Qu Ming's matter came to an end, and Nangong Yihan ordered Qu Ming and Hu Minzhi to be beheaded for public display, and their families confiscated their family property, and then exiled to work or sold into slavery.

A family has declined, and recalling that the Bai clan was also unable to fill the desire and finally embarked on the road of no return. There are many precedents, but there are still many people who go forward and try to break the law and suffer the consequences.

It was night, Chu Lixue was giving fairy tales to the two children on the side of the bed, and the two children listened to it with relish, seeing this, Nangong Yihan hooked her lips and smiled lightly: "Two babies, it's already so late and you haven't slept yet?" Hui'er, you haven't slept yet, you'll be late for school tomorrow. ”

"Father, can you tell the master? He spoke too slowly, I had already learned what he said, and I had learned everything he didn't say, even if I was late for class. Nangong Zhaohui pouted.

Hearing this, Nangong Yihan raised his eyebrows slightly, this little guy actually said that the master taught too slowly? Now in addition to Nangong Zhaohui, there are also Feng Chengyou and several other descendants of the courtiers in the palace, but none of them said that the teacher was too slow.

Isn't this little guy not good at learning, and he is afraid of being punished by himself, so he lied to himself that the master is slow? Thinking of this, Nangong Yihan sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked Nangong Zhaohui's little head and said, "Since you said that you learned quickly, how did your father take the exam?" ”

"Test me? Okay, my father is out of the question. Nangong Zhaohui said with a smile.

Looking at Nangong Zhaohui's stable appearance, Nangong Yihan was really a little incredulous, thinking that he was only five years old, even if he knew a lot, how much could he know, when he was studying, he didn't have a hard time learning the four books and five classics, but he didn't dare to say that the master was slow.

After thinking for a moment, Nangong Yihan said lightly: "Since you said what the teacher said, you have learned everything, and the deep father emperor will not test you." ”

"Father, please ask the question." Nangong Zhaohui clasped his fists with both hands.

"Kankan is a sandal, and the river is dry. The river is clear and rippling. If you don't have crops, you won't be able to harvest 300 grains? Don't hunt or hunt, Huzhan Erting has a county? Huh? He is a gentleman, not a vegetarian! Kankan is cut and spoken, and it is placed on the side of the river. The river is clear and straight. Have you learned this poem? ”

"The master hasn't talked about it yet, but the son has already learned it himself. Does the father want his son to memorize the following articles? ”

"No, my father doesn't test your later articles, nor does he test the meaning of your articles, my father only tests your views on this article." Nangong Yihan is so good that he can take a while.

Hearing this, Nangong Zhaohui did not answer immediately, pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Father, it is a very acute question for the sons and daughters to get something for nothing, even if it is the ministers of the court, such as the uncle of King Ning, as well as the kings of Dingnan and several uncles and uncles of the sons, they are all first-class talents, but they can't solve this problem, even such a holy father can't put an end to such a phenomenon, the matter of Jiangnan, the sons also heard the classmates who took the class together said in private, so, the sons think that such a thing, We can only change their minds gradually, and perhaps, we can use other ways to warn them. ”

Hearing that Nangong Zhaohui was able to say such a thing, Nangong Yihan understood that he had a successor, and it was not easy to have his own opinions from this article at a young age, and he could also associate it with other issues.

And, what did he just say? Heard my classmates mention this? So, when these officials returned home, they also told their women and children about it?

These courtiers also talk about the queen's mother Si Chen all day long, but what about them, don't they also tell the people at home about the affairs of the court? The so-called don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, but he wants to see who else dares to say that the queen mother is Si Chen.

After the two children fell asleep, Chu Lixue followed Nangong Yihan back to her room, "Lady, are you tired?" ”

Hearing Nangong Yihan ask this, Chu Lixue was very puzzled, why did she ask if she was tired? What does he want to do? Isn't it that he wants to eat supper and want to cook for himself?

"It's okay, aren't you hungry, I'll go make you some supper." After that, Chu Lixue was about to get up and go out, Nangong Yihan grabbed Chu Lixue's wrist and pulled it into his arms with a smile.

"I'm not hungry, but you, you're so busy, if you're hungry, let Wanyue go and make you something to eat." Nangong Yihan said softly.

"I'm not hungry, do you have something to say to me?" Chu Lixue was so tidy.

After many years of husband and wife, Chu Lixue naturally knows what Nangong Yihan is thinking, but she is not good at talking about this court and politics, unless Nangong Yihan personally instructed her to do it.

Moreover, even if it is her idea, it is better to continue to be the mastermind behind her, so that those courtiers will not say that they are the brainstorm.

Think about the modern society, many women can also be in the top management of enterprises, and there are even many outstanding female entrepreneurs. I don't know what those old stubborns would think if they knew that there was such a thing.

"Lady, I think the annual supervision plan now, the assessment of officials does not seem to be very ideal, I want to hear what kind of high opinion the lady has." Nangong Yihan said softly.

"Well...... do you really want to listen to my advice?" Chu Lixue said lightly.

Hearing this, Nangong Yihan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, it seems that this Chu Lixue has long had an opinion on the assessment of Beichen officials, and he really asked the right person.

"For the husband, listen to the lady's opinion." After finishing speaking, Nangong Yihan arched his hand towards Chu Lixue and said with a smile.

Immediately, Chu Lixue picked up a pen and paper and came to the table, and wrote the words Qingqing, prudence, and diligence on the paper. Nangong Yihan looked at these three words and said in his heart, then these three words are Beichen's assessment standards for officials, and they have gone through several dynasties of emperors.

This clear, cautious, and diligent as the evaluation criteria for officials in Beichen, and the method used is the four grids and eight methods, the so-called "four grids" refers to the officials' integrity, ability, government affairs, and age. Among them, the assessment of ethics is divided into three levels: clear, cautious and peaceful; The assessment of talent is divided into two grades: long and flat; The assessment of government affairs is divided into two levels: diligence and peace. The "Eight Laws" are the eight aspects in which officials are unqualified, namely: greed, coolness, imprudeness, inaction, impetuousness, lack of talent, old age, and illness. Mistakes committed by unqualified officials are punished with different measures according to different articles in the Eight Laws. In this way, although the officials can be comprehensively assessed, but the personnel of the assessment will be much more troublesome, once a year, and the officials responsible for the assessment have become the focus of everyone, if it is a clean official, then the officials who have passed his assessment will not only consume time, but also make people criticize. If it is a corrupt official, then whoever bribes more will be promoted, which goes against the original intention of the person who formulated this set of evaluation methods. ”

"Well, I also found that there are some drawbacks in this kind of assessment, you can't always let a fixed number of people evaluate officials every year, and the person in charge of the assessment has to be busy for a month each time, and it will be even harder if there are other official duties." Nangong Yihan said lightly.

"Yes, and once a year, the assessment is indeed a little longer, and the officials in charge of the assessment can only judge the information submitted by officials in various places in the past year, as for whether it is true or false, you can't see it with your own eyes, and naturally this assessment will be a little biased." Chu Lixue said lightly.

Listening to Chu Lixue look at the eloquent talk, Nangong Yihan is really glad that he has such a smart wife, many officials in Beichen have already been screened and assessed, and there are still officials like Qu Ming who have brought disaster to the country and the people. There are such officials who harm the people, and the lives of the common people can be imagined.

"So what can the lady do?"

"It's not the best way, I think that in this imperial examination, there are a lot of poor students, because they have no power and no power, they can only be some low-level officials, and many people have buried their talents because of this, so you can consider selecting some officials who are not afraid of power and have an upright personality among these officials, and then set up a general judgment position, so that they can serve together with officials from all over the country, and they are also at the same level."

"General judgment?" Nangong Yihan wondered. What kind of position is this, there can only be one official in charge of a place, and if there are two, how to deal with them if there is a disagreement?

With a puzzled look, Nangong Yihan looked at Chu Lixue again, seeing this, Chu Lixue tilted her head, showed a sweet smile and continued: "The position of general judgment can be said to be sent by the emperor to supervise the work of local officials, and the officials in this position have the power to directly send the music to the emperor without going through the imperial history platform, so that some officials can be exempted from fraud." In this way, the emperor can know at any time the moral integrity of local officials and whether they are upright officials. ”

After listening to Chu Lixue's explanation, Nangong Yihan suddenly became enlightened, indeed, if the court and the central government set up a position of general judge, it can indeed assist the emperor to supervise the virtue of officials, but if two people are in the same state and county, how can they issue a decree, then which decree will the people listen to?

I'm afraid he will have to discuss it with the ministers of the court, if he talks with Chu Lixue again, then he doesn't have to sleep, just after the third watch, if he doesn't let Chu Lixue sleep enough, how can he accompany the two little guys tomorrow? It's really hard to see her accompany the child all day long, and in a few days, it will be Chu Lixue's birthday, he has to plan well and give her an unforgettable birthday.
