Li Yuanzhong, Gao Longzhi, and Sima Ziru are in high positions among the officials, for them, ability is only secondary, and Gao Huan's trust is the key.

Therefore, when the Gao family father and son tried to abolish the old practice of selecting people by seniority, as the heads of the civil servants in the court other than Gao Cheng, the three people who should have led the civil official group to resist immediately followed up and assisted Gao Cheng in reconstructing a new official promotion system.

In the face of power, interests must also be subjugated.

If Cui Guang had a powerful figure like Gao Huan in that era, who could rely on the military power in his hands to overwhelm all the dissatisfaction in the court, there would have been no suspension of the year.

But at that time, it was the Empress Dowager Hu who was obsessed with Buddhism, she had no ability or courage to suppress the gate valve, and the Empress Dowager Hu was drowned by Er Zhurong, and the Erzhu clan emphasized military affairs over politics.

On October 26, Gao Cheng, Li Yuanzhong, Gao Longzhi, Sima Ziru and Cao Langzhong Cui Xian jointly played to the Son of Heaven, Chen talked about the harm of the old system of stopping the year.

The public seal of the Gao family's father and son, Yuan Shanjian, ordered that Gao Cheng come up with a set of effective systems to replace the suspension of the year.

Although the rumors have been heard for a long time, but on this day, the civil officials in Luoyang are all dissatisfied and complaining.

I worked hard to get to today's official position, but I suddenly changed the gameplay, I don't fight for seniority, I fight for political achievements, who can stand this.

And the young handsome men recruited by Gao Cheng Hebei and his party also gave Gao Cheng the confidence to deal with the complaints of civil officials.

This is also the characteristic of Gao Cheng's actions, everything must be thoughtful.

It is necessary to check the hidden households first, and at the same time go to Hebei, so that the scholars take the initiative to stuff people around them, and then start to abolish the suspension of the year.

is afraid that the group of civil officials will be ruined, although it is said that the most important thing in the world is to be officials, but it is not that they are willing to be officials and have the ability to become officials.

And these scholars are all talented people, maybe some of them are not capable of governing one side, but they are still competent to handle some government affairs.

On October 27, Gao Cheng summoned Li Yuanzhong, Gao Longzhi, Sima Ziru, Cui Xian, and many other aides to discuss a new system for the promotion of officials.

During this period, there were some disputes, mainly focusing on whether to only pay attention to political achievements or to pay equal attention to talent and morality.

For example, Sima Ziru, Cui Jishu, Cui Ang, Wei Shui and others insisted on focusing only on political achievements, and used Cao Cao's meritocracy as an example to show that in troubled times, officials who can govern places well and appease the people should be important.

And Li Yuanzhong, Gao Longzhi, Cui Xian, Zhao Yanshen and others insist on paying equal attention to ability and political integrity. And the example of Cao Wei is ironic, saying that it was Cao Cao who took people without asking about virtue and let the disloyal and unfilial people flood the court, which led to the disaster of Sima usurping Wei later.

The two sides argued, but Gao Cheng could see it clearly.

Supporting those who value both ability and integrity may be motivated by public interest.

However, those who insist on only asking about political achievements and do not pay attention to virtue have hidden selfish intentions, and these people have accepted bribes.

That's right, boxing champion Xiao Cui is corrupt.

This is also Gao Cheng's biggest headache, his cronies are not incorruptible, but there are also corrupt people.

really wants to dispose of Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu, Gao Cheng is unwilling.

Gao Cheng also thought about giving him money and money to support his integrity as he did with Zhang Dexing, but he hesitated when he recalled a conversation between Chen Yuankang and the original owner.

In history, Gao Huan confessed on his deathbed that he left Murong Shaozong to Gao Cheng and fought Hou Jing, but Xiao Gao had his own ideas, and he sent Gao Yue to go on an expedition and was defeated by Hou Jing.

In fact, it is also understandable that the original owner has nothing to do with Murong Shaozong, and Murong Shaozong and Hou Jing have teachers and students, how dare he rashly hand over the army.

It was under the background of the original owner's suspicion of Murong Shaozong that Chen Yuankang accepted a bribe from Murong Shaozong, appeased Murong Shaozong, and used this as a reason to guarantee Murong Shaozong's loyalty, which led to Murong Shaozong's merit in quelling Hou Jing's rebellion.

Just imagine, if Chen Yuankang was unwilling to accept Murong Shaozong's bribes at that time, in Murong Shaozong's opinion, would this be a sign that Gao Cheng was going to attack him.

Some things just seem so ridiculous.

Gao Cheng put his mind back on the promotion standards of officials, and in the face of everyone's eyes, he pondered again and again, and finally spoke:

"Private virtue is naturally important, but sticking to virtue hinders the ability of great talents, makes them depressed, and turns to Kansai or Xiaoliang, which is very harmful.

"I have made up my mind, at extraordinary times, do extraordinary things, officials are promoted without paying attention to personal morality, focusing on political achievements, as long as they can make one side of the people live in peace, even if they are not filial to their sons, I am willing to promote."

As soon as these words came out, Sima Ziru and others were naturally overjoyed when they received Gao Cheng's support.

When Li Yuanzhong and others heard about the extraordinary, they did extraordinary things, understood that there could be more changes in the future, and they no longer objected.

As a traverser, Gao Cheng certainly knew that Zhang Yuan was deposed during the palace examination, and was determined to rebel against the Song Dynasty and join the Xia, become the minister of the Western Xia, and was determined to destroy the Song Dynasty all his life.

Now that the three-legged stand is standing, not by talent, but by virtue, it is really necessary to make a senior Zhang Yuan, and it is too late to regret it.

Establishing a criterion for the promotion of officials based only on their performance does not mean that they are allowed to be corrupt.

For Gao Cheng, there is no conflict between being promoted for outstanding political performance and being punished for corruption.

The next topic is the assessment system.

In the troubled times, it is necessary to use talents without sticking to one pattern, Gao Cheng decided to follow the example of Liu Song and Nanqi to set up an inspection system limited to Xiaoman.

In the past, local officials took six years as a test, but in the last years of the Liu Song Dynasty, they thought that the time limit of six years was too long, and changed it to three years.

And the promotion of officials in Xiao Qi's early years was also limited to Xiaoman.

Gao Cheng imitated the old system of the Song and Qi dynasties, and for a period of three years, he divided the performance of officials into upper, middle, and lower grades, and on this ground, he made corresponding promotions, flat transfers, and demotions.

Such a disposition may not be conducive to the long-term policy of the local government, but it can indeed allow talents to emerge as quickly as possible, and can also remove mediocre officials.

At this point, the promotion standards for officials were basically established, and everyone immediately left.

Gao Cheng only left Cui Xian and said:

"Before, I ordered to test the merits of Cao to sort out the past political achievements of officials, and now whether they are sorted out perfectly."

Cui Xian replied:

"It's ready, ready for the world to read."

Gao Cheng waved his hand and said:

"No, Ji Lun has prepared two lists for me, one of which is for people with outstanding merits, listing their merits in detail, and the other is for people who are negligent or even bad in government, and their mistakes must also be written."

Cui Xian hurriedly responded.

For Nengchen, Gao Cheng can't even wait for Xiaoman three years later, and plans to find a reason to promote them.

And the people on the other list will also be the targets of their own fight against corruption.

If you don't vacate the position, how can you get promoted?

In the final analysis, Gao Cheng's crackdown on corruption is still in order to put others in power, and he is not driven by interests, and at this stage, he can't do this kind of laborious and offensive thing.
