Ren Guangyu was moved to tears, wiping his tears there like a girl, unable to help himself.

Since Zhu Cihong established the new city, Ren Guangyu was the first magistrate, nine years have passed, and the court knows that this is the prince's person, and he has been secretly suppressing him.

No matter how good the construction of the new city is, the Beijing inspection of the Ministry of Officials once every three years will find fault every time, and there are only four words for Ren Guangyu's examination as it is: stay in office to check.

At that time, Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong were secretly competing, and the officials of the ministry acted in this way, neither offending the crown prince nor the emperor.

Xincheng is the first base of Zhu Cihong's start, there are too many things hidden in it, before the Dashun army attacked Beijing, Zhu Cihong secretly ordered Ren Guangyu, took the initiative to surrender Li Zicheng, and protected the new city.

Although Ren Guangyu was born in a down-and-out manner, he was loyal to the monarch and had a pure idea of serving the country, and when the Dashun army went north, he was ready to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. (The ancients liked to throw themselves into the water for martyrdom, giving priority to the rivers and throwing them into the wells without the river...... ）

Even if he received Zhu Cihong's secret order, Ren Guangyu was unwilling to be a second minister, and was bent on death.

It's a pity that on the way to the river outside the city, he was intercepted by Wang Zhen and others, broke a leg, and warned again, so he couldn't throw himself into the river, gave up suicide, and honestly carried out the task of defrauding and surrendering.

Because the magistrate took the initiative to surrender, and there were several battalions of urban defense troops in Xincheng, the Shun soldiers who were roasting everywhere no longer dared to come to Xincheng to play tricks after losing a few corpses, and they took a detour.

"It's really broken a leg, this Wang Zhen is really ruthless......"

Zhu Cihong muttered to himself, and took Ren Guangyu's hand to ride the dragon chariot with him.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare to trespass!"

Ren Guangyu was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and almost fell.

Under the astonishment of the officials, Zhu Cihong insisted on carrying him onto the dragon chariot and went to the new city.

Zhu Cihong is so gracious to Ren Guangyu, firstly, to wash away the stigma of the second minister for him, and secondly, to add grace to the old minister, so as not to chill the hearts of such people.

The changes in the new city made Zhu Cihong very surprised, in addition to the group of displaced people nine years ago, there were many new people in the city, and there were already crowded, and Ren Zhixian took the opportunity to ask for the expansion of the city.

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "You can expand the city, but you don't have to worry about this, go south with me tomorrow and go to Zhejiang to be a governor." ”

Ren Guangyu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no, the minister is a crippled person, the six roots are incomplete, and it is Your Majesty who can continue to be the honor of a county, and he does not dare to ask for high-ranking officials." ”

The imperial examination of all dynasties is a very serious matter, and the examination of talent is the foundation, but the image and physical regulations of the candidates are very strict.

In a stump situation like Ren Guangyu's now, if you don't consider the backstage, let the officials Jingcha, and depose him with ironclad, it will be deprived of even the fame of the people, which will damage the image of the court too much!

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this, my Tianwu Dynasty, only look at ability, not image!" ”

"Your Majesty......"

Looking at Ren Zhixian's pitiful appearance, Zhu Cihong suddenly thought, isn't it embarrassing for him to let people with leg problems go to Zhejiang?

Zhu Cihong opened his mouth and said: "In this way, you will stay in Beizhili, be a governor, and take care of this place for me." ”

......

When it came to the appointment and dismissal of officials, Zhu Cihong remembered the various Chens played by Li Yan last year, and suggested that the first opening of the new dynasty should be held in advance to select officials.

The imperial examination is held once every three years, and the last time the north-south examination was in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and the north just finished the examination, and the thieves attacked the Beijing division, which was done in a hurry, and many jinshi had not yet implemented the work.

Some unlucky Jinshi defected to Dashun and wanted to get an official position, but after Li Zicheng was destroyed, they were all stripped of their fame, and they couldn't cry.

Ten years of cold window, once stumbled, became an outcast of the times.

In the previous Ming Dynasty, the most important thing was to be an official, and now the Ming Dynasty is most lacking to be an official, an excellent, non-pedantic, trained official.

The education reform has just taken a few years, and it will take at least 12 years for new talents to complete a process from primary school to university graduation.

Although there are also scholars who have become monks halfway through the school and have started their studies in middle school and have missed the basics for a few years, most of them still have to rely on those scholars who used to read the books of the sages.

After the destruction of Li Zicheng, most of the officials temporarily sent to the provinces of Jiangbei were transferred from the supervision of the Guozi in Nanjing.

The current Guozijian sacrificial wine is Song Yingxing, after his innovation and drive, Nanjing Guozijian has a new look, focusing on natural science, those pedantic students who regard arithmetic, gewu, etc. as strange skills and tricks, and only read the books of sages and sages, have been persuaded to quit a lot.

The quality of these talents selected through the six arts of the gentleman should be much better than in the past, and they have all been trained and professionalized as temporary officials.

In the Yazhong of Xincheng County, Zhu Cihong issued a will to open a branch and take scholars, and ordered someone to send it to the Nanjing cabinet urgently to announce it to the whole country.

He stretched his waist and complained: "I haven't returned to Nanjing yet, that's all there is to it." ”

Out of the county office, Zhu Cihong found that the officials who came to greet him hundreds of miles away were still standing in front of the yamen with a smile and waiting to be summoned.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, licking the dog will no longer attract people's like, and it won't be hated, Zhu Cihong didn't blame them, and summoned them with a few lucky moments.

After the incident, Zhu Cihong issued an edict again, setting the first ancestral system since becoming the emperor, and stipulating the etiquette of the Ming Emperor's good fortune and send-off:

Where the emperor passes through the place, the local civil officials above the county level and the military attache guerrilla (regiment general) or above, within the jurisdiction of the territory, the right side of the road is a hundred paces away to greet the royal driver;

Those who are within a hundred miles of the magistrate come to the court, and those who are a hundred miles away are exempted, and those who welcome the officials and the people are not allowed to bow down.

Zhu Cihong drew up another article: In addition to the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, whether it is the New Year's Day or the reward ceremony, the ministers of civil and military affairs do not need to kneel and bow, and they all bow their hands.

Zhu Cihong is not an old trick of equality for everyone, but has slightly changed the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty, deleting the kneeling ritual system of several major ceremonies such as Zhengdan pilgrimage and worship.

According to the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestral system set by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty: there is no need to bow down between the monarch and the minister.

Only when the emperor worships the sky, the identity changes from the king to the son of heaven, acting on behalf of the sky, the ministers have to kneel and worship, and there is no need to kneel between the monarch and the minister, this is the so-called kneeling to the sky and kneeling to the parents, otherwise do not kneel.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was too unaccustomed to the customs of the Yuan Dynasty, he once said: "The military and the people salute, still follow the customs, drink banquets and wine, and mostly bow down as a salute", after saying this, Lao Zhu asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to set the officials and the people to bow down, "All Hu rites are forbidden and not used." ”

Officials of the same or similar rank should bow their hands or bow twice.

If the grade is two or three levels worse, the upper official should sit at the top and the lower official should sit below, which is already a hand salute.

If there is a difference of four levels in rank, the humble one will bow down, and the Venerable will sit and receive the salute, and will not kneel except for the ceremony.

Therefore, there is a Ming Dynasty, where you enter the noon gate, do not kneel and worship, arch into the court.

In my Qing Dynasty, as an official in the same dynasty, you have to kneel to Lao Tzu at the next level, and you have to kneel in accordance with the rules!

If you don't kneel down, you will be put on the top, and you will be sent to a prison cell, and you will be killed!

Sometimes, some people can't stand up after kneeling for a long time, Daming, knees are not soft!
