The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2366 24 ministers
So far, the list of the 24 heroes of Shanhe Pavilion has been initially selected.

12 Wu Xun members: Yue Peng, Liu Hongyi, Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Jue, Huang Hua, Shi Kaiji, Wen Tianxiang, Su Quandang, Su Liuyi, Ling Chengzhi, Lu Yuwen, Wen Qi.

12 civil servants: Palace Master Guigu, Wang Yun, Zhang Shijie, Chen Wenlong, Zhao Yuluo, Wang Wenfu, Lu Xiufu, Xiang Dongyang, Liu Fu, Zi Gaoyi, Zhong Jian, Li Zhaoen.

Zhao Dongting ranked these people according to their merits and qualifications, and then fell asleep with Le Chan in his arms.

The next day.

When he arrived at the imperial study, he asked Chen Wudao to announce the ministers of the central cabinet to the imperial study.

This included almost all the officials of the second rank and above in the current dynasty.

After they saluted, Zhao Dongting handed Zhong Jian the list of meritorious officials he had prepared for Shanhe Pavilion, and said with a light smile, "Since the Great Song Dynasty, the country has been stable and the country is prosperous. Last night, I suddenly thought of the past, and I deeply feel that today's The Great Song Dynasty did not come easily. All of you here have worked hard and made great achievements. Therefore, I intend to follow the example of the previous dynasty, set up the Shanhe Pavilion, appoint the first 24 heroes, and first publish a book and biography for them. This is the list I made last night. All dear friends And look."

Zhong Jian took the paper with both hands, was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and opened it immediately.

Zhao Dongting went on to say: "In addition, I also plan to set up a list of famous generals and capable ministers in the name of the imperial court. Each chooses a hundred people to set an example for our officials in the Song Dynasty. The people listed in the Shanhe Pavilion are not included in the list. That's it. The list of candidates will be decided by your Central Cabinet and the Mirror Station, and then handed over to me for review."

While speaking, Zhong Jian had already read the list.

She frowned slightly, but didn't speak, but handed it to Zhao Yuluo next to her.

After watching it, Zhao and Luo also had the same expression.

Then handed them off one by one.

By the time everyone finished watching, half an hour had passed.

All the central cabinet ministers looked at Zhao Dongting with different expressions.

Among them, only Wen Tianxiang, who is still in charge of the military aircraft order, is among the martial arts.

Among the civil servants, only Zhong Jian, Li Zhao'en, Wang Wenfu, Zi Gaoyi, Zhao Yuluo and five people were here.The rest, either passed away or retired.

In fact, even Wang Wenfu has already passed the age of retirement, but Zhao Dongting still wants him to preside over the punishment department for a while.

When Zhu Hecong has sharpened enough, he will probably take over his position.

"Tell me what you think."

Zhao Dongting was not surprised by everyone's performance and reaction, and said with a light smile.

All the ministers look at me and I look at you, but no one speaks.

Immediately afterwards, Zi Gaoyi, who was the minister of the Ministry of Water Resources at that time, stood up and said salutingly: "Your Majesty, I am afraid. I only serve the court when I have passed my thirties. In terms of seniority and merit, I dare not compare myself with the senior officials in the court." Compared with the colleagues present here, it is also far away. Since serving the imperial court, he has not made much contribution to the country. Although he considers himself to be conscientious, he is not outstanding among his colleagues. He is more talented than his ministers. , there are many people who are more diligent and diligent, and I ask the emperor to take it back."

Li Zhao'en also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao'en also asks His Majesty to withdraw his order."

Even Zhong Jian moved his butt, trying to get up.

They are all of the younger generation, and they really dare not take credit in front of those older generations.

But before Zhong Jian got up, Zhao Dongting waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, listen to my thoughts first."

He looked at Zi Gaoyi, "Zi Aiqing, although you are not an old minister of the Song Dynasty, it was a great righteousness to abandon the dark and turn to the bright. Among the old officials of the Yuan Dynasty, you are also a model. My intention of establishing the Shanhe Pavilion is not all about who works hard. , but want to set an example for the society and the officials. So far, the old land of the Yuan Dynasty has been owned by the Song Dynasty for many years, and the vast land is all the people of the Song Dynasty. The past is the past."

He glanced at the other Yuanjiu officials again, "At the beginning, each was his master, so you don't have to take it to heart for a long time."

"Since the unification of the Great Song Dynasty, I have seen your dedication to the Great Song Dynasty. I have never thought about it, because you have been in the past, I have always rejected and alienated you. The change of imperial power and the change of dynasty are not caused by manpower. A good official is one who loves the people like a son. Zi Aiqing fought fiercely on the embankment for eight days and nights to fight floods and rescue disasters. How can she not be a role model for all officials? If the officials recorded in Shanhe Pavilion are all based on merit and hard work , qualifications, then what is the need to set up?"

"This……"

All the cabinet ministers of the central government showed thoughtful expressions.

Zhao Dongting continued: "Shanhe Pavilion doesn't talk about other things, it only talks about serving the country and the people."

"emperor."

Zhong Jian stood up at this time, and said: "I understand the emperor's intention, that's all. I think it is inappropriate to say that I am a 24 hero."

Zhao Dongting's heart moved slightly.

Zhong Jian said again: "It is not based on merit and seniority, but I think it is appropriate to use 24 ministers, or 24 ministers."

Zhao Dongting nodded without hesitation, "What Zhong Aiqing said is true."

He ignored this little mistake before.

Just say that 24 ministers are the best, so those who are not selected will not have too many thoughts in their hearts.

After all, the word "gong" is still a bit too sensitive.It is inevitable that some people will compare secretly.

Take those people who have done more than Zi Gaoyi or who are similar to Zi Gaoyi, Zi Gaoyi is in, but they are not, can you be convinced?
