Dahan first prince

Chapter 343 Six Hundred Stone False Festival——Three-cylinder Porsche
"Shanglin Court..."

"make?"

It is day and night, Qili, Yangfu, in the north of Chang'an City.

Hearing Yang Li's report, Yang Chengyan's face suddenly showed a hint of doubt.

"I also ask Yang Jianling to make it clear."

"——What is the position and rank of the 'Shanglin Order' that His Majesty mentioned, and what are the rights and responsibilities?"

Asking these questions with a slightly serious expression, there was no trace of indifference on Yang Chengyan's face.

——Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the court of the Han family has had an inexplicable consensus: any new department that has no precedent and is directly established by the monarch will most likely be a hot potato with low power and easy to blame!

the reason is simple.

Discussion system: All appointments of officials at the level of two thousand shi and above, whether they are hundreds of officials or courtiers, or local sheriffs, need to be decided by the court.

Even if there is a vacancy for an official position of more than two thousand shi, and the emperor himself already has a candidate of his choice, he must not issue an appointment edict with a slap on the thigh, but put the matter on the court, and take a "people's recommendation" cutscene.

It’s like a vacancy in a certain county in the Kanto region. Even if the emperor has already selected a person and even drafted an appointment edict, he must first express in the court council that the sheriff of a certain county is vacant. There is no suitable candidate?

With the emperor's instruction, the courtiers and officials will find out and tentatively propose their own candidates.

If the Son of Heaven did not determine the candidate earlier, there is a high probability that among these candidates, he will choose the most acceptable one and appoint him as the new sheriff;
If the emperor has long been selected, he will implicitly reject the candidates proposed by the courtiers one by one.

For example, "Zhang San is very capable, the court needs him"~
"Li Si is still young, he has to accumulate for a few more years" ~
'Wang Wu is very reliable, but not suitable' and so on.

When the candidates are rejected one by one, the courtiers and officials will react: In your Majesty's heart, I am afraid that someone has already been selected.

After realizing this point, all the officials will stand up together and pay respects to the emperor: I am so stupid, I really can't think of a better candidate, please give your majesty some pointers.

At this time, the emperor will "reluctantly" say: Zhao Liu~ I think it's okay, what do you think?
Knowing the emperor's intentions, the courtiers and all the officials were "suddenly realized", and they bowed again: Your majesty is really astute, and there is indeed no more suitable candidate than Zhao Liu.

With such a set of procedures, the candidate for the new sheriff can be regarded as having been seriously discussed by the court and finally confirmed.

The appointment and removal of personnel in the old department is still like this, but the establishment of the new department is obviously more complicated.

Don't forget: the ruling school of the Han Dynasty now advocates the Huang-Lao theory of "governing by doing nothing"!
Although Huang-Lao Xue's true ruling thought should be "do nothing but do everything", in today's Han Dynasty, Huang-Lao School has long since evolved into a laziness of "I would rather do nothing than make mistakes" school.

However, in front of such a conservative and stubborn ruling school that prays 'nothing will change' all day long, any new thing will face enormous resistance.

Therefore, in order to bypass the unspoken political rules that "major personnel appointments and establishment of important departments need to be approved by the court", and the ruling school that desires that the world will never change: Huang Laoxue, the first emperor Liu Bang often exploited a loophole.

——Appoint a so-and-so captain at the level of [-] shi at will, and then use the Emperor's Day to strengthen his prestige.

With the level of [-] shi, plus the 'Captain' who is linked to the military, the emperor can bypass the court and make a decision with one word;

And the fake Tianzi Festival can allow this small official at the level of [-] shi to have powers that most officials at the level of [-] shi cannot reasonably have.

For the emperor, it is obviously the most cost-effective choice to solve some temporary problems through such an appointment;

But for the appointee, such a humble and powerful official position is an extremely hot potato...
The reason is very simple: the Six Hundred Stones holiday, to put it mildly, is "Imperial Envoy" and "If I come in person";
But to put it bluntly, it is that Germany does not match...

Facing the angel of the fake Tianzi Festival, no one would dare to sing against it easily; but for an angel of the [-]-stone level, most people would probably not be convinced.

Especially for those meritorious princes who have thousands or even tens of thousands of households, who are qualified to be appointed as prime ministers, royal officials, etc. at any time, but have no official position, a small official at the level of six hundred shi , It is not even a fly.

——If you fake Tianzi's Day, I really dare not touch you;

But holidays and festivals are "borrowed" after all, not "given";
One day, the scepter temporarily lent by the emperor will be taken back to the palace.

When the Tianzi Festival is gone in the future, you are six hundred shi, and I am afraid that you will not succeed?

The reason why this official is [-] shi must be because [-] shi is probably the peak that this official can reach at present; if it is higher, it will cause dissatisfaction in the court due to 'insufficient qualifications'.

And the fake Tianzi Festival means that this official can't handle the next task at all based on his own personal prestige alone, so he must have the Tianzi's scepter to guard the field.

So what kind of task does it need the emperor's scepter to suppress the field?
In other words, what makes potential obstacles require the emperor's scepter to deter?

The answer is that there are tens of thousands of households in those food towns, and the hard-nosed Jiuqing are not at all cowardly, and the three princes will give a little bit of credit to the nobles and relatives.

In this way, the problem is obvious.

——Even the Son of Heaven is worried about this six-hundred-stone official, and even takes the initiative to show off his majesty, so what can this official do when he faces these nobles alone?
To give a very simple example: a food supervisor with a holiday of [-] shi had just sent away a dandy relative who was digging the wall, and then a Chehou from [-] households came up, saying inside and out, "borrow some food." , tomorrow also', what should I do?
If you are more courageous, you may sternly refuse, and then you will be resented by this nobleman, and you will be insulated from the word "future" since then;
If you are timid, if you are frightened openly or secretly by this Chehou, or even the dog legs sent by Chehou, you will probably shake your position.

The most uncomfortable thing is: such a thing, no matter how you do it, is wrong, and no matter how you do it, you will definitely offend people.

Even, "only offending one of them" between the emperor and the nobles can be regarded as a pretty good ending, which is enough to prove that this official is "sophisticated";
In most cases, the ending will be that both parties are offended, and the inside and outside are not human.

But right now, Yang Chengyan heard Yang Li say in person: Your Majesty wants me to be Shanglin Yuanling;
As the Nine Ministers of the current dynasty, Yang Chengyan is very sure that recently, there has been no rumor of 'talking about the candidate for Shanglinyuan' in the court.

——Even Shanglin Garden has only reached the stage of "surveying and mapping" and has not started construction at all!

Therefore, Yang Chengyan was very worried: Yang Li's "Shanglin Yuan Ling" would also be a hot potato with a rank of less than a thousand stones and a false emperor's day.

Regarding Yang Chengyan's worries, Yang Li knew it clearly.

But in the end, Yang Li smiled wryly and shook his head, saying the words Yang Chengyan didn't want to hear the most.

"Your Majesty said: The order of Shanglin Yuan is ranked higher than Qianshi, and the rank is higher than that of Jiuqingcheng; on holidays, you can do things cheaply..."

"Ah~"

Before Yang Li finished speaking, Yang Chengyan closed his eyes in despair, and Yang Tian let out a long sigh.

"It's hard..."

"Disaster·········"

Full of melancholy, Yang Chengyan sighed a few times, finally pursed his lips, and lowered his head with a stern expression.

"Better than Qianshi, fake festival..."

"Ugh······"

"If you are a little careless, you will be lost..."

Seeing Yang Chengyan let out a long sigh with a desolate expression, Yang Li just lowered his head with a wry smile, and added softly: "As far as power and responsibility are concerned, they are also very involved."

"Your Majesty's intention: to open ten thousand hectares of official land in Shanglinyuan for the landless farmers to plant, and rent for thirteen;"

"The inconveniences of the Shaofu are known to outsiders, that is, the military industry, iron smelting, coin casting and other departments should all be moved to Shanglin to avoid the world and work secretly."

"In the past, because of the death of the king, the orphans of heroes and heroes who were taken in by His Majesty were also taken care of in Shanglin; in addition, a fief of the crown prince was set up in Shanglin Garden to marry the heroes of the world..."

Following Yang Li's whispering in person, the expression on Yang Chengyan's face only became more gloomy.

Until the last sentence, the stern look on Yang Chengyan's face finally became substantive.

"Prince Prince..."

"Prince Prince..."

Looking at Yang Li with complicated eyes, he sighed for a moment, Yang Chengyan finally shook his head and tried to cheer himself up.

"The Shaofu moved to the various divisions in Shanglin, and the newly opened official land, and the orphans of the heroes, I can help the king;"

"With my relatives here, there should be no mistakes."

Said these words with a serious expression, although Yang Chengyan's brows were still furrowed, but in the tone of his voice, he couldn't help but carry an unquestionable confidence.

If we only look at the current situation, Yang Chengyan, a Jiuqing without a lord, may be a little bit reluctant to cover Yang Li, the Shanglin Yuanling;
But there was one thing that neither Yang Li nor anyone else except Yang Chengyan and Liu Ying knew about.

——Yang Chengyan is about to be named a Marquis...
Even Chehou's fiefdom, the number of food towns, and Yangchengyan have already received hints from Liu Ying.

Pengcheng County, Wu County, Yiqianhu.

Although there are only a thousand households in Shiyi, it is not enough for those top Chehous with thousands of households, even not much worse than some Guanneihous, but no matter what, it is a real Chehou.

Even if it's just a Chehou with a thousand households, Yang Chengyan can at least be a little tougher when facing those top Chehous with tens of thousands of households;
It’s not like in the past, when someone mentions ‘the morality of the Shaofu is not worthy’, Yang Chengyan can only jump out in a hurry, saying that ‘the minister is crowned with a monkey, he has no merit in the country, please leave the bones to pay old age’... ···

But then again, in terms of other things, Yang Chengyan, who has been named a marquis, may be able to cover Yang Li a little bit; but in terms of the crown prince...
"Did your majesty ever say when would you like to establish a crown prince?"

The seemingly casual question made the atmosphere in the room change suddenly, and the expressions on both of their faces tightened!
After a long while, Yang Li looked at Yang Chengyan with dodge eyes, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Yang, be careful with your words..."

"Be cautious..."

Following Yang Li's tone of reminding Yang Chengyan and himself, Yang Chengyan calmed down a little, and smiled stiffly.

It can't be blamed that Yang Chengyan and Yang Li are too careful.

In fact, any topic about the crown prince, in any era, when the crown prince has not been established, is a sensitive topic in an absolute sense.

Especially now, the eldest son of the emperor has been born, but his mother has died; the emperor Liu Ying is about to get married, but the empress is not yet ten years old...
"According to the theory of the court, this matter should not be within three or five years old."

"You don't have to be in a hurry."

I don't know how long it took before Yang Chengyan casually skipped the topic and brought it back again.

Taking a deep breath and looking at Yang Li deeply, Yang Cheng Yanzhong reluctantly accepted this reality.

It was also at this time that Yang Chengyan finally realized: What kind of deep meaning does Liu Ying's appointment imply...

"Your Majesty Yujun, I have high expectations..."

"If you can take up the post of Shanglin Ling, and there is no error at the age of five, your majesty will definitely use it in the future!"

Hearing Yang Chengyan's words, Yang Li smiled casually, neither thanked nor denied.

Mohist scholars are not ministers, senior officials, and imperial edicts, which almost means that Yang Li is bound to have nothing to do with the word 'reuse'.

It's just that this matter can be regarded as an agreement between Yang Li and Liu Ying, and it can also be regarded as an internal matter of the Mo family.

Regarding the benefactor Yang Chengyan, Yang Li still couldn't bear to tell the truth and break Yang Chengyan's expectations of him.

On the contrary, Yang Chengyan, after a short period of thinking, began to plan the future path for Yang Chengyan based on his own experience.

"Your Majesty said: within the age of ten, Mohists are not allowed to call themselves 'Mohists', but to show themselves to others as 'Luban craftsmen'. It is inappropriate to set up an 'Mo Garden' in Shanglin."

"After His Majesty's coronation ceremony, you should choose the opportunity to speak and temporarily change the ink garden to Luban garden; wait for the opportunity to move when the time is right."

Hearing Yang Chengyan's words, Yang Li hurriedly straightened up, and nodded gratefully to show that he understood.

"Also, His Majesty wants to make the ministers of the Shaofu move to Shanglin. It's better sooner than later."

"After the Fengqu business is over, I will ask His Majesty for permission to move the various departments of the Shaofu to Shanglin first, and then plan to build the enclosure of Shanglin."

Yang Chengyan said another word, and Yang Li also nodded.

Mentioning all aspects that he could think of, Yang Chengyan pondered for a long time, making sure that there was nothing missing, finally raised his head, looked at Yang Li's slightly bitter face, and let out a long sigh full of embarrassment.

"In order to revive the Mohism, sir, I have worked hard..."

"In the future, but if there is room available, Yujun should also help me with all my strength!"

Hearing Yang Chengyan's swearing promise, Yang Li still didn't say thanks, but stood up and bowed solemnly to Yang Chengyan.

This obeisance is Xie Yangchengyan's care for the Mo family, and Xie Yangchengyan's care for Yang Li in the past.

For this kindness, Yang Li could not repay ten percent of it in his whole life.

The only thing Yang Li can do now is to try his best to keep Yang Chengyan from getting involved in the muddy water of the 'Mohist'.

Because judging from the current situation, even Yang Li dare not be too sure: whether the future Mohism will really have a comeback...

　It's a little trivial, I've been delayed for two days
