October 22nd.
Daqing Hall.
Blow the whip, play music, and encourage.
All civil and military officials bowed once, then again, and three times, and at the same time, all officials shouted.
"His Majesty, Emperor Fuwei, accepts your rightful wishes and rests with heaven!"
"His Majesty, Emperor Fuwei, accepts your rightful wishes and rests with heaven!"
"His Majesty, Emperor Fuwei, accepts your rightful wishes and rests with heaven!"
"flat!"
The accompanying chamberlain Zhang Mao shouted loudly, and all the officials returned to their seats one by one.
Today it is said to be a great court meeting, but in fact the etiquette regulations are somewhat different from those of a real great court meeting.
After all, today is neither a holiday nor a birthday, so it is normal for the process to suffer slight gains and losses.
After the completion of the response process, Li Jie glanced at the officials in the audience, and then said something that surprised them in a leisurely manner.
"I accept the destiny of Heaven, and I am only afraid of it all day long."
"However, I was greatly frightened by the news from Hangzhou Shipping Department!"
"I would like to ask all the gentlemen in the audience, is this world still the world of my Song Dynasty?"
"Is it still my Zhao family's world?"
"Hu Ze, the magistrate of Hangzhou and the city's chief port officer, has embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars in just one person!"
"Throughout the past dynasties, it has never happened before!"
"In this matter, is it because we, the Great Song Dynasty, are extremely wealthy, or is it because people are so unhappy?"
Off stage.
All the ministers fell down, and no one dared to come forward to answer.
Seeing this scene, Li Jie sneered and asked bluntly.
"how?"
"There are many civil and military officials in the dynasty, but no one can answer?"
At this moment, many ministers couldn't help but focus on Kou Zhun.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!
As the prime minister of the dynasty, Kou Zhun's status was below one person and above ten thousand people.
When the sky falls, there is a tall man watching. In the bureaucracy of the Song Dynasty, Kou Zhun was undoubtedly the tallest man.
On the other side, Kou Zhun seemed to be aware of everyone's gaze.
The heat should be about the same, right?
That's right.
Li Jie's sullenness was half true and half pretended. According to the procedure, it was Kou Zhun's turn to perform on stage next.
This is a double yellow!
The emperor exerts pressure, and then the prime minister proposes solutions.
Generally speaking, a large court meeting like this is just a ceremonial meeting and basically does not deal with government affairs.
Therefore, Li Jie just raised the issue of corruption, which really shocked all the officials.
However, this is also a stopgap measure.
In all dynasties, official administration has been a top priority, and it is even more difficult to rectify the official administration.
After all, official governance involves too many interests.
The township party, the same year, the northern and southern factions, academic factions, political alliances, etc. are all closely related to the administration of officials.
A single move affects the whole body.
If you cut it accurately, it is an art.
The Hangzhou Shipping Department just gave Li Jie an excellent excuse.
The power accumulated in the past, the specialness of today, and so on, there will never be a better opportunity than today.
That's why Li Jie breaks the rules.
"Your Majesty, I am responsible for everything that happened to the Hangzhou Shipping Department at the hands of hundreds of officials. I cannot absolve myself of the blame!"
"I beg your Majesty to punish you!"
Li Jie waved his hand: "Kou Prime Minister has just returned to the court this year, and Hu Zegu has nothing to do with you. However, what you said has some truth."….
"Just fine me copper!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
Kou Zhun bowed slightly and continued to cooperate with the performance.
"There is no need to mention this matter again."
"Kou Qing has experienced three dynasties. I dare to ask Kou Qing, how can we prevent Hu Zegu from happening again?"
After hearing this, Kou Zhun was silent for a long time. In the eyes of others, Kou Zhun seemed to be stumped by the officials.
This is normal.
The administration of officials has always been a difficult problem through the ages.
If the governance is good, hundreds of officials will be resentful. If the governance is not good, the country will be in turmoil. It is such a hot potato. Who dares to move lightly without great perseverance and perseverance?
Kou Zhun is already in his sixties this year, half of his body has been buried in the ground, and he doesn't look like someone who dares to interfere with officialdom.
If he moves, he will be the enemy of all officials in the world!
Not moving is against the will of the Holy Spirit!
It can be said that it is neither progress nor retreat.
a long time.
Kou Zhun straightened his clothes and took a step forward with a very solemn expression.
"I think that we should merge the internal and external, and adopt a two-pronged approach!"
"Those who are inside should find it easier to take exams."
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials had various reactions.
Examinations, that is, the assessment of officials' work, can be understood as KPIs for future generations. The results of examinations are an important reference for officials' career promotion.
"Shang Shu Shun Dian" records that after three years of performance appraisal, Zhi Youming was deposed.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the examination system has taken shape. Through the Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties to the present, the examination system has been gradually improved.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, when the world was first settled, Taizu inherited the system of the previous generation and formulated the method of examination. The main points were to encourage farmers to farm mulberry trees, increase their household registration, and eliminate thieves, and to appoint local state and county officials.
After Taizong ascended the throne, Zhao Guangyi further improved the examination system, imitating the three-level and nine-level system of the Tang Dynasty, dividing the merits of officials into three levels: upper, middle and lower.
However, during the Xianping period of Zhenzong, the examination system underwent a major change.
The grinding and surveying system with Song Dynasty characteristics was formally formed.
To sum it up in one sentence, the years of office, merits and demerits are calculated according to the law, and they are moved in sequence.
Since then, the core of the examination system has changed, with qualifications, or seniority, gradually taking precedence over efficacy.
The proportion of officials' actual effectiveness in daily evaluations has gradually decreased.
Although it is only more than twenty years since Xianping was born, the grinding method established by Shinzong has already had a huge negative impact.
The importance of seniority far exceeds actual political performance.
Kou Zhun's sentence, "It's easier to take exams," offended many colleagues.
This knife cut so many people's pain!
"Every examination supervisor should put nine things first.
One is to encourage farmers and mulberry trees, to promote the restoration of desolate areas;
The second is to recruit people into exile and increase their household registration.
The third is to promote prosperity and eliminate benefits and disadvantages.
The fourth is to impeach the guilty and bring him to prison.
Fifth, don’t lose sight of yourself.
The sixth day is to pacify thieves;
The seventh day is to promote culture and education.
Eighth: manage business affairs and open trade routes;
On the ninth day, check the net profit of the business and compare it with the old amount to see if there is any loss. "
Although Kou Zhun was old, his speech was still sonorous and powerful. At least the civil and military ministers in the Daqing Palace basically heard it clearly.
On the side, Wang Qinruo glanced at Kou Zhun without any trace, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
'hehe! ,
Old ghost Kou is so brave!
How dare you propose such a harsh method for passing the examination.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. The method of examination proposed by Kou Zhun is to test nine items in one test, which is compared with the method of examination implemented before.
Without a doubt, absolutely cool!
'wrong! ,
The next second, Wang Qinruo suddenly came back to his senses.
There may be another reason for this!
The test method proposed by Kou Zhun was a little too perfect, and it didn't look like it was thought up in court at all.
It was definitely planned for a long time!
It must be!
If this is the case, Kou Zhun probably had an agreement with the officials in advance, or in other words, this method of taking exams was simply the officials' idea!
Kou Zhun is just the executor! .
