Peerless Daoist

As soon as this sentence came out, Cheng Jin also suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

"Why is this? Nowadays, both the ruling and the opposition think that Lu Dang is about to take power. If you make such a decision, it may arouse criticism." Cheng Jin exclaimed.

Lu Yu shook his head: "I admit that there are also many outstanding young people in the Lu Party. These people are capable, passionate, and dare to take responsibility. They are indeed outstanding talents."

"However, there are still a considerable number of people in the Lu Party who have enthusiasm, but no practical skills, let alone experience. If I let these people come to power, it will only make the government more chaotic!"

Cheng Jin's expression suddenly became serious: "At least you can admit that they are loyal to you. You have just ascended the throne and need a group of loyal ministers to assist you."

"Do not."

Lu Yu shook his head: "Master Cheng, a loyal and incompetent minister, or a treacherous and promising minister, which one is more beneficial to all beings?"

Cheng Jin thought for a moment and said, "For the king, loyalty is the most important thing, and for the common people, being productive is more important."

"That's right." Lu Yu said solemnly: "In the Middle Ages, there were many famous officials. Some people saw the attack of the sect and ordered the whole city to stand guard. In the end, the whole city was slaughtered. Some people saw the catastrophe coming. He actually chose to commit suicide to comfort the heavens.”

Cheng Jin nodded: "These are all recorded in the biography of famous officials."

Lu Yu said: "This is the problem. The imperial court appoints people to be officials to benefit one side, to let you take care of things, not to let you achieve your own reputation."

"These people have achieved their own high profile, but they have no help in the local area. I don't think this can be called a good official."

Cheng Jin closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he said: "I understand what you mean. The members of Lu Dang are too young and do not understand too many things. For some things, just relying on blood is not enough."

"So the members of the Lu Party are not available yet. I need to screen these people. Talented people are entrusted with important tasks, and those who do not have talent must continue to practice. Now, it is not the time for them to show their talents."

Lu Yu said: "The disciple invites Master Cheng to come out, and I hope that you will have a good eye and know the pearl, and try to select some capable ministers. In order to restore the luck in a short period of time, each yamen must have sufficient and reliable personnel. Please engineer!"

Cheng Jin took a deep breath and let it out slowly, thinking a lot in his heart.

"Many years ago, the old man left officialdom, his original intention was to teach in meditation and to understand the vast meaning of Confucianism."

Cheng Jin let out a long sigh: "Forget it, the gentleman follows the trend. The old man can't always be stubborn in his inner thoughts. Since His Majesty needs my old bones, the old man will naturally help him with all his strength and help His Majesty achieve immortality."

"Thank you, engineer!"

Lu Yu saluted Cheng Jin with a solemn expression on his face.

This is an extremely important part of Lu Yu's plan.

In the next step, Lu Yu has to carry out a series of measures, and there must be an old minister who can support him in the court.

Lu Yu chose Cheng Jin for this reason.

Cheng Jin is not only highly qualified, but also has a high status in the Confucian school. Many pedantic and old-fashioned ministers of the old school also have special respect for Cheng Jin.

When Lu Yu took Cheng Jin out of the academy, he also moved him from the quiet academy to the troubled officialdom.

In Lu Yu's heart, he had already made arrangements for Cheng Jin, and he would never treat him badly in the future.
