Chapter 834: Time is out of my mind (Part 2)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The impression of Zhao Zhenji in silence still stayed at the ten-mile long pavilion that year. Mr. Zhao, who retired for the second time, gave him the book "Mencius".

However, after entering the cabinet this time, Mr. Zhao was completely different from the previous ones. Many people said that he was due to his unbalance when he saw that the front was all juniors. But Chen Si knew that this old man was not so superficial, and the irritability he deliberately showed was actually just a means. The reassurance and silence of Zhao Zhenji's gratitude memorial to the cabinet that day was read by him. This old man vowed to "all the border affairs of the court, and he was ready to fight for this and rectify state affairs" to be absolutely not fake. And the reason why he wanted to rely on his seniority and domineering was that he had only one purpose, which was to establish his own authority.

As the oldest cabinet minister who ranks low in the cabinet, if he wants to wait step by step, it will probably be possible in his next life. Only when he is about to break out like a firecracker, people dare not provoke him and always show his qualifications, can he have the right to speak. This is almost the only way that he can do if he wants to express his voice and make some achievements in his current position.

It is no secret that Zhao Zhenji has talent and enthusiasm for serving the country is true, but he is a person outside of sixty. In addition to his dominance in his actions, he is conservative and stable in his thoughts in governing the country. In the current cabinet, he, Li Chunfang, Chen Yiqin and others follow the Xu Jie route without Xu Jie, which has become the biggest obstacle to reform and reform.

In order to expel Xu Jie, Chen Mo has already paid so much, and now he cannot appreciate Zhao Zhenji's character and prevent Gao Gong from attacking him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After making plans that night, Gao Gong returned to the Ministry of Personnel the next day. This day was July 11, the second year of Longqing, and was regarded as the Great Reform of Longwan by later generations...

Before this, the two chief ministers, Xu Jie and Li Chunfang, focused only on correcting the serious deviations of the Jiajing Dynasty. Although they had made some adjustments and mediations on social and government issues, they never dared to touch the "ancestors to achieve the law" on major institutional issues. Everything was to follow the old rules. When encountering contradictions, they never dared to test major reforms on the overall issue.

If it were the chief assistant of Silence, the result would not be much different. At least at this stage, he did not think that this should be the time for himself to make a comeback. Fortunately, his greatest advantage is that he can give the helmsman's position to a more suitable person. Only those with great courage, courage, and wisdom, who act decisively and courageously, can they open up a new situation. Looking at the court and the country, Chen defaults to Gao Gong as the most suitable person, so he will support him without reservation.

Whether reform can be carried out and whether the reform can work, the key to success or failure is to employ people. Therefore, rectification of personnel has become an urgent task. It is really the most appropriate for Gao Gong to do this. He is the first-class Minister of Personnel. As soon as he arrived at the ministry, he immediately convened a meeting of all officials. Without greetings or nonsense, he showed off his sword as soon as he came up.

He first severely criticized the personnel performance evaluation system implemented over the past two hundred years, believing that every three years of examination is considered to be promoted and demoted. In nine years, officials were dismissed due to death, worry, accidents, and promotions, and promotions again and again due to smooth careers. It is difficult to take a long term. How can we wait for the third exam in nine years of the original position? Therefore, the so-called performance evaluation becomes only promotion but not decline, which is a "substantial ritual for the performance evaluation and dismissal". What is even more absurd is that whenever the examination is conducted, the number of officials who have been sent to be equal, and if the number is not enough, they will be remedyed. Gao Gong sharply questioned a officials of the Ministry of Personnel and said: "How can there be a certain number in the world for six years? It can be seen that it is just someone who has done things for the sake of mercy!" It made a shameful official of the official.

But Gao Gong never gave face to those who dereliction of duty. He further pointed out: "Even those officials who are considered unfilial, the Ministry of Personnel is just demanding the secret and detailed story; while the real evil people do not dare to ask and pretend to be ignorant, and even turn black and white into black, and call it noble. Such an investigation is nothing more than "just a tiger or wolf on the way, looking for a fox and a rat to block the responsibility, and this person's heart is dissatisfied!"

In response to the above situation, he asked the Ministry of Personnel to firstly employ people according to their affairs, and not to establish positions according to their personalities; emphasized that only talent is to be used according to their talents, and that mediocre and greedy people are not allowed to fill in the numbers and be confused in the officialdom; secondly, he emphasized that speaking of merits and crimes is determined to be dismissed, and advocated to do practical affairs with a solid heart; thirdly, he did not use the imperial examination ranking as the main criterion for employment, but to employ people based on their performance.

To this end, Gao Gong repeatedly and strictly declared personnel discipline, such as: all officials who have been appointed but have not been appointed will be dismissed and demoted; corrupt officials who have been verified and evidence will not be reinstated; and those who have been impeached by the Ministry of Justice must verify the evidence before disposing of the redundant personnel; those who have faked officials will be severely punished; those who violate the law will be punished with third grade; officials of the Ministry of Personnel will be required to compile the names and origins of all officials, and at the same time note the virtuous below, so that talents can be obtained as soon as they are asked, so as to avoid being used by non-human. Of course, officials who give evaluations must be responsible for their evaluation, and once they use non-human, they will be punished, etc.

Before the meeting ended, there were already slandering... The Ministry of Personnel is the most powerful and most profitable department among the six ministries. Many officials of the Ministry of Personnel rely on their personnel power to favor other officials and even make great benefits. But if they do this according to Gao Gong's scheme, it would be even more offensive than the Censorate. When they think of complying with the Qingshuiya, the officials thought, "Why are you still going to be hurried?"

So a doctor pretended to be brave and asked, "Midang, there were no such rules before."

Gao Gong glanced at him and said, "Are you new here?"

The doctor said in a daze: "Yes, the lower officials have been in the province and were transferred to the Ministry last year."

"No wonder." Gao Gong stretched out his big hand and patted his shoulder and said, "When I was a Shilang, I said something to your ex. Now you can listen to me, I will only say it once."

The doctor looked at the scrubbing look and heard Gao Gong say in a deep voice: "Remember, after I have myself, I have rules!"

After saying that, he ignored the dumbfounded doctor and walked out of the hall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have good skills, you must first sharpen your tools.

Gao Gong's weapon was the Ministry of Personnel, which decided to appoint and remove officials from promotion. Therefore, before rectifying other yamen, he had to first read the officials in the headquarters.

At first, I heard that he was going to inspect the headquarters. The officials were also somewhat lucky while worried. I thought it was just three things that the new official took office. Could it be that your tall beard can remove us? Who will work for you?

However, they all underestimated Gao Gong's courage. After all, he had been in the Ministry of Personnel for many years and knew the ministry's affairs well. He knew even the qualities of many officials. Therefore, in just one month, he sorted out the Ministry of Personnel and swept all the corrupt, mediocre, cowardly, and miserable people, and actually accounted for one-third of the entire headquarters.

Moreover, the consequences of these people are not for external demotion, but for all dismissals on the spot, and those who violate the law will be transferred to the judicial department.

Now these officials are quitting. Everyone is just a waste of money. How can you lose people's jobs? So they united and used an empty yamen to fight Gao Gong in the situation of collective leave, forcing him to revoke his decision, or let the court change his minister... These unsightly guys are confused about the situation and try to use the law to resist Gao Gong's authority.

There were many people who had this thought at that time. On the day they agreed to the empty yamen, the deposed officials were at the mouth of the yamen early in the morning to stop their colleagues who wanted to enter and said to them: "We have been dismissed from office. We are doing this to save you. If we surrender this time, he will give you another sentence in the future. Don't regret not standing on our side this time." After they said this, the rest of the officials were not able to force them in, so they could only stand outside and wait and see before talking.

Until the middle of the Mao period, there was still no one in the Yam...

Because he was a senior secretary and a department in Wuying Hall, Gao Gong always sat in the cabinet in the morning and returned to the department in the afternoon. When the incident happened, he was attending a regular court meeting in the cabinet. It seemed that in order to make him make a fool of himself, the officials who came to report did not mean to say hello to him first, but reported to the prime minister in public.

After learning about this, Li Chunfang's face was a little strange, and looked at Gao Gong and said, "If you don't want Brother Zhongxuan to deal with it first."

Gao Gong stood up with a dark face and walked out without saying a word.

Seeing him walking out, Shen Mo thought about it and stood up and said, "I'll accompany Mr. Gao."

"Okay," Li Chunfang said: "Gaoge is impatient, so Mr. Shen should persuade him more."

"I understand." Shen Mo nodded and walked out of the hall, but could no longer see Gao Gong's figure. He couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "What a thunderbolt fire."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Gao Gong appeared on the street of the Ministry of Personnel, he saw that there were already crowds of people watching, and his face couldn't help but become darker. He ordered the guards to separate the crowd and come to the front of the yamen.

Seeing the appearance of the tribe, the two men, the doctors, the officials who did not participate, and the officials, all bowed solemnly.

Gao Gongli ignored them and walked to the infringing rebels. The names of people and the shadow of trees appeared in front of him. The momentum of the rebels suddenly turned three points, but they looked at him with a slutty and frightened. The questions they had thought could not be said.

Gao Gong looked at them coldly and said in a deep voice: "What are your identities? Why are you wearing my Ming Dynasty official uniform?"

He was also the best. He ignited the anger of those people in one sentence, and they shouted angrily: "We are officials of the Ming Dynasty, why can't we wear the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty?"

"How can I remember that you have all been dismissed from office and delisted?" Gao Gong sneered.

"We are officials of the Ming Dynasty, why do you just cut it if you say it?"

"Just because I am the Minister of Personnel, I have the right to decide whether to stay or leave officials below the fifth rank!" Gao Gong said coldly: "Are there anyone in red robes among you?"

"..." The official blocked the mén said angrily: "That is your life that abuses your power, and you cannot do it accurately!"

"Abuse of power?" Gao Gong laughed and said, "Who dares to stand up and say that he is wronged. I can consider taking back Cheng's life!"

"This..." The officials made him speechless, and after a while, a faint voice came out: "Who comes out to be an official, who is clean? Why do you have to catch us?"

"It's really a big deal. Do you want to eat shit if others eat shit?" Gao Gongji pointed at the official who spoke and said, "If you don't clean up your worm that is common to abuse the law, it's hard to tolerate it!"

As he said that, he said to the soldier in the ministry, "Are you planning to fight against me?"

The soldiers showed hesitation. They really didn't know who would win the final victory of this confrontation, and how dare they offend one side rashly? The leading Baihu said, "We are just guardians, how dare we get involved in the affairs of the adults."

"Are you guarding me like this?" Gao Gong's hair and beard were all open and said, "Let them block the big meshes so much that they can't get through?"

"This..." The Baihu made a fuss and knelt down to Gao Gong and kowtowed: "If someone else came to cause trouble, we would have taken it off long ago, but these are all adults in the headquarters, so we must not dare to act rashly!"

"Okay, okay..." Gao Gong then realized that his authority as the Minister of Personnel was really ridiculous. Even the soldiers guarding Mén dared to shirk responsibility to him. He couldn't help but laughed in anger: "It seems that he really wants to rebel..."

At this time, I heard a noise from the crowd, and saw the officers and soldiers of the Military and Ma Si arrive one after another. In a blink of an eye, they separated the crowd and then gave up a passage. Shen Mo appeared beside him, accompanied by Zhou Youdao, the censor of the city.

"You're here just right..." Gao Gong trembled with anger: "These husky things are going to make me rebellious."

"Then let's change to some obedient soldiers." Shen Mo tilted his head and looked at Zhou Youdao and said, "Mr. Zhou, what do you think you should do?"

Zhou Youdao said with a serious look on his face: "It depends on the instructions of the two cabinet masters."

"Okay." Seeing that Shen Mo and Zhou Youdao both looked at him, Gao Gong said, "Master Zhou, you have blocked the yamen without authorization and hindered normal office work. What should we do?"

"Report to Master Ge." Zhou Youdao had already received the face-to-face advice from his immediate boss. Knowing that this time he came, he was to support Gao Gong, so he said in a deep voice: "According to the law, he should take it down immediately and send it to the court for interrogation. If there are those who resist the law, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Then I won't do it..." Gao Gong said with a cold look.
