Although the case of the military department has come to an end for the time being, the hearts of the courtiers are still heavy.

It must be known that the temperament of the current emperor is not as exposed as the previous emperor, and many things are accumulated in the bottom of his heart, and by the time the attack comes out, it is irreparable. Since ancient times, when dealing with corruption cases, it has been common for thunder to rain and rain, but once the Supreme really makes up his mind, that purge is inevitable.

After returning from the dynasty without a trace, he returned to the Qinzheng Hall to review the fold, and he picked up a fold, but found that the handwriting was both familiar and unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a long time. After carefully studying it for a moment, he waved his hand to summon Wang Hai, pointed to the fold and asked, "When was this fold delivered?" ”

After Wang Hai glanced at it, he bowed down and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, Xian Shouzhong and Gong Xun Guifei have come, because the emperor has ordered it, and the servants have not dared to stop it." Later, Concubine Xun seemed to leave something on the emperor's desk and left, and the slave didn't dare to ask more. He was also very strange in his heart, he was listless for a while before he smoked, but this time he looked very good, but she was a concubine, what did she do to leave a fold for the emperor? Moreover, the third prince has been ordered to succeed to the prince as the heir, and everyone has asked the concubine about her fall from grace, but she can't see it at all.

Feng Wuxian frowned, and saw that there were no other eunuchs and palace maids around, so he instructed Wang Hai: "I know, this matter is very important, you must not mention it to outsiders, do you know?" ”

His face instantly became extremely serious, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Wang Hai instinctively took a step back, his expression becoming more and more respectful and frightened, "Your Majesty, don't worry." The slave is not such a mouthful person, and he will not say a word even if he rots in his stomach. "There are always a few secrets in the emperor's family, and Wang Hai has followed Emperor Wanlie for many years. Naturally, I know this rule, at this moment. He hated his mouths so much, didn't he just say he didn't know and it was over?

Feng Wuxian glanced at Wang Hai again, and then waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and he looked at the strip of Chen intently. Since his accession to the throne, he has rarely started writing again. So he didn't recognize the handwriting for a while. I saw that it was densely written with neat small letters, and there was no trace of alteration between the lines, which looked pleasing to the eye. However, Feng Wuxian will not only pay attention to these superficial skills, but also the real things inside that he attaches the most importance to.

However, after only the first glance, Feng Wuxian felt his heart throb. It turned out that the first suggestion of Yue Qiyan was to abolish the grace system. It is clearly written in the article that in addition to the official who died in the royal affairs, he can be a son of the prince to enter the country to supervise, and the term of office is a candidate. In other words, except for the special case called the difficult shade, the rest of the special shade must be abolished. Originally, the special shade refers to the fact that the descendants of the meritorious heroes can be sent to the ministry to introduce the gifted officials.

Generally speaking. The shade of the first-grade official is lacking in the fifth grade, the shade of the second-grade official is lacking in the sixth grade, the third-grade official is in the shade of the seventh grade, and the fourth-grade official's shade is lacking in the eighth grade. As for the order of the shade.

It is carried out in the order of the eldest descendant, the second descendant, the eldest descendant, the second descendant, and the younger nephew. As a result, the children of the family often choose all kinds of good and shortage, while the children of the poor family who have passed the imperial examination have to work hard for qualifications and wait for promotion.

Although Feng Wuxian also felt that the sons of Xun Gui occupied too many official positions in the court, and had considered various new measures, he was not as radical as Yue Qiyan. If it is really discussed, the scope of this matter is too wide, and now among the senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee, there are only a few children who have become successful after all, after all, not everyone is as strict as Bao Huasheng, and the children of wealthy families like Bao Fengcui who have come out of the imperial examination are even rarer. The abolition of the special shade system can certainly benefit the common people, but the fluctuations it causes in the capital are quite worrying.

A little distraught, Feng Wuxian turned his head to look at the second one, and only then did he show a slight smile on his face. It turned out that Yue Qiyan felt that many local scholars were always waiting for the vacancy in the Hanlin Academy, but they did not have any practical experience when they were actually vacant, so they proposed a probationary system. At the end of the three-year term, all Hanlin will be appointed as county and state officials according to the assessment results, and will only be awarded the real local vacancies after the actual performance is made. Although this article has been implemented in the past, it was deposed during the reign of Emperor Gaozu due to the arrogance of many Jinshi. Now that the smoke is rising, I suddenly mentioned this matter again, because there are too many pedantic nerds among the Jinshi who have studied hard for ten years.

Feng Wuxian smiled faintly, and turned over to look at the next ones, these are naturally about the purging of officials. Historically, when a new monarch ascends the throne, he will use this set, but in his later years, he is often still corrupt by officials, and it can be said that he has never found a way to cure it. Of course, Yue Qiyan didn't have that much ability, and she could only put forward some ideas. Rao is like this, she is from a merchant family, and she is more utilitarian than the senior officials of the court.

Officials are required to register their wealth and property with the Ministry of Officials before taking office, and they are also required to register the same after leaving office. If the change in the family property is too large, and the person cannot explain the details, the local officials will be jointly questioned by the three divisions, and the Beijing officials will be tried by the Dali Temple. During his tenure, officials are not allowed to accept valuable gifts from others, and even if they are exchanged with relatives and friends, the gifts must not exceed 100 taels of silver. If an official's relatives are businessmen, if they have oppressed the people, they will be held accountable together with the official himself. If an official leaves office and is indeed incorruptible, he will be rewarded with a plaque at the expense of the imperial court, and he will be allowed to hang it in the family temple for generations, and those who have made outstanding achievements will be rewarded separately and can be engraved for retention. The ancestors were honest officials, and their children were given priority in the imperial examination.

Among the officials of the fourth rank and above, each according to the grade of the selection of talents for the imperial court is another way to become a member of the imperial examination, and the candidates recommended shall not come from the family of officials above the fourth rank. After the imperial court gets the list, the Supervision Yuan, the Ministry of Officials jointly conduct an assessment, and the selection of outstanding talents is handed over to the emperor or the prime minister, the minister and the university scholar Zaifu Imperial Examination, if it is indeed extremely outstanding, then the recommended person is recommended for meritorious service, and the candidate is also according to the talent to fill the vacancy, the grade ranges from eight to five grades. However, Feng Wuxian went to the root of it, but found that this was still a shortcut to face the poor scholars, and for the senior members of the court, although they could be promoted to knighthood because of this, the benefits to their descendants were limited.

The last one is about succession. Because Emperor Wanlie Feng Huanzhao was also extremely disgusted with the idleness of those noble children, he specially ordered the Zongren Mansion to evaluate all the sons and daughters of the Emperor, and those who were unqualified were deprived of the right to inherit, and selected the more outstanding ones from the side children of the family to become heirs. However, although his approach barely maintained a little vitality for those princes and nobles, it was also a palliative rather than a cure.

If there are many people among the sons of the nobles who have real talents and learning, the court can reward the inheritance of the double title, that is, on the basis of the original title, another reduced title. Not only that, after passing the Guozijian examination, he can also ask the emperor to grant him an official position, regardless of the number of people. For those who fail to succeed, they will not only take back their titles, but also issue orders to take responsibility.

Feng Wuxian saw the end, and fine beads of sweat were already on the tip of his nose. He can be sure that if it is really carried out in its entirety, the turmoil caused by the DPRK and China will be absolutely inevitable. These are fierce drugs, and they can only be tried slowly step by step, otherwise they may only attract unnecessary trouble. Fortunately, these things have nothing to do with the tax reform that he recently asked Bao Huasheng and others to study, and they touch the interests of the family, and they can be tried to implement it. He was thinking about the gains and losses there, when he suddenly noticed that there was a small clip in the fold, and he couldn't help but pick it up again.

It's okay not to look at it, but when he saw it, he was immediately stunned. It took her a full month to sort out her clues, and after writing down these things that have existed in her chest and abdomen for a long time, she knew that she had violated the court etiquette and palace rules, so she asked to retire from the palace, and never asked about the political affairs of the court. Not only that, but she also promised that the Yue family in southern Fujian and the Yue family in the capital would no longer have actual contacts from now on, and that the Yue family would no longer devote themselves to the imperial examination within two generations except for the children of the scholars. Feng Wuxian looked at it, remembering his previous will, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He didn't know that he was just demanding perfection, and now it seemed that if he really fought with what he had learned in his smoke, the consequences would indeed be unpredictable.

Thinking of this, Feng Wuxian took a small box on the desk, solemnly locked the fold inside, and then called Xiao Fangzi and instructed him to pass on the oral message to the bell and the palace, but there was only one 'quasi', the word. Some inexplicable little recipes didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly ran out.

On December 19 of the sixth year of Yufeng, Concubine Xun became more and more infected with a vicious disease, and after many times of diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctor, there was still no cure, and she died in Zhonghe Palace at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. The emperor remembered the affection of the year, and mourned extraordinarily, and bequeathed her as the concubine of the Xunyi Emperor.

Three days later, Prince Feng died at the age of 86. The emperor remembered his three dynasties and made outstanding contributions, and he added to his posthumous mourning. At that time, the third prince Feng Haozhun was young, because he was ordered to take the line of the heir prince, he helped the coffin out of the funeral with the support of the nursing mother's guards, and kept filial piety for three nights. The emperor specially enshrined the young Feng Haozhun as the prince of hooligans, and rewarded the princes.

On the eve of the Chinese New Year's Eve of the sixth year of Yufeng, the emperor decreed that the fifth prince Fenghaoqian, who was only three years old, enter the Hai family, and allowed him to use his original name for Hai Congrui, which was Hai Haoqian, and Jin Feng Hai Congrui was the third-class Chengen Gong.

At this point, there are only Feng Haoyang, the eldest son of the emperor from the concubine, Feng Haofang, the second prince Feng Haofang from the concubine, Feng Haojia, the fifth prince from the queen, and the fourth son Feng Haoming, the sixth prince from Concubine Rong.

On the New Year's Day of the seventh year of Yufeng, the emperor was ordered by the Empress Dowager Xiao to entitle Xiao Chonghua's daughter Xiao as a concubine, and He Mobin's daughter as a concubine. The He and Xiao families, who had fought endlessly in the later years of the emperor, once again made all the courtiers look sideways because of the emperor's will. This year, Emperor Feng Wuxian was just twenty-nine years old. Lingyun Zhiyi Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 21 Article Chen
