Volume 12 A Thousand Autumns Require a Hundred Battles Chapter 1159 The Imperial Bureau
In the afternoon of this day, the Dingjun Marquis Mansion chose to close the door to thank the guests.
The owner of the Dingjun Marquis was in the flower hall of the back house, talking with several staff, and talked about a lot of things, such as the current government affairs, the appointment and dismissal of previous official positions, how the political situation in the DPRK and China has changed, and what kind of tendencies some important ministers of the court have, etc.
It doesn't seem to have much focus, but this is the first time that Zhao Shishi cares so much about the political affairs of the court, and several staff members have already cheered up as they talked.
Zhao Shi listened carefully, but gradually spoke less, because Chen Changshou and Nan Eighteen had unique opinions on the personnel and political situation of the imperial court, and most of them did not need him to comment on anything.
When it was almost evening, Sun Wentong also came here, and the four staff members of the Dingjun Marquis Mansion gathered here, because of their different backgrounds and opinions, there were more times for arguments.
However, after saying a lot, Zhao Shi still understood that after some turmoil, the government is now gradually stabilizing.
However, there are many vacancies in the court nowadays, and there are many reasons for this, the most important of which are three.
One is still a few years ago in the Chang'an Rebellion, the aftermath has not yet been appeased, many people have been raided or questioned, or exiled, it is inevitable that the party will fight against different things, and many innocent people have also been involved in the 66 continuation, in the past few years, most of the disputes have originated from this.
And because of the affairs of the Wang family, Dali Temple and Ducha Yuan were the most severely injured, and the rest such as Guozijian, Hanlin Academy, and the Six Divisions, but after a struggle and compromise, under the pressure of Emperor Chengwu, it was quickly smoothed down.
But there are too many vacancies in Dali Temple and Ducha Yuan. Many people have been convicted of Wang's involvement. There are quite a few people staring at those positions. But with that qualification, there are not many people who sit on it.
In this way, until now, there are still many vacant positions in the two places, and in recent years, a large area of territory has been placed under the jurisdiction of Great Qin, which makes these two places even more stretched. The dilemma can also be seen that the impact of the Chang'an Rebellion on the court situation is far from being calmed down.
This makes Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and even the Yushitai have unspeakable embarrassment.
However, Nan Eighteen and Chen Changshou also said that there have been rumors recently that Zhongshu intends to abolish the inspection of the imperial history and replace it with an inspector. According to the inspectorate, it is subordinate to the Metropolitan Inspectorate, which is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Historical Observatory. In this way, the manpower is actually streamlined.
In the view of Nan 18 and Chen Changshou, this is good governance, which can save the national treasury and expenditure, and is conducive to the delivery of the lower situation, so as to avoid multiple political departments and redundant procrastination.
However, Sun Wentong believes that in this way, according to the inspection envoys, they must be placed above the local officials, and the imperial history platform will supervise the government and inspect hundreds of officials, and if there is no one to check and balance, it will inevitably be involved in the government affairs in the future and interfere in local government affairs indiscriminately, and the responsibility of supervision will be abandoned, which may not be the blessing of the imperial court.
Several people argued a lot on this matter.
Zhao Shi is more inclined to what Sun Wentong said, the lack of supervision system, since ancient times, has been a chronic disease of all dynasties, in fact, no matter how it changes, using officials to supervise officials is very unreliable, and after a long time, it will inevitably emit a disgusting rancid smell.
The biggest reason why Sun Wentong was at a disadvantage in the debate was that he knew the loopholes, but he didn't know how to plug them.
Since ancient times, the system of the dynasties has actually tended to be perfect, even if it is Jingxing Dingge, it is not all demolished and rebuilt, it is more like checking and filling in the gaps, a Tang law, almost all aspects have been covered, the current Qin law, most of them are based on the above, and what is done now is just to remove those things that are out of date.
Again, what can make a big article is still in taxes, and as for other aspects, the changes are actually not big.
Zhao Shi doesn't have any opinion on this, but he knows that even if it has been a few hundred years, the supervision system is still like that, in contrast, the official ethics of this era are still reassuring, they may look a little pedantic, some stubborn, but these literati that Zhao Shi came into contact with are more or less morally clean, and their ultimate goal may not be to help the world and the people, and help the world, but they all want to leave their names and surnames in the annals of history, in other words, most of their ** will not fall on the corruption and perversion of the law, that is to disgrace the ancestors.
It's a bit far away, back to the point.
The second reason is that the courtiers of the Jingxing Dynasty are getting old, compared with the generals in the army, the replacement of the old and the new in the court is much more difficult.
The privy envoy Wang Daocun is old, but there is no conclusion about the person who can take over this position, unless several generals return to the court, otherwise, from the perspective of the court, except for Li Chengqian, the secretary of the military department, there is really no too suitable candidate, but Li Chengqian's age is not small.
Similarly, Li Pu is also getting old, but the people who fight for this seat don't have to worry, in the Chinese book, everyone is staring, don't worry too much, after Li Pu goes, no one cares about this seat, of course, this seat wants to sit on it, it's not so easy.
The civil and military assistants are all in such a situation, it can be seen that the vacancy of the central position in the court is not just because of the Chang'an Rebellion, and the Wang clan has left the tail.
Of course, there is a third reason, because after a new round of expansion in Daqin, the lack of talents is further aggravated, and there are many vacancies in the court and more vacancies in the local government.
A large number of officials, into Heluo, Hezhong, Hedong and other places, but this further exacerbated the aging trend of court officials, young people, always prefer to go to the local office, by the way to earn qualifications, political achievements, whether the son of a family, or a poor scholar, is a general idea, and the court here, is also very happy to see it, according to the rules of the Great Qin officialdom, young people should go to the local experience more, but now, it has become a trend in the appointment and removal of officials in the Great Qin, so that the important ministers of the court feel extremely embarrassed......
Of course, under such a situation, it has also brought many changes to the appointment and dismissal of officials, and the system of recommendation has been mentioned again and quickly put into practice.
In the annual examination of officials, as long as they are excellent, most of them are promoted almost immediately. No longer stick to the rules of the three-year exam.
As long as you have talent. It doesn't take long for you to stand out. Soon, it is almost foreseeable that there will be more new faces in the various ministries in Beijing, who are young, energetic and ambitious.
In fact, such clues have already appeared, not to mention that the young officials who have come out of the national military supervision are occupying more and more positions of low-level officials, and they are no longer restricted to the military. Rather, it is spreading to the government and the opposition.
It is said that there are also some changes in the various ministries of the imperial court, among which, it is worth mentioning that the officials of Shuzhong, after these years, the officials of the Shu people began to gradually appear in the court.
Most of them were literati, and compared with the Qin people, they were more introverted, paying attention to the way of respecting and retreating, and their articles were gorgeous. In addition to government affairs, he also has many unique views.
First of all, most of them worked in the Hanlin Academy. Places such as the Guozijian were later extended to the various ministries, and they were usually modest and polite, but once they had their own political opinions, they were extremely stubborn.
What makes it even more difficult for the Qin people to adapt is that these guys are easy to speak and are good at court politics, which shows their unique way of being officials, while the Shu officials, in terms of governance, are more meticulous and gentler than the Qin people.
Here, it is worth mentioning that the Shen family in Shuzhong.
Hanlin bachelor, Shen He, the word Fangzhou, Shuzhong Chengdu Furenshi, Xianning two years of Jinshi, released Lizhou Luhuai County Zhi County, more than two years, recommended by Lizhou Lufu Qi Ziping, returned to Beijing to serve in the household department, the following year, because of the beautiful article, transferred to the Hanlin Academy, as a bachelor of Hanlin.
compiled historical books, and later succeeded Li Shifang, taking the responsibility of undertaking the will, and concurrently serving as the subordinate of the East Palace.
At this point, Shen He gained a firm foothold in the Great Qin Dynasty, and then, Chengdu Shen 6 continued to have people in Beijing to serve, most of them in the Hanlin Academy, and his brother Shen Bai was a professor because of the article.
In the last years of Emperor Jing, Shen Cairen, who was shocked by Chang'an, was from his clan, and after the Chang'an Rebellion, most people thought that Shen He and others would be abandoned by Xindian.
Who knows, since Emperor Chengwu ascended the throne, the people of the Shen family have been safe and sound, and they have been hidden by the Shu people, and at this time, the Su family, the big clan in Shu, has also eased up, and began to have 6 children from Qin, but compared to the Shen family, it is already too late, not one step or two.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Shi led his troops to level Shu, the killing was too heavy, so that the big clans in Shu were hit hard, otherwise, the Shu people who are now officials in the dynasty are definitely more than these.
Zhao Shi didn't think about this, he just knew that compared with before the army, the political situation in Beijing was also changing with each passing day, looking stable, in fact, it was also the coexistence of opportunities and risks, which was destined to be a situation where talents were born in large numbers.
Perhaps, when the next conquest returns, the court will have a new atmosphere.
Speaking of Shen He, Zhao Shi finally asked why Li Shifang didn't move.
Several staff members laughed when they heard this, and when they saw that Zhao Shi was puzzled, Nan Eighteen explained here that Li Shifang didn't want to come over, but that he was a guest a few days ago, and he was infected with the wind and cold, so it was not easy to come out and walk around.
When Zhao Shi heard this, he didn't understand even more, why the guest was still connected with Feng Han.
When Nan Eighteen Yi explained, Zhao Shi was also amused, it turned out that this Lord Li was proud of the spring breeze, and several of his proud protégés returned to Beijing to report on their work, and the banquet was held for him, and the place where the banquet was set up was on the side of Caiyufang.
Now Li Shifang is also an important minister of the court, with a high and powerful position, and it is not good to go over blatantly, if you want to say, it is also possible to get a small sedan chair, but this literati has a temperament, so he has to go on foot in civilian clothes.
With a few servants, came to Caiyufang, passed by a small building, listened to the sound of the piano upstairs, and stopped to listen unconsciously, but well, a basin of cold water poured down from the upper floor, and poured it into a soup chicken.
On a cold day, where can I stand it after this, even if I lie down.
If this is the case, it will not spread out, and the people around him are not sensible, and they rushed up to the building to reason with others, and they were in a hurry, and they also missed Li Shifang's identity.
The owner of the building was taken aback, and there was no need to mention the compensation, but the story of Li Shifang visiting the Qinglou and drinking the footwashing water of others was also spread all over the Beijing Division, and it was a bad wolf.
Of course, now he is favored by the emperor and has a good relationship with the general Zhao Shi, his position is extremely stable, and in the court, most of them are regarded as a joke, or it can be said that it is a good story to spread, but to be honest, whether it is a joke or a good story, this reputation is really not good.
Therefore, Li Shifang took the opportunity to recuperate, but in fact, his face was a mess, and he was embarrassed in the house......
