The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 56

Compared with the fierce selection of candidates in the inner court, the selection of the five members of the imperial court is relatively simple, because there are few people at this level, and basically these five people basically know it well.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Chen will see you." Liu Hong specially built a study room for himself in the palace, which is actually not a big deal, as there are so many rooms in the palace, all he needs to do is clean up one of them.

After tidying up, I put a lot of books in. In the system, there are also some books from other galaxies that are not very ahead of the times. These books were drawn by Liu Hong. Liu Hong arranged the whole room very full.

"Let Chen Gong come in." It seemed that the five members of the court had settled down, Liu Hong thought to himself,

"Your Majesty, my minister," Chen Fan saluted after entering Liu Hongde's study.

This is Chen Fan's first visit to Liu Hong's study. The inner courtyard is next door to this place, so only members of the inner courtyard usually come here.

"Mr. Chen, please stand up." Liu Hong came down and pulled Chen Fan up. The big boss of the court should show some face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Hong pulled Chen Fan to the seat next to him. "Order someone to serve you a new cup of tea." Liu Hong said to Liu Lu.

There are no eunuchs around Liu Hong now, and Liu Lu is equivalent to his chief housekeeper.Specially responsible for dealing with Liu Hong's affairs.No one else can participate.

"Yes." Liu Hong withdrew.Whatever Liu Hong says, he does.

"Chen Gong, this is a new tea from the Fan family. It is not available in the market. You can take some with you when you leave." Liu Hong said, Chen Fan regards tea as his life, especially the tea from the Fan family. The family has launched more than 20 types of tea, each of which is very popular.

There is even a price but no market, let alone this new tea, because of the low output and high technology, so the output is not large, so it is basically impossible to buy in the market.There are two places in the palace and the Fan family, and they are basically used to send favors.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Chen Fan heard this, he was not polite at all, and this was also a reward from the emperor. If you don't accept the reward from the emperor, do you have any opinion on the emperor? This is no joke.

"I don't know why my lord came here?" Even though Liu Hong could guess it, he didn't say that as the Son of Heaven, he must give his subordinates room to give full play.

"Your Majesty, these are the five members of the imperial court selected by veteran officials and several adults. I hope Your Majesty can take a look at them." Chen Fan said.

He took out a bamboo slip from his side and handed it to Liu Hong. Nowadays, big men don’t have cheap paper, so they usually use bamboo slips. Liu Hong wants to change this situation, and he has already exchanged papermaking skills with the system. Waiting to start working.

"Chen Fan, Yuan Feng, Guo Xi, Qiao Xuan, Wang Chang." After seeing these places, Liu Hong didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart. They were basically the same as what he had predicted.

It’s just that this Wang Chang was a bit unexpected. Wang Chang has not been in court for a long time. It seems that there is really no way to decide the last place, so he can only use the older senior Wang Chang.

"Mr. Chen has no objection, and of course I have no objection. That's fine. It just so happens that Mr. Chen is here today, and I have something to discuss with Mr. Chen." The inner court must have certain rules and regulations.

It is impossible for a large group of people to deal with one thing in a swarm.The efficiency is too low, and it doesn't mean that Mengniu can handle it better than a few people.This will not work.

"Your Majesty, please tell me." Chen Fan said. "The old minister must know everything and say everything."

"The inner court needs some rectification. I think the number of people in the inner court is set at 25. Now there are [-] people, five people from the family, and four more places. I want to choose four people from other places," Liu Hong indicated Chen Fan drinks tea.

"25 people, what do you think, my lord?" Liu Hong asked. To be honest, these 25 people are still a lot, but they are still within an acceptable range.

"I don't know where your Majesty's four people will be selected from," Chen Fan felt ominous. If Liu Hong used these four places to win over those families who were not selected, the family would still split.

The Murong family, the Changsun family, the Tuoba family, and the Yuwen family, the four families have already fully supported Liu Hong. The Li family and the Yang family have also begun to support Liu Hong. If Liu Hong wins some of them away, how will they fight against Liu Hong in the future? .

"Well, there are so many talents in the world, there is such a possibility that there will be no one to choose." Liu Hong said with a haha, he did not directly answer this question.

"Veteran agrees." Chen Fan didn't say anything in the end, the inner court was Liu Hong's voice, and those who were promoted by Liu Hong to the inner court followed Liu Hong's lead.The inner court said it was Liu Hong's private institution, so he would do it like this.

"Since the five members of the imperial court have been settled, my lord, your inner court personnel should hurry up. After all, the imperial court is too slow to solve the government affairs now." Liu Hong said, and he began to urge Chen Fan.

"The old minister will hold it tomorrow. Don't worry, Your Majesty." Chen Fan said that he was ready.

"Okay, I just don't know who came up with this method. It's such a genius." Liu Hong checked, but he couldn't find out. At that time, when he made this suggestion, there were only three people there, and there were no outsiders at all.

It's normal that Liu Hong couldn't find out, "Wang Meng, grandson of Wang Chang," Chen Fan didn't hide anything.

"Wang Meng, no wonder." Liu Hong said in his heart, the former prime minister of Qin, he was the only one with such ability.

"High talent." Liu Hong praised. "Your Majesty, this is a catty of new tea." At this moment, Liu Lu came in from the outside and brought in a bag of things.

This is the new tea that Fan Li sent. There were only three catties in the court, and Liu Hong directly gave Chen Fan one third.

"Knowing that the boss regards tea as his life, it is a little heart." Liu Hong took the tea and handed it to Chen Fan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Fan had also drank the new tea, so he naturally knew the deliciousness of this tea. Unfortunately, there were only a few of them on the market, and they were sold out as soon as they came out, so they couldn't be bought at all.So Chen Fan could only endure it.

It happened that Liu Hong gave him a catty, which was enough for him to drink for a while.

"In this case, we will announce the five members of the imperial court, and the inner court will begin to assist in handling government affairs. After the noble families are selected, they will directly enter the inner court and start handling government affairs. How about it?" Liu Hong now wants to put the empire on the right track.

"That's it, no problem." Liu Hong's proposal is indeed for the good of the empire. Now that the whole place is in a different situation, the relationship between the imperial court and the locality must be opened up quickly.

"In this way, after the various departments of the imperial court accept the local documents, they pass them to five members of the imperial court, and the five members of the imperial court arrange for the joint actions of the departments involved." Liu Hong said.

"Understood." Chen Fan said.This is indeed a good way to improve efficiency. "Your Majesty, what are the five members of the imperial court called?"

"The cabinet." Liu Hong said firmly.
