"This this!"
Chen Liangxun struggled, and suddenly he shouted anxiously: "Father, please go and reply to the edict. I will not resign. I will go back to Liu Ke Gallery to sign the imperial edict!"
"Yes, yes, I won't resign either. I'm obsessed with it. I'm obsessed with it!"
Shen Weiji also shouted.
For a moment, the six officials on duty all started to defend themselves in a panic.
They knew that the emperor would not give in easily, so they had no intention of persuading the emperor. They just wanted to express their protest by resigning, and they did not want the imperial examination to pass their hands and appear in the Ming Dynasty.
But they did not expect that the emperor would not only be unwilling to surrender, but would also strengthen his authority, so he actually wanted to use their own heads as sacrificial flags for the New Deal.
Therefore, Chen Liangxun, Shen Weiji and others had no choice but to surrender.
However, Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said: "It's too late for you to realize what's going on! How can His Majesty's decree be child's play? How can you not kill someone even if you say they will?"
With that said, Wei Zhongxian asked Jin Yiwei to take these people down.
Then, there was a series of sounds of drawing swords.
The sword flashed.
Several heads fell to the ground.
And Wei Zhongxian also returned to the palace immediately after this to renew the order.
Fang Congzhe, the cabinet minister of Zhengshitang, immediately issued an order to the Ministry of Personnel at Zhu Youxiao's request, and the Ministry of Personnel immediately recommended and appointed several Liukelangyan officials.
Li Ruhua soon learned about Chen Liangxun's beheading.
He was not very sad because of this: "This is how the government of the imperial court is. If the people are not killed, the officials will be killed. It is never possible to have both!"
Li Ruhua sighed and immediately recommended and appointed several Liukelangyan officials who he thought were more obedient.
The next Sixth Section Corridor Officer was indeed obedient. After all, Chen Liangxun and other officials who were dissatisfied with the new policy of passing the exam had just been killed.
Therefore, the examination law and reward system were quickly issued, and when it came to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Personnel began to implement it immediately, and distributed the official examination certificates of various government offices to the officials responsible for their political achievements.
Li Yingsheng, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was extremely annoyed by this. Now he had to rush to the Metropolitan Procuratorate before dawn to complete the summary work after his inspection of Sichuan last year.
Because according to the Ming Dynasty's censor inspection system, the Metropolitan Procuratorate would regularly send a censor to a certain Chief Secretary for one year to inspect local officials, criminal names, money and valleys, public security, archives, schools, agriculture, water conservancy, customs and people. Hidden, etc., and must be written in a memorial and submitted.
However, Li Yingsheng visited Sichuan last year and was busy collecting money from local officials, visiting tourist attractions and making connections, so he did not pay attention to what he really wanted to do. When he returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he did not care about himself. When it comes to serious business, he is just obsessed with all kinds of court disputes.
But now the cabinet is urging him to hand in the transcript of his inspection last year for examination.
Therefore, he now has to work overtime to compile comments on civil and military officials at all levels in Sichuan, as well as data on students and candidates, and sociological data. In short, he has to compile all kinds of data and survey conclusions on the fly.
But this is not so easy to make up.
After all, there are so many officials in Sichuan, and he has long forgotten who they are.
Therefore, he had to first find out which officials were serving in Sichuan at that time, and evaluate them based on the power behind them and the amount of bribes paid to him.
"This damn examination method! When have I ever been so tired as the Imperial Censor? It's been so long. How do I know which people are incompetent and should be impeached? I still have to write down the reasons for impeachment. What a headache!"
With his bloodshot eyes, Li Yingsheng suddenly slammed the table and shouted: "I won't do this anymore!"
"Isn't that right? We can't impeach all of them. The memorial written by Zhou Yushi who stayed up all night was beaten back. He said that he impeached too few people. He said that it is impossible for Henan, a big country, to have only five incompetent officials. What's more terrible Unfortunately, some of them cannot be written casually. Wang Gefu said that the amount of beans stored in the official warehouse in Henan Province he reported was wrong. It could not be three times that of Ji Liao! Therefore, he was dismissed from his post as a civilian on the same day! "
When Hou Xun started talking, he also said something with a headache, and then said: "You can't resign from this official position. Be careful, just like Chen Gai did to them, everyone will fall to the ground!"
After hearing this, Li Yingsheng became even more angry and couldn't help but cursed: "It's all my fault that Fang Congzhe, a treacherous minister, relied on the emperor's favor and trust to imitate Zhang Jiangling. This has caused so much harm to all our officials!"
…
"How do these censors become! The number of household registrations in Sichuan is far less than that in Guizhou, and the number of students in a county in Ningxia is more than that in a prefecture in Shandong. Even if it is compiled, it should be compiled in a similar way, and the inspection places should be The result of the inspection is that the amount of money and grain does not match, the number of household registrations does not match, and the actual number of soldiers does not match, especially in the southwest and Jiubian. If these are not aligned, in the event of war, it will harm the country and the people. of!"
Wang Xiangqian had more experience as a local official, so Zhu Youxiao asked him to take the examination for the censorship of the Chengdu Procuratorate. After all, the main responsibility of the censor was to inspect local areas for the central court. If Wang Xiangqian was to take the examination for the Chengdu Procuratorate, he would undoubtedly find out. More situations.
Han Xu was born in the Imperial Academy. He had stayed in the imperial court for a long time and was familiar with ministry affairs. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao asked him to be responsible for passing the six subjects.
But because of this, Wang Xiangqian discovered many problems with the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he couldn't help complaining to Han Xu: "Han Gong, look at this, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, filled with gentlemen from Donglin, has misled the country to such an extent. !What do they usually do!"
Han Xu smiled awkwardly and said, "That's why His Majesty the Holy Ming wants to implement the examination method."
Wang Xiangqian sighed and had to report the test results truthfully.
"If you don't pass the exam, you don't know. The government affairs of the Ming Dynasty are so absurd. They say that the temple is lazy and the ministers are not much worse than him, especially the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section. I see that they usually go to school. The attack was quite positive, but it actually delayed the government to such an extent!
The examination method must be implemented at the local level as soon as possible, and a group of capable prefecture and county magistrates should be selected from the local areas to serve as censors, so as to ensure that the clearing of land in Nanzhili and other chief ministers in the future can be implemented, and there will be a lot of fire damage in the future. Return to the public! "
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but shook his head when he saw Wang Xiangqian's test results from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then immediately started talking to Fang Congzhe.
"What your Majesty is saying is that many officials have almost forgotten their own duties and are just striving for fame. Really practical officials still have to go to the local government to select a group through examinations!"
Fang Congzhe came back.
"All those who are incompetent will be dismissed from their posts and will never be used again! Their family gifts will be taken away!"
"yes!"
Fang Congzhe replied.
Because of this, Yushi Li Yingsheng and others were dismissed from their posts.
"This is your salary for this month. Because you were dismissed, you don't have any salary!"
The officer sent by the Ministry of Revenue to distribute Li Yingsheng's monthly salary gave Li Yingsheng a yellow bag containing silver coins and said, "Please count the amount, take it!"
Snapped!
Li Yingsheng was depressed. Seeing that the officer had no attitude towards his dismissal, he slapped the household officer on the spot, threw a bag of silver coins to the ground, and stepped on it: "The dog's eyes are looking at it." You inferior fellow! Even if I have been dismissed from my post to serve the people, I am still more respectable than you, a servant. What qualifications do you have to speak to me like this! Who cares if it is not just such a small salary! I am no longer an official, but I am happy to live an easy life! "
As he spoke, Li Yingsheng kicked open a bag of silver coins and walked away with a flick of his sleeve: "I have accumulated a lot of snowflake silver as a censor over the years. Even if I am demoted to a civilian, I will still be richer than you, a servant of the Ministry of Households!"
At this time, Chen Xinjia, the censor of the city patrol, came over, looked at this scene, and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
And this servant of the Ministry of Finance was also a good person. He hurriedly covered his face and knelt down to report: "Report to Master Yushi! This man threw the silver coins and stepped on them. He was disrespectful to Taizu! The younger one stopped him, but he A slap in the face, sir, please take a closer look!"
As he spoke, the household officer picked up a bag of silver coins with Li Yingsheng's footprints on them.
Li Yingsheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
What silver coin?
