Fan Zhen was transferred back to the capital, and did not enter the political affairs hall, but was in charge of the official department at the head of the six ministries, and became the lord of heaven.

To govern the country is to govern officials, how can Chai Rong not know this reason.

What's more, so many people have resigned from official positions and new people have been hired on a large scale, how many corrupt officials will there be? If you don't manage them well and let these people mess around, you will ruin the whole situation.

Who should be used, after being promoted, how to supervise, how to evaluate, whether to promote or demote, whether to reward or punish, so many things, there must be a person with a clear heart and enough prestige to be responsible.

Ye Hua privately recommended Fan Zhen to Chai Rong.

After five years as prime minister, he came back to take charge of the ministry, which can not only deter hundreds of officials, but also cause unprecedented pressure on the political affairs hall. Don't look at those ministers standing with the emperor temporarily, who knows if they will play tricks in private.

Fan Zhen is back, it's like a big mountain, pressing on their heads, you are disobedient, you don't do a good job, someone will replace you at any time.

Of course, the reverse is true for Fan Quality.

He blocked the emperor's anger for the political affairs hall, was assigned to Yecheng, and sat on a cold bench.

For more than a year, Fan Zhen has tasted the loss of power, and he is dissatisfied with several ministers.

Let him control the personnel power, even if Lao Fan is magnanimous, he will not be soft on several protégés and former officials. Chai Rong has had enough of the situation where the political affairs hall is dominant.

He wanted to support the ministry as a new pole of power and divide the authority of the government hall.

Sure enough, after Fan Zhen came to power, he showed amazing courage...... The meeting of the political hall was presided over by several ministers, and Ye Hua had a special decree from the Son of Heaven and attended the meeting.

He came early, to Ye Hua's surprise, Fan Zhen came earlier, and he sat in the position closest to the door, the farthest away from the prime minister's throne that originally belonged to him.

Lao Fan closed his eyes slightly, his waist straight, and he was there to recuperate.

Ye Hua rushed over, he raised his big eyelids, and when he saw that it was the champion Hou, he squeezed out a smile.

"Hou Ye grass snake gray line, years of hard work, finally when it is time to harvest, the old man throws himself to the ground."

Ye Hua smiled calmly, "Fan Xianggong is polite, spring planting and autumn harvest, if you don't pick it well and store it properly, the fruit will be rotten." ”

"yes!"

Fan Zhen laughed, "Master Hou, the old man is willing to help you pick the fruit, do you think?" ”

"Then it depends on Fan Xianggong's means!"

Fan Zhen didn't say anything and continued to close his eyes. This old guy is much more straightforward than before sitting on the cold bench, in the past, he always held the prime minister's shelf, and it was not easy to deal with, so setbacks make people progress!

Ye Hua crossed Erlang's legs and tasted tea, he estimated that he was going to have a good show.

It didn't take long for the four prime ministers to arrive one after another.

The former old partner, who disappeared for a year, appeared in the political hall again, who can not be embarrassed. A person with a strong personality like Wei Renpu just nodded, and sat in his place without care, but as for the other three, he was embarrassed.

"Fan Xianggong is highly respected and deserves ......"

Before Wang Pu finished speaking, Fan Zhen waved his hand, "The servant is in charge of the ministry, and he is your subordinate to the minister, if you have anything, just give orders, let's do business!" ”

Lao Fan didn't mean to change his position at all, Wang Pu and Li Gu could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

After taking his seat, Wang Pu took the lead in speaking, "Zhugong, just now Hebei Zhao Pu sent a report, Hebei's Qingzhang has been completed very well, and the people have already obtained the land and started spring ploughing. According to Zhao Pu's estimate, this year, Hebei will be able to increase more than 5 million stone of grain, not only to supply military supplies in Youzhou and other places, but also to allocate a part of it to ensure the use of the capital, this is a great achievement, how to reward, what are the opinions of the princes? ”

Wei Renpu said in a deep voice: "Zhao Pu is a great talent, he turned out to be a privy deputy envoy, the old man thinks that he should be transferred back to the capital and promoted one step higher." ”

Xue Juzheng's old face immediately fell, the surname Wei is really not a thing, one step higher, isn't it just to rob my privy envoy? Since standing with Ye Hua, you have become more and more shameless, blatant and unscrupulous!

Xue Juzheng wanted to say something, but Zhao Pu's credit was real, and he was speechless to refute it.

It was Wang Pu, who thought for a while and said: "Zhao Pu is indeed a rare talent, and he is ...... at the beginning of the country The three sides stand side by side, I think it is better to let him enter Beijing and take over the Jixian Hall of Scholars! ”

Since the time of Wu Zetian, there has been no real prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, and most of them are hanging the title of Tongping Zhangshi and doing prime minister's affairs.

Therefore, if you want to distinguish the status of the prime ministers, you should look at their bachelor titles.

If you are a scholar of Shobunkan University, you are the prime minister, and if you are a scholar of Shobunkan University and supervise the history of the country at the same time, it means that there are only two ministers, and the second minister is a scholar of Jihyenden University.

Of course, there is also a situation where the three phases stand side by side, like Fan Zhen at the beginning of the country, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu, the prime minister is a scholar of Zhaowenguan University, the second minister supervises the history of the country, and the three phases are a scholar of Jixian Palace.

Wang Pu pondered about giving the three phases to Zhao Pu, and there were many ideas in it.

Ye Hua observed silently beside him, and he knew very well in his heart.

Zhao Pu was originally a privy deputy envoy, and if he was promoted to a privy envoy, he would be able to compete with Zhongshu's subordinates without any transition and directly control the Privy Council.

Zhao Pu is not Xue Juzheng, not as soft as Lao Xue, and with the relationship between Zhao Pu and Ye Hua, he can use the power of the military to instantly become another giant who wrestles with Wang Pu.

There is already one more fan, and there is another Zhao Pu, so that Wang Puqing is embarrassed!

Wang Xianggong proposed that the three phases stand side by side, and it seems that they are all one step higher, but after entering the Zhongshu Gate, Zhao Pu needs to adapt for a while, at least for a few months, and he is not qualified to speak. And there are two prime ministers in front of him who are far more qualified than him, even if he sits firmly in the three phases, how much power he can share depends on Wang Pu's thoughts.

Why do you say that civil officials are powerful, they are powerful here.

It seems that they are all promoted and promoted, but the difference is worlds apart, and if there is no help from someone who knows how to do it, I don't know how to suffer.

Ye Hua saw it more and more clearly, no wonder in the peaceful years, martial artists couldn't fight literati, there were too many articles in between.

Fortunately, Fan Zhen was brought back, and there were some things that he should take a stand.

Sure enough, Fan Zhen spoke, "Wang Xianggong, Wei Xianggong, and Zhao Pu are certainly meritorious, but his term of office has not expired, and the officials cannot give a superior evaluation, and without a superior evaluation, he cannot be promoted...... Of course, I am not against the promotion of Zhao Pu, the meaning of the ministry is either to wait for his term of office to expire, clear the acres of land and acres, and govern the Yellow River well, get a higher evaluation, and enter the political hall openly; Or, please ask Your Majesty to issue a decree and select Zhao Pu to enter Beijing, only in this way will the court rules not be broken, what do you think? ”

Ye Hua secretly gave a thumbs up, Lao Fan had two clicks!

He is a delaying tactic, Zhao Pu is not only responsible for Qingzhang, but also to govern the river, these two are great merits, put on a person, a virtual three-phase, it is far from enough to pay for it. At that time, only the privy envoy, or the prime minister, can be worthy of Zhao Pu's credit.

As for asking Chai Rong to make a decree, this difficulty is even greater, there are still a lot of things in Hebei, and the emperor will not let Zhao Pu come back easily.

All in all, Fan Zhen easily resolved Wang Pu's plan.

This is the advantage of being a celestial official of the Ministry of Officials!

Ye Hua's Erlang legs are higher, with Lao Fan here, his people will not suffer, and several ministers will not be able to gain power, this result is very good......

So Ye Hua changed to a more comfortable position and watched their performance.

After a relatively mild discussion of remuneration, the atmosphere that followed was much more solemn.

Fan Zhen took the lead in making difficulties, "Hebei's Qingzhang results can be called the world's example, but there are still some people, patting their chests and guaranteeing, saying that before spring ploughing, Qingzhang will also be completed, but what is the result?" Less than 1,000 inferior gentry were dealt with, and only 5 million mu of land was cleared, far less than Hebei's achievements. ”

Fan Zhen set his eyes on Li Gu.

"Li Xianggong, what do you say?"

Li Gu took advantage of the old face and said: "The Qingzhang of Gyeonggi is already more difficult than Hebei, and Gyeonggi is densely populated, the first emperor was in Japan, and he issued a land grant decree and a Juntian order, and it has been disposed of against the powerful landlords. ”

"Hahaha!"

Fan Zhen laughed loudly, "What a strange theory! According to Lee Sang-gong, isn't it that the worse the political performance, the more justified it is! ”

Li Gu also widened his eyes, you are not the prime minister, what are I afraid of you doing!

"Fan Tianguan, the old man is just talking about things, don't talk about it!"

"Okay, I'll just talk about things!" Fan Zhen was-for-tat and did not back down, "According to the old man's investigation, in order to complete the clearing of the acres of land as soon as possible, you Li Xianggong transferred the officials from all over the country and asked them to go to a strange place to be responsible for the Qingzhang, do you think that in this way, you can do the bad and clean up, and everyone will do their duty, right?" ”

Li Gu said: "The old man didn't say that! But the exchange of officials does have an effect, and these five million acres are cleaned up in this way! ”

"You're wrong! This is not an effect, but a perfunctory prevarication! Fan Zhen said sharply: "The officials of the state capital near Gyeonggi also collude with each other, and some of them have even different fields and counties, and the amount is staggering. is just a reparation, but there is no careful supervision, of course, it is inevitable that the yang will be violated, and the private will be taught and received! ”

Fan Zhen said, and took out a large stack of secret reports.

"There are problems found by the embroidered messenger, and there are also secret reports sent by the supervision of the imperial history, the old man has been verified, among which there are more than a dozen magistrates, who are not wholeheartedly at all, to clear the acres of land, on the contrary, they condone and shelter, resulting in the imperial decree, become a dead letter, the old man, as a secretary of the ministry, can not go to the political hall, ask the prime minister to adjudicate this matter!"

Fan Zhen said, and sent a piece of music to Wang Pu.

"According to the rules, the ministry has the power to perform special affairs, and the old man has informed the government affairs hall, and at the same time has submitted it to His Majesty, requesting the holy ruling! I won't have to worry about it. ”

After Fan Zhen finished speaking, he turned around and strode out of the political hall.

He took a deep breath, then exhaled the turbid air from his chest with all his might, not to mention the pleasure.

The first shot is fired, let the old man preside over the ministry, he will definitely not obey orders, you see, the old man will surprise you!

"Fan Xianggong, it's really majestic, so murderous!" Ye Hua followed, smiling and praising him.

Fan Zhen clenched his fists, "The old man has just entered the capital, and he has just taken charge of the ministry, so he can get these real evidence, and he doesn't rely on the guidance of the Hou Ye!" If the Hou Ye has any orders in the future, the old man will obey everything! ”

"Don't!"

Ye Hua waved his hand, "I didn't help you, these things were made by Mrs. Chai, you have to thank him!" ”

Fan Zhen was suddenly shocked and asked, "Master Hou, the old man never said that it was Mrs. Chai who helped, how do you know?" ”

They both looked at each other and laughed again.

It's all a fox on the mountain, and of course there is no need to tell any stories about fasting.

Ye Hua instructed Chai Shouli to do these things, firstly, to avoid suspicion, and secondly, to resolve the hatred of the past...... And after Chai Shouli, it is equivalent to telling Chai Rong to avoid leaving the minister's private friendship under the pretense of making friends, and there are many benefits in one fell swoop.

Fan Zhen walked side by side with Ye Hua, and he asked, "Master Hou, is it so difficult for the Qingzhang of Gyeonggi?" ”

"Hmm!"

Ye Hua nodded, "Fan Xianggong, Li Gu used his strength, but the land around the capital is really complicated, there are relatives of the emperor and the eunuchs in the palace, all of them are great immortals, Li Gu is afraid of offending people, so he wantonly mobilized officials from other states and counties to investigate, it seems to be huge and extraordinary, but it is just in vain, scaring people, and the actual effect is very limited." ”

Fan Zhen smiled, "Li Gu is from a financial management background, and he always pays attention to seeking profit from everything, even if he is pushed to the front, this person does not have the courage to break the cauldron and break the wrist of a strong man!" ”

"Does Fan Xianggong have it?" Ye Hua asked with a smile.

Fan Zhen pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Master Hou, does the old man want to ask you if you have one?" If you have it, I'll have it! ”

"Hahaha!" Ye Hua laughed loudly, "Fan Xianggong, I won't be soft this time!" ”

Ye Hua did what he said, and the next day, in the name of co-organizing the Qingzhang Tianmu matter, he submitted a report to Chai Rong, stating all the shortcomings of Qingzhang in the Gyeonggi area, and pointing out more than a dozen officials who engaged in favoritism and fraud.

Unlike Fan Qian, Ye Hua not only came up with evidence, but also suggested that Chai Rong should peel these officials to make an example of them!

Chai Rong, who was furious, quickly agreed to Ye Hua's request, and sent an embroidered messenger to arrest all the officials involved.

After cutting off the head, he skinned the human body, stuffed it with hay, and hung it outside the yamen!

Such a thunderbolt method can not be said to be cruel, but the effect is also amazing, all the officials responsible for clearing the acres of land were shocked, and they no longer dared to cheat for personal gain, who is not afraid of being made into a human skin pillow!

……

The officialdom is like this, but Shilin is a different situation, the literati get together, all of them scold the court, regard the literati as grass mustard, clear the acres of fields, pay grain in one piece, and wantonly kill, violent methods, such a brutal emperor is comparable to a ruin!

The Central Plains is simply a hell for scholars!

In contrast, Li Hongji of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who is thirsty for talent, works hard, and cherishes scholars, that is the real Mingjun!

People with five surnames and seven sects gathered together with only one theme, that is, defecting to the Southern Tang Dynasty......
