Rui Jin's document about the rebellion of the Xinghua villagers was first sent to Fuzhou by express delivery. Fuzhou did not dare to neglect, and rushed it to Bianjing. Horses and people were changed along the way, ensuring that the document would be delivered on time within a few days!
Bianjing is in full swing implementing the New Deal of Fan Zhongyan and others, and good news is spreading frequently from all over the country. Every day, people from all over the country send letters of ten thousand words and ten thousand people's umbrella. Lived a good life.
But who would think about it, none of those ordinary people with their faces turned to the earth and their backs to the sky can write their own names? They even struggle to draw and sign.
But they turned a blind eye to these little secrets that even the husband could understand, and still accepted these boasts with peace of mind and placed them in the most conspicuous place in their court! So that the world can see how their political principles have won the hearts of the people and how remarkable their results are!
This set of operations is both a rule in the officialdom and a commonplace saying. It has been thousands of years, and even though a few soups have been changed, the medicinal properties inside are still as strong.
On this day, as usual, all the ministers brewed a bowl of tea brought to them by local officials, and then began to read the official documents sent from various places.
After reading a few articles in a row, my eyelids became a little sleepy. The official of the Political Affairs Hall took a few more sips of tea to refresh myself and prepared to continue reading!
Unexpectedly, an urgent delivery from Fujian Road made him take a few more glances, thinking that he had seen it wrong, and then he confirmed what was said in the official document!
He held the official document in front of him, his mind went blank, and he glanced around. No one paid attention to it, thinking that the day should be spent leisurely again. His intuition from having worked in the Political Affairs Hall for many years told him that this official document might be involved. There's a lot of fishy wind coming out!
Something big happened!
'Looking at you like that, is it possible that there are Wanmin Umbrellas coming from somewhere? But please say goodbye, our Zhengshitang warehouse is about to run out of space! '
The gentleman didn't have time to joke around. He picked up the document and jumped over the amused colleagues on the side. He chased out the door and asked, "Where is the officer who just delivered the letter?" '
'Waiting outside the department! '
'Leave him alone, and I will retaliate to my husband. '
Taking the urgent delivery from Fujian Road, the gentleman left the gate of the Government Hall as if attending a funeral, and quickly rushed to the capital hall where the husband was on duty.
'Hey, there must be some good news somewhere, so I won't be so excited. Just take it easy! '
The officials in the capital were all of high rank, but when they saw that the people under their command were still irritable, they couldn't help but say a few words.
The official document was sent directly to the husband-in-law. Xia Song had not yet arrived at this time, because the New Deal had nothing to do with him. Although it was still an official document, he had already handed over the power calmly.
To be able to achieve this position, he knows that only by retreating from the rapids can we always have the right idea. After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, he has seen all kinds of heroes. You sing and I will appear on the stage. No one is eternal.
Xia Song knows Zhao Zhen best. Zhao Zhen has a restless heart under his weak appearance, which is why he is so depressing in the shadow of Liu E. He has a melancholic personality but wants to make some achievements, but when he sees the poor life of the people, he will doubt his own policies. This is a complicated Zhao Zhen.
Since ancient times, the emperor's mind must not let the people below him guess his thoughts if he wants to control them. Emperor Wu Jiajing was like this. Zhao Zhen has a contradictory personality, but his mind is extremely simple. There is no imperial domineering in his heart, only extreme treatment of others. of trust.
Fortunately, the current ministers in the dynasty are all men of the world. The superiors and subordinates worked together to achieve today's new strategy.
Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fubi and several others would arrive at the capital hall after the rooster sings at dawn. Several of the husbands were thin, especially Han Qi, who was tall but only had a frame, giving people a feeling of being distant! They are more passionate than ordinary people. Many people know that it is not a good thing for these gentlemen to eat and drink. If they work like this for many years, their bodies will collapse sooner or later.
There is nothing to repay, only to work hard!
Every day, the status of roads in various states will be gathered in the capital hall. It is not enough to just look at the implementation of the New Deal reported below. If it is a few minutes later, the time will be even more stretched.
However, since the beginning of the New Deal, it is still being implemented in various places, but it has a huge impact on the officials below. Their reaction is very strong. In many places, it is even open to the public, but in fact it is contrary to the plan, and the promotion is not obvious.
Since the implementation of the New Deal, there has been little response at first, but undercurrents have begun to surge in various places.
The "Ten Matters of Answering the Imperial Edict" was handed over, but some of the items had not yet been implemented and had been strongly opposed by the ministers and dignitaries of the DPRK and various circles, so they were temporarily shelved.
For example, there is a line about military preparation, Qin Enxin. The imperial court spends more than one million in national funds to raise troops every year. It almost empties the national treasury. Cai Zheng is almost bankrupt. What is the point of repairing military preparation? Now that the world is at peace, the Khitans in the north cannot stand up, the parties in the northwest have been defeated, and the Nong people's rebellion in the south has been settled, and the troops can be returned to the treasury to rest and recuperate. At this time, if the country is not allowed to recover, how can it build up its military equipment?
As for Tan Enxin, this is even more empty talk. Which dynasty and generation did not value upright people, and who would use those treacherous and sycophants? Doesn't that mean that the officials of the current dynasty are ignorant people?
These are the words on paper made by scholars who are pragmatic and unrealistic. They sound good on paper, but there is no effective way to operate them.
Many people in the imperial court and local governments watched these changes with cold eyes, and responded in kind words, but in reality they stood still and secretly observed that based on their experience, this new policy would never last long.
The biggest problem between the DPRK and China, and the most intense reaction from various places is not the emphasis on agriculture, but the selection of officials.
For thousands of years, farmers have done nothing more than harvest in autumn and sow in spring, just to see which year God is in a good mood and give them a few mouthfuls of food. No matter how much the court pays attention to it, the output is only one thing. A slogan is nothing more than soothing the mood of these mud-legged people. That’s all.
The most difficult thing to deal with is these scholar-bureaucrats!
There is a famous saying in the founding of the Song Dynasty: Officials and scholar-bureaucrats share the world! If the person named Zhao wants to be secure in the world, he must not offend these scholars!
However, Fan Zhongyan's New Deal violated this taboo and targeted these scholars as soon as they came up.
One of the New Deal policies, the selection of chief officials, put Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi and Han Qi on the opposite side of everyone.
Don't say that the Xia Party's people and politics attack them. Even Qingliu is divided into several groups, because everyone is not monolithic. They are monolithic only when their interests are the same. Otherwise, no matter what kind of bullshit party you are, you are my enemy. !
Those who inspect senior officials are acting as inspection envoys. Although the officials sent out are small officials, low-level officials from the third department or the second government, their power can be as great as the sky!
There is a saying among the people that if you follow the instructions, you can get a promotion or return home to farm!
In the past, the method of the imperial court was that when the time was up, as long as there were no major problems in office and operations were in place, either promotion or at least level promotion would be achieved.
Things are different now. The superiors have to send people down to inspect how well this official is doing and whether he can be promoted. He must produce a dazzling report card!
But the problem lies precisely in this link!
The imperial court sent inspection envoys to various places to evaluate officials. Who was qualified and who was not qualified, who could be used and who could not be used, it was the inspection envoys who had the final say. But the inspector is also a member of the court, can he convince the public? cannot!
Therefore, the actions of the procurators were met with fierce counterattacks from various places.
China has been a humane society for thousands of years. The law has restraints and people have feelings. Even if they do bad things, they still have to look at the Buddha's face!
This kind of assessment has no standard at all, and it will make things difficult for yourself even if you follow the assessment!
Many people have old relationships with local officials, and no matter how bad their scores are, they are not that bad. The better a local official does and the more honest his official reputation is, the more people he will offend. So if this honest official wants to Getting good reviews in the assessment is just a daydream!
Only those who know how to work hard will win a good reputation from others. The official examination has always been about examiners and not officials. Officials and ordinary people are two classes in heaven and earth. They have no way of getting a real official evaluation!
This is the truth about officialdom!
Fan Zhongyan has been having a hard time eating and drinking these days, and is worried about Li Xuan, the inspector sent out.
Li Xuan was originally a judge of the Third Division, two ranks lower than the Third Division. Logically speaking, Li Xuan was only a minor official in the court. A tile from the roof fell down. He could hit several people like this. Fan Zhongyan saw that Li Xuan was selected and appointed as the transit inspector of Jingxi Road.
Li Xuan gained the respect of Fan Xianggong, it was like having a second spring, full of fighting power! If you pat your chest continuously in front of Fan Zhongyan, you must live up to your high expectations, act honestly, resolutely complete the tasks of the court, and add luster to the New Deal!
Jingxi Road governs one prefecture, sixteen states and two armies. Why does Fan Zhongyan like Li Xuan? Because this boy has a similar temperament to him. They are both people who accept death and are unsophisticated! The two have the same temperament. When Li Xuan gets to the place, he is decisive and selfless. He doesn't give face to anyone, sells no favors to anyone, and will die without any escape route!
After inspection, he thought that those who knew Fan Yong of Henan Prefecture, knew Wang Juzheng of Xuzhou, knew Chenzhou as Zhongshi, and knew Heyang as Bu were unqualified.
Others didn’t understand Li Xuan, but Fan Zhongyan knew best. He said if these people couldn’t do it, then there must be a big problem!
Fan Yong was Lao Fan who led to the defeat of Sanchuankou in Yanzhou. Although he suffered defeats and had stains on his official career, he served as the third envoy and could be called half a prince. Wang Juzheng's father-in-law was the mediocre prime minister Chen Yaozuo, and he himself served as After serving as a counselor, he was a true husband-in-law. Ren Zhongshi and Ren Bu were even more ruthless. They were both deputy privy envoys. Both of them were veterans. They had never seen any monsters. They were the deputy prime ministers of the West Palace. At that time, Li Xuan's immediate boss Fan Zhongyan was still eating dirt in the northwest. Based on seniority, this piss was all poured out on them? Are you still talking about the rules?
If every husband-in-law has to be treated like this by his juniors after he retires, fine, that's okay. Everyone will be like this in the future, and no one should miss the friendship of the past!
These people are all old people of the second government. The older generation were demoted due to various reasons. Not to mention Li Xuan, even the current prime ministers Xia Song and Yan Shu had to show courtesy to them, let alone a small child. The young judge Li Xuan, that Li Xuan is out of his mind, so he used them all to build his own memorial arch!
There are some rules in the officialdom that cannot be broken. For example, civil servants cannot be killed, they will be liquidated after they are removed from office, and they cannot be killed. Everyone has their doomsday, and others’ today may be their own tomorrow. Do not leave a way out for others. Retribution will come very quickly!
The mentally retarded Li Xuan broke the biggest rule in the officialdom and offended half of the people in the court. These people were not members of the Xia Party. They were all their own people. They were about to start a fight. Xia Dang didn't need to take action, he just watched the excitement for a long time. .
Fan Zhongyan couldn't sleep that night when he read Li Xuan's official document that was full of claims for credit. .
Fan Zhongyan was so angry that he called Li Xuan back the next day and let him toss for a few more days. This Jingxi Road must be turned over!
The innocent Li Xuan was very sad and angry. These officials had done a bad job, otherwise they would not have been attacked. Is this wrong?
It’s not Li Xuan who’s wrong, it’s the officialdom!
Officials protect each other. Who wants to be an official without a big mountain behind him? This is the sorrow of the entire Song Dynasty, not the sorrow of Li Xuan alone!
Anywhere in the Song Dynasty, even if Fan Zhongyan went there to check, he would get the same result, not just a problem like Jingxi Road!
This is still a small matter. Before Fan Zhongyan could handle it, he received the official document from Fujian Road. When he saw the content of the official document, Fan Zhongyan's face was already covered with frost!
