Chapter 181: The Sword Commands the World


Three days later, outside the Weiyang Palace, five hundred scholars selected by the imperial court stood on top of the main hall one by one, wearing their most appropriate clothes.

Liu Xiegao sat on the dragon chair, looked at the five hundred scholars in the hall, and said with a smile: "First of all, I want to congratulate you, from today onwards, you have been officially hired by the imperial court. ” "Your Majesty," Yang Xiu and the others hurriedly bowed towards Liu Xie.

"This selection of talents, the selected ones, there are former officials of the court, there are also folk wizards, the court employs people, regardless of background, only look at ability, but you should not be too inflated, the pen is shallow, whether your actual ability can be attached to your article, and time and your actual ability to prove, so, you can only start from the county order."

Liu Xie smiled: "You have any opinions" "The ministers have no objections" A group of scholars hurriedly bowed down and said, the county order, it is not difficult for Yang Xiu and these children of the family, but for the children of the Han family, such an opportunity to prove them is not easy.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear."

A scholar suddenly stood up and bowed.

"Talk" Liu Xie was not annoyed, nodded, and looked at the other party encouragingly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After bowing, the scholar said loudly: "According to the minister's view, this time the palace selects talents, and the topics discussed are all on the topic of governing one side, but the minister thinks that my generation of scholars, since they should be well-read, is not a bad way to govern the country, but the way to govern the country is not all scholars, why does Your Majesty only use the rule of the country to measure talents?"

"I have already discussed this issue with Taifu."

Liu Xie nodded: "It's not that I don't think other knowledge is important, but I want to ask all of you, for a county order, these books of sages may make the people healthy and well-fed."

"This is not possible, but the learning of the sages is in the edification, not " The scholar frowned and tried to explain, but was interrupted by Liu Xie.

"This is self-deception, the way of the sages, lies in the edification of the truth, but for the first term of the official, the first thing is to make one party safe, the people are rich, if you can't even eat, survival is extremely difficult, and who is willing to listen to the sage's teaching" Liu Xie's majestic eyes looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The way of the sage can make people cultivate themselves, but the way of the official is to do practical things for the people and share worries for the court, especially in the current troubled times, what I need is talents who can govern the world for me, not rhetoric, I only know empty talk, so this selection of talents is mainly pragmatic. ” When the scholar heard this, he said no more, bowed and bowed, and then retreated to the queue.

"Your Majesty, the minister also has a question."

The other man bowed down.

"Speak," Liu Xie nodded.

"This selection of talents, a total of 500 talents, but as far as the minister knows, the current jurisdiction of the imperial court, that is, Hetao, Zhangye and other places are counted in it, and there are only more than 260 counties, how can these 500 people be divided" The man bowed and asked.

"This is another happy event, just three days ago, the day of the imperial court's release, I have received a good news in Shuzhong, General Huang Zhong has successfully pacified Shuzhong, although there is still a slight rebellion, but the whole territory of Shuzhong, now most of it has fallen into the hands of my court, this selection of talents, not only to choose Yongliang Heluo, Nanyang Hetao officials, but also to elect a part of the officials to go to Shuzhong to take office, in addition, Yingchuan Liu Bei has already handed in the table at the beginning of the year, willing to enter the court, Yingchuan, Dongjun, Jiyin and Chenliu four counties have also returned, you think, These places, five hundred officials, is it enough" Liu Xie looked at the ministers with a smile.

As soon as this statement came out, the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, although there was news before, but at this moment it was confirmed by Liu Xie himself, which also means that the situation in Shuzhong has been decided, that is to say, now the imperial court is not inferior to Yuan Shao in terms of geography and population, before that, there are still people worried about the future of the imperial court, after all, Yuan Shao after the capture of Qingzhou, the prestige is great, as if there is already the image of the northern overlord, and although the momentum of the imperial court in the past two years is very strong, even the former first prince Yuan Shu has been eaten to death, but compared to Yuan Shao, the prestige is still slightly insufficient.

Now in Shudi, this situation is different, regardless of region, population or military strength, the imperial court is not under Yuan Shao at all, but the imperial court still occupies the righteousness, in this case, the imperial court has a faint advantage, which also gives these scholars who have been sure to be sent to be sent to the county order have greater confidence.

"If you have any questions, you might as well tell me."

Liu Xie looked at everyone and smiled.

A group of scholars shook their heads one after another, the previous two points were the two points they cared about the most, one was the fairness of this selection, and the other was the future, and now Liu Xie gave an explanation, and also eliminated the doubts in their hearts.

"Wei Zhong."

Seeing this, Liu Xie didn't say anything more, and turned his head to look at Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong bowed, unfolded a silk book in his hand, and said loudly: "Next, the distribution of all scholars will be announced, and those whose names are read are invited to come forward to receive official seals and documents." ” When a group of scholars heard this, they hurriedly stood solemnly, looking at the silk cloth in Wei Zhong's hand expectantly.

"Yang Xiu, Hetao has three county orders."

"Whoa" "Li Ren, Hetao Guangmu County Order."

"Whoa" "Your Majesty, why do you let the outstanding go to these barren places to serve as county commanders" Yang Biao couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that Yang Xiu had been sealed in the Hetao, and hurriedly came out of the queue, bowed down and asked.

"Taifu, don't be impatient."

Liu Xie shook his head with a smile: "In addition to restoring the country, the most important thing for the imperial court is to open up the wasteland. ” "The so-called land reclamation is to develop those places that are rich in resources but have not been developed, and although such places are remote, they are also good places to establish merits, and if they can enrich a barren county, their merits are far greater than the merits made in governing a rich county, and they can prove their abilities more."

Liu Xie looked at the courtiers and said with a smile: "Pacifying the world, after all, it is a civil war, but I don't want these outstanding talents to be spent on the civil war, rich counties, just need to follow the step-by-step process, even if the governance is good, the potential has long been exhausted, and if these remote places can be well governed, it is the pillars of talent I really need, and these places are enough to become a whetstone, I can promise, as long as these remote counties take office, after three years, they will be transferred back, as for how to arrange at that time, Let's look at your performance and achievements in the border areas in the past three years, and I hope you will encourage you. ” "The ministers will live up to His Majesty's trust" Yang Xiu and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts when they heard this, and hurriedly bowed down.

"Go on."

After pacifying everyone, Liu Xie turned his head to look at Wei Zhong and said indifferently.

"Oh" Wei Zhong bowed and began to recite again, this time it was very thorough, not only the main counties under Liu Xie's rule were appointed, but also Dunhuang, Yanqi, Juyan and other places in the Western Regions, there were also county orders to distribute, it can be seen that Liu Xie's hand stretched out very long this time, and the people sent by these remote places are all outstanding performers in this selection, and it also makes everyone see some of Liu Xie's thoughts, this majesty's ambition is not just as simple as dominating the world.

The appointment of 500 men had actually been assigned in the course of these three days, and it did not take much time to assign them at this moment, and after a quarter of an hour, they had already been assigned.

"In addition to the counties that are now inherent now, there are also many county orders in Shuzhong and the Western Regions, in order to ensure that you can take office safely, I have selected the candidates for the county lieutenant and the tiger lieutenant in the lecture hall, and then I will escort you to take office together, as for the court lieutenant, it will be directly assigned by the imperial court, I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for my Han to gain a foothold in the territory and lay a solid foundation."

"The ministers obey His Majesty's holy decree" The five hundred county orders bowed to Liu Xie one after another, and said solemnly.

"Everyone, go back and rest, I hope that you Aiqing can rush to take office as soon as possible within the deadline."

Liu Xie got up and said, "If there is nothing else important, let's retreat." ” "Greetings to Your Majesty" In the worship of the ministers, Liu Xie took Wei Zhong and Xu Chu and left Weiyang Palace directly, and a quarter of an hour later, in the Chengming Palace, Jia Xu came to Liu Xie's side with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have won the land of Shu."

When meeting Liu Xie alone, Jia Xu was much more relaxed, and said to Liu Xie with a smile.

"Get up."

Liu Xie shook his head and smiled: "I never thought that Fengxiao would do so crazy this time, although it will inevitably destroy the people's livelihood in Shuzhong, but it has also completely broken the foundation of the family. ” Guo Jia directly stirred up public resentment with food this time, according to the information obtained by the secret guard and the secret guard house, in the entire Shuzhong, more than half of the family completely disappeared, even if they survived, it was also a big injury to their vitality, although therefore, it also made Shuzhong chaos, but after the chaos, there must be a great rule, and now Huang Zhong's army has entered Shu County, occupying the three capitals of Shu County, and Qin Yong's forces in Guanghan are connected together, although the southern part of Yizhou has not yet been pacified, but the general trend has been achieved, and it is only a matter of time to pacify Yizhou.

"Shuzhong, my court will no longer have any worries, and next, Your Majesty can take this opportunity to summon Liu Bei into the court."

Jia Xu reminded with a smile.

"Hmm."

Liu Xie smiled and nodded: "Since you can't find a genealogy, let the Zongfu set up a genealogy for King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei, this person, has been fighting in the south and north for many years, although he has suffered a lot of defeats, but he has been able to defeat and fight repeatedly, and now he has become a prince, which cannot be underestimated, but if he can use it well, this person should be a helper." ” "Your Majesty."

Jia Xu said with a smile, if it was before, he was still worried about whether Liu Xie would be able to control a heroic figure like Liu Bei, but now that the three studies are about to be completed, the framework formulated by Liu Xie has been implemented, and this piece of the country has been beaten down by Liu Xie, since Liu Bei has the name of his clan, it is absolutely impossible to oppose Liu Xie, otherwise he will die by himself, since there is no possibility of rebellion, such a person is a talent who can take charge of himself.

"Next, it's the world," Liu Xie stood up and laughed loudly. t1706231537:
