Wang Ji rode a horse, surrounded by dozens of knights, and slowly drove on the road to Luoyang.

And behind him, there is a carriage, and there are honor guards in front and behind, which is the high-level travel of the Great Wei at a glance.

When the group came to a city again, they prepared to rest there.

Naturally, the officials here hurried to greet them.

In the face of Wang Ji, the assassin of Jingzhou, these county officials were sincerely afraid, and when the people in the carriage walked down, they were even more afraid.

The man who stepped down from the carriage was Wang Chang, the general of Zhengnan.

Wang Chang is now in his sixties, but he is a high-ranking and powerful person, in the four expeditions and four towns, because of the "big" word, even if the four expeditions are at the same table, he can be among the best, and sit at the forefront of military meetings.

Wang Chang got out of the carriage, looked around, and then said to Wang Ji: "Let all the officials go back, we are just resting here, and we will leave tomorrow, and we don't need them to serve." ”

Wang Ji received the order, and immediately ordered the officials not to visit him, but to go back first.

The local officials bowed three times and then left.

Wang Chang followed Wang Ji towards the mansion arranged by the local officials, and as he walked on the road, Wang Chang suddenly said, "Your Majesty's policy is still useful. ”

Wang Ji nodded, "Along the way, the changes have become more and more obvious. ”

"When I first came out of Jingzhou, I could still see a lot of people who were scattered, those who rode horses, and those who wanted to hold a big banquet, and the situation of not being able to find officials seemed to be a little better now."

"Your Majesty really wants to govern the world well, and he sends his servants to various places, not just for his own fame."

Wang Chang commented: "Since ancient times, the real purpose of this servant is not to picket the place, but to let the world know His Majesty's kindness and to show grace to the place. ”

"To put it simply, it's just a few strokes for the historian."

"But His Majesty is different today, he is really in order to rectify the rule of officials, along the way, I can see that the officials dare not slack off, the really talented officials are complacent, and the officials who have made mistakes are extremely frightened, and even want to ask the old man for help."

"This is a man who does practical things."

Wang Chang spoke highly of the emperor.

The two entered the inner room and sat down facing each other.

Wang Chang said: "I will arrive in Luoyang soon, there are some things I want to discuss with you." ”

Wang Chang and Wang Ji have guarded Jingzhou in these years, and the two sides have cooperated well, and they can be regarded as having some friendship, although they are not as close as Yangzhou Assassin Shi Wenqin and Biqiu Jian, but there is no big difference.

Wang Ji hurriedly made a look of listening carefully.

Only then did Wang Chang speak: "The old man received two letters. ”

"The first letter was written by the Zhonghui of the servants, and he hoped that the old man would go to Luoyang to meet His Majesty."

"The second letter was written by Shang Shufu Xun Yi, and he hoped that the old man would go to Luoyang to meet His Majesty."

Wang Ji asked: "Then for whom did the prince come to Luoyang this time?" ”

Wang Chang smiled bitterly, "This is what I want to discuss with you." ”

"For whom?"

Zhong Hui and Xun Yi now represent two different camps.

Although both sides assisted the emperor and ruled the world, they pursued completely different things.

Since Guo Zhang's incident, the relationship between the ministers and the emperor has become more and more acute, although the Yongliang victory made the emperor suppress the ministers, but the ministers did not succumb.

Do you want to be favored by the emperor, or do you want to be supported by the ministers?

This is a major issue facing Wang Chang.

With Wang Chang's qualifications and status, he is really worthy of Zhuge Wang Su, the three dukes in the temple, except for Zheng Chong, no one can stabilize him.

If the temple wants to appoint a new general, putting aside the kinship relationship in His Majesty's heart, then Wang Chang is definitely the most priority.

Not only because he has a big character in the prefix, but also because his clan is huge and has been passed down from generation to generation.

Wang Chang obviously wants to advance and retreat with Wang Ji, and it is best for both sides to stand in the same camp.

Wang Ji pondered, and then asked, "Prince, what do you think of how Your Majesty compares to the great general?" ”

"Your Majesty is still young, and in time, it will be even better."

"And how do you think you compare to the general?"

Wang Chang laughed, "Then I know how to choose." ”

The two rested here for a day, and then sped up their speed to Luoyang.

The situation in the place is improving, and the inspection of the servants still plays a certain role, even if it is just a temporary pretense, it is much better than before, and Wang Chang believes that the most important thing is that this move has inspired a lot of talented and hard-working talents.

The overall quality of the officials of the Great Wei Dynasty is not high, but this does not mean that there are no virtuous talents among them, especially at the bottom, and there are still many outstanding talents from poor families.

As for the outstanding talents from the big family, there is no need to worry about the situation that they will not meet the talent, they are born in the big family, and they can get ahead without talent, let alone those who are talented?

The people who are buried are often those from low backgrounds.

In the fourth year of Qinglong, Emperor Wei Ming issued an edict to seek talents, Sima Yi personally recommended him, and Wang Chang entered the emperor's sight.

Wang Chang later served as the assassin of Xuzhou, he attached great importance to the rule of officials, vigorously promoted many talents from the bottom, and dealt a heavy hand to the officials under his command.

At the same time, he cultivated farmland in the local area, hoarded grain and grass, and did an excellent job in government affairs.

Later, when Cao Fang, the king of Qi, asked about the strategy of governing the country, Wang Chang wrote again and gave him five political strategies.

These five articles of governing the country can be regarded as one of the few contents in the entire Great Wei that are aimed at the level of government of officials.

This is also the reason why Wang Chang cares so much about the emperor's rectification of the rule of officials.

Wang Chang's five articles on the book, no one can surpass him until now.

He believes that in governing the country, the first thing is to advocate Taoism, encourage academics, suppress empty talk, build schools on a large scale, let students enroll, and cultivate talents.

Second, it is necessary to set up an examination system, the examination is a standard, there is no standard can not measure the merits, there is no examination and appointment and dismissal, and it is nonsense to see whether the other party has talent through evaluation.

Third, he believes that the tenure of officials is too short, and they should be promoted directly without any political achievements, and that a longer term should be established, and their behavior should be observed, and those who have political achievements should be promoted and appointed.

Fourth, to reduce the actual income of officials, let them know that honesty and shame! Don't let them squeeze the people!

Fifth, luxury is strictly prohibited, reference is advocated, and restrictions on the residence, travel, clothing, and diet of officials should be imposed, and they should not be allowed to mess around, and those who dare to exceed a certain level should be dealt with as the crime of trespassing.

To be honest, Wang Chang's five-point book is formulated according to the level of contemporary officials and many hidden dangers.

From Wang Chang's book, it can be seen that the officials at that time did not pass the examination, had no talent, had low talent reserves, had no political achievements, liked luxury, and oppressed the common people

Just from these five points, and Wang Chang dares to write like this, you can know that Wang Chang's vision and talent are far ahead of the ministers.

The emperor was very happy and felt that what Wang Chang said was very reasonable.

The edict praised him, and then put him in charge of the exam.

But because of this, there is no follow-up.

The emperor seems to be more concerned about the few strokes in the history books, and on a certain day in a certain year, month, and year, the minister proposed a very important political strategy, which the emperor gladly accepted and rewarded him.

But what about the back?

Not later.

Wang Chang later said that he did not know how to take specific examinations and calculate political performance, and that he should find a person who specializes in this aspect of knowledge, and everyone should work out the specific implementation methods for such examinations and political performance.

But what, no one cares anymore, they all reward you, and what are you doing with so much?

Wang Chang walked along the way and saw the changes in officials in various places, so he had his previous feelings.

Wang Chang is a person who can really do things, but he is also a little worried in his heart.

Although the emperor is determined to rectify the rule of officials, but his ideas are not very recognized by the ministers, they are all verbal support, but will not be formally adopted, this young emperor, can he understand these letters of mine?

Although the emperor has shown a certain talent in strategy and military affairs, the emperor has not made any contribution to governance.

If you want to implement these government affairs, I am afraid that you will face too much pressure.

Wang Chang sat in the carriage and slowly closed his eyes.

No matter what the emperor thinks, he still finds an opportunity to mention this matter, maybe he will be a little interested?

The group soon came to Luoyang.

After making a decision, they will no longer delay in observing the situation, and the speed will naturally be very fast.

When they came to Luoyang, the emperor naturally went out to greet them.

The return of the four generals to the dynasty should be on such a scale.

"Meet Your Majesty!!"

Wang Chang bowed down to Cao Chao, and Cao Chao looked at the general in front of him.

Another cronie of the Sima family.

Although he is a close confidant of the Sima family, he is from a big family, and he is not the same as a person like Zhuge Dan who seeks fame, which side will he choose to stand on?

The attitude of the ministers towards him was different from that towards Wang Su, and if he was willing to help the big clan, the ministers would welcome him.

Cao Chao smiled and helped him up.

"I heard that General Wang is in poor health, but now it seems that he has recovered?"

"Because of Your Majesty's kindness, the minister is no longer in any big trouble, and when he learned that His Majesty summoned him, he came in a hurry and did not dare to delay."

Cao Chao immediately asked the ministers to come to visit, and Cao Chao cared more about Wang Ji standing behind him than Wang Chang.

Wang Ji is an underestimated general, his strategic level is extremely high, in history, he has expressed his views on the strategy of the temple many times, almost no mistakes, his strategic vision is enough to discuss with Deng Ai.

Deng Ai resisted the Shu Kingdom, Wang Ji came to resist the Wu Kingdom, and my Great Wei is solid!
