Except for a few officials who were able to keep calm, the rest of them couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

His Majesty actually wants to assess dozens of Taishou, and the loser will be dismissed directly!

Such an unprecedented event was really beyond their expectations.

You must know that although almost all of these officials existed before the unification of the world, they seem to have nothing to do with the six state taishou controlled by the former Han Dynasty.

But in fact, the relationship is not shallow at all.

Some are even members of the same family, and there are many people who have good relationships.

What's more, if these six states are assessed today, will they also be assessed in the other seven states in the future?

That is even more deeply involved with them.

Also, the temporary Taishou has to be assessed, so are those other officials and others who are temporarily acting also to be assessed?

However, although he was reluctant in his heart, his will had been made, indicating that the attitude of the person above was extremely tough, and no one dared to stand up against it.

Only a few people looked at them a little struggling and tangled.

"Retreat. The emperor spat out two words from his mouth, got up and walked to the apse.

"Greetings to Your Majesty. "Hundreds of officials salute.

Soon, the news spread in all directions, and countless people were shocked and took action, whether it was before or after the assessment, many of these things could be done.

However, there are also some people who know in advance and just watch quietly.

The will also began to be officially sent from Luoyang to all parts of the six states.

Everywhere I went, there was a flurry of panic.

But he can only explain and rush to Luoyang City, this is not the past, if he doesn't want to die, it is impossible to disobey the will in this matter.

There are also some people who are not shocked or confused, and they are in their chests.

Nanyang County.

Taishou Li Wen said solemnly: "It's all dealt with?"

"Lord Hui, it's all dealt with, and no one will be able to find evidence. The henchman said in a deep voice.

"Well, for this news, the old man spent a lot of money, and finally eliminated all the flaws. Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief, paused and continued: "When the holy decree arrives, after the old man goes to Luoyang, you should keep an eye on it." ”

"Yes. ”

····

There are also some places where there is a general conversation in the past few days.

It seems that before the decree is attained, they all know in advance, the things that are to be examined by the officials, and the conditions before the assessment.

Qianqing Palace.

On the third day after the decree was given.

Guo Jia begged to see the emperor, and after saluting, he gave a thing, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Si, Yi...... There are a total of 56 Taishou in the six prefectures, and there are a total of 30 people who violate the law and oppress the people, but only 21 can find conclusive evidence.

The other nine could not find any evidence, and it seemed that they had been erased in advance, and the ministers were incompetent, so they asked the emperor to condemn them. ”

"Hurry up the investigation of the remaining officials. The emperor looked at the list in his hand, all of which were evidence of the twenty-one Taishou who had violated the law and oppressed the people.

"Wow. Guo Jia replied solemnly, and his heart was relieved, sure enough, His Majesty intended to let some people know the news in advance, so Xu You......

This is also a good thing, although it will miss some officials, but it will not push everyone to the corner.

And the family really doesn't work together!heh!

Subsequently, the six states of Taishou arrived at Luoyang City one after another.

On the sixteenth day of the Divine Decree, the last Taishou arrived.

Immediately, another holy decree was issued, and the twenty-one Taishou were directly taken down for questioning, which shocked many people.

"Why, why do you want to take this official?"

"Dissatisfied, unconvinced. ”

............

The number of Taishou shouted directly, but Gao Shun, who was in charge of taking people, ignored it.

No one dared to resist by force, because they all knew that they would die faster.

Twenty-one Taishou were taken away, and the remaining thirty-five Taishou were also officially assessed in the panic of most of the people.

The assessment is very simple, that is, to assess its skills.

Hosted by Tian Feng and Chen Gong, both of them are upright people, not to mention their skills.

It is up to the two of them to assess, which is completely sufficient.

Exam papers, interviews.

In total, these two parts, a total of thirty-five places, are very fast, and they were all completed in two days.

After seeing their test papers with his own eyes and listening to the reports of Tian Feng and the others, the emperor dismissed the five most incompetent officials on the spot, and the remaining thirty people officially held the official positions of Taishou.

The next day, the 21 Taishou who were arrested announced their charges in public, and 11 were directly beheaded for public display.

Ten dismissed officials and never hired.

When the news spread all over the world, it immediately caused an uproar.

After all, out of a total of fifty-six Taishou, twenty-six were either dismissed or directly beheaded.

Twenty-six Taishou, in the past few years, could even be equivalent to twenty-six princes, and they were taken down like this!

The power behind them is even more huge.

In addition, the other seven states were too guarded, and other officials were panicked, worried that they would also be treated like this.

For a while, the world was in an uproar, and they began to erase their past crimes, and began to discuss with the forces behind them what to do.

But no one rebelled.

One is that they don't dare, and the other is that this situation is not worth the risk.

At this time, the thirty Taishou who passed the assessment had not yet returned to various places, and another holy decree was issued, and the six prefectures went to Luoyang to participate in the assessment.

Not daring to slack off, fifty-six county officials rushed to Luoyang.

The thirty guards also began to return to various places.

As for the missing twenty-six, the imperial court is already rapidly selecting candidates.

A month later, thirty-two of them had returned.

About half of the rest were beheaded, and about half were dismissed.

Subsequently, the officials of a county were not re-evaluated.

The reason is very simple, in addition to Taishou and Juncheng, the subordinate Gongcao and Zhubo are all hired by Taishou himself.

It has nothing to do with the central court, and it is really not time for the assessment now.

It also shows the great power of Taishou and the strength of local power.

Even the turmoil in the past few years has led to the fact that the county is hired by Taishou himself.

Then came the county order and the county.

A large number of county orders and county officials rushed to Luoyang one after another, some dismissed officials, and some died.

Everything seemed to be in order, and the officials were very cooperative.

But there are fewer and fewer people who are dismissed and killed.

Many people can see the greasy nature of this.

However, when a few months later, the officials of the six states have completed the evaluation, and the situation in the six states is still a little different.

After all, the number of officials who have been replaced has almost reached more than 30 percent.

The control of the Great Shang Imperial Court over the six states suddenly became several times stronger.

After six states, there are no accidents, it's time for the other seven states.

Four months later, more than 20 percent of the 54 taishou in the seven prefectures, as well as the county commanders, county commanders, and county officials, were replaced.

The control of the Great Shang Imperial Court has become much stronger, but this time the official change has also exhausted all the officials available to the imperial court.

Most of them are barely on top.

Subsequently, a will was issued that satisfied the wishes of all forces.

The imperial court seeks talents, and the great cause is May 1 in the fourth year.

A big assessment will be held in Luoyang, and talented people in the world can be talented in all aspects, regardless of their background, they can go to Luoyang to participate in the assessment.

As soon as the news came out, the world boiled again.

This kind of assessment was also held once by big businessmen, but at that time, the world was not yet unified, and the scale and influence were very small.

This is no longer the case.

People in the world who are consciously talented are rejoicing.

Especially those children of the family, in their eyes, this kind of assessment is prepared for them.

Originally, the imperial court was slow to recruit disciples from the family as officials, and Yang Biao and others in the former Han Dynasty were still idle, and many people were already very dissatisfied.

But as soon as this decree came out, all dissatisfaction disappeared at once.

The original methods of filial piety and honesty can be used to how many people are officials.

And this assessment is far more than many times.

Only a few people frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Yang Biao looked at the direction of the palace alone, figuring out the pros and cons of this assessment little by little.

But the limitations of the times, as well as other reasons, no matter how he thinks, he can't find any big drawbacks, this is many years of officialdom experience, which makes him feel a little wrong.

Is it to balance the power of the major families?

I can't help but think in my heart that there are still a lot of talents in those small families.

In this way, it also balances the power of some great families.

Shaking his head, Yang Biao suppressed his mind and waited to see what happened.

Not only him, but also the Xun family, the Chen family, the Xiao family, and so on.

Either way, it's a good thing for them.

After all, they can't do it by turning many family children into official bodies at once, but they can do it in this assessment.

'Brother Guo, what do you think is the real purpose of His Majesty's move?' After the court meeting ended, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia walked towards the office together, and asked thoughtfully in their eyes.

I thought of something, but it always felt incomplete and missed. Guo Jia shook his head, still thinking about the pros and cons of this assessment in his mind.

'Me too, although this assessment can balance the strength of some large and small families, calm down the dissatisfaction of the family, and make up for the lack of talent of court officials, I always feel that there is something we have not thought of. Xi Zhicai nodded, and his mind was constantly thinking.

'You say, no matter where you come from, you can participate, what effect will it have?' Suddenly, Guo Jia asked.

'The imperial court wants a lot more talents from the poor family to balance the power of the family, but the effect is not great, and except for a small number of the cold families, they will eventually be attached to the family. Xi Zhicai thought for a while.

"What about under the cold door?" Guo Jia seemed to ask the other party, and it seemed to be himself.

Xi Zhicai frowned, under the cold door.

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, but he shook his head and said, "There may be some talents under the cold family, but there are very few of them, and they can't have a big impact." ’

Guo Jia nodded, and after a while, he suddenly said: "With this kind of assessment, the officials under the poor family and the poor family will have a new way out, and there is no need to be attached to the vassal family to a certain extent!"

'Entering the officialdom, without a family, the vast majority of people are also unable to move an inch. Xi Zhicai shook his head.

"Then what if there are too many children from the poor family?" Guo Jia always felt that there was a layer of fog in front of him.

Unless there are so many of them. Xi Zhicai asked rhetorically.

(There's another chapter.) ）
