Yang Rui had already made plans for the selection of talents. Wasn't it supposed to be recommended by the princes, generals, Guanglu, Si, Prefecture Overseers, and Provincial Governors? Yang Rui had snatched back more than a hundred civil and military officials. Although there weren't many historical generals or famous scholars among them, as they had all been snatched away by Cao Cao, there should still be a few who had the qualifications to be recommended.
Yang Rui had heard of Hua Xin, Liu Gu, Chen Jiao, Huan Jie, and a group of civil and military officials. There were more than ten of them. There might be historical generals or famous scholars among them, but since Cao Cao couldn't take them away, Yang Rui knew that it would be difficult for him to recruit them for his own use.
However, with the fact that Yang Rui had spent a great deal of effort to snatch them back, and with Yang Rui's actual control over Luoyang Royal City, it wouldn't be difficult to get them to nominate some talents.
At most, they would use Liu Xie's name to forcefully confer some generals, Guanglu, and Si officials to complete the segment of selecting talents. The only thing that would be affected was that the newly conferred people might not have a wide network of connections, and it would be difficult for them to truly recommend a few historical generals or famous figures.
In fact, Yang Rui had the idea of using Liu Xie and other officials. He wanted them to manage Yang Rui's newly acquired territories. Only the military power would be managed by Yang Rui's people. However, in the end, Yang Rui gave up on this idea.
Officials were officials after all. Just like office complexes in the real world, they always liked to cause trouble. After some consideration, Yang Rui felt that even if he couldn't manage his new territories well, he couldn't cause trouble. Thus, he gave up on the idea of using officials.
It had to be known that most of these officials were people who helped Cao Pi force the emperor to abdicate. There was nothing that they wouldn't do. Yang Rui was very worried about their character.
According to historical records, when Cao Pi tried to force the emperor to abdicate, none of Liu Xie's civil and military officials came out to oppose him. Only Fu Baolang, who held the Imperial Jade Seal, stood up and scolded Cao Pi for being unjust. In the end, he was killed.
There was a saying, "Traitors monopolize the power of the Han Dynasty and claim to abdicate the throne to serve the Tang Dynasty. Everyone in the dynasty respects Wei, but only Fu Baolang, a loyal official."
Of course, Cao Pi's sister, Empress Cao Jie, who was now Yang Rui's wife, Princess Lan Yue, also scolded and cursed Cao Pi. However, with the current development of the game, that scene couldn't happen again.
Since the officials couldn't be used, Yang Rui put his attention on the candidates recommended by the talent selection. These people were nominally used by the Han Dynasty. As long as Yang Rui arranged them properly from the beginning and spread them out as much as possible, they should gradually submit to Yang Rui over time.
In contrast, Yang Rui didn't have much hope for the results of the selection. Although the number of talents selected by the selection was much more than the talent selection, it was difficult to guarantee the quality of the talents.
If Yang Rui's expectation in the talent selection was two or three famous historical generals, then Yang Rui basically didn't have much hope in the selection of filial piety. Like Liu Ba's situation last time, it was completely a small probability event and usually couldn't be counted on.
After the meeting with Liu Xie, Yang Rui had already discussed the specific matters of the selection of filial piety and talent selection with him. He also asked him to draft two more imperial edicts and carry them out. Next, Yang Rui would immediately start implementing the selection of filial piety and talent selection.
First, Yang Rui used the time in Luoyang Imperial City to start visiting the civil and military officials that he had snatched back.
After the war against the Cao Dynasty was basically achieved, Yang Rui ordered the troops in Henan Province to rest for 10 game days. On one hand, it was to plan the next target of the crusade. On the other hand, it was also for the selection of filial piety and talent selection.
"The King of the East Sea means …?"
"Lord Ziyu, take a look at these two imperial edicts …"
In the study of Hua Xin's residence, Yang Rui was talking with her. This was also the first stop of Yang Rui's visit to the civil and military officials. During the conversation, Yang Rui talked about the selection of talent selection and handed the imperial edicts to Hua Xin.
"This … is His Majesty's imperial edicts?!"
As she spoke, Hua Xin was about to kneel down to receive the edicts because she had already seen that Yang Rui was holding Liu Xie's imperial edicts. However, she was stopped by Yang Rui.
"It is not an official edicts. Take a look."
Before this, Yang Rui had already realized that it would be inconvenient to show the imperial edicts to the civil and military officials. Therefore, Yang Rui didn't let the little Emperor Liu Xie stamp the imperial jade seal. Although it would be fake even if it was stamped, the meaning would be completely different after the imperial jade seal was stamped.
"On the sixth year of Jian 'an, on the sixth day of the second month, the Great Han Dynasty presented a policy book to the Emperor.
? Now that the powerful officials have been driven away, the Great Han Dynasty is in danger, and there are many things to be done in the world. After the sincere advice of the King of the East Sea, Blazing Sun, I wish to restart the selection of talents and recruit all the heroes and scholars in the world for the Han Dynasty …
The selection of talents this time is handed over to the King of the East Sea, Blazing Sun. It will be implemented as of today. There is no deadline for the selection. All the civil and military officials have the responsibility to recommend talents, so they need to treat them with more care. Those who recommend talents will be rewarded according to the number and quality of the recommendations …
? At the time of Tianshun, by the order of Zi Ming … "
After confirming that there was no imperial jade seal, Hua Xin took the draft imperial edicts and then read it in a low voice, looking at Yang Rui from time to time.
"Good! Good! The King of the East Sea is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is a pillar of the Han Dynasty, a blessing general. At this time, it is time to start the selection of talents and recruit all the heroes in the world for the Han Dynasty … "
After reading the draft imperial edicts, Hua Xin praised almost without thinking, because it was written very clearly in the imperial edicts. The selection of talents was proposed by Yang Rui, so how could he not agree?
Facing Yang Rui, who was more powerful than Cao Cao, even if Hua Xin had different opinions, he did not dare to say it. At most, he would just find a few idle people to do the work, but he could not clearly show the intention of disagreeing with the Prime Minister in front of him!
"In that case, Minister Zi Yu thinks this method is feasible?"
Seeing Hua Xin's expression, Yang Rui already knew what he was thinking, because this person's performance was a little fake.
However, it did not matter whether it was fake or not. Yang Rui only wanted an attitude. When the time came, Yang Rui would naturally urge him again to eliminate the situation of being half-hearted and not putting in effort.
"It's feasible! It's definitely feasible! For the sake of the Han Dynasty, for the sake of the King of the East Sea, I will take the lead and try my best to recommend more talents … "
