Ting Tui?
Oh, by the way, Tingtui!
After hearing the emperor's words, the ministers came to their senses. Although they had waited for more than an hour and then saw the scene in the palace, few people present cared about it.
What the hell is going on.
However, after all, they came here this time for this matter, so the ministers had to temporarily put the prince's matter behind them and cheer up to return to the results of the court test.
They looked at each other, and finally Wang Wen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty had a decree before. This time, the court recommended that two ministers be added to the Ministry of Personnel. However, in the results of the recommendation, Your Majesty only selected Wang Yining to be transferred to the Ministry of Personnel. The ministers were frightened, and they did not know that another minister was already appointed by your Majesty.
If there is a candidate, it still needs to be recommended again, please let your Majesty make it clear."
Logically speaking, even if they come, they should express their feelings tactfully again and again. However, under the current situation, all the ministers are undecided. Naturally, they are no longer in the mood to be aggressive, so they ask directly.
came out.
Faced with this situation, the emperor was not angry, but said:
"This matter is not urgent. Wang Yining is a third-grade minister. He is mature and prudent. If he goes to the staff department, there will be no hindrance to the operation of the staff department for a while. As for the other remaining minister..."
At this point, the emperor paused for a moment, and his eyes wandered among the ministers. Finally, he casually fell on someone and said.
"Nowadays, not only among the six bureaus, but also in Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and many yamen in Beijing, there are vacancies. Originally, I thought about slowly adding more, but this time the court reminded me that Beijing
That’s all there are for Chinese officials.”
"I have been tossing and tossing, leaving here and being freed up there. There is no result in rushing back and forth. Therefore, I plan to promote a group of local officials to Beijing to fill the gap among the various yamen in the government.
There is no vacancy, what do you think?"
Ah this...
Everyone below looked at each other and immediately understood what the emperor meant. After thinking for a moment, no one raised any objections.
Today, there are indeed many official positions in various yamen in Beijing that are still vacant. Well, this is actually the impact of the civil war.
That's it for some relatively low-level officials. We demote talents in an eclectic way. Since there is a shortage of manpower, we can just select those with worthy abilities and directly replace them.
However, things are different at the stage from fifth grade to third grade. As the backbone of the court, their promotion requires support from qualifications and connections. These cannot be accomplished overnight.
In addition, these official positions are not as indispensable as the chief officials of various yamen. Therefore, in many yamen, some official positions are still vacant.
In addition, another point is that officials of this level are enough to be included in the eyes of the top management. Overtly or covertly, the big shots in the government will interfere with the appointment and removal of these official positions. Therefore, everyone checks and balances each other.
, qualifications and political achievements are even slightly deficient, they are easy to be knocked down, therefore, the current situation has been formed.
However, the most important official positions have already been filled, which does not affect the daily operation of the court. At most, it is just a little busier. Therefore, these important officials in the court have not been in a hurry to fill all these official positions.
However, although this matter is not urgent, it is still very important. Now that the issue has been brought up, they will naturally take it to heart.
After all, since this matter needs to be done, it is a good opportunity for them to promote younger disciples. If anyone falls behind at this time, they will miss an opportunity to win over people.
Therefore, everyone looked at each other, and Wang Wen took the lead.
"Your Majesty is wise. If this is the case, then after I go down, I will organize a ministry meeting to sort out the list of vacant official positions in the capital and submit it to the emperor."
Hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly and said.
"Well, in addition to sorting out the list, we also need to discuss a selection criteria for promotion. There must be reasons why these official positions in Beijing are vacant. Now that they need to be added, some criteria can be relaxed slightly. It doesn't have to be too much.
Too harsh."
"Of course, which standards can be implemented and which ones cannot be implemented still need to be discussed in detail."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present immediately cheered up. With their political acumen, they naturally realized that this was the biggest key to this matter.
The current situation is that there are many official positions vacant in the imperial court. However, if you want to promote people to the top, the people below often fail to meet the standards due to various reasons. Therefore, now, a temporary standard must be drawn up to replace the original selection.
The standards are slightly modified to increase the number of official positions.
So in this case, how this standard is modified will, to a large extent, determine what kind of person will be selected in the end.
Take qualifications as an example. The problem with most official positions nowadays is that the people under them are not qualified enough. So, the qualifications can be relaxed, but it cannot be relaxed in vain. There are no longer strict requirements on qualifications. So in other aspects,
There are always higher requirements.
There is a lot to say about how to improve this requirement and which aspect or aspects it should be added to. To give a simple example, if outstanding virtues are used as the standard, then officials who are well-rated among scholars will be
Take advantage of.
If you use outstanding ability as the standard, you will be more confident if you have outstanding local political performance. Going down to a specific official position, you should pay more attention to a certain aspect. If you are particularly outstanding in a certain aspect, you can ignore his other shortcomings.
, these things need to be finalized one by one.
Nowadays, these important ministers in the palace have different career experiences and naturally different personal connections. Which aspect the final standard leans towards will mean how big a piece of meat they can get in this promotion.
Therefore, all the ministers present naturally began to think about how they should take the lead...
Of course, the civil service is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel. Therefore, the first version of this standard must be drafted by the Ministry of Personnel first, and then they can participate in it and start discussions. Therefore, there is no rush. They still have many
When you have time, you can go back and consider it carefully.
Seeing that everyone present had completely forgotten the matter of Tingtui, Zhu Qiyu had a smile on his lips, but it was fleeting, and instead he quickly frowned, looking at the people below.
He glanced at it and asked, slightly surprised.
"Why isn't Jin Shangshu here?"
Everyone was awakened by this question, but they didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it was common for courtiers to take leave and be absent, and they themselves would also be absent sometimes.
Of course, the emperor had to answer questions, so many people looked at Wang Wen who was aside, and the latter immediately stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, Jin Shangshu is ill today, so he took a day off."
Originally, everyone thought that the emperor was just asking a casual question, but what they didn't expect was that after hearing this, the emperor seemed to think of something and continued.
"I remember, Jin Shangshu took leave a few days ago, and today he took leave again, but the illness last time has not healed yet?"
Ah this...
Wang Wen below was also a little speechless. You should know that he was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, not the doctor of Jin Lian's family. The other party asked for leave. At most, he could only keep it in mind in case the emperor asked about it.
, but where does he know where the other party is sick and whether it is serious or not?
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Wang Wen could only answer honestly.
"Your Majesty, I don't know this, but Jin Shangshu has indeed asked for leave several times in the past month or so. It is possible that he has some disease that is easy to recur..."
As soon as these words came out, there were already a few people in the palace who vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
The people present were all human beings. Although they had not reacted just now, the emperor suddenly asked why Jin Lian was not here, and he asked repeatedly, which made them instinctively feel a little strange.
Of course, they just felt that something was wrong, and most people still didn't think about it deeply. However, if someone saw Chen Xun's face next to him at this moment, they would find that the latter's expression was quite surprising.
The changes in the expressions of everyone below naturally fell into Zhu Qiyu's eyes, so he decided to add more fire, nodded and said.
"Jin Shangshu is an important minister in the court, and his physical condition cannot be ignored. I will send an imperial doctor to him later to diagnose and treat him. All the ministers and Jin Shangshu are colleagues in the court together. If Jin Shangshu is really seriously ill,
, you should also go and visit."
"yes……"
Everyone below responded one after another, and the strange feeling in their hearts became stronger. They felt more and more that the emperor's behavior today was unusual.
Therefore, almost all of them made a decision in an instant. After returning home, they must personally go to Jin Lian's house to find out what happened.
Seeing that the heat was coming, Zhu Qiyu did not dwell too much on this matter, leaned back and said.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time for the prince to observe government affairs. How do you feel about it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone quickly calmed down. They did not expect that the emperor's mind would jump so fast. While he was still concerned about the health of the ministers, he began to examine the little prince.
Having said that, let's not mention Jin Lian's matter for the moment. Why the emperor suddenly called the prince to this occasion is still a question mark.
Therefore, almost immediately, everyone cheered up again and looked at the little prince beside him...
Of course, after all, the current young prince is only seven or eight years old. Although he has been studying in the cabinet for several years and has learned some government affairs, but if you want him to express his views on such important events in the DPRK,
Obviously there are still some limitations.
However, royal education is still useful after all. Although the prince is still young, he has been baptized by countless sutra banquets. Faced with this kind of occasion, he can still hold his own and is not too nervous.
At this moment, after hearing the emperor's question, Zhu Jianshen's originally stern little face revealed a somewhat serious look, he bowed his hands and said.
"Returning to the emperor's uncle, my nephew feels that he is wise and wise, and he is considerate of his subordinates. The gentlemen expressed their opinions and devoted themselves to the country, which made my nephew feel that it was quite beneficial."
It can be seen from these words that the young prince already has some basic political literacy. He is here to listen today, so even if the emperor asks questions, he cannot really express his views on specific government affairs.
But it’s impossible not to say it, so at this time, exaggeration is the best way to use it.
The emperor is wise, the ministers are loyal, the monarch and his ministers are harmonious, and the prince is humble. This is the best answer.
It can also be seen from this point that although this is an emergency situation, Donggong must have given similar teachings to the prince in daily teaching, so the prince will not be in a hurry now.
In front of so many ministers, Zhu Qiyu did not mean to embarrass the prince, but nodded and said.
"That's right. The prince is the crown prince of the country and is responsible for the great responsibilities of the country. Therefore, he should be diligent. Now all the ministers in the palace are the pillars of the country. The prince is still young. If you listen to politics in the future, you should be open-minded when you encounter something you don't understand.
consult."
These words were serious and sincere, which also reassured the ministers present. Perhaps the emperor just wanted to show the harmony of the Tian family and the stability of the throne by calling the prince here this time?
However, the government and the public have been quiet recently, and there seems to be no rumors related to the prince. Why would the emperor suddenly do this?
"Uncle Emperor, don't worry, my nephew understands."
The little prince bowed respectfully, with impeccable etiquette.
However, at this moment, the emperor suddenly asked again.
"I remember that all the ministers in this palace gave you lectures at the sutra banquet, right? Since the prince is here today, why not tell me which gentleman here do you like best?"
The ministers present all bear the title of the Prince's Third Master or the Prince's Third Young Master. Although they are not considered to be subordinate officials of the East Palace, according to the old practice, they will also give lectures to the Prince at the Sutra Banquet every once in a while.
read.
However, at this time, the emperor asked the prince this question, which made the ministers feel relieved again. For a moment, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes. What is the emperor selling in this gourd?
What kind of medicine is it?
Is this question directed at the prince, or... at them?
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the palace became a little awkward. The little prince blinked his eyes. This time, he felt a little at a loss and subconsciously looked at Yu Shiyue who was aside.
In comparison, the latter was much calmer. He smiled gently at the prince and looked at him encouragingly. This made the little prince less nervous. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said.
"The gentlemen are all very good and knowledgeable. They are very careful when explaining to my nephew. When my nephew has questions, they explain them very clearly. I have learned a lot from them.
thing."
This sounds a bit perfunctory, but for a seven or eight-year-old child, it is already a good answer.
However, the emperor obviously had no intention of giving up. He glanced at the ministers below, and finally his eyes fell on the young prince, and he smiled.
"My question is wrong. There are so many people. It's hard for the prince to say which gentleman is the best. In that case, the prince might as well tell you what you think are the differences in the styles of these gentlemen who are reading to you..."
