After Yang Biao looked at these crime papers, he naturally could see that all of these people were recommended by Zheng Tai. Yang Biao and Zheng Tai rarely interacted with each other, but like Zheng Tai, he was from a powerful family. Compared with the nouveau riche like Lu Bu, Yang Biao and Zheng Tai felt cold in their lips and teeth, so he said that he did not want Lu Bu to expand the responsibility. But after hearing what Lu Bu just said, it seemed that he also attacked the recommendation system he proposed.

Yang Biao looked at Zheng Tai coldly. When these ministers of aristocratic families introduced the system of recommendation and joint seats, they meant to target Lu Bu. At the beginning, they all agreed that they could not have any problems in recommending the lieutenant, so that Lu Bu's problems could be found. However, Zheng Tai actually put his mixed disciples out of the county magistrate and gave them a handle. It was a big mistake. Zheng Tai's face turned pale and he sat there without saying a word.

Yang Biao noticed that Lu Bu was staring at him with a sharp look, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "These people were recommended by Zheng Shangshu. However, Zheng Shangshu has many visitors, with good and bad quality. Some visitors are right and wrong, seek fame and reputation, and deceive Zheng Shangshu. Zheng Shangshu is not a sage, how can you notice one by one? Some visitors are honest and upright before being recommended, but once the power is in power, they will do whatever they want. Can you blame Zheng Shangshu? Some visitors are clean and spotless when they are promoted, and once they are promoted, they will deteriorate. Does Zheng Shangshu also have to be responsible? Some visitors have outstanding abilities, but there are problems with private morality. Should Zheng Shangshu be responsible for this?"

Lu Bu didn't say a word and kept looking at Yang Biao and Zheng Tai coldly.

The Grand Tutor Lu Zhi couldn't listen anymore, and slapped the table with a bang, shouting loudly to Yang Biao and Yang Wenxian: "Yang Wenxian. The system of recommendation for the joint seat is your first initiative. I think it is very meaningful, so I signed and approved it with Taishi Cai and Matthew Bao, but you still forgot what you said in the manuscript that proposed the strict recommendation for the joint seat system?! What's the difference between what you said just now and what Wang Mang said during the chaos of politics that did not use small flaws to hinder the big talents?!

Some shameless people, such as Wang Mang, used the loosening of the recommendation system to recommend officials and cultivate their confidants. This made our Han Dynasty's administration corrupt and thus made the people disenchanted. The reason why the Han Dynasty declined was directly related to relaxing the responsibility of recommending the leader and indulging indiscriminate actions! Yang Wenxian. Do you want to cover up Zheng Tai?"

Lu Zhi's voice was like a bell, and his passionate words made Yang Biao look so embarrassed that his face turned red. He just slapped himself in the face to protect Zheng Tai. No wonder Lu Bu didn't say a word, just to see his Yang Biao's joke.

Grand Tutor Cai Yong also said coldly: "To deal with others is righteousness and strictness, as if justice is in his own hands, and it is his own turn, but it seems that the law of justice does not exist. How can you convince the public in this way?! Do you understand the principle of correcting others first, and do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you?!"

Although Cai Yong was dissatisfied with Lu Bu's visits to talented people everywhere to cultivate power, he was able to become the Grand Tutor of the dynasty through Lu Bu after all. Lu Bu was both his apprentice and his prospective son-in-law. Although Yang Biao, Zheng Tai and others were his old friends for many years, they were also very indifferent because when Cai Yong was exiled by Emperor Ling of Han, they were still in contact with him. Now they are just political friendships, how can they be worthy of the friendship between Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and Lu Bu?

The Taifu Lu Zhi and the Grand Tutor Cai Yong said this. Although the Taibao Ma Riyi was quite sympathetic to Yang Biao and Zheng Tai, he could only scold Yang Biao and Zheng Tai according to the tone of Lu Zhi and Cai Yong.

Shangshu ordered Huang Wan to stand up and smooth things over: "Everyone, since things have come to this point, it is very clear which one is right and who is wrong. Should I talk about how to solve this matter? Fengxiangong, what do you mean?"

Lu Bu smiled coldly and said, "I have nothing to do. Since Yang Situ has proposed the recommendation system, I think the responsibility for the recommendation is very detailed, so I can handle it according to the above!"

The Censor Tian Feng took out the text of the recommendation system of the joint seat system, which corresponds to the stack of illegal records of Zheng Tai's disciples, and whispered: "Feji, a native of Xingyang, was once a disciple of Zheng Tai, and was recommended by Zheng Tai as the Minister of Personnel, and was later transferred to the position of the magistrate of Qingyuan County. In the past month and a half, he received 480,000 yuan bribes from local tyrants and embezzled 760,000 yuan of public funds. According to the Han laws and regulations, he should be executed. According to the recommendation system of the joint seat, his recommender should be removed from his official position and swallowed Fei Ji's 360,000 yuan of public funds that cannot be recovered! Ji Yan, a native of Xingyang..."

Zheng Tai's face was ashamed, sitting there, the others in the conference hall were either disdainful or dared not plead for him, and could only listen to Tian Feng's 24 Zheng Tai's disciples and their crimes so dryly.

After Tian Feng finished reading, Lu Bu asked the Tingwei Fayan who was appointed as the Tingwei Left Supervisor. In your opinion, if you add the crimes of these twenty-four people, what kind of responsibility should the person who recommended him bear?"

Fayan, like his son Fazheng, was a vengeful person. He was coldly rejected by Zheng Tai just now. As if he was slapped hard on his face by Zheng Tai. He had already held a grudge. He also understood Lu Bu's meaning. If he stepped on someone, he would step on him to death. He said coldly: "The law of Qin, those who are not good at placing good will be punished for their crimes. Fan Ju was the prime minister of Qin Zhao and recommended Zheng Anping as general. Later, Zheng Anping led his army to attack Zhao, but was defeated and surrendered. Fan Ju was investigated and was dismissed. At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, there was a "Two Years Law? Law on Establishing Officials" stipulated: "Appointing people as officials, and their responsibilities are not honest and incompetent to avoid them, and those who are also appointed to be dismissed." With the law of Qin, Zheng Tai should be executed. With the law of Han, he will be punished with multiple crimes and should be demoted to common people, and all his property will be confiscated to make up for the losses caused by his random recommendation."

Lu Bu smiled, refused to comment, and then greeted Zhuge Xuan, the prefect of Wei County, Zhuge Yinyi: "Yinyi, what if you think?"

Although Zhuge Xuan is a gentle gentleman who has never been easy to get along with others, he is also angry by Zheng Tai's shameless behavior. He shouted: "These Zheng family's guests are either county magistrates or county magistrates. I really don't know what qualifications and abilities they have. If they are only because they were former ministers of the Minister of Personnel, they would have entrusted important tasks, which would really make the scholars in the world feel heartbroken!

If a person recommended has a problem, it can be said that a gentleman can be deceived and deceived. If so many person recommended has problems, it can only show that the boss is stupid and stupid, and has no ability to know anyone. Such a person is still high in the position of Minister of Personnel. We are really worried about the Han Dynasty."

After Lu Bu asked Fa Yan and Zhuge Xuan, he did not say a word and looked at Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, and Ma Riyan. He respected these three nobles and handed over the right to judge the matter to them.

Zheng Tai was very depressed when he heard this. Since he had already done so, he simply threw himself into the can and slapped the table and shouted: "Lu Bu, isn't it just that I don't agree with you to recommend these two people to become the prefect of the Wei County? Just try your best to make up these things and come to frame me and take revenge on me!"

After Zheng Tai said this, the people who were originally standing on Lu Bu's side looked at Lu Bu with skepticism.

Lu Bulang laughed loudly and said, "The two people I recommend, Zhuge Xuan, a famous minister of the Sili School, was the magistrate of Yi County and the magistrate of Taishan County. He was a clean and honest official and was loved by the scholars and the people. He was not promoted because he offended the powerful and powerful. Now I recommend him as the prefect of Wei County, where is he incompetent?! Fayan is the son of Fazhen, a famous scholar of Mr. Xuande, who was once the Situ clerk, the left supervisor of the Tingwei, and is well-versed in the law. Among the officials here in Yecheng, he is the most competent person for the Tingwei position. You say that he came from Dong Zhuo, and it may be a spy sent by Dong Zhuo. He used such a ridiculous crime to erase him, just to pave the way for your party members to promote these two official positions. He is so selfish and has no court-like people. How can he be the Minister of Personnel?!

I am the position of the Sili School Captain, and I have the power to supervise you, the Minister of Personnel. When you first recruited your guests, I noticed something wrong and made people keep a close eye on them. As I expected, there are not many of the guests you raised in your family, who are honest and capable, and they are all villains from aristocratic families who flatter you! You are so indifferent, you still don’t reflect on yourself, and you dare to slander me!

It would be better to do this. When our subordinates of the lieutenant brought these people to Yecheng and handed them over to the Third Division for trial. If it is conclusive, I will take your head. If it is false, I will pay my head. Zheng Taifu, do you dare to confront me?"

Zheng Tai's face became paler and he said tremblingly: "What three corps can be tried? You recommended the Censor Zhongcheng, and you recommended the Tingwei. Among the three corps, your people occupy two corps. No matter how absurd things are, they can become conclusive evidence!"

Lu Zhi slapped the table suddenly and shouted loudly: "Zheng Tai, don't mess around, it's better to do this. Leave your twenty-four guests to my nephew, Lu Chong, for interrogation. If everything is certain, not only will you take your life, but you will also be punished and confiscated as slaves in the Zheng family!"

As the Minister of State, Huang Wan was Zheng Tai's immediate boss. She wanted to save Zheng Tai's life and shouted loudly: "Zheng Tai, I remember that you were an important minister of the court and have made contributions to supporting the court. To spare your life, don't be ignorant of advancing and retreating!"

Zheng Tai closed his eyes miserably and thought about it carefully. As Lu Bu said, there were not many true loyalists, and they were all tempted by the enemy. The character of those people can be imagined. He could not place his own life and the family on their integrity. Thinking of this, he knelt in front of Lu Bu: "Zheng Tai has no eyes, has no supervision, and does not know the talented people. If he makes such a big mistake, please forgive Zheng Tai because we have worked together to protect the emperor and the queen mother from Luoyang and build the new court in Yecheng together, and forgive Zheng Tai!"

The Grand Tutor Cai Yong and the Grand Guardian Ma Riyi also advised: "Fengxian, Zheng Tai was just in charge of using people and had no other mistakes. Please forgive others if you have to!"

As soon as Taishi Cai and Matthew Bao started this, other ministers of the aristocratic families such as the ministers of various departments also pleaded for Zheng Tai. Later, Lu Zhi also spoke out for Zheng Tai.

Lu Bu glanced at Yang Biao and others and said coldly: "The recommendation system you promulgated is here in black and white. The people you recommend are of different quality. Some people are guilty of favoritism and abuse of power and corruption. I want to forgive them, but I don't know if the hundreds of thousands of Central Army soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the front line agreed, and I don't know if the tens of millions of people under the rule of the Han Dynasty agreed!"
