I, my father-in-law, set off a frenzy of public examinations in ancient times

Chapter 29 The Sage and the Gentleman

There are no secrets in the palace, and within a short while Qian Fangyuan's fraudulent accounts and corruption became known to everyone in the palace.

The lower-ranking person said he deserved it, and the matter was so big that he even dared to reach out for the Queen Mother's birthday; those at the same level kept shaking their heads, why were they so careless?Got caught.

At the same time, many people were eager to find out about Qian Fangyuan's position, and inquired about it in many ways; but what they found out was that not only was Qian Fangyuan not killed, but even his rank was not killed, it's weird~~~
An even weirder thing happened later: headed by the Supervisor of Rituals, they issued a memorial in a new format that was recently used by the previous dynasty, called "Notice on Self-examination and Self-Correction for the Construction of a Clean and Incorruptible Internal Government".

The general idea is to use the opportunity of Qian Fangyuan's incident to let the managers who have corruption phenomena rectify themselves in time, and stop playing cats and dogs with two sets of accounts.Those who rein in their horses from the precipice and wake up to their senses can still be in office without blaming the past;

And gave seven days to make rectification, when the time comes, Guan Gonggong, the supervisor of ceremonies, will personally check the accounts.

As soon as this move came out, there was an uproar in the palace.In general, the main questions are as follows:
First, isn't "reflection and self-examination" something that a saint can do?Let yourself check yourself, can you really do it?
Second, is this Guan Gonggong the one who allows all the palace people to have a vacation?Is it Guan Gonggong who gave the exam questions when he was choosing a servant?It is said that there is a problem with the accounts of Fangyuan who paid money all at once. If it is really this ghostly Guan Gonggong, then all the managers have to weigh the deep meaning behind this, and dare to take the risk of making false accounts?

……

Guan Yujun was eating the buffet in the dining room, while Huang Bao was staring at her all the time, hesitating to speak.

Guan Yujun felt uncomfortable when he looked at him, "Eunuch Huang Bao, if you want to eat, let's go together! Why are you looking at me like that? It's so creepy..."

Huang Bao flicked his fly whisk, crossed his arms around his chest and made a villain's standing posture, very much like Park Yanzhen in "Dark Glory": "Little Guanzi, I can't see you through more and more, you don't take money to Fangyuan Liwei, how to make the rectification effective?"

Guan Yujun took the time to ask back: "Didn't you say that Qian Fangyuan is capable and talented? After this experience, it's fun for you to use him to stand out, but where will you go to select such a person in the future?" What about talents? It’s not as simple as finding a cook or a groom.”

As a time traveler, Guan Yujun knows how rare comprehensive management talents are~
What's more, the eunuch's salary is extremely low, only one-tenth of that of officials of the same rank, and there are no various "subsidies" from other officials, so it's no wonder that it is enough!

The reason is that the founding emperor of the Yong Dynasty, Han Yinchu's good grandpa, thought that the eunuchs were single and didn't need so much money? !Listen, is this speaking human language?He doesn't do anything with people!

In this way, it is strange that people do not take risks in corruption!

But it's different now. She Guan Yujun not only wants to drive the former court to actively involuntarily, but also protects the legitimate rights and interests of the laborers in the harem!

The first step is to rectify the unhealthy trends!
Huang Bao deeply felt that he couldn't talk about Guan Yujun, but when he thought that the emperor had nothing to do with him, he felt relieved:
"Since you are going to check the accounts, there must be some people who are lucky enough to make another set of fake accounts or not rectify them at all, hoping that you will not be able to find out. Then you are not afraid of 'losing talents' at this time?"

"Mr. Huang Bao's words are unreasonable. At best, that kind of person is a little 'smart' but not 'great wisdom'. Dare to commit crimes against the wind at such a time, which proves that the principle is not strong, and there is no bottom line of vigilance in the heart. ;This kind of person has brains and more crooked minds. Wouldn't it be more terrifying to be in a high position?
Sima Guang said, "A man without talent and virtue is a fool, a man with talent but no virtue is a villain, a gentleman with virtue but no talent, and a saint with both ability and virtue." Saints and gentlemen are not often found, and it is better to take fools than villains;

We can just take this opportunity to clean up the composition of the palace staff..."

Huang Bao was confused when he heard it. Although Guan Yujun spoke in plain language, he seemed to be even more confused:
"Xiao Guanzi, you just said that Sima Guang said that? The one who wrote "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"?"

"Yes!"

"He is so knowledgeable, can he speak the vernacular?"

Guan Yujun was speechless, why did everyone in Han Yinchu have the same virtues as him? ? ?
"Cough cough," Guan Yujun cleared his throat, "Eunuch Huang Bao, the original saying is, 'A gentleman thinks good when he takes talent, and a villain thinks evil when he takes talent. Those who take talent for good can do all kinds of good things; Those who think of evil will do evil.... A villain is wise enough to commit treachery, and brave enough to repel violence. He is also a tiger with wings, so he can do a lot of harm'!"

Huang Bao: ... I was wrong, I was really wrong, why should I ask him this question, so I have nothing to say?I can't understand it myself, it's just asking for trouble!

"However, it's a small matter. If you take advantage of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, you can indeed calm down for a while, but after the birthday banquet, won't you still have a 'solid state'? Treat the symptoms, not the root cause!" Huang Bao was worried.

"Hehehe, leave it to me!" Guan Yujun patted his thin chest: "After the birthday banquet, I will definitely come up with a plan that satisfies everyone!"

Looking at his appearance, Huang Bao couldn't help but burst out laughing, since he came, the Forbidden Palace has been quite lively!
Huang Bao suddenly became interested in chatting with him: "Little Guanzi, what did you say about saints, fools, and gentlemen just now, and you think you are unparalleled in wisdom, so which one do you think you are?"

Guan Yujun still had the happy look of the optimist: "My name is Guan Yujun, and I am naturally a gentleman! And I am also a gentleman of 'great virtues are not too busy, and small virtues can come and go'!"

To put it simply, he is a gentleman with a flexible moral bottom line.

"Oh? Then what kind of Huang Bao do you think I am?" Huang Bao asked Guan Yujun a tricky problem.

"Of course Eunuch Huang Bao is a 'saint'!" Guan Yujun said without shame, without blushing and heartbeat.

"What are you talking about?!" Huang Bao wanted to cover Guan Yujun's mouth with his hands, but he never thought that Guan Yujun dared to say that he was a saint!

Guan Yujun shook his head and explained: "What's the point of this? 'Above all, there is morality, followed by meritorious service, and then there is public opinion'. Mr. Huang Bao's mansion is kind-hearted and has excellent conduct, and what he does is a first-class career that achieves virtue. Still can't afford the word 'saint'?

Although you are not a "sage" recognized by the general public like Confucius, you are a first-class "sage" in this deep palace! "
