As soon as Liu He ascended the throne, he had never seen such a noisy scene in the court.

When he had said this, he still stood, looking at the crowd with the kind of ignorance that pretended to be ignorant.

It looks like he's overwhelmed, but it's actually secretly observing everyone's reactions.

Who will be the first to stand up and sing against themselves?

Soon, Liu He noticed.

Huo Dang was very cautious, and they all looked at Huo Guang, but Huo Guang walked back to his couch for some reason and sat down silently.

seems to be evading, and it seems to leave Liu He alone in the palace to wait for the baptism of wind and rain.

This behavior is quite interesting.

It seems that this wind and rain is destined to be very big, and even Huo Guang has to avoid its edge.

Liu He guessed that it was not bad, Huo Guang had thoughts about giving Emperor Xiaowu a temple number, but he didn't dare to take action.

As the saying goes, there is a thief's heart, but there is no thief's courage.

Zhao Chongguo, Zhang Anshi, Liu De and others looked calm and did not seem to object.

They are doers in the court, not to mention that they all miss Emperor Xiaowu, even if they think that Emperor Xiaowu is at fault, they also value Emperor Xiaowu's merits for the Han Dynasty.

Not to mention, Emperor Xiaowu has the grace of knowing them.

In the court, fidgeting, what is really like mourning and examination is the group of "virtual officials" who have been investigated and promoted to the court as officials in the name of virtuous literature, but they do not have too many real materials.

Virtuous literature is a subject of the probationary system. Those who are "bold and not afraid to speak up" are selected.

Dong Zi put forward the theory of "heaven and man induction", believing that all kinds of disasters are the condemnation of the emperor by God, and once a disaster comes, it shows that the emperor has had, and self-examination must be carried out.

At this time, it is necessary to issue an edict to seek talents, solicit opinions, and correct mistakes.

And it is this virtuous literature that is sought.

Over the years, there have been many famous officials in the virtuous literature that have been examined, but more of them are some scholars who cannot "do practical work".

Because they have been immersed in the pile of papers all year round, they have high attainments in scriptures, but they cannot do practical work, and can only fill in some unimportant positions.

Doctor, Doctor, Doctor...... It is the final destination of most virtuous literature.

There are not many opportunities to play on weekdays, and only when the important ministers of the court need to quote scriptures, they will come out to respond to a few sounds.

It is a more or less decoration in the court.

Because these virtuous literature do not master the practice, then it is even more necessary to maintain the name, if they do not even maintain this matter, then they have to do these decorations.

Liu He looked at the officials who bowed their heads and whispered, and did not stop their actions, but let them talk about it, and let their thoughts gradually ferment.

Waiting for work, Liu He just needs to wait.

After a while, an old man sitting opposite Wang Ji stood up.

Wang Ji is the captain of Weiyang, the last of Jiuqing, and in front of him is Fan Mingyou, the captain of Changle.

And the old man who stood up was none other than Changxin Shaofu Xiahou Sheng.

Changxin Palace is the dormitory where the Queen Mother lives, so this official should be in charge of the affairs of Changle Palace, just like Shaofu Lecheng.

But there is always an emperor, but the queen mother is often lacking, and it is not cost-effective to set up a separate Changxin Shaofu.

Over time, it became a fictitious position, the same as Jiuqing in terms of rank, but he didn't have any real power, and he didn't even have a government office.

It is most suitable for installing Xiahou Sheng, an old Confucian who can't do practical work and can only read the scriptures.

Seeing Xiahou Sheng stand up, Liu He couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

It's you who is waiting.

Liu He suddenly remembered that the granddaughter of Changxin Shaofu was still Jieyu who had "not passed the door".

If you have to count it, it's still your grandfather.

"Old minister Xiahou Sheng, there is something to play!"

"Oh? Is it Changxin Shaofu, you are an old minister in the court, you don't have to be formal. ”

Xiahou Sheng is over seventy years old, and this Yang Chang is a few years older, but he is in good health, and he walks vigorously, which makes Liu He mistakenly think that he has seen the Wang style.

"The old minister does not agree to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple number!" Xiahou Sheng relied on his age, relying on the old and selling the old, and said it bluntly, without a little euphemism.

"Oh? What is the high opinion of Changxin Shaofu? Do you think that I just made a mistake in my evaluation of Emperor Xiaowu, or do I think that Emperor Xiaowu is not a Ming monarch? Liu He didn't have any dodging.

Xiahou Sheng is a stubborn old Confucian, who regards the name festival as the foundation, he said without fear: "The first emperors of the Han Dynasty are all Ming Jun, but not Ming Jun can go to the temple number, in the past at the Xianliang Literature Conference, all the virtuous literature has already evaluated the merits and demerits of Emperor Xiaowu, and Emperor Xiaowu should not go to the temple." ”

"Oh? I have heard of the virtuous literary conference, and at the virtuous meeting, does anyone really think that Emperor Xiaowu is too much meritorious? Liu He asked pretending not to understand.

I saw that the elderly Xiahou Sheng showed a trace of self-satisfaction, and said unhurriedly: "The old man is fortunate to have been recommended by Tian Qianqiu, the prime minister at that time, to participate in the virtuous meeting. ”

"The Weichen Rite Doctor Kong Jia once participated in the Virtuous Conference......"

"Wechen counseled the doctor Meng Yi and participated in the virtuous meeting......"

"Dr. Zeng Bing, a doctor of Weichen Zhongsan, once participated in the virtuous meeting......"

……

Under the leadership of Xiahou Sheng, these virtuous literature seemed to have received a signal, and fifteen or sixteen people stood up at once.

Liu He only knew that the virtuous meeting was very important, but he didn't expect that so many people in the court had attended this meeting.

Liu He paid attention to their official positions, and most of them were all kinds of doctors.

The reserve officials, who are nominally advisers to the Son of Heaven, are actually fictitious positions.

It has been seven years since the Literary Virtuous Conference, and those who have real talent and real learning should have been promoted long ago.

Either he served in the government of the central government, or he was sent to the counties to be the prime minister.

Those who are still in the DPRK and the Central Committee to hold false positions are probably some people who are vegetarian in the corpse position - they are said to be reserve officials, how can there be a reserve to the point of gray hair.

It's time to give up the place and make room for those who can afford it.

If I don't stand up, I don't know who they are.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers who stand up are all witnesses of the Literary Virtuous Conference, and they are also famous virtuous literature at that time, if Your Majesty does not believe it, you can ask the general."

At that time, the three dukes already had two ancient works, and if they wanted to ask for a certificate, they could only ask Huo Guang.

When Liu He looked at Huo Guang, the latter was silent, just nodded lightly, this low-key attitude was intriguing.

Liu He was even more convinced that although Huo Guang had won the court struggle with the help of literary virtue, he was also faintly dissatisfied with some of their behaviors, so he didn't say a word.

Liu He immediately made a judgment, although Huo Guang did not express his position, but not expressing his position is also an attitude.

Four more finishes!
