Chapter 588: The court of the Song Dynasty had big drawbacks in terms of talents

Views:

Wang Zeng got the members of the Yizijiaozipu. After returning to the palace, he discussed with Lu Yijian, and then through the inner court, Qian Le had already dedicated the members of the Yizijiaozipu to the official family. Get out.

According to Lu Yijian, the members of Jiaozipu can be attributed to the court, not to Zhao Zhen.

But Wang Zeng knew well that the great change of Yizijiaozipu was led by Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji behind his back. He could easily get the members of Yizijiaozipu from Qianfu because Zhao Zhen nodded his head.

Since Zhao Zhen believes in him and is willing to give him the members of Yizijiaozipu, he must help Zhao Zhen to keep it. He must not let the members of Yizijiaozipu be placed in the court and let those civil and military officials go to misfortune. .

If the civil and military officials can't compete for the members of Yizijiaozipu, they will make a fuss with the members of Yizijiaozipu who are left in the court.

Either through the members of Yizi Jiaozipu, intervening in the management of Yizijiaozipu, or through the members of Yizijiaozipu in the hands of the imperial court, forcing Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji to hand over the remaining Elements.

They all do it.

There are not many saints in the court, and the benefits of Yizijiaozipu are in front of them, and they will not fail to see them.

As long as they leave a gap for them, they will definitely take action.

Even if they risked their lives to gamble, they were willing.

Therefore, the members of Yizijiaozipu must not remain in the hands of the court, and should be held by Zhao Zhen alone for public and private.

Lu Yijian was persuaded by Wang Zeng and finally gave up his idea.

After Qian Le circulated the fact that the members of Yizi Jiaozipu dedicated to the official family, the inside and outside of Bianjing City was completely sensational.

The people thought that Qian Le's brain was probably kicked by a donkey, and he was able to dedicate such a large family business.

The officials were naturally not as shallow as the people saw. What they saw was that Zhao Zhen had already begun to take back the members of Yizijiaozipu. They would not do anything, but it would be too late.

The struggle between the civil and military officials has become even more brutal.

With the help of the members of the Yizi Jiaozipu in his hand, Wang Zeng attracted a group of people and joined the battle.

The three-party competition has become more intense.

Every day officials were dismissed as a result, and every day honours were reduced to common people.

In the beginning, only officials of ranks 7 and 8 were dismissed, and at the end of the fight, officials of rank 4 and 5 were also involved.

During this period, although Zhao Zhen didn't say much or explicitly stated his position, he spoke several times and let the officials see what it means to be unpredictable.

Among the officials who were sacrificed in the struggle of the hundred officials, some officials were planted and framed by them and became a plethora of criminals. The hundred officials thought that Zhao Zhen would be outraged by thunder and dismissed him from office and sentenced him to beheaded.

However, Zhao Zhen did not act according to the thoughts of the hundreds of officials. Instead, he let go of those officials lightly, but sent them from Bianjing City to remote places as officials.

Some officials only carried some minor guilt on their backs, but Zhao Zhen severely beat them and pushed them to the guillotine when he was dismissed from office.

Zhao Zhen wanted to kill people, and he could hardly see anything in common.

The hundreds of officials subconsciously ruled out Zhao Zhen's idea of taking the opportunity to eradicate certain officials.

The hundreds of officials felt that Zhao Zhen probably wanted to take advantage of this wave to show off his presence in front of the hundreds of officials, so that the hundreds of officials could personally understand what is called the unpredictability of the king's heart, so as to condense some ruling power.

Zhao Zhen wanted to condense some reigns, and for this he laid heavy hands on some people, so they could only admit that they were unlucky.

The hundreds of officials were busy fighting for the benefits of Yizijiaozipu, but they didn't have so much time to help them complain.

Kou Ji can see the things that hundreds of officials can't see.

Among the officials that Zhao Zhen dealt with, some were dealt with by Zhao Zhen who really wanted to deal with, and some were dealt with deliberately by Zhao Zhen in order to conceal the situation.

The people that Zhao Zhen deliberately dealt with were not pedantic officials, but they were not good things either.

Therefore, when Zhao Zhen killed them, Kou Ji didn't feel wronged at all.

It's just that when an unexpected person was demoted from Bianjing by Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji was a little surprised. He hurried into the palace to understand why Zhao Zhen demoted the unexpected person from Bianjing.

When Kou Ji entered the palace, Zhao Zhen was splashing ink.

Zhao Zhen held a pen and drew a landscape map on a long piece of Chengxintang paper.

On one side of the paper, a lofty mountain peak has been drawn, and a waterfall runs through it, slowly flowing out.

On the other side of the paper, there are small dots of ink on the snow-white paper, looking very dazzling.

Kou Ji knows why Zhao Zhen put the ink on the blank place.

Because Zhao Zhen told Kou Ji privately.

Those ink spots are the ministers in the court that Zhao Zhen wants to clean up.

Zhao Zhen was afraid that he had missed someone in the process of cleaning up, but he couldn't learn Kou Ji's way and make a clear list on the mansion, so he could only replace names with ink dots.

Although the palace is much cleaner than before, it still cannot be airtight.

Zhao Zhen was afraid that he would write a list and be discovered and leaked out, so he could only use ink dots.

Zhao Zhen picked up the pen and turned an ink dot into a small tree. After the small tree blocked the ink dot, he put down the pen contentedly.

After washing his hands, he smiled and walked over to Kou Ji.

"Chen Kou Ji..."

As soon as Kou Ji was about to bow to give a salute, Zhao Zhen enthusiastically grabbed him, pulled him to the table, and pointed to Kou Ji with joy and said, "Four brothers, look, is my painting skills better than before?"

Just now Zhao Zhen was painting, Kou Ji did not bother after entering the hall, did not give courtesy, and stood quietly on the side.

Zhao Zhen stopped writing, and Kou Ji naturally had to pay tribute to Zhao Zhen in accordance with the etiquette.

It's just that Zhao Zhen obviously doesn't care about Kou Ji's politeness.

After he stopped writing, he pulled Kou Ji to comment on his paintings.

Kou Ji looked down at Zhao Zhen's paintings carefully, clicked his lips, and said insincerely: "The official painting skills are so so..."

After Zhao Zhen heard Kou Ji's words, he laughed.

Chen Lin, who helped Zhao Zhen holding the paintings, heard Kou Ji's words and curled her lips.

You can fake more...

Kou Ji's insincere expression did not hide at all.

Zhao Zhen and Chen Lin naturally saw it really.

Kou Ji was also very helpless. He was a man of fake origin and spent much longer time on painting than Zhao Zhen.

The painting that can be made is more than a star and a half worse than Zhao Zhen.

Kou Ji was reluctant to admit that he was inferior to others, nor to praise Zhao Zhen, so he could only give a general evaluation.

People from the old Zhao family are like emperors, but they are far more talented than ordinary people in calligraphy and painting.

Kou Ji didn't know what was outstanding about Emperor Taizu's Zhao Kuangyin's calligraphy and painting.

But Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi, Kou Ji knew very well what was outstanding about his calligraphy and painting.

Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi was very accomplished in calligraphy.

Excluding some people in order to flatter and imitate his Feibai, civilian officials did not criticize him for this, and history writers did not criticize him for this, which is enough to show that his calligraphy attainments are not low.

Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng's accomplishments in calligraphy are not weak. In order to show off his calligraphy to hundreds of officials, he writes poems when nothing happens, writes down his poems, writes down his poems, and passes them to the officials for appreciation.

Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng wrote a full three hundred volumes of poems in his life, and the court compiled them into a book and included them in the library of the palace.

Zhao Zhen obviously inherited the fine genes of his grandfather and father, and his talents in calligraphy and painting are extraordinary.

At a young age, the calligraphy has already revealed his talent.

It is very beautiful in one hand.

Even Kou Zhun, who doesn't like to praise the emperor very much, once praised Zhao Zhen's calligraphy in private.

Zhao Zhen did not spend too much time on painting.

But even so, his paintings already have some charm.

If Kou Ji imitated Zhao Zhen's paintings, he could imitate exactly the same, or draw some charm.

But if Kou Ji was asked to paint by himself, he couldn't draw any charm.

He is used to imitating and imitating everyone's paintings and the charm of everyone's paintings, but he can't create his own charm.

After Zhao Zhen laughed, he stared at Kou Ji with a joking expression: "I finally discovered that there is a place where I can beat the fourth brother."

Kou Ji curled his lips and said with a dry smile: "The minister is not a god, it is impossible to understand everything and be good at everything."

When Zhao Zhen heard the words, he was in a good mood, and he did not chase the dog in the water.

Zhao Zhen asked Kou Ji to sit down, ordered Chen Lin to collect the picture scroll, and smiled at Kou Ji: "Fourth brother entered the palace this time, what happened?"

Kou Ji saw that Zhao Zhen didn't mean to beat down the dog, he was a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Can you not come to see the official if you are fine?"

Zhao Zhen put away the smile on his face, and said with a slight bit of resentment: "If you really have this heart, you should stay in the palace and stay with me all the time."

Chen Lin, the old man, finished receiving the picture scroll, and heard Zhao Zhen's words, and laughed in a low voice: "If Yong Guo Gong is willing to enter the palace, our family can sue the old man and return to the hometown, and surrender all the officials in our family to Yong Guo Gong. "

Kou Ji gave Chen Lin a numb scalp and yelled: "Fuck off!"

Chen Lin smiled, not angry, and stood aside very witty.

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin again before looking at Zhao Zhen and said: "The minister should stay outside the palace. If the minister is outside the palace, he can help the official stare at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty."

A smile appeared on Zhao Zhen's face again, and he nodded and said: "Four brothers are staring at me outside the palace, I don't worry."

Kou Ji nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The minister is unclear about one thing, so please ask the official to clarify."

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji, and said dumbfounded: "You also said that you didn't enter the palace because something happened?"

Koti smiled dryly, without explaining much.

Zhao Zhen didn't chase down Kou Ji, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Brother Si?"

Kou Ji pondered: "Do the officials want to use Jia Changchao?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji slightly surprised and said, "Fourth brother cares about Jia Changchao?"

Jia Changchao's official rank is not high, and for Kou Ji today, he is a small role.

Zhao Zhen did not expect that Kou Ji would pay attention to Jia Changchao.

I didn't expect Kou Ji to visit the palace in person for a small role.

Kou Ji shook his head and said: "I don't care about it, it's just that the official wants to use this person, so he should be more cautious."

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment, and said: "Since I became the throne, this person has been serving as the attendant of the Tianzhang Pavilion. I have contacted this person several times, and I have also heard this person explain the Ming Jing.

This person is not old, but not as knowledgeable.

When I was reading the Ming Scriptures, when I encountered something I didn't understand, I asked this person for advice.

This person can speak thoroughly, much more clearly than when Xiang Gong, Wang Zeng and others gave me lectures.

I think this person is a talent, and I want to reuse him. Why is the fourth brother not optimistic about this person. "

Kou Ji said frankly: "This person's attainments in the Ming Scriptures are indeed not weak. If you gain some fame, it is not an exaggeration to be called a great Confucian. But learning is learning, and being an official is an official.

The official judgement and selection of officials cannot be based solely on knowledge.

A person with good knowledge may not be a good official. "

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Kou Ji continued: "Although my dynasty is based on learning to recruit scholars, it is not possible to appoint officials based on learning. Learning to recruit scholars is just to select good talents from among the many scholars for use by the court.

But among these good talents, who can take on the big responsibility, who can't take on the big responsibility, can no longer be measured by learning.

The reason why there are so many pedantic people and so many idle people in the court is the result of learning.

Knowledge only represents a bachelor's degree, not ability.

If the imperial court blindly counts talents by learning.

The officials of the ruling and opposition parties will emphasize learning and neglect ability.

If things go on like this, officials will only think about how to improve their knowledge, and will not think about how to help the officials govern the world, and how to make the place where they are appointed to become rich and clear.

When the Manchu dynasty, both civil and military, pursued learning, who could help the officials govern the world? "

After Zhao Zhen heard Kou Ji's words, his brows became a word for Sichuan.

Kou Ji's words are contrary to the way he has seen and felt about talent selection since he was a child.

But he did not refute Kou Ji, but listened to Kou Ji continue.

Seeing Zhao Zhen frowning, Kou Ji knew that it would be difficult to convince Zhao Zhen in empty talk. He must come up with some convincing examples.

Kou Ji thought for a while, staring at Zhao Zhen and asked: "How does the official think about this person?"

When Zhao Zhen heard this, his brow furrowed tighter, and he said solemnly: "This person is a traitor who deceives the top and the bottom."

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Does the official know that when Ding Wei first entered the official career, he was not an official who deceived his superiors."

Zhao Zhen was taken aback, and said in a uncertain tone: "I have heard a little about this person before, but I hate this person so deeply, so I haven't studied it deeply."

Kou Ji said with emotion: "The official should study this person well."

Zhao Zhen raised his brows and stared at Kou Ji without speaking.

Kou Ji refused to let him pay attention to those loyal ministers and good generals, but instead asked him to pay attention to a treacherous minister, he was a little puzzled.

In Zhao Zhen's puzzled eyes, Kou Ji continued: "Officials should not put all their eyes on those loyal ministers and good generals, but should also divide some to see those big traitors."
