Chapter 556: A Taste of Power


Thanks to a5244a for tipping.

Zheng Chun probed his brain at the entrance of the hall, and Liu Xun saw it and said, "What's the matter?"

He has a gentle temper, not to mention Xiao Luzi, the head of the eunuch, even the little chamberlain who waits beside him, is not very afraid of him.

He often announced that Cheng Mo came over to talk about the world, not every time he talked about political affairs, and there were some gossips, so Zheng Chun dared to come over at this time.

"Your Majesty, the small one has a few peaches, do you want to present them" Zheng Chun flashed out with a smile, holding a vermilion lacquer plate in his hand, and a few peaches cut into petals on the lacquer plate, red and gorgeous, arranged in the shape of peach blossoms, extremely attractive.

"Come in."

On a hot day, it's better to eat some cold fruit than to drink hot tea.

Zheng Chun got the order, quickly brought the lacquer plate in, put it on the imperial case, and went out in small steps.

Eating the peaches that had been frozen in the well water, Cheng Mo missed the watermelon very much, but at this time, the watermelon had not yet come in from the Western Regions, and there was no place to buy it if he wanted to eat it.

The two ate peaches, wiped their hands, and Liu asked: "According to the eldest brother, who is suitable for Guangluqing This official position has a large number of vacancies, and the ranking can be determined in the imperial examination in the spring of tomorrow, where will these official positions be filled?"

Most of the people who were imprisoned this time were civilian officials, there had been no war in the past 20 years, Huo Guang was both political and military, he was reused, he was grateful for his kindness, only he was in his eyes, and most of the people who did not have Liu Xun were civilian officials.

Governing the country needs to rely on civilian officials, and one radish is a pit, and now a lot of work is grasped, and who is asked to do the work can only be selected from the official reserves.

The head of the reserve is Guang Luqing, if it is his own person who sits in this position, where can Liu Xun worry about no one being an official, but it is useless to say these now, Liu Xun's growth experience determines that he is cautious in doing things, and he is not sure of the character of not daring to act, if it weren't for Wu Jiao roaring at him in front of the Manchu Dynasty in the early days, he also planned to give him a poor performance rating and let him cover up the matter.

This Guangluqing must be his own person, and the talents who will enter the imperial examination in the future must also be tempered and tempered by Guangluxun in advance, so that they can be released or arranged to be lacking.

Liu Xun made up his mind, and he also had a candidate in mind.

Cheng Mo would give him an idea, pretending to be silent for a long time, and said: "The minister is still short as the prime minister, the government affairs have just started, and the abilities of the colleagues are not very familiar, so I can't recommend talents to drive in front of Your Majesty, please don't blame Your Majesty." ” If the person being recommended is unable to convince the public, or does something out of the ordinary, or even commits a crime, the recommender is jointly and severally liable.

This is also the reason why the recommendation system has slowly become a privilege of a certain class, you recommend my son, I owe you a favor, and after a while, I recommend your grandson in return, everyone is okay, and everyone is finished together.

In this way, the risk is much smaller.

Those families have another set of teaching their children, and the chance of disdainful of their children and grandchildren is still very small.

Cheng Mo, as the prime minister, is responsible for assisting the emperor in handling government affairs and recommending talents, if it is usual, this is within the scope of his duties, and it is naturally incumbent, but now that Liu Xun has tasted power for the first time, sharpening his knife Huo Huo, how dare Cheng Mo give him an idea, the emperor's heart is like a deep sea, in case he thinks he has snared his henchmen Liu inquired: "My character is acceptable, but my ability is slightly insufficient. ” Le Yuan is a fanatical loyal emperor, who is the emperor of the Liu family, who he is loyal to, this was the case during the reign of Emperor Zhao, and the same was true when Liu Xun succeeded to the throne.

When Huo Guang was in power, he was not afraid of Huo Guang's power, and wrote many times, asking Huo Guang to divide power with the emperor, but fortunately, Prime Minister Huo Guang could support the boat in his belly, and he could continue to be his official alive and vigorously.

Liu Xun's move has the meaning of pushing Leyuan out to fight with Cheng Mo.

Huo Guang retreated, and Le Yuan turned to impeach Cheng Mo and regarded himself as the emperor's eldest brother, which was a great rebellion.

In fact, Liu Xun called Cheng Mo so in private, Cheng Mo still abides by his duty as a courtier, but in Le Yuan's opinion, this is Cheng Mo's or not, the emperor calls you eldest brother, you should die to admonish, how can you shirk twice Until Cheng Mo became the prime minister, he impeached Cheng Mo for three days and monopolized power, requiring Cheng Mo to choose between the prime minister and the guard.

Such a person who is loyal to himself, Liu Xun naturally wants to promote.

Cheng Mo understood his thoughts, hooked the corners of his lips, and said: "You can still learn if you don't have enough ability, but if you can't have good character, then you really can't use it."

Le Qixuan has a noble character, just for Guangluqing.

Your Majesty is wise. ” It is true that Le Yuan's ability is not enough for Guang Luqing, but Liu Xun said it bluntly, and he also had the intention of testing Cheng Mo, but he didn't expect Cheng Mo to support it so simply.

A pleasant smile appeared on his face, and he said, "So, the eldest brother is going to edict." ” After Cheng Mo came through, he immersed himself in reading the knowledge of ancient texts, practicing calligraphy hard, although he did not become a calligrapher now, he could barely read, otherwise how could he dare to give instructions on the fold but listened to him to draw up the edict, or was startled, he thought that he did not have this literary talent, and said busily: "The minister is ashamed, the literary style is average, how can this edict be prepared" The previous edict was served by Huo Guang, and the edict came from him.

Liu Xun studied hard in the private cushion for two years, and it was no problem to write the edict, but Huo Guang retreated, and the edict was written by him personally, but it was also written in a decent manner.

Liu Xun didn't expect that on a whim, asking Cheng Mo to write an edict would scare him like this, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why should the eldest brother be arrogant?"

Cheng Mo's cheeks rose a thin red, and he said: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty must also appoint an edict to be edicted, how can any edict be written by Your Majesty?"

This edict is the highest level of official documents, to be read in public, will be collected by the official eunuchs who received the edict, some edicts, will be copied by people with a heart, dignified empire, how can not even write an edict well Liu Xun thought for a while and said with a smile: "What the eldest brother said is true, Du Daru is famous all over the world, if he is by my side, I can also ask for teaching every day." ” The great Confucianism of this era is still very reliable, and it is by no means a person who sells his reputation and reputation, first of all, he has a good character, and secondly, he can learn to be the top, and the third is to be extremely pragmatic in dealing with people, and those rotten Confucians in later generations are not the same.

At that moment, Xuan Duqing entered the palace.

When Du Qing heard that he was appointed as an edict, he was very surprised, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "The minister is lecturing in the capital, and if he becomes an official, he will not have so much time to lecture." ” The refusal was not complete, but it can be seen that I am still moved.

Although the edict is low, it is in the center of power, and its power should not be underestimated.

Cheng Mo said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, Mr.

Du can teach students during the rest of the day, or you can agree to teach the students on the day of January, or you can just teach the students, and when Your Majesty needs to draft an edict, you will be announced to enter the palace." ” There's always one for you, depending on how you choose.

Du Qing was very surprised, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty wants to go to the morning court, can the minister enter the palace in the morning." ” The early dynasty would deal with a lot of government affairs, and sometimes it would be necessary to issue edicts.

"Very good."

Liu Xun made the final decision. t1706231537:
