Chapter 214
The Winged King election, no, it was the Winged King who came up with the idea of Mao Sui to recommend himself to select the new officials of the household department, which set off a thousand waves for a while, and many officials heard that the Winged King was unrealistic and went to the household yamen with the mentality of watching jokes to join in the fun, and see if what was written on the notice was true.
After seeing the black and white notice, many people who gloated couldn't laugh, and the notice was very clear that no matter how big or small the official position was, you can sign up, and you will be appointed after the selection. Hubu, that's a place that many people dream of, think about the leap from the seventh-grade sesame official to the fourth-grade or higher three-grade, this is more than picking up the gold ingots.
After a moment of excitement, I listened to my colleagues around me pointing to a place to discuss, and looked in the direction of other people's fingers, okay, I was happy to patronize and look at the front, I didn't look down carefully, and there were conditions on it, and it was written that the elected officials were selected and did not officially skip the rank to become officials of the household department, and I wanted the carp to jump over the dragon gate without it, and the status of the new official was circled with two words - temporary, the difference between the two words was worlds apart, and the formal and agency were two concepts, wasn't this in the Mengren? Many officials disagree with this and criticize it, which is unreasonable and insulting to officials.
Then a shrill laughter was heard, and the angry crowd turned to the place where the sound came from, glaring angrily, daring to laugh at them for not wanting to live!
The laugher didn't see the slightest embarrassment and fear, but he only said that it was so easy to reach the sky in one step, as everyone thought, what to do with the imperial examination to enter the officialdom, the big and small officials have to look at their personal ability, and they don't deserve it. Tsk, the end doesn't need to be clear.
Hearing this, many officials who had puffed out their faces as if they were going to fight were instantly deflated. Becoming shriveled and weak, after calming down, careful analysis is indeed as the ridiculer said, it is his own greed to forget the reality in front of him, and he does not blame others for speaking badly.
There was silence for a while, and he lowered his head to reflect on his mistakes, and some people said, what is there for the time being. To be selected must be a talent in a thousand, even if you can't stay for a long time in the future, it's not a loss to have enough of the addiction of the four grades.
Someone else retorted. That is, how can there be no formal statement, maybe the excellent ones are valued by the Wing King, and the word temporary generation may be removed if they can be reused, and all intentions can be achieved. There is no need to be discouraged and reduce your backbone.
When everyone heard this, they were reasonable. The momentum of decadence rose all of a sudden, and he carefully analyzed the content of the notice over and over again to compare whether he was qualified.
Some people questioned that the content of the assessment was not written on it, so what was the basis for the selection?
Some people's minds turned quickly and immediately said that the choice is all officials serving in Beijing, whether it depends on their current political performance.
Only this sentence has started a series of speculations and discussions, and the purpose of Yiwang's choice is to have the ability and have been in the officialdom for a long time, and have the ability to deal with various emergencies. Otherwise, it can be selected from among the officials.
After such a meticulous analysis, many officials beat drums in their hearts, saying that officials in important positions and officials in places where they are promoted quickly will definitely not look down on the land of the household department. In addition, officials above the third grade may not be interested, from their own appointment to the same level to do things, everyone knows that the officials who can climb to the position of the third grade or above have their means and calendars can not be underestimated, and they have stayed in a familiar place for a long time A little emotional, how can they be willing to go to a place they are not familiar with, not to mention the problem of ability, in case something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility, no one wants to be ridiculed by colleagues for their failures, and there are not many officials who participate in the summary.
There is a lot of strength in many people, there are many ideas, brainstorming and fair competition, and after everyone has figured out the true meaning, they only need to rely on their personal ability to fight.
Some people asked, Yiwang was once the official of the Ministry of Industry, will those people in the Ministry of Industry come to rob everyone's jobs?
As the old saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, and the Wing King is now in charge of the household department, and it is difficult to ensure that the low-level officials of the Ministry of Industry are not moved.
Someone thought of this sentence, and suddenly felt urgent and abnormal, there are so many positions in the household, and it seems that the wolf has to be tightened up.
After a few more discussions, everyone hurried back, making preparations as soon as possible.
In the early court of two days in a row, the courtiers saw the winged king and couldn't help but hide, like a mouse seeing a cat, lest the winged king collect debts in the court, and each of the silver owed seemed to be not much in one place for a whole night to be calculated, still afraid of leaking the net, such a large amount of money is really reluctant to take it out of his own pocket, I wanted to climb his own small officials to understand their own difficulties and honor the last part to solve their urgent needs, who thought that no one came to the door, this is afraid of being involved or afraid of something.
Seeing that there are three days left in the time limit, the minister is in a hurry, I knew that there was a beginning of today, why borrow so much, and what can I do if I can't pay it now, I am about to lose my head.
The Wing King has not mentioned the matter of owing money since that morning, and the face has been given, so it depends on whether the courtiers know each other, and she has to wait for three days.
As for the other thing that was making a lot of noise outside, the Xi Dynasty was more concerned, and some officials had heard a little about the rumors in their mouths, and they were a little more interested in the competing officials while being funny, and they were actually afraid that the officials of the Ministry of Industry would get a piece of the pie.
How can the officials of the Ministry of Industry have the leisure to tease the boring people, one by one is busy, and when they are idle, the affairs at hand cannot be completed, which will affect the work of other colleagues, even if they hear about the selection of the Ministry of Households, they only smile and do not think about it. Their current position is very good, the household department is much more complicated than the Ministry of Industry, involving the entry and exit of money is not easy to start, once a number is wrong, all the previous efforts will be abandoned, just look at the number of heads, no one is willing to compete for a position that does not belong to them, purely full of support has nothing to do.
The officials of the Great Prince's faction were waiting to take down the household department, and the Wing King sent an opportunity, and many officials who operated privately all went to the household department to register.
I couldn't help but wonder what the conditions for the Wing King to choose people were, don't be a blind selection, how can the people who arrange it go in can't even touch the side.
Hongrui held the list in her hand, and she was very busy in the evening in the past two days, busy checking the resume background of the officials who had been recommended by Mao Sui. All the people of the Great Prince's faction were removed together, and then they were checked for their conduct and private visits, and those with bad conduct were not hired. In this way, the list of people who seem to be a huge number of people is picked up, and there is not much left after sifting through it.
"On the last day of tomorrow, the primaries will be notified to visit the household department the day after tomorrow." Xi Chao took the list and looked at it, "That's all?" ”
"No, most of the people who brushed down in large numbers were people from the Great Prince's faction, and only these seventy people were left after the pieces were crossed out." Hongrui and the secret guard are not idle, and they have to carefully investigate for fear that some fish from the Great Prince's faction will slip through the net.
"That's enough." Xi Chao pondered. It is really not enough, and one or two can be seconded from elsewhere.
On the last day, many officials who had signed up went to inquire whether they had been admitted, and more and more people gathered at the entrance of the household office.
Hongrui appeared at the door at this time, and slapped three palms in a row to signal everyone to be quiet. "Now announce the list of primary candidates, those who receive their names please go to the yamen to reconfirm their identities, take the name plate tomorrow morning and go to the household department for assessment, and those who are outstanding will be hired."
The crowd fell silent and pricked up their ears to listen. I'm afraid I'll miss my name. After a while, it stopped with the sound of the roll call, and finally the officials who were read it entered, and the remaining officials looked at each other and didn't know what was going on, and this was the end? What about these people?
When an official asks if the people they left behind were eliminated or what happened, there must be an explanation.
Hongrui motioned for everyone to explain quietly: "The adults who went in were selected in the primary election, and the people who stayed were not qualified, as for the screening conditions, they are listed here one by one." ”
"The primary selection is based on the following criteria." Red Stamen explained loudly. "First, those who are degraded do not use it, and secondly, those who are at fault are not used. Third, those who form gangs do not need to. ”
The officials of the eldest prince's faction were completely dumbfounded when they heard this, King Yi was deliberately targeting the eldest prince, they were all officials who supported the eldest prince, none of them were elected, it was inevitable that they were too deceitful, and a small king with a different surname dared to go against the eldest prince, and he was bold.
As soon as the conditions came out, many officials instantly blackened their faces, and the previous conjecture was expected by them, and it was really linked to political performance, although they did not name who did not meet such and such a non-conformity, everyone had a scale in their hearts and the door was very clear, no matter how ugly the face was, the move of the wing king was still fair, and there was no mood to make trouble, and he went back to the bad place in a gray manner, how to say that his position was still there, it was better than missing at both ends.
The officials of the Great Prince's faction are quite unconvinced, why, is it wrong to support the Great Prince? What is it called to brush them down mercilessly! How to explain to the eldest prince, the promise he swore at the beginning would definitely come true, and when he met the Wing King, he thought that he would give him an opportunity, who would have thought that it would be such an ending, and he didn't stay or leave with a stinky face.
Mu Zhao was furious when he learned about this, and instantly swept down all the objects on the table, Mu Jin was so proud, now even the Wing King is against him!
None of the officials of the Great Prince's faction were in a good mood, and they scolded King Yi for not knowing the times and daring to argue with the Great Prince, and how to scold him for being unruly and unsightly.
As for the military department, which has always been favored, most of the officials of the great prince's faction are based on civilian officials, and they have always been unaccustomed to military generals, how can they be with military attachés, and then there is a military department is an ornament, and the four generals at the border pass are the military generals who can really go to the battlefield and get out of the court, and the prince has no right to rashly win over the generals who may be regarded as fools by the group of big bosses. That is, if you can't give attractive benefits, you can take anything to win people's hearts, and people nowadays are more pragmatic, especially generals who only look at the results.
It was because after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the people of Mu Zhao's faction did not have the courage to fight the idea of military power, and they only retreated to the household department that was bound to take down the money bag.
The officials who quietly came to the Great Prince's Mansion at night gathered in one place to discuss the method, and it was extremely beneficial for the Great Prince to take down the household department in advance before the time waited, and it was most appropriate to start with the trace that the Wing King was not firmly in the top spot of the household department.
The official used his brains and racked his brains for a long time, and some officials spoke, saying that they could come up with a solution that didn't have a solution, and Mu Zhao motioned to listen to it.
The official said that if he wanted to take the brunt of the Hubu Shangshu and take the position of the Hubu Shangshu, and now the Hubu Shangshu was temporarily replaced by the Wing King, he could put more effort into the Wing King.
As soon as this remark came out, it was refuted, the eldest prince had tried many times before to get closer to the Wing King, but now I don't know how many plans have been burned, and this method does not need to be said to be useless.
The man did not use the previous method of co-opting, that is, he knew that if he couldn't win over, why bother. You might as well pull the Winged King directly off the horse with a ruthless hand, saving time and effort.
When everyone heard that it made sense, they thought about it before. He had no intention of being ruthless to the Winged King at all, and couldn't help but look at the person who raised it, urging him to hurry up and tell the plan completely.
That person Shi Shiran spoke, it is not difficult to take down the Wing King, the former emperor on whom the Wing King relied has passed away, and the new emperor is now unable to figure out his temper and hope for a lot, but only the sword given by the former emperor is a big trouble. Once the Wing King shows her sword, no one can help her, which is both a trouble and a breakthrough, and she can start from the sword.
Think about what would happen to the Winged King if he lost the Imperial Sword. As soon as this remark came out, it was a big crime to kill the head to lose the things given by the emperor, even if it was a king with a different surname who was personally appointed by the emperor, the new emperor had the meaning of protecting the winged king. As long as all the courtiers have the heart to pull the winged king to dismount. Join forces to punish the Winged King severely, and the unavailable people in the Emperor's hands just take this opportunity to force the Emperor to go down according to the plan we have set, even if the Emperor guarantees that he can only save the Winged King's life, and the position of the Winged King will inevitably be eliminated.
Some people can't help but ask how to steal the Imperial Sword, and whether the sword is worn by the Wing King inseparably, and what if it fails?
A series of questions raised a number of happy officials who fell silent and pondered, and these seemingly ordinary little things were of great importance to the whole plan.
First of all, the sword theft must be solved, and the chosen person must have perfect craftsmanship in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if you don't succeed once, the Wing King will be noticed, and the chance of attacking again is very small.
If you choose a petty thief, you must be a repeat offender. Only the habitual offender is not easy to be suspected, but it is a temporary intention to see the hunting heart, which is to say that where the Winged King loses his sword, it must be easier to succeed in a place where there are many people outside, which requires inquiring about the frequency of the Winged King's travel in advance.
If the thief is captured by the Winged King, stealing the sword is a big deal, and it must be handed over to the Criminal Department to let the Winged King lose the perfect opportunity to retrieve the sword, so that the Winged King does not dare to attack the Criminal Department even if he is suspicious, and then he only needs to let the prisoner die unknowingly at the moment of changing hands, so far there is no proof that the Winged King lost the sword The matter is established, and the rest depends on how the courtiers act.
Then there was the fact that the sword was not stolen, and the Winged King was shocked to find that someone had an attempt on the sword, and for the sake of safety, he would not wear it on his body to swagger through the market, just find the sword hiding place and steal it.
If not, he could do so, and the more the official spoke, the more he spoke, the more he planned to be unambiguous.
You might as well make a big bet next time, you can order someone to make a piece quietly according to the appearance of the sword, this word is full of surprise, all wide-eyed and a little out of the eye, this, this is too sensational, no one dares to think in the direction of fraud, so bold and reckless to say that it is easy to say, if this does not work, the forgery of the royal gift is to punish the nine clans! Is it really good to block all your net worth with such a desperate bet?
Many people were shocked into a cold sweat, and their hearts over half of the year couldn't withstand this fright, not that they really couldn't afford to gamble, and the cost of this method was too great!
The official also said, this is the time to wait for money, and there is still some certainty, if you give up once the Wing King eases up and unites with the emperor to suppress the eldest prince, they will become a whetstone for the two, and then they will still be found out, and it is too easy to die.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the prince, as a courtier, he knew that there was a risk and he could not arbitrarily take the master's idea, and the upper and lower levels were distinguished from the lowly, even if they did not want to go to the present, there was no way to retreat, once the emperor accumulated available manpower in his hands, they were the officials who stood on the wrong team, and the fate can be imagined.
Mu Zhao is now in a dilemma, if he goes on like this for the rest of his life, he will not be able to hold the title of the prince for the rest of his life, and he will be trapped in the small prince's mansion and unable to perform until he dies of old age, during this period, Mu Jinming will not let himself live his life with peace of mind, and will definitely try his best to trample on himself in order to achieve the ugliness of being high and invincible.
Can you really bear it? Mu Zhao asked himself in an instant, he couldn't do it without being trampled under his feet without resistance, ignorance, and unconsciousness, he was also the blood of the royal family, why could Mu Jinming, that scumbag, but he couldn't, he didn't want to endure the miserable status quo in the future, it was better to gamble, and it would be a good idea, he had the power to fight against Mu Jinming, if he didn't, how could it be worse than the current days.
Once Mu Zhao made up his mind and never changed, he motioned to the talented official to continue his unfinished words.
Everyone looked at the eldest prince's face and their hearts sank, it seems that the eldest prince is already planning to fight hard, what else can they say as courtiers, follow hard, there is absolutely no possibility of quitting, unless you want to find death and reincarnation.
The man continued, in fact, this matter is easy to say and difficult to say, according to the idea of making a sword that is as identical as possible, after the Wing King hid his sword and spread the news that the Wing King had lost the Imperial Sword, as far as possible to let the whole of Shangjing know, for the next plan to build momentum.
After that, he rushed to the front of the court on the second day, and took the lead in attacking him, pointing directly at the Winged King's negligence, impeaching the Winged King, disrespecting the former emperor, and attacking him in groups.
Some people are puzzled, is the Wing King so stupid that he won't directly take out his sword to show people? This is what many people mean in their hearts.
The man smiled meaningfully, once the Winged King took out the sword, the pseudo-sword we made can be sacrificed to compete with the Winged King, and then it will be up to the courtiers to give full play to the finger deer as a horse, and say that the Winged King's sword is really fake.
Some people pointed out that there is something wrong with it, true is true and false is false, and there is always a difference between what is done in the subtlety and what is true, can't the emperor see that some officials who are lucky enough to see this sword can be so dizzy that they can help us act? This alone is a big problem, once it is not handled properly, it will be seized and the initiative will change hands instantly, and the whole plan will eventually be unable to be maintained, and no one escapes. (To be continued......)
