Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 32 Prosecution, Reward! 【For collection, for follow-up】

Among the ministers, Huang Jingming tilted his head slightly, scanning the beaming faces of the promoted cronies with his peripheral vision, feeling quite proud in his heart.

This young master kept his word, so, with the little emperor's endorsement, this general can truly monopolize the government.

Haha, praise and worship are not known, entering the court is not followed, swords and shoes are worn in the palace...

The kid on the throne probably thought these twelve words were just to reward the meritorious officials, but he didn't know what it really meant?

Among the ministers, Chu Ziwen, the official censor, almost knit his eyebrows together.

Although he is a censor, the power of the procuratorate has almost fallen into the hands of his deputy censor Zhongcheng Jiang Guangtao. However, as a scholar-official with an upright personality, he is very worried about the current situation in the court.

Especially this series of operations after the new emperor ascended the throne made him even more heartbroken.

My lord, do you know what this move means?
In the past dynasties, worshiping without being famous, entering the court but not tending, taking the sword to the palace, and conferring the title of king are all the standard equipment for powerful ministers to conspire against and usurp power.

Now there is only one gift of Jiuxi, and this general who has gone through three dynasties is about to go through the necessary procedures before usurping the throne!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but blame the late An Guohou Zhao Qin in his heart.

Lord Hou, Lord Hou, what have you taught this His Majesty?
However, no matter how much Chu Ziwen complained in his heart, he didn't dare, let alone speak at this time, asking His Majesty to take back his order.

Chu Ziwen doesn't care if he will offend the general, but this decree is the first decree issued by His Majesty after he ascended the throne. If he speaks out to question and object at this time, the imperial power that has already been impacted will be further weakened. Not only would it not be able to accomplish anything, but it would be beneficial to the General Fuguo.

Forget it, let's allow that rebellious minister to be arrogant for a little longer.

Chu Ziwen made a decision in his heart. After he retired from the court, he would definitely ask to see His Majesty alone to explain how powerful he was.

After promulgating a series of promotions for the courtiers, Zhao Yu spoke again:

"I have often heard that there are Zijin in the court and sages in the wild, which indicates the prosperity of education in our dynasty. But I have also thought that if there are sages in the wild, doesn't it mean that the imperial court cannot transfer the talents of the twenty prefectures of Chu Isn't it a great loss for Da Chu to have all the talents in the bag and make the pearl fall into dust? Therefore, I intend to tell the world and let the governors of each government recommend talents to the imperial court. If after the assessment, they are indeed talented, they can If it is used by the imperial court, I will not hesitate to give you a reward."

What Zhao Yu said was asking the governors of various prefectures to recommend talents to the central court, which is the so-called investigation system.

During the Han Dynasty in China, the official selection system was implemented in parallel with the investigation system and the expropriation system.

Although the inspection system has its advantages, its shortcomings are also obvious.

Among them, the biggest disadvantage is the mutual protection of officials.

You recommend my son to be a filial and honest person, and I recommend your son to be a talented person. Once again and again, the inspection system will exclude talented commoners and poor families, and becoming an official will become a plaything of aristocratic families.

Through this, the aristocratic family briefly controlled the appointment and removal of officials, which was equivalent to controlling the land and public opinion.

The so-called gate valve is formed on this basis.

This is true of the Han Dynasty in China, and it is also true of the Great Chu of this world.

Zhao Yu was not unaware of the shortcomings of the inspection system, but he had to do this in order to win over the local government.

Reforming the inspection and examination system and the imperial examination system, and implementing the imperial examination system, are not what he needs to consider now that he is weak. It will not be too late when he becomes full-fledged and fully controls the power in the DPRK.

After hearing Zhao Yu's words, the eyes of all the ministers in the court suddenly softened when they looked at Zhao Yu. Even the Queen Mother's party, the hostility in their eyes also weakened a lot.

Knowing that you can't eat alone, there are benefits to share with everyone, this is a good emperor!
"Your Majesty Shengming!"

A chorus of praises and virtues resounded in the Tai Chi Hall.

"Since all the lovers have no objection, then I will issue an edict. However, in the selection of officials this time, officials are not allowed to be elected. In addition, I will personally assess. If the results of the assessment are not satisfactory, then don't blame me for issuing an edict to reprimand I recommend the Lord."

At the end, Zhao Yu's tone carried a trace of joke in it.

This is His Majesty going to end in person, to show favor to these selected officials...

Everyone came to their senses one after another, but thinking that Zhao Yu had already shared the cake with everyone, they acquiesced to Zhao Yu's last request.

Flower sedan chairs carry people.

His Majesty gave us face, we courtiers should also be considerate of His Majesty, right?
Seeing the ministers acquiescing to this matter, behind the crown made of pearls and jade, Zhao Yu curled up into a smile.

This result was not what he expected.

The ancients once said that if you want to take something, you must give it first.

If you want others to do things for you, you have to feed them first, no, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

You see, he gave them the right to elect officials, so didn't they acquiesce in their own extra demands?

And in the end, it is not the emperor who has the final say as to who should be used and who should not be used.

After talking about the selection of officials, Zhao Yu finally talked about the most important purpose of this grand meeting.

"When I was still a young prince, I was traveling with my deceased parents and were assassinated by thieves. My parents were both killed. My life was also hanging by a thread and I almost died. Fortunately, a warrior named Zhang Youwei came to save me from the fire. Otherwise, I would have been in danger. , How can I have today? I will reward you generously for this meritorious service in rescuing him, so as to show his merit."

Having said this, Zhao Yu's eyes passed through Mian Qi and looked at the ministers below.

"What do you think?"

…………

In the early morning, the sky was just slightly bright.

Zhang Xiu and Wang Pu left the hotel, came to the gate of the Imperial City Palace, and then walked cautiously into the imperial city under the guidance of a servant.

"You two, wait here."

The servant led the two of them to a side hall next to the Tai Chi Hall, and whispered to them.

"Thank you, my father-in-law, for your trouble. Mr. Wang and I are so careful, it's not a respect."

Zhang Xiu nodded, took out an ingot of silver from his sleeve, and quietly stuffed it into the opponent's hand.

Gently squeezed the silver taels without any trace, the servant's eyes showed joy, and with a flip of his wrist, the ingot was hidden somewhere by him.

"Look at the villain's memory, I almost forgot about it, Gao Diaopang asked the villain to tell the two adults, don't worry, just wait for the order from the palace."

After finishing speaking, the servant bowed his hands to the two and left on his own.

Both mink and pendant were ornaments worn by eunuchs in the palace.Mink, that is, the crown is decorated with a mink tail, and the pendant refers to the metal object of the crown.Therefore, the word "Diao Dang" is often used to refer to eunuchs in the palace.

What a greedy eunuch, if you don't honor your silver, how dare you forget it!

Looking at the servant's back, Wang Pu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Sir, calm down, I don't deserve to be angry with this kind of eunuch. That ingot of silver should be fed to the dogs."

Zhang Xiu hurriedly spoke to persuade Wang Pu to calm down.

This Mr. Wang is very powerful, he saw it with his own eyes in An Guohou's mansion, the gentleman became angry, and even the young master at that time had to avoid it.

After a while, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Xiu heard the voice coming from the Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty ordered that the person surnamed Zhang Xiu be admitted to the Tai Chi Hall!"

"Just me?"

Zhang Xiu blinked and blinked, but didn't react for a while.

Where is Mr. Wenbo?
"Youwei, hurry up and enter the palace, don't make His Majesty wait too long."

Wang Pu reminded from the side.

"But sir..."

"Don't worry about me. His Majesty has arrangements over there. You should enter the palace quickly."

Under Wang Pu's urging, Zhang Xiu just stepped into the Tai Chi Hall.

Standing at the gate of the palace, looking at the figure on the steps, Zhang Xiu could only feel his heart churning endlessly, subconsciously bowed down, and kowtowed:
"Chen Zhangxiu, pay homage to Your Majesty! Long live, long live, long live!"
