Chapter 46 is not for the state and county, and there is no pavilion

In the side hall of the Xiande Palace, Li Jiancheng dined with Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, but Fang Xuanling drank millet porridge while making a report very quickly: "Hebei Thirty-nine Prefecture Thorn History, merit evaluation, seven excellent, twenty-one good, eight acceptable, three incompetent, these three thorn histories, according to the law should be punished......"

Li Jiancheng suddenly raised his hand and interrupted Fang Xuanling's speech: "Chen Ying has resigned, and Gao Shilian has also resigned, do you know?" ”

Fang Xuanling put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Li Jiancheng and said solemnly: "The minister knows." ”

Li Jiancheng said with a confused and distressed face: "Why did they resign, do you know?" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "The minister knows a little bit about it!" ”

Li Jiancheng stared at Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng with wide eyes: "Do you also want to resign?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled and said: "The minister has no reason to resign, nor does he have the desire to resign, therefore, the minister does not resign!" ”

Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Aren't you afraid that you will become the target of public criticism and be hated by others?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled and said: "The purpose of the ministers is to do things for the common people in the world, if you can't even afford a little resentment and scolding from the world, how can you take on the well-being of the common people in the world?" ”

Li Jiancheng got up and nodded again and again: "Well said!" You can say that again! Wei Xuancheng, you are a man! I will issue an edict now, and you will succeed Chen Ying and serve as a scholar. ”

Wei Zheng was choked and coughed, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, no!" ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned and said suspiciously: "Why?" ”

Wei Zheng said solemnly: "It's not that the minister is afraid of taking responsibility, but because Shangshu Province is a cumbersome position to deal with the affairs of the military state, and it must be held by someone with experience as a magistrate." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded,

Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Have experience as a magistrate?" ”

"Not bad!" Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "The minister does not object to Chen Ying serving as the left servant of Shangshu, not that Chen Ying is the former minister of His Majesty's Qiandi, but because Chen Ying once governed Lingzhou, and built Lingzhou, a wild land, into a fortress south of the Yangtze River in just two years, and the Lingzhou General Mansion has six prefectures under its jurisdiction, with a population of less than 50,000 in the second year of Wude, and in the fourth year of Wude, the population of Lingzhou has exceeded 120,000 households, nearly 500,000 people. Chen Ying was ordered to govern Henan Mansion in the fourth year of Wude, and governed the eighteen counties of Henan Mansion without leaving any stone unturned, and never closed his door at night! Chen Ying's appointment as the left servant of Shangshu is well deserved! ”

Wei Zheng nodded and added: "Yes, so the minister recommends Yang Gongren and Fang Xuanling to serve as Shangshu's left servants!" ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned, and Fang Xuanling was also stunned.

Fang Xuanling never thought that as Li Jiancheng's confidant, Wei Zheng would recommend himself as Shangshu's left servant, the head of the hundred officials.

Wei Zheng said seriously: "Yang Gongren has served as a state and county, and Fang Xuanling has assisted in abolishing the King of Qin to govern the twenty-four states in Hedong, and they are all good candidates; However, the minister has no local experience, so he cannot be selected. ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng with a suspicious look on his face and said, "Why do you have to have experience as a magistrate?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled faintly: "A person who has been a magistrate is more familiar with the people's and official conditions of various states and counties in the world, no matter how he prevaricates and whitewashes below, he can rely on experience to distinguish right from wrong." Shooting left and right is the key position of the prime minister and the head of the prime minister......"

Li Jiancheng listened carefully to Wei Zheng's words.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng seriously and said: "Your Majesty must remember a principle, not for the state and county, and not for the pavilion. ”

Li Jiancheng turned to look at the Zhongshushe: "Come on, write it down, it's not a state or county, it's not a pavilion!" ”

Chen Ying is not here, otherwise he will definitely applaud Wei Zheng. As the head of the country's government, you can't rely on a few articles to govern. The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty followed an unwritten rule: "Non-Jinshi do not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet!" ”

But what about the facts?

In ancient times, the Hanlin Academy was equivalent to the current Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the treatment of Hanlin was almost the same as that of the current academicians of the two academies. It is a joke that academicians of the two academies went to become officials. Study, research, and being an official are two completely different concepts.

As a result, the first and second assistants of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty also looked for chapters and sentences every day, and criticized red and flowers, but in fact, there was no fart.

The real root cause of the demise of the Ming Dynasty was the abolition of post stations. In ancient times, the post station was a place for people who passed on official documents and military information or for officials to and from to and from where they could eat and lodge and change horses, and there were no high-quality resources available and no actual benefits to be gained. It's a link to the place.

In the Ming Dynasty, post stations were mainly managed by local health stations, which were both military establishments and geographical units, which governed areas similar to those under the jurisdiction of the political division, prefectures, prefectures, and counties. Obviously, the actual power behind the post guard is the guard. The post man asked the local government for money, and the magistrate had no reason not to give it. Liu Mao gave a letter to Chongzhen in the matter, saying the disadvantages of the post station, and asked to abolish the post station and remove redundant personnel, which can save 300,000 taels of silver for the imperial court every year.

This amount is actually equivalent to the expenditure of the palace in a month. As soon as Chongzhen heard that he could save money, he felt that he could do it, but the cabinet was three-phased, and countless officials in the imperial court had no one to stop the implementation of this bastard's out-of-the-box policy. In fact, the loss of the post station, the Ming Dynasty court lost control of the place, which was a catastrophe.

However, the Xiangguo in the Tang Dynasty's political affairs hall, they have experienced local states and counties, and know what policies are seriously harmful to the country, if Li Jiancheng wants to abolish this post station, I am afraid that the province of Menxia will directly refute his holy decree, thinking that it is a chaotic life, and will not grant it at all.

Even if the emperor behaves mischiefly, the impact will be controlled within a very small range.

With the arrival of the hour, all the officials gathered outside the Hall of Virtue, waiting for the court meeting.

However, at this time, the square outside the Xiande Hall could completely stand down and come to participate in the court meeting, unlike the original, when Li Yuan held the court meeting in the Liangyi Palace, there were more than 3,800 Beijing officials in Chang'an City, and more than 1,800 people were qualified to participate in the court meeting.

In fact, so many people attended the court meeting, and there was no use for fart. After all, when there is no speaker, the sound of people speaking can be transmitted to dozens or hundreds of people and can hear it clearly.

Now, more than 3,000 officials have been streamlined, and the imperial court has only released as many as 1.5 million guan, plus the clan has reduced the title and reduced the title, in fact, this move can save the imperial court financial expenditure, which is about 2 million guan.

The officials were talking.

"I heard that Chen Ying asked for his resignation from the left servant, and Gao Shilian asked for his resignation from the Ministry of Servants."

"Yes, these ministers who are close to His Majesty should also be released to the state and county. In public and private, His Majesty needs to press these heroes. ”

"Yes, give an explanation to the government and the opposition, and protect them by the way."

"Wei Zheng, has Wei Zheng ever handed in the resignation form?"

The official was about to speak loudly again, when he suddenly noticed someone tugging on his sleeve, he looked back and saw Wei Zheng walking behind him, and immediately closed his mouth and bowed his head.

Wei Zheng walked into the Hall of Virtue without saying a word.

After Wei Zheng entered the main hall.

The official looked at Wei Zheng's back and said with palpitations: "It's so dangerous!" ”

"Beware of the calamity that comes out of the mouth!"

"I heard that neither Fang Xuanling nor Wei Zheng have resigned!"

"Bah, do they still want face?"

"Aren't you afraid that someone will go to their house and throw feces?"

Suddenly, the crowd came to a standstill.

The officials looked behind them, and Chen Ying came slowly.

Compared with Chen Ying, the officials were more convinced. Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling are both simple and brutal one-size-fits-all for elite soldiers and simple administration, but Chen Ying is more humane.

He created the retirement pension system, and in the future, officials can enjoy a large amount of retirement pension. Moreover, this retirement pension can be stored in Datang Tongli Money Village, and you can get one percent interest every year, although one percent interest is not much, but after many years, the amount is considerable.

Because of Chen Ying, not only brought pension protection to all Tang Dynasty soldiers, but also formulated a pension system for sergeants who died in battle and retired due to disability.

It can be said that the officials present hate Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling very much, but they can't hate Chen Ying at all, a minister who is really good to them.

Chen Ying slowly walked past the ranks of officials, and all the officials stopped to pay attention.

As the officials entered the main hall one after another.

Li Jiancheng also strode in.

After the hundred officials saluted Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng sat on the throne. Waved at the courtier.

The courtier took the edict that had already been written, and read it out in a frustrated manner: "Chen Ying, the left servant of the Shangshu shoots, worships the three divisions of the Kaifu Yi, and seals the Duke of Liang; Wei Zheng, the right servant of the Shangshu shooting, worshiped the secretary and supervisor (from the third product), Huangmen Shilang (deputy governor of the province), participated in the pre-court politics, and was named the county prince of Xiangguo; Gao Shilian, the servant of the Ministry of Dismissal, the waiter of the Qianhuangmen (deputy governor of Menxia Province), the male of Feng Xu County, Fang Xuanling dismissed the right servant of Shangshu, and the right servant of Qianshangshu shot ......"

The ministers in the main hall were suddenly confused, and they all exchanged heads, all of them with puzzled expressions.

"Kaifu Yi is the same as the three divisions, from one product to one product...... Twenty-six-year-old from a product"

At this moment, Yang Gongren, who was promoted to the left servant of Shangshu and became the head of the hundred officials, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the secretary and supervisor are from the third grade, but what does this "participating in the government" mean?"

Li Jiancheng stood up with a radiant look, and the ministers below were suddenly silent. Li Jiancheng said: "Are you Aiqing puzzled by "participating in the government"? ”

Yu Wenshi and said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to clarify your doubts." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "From now on, all those who are concurrently officials in the names of "participating in the government affairs", "participating in the gains and losses of the council", and "Pingzhang national planning" must attend and participate in the state meeting held in the Menxia Provincial Government Hall every afternoon. ”

The ministers couldn't help but exclaim.

Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling with different expressions.

The officials dispersed, and the ministers did not leave immediately, but crowded to Fang Xuanling's side to congratulate him.

Fang Xuanling bowed his hand and saluted the officials around him.

Yu Wenshi said enviously: "Xuan Ling was promoted to the right servant of Shangshu, and he is already the respect of the prime minister." ”

The ministers chimed in.

……

As usual, the hundred officials dispersed.

Chen Ying was left behind again.

Even Chen Ying himself didn't expect that Li Jiancheng would be so generous to him.

Kaifu Yi is the same as the three divisions, which is a kind of high-ranking official position during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the Han Dynasty, the three divisions were Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong, and the three princes of Zuo Tianzi were Yin and Yang, Ping Bangguo, and everything was unified. Cao Cao served as the Han Sikong, opened the government and built the government, laying the foundation of the Cao Wei regime.

Sima Zhao opened the palace for the general and laid the foundation of the Jin Dynasty. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian opened the mansion as a prime minister and established the Great Sui Dynasty. However, after Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the three princes and three divisions no longer have the right to open the mansion, and the opening of the mansion with the three divisions has become a civil and prose official, from the first product.

That is to say, from now on, Chen should be in the Li Tang court. Except for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan, there is no one he can worship.

It's a fictitious title, but it's an honor.

However, from Liang Guogong to Liang Guogong, Chen Ying is also satisfied. The state of Liang, later known as the Shangqiu region, was located in the eastern part of Henan. However, Liang Kingdom, although it has the same sound, is in the northwest, but in terms of food, it is much larger than Liang Kingdom.

Of course, Chen Ying didn't pay attention to Yu Lu or anything at all.

Under the leadership of the chamberlain, Chen Ying walked along the palace corridor to the royal inner garden.

At this time, Li Jiancheng and Li Jing were standing on the "Yin Mountain", overlooking the topography of the mountains and rivers.

Seeing Chen Ying's arrival, Li Jing squinted his eyes and frowned: "Jieli suddenly moved Tuli and Ashina Sheer to the south, saying that he was sending them to suppress the foreign rebellion, but his intention was to set up obstacles on the route of our army's attack on Dingxiang. ”

Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about these two people, they are no longer a threat!" ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned and said, "Why? ”

Chen Ying said lightly: "The minister plans to set off in a few days, and it will be a sudden profit!" ”

……

Fang Xuanling returned home with a relaxed body and found that the house was already full of guests. Of course, most of the people who came were former ministers of the Qin Palace, such as Qin Qiong, Niu Junda, Duan Zhixuan, Gao Shilian and Xie Yingdeng.

Qin Qiong rushed to the ground and dragged Fang Xuanling to the side of the chief case.

Fang Xuanling grinned in pain, and kept struggling: "Alas...... Pain and pain......"

Qin Qiong smirked "hehe", disagreed, and pressed Fang Xuanling to sit behind the desk.

Qin Qiong smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone, today we want to give Fang Xiangguo a good celebration." ”

The crowd roared, "Good ......"

Fang Xuanling looked at the excited crowd in amazement, speechless for a while!

Qin Qiong said with emotion: "Prime Minister! Fang Xiangguo finally got what he wanted today...... You say, Gao is not happy?

The crowd shouted in unison: "Rejoice! ”

Qin Qiong said: "Should you drink to celebrate!" ”

The crowd shouted in unison: "Drink!" Celebrate! ”

The crowd burst into laughter in unison.

Mrs. Fang's Lu smiled and commanded the maid Zhang Luo's wine banquet.

Fang Xuanling came back to his senses, looked at everyone with a smile, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, he also raised his hand suddenly, and shouted with everyone: "Drink!" Celebrate! ”

There was a burst of cheers in the room.

Fang Xuanling raised his hand and muttered to himself, "Your Highness...... If you learn about this, but you don't know what to do, be happy for Fang Xuanling, or should you be upset for Fang Xuanling? ”

Fang Xuanling smiled, tears falling.
