Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 681 Taboo
It is not easy to be an official in the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is Emperor Hongwu or the current Emperor Yingshi, none of them will let the officials relax and put great pressure on the officials. If they want to be as rich as the Song Dynasty, then Obviously impossible.

It's just that for many officials, what they care about is not necessarily the salary of the court, they care more about status and power, and these are obviously impossible for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty to give.

It is not without reason that the Song Dynasty is a paradise for scholars, because once the Song Dynasty is named on the gold list, it will be the pinnacle of life.Leaving aside the salary and so on, the status of civil servants is extremely high, and they don't care about those generals at all, and even openly despise them.

In addition to the disparity in civil and military status, the most important thing is the environment of being an official.The civil servants of the Song Dynasty were not worried about being beheaded by the emperor. At most, they would be demoted or exiled.

But there is no need to worry too much about the emperor's decree that the head will fall to the ground. Looking at what the Ming Dynasty did, it is simply insulting to the gentlemen.It's okay to be beheaded, but you have to be skinned and used as grass every now and then, and you'll be hung up in the small house next to the county government for public display!
Some scholars even felt that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not as prestigious as those in the Yuan Dynasty.Although Meng Yuan is a foreign race, he also classifies scholars as the ninth class, but in many cases, he will give officials some rights and give them some dignity.The most important thing is that as long as some things are done, the court is not too restrictive.

It's not like in the Ming Dynasty, when corrupt officials were killed and blood flowed like rivers, if they couldn't be diligent or implement the policies of the court, they wouldn't be able to pass the evaluation test, and they might even be punished by the court. This is simply no way out!

Wanting the cows to run fast, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not willing to feed the cows too much.

Such a situation will naturally cause complaints, but there is no way, who makes many scholars think in their bones that they are learning martial arts, goods and the emperor's family.No matter how hard it is to be an official, it is always better than a peasant who is digging in the soil.Even if he is squeezed by the emperor again, in the eyes of the common people, he is still a superior official.

Ru Yong looked at the greeting posts and said, "Father, is it true that the family won't reply to these posts?"

Ru Yu said indifferently, "It's a great fortune to be honored by His Majesty's Long favor as a father, and to be appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Your elder brother, Princess Shang, is honored as the son-in-law and captain, and we shall be content."

Ru Yong also said, "My son has never dared to live up to the emperor's grace, but many of these posts are..."

Ru Yu looked at the youngest son and said, "You mean to say that many of these posts were sent by important officials of the court, and you want to form a good relationship, don't you? We, the Ru family, should be the first to do our duty faithfully and don't need to do crooked ways."

The truth is this, but Ru Yong also thinks that maybe he can't be so rigid, and needs to think about it in the future.

Of course, the eldest brother doesn't need to worry about it, he is the captain's son-in-law, and according to his seniority, the son-in-law still needs to be called uncle.These are also paid by the imperial court. If you want to step into the imperial court in the future, it will be relatively easy. At least a literary official or military official will not be able to escape.

There is no need to worry about the big house, but if you want to think about your second brother, you also need to think about yourself, the youngest.

My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. If there is no good relationship, if the old man returns to his hometown in the future, there will be no love in the court. In the future, if the descendants want to go to the official career, it will be more difficult. It's tough.

Naturally, Ru Xun also knew what the youngest son was worried about, but there were some things he couldn't say clearly, or the youngest son's thoughts were normal, after all, many officials actually did the same.

Although the imperial court is very concerned about party disputes, everyone knows that there are indeed some factions of officials in the imperial court. Even if some people leave the imperial court, they still leave some affection, or It has some inheritance of its own.

For example, Ru Yu presided over the imperial examination in the first year of Yingshi, and the students in that subject were theoretically also Ru Yu's students.Of course, Ru Yu doesn't need such a reputation, mainly because she doesn't want to be in the limelight, as it will only cause His Majesty the Emperor's displeasure.

What's more, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which is essentially the head of civil officials, and there is no need to care about those false names.If you really want to cultivate disciples, you also need to find talents who can be cultivated, instead of just recruiting a bunch of people casually, that will only lead to bad things.

Just like Yu Xin, the former minister of the household department, although he was dismissed from office for this matter, he is now reduced to being assigned to the Yellow River embankment.But many people also know that the successor Yu Xin cultivated is very good, Xia Yuanji is a powerful character, and many people also know that His Majesty the Emperor appreciates him a lot.

Ru Yuan looked at her younger son and said, "You should study hard now, don't have other thoughts. You still don't understand the devious ways in the officialdom. If one day you step into the officialdom, you will be able to do it for your father again." Teach you well."

Ru Yong was depressed, although he is also studying in the Imperial College now, but he is not the kind of person who is admitted to the Imperial College by relying on real materials.There is no shortage of students like him in the Imperial College, basically they are the children of officials and officials, and the family members are full of powerful elders.

This kind of students are naturally yin students, and the same reason as those yin officials, that is, there is an official in the family of a good reincarnation.Such people can naturally get more resources, but not all of them are outstanding.

Don't look at Ru Yu as a child prodigy, and now he is even more expensive as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but none of his three sons has much talent.Don't talk about inheriting the mantle, as long as you don't make some troubles, it's not bad.

Ru Yong also has self-knowledge, he couldn't understand even when he was studying in the Imperial College, let alone expecting to be named on the gold list.I don't have that ability, and my father won't help him operate in secret.Even if there is an opportunity to be an official in the future, the eldest brother and the second brother can get more resources, and they will probably be a rich man when it comes to him.

Ru Yu sighed and said, "Look at Lianfu, if you are smarter, if your classmates and friends ask you for mercy, they will never agree."

The Lian Mansion next door is not easy to enter, it is the natal family of the imperial concubine, Lian Zi Ning Lian is even more rigid and strict.

Don't say that ordinary officials dare not come to make mistakes, even if a son of an official like him is met by the boss, if there is no accident, he will also be tested for school, and maybe he will be reprimanded.

Who dares to act presumptuously in front of that old man, not to mention that everyone in the government and the public knows that today's emperor loves the princess born to His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine.The fact that Mr. Lian is walking around Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate alone is scary.

It seems that it is not as high as the official position of the six ministers, but this is also one of the out-and-out Jiuqing.The most important thing is that the old man's duty is to supervise the impeachment of officials, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor. Even Ru Yu would not dare to offend easily!

At this time, it is better to keep a low profile. Ru Yong really wanted to speak out, and some classmates and friends asked him to shirk.And now that I have asked myself, this can be regarded as doing my best and obeying the destiny, and he can't be the master of the big things here.

Nowadays, no one in the ruling and opposition parties knows that today's day is going to purge the officials. Many people are terrified at this time, and many people are busy making their names and operating.

For some people, this is naturally an out-and-out crisis. If it is not done well, they may lose their black hats, or even their heads may fall to the ground.For others, it may be an opportunity to advance their official career.

Especially those honest officials, or some noble officials with a good reputation, this is naturally their opportunity.They may not lack ability or ambition, what they lack is some opportunities, some opportunities to make the emperor notice them.

Jingcha, this is indeed a big test for many officials, and their performance is indeed related to their official career, wealth and life. If they are not serious at this time, it will be a strange thing.

Those who want to climb up are naturally capable or have relatively good morals.Although some people may seek their own affairs in their positions, they don't have much utilitarian thoughts.But most of the time I still think about getting something, especially when I have done a good job, whether it is fame or official position, I should get something.

At this time, a lot of operations, of course there is no problem, not just in the officialdom.In other places, in fact, it is the same, and it is human nature to seize every opportunity to climb up.

And those who lack confidence may be thinking about going up and down, thinking that they can get through the difficulties smoothly.Three years to clean up the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes in silver, even if the Ming Dynasty has always severely punished corrupt officials, it cannot guarantee that every official is a clean official.

What's more, some people have other thoughts, even if they are not capable enough, or the bottom of their butt is not very clean.But of course, this is Jingcha, and the person in charge can be dragged into the water. At that time, as long as the pen is moved a little, he can naturally get an excellent performance in the evaluation test, and maybe he can be promoted.

People who can hang out in the officialdom, whether it is IQ or EQ, there is always one thing that is more powerful.And some people simply have high dual quotients, that is like a fish in water, and naturally they have more ideas.

Ru Jian came to the main hall, saluted and said, "Father, my son has gone to Duke Yan's mansion. Duke Yan encouraged his son and left a letter."

Ru Yu sighed, and said, "My father and Duke Yan joined His Majesty's family in the early years. At that time, the rank was not high, and there were not many responsibilities, and they often walked around in private. It's a pleasure to talk about wine and talk! But now, even Duke Yan I’m about to leave for Kaifeng Mansion, and I can’t personally send it off!”

Ruyu's two sons stopped talking. These topics are indeed sensitive, but they can understand them.

Their father was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the head of civil officials in the world.And Yan Zhenzhi is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Although many people think that the Ministry of Industry is the least prominent among the six departments, everyone knows that today's world attaches great importance to the Ministry of Industry.

It would be somewhat taboo for these two Shangshu adults to walk around frequently in private.Even if they are all from Taisun's Mansion, but to be honest, which of the officials in the world is not a disciple of today's emperor?

Ru Yu or Yan Zhenzhi, in fact, didn't stop walking in the past few years, they just started to keep some distance from each other when the emperor's grandson was getting older.It was also as their official positions became higher and higher, and they began to slowly maintain a certain distance.

As for martial arts such as Zhang He and Zhu Shou, even if they all come from the Taisun Mansion, they have always kept a certain distance.The cultural relics still need to be separated a little bit, and it is not a good thing to walk too close.

Yan Zhenzhi is about to go to govern Huanghuai, and many people have also seen his beauty and seen that he has won the emperor's unparalleled favor.Many people are just envious, many people also feel admiration, and of course many people feel that it has nothing to do with them.

As a colleague, Ru Yu felt that he had done everything he could do, and he also knew that it was Yan Zhenzhi's pursuit. He would not do anything more and naturally he would not object, so he could only send his blessings.

Perhaps Ru Yu would also feel proud. The former Taisun's family was actually full of talents.No matter whether they are at the top of the temple or they are on the side of Mushou, everyone can be regarded as the pillars of the imperial court now.

The most important thing is that these former colleagues are all important ministers of the country, and none of them have forgotten their original intentions, and the assisted Emperor His Majesty will govern the country and the country better.Perhaps they were also extremely lucky, and they served in front of His Majesty early on, and His Majesty also entrusted them with important responsibilities.

His Majesty the Emperor is wise and mighty, and it is their luck to be able to assist His Majesty in creating a prosperous Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunying didn't know what his ministers were talking or thinking, he was just teasing his youngest son.Looking at the chubby Zhu Wenkun, Zhu Yunying is in a good mood.

"Your eldest brother is the crown prince, so we won't give him any title of prince. Even if we dote on your second uncle so much, we just let him be the king of Wu. Think about your princes, we are not willing to give them good The titles of Qin Wang and Jin Wang were given to your great-grandfather, and Han Wang father kept it for you!"

Xu Miaoqing, who was next to her, was overjoyed, the title of prince is not a trivial matter, although the Ming Dynasty has no actual fiefdoms, but these titles also represent status.

Generally speaking, the titles of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period are the most honorable. Of course, since the Tang Dynasty, the status of King Qin has been particularly special.Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, King Wu must have been extremely special.

However, the title of King of Han is something that ordinary princes cannot bear.

The eldest son is the prince, and the second son is the king of Han, which is enough to show that Xu Miaoqing's position is stable.The one who is here is the second son who got the title of King of Han. In fact, this is also assisting his elder brother.

Zhu Wenkun, who just turned one year old, didn't know that his father had reserved the noble title of prince for him, and he was bending over and grabbing his little sparrow intently!
