Chapter 193: Punishment (1st Update)

Liu Shilang's old man has been on leave for the past few days, and Xu Chen has a good time in the military department, although he has to review a large number of official documents, he is really tired and panicked.

Since Xu Chen slapped Liu Shilang in the face on the first day of his tenure, the old man has asked for leave from time to time, and the desks of the two people in the official office are facing each other, and the old man really feels that he can't get over his face.

Xu Chen saw that the old man's attitude was no longer so arrogant, so he didn't plan to see him in general, and he also understood the general process of the military department, and his workload was very large, and the documents to be signed every day were so thick.

The Tang Dynasty army was not allowed to be mobilized privately, even if more than a dozen people were transferred, they had to consult the emperor, and if they were reported to the Ministry of War for approval, they were issued a deed as a proof of troop transfer, especially the army guarding Kyoto, which was especially strict, which was of course afraid of rebellion.

At this time, the military department is officially called the military department, which was recently changed by the old emperor, but it is just a situation, Guo Ziyi's youngest son Guo Xi served as a driving member of the foreign lang recently, Xu Chen because of Li Ye's recommendation, and this person has eaten a few times, and it feels good, but his sister is a little violent.

There are not many opportunities to meet in the future, and Xu Chen is not as knowledgeable as that woman, the last time she had dinner, the girl was bent on finding her, the martial champion, and Guo Xi finally stopped her.

Guo Xi has been in the army for many years, and has also gained a lot of military merits, it is said that there is also a meritorious reputation, he entered the court to be an official this time is recommended by Guo Ziyi's friends, Guo Ziyi is now the deputy envoy of the festival, has been leading the troops outside, there is not much to do in the capital, although Guo Xi comes to the capital once a year, but there are not many people who know each other, Li also learned the news before introducing the two.

In Xu Chen's view, letting Guo Xi enter the court as an official must be Guo Ziyi's meaning, and the generals who lead the troops are far away from the court. It is obviously impossible for the DPRK and China to have no strength. Although Yang Guozhong has the power of the world, it is difficult for the generals of the border towns to have the same skills as Li Linfu, although they did not make any big moves, the generals of the border towns are also afraid of the power of this hooligan, and it is natural for the DPRK to install cronies.

Xu Chen took the list of late officials and looked at it carefully, and it happened that Tian Chengshangshu came back from the political hall at this time, his face didn't seem to be very happy, and his beard was raised. Blowing the beard and glaring.

sat down and muttered: "This Yang Guozhong is not like words!" He actually opened the government hall to his house! ”

Xu Chen was dealing with official business here, and seeing that Tian Cheng was not very happy, he asked what was going on.

Tian Cheng told Xu Chen about Yang Guozhong's official call to the officials of the Ministry of Officials in the Yang Mansion to discuss and sell officials, it turned out that Tian Cheng was waiting for the meeting in the political hall early in the morning, but after waiting for a long time, few people came, and when he asked, he found out that they all went to Yang Guozhong's house, but no one informed him.

Tian Cheng is a military general. How can he bear his temper, he scolded Yang Guozhong with a big grin, flicked his sleeves and left.

The Tang Dynasty Political Affairs Hall, this time is called the Zhongshu Gate Political Affairs Hall. It is a parliament where the prime ministers and the governors of the provinces and ministries gather together, and after the parliament is completed, they return to their respective offices, and the prime ministers usually have part-time jobs, like Yang Guozhong. is also a Chinese scholar, but Yang Guozhong's family is dominant, and this political hall has become his official office. The specific affairs of the Zhongshu Order and the Ministry of Officials have no time to care.

There are too many part-time jobs, which is a situation, and I want Li Shimin to concurrently serve as Shangshuling, but because he often leads troops to fight, Shangshu Province's position has no time to take care of it, and it slowly becomes a vacant position.

Tian Cheng was born in the army, and he had military merits, Xu Chen heard Li also accidentally say that Tian Cheng did not come to Beijing to be transferred to the military department and then promoted to prime minister, Wu Zetian often recruited the overly powerful generals of the border towns to Kyoto as prime ministers, but in the Li Linfu period, because he was extremely afraid that the border town generals would come to Beijing to grab his prime minister's position, he tried his best to promote the Hu generals, which led to An Lushan's appearance, Yang Guozhong was not so perverted, but after learning that Tian Cheng was the prince's faction, he tried his best to stop it.

Therefore, Tian Cheng has a belly of resentment towards Yang Guozhong, but the emperor is dizzy, and there is no way to favor such ministers so much, and the reason why Tian Cheng has a good impression of Xu Yuma is not because of his relationship with his son Tian Rong, but because Xu Chen and Yang Guozhong have a gap and are openly discordant.

At this time, he scolded Yang Guozhong, and he did not shy away from this military squire.

Xu Chen waited for Tian Shangshu to be angry, and then handed over the list of late officials and handling opinions to Tian Cheng to see, Tian Cheng took it and looked at it, a little surprised, the officials were used to being casual and he didn't bother to care, he didn't have a long time as Shangshu, it can be said that every official office in the Tang Dynasty was like this.

Tang law is extremely strict requirements for officials, the Tang Dynasty in the Kaiyuan period is in a new atmosphere, Li Longji is wise and mighty, the prime minister is conscientious, and it is clearly stipulated that officials who are late will have a major demerit and be punished with a cane twice, and there are also those who were caught in the prison of the criminal department because they were late too many times, and in the end they all ended up being degraded and laissez-faire. During the Tianbao period, Li San neglected the government, and the corruption of officials began to deepen, and when he came to Yang Guozhong, because this chief was inferior to Li Linfu, even the time of the previous dynasty was reduced again and again, and finally all the officials did not take it seriously as late.

Although the military department at this time because of the appearance of the festival envoy, the authority has been affected, but the affairs are really cumbersome, there is less time to work, and these officials are often late, which makes Xu Chen, the second-in-command of the military department, unbearable, he doesn't care what family background these officials have now, if you want to mix in the military department, you must first stand your authority.

Of course, this is just a small warning, because it doesn't have such a big right to dismiss people if they are late, but if they are slack in their attitude, they will only meet the boss's slippery officials, and of course Xu Chen will start.

Tian Cheng has no objection to this punishment list, Xu Chen, as a squire in the military department, is deeply favored by the old emperor, and even Yang Guifei is favored, he doesn't have to worry about Tian Shangshu's face in the military department at all, and let Tian Shangshu take a look at the list at this time, which can be regarded as giving face.

There are also some days when he works in the military department, Xu Chen is busy getting familiar with the work on weekdays, and he will also "observe words and looks" in his spare time.

At noon, a "Notice on the Handling of the Punishment of Several Officials" was posted in the lobby of the main building of the Ministry of War, and for a while all the officials came to watch, and when they saw their names appearing on it, they were all dumbfounded, and then they saw that it was Xu Shilang.

Chai Zhi, the director of the department, was directly dismissed from the office, Li Mu in the treasury department and He Qing, a member of the driving department, were exempted from half a year's salary, and the driving department was recorded once in the department......

After that, he hoped that his colleagues would have a correct attitude, and if there was a recidivism, he would be severely punished.

There was an uproar for a while, although this matter looked ridiculous, but it was by no means a joke, since Xu Shilang posted it, he would definitely carry it out, and the dignified Shilang was fully capable of making the above punishments.

For the dismissal of the head of the Ministry Division, everyone didn't care much, the eight-grade petty official, no need to report to the emperor, just need to go to the ministry to report, but this horse just because he was late to exempt several officials from half a year's salary, which is a bit exaggerated.
