Chapter 174 Candidates

Before going south to Fujian Road, I didn't think about how to deal with these local officials, I knew that the officialdom everywhere was the same [***] darkness, which was a common problem in any dynasty to the end of the period, but I didn't dare to wipe them out, although this big family has been decayed, but after all, it is a big business, and there are Mongols watching from the side, I can only take a peaceful way of gradually approaching.

The establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption may be a good way to do it, at least for now, I can't think of a better way.

Despite Chen Xinshu's determination, I still can't be sure what will happen to him in the future, at least I gave him a chance, which is equivalent to giving myself a chance. I firmly believe that in a feudal society, the monarch can be modest, the ministers will be self-disciplined, and the people can live in peace. This southward trip, in addition to finding the heirs of Gao Shang, I also got Huang Daopo, a folk textile expert, even if Chen Xinshu died without repentance, I could be regarded as having gained.

A few days later, in the evening, the outline of Lin'an City has faintly appeared in front of our eyes.

"I'm going home soon, so I can get a good night's sleep tonight." Wen Zhang said happily.

"That's it, Xiao Wenzhang's words are beautiful, my sister likes it, it's really hard to travel for a few days in a row."

"Hehe, I'm really tired, let's all have a good rest tonight." With a slight grip between my legs, I rushed forward first.

Fang Ling and the others can naturally have a good rest, but I still have to face a lot of twists and turns, it seems that the profession of the emperor is really not ordinary tired. When I returned to the palace and had a quick bite to eat, I plunged headlong into the imperial study. While reviewing the folds, I enjoyed the massage of Quan Jiu.

"Official, it's better to rest for one night before giving instructions when you come back." Quan Jiu persuaded distressedly.

"Jiu'er, I'm fine, I'll approve the urgent folds first, by the way, are there any major events in these courts? Tell me about it. ”

"The queen mother is monitoring in the court, everything is normal."

"What's going on with that Jia Rudao?"

"Official, except for being a little absent-minded, Jia seems to be as usual in other aspects."

"Absent-minded?"

Of course I don't know, Jia Rudao is still worried about Hao Jing's escape to the north, for fear that the Mongols will spread this matter to me, which is a crime of bullying the king, although it is the first emperor to be bullied, it is also a great rebellion, and the crime is unforgivable.

People have greed and laziness, which is inherent in human surnames.

When I come back from going out and lie in my familiar bed, I feel that this is the most accustomed and comfortable place for me. As before, whenever I come back from a business trip, I feel that my small bed is the most warm.

I slept until noon, and then I slouched up.

When Quan Jiu saw me get up, he said, "Official, the three lecturers of the Chongzheng Palace are already waiting outside the palace. ”

I remember that last night I asked Xiao Qi to inform Chongzheng Hall to come to the imperial study after noon to discuss matters, but I didn't think of Zhao Shunsun, the new lecturer: "Jiu'er, aren't there only two Wen Lu who lecture in Chongzheng Palace?" ”

"The official family forgot, before the official family went south, he once crowned Zhao Shunsun to give a lecture for the Chongzheng Palace, replacing Lord He's position."

"Oh, I did't forget, Little Seven."

"Official, the little one is here."

"Announce them to the imperial study, and I will go first."

I found out Zhao Shunsun's copywriting information and looked at it, Zhao Shunsun, the 11th grandson of the founding prime minister Zhao Pu, and Zhu Xi's disciple. At the age of 8, he was able to recite the "Nine Classics", and the imperial court gave him the birth of a boy, and he wrote about 700,000 words of "The Four Books of the Compilation" in the reign of Emperor Lizong (1253-1258).

Later dynasties and dynasties have a very high evaluation of the "Four Books Compilation", the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have been reprinted, and in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong used it as the "Imperial Review" book.

I looked at Zhao Shunsun carefully in the imperial study, this Zhao Shunsun was exactly fifty years old, his appearance was not good, and compared with Wen Tianxiang, who was Xuanyu, he even looked a little ugly.

"Minister Zhao Shunsun see my emperor, long live, long live."

"Aiqing is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Zhao Aiqing, this is my imperial study, so I don't have to make a big gift in the future."

"Obey."

"Sit down, Zhao Aiqing, you can ask Song Rui afterwards, Junshi, I don't like those cumbersome etiquette."

Zhao Shunsun still said politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the seat." ”

I smiled and said, "Zhao Aiqing, don't be formal." The three of you, I have called you here today to discuss with you about the Office of the Ombudsman and the selection of candidates. ”

When Zhao Shunsun heard the name of the Supervision Office for the first time, he had the same reaction as Chen Xinshu and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the Supervision Office?" ”

"To put it simply, the Office of the Ombudsman is to expand the supervision of the Imperial Historical Observatory of the DPRK and China to the localities, but it is not subject to any departmental constraints, and it is a department that reads the power of the ministries and is only responsible to me."

I said it very simply, because Zhao Shunsun, as a superintendent of the imperial history, has a far deeper understanding of the supervisory function than Chen Xinshu.

"Your Majesty, is it taking Fujian Road as a pilot?" Wen Tianxiang asked.

"Yes, that's good. Our territory is vast, and the border land has been at war for many years, so I plan to start the trial with the Fujian Road in the interior, so that we can accumulate some experience, and second, we can train a group of personnel, and when the other roads set up supervision offices, we will be familiar with the road. ”

Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty talked about the issue of candidates, and the minister believes that since this Supervision Office is good at reading various departments, the candidates among them cannot be transferred from the original officials, so as not to be mixed up in one place. ”

Zhao Shunsun thought for a while and said, "Well, Your Majesty, Lord Lu is right, and the minister thinks that he can choose from the new branch red list jinshi." ”

"New Red List?" I immediately thought that in the early days of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, many of the people were recent university graduates, and the campus was a relatively little polluted place.

I nodded and said: "Zhao Aiqing, the proposal is very good, these people who have just passed the imperial examination have not yet integrated into the big dye vat of officialdom, and when they enter the officialdom, most of them have a positive attitude, as long as they are correctly guided, they are completely suitable for this matter." ”

Wasn't Chen Xinshu also enthusiastic when he first entered the officialdom?

Wen Tianxiang also said: "Your Majesty, the number of people on the red list of the imperial examination is too small, and it is once every three years, can we refer to Lin'an University to establish a university dedicated to training personnel for the Supervision Office?" In the future, the main members of the various supervision offices can be appointed by the imperial court, and there is no need to be recruited by the local government. ”

"Of course, about the imperial examination, I have been thinking for a long time, and I plan to slowly change the current examination method, and in the next step, I will set up a Ministry of Education, which will be responsible for the education of our dynasty, and I will establish an education mechanism for primary schools, middle schools, and universities, so that my people in the Song Dynasty can enter the school to study from an early age.

"Everybody's literate?" Zhao Shunsun secretly exclaimed, "Is this possible?" ”

"That's right, it's about making everyone literate. This is also a long-term plan of mine. ”

I looked at the three lecturers who were all surprised, and continued: "This matter will be discussed slowly. Admissions to universities can be conducted every year, which can shorten the time for the imperial examination to be held every three years. Do you have any candidates for the Ombudsman Office on Fujian Road this time? Choosing the leader first is half the battle. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty has already chosen someone in his heart, and the ministers are ignorant, and they can't think of a suitable person for a while." ”

This Wen Tianxiang has also learned to slip his head.

For the Xianchun Xinke Red List, what impressed me the most was Zan Wanshou and Chen Wenlong, Zan Wanshou had gone to Sichuan, so there was only Chen Wenlong.

Judging from the records of later generations, Chen Wenlong hated officialdom phenomena such as tending to be inflammatory, giving and accepting bribes, etc. When he was a local official, Chen Wenlong vigorously and resolutely eliminated political malpractices, enforced the law impartially, was jealous of evil, cared about the people's suffering, and had an outstanding political reputation and "everyone feared him". Besides, Chen Wenlong is not afraid of politics and is honest and outspoken, aren't these advantages just suitable for supervising hundreds of officials?

"Chen Wenlong."
