Chapter 868: From simplicity to complexity, to replace the fifth duke
Seeing the two old ministers deflated, Liu Xing secretly felt happy in his heart. After the joy, Liu Xing once again took up the edict and read out the second batch of canonization lists aloud.
As soon as the second batch of canonization lists was read out, the audience was immediately noisy, because many of the people who were canonized in this second batch were not able to attend this worship ceremony.
So who's on this list? They are the hereditary recumbency and third-class Qin Guogong of the general Yang Yizhong of the expedition to the north, the hereditary recumbent of the third-class Qin Guogong of the Zhengdong General Wu Jujin and the third-class Qi Guogong, and the governor of the Li Fan Yuan and the second assistant of the cabinet Ma Kuojia to the hereditary recumbent and third-class Shu Guogong.
As soon as the three third-class dukes read it out, almost everyone present had an idea in their hearts: The merits of these three people are high, but they are not as high as Liu Xing and Zong Ze. So what titles should Liu Xing and Zong Ze give?
It was precisely because of the speculation that Liu Xing and Zong Ze should be titled that the field was noisy for a while again, and finally Liu Xing was swept away by a cold glance.
When the noise stopped, Zhao Zhen took two steps forward and said loudly: "Taishi Zong Ze helped save the sky and save my Great Song Dynasty when he was about to die." The meritorious service is unparalleled, assisting in the innovation of the new law, and the merit is immeasurable. Today, I inherit the will of heaven and obey all the people, and canonize Zongze as a hereditary replacement, a first-class national prince. ”
"Boom ......"
As soon as the emperor finished his announcement, there was a whispering noise in the audience again. Liu Xing's eyes were cold and he glanced at it again, so that the noise started and quickly stopped.
Seeing that Liu Xing stopped the noise in the field with his eyes three times in a row, Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, and when he spoke again, he turned to face Liu Xing: "Taifu Liu Xingli has become a matter of saving the sky, saving Sheji, recovering rivers and mountains, destroying Western Xia, and leveling the Quartet." The meritorious service is unparalleled in the world, and the main promotion of the new law is even more meritorious. Today, I inherit the will of heaven and obey all the people, and canonize Liu Xing as a hereditary repudiation and a certain Yasukuni duke. ”

There is not a single fool who can sit in this room today, so naturally no one dares to openly question or refute and question Liu Xing's words.
Seeing that no one dared to come out and talk nonsense, Liu Xing didn't say much, and turned around directly and said loudly to Zhao Zhen, who was in a conscious state after taking the medicine behind him: "Your Majesty, please come forward to issue a seal ribbon and a power of attorney to Prince Jiuwei!" ”
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he smiled slightly, got up without saying a word, and walked to Liu Xing's side excitedly. Before he could stand still, the nine princes either stepped forward on their own or with the support of their entourage, and stood in a row with their heads bowed together.
Three days ago, Zhao Zhen had been pulled by Zhao Ding and Yang Shi, and recited a set of words written for him by the two in the palace.
However, when Zhao Zhen issued seals and letters of authority to the nine princes, Zhao Zhen first looked at Liu Xing, and then ended the canonization of the princes with a very short words of encouragement.
Seeing Zhao Zhen go from simple to complex, Liu Xing smiled with relief, but Zhao Ding and Yang Shi on the side were stunned.
Just when the two guys were stunned, Liu Xing stepped forward to support Zhao Zhen and said loudly: "The Son of Heaven is wise, from simplicity to complexity, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and it should be self-effective." I hope that from now on, no matter who or when making decisions and discussions on official matters, they will no longer engage in 10,000 words or 1,000 words at every turn. Only by advocating simplicity, frugality, and efficiency can we accelerate the process of in-depth innovation. ”
"Yes, advocating simplicity, advocating frugality, advocating efficiency. Taifu's words are exactly what I want, and I hope that all the local officials in the court will abide by them, and never use their efforts on those excessively long official documents. Zhao Zhen, who had taken Liu Xing's special medicine for him, immediately echoed in a loud voice after Liu Xing's words, and then glanced sideways at Zhao Ding and Yang Shi.
Yang Shi and Zhao Ding saw that there was a wicked smile hidden in the emperor's eyes, and they saw Liu Xing looking at them expressionlessly and unusually coldly, and the two of them hurriedly lowered their heads.
didn't dare to look at a pair of monarchs and ministers, but when the two of them lowered their heads, they secretly thought in their hearts at the same time: It's over! Mrs. Liu, what is this going to do? From simplicity to complexity, in the future, the words of the sages will not be able to be practiced in the official documents, and the sages will be discarded......
The reason why Confucianism has been the biggest mainstream of official careers since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is that they adapted to the preferences of those in power for elegant style, and always wrote official texts with those crepe, sour, ornate, but often empty rhetoric.
Now Liu Xingxian said, Zhao Zhen agreed and affirmed, and the two of them together said the decision to go from simple to complex. This is tantamount to making Confucian scholars give up the ability that only they are good at, and from then on they can only talk and do things to get closer to those small people in the market.
And there is no need to use those Confucian scholars are good at writing official documents, as long as there is talent and opportunity, the promotion of small people into the court to be an official will first go to the official document to avoid an obstacle.
This is Zhao Ding and Yang Shi's helplessness, and it is also the biggest reason why Liu Xing wants to take this opportunity to set this new rule. Because among the businessmen in the audience, among the more than 300 people, there are definitely no more than 30% of them who can really write good articles and official documents.
If this stereotype is not changed, I am afraid that in the future, those new lords will become the focus of ridicule of the Confucian officials in the court, and then Liu Xing's first assistant will be more or less affected by that situation and his majesty will be damaged......

For the foundation of the country, the cornerstone of the country is talent, is the royal family, Liu Xing's words are understandable, but the mystery in the words is "for the Ming Zhengzhi".
Whose ambition is Ming? Liu Xing is announcing the world and his own aspirations, and he is telling the people of the whole world: The young master is not in the mood to learn from Cao Mengde and Sima Zhao to usurp his Zhao family. The master's ambition is not to usurp the country, and today he is here to tell the whole world clearly through the act of canonizing the ninth prince......
Who dares to have an opinion, even Hu Anguo, who is sitting on the high platform, has learned to be obedient and obey Liu Xing's arrangement in everything recently, and no longer dares to come to disagree with Liu Xing, and began to seek to ease the relationship between master and apprentice.
In this form and on this occasion, whoever wants to jump out to contradict Liu Xing and question it, no matter how stupid people are, they know that his end will not be as good as that of Hu Anguo.
As soon as the ceremony is over, perhaps the front foot of the disobedient person will return home, and the back foot of the military intelligence department will rush into his home and send him a whole family to prison, and then he will be found guilty of any crime, and he will be assigned at least and his head will be cut off at worst.
