Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: 888 on-site office

After Su Yan and a few others were temporarily taken away, Li Hong not only brought Li Qiao from Yushitai, but also six Shangshu as well as Zhongshu, Sect, and the left and right servants of Shangshusheng. .

In addition to the Five Supervisors of the Nine Temples of the Tang Dynasty, and the deputies of the three provinces and six departments, Li Hong sent over half of the officials who were eligible to go to court when Su Gui and Di Renjie were confused.

No one knows what Li Hong is doing so, but with the arrival of other people in the Six Departments and Three Provinces, Li Hong also moved from the front hall of the Jingzhao Mansion with gentle and other people and ministers. In a larger chamber of Jingzhao Mansion.

Following the officials from the three provinces and six ministries, they followed Di Renjie, Li Qiao, and Su Gui with a look of mutual exploration. Under Li Hong's gesture, they sat down around the table in anxiety.

Just as soon as he took his seat, Su Gui stood up and saluted with trepidation: "Your Majesty, the minister deserves ten thousand deaths. The minister knows that he can't blame the court for such an attack on the court, and he asks your Majesty to punish him."

"Punished? What crime? Put him to attack the court and slander?" Li Hong glanced at the others, even Yushitai Li Qiao, with a solemn expression on his face.

The dozens of court officials present here have already got a clear picture of what happened to the Jing Zhaoyamen today on the way from the front hall to the meeting hall.

Whether it is the son of Su Gui, the son of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, or the son of Luoyang Chengdu's trial, it is indeed enough to criticize the court, talk nonsense, and confuse the people.

"Your Majesty...." Su Gui knelt on the ground, already knowing what happened today. His Majesty brought the six ministries and three provinces over with great fanfare, probably because he was afraid of falling into the world's tongue. .

In this way, naturally, his Majesty will not lay down and suppress the scholars of the world, and only support the reputation of Guozijian and Hongwenguan.

"Call in those four people." Li Hong ignored Su Gui, who was knelt on the ground, anxious, but said to Di Renjie again.

Looking back and looking at Shangguan Wan'er and Li Lingyue, Li Hong continued: "Today’s matter, you two can record in detail, the next issue of "Fang Jian Tian Xia", you can put the The things inside are published on the front page headlines."

Li Lingyue followed Shangguan Wan'er for a moment. Now, in the chamber of Jingzhao Mansion, the important ministers of three provinces and six ministries, as well as the two chief ministers of Dali Temple and Yushitai, are gathered. It stands to reason that whether they are both gentle and gentle, Or Bai Chun, shouldn't be qualified to stay here without avoiding it.

But Li Hong's words made the four women who followed into the chamber with the same uneasy mentality gradually calmed down.

Since your Majesty’s remarks have been made, even other courtiers, at this time, I am afraid that no one is willing to touch Li Hong’s mold again, admonishing that the imperial court should not participate in the harem, after all, today’s matter It's because your majesty's two imperial concubines rise up with your majesty's favorite princess.

So everyone also acquiesced to the fact that the two imperial concubines and Miss Bai, and the fact that Princess Taiping were in the chamber, they were all sitting in great danger, waiting for Li Hong to deal with today's conflict between Su Yan and the emperor.

But no matter what, even if those present here understand Li Hong’s courtiers, they have basically determined in their hearts at this moment that Yin Sugui, who can not afford to kneel on the ground, cannot come to Dali. Si Shaoqing and Luoyang Chengdu's trial, including their children, may be too bad for you to survive today.

In the end, it depends on whether your majesty will deal with it lightly or strictly.

Glanced at Su Gui who was kneeling on the ground, Li Hong did not say anything to ask him to get up again. Since you are willing to kneel, then you should continue to kneel and plead guilty. Besides, do you think you are guilty?

Rubbing the rim of the teacup, Li Hong said as if talking to himself: "I have experienced how many people say right and wrong since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. The year is strong and prosperous."

"If from the king to the common people, the opinions and opinions of others were regarded as the criterion of right and wrong, wouldn't my Datang have died 800 times earlier? Just because of a few words that attacked the court Just convict others, so that I will appear stingy, I am not confident in my heart. But let me or an official, sit down and talk to a few people who speak up and say nothing, and explain to them the various resolutions of the Tang Dynasty. Strategies, but do they have this qualification? I never do anything to get fame and reputation. Today, I made an exception to let the four of you come in and listen to me about the Tang Dynasty. It’s not because your father is my court minister, but because of this. The cause of the incident is related to the four of them. I cannot suppress you by force. Naturally, it is impossible to punish you for no reason. But it is related to the Tang royal family and the harem, and I cannot let the harem and the royal family be wronged for no reason. In this world, whether it is a commoner, a courtier, a celebrity, or a royal family member, I should have a bowl of water and integrity, and impartiality."

Li Hong looked at the four people who were escorted in by the jailer. At this time, they had been shackled and fettered. After a helpless sigh, Di Renjie immediately asked the jailer to open it to Su Yan, Du Bin, Du Xian and Cui Yongke. Shackles and shackles.

"Just stand, you are not qualified to sit down here." Li Hong glanced again at the four people who moved their hands and feet cautiously, and said lightly.

After hearing Li Hong's words again, Su Yan and the other four dared to look at the situation in the chamber after entering the door.

Especially Su Yan, when he looked around the dozens of people sitting around the chamber, but did not find his father's figure, Du He just next to him gently touched his sleeve and pointed with his eyes. Pointing to the back kneeling on the ground, he motioned Su Yan to look over there.

Seeing that the familiar figure was his father Su Gui, Su Yan and the other three people immediately took a breath. This...who is sitting in the main seat? How could he accept his father's kneeling petition so frankly, and make his father kneel down? !

Four young wealthy scholars, now look at the gentle women who are in conflict with them, their eyes and moments become extremely unnatural, as well as a look of shock and shock.

"Data never tell lies, officials, in the past few years, what percentage of the students trained by the Imperial College, Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan, and the Five Names and Seven Hopes are local officials?" Li Hong reached out and took over Bai Pure handed him the pen, looked down at the desk and asked.

The official secretary Yao Chong got up and immediately said: "My Majesty, since the first year of Hongdao until now, the proportion of the officials coordinated by the official department is that 70% of the students from the Imperial College, the Hongwenguan, and the Chongwenguan have been occupied. The remaining 40% are the sons of dignitaries or merchants. Those who come from five surnames and seven hopes or are recommended by celebrities are 30%, and they all belong to the clan of dignitaries or courtiers."

Yao Chong, the official official book, just finished speaking. The faces of Su Yan, Du Bing, Du Xian, and Cui Yongke instantly became inhumane, and big beads of sweat fell from their foreheads.

With a few puffs, the four of them softened their knees, and instantly they were behind Su Gui who had been kneeling on the ground. They knelt down, shaking their arms and trembling lips, but they did not dare to say even a word. .

The dozen or so people in the chamber seemed to have never seen those people kneeling tremblingly. They still listened carefully to the memorial written by Yao Chong, the official secretary of the bureau: Jiucheng holds local posts, but... less than 10% can be appointed to important posts by the Dao, State, and County from the beginning. They all started as clerks, and now nearly 40% have become county magistrates or masters. Waiting for the parents of a place. For all the students who came from a noble family or a courtier clan, whether they are officials after the imperial examination or recommended as officials, they have been appointed to local important positions from the very beginning. Seventy-seven percent are at the provincial and state levels, and less than 30% are officials at the county level."

"How about the distinction between freedom, poverty, and prosperity of Dao, State, and County?" Li Hong handed the pen in his hand to Shangguan Wan'er, and saw Shangguan Wan'er and Li Lingyue. At this time, while listening to the words of the official secretary, While working hard at the desk, writing and drawing.

"Back to your majesty, those who passed the Imperial Examinations such as the Imperial Examinations, ten percent were officials in poor villages or counties where roads were blocked, and ten percent were wealthy or dignitaries or courtiers and clan students~IndoMTL.com~ in Chang'an, Luoyang, and Huainan, Jiangnan, and Jiannan Dao are mostly officials. In each of the Protectorate, only low-ranking scholars are willing to take the initiative to go, and the other is... After the minister was perfected in the first two months, the analysis was: the wealthy of the Protectorate or The clan relatives of courtiers are officials and scholars. Tencheng is because there are clan relatives serving as officials in the Duhu Mansion. Because their official positions are large or small, their scholars are the officials who have been appointed to the official position."

"Background competition? Doesn't it look at ability?" Li Hong asked, looking up at Yao Chong lightly.

"...My Majesty, you can think so." Yao Chong nodded. Now he is just forty years old and is already the head of the six books. I have to say that Li Hong values ​​him. But more importantly, Yao Chong's own abilities are already sufficient for this task.

Li Hong quickly tapped the table with his index finger, and while signaling Yao Chong to sit down, he seemed to be thinking about something, but only Shangguan Wan'er and Li Lingyue understood that this was a record set by Li Hong for the two of them. time.

As the pens in the hands of the two women gradually slowed down, Li Hongcai asked Su Gui and Su Yan to stand up. Su Guihui sat in the middle of the courtiers, while the four Su Yan stood at the back. As if there was no sound, he bowed his head and listened to the senior officials of the Three Provinces and Six Departments, being asked one by one by His Majesty today.

"Heng Yanfan, Shangshu from the Ministry of Households, it's up to you." Li Hong pointed to Heng Yanfan, who was also a Shangshu less than forty years old, who followed Li Hong and established a great minister.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Heng Yanfan looks very dark and thin. If you don't know the identity of this person, most of them will think that he is just a farmer in the field, or a little official with no ambition.

Few people can associate him with Datang in charge of money and food through his simple appearance. People think that he should be a fat, fat, fat and oily household minister.
