He held his breath and took a sip of tea with a sweet smell to make himself appear calmer, before he said outside: Xuan!
General Meng came this time to ask for merit for the front-line soldiers.After returning to the dynasty after victory, it is a reward for meritorious deeds.In the past, Emperor Jingchang never cared about these things and threw them all to Prime Minister Ye.General Meng also came to ask for instructions this time, and he didn't have much hope, but this time it was a little unexpected for him.His Majesty did not throw the fold aside as in the past, but read it seriously, and whispered to the young and handsome courtier on the side.Not long after, Li Jinyu put down his fold and coughed: General, is the moisture of your reward too heavy?
General Meng's excerpt was originally used to bargain with the prime minister, and Prime Minister Ye is not a stupid person, he knows the importance of the army, and he is also afraid of the strength of the general's faction, and he will not block the army's reward.But on the pension and salary, General Kameng was what he did.After a few times, General Meng simply reported more rewards and pensions, leaving room for bargaining with Prime Minister Ye.General Meng looked at Li Jinyu with some surprise.He didn't expect His Majesty to take a serious look at this fold, and he didn't expect His Majesty to see that there was moisture in this fold.It seems that the other generals who stayed in Beijing said that His Majesty seemed to be working hard, but it was not him.General Meng Da simply said: This excerpt was originally written to the prime minister, and if Your Majesty wants to approve it, only half of it can be approved.Li Jinyu choked slightly.Fang Cai Huo Caiyu explained in his ear the stakes between General Meng and Prime Minister Ye, but he didn't explain that General Meng was such a direct person.Because of Huo Caiyu's life experience, Li Jinyu naturally has empathy for the army, and readily approved it: I am approved, and I also ask the general to say hello to the soldiers on my behalf.General Meng looked at Li Jinyu happily, the surprise on his face could not be concealed at all, he looked Li Jinyu up and down, and asked with some hesitation: Your Majesty is unwell?
Li Jinyu: I'm fine, the general is too worried.In the past, Prime Minister Ye was able to provide money and food to General Kameng, which was nothing more than coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, relying on His Majesty to do nothing wrong; Now that Li Jinyu has approved the excerpt, General Meng has full confidence to ask for money from the household department.General Meng, who had the money, was in a much better mood, and then Huo Caiyu tactfully raised the topic of overthrowing the prime minister, and General Meng did not refuse, but just pondered for a moment: The prime minister is now intertwined and has many connections with the imperial family, can Your Majesty consider it?
The Meng family is the maiden family of the Empress Dowager, and it can be regarded as an authentic relative of the imperial family, so Meng Zhenglang naturally knows the relationship between the imperial family and the prime minister's faction.He naturally didn't have any good feelings for Prime Minister Ye Cheng, who had made the court miserable, His Majesty could still be regarded as his son and nephew, what is Ye returning to his hometown?
!
The prime minister was able to win over the family, which was nothing more than using the official position of the court as a bargaining chip.Huo Caiyu said lightly, cut off this road, and the prime minister's faction is rootless water.can sit on the position of a general, Meng Zhenglang is naturally not a stupid person, and he guessed in an instant: imperial examination?
Nowadays, the imperial examinations and tributes in the DPRK and China are mixed, and Prime Minister Meng has many loopholes.His Majesty intends to revise the methods of the imperial examination and the tribute examination, so that the whole process of the imperial examination will be closed, and the best candidates will be directly reported to the imperial court, and His Majesty will personally take the palace examination, and will no longer be examined by the magistrate.Emperor Chang didn't care about the palace test at all.Meng Zhenglang was unexpectedly many times today, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Huo Caiyu: What about the tribute?
The tribute is still retained, but it is changed from the recommendation of the magistrate and the county guard to the joint recommendation of the officials, and there is a probationary period.Meng Zhenglang chewed on the word with some confusion: probationary period?
Right!
Huo Caiyu's eyes suddenly brightened a lot.The concept of the word probationary period was put forward by Li Jinyu and won Huo Caiyu's heart.The meaning of this word is not difficult to understand, Meng Jilang quickly clarified Huo Caiyu's meaning, and nodded appreciatively: This is a good idea.Immediately, his face turned pale, but Master Huo still did not explain how to solve the obstruction of the imperial family.The purging of the imperial examination and the tribute examination, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is aimed at the prime minister's behavior of selling official positions, so will the royal family who has tasted the sweetness agree?
If the royal family itself is too busy to take care of itself, how can it be called resistance?
Huo Caiyu took out another document and put it in front of General Meng, and the general read it.This is a decree for the current royal family.To put it simply, it is a son-in-law and a concubine.Throughout the ages, the dispute between the concubines has always been an enduring contradiction among the major families.In the past, the Ogi Dynasty did not attach much importance to the concubine, and if the concubine was too angry, the head of the family could enlighten the court and exchange the title for the concubine.This method was originally intended to encourage the children of the big family to be motivated and not to be greedy for pleasure, but now it has changed its taste.If you can please the head of the family and get through the relationship, you will have a chance to attack the lord.Prime Minister Ye Cheng's selling industry is so thriving, it is inseparable from the support of these eager children of the family.This law directly blocked the way for the concubine to compete for the family property, and if the concubine wanted to get ahead, he could only honestly take the scientific examination; The son-in-law can smoothly inherit the title of the family, but if he wants to enter the office, he can only go to the tribute, that is, the official joint recommendation and the probationary period.In this way, the concubine can keep the wealth, and the concubine who has nothing to do has a way to go.Meng Zhenlang stared at this fold, and slightly felt that there was something wrong in it, but it looked like the best of both worlds, and he really couldn't think of a reason.Although he is a son of the Meng family, he started in the military, not a scheming bureaucrat, only relying on the support of the army and the Meng family to reach today's high position.In the end, General Meng still nodded: If this law is implemented, the resistance of the major families may be reduced a lot.Li Jinyu listened to the conversation between the two of them on the side, and tried to suppress the ** who swallowed melon seeds in order to maintain his image, and when he heard General Meng's words, his eyes suddenly lit up: The general agreed?
When they analyzed General Meng's personality before, Li Jinyu recalled the content of the original work and gave a key characteristic: although General Meng was born in a family, he was different from ordinary family disciples and would put the interests of the court before the family.Most families are in high positions, and their sense of belonging to the family is greater than that of the imperial court; General Meng Da guarded the border for several years, and there was no difference between the family and the imperial court in the cold and bitter frontier, only war, death, and sacrifice.Huo Caiyu has investigated all the families that have dealings with the prime minister these days, and formulated this plan that is detrimental to the interests of the family, but it is very convenient for the imperial court to implement, and I believe that the general will definitely be impressed.The minister still needs to think about it.General Meng didn't agree, but turned his head to look at Li Jinyu, his eyes were faintly stern, and the minister was even more curious, His Majesty has been lazy for many years, why is he suddenly diligent now?
Li Jinyu couldn't bear General Meng's patriarchal gaze, and couldn't help but shrink a little.He somewhat understood why the original body was not close to the general, even if the general was more loyal than the prime minister.Compared with Prime Minister Ye Cheng, who blows rainbow farts as soon as they meet, this General Meng, who is dedicated to serving the country but going straight, is really not likable enough.But at this time, you can't hold Huo Caiyu back!
He wants to do his best to support Huo Caiyu!
Li Jinyu worked hard to cheer himself up, straightened his waist, and put forward the reason he had already thought of: I went to Qingshui County a while ago, realized the suffering of the people, and felt deeply guilty, and got talents like Huo Aiqing, so I wanted to work hard and reorganize the dynasty.He specifically mentioned Huo Caiyu, just to let General Meng pay attention to Huo Caiyu, the future emperor star.General Meng completely ignored Li Jinyu's hard work, didn't go to see Huo Caiyu, only looked Li Jinyu up and down for a moment, and then reluctantly nodded: Your Majesty has this heart, it is not useless.Li Jinyu: Look at the art of speaking, if this is changed to Prime Minister Ye Cheng, it will definitely be the luck of the Di Dynasty to worry about the country and the people first.General Meng is still a hardcore royalist in the end, although he did not agree on the spot, he is actually faintly moved.Huo Caiyu was very happy, but Li Jinyu was a little unhappy.Obviously, he should go to brush General Meng's evil feelings now, but it turned out to be a situation of joining forces with General Meng.This is completely different from the smoothness of brushing Huo Caiyu's hatred value!
Chapter 35 Squeak?
That night, Li Jinyu still arranged for Huo Caiyu to sleep in the outer hall.The second day is Mu Xiu, and according to the custom, he should go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye.I went to see the Queen Mother several times before, but the Queen Mother always closed the door on the grounds of studying Buddhism and praying for Her Majesty's blessings; Occasionally meet a few times, and the attitude is a little alienated and cold, which is not like a biological one.Li Jinyu was a little confused at first, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with getting used to it.Maybe the Queen Mother has been obsessed with Buddhism for too long and is so disappointed in him that she doesn't want to deal with him.Anyway, Li Jinyu himself doesn't believe in the reason of praying for His Majesty.He is quite satisfied with this relationship, and so far, the person who can let him accept close to him is just Huo Caiyu.What's more, he didn't inherit the memory of the original body, and he didn't know the details of the relationship between the queen mother and the original body.This relationship of distancing could not have been more appropriate for him.Today, the Queen Mother did not recite Buddha behind closed doors, and received Li Jinyu normally.Li Jinyu said hello as usual, and sat on the jujube wood chair covered with Qingfeng embroidery and bowed his head to taste tea.Just one bite made him secretly pout and put it down.This tea is so bitter and the fragrance is too strong.It is too far worse than Huo Caiyu brewed for him Li Jinyu was looking down and thinking about whether to ask Huo Caiyu for some tea to honor the Queen Mother, and he couldn't help but hear the Queen Mother ask: I heard that you are planning to take power from the Prime Minister recently?
Li Jinyu was startled, raised his head and subconsciously looked around, and found that the palace people who had just served had quietly retreated, leaving only an aunt who had seen him to serve beside the Queen Mother.As if to see his vigilance, the Queen Mother's somewhat wrinkled face pulled out a smile that was not very kind: Don't worry, the mourning family is full of trustworthy people.Li Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't figure out the position of the Queen Mother, and said cautiously: I just want to deal with more government affairs.The Queen Mother seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Li Jinyu's answer, but she still nodded: It's good if you can figure it out, it's not too late to fight back.Figured?
Li Jinyu felt that this word was a bit subtle, and asked tentatively: Does the Queen Mother support me?
You are now the emperor, what is there not to support the mourning family.The Queen Mother turned the sandalwood rosary in her hand and sighed slightly, you want to leave a name in history, and the mourning family can understand; It's just that throughout the ages, how many people can leave a strong mark on the history books?
How many emperors are unknown.Li Jinyu became more and more dizzy when he heard this, and echoed: I think so.Like him, a refined hamster, the ancient emperors he has heard of in modern society are only the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Sect, and Song Zu.If only you could figure it out.The Queen Mother seemed to be a little tired, put down the rosary, and supported her forehead slightly, Mourning is tired, you go back, both the Meng family and the Han family will support you, you just have to do it.Li Jinyu came out of Cining Palace in a daze, confused.What does the Queen Mother mean by this?
What was there that the original body couldn't think of before, so he kept giving up on himself?
On the way back to the palace, Li Jinyu has been pondering the content of the conversation between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.It sounds like the original body is a bit obsessed with leaving a name in history.But what does this have to do with self-abandonment?
I don't feel that I can't do the great deeds of those eloquent and strategic Ming Jun, and I can't be famous for a hundred years, so I just learn from the king of the Ming Dynasty for ten thousand years, right?
How can anyone so corrupt the foundation of their ancestors?
Li Jinyu returned to the dormitory full of doubts, thought about it, and called Huo Caiyu over.He told Huo Caiyu about the process of communicating with the Queen Mother, hoping that Huo Caiyu's wisdom would help him analyze and analyze.Huo Caiyu didn't expect His Majesty to even tell him about the communication between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and he was very surprised.Pressing the extra thoughts, Huo Caiyu thought seriously for a moment, and his face was happy: The queen mother's meaning should be General Meng's consent.General Meng?
The Han family is the queen mother's family, and the Meng family represented by General Meng is also related by marriage.Huo Caiyu briefly introduced the four or five marriages of the two families, and Li Jinyu was dizzy when he heard it.The Meng family is the maiden family of the Empress Dowager, and the Han family is the maiden family of the Empress Dowager.The heads of the two previous generations of the family have in-laws with each other, and there are countless side branches.The royal in-law relationship is really complicated, and now the Han family is the representative of the relatives of the Di Dynasty, although the influence in the court is not as good as that of the Meng family, but the influence in the royal family is not low.Huo Caiyu only felt cute when he saw His Majesty's dizzy appearance, and his voice couldn't help but soften a lot, and he thought about whether he could fight for the position of the Han family, but he didn't expect His Majesty to bring good news today.Li Jinyu: It was the Queen Mother who took the initiative to mention it.It wasn't for him to move.In any case, with the support of the Empress Dowager's relatives and General Meng, they could begin to reform the imperial examination.The new policy was launched, and it was met with strong resistance from the prime minister's faction.In the early dynasty, Prime Minister Ye Cheng still stood at the head of the civil officials without saying a word, and the doglegs behind him were full of tears and tears, denouncing the new policy, as if according to this policy, Da Di would die immediately.Huo Caiyu, the founder of the New Deal, was almost annihilated by the saliva of the Prime Minister.Li Jinyu habitually put the naming power of the new deal on Huo Caiyu, and wanted to continue to brush up on Huo Caiyu's political achievements, and he also knew that the backlash of the prime minister's faction was normal, but seeing Huo Caiyu alone and suffering the saliva of the officials who were eating the corpse, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed and angry.Huo Caiyu's reform of the imperial examination is similar to that in the original book, all in order to give poor students a fair path of promotion, so that the court can be constantly replaced like living water, so that it can go on steadily from generation to generation.And this group of dog officials who don't do anything serious and only know how to be corrupt and pervert the law, but they put on a look of worrying about the country and the people!
The more Li Jinyu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but pat the armrest of the dragon chair: Enough!
Why do these people accuse Huo Caiyu!
The noisy ministers below were silent.Huo Caiyu stood tall among the hundred officials, only raised his head when Li Jinyu spoke, and looked at the Son of Heaven on the high platform, shining slightly.Huo Caiyu's meaning is what I mean.Li Jinyu said without thinking, General, what do you think?
General Meng glanced at Huo Caiyu vaguely, and said without hesitation: "The minister thinks he can give it a try."
The officials of the Prime Minister's faction were shocked: Is the general clearly stating that he is standing over there?
Li Jinyu deliberately ignored the people sent by the prime minister, and turned his head to look at Jiang Guogong, who was standing at the court meeting as a representative of the country's relatives: This matter involves the politics of major families, what does Jiang Guogong think?
Jiang Guogong is the biological father of the current Queen Mother, the head of his relatives and the prince, and he has always been in the court to protect himself without saying a word.Now that he has been named by His Majesty, the old prince replied slowly: The old minister also agrees with the general.The words of the Duke of Jiang Guo almost represented the opinion of the uppermost princely family, and the officials sent by the prime minister suddenly felt that a basin of cold water was falling from the sky.What's going on?
The general and Jiang Guogong stood up at the same time to support Huo Caiyu, an inconspicuous pawn?
Shouldn't these families be united with them?
The people of the Prime Minister's faction either glared angrily or panicked, and finally focused all their eyes on the Prime Minister.
