"To be a Lang official?

Will the sons and daughters of the powerful, all of whom are well pampered, be willing to enter the palace as guards? ”

Liu Ji was a little surprised.

"Who said you were only a servant of the guards?

This group of Lang officials is relatively special, close to the left and right, staff on political affairs, and military guards.

In the future, he can be promoted to become a high-ranking official, and he can also be sent to a local place to be a commander. ”

Lu Pheasant told the story,

"Your Majesty, think about it, which of these old courtiers didn't give birth to several sons?

Those children who are destined not to attack the title in the future, or those who have great ambitions and are unwilling to rely on their ancestors, instead of being wasted, or idle every day, it is better to enter the palace to endure some hardships and sharpen themselves. ”

Langzhong's original meaning is "in the corridor", and as the name suggests, it refers to the palace guards who served in the left and right corridors in front of the king's palace.

This setting appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and in the Warring States Period, there was no shortage of Lang officials or Lang Zhong in the palaces of the Seven Kingdoms.

And the scope of Lang's duties has also changed, no longer limited to serving the guards, but gradually serving in political affairs, and becoming a close minister who can meet and discuss with the emperor on a daily basis.

In the last years of the Warring States Period, the famous Xiangbang Gongsun Yan, Li Si and others all entered the office as Lang officials, and then went all the way to the marquis and paid homage to the prime minister.

This is a talent pool for future young talents and senior officials, and it is also safe to use after knowing the merits of the roots.

"That's right, it's just that there aren't so many Lang officials in the palace."

Liu Ji stroked his beard, still a little hesitant in his heart.

"It is the time to stabilize people's hearts, so why not add a few more vacancies to Your Majesty.

Those who can write come to be confessors and speakers, and those who are capable of martial arts come to be guards in the forbidden area, and make the best use of them. ”

Lu Pheasant understands Liu Ji's hidden worries, he has never been at ease with the heroes, and before this personal expedition, he specially emphasized that she should keep an eye on the family house of the heroes and veterans, and it is precisely for this reason.

And her position is different from that of Liu Ji, and her personality is not as eloquent as his, so her perspective on this group of young people is also completely different.

If the children of young heroes can be Lang, although their rank is not high and they have no real power, they are forbidden to enter and exit, often serve the king's side, and accompany the escort, and their status is special, which is not trivial.

This group of people has gone through some training, and they are a new force of the dynasty.

In this way, there will be no repetition of the dilemma in the early Han Dynasty in history, the heroes died of death, except for the old, in the face of the Xiongnu who committed the border for many years and repeated rebellions in the country, the huge imperial court was not available.

More importantly, she has full confidence that she will accept this group of second-generation heroes as people who can be used by herself.

"Well, okay, I'll tell them tomorrow.

When my army sets out, you can choose slowly from house to house.

Remember to balance the interests, and everyone who can be named, regardless of relatives or relatives, must be chosen by each family. ”

This is again the principle of mutual balance and mutual checks and balances, using the contradictions between heroes to ensure that these officials will not join forces against themselves.

The emperor's deep self-satisfaction was so serious that it was so serious.

Lu Pheasant nodded slowly,

"I estimate that there will be more than 100 people selected for this batch of Lang officials.

Say hello to Your Majesty first, lest you feel that there are too many faces in the palace. ”

She laughed in her mouth, but secretly thought in her heart:

The children of meritorious heroes and high-ranking officials are counted as a group,

The talents selected by the county inspectors regardless of their origin are counted as a batch,

Wealthy families are also counted as a group of wealthy families who invest in changing the future for their children.

Coupled with the elite of the good family selected by Mrs. Zhang from the six counties in the northwest, there must be great materials that can be made.

The crown prince Liu Yingruo has been close to them since childhood, and they have grown up together, and they can be regarded as a group of ministers who can be relied on as their right-hand men.

Her carefully arranged move was silent, not so much to reserve talents for Liu Ji's court, but to cultivate wings for the prince and herself.

The plane trees in Luoyang City finally have a chance to attract phoenixes.

"This group of Lang officials have to live in a group, and now, inside and outside the palace, it will be lively."

In the face of a rare opportunity, Lu Pheasant was in a good mood, and there was no grief or panic before the emperor's personal expedition, Liu Ji was a little displeased, and said with a straight face,

"You let your uncle and grandson teach them etiquette well, don't make any trouble.

Also, the inner master that Qi Ji asked for has come from Zhao State, you can see you later.

By the way, she also said the day before yesterday that she wanted to ask for a new name for the palace where she and Ruyi lived.

She said that the word 'fish algae' is good, and I don't think it's bad, or it should be called the fish algae palace. ”

"Oh, did you tell her about it?

Why didn't she go with you this time? ”

Lu Pheasant twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, unable to suppress his curiosity.

"Oh, when I saw her yesterday, I mentioned it vaguely.

She was crying and wanted to go with me, but I insisted on refusing, it was too dangerous, so I gave up. ”

"Well, since Zhao Yuan is here, I'll see you by myself, the rules of Luoyang Beigong are different from Handan, I will let people teach her well.

As for the word fish algae, whether it is good or not, who can understand it by uncles and grandchildren?

I'll ask my uncle and grandson when I go back. ”

is really the same as recorded in history, Qi Ji's step-by-step approach is self-inflicted, and she is smart, but in fact, she is known to passers-by.

***

The word "fish algae" is originally from the "fish algae" chapter of "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya", taken from the sentence "The fish is in the algae, depending on its pu, the king is in the pickaxe, and there is that its dwelling".

The moral of these sentences is good, by singing the praises of the self-satisfaction of the fish swimming among the algae, and the harmonious atmosphere of the people living and working in peace and contentment.

And Mrs. Qi's careful thinking was all buried in the sentence "The king is in the pickaxe".

It's just because the "king" mentioned in this sentence does not refer to an ordinary prince, but to Ji Fa, the king of Zhou Wu who lives in the pickaxe capital.

What is it called Yuzao Palace, it is called Yangde Palace, let her concentrate on self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and don't do those futile and meaningless battles, Lu Pheasant sighed deeply, and faintly felt a headache,

"Since you want to change the name of the palace, then simply let Shusun Tong take those doctors and change the names of all the concubines' residences one by one, so as to be auspicious.

is about to be recruited in person, so don't disturb Your Majesty's holy hearing about these trivial matters. ”

"Okay, I'll leave it all to you.

By the way, your Queen's Seal, be sure to put it away, and you can also collect this Troop Mobilization Tiger Talisman. ”

Liu Ji took out a shining golden tiger talisman from his arms, and his eyes were uncertain.

"At the critical moment, the seal book and the tiger talisman are used together, and troops can be dispatched."

Lu Pheasant took the tiger talisman, only to find that the tiger talisman of the Han Dynasty was carved exquisitely, the tiger talisman was covered with flowing cloud patterns all over the body, the gold characters were wrongly written, it was in the shape of a crouching tiger, and the head was raised and the tail was raised.

She held the cold tiger talisman in the palm of her hand, and the memories of her past life came flooding back unexpectedly.

The talismans of the Tang Dynasty were also made of gold or copper, but most of them were fish-shaped, taking the meaning of "carp" homophonic to Li Tang.

The head of each fish charm has a small round hole, which can be worn with a rope and carried around.

At that time, it was popular for officials in the DPRK and China to wear a splendid fish bag outside the fish charm, and tie it around the waist with gorgeous gold and silver threads, which would be dazzling at a distance of several zhang to show their status.

Later, she changed Tang to Zhou, and in order to express the orthodoxy of the Wu clan, she simply changed even the fish talisman to the turtle talisman representing Xuanwu.

And at this moment, she is no longer entangled in the appearance of the talisman-

Whether it is a fish-shaped, tortoise-shaped, or a crouching tiger in front of you, the shapes of all kinds are virtual, and only power is real.

Lu Pheasant raised his head slightly, and grasped the tiger talisman in his palm,

"You go steadfastly, just sweep away Zang Di."
