I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 177 The Virtuous Literature Who Fight With Me (Subscribe)
When Liu He came to the throne, he had never seen such a noisy scene in the court hall.

After he finished speaking, he still stood, looking at everyone with that pretended ignorance.

It seems that he is at a loss, but he is actually secretly observing the reactions of everyone.

Who will be the first to stand up and sing the opposite of himself?

Soon, Liu He noticed.

The Huo party were very cautious, and they all looked at Huo Guang, but for some reason, Huo Guang walked back to his couch and sat down silently.

It seemed to be avoiding, and it seemed to leave Liu He alone in the hall to wait for the baptism of the wind and rain.

This behavior is quite interesting.

It seems that the wind and rain are destined to be severe, and even Huo Guang has to avoid its edge.

Liu He's guess was pretty good. Huo Guang had ideas about giving Emperor Xiaowu a temple name, but he didn't dare to act.

Commonly known as, there is evil heart, but no courage.

On the other hand, Zhao Chongguo, Zhang Anshi, Liu De and others looked calm, and there seemed to be no sign of opposition.

They are doers in the court, not to mention that they all miss Emperor Xiaowu, even if they think that Emperor Xiaowu is at fault, they still value the credit that Emperor Xiaowu has made for the great man.

Not to mention, Emperor Xiaowu was kind to them all.

In the court hall, the ones who are restless and really feel like mourning are the group of "virtual officials" who have been prosecuted to become officials in the court in the name of virtuous literature, but without much real knowledge.

Virtuous literature is a subject of the investigation system.Those who are selected are those who "dare to speak out and are not afraid of admonishment".

Dong Zi put forward the theory of "response between heaven and man", and believed that all kinds of disasters are God's condemnation to the emperor. Once a disaster strikes, it shows that the emperor has done something wrong and must conduct self-examination.

At this time, it is time to issue an edict to ask for talents, solicit opinions, and correct mistakes.

What I want is this virtuous literature.

The virtuous literature that has been cited over the years has produced many famous officials, but most of them are classics who cannot "practical".

Because they have buried their heads in piles of old papers all the year round, they have high attainments in Confucian classics, but they can't do it. They can only fill some unimportant positions.

Doctors, admonishing doctors, Chinese doctors... are the final destination of most virtuous literature.

There are not many opportunities to play on weekdays, and only when important officials in the court need to quote scriptures, they will come out to echo a few times.

It is a decoration that can be more or less in the court hall.

Because these virtuous literatures do not grasp the practicalities, then it is even more necessary to protect the name. If they do not even protect this matter, then what are they doing with these decorations.

Liu He looked at the officials who bowed their heads and whispered, but did not stop their actions, but let them talk and let their ideas gradually ferment.

Waiting for work with leisure, Liu He just needs to wait.

Not long after, an old man sitting opposite Wang Ji stood up.

Wang Ji is Weiyang Weiwei, the last of Jiuqing, and in front of him is Changle Weiwei Fan Mingyou.

And the old man who stood up was none other than Xia Housheng, Changxin Shaofu.

Changxin Palace is the dormitory where the Empress Dowager lives, so this official should be in charge of all affairs of Changle Palace just like Shaofu Lecheng.

But the emperor always has it, but the queen mother is often lacking. It is not cost-effective to set up the Changxin Shaofu alone.

Over time, it became a vacant position, with the same rank as Jiuqing, but without any real power, not even the government office.

It is most suitable to install Xia Housheng, an old Confucian who can't do hard work and can only read scriptures.

Seeing Xia Housheng standing up, Liu He couldn't help smiling contemptuously.

You are waiting.

Liu He suddenly remembered that the granddaughter of the Changxin Shaofu was still Jieyu, who he "had never been through".

After all, he was still his grandfather.

"Veteran Xia Housheng, I have something to play!"

"Oh? Is it Changxin Shaofu? You are a veteran in the court, so you don't need to be formal."

Xia Housheng was over seventy years old, and Yang Chang was a few years older, but he was in good health, and he walked vigorously, which made Liu He mistakenly think he saw Wang Shi.

"The old minister does not agree to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple name!" Xia Housheng said it bluntly, taking advantage of his age, relying on the old to sell the old, without any euphemism.

"Oh? What's the opinion of Changxin Shaofu? Do you think that my evaluation of Emperor Xiaowu just now was wrong, or do you think that Emperor Xiaowu is not a Mingjun?" Liu He didn't evade in any way.

Xia Housheng is a stubborn old Confucian who regards fame and festivals as the foundation. He said without any fear: "My previous emperors in the Han Dynasty were all wise emperors, but not only Ming emperors can get temple names. In the past, at the Xianliang Literature Conference, All virtuous literature has already judged the merits and demerits of Emperor Xiaowu, and it is not appropriate for Emperor Xiaowu to be named in the temple."

"Oh? I've heard about the Xianliang Literature Conference. At the Xianliang Conference, did anyone really think that Emperor Xiaowu's faults outweigh his merits?" Liu He asked pretending not to understand.

I saw the elderly Xia Housheng showing a trace of complacency, and said without haste: "I am fortunate to have been recommended by Tian Qianqiu, the Prime Minister at that time, to participate in the virtuous meeting. It is not just the old man, there are many people in this hall All attended the meeting of virtues."

"Kong Jia, a humble minister and court official, once participated in a meeting of virtue..."

"Meng Yi, a minister admonishing the doctor, once participated in a virtuous meeting..."

"Zeng Bing, the doctor of Weichen Zhongsan, once participated in the virtuous meeting..."

……

Under the leadership of Xia Housheng, these virtuous literature seemed to have received a signal, and fifteen or six people stood up at once.

Liu He only knew that the virtuous meeting was very important, but he didn't expect so many people in the court to attend this meeting.

Liu He paid attention to their official positions, most of them were various doctors.

In name, they are preparatory officials who advise the emperor, but they are actually false positions.

It has been seven years since the Literary Virtue Conference passed, and those with real talents and learning should be promoted early.

Either work in the government office with real power in the court, or send it out to the counties and states to serve as a party guard.

Those who still remain in the court to serve as vacant positions are probably some people who have a vegetarian meal in their corpses-it is said that they are reserve officials, and there is no such thing as a reserve with gray hair.

It's time to let go of the position and make room for those who are capable.

If you don't stand up, I don't know who else is there?

"Your Majesty, the ministers standing up are all witnesses of the literary virtuous conference, and they were also famous virtuous literature at that time. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the general."

At that time, two of the Sangongs had already passed away. If they wanted to ask for proof, they could only ask Huo Guang.

When Liu He looked at Huo Guang, the latter was silent and just nodded slightly. This low-key attitude was intriguing.

Liu He was even more convinced that although Huo Guang won the court struggle with the help of his literary virtues, he was also secretly dissatisfied with some of their actions, so he kept silent.

Liu He made a judgment immediately. Although Huo Guang didn't express his position, it was also an attitude not to express his position.
