The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 110 Follow-up

"So...an agreement was reached in the end?" Emperor Chengyuan handed Sheng Xiangxun's essay to Prince Jiang Huaiqian, and smiled lightly, "Look, aren't they all quite sensible? I thought they would take the opportunity to use Jiujiang Academy For the first time, completely separate the schoolwork of boys and girls."

Jiang Huaiqian was puzzled when he heard the contempt in his father's words: "Father...it seems a little too smooth."

Emperor Chengyuan snorted softly: "Prince, I ask you, how can the emperor and courtiers wrestle to win?"

Jiang Huaiqian thought for a while: "The art of balance is divided into divisions, giving glory to one party and allowing it to beat the other, reducing the strong to support the weak, and the repetition of rotation is under control."

Emperor Chengyuan nodded and smiled when he heard the words: "This emperor's art has been passed down for thousands of years. It has advantages and disadvantages. It must not be used, nor can it be fully used."

After Jiang Huaiqian was firmly seated as the crown prince, his father would teach him from time to time, so he listened very carefully at this moment.

He thinks he is good at strategizing, but the methods he has used in the past are rarely seen in the light, so he also wants to hear about his father's conspiracy.

Emperor Chengyuan used tea trays as sand trays, put the teapots and cups away, and said: "The court cannot be monopolized by one person. Only the king is obedient, and the government is easy to be absurd; the only minister is obedient, and the country is also shaken. Therefore, for the emperor, it is necessary to wait for the courtiers to discuss politics. When making judgments, one should not be arbitrarily arbitrarily arbitrarily good at everything; for the courtiers, it should be beneficial."

As he spoke, he pushed the teacups surrounding the teapot outward.

Jiang Huaiqian thought, how is this different from what he said before?
Probably seeing the prince's doubts, Emperor Chengyuan said with a smile: "Benefits should not only be given to individuals, but to the whole... Take the Ministry of Officials as an example. To be an official of the Ministry of Officials is to be integrated with the Ministry of Officials. Benefits are shared, and punishments are shared. Depending on whether you are a member of this faction or that faction, officials of all sizes are obstacles.”

Jiang Huaiqian's eyes lit up, and he had some ideas.

Emperor Chengyuan continued: "Officials should also look at their political achievements, public reputation, colleagues' opinions, former ministry evaluations, past position contributions, and personal qualities. These distributions are involved so that they do not rely on a certain minister."

Jiang Huaiqian listened to Emperor Chengyuan's words, nodded his head for a while, frowned for a while, and asked in a low voice after a while: "Father...if a minister is upright and honest but offends his colleagues, it is difficult to get a high civil service rating. How can this be explained?"

Emperor Chengyuan gave him a puzzled look: "The evaluation system is diverse, and non-colleagues are judged to be up or down. Because of honesty and uprightness, the colleagues are guilty, as well as the opinions of subordinates, the public's reputation, past contributions, and political achievements at that time. These have three points. In addition to the personal quality, it must be an improvement rather than a decline."

Jiang Huaiqian added: "What if the subordinates are bribed and their achievements are revised?"

This time, Emperor Chengyuan laughed out loud: "Prince, if all his subordinates were bribed in the past, how could he mobilize his subordinates and cooperate with his colleagues to achieve good results? Moreover, the achievements of the government can be changed, but the reputation of the people cannot be erased. Can't he be an official all the way, and others change his achievements and conceal his achievements all the way? If there is, there are really no good ministers and loyal generals in the court?"

Jiang Huaiqian was dumbfounded.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Chengyuan thought of the prince's criteria for appointing officials: "Prince, the imperial court employs people, of course, based on their quality; People, what can you do?"

He knew very well who the prince he personally selected was. When this kid was fighting for the throne, he used all his talents, and there were many treacherous and vicious counselors.Now that he is in a stable position, he wants to be a person with a bright future, wishing that his subordinates are all high-spirited, honest and selfless.

Emperor Chengyuan sighed secretly.

But now that he has been chosen to be the prince, he can only teach him as much as possible while he still has strength: "Ability is the most important thing! What's the use of being honest and upright without ability? Let the emperor and the court officials reward him." Lian can't do it?"

Jiang Huaiqian's heart skipped a beat, he felt that his father seemed to see through his intentions, and hurriedly lowered his eyes and said that he was missing something.

When he was like this, Emperor Chengyuan stopped continuing, and returned to the topic in a few words: "I will hand over the country to you, and I will keep the benefits of women's admission to the hearts of the people; when the benefits will bring practical benefits to most people." , the power of opposition will continue to decrease. When most officials and families benefit from this, then this will must be unstoppable."

When he said these words, a forbearable enthusiasm flashed in his eyes, and there seemed to be joy and memories in him.

"Father, if it is set that the parents and sisters in the family are all famous, and the rest of the younger siblings also study for reference, they can skip the children's examination, the treatment is the same as that of a scholar, and they can directly take the provincial examination...how about it?"

Jiang Huaiqian didn't react slowly. After making this suggestion, he immediately perfected the order in his mind.

Emperor Chengyuan smiled and nodded and clapped his hands: "The prince is good, the prince is good."

After finishing speaking, he saw that it was getting late, so he asked Jiang Huaiqian to continue reading the memorial, while he took Yang Xun for a walk in the garden.

"If my son is still here..." Walking to the spacious and empty place, Emperor Chengyuan lowered his eyes, no longer concealing the loneliness in his eyes, "The country is still there, and the covenant is hard to find."

Yang Xun lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound, letting the emperor hold the railing in a daze.

After a while, he walked over and comforted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's not good to stay outside in the heat, the dragon's body is important."

Emperor Chengyuan came back from his memories softly called, blinked his eyes unconsciously for a moment, and then remembered where he was: "Well, let's go back!"

The huge imperial city is his sad place, but he spent most of his time living in this sad place, which is also ridiculous.

"Recently, I often feel sad and recall the old days, and I don't know how long I can teach the prince." Emperor Chengyuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a little worried.

Yang Xun hurriedly followed: "The emperor is in good health, and he will surely live forever."

His words amused Emperor Chengyuan: "Long live the emperor? Even a three-year-old child may not be able to believe this statement, and you still want me to use it to deceive myself?"

Even though he said this, his depressed mood finally eased, and Emperor Chengyuan smiled and waved to Yang Xun: "Go, go rowing with Zhenhou Lake!"

As for the half-person tall memorabilia... just save it to train the prince!
When the prince Jiang Huaiqian returned to the mansion, he was so tired that he could hardly keep his eyes open.

He walked in while rubbing his wrists, and as soon as he entered the second gate, he saw An Yu walking out with Cheng Dong on his fat legs.

"Brother Yu, where are you going?" Jiang Huaiqian glanced at the big bamboo basket behind Chengdong, a little curious.

"Uncle Prince!" An Yu saluted, then ran over, raised her head, proudly puffed out her small chest, and said, "I'll ask Chengdong to give Sister Yuan a present!"

"Oh? A gift?" Jiang Huaiqian was very curious. He didn't remember that the craftsmen in the mansion studied toys.
