Han Shizu

Chapter 1510 There are also discarded talents in the dynasty

Tong Shi was ordered to leave, and Zhao Pu couldn't help sighing softly. He still couldn't help thinking about some matters related to the Lingnan Pearl Digging Case. Obviously, he still didn't give up his thoughts on the follow-up policy of this matter.

Just because it is inconvenient to solve it now does not mean that changes cannot be made in the future, and we will have to speak up when we find an opportunity.At least, judging from the previous communication with Emperor Liu on this matter, Emperor Liu's attitude is somewhat relaxed.

Although Zhao Pu has always been catering to Emperor Liu, as the prime minister of the dynasty, he is not only an echo of Emperor Liu, but also a very independent person. Still very persistent.Without these qualities, it is impossible for him to preside over the revision and implementation of national policies in recent years.

Of course, sighs are always inevitable.He, Zhao Pu, can be regarded as the most powerful prime minister in the past 25 years. When Emperor Liu was involved.

However, none of these can shake Zhao Pu's mind. He has been in office for many years and has been immersed in politics for a long time, and he has a relatively thorough understanding of the word power.

Even the imperial power is not infinite, even with the power of Emperor Liu, it is inevitable to worry about governing the country, let alone Zhao Pu.If he can conduct politics completely according to his own wishes, then he is not just the prime minister, but the minister of power.

Emperor Liu has already given him a huge political stage, allowing him to enter the room, display his talents to the fullest, and realize his ambitions. This is already rare, and he should be satisfied.

"Master!"

A familiar voice sounded, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a not-so-tall figure. It was Pan You, a member of Zhongshushe.

Pan You is very recognizable, and that face is also very recognizable, because it is ugly, and he is probably the ugliest in the central department of the big man. Therefore, Pan You has a great reputation, even if it is negative .

The great man's thinking in selecting officials and employing people is based on merit and appointment, regardless of background, and appearance is not the main criterion.However, that is only an idealized state after all. As far as the bureaucrats of the big Han are concerned, it can be said with certainty that at least half of the appointment of officials is based on their background.

As for the appearance, although it is not within the express standard for the selection of officials by the imperial court, the people who select the candidates will have a bias in their hearts.Judging people by their appearance is not worth advocating, but this is indeed the norm in the world. It is also human nature to hate beauty and hate ugliness. In the selection of officials, good looks are also an advantage.

Perhaps there is no lack of people who are more than golden and jade, but ugly people always need to put in more effort to gain recognition. Unless they are amazing and stunning to a certain extent, enough to dispel the almost instinctive prejudice of others, ugly people will always live. Hard.

In the imperial court of the big man, not to mention that everyone is a handsome man with extraordinary bearing, but there are indeed not many ugly men.And like Pan You, there is only one person who is so ugly, fresh and refined, and unique.

At the same time, because Pan You was born as a vassal in the south of the Yangtze River, he was not the mainstream of the power center of the Han Dynasty and belonged to a group that was excluded, so he was naturally more likely to be despised.

And even in this way, he was still able to walk in the Zhengshitang, close to the power center of the big man, which can also prove his extraordinary.

There are two things that make him extraordinary. One is that he has a certain amount of talent and learning; the other is that he has met nobles one after another. First, he was recommended by Han Xizai before his death, and then promoted by Zhao Pu.

Inside the imperial court, there are often many factions, and Pan You belongs to two factions, one is the Jiangnan faction, this background will never get rid of, and the other is the reformist, he has unique insights into current affairs, people's livelihood, national conditions and systems, and Formed his own political thought and put forward his own reform proposals.

The more than 20 years that Emperor Liu has been in the country has been an era of great change. The court has also undergone many reforms, even in the Kaibao era. The country's major policies are always changing.

Talents like Pan You, normally speaking, have a place to play, and may even be reused.But the fact is exactly the opposite. Not only did Pan You not be recognized and valued, but he became increasingly alienated and ignored.

It's not because of his well-known ugly face, after all, Emperor Liu is a person who is out of vulgar tastes, and judging popularity by appearance is not his style.

If you want to explain, you can only say that Pan Yousheng is out of season.The major political policies of the imperial court and every reform and innovation of the great man were all carried out with the approval of Emperor Liu.

How to change, how to change, and how to implement, are all checked by Emperor Liu, and responsible for the specific implementation, there are capable ministers such as Zhao Pu, and it is not just a mere Pan You who can dictate.

And Pan You had reform ideas and policy ideas, but his ideas were not approved by Emperor Liu.He pointed out that implementing reforms in accordance with the Zhou rituals is completely contrary to Emperor Liu's thoughts on governing the country.

It is undeniable that the Zhou rites in ancient times contained some concepts of governing the country and political thinking, which will never be outdated and have strong vitality. Many reformers in later generations also carried out reforms in the name of Zhou rites, such as Wang Mang and Yu Wenyong Wait.

Even in today's great Han, among these many systems, there are a large number of ideologies that have evolved over thousands of years on the basis of Zhou Rites.However, Pan You's proposition did not suit Emperor Liu's wishes after all.

Zhou's ideology of integrating Confucianism with Confucianism and law, and morality as the mainstay of punishment, was not acceptable to Emperor Liu.Although Emperor Liu himself is detached and above the ritual and legal system, what he has always insisted on is that the legal system is the foundation, and the punishment is the main and the virtue is the auxiliary.

What Emperor Liu hopes is that everyone will follow the rules and abide by the legal system of the Great Han. Everyone will play their respective roles in the social management system of the Great Han.

Regarding this point, Pan You obviously failed to comprehend it, which also meant that it was difficult for him to be reused.And some of the specific policies he put forward, such as restoring well fields and buying cattle registrations according to Zhou rituals, are even more reversing the trend of history. Not to mention the opposition from the imperial court, it is difficult to gain approval even among the people, and there is no ground for implementation at all.

In addition, Pan You has a withdrawn personality, which is probably the inevitable influence of growing up with white eyes and ridicule. Whether it is discussing politics or admonishing, he is too upright and fierce, which is really unpleasant.

In the past, there were quite a few people who dared to remonstrate directly with Emperor Liu. Most of the time, Emperor Liu readily accepted it, even if he did not accept it, he just laughed it off.

However, the one who scored the winner, and which green onion Pan You was, how could he be treated extra leniently by Emperor Liu?In fact, if it weren't for Zhao Pu's promotion, it would have been impossible for Pan You to be promoted to the position of Zhongshu Sheren.

As for what Zhao Pu appreciates about Pan You, perhaps only Zhao Pu himself knows.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Pu looked at Pan You peacefully, not affected by his ugliness at all, no matter how ugly a person is, he gets used to it after seeing too much.

Pan You also looked normal, and presented a memorial respectfully, and said: "This is a document about the purchase of medicinal materials for epidemic prevention from the people. The official has already drafted it. Please read it!"

At present, the main problem in the Central Plains’ fight against the epidemic lies in medicine. The shortage of medicinal materials is obvious, and it is not enough to rely solely on the imperial court’s drug supervision and dispatch supply. Therefore, the central government decided to allocate funds and began to purchase from the private sector on a large scale Various medicinal materials.

In the camp, the 230 million coins were carried, not for Emperor Liu's tour, but for disaster relief.Since the flood, the government has allocated more than [-] million yuan in disaster relief and relief.

Although he believes in Pan You's ability to create, Pan You has never made any mistakes in this aspect during his tenure in the center.However, Zhao Pu still took it, and after reading it carefully, he smiled and ordered to use the seal.

"It can be released!" Zhao Pu looked at Pan You and said, "As for the money, it will be drawn from the special fund for the business!"

"Yes!"

"Go ahead!"

"Xianggong!" Pan You stopped still, and called again softly.

Zhao Pu's attention was caught, looking at him, his attitude was still gentle, and he said, "What else is there?"

"I have a request from you." Pan You opened his mouth, he seemed a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice.

"Is there any embarrassment? It's okay to speak up!" Zhao Pu said.

Pan You took a deep breath, solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Master, the candidate for Puzhou magistrate is still undecided!"

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows and said, "We're still deliberating, but it's time to decide. The disaster over there is not serious. There is no one in charge, and we can't always rely on the assistants to take care of the emergency. Why, do you have someone to recommend? "

Pan You said seriously: "Master Hui, I want to try it!"

"Oh?" Zhao Pu was really surprised at this time, and his eyes also showed a bit of scrutiny: "You have a position where you are a person, but there are many people staring at you. Go to the center and go to the place. This choice is even more important. Rare, why do you have such an idea?"

Pan You sighed and said: "The imperial edict is not the director of the subordinate officials, and there is no use for it. The subordinate officials would rather go to Puzhou and do some practical things for the people!"

It was Zhao Pu, and it would be unbearable for another person to hear what Pan You said.Zhongshu Sheren, mastering the secrets of the court, what an important position this is, in Pan You's mouth, it seems to be a matter of retreat, and this is what he advocates for promotion.

"Have you made up your mind?" Zhao Pu didn't continue to ask why, but he understood the reason in his heart, pondered for a while, and asked.

"If Xianggong doesn't think that the lower officials are contemptible, I hope it will be done!" Pan You said.

"Pan You is probably the one who wants to be an official to this old man!" Zhao Pu sighed lightly, half-jokingly.

"The kindness of Xianggong's promotion will never be forgotten by the lower officials!" Pan You said.

"Okay, I use you, and what I value is your talent! You are very assertive, but this personality alone is too strong!" Zhao Pu sighed.

"Natural nature is hard to change, it's embarrassing for Mr. Pan!" Pan You said.

"You go down first, the old man will consider this matter!" Zhao Pu didn't agree, nor refused.

Seeing this, Pan You looked anxious, and wanted to say something more, but Zhao Pu stopped him with a look.As for his performance, Zhao Pu was somewhat disappointed, and at the same time, he also felt inexplicably relaxed.

This Pan You is still not suitable to be an official in today's imperial court, that is to say, he is a person who can do things. Otherwise, Zhao Pu would have swept away his ability to observe words and deeds.

But after all, he is a person who has been promoted by himself, no matter what, he must always support him.Before that, he might have been worried that if something happened to Pan You, he would be implicated.

Now that he asked himself to take up the position, it would be a good choice, at least, the position is not as eye-catching as in the center, and it is easy to be targeted by others.
