I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 242 The King's Father Who Is Everything

Wei Xuancheng is the son of Da Honglu Wei Xian, and he was also the second place in the first imperial examination, so not long ago, he was able to serve as a doctor advising Biqianshi.

Wei Xuancheng is only 36 and seven years old now, and he is in his prime.

Although he is still unknown now, his official career will go smoothly in the future, and he will not lose to other famous ministers in the Han Empire when he becomes a royal doctor and prime minister.

When it comes to recruiting famous officials, they should be recruited when they are young - this is Liu He's own advantage.

As for Wei Xuancheng's official position, Liu He had already thought about it.

After entering the Xuanshi Hall, Wei Xuancheng saluted the emperor in a very reasonable and restrained manner: over 30 years old, is the prime of life, the age most able to do things, and the age most want to make some achievements.

For Wei Xuancheng, Liu He was most impressed by two things.

One is a humble chivalrous man who cares about the affairs of the poor people. He is almost another version of Liu Bingji. Maybe he has similar interests. In the original timeline, Wei Xuancheng was reused by Liu Bingji.

The second is that he does not seek fame and fortune. Before his father Wei Xian died, he had intentionally let Wei Xuancheng inherit the title of Marquis of Fuyang, but after his father died, he actually pretended to be crazy and gave up the title of Marquis of Fuyang to his elder brother.

Reminiscent of Huo Guang asking Huo Shan and Huo Yun for a title not long ago in order to consolidate his power, Liu He naturally had a new affection for Wei Xuancheng.

Such a person is the most suitable person to be the long history of Menxia Temple.

"I have read Wei Qing's article in the imperial examination, and it is very well written."

"Your Majesty is absurd." Wei Xuancheng replied respectfully.

In that article, Wei Xuancheng proposed that the "barbarians" that the king of the Han respected should not only be the Huns, but should also include other ethnic groups. The barbarians were enlightened by the sages and respected Confucianism with the great Han, which is the ultimate strategy to pacify the barbarians.

Although it sounds a little retreat, but if it can really be implemented as a practice, then it is indeed a good move.

Many measures are not bad, but no one implements them. In the end, their cores are gradually hollowed out, and they naturally become empty words.

"After Wei Qing took the imperial examination, has his official position in the court been settled?" Liu He asked.

"It's settled, Bi Qianshi's advising doctor."

"That's right, if you're under forty, you can be a doctor who advises Qianshi, and you are already a leader among your peers."

"Your Majesty has wrongly rewarded you, and I am sincerely terrified." Wei Xuancheng met the saint alone for the first time. Although his father Wei Xian had already mentioned a lot at home last night, he still felt a little flustered.

At this time Liu He was fully twice the age of Wei Xuancheng, and it was a bit weird when he said the word "peer", but Wei Xuancheng looked normal.

The emperor is the father, no matter how young the father is, he is still the father, and no matter how old the minister is, he is still the minister.

This must not be reversed.

"I want to discuss something with you, what do you think?"

The emperor and his ministers were right, and there were rules, not to mention Wei Xuancheng, a young talent who was born in a family of officials, had been under the influence of his ears and eyes all day long, and he was very familiar with the rules of the court.

He had never heard that the emperor actually wanted to discuss matters with the "courtiers".

Even if you want to discuss it, it should be discussed with the three gongs and nine ministers. How can I, a "newcomer" who has just been promoted to an advising doctor, deserve this term.

At the moment, Wei Xuancheng was even more terrified and fearful, even saying he didn't dare.

"I want to transfer you to Menxia Temple to serve as the chief historian, and your rank is also a thousand stones, would you like it?" Because Wei Xuancheng had an official position, Liu He could not directly recruit him, so when he was summoned, he was not informed of the reason in advance.

There are long histories in each of the government offices where the government was established. Carry out daily management, and the most important task is to manage the documents.

Although Changshi's rank is the same as that of the advising doctor, but after all, he belongs to the subordinates of the government office, so he is not as noble as the admonishing doctor who can participate in the great imperial court.

There may not be too many obstacles in the promotion in the future, but I am afraid that the time will be longer than that of admonishing a doctor-but for a Confucian student like Wei Xuancheng who is "born in the right way", from advising a doctor to a lieutenant or a county guard Phase is the way.

Because of the above reasons, Liu He thought that Wei Xuancheng would at least hesitate for a moment before agreeing, but he didn't expect Wei Xuancheng to answer immediately as soon as his words fell.

"My minister is willing to come to Menxia Temple to be the chief historian."

"Huh? Wei Qing doesn't regret it. Changshi has a lot of chores to deal with, but he is not as lofty as an admonishing doctor."

"Your Majesty is willing to build a temple under the gate to do those thankless chores, so what can't I do?"

"A few days ago in the court hall, your old father once said that it was an act of madness for me to open the Menxia Temple. Now that you are here to be my long history, aren't you afraid of being expelled from the house?" Liu He said half-truthfully .

"My father told me about this yesterday. My father told me that there is no such thing as a monarch in the world. He is loyal when admonishing in the court, and he is also loyal when he is recruited by the emperor."

"Duke Wei is a man who understands." Liu He praised sincerely. There are indeed many people who can win over the "middle faction" above the court. People like Wei Xian will eventually fall to his side .

"Then I will go and explain to the general, and I will transfer you to Menxia Temple as soon as possible, and serve as my long history."

"promise."

Liu He originally wanted to mention the general situation in the court again, and clarify the matter between himself and the general in advance, but he thought twice, and finally decided not to express it.

Now is the time when he and Huo Guang are in harmony. Wei Xuancheng is just a long history, and he is dealing with the internal affairs of Menxia Temple, so there is no need to express his position in front of Huo Guang, so there is no need to tell him.

"Okay, Guang Luxun and Zhang Anshi will dispatch a group of scribes and subordinates to Menxia Temple. You can consult Guang Luxun and the Shaofu about the opening of the government office. They will assist you."

"promise."

……

At noon a few days later, Liu He came to the courtyard of Menxia Temple. He didn't go in directly, but stopped from a distance to look.

Compared with more than ten days ago, the lively scene here has changed again.

The knocking craftsmen have all evacuated, and the Changyi Langs are guarding a few courtyard gates, making these two long-abandoned courtyards glow with vitality again.

Although Liu He was still tens of feet away from the courtyard, he could already vaguely hear the voices of people in it.

Today, he came to see all the subordinate officials of [-] shi and above in Menxia Temple. Although the number of staff is not enough, there are at least dozens of them. Presumably they are discussing in the courtyard at the moment.

Liu He likes to be slow, so that enough time can be left for the officials to exchange opinions in private.

"Your Majesty, it's already noon, you can go in." Yu Wuyou beside Liu He reminded softly.

This young Lang Guan seemed a bit haggard. He had to manage the affairs of the Menxia Temple, and deal with the affairs that Liu He had entrusted to him before, and he had to go to Changle Palace to explain the scriptures to the Empress Dowager Shangguan from time to time, even if he was a young man in his early twenties. People, also a little haggard.

When Wei Xuancheng takes office, Yu Wuyou will be more relaxed.

In fact, it wasn't just Yu Wuyou, Liu He also hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

In other words, after coming to Weiyang Palace, the number of times Liu He was able to sleep deeply is also one of the few.

Since we only seize the day and night, then naturally it has nothing to do with the life of Anche.

"Go, come in with me."

"promise!"

Liu He walked into the temple through the specially designed side door, and after burning incense in the winding corridor, he finally came to the courtyard outside the main hall.

As soon as he walked in, he saw five or sixty people already standing in the yard.

These officials seemed to have heard the sound a long time ago, and turned to Liu He in unison for a while, and bowed down in unison after a while.

"My humble minister greets His Majesty the Emperor."

After a moment of silence, Liu He said in a harmonious voice, "Free from courtesy."

After all, Liu He walked towards the main hall and sat on the couch under everyone's attention.

Menxia Temple opened its doors.
