【0708 Fancy Selection】
Those who can't take the turn to serve in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple don't have to be discouraged?
When everyone present heard Wei Bao say this, they all felt disgusted, including those who had already planned to buy officials.
"You may think I'm singing high-pitched, but I'm telling the truth, not just empty words, and not just official words to stabilize you. Although I am an official, I don't like to talk empty and official. In the end, those of you who can't stay in the Duchayuan and Dali Temple are nothing more than two situations, either you are not willing to spend money, or you can't trust me Wei Bao, and you feel that you have to spend money, and you can't spend it on me. The main thing is that you can't trust me Wei Bao! Am I right? The five-rank officials, five-rank officials, sixth-grade officials, sixth-grade officials, seventh-grade officials, seventh-rank officials, eighth-rank officials, eighth-rank officials, and nine-rank officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, are all people from this yamen, or people who are very familiar with this yamen, it is impossible not to know! Am I right? The officials who went out from the Duchayuan and Dali Temple are also my friends of Wei Bao, you have feelings for the Duchayuan and Dali Temple, and I Wei Bao also have feelings for the Duchayuan and Dali Temple, so everyone has been noisy since yesterday afternoon, I don't think there is anything, everyone has a temper, and it is normal to lose your temper. Wei Bao laughed.
"Master Wei, no matter what you say, if we don't buy officials, won't we be able to have a position?" An official said with a bitter face.
"This kind of thing shouldn't be said too clearly here! But I can say clearly, where do you keep your official position without spending money? You don't have to spend money to get promoted? There is silver, at least it means that there is this strength, and it also means that you can trust me Wei Bao! Also, don't just have money, but also look at fame and ability! It's really a person who doesn't even have a reputation for showing talent, and it's really an elm pimple who doesn't open his mind, and can't be qualified for the errands of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, can it? Among the thousands of you officials who can receive money in the household department, at least hundreds of them are really not suitable for working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, am I not wrong? These people, even if you want to spend money, I can't give you a place. However, I will give you a good review after you leave the Duchayuan and Dali Temple, so that you can try to run a runway record division, monk record division, Honglu Temple, Shanglin Yuan and other yamen officials in the future, I know, you want officials, mainly in order to make the family have face, make the best use of people, put it in a more suitable place, it may be more useful! Wei Bao said sincerely.
To say here, there are definitely no people with IQ defects, the incumbent officials, at least are more than the fame, to the level of lifting people, there may be nerds, but there will be no people with low IQ, these people put it in modern times, one is counted as one, are they all at the level of a doctor of literature or above?
Wei Bao felt that he had made everything that should be said clearly, and did not continue to mobilize.
The people in the Dali Temple and the courtyard of the Ducha Yuan did not react, there was no scene of Wei Bao looking forward to buying officials, and there were no more people who jumped up to quarrel with him.
Shen Hezhe was silent and hesitated, considering whether to find Wei Bao to ask for an official, because Wei Bao just said that as long as he thinks he has the ability but does not have the ability, he can talk to him, he doesn't know whether what Wei Bao said is true or false, and he is afraid that Wei Bao will say that he is incapable and will not be able to wipe his face.
Yesterday, with Shen Hezhe, the imperial history of Donglin, Zheng Xiuhua, a more fierce Donglin official, and Xu Shangjing, a eunuch official, made trouble, but they did not forget their original attributes.
The Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party have always been incompatible, and the Donglin Party officials and eunuch officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple actually know each other very well which side of the people each other are, and they usually don't speak.
But at this time, Xu Shangjing took the initiative to speak to Zheng Xiuhua.
"What now? Just now he said that there was evidence of our crimes, and there were a lot of noisy people yesterday, but they caught us and didn't let us go. Xu Shangjing said.
Zheng Xiuhua was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Xu Shangjing to take the initiative to talk to herself, she looked around, for fear of being seen by other Donglin Party officials, and then whispered to the ground, "We really shouldn't be the first birds!" I feel like he still wants silver! Didn't he just say that? As long as you take out the money, and you feel that your ability is competent for the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, you can go to him! It's a big deal to admit your mistake, what is this in officialdom? ”
"Yes." Xu Shangjing also followed Zheng Xiuhua's example, and said to the ground, "It's not that I don't have no money, and I'm not embarrassed to admit my mistakes, I know my own affairs, whether it's the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate or the evaluation of Dali Temple, I have no problem!" I'm mainly unwilling, why do we have to spend money to keep our position when we are already people with official positions? Moreover, I don't worry about this Wei Bao, now it is the world of Wei Gonggong, I don't know if this Wei Bao is Wei Gonggong's person, give him the silver, I don't know if it's useful. ”
"What is Wei's world? Don't you look at how many of the court officials are not from our Donglin! Zheng Xiuhua was suddenly unhappy.
"Okay, Master Zheng, I'm not here to quarrel with you." Xu Shangjing said: "You can think whatever you like." Do you think he's from Donglin? More unlikely, right? ”
Xu Shangjing and Zheng Xiuhua both used the word 'he' to represent Wei Bao, even if they whispered in private, they didn't dare to call Wei Bao's name, but they were unwilling to call Wei Bao.
This is the subtlety of the minds of two people.
Zheng Xiuhua didn't say anything, raised her head in contemplation, and looked at the various official halls.
Those who were called away by Wei Bao were really busy, and they didn't seem to be busy, they were really sorting out the various files.
They even put all the previous files in order.
"It's strange, they don't look like they're pretending!" Zheng Xiuhua said softly and coldly.
"Yes, if he really has a big backer, it's really not easy to do." Xu Shangjing sighed and said, "He is the person who has been given an official title by His Majesty, His Majesty has been on the throne for four or five years, and he has not given an official title to a few people in total, only a handful!" I heard that he is the younger brother of Dongli Niangniang, and Dongli Niangniang is the one who brought up His Majesty, this relationship is not trivial, it is not good, His Majesty really likes him. ”
"Yes, it's a hassle!" Zheng Xiuhua nodded.
Both of them were eager to talk about whether it was going to cost money, but neither of them spoke first.
This morning, Wei Bao sold more than 100 official positions!
The official positions below the seventh rank of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple were basically sold out.
There are many new science and technology scholars who want to buy a Zhengqipin official position, but they have not been approved, and most of what Wei Bao sells is for the children of the Yamen.
Of course, Wei Bao also said good things to those new scholars, saying that there will be a chance in the future, and they will enter the Duchayuan and Dali Temple at one time, the goal is too big, and he will try to arrange for them to other yamen in the future, and even the six ministries, and the key departments in the cabinet.
The new science and technology scholars talked in a low voice, and they were very sorry, and the incumbent officials pricked up their ears to eavesdrop, and these words had a greater impact on them.
Many incumbent officials are on the verge of collapse, after all, most of the remaining official positions are Zhengqipin, and if they sell one, there will be one less, and they estimate that there are less than 150 positions left.
Above the seventh grade, the sixth grade official and the fifth grade official are even more scarce and deadly resources.
Many people want to buy sixth-grade officials and fifth-grade officials, but the price is too high, and they are afraid that Wei Bao will not use it, and it will be easy for the silver to go out, and it will be difficult to regret it again.
"Master Li, you said that in the end, there will be so many people who can't buy officials, will they be willing? I'm just afraid that when the government is disbanded today, the officials who can't buy officials will still make trouble collectively. Guo Wenliang said to Li Limin.
Li Limin said coldly, "It's already done, do you regret it?" Do your thing! ”
Guo Wenliang pursed his lips, and said in his heart, aren't you afraid?
At noon, Wei Bao arranged for a few more Donglin Party Qingliu officials to look for him.
This time, the hearts of most people have collapsed, because how these Donglin Party Qingliu usually treat people and things, they are very clear that these people think they are Qingliu, and they are generally very high-minded, do not make friends with officials, and do not accept bribes!
Wei Baoken gave these people official positions, and he must not have received any money.
It seems that Wei Bao really doesn't talk big words, he really doesn't only value silver, but also ability.
Of course, more than a dozen Qingliu Donglin Party, Wei Bao only arranged 6 people, and even promoted a Zhengqipin Yushi, directly changed the yamen to that person, and got the Yamen of Dali Temple to be a deputy from Liupin Temple, and the news was even more explosive.
The remaining Donglin Party Qingliu who were not arranged by Wei Bao, Wei Bao persuaded him with good words, saying that he admired the character of these people very much, and would ask the cabinet to rearrange errands for them as soon as possible, not that they did not do well, but that they did a good job, and only served as the imperial historian in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or served as a commentator in the Dali Temple, and they were too wronged by them.
These people are not easy to talk about.
Moreover, the reason why Wei Bao did not arrange official positions for the remaining 13 Donglin Party Qingliu was because he didn't want them to stay and continue to form a force.
The other six Donglin Party Qingliu who were arranged by Wei Bao felt that they could be transformed, even if they couldn't be transformed, there were only single digits left, and their role and strength would be much smaller.
Among the people who were not arranged, there must be Shen Hezhe who took the lead in making trouble.
"Lord Shen, let's talk." After persuading the dozen or so Donglin Party members away, Wei Bao took the initiative to find Shen Hezhe.
Shen Hezhe said coldly, "What are you talking about?" Could it be that Lord Wei would arrange a place for someone like me? Do you also want to do what you told them, to tell me to put the overall situation first, and not to fight against the eunuchs anymore? No way! I am the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate appointed by the cabinet, and the Cabinet Lord Zhu Yanxi is my teacher, unless His Majesty decrees not to let me be an official in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, otherwise, I will die in the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. As long as I see the eunuchs doing evil, I won't care! Also, if you openly buy and sell officials, I must be impeached to the end! ’
Wei Bao saw that this guy was so emotional, and secretly thought that there was no need to talk about it.
"Have you ever thought that Jiannu outside the gate will become big one day? Have you ever thought that the Wei family is not something you can clear if you want to? Wei Bao said in a low voice, "Say something you don't like to hear, you think you are doing the right thing, it may not help the court at all!" ”
"You fart! If you openly buy and sell officials, will it help the imperial court? The eunuch party is just a big eunuch with a small eunuch to be greedy, and the little eunuch is corrupt with a group of eunuch officials, making the whole Ming Dynasty a miasma, if you don't sweep away these unhealthy trends, can it work? Shen Hezhe ignored Wei Bao's efforts to change the topic: "Don't you want to say that we also have a lot of corrupt officials in Donglin?" Want to say we don't do things? ”
Indeed, you are not wrong! Most of you are no different from the Wei family! Daming wants people who do practical things, not a bunch of empty words. Wei Bao said, "If you are not convinced, I can give you my position, do you have the ability to arrange the personnel of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple?" As long as you say a way that convinces me, I will go to the script, and ask Your Majesty to give you the position of the Minister of Experience of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Zuo Si of Dali Temple. ”
Shen Hezhe snorted and didn't say anything, he really couldn't think of any way, this kind of person can only talk about it.
Wei Bao felt that everything that should have been said had already been said, and said, "I know that no matter what I say, you, Lord Shen, will only oppose it, and you won't listen to it!" But I think that people like you, the most important thing to go to is actually Liaodong, if you have the ability, you can go to the territory of Jiannu and lead a group of Han people to open a mansion and set up a town! Much more meaningful than what you have to do now! I'll apply for you on top of your comments! ”
Shen Hezhe stared at Wei Bao, as if he didn't believe that Wei Bao would do this.
Wei Bao smiled slightly, "People can't stand without faith, what I said has been done!" Even if I can't do it, I won't forget that I can definitely do it when I write a review and ask for an official for you! ”
Wei Bao said, took Shen Hezhe's hand and went outside the official hall.
Shen Hezhe wanted to shake off Wei Bao's hand, but he was a man in his forties, but he was powerless, and he was not as powerful as Wei Bao, a teenager, which shocked him.
Wei Bao doesn't look very burly, huh? I don't know what Wei Bao wants to do? Do you want to beat yourself up in front of everyone and establish your prestige?
Wei Bao arrived outside the compound and let go of Shen Hezhe.
"There are still 144 official positions left, and we will definitely be able to determine the right person this afternoon!" Wei Bao said loudly.
As soon as everyone heard Wei Bao speak, they all stood and faced Wei Bao, they didn't know what Wei Bao was going to do, the people who had not yet implemented their official positions were going to collapse, they were anxious, they knew that Wei Bao was not bragging, and there were really not many official positions.
Without waiting for everyone to vent their dissatisfaction, Wei Bao followed closely and said, "Don't say that I don't give everyone a chance!" I've been there before, I don't have any money, but I think I have the ability, you can come to me to recommend yourself, the people who come, I basically passed, a few who didn't pass, not that you don't think you are capable, but I think you are suitable for the yamen that is more suitable for your ability! I was going to decide whether or not all of you should stay or not in my opinion, but I don't think it's safe now, and I'm not in a position to say whether any of you are suitable. Therefore, for the next 144 official positions, I plan to let the rest of you who have no official positions vote for themselves! There are more than 1,800 of you left without a place, and you all know each other, probably familiar, and even if you are not familiar, you have heard of each other's abilities! So the remaining 144 official positions, let the rest of you who have no official positions vote for themselves! The top 100 can get the opportunity to give priority to 32 fifth-grade officials and sixth-rank officials, and the top 500 can get the chance to get the seventh-rank officer first! The official positions below the seventh rank are already all occupied! The people who voted for themselves are naturally people who are widely recognized by everyone, and I hope that you will put aside the stereotypes of Donglin, or non-Donglin people, and only vote according to their character and ability, and everyone will have a chance. ”
It was not clear why Wei Bao was doing this.
But they have to admire Wei Bao, which is indeed quite fair.
"Lord Wei, what's the use of voting for this? Isn't it true that the top 500 people don't have to spend money? An official asked.
"Why don't you spend silver?" Wei Bao said with a smile, "Voting for this means that the top 100 can get the opportunity to give priority to 32 fifth-grade officials and sixth-grade officials, and the top 500 can give priority to the opportunity to get seventh-grade officials!" Officials other than 500, I basically don't think about it. There are two purposes for doing this, one is to make you feel fair, you can't get into the top 500, and you won't leave regrets, who told you not to hurry up before? Another purpose is to really select talented people, and those who get a lot of votes at least show that they are popular. Good popularity is ability in itself, this is a secret ballot, public vote, the fairest. ”
"What if you get in the top 500? A lot of people don't plan to buy an official! You don't think that everyone has to buy an official. Shen Hezhe said coldly.
Wei Bao smiled slightly, "I didn't force everyone, if the top 500 officials still can't pick out 144 seventh-grade officials, sixth-grade officials, and fifth-grade officials, then expand the scope and rank in the top 1,000!" ”
Shen Hezhe stopped talking, secretly thinking about this Wei Bao, a belly of bad water, the worst official of the eunuch party is not as bad as this kid, when will this kid grow up and gain power? It's already so bad to only control the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple?
However, hatred is hate, Shen Hezhe, like all officials, thinks that Wei Bao is indeed talented, as long as he can survive to the official rank above the fourth grade, the future future is limitless!
"Give everyone a note, and the brush will be used in turn." Wei Bao said to Lin Wenbiao.
This matter is simple, as soon as Lin Wenbiao beckons, there will be an errand to do these things.
"Sit down, don't look at what people are writing." Wei Bao said loudly, "People outside the top 500 don't have to have any burden, this ranking has nothing to do with the comments I wrote to you." ”
Many people don't want to participate, but they don't dare not participate, even if they don't buy officials in Wei Bao's hands, they don't dare to offend Wei Bao easily, only thirty or forty people have a very resolute attitude, and they tore up the note on the spot to show their determination.
Thirty or forty people have nothing to do with the big picture.
Voting, counting, counting, the speed is very fast, and it is all done in an hour.
Most of the top 500 people are happy, which is an affirmation, and it is very difficult to be affirmed by colleagues.
It's just that the votes are generally very low, the first place only got about 20 votes, the first place got 12 votes, and many people got the same number of votes.
The 500th place received only 3 votes.
Although Wei Bao didn't expect that the votes were generally so low, he was not very surprised, the literati were light, not to mention that the Yamen like the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple were all mouth-moving, and they were even more light.
He began to say that there are two purposes of voting, in fact, there is a hidden purpose, Wei Bao did not say, that is, this kind of voting can better plug the mouths of those who have not obtained official positions! Everyone participated in the vote, and you voted so low, who did you complain about?
The pride of those who voted for the top 500 is also what Wei Bao needs.
This is a promotion in disguise, he didn't spend a little cost, so that these 500 people feel different from the other more than 1,300 people, a bit of a superior feeling, for no reason, there is an extra opportunity, can give priority to the purchase of seventh, sixth, and fifth-grade officials.
What Wei Bao didn't expect was that Qingliu Shen Hezhe of the Donglin Party, who took the lead in making trouble, actually won the first place! He got a total of 29 votes!
Now there are not many Donglin parties among the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, which shows that many neutrals voted for Shen Hezhe, this person does have the capital of pride, and his ability is recognized.
Moreover, the more than a dozen Donglin Party Qingliu officials who were excluded from the arrangement of official positions by Wei Bao all entered the top 100!
This makes Wei Bao very embarrassed, these people are thorns and have no money!
But this incident also touched Wei Bao a lot, no matter when, Qing officials are always respected.
Even if most of the more than 1,800 people are corrupt officials, it does not prevent corrupt officials from voting for Qing officials, and many of these people may have been impeached by people like Shen Hezhe.
"Lord Shen, if you don't want to be in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I will still say that, I will write a recital for you, and apply for the release of the magistrate to you, with your ability and prestige, at least a five-grade prefect." Wei Bao said, "But if you insist on staying in the Imperial Inspectorate, I can announce that you will remain in the position of Imperial Historian now." ”
Shen Hezhe looked at Wei Bao in surprise, he didn't expect that Wei Bao really didn't need silver, and he was willing to keep his official position for himself.
Seeing that Shen Hezhe didn't speak, Wei Bao sighed and said, "Lord Shen, time is running out!" If you don't answer, I'll give you up! DID YOU KNOW? You don't have to spend a penny of silver, but I personally want to paste 5,000 taels of silver for you! ”
Wei Bao's official is getting more and more expensive, and the tide is rising, and the seven-grade official was originally 3,000 taels of silver, but now it has already risen to 5,000 taels of silver.
Shen Hezhe still didn't speak.
Wei Bao smiled, "You can give up, but I want to tell you, after giving up, there is nothing to stop making trouble, and if you try to make trouble again, I will definitely impeach you for trying to bribe Shangguan!" ”
Shen Hezhe stared at Wei Bao with wide eyes, "I intend to bribe Shangguan, who have I bribed?"
"Me!" Wei Bao said, throwing a large silver ingot of 5 taels at Shen Hezhe's feet, "This is the bribe you bribed me."
"You!" Shen Hezhe was almost driven crazy by Wei Bao, he impeached an unknown number of people for bribery, and as a result, it would be his turn one day, he never imagined that Wei Bao would be so despicable and would frame himself.
Wei Bao smiled slightly: "I can't help it!" Also, those who did not participate in the vote just now will also be impeached! ”
