This headless and tailless sentence made Zhang Anshi stunned for a moment, and then he felt chills.

Didn't he say this sentence to Liu De in the study that day, why would the Son of Heaven know?

Soon, Zhang Anshi understood.

Naturally, Liu De told this sentence to the Son of Heaven.

At that moment, Zhang Anshi immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, why did you say this, of course I, Zhang Anshi, am the Guangluxun of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Then do you think I can take charge of the government in advance?"

This sentence is more impactful than the sentence just now, and in just a dozen words, it contains too much information.

has been above the court for a long time, and Zhang Anshi definitely has the ability to observe words and colors.

He immediately understood that the Son of Heaven had an opinion on the general Huo Guang, and his opinion was not small.

In this way, what Liu De said to himself that day also has a basis.

In the face of Liu De, Zhang Anshi can of course avoid it; But in the face of the Son of Heaven's questioning, Zhang Anshi had no way to avoid it.

"Zhang Qing, I'm asking you, do you think I can take charge of the government in advance." Liu He sat on the couch and asked expressionlessly.

The momentum he brought out faintly made the lights in the hall flicker.

Zhang Anshi looked back on everything he had done in the past two months since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, and he was full of emotion in his heart, and he soon had the answer.

If it was a month ago, Zhang Anshi might still be worried that the Son of Heaven was young and ignorant, and a moment of confusion would be detrimental to the general and shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

But now, that suspicion is gone.

He believed that the Son of Heaven would be a good emperor.

"Weichen thinks that His Majesty can kiss me in advance."

"Okay, with Zhang Qing's words, I can rest assured." Liu He continued, "Father Zhong is quite experienced in governing the government and politics, and he is even more conscientious, taking care of the Han people in an orderly manner, and he is a meritorious minister of the Han Dynasty, so I have no intention of being in charge at this moment. ”

"But as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I have the responsibility of governing the government, so one day I will be in charge of the government."

"So I hope to do something in the court from today onwards, but I don't want to keep my middle father from worrying too much, so I also ask Zhang Qing to hide something."

In order to give Zhang Anshi enough time to think through these questions, Liu He deliberately spoke very slowly.

Judging from the expression on Zhang Anshi's face, he should have really thought it through.

The Son of Heaven is virtuous and talented, as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, as long as he wants to be a loyal minister, then he should naturally obey the edict of the Son of Heaven.

How can you be at both ends of the first rat, facing three and four at dusk?

"The edict of the micro-minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's entrustment." Zhang Anshi bowed.

He understood that after this sentence was said, the Zhang family would really join the battle of the court, and I was afraid that it would be impossible to stay out of it again.

"In the past two days, the first thing you have to do is to carefully read all the articles of Lang Guan again, and pick out the following three types of articles."

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what are the three types of articles?"

"The first category is the articles that support the expedition to the Western Regions, but do not agree with the expedition at this moment."

"The second category is to mention Guan Zhong more and less to Qi Huangong, especially the articles that praise Guan Zhong."

"The third category is articles that mention more about Qi Huan Gong and less about Guan Zhong."

"After picking them out, classify the list of these Lang officials and give them to me."

Zhang Anshi thought of today's topic, and immediately understood the intention of the Son of Heaven.

Guan Zhong is Huo Guang, and Qi Huan Gong is the Son of Heaven.

Most of the Lang officials who praised Guan Zhong wanted to curry favor with Huo Guang, and the Lang officials who talked a lot about Qi Huan were naturally faintly dissatisfied with Huo Guang's dictatorship.

It turned out that the Son of Heaven still wanted to go through this matter to take a look at the hearts of the people among Lang officials.

"We're leading the edict."

"Remember, this matter can only be told to me, not to anyone else, including the middle father."

"Weichen naturally understood."

Liu He can't move Huo Guang at the moment, and he has to wait for an opportunity, but he has to start making some preparations more actively.

The family banquet not long ago made Liu He see that Huo Guang was still expanding his strength, so he naturally couldn't fall behind.

On this night, the lights of the Xuanmur Hall were always on all night.

Liu He explained many things to Zhang Anshi and Bingji.

If these two ministers told Huo Guang about the events of this night, then at the court meeting the next day, Liu He would probably be abolished immediately.

However, at this time, the Son of Heaven must show his flag.

Otherwise, those ministers who were loyal to the Liu clan would not know who to be loyal to.

The most powerful weapon in Liu He's hand is the emperor's righteousness and Liu's mandate of heaven.

Huo Guang could control the young emperor, but he couldn't control the Mandate of Heaven.

……

The next day, Bingji presented the checked list to Liu He, looking at the name of the person at the top, Liu He was very satisfied.

"Bingqing, this imperial examination is quite successful, but there are still shortcomings, after you go back in the next few days, you have to refine the process a little more, and you have to write a book that puts the imperial examination into all subjects of the inspection system, and then put it forward at the small court meeting a few days later, I want to implement it to all counties."

"Your Majesty, is this matter in a hurry, none of the general's sons and nephews have been recorded, will he ......?"

"The middle father is broad-minded, presumably there will be no difference in this matter, if there are many people on the Huo family's records, then the middle father may still obstruct one or two, and in this situation, it is even more impossible for him to obstruct it."

Huo Guang has many advantages, but it does not include the open-mindedness, so when Liu He brought it up, Bing Ji did not show a trace of a smile but not a smile.

"Bingqing, don't worry, you just have to put it forward, Zhang Anshi and the others will reconsider, and when the time comes, I will find a way to get the middle father to agree."

"Wechen understood."

Bingji retreated, and Liu He walked to the courtyard outside the Xuanshu Hall with his hands behind his back.

Those Changyi Lang under the corridor were much stronger than before, on the one hand, thanks to Gong Sui's training for them, and on the other hand, because Liu He took extra care of them.

Liu He specially set a dietary standard for them that exceeded that of their contemporaries, and increased the proportion of meat and eggs in their diet, just to see what kind of height the young people of the Han Dynasty could grow to if they were full of food and drink—I am afraid that they would not be shorter than those in the Western Regions.

In terms of Dahan's current productivity, it is not possible to make everyone eat so well, but at least it can be a try.

Looking at Chang Yi Lang, who was already much stronger two months ago, Liu He was very satisfied. In addition to being satisfied, I also feel much safer.

At the next small court meeting, Bingji will put forward the idea of combining the probationary examination with the imperial examination system.

This of course represents what Liu He meant.

This performance was an attempt by Liu He, and he wanted to see if he had the ability to let a new policy pass in the court.

Huo Guang didn't know that someone in the court had fallen to the Son of Heaven, but Liu He could see it clearly.

If it is just a temptation to give Emperor Xiaowu the temple number, then the implementation of the inspection system after the reform is a head-to-head confrontation.

Taking advantage of the fact that Huo Guang didn't have too much suspicion about himself, Liu He could make some bold attempts.

If it succeeds, then Liu He can use the way of spokesperson in the court to interfere more in court politics.

And the middle father's retirement will be earlier.

Regarding Huo Guang's ending, Liu He thought about it many times day and night.

In any case, Huo Guang is meritorious to the Han Dynasty, and has many supporters in the Han Dynasty and the rivers and lakes.

If you can let him land safely, you should let him land safely.

This is a good thing for Huo Guang and for himself.

Killing heroes, no matter what time it is, is a matter that damages the reputation of the king.

"Middle Father, don't blame me, the sooner you take power, the better it will be for you......"

Liu He looked at the sky, and a lone wild goose was flying south.

He flapped his wings vigorously, but he still drifted farther and farther away from the geese.

Liu He's gaze moved, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"I hope this old goose can reach the warm south smoothly."

……

A few days later, in the Xuanshu Palace, the small court meeting came again as scheduled.

Different from the previous court discussions, the focus of today's discussion is the matter of the imperial examination.

Many courtiers in the palace accompanied the Son of Heaven to Mingguang Palace that day to watch the entire process of the imperial examination.

So in the past few days, I have already discussed it many times in private.

Whether it is the Huo Party or the non-Huo Party, they are full of praise for this novel imperial examination.

It is better to hear than to see, the officials have seen the imperial examination at the moment, and it will be much easier for Liu He to implement it.

"The imperial examination a few days ago, at this time, there are already results, and the fifteen articles are all picked out by Zhang Anshi and Bingji led by the middle father, and each one has something outstanding."

"I have already ordered someone to copy a few more copies, so that the princes can refer to them together."

Liu He waved his hand, and Yu Wuwu sent the prepared copied exam papers, and everyone had an extra copy in their hands.

The courtiers watched and were amazed.

The level of the articles on these examination papers is amazing, and they are not only outstanding among Lang officials, but even beyond the opinions of ordinary officials.

Some of the opinions of Tiao Chen are quite innovative, and they are not just whimsical on paper, but good strategies that can be implemented one by one.

And the most eye-catching of them is naturally the top-ranked examination paper, and the vision and pattern reflected in the article are not under Jiuqing.

For a while, everyone wanted to know who was responsible.
