Chapter 966
When he walked out of the palace, Zheng Yi seemed a little tired. He had been talking all day, his mouth was dry and his head was a little dizzy. Zhuge Liang also followed him and walked out with him. Although he looked down on all the officials in the temple, he also respected Zhuge Liang very much. He felt that the only capable minister in the world was Zhuge Linggong who was beside him, so he followed Zhuge Liang carefully.

"Hahaha, Zheng Jun, I still want to thank you." Zhuge Liang said, Zheng Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "Why?", "Because you helped me solve the biggest worry in my heart. ", Zhuge Liang sighed, and said: "The big man is indeed getting stronger and stronger, but, for some reason, the stronger he is, the faster the old customs will disappear."

"I used to inspect the countryside before. At that time, when I stayed at the homes of the people in the countryside, they would do their best to entertain them and give them money the next day. They would be very angry and think it was an insult to them. I saw an old man from a poor family who threw the money bag on my head in a daze, but what about now? I was patrolling the local area a month ago, and I entered a few houses and wanted to stay overnight. They just asked if I could How much do you pay"

"Maybe it's just that there is too much money. Nowadays people only have money in their eyes. I heard that when people marry their daughters, they always choose a rich family, and they don't marry unless they are rich. What do you mean? , if Emperor Xiaokang sees the big man today, I don’t know whether he will be happy or disappointed.” Zhuge Liang said, looking up at the starry sky, he said: “Sometimes I am also at a loss.”

"For decades, what have I done? My hard work seems to have made the big man worse. It was not until today, after listening to Zheng Jun's words, that I found the answer. You are right, it is indeed true now. In a different prosperous age, the common people not only need clothes and food, but also other things, educated with culture and rituals, I have thought of some solutions in this area in the past, but I have not been able to come up with solutions like Zheng Jun come out in such a mature way.”

"It seems that I am far inferior to Zheng Jun." Zhuge Liang said with emotion.

Zheng Yi shook his head hastily, and said, "I dare not be praised by Duke Ling like this. You are a rare and capable minister of a great man, and I am far inferior." Zheng Yi was a little panicked, but Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard this, and said : "Your Excellency, don't be humble. In my opinion, in the year of heaven, there were two ministers, one of whom was far better than me. They were the princes who passed away. He integrated the officialdom. This matter is very important, far more than My achievements over the past few decades."

"The same is true of Your Excellency's achievement this time. It is very important to the big man. If Your Excellency needs any help, just words are enough." Zhuge Liang said, Zheng Yicheng bid farewell to Zhuge Liang in fear, and returned to his mansion , Actually, there is one more thing, Zheng Yi never said to Zhuge Liang, nor to anyone, that what he wanted to set up rituals for the official school was his re-interpretation of rituals.

This is the most important thing, Zheng Yi did not dare to carry it out blatantly, otherwise, he would definitely be opposed by everyone, and if he put on a skin for this new ceremony, in the name of enlightenment, it can be spread smoothly. Up to now, people who can set up rituals are incredible. Confucius did not dare to do so. Zheng Yi naturally needs to proceed carefully. These people will not understand that the soul of today's prosperous age can no longer be cast with the rituals of the predecessors. .

Zheng Yi also began to think of his own, and Pang Tong also began to prepare what Zheng Yi said, about the establishment of the Cultural Palace, and even the selection of personnel. It was his imagination, and his understanding of these decrees was much deeper than that of anyone else. Zheng Yi finally got the power to enforce it. He immediately began to discuss the review system and reward system for books.

Zhuge Liang was never idle, and led people to fill many vacancies again. Ma Liang was appointed as an official student servant to fill the vacancy left after Wang Lang's death. Very good, therefore, his promotion quickly passed the review of the official government, and he became a new generation of servant of the official school. However, Wang Lang, the servant, has too much influence on the official school. He wants to completely control the official school and implement decisions. , I'm afraid it will take some time.

In addition to this, there is another vacancy, which is the newly established servant of the Cultural Palace.

When Sun Quan mentioned the officials who could be promoted, Zhuge Liang was stunned.

"Yuan Yao, the prefect of Xia County, during his term of office, his political achievements were very outstanding, and he was the best in all aspects. He can serve as a servant of the Cultural Palace, not to mention that he is still young and has not lost his desire to expand. As a servant of the Cultural Palace Shooting requires dealing with aristocratic families from all over the world, as well as famous scholars and great Confucian scholars, Yuan Yao is the eldest son of Yuan Zi, and the eldest son of the Yuan family, so he can take up this position."

These are Sun Quan's original words. Zhuge Liang seemed a little hesitant. He knows how much his disciples are capable of. If he was so eager to return to the temple, it would be better if he could spend some time in the local area. However, although Zhuge Liang thought so, the others did not.

Everyone knows this guy. When he just arrived outside the Great Wall, there were only 4 people outside the Great Wall. After these days of governance, there are now more than 30 people in Xia County outside the Great Wall. Most of them were former slaves. After being released, Yuan Yao brought people around to cultivate, cultivate, raise animals, and mine. The development speed of a Xia County is no slower than those in Youzhou. Now Xia County is also known as the "Sir outside the Great Wall". !

This young man is really good, he can take this position.

In Shizhongtai, even Pang Tong could not suppress the officials, and the others agreed, even if Zhuge Liang objected in his heart, it was useless. During the discussion, Yuan Yao became the servant of the Cultural Palace.

Of course, during this period, Liu Yi came to visit Liu Qu again, and he said the same thing. He hoped that Zhong Changtong could leave the temple and Luoyang. Liu Qu, who had already forgotten about Zhong Changtong, thought of holding the court meeting as soon as possible. It's an excellent shot.

Liu Qu sent someone to bring Zhong Changtong to the Tai Palace, and he drank tea by himself, thinking while waiting.

Zhong Changtong is different from others, at least others are recorded in the heavenly book, and Zhong Changtong does not seem to appear in the heavenly book, so Liu Qu is not sure what kind of person this person is, but he His name did not even appear in the Heavenly Book, so it can be seen that this person is by no means a genius like Zhuge Linggong. However, Pang Tong, who is also a great talent, and even Zhuge Liang and others, praised this person quite a lot. This man has geniuses.

Therefore, Liu Qu decided to meet this man in person to see what kind of person he was.

As early as when the Huangmen came to Zhong Changtong's mansion, Zhong Changtong began to prepare for the words later. He never thought that the emperor had delayed for so long before he came to see him, and it was so difficult to see the emperor. For a temple servant, this is really a shameful thing. Zhong Changtong drove to the palace with a calm expression on his face. Just when he arrived at the palace, he saw Zheng Yi leaving from the gate. come out.

"Oh? Zheng Jun? I didn't expect that Zheng Jun also became the minister of Zhongtai?" Zhong Changtong asked with a smile. Zheng Yi was taken aback. He didn't have a good impression of Zhong Changtong. About to leave, he suddenly thought of something, walked up to him, and asked: "How many people in the big man can read?" Zhong Changtong replied without thinking: "There are more than 1000 million people in the co-author. Literate, however, some can read more, some can read less, it is difficult to make a complete statistics."

"Well, very good, come to my place later!" Zheng Yi said, then turned and left.

Zhong Chang looked at him with a confused face, looked at the Huangmen beside him, and asked, "Is Zhuge Linggong dead?"

Huang Men's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhong Chang, don't talk nonsense!! Shang Shuling is still fine."

"That's Lord Pang Ling or..."

"They're all in good health."

"Then why does this guy look like he's a Sanling, and you want me to go to him?" Zhong Changtong asked suspiciously, Huangmen couldn't tell, Zhong Changtong also asked again, in Huangmen Under the leadership of the leader, he entered the palace, subconsciously walked a few steps towards the Hall of Houde, but stopped again, and rushed to the Hall of Tai. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the burly emperor, Liu Qu was sitting Not far away, drinking tea, looking at this long-famous minister.

"Chen Zhong Changtong, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Zhong Changtong bowed himself.

"Well, let's get up." Liu Qu waved his hand, Zhong Changtong just got up, Liu Qu let him sit beside him again, and said with a smile: "I have heard of Zhong Changjun's name for a long time, I am too busy, usually I don’t even have a chance to meet you in private, it’s rare today.” Zhong Changtong hastily said he didn’t dare, seeing that he was still respectful and not as arrogant as the rumors said, which made Liu Qu treat him more Good impression.

Unlike his father and grandfather, Liu Qu didn't like small talk, so he asked directly, "I heard that your Excellency had some conflicts with Zhong Shuling?"

In fact, Liu Qu called Yuan Shang long ago and asked about the conflict between the two of them. However, he only knew that Zhong Changtong had visited Liu Yi, but he didn't know what he said to Liu Yi, which caused his uncle to speak to him. so angry.

"Your Majesty, I'm just a little servant, how dare I have any displeasure with Sanling? I and Zhongshuling are as close as close friends, very close."

"Hahaha, that's true. Uncle loves you so much, he wants to bury you with his own hands!"
