It can be said that this employment system has been in operation to this day and has made great contributions to the achievements of the Ming Dynasty in governing the world.
Qiao Feng knows better than anyone else the importance of this system to the current prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
"You are absolutely clear that the higher the position, the higher the demand for personal abilities, and even the higher the requirements for certain qualities other than abilities."
Su Yonglin stood up, walked slowly around Qiao Feng, and said slowly: "Assigning a person who is not capable of taking a high position to a high position will only bring huge disasters to the country. This is definitely not clear to you. of.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, He Jin did not have the ability of a general, but he became a general. He eventually died in the hands of eunuchs and became a laughing stock. It also opened the prelude to the chaos in the central government at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Everyone knows what happened after that.
Emperor Hui of Jin, a person who could explain why he did not eat minced meat, a person with obvious intellectual defects, became the emperor. We all know what the Jin Dynasty became after that, and what consequences it caused.
It is with so many lessons learned from the past, and not just out of the pursuit of the revolutionary cause, that we will do our best to adjust the talent selection and promotion system and strive to be fair and just. "
Qiao Feng knew what Su Yonglin said, and he knew everything, but...
"That's true, but Chairman, we..."
"I know what you are going to say. It is nothing more than to reflect your specialness. Throughout the dynasties, people who started their careers with the emperor have been treated very well. It is called following the dragon. This is what many people pursue, and you take it for granted. Deserve that much.
However, I am not a pure emperor, you are not pure officials, and Ming Dynasty is not an old dynasty. We are revolutionaries. Ming Dynasty is a country of the people and a country of democracy. I do not allow you to look at the new country with old concepts. "
Su Yonglin stopped, lowered his head and looked directly into Qiao Feng's eyes.
Qiao Feng raised his head, looked at Su Yonglin without fear, and then suddenly laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"I thought of something interesting."
"whats the matter?"
"I feel that the people our Ming Dynasty chooses are not officials, but saints, saints who devote themselves wholeheartedly without asking for anything in return."
"Didn't Ming Dynasty reward you? Your authority, generous salary, and a series of benefits, don't they count as rewards?"
"Then he is not a saint who does not ask for anything in return. He is a saint who only needs a little reward. His desire for a little reward is very low. Chairman, do you really think there are many such people?"
"Of course not, otherwise what would the Ministry of Supervision and the Third Department of Justice be used for?"
"Go ahead to dangers?"
"This is revolution. It can not only revolutionize the lives of superiors, but also revolutionize one's own life. A person with revolutionary enthusiasm and ideals can do this, and you..."
"………………"
Su Yonglin and Qiao Feng were silent for a while.
Then Qiao Feng broke the silence.
"I just helped many old friends realize their wishes. I think this is reasonable for them and what they deserve. They have paid too much."
"So you still don't think you made a mistake, do you?"
"If this is a mistake, then Chairman, I have to tell you that I am not the first to do such a thing, and I will not be the last."
"That's why all the dynasties that have done this have been unable to escape the cycle of destruction."
Su Yonglin sat down again, sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile: "I still remember that I gave you a class and discussed why all dynasties could not escape the cycle of destruction. One of the reasons we discussed a lot is The ascending channel is blocked.
According to normal logic, if old officials retire, new officials take up their posts, and everyone abides by the rules of the game, then the court can be supplemented by fresh blood and maintain its vitality. However, the problem is that this normal logic is often only superficial.
An official with no background or connections can only theoretically rise to the top through his own efforts. In reality, he will face multiple obstacles. Many people will want to break the rules, select people who are in their own interests, and exclude them. outsider.
The emperor, prime ministers, immediate superiors, relatives, powerful eunuchs, etc., are all obstacles in front of these officials. Under such circumstances, can a court that only serves its own interests rather than the interests of the majority of people last long?
Obviously it can't be done, which is why I seldom participate in the selection of talents for the Organization Department and the Imperial Staff after setting such rules. I hope that this set of rules can operate independently and try not to be subject to external interference. As a result, I Just know it. "
Qiao Feng said nothing.
Of course he knew that what Su Yonglin said was true, and he also knew what Su Yonglin meant by what he said.
Seeing his slightly moved expression, Su Yonglin gave him another heavy blow.
"If this system is run as you envisioned, then the upper echelons of the court will gather a group of senior Jiangnan old men, and everyone will be happy, sharing power, and everyone will be satisfied. So what about the people who should have been promoted?
This system continues to operate. There are old people and their children who want to make arrangements, there are in-laws who want to make arrangements, there are friends who want to help with the arrangements, and there are people who bribe them to help with the arrangements. Everyone is doing their best to install their own people in the court. Man, what would that be like?
Qiao Feng, you have shed blood for this country, and you have also launched an attack on the upper class with anger! You know better than many people how rare the situation in Ming Dynasty is now! This is a country that you have worked hard to create. Can you bear to watch it perish? ! "
Qiao Feng stared directly at Su Yonglin at first, but as he watched, his eyes began to flicker, and he began to dodge and escape unconsciously.
Until he no longer dared to look at Su Yonglin.
He gave in.
Qiao Feng burst into tears and confessed what he had done.
He told the core figures in the circle of Jiangnan elders around him, and the guys who followed the crowd around them, as long as they had some involvement with his group and he knew about it.
After the explanation was almost finished, he seemed to suddenly remember something and shouted loudly to Su Yonglin for a while.
"They are all old people who followed you north! They have the most seniority! You dealt with them all in one go. What do other old people think? What do they think of this matter? What do they think of you? Chairman! You have to think about it carefully! Think about it! How many changes this will bring to the entire Ming Dynasty!!"
After Su Yonglin heard this, he became furious.
"How shameful it is to use the qualifications piled up with the lives of martyrs who died in the war as a ladder for your own pursuit of power! How despicable! How heartless! Are you worthy of those martyrs who died in the war?"
Qiao Feng was stunned on the spot for a long time, but he didn't say a word.
Su Yonglin did not stay in the interrogation room any longer. He turned around and walked out of the interrogation room alone, going outside to get some fresh air.
He felt that the interrogation room was too dull.
Following him out of the interrogation room was Tian Guizi.
"Chairman, I..."
"Gezi, there is no need to talk about unimportant things between you and me."
Su Yonglin shook his head and stopped what Tian Guizi wanted to say.
Tian Qizi then looked at Su Yonglin silently, looking at his slightly lonely back in the moonlight.
After a long time, Su Yonglin turned around and looked at Tian Guizi.
"Gezi, do you think I'm really ruthless to those old people?"
Tian Guizi thought for a while and felt that it was not difficult to answer this question.
"From a revolutionary's point of view, there is no doubt that you are right to do this. Maintaining fairness and justice in talent selection and promotion rules is what revolutionaries naturally need to do. If you want to show favoritism, you are not a revolutionary. Just a pure bureaucrat.
Besides, you are not the kind of person whose words and deeds are inconsistent. You are consistent in your words and deeds, conscientiously practice your own rules, and treat everyone equally. The three sons of the Zhao family have not received any preferential treatment because of their origins. This alone is enough. Tell everyone to shut up. "
