Zhao Ziliang said: "Liang Guogong is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
What is the current situation of official administration in the Tang Dynasty?
I think Liang Guogong must know why the Tang Dynasty has become the current situation.
Don't the previous Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel have certain responsibilities?
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is one of the six ministers.
First, he recruited talents for the imperial court and was in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials across the country.
Examinations, promotions, transfers, conferring honors and other matters carry heavy responsibilities.
Take a look at the moral character of the officials in various places and the officials in the imperial yamen.
Liang Guogong believed that if the officials appointed by the Ministry of Personnel in the future are still the same as these officials now , what future does Datang have?
To put it bluntly, this country will always belong to your Li family.
Yes, it has nothing to do with us people with foreign surnames, but why are we still here thinking so hard about it?
If the Li family doesn't think about the country, how can they expect outsiders to sacrifice their lives for justice?
Since I have brought Liang Guogong here today, I will simply Let me get straight to the point and tell Liang Guogong, the official department must be the official department of the imperial court, not The responsibility of the staff of a certain person is to select talents for the court, not to cultivate cronies for a certain person.
I said this, Duke Liang should understand.
If the staff continues to cultivate cronies for a certain person, if Liang Guogong is For his own selfish interests and disregarding the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty, I might as well ask Duke Liang to go home and take care of himself in his old age."
The rich expressions on Li Xian's face showed that he was extremely uneasy in his heart.
Once upon a time, he was an upright person and a minister who dared to directly remonstrate with the emperor.
Now he has become Yuan Zai's minion.
He was so favored that the emperor could not listen to anyone, but he could definitely listen to Yuan Zai's words.
In order to maintain the power and honor of the family, he had to succumb to Yuan Zai.
After a long time, Li Xian stood up tremblingly, bowed to Zhao Ziliang, and cried: "Prince Regent, I am guilty, I am guilty."
Zhao Ziliang sighed: "When your father, King Xin'an, was still alive, he never formed a party.
He made outstanding achievements but was never arrogant.
He was upright and selfless, yet strong yet gentle.
He had the highest prestige among the clan ministers.
He often spoke frankly about the opinions of Li Linfu and others in front of the emperor.
Although Li Linfu and others hate their evil deeds, But there is no choice.
Although evil is rampant, it can never defeat the righteous.
Duke Liang, I can understand your thoughts and concerns, but if the ship of the Tang Dynasty sinks, how will your family be spared?
Egg, don’t you even understand this simple truth?”
Li Xian kowtowed repeatedly: "The older I get, the more confused I become, and the older I get, the less courageous I become.
I am really blinded by lard.
I am guilty.
I have brought shame on my father and ancestors.
I deserve death."
"You can correct your mistakes if you know them, but there is no such thing as a good thing.
It's still too late to correct them now."
Zhao Ziliang said and stood up to help Li Xian up.
Li Xian sat down tremblingly again, like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to move.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Liang Guogong, since the mistakes you made in the past have resulted in bitter consequences, you have to make up for it yourself.
The official department can no longer cause problems, and it can no longer be a yamen where a certain person cultivates his cronies.
From now on , Liang Guogong must strictly control the situation."
Li Xian said quickly: "I understand that as long as I am still the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, from now on, I will never let those with evil intentions, no talent and no virtue, cunning people, opportunists, poor official reputation, flattery, and flattery.
The disciples were promoted and appointed.”
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said with a smile: "What Mr.

Liang Guo said is a bit too extreme.
He is not a cunning person, an opportunist, a bad official reputation, a flatterer, or a flatterer.
To be an official and to be promoted, you must be satisfied.
Several conditions: First, you must be absolutely loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
When your personal interests conflict with the interests of the Tang Dynasty, you must be able to sacrifice your own interests to fulfill the interests of the Tang Dynasty.
This is the overall view.
Second, you must have the ability to do things for officials.
How can an incompetent person do things for officials?
As long as you have talent, no matter if you are a cunning person, an opportunist, or a flatterer or a flatterer, you can do it.
Officials, everyone has his own use, and how to use him is a matter for the superior.
Such people have their uses, but they cannot be prime ministers or important ministers; thirdly, morality is also an important indicator for examining officials."
Li Xian cupped his hands and said, "I understand what the king means."
Next, Li Xian intermittently told Zhao Ziliang the internal secrets of the prime minister's faction, and Zhao Ziliang had a deeper understanding of Yuan Zai.
Yuan Zai is capable, but he is too greedy and nepotistic.
Even with people in his family, if they are not in his party, he will not make friends or interact with anyone.
As prime minister, he allowed himself to add and tamper with his own will when drafting the merits and demerits of court officials.
When appointing officials below the sixth rank, he also reported the emperor's edict without review.
Some court officials secretly reported to the court, and he found out about them and had them in public.
He died with a royal stick.
From then on, the officials and the people dared not speak out against him, and no one dared to discuss his misdeeds.
After Zhao Ziliang listened to Li Xian's revelation of the secrets of the prime minister's faction, he thought for a long time and said to Li Xian: "The selection test for the civil service department will be held in two days.
At that time, I will personally conduct the final assessment on all the candidates who are on the list.
You will also participate when the time comes.”
Li Xian agreed: "Yes, I will arrange it."
After Li Xian left, Gao Shang came to report: "Your Majesty, Brother Shu Yao from Xiangyang sent someone to ask for help.
This is the second time he has asked for help in the past half month."
Zhao Ziliang frowned when he heard this, "It seems that the situation over Ge Shu Yao's side is very critical, otherwise the messengers asking for help would not be able to come so frequently, and when the whole city is under siege, it takes a lot of effort to send people to break out.
Is there any news about Guo Ziyi’s heavy price?"
Gao Shang said: "The palace has not received any news in this regard.
Weichen has sent people to Zhongshu Province to inquire, but they have not received the news.
In fact, Weichen is too anxious.
If there is any news from Zhongshu Province, it will definitely Someone will be sent over immediately.
It is impossible for them to withhold information about this kind of military and national event.
Once the delay causes huge consequences, no one can bear this responsibility."
Zhao Ziliang walked back and forth in the main hall for several times with his hands behind his back.
He stopped and asked, "Where are the people sent by Ge Shu Yao?"
"The king wants to see his humble minister and immediately order someone to bring him in."
Gao Shang said and immediately turned and left.
In less than a cup of tea, Gao Shang walked in with a soldier covered in dried blood.
"Your Majesty, this is the messenger sent by Ge Shu Yao."
The soldier immediately bowed down and said: "I pay my respects to the king."
"Get up, brother Shu Yao's letter for help is here."
"Here" the soldier took out a crumpled letter from his arms and handed it over.
Zhao Ziliang took it and opened it and looked at it.
In his letter asking for help, Ge Shu Yao said that the situation in Xiangyang was very bad.

There were less than 10,000 soldiers in the city.
Since the siege had lasted for two months, the food supply in the city was very poor.
It is almost exhausted.
In order to prolong it as much as possible During the defense period, he had to order to collect all the food in the city.
Everyone only had one meal a day, and they could only eat half full.
Many people were so hungry that they scraped off the bark of all the trees in the city and cooked them.
The animals were killed and all the livestock were slaughtered.
After reading the letter, Zhao Ziliang said: "The situation in Xiangyang City is indeed more serious than we imagined, but it is much better than when Zhang Xun guarded Yongqiu and Suiyang.
You must know that Yongqiu and Suiyang were guarded back then.
For more than a year, a mouse has been sold for tens of thousands of dollars, but now The situation now cannot be compared with that of the past.
The Anlushan Rebellion had just begun and the court's prestige was still there.
Now that the world has been warring for a long time and the court's prestige has plummeted, the soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City may not necessarily have the confidence and endurance to do so.
We must find a solution as soon as possible if we have to stay for more than a year.”
Gao Shang nodded and said: "Yes, there is no need to be old now.
Wei Chen thinks that there is no need to care about the gains and losses of a city or a place.
He can give an order to Ge Shu Yao and let him act according to the opportunity.
If he can hold on, hold on and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
If not If you hold on, break out, preserve your strength, and then rendezvous with reinforcements, and then wait for an opportunity to recapture Xiangyang."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the soldier who delivered the message was still standing there, and shouted outside: "Come here, take the messenger down to rest, arrange food and lodging, and provide him with some accommodation when the siege of Xiangyang is lifted."
Let him go back to find Brother Shu Yao."
"yes" After sending away the soldier who delivered the message, Gao Shang asked: "Your Majesty, I have always been confused about something.
There is not no military strength around Xiangyang.
If some troops can be mobilized from Jiangling, Ezhou and other places, we only need to appoint another general to lead the troops. , we can quickly go north to contact the surrounding areas of Xiangyang.
Why does the king have to send troops to rescue from the Chang'an court?"
Zhao Ziliang asked back: "Drop troops from around Xiangyang and appoint a Jiedu envoy?
Once such a position is appointed, it will be difficult to remove it.
Nowadays, the government and vassal towns in various places will never think that the military power is too heavy.
As long as they have the opportunity, they will try their best to do so."
Use all means to seize the military power in your hands."
Zhao Ziliang's meaning is very clear.
If troops are to be mobilized from the surrounding areas of Xiangyang to form a large army, then food, grass, weapons, and all combat materials must be recruited from the local area.
If the general in charge wants to fight the war wholeheartedly without logistical concerns, he must exercise restraint.
In the surrounding states and counties, in this way, only the official position of Jiedushi can meet the conditions, and political power, financial power, and military power are all obtained.
Now that Zhao Ziliang is planning to reduce the power of generals in various places and separate political power, financial power and military power to prevent the creation of more vassal towns, how can he continue to appoint officials such as Jiedushi?
Gao Shang understood what Zhao Ziliang was thinking, and he said: "Wei Chen understands the king's concerns, but as a result, the regent's palace is a little constrained in many cases."
Zhao Ziliang said: "There is nothing we can do about this.
The mess left by the late emperors can only be endured and cleaned up by pretentious guys like us":
