Chapter 23 Dingge Imperial Examination Appropriation for Disaster Relief

With the explosion of You Tanwu's handles, the Manchu Dynasty kept silent, and finally had to agree to the reform concept of implementing the imperial examination. After all, if you don't agree, you can't say what evidence His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has.

The ability of the brocade clothes and guards also made the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate palpitate for a while.

Since Emperor Gaozu set up the Imperial Procuratorate, the left and right imperial history, the deputy imperial history and other official positions, in order to supervise the various organs, but also gave the power of "major matters to adjudicate, small matters to decide", is the highest supervisory organ.

The Thirteen Provinces of the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervised the imperial history, and even inspected the prefectures and counties, and was specifically responsible for the inspection, impeachment, and picketing of officials, impeaching hundreds of officials, identifying wrongs, and supervising all provinces, which were the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven.

Everywhere in the world, everything is corrected.

If there are ministers who are traitors, form parties for personal gain, and act as prestige, they can be impeached directly.

But now, their functions have a faint tendency to be replaced by Jinyiwei, which is very dangerous.

For the courtiers, share worries for the country, and share worries for the emperor. If the emperor has no worries, or if the worries are solved by others, then they have no meaning to exist.

But over the years, His Majesty the Emperor has been in poor health, the powerful minister Xue Jinzhong has been in charge, and the people in the government and the opposition have either died or retired or hidden, where did they come from.

If they want to act, then they will be the ones who want to do it first.

There is no way to guarantee internal purity, how can we guarantee that we can supervise hundreds of officials again?

Thinking of this, Zuodu Yushi Ma's conscience suddenly had a plan, and his eyes when he looked at the prince became eager.

The crown prince is very popular, obviously has requirements for the court officials, and he is dedicated to doing things for the people, he has no corruption, everything is just forced by Xue Jinzhong, and the stolen money and other things are even more motionless, and there may be a chance to redeem it.

"Now that this matter has been finalized, the reform of the election of officials is also imminent, and the foundation of the imperial examination is still in the selection of teaching materials.

As soon as the words of King's Landing Heaven came out, everyone in the court suddenly became active.

Cabinet Minister Situ Min suddenly had a plan in his heart.

This is a matter that benefits all the people, and once the textbook is written, the compiler will have the name of a teacher for what the students have learned, and this name can be passed on for thousands of generations.

As for the backlash of the family clan, I think the prince will have a solution.

After all, Hu Weiyong and the others' strategies are like double reeds, how could he not know that this was the prince's order.

"Prince Qiyu, the old minister Situ Min is willing to recommend himself, and dare to ask His Highness for permission to compile it!"

Hearing this, King's Landing was not surprised.

Situ Min, who was also a son of a poor family, was met by His Majesty the Emperor during a private visit, and heard that this person was known as a talented person in the local area, and found that this person was also virtuous and not bad, so he was recruited as an official.

When Xue Jinzhong was in power, Situ Min could also be good and did not do a single evil thing, which was quite rare. It's just that there is a bit of marginalization in the cabinet.

"Situ University is well-known all over the world, and he has participated in the compilation of "Gao Zuce", and it is even more handy to write the textbook for the imperial examination, and it is accurate!"

How could King's Landing be unwilling to such an active talent, and immediately approve it.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

"Situ Aiqing, besides you, do you have any other people to recommend?"

Hearing this, Situ Min rarely hesitated in his heart, and finally decided to speak.

There are still many pillars of the country in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple Prison, so there is no problem at this time.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister does have people who are recommended, but these people were framed and imprisoned by the former first assistant Xue Jinzhong, and they were locked up in the prison of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department at this time."

"Oh?"

King's Landing was slightly stunned, why didn't he think of this.

Xue Jin was loyal to the extremely popular ministers, although he supported the party and excluded dissidents, he did not kill these courtiers, so that there were more people available to him under him.

These guys can be loyal to themselves, but as long as they are loyal to the big cadres, this is enough!

"Tell me about it!"

"Yes, Your Highness! Zheng Banqiao, a former cabinet scholar, is a must-have for this person, and he is upright, unyielding, and he is a good painter and a good hand; There are also talented people Gao Shi, Wang Jie and others, who have participated in the compilation of the "Gaozu Book" with their ministers, and also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be gracious and promote Zheng Banqiao and others to participate in the compilation of imperial examination textbooks. ”

Jun Lintian nodded, Zheng Banqiao and the others were really talented, even if they were a gentleman in the past, they were quite heard of.

"Not bad, yes, Aiqing has a heart."

After a compliment, he immediately looked at Zuodu Yu Shi Ma Liang, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Nie Thirteen, and Zhong Kui, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and others.

"Since Situ Aiqing has said it, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Inspector's Office, and Jinyiwei will cooperate to verify the ministers as soon as possible, and those who are guilty will be convicted, and those who are not guilty will be reinstated.

"Obey the order!"

Immediately, officials such as Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Jinyiwei received orders one after another.

At this point, a personnel training system that was sufficient to influence the Great Qian Empire for thousands of generations began to emerge. And King's Landing Heaven announced it in the government and the opposition with such fanfare, which will inevitably lead to the rebellion of the family clan.

The ignorance of the Qianshou led to the expansion of the clan and the ability to constantly suppress and control the people, and to achieve many problems such as land annexation and peasant employment.

If King's Landing continues, it will damage the interests of all family forces and noble clansmen, and a storm seems to be in preparation.

The general direction has been finalized, and how to implement it naturally requires the courtiers to give a plan, otherwise what to do with them. Jun Lintian looked at the courtiers and said, "By the way, after Xue Jinzhong and others were punished yesterday, the treasury was filled a lot, Zhu Aiqing?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Guangqi, the head of the household, stood up with a red face and said, "Back to Your Majesty's words, it is indeed a lot fuller. My taxes for several years are only these silver taels, not to mention that there are many rare treasures mixed in. ”

"Okay, the next thing that can be solved with money should also be solved with money."

As soon as Jun Lintian's words came out, Zhu Guangqi immediately understood what the prince meant, but he couldn't act without permission, so he pretended to be stupid and asked, "What does His Royal Highness the prince mean?" ”

"Sichuan Political Secretary Qian Yilong repeatedly said that Sichuan has suffered serious floods this year, the grain harvest has been greatly reduced, and there have even been many victims, and 20 million taels of silver have been allocated for disaster relief."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Guangqi only felt a pain in his heart, and then said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, although there is a flood in Sichuan, the flood is not serious, although there is a reduction in grain production, it is enough to be self-sufficient, and the allocation of 20 million taels of silver is not... It's a bit much, Your Highness!

Your Highness, the so-called money must be used on the steel blade. ”

"Hmph, Zhu Guangqi, this palace sees that you are old and confused!" Jun Lintian glared at Zhu Guangqi, an old money fan, but he also knew that Zhu Guangqi, as the head of the household, was a big clean official, otherwise he would have been the first to punish him.

It's understandable that I've been poor and scared over the years.

"These 20 million taels of silver are to relieve the floods in Sichuan once and for all. Sichuan is a low-lying city, and the canals of the Minjiang River can be used for irrigation on weekdays, but it is delusional to dredge the floods caused by heavy rains. Therefore, the palace should send people to build a river weir, one to solve the problem of flooding, and the other to store water for irrigation.

In this way, the flood problem is solved, and the grain production is increased, isn't it a double win! ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers present were stunned.

It is necessary to build a river weir and provide disaster relief, so how can 20 million taels of silver be enough?
