Crown Tang emperor

The sage's kindness is deep, but the virtues of ministers and others are still short, and the consumption of food and clothing is no longer disturbed. Hoarding such extravagant things, the pearls are dazzling, and the wealth invades others.Therefore, when the treasures are displayed and returned to the inner treasury, in the coming year or when there is a desire for things for a long time, I also hope that I can use my willpower to benefit the family and the country and accumulate merits, instead of being trapped in the benevolent family, wandering around without success, and demanding excessively. ! "

Hearing Li Longji's confession, Li Tong couldn't help laughing, pointed at this boy and said with a smile to everyone in the hall: "All of you, how do you feel when you hear the confession of King Linzi?"

When everyone heard this, they all cast appreciative glances, but apart from this expression, there was a bit of entanglement.

Ignoring everyone's compliments for the time being, Li Tong sighed, looked at Li Longji and smiled and said: "Blessed people don't need to worry about other people's common ideas. The king of Linzi said that young people are clumsy, but this time Is it possible for a humble person to have insight into clear and clear words? So embrace the true knowledge of rough jade, no matter whether you are born noble or humble, how can you suffer from human disasters? The son of Tianjia was born to attract the attention of all people, but there is Talent and beauty, why should we keep a low profile?"

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Longji seriously and said: "Practicing the mean and not boasting in front of others is the self-seeking strategy of ordinary people in the world, but it is not the right strategy for the children of my clan to seek long-term happiness. This body grows into an adult. It is already the offering to enjoy all the world's materials, but the essence is not solemn and filthy, so why be afraid of expressing it in front of others? Just as the world is about to take a look, the Tang family not only enjoys the world's materials, but also naturally develops a habit of boasting Vulgar scholar!"

Hearing these words, Li Longji just nodded repeatedly, but it was difficult to formulate a suitable response for a while.

"I cherish all the children, and hope that you can build a family calmly and not waste your willpower for recuperation and growth due to lack of materials. Linzi King Chen Shi's expression is really sweet and beautiful. But how can the materials given out be given by love? The people in the world are always trapped by things, but in the Tian family, they just wait and see, and it is better to save people than to save things!"

Speaking of this, Li Tong beckoned to the officials of Yousi again and said: "All the kings have good morals and talents, and the assistants of the king's mansion are regular and meritorious, and they are all given first-class grades. And the goods donated by all the kings are equivalent to the goods in the inner warehouse, and the goods are distributed among the kings. Staff of the palace. The Empress Dowager will be delighted and relieved when she knows the fragrance in the court. "

After hearing the arrangement of the sage, some officials hurriedly drafted an edict on the case.Li Longji and the other brothers were a little surprised after listening, and their expressions immediately became a little unnatural.

Looking at these boys, Li Tong couldn't help sighing again, feeling that when his grandma faced him back then, there must have been entanglement and helplessness in her heart.

After pondering for a while, he looked at Li Longji again and said: "Before, I wanted you to stay in the mansion with peace of mind and have no work to do. I hope you can cultivate your ambitions calmly and benefit from your talents. But now it seems that this arrangement is a bit too much." I have considered it. Since I have already shown considerable talents, I should hone my work. My son-in-law still needs to be selected by the selection department, and my son-in-law does not need these routines. What kind of job do you want, you may as well tell me."

Although he was a little dazed by the arrangement of the sage just now, Li Longji was still very excited when he heard this.Trapped in the mansion, he was too busy to worry about, eagerly looking forward to being more integrated into the world and doing something, so that Shi Liu could pay attention to him.

However, under the great joy, he did not get carried away with joy, and still bowed his head respectfully and said: "The sage has the world in his heart, and only the emperor's heart flows in the world. The minister is just a speck of dust in it, but he has to choose and teach. Since you should serve wholeheartedly, how dare you selfishly promise to be clear and turbid.”

Li Tong laughed again after hearing this, if he could, he really wanted to stab this kid to death with a knife, so he could really tease his sensitive points with all his strength.

However, since he asked this question, of course he already had a plan in mind, so he said: "In this case, let's serve as the secretary of the province first, and any author. Although this position is free and idle, it is still under the rules of the imperial court. The establishment has its own righteousness. In the past, we joined the WTO, which is also the reason for this. I will teach you now, not to use the old steps as a framework to restrain you, but to establish this department, which is indeed beneficial to the body and mind."

After Li Longji heard this, he was slightly astonished at first, and then hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor for his kindness.As for the other people in the palace, after hearing this appointment, their expressions were more or less strange, obviously some uncontrollable thoughts produced some associations.

The reason why Li Tong chose to arrange Li Longji in the Secretary's Department was not simply because of his old appointment.If the intention only stops here, it is still a bit superficial and direct.

He held many official positions, and to be honest, he was the most incapable of performing when he was in the Secretary Department.So after staying in Lintai for a short time, he simply patted his ass and left Luoyang, and went to Qianling to mourn.

Although he also managed some personnel relations in Lintai at that time, people such as Wang Shaozong did not play a big role in his actual rise. When operating, these talents gradually come in handy.

The provincial name of the secretary is Sick Workshop, which is not just talking.Among the [-] divisions in the DPRK and China, the Ministry of Secretary is responsible for the narrowest affairs, and has the most limited room for development.

The reason why Li Tong was able to gain some hope back then was not because of the official position he held, but because he was an asshole.If it weren't for his talent in poetry and prose, those literati would have ruined him a lot with a sour pen.

Now that he is facing a situation similar to his grandma's, Li Tong finally understands why his grandma arranged him in Lintai.On the one hand, it is naturally his poetic talent, but apart from this most obvious reason, the secretary's deeds are all written, even if there are hidden dangers, they are limited.Moreover, what people think and think can be easily conveyed through poetry and prose, so literary prisons have been an important part of political struggle in all dynasties.

If you are diligent in writing, it is difficult to hide your thoughts.If you want to hide your strength and bide your time, then staying in the Secretary's Department as a mediocre scholar is naturally the best arrangement.

As for guiding the cultural trend through one's own ability, and even changing people's inherent concepts and influencing value orientation, that is not something that ordinary masters can do.Even Li Tong didn't dare to boast like this, so Li Longji should just wash up and sleep.

Excluding the associations that may arise from time flow, Li Tong's arrangement is also reasonable to the outside world.The starting point of his own career is the Secretary Department, and now that King Linzi is arranged here, he has high hopes for him, hoping that he can increase his talents and experience here, and become the head of the family.

The emperor accepted his concubine today, and the ministers attending the ceremony thought they were just having fun, but they didn't want to see such a good show again.The meaning in this drama is so profound that people can't help but think about it, but they don't dare to think too deeply.

As for Li Longji, one of the parties involved, he also felt mixed feelings, but generally speaking, the joy outweighed the worries.In any case, he has finally taken an important first step, and has an official position in the court, from which a series of social relations can be derived, and his integration into the world will be further improved.

At the same time, this method of being courteous and close to the saint is also effective. Although the arrangement of the saint is somewhat unexpected, the basic logic is still on track.In this position, the sage has to be accountable to the people of the world. As long as his words and deeds are clearly visible and the public sees it, the sage will not impose arbitrary sanctions or punishments on him.

Chapter 0895 abide by the door, IKEA IKEA

The arrangements for the Li Longji brothers have come to an end for now.Next, the Zhongguan continued to read out the names of the congratulatory gifts from the officials, but the atmosphere in the hall was no longer as relaxed and joyful as before. Many officials looked at the brothers with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

The reason is also very simple. In such an occasion, the amount of congratulatory gifts is only secondary, just to add to the fun. Whether it is the ministers offering the gifts or the saint receiving the gifts, they didn't care much about it.

But these boys just made a fuss about the gift, so many extravagant offerings, even if the saint didn't accept it, it also changed the taste of things.Compared with the gifts presented by these brothers, each of the ministers was considered a well-prepared gift, which can be described as shabby, and it was directly compared to the dust.

So the officials in the palace are naturally full of resentment towards the Linzi brothers. Could it be that you are the only brothers who enjoy the kindness, and we relatives, friends and officials just buy rice as gifts?

You want to win the favor of the saints and get more preferential treatment. This is nothing at all, it is all human nature, but you have given everyone a bad impression so quietly, how can you make people look at you pleasing to the eye?

Wearing it together for one day will lead to the blessings of the saints, and everyone is not reluctant to give up some goods, but the problem is that this fact really catches people off guard, and even if they want to add more, there is no chance.Although the sage didn't mind this, everyone was still somewhat upset.

Not to mention the changes in the atmosphere in the palace and the thoughts of the officials, after the congratulations in the palace were over, a middle official came to announce that it was the Yang family who entered the palace to express their gratitude.

Following the sage's nod of approval, a group of men from the Yang family entered the Linde Hall mightily, all wearing brand-new robes, their faces beaming with joy, and they bowed their thanks again after entering the hall.

Looking at the disciples of the Yang family standing in the hall, although Li Tong had a helpless smile on his lips, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.To be honest, he was not very happy to marry a big family, especially the aristocratic families like Guanlong, who were so prosperous that they were like rats.

In the past, when he was not in power, he married a rich family and hoped to gain personal power, but now the demand in this regard is really not great, but it has added a lot of boring personnel entanglements.Among them, if there are one or two misbehaving and bullying people, a series of shit can be involved.

If Yang Xi'er hadn't been from a great family like the Hongnong Yang family, Li Tong might have already formally brought her into the inner palace, and it wouldn't be delayed until now.Now that the imperial court is going to expand outward, it also needs a landmark event to stabilize the basic situation of Guanlong, which makes this personal relationship less pure.

Of course, the miscellaneous thoughts in my heart will not be revealed in person, anyway, today is considered a good day.After the members of the Yang family thanked each other, the imperial court followed the rules of etiquette and gave certain rewards. Uncles like Yang Zhiyi and brothers Yang Xi'er were added to the official rank. The blood relatives in the family are given books, robes and other things respectively.

Everyone in the Yang family couldn't help but smile after receiving this kindness, and danced and danced in the hall to express their gratitude.This festive scene swept away the slightly dull and awkward atmosphere just now, and the musicians from the inner teaching workshop took advantage of the opportunity to enter the hall and played songs and dances in the hall.

Although it is Li Tongna concubine today, he is not the protagonist today.After Yang Xi'er entered the palace, she would not go to the Linde Hall first, but would first rush to the Chang'an Hall where the Empress lived, where she would receive the conferment from her wife, and then go to visit the Empress Dowager, transfer the certificate to the clan, etc. After a series of etiquette is completed, the emperor will wait for the emperor's blessing in the inner palace.

So the current banquet in Linde Hall, apart from accepting gifts and celebrating with relatives and officials, is also to relieve the saint's boredom and ease his anxious and excited mood.Although the atmosphere in the hall was very warm, few people got carried away and toasted the saint frequently, probably because they were worried that drinking too much would affect their combat effectiveness.

Li Tong was sitting in the Linde Palace, spending time with the officials. It was nearly an hour after nightfall, and a report came from the inner palace saying that the ritual process had been completed, and Mrs. Yang was already waiting in the inner palace. The saint came.

Hearing the Zhongguan's report, without further urging, all the ministers got up and said goodbye.Or those who haven't enjoyed themselves to the fullest will follow Yang Zhiyi and others to Yang's Fang Mansion to continue feasting all night.

Naturally, Li Tong didn't want to be too eager at the moment, he just sat in the hall, responded to the resignation of the officials with a smile, and waited for everyone to leave the Linde Hall before raising his hand to signal to go to the inner palace.

The palace garden where the concubines live is not far from the Linde Palace. After leaving the palace, colorful lights hang high all the way, creating a festive atmosphere.And when I arrived at Yang Xier's palace, the picture was even more beautiful. Many flowers lined the road outside the palace gate, and even the palace walls were wrapped with many colorful silks. In the sleeping hall, every detail is ingeniously decorated, and they are also thoughtful and meticulous.

When a concubine enters the palace, although there will be certain rules of etiquette in the palace, but it is mainly on the general framework.As for the details of these decorations, there are no too strong requirements.If there is a concubine who entered the palace first with fierce jealousy, the palace people will even deliberately ignore it, fearing that they will be too eager to please the nobles.

The decoration of this bedroom is so gorgeous and beautiful, besides the inner palace is peaceful and there is no hostility, it also shows that Yang Xi'er's popularity in the palace is not bad. They are also really happy about it.

Li Tong walked slowly into the house stepping on the carpet, and all the palace people greeted and congratulated him happily, but when he arrived at the door of the dormitory, Yang Xi'er, who had just been named Zhaorong, was still in a brand-new auspicious costume and her makeup had not been removed. Standing respectfully waiting inside the gate, when the sage walked in, she bowed down and said: "I welcome the sage! The women have lost their customs and entered the Yao Palace. If there is a lack of service, I beg the sage to understand."

Li Tong took a step forward, bent down to help Yang Xi'er, looked at the girl's pretty face under the full makeup, and said with a smile: "Tianjia Minjia, there is no difference in love. Zhaorong can abide by the etiquette, IKEA Yishi, there is no harsh order to disturb."

Yang Xi'er nodded shyly after hearing the words, stood up with the saint's support, turned slightly sideways, put her palm on the saint's arm, and went to the bedroom side by side.

When it comes to honor and enjoyment, the concubines in the palace naturally far surpassed the women in the folk, but some rules of etiquette still cannot be surpassed casually.For example, all kinds of arrangements such as newcomers getting married, hiring and welcoming their relatives, and even slapping their hands together, can only be enjoyed by the housewives who are married in the Ming Dynasty. Although Yang Xier is respected as Zhaorong, she can't go beyond the rules.

Of course, anyone who can enter the palace to serve the king rarely cares about the lack of these etiquettes.Especially for Yang Xier, she has long-cherished wishes and the pain of keeping love for many years, so when she brought the saint into the house, she already said tremblingly and begged: "Walking all day is like in a dream. I don't see the saint. I just feel Everything is not real... Can a saint be a concubine, is this illusion or reality?"

After Li Tong heard the words, he raised his hand to hold the lady's catkin, clasped his fingers together, exchanged body temperature with each other, and said with a smile: "Whether it is true or not, but there is love and long-term bondage, this town can be at ease, and there is no need for another person." Look elsewhere."

After Yang Xi'er heard this, she also nodded vigorously, shaking her whole body with ding dong, and she couldn't help but shyly said: "This night is the most joyful, I really don't want to leave the saint for a while. But the vulgar things around me , it is really disturbing, I implore the sage to stop for a while and not to leave, let the concubine wash away the lead, and return to serve the king..."

After Li Tong heard the words, he smiled and nodded, sat down in the inner room, picked up the tea that the palace people had already prepared, and started to sip.But Yang Xi'er stood still and stared at the saint for a long time, then walked quickly into the inner room again.

Candles were flickering in the dormitory, while Yang Xier went in to change clothes, Li Tong also took off his auspicious robe outside, the fragrant wind came suddenly behind him, his back was hugged by a delicate body, and at the same time, the back of his head Yang Xi'er's hot whisper came: "After returning home, all the women in the family taught me a lot of private boudoir love and serving skills, so that I will have another lingering love when I know the deep meaning. But those people He also said that a woman must be reserved, shy and timid...

Heh, these ladies, where have they endured the hard work of being able to see me but not being able to kiss me, and welcoming the hurt?The love is open and open, without concealment, and the saint is more gracious, not letting my delusional feelings become empty. All kinds of affairs between men and women in the world, eager to go through with the saint, are so hot that people don't want to wait for a moment , how can there be free time for pretentiousness..."

As a person who has been there, Li Tong already knew what would happen next, and he had no lack of expectations in his heart. Hearing that this lady was already passionate, how could he hold back, stretched his arms back, and stretched his youthful heart. Her delicate body was pulled into her bosom, while Yang Xier was like a cat. After she fit into the sage's arms, she sucked it from her neck. When the title was held, he responded even more eagerly and slightly jerky.

The two hugged each other tightly and turned inward along the wall. Suddenly, Yang Xier's body trembled and she gasped for breath. After a while, her eyes were filled with tears.Seeing this, Li Tong turned slightly sideways and looked at the lady in surprise.

"Bite, bite my tongue..."

Yang Xi'er frowned, the corners of her mouth were hissing, and her long eyelashes raised the crystal teardrops, her appearance made people feel pitiful, but she also wanted to laugh.

Li Tong raised his hand to open the lady's teeth, leaned closer to the light and peeped in, and saw bloodshot eyes on the fragrant tongue, and the lady looked tearful when he saw her again, so he finally couldn't help laughing, and looked around. He picked up the lady at his waist and sighed: "He Yu Dunlun is the ultimate realm of humanity. You lady is just talking about war on paper, and you are thinking about how to respond to the rain and heat, and bravely climb Wushan Mountain. It is inevitable that you will break your feet!"

When Yang Xi'er heard this, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she buried her head deeply in the saint's arms until she lay flat on the couch, then she said softly: "Physical skills are blunt, making fun of everyone. But with this body, the saint also No need to show mercy..."

This lady was too worried, now that the situation was at this point, there was no need for her to ask for a fight, Li Tong naturally exerted herself.

A night of spring night, time is short and love is long.The next day until noon, the middle officer asked several times before Li Tong put on his clothes and settled down on the couch. Looking back at the lady, she was still lying softly on the bed, her expression no longer the same as yesterday's arrogance, only a bit shy and soft words: : "Sage, please wait for a while, let the concubine clean up, and then go to see the queen and the empress dowager..."

After Li Tong heard this, he laughed a few times, strode out of the bedroom, took the clothes from the palace maids and put them on, then walked slowly into the front hall with his back, calling Lai Lego told him to go forward and send a summary of the relevant matters played by the various divisions today.

Today is not the morning sun, but the ministers of the outer court also have to report according to the routine, but the courtiers also know that the sage received a concubine yesterday, so they can speculate with common sense, and they dare not make the sage work too hard, so today's reports are also quite brief and not enough. Urgent matters will be postponed for the time being.

So when Lego sent the relevant documents, Li Tong spent less than half an hour reviewing them.At this moment Yang Xi'er just finished grooming, when she walked out of the dormitory, her expression and actions were a little coy, she was no longer as fiery and generous as last night.

After Lego put away the memorials spread out on the case, she moved to the back of the saint's seat, raised her hand and pinched the saint's shoulder, and seeing the saint's expression was slightly satisfied, she said a little shyly: "Love is lingering!" , The taste is really good, but the concubine feels tired and unbearable just to promise, and it is even more hard work to know the saint's efforts. The night before, I lost my body, and I must pay attention to it carefully in the future, so that the saint will never tire of enjoying..."

Li Tong couldn't help being a little moved after hearing the words, but when he turned around and saw that the lady had a timid expression, he just smiled and patted the back of her hand and said: "In the future, Mr. Yuan is right, everything has something to observe, so there is no need to worry about it." Hurry up."

After saying this, he raised his hand and summoned a walking chariot, and went with the lady to the Chang'an Hall where the queen lived.When Li Xu was still outside the hall, Yang Xi'er hurriedly got off the chariot and followed Sheng Jia slowly.

At this time, in the Chang'an Palace, the queen and concubines were already waiting here, and at this time they all went out of the palace to welcome the saint.When the eyes of the ladies fell on Yang Xi'er, although their expressions were slightly complicated, they couldn't hide their gimmick.After all, the empress is the lord of the harem, and the general situation of the queen's bedtime last night was reported by the female officer in time.

After Yang Xi'er met the queen, the family wentssiping for a while in the palace.Although she is Xinna's concubine, Yang Xi'er is not a stranger in the palace, and there is not much estrangement between writers and relatives now.

If there is a bit of embarrassment, it is that Concubine Hui Yang Li suddenly became stuttering, only saying that yesterday's gluttony knocked her lips and teeth.Every time Yang Xi'er heard Concubine Hui speak, she was naturally ashamed, and Li Tong was also a little uneasy, and made a gesture to Yang Li when no one was paying attention, but Yang Li was not afraid at all, raising her eyebrows, quite provocative gesture.

"Jinniang, stay in the Longevity Palace with your sister and the others in the afternoon to accompany your great-grandmother. Your mother is a little sloppy in her homework. Aye will teach her while she is free!"

Li Tong raised his hand and patted Li Jinniang who was snuggling beside his mother, and said with a smile to his little lady.

"But, but, my mother also said that my uncle is going to enter the palace today, and he wants to keep me waiting in the hall."

Li Jinniang replied with some embarrassment after hearing the words.

"Your uncle is busy, so he won't come!"

Yang Li gave her daughter a push, and when she turned to see the weird eyes that everyone was looking at her, she turned her beautiful eyes and stuttered again: "No, don't just look at me like that, I'm just stupid, what should I do?" Seriously teach me to mess around!"

"Oh, I've become stupid too. The freshly brewed hot tea was poured straight into my mouth, and it happened to be scalded to the point of burning... Why, why don't you be taught like Concubine Hui?"

Wei Tuan'er took a sip of the tea on the table, then lowered his head and said with a gasp.

"Why don't I teach you, no matter how bad the horse in the stable is, it can become obedient once it is whipped hard."

Concubine Tang Gui couldn't help humming when she saw how many people looked like this.

Seeing that Yang Zhaorong was too shy to sit still, the queen couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Family get along with each other and laugh moderately. Everyone loses their composure for a while. Today Concubine Hui will be taught first, but by the eighteenth day of the next month, So I want to accompany me to Xuanyuan Temple to donate things as a gift."

While speaking, she turned her head to look at the saint again, Li Tong laughed dryly after hearing the words, and nodded in agreement.Yang Li lowered her head and counted the days, while Tang Lingshu knocked on the desk and hummed: "Don't count, I will be free that day, and I will guard the house for you."

The family gossiped for a while, and when the palace people came to tell the Empress Dowager that she had got up and prepared to eat, they all stood up and went to the Longevity Palace.Li Tong purposely walked at the end, and when he reached the corner of the palace road, he raised his hand to summon Gao Lishi and whispered, "Tomorrow, I will go to the deer garden again and lead two stags to be kept behind Zichen Hall."

Gao Lishi nodded quickly after hearing the words, but when Lego walked past him, he raised his hand and raised three fingers and shook it.

Chapter 0896, if you don't take the test, you must show your ambition

Although the life in the palace is relaxed and pleasant, it is just a daily adjustment. Taking advantage of the concubine incident, Li Tong gave himself a two-day vacation, and soon adjusted his mentality and devoted himself to the busy military and political affairs go.

Not long after Yang Zhaorong entered the palace, his uncle Yang Zhiyi asked for a foreign post.Li Tong was naturally quite satisfied with this, and deliberately put this matter in the court for discussion.

There is a surplus of talents between the two capitals, but there is a serious shortage of local officials. This is also a long-standing problem.The imperial court has been trying to adjust and balance this situation. Although it has achieved certain results, it is still difficult to reverse this phenomenon.

Although in the past few years there have been courtiers such as Zhang Shuo who have gone far away, most of the officials still hope to stay between the two capitals.After all, whether it is the living environment or the opportunities for career advancement, the central government far surpasses the local governments.

Yang Zhiyi, as a newly promoted relative of the emperor, actually volunteered to take up a post in a local area. Regardless of his specific considerations, he can be regarded as an example for the officials.

Therefore, when discussing the specific positions of Yang Zhiyi, the imperial court also gave preferential treatment, directly providing several positions for Yang Zhiyi to choose, namely Yunzhou in Monan, Yuezhou in Jiangnan, and Xiangnan in Shannan. state.

The geographical location of these three states is different, and each has its own advantages.

Among them, Yunzhou is located at the northernmost end of Hedong Road. Because of the defense against the Turks and the suppression of the Hus in the southern part of the country, the governor of Yunzhou, in addition to being the local chief executive, also has a certain degree of military control and often also leads the Shanyu the affairs of the Protectorate.Of course, the current Shanyu Dufu Mansion has been merged into the Anbei Dadu Hufu, which also means that the chief of Yunzhou is an important member of the entire northern border defense line.

As for Yuezhou in the south of the Yangtze River, needless to say, as early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Kuaiji, the old government of Yuezhou, was the economic and cultural center of the Southern Dynasties.Now, with the closer connection between the entire Jiangnan Road and the imperial court, Yuezhou has become the top money and food state among the states in the world.

And Xiangzhou, which is located between Jianghan and Han, is also extraordinary. Since ancient times, Jingxiang has been named as the most important place in Shaanxi, and it is often controlled by the powerful officials of the hegemony.Today's political environment in the Tang Dynasty certainly cannot tolerate the breeding of hegemonic and powerful ministers, but Xiangzhou, as an important town in the south of Shanxi, is also an important place for the prime minister in the political structure with Guanzhong as the core.

Faced with such preferential treatment from the imperial court, Yang Zhiyi was also very excited. After some weighing, he finally chose Xiangzhou in the south of Shannan as the target of his foreign appointment.

There are vacancies in several important places, even if there is no Yang Zhiyi's request to take the post, the court should choose capable ministers and cadres as soon as possible.So when Yang Zhiyi made his choice, the imperial court immediately issued a notice, asking Yang Zhiyi to leave for his post as soon as possible.

Before Yang Zhiyi left Beijing, Li Tong also specially summoned him, and he couldn't help but give some encouragement: "Although our country is not a great emperor, the territory is very prosperous, but the territory of the four directions is also vast and impressive. Husband stands in this world, Anyone selected by the imperial court who has the ambition to travel far can be called a top talent. Being trapped in the family and unable to travel in the Three Qin Dynasty, even if he can make progress on a flat level, he will be inferior. If you are brave enough to be a foreign official, you will be worthy in the court. Calling it an example, it also comforts me in my heart.”

As soon as Yang Zhi heard this praise, his face showed a little shame, and he bowed his head and said in a respectful voice: "I really don't dare to be a sage with such praise. Even though I was appointed and gained a false name, I won't be able to travel a thousand miles in the end. Procedure……"

"It's already pretty good. Nowadays, people value the inside over the outside. It's more expensive to sit and look at the house, and it's cheap to travel around the state and county. I don't know that within the four seas, on the shore of the land, where is not the place where the court rewards talents and employs scholars? The intention There is already a difference between inside and outside, and it is inevitable that selfishness will come first, even if such a person can fill the position along the way, how dare the imperial court entrust him with great responsibility?"

Speaking of this, Li Tong couldn't help sighing again, and then continued: "It is inevitable that human feelings are attached to the local land, and it is always hurtful to go against the road. But the well-being of the people and the prosperity of the country lie in the self-denial and abstinence of the officials at home and abroad. Therefore The imperial court issued the qualifications to select officials, and the state governance was evaluated as excellent. If the scholars in the dynasty see nothing in the world, and their previous positions are not as good as those inside and outside, their discussions are all based on old papers and feelings, and they have no personal experience. Even if he is not stingy with MG, how can such a person talk about state affairs with him?"

As early as the first year of Kaiyuan, the imperial court’s qualifications for selecting officials had changed, but from the first year of Kaiyuan to now, the three-year examination period has not yet been completed, so these new qualification rules have not yet come into effect officially, so that many times have passed. Still a little unsure about it.

Regardless of whether it is the imperial examination or the civil election, there are still many people who are selected to be inspected and taught, who still have illusions, do not want to go away, and stay in Beijing to continue running for official positions.

Li Tong is also a little helpless about this, there will always be people in the world who think they are smarter than others, refuse to follow the general trend, and want to find another way.Since these people feel that the official treatment given by the court is not worthy of them, they simply let reality teach these people a lesson.

Preferential treatment of foreign officials in terms of qualifications is only one aspect of the reform of official administration.Starting from this year, the imperial court will also strengthen and tighten the assessment standards for officials in the two capitals, clean up a group of old bureaucrats, and make room for a group of prefectural and county officials who can only be tempered and manifested.

At the same time, attention will also be paid to and severe punishment will be given to the phenomenon of officials who fail to perform their duties after inspection and authorization.It's not like they will be directly imprisoned for life across the board and not allowed to be an official, but this stain must be marked in the qualification file, and the next series of official career progress and even the shadow of their children will be greatly affected.

The sage expressed great emotion about the current administration of officials in the court, but Yang Zhiyi certainly didn't think so broadly. His request to choose a foreign post was more out of consideration of his own interests.

Therefore, Yang Zhiyi just listened respectfully to the sage's speech, and only said after the sage finished speaking: "The minister's thoughts are far less general than the sage's. But the reason why he asked for a place is indeed a feeling. Born. Today, God is gracious and merciful, and the family of the courtiers is favored. Everyone in the family feels the holy will and benevolence, and does not abandon the humble.
