and summoned him to the Zhongde Palace.

After leaving the imperial court for nearly a year, Hu Guang's changes are still obvious, the original big belly is gone, and his oily air has also decreased a little.

When he has lost weight, he looks like he has some clear literati bones.

"The old minister greets Your Majesty."

"Give a seat." #21434#21437#32#22825#31809#23567#35828#32#116#105#97#110#108#97#105#120#115#119#46#99#111#109#32#21434#21437

Liu Zhi looked at him, in addition to being cowardly, Hu Guang still has some real skills, not as ruthless as Zhao Jie.

"There are too few books being compiled by Hanlin Yuan, I want to expand the scale and revise all the ancient books, can you recruit a group of learned people to participate in the grand event."

All ancient texts are revised?

Hu Guang was taken aback, and then burst into some joy, this is a great cause that will last for eternity, I can't imagine that Your Majesty has such grand ambitions. Grabbing

"Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, hundreds of schools of thought have contended, and the ancient books are as vast as a sea of smoke, if all of them are revised, I am afraid that the power of the whole country will take decades of hard work to complete."

It's not that Hu Guang shirks responsibility, it's that the project is too huge.

"It's okay, up to the Three Dukes' Mansion, down to Taixue and various official schools, or a hermit in the forest, as long as you can see it, you can recommend it.

You can join Hanlin Garden, or you can take a temporary position and be responsible for one of the ancient books. ”

This condition is really lenient, so that the confidence is much greater, but there are talented people, I am afraid that few are willing to join such a quiet place as Hanlin Garden.

"Hanlin Yuan is full of learning, and I want to increase the Hanlin Yuan to be edicted, and I am responsible for drafting the edict."

Hu Guang has been immersed in officialdom for many years, so he naturally knows that the people who drafted the edict are all close ministers of the emperor, even if the level is not high, it can make people rush to it.

"If the scale of the Hanlin Garden is sufficient, I would like to divide it into two parts, one is the Hanlin Academy, which is based in Lantai and is responsible for the compilation of historical books and the revision of ancient books.

The other part is the Hanlin worship, which is stationed in the Yutang Palace, responsible for the drafting of confidential edicts, assisting in the imperial examination, and serving as a reference when the imperial court revises the system. ”

Every time Liu Zhi said the same thing, Hu Guang's eyes lit up a little, and by the end, his eyes were already full of excitement.

After several ups and downs, ups and downs, Hu Guang learned from the pain, and most of the original desire to compete for fame and fortune had already stopped.

He knew very well that his character was not suitable for the treacherous court struggle, this Hanlin Yuan was extremely noble, and being in the court without being involved in right and wrong was simply tailor-made for him.

"Your Majesty, Hanlin Yuan will definitely become a holy place in the hearts of students all over the world."

As a veteran of the Four Dynasties, his political sense is extremely sensitive, and he is immediately keenly aware that the Hanlin Academy will become a training place for important officials of the imperial court, and he will become a mentor respected by everyone.

"Also, the palace school run by the Empress Dowager Deng back then is now in a miasma, and I plan to hand it over to Hanlin Yuan to reorganize and be responsible for lecturing.

In the future, the children and sons of the royal family, as well as the accompanying students, must go through a rigorous assessment, and those who are stubborn will have the right to be expelled. ”

The unexpected joy was really wave after wave, Hu Guang suddenly felt that he had come and gone, and finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon, ushering in the peak moment of his life.

"The minister is ashamed, he was once ranked as the third duke, but the corpse was a vegetarian meal, and he was ashamed of His Majesty."

The shame on Hu Guang's face was very sincere, and he was no longer as greasy and hypocritical as he first saw that day, "Your Majesty will not give up, and the ministers will change their minds and face and die conscientiously." ”

Liu Zhi said with a smile, "This time it was recommended by Liang Budo, and I decided after many considerations. ”

Liang Budo is unable to protect himself, he should have been wise to protect himself, but he took the risk to recommend him, and this friendship is moving.

The two are confidants of each other and cherish each other, but Liang Budo's personality is more simple, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and does things recklessly.

After a conversation, Hu Guang was enthusiastic, in the past few decades, he has a reputation in Confucianism, and with his high power, he can be said to have friends all over the world.

He is very confident that as long as he comes forward, he will definitely be able to invite wise men and make Hanlin Yuan a place of Wenzong of the Han Dynasty.

In February, the news that Hanlin Yuan settled in the Yutang Hall and was enshrined for His Majesty has spread all over the world.

Tai Academy was dug into several corners by Hu Guang in advance, which made the priest of the country so angry that he blew his beard and glared, threatening that as long as Hu Guang dared to take another step, he would fight him alone.

Even the subordinate officials of the Three Dukes' Mansion were pryed away by his old boss, and the officials and scholars were even more noisy, and they were strictly guarded, for fear that Hu Guang would pull them all away.

Many Confucians, who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, were invited by Hu Guang to come over in vain, and became the gods of the town.

At first, many people were reluctant to avoid Hu Guang coming, but as soon as the news spread, many families wanted to stuff their children in.

This is much better than being a Lang official, and he is noble and can often be familiar in front of His Majesty, who is not hot. #21434#21437#32#36861#21727#25991#23398#32#122#104#117#105#121#111#46#99#111#109#32#21434#21437

It's a pity that Hu Guang's conditions are very harsh, and he must have special talents in some aspects, whether it is scripture, arithmetic, or poetry and songs.

After several months of careful selection, coupled with the old establishment of Hanlin Yuan, the scale has expanded to more than 100 people, and it has become a system of its own.

The Hanlin Garden was renamed the Hanlin Academy, and there were several scholars, lecturers, scholars, revisions, editors, classics, reviews, and edicts.

Among them, the most common are the compilation and canonization, and the number of places is not limited, mainly young students who have entered the late school.

Huang Qiong kept silent during this process, and even some of the Taiwei Mansion Peng and Imperial Subordinates jumped to the Hanlin Academy, and he was also kind enough to send him out without the slightest embarrassment.

Xu Yi had privately discussed with him, and both of them believed that the Hanlin Yuan was not enough to compete with the Shangshu Mansion and the Yushitai, and should belong to an institution independent of the various forces.

And the real big move of the Son of Heaven is still to come, so in addition to secretly accumulating snobbery, he put his main energy on the first national unified children's test.

This spring's top priority was to restore people's livelihoods, and the government borrowed rations and seeds for the affected people, and supervised the spring planting.

Rivers and ditches in various places have been under constant maintenance since the winter, and because of the bad year, although only two meals of multigrain porridge and two chaff cakes are provided, many people still flock to them.

In fact, the people's requirements are very low, as long as they can barely satisfy themselves, who really wants to rebel, isn't it impossible to live?

Agricultural officials and officials in various prefectures, counties, and counties even came forward to persuade the local gentry to donate or lend some grain to the government, which would be deducted from the land rent in the future, in the hope of surviving the difficulties.

The people were surprised to find that those high-ranking officials actually went to the countryside to supervise in person, which was really unheard of.

The soap officials in the townships, pavilions, and villages are eager to sleep in the fields every day, but fortunately, God blesses, the whole spring is smooth, most of the fields are sown, and the growth is gratifying.

Although the big guys are skeptical about the new planting method enforced, they are looking forward to seeing that the seedlings are indeed neater than in previous years.

In this case, the first children's test in the Han Empire was a little silent, and the recommendation system was abandoned, and there were indeed a lot of students who signed up.

Students from government and private schools in all localities, with the exception of Mengtong in primary school, almost all of them have their names registered.

Among the young students, the most eye-catching are many middle-aged Confucian students, many of whom were once attached to the family as officials, and some of them have been mixed with the lowest level of village officials and pavilion officials for many years.

So many people, one by one, go to check their identities, the project is too huge, spring ploughing is busy, where to find so many people.

In the end, only a notice can be issued, and anyone who has an unfilial piety or a criminal record will cancel the registration on their own, and once it is subsequently found, they will be punished as the crime of exile.

In order to reduce the pressure of the county examination in the fall, the chairs of the county schools and the county magistrates have hollowed out their minds to solve problems, in order to brush off a group of scholars who are not good at their studies and have a fluke mentality.

In early April, when the grass grows and the warbler flies and the willows are green, the first children's examination is being carried out intensively in the county schools. Chasing after literature

Many students who have participated in this children's exam are still talking about it many years later, because this is definitely the most difficult children's exam in history.
