As like as two peas of the imperial court, the memorial ceremony was sent to the counties and counties in the next few days.

The original work was very smooth. In one night, more than half of all the candidates came to take leave by accident. Among them, there were children and students from all major families, and some young people from small clans. Except Qian Li and others who were close to them and trained by themselves, most of them voluntarily withdrew from the list Go out.

"Your Majesty, except Jizhou, Qingzhou and Youzhou, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Zhangye counties of Liangzhou, Shuofang, Wuyuan and Yunzhong counties of Bingzhou, Bohai and Hejian counties of Jizhou, and Yanzhou Prefecture of Jizhou, the list of candidates from other places has been submitted. The situation is very consistent. Most of the people selected automatically withdraw. Now, the most of the candidates in one county are not If there are more than five people, at least there are more than one county, not even one. "

Xun Yu's face was very dignified. With his intelligence, how could he not see the hidden problems?

Cui Jun came forward and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that it must be those small court meetings that forced his majesty to put general Dameng to death. All the ministers knew that his Majesty was determined, so they put pressure on families all over the country to interfere with the imperial court's plan to recommend talents and try to make his majesty bow down."

Liu He also thought of this section: "I think so. It seems that these guys really don't remember a lesson. What happened to Chen Ji and others just a few years ago? Well, am I the king who is under duress

He did not care, but Xun's face did not relax.

"But it is a matter of great importance for the country to examine and select talents every year, even when the world was stable in the past years. Now the world is in chaos. On the one hand, the wise men are the people that all the princes must contend for. On the other hand, the court also needs many wise men to guard the four sides, govern the city and replace the emperor and herdsmen. For a few years, the officials and local officials in the imperial court have been vacant for at least 30% and more than half of them. Only by your Majesty's wisdom can we stabilize the current situation and make the government order smooth. However, this is not a long-term plan. If the road of recommendation is blocked, the court will be in chaos for a long time. "

Liu he did not agree with this: "so what? Do you want me to bow to them and admit defeat? I will kill them all sooner or later. At that time, the world may be determined, and the whole world will still be able to calm down. "

"Your Majesty must not!"

Now Xun Yu and other three people were very frightened and opposed in unison.

Liu He's eyes suddenly became sharp and incomparable. He looked at the three people and made them shiver.

"What? When have you three been one with them

Xunzi's body shook and knelt down at the same time.

"Your Majesty, your majesty, I will always be in the same mind with your majesty, and will not dare to have half of the rebellious intention."

Liu He looked at them and suddenly laughed: "ha ha I will not believe you if you are all right? In addition to Yun Chang and other people, the three are the closest to me. If I don't believe you, won't I slap myself in the face? "

The three of them got up, but a cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

"Tell me why."

Liu He fiddled with several bamboo slips and three paper books on the imperial case. His tone seemed casual, but the three did not dare to neglect them.

Xunzi took the initiative to say: "reply to your majesty, ninety-nine percent of the scholars in the world, especially those in the States and counties under his Majesty's actual control, are inextricably linked with these families. Some of them are the children of his family, the old officials, or the apprentices. At the beginning, Chen Ji and others rebelled openly and committed a serious crime of plotting against them. Their crimes were so obvious that it was hard for heaven to tolerate them. Naturally, no one could say no to them. However, today's Da Si Nong and others have different political views, even if they have some selfish intentions, they will not be punished. "

"If your majesty makes a crime against them, it will lead to turbulent feelings among the people of the imperial court and his majesty. In the near future, it is not conducive to the stability of the court, and in the long run, it will damage your Majesty's reputation. Therefore, I think that we can only take advantage of this and not force it. "

Liu He pretended to read a book with his head down: "how to be wise?"

Xunzi said: "the three ministers are also the children of today's big family. They know that most of the people in the family take official posts as officials and are proud of their officials. The elders of the family also encourage the younger generation. The only way for the yuan, Yang, Wang and Feng families to maintain a prominent family reputation is to have more family members as officials in the imperial court. The higher and heavier the official position, the more prosperous the natural family. There is no other way. "

Liu He also thought: "well, I have a deep feeling about this. General He Jin was just a butcher at that time. However, as soon as the two brothers and sisters entered the palace, the family became the first one in Nanyang. When he Jin died, he family was bullied. In less than half a year, his family was deserted, his brothers were separated, and his wife and children were separated."

"Your Majesty, it is."

Xunzi continued: "most of the talents recommended by the Chaju system are the children and students of various families, and the children of ordinary farmers and merchants. Unless they are gifted and can be instructed by famous teachers and accepted as disciples, they are almost impossible to be recommended. For this reason, the system of examination and examination is just right for the aristocratic family. The more people the family is recommended, the better. I wish that hundreds of talented people would come out of their own family every year. How could there be any reason why the family would not want to be an official and ask all their children to resign? ""Well..." Liu He slightly nodded: "if the text says, I have some understanding, continue to say it."

"Yes." Xunzi smashed his mouth. Liu he saw the appearance and joked: "if there are many words in Wen, this tongue must be tired, so protest? Come on, drink a glass of water and say it no later. "

"Thank you very much."

Xunzi took over the water cup Liu He handed over with both hands. After drinking a cup of warm water, he felt very comfortable in his throat.

"In summary, the minister concluded that the ministers have pushed down the list of talents this year, but only to gamble on the gas of a moment and to pressure your majesty. The purpose, on the surface, is to make general Da Meng be punished with extreme punishment. In fact, it is to suppress those who have no family dependence on his majesty. In this way, their own disciples will gradually occupy all the important positions in the imperial court and the army, so as to shine on the lintel and show the prestige of the family. "

"I naturally understand their intentions and plans, and that's why I can't give up half a step in this matter."

Liu He is extremely determined.

The situation of the court is very clear. The majority of the ministers in the court, except Qian Li, Huoqing, mengjian and Shitao, are from the famous families. They don't have to rely on their own great Han Emperor, and rely on their own reputation and status, which is enough to stand in the court and even step by step.

But many generals in the army, on the contrary, have almost few big ethnic origins, all of them have been trained from wolf tune county all the way. They are loyal to themselves from the beginning to the end, and there is no family background to rely on or rely on.

And this, on the contrary, made those family taboos.

In the past, 90% of the officials in the whole world were related to them, whether they were their own younger generation or their students. They climbed high, which was also very beneficial to these families. That is why they ensured that many large and small families have been thriving from the early Eastern Han Dynasty to the present, and they have been lasting.

Once more and more officials in the official field have no such connection with them, it means their power and prestige will be greatly affected.

In recent years, Liu He has been too dependent on Guanyu, Qian Li, xunxi and others. Guan Yu and other commanders are heavy soldiers, Cui Jun and Erxun, who have planned to plan and take charge of the imperial court. For a while, even if Qian Li is less than 30 years old, he has become the official who has a rank of 2000 stone in the capital, and is only half inferior to the nine Qing ranking with high weight.

In addition, after taking over Jizhou, Liangzhou and the new Yunhai County, Liu he used the local officers mainly to his own people. Xunxi, cuijun, Zhaojing, Huoqing, etc. are the county chief guards in strategic places.

Even those who were small generals in the military or a county captain in a local area a few years ago, such as Wu Qin and Duxian, are at least one county commander. They are under 40 years old. It is also a matter of course that they will make contributions and take charge of the power of a county in the future.

How can these families sit down as the situation grows stronger?

And not to mention them, Cui lie is still in the heart. So even if he looks like the holy family is growing, he gradually retreats behind the scenes in the pilgrimage. When Liu He conflicts with his family, he does not respond as actively as before, that is, once the family is weak and his two sons are 100 years later, Cui will inevitably fall into a decline.

Liu He knows all these things clearly. It is just that the war is urgent and the military affairs are busy. In addition, the family has not made any unusual actions, so he is also lazy to manage it. Now that they have taken the initiative to attack, they certainly have no need to bear it.

Xunzi's words are in Liu He's lower arms.

He asked, "what should I do to deal with it according to the text?"

Xunzi said: "the minister thought that his Majesty's best way to deal with it was to not deal with it."

Liu he had a bright eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time, and smacked the meaning of his words.

"No response No response If the meaning of Wen Ruo is With static braking? "

"Your Majesty is wise, and that is what my officials mean. His majesty neither rebukes nor punishes them for what they do. The more he thinks his majesty has concerns and even compromise, the more reckless they are, and when it comes to a certain time, they will bring all the pressure up to the court, and then bring the case of general Da Meng again. How can we do so without fault or omission? Once you have a handle in your Majesty's hand, it is natural that the situation is under your Majesty's control. "

Liu He listened to the eyes more and more bright
