Chapter 407: The hard days of the scholar are really coming

Yu Shi Zhongcheng! Zhao Gou looked at Qin Hui in front of him, and his mood was very complicated.

This is one of the most shameless sinners in Chinese history, although he is suspected of carrying the black pot for Zhao Jiumei, but this does not prevent hundreds of millions of sentient beings from hating him for thousands of years.

If it was the second period of secondary school, Zhao Gou would probably reward him directly, as for the crime, there is no need.

But now he knew that Qin Hui in front of him not only couldn't just cut it down, but also reused it.

Because it's a flag, even if it's just a flag that's not very tall.

"Is it so straightforward in Bianliang City?" Qin Hui's attitude is so clear, Wang Zongwei even treats him as a messenger, and Li Ruoshui does not stop him, the amount of information in this is really very large.

"The official family has already gone south, and it is no wonder that the ministers are right and wrong." Qin Hui replied respectfully.

The news that Wang Zongwei asked him to convey was very clear, that is, please rest assured that the people in the Yan Wangfu would never make the slightest mistake. This is a signal from Zhao Huan in a sense.

Zhao Gou was not surprised by this, Zhao Huan was able to survive in such a humiliating environment as being exiled north for nearly thirty years, which shows how greedy he is for life and afraid of death. He didn't have the courage to fight to the death with his own sabotage, which Zhao Gou had long expected.

But this is what he wants to receive.

Therefore, Qin Hui, who passed on this love, has completed its own task.

As for the edict given by Wang Zongmi, Zhao Huan wanted to share the world equally with Zhao Gou, with the Yellow River as the boundary, about a brotherly country, and Zhao Gou didn't even look at it. Qin Hui is also very sad about this so-called edict.

Because everybody knows it's a cover.

"In that case, how many civil and military officials in Bianliang City now want to work for Lone?"

Zhao Gou reluctantly gave Qin Hui a seat, and then asked in a gentle voice. At this time, Qin Hui was already completely in the style of Zhao Gou's courtiers.

"Your Majesty, there are no less than 1,000 officials in the capital alone, and there are countless alternate officials. There are also no math students in Taixue, and they are all looking forward to the king's grace. ”

"Alternate? Too student? Zhao Gou's cheeks twitched, "The one who wants to be able to do things is the one who can do things, and how many officials are there in the yamen now?" ”

Zhao Gou was very unimpressed with the first two. I am not surprised by the number of 'thousands'.

Well, in the early days of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there were only more than 10,000 officials, but by the time of Song Huizong, there were already 50,000. Among these people, there are naturally many royal relatives and nobles, and there are also royal officials like Han Gongyi, but more of them are Jinshi who were born in the imperial examination.

Because, the old Zhao family is hanging. In the 290 years of Li Tang's reign, he took 268 imperial examinations, and the total number of admissions was only more than 7,000 people, with an average of less than 30 people per list. But what about Zhao Song? When Zhao Lao was old, it was okay, but when Zhao Lao was the second, the imperial examination was opened, and the amount of admission instantly increased by more than ten times. By the time of Zhenzong and Renzong, it was already commonplace to admit three or four hundred people in one subject.

As for Huizong's admission of thousands of fifth-class scholars at one time, you can't say more, right?

Because of the fact that one subject and one subject of Jinshi have long formed a huge political group, and its strength is far from being comparable to the number of cute officials and supplementary officials. They don't allow outside forces to spoil their cake.

Even if many officials have nothing to do with their names, this huge civilian-bureaucratic group still does not allow policy changes, and this is how the redundant officials of the Northern Song Dynasty came.

The Battle of Bianliang is about to start again. Many officials hung up their seals and chose to leave this place of right and wrong, but at the same time, there were also many officials who entered the capital like a flood, these people were nominal alternate officials, and they were under Zhao Huan when they were actually granted a long time away, and now they are all counting on Zhao Gou to let them get what they want. And the same is true of the students who didn't leave.

Qin Hui understood what it meant, but he was speechless. There are so many officials in Bianliang City, how does he know who can use it. There are still a few officials left in the various yamen, and this is not something he can know.

"The minister only knows that there are fifteen officials in the upper and lower levels of the Imperial History Stage."

Zhao Gou was happy to hear it, Yushitai, there are still fifteen left, this can be regarded as a surprise. After all, the number of people in the imperial history platform is not very large, don't look at the three courtyards of the Taiwan Courtyard, the Palace Courtyard, and the Procuratorate, which are respectively placed in the imperial history, the imperial history in the palace, and the imperial history of supervision; Supervisors also have non-permanent lines, speeches, and imperial histories, etc., but there are only fifty or sixty people when they are full.

"Who are these people? You can talk about it. Zhao Gou narrowed his eyes.

Watching Qin Hui bring together the names, positions, backgrounds, and resumes of a cadre of people like a few family treasures, even if the person in front of him was the one he didn't want to see, Zhao Gou had to admit that Qin Hui was a good bureaucrat.

He asked Qin Hui to introduce these individuals, not to see if there were any available talents among these people, but to test Qin Hui's seriousness in his work.

As a result, this person who was not treated well by him handed over a full score answer sheet to Zhao Gou.

"Qin Qing has a heart. When you go back, you will gather the people and so on. There are also official documents and archives of the Imperial Historical Observatory, so be sure not to make mistakes. ”

Qin Hui was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to kowtow immediately to thank him. Zhao Gou told him to bring everyone together well, isn't this just a promise. And being able to jump from the middle of the imperial history to the imperial historian, from the fourth-grade official to the third-grade official, is definitely a qualitative leap for him.

"Don't rejoice too soon. Lone has long been criticized for Yushitai. Zhao Gou waved his hand, the right to "wind and news" was too unscrupulous, and the latter was also mixed with Shilin Qing from time to time, in a sense, Yushitai has become a sharp knife that the six relatives do not recognize.

The emperor originally wanted to use the Imperial Historical Observatory to check and balance the court, because Zhao Song was a political entity in which the Son of Heaven and the scholars shared the world. For ordinary matters, the emperor asked the government to entrust it, the Zhongshu Province focused on government affairs, and the Privy Council focused on military affairs. After the government has made a decision, it may be called an edict after the emperor's final review.

From a certain point of view, the government is like an opposition party, and the imperial history platform and other supervisory organs are like an opposition party, and the emperor is reluctant to listen to the buzz of the opposition party, but it is also necessary to use them to knock down the government, so as to take the opportunity to reorganize the government and seize power.

It is true that the grades of the imperial historians are not high, but because they can impeach people and things, even the prime minister will worry about three points. The boss of the Imperial Observatory is definitely a majestic lord in the court.

However, the emperor could not prevent the power of the civil official group from eroding the supervision institutions such as the Imperial Historical Observatory little by little, because the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory and other departments were also from the imperial examination, and they also had relatives and friends. Everyone is born as a family.

As a result, the role of supervisory institutions such as the Imperial Historical Observatory has slowly changed its positioning, from a sharp weapon to balance the court in the palm of the emperor's hand, to the vanguard of party struggle.

Who told the imperial historians to hear about it, and what is the difference between this and chasing after the wind? Those with empty lips and white teeth can defile people's innocence.

After contacting Shilin Qingyi again, the threat to the literati is already terrifying!

Unless you can ask the emperor to openly support you on the platform, just like Shenzong Yu Wang Anshi, Huizong Yu Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Zhu Mian, etc.

"Half and half. I don't want you to 'know everything', but everyone is responsible for what they do. You can say that a clean official is corrupt out of thin air, as long as you can really take down another corrupt official. ”

"One truth and one falsehood, Lone allows you to make mistakes, and allows you to chase after the wind and shadows. But only half the chance. ”

"The officials under the Imperial History Observatory have a summary every quarter, and those who can't reach the red line will be dismissed and never recalled."

With Zhao Gou's words, Qin Hui's mouth became bigger and bigger, and his heart was also sinking little by little. This King Yan is really harsh enough, and he doesn't even let go of Yu Shitai. The hard days of the scholars are coming, and the hard days of the scholars are really coming......
