"Those who know me, so-and-so also", is a very high reward, for this, humility is not necessary, once again to express the heart of sincerity and death, it is also redundant. Qian Dingming didn't say anything, but his excitement and emotion, through his own body language, were fully revealed: his hands were clasped, his upper body was straight, and he leaned forward slightly; The eyes are bright, and the face is red.

As for "how this group of brothers will continue to contribute to the country and the court", I think that the prince has already held the wisdom pearl in his hands, and he just waits for orders.

Guan Zhuofan spoke: "Dingfang, you have been the head of the household department, the situation of the six departments is similar, officials, rituals, punishments, and workers, you are also familiar with it!" Tell me, when dealing with the six departments, such as the officials, who do you hate the most? What is the most annoying thing? ”

Qian Dingming was stunned for a moment, why did the prince turn his head and turn to this matter?

Qian Dingming is well aware of the disadvantages of the six departments, but Guan Zhuofan's question is a bit vague and not easy to answer - to deal with, it depends on who comes forward to deal with the six departments? And for what are you dealing with? Also, what does it mean that the prince specially put the officials out?

However, Qian Dingming's talent is extremely high, and after pondering for a while, Guan Zhuofan's mind has vaguely guessed a few points.

He sorted out his thoughts a little, and said solemnly: "Back to the prince, as the saying goes, 'the king of Hades is good, but the little ghost is difficult', the most troublesome thing is not the hall official, not the judge, but the scribe!" Take the Ministry of Officials as an example, an official, the first officer, the first officer, the first officer, the first officer, the officer, the officer, Beijing inspection and external inspection, abide by the system for life, and follow the naturalization. In short, from entering the office to vacancy, before and after death, you can not know the court officials, you can meet different officials, but every step you take, you have to deal with the scribe! ”

Guan Zhuofan gave a thumbs up. Praised: "Dingfang, insight into the key." In a word, he is really skilled in political affairs! ”

"The prince has won the prize. Well, every step of the way, that is. Every joint, if the scribe has a heart, can find all kinds of reasons, suppress official affairs, find fault with delays, do not fill in the desires, and do not give up! ”

After a pause, he continued: "I have a practice of 'everything must be cited and the case must be prosecuted'. But when it comes to the law, the higher the grade, the less familiar it is! ”

Guan Zhuofan asked knowingly: "Oh." What's going on? ”

"Back to the prince, the Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, with a high status, and almost all of the officials in the Ministry are from Hanlin, and very few of them are promoted by the members of the Ministry of Justice. At most, it can only be done in the secondary hall. This class of Hanlin born cousins, before the ministry. I don't know how many of the laws of a ministry I don't know? On official business, the hall official gave the officer, the official gave the scribe, the clerk did it, and the clerk came up with the documents layer by layer, and the hall official sat high, but in fact, it was just a 'painting line'! ”

Guan Zhuofan said: "I heard that some deputy halls don't come to the ministry for ten days and half a month, but is there anything to do? ”

"Why not?" Qian Dingming frowned slightly, "The officials of the Ministry of Officials, two are four deputies, the prince thinks about it, can you use six people just for 'painting'?" Some court officials, knowing well, go to the ministry to see things, but in the end it is just like 'only', what is the taste? I don't know what's wrong, I have to take responsibility, so why bother? It's better to be high, and have fun! ”

"Some cousins have been working in the Ministry of Officials for several years, and they are still a mess in their minds about various ministries - hehe, if they don't go to the ministry and don't look at things, how can they not be confused?"

After a pause, he sighed and said, "A hall official who is as proficient in ministry affairs as Yan Danchu is really rare - of course, he is not a ministry. ”

Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "So, I have to ask for it from the scribes." ”

"Isn't it?" Qian Dingming's face was solemn, "The so-called 'going to the ministry', the first thing to do is not a hall official, not a judge, but a scribe!" How many scribes are thus rich, and the best of them are extravagant, comparable to the princes of giant merchants! There is a saying in Beijing that "the east is rich and the west is expensive", and this "east rich" means that the scribes mostly live in the east of Zhengyang Gate and outside the Chongwen Gate, and the mansions are contiguous and pedestrians look sideways! ”

sighed again: "It's ridiculous to say: the scribes are hired by the imperial court, and they can't even be counted as unemployed, but they control official affairs, raise their hands to cover the sky, and inherit from father to son, which is really 'hereditary replacement' - the court still has no way to take them!" Alas, who told you that you are not familiar with the statutes, but others are familiar with the statutes? ”

Guan Zhuofan said: "There is such a saying: At the beginning of the country, the original intention of the imperial court to divide the power of officials was set up, but I don't know if it is true? ”

Qian Dingming glanced at Guan Zhuofan, his expression was slightly surprised, he groaned for a while, and said, "The prince is very knowledgeable!" There is such a saying, although it is not in plain text, but in the opinion of students, the possibility is very high. It is a pity that the court officials mostly regard the pen post style as a small member, and rarely have the opportunity to do important official business; In the end, it is just a 'general translation' -- between Chinese, Manchu, and Mongolian, it is just a repeated rotation between Chinese, Manchu, and Mongolian scripts. ”

He shook his head: "The 'power of the officials' has not been divided at all. ”

Guan Zhuofan said "hey" and said, "If you don't fight for yourself, there is no way for the immortals." ”

After a pause, he said with a smile: "Dingfang, let's fight for this breath - share the right of this 'Xu Official'!" ”

Although Qian Dingming had expected it, he was still shocked, and he said in a loud voice: "Please give the prince a lecture!" Ding Ming is willing to attach the tail! ”

"It is impossible to dismiss the scribes now; Rushing headlong into the ministry, wrestling with them, and messing with each other - hey, are you still doing your job? ”

After a pause, Guan Zhuofan said clearly: "So, four words - 'start anew'!" That is: they do theirs, we do ours! ”

"...... 'start anew'? Please make it clear! ”

"I ask that under the 'Advisory Committee', a 'Literature and Anthology Division' be set up -- well, when the time comes, this yamen will not really be called by this name, this name is too heavy with the 'Literature and Anthology Division' of the Ministry of Officials, it is too dazzling, and it is not appropriate. But for the sake of metaphor for the sake of clarity, let's call it that first. ”

"Yes, students understand!"

"After the officers and soldiers of Fan Xuan are discharged, they will be assigned to civilian posts, distribute and fill vacancies, and all the formalities will be handled in the 'Wenxuan Division' of the 'Advisory Committee', but the hands of the Ministry of Officials will only come forward after the fact and file them in the Ministry of Officials."

Qian Dingming's heart was shocked: Didn't this make a "small official department"?

He now understands where the connection between the "other half thing" and the "second thing" is!

Qian Dingming had such an idea in his mind: In the past, there was Wu Sangui's "Western Selection" and Nian Qianyao's "Annual Selection", and now, there is a "Guan Selection" or "Xuan Selection"!
