Chapter 857: Party Strife

The eldest brother in Lu Xiu's mouth is last year's Jinshi, who learned from Sima Guang. www.biquge.info Liu Anshi is also from the family of the eunuch, Liu Anshi's father Liu Hang, Jinshi and the first, successively served as Yucheng and Xipu County, and the final official is too servant.

Liu Anshi had already seen what he said when he was a child. When Liu Hang was the pastoral envoy of Henan, Wen Yanbo was in the Privy Council, and he heard about it, and he always called Liu Anshi to report. Liu Anshi said calmly: "Taishi Yang asked to go to the phase, and there was talk outside that you would take his place. Wen Yanbo said: "As for Taishi Yang's corruption of the world, how can the successors make a difference?" Liu Anshi arched his hand and said: "Although Anshi is a junior, he privately thinks that it is not so serious. Is Yang Taishi's old policy really in line with people's wishes and for the benefit of others? If this is not the case, you should get rid of the harm and promote the benefit, which is only a matter of moments. Wen Yanbo didn't answer, just said that Liu Anshi had never seen the world, but he also praised him for being upright and outspoken.

In fact, what Yang Daoqi did was just to adapt to the situation of officialdom, not his original intention. But when he sat in this position, Yang Daoqi often couldn't help himself and began to seek benefits for his comrades.

Even if Taizu repeatedly strictly forbade party strife, since Dashun established a system with civil officials as the main body of governance, how has party strife ever stopped?

After all, although Dashun's Zaifu's power has been weakened, he is also Zaifu! Under one person, above ten thousand, it is definitely the majority in the court, because the losing side is either degraded or exiled.

The cruelty of the court struggle was also tacitly approved by a generation of emperors. The art of the emperor is just a balance between the left and right. The Yang Party came to power, the Han Party went into opposition, and naturally another new party emerged, which was personally supported by Emperor Yuan Shou. Otherwise, do you think that Xu Chongguang, a stubborn old man, can work in the household department for six or seven years?

The household department is the state's money bag, and if it falls into the hands of the Yang Party, it will definitely be squandered long ago. And Xu Chongguang is in a hurry to get to the top, he can't do anything that damages his reputation, and he will definitely not dig the Great Wall himself. Therefore, Dashun was able to operate smoothly in the face of continuous natural and man-made disasters in the past few years, and Xu Chongguang did make great efforts.

However, feng shui took turns, after the fall of the Yang Party, the new party came to power, and then the power of the court came out of an absolute vacuum.

Without him, he was all scared of Lu Chengqi's butcher's knife.

Think about it, since the founding of Dashun, all civilian officials have been treated favorably, and few have been sentenced to death in public, probably to protect the face of scholars. At most, they are degraded, confiscated, or exiled. But on the bloody and terrifying day in the second year of Hongxiang, Yang Dang was directly slaughtered cleanly, with such a thunderous method, which official is not everyone in danger and panicked? Where do you still have the heart to fight for the party!

After the new deal stabilized, many people began to join together again to seek group interests. Most of what they seek is the privilege of officials, or the position of head and auxiliary cabinet that all civil servants dream of. When Xu Chongguang took office, he was already sixty-five years old, how many years can he still work?

For a time, the Wen Party headed by Wen Yanbo and the Han Party led by Han Qi began to slowly accumulate power, fighting openly and secretly in the court, all of which were aimed at the position of the head and assistant of the cabinet.

As the emperor, Lu Chengqi also turned a blind eye. They fight for the rest, as long as they don't make mistakes, if they harm the interests of the people and the interests of the court, Lu Chengqi will never be soft.

Of course, Lu Chengqi will no longer be as straightforward as before, taking people to prison, fabricating charges and then sentencing. This is not cost-effective, and it is easy to estranged monarchs and ministers. Mencius said: "The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard the king as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. "Face is given to each other, and if you do something wrong, you will be punished, then degrade, as long as it is not a big mistake. People can grow, and it is no longer suitable to wield a butcher knife.

Derogation is the most commonly used method by Lu Chengqi now, because the combination of the evaluation system of the Ministry of Officials and the secret evaluation of public opinion by the Supervision Department has become a system that can determine the promotion of officials.

Those who are evaluated for excellence, excellence, and good will be naturally promoted; If the evaluation is good and good, continue to stay in office, but the next term is still good and good, so it will have to be degraded to another level; As for the evaluation is poor, not to mention, it is directly demoted.

Generally speaking, those who move their hearts and minds in the court are not very good to the people, this evaluation system is naturally appropriate, and it will drop every three years, anyway, if you don't care about the people, the court will not treat you well. You have forgotten how to govern the place, treat the people like enemies, and when you are demoted to the rank of ten officials, you are equivalent to a small official, and your reputation is so bad that you can't even raise your head when you walk into the street. Don't say it, there have really been such officials over the years, and they have retired to the ten-rank officials, and it is difficult to rely on the people in the DPRK to save them. Why? Wu Xianzhi, the secretary of the ministry, is the emperor's person, without the emperor's nod, if you, a "bad" ten-grade official, are promoted and found out by the Supervision Department, Wu Xianzhi will be implicated! Smart people don't do stupid things, and Wu Xianzhi naturally refuses to do this.

This move directly hit the officials in seven inches, so that they no longer dared to take it lightly.

Fortunately, there are a large number of ten-rank officials to help, otherwise, they have three heads and six arms, and they can't govern a place.

And Lu Chengqi's newly created official system, after a local official leaves office, even the ten-rank officials will follow suit. The reason why the little officials dared to disobey the yang and the yin was to rely on the momentum of the ground snake, but now Lu Chengqi has even plugged this loophole, even if hundreds of thousands of ten-grade officials complain about the hardships, they are still in vain.

Of course, in this way, the workload of the ministry will be greater, but Lu Chengqi is not an emperor who is desperate to employ people inside, and he will soon have enough staff to work hard, and he can finally run smoothly.

Anyway, now the imperial examination in Dashun is every two years, are you still afraid that there will be no Jinshi!

Liu Anshi is a jinshi in this situation, Lu Chengqi saw that he had good knowledge and was quite upright, and after being released for a year, he was recalled to the capital and served as the teacher of the prince Lu Wei.

Although Liu Anshi is an out-and-out Confucian guard, he does not reject miscellaneous studies, but encourages Lu Wei to create, but there is a premise, you have to lay a good foundation. I have to say that Liu Anshi can be regarded as a good teacher, in addition to reciting "Analects" and "Mencius", he will also tell some stories, so that Lu Wei completely recognized him as a gentleman. Even in their spare time, Liu Anshi and Lu Wei discuss how to make water-powered tools.

How could Lu Wei object to such a teacher?

The children couldn't hide their words, Lu Wei showed off his good teacher to Lu Xiu, and Lu Xiu also listened to two classes, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Lu Chengqi listened to Lu Xiu's words, and had already guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and said with a smile: "Xiu'er is willing to learn, how can I not allow it?" It's just that you are practicing martial arts with A-Niang......"

Lu Xiu pouted and said, "Daddy, as long as you agree, Xiu'er will arrange it herself!" ”

Zhou Zhiruo chuckled beside her: "It's like a little adult!" ”

Lu Xiu was reluctant, threw herself into Zhou Zhiruo's arms, buried her head in it, and said in a muffled voice: "Auntie jokes about Xiu'er, Xiu'er is gone!" ”

Seeing that his daughter was coquettish, Lu Chengqi laughed even more, and seemed to have swept away his troubles. (To be continued.) )
