There was only one tail left in the first year of Qianyou. Due to the cold winter, the Han Dynasty and even the whole world fell into a state of calm and desolate peace. As the reorganization of the Tokyo Forbidden Army came to an end, Liu Chengyou's troubled heart slowly also clam down.
The Han Dynasty court also fell into a rare state of calm, and civil affairs were not active. The system of election and selection of officials gradually filled the grassroots offices in Beijing. Although they were still dissatisfied with the entire bureaucracy and still felt that it was backward, the fresh blood was Joining is always a positive improvement.
Moreover, compared to the time when he was on the verge of losing control of the court, the current situation is much better. Regarding the appointment of officials, Liu Chengyou has taken back most of his power. The biggest obstacle is that he is still the "prime minister" Yang Bin objected.
However, even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, everyone wanted to spend the cold winter peacefully, but Liu Chengyou couldn't help but make some fine adjustments.
Since December, the biggest job change in the court has been the reshaping of the Yushitai. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the supervisory function of the Yushitai has been continuously weakened. Now, even the Yushitai has gradually become a virtual one. Title. In response to this situation, Liu Chengyou made decisive adjustments. The weak government of the Han Dynasty and the loopholes in the supervision system were also one of the reasons.
Under the system, the institutional functions of the Yushitai were reorganized, and some of the supervisory duties were shared with the provinces. All the relics were transferred to the Yushitai to serve, and more than ten Jinshi candidates were promoted to serve in the Taishi to gain experience.
Of course, it is not enough for officials to be well-equipped; it also needs to be led by a strong and powerful person.
The former imperial censor Zhongcheng Bianwei was dismissed by Liu Chengyou. It was not that he had any fault or any major shortcomings in his ability. It was just that he was older, already 65 years old. There were too many old people in the court of the Han Dynasty. The emperor Liu Chengyou liked to employ young people.
The person who replaced Bian Wei was Bian Guichen, the Minister of Criminal Affairs. Although they both had the surname Bian, they were not closely related. One was from Youzhou and the other was from Huazhou.
When this person boldly remonstrated with Liu Chengyou about the security of the capital and the rampant guards and military officials, he left a deep impression on him. Moreover, Bian Guichen also had a rich resume and had the talent of Dali to judge affairs. He is an honest and honest official, with a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and a tough style. He is only in his early forties, so he is very suitable.
On the other hand, although Liu Chengyou dismissed Bian Wei, he did not treat him poorly. After all, he was a veteran of the court and had rich experience in governance. His official reputation was pretty good whether at the local or central level. Liu Chengyou regarded him as the magistrate of Tongzhou, and added With the title of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he became the second official in the Han Dynasty who was selected by the court officials and had the power to know the military and state affairs.
As for Nie Wenjin, who was previously selected by Liu Chengyou as the magistrate of Tongzhou, he was moved to the magistrate of Huazhou before his butt was hot. There was no way, Bian Wei was from Huazhou. Although the current national conditions of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chengyou was not afraid of Tongzhou County. When you are an official, it is useless to be afraid, but you should try your best not to start it. The effect and role of being an official in a different place are still great.
After moving from a false position to a real position and becoming the imperial court official, and with the support of the emperor, Bian Guitan, who took up the post of Yushitai, was naturally eager to try and do something big. However, after he came to power, he did not take the opportunity to seize power and increase the number of Yushitai. authority. Instead, he strongly reiterated the rectification of the supervisory regulations and the rectification of the Yushi regulations, especially the trend of false accusations since the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the intention of building the Yushitai into a "combatant" yamen.
In a few days, the atmosphere of the imperial censorship took on a new look. What Bian Guichen did made him even more popular with Liu Chengyou. In addition, Zhao Li, the imperial censor who had been promoted to Tokyo by Liu Chengyou before, was promoted to the imperial censor. , assisting Bian Guijian.
By now, at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, the situation of "all the dynasties were greedy and greedy" has improved a lot. In fact, whether it is the state, town or central government, there are still a lot of talents. Especially the central government, no matter what time, there are still many talents. It can all be described as a gathering of talents. As long as you carefully screen and explore, you can always find usable talents.
However, even if there are talents, it is not enough to question their loyalty and sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, even though the Manchu Dynasty was full of corrupt officials, there was no way. At least they were The hero and cornerstone of the Han Dynasty.
It is only now that Liu Chengyou is in power, his power and position are gradually stabilized, dissidents have retreated, the country is at peace, and there is no fear of overthrow, and things have improved. Liu Chengyou also has more time and energy to identify talents, promote talents, and organize Housekeeping.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, Liu Chengyou finally felt a little more relaxed. Although he was still busy with machine maintenance and military affairs were still in his hands, at least he was not as busy as before. He had found time to study, practice martial arts, and cultivate his sentiments.
But even so, the scope of the whole day's activities was basically within the Chui Gong Hall and its surroundings. It was cold, rainy and snowy, and there was no other place to put his rare leisurely heart except the harem.
The empty imperial palace was slightly warmed by two stoves with added fuel. However, Liu Chengyou ordered from time to time to open the doors and windows for ventilation, which kept the temperature from rising. There were rumors in the palace that the official family liked the cold and was afraid of the heat. In fact, Liu Chengyou just cherished his life and was afraid of the toxic gas produced by insufficient coal. He still enjoyed the warmth provided by the stove.
Beside the imperial desk, Liu Chengyou stood with a pen in hand, his posture was very serious, his expression was serious, and he practiced calligraphy stroke by stroke. There were less than fifty characters, which took a long time.
"Master Yang, what do you think of my handwriting?" After putting down his pen and rubbing his hands, Liu Chengyou greeted the old man standing aside.
The old man was thin, with white beard and hair, but he had a unique temperament. Although he was wearing an official robe, he exuded a wild and carefree look, but his face showed humility and he maintained etiquette in front of Liu Chengyou.
His public name was Yang Ningshi, a famous "great calligrapher" nowadays. Historically, he suppressed calligraphy for an era and belonged to the masters who inherited the Tang and Qi Song Dynasties. Of course, throughout the Five Dynasties, calligraphy declined, and also This highlights its reputation even more.
In the early days, the emperor wanted to study calligraphy and look for famous teachers, and someone immediately recommended Yang Ningshi. This prince has always been more Buddhist in his official career, and he followed the trend. In order to save his life, he even pretended to be crazy when he was young, so he gave him the nickname "Yang Fengzi" .But I am still happy to guide Liu Chengyou. After all, I still have to eat. There are so many old ministers and nobles in Tokyo, and not many of them really live a good life.
Hearing this, Yang Ningshi glanced briefly, showed a hint of hesitation on his face, and then replied more pertinently: "Your Majesty's book has made great progress."
Liu Chengyou studied Yan style, and writing regular script was slightly "easier". As for Yang Ningshi's running script, which Yang Ningshi was good at, he couldn't learn it.
As for this work, it is an excerpt from Han Yu's "Horse Theory". On the whole, it looks square and square, but it is obviously old-fashioned and dull.
Liu Chengyou was still self-aware. He noticed the expression flashing across his old master's face and said with a frown: "It's just a shape and has no charm at all. I still know this."
Hearing this, Yang Ningshi pointed to the two words "Bo Le" and "Qianli Ma" and said in his old voice: "Your Majesty's book has the charm of a real dragon. Your Majesty's intention to seek talents and his heart to promote talents are vivid. On paper!"
[Get cash red envelopes] You can get cash by reading books! Follow WeChat and the public account [Book Friends Base Camp], cash/point coins are waiting for you!
Seeing the old master guessing his own thoughts, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but feel happy, and he accepted his statement.
"The punctuation marks set by His Majesty are indeed miraculous in helping to clarify the meaning of sentences!" After saying that, Yang Ningshi complimented Liu Chengyou again.
Hearing this, the corner of Liu Chengyou's mouth twitched slightly. Previously, he had used memorials from ministers without distinguishing intervals. The meaning of many sentences was difficult to distinguish and required Liu Chengyou to guess. Suffering from this, Liu Chengyou took out the "modern punctuation marks" and settled on one. Standards and regulations were implemented in Zhongshu. Of course, they were just some commonly used symbols. He could not remember the complete list of punctuation marks.
In the early days, the ministers may have been confused, but after a period of promotion, it has been on the right track. Now, everyone basically feels its convenience. The scribes who compiled the books in the third library were the first to accept it. Nowadays, it is already on the right track. Promoting it to the whole country is also a process that takes time, but there is not much resistance, and the court is vigorously promoting it, so time is not a problem.
Although there is nothing to be proud of, Liu Chengyou is still in a good mood.
