After Lu Zheng reported his results, the faces of many civil servants turned earth-colored.
The most shocking thing is that in the examination paper of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, I only got a D grade and failed.
The dignified third-grade official's face turned dark.
Some officials were dissatisfied, so Feng Danyuan took out the examination paper on the spot, argued with him point by point, and argued with him until he turned pale and lost all face.
Seeing this slap in the face, the Minister of Household Affairs could not say anything.
Facing the complicated looks of confusion or sympathy from his colleagues, Shangshu could only grit his teeth and pretend to be calm.
However, reporting results is only the first wave of impact.
King Chen quickly sent the second wave: "Officials of grade E will be evaluated and dismissed from their posts; grade D, officials will be demoted two levels and return to the government to wait for a new appointment letter; grade C, officials will be demoted one level and will also return to the government to wait for news;
For B-level students, their salary will be reduced by one-third until they get A-level grades in the next exam; for A-level students, they will wait for a new appointment letter."
The whole court was in an uproar.
Cintiq is under too much pressure.
In this assessment, Grades A and B only accounted for 10%, Grade C accounted for 50%, Grade D accounted for 20%, and Grade E accounted for 10%.
In other words, 90% of officials will be punished. Even if the salary reductions are removed, there will still be 80%!
But this matter cannot be blamed on King Chen. As the king of a country, he reviewed the examination papers of all officials overnight, and the officials with problems did indeed have problems.
"Your Majesty, do you want to use one assessment to evaluate your minister's performance over the years?!" the Minister of Civil Affairs burst into tears.
Like the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, he was awarded Ding and so on.
The new emperor didn't know how to persuade him.
It is true that he did not do well in the exam, but as he said, being demoted two levels in one assessment is indeed a bit cruel for an official who spent more than ten years to be promoted to the fourth rank.
Feng Danyuan spoke: "This assessment has been given to me by the Emperor. If you have any objections, just ask me. Sir Lu, I asked you the question just now: If you feel that one assessment cannot fairly evaluate you.
If you can get a second grade in the extra examination, everything will remain the same, and even your salary will not be reduced."
"This -" Mr. Lu was accustomed to crying, but when Feng Danyuan said this, he was in trouble.
If he takes an extra test, he may not be able to get a B grade; if he doesn't have to take an extra test, then he shouldn't stand up and cry.
"What I mean is that an official's political performance cannot be determined by an assessment on a piece of paper." Mr. Lu has been involved in officialdom for many years, and his reaction is also very quick.
Feng Danyuan nodded: "What Mr. Lu said makes sense. Relying on ten questions to determine the promotion or demotion of officials is indeed unconvincing. In this case, since you mentioned the word 'political achievements', let's talk about political achievements. You have
What political achievements are worth mentioning?”
Mr. Lu is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is affiliated to the Shangshu Province and is in charge of the imperial examinations and the appointment and removal of officials.
The Ministry of Personnel evaluates hundreds of officials, and they are naturally proficient in how to put gold on their faces.
Master Lu burst into tears and talked about how he had been in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for more than ten years, how he worked diligently to recruit talents for the court, how he had the world in mind and took people's livelihood as his own responsibility. He talked endlessly. If Lu Zheng hadn't reminded him,
He couldn't stop talking.
Feng Danyuan smiled, but in the eyes of everyone, his smile was as cold as ice, freezing one's muscles and bones.
"I'm afraid you believe what Mr. Lu said? Yes, you have been lying to yourself for a long time, can you not believe it? But -"
The momentum all over his body also became fierce, and he said word by word: "I don't believe it."
