I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 243 I won't let honest people suffer (please subscribe)
"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.

These people under the monastery were unknowingly divided into two groups.

On the right are the officials brought by Liu He from Changyi Kingdom, including old people like Wang Shi.

On the left are Cheng, Ling, and officials from different government offices who were recently transferred to Menxia Temple... Among them, the highest rank is Qianshi, and the lowest rank is Biliubaishi.

Liu He counted, and all the people added up, there were about 40 to [-] people.

And at the closest to Liu He's left and right hands, stood Yu Wuyou and Wei Xuancheng respectively.

There are many government offices transferred to Menxia Temple, there may be more than a dozen large and small, and these government offices have a well-established top-down structure, so Liu He has no intention of breaking their structure, and there is actually no way to break it.

In order to allow these officials to do things with peace of mind, Liu He decided not to change the internal framework of these government offices for the time being, but to participate in the political affairs from a high level by sending officials to these government offices.

To put it mildly, these officials are acting as advisors, and to put it mildly, they are acting as deacons on behalf of the emperor.

This is actually the rudiment of the system of three provinces and six ministries - the emperor's close ministers with lower ranks are used to directly intervene in the real power departments, so that the emperor can hold power more tightly.

Liu He looked at the officials standing under the hall, and found that their expressions were quite rich.

A little frowning, a little excited...

The former probably thinks that Liu He is a useless puppet emperor, while the latter is glad that he has suddenly become a close minister of the emperor.

Compared with the three officials, nine ministers and Lieqing who have achieved fame and valued fame in the court, these officials have more ranks, so they have a stronger desire for fame and wealth, and their expressions are so rich-who doesn't want to be famous?
Where there is desire, there is motivation, but there may also be betrayal.

More importantly, these low-ranking officials are rarely recorded in the history books, and Liu He doesn't know much about them.

Looking for a needle in a haystack, and the big waves washing the sand, Liu He has to slowly pick out those trustworthy talents.

Liu He cleared his throat, and after speaking some persuasive words, he entered the two topics of today—announcing the appointment and dismissal of the most important personnel in Menxia Temple.

The first is the appointment of Taixueling.

The Taixue Ling didn't do anything at all, and the current Taixueling is concurrently held by other officials in the court, so Liu He can appoint the Taixueling first, and he doesn't have to worry about other people's opposition.

What's more, the person Liu He is about to appoint as the Taixue Ling is Wang Shi. This old man has a high status among scholars, so naturally no one in the Taixue would dare to object.

"Wang Shi is my mentor and a senior scholar. I will promote him as an imperial scholar. I also hope that all the doctoral officials can help me to expand the learning of sages and the virtues of scholars."

Before today, Xue Guangde, Tian Wangsun and other doctoral officials had already learned that Wang Shi was going to be appointed as the imperial magistrate, and they were not surprised.

As soon as the appointment was announced, they immediately saluted the emperor first, and then saluted the respected king.

The second appointment was naturally for Wei Xuancheng.

"Wei Xuancheng is the second place in the imperial examination. You must have read his article, right?"

After the imperial examinations were over, the fifteen articles that were selected were distributed to various government offices one after another, and even engraved into stone tablets, which were placed in a prominent position in Beique until today.

It is impossible for any official who wants to make a difference in the court not to read it carefully.

So after Liu He finished speaking, all the officials in the hall nodded in agreement.

"Wei Qing has lofty aspirations, but I also want him to be down-to-earth, so I have already mentioned to the court that he will be transferred to Menxia Temple to serve as a long history for me. Afterwards, the temple will deal with affairs. If the ministers cannot find him I can discuss with Wei Qing and let him convey it on my behalf."

As soon as Liu He finished speaking, he saw many officials in the hall cast envious glances at Wei Xuancheng.

The rank of the long history is not too high, but the long history of this Menxia Temple is different from the long history of other places - isn't that the candidate for the future prime minister, and at the end of the day, it must be that Jiuqing did not run away.

In the court today, the general is assisting the government, and the emperor's right to speak is not strong.

But the general will eventually grow old. The emperor is 30 years younger than the general. No matter how greedy the general is for power, he will return power to the emperor after all.

Just like this Menxia Temple, isn't it also the beginning of General Huo's return to the government?

Such an opportunity fell on Wei Xuancheng's head, how could it not be envied by others?

Naturally, Liu He had expected this for a long time.

Since everyone is holding their heads up and opening their mouths, waiting for the big cakes falling from the sky, I will let you eat some.

Anyway, the cakes are all drawn, and it only costs words, not money.

"I know that the things that you should take care of are all those thankless things, and I have credit and hard work for my big man."

"And it is often easy to be despised by others. Others even say that Zhu Qing is in a bitter kiln and in a cold prison."

"That's what I think. People who say these sarcastic remarks have blind eyes and don't know the jade of Kunlun."

"I can assure you all that I will recommend anyone who has meritorious service to the general, so that you can have a better future in court, and I won't let honest people suffer."

This last sentence, Liu He said it with a lot of meaning.

Words have everything but meaning is endless.

The rest is up to you to guess.

After Wei Xuancheng also met the ceremony with everyone, Liu He announced by the way that he set up an interpreter Cao and let Su Wu and Fu Jiezi be divided into Cao Cao and Cao Shi.

After a brief hesitation, everyone began to discuss again.

Whether it is Su Wu or Fu Jiezi, they are all people with reputation but no status. Everyone is guessing why they were ordered to enter the temple.

Since it was a plank road being built openly and Chen Cang being kept in the dark, it was impossible for Liu He to tell them the real intention of this move.

"In the past, Zhang Qian dug through the Western Regions and brought back walnuts, flax, courgettes, garlic, etc.... to make our people more prosperous in food and clothing, but I heard that there are many crops in the Western Regions that the Han Dynasty has never had before, so I want Fu Qing to Wait for someone to find more, so that the people of the Han Dynasty will be more abundant in terms of food, clothing and medicine."

After Liu He finished speaking, the subordinate officials of the government office related to farming, weaving and weaving in the hall nodded frequently, which seemed to agree with the matter.

In the end, there was only one last thing left, Liu He wanted to arrange Dai Zong's officials to various government offices.

"When I was in Changyi Kingdom, I was very concerned about farming and weaving, lacquerwork, salt and iron, etc. Yu Wuyou and other officials got along with me day and night, and they were taught by me in these things, and they were able to master many secret methods. .”

"In order for them to be able to make a difference, and not be sapped by the good life in Weiyang Palace, I will build a consultation room to accommodate them. For the time being, let's call them counselors."

Liu He's words were very meaningful, and he was telling those subordinate officials not to worry, these emperor's close ministers would not take away the seals around their waists.

Sure enough, when Liu He said this, those subordinate officials who had always looked solemn were relieved as if they had been granted an amnesty.

"However, I will send the counseling order to the government offices of the ministers according to their respective expertise, and pass on some of the secret methods I have figured out to the officials. It must be beneficial to the affairs of the ministers, and it will be effective. , It is the blessing of the people of the Han Dynasty, and having political achievements is the capital for Zhuqing to take a step forward in the court."

"Yu Wuyou is in charge of the advisory order. If you encounter any problems in the implementation of the secret law in various government offices, you can ask him to solve them."

Then, Yu Wuyou led a group of officials to see the salute, and the subordinate officials also returned the salute respectfully.

Applying the various secret methods learned before to the affairs of workers and peasants is the most important thing for the officials like Yu Wuyou to do now.

It was also what Liu He was most concerned about.

On the one hand, he wants to secure the throne in the court, and on the other hand, he wants to promote the development of the great man.

The former is the guarantee of the latter, and the latter is the purpose of the former. Any partiality at either end will make Liu He's ultimate goal meaningless.

It is not Liu He's ideal and wish to be transformed into a political machine and a cold-blooded emperor by the treacherous schemes in the court. He hopes to lead the big man to continue to move forward with his youthful vigor.

Menxia Temple is such a beginning.

Of course, today only two things were arranged for Liu He to do, and the matter of building a mausoleum for Emperor Xiaozhao was temporarily put on hold.

It's not that Liu He forgot about it, but that he was waiting for a few strong men to do it.

Jianling County needs brains and wrists, and scholars like Yu Wuyou, Wei Xuancheng, and Wang Shi can't do it. It must have a few officials—of course, they can also be cruel officials.
