I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 215 My Way to Get Rid of Huo Dang's Roots (Subscribe)

"There is a number on the couch, and the number has been sent to Lang Guan in advance. They just need to follow the map to find out."

"Okay, that's great, what does Father Zhong think?" Liu He asked.

"Well, it's similar to the marching formation. Zhang Anshi and Bingji did a good job." Huo Guang said lightly.

Liu He asked the crowd again: "Did you have many sons and nephews in your family who participated in the imperial examination?"

Langguan can not only be produced through inspections, but also become Langguan through doctoral disciples, Yinguan, Renzi, etc.

Therefore, among the sons and nephews of the Sangong and Jiuqing, there are many Langguans.

"There are two nephews in the old minister's family!" Cai Yi hurriedly said.

"Weichen's younger brother is also present." Ting Wei Li Guang also said.

"Weichen's wife and brother are also at the moment." Shaofu Lecheng said.

"You should also refer to it." Da Honglu Wei Xian said.

"The same goes for dogs." The servant Du Yannian followed up.

……

Among the Sangong and Jiuqing, so many people sent their nephews for reference, which is why Huo Guang couldn't stop it - if he stopped, wouldn't it mean that the Huo family's children were inferior to others?

Liu He was very satisfied with the result, he nodded, and asked Huo Guang: "Father Zhong, is there any nephew of the Huo family who can also refer to it?"

"Well, there seem to be six or seven people. I'm busy with government affairs, so I never asked about it." Huo Guang said lightly, but with a hint of complacency.

It's hard for Huo Guang not to be complacent, six or seven people is already a big number, plus the rest of Huo Dang's nephews, there are probably dozens of people who are involved with Huo Guang.

If this imperial examination is not held, then Huo Guangding will slowly arrange them to the court, that would be terrible.

Liu He felt more and more that the imperial examination was imperative—it was a way to destroy the foundation of Huo Dang.

At this time, what Liu He did not expect was that Liu De also stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty, Liu Anmin, the son of a humble minister, is also present."

Everyone and Liu He were a little dazed, why did Liu Anmin come to join in the fun?
Liu Anmin is indeed a Lang Guan, but he has already been appointed as Zong Zhengcheng.

There are quite a few people who still retain the status of Lang Guan after he took up the real position. Although they can refer to him in name, they will not really come to refer to him.

"If I remember correctly, An Min should have taken up the position of Zong Zhengcheng. This is an official position with a rank higher than Qianshi, and his official career is smooth. Why should he refer to it again?"

"That's how Wei Chen persuaded Gou Zi, but he picked up the shortcomings of Wei Chen, and he was much more stubborn than ordinary people. He insisted on competing with Zhu Lang officials, so as not to be said that he was promoted by relying on his father's shade."

Liu He is very satisfied, this is about to roll up.

Liu De spoke very frankly, but the more Huo Guang listened to it, the more unhappy he became.

Obtain official positions by relying on the shade of the father, and promote officials by relying on relationships.

Isn't the former talking about Huo Yu, and the latter talking about himself?
This is not teaching his son a lesson, it is clearly pointing at mulberry and selling locust tree.

This Liu De is determined to fight against him.

Huo Guang realized that he was careless. The imperial examination seemed not easy.

Not only can the same standard be used to select more talents for the big man; it can also get rid of the disadvantages of nepotism as much as possible.

But what is good for the big man may not be good for Huo Guang: due to negligence, Huo Guang has missed the best time to refuse this matter.

If you stand up and overthrow this matter now, not only will the emperor be unhappy, but I am afraid that other officials will also be unhappy.

Huo Guang was not afraid of officials, not even the emperor, but he didn't dare to go too far.

Of course, Huo Guang's worry was only temporary.

Today, the Huo Party is quite powerful in the court.

As long as the inspection system is still practiced, a large part of the talents selected from the private sector will still come from Huo Guang.

As for the promotion of officials at the level of county governor, Huo Guang also has the final say.

For several joints of selecting talents, the imperial examination can only interfere with the slightly tasteless link of Lang Guan's first appointment as an official, and the impact is not great.

Besides, couldn't the nephews and nephews of so many people in the Huo Party stand out from the imperial examinations?

Just a joke.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang sat a little calmer, and regained his former composure.

After Liu He asked Zhugong's family for reference one by one, he immediately said happily: "It's my great fortune that Zhugong's nephew can make such progress. Let's see who's nephew can do it today." stand out!"

"promise!"

While speaking, all the Lang officials who were referred to have entered the venue, and they all sat on the couch in an orderly manner.

Standing on the high platform and looking down, they are like chess pieces of different shades.

The court game is like a chess game, and they are originally chess pieces.

And there are some children who can be discarded at any time.

Only by successfully fighting in the court and becoming the remaining ones, can they become stronger pawns.

How many of these more than 1000 chess pieces can win?
There was another three-way drum, and Bingji shouted again: "Please ask the emperor to come up with a question!"

Liu He stood up and took out a piece of cloth from his bosom.

Handed it over to Yu Wuyou who was beside him, and Yu Wuyou handed it over to Bingji.

It's a small thing, but it's also a big thing.

It is a trivial matter, because it is only the title of an article; it is a major event, but it can reflect the emperor's thoughts.

Is the article a small skill, or a great cause for the country?
This is the view put forward by the usurper hundreds of years later.

"I came up with this topic after thinking hard for a long time. Listen to me, gentlemen, how did it go?" Liu He smiled mysteriously.

As soon as Liu He finished speaking, Bingji read out the title in a louder voice.

"On Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhongzun against the barbarians!"

Huo Guang was surprised at once, but also happy, he couldn't help but smile a little more under his beautiful beard.

The title given by the emperor is good, and the barbarians are naturally the Huns. It seems that the emperor will continue to build momentum for the next year's expedition to the Huns.

What's more, Qi Huangong is the emperor, so of course Guan Zhong is his assistant minister.

I don't know how many people in Lang Guan's article later praised him.

It's pleasing to think about.

Using this topic can not only see Lang Guan's position on this matter, but also use it to arouse the opinions of the court.

The emperor is good, and has some ability to govern the government.

"On Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhongzun against the barbarians!"

……

The audience passed the question around, and someone brought a huge wooden board, wrote the question on it, and displayed it in the examination hall.

After a little commotion, the candidates began to answer questions.

Because the papermaking technology has not yet been fully implemented, expensive silk can only be used as writing materials for them.

If bamboo slips were used, then stacking these articles would take up a lot of space.

The sound of flipping the silk cloth was quite soft, different from the sound of flipping a book.

The entire examination hall suddenly fell silent, and there were no other voices.

There are also patrolling pavilions around the examination hall. They are led by the officials of Guanglu Temple and walk back and forth according to the prescribed route to prevent people from cheating.

The exam time is one hour, and the drum will be beat every quarter of an hour to remind Lang Guan of the time.

On the high platform, a group of officials were quiet at first, but then they discussed in a low voice.

Either discuss the topic, or discuss the imperial examination itself.

In short, their conversation was very interesting.

Liu He listened with pricked ears, and most of what he heard were compliments.

That's all the more satisfying.

"Father Zhong, what do you think of the topic I raised?"

"Your Majesty's topic is very good. It can unite the hearts of the people and create momentum for the expedition to the Huns next year." Huo Guang said.

"This is what I think. Father Zhong will take care of all the big things, and I can only do small things."

Words must be called Zhongfu, which is Liu He's greatest weapon.

Find what Huo Guang wants to do, and do it well in your own way, so that Huo Guang can taste the sweetness and let himself not suffer.

Confront in cooperation and cooperate in confrontation.

"It's the great man's fortune that His Majesty can keep his mind on state affairs."

When Liu He heard this, it was as if he had been greatly praised, and he was so excited that he said yes again and again.

The officials were busy writing and writing, and Liu He and others were free.

Liu He did not miss this time, and enthusiastically asked about Huo Chengjun's daily life, making Huo Guang, the father-in-law, blush.

In this way, the two gradually added another layer of emotional fetters.

I am so obedient, the general should tolerate me a lot.

Among the people present, except for Liu De and Bingji who clearly knew that the emperor wanted to be in charge, the rest were still kept in the dark.

Regardless of whether it is the Huo party or the neutral party, they are also very pleased to see the harmony between the emperor and the general Weng.

……

An hour, short or short, long or long, passed in the blink of an eye.

"The time has come, stop writing, paste names, close the paper!"

After Wutong's rapid drumbeat, the visitor once again passed down Bingji's order.

The Lang officials gradually stopped their pens and began to sew up the names on the scroll with the needles and threads prepared in advance, and then someone came to collect the scroll.

After a while, all the papers were collected together.

"Lang Guan leaves!"

The officials who came in a hurry left in a hurry.

After a while, all the officials left cleanly, and the examination hall was empty again.

Liu He stood up, and all the officials also stood up.

"Father Zhong, let me go and read the papers of these officials."

"only!"

……

The last piece of plain silk with words written on it was placed on the front rows of desks, and each stack was one or two feet thick.

Liu He flipped through a few copies casually and was very satisfied.

"Bingji."

"Wei Chen is here."

"Pick out all the volumes that are not well-named, and weed them out first."

"only!"

Soon, thirty or fifty scrolls with names missing were picked out.

Huo Guang saw that the emperor was so meticulous, so he naturally understood that he attached great importance to this matter.

So I remembered some rumors before the emperor took the throne, as if the emperor cared about these trivial things.

Caution is prudence, but some patterns are missing, Huo Guang did not bring it up, the emperor still needs time.

"Father Zhong, do you know what to do next?"

"The old man doesn't know."
