In order to prevent the court party struggles from spreading deeper and stalking such bad signs that harm the country and the people, Wang Lin has been working hard recently to sleep and eat.
He doesn't want to be Qin Shihuang.
In addition to the checks and balances between the new and old parties, Wang Lin is also considering replenishing fresh blood for the court.
Now Dayan is thriving, with a prosperous economy and a prosperous population.
National strength and military strength are growing rapidly at a geometric multiple.
It has shown the appearance of a strong country.
A great power must not be moved lightly.
If the control is not good, the court will be in turmoil, which will be detrimental to the country and the imperial power.
At this moment, two memorials or letters from Queen Nalan from the distant Kingdom of Vientiane and Queen Mother of Xixia Yelu Nanxian gave Wang Lin great inspiration.
Wang Lin couldn't help but sneer: "I just realized now that no matter what I do, my biggest enemy is not an external enemy, but an internal one!
These people know about internal strife all day long, and they fight for power and profit, and their minds are full of dirty things that dogs and cats bite. After a day, I really doubt how much time and energy they have to spend on serving the country.
Shangguan Qing said lightly: "Your Majesty, the officials of our dynasty have adopted the examinations whenever they advance. This is the national policy that Your Majesty set at the beginning of his establishment. You must be an official in the court if you pass the imperial examination.
Wu Min was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Everyone, I think that it is not necessarily a bad thing for foreigners to enter the court to become officials.
Out of concessions between prime ministers and imperial power, the cabinet ministers quickly reached an agreement.
This is actually a good thing for strengthening the Great Yan to rule the Western Xia. How could the cabinet oppose it? These things were implemented very quickly.
There are also foreign nobles who have been active in the Yanjing political circle such as Geshuting, Goryeo Kingdom's envoy Li Changwan, Tubo's envoy Nacuo Khenpo, who have been active in the Yanjing political circle for a long time.
.
Wang Lin was a little surprised that the cabinet did not raise any objections.
But for now, it is obvious that there will be great resistance to allowing aliens to enter the court to become officials, especially to hold some senior positions.
More importantly, because of the previous episodes, Your Majesty was quite dissatisfied with the court officials and had planted the seedlings of suspicion with the court officials.
During the Han and Tang dynasties, especially the Tang Dynasty, there were countless aliens who filled the courts and held important civil and military positions.
Which emperor did this happen?
Li Gang pondered: "Everyone, although foreign people are not the precedent for history, and they were also present in the Han and Tang Dynasties, there has been no precedent for hundreds of years since the establishment of the Song Dynasty. Your Majesty's move is probably of profound meaning.
”
If the cabinet and court officials do not object to it, he will immediately promulgate the announcement and hold a special envoy to select talents from different races to enrich the officialdom of the Dayan.
In his opinion, the emperor was already a rare wise ruler for all time, and was enough to delegate power to the court.
A common example will be formed in the future.
First, a few foreigners can't make any waves at all, they are just adorable; second, the so-called factional disputes in the court are gradually arising, and a new force comes in and mixes with it, but it's not sure.
Plays a role in stabilizing the dynasty.
He also drafted a special civil and military accord for foreign races all over the world, and selected talents to the court as officials in a variety of ways, and handed them over to Shangguan Qing to report them to the desk of the Emperor's Royal Study Room.
Guo Zhishun thought in his heart and did not speak.
He couldn't help but smile: "Shangguan Qing, it seems that Li Gang and others have seen my true intentions. Yes, the reason why I trust the cabinet is mainly because they take the overall situation into consideration and communicate with the power.
To achieve change and be proficient in common affairs!”
The emperor's first goal of reshuffling the court was achieved.
Wang Lin thought repeatedly and thought that this matter was feasible, so he added the imperial criticism to Nalan's memorial, and ordered the cabinet to arrange a group of craftsmen from the local area as soon as possible and dozens of talented Han officials to go to Wanxiang to enrich the Kingdom of Wanxiang.
The governance level is basically an official in various cities of the Vientiane Kingdom.
Nalan also talked about the recent strong support of the Yunnan Province, the Vientiane Kingdom has basically stabilized the domestic situation of the kingdom, and Vientiane has initially met the basic conditions for conquering the surrounding countries.
Nalan also mentioned that the Vientiane Kingdom now needs a large number of craftsmen and merchants from the Central Plains to help Vientiane develop the economy and improve people's livelihood, and a group of talents proficient in local governance also need to enrich the management team of the Vientiane Kingdom.
Li Gang, Zong Ze, Wu Min, Huang Qishan and Guo Zhishun were stunned after hearing Shangguan Qing's words.
During the Han and Tang dynasties, it was so common for aliens to be generals in the army and ministers in the court.
So Shangguan Qing went to the cabinet to pass on the emperor's oral order.
Therefore, if the aliens enter the court and become officials, the biggest obstacle is actually not their origins, but their lack of status as a Jinshi."
Guo Zhishun felt that he could wait and see what happened and remain neutral.
If we oppose Your Majesty’s actions at this moment, we will definitely be afraid of Your Majesty.”
Wang Lin also criticized the cabinet and handed it over to the cabinet for processing.
If a new force is supported in the court, it will obviously break the current inherent pattern of the new and old parties controlling the government affairs.
Guo Zhishun sighed lightly and remained silent.
Shangguan Qing was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty has the world in mind and has the ambition to take advantage of the world's talents for his own use, but I am worried that this move will arouse opposition from the court officials."
In his letter home, Nalan first expressed his deep longing for the emperor and proposed to set off for the winter of this year to visit the emperor in Dayanjing City, hoping to reunite with the emperor for a period of time.
Wang Lin thought carefully and said, "I also want to celebrate this festival, so I plan to hold a special envoy, specifically targeting the alien races in the world. No matter which country or race, as long as I am familiar with the Han culture, I am willing to enter the court and become an official.
Those who serve Dayan can register for reference."
Wang Lin frowned and said, "You don't have to worry, just say it, I'll listen carefully."
Therefore, Wang Lin learned from this and felt that since the court could appoint Han officials to all the tribes of Wanxiang, Xixia, Tubo and even Mongolia to serve as officials, why should foreigners not enter the court and become officials?
However, the Xixia officialdom was basically dominated by the people of the Xixia. The Dayan court should appoint senior officials of the kingdom, such as the prime minister and military commander, and their appointment authority should be controlled by the Dayan court.
Wang Lin thought about it over and over again and decided to implement it in steps, but accelerated the pace and promoted the plan of foreigners to enter the court to become officials.
Wang Lin remembered the recent two Mongolian concubines, Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan, and the Yelu Wuliyan sisters mentioned to him not long ago, about some talents who were proficient in Han culture among the Mongols and the rest of the Khitan tribes, and there were also strong people.
Whether the brave general of cavalry and shooting can enter the court to serve the Great Yan?
Nalan felt that these two countries were eyeing each other and lying beside the bed, she couldn't sleep.
The so-called use of aliens as officials is just one of the emperor's methods.
Shangguan Qing bowed and blessed: "I obey the order."
He had long seen that the emperor had the intention of purging the court and reshuffling the court officials.
However, the above Guan Qing’s understanding of the emperor was afraid that anything that Wang Lin decided could not be stopped by anyone who opposed it.
The Han and Tang dynasties were okay, but why are they not now?
Two months later, a special civil and military honors department will be held in Yanjing to select talents for the Great Yan.
Yelu Nanxian expressed similar intentions to Nalan in the memorial.
Nacuo Khenpo married a Han wife and had settled in the Central Plains, which was actually no different from the Han people.
Shangguan Qing passed my oral order to the cabinet, saying that I would open a foreign enrollment certificate and would advance as soon as possible, and see the cabinet's reaction."
I also know that many aliens are well-versed in Central Plains culture and are familiar with all kinds of arts, including many talents and brave generals, but if they enter the court and become officials, there is a big obstacle."
However, imperial power and court officials are inherently irreconcilable contradictions. The expansion of court power will definitely suppress imperial power, which is something that no emperor wants to see.
It must be said that Nalan, the Queen of Vientiane, has quite strategic vision.
Shangguan Qing knew that this was a test by the emperor.
Li Gang smiled: "I agree with Prime Minister Wu's words. Such harmless things should be together with Your Majesty. But after this, there will be another storm in the court."
Huang Qishan responded the fastest and said, "Your Majesty must have thought of the current situation, and the disputes between the old and new parties are constantly occurring. Although the case of Zhang Shiru's murder of his mother was temporarily stopped because of the resolution of Zhang Shiru's case of killing his mother, the root cause of the party dispute has been laid in the court.
Shangguan Qing was slightly stunned and then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, foreign officials were very common in the Han and Tang Dynasties. In this case, it is not impossible.
In particular, Li Changwan was a man who was familiar with the culture and human nature of the Central Plains among the Goryeo royal family. He lived in the Central Plains all year round. He wanted to participate in the imperial examinations in the pre-Song Dynasty, but in the end he failed because of his identity.
He looked up at the female official Shangguan Qing and said lightly: "Shangguan Qing, do you think if I am a qualified person from a foreign race to enter the court, is it appropriate or not?"
Zong Ze frowned and said, "Even if the aliens are proficient in Chinese, they are not of my race and their hearts must be different. Can these aliens occupy the court and serve my life for Dayan? I really doubt it."
Your Majesty obviously intends to introduce a new faction, prepare for the future, and be prepared for the future."
Nalan believed that at an appropriate time, Da Yan could mobilize local troops in Yunnan to advance to Wanxiang, and attack Bagan and Jiaozhi on both wings with the troops of the Wanxiang Kingdom, and strive to incorporate these two countries into the territory of Da Yan and eliminate future troubles forever.
Yelu Nanxian thought that Xixia had been officially incorporated into Dayan for several years. Although it was named Xixia County, it was actually a Xixia province of Dayan. Although the emperor intended to prevent the court from interfering too much because of taking care of Yelu Nanxian's emotions.
The internal affairs of Xixia.
Otherwise, relying solely on the people of all things themselves, all things will remain in the wilderness and ignorance for a long time.
Although the above three people are alien races, they have been familiar with Han Chinese classics since childhood. Apart from their appearance, they are almost the same as Han Chinese.
But if the cabinet and court rebounded loudly, I believe the emperor would think of other tricks.
Shangguan Qing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Li Xiang said, "My Majesty has opened up the territory and expanded the territory. It is the time to use people. Your Majesty has such good intentions and has no restrictions on recommending talents to the country.
Reason to object."
Wang Lin laughed: "Okay, I still haven't read them wrongly. These five old ministers are indeed the pillars of the country, and no one can easily shake it!"
However, Wang Lin's smile quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "But these five people are really cunning. They want me to block the opposition in the court alone and push the trouble to me.
Come and deal with it.
But what are I afraid of? Shangguan Qing, let this be issued to China and foreign countries, and announced the world through the eight hundred-mile fast horse and the unique channels of the Jinyiwei!”
