I want to be a faint king [Rebirth]

Yuan Yin was sitting on the couch, staring directly at the lantern hanging in the center of the hall, his mind was full of Xiao Rong's unsmiling appearance of the traitor, just now he wanted to laugh at him, but he never thought that he would be able to do so in a short time Defeat all the talents inside and win the lantern.

Yuan Yin couldn't tell whether he was angry or happy, the thief who was angry was extremely talented, and he was happy that the lantern finally came to him.

Suddenly, Yuan Yin shook his head, looking at the lantern, he immediately felt that it was not pleasing to the eye, how could he forget that in his last life he was forced to commit suicide by this traitor, how could he forget in this life just because of his little favor Well, it really shouldn't be.

"Come here." After thinking about it, Yuan Yin quickly called out.

Xiao Luzi hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Yuan Yin respectfully and said, "Your Majesty."

"Pick this lantern for me." Yuan Yin's face was sullen, his brows were tightly frowned, and his face was displeased. Xiao Luzi didn't dare to ask more after listening to the order that contained anger:

"Here."

After Xiaoluzi exited the bedroom, he immediately called someone to take down the lantern in the center of the hall, extinguished the candles, and then asked someone to put it away.

"Xiao Luzi, what's the matter?" Li Lin looked at the puzzled Xiao Luzi in front of the door and asked quickly.

Xiao Luzi bowed to his master and said, "Master, you said that His Majesty clearly likes that lamp, why did you ask someone to take it now?"

"Don't judge your heart, understand?" Li Lin said with a serious face. When Xiao Luzi looked at Li Lin, his immature face showed a little doubt, but after a while, he recovered and just nodded vigorously.

On the sixteenth morning of the first lunar month, in the Ganlu Hall, Yuan Yin stretched out his arms and asked the female officials to put on court clothes and crowns for himself, and then walked out of the Ganlu Hall surrounded by the servants, got on the arrogance, and walked towards the front court. go.

On the first day of the court meeting after the opening of the dynasty, all the officials knelt down to worship the mountain and shouted long live, Yuan Yin sat on the dragon chair with his chest straight, and said calmly: "Everyone is flat."

After the courtiers thanked each other and got up, Taiwei Xu Zheng stepped forward to salute with a serious attitude: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the case of the murder of Dong Fang, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment in the first month, has been solved. Qin Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, used his power to accept bribes to replace the death row prisoner. What’s more, such frightening acts as buying a murderer and murdering, after being verified by Jing Zhaoyin, the evidence is conclusive, and Qin Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has also been detained in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, please tell your Majesty how to understand this case.”

"Xiao Aiqing, what do you think?" Yuan Yin asked Xiao Rong who was in the front row.

Xiao Rong's expression was as usual, his eyes were calm, upon hearing the emperor's words, he immediately stepped forward and said: "It should be handed over to Dali Temple for retrial, and finally convicted according to the law."

"So, let's do it according to Xiao Yushi's words." Yuan Yin said lightly.

Xu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, glanced sideways at Xiao Rong, and immediately averted his gaze, and responded to the emperor's words after saluting.

After the dynasty was dispersed, all the officials withdrew from the Xuanzheng Hall. Xiao Rong and Prime Minister Wei Wei'an walked last. Seeing Xiao Rong's calm and composed appearance, Wei Wei'an couldn't help but stroked his beard, walked beside Xiao Rong, and said doubtfully:

"How did Xiao Yushi offend our Majesty? Could it be that Xiao Yushi beat him when he was teaching His Majesty how to read?"

Hearing Wei Wei'an's slightly teasing words, Xiao Rong just looked sideways at him: "The prime minister can't say that."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, brother Xiao, I heard that Baishanlou has new dishes, I wonder if brother Xiao is interested in accompanying Wei." Wei Weian followed Xiao Rong's pace and said with a smile.

"Okay, see you when you are." Xiao Rong responded, and then left the front hall with everyone.

Returning to Ganlu Hall, Yuan Yin changed into court clothes. He was wearing an apricot-colored wide-sleeved brocade robe, a belt with dark silver patterns, and simple accessories.

In Chongwen Hall, Xiao Rong had been waiting in the hall early, Yuan Yin looked at Xiao Rong's calm expression, covered his lips and coughed lightly, then sat down, pretending to be nonchalant and opened the book: "Xiao Aiqing , what do we learn today?"

"Learn to choose an official." Xiao Rong looked at the appearance of the emperor, his delicate and handsome features did not look like a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, his eyes were deep, as if he was beyond his original age, Xiao Rong felt more than once that the boy in front of him The emperor, compared to the young emperor before the enthronement ceremony, has changed a lot.

Xiao Rong thought it was a blessing, but it was also a misfortune.

Ordinary people, even the sons of aristocratic families, at his age, hide under the wings of their parents, go to private schools with friends, prepare for the provincial examinations, and then take the scientific examinations. The Son of Heaven, with important national affairs in his heart, every word is the national system.

He is calmer than the usual young man, which means that he will soon be able to take charge of the government. From now on, he will only be a minister, not a teacher. His responsibility is to advise rather than to teach.

"Choose an official?" Yuan Yin frowned slightly, meeting Xiao Rong's eyes.

"The foundation of security lies in winning people." Xiao Rong nodded earnestly and replied: "Your Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and what he sees and hears cannot be far away. Therefore, the appointed officials must go through thousands of selections before being selected. Entrusted with a heavy task, to be the eyes, ears, and right-hand man of His Majesty. Emperor Wende said that the foundation of governance lies in the trial. The appointment of talents is the official of the Ministry. Therefore, the "Book" says that "an official is only a virtuous person". It is also said that " Officials are not necessary, but their people'. If you have good people, even if they are few, it is enough; if you are not good, even if there are many, you will be ridiculed? The ancients also thought that officials do not have talents, and they are like painting the ground to make cakes, which cannot be eaten. Does Your Majesty understand?"

Listening to Xiao Rong's words, Yuan Yin frowned slightly: "Nowadays, the students who pass the examination every three years are all talents, why can't they all be used?"

"Although there are many talented scholars selected by the scientific examination, virtue is a necessary condition for being an official. Virtue and talent are the best." Xiao Rong stood in front of Yuan Yin with his hands behind his back, looking down at Yuan Yin.

"Since this is the case, I have doubts in my mind. Qin Quan, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, is so false and seeks personal gain with the convenience of his position. Going to Dali Temple for trial is just a formality. In this way, two vacancies in the Ministry of punishment will be vacant. How can this be filled? What about it? Could it be that we have to wait until after the autumn test?" Yuan Yin stood up, raised his head slightly, and met Xiao Rong's eyes with a serious look.

"For the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, if you are an official, you must first pay attention to qualifications and conduct. The position of Minister is the same. First of all, as far as qualifications are concerned, it is difficult for candidates after the imperial examination. Your Majesty may wish to give some advice from Dali Temple and your subordinates. In the Prison Division, select candidates who have passed the qualifications and conduct, and then submit it to the Ministry of Officials for assessment, show their political achievements, and finally make a decision." Xiao Rong's expression remained unchanged, looking directly into Yuan Yin's eyes.

Although Yuan Yin's eyes are deep now, and there is still a hint of shrewdness and calculation, but he still can't stop his sincerity and sincerity. Even if he is hostile to Xiao Rong, he hides it well, but Xiao Rong can feel it. Yuan Yin really wanted to be a good emperor, as long as he was willing to learn, Xiao Rong would teach him everything, even if he had any misunderstandings about himself, he was willing to escort the young emperor.

Yuan Yin was secretly delighted, just now he was still having a headache that the positions of Minister of Justice and Minister of Justice were now vacant, and he was worried that he would be influenced by others when he was an official, now he heard Xiao Rong give a clear implementation method, pressing on his chest The big stone seemed to have disappeared, and with a look of joy on his brows, he continued to listen to Xiao Rong telling himself the importance and implementation of choosing an official.

Seeing the joy flashing in Yuan Yin's eyes, Xiao Rong couldn't help being in a good mood, thinking that he is just a child, as long as he is happy, nothing else matters.

However, within two days, Dali Temple retrialed Qin Quan's case of using power for personal gain to buy murder.

Afterwards, Yuan Yin referred to the methods given by Xiao Rong for the selection of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Although many courtiers recommended them, most of them were not in line with Yuan Yin's wishes. The candidate for Minister of the Ministry of Justice also referred to the achievements of Dali Siqing, but how could he not select someone with qualifications and achievements.

Inside the Hall of Wende, Chang Hanyu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, waited quietly with his head bowed, only waiting for Yuan Yin to speak after reading the official memorial.

Yuan Yin flipped through the candidates in front of him, but they were all unsatisfactory, so he couldn't help asking: "Apart from these people, is there anything else?"

Chang Hanyu couldn't figure out the emperor's intention for a while, so he quickly saluted and said: "There is nothing else, one of the magistrates was recommended by Xu Taiwei, and he also has outstanding achievements in the state capital. Your Majesty can also consider it as appropriate."

"The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the prisons all over the world. All the cases in the state capitals are reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Punishment. One Qin Quan is not enough, and another one will fail. This matter must not be handled at the discretion of the situation." Yuan Yin looked awe-inspiring, not like a fifteen Chang Hanyu was a little taken aback by the six-year-old boy.

Yuan Yin put down the memorial in his hand, and suddenly thought of a person in the previous life. This person was upright and arrogant. He had tried hundreds of cases, big and small, but he never thought that he would be involved in a case and sentenced In the second year after his death, the case of this person was found out in a case-in-trial case, and after a retrial, it was found that this person was really wronged.

Later, Yuan Yin also verified his political achievements, only saying that he handled the case, and there was no unjust imprisonment. For this reason, Yuan Yin also specially ordered his hometown to build a shrine for him, and he was incensed by the world.

"Chang Aiqing, do you know Song Xian?" Yuan Yin asked quickly.

Hearing the name Yuan Yin mentioned, Chang Hanyu couldn't help being slightly stunned: "My Majesty, this person is the prison officer of Youzhou's Prison Division. I don't know what Your Majesty means?"

"Show me his political achievements." Yuan Yin said firmly.

Chang Hanyu thought for a moment, and then ordered someone to go to the Ministry of Officials to read the files and take Song Xian's political achievements for Yuan Yin to review.

In the last life, Yuan Yin lost a virtuous official due to a momentary oversight. After the rebirth, not only Yuan Yin had the chance to change the ending, but he could even change the ending of this virtuous official.

After reading the dossier, Yuan Yin immediately decreed that Song Xian, the criminal officer of Youzhou, should be appointed Minister of the Ministry of punishment, and he would take office immediately.
