The struggle for rebirth is in the harem

Chapter 312

The lack of successors is the weakness of every wealthy family. Although Liu Heng has a tough political style, they still try to resist and keep arguing with Liu Heng.

Even Liu Yan's father-in-law, Zhang Chong, a scholar of the Wenhuadian University, was one of the main voices of opposition.

Zhang Chong is also a descendant of the famous Zhang family, so he failed the official assessment this time, and his son was also among the officials who were dismissed.

Originally, Liu Yan didn't want to participate in this dispute, but because of the relationship between the Yue family, he received the favor of many aristocratic families, and wanted him to stand on the side of the aristocratic families and intercede with Liu Heng.

It turns out that Liu Yan's reputation has always been good, and he is tactful in dealing with the world, trying not to offend anyone.This time when it was time to choose a position, I hesitated for a long time.

In the end, in order to gain the support of the family, Liu Yan chose to take the risk, and openly addressed Liu Heng to the court, pleading for the family, and asked his father to withdraw the decree canceling the favor.

Liu Yan's choice also made Liu Heng infinitely disappointed.If the aristocratic family grows bigger, it will inevitably make the imperial power unstable. The family's sons are favored by high-ranking officials, and they also suppress other truly talented officials, reducing their chances of promotion. In the long run, it is not conducive to the development of the country and the long-term politics.

Liu Yan selectively turned a blind eye to these problems, and only cared about gaining the support of the aristocratic family in front of him and strengthening his own strength.

The issue of official administration has always been Liu Heng's heart disease, and he was very concerned about it when he was still the king of Huaiyang.How can he stop the things he has planned for many years because of the resistance of these conservative forces? No matter how much resistance there is, he will continue to strictly implement it.

Liu Yan, who was begging for mercy, was also reprimanded by Liu Heng.

Liu Heng insisted on his own opinion, which attracted several important officials who resisted most fiercely, including the old cabinet minister Li Xilai, who all knelt in the imperial study facing south and threatened to resign.

However, Liu Hengquan mercilessly gave him permission, and quickly promoted a few of his own people to join him. Lin Yucheng was also promoted to the cabinet by him, becoming the youngest cabinet elder since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Because of Liu Heng's tough and straightforward methods, the few people who threatened to resign were all dumbfounded, and they lost their wives and soldiers.Therefore, the others also judged the situation and shrank back. The original wave of opposition from the court also subsided for the time being.

And Lin Yucheng has been promoted at the speed of light in recent years, and he is deeply trusted and relied on by Liu Heng. While he is proud of his official career, he has also attracted the envy and dissatisfaction of many people.Rumors about him getting into the cabinet through the concubine's nepotism quickly spread among the people.

There are even folk sayings such as "the Lin family has a good daughter, and the family is born with brilliance" to allude to the imperial concubine's favor and Lin Yucheng's entry into the cabinet.

In order to show his love for talents and consolidate the newly formulated system of appointment and promotion of officials, after the fall, Liu Heng specially held a banquet in Taiqing Pool, called the "No. [-] Scholar Banquet", to entertain the No. As well as Jinshi and Tongjinshi who were on the final list.

Many officials were invited to the "No. [-] Scholar Banquet" in Taiqing Lake, as well as members of the clan, as well as the crown prince, second prince, and third prince.

Everyone at the banquet was having a good time drinking, especially this year's No. [-] scholar is also a young talent, and he is proud of his spring breeze and has attracted much attention.

After half of the drink, Liu Heng still took care of Mengmeng, who was participating in this kind of occasion for the first time, and asked him to come over and pour the wine.

Seeing Mengmeng being taken care of by Liu Heng, Liu Kang smiled at Liu Yan, "The third brother is very intelligent at a young age. I heard that the tutor in the study room is also full of praise. I didn't expect the second brother to be compared."
