Chapter 834 Time Is Not Waiting for Me (II)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Shen Mo's impression of Zhao Zhenji was still in the ten-mile long pavilion that year. The second time he sent the old master Zhao to Shi, when he gave himself the book "Mencius".

However, after entering the cabinet this time, Zhao Lao was like two people before, and many people said that he saw that the front ranks were all juniors, and his heart was unbalanced. But Shen Mo knew that this old man was not so superficial, and the sinister attitude he deliberately showed was actually just a means. On the same day, Zhao Zhenji entered the cabinet to thank him, and Shen Mo had read it, and this old man swore that 'the border affairs of the dynasty will be abolished, and he is ready to fight for this and rectify state affairs', which is definitely not false. And the reason why he wants to rely on the old and sell the old and dictate is that he has only one purpose, that is, to establish his authority.

As the lower-ranked but oldest cabinet minister in the cabinet, if you want to wait for the top step by step, I am afraid it will not be possible until the next life. Only when it is like a war that is about to break out, people dare not provoke, and always put on the old qualifications, can they have the right to speak, which is almost the only way that this old man wants to express his voice and make some achievements in his current position.

However, it goes without saying that Zhao Zhenji has the talent to assist him, and it is true that he is enthusiastic about serving the country, but he is a person outside his sixties, and in addition to the arbitrariness in his actions, he is conservative and stable in his ideology of governing the country. In the current cabinet, he, Li Chūnfang, Chen Yiqin, and others pursued the Xujie line without Xu Jie, which has become the biggest obstacle to reform and change the law.

In order to expel Xu Jie, Shen Mo had already paid so much, and now he couldn't appreciate Zhao Zhenji's character to stop Gao Gong from attacking him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the night was decided, Gao Gong returned to the ministry the next day. This day is the 11th day of July in the second year of Longqing, which is regarded by later generations as the great reform of Longwan......

Prior to this, the focus of the work of Xu Jie and Li Chūnfang, the two chief assistants, was only on correcting the serious deviations of the Jiajing Dynasty, and although they had done some relief and mediation on the merits of society and government affairs, they never dared to touch the 'ancestors into the law' on major institutional issues, and everything was done in accordance with the old rules.

If it is replaced by Shen Mo as the first assistant, I am afraid that the result will not be too bad, at least at this stage, he doesn't think that this should be the time for him to come out. Fortunately, his greatest advantage is that he can give up the position of helmsman to a more suitable person - only those who have great courage, courage, and wisdom can do this drastic thing vigorously and resolutely, majestically and resolutely, and can open a situation of reforming the old and making new ones.

The key to success or failure lies in employing people. Therefore, rectifying personnel has become a top priority. It's really fitting for Gao Gong to do this. He can be described as a first-class official secretary, as soon as he arrived in the ministry, he immediately convened a meeting of all the officials, no greetings, no nonsense, as soon as he came up, he showed the sword in his hand.

First of all, he severely criticized the personnel performance appraisal system that has been practiced over the past 200 years, and held that only after three years can one examination be taken for three years, and only after three examinations can one be deposed, and in the past nine years, some officials have been dismissed due to death, worries, and accidents, and some have been promoted again and again because of their smooth careers. Therefore, the so-called performance appraisal has become only a rise but no fall, and it is a 'disgraceful and obsolete performance appraisal'. What is even more absurd is that whenever an inspection is conducted, the number of officials sent out is comparable, and if the number is insufficient, it must be made up, and if the number is sufficient, it will not be asked again. Gao Gong sharply questioned an official of the Ministry of Officials: "How can there be six years in the world, and there is a fixed number of unscrupulous people?" It's just someone trying to get out of the way! "It makes a cadre of officials ashamed.

But Gao Gong never gave face to the dereliction of duty, and he further pointed out: "Even those officials who are considered unscrupulous, the officials are only demanding to conceal and respond to the story; And the real great jiān great evildoer, but he didn't dare to ask and pretended not to know, and even reversed black and white, but called noble. This kind of investigation is just 'the tiger and wolf on the road, looking for the fox and squirrel to blame, and this person is not convinced! ”

In view of the above situation, he asked the officials from now on, first, they must employ people according to the matter, and cannot set up posts according to the person; Emphasizing meritocracy, discretionary use according to aptitude, and not allowing mediocre and greedy people to abuse the number and muddy officialdom; Second, it emphasizes the punishment of deposition for the crime of speech and merit, and advocates the practice of practical government and practical things with a solid heart; Third, we should not take the rank of the imperial examination as the main criterion for employing people, but make exceptions for employing people according to their performance.

For this reason, Gao Gong repeatedly strictly reaffirmed personnel discipline, such as: all officials who have been appointed but have not been appointed will be dismissed and demoted; Corrupt officials who have been verified to be substantiated are not allowed to be reinstated; For those who have been impeached by the department, they must still verify the evidence before disposing of them; redundant personnel will be cut; Those who pretend to be officials will be severely punished; Committing a crime against an official of the Ministry of Officials shall be punished by the third degree; The officials of the Ministry of Officials are required to compile the names and origins of all officials into a register, and at the same time indicate whether they are virtuous or not, so that they can be found according to the map, so that talents can be obtained as soon as they are requested, so as not to use non-human beings. Of course, the official who gives the evaluation is responsible for his own evaluation, and if he uses someone who is not human, he will be punished, etc......

Before the meeting ended, there were already mourning...... The Ministry of Officials is the most powerful and the most oily of the six ministries, and many officials of the Ministry of Officials are relying on the personnel power in their hands to favor other officials, and even to reap great benefits. But if you want to follow the high arch system, it will offend people even more than the Metropolitan Procuratorate. As soon as they thought of keeping up with the Qing Shui Ya mén who was grudging everywhere, a group of officials said in their hearts, then everyone is still hún?

So there was a Lang Zhong, pretending to be bold and asking, "Ministry, there were no such rules before." ”

Gao Gong glanced at him and said, "You're new here, right?" ”

Na Langzhong said blankly: "Yes, Xiaguan has been in the province all the time, and he was only transferred to the ministry last year." ”

"Then it's no wonder." Gao Gong stretched out his big hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "When I was still shìlang, I said a word to your predecessor, and now you listen to me, I will only say it once." ”

Na Langzhong listened attentively, and then listened to Gao Gong and said in a deep voice: "Remember, after me, there are rules!" ”

After saying that, ignoring the dumbfounded Lang Zhong, he strode out of the hall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

And the weapon in Gao Gong's hand is the official department that decides the appointment and dismissal of officials. Therefore, before rectifying the other yamén, he had to go through the officials of his headquarters.

At first, when they heard that he was going to inspect the headquarters, the officials were worried and a little lucky. The heart said, it's just three fires for the new officials to take office, can you remove all of us with a high beard, who will work for you?

However, they all underestimated the power of the high arch. After all, he has been in the ministry for many years, and he knows the affairs of the ministry well, and even the quality of many officials, he also knows it in his heart, so it only took a month to sort out the officials up and down, and sweep away those who are corrupt, mediocre, cowardly, and reluctant, accounting for one-third of the staff of the department.

Moreover, the fate of these people is not to be transferred or demoted, but to be removed from their posts on the spot, and those who violate the law are transferred to the judicial department.

Now that these officials are gone, everyone is eating at home, how can you smash people's jobs? So they joined forces to use the empty government to fight against Gao Gong in a situation of collective leave, and forced him to revoke the decision, or let the court change the Shangshu...... These blind guys can't figure out the situation, and they try in vain to oppose the authority of Gao Gong by not holding the public accountable.

On the day they agreed to be empty, the deposed officials stopped their colleagues who wanted to enter at the entrance of the government early in the morning, and said to them: "We have been dismissed, and now we are doing this so that you will be spared, if you submit to the bearded man this time, he will send you again in the future, but don't regret not being on our side this time." "Let them say this, and the rest of the officials will not be able to force their way in, so they can only stand outside the mén and wait and see.

Until the middle of the day, the Yamén was still empty......

Because he is a scholar of Wu Yingdian University and the ministry minister, Gao Gong sits in the cabinet in the morning and returns to the ministry in the afternoon. When it happened, he was attending a regular court meeting of the cabinet. It seems that in order to make him make a fool of himself, the officials who came to report did not mean to greet him first, but reported to Shoufu in public.

After learning about this, Li Chūnfang's face was a little strange, and he looked at Gao Gong and said, "Why don't you go and deal with it first." ”

Gao Gong got up with a dark face and walked out without saying a word.

Seeing him walk out, he thought about it silently, and also stood up and said, "I'll accompany Gao Ge Lao on a trip." ”

"It's okay," Li Chūn Fang said, "Gao Ge Lao is impatient, Shen Ge Lao should persuade more." ”

"Got it." Shen Mo nodded, and walked out of the hall, but he couldn't see Gao Gong's figure, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "It's really a thunderbolt." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Gao Gong appeared on the main street of the Ministry of Justice, he saw that the onlookers were already crowded, and his face couldn't help but get darker, and he ordered the guards to separate the crowd and come to the front of the Yamén.

Seeing the appearance of the ministry, the two shì langs and those who did not participate in the langzhong, the staff wailang, and the principal, all saluted solemnly.

Gao Gongli ignored them and walked up to the troublemakers. The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, seeing the god-like Hebei father appear in front of him, the momentum of those leather workers suddenly went three points, but he glared at him angrily, and he couldn't say a word of the questioning words that he had thought of.

Gao Gong glanced at them coldly, and said in a deep voice: "What are your identities, why are you wearing my Daming official uniform?" ”

He is also the best, and one sentence detonated the anger of those people, and they shouted angrily: "We are officials of the Ming Dynasty, why can't we wear the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"How can this official remember that you have all been dismissed and cut down?" Gao Gong sneered.

"We are officials of the Ming Dynasty, why do you say that you can cut it?"

"Just because I am the secretary of the ministry, I have the right to decide whether to stay or leave officials below the fifth grade!" Gao Gong said coldly: "Among you, are there any people wearing red robes?" ”

"......" The official who blocked the mén said angrily: "That's your abuse of power, and you can't do it accurately!" ”

"Abuse of power?" Gao Gong laughed and said: "Which of you dares to stand up and say that you are wronged, I can consider taking back your life!" ”

"This ......" The officials made him speechless, and a faint voice came out after a while: "Come out to be an official, which one is clean, why do you have to catch us?" ”

"It's really ridiculous in the world, do you have to eat when others eat?" Gao Gongji pointed at the official who spoke: "If you don't clean up the silverfish like you who bend the law as a common thing, heaven will not tolerate it!" ”

As he spoke, he said to the soldiers in the department, "Are you also going to fight against me?" ”

The soldiers showed hesitation, they really didn't know, who would win the final victory in this confrontation, how dare they rashly offend one side? The leader of the hundred households said: "We are a guard, how dare we get involved in the affairs between adults." ”

"Is that how you guard mén?" Gao Gong's beard was all open: "Let them block the big mén?" ”

"This ......" the hundred households knelt down and kowtowed to Gao Gong: "If someone else came to make trouble, we would have taken it a long time ago, but these are all adults in the headquarters, we will never dare to make a mistake!" ”

"Good, good ......" Gao Gong knew that the authority of his official secretary was really ridiculous, and even the soldiers guarding Mén dared to shirk to him. couldn't help but laugh angrily: "It seems that you really want to rebel......"

At this time, he heard a noise of the crowd, and saw the officers and soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division rushing in, separating the crowd in a blink of an eye, and then making way for a passage, and saw Shen Mo appear beside him accompanied by Zhou Youdao, the imperial historian who patrolled the city.

"You came just in time...... Gao Gong trembled with anger, "These hún account things are going to rebel against me." ”

"Then change some obedient soldiers." Shen Mo tilted his head to look at Zhou Youdao and said, "Lord Zhou, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Youdao said with a serious face: "It's all up to the orders of the two pavilion elders." ”

"That's good." Seeing that Shen Mo and Zhou Youdao were both looking at him, he arched highly: "May I ask Lord Zhou, what should I do if I block the Yamén without authorization and obstruct the normal office?" ”

"Returning to the old pavilion." Zhou Youdao had already received a face-to-face instruction from his top boss, and knew that this time he was here to support the high arch, so he said in a deep voice: "According to the law, it should be taken down immediately and sent to the legal department for interrogation, if there is a person who resists the law, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

"Then don't do it......" Gao Gong's eyes said coldly-

Partition -

Keep writing, send it tomorrow morning, don't wait tonight. In addition, the ensuing political struggle will not be detailed, because silence will not be directly involved.
