"I understand, I will discuss the construction of Pingling County with Le Qing and Ren Qing more, and there will be no chaos."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, even if there are some mistakes, don't worry, the old man will help Your Majesty deal with it properly." Huo Guang said these two sentences very confidently.

"Father, there are a lot of things to do, I still need some subordinate officials, can I recruit some subordinate officials to help me."

The selection of talents in the Han Dynasty is not only the inspection system, but also the system of expropriation - the emperor selects people called "Zheng", and the government and county elected people called "Pi".

The so-called conquest means that the emperor and the government, prefectures and counties directly ordered the conquest of a few famous and talented people and recruited them to serve as officials.

Compared with the probation system, the number of talents recruited every year is not large, but the talent is more prominent, which is a supplement to the probation system - the recruitment is to solve specific problems, but will pay more attention to real talent and learning, without considering the distance between relatives and relatives.

Of course, it is also a great honor for those who are recruited, especially those who are recruited by the Son of Heaven.

Liu He still lacks talents in his hands, especially those with experience in governance, so it is still necessary to find a group of officials who are "like-minded" with him from the existing official system, and reuse them while cultivating them, so that the efficiency of reform will be higher.

Huo Guang is a general, and he often needs to get rid of talents to serve as subordinate officials in the General's Mansion, so he naturally understands the intentions of the Son of Heaven.

"Since Your Majesty has opened a mansion and is a great Han emperor, of course you can issue an edict to recruit talents."

Liu He couldn't hide his smile, those capable officials who had already been set in his heart could finally start.

If you want the official seal, you want the official seal, you want the official seal, you have the power and responsibility, and if you want the power and responsibility, you have to belong to the official......

But this is not enough, Liu He still has one more thing he wants.

"Father Zhong, what I think is that I don't need to mobilize additional Lang guards and guards to garrison Menxia Temple, just use Changyi Lang, but now there are only thirty Changyi Lang, I'm afraid it won't be enough......"

"If the old man is not mistaken, Chang Yilang's post is three hundred, and His Majesty can consult with Guangluxun to recruit three hundred people." Huo Guang said.

Liu He was a little surprised, he didn't expect Huo Guang to be so generous.

The power of the court has been divided, and it is not a big problem to give a few more Langwei.

"Then I will discuss with Guangluxun to fill the posts of three hundred Changyi Lang within these months." Liu He was still in a consultative tone.

"Well, in the future, Your Majesty doesn't need to ask the old man about everything, and it is okay to make your own decisions."

Liu He nodded frequently, he had already guessed why Huo Guang was so generous.

I'm afraid that the general may have to admit at this moment that the emperor has gained a firm foothold in the court, and it is impossible for blind suppression to work.

Learning to respect the Son of Heaven is a new beginning.

In the next half an hour, Liu He and Huo Guang discussed some things around this temple, and finally finalized all the details.

……

In a court meeting a few days later, Huo Guang and the Son of Heaven cooperated to stage a double reed play: the former first proposed to let the latter participate in politics, and the latter reluctantly agreed after pushing back and blocking.

Except for a very few people in the know, the courtiers in the hall were shocked by this sudden proposal.

Although the miscellaneous doctors in the court, headed by Xiahou Sheng, have been swept away, and most of the remaining courtiers are pragmatic and capable officials, some people still question it.

"The Son of Heaven opened the mansion and built teeth, it is an unprecedented thing, the monarch and the ministers, their own ethics, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of rebellion, and it will be discussed by the world."

It was Da Honglu Wei Xian who stood up to play.

Da Honglu is one of the nine kings, and the matters under his jurisdiction include the entry of kings into the court, the planning of the county, the worship of princes and the heads of subject countries, etc., which are mostly related to local rituals.

Strictly speaking, he doesn't have much real power, and his position among Jiuqing is not high.

Although Da Honglu is average, the appointment of Da Honglu Wei Xian is not simple.

Wei Xian is sixty-five years old, and he is also a great Confucian who governs the "Book of Songs", but he has been in the court for a long time, starting from the doctor and giving things, successively serving as the doctor of Guanglu and the prince Zhan Shi, and only moved to the great Honglu a few years ago.

Because he has held many official positions, he is not as pedantic as Xiahou Sheng, and he can be regarded as a courtier who can be practical.

As soon as his words came out, many courtiers nodded frequently, and seemed to approve of this.

Then, several more courtiers stood up and expressed the same concerns—these courtiers were usually inconspicuous and rarely spoke in court meetings.

Liu He observed carefully and found some interesting things.

The important minister on Huo Guang's side did not speak, presumably Huo Guang had already greeted him in advance; The important ministers on Liu He's side did not speak, and they must have seen that this matter was beneficial to them.

Therefore, the person who stands up and speaks at this moment should be the "neutral party" that has no owner in the court - it is not accurate to say that neutrality, as long as they do not fall to Huo Guang, then they may become Liu He's help in the future.

What's more, unlike Xiahou Sheng and others, they are still able to talk about things on their own, rather than stubborn people who cling to Confucian scriptures and don't let go.

If Xiahou Sheng was present and heard that "the Son of Heaven wants to open a mansion and build teeth", I am afraid that he would die on the spot in this Xuanshu Palace.

Huo Guang slowly stood up and said calmly: "Duke Wei is polite, and the princes are reasonable, so can you listen to what the old man says?" ”

Wei Xian and the others naturally had no possibility of not agreeing.

"Since the Han Dynasty, it has been a privilege given by the Son of Heaven to courtiers, but there should be exceptions to everything."

"Take today as an example, Your Majesty is still young in this matter, and his experience in governance is insufficient, so he can only continue to be assisted by the old man, but no matter how long the auxiliary government is, after all, he will still have to return to His Majesty, and before that, it is natural to let His Majesty contact the government."

"But......" Wei Xian still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Huo Guang raising his hand.

"Duke Wei is not in a hurry, and listen to the old man's words, when Emperor Xiaowu was in the past, he once let the abolished prince Liu Ji supervise the country, and when he was in charge of the country, he could also recruit his own staff, and accumulate experience in governing the government while governing the country."

"Putting aside the crime of deposing the crown prince Liu Ju in the future, Emperor Xiaowu let him be imprisoned in the country, which is a move to kill two birds with one stone."

"Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne in a hurry, he has never had the experience of governing the country, so he must have an opportunity to contact and participate in the government affairs."

"Your Majesty's opening of the mansion is not much different from the crown prince's recruitment of subordinates in the East Palace."

"The old man has finished speaking, who agrees with it, and who is different?"

Huo Guang's words were reasonable, and although Wei Xian and the others still felt a little weird, they had to admit that this was a practical and good method.

Seeing that Wei Xian and the others were still a little hesitant, Huo Guang's eyes looked at Liu He, and after meeting the gaze of the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang nodded imperceptibly.

Liu He understood for a while, it was time to stand up and cooperate with the middle father and sing a double reed opera.

"I already know what Wei Qing is worried about, but I really want to share my worries for my middle father, I want to share my worries for Zhuqing, do some practice for the Han Dynasty, and do some practice for the people."

"I also hope that all Aiqing can understand my painstaking efforts and give me this opportunity, if I am not up to the task, I will definitely not add this position, and I should immediately dismiss the Menxia Temple."

Liu He's words seem to be very humble, but in fact, they stand on the righteousness of the people and the country, and they take full advantage of the truth.

Wei Xian and the others were not Huo Guang, and naturally they were not as tough and domineering as Huo Guang, so they hurriedly bowed down and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"Everyone, please get up quickly, I don't mean to blame, I just want to feel it."

Wei Xian and the others stood up at this time, and there was no longer any objection.

Huo Guang looked at Liu He and nodded with satisfaction again, and Liu He also smiled in return.

The emperor increased the generals, and above the court, no one could stop him.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu He immediately went to the Shangshu Office with Huo Guang, and the two of them decided together the edict of "the Son of Heaven opened the mansion and built teeth" in the Shangshu Office.

Looking at the edict sprinkled with hundreds of words, Liu He was very satisfied.

"Father Zhong, this is the first time I have come to the Book of Books, and it is also the first time I have drafted an edict."

"Hahaha, after the opening of the mansion and the construction of the teeth, Your Majesty can often issue edicts." Huo Guang said with a smile, seeing that the Son of Heaven was so excited, he had no doubts and dissatisfaction, but felt that the Son of Heaven was good.

Huo Guang is so contradictory, when facing the Son of Heaven, the public heart prevails; When I think of the Huo family, selfishness is dominant.

Swinging, presumably painful.

And this is the time when the public heart takes over.

The autumn sun shone through the cracks in the roof tiles, making the young Liu He look particularly vibrant.

Huo Guang looked at the Son of Heaven and was very relieved.

Compared with Emperor Xiaozhao, who was depressed all day long, the Son of Heaven at this moment is indeed more like Emperor Xiaowu.

"Middle Father, the edict is ready, is it going to be stamped with a jade seal?"

Huo Guang nodded.

"Today, can I come and stamp the jade seal?"

"It's nature."

Huo Guang got up, took a heavy black and red lacquer box from the shelf behind him, and solemnly placed it on top of several cases.

Under Huo Guang's encouraging gaze, Liu He held his breath and slowly opened the pitch black.

The legendary heirloom jade seal appeared in front of Liu He's eyes.
