I'm so hard

Chapter 35 Emotional Intelligence Too Low
The biggest feature of Yushitai officials is eloquence.

Judging from the conversation just now, Shangguan Buyue is undoubtedly the best among them.

Zhao Yan thought for a while and said: "I have always advocated the selection of talents without sticking to one pattern. Since Shangguan is not happy to recommend himself as Doctor Yushi, I will ask three questions and let him compare with Chen Chong. Who can answer the question?" Even better, whoever can be the imperial censor, how about it?"

"I think this method is feasible!" Xiao Jingye said first.

"Second minister!" The ministers below replied at the same time.

They were even more curious about what kind of questions Zhao Yan would ask.

Immediately, Shangguan Buyue and Chen Zhong stood in the center of the hall at the same time.

Zhao Yan thought for a while, and said, "First question: If I didn't accept your advice, but you think you are thinking about the people's livelihood, would you choose to die?"

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, remonstrance to the death was almost a fine tradition in the civil service group.

There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved by remonstrance. If there is, then remonstrate twice.

Except for the time when Zhao Yan beheaded Cui Wanshan, the county magistrate of Jicheng years ago, dead remonstrance is a good way to accept remonstrance from officials.

"Chen Zhong, you answer first." Zhao Yan asked with a smile.

Chen Chong thought for a while, and replied: "Your Majesty, since I came to the Taizu, the Yushitai has supervised the emperor, the officials in the middle, and the people in the lower. Death remonstrance is like a military officer dying on the battlefield. Follow the truth, for the country and the country, you will not hesitate to lose your life!"

Chen Zhong's tone was forceful, and this answer was almost regarded as a standard answer.

Immediately, everyone looked at Shangguan displeased.

The Shangguan raised his chest in displeasure, and cupped his hands and said, "I want to report to your majesty, I think that remonstrance is a kind of selfish behavior, but it is to kidnap your majesty morally, and it is easy to make your majesty behave irrationally. What you think is really for the country and the people, it is impossible for your majesty not to understand, and it is impossible not to reach an agreement with your ministers. If your majesty insists on going his own way, then he must want to be a foolish emperor, so what is the use of a minister's remonstrance? If your majesty cares about the people of the country , but still did not accept the minister's remonstrance, which means that some local ministers have not thought carefully, and the minister should not give up remonstrance, but should take the blame and resign."

Shangguan is displeased with this passage. To put it bluntly, it is: I come to advise you. If you don’t listen, there are only two possibilities. One, you want to be a foolish king; There is no need to die for this possibility, and death will not do much.

The answers of the two can be said to be diametrically opposed. In terms of rhetoric alone, the officials do not know which one to choose.

Zhao Yan didn't make any comments on the two's answers, and then asked: "Second question, if you know the truth about a major case, if you don't report it, one person will die, if you report it, a hundred people will die, will you report it or not?" No report? "

Hearing this question, all the officials were lost in thought. This question is really too difficult to answer.

"The Shangguan is not happy, you answer first." Zhao Yan asked.

The Shangguan was displeased and replied almost without thinking: "Report to Your Majesty, I will definitely report to you."

"If today one person dies unjustly because of a hundred people, tomorrow a hundred people will die unjustly because of a thousand people. If future generations follow this rule, the most terrible thing is not that there will always be people who die unjustly, but that our logic of looking at the case becomes how to deal with it." To protect the interests of the majority, in the long run, what is the use of national law? What is the use of the law of the ancestors? ..."

Chen Zhong opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.

If I agree, it will appear that I am following the trend. If I disagree, I will become a sinner who will be reviled by future generations.

Chen Zhong thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, I think what the superior officials say is biased. Isn't what the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou have to do is to protect the interests of the majority of the people?"

"You fart!"

"The civil and military officials of my great Zhou Dynasty protect the interests of the scholar-bureaucrat class. There are so many victims outside the city gate. I dare to ask the deputy envoy if he ever donated a grain of rice. During the famine, some people's dinner table is chicken, duck and fish, but everyone Most of the common people are gnawing bark and eating Guanyin soil. What I hate the most is your officials who don't understand the people's sentiments and only talk about wars on paper. They don't understand the sufferings of the world, and they write nonsense!"

"You...you...rude!" Chen Chong was so angry that he was speechless.

He is the second person who can swear and swear in the Daqing Palace, and the first one is Zhao Yan who is sitting on the dragon chair.

Because Shangguan's displeasure was too aggressive, all officials were reluctant to talk to him.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.

"Haha, this Shangguan is not happy, it's really a firecracker, but the words are not rough, I like it very much." Zhao Yan murmured in his heart.

"Cough cough..."

Zhao Yan sat upright, coughed dryly, and continued, "The third question, if I and your father fell into the river at the same time, and you were the only one within ten miles around, and you were good at swimming, who would you save?"

There are countless variants of this question, and no one can give a standard answer for thousands of years. Zhao Yan will see how the two will answer.

At this moment, all civil and military officials were also dumbfounded.

Dazhou attached great importance to filial piety, but loyalty to the emperor was also the first criterion of the scholar-bureaucrat class.

Zhao Yan looked at Chen Zhong first.

"Your Majesty, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult since ancient times. I am willing to give up my family for everyone. Naturally, I want to save Your Majesty. I believe that my father will also let me save Your Majesty first."

"The Shangguan is not happy, what about you?"

Shangguan took a displeased look at Shen Tuyi who was not far away, and then said: "Your Majesty, I will naturally save my father first, because if His Majesty falls into the river, it is the responsibility of the Imperial Army, and it is the responsibility of a son to save my father. If the imperial guards fail their duty, your minister will save the nearest one first."

Shen Tuyi gave Shangguan a displeased look, and murmured in his heart: How could I let His Majesty fall into the river, and it's not your turn to save him if he falls!
After hearing the answer, Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Let's retire today. The specific appointment results will be issued by Zhongshu Province tomorrow morning."

Immediately, he retreated.

None of the civil and military officials could see which one Zhao Yan preferred.

A quarter of an hour later, the arch was in the hall.

Zhao Yan wanted to go back to sleep, but Xiao Jingye wanted to face the saint, so he had to let him in.

"Your Majesty, who is the most suitable doctor in your mind?" Xiao Jingye asked.

Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "The two have their own strengths, but I am more inclined to displease Shangguan."

Xiao Jingye said with some concern: "Your Majesty, this person is too different. If he becomes the imperial censor, I'm afraid there will be troubles every time he goes to court!"

Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said: "In my eyes, Shangguan's displeasure is like a wake-up call. Only if he keeps beating, I Da Zhou will not be immersed in the comfort zone. As for him, you also need to be beating and beating. He Emotional intelligence is too low, easy to offend people?"

"I understand." After Xiao Jingye finished speaking, he asked, "Why is EQ too low?"

"It's just that the popularity is too bad!"

Xiao Jingye nodded in approval. If this person was not an official or a censor, he would probably be beaten three times in two days.

But the position of censor seems to be like this. He hates officials, hates nobles, and hates the emperor, risking his life just to make the court better.
