back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 625 Autumn is approaching
"Snapped!!!"

A memorial was severely slapped on the dragon case, and Lu Chengqi was a little bit blown and staring, cursing: "It's so calculated, so calculated, it's all calculated on my head!"

Gao Hao was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Lu Chengqi waved his hand in annoyance, and said, "Get up, it's none of your business!" Gao Hao didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he got up embarrassingly.Lu Chengqi also stood up, with his hands behind his back, and while pacing, he said, "Gao Hao, I ask you, how do I treat those water thieves?"

Gao Hao quickly replied: "Your Majesty is merciful, never prosecuted him for the crime of rebellion, and even issued edicts one after another to reward him with official positions, which is the most benevolent and righteous."

Lu Chengqi shook his head and said, "I guess it's because I didn't do enough kindness. The head of the cottage in Juzhou actually refused to recruit security. I have to issue an imperial decree to tell the whole country!"

Gao Hao was stunned for a moment, but soon understood: "These thieves, do you really think of yourself as a character? Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, as long as the imperial army arrives, they will definitely be turned into dust!"

"No, since they want the imperial decree and want the world to know it, then I will give it to them!" After careful consideration, Lu Chengqi said slowly: "I am willing to buy a horse bone with thousands of dollars. But after they recruited them, they still did evil. It's my fault for not showing affection."

"Your Majesty's kindness is their good fortune!" Gao Hao patted Lu Chengqi's ass flatteringly, he had a good grasp of Lu Chengqi's temperament, and knew that the little emperor hated people patting his horse the most.But sycophancy is a technical job, and you deserve what you deserve when you slap on a horse's leg.Lu Chengqi couldn't listen to flattery that was too nasty, it was acceptable if it was not serious.

Lu Chengqi glanced at him meaningfully, and said, "Why did you enter the palace, is there a courtier asking to see you?"

Gao Hao smiled and said: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from His Majesty. It is true that a minister has requested to see His Majesty."

"Oh, didn't you just come to court, why didn't you tell me something?" Lu Chengqi said lightly.

Gao Hao didn't dare to answer these words, if he did, he might become an "affiliate". "Okay, tell me, who is it?"

Only then did Gao Hao dare to answer: "Your Majesty, Minister of Rites, Feng Chengping, please see me."

"Oh, it's him! Call him an audience, he's already old, and he should be exhausted after standing outside the hall for so long..."

"Your Majesty is so sympathetic to the minister, why doesn't the minister try his best to serve the court?" Gao Hao slapped another flattery, this time it was on the horse's leg.

Lu Chengqi frowned and said: "Just do your job well, don't talk too much about other things. Misfortune comes from your mouth, you should understand this truth."

Gao Hao said "yes" repeatedly, and then slowly bowed and exited the Chui Gong Hall.Not long after, an official wearing a second-rank official uniform, holding a court wat, who looked like he had just come down to court, stepped into the vertical arch hall.

"Minister Feng Chengping, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi didn't return to his seat either, standing in front of the dragon case, he glanced at him with strange eyes: "It's Feng Qing, come here, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Feng Chengping was not too polite, and sat on the chair familiarly, with two-thirds of his buttocks in the air, for fear of offending the little emperor.

Seeing him sit down, Lu Chengqi slowly asked: "Feng Qing must have something important to ask to see me. Why didn't you say it publicly, but want to see me privately?"

Feng Chengping quickly said: "Your Majesty, the autumn is approaching, and the test questions have not yet been decided. I am so worried that I cannot ask to see Your Majesty..."

Lu Chengqi was taken aback, and quickly covered up his embarrassment, and said openly: "There are so many political affairs in the past few days, I actually forgot to confirm the test questions. I am very relieved that Feng Qing is so caring. Well, I will find you After looking for it, I don't know where I put the memorial that Feng Qing presented to me a few days ago."

Feng Chengping said in his heart: "The emperor is so confused. For such an important matter as Qiu Wei, he forgets it as soon as he says it. But it's true when he thinks about it. The emperor opened Qiu Wei again just to win people's hearts. Once the ten-rank official system came out , the world was in an uproar, using some means, and then using Enke, it can be regarded as compensation for the scholars of the world. It's just a pity that there will be no officials in the future. Small officials can also be high officials of the court. This is really against the way of sages. !"

He absolutely dare not say this in front of Lu Chengqi, his "way of sages" is completely different from Lu Chengqi's "way of sages".To put it bluntly, Feng Chengping wanted the "way of the sages" because a few people had mastered the essentials of Confucianism and monopolized the imperial examinations. All the officials who passed the examination were their own people, and it was easy to form a civil official group.And Lu Chengqi's aim to break up this civil servant group will naturally offend these vested interest groups, but in the long run, it will be beneficial to the country.In fact, among the small officials, there are also people with great talents, but they are limited by their backgrounds and cannot display their ambitions.However, some officials who eat vegetarian meals in the corpses occupy the latrines and do not shit, and they do not do business for officials, but they are keen on having fun.These officials are very afraid of the ten-rank official system.Because with the introduction of the ten-rank official system, it is accompanied by a brand-new performance evaluation system.Half of this performance inspection comes from the inspection of the Ministry of Officials, while the other half comes from the word-of-mouth of the people collected by the supervisory departments in various places.

In the past, if there were some acquaintances in the official department, they could still do something. After all, this officialdom thing cannot be completely eradicated by crackdown.And now it's half-open, and the Supervision Department is the little emperor's private intelligence station. How do the common people evaluate this official? Is it the turn of the officials to dictate?Obviously not, so naturally, this undoubtedly sounded the death knell for many officials who occupy the latrines and don't shit, and they feel a little anxious all day long.In terms of ability to handle affairs, these officials lack the slightest bit, but when it comes to corruption and bribery, drinking and tea, these moths are proficient in everything.

With the in-depth promotion of the ten-rank official system, it has spread all the way from Jingzhao Mansion to the whole country. These officials almost did not pray to God and worship Buddha. They were afraid that their bad deeds would be known by the little emperor. I don't know where to put my face.

Naturally, Feng Chengping also received a call for help from his disciples, and he only replied with four words "I can do it for myself", so he didn't dare to talk about it in detail.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that as soon as the autumn is over and the ten-rank official system is officially implemented, the officialdom in Dashun will really undergo earth-shaking changes.This change is naturally good for the common people. Officials and officials are no longer separated, and those officials who eat vegetarian meals can only learn how to do things.After the introduction of the competition mechanism, whether these officials can compete with the petty officials is open to question!Fortunately, the little emperor was forced to keep a hand. If the ten-rank official did not pass the imperial examination, he still could not be promoted.But small officials can also do scientific research. To put it bluntly, it is almost the same.

In other words, being an official is no longer a golden job, not even an iron job.Once the ten-rank official system is implemented, being an official is a porcelain rice bowl.If you are capable, the porcelain rice bowl will grow bigger and bigger; if you are not talented, you will only talk about it and make a mess of it, so sorry, the porcelain rice bowl is broken, you can find another way to make a living!
Why do civil servants hate the ten-rank official system so much?It's not that small officials can become officials, but the new performance evaluation system makes them feel uneasy!
