Chapter 621: Give You a Golden House
If in the first year of Yongle, Zhu Di's overall characteristic was to seek stability, then in the second year of Yongle, it was to seek change.
Zhu Di's strength is also undoubtedly revealed, reforming the imperial examination, breaking the inheritance system of civil officials, when it is opposed, Zhu Di will increase the assessment of hundreds of officials, aren't you worried that future generations will lose the opportunity to be officials? Then I even deprived you of the opportunity, in terms of ruthlessness, I am not targeting anyone, you are all rubbish!
Sure enough, just after testing the hundred officials for the first time, Zhu Di tested the officials up and down the Dali Temple.
When the assessment results come out, it can be said that the government and the opposition are shocked!
After Zhu Di personally tested it, he found that a large number of scribes, especially those who had been more than ten or twenty years old, were particularly proficient in the imperial court decrees, not only knowing the decrees, but also knowing where the loopholes were, and they could often point out the problems with a single hit.
Huang Guan designed five analytical questions related to the case, and the results were all analyzed by these scribes, and the answers were the clearest and clearest.
After the Tang Dynasty, the Criminal Department was responsible for criminal cases, and Dali Temple was responsible for the review of major cases, that is, Dali Temple had the power to overturn the verdict of the Criminal Department.
Moreover, the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, collectively known as the Three Law Divisions, represent the highest judicial body of the Ming Dynasty and have very great authority.
The affairs of Dali Temple itself are also very busy, in addition to the official officials of the imperial court, there are many scribes who are responsible for sorting out files, classifying them, and even writing judgments.
These people are not simple, they have been in the middle of the yamen for a long time, they eat up and down, and they are at ease. Moreover, all officials who were born as jinshi will not stay in a yamen for too long, and they will be evaluated once every three years, or even if they don't have three years, they will pat their butts and leave.
Because the little officials lost the possibility of rising, they gradually became "oil", eating and taking cards, and there was almost nothing they dared not do.
The common people often say that the king of Hades is easy to see, and the little ghosts are unstoppable, and they are the ones who are talking about.
All in all, this is a group of people who are both capable, but also have extremely bad reviews, and the good and the bad are mixed.
What should be done about it?
Zhu Di gave his answer.
After the test, Zhu Di immediately issued an order, suspended Liu Guan, the secretary of Dali Temple, and appointed a scribe named Sun Huan to temporarily act in Dali Temple!
When this decree came down, the whole officialdom went crazy.
Dali Siqing is a third-grade official, Sun Huan has jumped from a scribe with no quality to a high-ranking official with three grades, how many levels has he crossed in the middle? I'm afraid two slaps won't count.
That's ridiculous, isn't it?
Liu Guan was born in the imperial examination, and his reputation was very good, and he enjoyed a good reputation among the civil officials. The case of Xie Jin was handled before, and he was the top, although he didn't want to understand Jin's life, but he did his best.
A third-grade senior official was suspended just because of his bad test results, and a small official suddenly became a big Jiuqing.
I can't say anything about it.
Soon there were rumors that Liu Chun was angry with Liu Guan in order to solve Jin's case, so he deliberately designed to frame him. And it was the former Liuyuan Huangguan who helped Liu Chun frame the good guys.
This person is an old minister of Jianwen, so the lord is dead, but he is still alive in the world, and he still goes to hold Liu Chun's stinky feet.
It's shameless!
Some people also said that he framed Liu Guan in order to disrupt the imperial court, in order to avenge Zhu Yunwen, with sinister intentions, and he must immediately show his head to the public to set an example.
The same person, some people say that he is shameless, and some people say that he is scheming...... Aren't they afraid of contradicting each other?
The people who spread the rumors don't care at all.
Since it's a rumor, it's not for everyone to believe it. Or rather, people will choose which statement to believe based on their preferences. But no matter which way it is said, it is not good for Huang Guan, and this is the result they want.
"Sure enough, it doesn't grow!"
In the face of slander, Huang Guan smiled calmly.
In the Jianwen Dynasty that year, Fang Xiaoru advocated changing the law, but he was attacked by all sides, and the method was withdrawn. The difference is that Fang Xiaoru does not have strong support, and in the face of attacks, he is stumbling left and right, and the decree cannot be pushed forward at all.
And what about yourself?
There is no doubt that for example, filial piety is too lucky.
not only has the support of the Son of Heaven, but also the support of Liu Chun. The backer is strong, and all kinds of gossip can't hurt him at all.
God-given opportunity, how could you miss it!
Huang Guan continued to step up the assessment, and the household department, the Guozijian, and the two yamen came down.
A large number of problematic officials were found out, and likewise, a group of skilled scribes were also singled out.
Huang Guan was unceremonious, and played the results to Zhu Di, and Zhu Di waved his pen, and all of them were overpromoted, and all of them became high-ranking officials.
At this point, the civil servants could no longer bear it.
They threatened to resist these lowly officials, and if they set foot in the yamen, everyone would take leave to go home. Never work under the same roof with them.
There are many more people, busy with their work, trying to find out the tricks of these scribes, to bring out their scandals, or to set a trap for them to be fooled.
For a group, the sudden addition of outsiders is bound to be ostracized. And this time the exclusion effect is stronger than ever, to the point of life and death.
"Liu Chun, you have to find a way to make these people invincible, they are the people I have promoted, it is about my face, if I lose face, I have to settle accounts with you."
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he patted his ass and left.
Liu Chun spat at his back.
Zhu Laosi is getting more and more excessive, who knows what your vision is, you picked it out, why did Lao Tzu pay for you? Liu Chun complained fiercely for a while, but in the reform of the imperial examination, he was already standing in the same trench as Zhu Di. Zhu Di's face is nothing, and the great cause of reform is very important.
I'm not bothering about you Zhu Laosi...... Liu Chun thought secretly.
"Your name is Sun Huan?"
"It's Xiaguan." The speaker was in his early forties, with a dark complexion and a slight forward leaning back, the result of a long sedentary office. Judging from his facial features, this person is an honest one.
But he was able to win the first place in the test, and he was able to work in Dali Temple for more than ten years, and he never made a mistake, which shows that this person is by no means simple.
What should I do?
"Sun Huan, this official has always been open and honest. Your Majesty promoted you with some intentions. Your Majesty, of course, hopes that you can hold on and not lose his face. Since ancient times, too many people have not been able to pass the two levels of wealth and beauty. You are about to take office, and there will be too many people who will make up their minds on you. Your Majesty has given you a chance, but you can't keep you out from the wind and rain, you must face the challenge head-on. ”
Liu Chun got up, asked Sun Huan to follow him, and said as he walked: "Your family is poor, you studied when you were a child, and later because your mother was sick, you had to give up the road of the imperial examination, and in order to treat your mother, you became a scribe again." I know all these things. So, before you become an official, I'll give you a chance. ”
Liu Chun said, came to the front of a room, and opened the key.
When Sun Huan entered, he was instantly stunned!
He was indeed stunned, because as far as his eyes could see, there was yellow and clear gold everywhere! In the chest, on the wooden shelves, there are countless gold.
Sun Huan was dumbfounded, "Lord Liu, this, what does this mean?" ”
Liu Chun smiled slightly, "Take whatever you want!" If you have something you want to do but didn't do, let it go. The gold here is your confidence! Take as much as you want, do whatever you want. But only indulge this time, after becoming an official, you have to take care of your hands and feet, Jinyiwei is not a vegetarian! ”
Liu Chun gave the key to Sun Huan......
