Although the emperor's approach is indeed a scoundrel, the emperor is right.

This unspoken rule is a verbal agreement, similar to convention, and there is no written rule, and it has been in operation for a long time before the founding of the country.

Therefore, after the founding of the country, there was no law in Wei Luli that officials from Li Shu could not be allowed to ascend to high positions.

It's just that everyone does this by default, after all, no one wants to bear such a disgraceful infamy.

Restricting people's path to ascent can be done in secret, but if it is done in the open, not only to do but also to say, it will be ugly.

Originally, everyone knew each other that this was what they did, and no one thought of violating it.

As a result, the emperor suddenly said that there was no law, that is, to appoint Liu Di as the county magistrate of Ye County.

Speaking of which, there are no problems with the program.

According to Liu Di's resume and achievements, there is no problem in letting him serve as a county magistrate, and Wei Lu also supports it.

Not to mention the county order, as long as there is enough merit and resume, any official position, in theory, Liu Di can be held.

Even if it is the first assistant of the cabinet, even if it is Shang Shuling, as long as the credit is enough, he can serve as it.

There has never been any explicit stipulation in the legislative scope of Wei Law regarding the scope of officials' origin, no matter what your background is, theoretically you have the qualifications to be a high-ranking official, and there is no problem at all.

But the problem was that the officials did not take Wei Lu seriously, but took the tacit rules between them and the emperor very seriously.

They think that Wei Lu is just put out for people to see, and any kind of rule that anyone can see must not be the most important, the most important rule is invisible and untouchable but real.

So what really matters is not what Wei Lu says, but what the emperor does.

Restricting the way for Li Shu's children to rise as officials is an agreement between the emperor and the previous scholars, which is equivalent to a political contract, and with this political contract, the emperor exchanged for the support of the scholars and more than ten years of service.

As a result, if you say don't now, don't want it, it's dangerous.

This is a dangerous beginning.

You can abolish this rule and not talk about the agreement, then what will you do that is even more inconsistent with our agreement? Do you still have political credibility as an emperor?

Tian Feng sensed that this was a rather dangerous signal, and he sensed that the emperor seemed to want to do something with this unprecedented victory.

Cheng Yu also felt that this was the emperor's temptation, using a Liu Di to test the bottom line of the scholars, and paving the way for a better breakthrough of this bottom line.

Xun You also felt that the emperor did not seem to be satisfied with the current political ecology, and did not rest for a while after ending the war as everyone thought, and the emperor seemed to want to do something.

Xi Zhong also felt that this matter seemed to be just a matter of whether it was a county order or not, but if it really expanded, it would inevitably affect the operation of the entire Wei officialdom.

Anyone with a little political consciousness knows that this is a temptation of the emperor, and this matter is by no means simple, but ......

No one dared to stand up and speak, no one dared to say what the emperor was thinking.

This is no longer the case.

Some people are anxious and want to stand up and say something, but they don't listen to the call.

I wanted to do this, but my body was honestly betraying my will.

Don't dare, just don't dare, very clearly don't dare.

knew that he wanted to stand up to defend his own interests, but he didn't dare, because the emperor he was facing had a little bit of invincibility in the world.

The four Zhou Chen who stood up suddenly fell into a situation of isolation and helplessness.

Then, unsurprisingly, it became the emperor's key target.

"If the meritorious man is not rewarded, will anyone do his best for me in the future?"

"If such a thing happens, won't someone say that the heroes are treated badly behind their backs?"

"Lone has always rewarded and punished clearly, what should be rewarded and what should be punished is clear, now you don't let Lone reward Liu Di, do you want Lone to be ridiculed by the world?"

"Or are you jealous and jealous, and cannot tolerate the ascension of those with noble virtues, so as not to hinder you from taking advantage of the opportunity?"

"Lone shuddered at the thought that Lone was actually surrounded by people like you! Do you have the mind and responsibility to be an official? If the officials of Wei are all like you, the country will not be a country! Otherwise, in a few years, you will be the king of the dead country! ”

Then Guo Peng waved his hand, dismissed the four of them, and rushed back to their hometown to farm.

With a few fluttering words, Guo Peng dismissed the four accompanying officials who followed him on the Northern Expedition, rushed back to his hometown on the spot, and seized all official treatments.

And they will also be on the emperor's blacklist, and from then on, the political future is very slim.

"Such a person is doing official errands by Lone's side, and Lone doesn't know it, which is also Lone's dereliction of duty, but to send these people to Lone's side, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials are responsible, and the order will go down, Xu Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, will each be fined for one month as a warning."

"Yes!"

Someone immediately implemented Guo Peng's order.

"Liu Di, from today on, you are the county magistrate of Ye County, with a rank of 1,000 stones, I hope you will do your best to serve the country in the future, and you will never let anyone who does your best to serve the country be wronged, nor will you not get the rewards you deserve."

The emperor did not give anyone else any chance, and after punishing the people, he made a final decision and personally appointed Liu Di as the county magistrate of Ye County.

Liu Di saw that Guo Peng dismissed four people from official positions on the spot for his promotion, just so that he could be the county magistrate, and he was immediately grateful, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only kneel in front of Guo Peng to express his absolute loyalty.

"Your Majesty's great kindness, the minister has nothing to repay, but to dedicate this body to Your Majesty, let Your Majesty drive!"

Those officials from Li Shu looked at Liu Di enviously and excitedly, and they had their own thoughts in their hearts.

It's Liu Di today, and tomorrow it may not be them.

Times have changed, and they no longer have to be suppressed below the county level, but have the possibility of further rising to the rank of chief officer to grasp real power!

Liu Di is the first person, and they will also become the second and third person!

The flame of hope, which was about to be extinguished, began to burn again at this time.

The officials from the poor family were in the mood to watch the drama because this kind of thing really did not involve them, and most of the officials from the scholars had their own ideas, except for a few who were as calm as water, and basically felt that this was not a good thing.

The emperor has only promoted a county order now, and what about after that?

After that, the emperor promoted three officials from Li Shu to serve as county commanders of Bohai County, Qinghe County and Wei County, and promoted a group of county officials who had made meritorious contributions to the county government.

Judging by this situation, it seems that the emperor intends to directly raise the level of Li Shu officials to a higher level, allowing them to hold the position of county commander, and can be transferred to the county government as important auxiliary officials to assist the county guard in managing the affairs of a county.

This range was suddenly expanded a little, and the promotion channels of Li Shu officials were opened up a little more.

This makes some people a little nervous, a little worried, and a little unhappy.

In these years, my ancestors have never been a county guard, and they are embarrassed to call themselves poor.

In any family of poor families, at least one of the ancestors of the previous generations has been a county taishou, a 2,000-stone level official.

The descendants don't say it, but at least with this scale, it can be called a cold door, otherwise it is just a simple local tyrant, and can only be called a king and a small official in the local area.

However, in the eyes of the scholars, it makes no difference.

Now it's just to let Li Shu be the county order, which can't meet the standards of the cold door, but this kind of thing has two and three, who knows when the emperor will promote the rising channel of his subordinates to the state and county level on a whim?

In that way, Li Shu can also be a 2,000-stone official?

A group of mud-legged people whose ancestors are all illiterate in big characters can also be officials of 2,000 stones?

Not to mention what the scholars thought, some officials from humble backgrounds were also surprised and slightly unhappy about this.

It felt as if my identity had been shaken.

The mud leg is the most despicable and least valued, unworthy of the people, and in the eyes of most rulers, it is not even a human being, just a tool of production, and it is not even as valuable as a cow and a horse.

Now Guo Peng actually has a tendency to make them the two thousand stone county guards?

What does the emperor want to do?
