Mo Chou, the Minister of Civil Service, was in a particularly good mood today. Regarding the resignation, the Zhao family had already spoken out, so he had no worries.

Not long after, Zhou Yi and others arrived at the Ministry of Officials.

I heard that Zhao Guan's family came back today, and I also heard that some officials had gone to the Ministry of Personnel to make trouble.

So officials from other yamen also took action, and even some idle officials also took action.

"No, Mo Shangshu, they are here to resign again."

What?

Resigning again?

"Go quickly, go to the Audit Court and tell me someone is here to submit your resignation."

As soon as Lu Zai came back from meeting Zhao Ding in the Youpushe Hall and stepped into the door of the Audit Court, people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs came.

"Land official."

"What's the matter?"

"Mo Shangshu asked you to pay a visit to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Many officials came to submit their resignations."

Lu Zai was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered what Zhao Ding had just discussed with him.

From today on, all resignations of officials in the capital will be reported to the Ministry of Personnel first, and then the Audit Court will intervene in the audit. If there are no problems in the audit, the Ministry of Personnel will file it again. After the Ministry of Personnel filing is completed, it will be submitted to the Pushe Hall.

Now the resignations of officials in the capital need to be audited, but in fact the order Lu Zai received is that from now on, all resignations of officials in the entire Song Dynasty must be audited.

Therefore, it is urgent to set up audit departments in various roads and state governments.

It is said that this is part of the Zhao family's anti-corruption campaign today.

Lu Zai couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that the officials were serious about anti-corruption, more seriously than any Zhao official in history.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Lu Zai took several officials from the Audit Court and quickly arrived at the Zuoxuan Yamen of the Ministry of Personnel.

There were four types of officials in the Song Dynasty.

The Minister of Personnel chooses from the left, the Minister of Personnel chooses from the left, the Minister of Personnel chooses from the right, and the Minister of Personnel chooses from the right.

They each bear different responsibilities.

Middle and high-level civil servants are under the supervision of Zuoxuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. For example, the appointment of ministers, ministers, and doctors must go to the Zuoxuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and then submit them to the Political Affairs Hall.

The lower-level civil servants are under the charge of Zuo Xuan, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

The mid-level and senior military officers are under the right selection of the Minister of Civil Affairs. For example, Yue Fei's champion general went to the right selection of the Minister of Civil Affairs and reported to the Privy Council or the Military and Political Council.

The lower-level military attachés are selected by the Minister of Civil Affairs and then submitted to the Privy Council or the Military and Political Council.

The Song Dynasty had a strict distinction between civil and military affairs, and the personnel procedures for middle- and upper-level officials and lower-level officials were also clearly distinguished.

For example, mid-level civil servants such as local magistrates and prefecture magistrates are elected from the left in the political affairs hall.

The Six Cao Cao of the state government, like the Shi Cao who joined the army, were reported by local officials, and the Minister of Civil Affairs chose this route.

By the time Lu Zai arrived at the Libu Yamen, the Libu Yamen was already busier than ever.

He was shocked as he did not expect that so many officials wanted to resign.

At first glance, there must be nearly a hundred people, blocking the official office.

"Mo Shangshu, Auditor Lu is here, at the back door."

Mo Chuan immediately ran to the back door with a smile on his face. He was here to help him solve his trouble.

"Audit Lu, come on, please come from the front."

At this time, Li Chunyou, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was speaking in front: "I can understand your feelings of wanting to resign!"

"But don't forget, why do we read the books of sages? It is to serve the court, assist the king in governing the world, and educate all people!"

"You are resigning so rashly. Do you deserve His Majesty's trust in you?"

Zhu Changqing, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, said: "Li Shilang, it is because we read the books of sages and shared the emperor's worries that we had to resign?"

"Oh, how do you say this?"

Zhu Changqing said: "Today, treacherous ministers are in power, all righteous people suffer injustice, the government is corrupt, and the world is boiling. We don't want to be associated with villains!"

Li Changsu, the head of the Household Department, said: "We don't want to associate with villains!"

His words immediately ignited the other officials. They all seemed to transform into messengers of justice in an instant, and their emotions immediately rushed to their heads.

There were also a few people who were almost moved to tears on the spot.

Li Chunyou said: "You are indeed upright and upright. Your Majesty has returned to Beijing. I will report this matter to Your Majesty and I will never let you suffer unjustly."

Zhou Yi, a doctor in the Privy Council's Ministry of War, said: "Please allow us to resign!"

Li Chunyou sighed: "Don't be impulsive..."

The atmosphere was getting heated, and Lu Zai, Mo Chu and others arrived.

When everyone saw Mo Chou coming, they all said, "Mo Shangshu, we are here to resign."

Mo Chou muttered: "Didn't you already submit your resignation before? Why do you keep writing it?"

Everyone immediately became excited and said, "Please give me permission, Lord Mo."

Zhu Changqing, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, jumped out again: "Mo Shangshu must approve it!"

Li Chunyou immediately said to the side: "Don't be impulsive!"

Li Chunyou said to Mo Chou again: "Mo Shangshu, these people have no place to redress their grievances. Now that His Majesty is back..."

"Wait a minute, Minister Li, leave this matter to me." Mo Chou interrupted Li Chunyou.

He looked at Zhu Changqing and said, "Mr. Zhu, come, come, come to me."

Zhu Changqing hesitated for a moment and walked over.

"This is Auditor Lu Zailu. Starting today, officials who submit their resignations will be recorded by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The Audit Commission will conduct an audit of your resignations, including personal money, farmland, real estate, gold and silver, antique calligraphy and paintings, and

Their origins.”

As soon as he said these words, the expressions of everyone present changed.

Especially Zhu Changqing, who was so righteous just now, now looks pale.

"Come, Mr. Zhu, please stand over here. Auditor Lu, please arrange for someone to do the audit for Mr. Zhu."

Lu Zai said: "Don't worry, the people in the Audit Institute are always serious in their work. They will definitely not make mistakes in their review. Every transaction will be checked clearly."

It’s fried!

Completely blown away!

Zhou Yi, a doctor in the Privy Council's Ministry of War, immediately shouted loudly: "This is distrust of us. This... this is sowing discord between the king and his ministers!"

"Yes! We read the books of sages and are strict with ourselves. How can we be greedy and helpless? This is a distrust of us! This will destroy Chao Gang!"

"Don't worry, everyone. In recent years, corrupt officials have become rampant, so the court needs to resign more officials for audits. This is to prevent corrupt officials, not to target you."

Mo Chou is worthy of being a top scholar, and his mind is spinning very fast: "I naturally believe that you are honest and upright. Since you are all honest officials, why should you worry about the Audit Court's audit?"

Zhou Yi still wanted to speak: "This..."

"Is it possible that Mr. Zhou is afraid that the Audit Court will uncover some shameful deeds?"

What Mo Chou is best at is immediately raising the issue to a moral level.

Last night, when Zhao Ning raised the issue of resignation audit, he said on the spot that anyone who disagreed had something to do with it.

Zhou Yi immediately had nothing to say.

Others had nothing to say.

Zhou Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have a lot of official business to deal with today, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time."

When other people saw this posture, they immediately said: "Yes, there are still many official matters to be dealt with, so I'll take my leave."

Even Zhu Changqing ran away, and the staff soon became depleted.

This matter reached Zhao Ning's ears, and Zhao Ning smiled.

If you say you want to resign, you will resign, and if you say you don’t want to resign, you won’t resign?

Zhao Ning said: "Don't the Ministry of Personnel have a list? All officials on the list will start the audit and directly notify them to cooperate without asking for their consent."
Chapter completed!
