Chapter 492: Resignation
The change of office was a normal thing in later generations, but in ancient times, it was a very abnormal move.
Although the ancient system is no different from the modern system, because both are iron rice bowls, as long as you enter the system, you will be a person in the system for this life, even if you do not hold important positions, as long as the rank is there, you will always enjoy this treatment.
However, there are certain differences between the two, such as regarding the transfer of positions.
A person staying in the same position for a long time is not necessarily a good thing for the ruler and the people.
Of course, there are many good officials who are worried about the country and the people, but if the official reputation is good, it will be good everywhere, and Li Yuanji will not let them be a cold bench because of the change of office, on the contrary, the higher the position these people climb, the greater the benefits to the country and the people.
Time is a pig-killing knife, he can make people's faces wrinkled, and he can also make a person's heart messy.
The re-election, to put it more bluntly, is to provide an impetus for all officials, a driving force to move forward.
Whether or not they succeed in the end, at least they have a chance to walk up.
At the same time, a knife was put on the top of the heads of those in power, if you don't work hard, someone else will replace you, and sitting in this position, the longest is only five years, if the official reputation is not good, even five years can't be done.
In recent days, Li Yuanji has also been working hard for the re-election.
It's not that I'm not at ease, but this is the first large-scale change of office in Datang, and even the first large-scale change in history, and the issues involved in the transfer of officials are all-round, and if they are not done well, they may even affect the normal order of Datang.
In the future, there are methods for future generations, that is, different levels and different times for re-election, and the time is staggered as much as possible to avoid similar situations.
Li Yuanji also thinks so, and at the same time does so.
The change of term should be a top-down change, and Li Yuanji's own plan is that after the New Year's Day next year, starting with the imperial court, the governors of various prefectures and assassins will be replaced in April, and the county orders will be replaced in August.
That is to say, the entire election is changed into three parts, the imperial court, the governor level, and the county order level, with an interval of four months between the three parts, and it takes one year to complete the entire election, and in doing so, the impact time of the change can be shortened as much as possible.
Of course, this is only a procedural rule, and in fact, if you change the term, it is actually a little late to start now.
Therefore, Li Yuanji has been urging and urging the supervisor to come up with a more accurate plan.
As for why this matter is handled by the supervisors, not the ministry?
Very simply, the board of supervisors has the best understanding of the following situation, and the information is also the most comprehensive, Li Yuanji only put forward a request, and according to this requirement, the board of supervisors will list the candidates and materials that meet all the conditions separately, and then hand them over to the Ministry of Officials for selection.
At present, there are more than 3,000 people on the supervisory desk, which is very large, and most of them are low-level officials, so it is natural that they will handle the information fairly and impartially.
"What? Hongshen submitted his resignation? Li Yuanji, who was thinking about how to operate the matter of the re-election, suddenly received Zhang Gongjin's resignation, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yes, just now Hongshen found the minister and submitted this resignation." Xiao Yu held Zhang Gongjin's resignation in his hand, and Song Zhong stepped forward to take it with a very eye-catching look, and then spread it out in front of Li Yuanji.
Rules are rules, except for the official department, all officials, if they want to submit their resignation, must go through the official department.
The officials will review the advanced nature, and if they agree, they will submit it to the emperor for approval.
The difference is still the same as the status level of officials, officials below the fifth grade, just go back and wait after submitting their resignations, whether the emperor approves it or not, and the follow-up officials will go to notify them.
It is different for officials above the fifth rank, if the officials agree, they need to go with Shangshu to meet the emperor to make a detailed explanation.
But this meeting is not just a meeting, it will be submitted by the official department first, if the emperor does not agree, he will be directly returned, and this face will not need to be seen.
And this is not an old-fashioned rule, in the face of the ministers who are particularly valued by the emperor, whether they agree or not, they will meet to understand the thoughts in the minister's heart.
"Edict!" Li Yuanji ordered directly, and he didn't even have time to read the resignation letter.
What does Zhang Gongjin say? Li Shimin's loyal minister, but he had a good relationship with Li Tao, and he was also recommended by Li Tao to enter the Qin Palace.
After Li Yuanji replaced Li Shimin, it was also persuaded by Li Tao, and Zhang Gongjin did not react excessively.
In fact, not many people overreacted, one is that they can't fight, and the other is that Li Yuanji is dead, even if they start an army, the final result will still be a failure, and it will even affect the family.
In addition, Li Shimin made a series of stupid moves in the later period, which made many ministers feel a little cold, in the same way, after Li Yuanji attacked Chang'an like a bamboo and killed Li Shimin, they would surrender so smoothly, although not everyone was sincere, including now.
But for these, Li Yuanji doesn't care, the military power is in hand, as long as these ministers are not stupid, they will not make any drastic moves.
Moreover, they had no one to vote for, and Li Yuan's attitude also cut off the possibility of them getting into trouble.
What about the specific situation, just like the boss of later generations doesn't have to worry about the rebellion of the boss of a province at all, because there is no military power, to put it mildly, those guards arranged around can quell this rebellion, even if there is no defense, the police station can solve it, well, provided that their words can be used......
"Your Majesty ......" Zhang Gongjin soon came to the main hall and saluted Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji frowned slightly, compared to the last time they met, Zhang Gongjin's body shape had lost a lot, and he also had a strange feeling on his body, and his face was not very good.
"Why did you submit this resignation? But do you feel ashamed of Qing? Li Yuanji immediately asked.
"Being able to be an official under His Majesty's rule is the greatest blessing in the minister's life, but the minister feels that he is not well, so he wants to resign and return to his hometown to recuperate." Li Yuanji's words Zhang Gongjin has already understood, he didn't look at his resignation at all, and whether this attitude is pretended or sincere, at least on the surface, he can't find any fault.
In the same way, this also proves their guess, the emperor's scheming is getting deeper and deeper, which is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, and no one can judge whether this matter is right or wrong.
The resignation is definitely going to resign, and the specific reason Zhang Gongjin knows best in his heart, but he still wants to do the last thing for the other old brothers, and through this matter, let them make the final decision.
Ill?
Li Yuanji suddenly understood what he thought was the weird feeling on Zhang Gongjin's body before.
"Imperial Doctor!" Li Yuanji commanded directly.
This time it's not pretending, Zhang Gongjin's ability is no problem, when he served as the governor of Daizhou, he governed Daizhou in an orderly manner, and when he arrived in Xiangzhou, it also made Xiangzhou's situation much better, and in terms of industrialization, it is also one of the best state capitals found by Datang, plus the dense rivers there, Zhang Gongjin also formulated a set of development strategies for Xiangzhou according to local conditions, and even Ma Zhou often went to look at that strategy and learn from its development experience.
And this time for the re-election, Li Yuanji has already decided to transfer Zhang Gongjin back to Chang'an.
And this time the return to the dynasty is actually to communicate, and at the same time make arrangements for the affairs of Xiangzhou, before the change, as far as possible so that the next one can win the position of governor, to ensure that after Zhang Gongjin leaves, the affairs of Xiangzhou will not be affected in any way.
As for the other person, Li Yuanji was hesitating between Duan Lun and Dugu Yanyun, the governor of Zhenzhou.
In history, Dugu Yanyun, who was the governor of Youzhou at the time, died in the confrontation with the Turks, but because Li Yuanji led his troops to destroy the Turks, the confrontation in history did not exist, and Dugu Yanyun survived.
Later, in the second year after Ma Zhou returned to the dynasty, Dugu Yanyun was transferred to the governor of Zhenzhou.
It can be said that in Li Yuanji's plan, these three people are one of the important figures in the next five years, and now there will be some people in the cabinet who will withdraw, but this number is not much, two or three people are enough, and in the next time, or the next election, this group of people will completely retire.
At that time, after ten or fifteen years of training, the power of the new generation could barely catch up, and there was naturally no need to worry about the problem of faults.
But now, the unexpected has happened, and it also means that his plans will be completely disrupted, and he can't help but be nervous.
There were two imperial doctors on duty waiting in the side hall, and after hearing Li Yuanji's call, they immediately rushed over, and got permission, and the two of them found a chair for Zhang Gongjin to sit down, and carefully diagnosed the pulse for a while, and the three steps were carried out in detail and thoroughly.
You must know that Zhang Gongjin is only forty-three years old now, and he is not presentable.
Of course, in history, Zhang Gongjin died young as early as the age of thirty-nine, but Li Yuanji didn't know that history can be changed, can people's life span also be changed?
The answer is, yes, it can be changed, but only part of it.
The diagnosis was not difficult, and the two imperial doctors discussed their opinions in a low voice, and soon gave a unified answer.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Dudu's symptoms are somewhat similar to those of Yiguo Gong, and his internal organs are also very weak, so he should have accumulated tuberculosis for a long time!"
"Similar to Wing Guogong? The internal organs are very weak? Li Yuanji frowned and muttered in a low voice, but his mind was quickly converting, converting the words of the imperial doctor into the words of later generations.
Qin Qiong was injured too much during the war, that is, he lost too much blood, and continued to go to the battlefield without adequate recuperation, and then kept repeating, so he fell into the root of the disease, and when he stopped fighting, when he was older, the disease also came out.
Zhang Gongjin is also a general, and injuries are also commonplace, that is to say, after losing too much blood, he did not get enough rest, and went to the battlefield without waiting for the blood lost in his body to replenish, and after the war, he traveled all over the country and worked on both military and political affairs, so he accumulated tuberculosis for a long time.
The weakness of the internal organs, which means that the performance of the organs is not as good as before, is not a good sign.
"Can it be cured?" Li Yuanji looked at the imperial doctor.
However, the two imperial doctors shook their heads and said, "This disease can only be recuperated in rest, and it can be slowly replenished through medicine and food supplements. ”
This method is also the method that Qin Qiong is using, but the effect is not very obvious, of course, the specific situation varies from person to person, some people can't use this method, and some people can.
What to do about excessive blood loss? Blood transfusion, of course?
'Smack~~~' Li Yuanji slapped his head violently and said in annoyance: "Why didn't I think of it?" ”
