Chapter 18
For the way of the king, the emperor's mind is the most important thing.

What is the emperor's mind is nothing more than checks and balances.

In the court, there cannot be any faction that dominates.

For so many years, Emperor Tianfu has been intrigue with the officials of the major families and factions every day, trying his best to achieve a balance.

Once the balance is broken, the situation in the court will be unstable, and even a change of dynasty is not far away.

Looking at the officials in the audience, in order to fight for power and profit, and once again fell into his scheme, Emperor Tianfu's mood was extremely complicated.

There is no joy, only anger and helplessness.

Angry at these officials, they put their family first and then the country, and lost the heart of being an official and the people.Only after satisfying his own interests, will he help him govern the country.

Helplessly, the imperial court selects talents from the imperial examination.However, nine out of ten scholars come from aristocratic families, and ninety-nine percent of those who passed the exam are descendants of aristocratic families.

As a result, the aristocratic family continued to grow, resulting in the current situation of dominating the government.

As an emperor, even if he knows the hidden dangers of the family, he must rely on them to govern the country.

Faced with this situation, Emperor Tianfu was very helpless.

His eyes swept over the officials one by one, and finally landed on Li Qing.

"Where is Li Qing!"

All the ministers immediately focused their eyes on Li Qing.

With a thud in his heart, he knew that Emperor Tianfu was going to start with Li Qing, and he was using the poor family.

This new champion will enter Yushitai.

Hearing this, Li Qing took a step forward under the watchful eyes of the officials.

"The students are here."

Emperor Tianfu's eyes were like lightning, with piercing eyes.

"The old mansion of King Yiyang will be transformed into the Yushitai from now on. I will appoint you as the Yushi servant, and you will go to the post immediately, and start to select the servant and supervisor of the censor in the palace.

Shinke Jinshi, as long as you value it, you can choose to go, and you don't need to report to me. "

"Yes!" Li Qing's expression remained unchanged, calm and composed.Yesterday, Emperor Tianfu did not grant him the imperial academy to edit, so he thought of this arrangement.

Emperor Tianfu's words were like thunder on the ground.

The faces of all the officials changed drastically.

Yushitai, except for the chief official Yushi doctor and the deputy Yushi Zhongcheng, is the most powerful servant of Yushi.

Although Shi Yushi is only an official of the sixth grade, he has the right to hear about things and can impeach officials at the court at any time.

It was also compiled from the six-rank Hanlin Academy, which is completely incomparable.

What is even more important to all officials is that Emperor Tianfu allowed Li Qing to select talents from the new subjects to enter Yushitai by himself.

Suddenly, countless thoughts flashed through everyone's minds.

The status of Doctor Yushi is comparable to that of the Sangong and the prime minister, and it is extremely difficult to win.

There are two places for Yushi Zhongcheng, and all the major factions in the court want to squeeze in.One can imagine how difficult it is.

Here, only the censors in the palace, the censors in the palace, and the supervisory censors have room to operate.

The officials present more or less had their own high school Jinshi students.

Now they are racking their brains to think about how to send their students to Yushitai.

But now Emperor Tianfu has handed over the selection right to Li Qing directly!

The way Baiguan looked at Li Qing obviously changed.

As soon as they entered the court, they had already had an impact.

If things go on like this, it is unimaginable.

But at this juncture, they couldn't object to Emperor Tianfu's imperial appointment of Li Qing as a censor.

Whoever dares to object will definitely annoy Emperor Tianfu, and will not be able to enter Yushitai, which will make other faction officials cheaper in vain.

"Doctor Yushi, there is a temporary vacancy. Do you have any recommendations for Yushi Zhongcheng?" Emperor Tianfu asked.

Doctor Yushi, Emperor Tianfu has no suitable candidate in mind.

This position can only be handed over to someone he completely trusts, and it is impossible to grant it easily.

And Yushi Zhongcheng was the fuse that he threw out to intensify and detonate the conflicts and conflicts among the officials of the major factions.

This kind of feeling of staying out of the matter and watching all the officials bite dogs, but being the biggest beneficiary himself, made Emperor Tianfu enjoy it a lot.

Sunset Moonrise.

The important officials of the court elected their own people to serve as Yushi Zhongcheng.

There are many disputes, which cannot last for a long time.

Until the sky completely darkened, there was still no result.

Emperor Tianfu yawned, waved his hands, and said: "Okay, Yushi Zhongcheng has a very heavy responsibility, and you can't argue with each other for a day or two. Let's come here for today's court meeting."

All the officials in the audience stopped after hearing the words.

It is true that which faction official will serve as Yushi Zhongcheng cannot be decided in a day or two.

This involves many intrigues, many exchange of interests, and whether or not the Emperor Tianfu can agree, which is extremely complicated.

"By the way, there is one more thing I almost forgot."

The figure of Emperor Tianfu who was getting up to leave the court suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Li Qing in the crowd:

"Li Aiqing proposed to push the order of kindness, and felt that the corrupt officials caused the people to complain, so I offered the strategy of Dongchang and Yushitai. I will give you a mansion, ten thousand taels of silver. I will also give you a gold order, so you can enter and leave the palace freely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Qing bowed his thanks.

Yushitai was clearly made by Emperor Tianfu himself, but now he said that it was Li Qing's credit.

Li Qing is also very clear about the reason.

It was nothing more than worrying that he would be wooed by the aristocratic family.

Dongchang and Yushitai are sharp swords in the hands of the emperor, which will greatly contain and deter the power of the aristocratic family.

And the person who puts forward this idea will definitely be hostile by all the aristocratic families.

But Li Qing didn't care.

His way of being an official is based on virtue, meritorious deeds and words.

He will not collude with any officials, nor will he stand on the side of the imperial power. Everything he does will only be for the common people.

Surrounded by eunuchs and court ladies, Emperor Tianfu left Chengtian Hall.From an angle that the officials couldn't see, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.

Although he decided to reuse the poor family and Li Qing.

But not completely trusting at all.

Only when Li Qing and the ministers of the court are completely opposed can Emperor Tianfu use him with confidence.

Sure enough, as soon as he left, the expression on Li Qing's face immediately turned unfriendly towards Zhongbaiguan.

For a poor family without any background, it's fine if you don't look for a backer after entering the court, and the first thing you do is to weaken the power of the family.

None of the officials wanted to see a humble force represented by Li Qing appear in the court in the future.

Of course, everyone present is an old fox.

Although he is hostile to Li Qing in his heart, he still needs to do some superficial work well.

They still have to rely on Li Qing to stuff their own people into Yushitai.

"Changqing, congratulations! When you first entered the imperial court, His Majesty appointed you as a censor, which can be said to be a mighty gift from heaven.

In addition to the three independent provinces and six departments, Yushitai is the imperial court's supervisory department, and you must be aware of its importance.

Regarding the establishment of Yushitai, the old man also has some shallow opinions in his mind.If you are interested, you can come to my house anytime. "

Prime Minister Sima Yan said with a smile.

"Thanks to the prime minister's praise, if you have any doubts, I will ask you for advice."

Before Sima Yan could continue to speak, Kong Wei, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, came over.

"I heard that Changqing spent the night at the old man's house yesterday. I don't know how comfortable it is to live there? It will take a few days to clean the mansion that His Majesty gave you. You might as well stay here during this period. My boy is the same age as you, and we can also live there with each other." Discuss the way of the saint."

"I've seen the sacrificial wine." Li Qing bowed and said, "It's much more comfortable than the inn, so Li Qing has the audacity to bother you for a few more days."

Hearing Li Qing's reply, Guozijian Jijiu Kong Wei laughed, and dragged him to the outside of Chengtian Hall, without giving the other colleagues a chance to get close to each other.
