Han family achievements

Chapter 122

The doctor hurried back amidst Liu Bian's shouts, and took Cai Yong and his daughter to the backyard for examination and treatment.

Standing in the front hall, Liu Bian looked at the vague eyes of a group of people, coughed softly, and said that he didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to leave.

After thinking about it, he sat back and said to Dazai, "How many students have been dismissed by the Taixue?"

She was just looking for something to say, but what she thought in her heart was: 'The quality of the skirt is so good...'

Dazai raised his hand nervously and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the total is 230 six. Hongdu school cut 120 three. Taichang cut redundant officials by 36."

Liu Bian nodded casually, followed by the teacup Pan Yin handed over, pretending to think about it to resolve the embarrassment.

Forcibly thinking about too common things in my heart.

The number of Tai students is huge. Although various things have gone through this year, there are still more than 200 students, and the reduction of more than [-] is still too conservative.

Hongdu Menxue was Lingdi's 'spurious whim'. There were not many students, a total of 600 students, and more than 100 people were cut. It seemed to be a big effort, but it was even worse than Taixue, and it was not cruel enough.

And too often, most of the powers and positions were transferred to Liu Cao, and more than 30 people were cut, which is also quite moderate.

'Did Cai Yong take protective measures, or did Wang Yun also compromise? '

Liu Bian pondered in his heart.

According to his plan, the first step is to reduce the number of officials in Luoyang City by one-tenth, and the number of places is also quite large.

"The imperial court cut down redundant officials,"

Liu Bian looked at the Dazai, and said, "It's for slimming and strengthening, improving administrative efficiency, and avoiding a bloated system and overstaffing. It's not about courtiers fighting, or someone messing up the government. This move is of great benefit to the country and the people." "

Dazai raised his hand and said cautiously: "I understand."

The others followed suit and bowed their heads as a gesture of His Majesty's sage.

Liu Bian nodded, and glanced at the side door from the corner of his eye, silently.

I sighed in my heart, what is this called?
Zuo Li came in from the outside, seeing the atmosphere was a bit quiet, quickly lowered his head, walked to Liu Bian's side in small steps, handed over a playbook, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Shang Shutai just received it."

Liu Bian's expression became serious, and he reached out to take it. Just as he was about to open it, he heard footsteps from the side door.

He stood up quickly, smiling all over his face.

Cai Yong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, my daughter is fine, please don't worry about it, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian tilted his head and looked at Cai Wenji behind him.

His forehead was wrapped in gauze, his nose was protruding, and he greeted Liu Bian gently, his eyes were calm, and he didn't speak.

Liu Bian really wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Quiet.

Seeing this, Pan Yin quickly interjected: "Cai Xiaoniang, Tang Niangniang in the palace admires Cai Xiaoniang's studies very much. If you have time, please come to the palace to communicate with Tang Niangniang."

Liu Bian glanced at Pan Yin, feeling very satisfied.

Cai Wenji blinked, and said softly: "Thank you for your favor, Mrs. Tang, Cai Yan is free, so I will definitely go to the palace to see Mrs. Tang."

After alleviating the embarrassment, Liu Bian smiled and said: "Then it's settled. Cai Qing's family has worked hard today. In a few days, we will go to the palace to talk."

After speaking, Liu Bian couldn't wait to leave.

"The minister leads the order."

Cai Yong followed Liu Bian closely and said, "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."

Cai Yong was very enthusiastic and sent Liu Bian out all the way.

Liu Bian originally wanted to explain something to him, but now that his daughter has been beaten like this, how can he say it?
After leaving Taichang, Liu Bian got into the carriage and said, "Go back to the palace."

After sitting in the carriage, Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Pan Yin, "Good job."

"The villain doesn't dare." Pan Yin said, but his face couldn't hide his joy.

Zuo Li glanced at Pan Yin, jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Cai Yong, Cai Yan and others stood outside the door, watching Liu Bian's carriage go away.

Cai Yong looked back at Cai Yan, sighed softly, "Daughter, you saved father's life."

Cai Yong showed doubts, and said softly: "Father, isn't Your Majesty very gentle?"

Cai Yong remained motionless, but smiled wryly in his heart.

Very gentle?The gentle emperor can't make it to the present!
On the carriage, Liu Bian calmed down for a while, and then opened the playbook in his hand.

This is Luoyang Cheng's memorial to impeach Wang Yun, which lists twelve major crimes: arbitrariness of power, disorder of the country, treachery, flattering superiors, bullying inferiors, corruption, condoning domestic slaves to commit crimes, and so on.

Liu Bian remained motionless, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The carriage moved slowly, and not long after, there was a loud noise that made Liu Bian's eardrums hurt.

Liu Bian opened the curtain, and saw that the gate of Tingwei's mansion was full of people, making a scene, as if they were all here to complain.

At this time, in Ting Wei's mansion.

Zhong Yao struggled to escape from the front office, and came to the back hall, frowning, with a serious expression on his face.

With the start of the "reduction of redundant officials", the number of complaints suddenly increased. In one noon, there were as many as 50 people.

Sue everyone, Prime Minister Yang Biao, Zuo Pushe Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, Xun You, even Zhong Yao himself did not escape.

More and more people complained about their grievances, and everyone screamed, as if they had suffered a great injustice.

"Tingwei has worked hard." Suddenly, a white-haired old man walked in outside the door and said with a smile.

Zhong Yao was startled, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Yuan Chang is confused, he forgot Mr. Chen. Forgive me, forgive me."

The visitor was in his early sixties, full of vigor, and said with a smile, "I entrust you to call Ting Wei a nephew, isn't it too much?"

"Mr. Chen has displeased me. Please sit down." Although Zhong Yao is a court lieutenant, one of His Majesty's confidantes, and is recognized as having a bright future, he still respects Chen Ji very much.

After Chen Ji sat down, he looked at Zhong Yao and said, "Ting Wei has a headache?"

Zhong Yao sat opposite him, poured tea for him, and said, "Please also ask Mr. Chen to teach me."

Seeing that Zhong Yao didn't get carried away, Chen Jiya smiled and said straight to the point: "I heard that when you hit a snake with a whisker seven inches, you shoot the horse first."

Zhong Yao was stunned, then enlightened, and said: "Mr. Chen, you mean to start with the officials in court?"

The more Chen Ji smiled, he said: "I'm glad I wasn't designated as a superfluous official, but I'm afraid when I do, there must be something to do."

Use the existing court officials to suppress the redundant officials who have been reduced!
There are two or three officials in Luoyang city, all of whom are relatives and old friends, teachers and friends.

Suddenly enlightened, Zhong Yao stood up and raised his hand, saying solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your guidance."

Chen Ji picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "No need to be polite. My son Changwen is about to reach his age, and I would like to invite you to be an aide of the Tingwei. Is it possible?"

Long text, written by Chen Qun.

Zhong Yao knew that there must be something wrong with Chen Jisuo's visit, but he didn't expect it to be because of Chen Qun.

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Yao said: "Mr. Chen, Changwen is famous for his talent and reputation. Is it too humiliating to enter our shogunate? There are many vacancies in the imperial court. My nephew would like to recommend you."

Chen Ji shook his head, and said, "You and I are both good at law and good at etiquette, and things about etiquette are acceptable, and state affairs will inevitably be neglected."

Zhong Yao was born in a judicial family. He was an official in the Tingwei Mansion in the past dynasties, and he had a close relationship with the Chen family, who were also famous in Yingchuan.

Seeing what Chen Ji said, Zhong Yao paused and said, "Where is Changwen now?"

Chen Jidao: "I was originally in Xuzhou, and later traveled to Qinghai and Hebei, and discussed the scriptures with Kong Rong, and I can arrive in Beijing in four or five days at most."

Zhong Yao thought for a while, and said, "Then, nephew will be reluctant. If Changwen intends to enter the court in the future, nephew will be recommended."

With Zhong Yao's current status, recommending anyone is almost 100% successful.

Chen Ji stood up with a smile, and said: "Thank you Tingwei, I will hold a banquet some other day, I think I would like to thank you."

Seeing that Chen Ji was about to leave, Zhong Yao hurriedly said, "Does Mr. Chen plan to become an official?"

Chen Ji was originally an aide in General He Jin's mansion, but later he was transferred to Ping Yuan. Because Emperor Ling passed away, under a series of major incidents, he hid in Yingchuan for more than half a year, and witnessed Liu Bian's personal conquest victory. After returning, I couldn't help but enter Beijing again.

Chen Ji smiled and said: "I am old and frail, and I can't bear the responsibility. I plan to write a book behind closed doors with Yingchuan."

It's a pity in Zhong Yao's heart, this man has a great reputation and ability, if he becomes an official, he should do something.

He didn't persuade much, and said: "My nephew will send Chen Gong off."

Zhong Yao sent Chen Ji away from the back door. Thinking of Chen Qun, he murmured thoughtfully, "Since Chen Qun chose to enter Beijing, he must have plans to become an official?"

On the other side, just as Liu Bian returned to Jingfu Hall and walked towards the study, he suddenly heard a muffled thunder, and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

I saw that the sky was clear and cloudless.

"Has it snowed yet?" Liu Bian asked.

Pan Yin was taken aback, and said, "Yes, it hasn't snowed this year."

Liu Bian nodded, went into the study, sat down, collected himself, reached out to look for the memorabilia in front of him, and said, "Yang Biao's policy agenda hasn't been delivered yet?"

Pan Yin said: "Not yet, the villain will go and remind you."

Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "Don't rush, let him be fully prepared."

Pan Yin responded silently, backed away quietly, and before she reached her position, she saw Tang Ji walking in with a plate from the corner of her eye.

"The concubine has seen His Majesty." Tang Ji saluted.

Liu Bian took the bowl and said, "What did you hear?"

Tang Ji pursed her lips, her eyes were a little red, and said, "The empress dowager scolded the concubine."

Liu Bian was startled, took her hand, sat on his lap, comforted her and said, "It's all right, I won't ask next time."

Tang Ji sat on Liu Bian's lap, looked at him, hesitated to speak.

Liu Bian smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Tang Ji was a little hesitant, and leaned closer to Liu Bian's ear and whispered: "The concubine heard that the empress sent someone out of the palace."

This Liu Bian knew that the concubine was chosen for him, so he wanted to stop it.

Liu Bian patted her on the back and said: "It's okay. By the way, I met Cai Taichang's daughter outside the palace just now. Pan Yin said that you like her. If she enters the palace, you can chat with her and talk about it." Poetry etiquette or something."

Tang Ji was puzzled, and looked back at Pan Yin in the blink of an eye.

Pan Yin immediately bowed and laughed.

Tang Ji was puzzled, but still said: "The concubine knows."

Liu Bian hummed, and said, "Your father is going back to his hometown, you go and see him off."

Tang Ji pursed her lips, she really wanted to intercede for his father, but she finally held back, stood up and said, "Please leave."

Liu Bian watched her leave, and stretched out his hand to uncover the silk on the table, revealing five large characters on the white paper: Jiupin Zhongzheng System.

He quietly looked at the hundreds of words written, picked up the pen, and continued writing after deliberation.

The so-called Jiupin Zhongzheng System was developed from the Juju system in the Han Dynasty. It not only retained the local recommendation system, but also formulated the criteria for selecting officials. In fact, it was a manifestation of strengthening the centralization of power.

The biggest advantage of this system is that it can ease the relatively tense relationship between the imperial court and the aristocratic families, and it can also control the selection and appointment of officials, making the administration of officials relatively clear.

Liu Bian is constantly centralizing power in the name of 'restoring the old system', and the Jiupin Zhongzheng System can rationalize this centralization, further promote the political clarity of the court, and strengthen the relationship or control between the court and the other party.

Based on his memory and reality, Liu Bian sorted out what he thought was the most reasonable.

After thinking for a while, Liu Bian picked up the pen and continued writing.

He didn't know that Chen Qun was on his way to Beijing.
