back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 179 Arguing
As soon as this remark came out, all the officials looked at the officials at Yushitai.However, Li Ran didn't seem to hear it. He looked at his nose and his heart. He didn't look at anything. Naturally, he couldn't see other people's faces.

Li Ran's silence doesn't mean that the Yushitai officials behind him are silent and let Zuo Si Lang Zhong Yan Hua criticize Sang and scold Huai.The supervisory censor, He Li, once came out with his wat and said, "Master Yan, why bother to insinuate? If you think this matter was caused by the censor platform, then just say it, and there is no need to beat around the bush here. If you think our censor platform If you can’t supervise all the officials and use the criminal law to correct the crimes of all the officials, if you don’t do anything wrong, then what do you want us to do at Yushitai?”

He Li used to be Li Ran's fellow villager, so he was naturally Li Ran's confidant.Li Ran was attacked and couldn't defend himself, so he came out to defend himself.Li Ran showed him the kindness of knowledge and understanding, and he was single-handedly promoted to be a supervisory censor, so he naturally wanted to repay him.At this time, on the surface, officials cannot form cliques for personal gain.But inside, who doesn't know the hidden rules of officialdom?All ancestral parties, mother parties, root parties, clan parties, township parties, cronies, fellow subjects, teachers and students are all small circles. It is easy to squeeze into a circle. It's okay to make friends with each other.But it is easy to get in and hard to get out, and it is very difficult to integrate into another small circle.It was because at this time, the standard for officials to judge him was whether the person was loyal or not. If he was a courtier like Wei Zheng in the official history, his virtue would be criticized by others.No matter how capable he is, the rest of the officials still look down on him.

If an official stands in the wrong circle, his end will be miserable.Even if he becomes a high-ranking official in the future, he still cannot escape the indecent title of "second minister".This is not a white-collar worker in the future generations, who does not want to work for this boss, so he jumps to another company.At this time, people attach great importance to the monarch, ministers, masters and servants, and they can use good birds to break trees to live in when they change their courts.If they changed a few more times, the infamy of the three surnamed house slaves would definitely be forgotten.Being an official has the prestige and reputation of being an official. This official reputation does not depend on how much you have done for the people, but on your reputation in the officialdom. To put it bluntly, it is moral conduct.If you change masters frequently, what official reputation is there?

Because of this, there are actually not many options for officials to choose.It is a very good choice to take refuge in a tutor, after all, there is a teacher-student relationship, even if this teacher-student relationship is very weak.But being able to be a teacher means that he has won the trust of the emperor and has a bright future, so he can't go wrong.In this way, you can no longer be a fool in the wall. If you are a fool in the officialdom, you will never be able to get promoted and make a fortune.Unless you are favored by the emperor, reuse you and promote you.Otherwise, don't even think about getting ahead for the rest of your life.

With the so-called party formation, it means that everyone will prosper and everyone will lose.This is also why many people don't understand why it is difficult for a person who seems to be a good official to the common people to become a high official.And a big corrupt official who forms a party for personal gain and accepts bribes often occupies a high position.It is all because honest officials disdain to form cliques for personal gain, have no backing in the court, and do not know how to manage from top to bottom, so naturally there is no hope of promotion.Only by relying on the so-called political achievements, slowly climbed up.And some corrupt officials, who know how to flatter and flatter, flatter their wishes, and work their way up and down to dredge their joints, will naturally rise to the top and get promoted and get rich.The so-called protection of officials and officials means this. Everyone is prosperous and everyone is hurt. Everyone is protecting others, because if something happens to someone else, he will also suffer bad luck.

Don't look at the salaries of officials in Dashun so much, if it's really going up and down to dredge the joints, this amount of money is really not enough.Why are corrupt officials repeatedly banned?It is because their private morality and political integrity are vulnerable to interests and threats. The so-called Confucianism is only used by them as a stepping stone to become an official. How many people really study it?To put it bluntly, interests are real, and ideology is false. In order to keep their vested interests from corruption, these corrupt officials will not spit out even if they want to subjugate the country.

The officials of Yushitai may not have much money, but they have a good reputation.The job of Yushitai is to impeach officials. If all civil and military officials are incorruptible, why should they be promoted?Naturally, he must try his best to list the crimes, so as to improve his political achievements.They can only be promoted if they are seen by the emperor!

It's a pity that Lu Chengqi is different from other emperors. He has his own intelligence agency and doesn't need any Yushitai at all.If Yushitai had achieved political achievements, Dashun might already be full of corrupt officials.Today, the remaining power of the Supervision Department is still there, and the anti-corruption storm of last year is still vivid. Corrupt officials who were beheaded and ransacked almost filled the entire prison of the Supervision Department.Under such deterrence, Lu Chengqi couldn't guarantee that there would be absolutely no corrupt officials, but he didn't dare to be so blatant.As soon as the cost of crime increases, these corrupt officials who are full of calculations will have to weigh it. If they get promoted and die, it will not be worthwhile.In this way, there will be fewer corrupt people.

These doorways were the driving force behind He Li's impeachment of other officials against his conscience.Lu Chengqi also understood Yushitai's pissing nature, these people simply impeached them indiscriminately.If they were messing around like they were, Dashun would have been in chaos long ago.

Lu Chengqi didn't think about getting rid of Yushitai, after all, Yushitai and civil and military officials were like sardines and catfish, without each other, they would lose their vigilance, and then fell into a vicious circle of dawdling.

Yan Hua was very happy when He Li made such a nonsense, and said with a smile: "Master He, I didn't mention you Yushitai, you admitted it so quickly, isn't it self-inflicted?"

He Li once said with a sneer: "I know exactly what Lord Yan wants to do. Your Majesty has said that speeches are not to be used as crimes, let alone our Yushitai? There is no ghost in your heart, why are you afraid of our Yushitai? Negligence of duty is negligence of duty, and we can't say anything if you do well?"

Yan Hua didn't get angry at all, and said with a smile: "Master He, you must have made a mistake. The culprit I mentioned is not your Yushitai, but someone else."

Hearing this, Li Ran was finally shocked. After thinking about it carefully, it was true.If it weren't for the fact that someone threw letters into the Yushitai every time before the court, their news would never be so well informed.Although Li Ran is stubborn, he is not stupid. He already knew that he was being used as a gun.But Yu Shi Zhongcheng's duties forced him to grit his teeth and do this.His eyes were fixed on the position of Doctor Yu Shi.Since the doctor of the censor had to assist Zaifu in handling the government affairs, the functions of supervision were mainly performed by the censor cheng and the censor zhongcheng, and the censor zhongcheng carried out the supervisory power.After the Zaifu was removed, the Yushi doctor would assist the cabinet in handling the government affairs.

It is precisely because the imperial censor can be a substitute, and he can join the cabinet if he switches to the cabinet system. This is an important position to hold the central power. It would be strange if Li Ran didn't keep an eye on it.It's a pity that the current imperial censor is occupied by Liang Kunhe, the veteran of the two dynasties. His qualifications are much older than Li Ran. If he doesn't step down or enter the cabinet, Li Ran will have no chance.That being the case, we can only find another way to get promoted based on political achievements.It's a pity that Li Ran's calculation was very sound, but it just didn't work.

After Yan Hua finished saying this, He Lizeng had nothing to say, and stood there in a daze, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Yan Hua's gourd.
