Chapter 695

"Bang Chui, let someone go to the cashier to get the 1000 taels of silver bills, and go over to say hello to the soldiers and horses of the five cities." Liu Hongjian ordered.

Although even if he didn't go, the soldiers and horses would not dare to do anything to his father, but everything still had to be done according to the rules.

Although Liu Hongjian didn't think much of the Guozijian, it was an imperial institution after all, so he was slapping the imperial court, and slapping the imperial court was slapping Xiao Zhu, so he had to explain it to Xiao Zhu.

Alas, the timetravelers from other houses are all troubled by the old man to take the blame. Why did he come to him and become the one who wiped the ass instead? Liu Hongjian shook his head with a wry smile.

But thinking about it, it's not an exaggeration for Dad to vent his anger out of face. After all, those students were targeting him, not his dad.

These students are also in need of cleaning up, I hope the masters of the Guozijian can learn from it, otherwise Liu Hongjian doesn't mind tearing down the Guozijian.

There is also the safety issue of the Jingcheng County Prince's Mansion. Although it has been almost turned into a nursing home by the old man, it is good for the old man to live happily. Twenty or thirty family members are not enough for such a big mansion.

"Tell Lord Liang to send a hundred households of Jinyiwei to guard the county palace. If you see any suspicious people, wait until you take it!" Liu Hongjian said to the incoming Jinyiwei hundred households.

It is said that those who read sage books are all gentlemen, but Liu Hongjian doesn't believe it. These guys can even clean up shit, who knows where their bottom line is.

It is okay to have the intention to harm others, but it is also necessary to have the intention to guard against others.

After dealing with the matter of the old man, he thought he hadn't entered the palace for several days, so Liu Hongjian went to the palace again with his men and horses prepared.

These days, nearly half of the officials have been imprisoned for resisting the reform of the imperial examination system. People in the court have always been panicked. Fortunately, the high-pressure policy has indeed had effects. For example, the surviving officials no longer dare to neglect their duties.

Whether fame is important or profit is important, this is a question. For the sake of fame, people are sent to prison, and they can only eat in prison every day, and their family members are not allowed to visit.

There were rumors that in the big prisons of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, no dogs would eat the prison food, and there were also rumors that Shi Bangzhao, the Zuodu censor of the Inspectorate who entered first, lost his shape in a month.

The rest of these officials were stigmatized as weak bones, and were scolded by the gentry from all over the country as ungrateful for profit. As for whether these officials were afraid of going to prison, or really realized the problems of the imperial examination, Liu Hongjian didn't know.

But Liu Hongjian was aware of a problem, a very serious problem, which ran through the entire Ming Dynasty, and even the entire 2000 years since he respected Confucianism.

"Your Majesty, I have a very important proposal." Liu Hongjian thought about it all the way, and said when he saw Zhu Cihong.

"Brother Liu, do you have any suggestions? Let's talk about it after the meal is finished. Come and try Qiaozhen's boiled meat." Zhu Cihong happily asked Liu Hongjian when he saw Liu Hongjian coming.

It happened to be noon, and Zhu Cihong had just finished processing the mountains of memorials from all over the place, and Liu Hongjian came at the right time. Because he got up too late, he didn't even have breakfast.

It was all from his own family and he was not polite, so he found something to sit down, and Pang Pang Hai hurriedly ordered someone to add another pair of chopsticks.

"Hmm - the imperial concubine is a good cook!" Liu Hongjian praised after taking a sip.

The previous warnings have always worked. Concubine Qin has lost her desire to fight for the reserve, but there is one thing women in the world can learn by themselves. If you want to control a man's heart, you must first control his stomach. Qin Shi has no intention of getting the true biography.

It's just that he still doesn't like this utilitarian woman very much, maybe she really gave in, or maybe she's just dormant for a while, who can say for sure.

"Brother Liu, if you like to eat, you can come to the palace a few more times. I am really annoyed by the reform of the imperial examination system these days." Zhu Cihong complained.

Although officials from all over the country who were passive and sabotage were arrested, the remaining officials still sent a memorial to the palace every day, and there were only two people in the cabinet, Han Yu and Zhang Tianlu, who were too busy at all.

Oh, both Liu Hongjian and Li Banghua can only be counted as half.

The former is because of laziness, while the latter is because of being unable to go out.

Li Banghua has had a hard time recently. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he chose to remain silent on the reform of the imperial examination system. How could all the forces in the capital let him go? Before the mansion of the county king was poured with dung, Li Banghua's mansion had already been splashed three times.

As a result, he had to send soldiers and horses to guard at [-] o'clock. Even so, there was still an endless stream of scholars who came to curse at the gate of the mansion.

What's more, even the vendors who sell vegetables wear tinted glasses. People who have seen Li's mansion come to sell vegetables, and the prices will be much higher than ordinary people.

"Hehe, it's not easy to be a king. What's more, the emperor still wants to be a wise king. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be a wise king. Now it's just the beginning. The emperor should be mentally prepared." Liu Hongjian comforted.

The emperor's job is not easy, he has known it for a long time, but he has just finished working, and he has to work more than ten hours a day, how can he be comfortable, work depends entirely on his mood.

In his words, as long as he knows how to use (throw away) people (pans), use the right people, and he will do everything by himself wherever it is needed.

Maritime affairs are in charge of the Qi family brothers, the treasure shipyard is in charge of the Mo family, the martial arts hall is in charge of Gu Jia, the engineering college is in charge of Xu Ji, the ordnance department is in charge of Song Yingxing, and the Xishan business cooperation is in charge of the British public. .

What he has to be responsible for is just the problem and the direction, whether to use people or not, as long as the direction is not deviated, everything is up to these people.

"I understand, I just want to tell you that there are not many people in this palace, but there is no one who can really talk." Zhu Cihong sighed.

Isn't it true that people like Zhu Cihong who were influenced by the thoughts of Liu Hongjian's later generations, except Liu Hongjian, how can there be anyone in this palace whose thoughts are at the same level?
"Now that half of the cabinet officials are imprisoned, there are only three love ministers, Li, Han, and Zhang, left in the cabinet, and the ministers are even more frequent. Does brother Liu have any suitable candidates to recommend?" Zhu Cihong asked again.

In fact, it's not just the cabinet and the six ministries. There are at least five or six hundred officials imprisoned in the Dongchang Black Prison and Jinyiwei Prison. How to make up for these gaps is a headache for Zhu Cihong.

"I've been away from the court for a long time, how can I know that this matter should be decided by the emperor himself." Liu Hongjian said.

Although his status is detached, Liu Hongjian has always been very sensitive to certain things, such as the matter of recommendation.

He knew that as long as he opened his mouth, Xiao Zhu would usually agree, but that was not how things were done. If Liu Hongjian recommended all the important officials in the court, it would be death.

He also wanted to be so carefree that he couldn't walk, and he wanted to see his children and grandchildren in the house. The reason why he skipped work and didn't enter the court was because of this, and it was also because of this that he didn't easily interfere in the government affairs.

"However, the minister can give some advice when employing people. Do you remember what the minister said to the emperor back then? Use a follower..."

"Use a follower, not a clearer!" Before Liu Hongjian could finish speaking, Zhu Cihong hurriedly replied.

"That's right, you have to be eclectic in employing people. It's okay to have some small flaws, as long as you are willing to do things, know how to do things, and be able to do things, that's enough." Liu Hongjian added.

"Brother Liu's words, I have written them down. Oh, by the way, just now when Brother Liu came in, he said he had an important proposal. I don't know what it was?" Zhu Cihong responded modestly, then put down his chopsticks and asked.

"I want to talk to the emperor about the orientation of public opinion."

 Thanks to the book friend Mu Kongzhiyu and the 1000 taels from Beijing, and the 100 taels from the book friends who lit up the lamp and looked at the ax while drunk.
