Section 26 Humility

On the Mingtang Palace, Li Xu was wearing an apricot yellow round-necked brocade robe, his fists were clenched tighter than ever, the true qi of the red ground penetrated his right hand, and the tragic seepage of his left hand was hidden.

Han Gang sat on the brocade cushioned chair, and looked at the young official kneeling in the center with a cold gaze, this person looked no more than thirty years old, it was the time of the prime of life, Han Gang remembered that this person was of the same clan as himself, but the county was in Changli.

Han Gang looked at the Shangshu left servant next to him shot Pei Du, yesterday the emperor held a small ceremony for Pei Du in Baqiao, and all the Beijing officials above the fifth grade were present, giving the former Hedong Jiedu envoy enough face, which was also the third time Pei Du paid homage to the prime minister.

The long-term life of serving as a festival envoy outside has stained the sideburns of this famous and noble son with some wind and frost, but Han Gang himself has reached this age, even Pei Du, who was in the prime of life at the time, doesn't have much strength left, right?

Pei Du was silent, he looked at the official kneeling on the bluestone ground below, and his fingers inadvertently stroked the brocade stool under him.

The last time he paid his respects to the prime minister, he had asked the Emperor of God when he would be able to sit in the Mingtang Palace and attend the court meeting like Han Gang.

"When my son succeeds to the throne, that kid will naturally arrange a chair for you. ”

So said the violent monarch.

Sure enough, he had a seat in the Mingtang Palace, but the person sitting at the highest place in the Mingtang Palace was not the object chosen by the God Emperor, but fortunately, this Guangling County King did better, much better than the King of Chu selected by the God Emperor.

The heart in his chest was beating violently, and at this moment, Li Xu even felt that he might fall in the Mingtang Palace because of a sharp pain from a heart attack.

"Han Qianzhi, what do you mean by this!"

Li Xu originally thought that Dr. Guozijian was just scolding casually, but he didn't expect that in today's court, this person would directly attack him, almost pointing his nose and scolding himself.

Buddha, immorality, greed, tyranny, and unfilial piety, these five sins made Li Xu feel that a fire was burning his liver.

Worship the monks of Mobei Hu as a teacher, and reward the monks of Shaolin Temple, which is called the Buddha.

The assets of the good people in Beijing were seized, and the law was severely punished to frighten the people, which was called immorality.

Sending ministers of good fortune to Henan and other places to loot wealth can be called greedy.

Sending cool officials to prison and killing Manichaeans indiscriminately is called tyrannical.

As for unfilial piety, this Han Qianzhi wisely did not talk about the house arrest Empress Dowager Wen, but said that it was too late for the emperor to posthumously crown his biological mother as the empress dowager.

It should have been earlier, for example, when he had just ascended the throne and Empress Dowager Wen was still in power.

"Everything the minister says is for Your Majesty. ”

Han Qianzhi, the fourth doctor of the Guozijian, knelt at the bottom of the steps, he was such an official with a rank of no more than the seventh rank, if it weren't for the emperor's anger, he would never have received so many people's attention.

"For me?" Li Xu looked at the young official kneeling below.

When I was alone in the Qianqing Palace, I couldn't see you running for me.

Where were you when the Wen clan's henchmen cleared Lu Zhen's sword and pointed at my head?

Where were you when the Manichaeans were slashing and killing indiscriminately in the White Jade Kingdom?

Now that I have eaten and drunk enough, I have begun to remind me that I am a Buddha, greedy, and unfilial.

"Your Majesty is now pro-government, and everyone in the world is looking forward to it, hoping that Your Majesty will do benevolent government......"

"Dr. Han, what do you think is Renzheng?"

The anger in his chest gradually subsided, and Li Xu knew that his usual efforts to nourish his qi had finally taken effect, and he was in the mood to listen to Han Qianzhi finish his words slowly.

"Lightly dismiss the meager endowment to persuade the peasants, do not seek border merit to reduce the number of soldiers, and eliminate redundant officials to save the country's ......"

Han Qianzhi talked eloquently and explained his ideal governance methods to the emperor one by one.

And Li Xu didn't want to listen to it at all.

Light and thin fu, good, the population of Baiyu Jingzhong is close to one million, and most of these people's mouths rely on the Cao Yun of the imperial court to support, if they are light and thin, then there is only a stop of Cao Yun, Cao Yun stops, just relying on the grain sold by merchants, the price of grain in Bai Yu Jing will be more than half of the people in Bai Yu Jing will starve to death.

As for not seeking side work, it is true that you should not use military force, but if you don't ask for fighting, it doesn't mean that people won't come to visit the door, and the Uighurs and Tubo people are blocked at the door in the north and west, and what kind of sword is used as a plow.

As for the dismissal of redundant officials, who will be cut? Eliminate Dr. Guozijian Simen, you go home and eat old rice.

Han Qianzhi's voice was subdued, and Li Xu looked at the officials below with appreciative eyes, which showed that this person was indeed quite literate.

But Wencai and being an official are two different things, Li Xu asked Li Deyu to find the specific information of this Han Qianzhi last night.

This man had tried and failed many times before, and had served in the shogunate of several feudal towns, and was quite famous, and only recently passed the selection of the Ministry of Officials to serve as the Doctor of the Four Gates.

Not long after taking office, he sent several letters to Han Gang to explain the gains and losses of his politics and make suggestions, which can be said to be a rather simple Confucian scholar.

Li Xu used to often wonder why many famous poets and writers did not become high-ranking officials, but now he understands that if these people become rulers, they will probably have disastrous consequences.

"Speak out. After holding it for a long time, Li Xu spit out four words, although he really wanted to expel this Mr. Han and let him go home to be his writer, but he still had to put on a "widowed and educated" appearance on his face.

"Good. Li Xu got up from the dragon chair and personally walked to the steps to pull this Mr. Han up from the ground.

If he were Li Xu's other peers, this Mr. Han would have a different fate.

Replaced by Han Gaozu, Mr. Han's hat will most likely have a smell of urine.

Replaced by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Mr. Han most likely had to wear a helmet and armor to defend the north, and then his head was cut off by the enemy.

Replaced by Song Zhenzong, Mr. Han probably had to waste his life compiling books.

If it were Ming Taizu, Mr. Han might be used by Zhu Yuanzhang as a seed for his grandson to read.

Change it to any one in the Qing Dynasty...... probably didn't become an official before he was implicated in the literary prison and was cut down.

"Very well, I've been taught. Li Xu lifted this Mr. Han up hard, and he saw that the official's eyes were full of tears, and it was obvious that he himself was at least moved by his own spirit of sacrifice.

"It is a blessing for the country to have a doctor like Mr. ”

Li Xu has other people who can learn from him, and a great man said that you can't engage in closed-door doctrine. The road is not always straight, and the team does not have to be overly pure.

It is necessary to unite all those who can be united, to put forces on the main contradiction of the moment.

A Wenchen who doesn't know the specific situation doesn't need to make a big deal about it.

If you say whatever you want, I won't pay back a single copper plate of the money that should be earned.

"Widening the way of speech is the foundation of our government. How do Han Xiang and Pei Xiang think they should reward Dr. Han?" Li Xu put Han Qianzhi on his hand, although he was very unhappy, but he knew better how to guide this matter in the direction he wanted.

"Your Majesty can issue an edict to ask the civil ministers to be above the seventh grade, and the military ministers to be above the fifth rank to write on the gains and losses of major policies, so as to exempt them from the responsibility of overstepping their duties. Han Gang stabbed Han Qianzhi secretly with his words. "As for Dr. Han, the prime minister must start from the state and county, and the fierce general must be sent from the army. It is better to ask him to go to a state and county to take up a substantive position. ”

"Chengmen Lang or Bai Yujing City Order?" Pei Du suddenly interrupted: "Old Linggong, Dr. Simen is noble and dignified, so it is not appropriate to go out." ”

It's so bad, Li Xu glanced at Pei Du appreciatively, and felt that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Dr. Simen is a seven-rank official, and Chengmen Lang and Shiling are both Liupin, and Chengmenlang has a total of four people who are responsible for the opening and closing of each gate in the four directions of Bai Yujing, and Shiling is an official who is responsible for the order of the market in Beijing.

Compared with the four doctors of Guozijian, these two are hard work with a lot of things and heavy responsibilities, and it is difficult to do it well, not to mention, and it is very easy to make mistakes.

Letting Han Qianzhi serve as this official looks like a promotion, but in fact, he has lost his hardships at the grassroots level.

What Pei Xiang said was that the old man was wrong. Let Dr. Han be appointed as the city commander of Bai Yujing. Han Gang raised his eyebrows.

Last night, the emperor was furious because of Han Qianzhi's book, which is not news, since Pei Du wants to be angry for the emperor, Han Xiang is also happy to push the boat.

Mr. Han reluctantly made it difficult to do it. Li Xu looked at the unnatural expression on Han Qianzhi's face with satisfaction.

"Wechen thanked Your Majesty. Han Qianzhi fell to his knees again.

Li Xu nodded with satisfaction, he thought of a new policy, and this Han Qianzhi could just be a promoter.

The Bone Servant also has his uses.

After the end of the court meeting, Li Xu sat in the political hall, with Han Gang and Pei Du in his left hand and Cheng Qili in his right hand, sitting in the political hall and drinking tea.

This is the place where the real deal with militaristic affairs, such as having a really ruthless character to discuss how to deal with it.

"There are 2,000 armor soldiers of the Shence Army, and 1,000 armor soldiers of the Tianwei Army have all entered the palace, and there are 500 crossbows near the Qingliang Palace. Cheng Qili took a sip of tea: "Your Majesty wears soft armor inside, and the old slave stands aside, which should be safe." ”

Compared to that four-door doctor, today's highlight was to summon Yue Guhan.

After the Manichaean rebellion, the Chengtian swordsman Yue Gu Han was finally about to enter the palace.
