"Humph!" The palace, the palace of nourishing the heart, Ji Gong, who got Cao Jingzhong's report, angrily slapped a book on the table: "Just a traitor, dare to rebel against me!?" What is this? Do you want to protest with me? ”

The martial arts of the Cave View Realm are indeed powerful, but the imperial court is not without it, this Lu Xuan broke through to the Cave View Realm by luck, and his tail was cocked.

"Your Majesty, although this Lu Xuan is bold, his words are not unreasonable." Cao Jingzhong hesitated for a moment and said: "Yanzhou is indeed a little disobedient now, and the taxes have not been collected, it is better to take this opportunity to take advantage of Lu Xuan's hand to knock and beat, if Lu Xuan loses, it is a meritorious matter to ask for help, if Lu Xuan wins, then the officials of the counties in Yanzhou will have to ask the court for help, and Your Majesty can take advantage of the situation to regain control of Yanzhou!" ”

The little emperor actually wanted to directly send troops to suppress this Guiyi Sect, and he endured it with the big family, but he was only able to survive on his own, so why should he disobey himself?

But think about it, the most anxious about this matter is the county scholars in Yanzhou, the Guiyi Church has never been too friendly to the family and the wealthy, but Yunzhou is also prosperous because of this, in a sense, Ji Gong saw that Yunzhou became more and more prosperous after suppressing the scholars, so he was determined to suppress the hearts of the scholars.

There is no reason why what a thief can do, an emperor can't do.

It's just that this thief is a little too jumpy now.

"Well, according to your words, but no matter whether you win or lose, this Guiyi Sect must be suppressed, let that thief know that everything he has now is given to him by me, I don't give it, I can't take it, otherwise I will break his claws!" Ji Gong nodded.

"Your Majesty, Taifu Zhang asks to see you." Liu Chunhua came in from outside the palace and saluted Ji Gong.

"Well, please." Ji Gong nodded when he heard this, signaling Cao Jingzhong to stop the topic.

Soon, the elderly Zhang Shi walked in slowly on crutches, and when he saw Ji Gong, he immediately wanted to give a salute: "Minister, see Your Majesty!" ”

"Taifu Mo wants to be polite." Ji Gong hurriedly helped Zhang Shi up and invited Zhang Shi to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Shi got up slowly, looked at Ji Gong and said, "I heard that Your Majesty wants to recall the great Confucians who were degraded in the past to enter the court?" ”

"Hmm." Ji Gong sat down and motioned for Zhang Shi to take a seat before he muttered: "Now that Sikong is old, the position of Sikong is vacant, and the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household are also short of people now, I want to use a group of Confucianism of Hongru Academy to serve as these vacancies." ”

The great Confucianism of Hongru Academy has been in the era of Ji Huan, but it is a pity that he has been hovering in the corner of the power of the imperial court and cannot be reused.

Now that Murong Cheng has retreated, there is a power gap, and Ji Gong wants to take this opportunity to use a large number of Confucians.

In his opinion, the reason why the court has fallen into this situation is because the three major families control the government, and the court is all the henchmen of the three major families, and no one considers the court at all, so that the court has fallen to this.

What is a virtuous minister?

In the eyes of Ji Gong, those who can achieve the realm of fame and fame must have no problem in virtue, and only by letting these gentlemen take power, the world can get better.

"The matter...... The old minister advised His Majesty to think twice. Zhang Shi was silent for a long time, and then shook his head heavily and put forward his own suggestions.

"Why?" The enthusiastic Ji Gong felt that he had been poured cold water, he thought that Zhang Shi would be happy, but Zhang Shi did not look too happy, and seemed to be a little repulsed? This made Ji Gong a little confused.

"Confucianism, Taoism, and cultivation are not related to the ability to govern." Zhang Shi looked at Ji Gong very seriously: "And the current situation in the court is not something that can be reversed by one or two loyal ministers, and now the situation in the court is stable, and Your Majesty's method is too radical." ”

Confucianism and Taoism represent a person's conduct, but this is not the same thing as doing things.

Now these courtiers in the court, regardless of their private morality, but in terms of governing ability, after all, they have their own set, of course, this is not the most important, the most important thing is that today's court has formed a big net under the management of the Three Tigers over the years.

At this time, a large number of changes in the imperial court will inevitably set off a new round of party struggle, but the reality is that the imperial court can no longer withstand the destruction of a new round of party struggle.

However, these truths are still too complicated for a teenager who is only thirteen years old.

Ji Gong's face was a little gloomy, obviously he didn't agree with Zhang Shi's words, and it was not easy to attack, after all, Zhang Shi was the emperor of the two dynasties and the elder of the three dynasties.

After thinking about it, Ji Gong muttered: "But I really want to use some virtuous people, and the imperial court also needs some virtuous people to occupy high positions. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shi hesitated for a moment and said: "The old minister recommends a person to Your Majesty, and this person may be qualified for the post of Secretary of the Ministry of Rites or the Secretary of the Ministry of Households. ”

"Who?" Ji Gong's eyes lit up when he heard this, Hongru Academy is the orthodoxy of Confucianism in the world, and it is also the place he has always longed for.

"The great Confucian Li cherishes the year." Zhang Shi sighed and said, compared to others, Li Xinian was an official in the court back then, and he did a good job, the reason why he resigned and went into hiding, he was also unaccustomed to the atmosphere of the court and was powerless to change anything, this person has benevolence and means, and put him in the position of Shangshu, which can not only add a henchman to the Ji Palace, but also add a capable minister to the court.

"I've heard of him." Ji Gong nodded, Li Xinian's resignation made a lot of trouble back then, causing a lot of Confucianism to imitate, and Li Xinian's reputation also spread because of this, he looked at Zhang Shi: "Then the other ......"

"For other official positions, Your Majesty had better use them to envelop the officials in the court, and now the officials standing in the court, there are countless people standing behind each of them, and sometimes one person is enveloped, which is a series of envelopes, but who can be enveloped and who wants to be suppressed, Your Majesty still needs to be cautious." Zhang Shi reminded.

There are a lot of Confucian cultivators in the world's fame, but there are not many who are suitable for doing things, and many of them are returning to their hometowns after stepping into the realm of fame through the imperial court, and they don't ask about the world, as for the reason...... Zhang was very clear, but he couldn't criticize anything.

Although Ji Gong was unwilling, since Zhang Shi was unwilling to recommend it again, he could only put it down temporarily, nodded and said, "I understand, thank you Taifu for your teachings." ”

Looking at the appearance of Ji Gong, Zhang Shi knew that he didn't listen to his words, the young man was in power for the first time, he was always ambitious, his heart was higher than the sky, he thought that he could control everything, turn things around, not suffer a few losses, and he couldn't remember the lesson at all, but being on the throne, let him suffer a loss, and the impact was too great.

Today's Da Qian, I don't know if I can withstand such a toss.

Cherish the year, I hope you can bring some variables to this dry world.

Zhang Shi got up and said goodbye to Ji Gong, Ji Gong didn't stay, the answer Zhang Shi gave him today did not satisfy him, turned his head to look at Cao Jingzhong and said: "Draft an edict, order the general army of Yanzhou to be responsible for clearing the Guiyi Sect." ”

The general soldier is a position born after the decentralization of military power, and the commander-in-chief is a state and county soldier, which is also a three-product, in addition to the border army, the commander-in-chief of the state military affairs.

"The slave obeys." Cao Jingzhong bowed and said.

The order of the imperial court reached Yanzhou as quickly as possible.

Yanzhou, a county adjacent to Tongyang County and Qingyu County, was also the first to get the news, looking at the edict sent by the imperial court, a touch of ridicule flashed in the eyes of the Taishou of Tongyang County.

"My lord, what does the court say?" A staff member asked.

"Let me wait to get the bandit on my own!" Liu Wei sneered and handed the edict to his staff and said, "It seems that the Son of Heaven can't look down on his own dog." ”

"Your Excellency is wise, but it is also possible that the Son of Heaven is dissatisfied with the counties that have been delaying the payment of taxes, and deliberately let the dog bite people." After reading the edict, the staff smiled and said, "Do you have to inform the chief soldier of this matter?" ”

Liu Wei's mind flashed the slender posture of the chief soldier, and a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, Mu Feixue, the chief soldier of Yanzhou, is a rare female general, women in this world can also practice, and naturally they can join the army, but there are not many female generals who can do the position of chief soldier, Mu Feixue can take the position, in addition to her family background, the most important thing is that she is currently the only female five-grade powerhouse, and she only reached the five-grade strong in the year before last.

Of course, this is not the point, Tongyang County is the territory of the Mu family, Liu Wei was appointed Taishou, and the cooperation with the Mu family was very pleasant, Liu Wei once thought about marrying Mu Feixue to further consolidate the status of the two families, this is a very common thing, Liu Wei's family background is also worthy of the Mu family.

But this woman refused on the grounds of cultivation, and now she has climbed on top of herself by taking the opportunity of breaking through the five grades, and the two of them are naturally even more impossible, if Mu Feixue agreed to marry back then, now this Yanzhou is not the final say?

"Inform her." Liu Wei sighed, time has changed, now Mu Feixue herself can't afford to climb high, but let her see her ability, isn't it the fifth grade, the fifth grade herself doesn't have it, but the sixth grade herself has it here, and if you start a war with the Guiyi Sect, the mobilization of soldiers and horses will definitely pass Mu Feixue's pass.

However, he didn't take the Unified Religion too seriously, and when the Unified Religion was powerful, he also participated in the pacification of the rebellion, and it was precisely by relying on the work of pacifying the Unified Religion that he sat in the position of the Taishou today.

Lu Xuan gave him the feeling that he was just doing things ruthlessly, and in addition, there was no difference from the Standardization Sect back then: "Order someone to arrest the Unity Sect disciples, and let that Lu Xuan know that this is not Yunzhou, and it is not his turn to be a lackey to spread wild!" ”

"Yes!" The staff nodded in agreement and bowed back.

With the issuance of Liu Wei's order, a large number of Guiyi Christians in Tongyang County were beheaded or arrested, and the rudder that had just been established was directly destroyed by the county soldiers, and the head of a helmsman was sent to Qingyu County.

The news was quickly sent to Lu Xuan.

Sanyang County, Yamen.

Lu Xuan looked at the helmsman's head, his brows furrowed slightly, this Yanzhou's reaction was much more intense than expected, this was an active provocation to let himself pass?
