Sometimes, Changsun really felt that if the emperor didn't have other thoughts about her, he would really be a good emperor and a good brother.
Li Zhiyun slowly opened his eyes and looked at her with a curve in the corner of his mouth.
The efforts of these years have finally paid off.
Licking the dog may not necessarily lead to success, but not licking the dog will definitely not lead to success.
With his status, it is not a problem to get the Changsun family through coercion and inducement. But what's the point? There are a large number of women in the palace who want to vent their love and affection.
What he cares about is Changsun.
If he can't win Queen Wende's heart, he won't have much sense of accomplishment if he gets her, and it won't satisfy him.
Looking at the medicinal meal, Li Zhiyun asked with a smile: "Is this for me?"
Changsun came back to his senses and bowed, "See your majesty."
"No need." Li Zhiyun said: "Didn't I say that in private, you and I don't need to be so polite. The same goes for me and the Queen, and the same goes for you."
"I dare not offend the Queen." She straightened her slender waist and said softly.
Li Zhiyun smiled, picked up the medicinal meal and took a sip.
"In the past, you have never taken care of me like this. Maid Guanyin, have you figured it out?"
Mrs. Changsun lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look at his burning eyes.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun knew that he had not won her heart yet.
But it doesn't matter, the second brother is dead, and he has plenty of time to slowly poach people. He also likes this process.
How should I put it, it feels like both licking the goddess and bullying the goddess at the same time.
Changsun said softly: "I heard from my brother that Your Majesty is worried about the disaster, so he just made a medicinal meal."
Drinking the medicinal meal, Li Zhiyun said: "Changsun Anye still knows this. It seems that he has made a lot of progress and your hard work has not been in vain."
"It's not brother Anye, but brother Wuji." She explained.
"Auxiliary machine?" Li Zhiyun asked.
"yes."
Speaking of this, Li Zhiyun clicked his tongue and then asked casually: "What are the auxiliary machines doing now?"
"I heard that reading educates children."
"Tsk." Li Zhiyun sneered and said, "It's a waste of all your skills."
After finishing speaking, there was no next sentence.
A few days later, Li Zhiyun returned to the palace, and Changsun also returned to the Qin Palace.
indoor.
"It seems that Your Majesty doesn't care about my brother." Changsun sighed.
Changsun Wuji didn't look very good-looking. He thought that the emperor would be at least a little interested in him, but he didn't expect this.
Although Changsun Wuji really didn't want to continue betraying his sister and wanted to be tough, but the reality was always so cruel, he really didn't want to continue living in mediocrity.
"Forget it, there's no need to mention it again." Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly, "Now that you and I, brothers and sisters, don't have to worry about food and clothing, there's no need to talk about those things."
Seeing the melancholy and distressed look on her brother's face, Changsun felt uncomfortable.
Otherwise, follow him?
Do you really want to do this?
Thinking of this, Changsun also fell into distress.
Political Hall.
"What are these local officials doing? What are you, the Minister of Civil Affairs, doing!" Li Zhiyun was furious at Dugu Cheng, "Look, look, in this disaster relief, there are still people who dare to deduct food relief and make the people sell their children.
Those who don’t know about selling girls think this is the end of the Sui Dynasty!”
"I'm guilty!" Dugu Cheng lowered his head and was scolded.
How could he know that the local officials of Guanlong were so greedy that they dared to deduct relief food, and this was under the eyes of the emperor?
These fellows are killing people!
Du Ruhui paid homage and said, "I am the minister Zuopushe, and I am in charge of six departments. If there is such a flaw in the selection of officials, I am guilty."
"I am also guilty." Xue Shou continued.
"That's enough!" Li Zhiyun slapped the memorial on the eucalyptus table with a bang, which made the officials tremble.
"What's the use of talking about this now? Go check it out for me immediately and find out whoever is deducting food from the relief supplies. Kill one. If you find two, kill a pair. I don't believe it. I can't kill these moths yet!"
Dugu Cheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter is my responsibility. Please leave it to your Majesty."
"Leave it to you?" Li Zhiyun sneered, "You are the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the selection of talents is all yours. But look at what you have chosen. How can you make me believe that you can do this well?
A job!"
Dugucheng said bitterly: "I...I will do my best."
Chen Shuda on the side sneered in his heart. Compared with Dugu Zhen, this Dugu Cheng is far behind.
Wen Yanbo said: "Your Majesty, I feel that now we should immediately ask the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate the county officials in Guanzhong states and arrest these corrupt people and pervert the law to rectify the people's hearts."
Li Zhiyun nodded, "That makes sense, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling."
"I'm here." The two of them came out.
"Go check it out immediately and be sure to check it out for me!"
"yes."
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun said again: "Wang Gui."
"I'm here."
"You go and stop the people immediately. I will allocate money and silk to you from the internal funds to redeem the children who were sold. You must return the children to their parents."
"I obey."
Finally, Li Zhiyun said coldly: "Dugu Cheng, go back and reflect on it."
After the small court, Dugu Cheng left the political hall with a dizzy head. Although he had no hope for the Guanlong people, he never thought that those people would dare to be greedy when the imperial court was providing disaster relief in Guanzhong.
They are simply a bunch of beasts that kill people!
At this time, Li Zhiyun was thinking about another matter. From now on, the selection of officials and the allocation of local power can no longer be left to Dugu.
This trash, he doesn't deserve it!
In the past, Li Zhiyun felt that if Dugu Cheng had this power, he would at best place people from Guanlong as local officials. Although it was an eyesore, considering the overall situation, it was not unacceptable. But now, it seems that Dugu Cheng is a complete waste.
The officials placed in Guanzhong are not only incompetent, but also have extremely bad conduct. If Dugu Cheng is allowed to continue doing this, there will definitely be fires everywhere in the future.
Now, he can either demote Dugu Cheng or take away the power of assigning officials from the Ministry of Personnel.
After thinking about it, he decided to take away the power of selecting officials from the Ministry of Personnel.
And if you want to achieve this, you can only take the imperial examination, and it must be the imperial examination. Li Zhiyun does not despise the imperial examination at all.
This policy is nothing short of groundbreaking.
Because, even more than a thousand years later, the imperial examination has endured for a long time. Not only that, it has also penetrated into all civilization systems around the world.
However, he wanted to change the content of the imperial examination.
Merely studying scriptures cannot prove that a person is talented. If you want to be an official, you must know everything and cannot just sit back and talk about doctrines.
At the same time, the power in charge of the imperial examinations must be taken from the Ministry of Personnel and handed over to the Ministry of Rites.
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun already had an idea, and immediately summoned Du Ruhui and Xue Shou to tell them his thoughts.
Because of the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, both Du Ruhui and Xue Shou felt that they, as ministers, had neglected their duties, so they paid special attention to the plan proposed by the emperor.
Du Ruhui said: "What your Majesty said is feasible. I think there is not much resistance to changing the content of the imperial examination. Otherwise, if the power of the imperial examination is handed over to the Ministry of Rites, it may cause discussion between the government and the opposition."
In fact, to put it bluntly, Du Ruhui was implying that once the right to take civil service examinations was taken away, it would be equivalent to taking away Dugu Cheng's right to elect scholars, and Dugu Cheng would definitely not give up.
Although the imperial examination is now useless, it is a right after all.
"My decision has been made," Li Zhiyun said firmly.
Not only did he want to take away the power of the civil service examination, he would also find a way to kill Dugu Cheng.
The power to allocate officials must naturally be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel, but Dugu Cheng was not worthy to continue to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
The last time Wei Zheng was ordered to conduct a thorough inspection of Qizhou, he thought that the Guanlong people would restrain themselves, but unexpectedly they did not know how to restrain themselves.
From this point of view, Dugu Cheng is an incompetent person.
In this case, there is no need to keep him. He is not only a member of the Dugu family, but also an incompetent person. If he is not killed, Li Zhiyun feels that he will be disgusted to death.
Although Dugu Zhen hated the late emperor at that time, he was able to control the Guanlong people and help the late emperor.
But Dugu Cheng can't share his worries, he only creates trouble and makes small moves. He is just a useless minister. If we don't get rid of him, how can we keep him for the New Year?
