I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 367: Famous Officials of the Han Dynasty

It has to be said that Deng Sui and Liu Long have been constantly patching up the broken man over the years.

But the big man also began to slowly regain his vitality.

The most famous thing is that some courtiers began to show themselves.

Among them were the young disciples from those aristocratic families when Deng Sui Baqi was born.

Although their edges have been smoothed by time, they also already have sufficient abilities and experience.

You can stand on this court.

Dou Zhang, who relied on his female relatives to rise to prominence, is one, and Hu Guang, another great minister who also valued Cui Yuan, is also one.

And unlike Dou Zhang, Hu Guang’s identity is somewhat similar to Cui Yuan

Hu Gang, the sixth ancestor of Hu Guang, was a famous celebrity in the world.

The evaluation is also the same as always. High-minded and determined!

Roughly the same age as Dou Rong, he fled to Jiaozhi because of Wang Mang's regency and refused to serve the new dynasty.

After the fall of the new dynasty, he returned to his hometown and continued his life.

While avoiding the flames of war, he also failed to seize this opportunity and use his fame to become an official of the Han Dynasty. The Hu family, which was waiting for something to happen, failed to rise.

It was not until Hu Guang's father, Hu Gong, that he began to enter the local government and served as the captain of Jiaozhi.

Perhaps it was because my ancestors once lived in Jiaozhou that I got this opportunity.

Hu Guang lost his mother when he was two years old, and his father was far away in Jiaozhi and was unable to help.

When I was young, I could be said to be lonely and poor. Although I had relatives at home, the family ties between the children in this courtyard were not very good, and could even be called weak.

Two-year-old Hu Guang would not starve to death on the streets, but his life was not easy.

You even have to do housework and take care of yourself.

For a child over two years old, this is a bit too much.

It was not easy for him to reach adulthood, and he tried his best to get an opportunity and join the county government as a subordinate.

As the largest county in the world and the hometown of emperors, Nanyang County's status is naturally lofty.

And Hu Guang's opportunity appeared from then on.

Faxiong, the governor of Nanjun, is a famous figure in the world and is called Mr. Xuande.

And Fazhen, the son of Faxiong, is also quite impressive. He has great talent at a young age and has gained quite a reputation in the world.

Dharma Array came from home to visit his father, Dharma Hsiung, as a filial piety for a son of man.

And Fa Zhen is quite knowledgeable about people, and Fa Xiong also understands this very well.

Therefore, when it was time to take the exam at the end of the year, Faxiong, the governor of Nanjun County, also had some thoughts. He wanted to test his son in the school. At the same time, he also wanted to see if there were any virtuous people around him that he had not discovered.

Therefore, Faxiong summoned all his officials and invited them to come to his residence for a banquet to discuss matters.

As for his son Fazhen, he was allowed to observe behind the window.

Take a look at the remarkable people here and see what their abilities and conduct are like.

Originally it was just a game between father and son, not even fooling others, but what no one expected was that Fazhen discovered the difference.

He noticed at a glance that Hu Guang was different from ordinary people among the crowd, and then recommended Hu Guang to Faxiong.

And this is also Hu Guang's real opportunity. Faxiong recommended Hu Guang as Xiaolian, and from then on Hu Guang began his legendary experience.

As a person of Xiaolian, you need to go to Luoyang, the capital, to take the palace examination, so that the emperor and the queen mother personally preside over the examination to test their abilities.

Liu Long was not in the court at the time, so this matter was left to his mother, Empress Dowager Deng, Deng Sui, who was also the person who carried the cauldron of the Han Dynasty.

Under Deng Sui's assessment, Hu Guang was successfully selected as the first.

Not only did it prove the ability of Faxiong and Fazhen and his son, but it also proved his own talent.

In only one month after that, Hu Guang was worshiped as Shangshulang. After that, he became more effective in doing things. After being promoted five times, he was appointed as Shangshu Pushe.

After Liu Long returned to the court, in addition to his own rights, the most important thing was to fill his harem. After all, Liu Long had reached his age.

It's time to give birth to an heir for the royal family, so that the royal family can be continued and the people of the world can be stabilized.

In this matter, in addition to the Geng family that Liu Long valued, many women were also involved, hoping to give Liu Long more choices.

Hu Guang, together with Shangshu Guo Qian and Shi Changshangshu, suggested choosing a daughter from a good family, which stabilized the status of the Geng family and satisfied Liu Long's wishes. It also provided the Geng family with a good reputation, allowing Hu Guang to gain It has attracted the attention of many people.

But Hu Guang, who was supposed to rise all the way, had a conflict with Deng Sui over another matter, and became a person who, like Dou Rong, was afraid of the enemy.

That was the method of reforming inspections that Deng Sui wanted to take.

As a method of recommendation for big men, there are many problems with the method of inspection, but I have to say that this matter is very important, and it can be said that it can really affect the whole body.

If you want to operate the inspection system, the required ability and courage cannot be underestimated. You need to choose the most appropriate method so as not to shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

After several discussions between Liu Long and Deng Sui, Faxiong was finally transferred to the imperial court as Shangshu Ling, and he was asked to personally handle the matter.

Shangshu Ling Zuo Xiong wanted to modify the examination system, and stipulated that the age to take the examination must be over forty, and that Confucian scholars would assess the classics, and literary officials would assess the chapters.

Only after these things are satisfied can one be appointed by the court. This can prevent a large number of children from aristocratic families from filling the court, and can also allow the children of officials to have more experience.

Make them more calm.

Although it is unfair to some people, the promotion of officials in the Han Dynasty has never been as simple as the inspection and promotion system.

So Liu Long knew the problems of doing so, but still chose to agree.

But this time, Hu Guang, who had been valued and recommended by Faxiong and his son and had achieved such success, had a different opinion.

He openly stood on the opposite side of Faxiong, and once again wrote a letter to Guo Qian and Shi Chang to refute it. He believed that selecting talents should not be rigidly customized, and he did not approve of Faxiong's memorial.

This "impulse" directly caused Hu Guang, who was supposed to be promoted again, to stop and be thrown directly from the chancellery in charge of cardinal affairs. During the years when Liu Long put down the rebellion of all parties.

Hu Guang was also impeached for his recommendation and eventually lost all his official positions.

However, Liu Long also pitied his background and past, as well as his talents, so he once again made him the governor of Runan County. After confirming that his governance ability was good, he directly transferred him to the court and made him the chief agricultural officer. .

It can be considered that he successfully stood firm in the court.

But this time, Dou Zhang directly expressed his attitude after meeting Hu Guang.

"Although Your Majesty has been persuaded, if you continue like this, you can't do it!"
