Chapter 177: The Storm Will Rise
Nominally, there is no distinction between superior and inferior cabinets, and they are all built to commemorate the deceased emperor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But the Longtu Pavilion was built at the earliest, and the imperial book codex of Taizong was hidden, and the Tianzhang Pavilion was built later, and the testament of Emperor Zhenzong was hidden. At this time, in the hearts of people, they still feel that the Longtu Pavilion built first is a little more prominent, and the ranking of bachelors is also high. Although in the emperor's heart, he may not think so, he still often stayed in his father's cabinet.
When the official reaches this level, he has already surpassed the normal grinding according to qualifications, and the promotion and decline cannot be taken too seriously. In particular, the official is no longer very important, and it depends on the level of the post and the importance of the dispatch. When he was a servant, the official was the most important identity label of the official, and as soon as he arrived at the attendant officer, this label lost its luster.
Xu Ping is in the middle of the Ministry of Officers and Soldiers, and the museum is directly promoted to the Longtu Pavilion to be systematized, if in ordinary times, it can be said that it is a step to the sky, and it is inevitable that people will be criticized. But today, compared with Fan Zhongyan, another person who has been promoted to the system, he is overshadowed, it is really ordinary, and others are not interested.
Fan Zhongyan was transferred from the right secretary to the member of the Ministry of Rites, promoted to the Tianzhang Pavilion to be systematized, and sentenced to the national prison, which is a real step to the sky. Tianzhang Pavilion and Longtu Pavilion are both from the fourth grade, which is under the Longtu Pavilion to be systematized, which is also the minimum requirement for judging the country's eunuchs. With Tianzhang Pavilion to be controlled, Fan Zhongyan's lowly official of the Ministry of Rites was irrelevant.
Xu Ping has always felt strange, and when he saw Fan Zhongyan last year, his official was still extremely low, and he had just climbed to the side of the outsider. If he was promoted in the normal order, he would not know what year and month he would be promoted to Langzhong, and it would be impossible for him to play such a significant role in history in the days to come. Today, on the same day, I realized that Fan Zhongyan met the noble person in his life, completely crossed the ladder of Lang Lang and Langzhong, and soared in one step.
Although there is a system of promotion according to seniority like the official, it is not as rigid as the promotion of the official, and if you really encounter the appreciation of the emperor and the minister, you can cross the gap between the official and the attendant. Those officials who can be promoted rapidly, such as Zhang Shixun in the past, Fan Zhongyan now, and Bao Zheng in the future, have all been promoted from this road.
Without this road, they are like Xu Ping, who will not be able to reach the final position if they are promoted every year.
Thinking about this, Xu Ping accepted the congratulations of his colleagues, arranged the affairs in the yamen by the way, and returned to his official hall, sitting alone in a daze.
The only people who can make Fan Zhongyan rise up all of a sudden, think about it, only Wang Zeng, the prime minister, and maybe Xue Kui and a few other former ministers who are already old and ignore things. The emperor definitely didn't have this thought, the matter of abolishing the queen blocking the palace gate last year had just subsided, and it was impossible for him to recruit the people who were driven out of the capital at that time back for reuse. However, the emperor Zhao Zhen's temperament is soft, Fan Zhongyan himself is an honest official, and he has a voice for the government, and he will not oppose it if the minister insists on it, and he is already weak in heart when he abolishes the queen.
Fan Zhongyan is back, and Kong Daofu probably won't stay outside for long, they are already relying on each other.
Xu Ping doesn't remember much about the history of his previous life, but the general trend is still clear, and he understands in his heart, either intentionally or unintentionally, that the forces that want to bring down Lu Yijian slowly begin to gather. I don't know which day, by which person, will suddenly provoke a monstrous wave and lift down Lu Yijian, who now looks as stable as Mount Tai.
Xu Ping was tired of the factional strife between the DPRK and China, and he didn't like it either. As an official, Xu Ping has never deliberately cultivated his own faction, and speaking from his heart, with his relationship with the emperor, it is really unnecessary. But now Lu Yijian has become a huge obstacle to the government, and even Xu Ping feels that he should retreat.
It's really Lu Yijian's selfishness is too heavy, although his ability can ensure the normal operation of the government and politics without any major chaos, but the cronyism is unbearable. Now the promotion of officials is basically controlled by Lu Yijian's faction, and if it were not for his own people, he would not be able to go to key positions. Accepting bribes is a trivial matter, and the most important thing is to block the way for other officials to be promoted. The consequences of this are very serious, and once Lü Yijian falls or retreats, it will cause a shortage of officials and cause chaos in the government.
Not only did they control the promotion of officials, but Lu Yijian's faction also openly interfered in the affairs of the officials of various yamen in the capital. The third division is Xu Ping here, with the support of the emperor behind him, and he can clean up the officials from the beginning on the grounds of fraud. If you change the yamen, even if you catch such a handle, you will not be able to replace the public officials on a large scale, and you will be retaliated against if the punishment is heavy.
The harm of the confluence of officials is far more serious than corruption, and the harm is systemic. It is easy to see that no one in the public service system is not greedy, and if you don't have money, you can't do anything, and if you have money, you can get anything done. Unspoken rules replaced explicit rules, and the imperial court's legal system was completely abandoned, and could only operate according to money and factions.
Now that there are signs of this, Xu Ping also has a headache. In such a system that has been corroded to the point of being riddled with holes, no matter what measures are taken, it is useless, and any policy will turn bad at the bottom. is the newly opened field business, if it weren't for the purge of the officials, if it wasn't for the transfer of people from Yongzhou, Xu Ping himself might not be able to control it.
Lu Yijian is here, and the system he created is as unshakable as Mount Tai, and no one else can interfere at all.
In the past few months of the third division, Xu Ping also felt a little tired, not tired of doing things, but tired of his heart. No matter what you do, you must first fight with your boss to get a pass. Then you will be able to fight with your subordinates, and if you don't pay attention, they will be able to turn a good thing into a bad thing. The means are a little worse, and the only choice is to stand up, ignore specific affairs, and live in a daze.
If Lu Yijian's ability was a little worse, the matter would not be so serious, it was because his ability was too strong, his selfishness was heavy, and others were helpless, so the matter became more and more serious. In other words, there are a lot of handles that can be grasped, and it is easy to drive out of the court if the influence is bad.
There is really no way to face Lu Yijian, no matter how tricky the matter is, he can always handle it properly, and it cannot be said that he is incompetent. If the officials are capable, what else can they blame? It is difficult for outsiders to be caught by outsiders for this kind of crime, and if it is not done well, it will be beaten upside down, but it is said that it is squeezing out meritocracy. Li Di put himself on it, but he couldn't shake Lu Yijian in the slightest, which shows his difficulties.
As for greedy for money, Lu Yijian has no handle to catch at all, and in Xu Ping's opinion, he can't use honesty to demand officials. As long as it's not too outrageous, it's better to be tolerant of this kind of thing. One is that it will come to you at some point, and the other is that it can easily become a tool for factional struggle.
I used to be fine in the place, but when I entered the court, I really worked with Lu Yijian for a while, and Xu Ping couldn't stand it anymore. Although he didn't have the ability to take Lu Yijian down, if someone did it, Xu Ping was still happy to see it, and he didn't even mind helping him in the back. In any case, taking advantage of the current peaceful time, the imperial court must do something, and it can no longer be so lifeless and ******** in a stagnant water. (To be continued.) )
