Yao Wenzhi's words, whether they mean something, don't have much to do with Chen Kaizhi, he just smiled, and when the palace door opened, everyone entered the palace.

Today is a great court meeting, so it is held in the Zhengde Hall.

Chen Wuji has been promoted, even the Empress Dowager is here, Chen Kaizhi is the prince, standing at the front, the Empress Dowager seems to be in a good mood, smiling, a pair of eyes squinting gently, looking around at everyone.

After the ministers had made a big salute, Chen Wuji raised his hand lightly and said lightly: "Zhuqing, calm down." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and said with a smile to the Empress Dowager: "Imperial grandmother, what is you going to discuss today, Sun Chen, I forgot again." ”

That's a suffocating statement.

The Manchu Dynasty was dumbfounded.

But seeing that the old god was still there, the queen mother, who seemed to be at ease, her face changed suddenly, and her face was very ugly.

Her face was gloomy, and her eyes were a little cold, partial, but she didn't know what to say.

Obviously, before she came, the Empress Dowager had already instructed that since she regarded Chen Wou-Ki as her puppet, she naturally needed Chen Wou-Ki to be at her mercy.

Tell everything first, let Chen Wou-Ki remember it.

Where did you think that Chen Wuji was mostly in front of her, and he responded well, but suddenly in this hall, he turned his head and looked like he had forgotten to instruct, the Empress Dowager, what are you discussing today?

What is it?

Doesn't this clearly tell the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the Empress Dowager instructed the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager discussed politics, and it was inevitable to teach people to slander, but now there is such a sudden come, this ...... is to tell others nakedly that the empress dowager not only discussed politics, but also coerced the Son of Heaven.

She is actually ambitious, and the current Son of Heaven is her puppet.

Everyone can accept His Majesty's first ascension to the throne, and the affairs of national affairs need to rely on the Empress Dowager, but this does not mean that the Empress Dowager can hold the Son of Heaven hostage and do whatever she wants.

At least...... Sensoryly, it's hard to accept.

So the hundred officials looked at the Empress Dowager one by one dumbfounded.

The Empress Dowager Mu has just resigned from the auxiliary government, and now she is recuperating in the harem, but the Empress Dowager seems to be a little 'unwilling to be lonely', and she is too out to control the government.

What is this like?

The ministers seemed stunned.

The Empress Dowager blushed, and after a long time, she calmed down, she smiled and said, "This is a matter decided by His Majesty." ”

Obviously, this is a way to avoid suspicion, which means, Your Majesty, make up your own mind and ask the mourning family what to do.

Chen Wuji was shocked: "Very good, then, I really want to discuss the matter of King Beijing, King Beijing has made great contributions to the court, preserved the society, and made outstanding achievements, I had a dream last night, and I dreamed of Emperor Taizu Gao......"

There are signs that this is more and more outrageous, and the good court discussion has been made into a commendation meeting.

The Empress Dowager originally said that Her Majesty could say whatever she wanted, but seeing this, she knew that if she didn't interfere again, it would not end well, so she coughed: "Your Majesty, King Beijing has merit and has already been sealed." ”

Chen Wuji shook his head slightly, smiled at the Empress Dowager, and said: "In my heart, although it has been sealed, these rewards are far from being able to fill such a great achievement. ”

The Empress Dowager's face was super ugly, her brows furrowed, and she reminded Chen Wuji coldly.

"But the court is discussing a big matter."

Chen Wuji didn't think so, and said solemnly: "Erchen thinks that this is the top priority, I want to show the warrior camp and the Jinyi Guard......"

At this moment, the Empress Dowager obviously knew that this Chen Wuji was sincerely trying to make trouble, and couldn't help but say with a straight face: "Your Majesty, what I want to discuss today is to seek talent!" ”

Her slightly scolding tone made the hall silent.

The Empress Dowager knew that what she was going to discuss today was to seek talent, but she couldn't say it, she had to let Chen Wou-Ki say it, but Chen Wou-Ki 'forgot', originally, she still wanted a fig leaf, Chen Wou-Ki asked her what she was discussing today, the Empress Dowager was in the astonishment of the officials, and still said that His Majesty decided by himself, but now, at last, she couldn't help it, and directly pierced the last layer of window paper.

This means that His Majesty is the puppet of the mourning family, yes.

Now everything is the Empress Dowager's opinion, and it has nothing to do with him, the emperor.

All the civil and military officials were silent.

Although they know what's going on in their hearts, they don't dare to stand up and anger the Empress Dowager, but in their hearts, they still have a little bit of resistance, even the Empress Dowager's people, most of them feel that the Empress Dowager's words are a bit exaggerated, and His Majesty is the Son of Heaven who inherits the order of his ancestors, and since he has ascended the throne, that is where the Mandate of Heaven lies, but such undisguised control, if it is spread out, it will inevitably be discouraged.

At this time, Chen Wuji didn't contradict it, he was busy and suddenly realized: "I remember, the imperial grandmother has already explained, asking for virtuous, yes, today's discussion is to seek talent." ”

He didn't go against the Queen Mother, and after a small pit, he turned around very skillfully, looking like he was bowing down to the Queen Mother.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't laugh or cry at him, although Wuji was trained by others, but the atmosphere of the market is still the same, this guy is very slippery.

He held back his laughter, at the beginning, the embarrassment that Wuji caused to the Empress Dowager, although it provoked the anger of the Empress Dowager, but then he did not hesitate to express his obedience, even if he embarrassed the Empress Dowager, but gave himself a step.

In this way, it seems that he is just misremembering, and he is not deliberately trying to make trouble, but he tells everyone that he is just a puppet, and the queen mother has huge ambitions. If there is anything inappropriate, it has absolutely nothing to do with him, it is all the Empress Dowager's idea.

Chen Kaizhi secretly observed the hundred officials, among the hundred officials, although most of them bowed their heads, there were obviously people who showed resentment, and they were a little dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager, the emperor was already an adult, and the Empress Dowager held the Son of Heaven hostage like this, what was her intention?

At this time, Chen Wuji took care of the case and said sharply: "Yes, you should seek talents, I have just ascended to the great treasure, I intend to seek talents, I want to issue an order to seek talents, so that virtuous people can enter the court to assist in the government, what does Yao Qing's family think about this?" ”

Yao Wenzhi's face was calm, and he slowly came out: "Your Majesty is thirsty for talent, which is really the luck of all the people......"

"The minister objected." At this time, someone stood up, it was Chen Yishou, Chen Yishou was provoked by the scene of Fang Cai, he stood up at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has already taken the imperial examination, and the imperial examination seeks talents. As soon as this example is opened, it is true that some people in the opposition can be made into the court and officials, but what is the standard for talents? ”

He said angrily: "The standard of this virtuous person cannot be measured, just like the Han Dynasty, there is also a method of filial piety and honesty, but it is precisely because the standard cannot be unified, so that the real virtuous talent, put an end to outside the temple, but most of them are local heroes, buy through the relationship, and can enter the court as an official in this way, the most important, the so-called seeking talent, but instead become a buy and sell official, this case is opened, it is very likely to be the beginning of the erosion of the official rule." ”

"Therefore, the minister implores His Majesty to retract his fate, it is better to seek merit than to Gyanke, although the imperial examination also has drawbacks, but at least it can be fair and just. If you are looking for talent, you will inevitably need to be recommended, and if the person who recommends you loses her public heart and has selfish righteousness, it will inevitably corrupt the dynasty, please think twice. ”

The hall was silent.

Chen Wuji has an indifferent attitude, anyway, seeking talent is what the Empress Dowager wants, this must be in her heart, she has long wanted to arrange a group of people to enter the court as officials, but if she relies on the way of the imperial examination, she may not be sure, so she simply opened up a shortcut, just like the Duke of Shunguo, I was like this, and directly for the reason of great merit, I sealed the title of the Duke of the Kingdom, and the Empress Dowager wanted to use this to appoint a private person, what does it have to do with herself?

Now that some people are against it, he can't ask for it.

"The minister is also against it." Chen Kaizhi slowly stood up, if it weren't for Chen Yishou, Chen Kaizhi might not be willing to stand up, not that he was afraid, but he knew in his heart that these things might not be able to stop the Queen Mother, since he couldn't stop it, why bother, but Chen Yishou stood up, but Chen Kaizhi felt admiration in his heart, and he slowly came out.

"The court seeks talents, it must be fair and just, if not, it is inevitable that the world will be criticized, when Emperor Taizu Gao was there, because the world was initially decided, so there was a merit-seeking order, but after the imperial examination gradually prospered, the merit-seeking order was useless, and now it is necessary to open the merit-seeking order, I am afraid that it is not what the scholars want, and the minister also implores His Majesty to think twice."

The eyes of all the officials looked at the Empress Dowager.

Since His Majesty refuses to answer, the Empress Dowager must always respond.

The Empress Dowager was not angry, she smiled faintly, and the whole person looked very calm and indifferent: "The words of Bachelor Chen and King Beijing are not unreasonable. ”

She didn't refute it in court, but continued to say euphemistically: "The two of you are really seeking the country, but now that Your Majesty has first ascended to the throne, many ministers have been involved in the case of King Zhao's rebellion, so that there are many vacancies in the court. ”

"If in the past, it would be okay to let it go freely, but now, the court is waiting to be lifted, it is the time to get rid of the old evils and revitalize the dynasty, isn't it a good thing to seek talent at this time?"

She immediately glanced around at everyone before she spoke again: "The issuance of the order to seek merit, not any conflict with the imperial examination, the imperial court wants to recruit the world's talents, it is necessary to take a two-pronged approach, for example, there was a gentleman back then, this person was highly talented, his articles, and even on the heavenly list of the heavenly people, such a person, compared to the talent of the imperial examination, in the heart of the mourning family, is more than a hundred times and a thousand times stronger, but what, but because he has never participated in the imperial examination, he is not allowed to enter the court as an official, what a big loss for the imperial court?" ”
