Han Shizu

Chapter 1800 Kou Laoxi's first remonstrance

The efficiency of the Imperial City Secretary is still very high, but within half a day, he returned to the palace to return to his orders.

As he got older, he couldn't sleep enough, woke up early, got up early, but on this day, Emperor Liu had a rare late sleep, and didn't get up until the sun was high before getting up to clean up.

When Wang Jien arrived at the Chuigong Hall, Emperor Liu was basking in the sun in front of the hall again, drowsy, but on the small case next to the recliner, there were some memorials symbolically placed, all of which were remonstrance chapters. It is better to send it to the Political Affairs Hall first, so as to avoid "mistakes" by Emperor Liu.

"That's all?" After reading Wang Jien's report, Emperor Liu glanced at him and asked, with a little regret in his tone.

In Wang Jien's memorial, he recorded in detail the reactions of the officials and ministers when Emperor Liu was hangover last night, but if there were any problems in it, it was only the ministers who were concerned about Emperor Liu.

People with high status know how to measure, and ordinary people, in the current atmosphere of the Han court, dare to recklessly disobey officials, and it is really rare.

"Don't dare to lie to the officials!" Facing Emperor Liu's question, Wang Jien hesitated, and said in a low voice. In this matter, he was still cautious, and he didn't dare to add fuel and vinegar to avoid backlash.

"The crown prince and all the kings are my princes, and the prime ministers are my thighs. They can't stay here to show their care, which is a manifestation of loyalty. What about the others?" Emperor Liu muttered there.

Hearing this, Wang Jien thought to himself, the others are also your courtiers
However, probably the bright sunshine brought a lot of warmth and light to Emperor Liu, and the hostility in his heart also dissipated a lot. After all, he suppressed his thoughts and did not intend to make a fuss about this matter.

Passing the memorial in his hand to his side, Chong Yantuo ordered: "People care about me, and I can't say nothing. Everyone on the list recorded above will be rewarded, and each person will have ten strings. Let's show your heart!"

"Yes!"

"Get back!" Emperor Liu said calmly after glancing at Wang Jien.

"Little one, leave!"

Wang Jien left respectfully, and Emperor Liu habitually looked at his back with calm eyes, even indifferent.Wang Jien is indeed relatively easy to use, and has always been a sharp knife in the hands of Emperor Liu.

However, these years, this person's selfishness has become more and more serious, and he has enjoyed it more and more. He had a close relationship with Zhao Pu back then. Although Emperor Liu put it down gently in the end, Emperor Liu will always remember this matter. .

Unlike Wu Desi, who has been rectified several times, although Emperor Liu, the imperial city department, has made some actions and mixed some sand, he has never made a big move.Now, with the change of Emperor Liu's mentality, he obviously has another idea about the Imperial City Secretary.

Dethroning is impossible, but rectification is also necessary, and the Imperial City Division will not be anything special.But for the real effect to be achieved, the first to bear the brunt is precisely the Imperial City Envoy who formed the Imperial City Division and has been re-elected for more than 20 years.

Slowly regaining his composure from meditation, Emperor Liu smiled lightly, picked up a memorial on the small case and flipped through it. To some surprise, it was Kou Zhun's remonstrance.

In the previous final ranking of the palace examination, after a comprehensive evaluation, Kou Zhun was selected as the second place in the palace examination, taking the second place, and the number one was taken away by Bohai scholar Hu Dan.

The reason is also very realistic. Hu Dan is older, has a greater reputation, has a richer resume, and is equally outstanding in talent and learning. In comparison, Kou Zhun is really too young. Kaibao 23 years
After the Qionglin Banquet, the people who were enrolled in the current department were also quickly arranged, and Kou Zhixin was assigned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate as a "trainee censor".And this letter of remonstrance was submitted two days ago, and it was only found by Emperor Liu today.

Emperor Liu had some impressions of "Kou Laoxi", so he was also a little curious, wanting to see what Kou Zhun, who had just entered the court, said in the first remonstrance that Datian listened to.

After browsing for a while, Emperor Liu's relaxed expression disappeared, and his brows were even gradually furrowed, which made Yan Tuo, who was watching, tremble with fear.He cursed secretly in his heart, which ignorant speech officer said something arrogant and offended the officials.

"Go, call me that Kou Zhun!"

Kou Zhun?Yan Tuo was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, and hurriedly said: "Yes!"

During the rest period of the Jiaqing Festival, all the ministries of the imperial court, except for the necessary personnel on duty, are mostly on vacation.However, Jinshi like Kou Zhun, who had just been admitted to the official position, naturally performed a lot, staying in the yamen and learning from his senior colleagues.Vacations are a luxury for them.

Of course, when the servants sent by Yantuo arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate and summoned Kou Zhun, they naturally found him easily. Kou Zhun was neither surprised nor surprised when Emperor Liu summoned him. Those colleagues who entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate at the same time as him were envious and jealous.

For some ministers, seeing Emperor Liu was a terrifying thing, but for these young officials who had not been baptized in the big dye vat of the imperial court, it was extremely lucky.

Emperor Liu was well versed in the way of lying flat. When Kou Zhun came to the imperial court in a hurry, he was still huddled in the reclining chair, but with a canopy propped on his head.

"My little minister, Kou Zhun, see Your Majesty!" Kou Zhun bowed respectfully, glancing carefully at Emperor Liu.

This was Kou Zhun's first meeting with Emperor Liu, and Emperor Liu didn't show up no matter whether it was the palace examination or the Qionglin Banquet. As for the Jiaqing birthday banquet last night, he was not qualified to attend the palace.

Emperor Liu seemed to wake up, looking at Kou Zhun sleepily, perhaps because of the influence of "historical fame", Emperor Liu always felt that although Kou Zhun was young at this time, he already had a resolute temperament , as if there are edges and corners all over the body.

"Excuse me!" After a long time, Emperor Liu spoke.

Perhaps because of his natural strength, Kou Zhun remained calm in the face of Emperor Liu's scrutiny, but when he heard the word "exemption from courtesy", Emperor Liu still noticed the slight slack movements of his body.

Picking up the memorial, Emperor Liu asked: "With your ingenuity, you should know why I summoned you! Is this letter of remonstrance written in your hand?"

With a serious face, Kou Zhun cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

"It's really high-spirited! I just entered the official position, and I'm busy advising the court!" Emperor Liu smiled.

Kou Zhun replied: "I am working hard to serve the country, and I am unwilling to do nothing! Even if people speak lightly, they must be honest and honest. Don't dare to empty your salary, let alone lie to your majesty!"

"Hehe!" Emperor Liu laughed, and said, "There are nearly 200 scholars in this subject, but you, Kou Zhun, are the only ones who dare to make suggestions to me. Are you learning from him?"

Hearing this, Kou Zhun was silent for a while, and then solemnly replied: "Your Majesty, when it comes to academic articles, I am far inferior to Wang Yushi!"

Wang Yucheng has been very famous in the academic circle these years. When he was "assigned" by Emperor Liu to study at home, he wrote countless articles that reflected the social reality and cared about the suffering of people's livelihood, and thus set off a movement for innovation in poetry and prose. Over the years, little success has been achieved.

And because of his upright temperament, he dared to speak out and violate admonitions, which offended many people. Although he once annoyed Emperor Liu because he was too stubborn, Emperor Liu still used him.Even, Wang Yucheng was arranged in the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, with a fourth-rank title.

Emperor Liu compared Kou Zhun with Wang Yucheng. As far as the current situation of the two is concerned, he is already exalting Kou Zhun.However, Kou Zhun's words were somewhat meaningful.

Emperor Liu naturally felt it, and said softly: "You seem to have only said half a sentence. You are not as knowledgeable as Wang Yucheng. It seems that you are full of confidence in other abilities!"

"I don't dare to be proud, I only want to do my duty!" Kou Zhun said.

It has to be said that Kou Zhun still brought some freshness to Emperor Liu, but that's all.After chatting a few words, Emperor Liu became serious, and said: "You mentioned in the memorial that immigration by the imperial court is really difficult, and some people are trying to fight against it, but the words are vague. I am a little curious, who is talking about it?" The imperial court's hind legs!"
