Chapter 1: A letter begging for death, blowing up Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Self-evaluation of official evaluation,"
"Your Majesty, the minister participated in the first scientific expedition of the Ming Dynasty in the third year of Hongwu, and served as the magistrate of Yanmen County as a person."
"The minister has been an official for three years, gathered millions of dollars, built mansions, and became a businessman!"
“......”
"The minister felt that he was guilty, so he took the opportunity of the expiration of the assessment to submit a letter to surrender, only asking His Majesty to decree beheading."
"If Your Majesty feels that the minister is not worthy of His Majesty's handwritten decree to kill, the oral edict is fine."
"It is an honor to be named and killed by His Majesty!"
"That's all I say, the minister will bow again!"
"Signed: Ye Qing, the magistrate of Yanmen County, the criminal minister!"
In the sixth year of Hongwu, in March.
Ying Tianfu, in the imperial study of the imperial palace.
On top of the dragon case, there are several stacks of half-human-high folds.
These folds are exactly the same in terms of cover color, width, thickness and thickness.
Even the words on the cover are exactly the same.
On the cover: [Self-assessment of the assessment of Ming officials].
Not bad
These are all supervised by the Ministry of Officials, and they are dedicated to the performance of official assessment and self-evaluation.
The assessment system of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two types: inspection and examination.
An inspection is an examination of all officials, not limited to the specific term of office of any one official.
At the end of the examination, an official is examined during his three, six, or nine years of service.
The three-year examination is called the initial examination, the six years are called the re-examination, and the nine-year examination is called the general examination.
The assessment level is set as competent, ordinary, and incompetent!
The assessment is competent, and the verbal praise is then promoted!
The assessment is usual, and the scolding is over!
The assessment is incompetent, go home and farm!
Of course, this has to be done without being a traitor and without abusing power for personal gain.
If you make a hundred and eighty taels of silver, then you can only let someone collect the corpse.
The twists and turns that appear here now are all self-evaluations by local officials who have been fully examined.
Official self-assessment is one of the assessment methods of 'full examination', but the proportion is very low!
It stands to reason that the self-assessment of officials who can appear in the dragon case must be qualified with four grades and above.
But this is the first time since the promulgation of the assessment system that the examination has been completed, and Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to attach great importance to it.
The degree of attention he attaches to this examination is no less than the first scientific examination in Hongwu's three years!
For no other reason,
The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was inspired to 'expel Hu Lu, restore China, establish Chen Ji, and relieve the people', knew that his Ming Dynasty was completely built on a piece of ruins.
He wants to bring this ruin back to life and return to its heyday!
And to do this, he alone is completely insufficient, and he has to rely on the national officials with black gauze hats on their heads.
Therefore, the administrative level of officials is very important.
Under the dragon candlestick in the imperial study,
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was wearing a dragon robe, was sitting there looking through the self-evaluation of these officials.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who has been in Hongwu for six years, is not yet forty-five years old, and he is still a burly and energetic middle-aged man.
But no matter how good your energy is, you will inevitably look tired when you look through hundreds of books.
But there was a self-evaluation book, but it made him cheer up all of a sudden.
It's like being beaten with chicken blood!
The more he looks, the more energetic he becomes, and the more he looks, the more redness in his eyes.
finally
He rudely closed the note for 'Ye Qing, the magistrate of Yanmen County', and threw it out of the door of the imperial study with all his might.
"I'm so angry!"
"Lao Tzu has lived for most of his life, and he has never seen someone looking for death, but he has never seen him stick his head directly under our knife."
"Is this turning yourself in?"
"This is clearly to use your own neck to assess whether our knife is fast enough!"
“......”
The eunuch who was waiting outside the door was also frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden anger.
He didn't dare to rush in without a call, but slowly bent down to pick up the dust.
Even this action didn't dare to make a big move.
Just when the eunuch picked up the dust, he also subconsciously looked at the scattered ground and swaying in the wind.
He also wanted to see which official had such a thorough ability?
Writing a self-evaluation can also write Emperor Lao Tzu out of Thunder's Fury?
It stands to reason that the self-evaluation of officials is nothing more than two kinds of exaggeration and conservative!
The exaggeration is to be satisfied with their own political achievements and boast about them with flowery rhetoric.
Conservatives just look at it without bragging or belittling, but in fact, between the lines are praise for their own character.
But whether it is exaggerated or conservative, Zhu Yuanzhang can't be so angry!
Who is Zhu Yuanzhang?
He is the emperor of a bowl at the beginning and an end of a country!
He broke through the wind and waves!
He has been to the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood!
The court of intrigue, he can also do it!
He is indeed impulsive and murderous, but a person who has no ability really can't let him be so angry!
Thinking of this, the eunuch was even more interested in this recital swaying in the wind at the door.
But he didn't dare,
Satisfying curiosity or not being alive is important!
"Someone!"
"The Xuanqin Army is the commander of the Governor's Mansion and Mao Xiang!"
Listening to the roar of the dragon that made people's eardrums beat across a wall, the eunuchs didn't dare to go in to receive the order, and called someone to go after answering the call at the door.
soon
A general dressed in the golden armor of the pro-army and his eyes as sharp as a sword walked into the imperial study.
"You go to Yanmen County in person."
"Give death to Ye Qing, the magistrate of Yanmen, Ling Chi will be executed, and we will be scraped!"
"You have to scrape it to pieces!"
"What are you looking for?"
"Why don't you go soon?"
The eunuch who was waiting outside the door was frightened.
It's really every time you say a word, you slap the table!
"Command!"
After Mao Xiang saluted, he also hurriedly ran out of the door.
But he also paused slightly as he passed by the twist and turn, which was still swaying in the wind.
Obviously,
He also wanted to see what kind of ability this Ye Qing had, and if he wrote a self-evaluation, he could write himself as the ending of Ling Chi's execution?
But he didn't dare, so he hurriedly packed his luggage and set off to do errands.
