Regardless of the petty thoughts of those civil servants, the court meeting continued.
Prime Minister Chao Cuo came out and said: "I died in ignorance to report to your majesty: Your majesty issued an edict to ministers and others: all things are different, and how they are used for people are different..." He first repeated the content of the edict just now, with the same tone and demeanor.
It was very impressive to those later generations of bureaucrats who quoted the spirit of their superiors' instructions and xx's speech (actually the essence is similar), and then kowtowed: "I heard the holy precepts, and the world was deeply happy. With your majesty's holy virtue, why worry about three generations not coming...
"
Chao Cuo's flattery skills improved a lot after he became prime minister.
There is nothing that can be done about it. As the prime minister, he does not have as deep a foundation and emotions as his predecessor Zhou Yafu.
If you want to secure your position, you must do everything possible to have a good relationship with Liu Che, and do everything possible to gain Liu Che's support and trust.
Because he is the prime minister, the prime minister who presides over state affairs.
With a high position and high authority, it is inevitable that there will be criticism and attacks.
If you are not careful, you may be suspected and suspected.
Unlike Zhou Yafu, who, as prime minister, was also the head of Wuyuan Mountain and the chief minister of Gantang, a wine worshiper, and was deeply trusted by Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.
So you don’t have to flatter the horse, you don’t have to work in the camp, you can go against the emperor.
His own prestige is enough for him to suppress the nine ministers, subdue the county, make the ministers avoid the way, and order the ministers to surrender.
But what about his Chao Cuo?
Not only did he not have these conditions, but he also had a bunch of enemies who wanted to see him die.
Confucian scholars, nobles of the Huang Lao sect, as well as eunuchs and civil servants inside and outside the court who once deeply hated him.
Whenever the owner of Weiyang Palace distrusts him, he even becomes a little suspicious.
Then his end will definitely be miserable!
Although the Han Dynasty had a system of not humiliating generals and prime ministers, in this world, the most cruel thing to kill is never a knife, but a pen.
What happened to Zhang Ou? Everyone knows.
Besides, Chao Cuo is not alone.
What he maintained behind his back was the reputation and future of the entire Legalist family.
Therefore, even if he doesn't like to flatter others, he has to study and research.
Fortunately, this person is relatively easy to serve, and there is no need to be too deliberate in trying to please him, let alone doing anything explicit.
As long as you have the right attitude, you can win favor.
Sure enough, as soon as Chao Cuo finished saying these words, Liu Che became extremely happy and had a bright smile on his face, which was very helpful.
When Chao Cuo saw this, he immediately continued: "I am a despicable minister, but fortunately Your Majesty will not give up. Do you dare to sacrifice yourself and die for Your Majesty? I would like to submit the last year's performance appraisal list of the Prime Minister's Office for Your Majesty's inspection..."
With that said, Chao Cuo took out a memorial from his arms and presented it in his hand.
This was also the rule established six years after Yuan De. The performance evaluation of all officials should start with the Prime Minister's Office.
The Prime Minister's Office must first conduct self-examination, self-correction and self-assessment.
In order to prevent this kind of self-examination and self-correction from becoming superficial and becoming a formality, Liu Che even stipulated that the performance appraisal of the Prime Minister's Office should be personally responsible for the performance evaluation of the Prime Minister's Office, and an accountability system should be adopted.
In other words, during the performance appraisal, the problems were found and solved, which is the credit of Chang Shi.
However, once problems are discovered after the performance appraisal, it will be Chang Shi's own fault for his lax review.
In the Han family system, the history of the prime minister and the prime minister himself share weal and woe, misfortunes and blessings.
If something goes wrong with Chang Shi, the Prime Minister can’t escape!
If the board is knocked down, even if the muscles and bones are not injured, the face will definitely be shaved off.
This forced the Prime Minister's Office itself to pay attention to this matter.
It involves the future of Wu Shamao and even his life. Who dares not to be careful?
Liu Che received the memorial from a servant, opened it and looked at it. Naturally, what Chao Cuo presented was only a brief summary of the performance appraisal of the Prime Minister's Office.
The whole article only has more than a thousand words. It just mentions some key points and highlights, talks about the main achievements and major problems discovered by the Prime Minister's Office in the past year, and makes a brief arrangement for the work in the coming year.
The specific data and key files have naturally been sealed in Lantai for a long time, and are being reviewed page by page by the ministers.
Once a problem is discovered, it will be reported to Liu Che, who will then send someone to investigate.
Once the problem is found, the relevant people will wait to be reprimanded!
And the memorial that Chao Cuo has handed over now contains a lot of useful information.
At least, just by looking at the content of this memorial, Liu Che could almost know what Chao Cuo had done and achieved when he took office last year, and he had a mental understanding of Chao Cuo's work.
This is enough!
The emperor only needs to grasp the key points, grasp the strategy, and grasp the layout.
Specific affairs will naturally be executed and deployed by specific officials.
The Han Dynasty has also formed a relatively mature self-execution system. Even if there is a problem, there are censors, Yamen and Xiuyiwei watching over it.
"Prime Minister, thank you for your hard work..." Liu Che closed the memorial and said with a smile: "This year, the ministers of the Prime Minister's Office still need to continue to work hard..."
"Nuo..." Chao Cuo heard this and put down the stone in his heart. After he took office, he took many actions in the Prime Minister's Palace and made many reform measures. He was always worried that his actions might displease the emperor.
But now it seems that this person does not care about his actions in the Prime Minister's Office. He only cares about whether the Prime Minister's Office can implement policies thoroughly and efficiently.
That's good!
This will give you more space to move around and do more things!
After Chao Cuo, all departments of Jiuqing, including Louchuan General Yamen, Zhujue Duwei, Jing Zhaoyin, and Weiwei, each reported and reported their own situations.
In general, the various departments and main functional agencies of Jiuqing have done their best in the past year, at least they did not dawdle.
Even the already declining Dahonglu Yamen also took some actions, proactively streamlining its organization, and proactively dispatched a large number of officials to Makunan to cooperate with Zhidu's actions.
The ones with the most outstanding achievements are none other than Da Nong and Shaofu!
Especially for the Shaofu, the new Shaofu Qing Zhao Yu took office with three firepowers, which focused on the Shaofu's own stubborn diseases.
The six prime ministers of the Shaofu were replaced three times within half a year. More than 30 big and small rats were caught. The property confiscated amounted to tens of millions and the land amounted to 100,000 acres.
At the same time, Zhao Yu also reformed the service procedures of the Shaofu, streamlined a large number of unnecessary organizations, and at the same time eliminated hundreds of mediocre officials who were merely filling their jobs.
Although because of this, Zhao Yu was hated and hated by countless people in the young manor.
But Liu Che was very satisfied.
Specifically, at the great court meeting, Zhao Yu was given a sword handle, fifty pieces of silk and satin, and one hundred pieces of gold as a reward.
At the same time, he also sent a message to the scumbags in the Shaofu family: Don’t try to obstruct and destroy Zhao Yu’s reforms, I am the backer of the Shaofu Qing!
By the time the report from the central government departments and agencies was completed, the sun had already risen and heavy fog began to form outside the palace. Liu Che then issued an edict, ordering the government officials to invite the county and state officials and planners waiting outside the hall to come to the Xuanshi Hall.
Wait and rest in a side hall.
At the same time, the planners and officials of these counties were summoned in batches to review and judge their political achievements and government policies one by one.
If you do well, you will be rewarded and even directly promoted.
Some outstanding county magistrates were directly promoted to Princess Bo and Duyou, or even directly promoted to central government officials.
There were also particularly outstanding county guards who were highly praised by Liu Che, who increased their titles and privileges, even praised their parents and rewarded their families.
Including all these people into the list of "Xunli" of the Prime Minister's Office and the Imperial Censor's Yamen is actually the key training list of the Central Organization Department of the Han Dynasty.
The officials who have made it onto this list are all trained in the direction of future Jiuqing or heads of central agencies.
The promotion, appointment and dismissal of many people will even be directly decided by Liu Che.
Even if they commit a crime, Liu Che still has to decide whether to allow arrest.
There are successful people, and naturally there are unlucky ones.
More than a dozen county governors were reprimanded by Liu Che because their performance evaluation results were extremely unsatisfactory. Three of them were ordered to be dismissed from their posts on the spot. The best outcome for the remaining ones was to serve for their crimes.
In today's Han Dynasty, this kind of punishment for committing crimes and meritorious service was not a painless punishment like being forced to drink three glasses of wine.
First, they will all be removed from their current positions.
They will be transferred to the most difficult places in the empire, such as Munan, Changsha, and the land of Wuyue.
Secondly, all of them will be demoted, and it is not uncommon for them to be demoted directly from county guard to county magistrate.
Anyway, Liu Che doesn't have to worry about having no civil servants. Since the scale of the examinations has continued to expand, the Han Dynasty is no longer afraid of naughty scholar-bureaucrats or uncooperative bureaucrats.
If you don't cooperate, you have to be naughty. There are people who are willing to cooperate and willing to die.
And these people can line up from Hangu Pass all the way to Xiaoguan Pass.
