readx; Yan Ermei's recital, Zhu Youzhen's imperial approval, and Henan Governor Fan Jingwen's follow-up remarks were quickly whipped all the way, and they were delivered to Beijing in only one day and sent directly to the cabinet as an urgent mail. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As Zhu Youjian expected, these two twists and turns immediately caused an uproar in the DPRK and China.

As a veteran official who has experienced the ups and downs of the sea for a long time, Fan Jingwen knows better than Zhu Youzhen and Yan Ermei the shortcomings of the local government, and he lists several advantages of adding low-level officials and employees.

For example, officials at and above the county level are evaluated every three years, those with outstanding political achievements are promoted, those who are ordinary are transferred, and those who commit major mistakes are deposed. There is a popular saying among the people: the iron-clad officials of the yamen and the flowing water are talking about this phenomenon. The transfer of officials is an important part of the administration of officials, which can effectively prevent officials from being too deeply linked to local forces and reduce the opportunities for corruption.

But the officials were not. They are not in the official establishment, and there is no assessment, the magistrate has changed one stubble after another, but the officials below are thunderous, as long as there is no major incident, they can work until retirement. What's more, it is passed down from father to son, which is tantamount to firmly controlling local affairs in the hands of a few families. Because of the deep-rooted power in the local area, the prefect and the prefect have nothing to do with them, and they still have to rely on them to do everything, so corruption is rampant in the local area, and the national discipline is not open.

The addition of officials and employees and the inclusion of these people in the assessment can effectively avoid the occurrence of such a situation. Although they don't have to be as frequent as the magistrates, as long as they can get in and out, the government is no longer a pool of stagnant water and stinky water.

Moreover, Fan Jingwen also expected that many courtiers would fiercely oppose this matter, so he also made some suggestions for this, in order to make this matter as unimportant and out of place as possible, so as to reduce resistance. For example, Yan Ermei only proposed to add low-level officials, while Fan Jingwen suggested that all the additional officials should be designated as non-entry, and they should not be promoted for the time being. Whether you can be promoted in the future can be considered in the long run. As for the more important position of the six-room chief, it is recommended that the selection criteria be children or above. Moreover, whether it is an unemployed official or an employee, the salary is very low, and the number of positions is also somewhat limited.

However, even so, the two copies were strongly opposed by the courtiers. The clique of officials headed by the Donglin Party had the fiercest opposition, from the first assistant to the prisoners of Guozijian, all of whom took up the case and severely denounced Fan Jingwen and Yan Ermei for deviating from the scriptures and not following the ancestral system.

In fact, these are all pretenses, and their real thoughts lie in the fact that in their opinion, there is only one way for the country to take office, and that is the imperial examination. However, Fan Jingwen and Yan Ermei's method of selecting officials is tantamount to fundamentally shaking the imperial examination system and violating the fundamental interests of scholars, so whether it is temporary or long-term, whether it is limited to Henan or extended to the whole country, whether it is really limited to the unentered stream or whether there will be changes in the future, they absolutely cannot agree.

Besides, Fan Jingwen and others were not liked by the Donglin Party in the first place, and at this time, they were condemned by the Donglin Party, and in just half a day, the impeachment of Fan Jingwen and Yan Ermei flew to the cabinet like snowflakes. If the two of them were in the Jingshi, I am afraid that just these twists and turns and the spittle of everyone could drown them.

But not everyone is against it. The centrists, led by Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the ministry, believed that the current situation in Henan was special, and that Fan and Yan were in the situation, and they must have understood the local difficulties better than the Beijing officials, so they would make such a proposal. Moreover, what is involved is nothing more than some small officials and petty officials who have not entered the stream, which will not have a big impact on the imperial court, nor will it damage the imperial examination system. It's just that the workload of the officials' filing and assessment will increase a lot, so the specific number of official positions to be added can be discussed.

Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the household department, believes that Yan Ermei's performance is indeed the truth, but the salaries of the newly added officials and employees who have not yet entered the stream are all paid by the household department, which is a big burden, and you must know that there are still many officials and soldiers in arrears of salaries throughout the country. As for the benefits brought by the reduction of corruption, it is not yet visible, and it is an indisputable fact that there is no rice in the household department.

There are also a very small number of officials who resolutely support Fan and Yan Zuozhi, and the representative figures are cabinet ministers Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren. They don't care if the impact doesn't affect the imperial examination, anyway, they are already in high positions; As for the practical difficulties of the officials and households, they are not even in their consideration. The only thing they value is the emperor's imperial approval.

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren are both human essences among human spirits, and in the words of ordinary people, their eyelashes are empty. From Zhu Youzhen's just two sentences of imperial approval, they have already seen that the emperor is supportive of this matter. And the holy car is in Kaifeng, a new prefect in Yanermei District, how many dares can he dare to be unconventional and sensational under the nose of the Long Live Lord? Perhaps, this is from the Holy Will!

As early as when Zhu Youzhen was still a vassal king, Zhou and Wen had dealt with him. At that time, they knew that although Zhu Youzhen was young, he was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he was very insightful, only if others followed his wishes, he would never be led by others. After joining the Great Unification, he greatly strengthened the imperial power by virtue of his strong control over the army. How was Wei Zhongxian back then? The Donglin Party was about to be wiped out by the Eunuch Party, but within a few days of the emperor's accession to the throne, he eliminated Wei Zhongxian by thunderous means, and the Manchu Dynasty uprooted the henchmen. The Donglin Party can't even fight Wei Zhongxian, so why fight with the emperor?

Moreover, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren were originally quite excluded by the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party, but since they recognized the big tree of Zhu Youzhen, it can be said that they are on the rise. Now not only have they entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister, but they also have a group of like-minded henchmen. If you want to say that their ability to govern the country, not only can they not catch up with the Donglin Party, but I am afraid they can't even catch up with the Eunuch Party; But they can stand up when the emperor needs them to speak out, they will fight wherever the emperor points out, and they will unconditionally agree with whatever the emperor says, so they are also quite reused by Zhu Youzhen.

This time, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren discussed privately, and they both felt that the emperor was probably going to take advantage of the topic again to do something big, and this downwind boat must be boarded. Therefore, the two of them went their separate ways the next day, not only resolutely supporting Fan and Yan, but also going further, demanding that it be promoted nationwide as soon as possible. At the same time, he ridiculed his opponents, saying that if they had real talent and real learning, why should they be afraid that the junior officials who had not entered the stream would block their way to promotion?

The Jingshi quarreled all over the world in one day, but the post guards and stagecoaches from the Jingshi to Kaifeng were bitter, carrying bundles of twists and turns and galloping day and night. Soon, Zhu Youzhen, who was in Kaifeng, received the fold. Knowing that most of the courtiers were opposed, Zhu Youzhen also made up his mind: It's time for him to exclude public opinion!
