Chapter 621: Autumn is coming

"Smack!!

A piece of music was slapped down on the dragon case, Lu Chengqi blew his beard a little and stared, and scolded: "It's so calculating, it's all calculated on my head!" ”

Gao Ho was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

Lu Chengqi waved his hand annoyedly and said, "You get up, it's none of your business!" Gao Ho didn't dare to ask more, so he had to get up in a daze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Lu Chengqi also stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said while pacing: "Gao Hao, I ask you, what do I do to those water thieves?" ”

Gao Hao hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty is merciful, never prosecuted him for the crime of rebellion, and even issued edicts one after another to reward his official position, which has been benevolent to the fullest." ”

Lu Chengqi shook his head and said: "I think it's because my kindness is not enough, the cottage leader over there in Juzhou actually refused to recruit An, and I have to make a holy decree to tell the whole country!" ”

Gao Hao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood: "These thieves, do you really think of yourself as a character?" Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, as soon as the forbidden army arrives, it will definitely be turned into powder! ”

"No, since they want the holy decree and want the world to know about it, then I will give it to them!" After Lu Chengqi thought about it carefully, he said slowly: "I am still willing to buy horse bones with my money." But after they recruited An, they still did evil, so it's no wonder that I don't show mercy. ”

"Your Majesty's mercy is their creation!" Gao Hao slapped a sycophant lightly, he figured out Lu Chengqi's temperament, and knew that the little emperor hated people patting his horses the most. But patting the horse's ass is a technical job, and patting the horse's leg deserves it. Lu Chengqi can't listen to too sensual sycophants, this is not light or heavy, it is still acceptable.

Lu Chengqi glanced at him meaningfully and said, "Why did you enter the palace, did any courtiers ask to see him?" ”

Gao Ho smiled and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Your Majesty, and it is true that there are ministers who have asked to meet Your Majesty." ”

"Oh, didn't you just go to the court, why don't you say something in the court?" Lu Chengqi said lightly.

Gao Ho didn't dare to accept this, but if he did, he might become a "fellow party". "Alright, who is it?"

Gao Hao dared to reply: "Your Majesty, Feng Chengping, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asks to see you." ”

"Oh, it's him! Announce his visit, he is old, and he should be tired after standing outside the hall for so long......"

"Your Majesty is so sympathetic to the minister, how can the minister not do his best for the court?" Gao Ho slapped the horse's fart again, and this time it was a slap on the horse's leg.

Lu Chengqi frowned and said, "You just need to do your part, don't say anything else." Misfortune comes from the mouth, and you should understand this. ”

Gao Ho said "yes" in a loud voice, and then slowly bowed out of the vertical arch hall. Not long after, an official wearing a second-grade official uniform, holding a court wat and looking like he had just gone down to the court, stepped into the vertical arch hall.

"Minister Feng Chengping, meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi didn't return to his seat, stood in front of the dragon case, and swept him with strange eyes: "It's Feng Qing, come here, sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Feng Chengping was not polite, he sat on the chair familiarly, two-thirds of his butt was in the air, for fear of upsetting the little emperor.

After Lu Chengqi saw him sit down, he asked slowly: "Feng Qing asked to see Yu Zhen, there must be something important. Why don't you say it in the court, but you want to see me in private? ”

Feng Chengping hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the autumn season is coming, the test questions have not yet been decided, and the minister is worried, so he can't ask to see His Majesty......"

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, quickly covered up his embarrassment, and said generously: "There have been a lot of political affairs in the past few days, and I actually forgot to determine the test questions. Feng Qing is so concerned, I am very relieved. Well, when I look for it, I don't know where to put the fold that Feng Qing presented to me some time ago. ”

Feng Chengping said in his heart: "This emperor is also confused enough, such an important matter in Qiuqiu is actually forgotten." But come to think of it, the emperor opened the autumn festival again, just to win people's hearts. As soon as the ten-grade official system came out, the world was in an uproar, and using some means to open Enke again could be regarded as compensating for the world's scholars. It's just a pity that there will be no officials in the future, and small officials can also be members of the court, which is really against the way of sages! ”

He never dared to say this in front of Lu Chengqi, his "way of sages" is completely different from Lu Chengqi's "way of sages". To put it bluntly, the "way of the sages" that Feng Chengping wanted was that a small number of people had mastered the essence of Confucianism and monopolized the imperial examinations. Lu Chengqi's aim to break this civilian-official group will naturally offend these vested interest groups, but in the long run, it will be beneficial to the country. In fact, among the small officials, there are also people with great talents, but they are limited by their backgrounds and cannot display their ambitions. However, some officials who are vegetarian in the corpse position occupy the pit and do not, do not do things for officials, but are keen on pleasure. These officials are very afraid of the ten-grade official system. Because with the introduction of the ten-grade official system, it is accompanied by a new performance evaluation system. Half of this performance inspection comes from the inspection of the officials, and the other half comes from the people's reputation collected by the local supervision departments.

If in the past, there were some acquaintances in the ministry, they could still do something, after all, this officialdom thing can not be completely eliminated by a strict crackdown. And now that it is half open, the Supervision Department is the little emperor's private intelligence station, what do the people say about this official, and will it be the turn of the officials to point fingers? Obviously not, so naturally, this undoubtedly sounded the death knell for many officials who occupy the pit and do not, and they actually feel a little panicked. When it comes to the ability to do things, these officials are not worthy of anything at all, but when it comes to corruption and bribery, drinking wine and drinking tea, these moths are proficient in everything.

With the in-depth promotion of the Shipin official system, it spread from Jingzhao Mansion all the way to the whole country, these officials almost didn't ask God to worship Buddha, and they were afraid that their bad deeds would be known by the little emperor, and they would be degraded again and again, or even directly dismissed, so they didn't know where to put their faces.

Feng Chengping naturally also received a call for help from his disciples, and he only replied with four words, "It's good to do it yourself", so he didn't dare to talk about it in detail. All discerning people know that as long as the autumn season passes and the official system of ten grades is officially implemented, the officialdom of Dashun will really undergo earth-shaking changes. This change is naturally good for the people, the officials and officials are no longer separated, and those officials who are vegetarian can only learn to do things. After the introduction of the competition mechanism, can these officials compare with the petty officials? Fortunately, the little emperor was forced to keep a hand, and if the ten-rank official did not pass the imperial examination, he still could not be promoted. But the little officials can also conduct scientific examinations, and to put it bluntly, it's almost the same.

In other words, being an official is no longer a golden job, not even an iron job. Once the ten-grade official system is implemented, being an official is a porcelain rice bowl. If you are capable, the porcelain rice bowl will get bigger and bigger; If you don't have talent, you will only talk about it and make a mess, then I'm sorry, the porcelain rice bowl is broken, you can find another way to make a living!

Why does the civilian clique hate the ten-grade bureaucracy so much? It's not that small officials can be officials, but the new performance inspection system makes them uneasy! (To be continued.) )
