Again, Honglu Temple is not a government agency with real power. Qianqiying's manpower is limited, so it pays very little attention to Honglu Temple, unlike officials from the other six ministries who know it as well as they do.
That's why Chu Qing came over "incognito".
As he said, you don't need to go in, you can get a general idea by squatting at the door and looking around for a while.
After watching for a moment, Chu Qing roughly wanted to understand why Cao Wu said the name Yu Tianlun.
In addition to the two reasons guessed by Jiang Yuesheng, there is another reason.
The officials who come in and out of Honglu Temple are all very young, so young that their age is incompatible with the official robes they wear.
Just like the two young men who had just joined the government office, they were only about 25 or 26 years old, but they were wearing light purple fifth-grade official robes.
You must know that in the Ministry of Household Affairs or other government agencies, it is extremely rare to reach the fifth rank at the age of thirty or so. There are many people who reach the fifth rank only in their forties and early fifties.
If there are only a few officials, it is an isolated phenomenon, but the officials in Honglu Temple are all young and of high rank, which is extremely common.
Chu Qing figured out the crux of the problem immediately, the son of aristocratic family!
The position of officials in Beijing is a carrot and a pit. The Sixth Department is the most important department. There are so many vacancies for the aristocratic families to place their juniors. Therefore, Honglu Temple, which has almost no rights compared to the Sixth Department, has become the responsibility of these families. First choice.
These children from aristocratic families don't even need to have any abilities. As long as they don't make mistakes, are promoted quickly internally, and the elders in the family find connections to exchange benefits, these children from aristocratic families can rise to the top.
"No wonder the Sixth Department rarely transfers people from the Nine Temples when there are vacancies."
Chu Qing burped: "It's just a place to raise idle people. It has no grades and most of them are waste."
Fu San nodded, not sure if he understood.
Chu Qing looked at it for a moment and made sure.
Cao Wu gave himself the name Yu Tianlun, not because Yu Tianlun would lead the aristocratic families in Beijing to criticize him, but because the minister of Honglu Temple was like a link through which the aristocratic families carried out some tacit "plans" ".
A group of courtiers went to the palace to report the incident, but Qianqiying did not receive any news. The reason was found.
The aristocratic family and the courtiers would not sit in sedan chairs and swagger to anyone's mansion to talk. They only need to ask their descendants to ask Yu Tianlun to see what other people mean. Yu Tianlun and Honglu Temple are like a " "Secret Forum", where aristocratic families "communicate" through this forum. Account registration is not open to the public. Only members of the aristocratic family can log in to the forum. Yu Tianlun is the moderator.
After everything was figured out, Chu Qing stood up, rubbed his numb thighs, and leaned against the locust tree.
Most of these young officials who were coming in and out had a frivolous pace and looked like their bodies had been drained by alcohol and sex. It was almost noon when they emerged from the gorgeous official sedans. They were all yawning and their accessories were valuable. , the official robes are bright and shiny, and they want to tell the world that they come from aristocratic families. On the contrary, the senior officials with qualifications and experience only need to put a few patches on their official robes.
"Aristocratic family, aristocratic family..." Chu Qing whispered twice, feeling quite emotional.
The aristocratic family, or family, is an inevitable result of the advancement of history and social development.
In fact, the aristocratic families have never disappeared, even in later generations, but the names of these aristocratic families have changed. They are not the head of the family, direct lineage or branch, but the old uncle, your second aunt, my fourth uncle, etc.
In the Chang Dynasty, a son of an aristocratic family wanted to go to the Imperial Academy to be gilded, so he asked his father. He said to ask the head of the family, and he asked the head of the family. The head of the family said which branch of the family is a siye, and you can find this siye to enroll you.
In later generations, if a child wants to go to a certain university, he asks his father, and his father says to ask your second uncle. He understands. When he meets the second uncle, the second uncle says that your uncle is in the admissions office, and then he goes to his uncle. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally said OK. There happens to be a quota for a child from a remote mountain village. I will write your name to squeeze him out. What are you talking about? The score is not enough. It’s okay. I’ll ask your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law is from the hospital. Let me know. He will give you a hospital certificate saying that you are physically disabled and mentally strong, and you suffer from any disease, which can give you extra points. After you enroll in school, if you go to the cafeteria and steal a pair of headphones, you will definitely be guaranteed graduate school. After you finish graduate school, your uncle will give you some extra points. arrange work.
Whether it is an aristocratic family or a family, the two situations are very similar, that is, a group of "relatives" connected by blood share resources, create resources, expand resources, and make profits for their own family, because when their family benefits, they themselves benefit.
This situation is an inevitable process and will appear sooner or later. Once it appears, it will never disappear. A brief disappearance is just a different way of existing.
Chu Qing did not feel that he had the ability to make this common situation disappear, but it was not a big problem to get these so-called aristocratic families to restrain themselves.
After figuring out the situation at Honglu Temple, Chu Qing was ready to go back.
But Fu San asked curiously: "Master, why do you think these aristocratic families are always greedy and never satisfied? Whatever they see, they will try their best to catch it. Why is this?"
Chu Qing scratched his forehead: "The aristocratic families in the Chang Dynasty are actually very similar to the capitalists. When the capitalists come to the world, from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and dirty things. The aristocratic families call this situation ' Capitalists have the greatest money, and aristocratic families have the greatest interests, and money is also part of the interests, so capitalists and aristocratic families are very similar."
Fu San didn't understand, but he still said oh.
"The three views are different, and the starting point for looking at things is also different." Chu Qing turned around and pointed at the old locust tree with a smile: "Let me explain it this way, just this tree, different people will have different views after seeing it For example, after merchants see this tree, they will think of cutting it down and trimming it into lumber, and then sell it. Capitalists will think of bragging about this tree as a sacred tree that is rare in thousands of years, and then cut it down. Cut it into small pieces, sell it slowly, or give it away, in short, in exchange for the maximum benefit."
Fu San suddenly realized: "Master, although you didn't explain clearly, I understand."
"Just understand." Chu Qing asked with a smile: "Then what are you thinking about when you are standing under this tree?"
"What I want to do is..." Fu San frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he replied: "What I want to do is to jump up hard and try to touch the slightly swaying branch at the top."
"That's what I thought too. When the autumn wind blows and the tree branches sway, I just want to jump up and touch them."
Stretching out, Chu Qing smiled and said, "Go back and discuss it with Chen Yan and Jiang Yuesheng. Next, we should clean up Honglu Temple."
Just as Fu San responded, the doorman came out.
I guess they saw that these two people didn't look like serious people after squatting for a long time, so they walked over directly.
The yamen servant was a dark-faced man, carrying a fire stick. He frowned and said, "Why did you two stay so long outside the yamen office of Honglu Temple?"
Fu San picked up the buns on the ground and uttered one word: "Get out."
The yamen officer looked angry: "How dare you insult me?"
"I dare to stand here and linger, and when I see you, I tell you to get out." Fu San said with an idiot look on his face: "It's obvious that you are the one who can't afford to offend. You don't have a fucking brain?"
The officer was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists: "That makes sense, I'll say goodbye."
Chu Qing laughed and found that Fu San's logical thinking was getting clearer and clearer.
Just as the two were about to leave, there was a burst of yelling and cursing from the Honglu Temple. A very strong young man walked out quickly, turning his head three times. Behind him were a group of Honglu Temple chiefs who were yelling and yelling.
The young man's face was full of anger, and he clenched his fists tightly, but he did not dare to make a move. He was pushed and pushed out by the officials of Honglu Temple.
"Okay, I will return to the East China Sea tomorrow, and I will wait for you. After the new year, I will bring the people of the Hunu tribe to the capital to find the emperor to sue you bunch of dog officials. If I don't mess with you guys, my name is Cao Hu. Son, write it backwards!"
