Chapter 401: The Power of Appointment and Removal

"Your Majesty, the Enke that the minister said is different from usual, not only people can take the exam, as long as they are scholars, they can take the exam and select good talents for the country." Seeing Emperor Xuande's brows furrowed slightly, Li Yuntian explained in a deep voice.

Li Yuntian was born in the two rankings, so he naturally knew the thoughts of the sons of Liangguang and Yunnan, and he must have wanted to enter the important yamen experience of the major ministries and academies in the capital in order to accumulate qualifications, how could he go to Jiaozhi, who was regarded as a barbarian land, as an official?

In addition, Emperor Xuande's separate Enke for the officials of Liangguang and Yunnan is not a formal examination, and even if he passes the examination, it is not an orthodox two list of Jinshi, which is unacceptable to those who study hard in the cold window.

Besides, even if those who can't pass the two rankings of Jinshi, they will get the opportunity to serve in Liangguang and Yunnan, which is far better than going to Jiaozhi, and they will lose their lives if they can't afford it.

It is precisely because of the proximity of Liangguang and Yunnan to Jiaozhi that the people in the three places are well aware of the danger of Jiaozhi, so even if they want to participate in this Enke, they may be stopped by their families.

Since Li Yuntian proposed to open Enke in the three places, he must have already thought of a way to deal with it, and his way of dealing with it is actually very simple, that is, like the new martial arts of the martial arts hall, open the examination to all scholars, and select the best.

In Li Yuntian's view, he does not think that although those people can write good articles, they are no better than ordinary scholars who can govern the country, so he treats them equally.

As soon as these words came out, the Wenchen on the left side of the main hall was suddenly in a commotion, and almost all the Wenchen who could appear in the Taihe Hall were from the two lists of Jinshi, and naturally regarded the two lists as orthodox, and the Enke mentioned by Li Yuntian undoubtedly violated the orthodox scientific examination.

"Your Majesty, this matter has to be done, it is just an expedient measure, and after the situation in Jiaozhi is stable, officials will be selected by the Ministry of Officials to take up posts." Li Yuntian heard the sound of rustling on the left side behind him, and knew that the ministers were resistant to his suggestion, so he raised his voice and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Uncle Zhen said is feasible, and now there is a lack of officials in Jiaozhi to govern government affairs, so you might as well use this Enke to select materials to solve the urgent need."

As soon as Li Yuntian's words fell, Yang Shiqi left the queue, came to the front of the hall and said to Emperor Xuande, he knew about Li Yuntian's plan last night, and agreed with this move, thinking that Li Yuntian would definitely be able to choose a group of good officials to govern Jiaozhi and relieve the southwest border trouble of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, extraordinary things do extraordinary things, and the minister thinks that the top priority is to select officials for Jiaozhi, please ask the emperor to do this."

Immediately, Jian Yi also walked to Yang Shiqi's side, bowed down to Emperor Xuande and said that Li Yuntian's method can not only solve the problem of Jiaozhi officials, but also save the officials from a storm, and he naturally agreed.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" As Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi expressed their attitudes, cabinet members and officials of the six ministries walked out of the queue one after another and expressed their support for Li Yuntian's Enke.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Seeing this, the civil officials present bowed to Emperor Xuande one after another, agreeing with what Li Yuntian said about Enke, after all, this is a matter of Jiaozhi counterinsurgency, and they have no good way to solve the problem of Jiaozhi officials, so they can't be allowed to go to Jiaozhi to be officials!

In addition, Li Yuntian is also a Jinshi from the two lists, and he is also a Hanlin attendant, logically speaking, those civil officials are more acceptable.

"Uncle Zhenwu, I will allow you to play." Emperor Xuande saw that the ministers all agreed with Li Yuntian's approach, so he pondered for a while and said solemnly to Li Yuntian:

"Due to the remoteness of Jiaozhi, this time Enkezhen decided that you will be the main exam, and in addition, the appointment and dismissal of officials below the fifth grade in Jiaozhi will be done by you cheaply, you must not let me down, you must give me a too safe and healthy Jiaozhi!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, the selection of officials is a matter of the ministry, and the ministers have no right to interfere." Li Yuntian couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said.

The important ministers in the main hall also showed surprised expressions on their faces, no one thought that Emperor Xuande would let Li Yuntian "act cheaply" in the appointment and dismissal of officials below the fifth rank of Jiaozhi, which handed over the appointment and dismissal of those officials to Li Yuntian.

It is worth mentioning that the appointment and dismissal of officials in ancient times was not vested in the superior officials, but belonged to the officials.

This means that even if you are a provincial political envoy, you have no right to appoint or dismiss those officials in the county.

However, the higher-level officials control the annual evaluation of lower-level officials, which is the most important evidence for the promotion of officials, so lower-level officials do not dare to make mistakes.

For example, although a political envoy cannot remove an official from the ninth grade, he can write his evaluation as poor, and the ministry will demote or remove those officials who have been evaluated poorly.

In addition, higher-level officials can also check whether lower-level officials have corrupted and bent the law, and take the opportunity to find a reason to rectify them vigorously, and this happens to be the thing that lower-level officials are most afraid of.

To put it simply, although the higher-level officials do not have the power to appoint and dismiss lower-level officials, they control the fate of lower-level officials, which is the strict hierarchy in the officialdom, which is commonly known as the official level crushing people.

"What's so difficult about this, you can't be the head of the Ministry of Officials." Emperor Xuande saw Li Yuntian's refusal, knowing that what he said was also a matter, and said in a deep voice after frowning slightly.

The Ministry of Officials' Literature and Selection, and the Department of Officials is in charge of the selection and promotion of officials, and with this title, Li Yuntian has "a law to follow" for appointing and dismissing officials.

The directors of the subordinate departments of the six departments are all positive six grades, Li Yuntian's civilian official rank is the sixth grade, and he is also a Hanlin attendant, and the Hanlin attendant can be said to be the top position in the official position of the positive six grades, so it is not inappropriate for him to be the director of the Ministry of Officials.

Since Li Yuntian is the "concurrent" director of the Ministry of Officials' Wenxuan and Qing Officials, not "concurrently" or "concurrently", this shows that the director of the Ministry of Officials' Wenxuan and Qing Officials is only a fictitious position, but only shows that Li Yuntian has an identity and status, and he has no actual position in the Ministry of Officials.

When Li Yuntian heard this, a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, Emperor Xuande's idea was an excellent workaround, it seemed that Emperor Xuande had made up his mind to hand over the affairs of Jiaozhi to him, and the power to "act cheaply" was exactly what he wanted.

The reason why Emperor Xuande wanted Li Yuntian's authority was because he was disappointed in the affairs of the Ministry of Officials in Jiaozhi.

Therefore, instead of letting the people in the Ministry of Officials appoint those officials in Jiaozhi, it is better to let Li Yuntian do this, he doesn't think that those people in the Ministry of Officials are more trustworthy than Li Yuntian.

"The emperor is wise, Uncle Zhen Wubo is the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, and his writing is outstanding, and he will definitely be able to select good talents for me to govern Jiaozhi." Just when the ministers looked at each other, Jian Yi broke the calm of the scene and said loudly to Emperor Xuande.

Since Emperor Xuande has made up his mind, then Jianyi can only go with the flow, if he really provokes Emperor Xuande, he will not be able to send those officials who oppose this matter to Jiaozhi as officials, and then things will be big.

Just like Jian Yi said before, doing extraordinary things at extraordinary times, facing the current situation in Jiaozhi needs a person to go to govern, and Li Yuntian is undoubtedly an excellent candidate, so he thinks that Li Yuntian should be given a relaxed environment, so that he can show his strength in Jiaozhi.

Originally, there were several civil officials who wanted to stand up against this matter, but when they saw Jianyi's support for Emperor Xuande's approach, they immediately shrank back: even the official department Shangshu agreed, and the rest of them were qualified to make irresponsible remarks?

The rest of the civil servants also fell silent after a few glances, and no one came forward to express their dissent.

In the final analysis, the civil officials still did not regard the remote and barbaric Jiaozhi as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so the resistance to this matter was weak.

"Uncle Zhenwu, don't let me down with my hard work!" Seeing this situation, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and told Li Yuntian earnestly, he hoped that Li Yuntian could solve the matter of Jiaozhi once and for all.

"The emperor's words are kept in mind, and they must do their best, and they will die!" Li Yuntian's face turned pale when he heard this, his legs bent and knelt in front of the hall, and he replied loudly with a stern expression.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is anyone willing to go with Uncle Zhen Wu to fight the rebellion?" Emperor Xuande's face showed a hint of a smile, motioning for Li Yuntian to get up, then glanced around at the civil and military officials in the main hall, and asked in a deep voice.

Because this counterinsurgency is a matter of great importance, Emperor Xuande wanted to find a few deputies for Li Yuntian, but he didn't want to make it difficult for others, so he wanted those who were interested to recommend themselves.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to accompany Uncle Zhen Wu to quell the rebellion." As soon as Emperor Xuande's words fell, Zhang Ben, the second assistant of the military pavilion, stood up from the queue and said loudly.

When Wang Tong led the troops to quell the rebellion, the first military cabinet assistant Chen Qia accompanied the army staff on military affairs, and when Liu Sheng led the troops to quell the rebellion, the second military cabinet assistant asphalt accompanied the army staff on military affairs, so Li Yuntian counterinsurgency this time, Zhang Ben naturally also had to accompany the army to staff on military affairs.

Chen Qia and Li Qing did not end well in Jiaozhi, Chen Qia was surrounded and killed by himself, and Li Qing died of illness, and I don't know what Zhang Ben's luck was.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also willing to go with Uncle Zhen Wu to quell the rebellion." Then, a person walked out of the noble queue on the right side of the hall, bowed his hand at Emperor Xuande, and said loudly.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel curious, and they all raised their eyes, Li Yuntian was just a newly promoted earl, and a hairy boy with shallow qualifications, who of those nobles would be willing to serve under him, and what would be the face at that time?

But then everyone was relieved, because it was none other than the governor of the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor's Office, Tongzhi, and Wang Jian, the brave uncle.

The reason why Wang Jian was able to be promoted to earl was because of his military exploits when he quelled the rebellion against the Han king, and the battles he made were all commanded by Li Yuntian.

Therefore, although Wang Jian's seniority in the army is deeper than Li Yuntian's, he is behind Li Yuntai in the earl's ranking, so it is logical for him to be Li Yuntian's deputy, without the embarrassment of other nobles.

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, those who have not made military merits are not allowed to be knighted, and Wang Jian was able to enter the ranks of the earls thanks to Li Yuntian's support, and he followed Li Yuntian on the expedition this time, which was not only to repay Li Yuntian's kindness, but also to make new contributions.

If Li Yuntian can quell the rebellion in Jiaozhi, then Wang Jian believes that his military exploits are enough to go to the next level and become the marquis of the Ming Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Fu was named the Duke of England by Emperor Yongle from Xincheng Hou Jin because he quelled the rebellion in Jiaozhi that year.
