After Cixi listened to the government, she took the opportunity of rectifying the rule of officials, and the case was mentioned again. Cixi made up her mind that she would be severely punished and set an example for everyone. Lang Zhong Yu Guangxuan, who was in charge of the autumn trial of the General Office, was a native of Changzhou and was very resentful of He Guiqing, and he happened to be in charge of the case.

He thought that it was not enough to rely on the law of "the feudal officials lost the city and beheaded the prisoners, and the execution after the autumn" was not enough, and He Guiqing killed 19 people who knelt down to worship their fathers and elders, hurting the heavens and reason, and the crime should be aggravated, and he planned to be beheaded.

However, the intertwined political relationship has complicated the already convicted case, and lobbyists from all sides have tried to exonerate it. These people have their own hearts, some have a very close personal relationship, some are sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, some are unclear about right and wrong, and some are rudderless when they see the wind.

For a while, there was a storm around whether to kill He Guiqing. Cixi insisted that the whole country should use troops, and if she shielded the generals who escaped from the battle, how could she boost the morale of the three armies? The controversy did not stop Cixi's determination to kill He Guiqing.

Since the outbreak of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing court has lost land and abandoned the city one after another. Some prefectural and county officials went to the place where they took up their posts, but because they were in the vicinity of the Taiping Army, they even avoided it and did not take up their posts for several years.

In order to escape the responsibility of losing the city, some officials asked their superiors to fill in the years and months and falsely claimed that they went to the countryside on official business.

This kind of accumulation of malpractices has not been dealt with strictly, so that the rule of officials is getting worse day by day, and the number of people who have lost their teachers and land is increasing.

After reading the twists and turns, Cixi categorically executed He Guiqing, and for the first time since the rise of the army, the first-class officials were ambushed for the crime of losing land and abandoning the city, stopping the above-mentioned unhealthy trends, rectifying the rule of officials, and the discipline was solemn.

However, this is not enough, Cixi wants to use this to establish her authority and reshape the dynasty! Not long after Cixi lowered the curtain, it coincided with the "Jingcha" and "Great Plan" for the triennial evaluation of officials.

This is a system of evaluation of incumbent officials that is modeled after the official management system of the Ming Dynasty.

The assessment is held every three years, and the assessment of Beijing officials is called "Jingcha", and the assessment of local officials is called "big plan". According to the system of the Qing Dynasty, officials below the third rank were assessed by the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Officials above the third rank and governors, governors, and other high-ranking officials will first report their gains and losses in political affairs, and finally the emperor will adjudicate them. After the inspection, the officials were rewarded and punished according to the three grades of "competent", "diligent duty", and "service".

The "big plan" is to evaluate provincial, prefectural, and state and county officials. Generally, officials at all levels inspect and make judgments according to their affiliation, and finally apply to the governors of each province, verify their cases, make a book, and send them to the Ministry of Officials for review.

Officials after the "big plan" will be rewarded and punished according to the two levels of "outstanding" and "serving". In the Qing Dynasty, the performance appraisal of officials, whether it was "Jingcha" or "Daji", was based on "four grids" and "six laws".

The so-called "four grids" refer to "talent" (refers to talent, divided into long, average, short, etc.), "keep" (refers to ethics, divided into three categories of honesty, equality, and corruption), "government" (refers to government affairs, three categories of attendance, level, and slackness), and "year" (refers to age, divided into three categories: young, middle, and old).

The so-called "six laws" refer to the deficiencies in six aspects, such as "imprudentness", "inaction", "impetuousness", "lack of talent", "old age", and "illness". After assessment, those who are listed as "unscrupulous" and "soft" will be dismissed; Those who are "impetuous" and "not talented" are demoted; Those who are "old" and "sick" are ordered to retire.

The purpose of the implementation of this system is to reward the good and punish the bad, so that officials at all levels will always fulfill their duties and be loyal to the imperial court. The Jingcha and the grand plan involve the rewards and punishments of officials, and bribery and favoritism are commonplace officialdom matters.

Governors often have a reputation for leniency, and only a few people are deposed and dismissed in each Beijing Chacha, and the rest are favorable, and those who are impeached are inevitably unjust.

Cixi believed that this official appraisal was a rare opportunity for her to carry out the rectification of the administration of officials, and that the examination could eliminate lazy, old, weak, and incompetent officials, and also give the officialdom a warning and seek to cheer up.

In order to achieve her own satisfactory results, Cixi personally controlled the power of rewards and punishments in this assessment.

Cixi believes that in order to achieve the different results of this assessment, it is necessary to deal with things in vain. Therefore, Cixi personally held the power of rewards and punishments, and Wang Yi provided the basis for investigation, and the empress dowager of the two palaces introduced officials at all levels respectively and gave evaluations according to their political achievements.

The principle of assessment: to select people by official reputation and political performance. Those with outstanding achievements will be given exceptional promotions; Those who are mediocre and decrepit, whether they are "old enough" or close to retirement age, are ordered to retire. In order to put young and enterprising officials in important posts.

Pan Zuyin, the word Boyin, the number Zheng'an. Xianfeng two years to explore flowers. He is famous for his outstanding talent and Geng Jie's courage to speak out. When Zuo Zongtang was impeached because of Fan Xie's incident, Pan Zuyin actively defended Zuo Zongtang and tried his best to recommend Zuo Zongtang's talents.

Among them, "the world cannot be without Hunan for a day, and Hunan cannot be without Zuo Zongtang for a day" is from his mouth.

Cixi hung the curtain to listen to the beginning of the government, once asked for advice, Pan Zuyin asked the emperor to study diligently, seek talents, organize military affairs, and store wealth; We would like to ask you to relieve the people's strength. After reading it, Cixi admired it and thought that this was a rare talent, and Jingchazhong promoted him to Guanglu Temple.

The old and frail cabinet scholar Bayanchun, the mediocre and incompetent Guanglu Temple Secretary Lei Yixuan, and the Guanglu Temple Shaoqing Fan Ludian, who was tarnished by his conduct, were all ordered to retire at the same time.

In the appointment of officials, there is no distinction between the full and the Chinese, and there are clear rewards and punishments.

But for Cixi, who had just listened to the government, she, like the emperors of previous dynasties, was extremely wary of Han officials, especially the members of the unified army.

However, Cixi knew at this time that the direct threat to the stability of the Qing rule was the Taiping army in the Yangtze River valley and the Twist army in the Yellow River valley.

However, looking around, those Manchu officials were either incompetent or arrogant. In the more than ten years from Xianfeng Ye to his own curtain to listen to the government, the greatest hero who has been loyal to the imperial court and insisted on encircling and suppressing the Taiping Army despite repeated setbacks is the Han officials headed by Zeng Guofan.

In the political system of the Qing Dynasty, the principle of full emphasis on the Han and light on the Han has always been adhered to. Manchu officials not only had absolute power in decision-making, but also occupied important positions in order to maintain the prominent position of the Manchus.

However, with the decline of the Manchu people as a whole, more and more political and military activities had to rely on the Han bureaucrats and gentry. Su Shun shouted out "There are many bastards in the world", which should be a true portrayal of society during this period.

Cixi also feared that Zeng's development would become a local force that threatened Qing rule, but she knew better that the most important thing for her was the survival of the Taiping army. As for the division of the Manchu and Han dynasties in the appointment of officials, Cixi had more realistic considerations.
