"Your Majesty's words are serious, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the old man is a courtier, how can there be a reason for the Son of Heaven to ask for a courtier."

The appearance is quite respectful, but the respect is very limited.

"I once said that what you get on paper is shallow in the end, and you never know that you have to do it."

"I have been learning to govern with the princes for more than a month, and I know that it is difficult to govern the government, but I don't know where the difficulties are."

"I haven't been in charge yet, and I still need my middle father to grasp the overall situation of the court, but I also hope to do some practice, can I let me handle the shooting countermeasures prepared for Lang Guan?"

Strictly speaking, Liu He is interfering in the government.

It should have aroused Huo Guang's suspicions.

But that's no longer the case.

Huo Guang is still the same Huo Guang, but Liu He is no longer the original Liu He.

Worship the high temple to complete all the rituals of ascending the throne, subdue Liu Ai has been relieved of the hidden danger, gain control of part of the Weiyang Palace, form a strong alliance with the queen mother, and use the temple number to win prestige......

What's more, Liu He is Huo Guang's son-in-law, and Huo Chengjun is already Liu He's queen - it is impossible for her to marry someone else.

Then, Huo Guang was also tied to Liu He's car.

In love, Huo Guang wants to support his son-in-law to be a son of heaven who is not so in charge.

Yu Li, Huo Guang wants the Son of Heaven to gradually learn to govern the government.

When he didn't have the heart to be self-reliant, Huo Guang had to learn to respect the Son of Heaven.

Huo Guang couldn't see Liu He's city government, but he could see the current situation clearly.

In addition, the official position of the miscellaneous doctor is not important, so Huo Guang has the heart to let the Son of Heaven give it a try.

Liu He saw hope and continued: "If the middle father is not at ease, after the Lang official is selected, the middle father will look at it, and if it doesn't work, it will be promoted by the old method." ”

Finally, the last sentence Liu He said dispelled Huo Guang's doubts and made him nod lightly.

"Your Majesty has thought it through, then this matter will be presided over by Your Majesty for the time being, and Guangluxun Zhang Anshi will help from the side."

"Very good, but the selection of the prime minister is very important, and the middle father must be decided as soon as possible, so as not to let the position of the head of the hundred officials be vacant."

"No, the old man must draw up a candidate as soon as possible."

Liu He mentioned this matter again at this time, it was nothing more than to let Huo Guang take another reassuring pill, and at the same time, he was also preparing to pull out the hook that he had buried the previous month.

Within the Huo Party, in order to compete for the position of prime minister, I don't know what else to fight.

At this time, a gust of north wind blew outside the hall, which made Liu He feel comfortable.

Maybe it was to take away the summer heat, Liu He saw that many courtiers smiled slightly.

……

The next day, Liu He couldn't wait to send Guangluxun Zhang Anshi to the Xuanshu Palace.

Compared with the previous day, today's Xuanshu Hall is naturally much more deserted.

Except for Liu He and Zhang Anshi, there are no others.

As for Yu Wuwu, he was summoned to Changle Palace by the Empress Dowager Shangguan to explain the scriptures and meanings of the "Book of Songs" to the Empress Dowager.

Zhang Anshi is one of the Jiuqing, and naturally he was also arranged to come to Weiyang Palace to give lessons to the Son of Heaven.

However, because of the Confucian Rebellion, Zhang Anshi had too many things to do, so he just missed it.

Therefore, today is the first time that Zhang Anshi has met the Son of Heaven.

When waiting outside the hall for the Son of Heaven to pass through, Zhang Anshi was naturally extremely nervous.

This tension has different sources.

First, Guangluxun's position is quite important, and it is naturally in danger to be sandwiched between the Son of Heaven and Huo Guang.

The second is that he was just questioned by the Son of Heaven the day before, although the Son of Heaven later exonerated him, but he still had palpitations.

The third is that her sister was named Jieyu, and she will enter the palace to serve the Son of Heaven in the coming year, which is even more fearful.

Fourth, Zhang Anshi himself is cautious and always leaves room for immature things - the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards the general is not clear.

With these four layers of pressure, Zhang Anshi felt that the steps on his feet were extremely heavy.

I don't know if the Son of Heaven will say something "explicit" when he looks for himself today.

If so, how should I deal with it?

When Zhang Anshi was thinking wildly, the confessor shouted his name loudly.

Zhang Anshi cleaned up his mood and walked into the main hall with a little apprehension.

Liu He has been waiting for a long time.

According to the information he had, the middle-aged man in front of him, who was not good-looking, was a reliable and loyal minister.

"Weichen Zhang Anshi asked Your Majesty."

"Zhang Qing doesn't have to be formal, sit down quickly."

"No!"

Zhang Anshi stood up cautiously and knelt down on the couch opposite the Son of Heaven.

Liu He looked at this Confucian-born Guangluxun, his appearance was not good, but his body was tall and his limbs were quite powerful.

He was selected as Guangluxun, presumably he could read well, and he must be good at archery and driving, and he was a qualified Confucian student.

"Zhang Qing, Sister Anjun has always been good?"

Liu He is not in a hurry to ask about political affairs, but first asks his wife, which can bring the relationship closer.

Huo Chengjun is his wife, and Zhang Anjun is also his wife.

And Zhang Anshi is his eldest brother.

"Everything is fine with my sister, and Your Majesty is worried about it." Zhang Anshi said with some trepidation.

"Zhang Qing rest assured, when An Jun comes to Weiyang Palace, I will take good care of her, don't worry."

In Zhang Anshi's view, the words of the Son of Heaven are just a play, but hearing this sentence still makes Zhang Anshi feel a little affinity.

So he hurriedly said: "Weichen thanks Your Majesty for Your Majesty's love for An Jun." ”

After Liu He asked some trivial things about Zhang Anjun's daily life, he brought the topic to the main topic.

"Yesterday at the small court meeting, I embarrassed Zhang Qing, but it was not aimed at Zhang Qing, I hope Zhang Qing will not think too much."

For loyal ministers like Zhang Anshi, Liu He's main focus is sincerity.

I don't intend to use those tricks at all.

Exchanging sincerity for sincerity is really the most direct and effective way.

And this did have an effect, which immediately made Zhang Anshi, who was originally a little restless, settle down.

"And I summoned Zhang Qing today, naturally for the things discussed in the court yesterday, I have no experience in governance, so I can only put forward some ideas, and I need Zhang Qing to implement them!"

"Your Majesty can give an order, and Weichen is duty-bound as Guangluxun."

"Well, what you want is to be responsible, and only when you have a clear conscience can you have a clear conscience."

"No."

Like all the "loyal ministers" who came into close contact with the Son of Heaven for the first time, Zhang Anshi also felt that the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven were no different from ordinary people, and the rumors of madness seemed untrue.

"The assessment of doctoral disciples is called archery countermeasures, and the assessment of Nalang officials should also have a name, and I think it is called by the four characters of the imperial examination."

The subject is the subject, and the example is the recommendation, and the word has returned to its original meaning at this moment.

"Since this is a new thing that has never existed before, it is natural that there must be a special person in charge, so it is necessary to build a imperial examination room under the Guanglu Temple to take care of this matter, and then select a doctor to run the practice."

The Son of Heaven is in charge, Jiuqing is supervising, and the importance of this imperial examination doctor can be imagined.

"Zhang Qing, who do you think can take on this responsibility?"

Although Liu He was asking a question, the tone of the question was not serious.

Zhang Anshi immediately heard the meaning of the Son of Heaven's words.

"Your Majesty has a suitable candidate?"

Liu He smiled and nodded, which not only gave the answer, but also recognized Zhang Anshi's ability to observe words and colors.

Being able to see what the Son of Heaven is thinking is the most important skill in the court today.

"Doctor Guanglu Bingji, I think he can take on this big responsibility, what does Zhang Qing think?"

"Gong Bing?"

"Yes."

Zhang Anshi remembered that this Bingji used to be one of the escorts, was he already involved with the Son of Heaven?

But this implication does not seem to be obvious, and it should not arouse the suspicion of the general.

This time, Zhang Anshi guessed wrong, Liu He has not dealt with Bingji yet.

Instead, he wanted to take advantage of this to get into his camp.

"What does Zhang Qing think of this person?"

"Binggong's virtue and knowledge are outstanding, and he can take on this great responsibility."

Needless to say, in order to protect Liu Aiji, who had nothing to do with him, Bingji was able to launch a confrontation between the pavilion guards in the edict and the forbidden army who came to arrest Liu Aiji.

Even Emperor Xiaowu is not afraid, is he still afraid of Huo Guangcheng?

"Then the post of doctor of the imperial examination will be filled by Bingji."

"Yui!" Zhang Anshi wrote down Bingji's name on the wooden coffin prepared in advance.

Next, Liu He told him about the process of Langguan's imperial examination one by one.

First of all, it is natural that the Son of Heaven will write the question, and the topic will be selected from the Five Classics. The general direction of the exam questions is to use the intention to discuss the gains and losses of the government.

This seems to be an examination of Lang Guan's understanding of Confucian scriptures, but in fact, it is Lang Guan's cognition of the current situation and national policy of the Han Empire.

Talent does not have to be a technical official, but at least someone who is clear-headed and has a commanding vision.

Secondly, change the original interview to a written test, at the same time, on the same topic, and in the same place...... In this way, not only is it fairer, but what you think in your heart is written after careful consideration, and it can also better reflect the true level of Lang Guan.

After that, there is the way to prevent favoritism.

Liu He knew very well that there were many "smart" people in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, and they could always find a loophole in the camp, so naturally they could not be given this opportunity.

"All the examination papers of Lang officials who participated in the assessment must be temporarily covered with their names, and then copied by a special person before they can be handed in." Liu He said.

"This method is very good, so that the handwriting of the exam papers handed in is the same, and it is impossible for anyone to show favoritism." Zhang Anshi clapped his hands and said quickly.

After recording the previous contents, he went on to ask, "Your Majesty, who will determine the merits of these papers?" ”

Naturally, it should be the examiner who has the final say.

This examiner should preferably be the Son of Heaven himself.

The talents in the world are all from the hands of the Son of Heaven, so they can naturally control the government.

But at this moment, Huo Guang is still there, and Liu He can't say anything.

"The first in the Han Dynasty is the general, this time it can be selected by him, after the selection, I will rank, and the top three will be selected, the first name is called the champion, the second name is called Tanhua, and the third place is the eye of the list."

Zhang Anshi didn't understand the meaning of this word, and he had never heard of it.

But the Son of Heaven said so, and he just had to write it down.

In this way, it seems that Huo Guang has got the lining, and Liu He has gained face.

In fact, on the contrary, in the matter of the imperial examination, face is the most important thing.

The officials who are promoted will naturally thank the general, but the first three will be grateful to the Son of Heaven, and they hold the highest position, naturally they are the dragon and phoenix among the people, and controlling them can be regarded as controlling the talents.

"How is it, has Zhang Qing written it down?"

"Wrote it down."

"That'...... I also bothered Zhang Qing to report this matter to my middle father, so that I could reflect my reliance on my middle father, so as not to think too much about it. ”

Liu He looked at Zhang Anshi with a pair of starry eyes quite clearly, as if he was ordering and seeming to request.

Zhang Anshi seems to understand the true meaning of the Son of Heaven, but he doesn't seem to understand.

But in the end, I still respectfully agreed.

"Then tomorrow, I will call Bingji, and I will see him."

"Yui!"

Bingji, I'm finally going to face him face-to-face.

All four more are complete!
