Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 564 Belongs to the Gaoming Early Dynasty
Facing the powerful Gao Ming, although the officials were unwilling, they also knew that there would be no result if they continued to entangle, so they could only swallow it in humiliation.

And Gao Ming didn't intend to go into it, because in his opinion, although Yanguan looked quite annoying, they were also an indispensable member of the Great Tang Dynasty.

Just like the scene that happened just now, although the purpose of these officials was to grab Gao Ming's sore feet, and then show off their presence, objectively speaking, they also gave the civil and military officials some shock to a certain extent.

This group of guys who can "hear the wind and make things happen" don't need any evidence. As long as they hear the rumors, they can be used to impeach the court officials. As for whether it is true or false, it is the emperor's business.

Although this seems very irresponsible, the role of the official censor is such a function. Even if the emperor made a mistake, they dared to come up and be angry, let alone other officials!
Datang has no precedent of being convicted for speech, and Li Shimin also showed great tolerance for speech officials, so Gao Ming does not intend to break this precedent.

The wise way is that you throw me a peach, and I will return you two dates. As long as the officials don't go too far, he will generally be forgiving and forgiving.

Just like the four officials who scolded him for being cruel and heartless outside the city before, Gao Ming just let them plow the fields and do farm work to reform them, and he didn't kill them all, let alone put them in shoes in the future.

Compared with the previous four people, these officials in the court just want to show their presence, and they don't have much malice, so it is enough to embarrass them, and there is no need to punish them, so Gao Ming Only then will they let them go back lightly.

As for the speaker who Gao Ming was going to let him go back to his hometown when he fainted, I can only say that he was unlucky. Who made him jump out when Gao Ming was about to make an example of others?
After the officials retreated, under Gao Ming's signal, the morning court continued.

Under Gao Ming's signal, Lu Zhi from the Ministry of Household Affairs first came out to report the taxation and grain storage situation for this month, and then officials from the Ministry of Industry also stood up and explained the progress of the recent repairs of several buildings inside and outside the palace and the consumption of money and food.

After the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry finished speaking, the officials of the Ministry of Officials also came out and told about the recent transfer of officials, including which officials were transferred, which officials left their posts, which officials were dismissed, etc., and finally submitted the written memorial to Gao Ming .

After receiving the notebook from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Gao Ming immediately opened it to take a look, but he only took one look, then closed the notebook with a twitching face.

"Damn, why is this kind of classical Chinese without punctuation marks again? It's terrible!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly sighed, threw the booklet on the dragon couch, and stood up.

"Last year, I wrote two articles, "Humble Room Inscription" and "Ai Lian Shuo". Is there anyone here who hasn't read it? Raise your hand and let me have a look."

Having said that, Gao Ming immediately looked around for a week, and found that no one raised his hand, so he nodded immediately.

"Well, since no one raised their hands, everyone should have read it. In fact, I didn't say this to show how talented I am. What I want to say is that I used some punctuation marks in my two articles. These Punctuation marks, if anyone doesn’t know, raise your hand and let me see.”

Speaking of this, Gao Ming scanned for a week again and found that several people had raised their hands. Seeing this scene, he immediately nodded again.

"Well, there are only a few people who don't know. Seeing that most people know punctuation marks, then I would like to ask, what do you think about this punctuation mark? Uncle Guo, please tell me first!"

Hearing that Gao Ming called his name, Changsun Wuji quickly stood up, and bowed to Gao Ming.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the old minister thinks that this punctuation mark can be used to separate and break sentences, which is very convenient, and as far as the old minister knows, many scholars are already using this punctuation mark when writing articles!"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"Uncle Guo is right. This punctuation mark is very convenient. With it, you can avoid making mistakes due to sentence punctuation when reading articles. Therefore, I hope that all the notebooks you submit in the future will have punctuation marks. If you use punctuation marks, find someone else to learn!"

Having said that, Gao Ming turned around and picked up the booklet from the dragon couch, then went to the official minister and handed the booklet back to him.

"You take this book back, mark it with punctuation marks and present it!"

"Yes!"

Faced with Gao Ming's unquestionable tone, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials did not dare to say more, and immediately took the notes and retreated.

At this time, Gao Ming turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji again, and smiled at him.

"Yesterday, Uncle Guo and I discussed a problem, which is how to handle government affairs more accurately and efficiently. After discussion, we felt that we should screen the submitted papers, and select the ones that must be processed immediately, those that can be delayed, and those that can be processed. It will be reported after processing."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, many officials present nodded, obviously they all thought this statement was very reasonable.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Gao Ming smiled again.

"In order to achieve this goal, I think it is very necessary to select a few civil servants with both talents and virtues to do this job. Can my uncle recommend anyone?"

"Uh……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Changsun Wuji was stunned.

He remembered that Gao Ming told him about this matter yesterday, but at that time Gao Ming had already selected all the candidates, why did he ask him now if he had any candidates to recommend?

But very soon, Changsun Wuji realized that he immediately understood that Gao Ming's intention was not to really ask him to recommend a candidate, but to give him the recommended favor.

You must know that the favor of recommendation in the officialdom is a great favor, as long as he speaks out the names of these people, and if these people agree, then it is equivalent to owe him a favor.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji immediately cast a grateful glance at Gao Ming, and then bowed to him.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the veteran ministers have already been selected. They are Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu, Gao Shilian, and Wang Gui. Your Highness is willing to agree!"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, the four people whose names he had read all widened their eyes.

How is this going?

But before they could react, Gao Ming's laughter sounded again.

"Hahahaha, the candidates recommended by Uncle Guo are really extraordinary. These four are indeed indispensable ministers in my Tang Dynasty, but I don't know if they are willing to take on this important task."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, a person immediately stood up and bowed to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness has an order, and the old minister is willing to do his best!"
