Chapter 181: A Son of Heaven and a Courtier
After the court, the hundred officials spontaneously formed several small circles and discussed in a low voice. www.biquge.info There are not many friends with Li Jie, the newly promoted Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Li Jie, only the officials who were about to be imprisoned came to congratulate them, and these people are not sincere, but they have taken a fancy to the official position of the supervisor. This is the building of the palace of the chief steward, and the making of gold and jade, rhino horn and ivory, the making of utensils, the embroidery of lesatin, and the use of all kinds of rare utensils are good errands, but in the past, this is a fat and oily official position. As long as the number is better, and some oil is rubbed from it, I don't know how much I can fish.
Fortunately, Lu Chengqi ordered to adopt a new bookkeeping method, which eliminated a lot of greedy ink from the source. But the Chinese are too smart, the so-called Tao is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, and no matter how good the method is, it will give people a loophole. What is really useful is strong supervision and unrelenting punishment, and this is what works.
But these young eunuchs, eunuchs, and chief bookkeepers who will be superintendents are all staring at the vacant positions in their eyes, and as soon as Li Jie leaves office, it is equivalent to replacing the superintendent with a supreme officer. If they do, they will be prisoners, and these people will be content. What they thought in their hearts was just that the little emperor was just strict with corrupt officials for a while, how could he be so strict every year? If you get some precious utensils out in the loose years, won't your descendants be of infinite use?
There is a way that is a sake red face, money and silk are moving, these people only have promotion and wealth in their eyes, which is in response to the sentence "people die for money, birds die for food"!
Li Jie responded to these people's congratulations with some shouts, and those people were even more envious and jealous, and said in his heart: "This wood, luck is also good, if it is not a pretense of gesture, it is really the ancestral tomb that is smoking." Although there were 12 ministers of Ganluo in ancient times, but in Dashun, he was promoted so quickly, and he won the holy favor of the two emperors. The same person has a different life, the same umbrella has a different handle, why don't you have this luck...... "These people don't want to think about their own ability, are they as powerful as Li Jie?"
Li Jie finally dealt with these people, and after walking out of the Daqing Gate, he found a person standing in front of the Daqing Gate. Take a closer look, isn't this Xu Chongguang who was in the Daqing Hall just now and didn't say a word! I only heard Xu Chongguang smile on his face, and said softly to Li Jie: "Li Jie, you are now a book, congratulations!" ”
Li Jie's temperament is still very respectful of the teacher, and he immediately said: "The students all know in their hearts that this is the teacher's promotion ......" Li Jie is not stupid, otherwise he would not be so knowledgeable. These curved paths, he only had to think about them to figure out the joints.
Xu Chongguang secretly sighed that it was easy to talk to a smart person, and immediately walked side by side with Li Jie, and then said slowly: "Li Jie, you just need to understand that this official is working hard." Originally, this position is definitely not yours, Tang Xun, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is the first candidate, do you know what it means? ”
Li Jie carefully recalled the secret battle in the Daqing Hall just now, and his heart lit up: "Teacher, you mean ......?"
Xu Chongguang motioned for him to be silenced, and said in a low voice: "It's good that you understand, Tang Xun is His Majesty's person, and of course His Majesty is the one who wants to correct himself." But he wanted to send troops to suppress the bandits, and he asked for the official, and the official naturally wanted to fight for something for the students. Li Jie, you have to remember that everything this official does is for your good. ”
Li Jie is not stupid, he knows what Xu Chongguang said behind him, that is, he wants him to listen to Xu Chongguang's arrangement and advance and retreat with him. But the way of a gentleman in his heart warned him to abide by his original heart, never forget his original intention, uphold morality, and fell into a dilemma for a while.
Xu Chongguang saw that he was silent, thinking that he had agreed. In fact, Xu Chongguang really knows very little about this student, Li Jie is a taciturn person, but it does not mean that he has no opinions. Otherwise, Xu Chongguang would not think that he was disobedient, and the "golden mean" that Li Jie's heart adhered to was always vigilant to him and to keep his heart.
Xu Chongguang said again: "Once the son of heaven and a courtier, this was the case with Taishi Yang before. Li Jie, Your Majesty Mo Dao really took a fancy to your talents, and Your Majesty's city is deep! If it weren't for this matter, His Majesty would definitely let Tang Xun ascend to the throne. You remember, this Ministry of Industry is your stepping stone to the cabinet, if you want to really do something for the people, then do it......"
Xu Chongguang's words, the front half is true, and the back half is also true, but when mixed together, the taste seems weird. Under whom do something for the people? Do you listen to Lu Chengqi's words, or listen to his Xu Chongguang's words?
Li Jie is an honest person, and he never thinks deeply about other people's words, thinking that Xu Chongguang literally means that he wants him to work hard and make some achievements for the people. He already has a wide range of interests, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu happens to match his interests, where can he not care? Immediately agreed, Xu Chongguang thought that he understood what he meant, and said: "The son can be taught!" ”
As everyone knows, Li Jie is really serious, and he is working hard to make some achievements in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. And he has a lot of directions to choose from, such as various major national projects, craftsman skills, tuntian affairs, water conservancy and irrigation, transportation roads, and river water control. The stage where he was to be imprisoned was so small that everyone thought that he would only build gardens. In fact, Li Jie's erudition, the garden is only one of them.
After Li Jie sent Xu Chongguang to the Wende Palace, he went straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to report. As soon as the front foot arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, the small yellow door on the back foot arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry with the official uniform, official boots and a holy will. After setting up the incense case and washing his hands, Li Jie knelt on the ground and bowed his head to listen to the order.
At this time, people generally do not kneel, but only when they confess their sins and are rewarded, or when they worship their ancestors.
I only listened to Xiao Huangmen read out the will and said: "The system said: Since the appointment of the superintendent Li Jie, he has been loyal to his duties and has made meritorious contributions to repairing gardens everywhere, and his architectural skills are unparalleled in the world." He was immediately promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and after he took office, he made meritorious achievements. June 13 of the third year of Hongxiang"
After Xiao Huangmen read out the will written by Lu Chengqi himself, he handed the holy decree to Li Jie. Only then did Li Jie thank the emperor and get up. Then the chamberlain behind him handed Li Jie's official uniform, belt, and official boots, and Li Jie's official was not the first time he had been official, and after taking it with both hands, he thanked him repeatedly.
At this time, because Tang Xun, the squire of the Ministry of Industry, was still at Royal University, the highest official of the Ministry of Industry was only Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry, and he was a six-rank official. Above the seven grades, they can go to the court, so they have already gotten the news and go to the yamen to greet the latest chief one step earlier.
Li Jie is a person who does practical things, and when Xiao Huangmen turned around and went to report to Lu Chengqi, Li Jie had already begun to arrange work. In fact, the work of the Ministry of Works and the supervisor is similar, both of the same nature, except that the supervisor manages the construction and manufacture of artifacts such as royal buildings, and the Ministry of Works is responsible for the manufacture of artifacts outside the royal family.
The officials of the Ministry of Industry muttered in their hearts one by one, thinking that this new Ministry of Industry Shangshu wanted to come to a dismount, and the so-called new officials took office with three fires. But they didn't know that Li Jie's style had always been like this, he was accustomed to the gentle Huang Xi's way of doing things, and Li Jie's strict requirements, and these officials of the Ministry of Industry began to secretly complain.
As everyone knows, once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is also applicable to a yamen to replace the highest official. The officials and officials of Dashun are very separated, and if they are small officials, they are not allowed to take the imperial examination. Once the supreme commander is replaced, if he sees a minor official who is not pleasing to the eye, he can be removed and replaced at any time. But generally don't do this, after all, many of the officials in Dashun don't have real materials, if you replace the small officials who can do things, who will handle the affairs of the yamen?
It's a pity that Lu Chengqi didn't know about this drawback, otherwise he would have started to rectify it a long time ago. Officials and officials have been contradictory since ancient times. It can be said that a high-ranking official who is full of wealth and does not know how to do things; A small official who can do things, he reads few books. Society is like this, if you don't have the ability to goods and the emperor's family, then you have to be a small official...... (To be continued.) )
