Han Shizu

Chapter 1788
"Okay, enough nonsense, let's talk about something serious!" After killing a moth, Emperor Liu seemed to be in a happier mood, with a smile on his lips, he waved his hand and said to the officials.

The judge of Luoyang Mansion can be said to be No.1 below the governor. At least in the Luoyang Mansion system, the power is very heavy. It was shot from Zuo Pu, the Shangshu of the second rank.

But Emperor Liu killed a fourth-rank official in the palace, in his mouth, it was just an idle matter, as if he just killed a chicken.Of course, it was true, no, the monkeys in the Manchu Dynasty were all terrified.

Although Zheng Xu's crimes were not just extravagance, but Emperor Liu did not mention anything else, and dealt with him just because it was not fatal. own home.In the future, I have to keep restraining myself. Although the emperor is old, the knife in his hand is still sharp. The Tianzi Sword is really the most ruthless and sharpest sword in the world.

"The sun is already high, if there is anything, let's play it up!" Seeing that many people were a little out of control, Emperor Liu spoke again.

It was said that a minister stood up from the imperial court, Zhang Quhua, who was transferred from the Huguang envoy last year to the Minister of Rites.This spring ushered in the triennial exam again, and Zhang Quhua was the supervisor of the tribute examination, and Li Hang, a bachelor, served as the invigilator for the second time.

Zhang Quhua was also one of the famous ministers who emerged in the Kaibao era, and he was born as the No. 20 scholar. It was in Zhao Kuangyi's class that he overwhelmed the crowd and won the crown alone. More than [-] years have passed, and the old champion is still personable, and he has also completed his transformation from a bachelor to a bureaucrat.

"Report to Your Majesty! Under the watchful eyes of Emperor Liu, Zhang Quhua held the charter in his hand, and said respectfully: "The test papers have been reviewed for the current subject examination. According to the results, the ministers and others drafted a list of candidates. There are a total of 172 candidates, including 43 for the Jinshi subject There are 15 people from Mingjing, 29 from Mathematical Sciences, 31 from Law, 9 from History, 14 from Medicine, 18 from Agriculture, and 13 from Engineering. Your Majesty, please take a look! "

"Present!" Emperor Liu simply raised his hand.

Yan Tuo immediately tiptoed down, took the list from Zhang Quhua, and presented it to Emperor Liu respectfully.Emperor Liu opened it, although it was just for browsing, the movements were very slow, and he seemed a little slow.

One sentence made Zhang Quhua choke, but facing the increasingly eccentric Emperor Liu, he didn't dare to show any grievances and resentment, just bowed his hands and said nothing.

After a while, he put down the list and said softly: "I seem to have heard of this Kou Zhun. Before the exam started, he debated with others in the Yongding Tower. The debate was still about the disadvantages of the Western Expedition. He is young and vigorous."

It's not that Emperor Liu didn't pay much attention to martial arts, but after years of development, martial arts has finally become a thing for the military system to play by itself.The samurai for reference are basically middle and lower-level officers and outstanding soldiers in the army, or the nobles, generals’ children, and ordinary people. Basically, they don’t even have the opportunity to refer to them. The upper class of academic origin.

"Luoyang Mansion, immediately arrest these arrogant and ignorant Persians who committed crimes boldly, throw them into the prison camp, and let them go to worship in the mine of the big man!" Emperor Liu ordered.

"Exactly!" Lu Mengzheng replied.

"Yes!" Liu Yang replied.

"Yes!"

Some doubts, so many people, Emperor Liu only mentioned a mere Kou Zhun, could it be because of the Western Expedition?Last year, Wei Wang Liu Min led his army to defeat the army of the Black Khan, killed the Khan, almost destroyed his country, and recovered Suiye. Since the news came, the court has once again argued about the Western Expedition. The objection is that the cost of the expedition is too high and the income is too low. Even if a large amount of wealth is seized from the Black Khan, in terms of the cost of the Western Expedition, it cannot make up for the shortfall at all.

"Yes!" Lu Mengzheng replied.

"This subject, the evaluation of the imperial examination, will be handled by you, Zhang Qing and others, and I will not appoint it!" Emperor Liu ordered: "In the past, there have been rumors that the big man will take the top three evaluations, regardless of talent. Knowledge is only based on my perception and preferences. There are even sayings that the champion is not as good as Tanhua, this year, I will leave this matter to you and the ministers to jointly evaluate and recommend, and clarify the following statements!"

What is that for?It has to be said that under the oppression of Emperor Liu, his courtiers seemed to be suffering from suspicion, and they couldn't help thinking too much about things, and the pressure on Prince Liu Yang was the greatest.The influence of Empress Fu's death on the imperial court is subtly fermenting.

Guessing in his heart, Zhang Quhua introduced: "Your Majesty, Kou Zhun, styled Pingzhong, is a native of Xiayu, Huazhou. He is 24 years old. He has outstanding talents and is proficient in "Spring and Autumn". There are no omissions in the examination and approval of taxes and servitude.”

But it is the result of Emperor Liu's many years of hard work to be able to achieve what he is today. At least within the army, he gave those middle and lower-level officers and soldiers an upward channel. , at least there is still hope and opportunity, especially in the early days of the founding of the country, when Emperor Liu was still there, politics was still relatively clear, and the country's various systems were basically able to maintain a benign operation environment.

"The minister is here!" Liu Yang immediately went out to pay homage, with a serious face, so serious.

Emperor Liu looked at the list again, and suddenly said with a smile: "The results of the current department are good, and the number of people studying medicine, agriculture and engineering continues to rise compared with previous years. Civilian officials, technical officials such as doctors, farmers and workers are also needed. Otherwise, I don’t know farmers and workers, don’t value medicine and business, and are not good at arithmetic. I don’t think such officials can do good things and cure the people. Dahan still needs more people who can do things , An official who can do things!"

The heated discussions in the court also spread to the people. A group of scientific research scholars like Kou Zhun participated in it, and they were also divided into two factions. Although Kou Zhun was young, he was not as vigorous as others. He was a staunch and pragmatic opponent, who fought with others so red-faced that he almost made a move, and was even reported to Emperor Liu by the Imperial City Secretary as public opinion in the capital.

"Dissatisfied?" Emperor Liu's old eyebrows suddenly raised, and he became more energetic. He sneered and said, "Do the big man's policies need to consider the opinions of these people? It's just arrogant!"

Now that the broken leaves have been recovered and the West Pole has been restored, enough is enough.What's more, Anxi's greatest advantage to the great Han lies in the Silk Road, the land communication channel between the East and the West. If it is in a state of war for a long time, it will give up the greatest benefit and chase the end.
Among the remaining people, they basically held a conservative attitude. As for those who clearly expressed their support for continuing the western expedition, almost none, including those who were accustomed to listening to Emperor Liu's thoughts, were silent for a while.

This is determined by the particularity of the military system, and its strong limitations have also frustrated the idea of ​​developing both civil and military exercises. Compared with the more open and more opportunities for civil examinations, the development of military examinations has an upper limit after all.

"There is another matter?" Emperor Liu became a little interested when he heard the words, but he didn't know whether he was referring to the request of the Persian merchants or the policy of the Western Expeditionary Army in Anxi.

It can be heard that Zhang Quhua admires Kou Zhun very much and is very optimistic about it.However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Liu: "Did I ask you about Kou Zhun's life history?"

Lu Mengzheng replied: "The Persians who appealed are all Christians, and they are very dissatisfied with what the Western Expeditionary Army did in Anxi!"

"Your Majesty is holy!" Emperor Liu's cliché, the officials in the palace have long been used to, and they all complimented each other in unison.

Regarding this, Emperor Liu took a look at it in passing, and then instructed: "I have no opinion. Those who enter the martial arts examination will follow the rules and be dealt with by the Privy Council. The list will be announced together with the Liberal Arts Examination!"

"Your Majesty, in the past two days, many Persian businessmen have come to the government office to appeal and make demands, hoping that the imperial court can stop the policy of destroying temples and killing believers in Anxi by the Western Expeditionary Army." Lu Mengzheng, who was beaten by Emperor Liu just now, also stood up , to play a report.

Emperor Liu sighed, looked at Prince Liu Yang, and called out, "Prince!"

After retreating into the ranks, Liu Yang secretly pondered Emperor Liu's intentions. This is to see if he will take the opportunity to recruit talents and cultivate power?It doesn't look like it. He basically chooses people with a public heart. He has always hired people based on their merits. In the past, Emperor Liu also supported them.

"Your Majesty, the examination of the selection of candidates for the martial arts examination has also been completed, and 52 candidates are tentatively proposed. Please review them!" The newly appointed Privy Envoy Pan Mei also came forward to submit a report.

"I heard that there are some YSL believers in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and they have built some temples for them?" Emperor Liu mentioned another matter: "It seems that there is one in Luoyang City! It seems that Guangzhou also has one!"

"Demolished!" Emperor Liu said indifferently: "Promulgate the Daozhou of the world to ban YSL religion. All YSL temples and buildings in the territory will be demolished. All religious personnel will be arrested and driven away, and they are prohibited from preaching. Daohan, don't believe them Even Muhammad, who is not worthy, will tolerate such rampage!"

Originally, Emperor Liu hadn't thought of the ysl that was passed on during the exchange process between east and west, and a "parish" had even been formed in Guangzhou, which was originally dissatisfied by Emperor Liu.

Even Buddhism and Taoism have been concocted by him to be so low-browed and pleasing to the eye, not to mention that this hard-to-tame YSL just happened to bump into it this time. The request of the Persians not only did not stop Anxi's policy, but instead led to more severe and wider suppression in the Han Dynasty .

As soon as Emperor Liu opened his mouth, the matter was completely settled!
