Chapter 400: Confrontation and Division

What is Your Majesty doing here?

A group of court bigwigs are all looking down and thinking, cleaning the power of the court, this is not a trivial matter.

What's more, he is targeting some old ministers, who have deep qualifications, wide influence, deep roots in the court, and protégés and children all over the government and the opposition.

It's not easy to move them.

"Your Majesty, there are not many sixty-year-old ministers in the court, if it is one-size-fits-all, I am afraid there will be trouble."

Although Dong Ban himself is only in his fifties, he is not a few years away, and His Majesty has already stated that it is to be determined as a system, so it will concern all the courtiers.

"I naturally know, but this move is not to clean up the court, but for the sake of future generations.

And I'm not targeting any one of the courtiers, just the old ones who are old and in poor health, and need to make way for others. ”

are all important ministers who are favored by themselves, and Liu Zhi is too lazy to go around in circles, so he is outspoken.

This also made everyone's hearts hang, and they let go of a lot, but the purpose of this dynasty has always been to sympathize with the old and virtuous ministers.

Now, all of a sudden, such a system would not make people feel too strict and unkind?

"Since it is a system, will the corresponding honors also be stipulated by the system?"

Chen Fan was the most important and immediately asked.

"That's natural, the courtiers are loyal to the country, and they retire after old age and decrement, which is also a kind of compassion for the court.

How to reward it, there will be no less, and the reward will be doubled, and the children of his family will also take care of it. ”

Speaking of which, the last sentence is the point, if you really want to retreat, property and merit are external objects, and they are nothing.

If you can pull a handful of family members because of this, you can barely figure it out, and some of the unwillingness in your heart will be filled.

"Even so, it can be regarded as the emperor's grace, and the minister thinks it is feasible."

So far, Chen Fan has become the first minister to express his approval, and Li Ying has also expressed his approval.

The only courtier over sixty years old is Chen Yu, so in order to avoid suspicion, he has not participated in the discussion.

At this time, he also stood up generously and expressed his approval of the retirement system, and his statement made other people awe-inspired.

Immediately afterwards, the other courtiers also agreed after asking some questions related to it.

It was only at this time that everyone understood that His Majesty suddenly proposed a Zen concession system a few days ago, the purpose of which was to lay the foundation for today.

is to let the world see that he, the emperor, will not be greedy for power, and plans to give way when he is old and infirm.

Let's just say that His Majesty's behavior, how can it be groundless, it must be something.

Liu Zhi's current style of acting is only to formulate the general direction and program, and he doesn't care about the details, and directly leaves it to the courtiers to worry about, and he no longer has to bow down to everything like he did back then.

The courtiers outside were still fighting for the cabinet seats, but they didn't expect that they would be put together by His Majesty again.

As soon as the retirement system came out, it was like a boulder thrown into the lake, causing a huge storm.

For a while, the voice of opposition was very loud, and the protest in the book flew like snowflakes, Liu Zhi had already expected such a situation, and directly asked the Zhongshu Province to hold it, and he didn't even bother to look at it.

Among them, the most opposed ones are naturally those old family aristocrats, over the years, the new forces of their family have been unable to keep up, and they all rely on the support of the older generation.

If the old ministers retreated, their family strength would immediately be reduced by several levels, which would be fatal to the entire family.

Hu Guang originally thought that he could get a cabinet minister to do it, but now he can't even keep his position as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

Immediately, he regretted that he should not have objected to the affairs of the council, which caused His Majesty's dissatisfaction, and made it clear that he was now going to use him to establish his authority.

This guy is used to putting gold on his face, self-righteous, and he doesn't want to think about it, for the sake of him alone, why should His Majesty make such a big move.

At this time, he no longer dared to write against it himself, so he had to make trouble behind his back, hoping that His Majesty could take back his fate.

Knowing his small actions, Liu Zhi didn't bother to deal with it, Hu Guang was already over eighty years old, there was no need to worry about him, just legislate and kick him out.

This order also unexpectedly exacerbated the division of the court, and after Liu Zhi ascended the throne, because of the imperial examinations, the children of the poor families who rose to prominence, as well as some officials of the declining aristocracy and middle families.

Not only will they not oppose this, but they are very much in favor of it, these people have no family background, and after a certain degree of mixture, it will be difficult to continue to walk.

Now that so many positions have been vacated at once, aren't the promotion opportunities for these middle-level officials coming?

This is simply a good thing that falls from the sky, one by one, riveting, aiming to sprint your position to show their powers.

Even if you are old in the future, you will face the fate of retirement, but now it is more important, isn't it, whether you can live to the age of 60 is another matter.

Because of the retirement system, the two parties began to fight, you write to ask for revocation, I will write a letter to strongly agree, see who has more books.

For a while, the atmosphere in the court began to become tense, and the two sides faced each other, each refusing to give in, and the battle soon entered a white heat.

This is a lively scene that has not appeared in the Han court for many years, and while they are arguing, the formation of the parliament is also in full swing.

If there are discerning officials, sharpen their heads and drill into it, and with the special role of the parliament, if they can occupy a place in it, they will definitely have a worry-free future in the future.

The quota here, except for the first- and second-grade officials of the imperial court, those so-called representatives of various ministries, there is a lot to do.

However, Liu Zhi soon gave instructions on this matter and let the deans of the four major colleges directly enter the council.

It also stipulates that in order to become parliamentary representatives, officials in charge of all walks of life must be people who are usually responsible for concrete and practical matters, and they must also have excellent professional knowledge.

In addition to this, the Assembly is required to include a number of representatives of local officials, and each state has a fixed number of people who know the local situation best and have a say in the supplementation of local laws.

This incident greatly distracted the attention of the court officials, and His Majesty threw out three or four major things at the same time, that is, to make it difficult for them to concentrate on one or the other.

As for the formation of the cabinet, he has already made up his mind, but he will not be able to announce the candidates until the retirement system is implemented.

This first cabinet itself was prepared for a smooth transition to Liu Jin's regime in the future, and naturally it must serve this purpose.

Throughout October and November, the imperial court was very busy with these few things, and under the secret activities of several court bigwigs, the old-school families also began to divide.

After all, not all old families have no successors, and their educational resources are significantly higher than those of the poor family, so as long as the children and grandchildren compete for luck, there are many more opportunities than the poor family.
