"There are numbers on the couches, and the numbers are sent to Lang Guan's hands in advance, and they only need to follow the map."

"Well, that's very good, what does the middle father think?" Liu He asked.

"Well, it's the same as the marching formation, Zhang Anshi and Bingji did a good job." Huo Guang said lightly.

Liu He asked everyone again: "Are there many sons and nephews in the prince's family who participated in this imperial examination?" ”

Lang officials can not only be produced through inspection, but also through doctoral disciples, shadow officials, Ren Zi, etc.

Therefore, among the sons and nephews of the three princes and nine kings, there are also many Lang officials.

"Lao Chen's family has two sons and nephews who are present!" Cai Yi hurriedly said.

"Wechen's younger brother is also there." Tingwei Li Guang also said.

"Wechen's wife and brother are also at the moment." Shaofu Lecheng said.

"Dogs should also be referred to." Da Honglu Wei Xian said.

"The same goes for dogs." The servant Du Yannian followed.

……

Among the three princes and nine kings, there are so many people who have sent their sons and nephews to refer to it, which is also the reason why Huo Guang can't stop it - if he stops it, wouldn't it mean that the children of the Huo family are inferior to others?

Liu He was very satisfied with this result, he nodded, and asked Huo Guang again: "Father Zhong, can Huo's sons and nephews also come for reference?" ”

"Well, it seems that there are six or seven people, and the old man is busy with government affairs, so he hasn't asked." Huo Guang said it lightly, but there was a hint of self-satisfaction.

It's hard for Huo Guang to think about it, six or seven people are already a lot of people, plus the rest of the Huo Party's sons and nephews, I'm afraid there are dozens of people involved with Huo Guang.

If this imperial examination is not conducted, then Huo Guang will slowly arrange them to the court, which will be terrible.

Liu He felt more and more that the imperial examination was imperative - it was a way to cut off the foundation of the Huo Party.

At this time, what Liu He didn't expect was that Liu De actually stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty, Liu Anmin, the son of Weichen, is also present"

Everyone and Liu He were a little stunned, what kind of excitement did Liu Anmin come to join?

Liu Anmin is indeed a Lang official, but he has been appointed as Zong Zhengcheng.

There are many people like him who still retain the status of Lang official after taking up the actual position, although they can also refer to it nominally, but they will not really refer to it.

"If I'm not mistaken, An Min should have already taken the position of Zongzhengcheng, this is an official position with a rank greater than a thousand stones, and his career is smooth, so why should he refer to it again?"

"Wechen also persuaded the dog, but he picked up Wechen's shortcomings, and he was much more stubborn than ordinary people, not to say that he had to compete with Zhulang officials, so as not to be said to be promoted by his father's shadow."

Liu He is very satisfied, this is to roll up.

Liu De said very calmly, but the more Huo Guang listened, the more unhappy he felt.

Rely on his father's shadow to obtain official positions, and rely on connections to promote officials.

Isn't the former talking about Huo Yu, and isn't the latter talking about himself?

Where is this teaching his son, it is clearly referring to mulberry selling Huai.

This Liu De is determined to go against himself.

Huo Guang found that he had some carelessness, and the imperial examination did not seem to be simple.

Not only can we use the same standard to select more talents for Dahan; It can also eliminate the disadvantages of nepotism as much as possible.

What can be beneficial to Dahan may not be beneficial to Huo Guang: due to negligence, Huo Guang has missed the best opportunity to refuse this matter.

If he stands up to overturn this matter now, not only will the Son of Heaven be unhappy, but I am afraid that other officials will also be displeased.

Huo Guang is not afraid of hundreds of officials, not even the Son of Heaven, but he doesn't dare to be too out of line.

Of course, Huo Guang's worry was only temporary.

Nowadays, the Huo Party in the court is quite powerful.

As long as the probation system is still practiced, then a large part of the talents selected from the people will still come from Huo Guang.

And in the promotion of officials at the level of the county minister, it is also up to him Huo Guang to have the final say.

In several joints for selecting talents, the imperial examination can only interfere with the slightly frivolous link of Lang Guan's first appointment as an official, and the impact is not great.

Besides, can't the sons and nephews of so many people in the Huo Party stand out from the imperial examination?

It's just a joke.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang sat calmer and regained his former calmness.

After Liu He asked the princes' families one by one who they had referred to, he immediately said happily: "It is my luck that the sons and nephews of the princes can be so motivated, so let's see who can stand out today!" ”

"No!"

While speaking, all the reference officials had already entered the scene, and they were all sitting on the couch in an orderly manner.

Standing on a high platform and looking down, they are like chess pieces of different shades.

The court game is like a chess game, they are originally chess pieces.

And it's also a few that can be discarded at any time.

Only when you succeed in fighting in the court and become the remaining ones can you become a stronger pawn.

Of these more than 1,000 chess pieces, how many can win?

It was another three-way drum beat, and Bingji shouted again: "Please ask the Son of Heaven to solve the question!" ”

Liu He stood up and took out a piece of cloth from his arms.

handed it over to Yu Wuwu beside him, and then Yu Wuwu handed it over to Bingji's hands.

It's a small thing, but it's also a big thing.

Say it's a trivial matter, because it's just the title of an article; It is said to be a big event, but it can reflect the thoughts of the Son of Heaven.

Is the article a small skill of carving insects, or a great cause of the country?

This is the point made by the usurper hundreds of years later.

"This topic was come up with after thinking about it for a long time, listen to it, how is it?" Liu He smiled mysteriously.

As soon as Liu He's voice fell, Bingji read out the title in a louder voice.

"On the Duke of Qi Huan and Guan Zhongzun Wang Zhengyi!"

Huo Guang was suddenly startled, and he was happy, and he couldn't help but smile a little more under his beautiful hair.

The Son of Heaven has a good topic, Yi is naturally a Huns, and it seems that the Son of Heaven is going to continue to build momentum for the Huns in the coming year.

What's more, Duke Qi Huan is the Son of Heaven, so Guan Zhong is of course his own auxiliary minister.

I don't know how many people in the article of Lang Guan will praise themselves.

It's a pleasure to think about.

This topic can not only show Lang Guan's position on this matter, but also arouse the views of the court in the market.

The Son of Heaven is good, and he has some skills in governing the government.

"On the Duke of Qi Huan and Guan Zhongzun Wang Zhengyi!"

……

The speaker passed the question around, and someone brought a huge wooden board, wrote the question on it, and carried it to be displayed in the examination hall.

After a small commotion, the candidates began to answer.

Because papermaking has not yet been fully implemented, expensive silk can only be used as writing materials for them.

If it is used in bamboo slips, then stacking these articles may take up a lot of space.

The sound of turning the silk cloth is quite soft, unlike the sound of turning a book.

The entire examination hall fell silent all of a sudden, and no other sound came.

There are also patrol guards around the examination institute, who are led by the subordinate officials of Guanglu Temple, walking back and forth according to the prescribed route to prevent anyone from cheating.

The time of the exam is one hour, and the drums are beaten every quarter of an hour to remind the lang of the time.

On the high platform, the officials were quiet at first, but then they discussed in a whisper.

Or discuss the topic, or discuss the imperial examination itself.

In short, they were very interested.

Liu He pricked up his ears and listened, and most of what he heard were beautiful words.

This is even more satisfying.

"Father, what do you think of this topic?"

"Your Majesty's topic is very good, it can unite the people's hearts and build momentum for the Huns in the coming year." Huo Guang said.

"That's what I think, big things are handled by my middle father, and I can only do some small things."

Yan must be called the middle father, which is Liu He's biggest weapon.

Find what Huo Guang wants to do, do it well in your own way, let Huo Guang taste the sweetness, and let yourself not suffer.

Confrontation in cooperation, cooperation in confrontation.

"Your Majesty can worry about state affairs, which is a blessing for the Han Dynasty."

When Liu He heard this, he seemed to have received great praise, and he was so excited that he said yes again and again.

The Lang officials worked hard to write, and Liu He and others were idle.

Liu He didn't miss this time, and asked Huo Chengjun about his daily life quite enthusiastically, which made Huo Guang, his father-in-law, blush.

In this way, the two gradually have another layer of emotional bonding.

I'm so obedient, the general should be more tolerant of me.

Among the people present, except for Liu De and Bingji, who clearly knew that the Son of Heaven wanted to be pro-government, the rest were still kept in the dark.

Whether it was the Huo Party or the Neutral Party, they were also very pleased to see the harmony between the Son of Heaven and the general Weng Son-in-law.

……

An hour is short or long, and it will pass in a blink of an eye.

"The time has come, stop writing, paste the name, and close the scroll!"

After the rapid sound of drums, the messenger once again passed down Bingji's order.

The officials gradually stopped their pens and began to sew up the names on the rolls with the needles and threads prepared in advance, and then someone came to collect the rolls.

In a short time, all the rolls were put away.

"Lang Guan leaves!"

The officials who came in a hurry hurried away again.

After a while, all the Lang officials were clean, and the examination hall was empty again.

Liu He stood up, and all the officials also stood up.

"Father Zhong, let's go with me and take a look at the scrolls of these Lang officials."

"Yui!"

……

The plain silk with words written on it was placed on the front rows of several tables, each stack one or two feet thick.

Liu He casually flipped through a few copies and was very satisfied.

"Bingji."

"Wechen is here."

"Pick out all the curls that are not strictly named, and eliminate them first."

"Yui!"

Soon, thirty or fifty papers with missing names were picked out.

Huo Guang saw that the Son of Heaven was so meticulous, and naturally understood that he attached great importance to this matter.

So I remembered some rumors before the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, as if the Son of Heaven cared about these trivial things.

Prudence is prudence, but some patterns are missing, Huo Guang did not bring it up, and the Son of Heaven still needs time.

"Father, do you know what to do next?"

"The old man doesn't know."
