Just when Yang Ji and his ministers were thinking about the personnel changes of the ministers in the Ministry of Personnel, Niu Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, came out and said: "Sage, it is already winter. I don't know when to start the year-end assessment of the official administration plan?" The imperial court does this every year. Conduct year-end assessments of officials at all levels to determine appointments, removals, assessments, promotions, and transfers for the coming year.
This matter is the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel, with the assistance of various states and counties, and the supervision of the Yushitai. The first method is evaluation, and the second method is consultation and secret visits.
The evaluation is based on the list of officials submitted by the various states and counties, and based on the achievements, deeds, reputation and other items recorded on the list, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Yushitai will give officials one by one
"Score" and give appropriate comments, and finally select nine categories: upper upper, upper middle, upper lower, middle upper, middle middle, middle lower, lower upper, lower middle, lower lower, etc.
After the ninth grade was selected, the imperial court conducted a sample survey of particularly outstanding officials. The specific method is to temporarily assign officials from the central government as inspection envoys, and ask them to conduct regular inspections and verify whether the situation is true. This is a secret consultation visit.
During the inspection tour, if any fraud is discovered, the inspector must report the truth to the court. It is then up to the court to deal with officials who turn bad deeds into good deeds and those who help them commit fraud.
As for those officials who are really outstanding, they will be given great rewards at the great court meeting, announced to the world, and their reputation will be promoted, making them officials in the world.
A good example of "promotion, wealth and fame". Another method is that local governors from various states and counties report their duties to the court at the end of each year, and decide rewards or punishments based on their self-reported achievements. At the same time, officials are dispatched from time to time to the local areas to monitor and visit to verify the situation.
It’s just that since ancient times, there have been policies from above and policies from below. Although the purpose of the imperial court’s policies is good, many officials during the year-end period are either worried that their performance will not meet the standards, they are worried about being punished and dismissed, or they are worried about being dismissed due to interest issues. Because of deliberate bad reviews, officials at all levels often criticize and expose each other. Some people even feel unfair and impeach the inspectors; and retaliation among various factions is endless.
However, these days there are too few options that can be used to reflect political achievements, and they are all easy to check and see, so there are relatively few unreasonable incidents, because officials who falsely accuse people are also legally responsible.
Yang Guang pondered for a moment and said: "Let's set it on the twenty-eighth day of the winter lunar month! Based on the county, all officials below the fifth rank will have their deeds drafted by the county-level superiors; officials above the fourth rank will tell their stories themselves. "As soon as Yang Guang finished speaking, Zhang Heng came out of the class and said: "I have sent you a message from the saint, and I have something to say." Yang Guang glanced at Zhang Heng in surprise, stretched out his hand and said, "Zhang Qing has something to say, but there is no harm in saying it."
"I obey!" Zhang Heng stood up straight and said in a very direct voice: "Sage, many county and county officials are in the same spirit and have the same interests. They often deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors, and work together in collusion. They are both prosperous and disadvantaged. The relationship between the two is mutually shielding and beautifying each other, and things happen from time to time. And the officials who drafted the merit records are also under inspection and interviewed. If they do something wrong, it will be difficult for the inspection to be completed in the shortest time. After finding out the truth, I believe that the right to draft the merit record should not be limited to the prefects of each county, but should also involve the commanders of the counties and the commanders of the counties. If each of the three drafts a copy, it will definitely reduce the number of falsifications. A lot." After hearing this, Yang Ji couldn't help but think about it silently, but in the end he felt it was unrealistic.
Zhang Heng's proposal has the framework of separation of powers, and also means that the civil, legal and military parties monitor and restrict each other.
If the prefect, Tongshou, and Sima each draft a merit record for all county officials, the difference will emerge. This method can indeed reduce the burden of inspections and inspections, and at the same time, it can also provide the central government with a better reference.
However, this move also increased the pressure on local governments to
The "workload" and the difficulty of the central review are not conducive to peaceful coexistence and united work among colleagues.
The most important thing is that if the officials of a certain county work together and work together, the three of them might sit together and draft a merit record, and the content will be plagiarized from each other and have similar differences.
Therefore, this move is not realistic and will eventually become a rule against honest people. What's more, no matter whether they are corrupt officials or honest officials, everyone has their own interests and different pursuits. If Zhang Heng's law is implemented, it will encourage the three parties to come together and bind them in terms of policy. form an unbreakable offensive and defensive alliance.
On the contrary, if the prefect and the long history continue to be in charge as they are now, the prefect and the long history will worry about being stabbed in the back by Tong Shou and Sima, but they will be more cautious and restrained.
Of course, this is not to say that this method is not good, but that the conditions do not allow it, it is inappropriate, and it goes against the current reality and national conditions of the Sui Dynasty.
From this point alone, this method is not good and is a bad method. At this moment, Zhang Heng suddenly looked at Yang Ji and bowed to Yang Guang: "Sage, I think that King Wei has a lot of insights into the way of supervision, and he seems to have implemented a system of mutual military and political supervision in Liangzhou. , so I think the imperial court should not refer to it." As soon as this statement came out, the imperial court was in an uproar.
Yu Wenkai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out with a serious face and retorted: "Sage, I object. The annual review is not to set up a big prison, nor is it to target the careerists who have rebelled. It is a regular inspection. This is in line with the raging and lightning-fast inspections. Marching and fighting are completely different. If the army is allowed to intervene in the annual review of the civil servant system and disrupt the law, it will make the problem more complicated. Therefore, I think the current law is excellent and should be implemented slowly." After hearing this, the ministers in the palace came out one after another to report. He expressed his support for Yu Wenkai's proposal.
Yang Guang waited for everyone to calm down, looked at Yang Ji, and asked in a deep voice: "King Wei, since you have pioneered the joint military and political governance of Liangzhou and achieved good results, what do you think of Dr. Zhang Yushi's suggestions? What do you think?" At this time, Yang Ji clearly felt the gazes coming from behind, which made him feel like thorns in his back. He immediately stood up and walked out: "Sage, I agree with Yu Wenkai's proposal. I always insist on the separation of military and political affairs. , and the reason why Liangzhou did this was because it was surrounded by enemies on three sides and had to do it as a last resort. This method can only be used at critical moments and key areas, and cannot be used for a long time." Yang Guang nodded silently and asked: "What else? Why? It can't last long." Yang Ji solemnly said: "Reporting to the sage, the method implemented by me in Liangzhou is actually no different from the general management office and general marching control implemented by the imperial court. This method is mainly designed to better defeat the opponent. It is indeed suitable for wartime and for borders where war is imminent. However, if this method is used for a long time, it will inevitably lead to the emergence of large warlords integrating military and political affairs, which is not conducive to the stability and unity of the country. This is that after the war, the marching general manager must be the first That’s why time seals and delivers.”
"The law of joint military and political administration implemented by Liangzhou was actually born out of the war. It was actually done out of necessity. After I defeated Tuyuhun, it was canceled." Yang Ji did not recognize such important matters. Moreover, it is indeed detrimental to the long-term peace and stability of the country, but the law of joint military and political governance will be implemented for a long time. In the Sui Dynasty, there will definitely be countless state pastors similar to the separatist regimes in the late Han Dynasty, and Jiedu envoys similar to An Lushan.
When Yang Ji was in Liangzhou, he never concealed his thoughts and intentions of implementing various laws, so Yang Guang knew the things in Liangzhou very well.
He nodded and asked: "Then what does King Wei think of the prefect, Tongshou, and Sima each drafting a record of their achievements?"
"I think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. I always feel that the law should be used according to the time, the situation, and the local conditions. The idea of Dr. Zhang Yushi was not bad at the time, but inappropriate and inappropriate. But as long as it is not appropriate, then it will be It's a bad method that should not be used..." After coming to a conclusion, Yang Ji stated his thoughts one by one and analyzed the pros and cons in public.
After listening, Yang Guang looked at the ministers below and said calmly: "My lords, I also agree with what King Wei said that 'laws should be used according to the time, the situation and the local conditions', and it is not appropriate to involve more. " Yang Guang's words vetoed Zhang Heng's proposal, and then he said: "What we have to do is to improve the current system of laws and regulations, rather than making simple things complicated. Eager for quick success and instant benefits are even more unreasonable. ." Yang Ji: "..." You are Yang Guang, how dare you tell others
"Eager for quick success and instant gain, even more so"?
"The saint is wise!" The ministers sang praises loudly. They did not know the trend of history, so they naturally felt that Yang Guang was very steady and wise. They felt that under his leadership, the Sui Dynasty would become stronger and more glorious.
But the most important thing is that Zhang Heng's suggestion touches the interests of everyone and all factions, so they instinctively oppose and support Yang Ji who mentioned the key points.
"I am short-sighted and almost missed important events. I hope the saint will forgive me!" Zhang Heng listened to Yang Ji's analysis and no longer insisted on his own opinions.
He proposed these methods, which were actually more of a test. It was not only to test Yang Guang's mind to see if Yu Shi Santai's authority could be further expanded, but also to test Yang Ji's ambition. If you are ambitious and attempt to establish yourself in Liangzhou, you will definitely agree to it. At that time, it will be a dangerous road with no life or death.
At this moment, the ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when they thought that the year-end review was about to begin, they also felt a layer of gloom in their hearts.
This is another war without swords, which is more difficult and dangerous than an open sword and an open gun. If it is not handled well, your faction will definitely lose its troops and even fall into a dangerous predicament.
Therefore, this battle must be cautious and cautious, careful and careful, and there must be no mistakes.
It can be said that when the court meeting is over, the news of the annual review time will spread, and Luoyang City will become the center of the storm. There will inevitably be storms and undercurrents, and criticism, exposure, impeachment, and anonymity will Reports and other incidents also occurred one after another.
Yang Ji was no stranger to the annual secret war, and he was mentally prepared for it. He was very confident in Liangzhou and its management, and he was not afraid of criticism, exposure, impeachment or prosecution at all. Even if someone commits a crime, it is just a drop in the ocean and cannot affect the overall situation.
And he and the entire Wei Wang family are even waiting for this year's annual review, because in dealing with the Li family in Longxi, they can neither start a war without authorization, nor let them be accused of spying on others without authorization. Therefore, they cannot start a war rashly and must rely on the annual review. To examine this reason, carry out high-sounding impeachment and go to war.
. . . . . Seeing that everything had been agreed upon, Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "The ministers have dismissed the court, the council halls, the chief officials of the four provinces, six ministries and nine temples, and the deputy officials will stay to discuss military affairs with me."
"I obey!" The ministers responded with a roar and exited the Xuanzheng Hall one by one. And as they left, the news that there was a major mobilization of officials and that the annual review was about to take place spread like a hurricane from the Imperial City to the entire Luoyang City.
When the ministers dispersed, there were only about twenty important ministers left in the palace, and everything suddenly became quiet. Yang Guang did not change places this time, and directly asked Duan Wenzhen: "Duan Shangshu, does the Ministry of War have specific implementation methods for the rectification of the military government?" Duan Wenzhen stood up immediately, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Sage, the Ministry of War absorbs the guards Wang's successful approach and the great lessons learned from the military reform have made a more detailed plan, especially in terms of supervision and placement of the elderly and the weak." At this point, Duan Wenzhen turned around and said: "But Once this law is implemented, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Sinong Temple, and the local government will need to cooperate. Otherwise, the Ministry of War will not be able to place the soldiers who have withdrawn from the military government in time."
"Yeah! It's been considered more thoroughly." Yang Guang commented: "If these contents and hidden dangers are not considered, it will definitely lead to failure again, and the military government is above the local level, and its impact is far greater than the military reform. .”
"Sage is wise!" Duan Wenzhen said, and then said with cupped hands: "Sage, we have preliminary drafted the regulations for eliminating the border troops. We have printed about a hundred copies. I would like to ask the saint to read it and ask all my colleagues to review it."———— ————Remember that I was already in
These questions have been answered in "The Author Says", but some people are still insisting on their own opinions and insisting that naming in ancient times must be
The view of "Male Chu's Poems on Women's Book of Songs" is still said by the Sui Dynasty
"Long live" is fatal, and it has been mentioned again and again in private messages, so I have to mention it again here - the Sui Dynasty was open-minded, dragon, phoenix, long live and thousand live are not exclusive to the royal family, others can also be used as names. Dangzi, Shi Wansui is the most typical example.
When the people are excited, they can say it in front of Yang Guang
"Long live King Wei, long live King Teng." The emperor also calls himself very casually. Sometimes it is me, sometimes it is me, me, or someone. The princes can even call the emperor "" in court meetings.
"Aye",
"Father". Of course, when people name their children, there are also
"Taboo for the elders",
"It is a taboo for the emperor and the venerable". The former means that your name cannot have the same character or pronunciation as that of your elders. If your uncle marries you after you are born and have a name, and there happens to be a character in your aunt's name that has the same character and pronunciation as yours, then as a junior, you will most likely be renamed, or you will be renamed. Give your nickname a big name.
However, it is not absolute, and everything cannot be generalized. As for the latter, let’s take Mao Muzhi, the son of the famous Eastern Jin general Mao Bao. This is a very intuitive example: Mao Muzhi, also known as Xianzu and nicknamed Husheng, first had a queen named Wang Muzhi. As a result, Mao Muzhi had no choice but to give up his name.
"Mu Zhi" without using it, with the word
"Xianzu" was his famous name; later his boss and Huan Wen's mother had a name in his name.
The word "Xian" was abandoned again
The great name "Mao Xianzu" was changed to his nickname. In the Tang Dynasty, because of Li Hu, he had been dead for a long time.
"Mao Husheng" was changed to
"Mao Wusheng". Later, Wu Zetian liked to change his reign and give him bad names, so his name was changed again.
What his last name was, I don't know. As for execution, you must apply
Book friends who hold the view of "Chu Ci and Female Poetry" can look at the names of the Xiao family and Chen family in the Southern Dynasties, the Yang Jian and Li Yuan families in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and also the names of the descendants of the Fan Yang Lu family... If you read these, you will will know
The point of view of "The Poems of Men and Chu and the Book of Songs by Women" is only a reference, not a necessity.
