Wei and Jin cooks

Of course Zhao Hanzhang also knew this, so she agreed with Zhao Shen's point of view. This time, she wanted to station troops on a large scale, and she needed someone who understood her to execute it.

Zhao Shen is currently the best candidate.

Zhao Shen suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Shouldn't I order the product?"

Zhao Hanzhang said calmly: "The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System has long existed in name only in my place, and it will disappear in name soon."

Zhao Shen felt unspeakably complicated in his heart and asked, "What about the talent recruitment exam? Doesn't the general want me to take part?"

Zhao Hanzhang laughed loudly after hearing this and said to him: "If cousin Shen wants to give it a try, I will issue a recruitment order before the year and order all localities to hold a recruitment order in the state capital next spring. After selecting the talents, Send it to Luoyang, where it will be tested again in the autumn."

"However, I don't think you need to prove yourself with cousin Shen's abilities. I have already seen your abilities."

Zhao Shen's breathing was slightly rapid and his eyes were slightly moist. He stood up and kissed her deeply, "How dare Shen disobey?"

Zhao Hanzhang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and waved: "Cousin Shen, go back and prepare. We will prepare to move to Luoyang on a good day."

Zhao Shen bowed and stepped back, walked out of the door and took a deep breath. He felt refreshed. It was obviously late autumn, but he felt that the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers.

He couldn't help but grin, swung his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, and walked home with long strides.

There were many pedestrians on the road. These two streets were inhabited by high-ranking officials and generals, and more than half of them were moving to Luoyang with Zhao Hanzhang. The young and strong men in the city heard the news and came here to find work.

There were a group of strong men standing under the wall. Soon a servant opened the door and came out. He glanced at it, clapped his hands and shouted: "We need ten strong men to move the heavy object. Twenty coins a day, who will come?"

The people squatting under the wall immediately swarmed up, raising their hands and shouting "Me, me, me...".

The proud Zhao Shen was bumped on the shoulder, staggered twice, and was almost drowned by the crowd.

His chief, Da'an, helped him, and while holding his hand and squeezing him out, he muttered, "I don't know what you are so proud of. As soon as you come out, you look up to the sky. Mortals like us can't even enter you." With so many people in front of you, you still dig in. Isn’t this looking for a collision?”

Zhao Shen was rescued. He held up the jade crown and stopped Daan: "Shut up. If you keep nagging me, I will punish you not to speak for ten days."

Daan immediately closed his mouth, but the expression on his face was very rich. Zhao Shen only regretted that he was too smart to understand his expression, so he turned his face away from him, "Your face is too noisy, the expression Take it too, or I will punish you by not being able to speak for ten days."

Da'an couldn't take a breath and almost lost his breath.

Zhao Shen happily went back and told his father, "Father, I am now the minister."

The minister of the Ministry of War was almost on an equal footing with the governor of a state. Zhao Shen just removed this position, which was equivalent to being on an equal footing with his father.

After hearing this, Zhao Ming raised his head and looked at him, nodded and said: "Very good, it seems that you really like raising soldiers. Now you are responsible for the food, grass and training of the entire world's soldiers and horses. You should be happy, right?"

What fun is there in raising a mere thousand people?

Zhao Shen came back to his senses and almost couldn't breathe. The joy in his heart disappeared for a while, but he comforted himself again after a while.

He couldn't think further according to his father's words. He had to think according to his original thoughts, "You don't have to determine the quality, regardless of family background, but use talents based on their ability and moral character. Don't the nobles in the world have any objections?"

Zhao Ming said: "The world is in chaos. The generals control the army. They have to hold back their opinions."

"But now that the war has ended, the world is temporarily stable. I'm afraid..." Zhao Shen lowered his voice and said: "In addition, the emperor is young, and the struggle for imperial power is inevitable. Will the recruitment examination completely replace the nine-level Zhongzheng system? ?”

Zhao Ming raised the corner of his mouth and asked: "So you think the recruitment examination is better than the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system?"

Zhao Shen said: "If it is determined, based on my Zhao family background, the best I can do is to be the county governor. My father... being the governor of Shangzhou is already beyond his reach."

That's how fucked it is. The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System limits the highest height a person can reach when entering the officialdom. It's not because you have no talent, but because your family background only goes so far.

"You still think this way, let alone others?" Zhao Ming said: "There are as many scholars in the world who benefit from the recruitment examination, and there will be as many people who oppose returning to the nine-grade Zhongzheng system."

He said: "There are only a few people who can judge the rank of prime minister and earn the first rank of salary. However, there are countless scholars who are confident that they have talents in the world and can use their talents to become marquises and prime ministers. Therefore, even if there are opponents, as long as the military power is mainly controlled by No one can twist her in the hands of the general."

Zhao Shen thought about it and it was true.

Judging from Zhao Hanzhang's current arrangements, she is well aware of this, so she puts all the military power she can gather in her own hands.

Zhao Hanzhang not only placed military power in the hands of his own people, but also political power.

Before they set off, her edicts, oh, no, the edicts she signed on behalf of the young emperor came out one after another. She appointed Ming Yu as the Secretary of the Central Committee, Ji Yuan as the Minister of the Secretariat, and Fu Tinghan as the Secretary of the Secretariat. , which is equivalent to the three giants among the hundred officials being her confidants.

She is so domineering that even the former King of East China Sea is inferior to her.

When the King of Donghai was in power, although there were many ministers in the court who served as his confidants, there were still ministers such as Wang Yan and Gou Xi who were left behind by the late emperor and were not completely obedient to the King of Donghai.

But now, the previous officials of the imperial court have been purged over and over again, and those who are still alive and serving in the imperial court can be counted in two slaps.

At this time, I took a look and found that most of the court officials were promoted and appointed by Zhao Hanzhang, not to mention Ji Yuan Mingyu and his like. They were Zhao Hanzhang's staff before, okay?

With the appointment letter, even the little emperor who was not very involved in affairs was forced to come to Zhao Hanzhang to express his objections.

Zhao Hanzhang put the approved envelope aside casually, reached for a new one, looked up at him, smiled and asked, "Who invited your majesty to be a lobbyist?"

The little emperor clenched his fists nervously and whispered: "Yes, it's my own idea. It's true that Ji Yuan and Ming Yu's status is too low, they are just from humble families, but they suddenly jumped to become Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong, I'm afraid Everyone in the world will be dissatisfied."

Then he whispered: "What's more, Fu Zhi is Zhongshu. Although Fu Zhongshu is far away in Yongzhou, the late emperor did not remove him from his official position."

Zhao Hanzhang chuckled and said: "Ji Yuan and Ming Yu followed me in the southern and northern wars and took great credit. Everyone in the world knows this. How can they not accept it? As for family background, I choose talents regardless of family background, only talent and virtue."

"Fu Zhongshu is a good official, but he is so busy with Yongzhou affairs that he really can't find time to deal with the affairs of the DPRK." Zhao Hanzhang said lightly: "Your Majesty can do without Ji Yuan and Ming Yu, but there are so many twists and turns that I can't handle. Why don't your majesty take some of them over? As long as you and I can handle the government affairs well, so what if we don't establish the order of Zhongshu Ling and his servants?"

See you tomorrow
