"So...we finally reached an agreement?" Emperor Chengyuan handed Sheng Xiangxun's essay to Prince Jiang Huaiqian and chuckled, "See, aren't these people quite sensible? I thought they would take the opportunity to use Jiujiang Academy

This is an excuse to completely separate the schoolwork of boys and girls."

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

Emperor Chengyuan snorted softly: "Prince, I ask you, how can the emperor win when he and his courtiers compete?"

Jiang Huaiqian thought for a while: "The art of balance is to divide and transform, give one party glory and allow it to defeat the other, reduce the strong and support the weak, and the rotation will be repeated."

When Emperor Chengyuan heard this, he nodded and smiled: "This emperor's technique has been passed down for thousands of years. It has both advantages and disadvantages. It must not be used, nor can it be used to its full potential."

After Jiang Huaiqian became the crown prince, his father taught him from time to time, so he listened very carefully at this moment.

He considers himself good at strategy, but few of the methods he has used in the past can be seen in the light, so he also wants to hear about his father's conspiracy.

Emperor Chengyuan used a tea tray as a sand tray, put the teapots and cups away and said: "No one person can speak exclusively in the court. If the king only obeys, the government will become absurd; if the ministers only obey, the country will also shake. Therefore, the king must wait for the ministers to discuss the affairs.

When making decisions, you should not be arbitrary in everything; you should use it to benefit your officials."

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

Jiang Huaiqian asked in his heart, how is this different from what he said before?

Probably seeing the prince's doubts, Emperor Chengyuan said with a smile: "Benefits should not be given only to individuals, but to the whole... Take the Ministry of Personnel as an example, let the benefits be distributed to each department of the Ministry of Personnel, and everyone will benefit, no matter who.

When you serve as an official in the Ministry of Personnel, you are one with the top and bottom of the Ministry of Personnel. The benefits are shared and the responsibilities are shared. Depending on whether you are a member of this group or another, the size of the officials in the department will be a constraint."

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

Emperor Chengyuan continued: "The narration of officials should also look at their political achievements, reputation among the people, opinions of colleagues, evaluations from the ministry, contributions to past positions and personal qualities. These distributions are involved so that they will not rely on any one minister."

Jiang Huaiqian listened to Emperor Chengyuan's words. He nodded for a while, frowned slightly for a while, and asked hesitantly after a while: "Father... if a minister is upright and honest but offends his colleagues, it will be difficult to get a high Quanxu rating. How should we explain this?"

Emperor Chengyuan looked at him puzzled: "The evaluation system is multi-faceted, and one evaluation is not determined by colleagues. For being honest and upright, colleagues are judged, as well as the opinions of subordinates, the reputation of the people, and past contributions and political achievements at that time. These have three points.

In addition, personal quality should definitely be promoted rather than degraded."

Jiang Huaiqian added: "What if my subordinates are bribed and their political achievements are modified?"

This time Emperor Chengyuan laughed out loud: "Prince, if all his subordinates who had been used in the past were bribed and no one else had a voice, how could he mobilize his subordinates and cooperate with his colleagues to achieve good results? Furthermore, political achievements can be changed, but the reputation of the people cannot be eliminated.

He can't be an official all the way and others can change his political achievements and hide his merits, right? Even if there are, are there really no good ministers and loyal generals in the court?"

Jiang Huaiqian was speechless.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Chengyuan thought of the standards for appointing subordinate officials: "Prince, the court appoints people based on their quality; but the people they use must not be arrogant, can't deal with their colleagues, can't mobilize their subordinates, they must be enthusiastic and whole-hearted."

What can the people do?"

He knew very well what kind of person the prince he had chosen personally was. When this boy was fighting for the throne, he had exhausted all his talents, and there were many treacherous advisers among them. Now that his position was secure, he wanted to use a man of glory and glory, and wished he could serve as his subordinates.

Everyone is honest and selfless.

Emperor Chengyuan sighed secretly.

But since he has been chosen as the prince, he can only teach him as much as possible while he still has the strength: "Ability is the most important thing! What's the use of being honest and upright without ability? Let the emperor and the public reward him.

Can the lotus be formed?"

Jiang Huaiqian's heart skipped a beat, feeling that his father seemed to see through his mind, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes and said that he had made a mistake.

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 will keep the benefits of women's admission in the hearts of the people; when the benefits will bring practical benefits to most people

, the force of opposition will continue to decrease. When most officials and families benefit from this, then this will will be unstoppable."

When he said these words, there was a flash of suppressed enthusiasm in his eyes, which seemed to be filled with joy and memories.

"Father, if we set up a family where both parents and sisters are famous, and the rest of the brothers and sisters also study for reference, they can skip the Tongsheng Examination, receive the same treatment as a scholar, and go straight to the Provincial Examination... How about?"

Jiang Huaiqian responded quickly. After making this suggestion, he immediately perfected the order in his mind.

Emperor Chengyuan smiled and nodded, stroking his hands: "The prince is not bad, the prince is not bad."

After 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 were still here..." Walking to a spacious and deserted place, Emperor Chengyuan lowered his eyes, no longer hiding the loneliness in his eyes, "The country is still here, but 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 stunned silence.

After a long while, he walked over and comforted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's so hot outside that you don't want to stay too long. Your dragon body is important."

Emperor Chengyuan was relieved from his memories by his soft call. His eyes blinked unconsciously for a moment before he remembered where he was: "Well, go back!"

The huge imperial city was his sad place, but it was ridiculous that he spent most of his time living in this sad place.

"I've been thinking about the past a lot lately, and I don't know how much longer I can teach the prince." Emperor Chengyuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a little worried.

Yang Xun quickly followed up: "The Emperor is in good health and will live forever."

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

Although he said this, his depressed mood finally eased. Emperor Chengyuan smiled and waved to Yang Xun: "Let's go rowing with me on Houhu Lake!"

As for the memorial that is half a man tall...just save it for training the prince!

When Prince Jiang Huaiqian returned to the mansion, he was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes.

He rubbed his wrists while walking in. As soon as he entered the second door, he saw Anyu walking out with Chengdong on his fat legs.

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

"Uncle Prince!" Anyu saluted, ran over, raised his head, and puffed out his chest proudly and said, "I asked Chengdong to give a gift to Sister Yuan!"
