The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 71: Sir, what you said makes perfect sense.
Fan Chunli didn't use any manuscripts, just kept talking, kept talking, kept talking.

"Since the founding of the country by Taizu, Zhenzong has not selected talents according to the order and seniority in the court. If this is the case, the talents will be buried..."

Fan Chunli spoke for half an hour in one breath.

Zhao Ji felt that this person was a good official and talented.

Because except for Liang Xin, he has never seen anyone who can talk for nearly an hour without reading the manuscript.

After listening, Zhao Ji glanced at the main entrance of the hall. The little eunuch on the left picked up the fly whisk and immediately said: "Sir, what you said is very reasonable."

Fan Chunli also breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Official Shengming!"

This time, he was risking his life.

Because Empress Dowager Xiang favored the lineage of the old method, the current incident occurred. This incident cannot be blamed on Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji only did one thing, which was to push Hehuang to use troops.

In Fan Chunli's opinion, this matter is correct.

But what he just said was secretly blaming the recently deceased Empress Dowager Xiang. This was really life-threatening advice.

At this time, another person came out.

"The minister also has something to say."

Chen Cisheng, the imperial censor.

"I believe that the appointment and dismissal of admonishing officials should be approved by the officials in person, without being drafted by the three provinces."

"nonsense."

Zeng Bu jumped out on the spot.

Advising Taiwan is not an ordinary position. He was still writing a list at home last night, planning to arrange for some people to be appointed as officials in Taiwan.

Now, what does Chen Cisheng mean?

The government directly manages the government, bypassing the three provinces.

Then the three provinces will no longer have the right to appoint personnel to advise Taiwan.

"The official family, I think, since Taizu founded the country..." Zeng Bu certainly had his own theory.

Take Song Taizu as an example. This is a rule set by the ancestors, and it can be changed at will.

Got into a fight.

Chen Cisheng's idea is very simple. No matter how much trouble you have, the new method and the old method, don't keep sending people to the stage to admonish, and then start biting each other.

Taiwan's remonstrance is not a tool for your internal fighting.

Zhao Ji couldn't decide.

Looking up, on both sides of the main entrance of the hall, two young eunuchs picked up the whisk at the same time.

Zhao Ji immediately said: "After the dispersion of the dynasty, I will give a banquet to the three ministers' families, and then discuss matters in the study."

"Chen, lead the edict."

All the officials who were arguing stopped immediately when they heard what Zhao Ji said.

The emperor intends to have a small-scale discussion. Anyone who continues to argue is disrespectful to the emperor.

Next, big things and small things.

Zhao Ji saw that the little eunuch holding a fly whisk at the door was already very skilled.

Who suffers?

Liang Xin.

You have to listen attentively, and he can't tell whether many things are right or wrong.

Important matters in the DPRK are not limited to playing games and using the SL method.

Sometimes, a small mistake can affect the livelihood of tens of thousands of people.

Head hurts again.

Liang Xin's heart: Zhao Ji...MMP.

It's time for lunch.

Liang Xin put a piece of ice on her head to make her swollen head feel better.

If she had any insights, Liang Xin could only say that the profession of emperor is really not something ordinary people can do.

Zhao Ji, no.Because Zhao Ji was not raised by the imperial family of the Song Dynasty according to the standards of the emperor since he was born.

Liang Xin and Zhao Ji had lunch together.

Zhao Ji asked: "How about the afternoon?"

Liang Xin said: "Listen more, speak less, or don't speak. I have thought carefully about it just now. This time Fan Chunli is right and for your own good. He can hold on because his father is Fan Zhongyan. Also …”

Zhao Ji interrupted Liang Xin: "Shengjun, you told me about Shengjun."

"Ah, ah." Liang Xin nodded repeatedly: "In the memorial, there is a story about the Right Secretary... No, the Zuo Secretary admonished Jiang Gongwang. I will pick it out later. Give this to Fan Chunli and tell him so that he can read it. Look. Don’t say any more. Let him read it, which means that you support this memorial in your heart."

"Yeah, yeah." Zhao Ji nodded repeatedly.

Liang Xin continued to teach: "Next, after he has finished arguing, you can express your support for Fan Chunli, saying that I think the scholar Fan is polite, and then propose that the name of the reign of Chongzhen, just mention that Zhen means Zhenguan. Chastity."

"No, no, it's too much."

What else can Liang Xin do? Write a small note.

Put the small note in Zhao Ji's sleeve, Zhao Ji can see it when he raises his hand.

Soon, a small note was filled.

Next, Zhao Ji thinks that Fan Chunli is right, very right.Since he has already taken charge of the government, he suggested that Fan Chunli should inform the Kaifeng Mansion and let the court discuss the matter.

Then Fan Chunli's brother, Fan Chunren, was transferred back to Bianjing to take up a post.

Finally, I talked about the war in the northwest, and planned to send someone as an envoy to the Liao Kingdom to propose a list.

There are only so many, small pieces of paper are limited in size.

Zhao Ji read it several times. A young eunuch came in and sewed a small piece of paper on the inside of his sleeve. After practicing it several times, he added a backup plan.

I still sent two young eunuchs to stand at the door of the study.

If something unexpected happens, Liang Xin is responsible for making the decision, and the little eunuch is responsible for signaling.

After eating, Liang Xin felt sleepy.

But there was nothing he could do, he had to hide in Zhao Ji's study.

A young eunuch came over, carried several high bookshelves, hung up curtains, and Liang Xin hid behind them.

A young eunuch was also arranged to accompany him.

If someone is found behind the bookshelf, the little eunuch comes out to take the blame. He simply finds a reason and accidentally falls asleep while arranging the bookshelf for the official's family or something.

Just pull him out and pretend to be making a plan.

In the afternoon, Zeng Bu, Fan Chunli and Chen Cisheng arrived.

As soon as he entered the room, Zeng Bu saluted Zhao Ji: "Official, please demote Chen Cisheng. He is at fault."

Zhao Ji glanced at the door. The two young eunuchs were standing there motionless. He knew that they were just ignoring them and keeping silent.

Sure enough, Fan Chunli responded directly: "What is Cisheng's crime? His suggestion was only to prevent powerful officials from appointing cronies, and also to prevent powerful officials from using the platform to admonish and eliminate those who were unwilling to rely on them." After saying this, Fan Chunli took a step forward. : "I ask the officials to make a decision."

Snapped.

Inside the main entrance of the study, the little eunuch on the left held Fuchen in his arms.

Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair and said slowly: "I think Fan Qing's words are reasonable."

"Guan family!" Zeng Bu wanted to say more.

Chen Cisheng responded directly: "Could it be that Mr. Zeng has something to hide?"

Zeng Bu choked heavily.

But can't refute.

Zhao Ji raised his hand and glanced at the small note on the inside of his sleeve: "Since I am personally in charge, I can no longer serve as Kaifeng Mu. No one in the court today mentioned such a major event."

After such a lesson, the three people immediately apologized.

That's right, no one even mentioned such a big thing in the meeting today.

Zhao Ji said in his heart that Liang Xin was still careful.

If you also serve as Kaifeng Mu, you will truly violate the ancestral system and you will have a bad reputation.

What's even happier is that Zhao Ji feels that he has taken advantage of the situation and trained his ministers. This feels really good.

While the three of them were bowing their heads to plead guilty, Zhao Ji noticed Liang Xin sticking his head out from behind the bookshelf, stretched out his sleeves, and immediately lowered his head to look at his own sleeves, and continued: "Fan Qing, I know if there is anything suitable in Kaifeng Mansion. If there is no candidate, you will take up this position."
