Pei Xingjian's depressed look disappeared, and his heart was filled with excitement.
No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince goes to the Ministry of Civil Affairs Yamen every day to check the numbers. He quietly does not argue with anyone. He just moves countless entries in the account books to the check-in room and reads them carefully, or talks to a waiter or a doctor. It turns out that he is just here.
Prepare quietly.
Going against the trend will not only cost too much, but also face many obstacles. We will wait for His Majesty to lead the expedition in person. The entire court will be under the supervision of the Crown Prince. If we follow the trend, we will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
Fang Jun asked again: "Has His Highness ever promoted you to the position of Doctor of the Ministry of Finance? Are there any obstacles to this from others?"
Pei Xingjian hurriedly said: "The last transfer order in the Yamen years ago has been issued by His Highness, which is to appoint a humble doctor as a doctor in the Ministry of Finance. At this time, the appointment has been sent to the Ministry of Personnel, and it needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Personnel before it can be approved. But now
It’s already the end of the year, and various yamen have begun to deny official duties one after another. It will take until the end of the year to issue petitions and grant seals.”
The official promotion system of the Tang Dynasty was very strict.
Officials of grade five or above who have passed the examination of the Ministry of Personnel and have been approved by the Minister of Public Affairs will report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The examination results will be read by Gai Shizhong and inspected by the Huangmen Shilang. After examination, the minister will report to the emperor and then return to the Ministry of Personnel for execution.
Those who were appointed officials came from various sources and even ministers gave them a letter, and stamped the letter with the inscription "The Seal of Gao Shen of the Ministry of Officials and Ministers", which was called Gao Shen.
In this procedure, it seems that the Ministry of Personnel does not have the right to decide on official promotion, but it does have the right to propose. That is to say, no matter which official it is, it must pass the "examination" of the Ministry of Personnel and then be submitted to the higher level before it is possible to be promoted.
, otherwise there will be no nominations and the process will not even go through.
Although officials below the fifth rank can be directly appointed by the Ministry of Personnel, they must also go through a complete process within them.
The person will be retained based on his/her merits, and a draft will be made for it. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the left and right ministers, and the heads of the Ministry of Personnel all agree and can only be appointed after signing and sealing.
The official appointment system is so cumbersome, naturally in order to better supervise the appointment of officials and effectively control the administration of officials. In fact, in the early Tang Dynasty, it was able to follow this system carefully and maintain the integrity and efficiency of the official team, and the administration of officials was very good.
It's Qingming.
After Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty came to power, he began to make decisions arbitrarily. He gradually lost touch with morality and ability assessment, and instead focused more on likes and dislikes, which led to the decentralization of officialdom and the entry of more corrupt officials into the officialdom, which shook the foundation of the empire.
Therefore, it is said that freezing three feet did not happen in a day. The extremely powerful Tang Empire was finally annihilated in the hands of the vassal towns, but it could not be achieved overnight. The previous corruption of the court officials led to the disunity of the people and the complaints of the people. As a result, the vassal towns rebelled.
The collective response was also one of the antecedents.
Fang Jun was a little dissatisfied: "A mere official of the fifth rank has been delayed for such a long time without being officially appointed? Anyway, there are some things that His Highness can't come forward to avoid being targeted by those censors, so let someone
Let's do it. Let's go, I will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs with you to see who is causing trouble. Even the King of Jiangxia County is helpless."
Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, was a staunch supporter of the prince. It stands to reason that Pei Xingjian's appointment was based on the prince's oral instructions. As the official minister, Li Daozong should handle the matter in a special way and report Pei Xingjian as soon as possible.
As a result, since Pei Xingjian was transferred back to Chang'an, the prosecution has been delayed. Apparently someone in the official department tried hard to delay it, and even Li Daozong had to postpone it.
Pei Xingjian was startled, thinking that Bangchui had lost his temper, so he quickly said: "There are rules for the appointment and dismissal of imperial officials. Isn't it true to come to the door in such a grand manner? Anyway, I will be dismissed after the new year. I am in a low position. I am not in a hurry.
At this time.”
Fang Jun had already stood up and said seriously: "According to common sense, your appointment requires certain procedures. This is not wrong. However, first the prince issued an oral order and then the king of Jiangxia County took charge of the staff, but he still failed to make you
The reason for your accusation has obviously gone beyond the normal scope and is related to the dispute over the reserve. Under such circumstances, if your accusation is allowed to be suppressed indefinitely, not only will the Jiangxia County Prince
The prestige in the official department has been damaged, and the reputation of His Highness the Crown Prince has been affected. How can we back down in such a situation? We should face the difficulties, but we want to see who is so sacred that even His Highness the Crown Prince's order dares to interfere with it!
"
Only then did Pei Xingjian realize that Fang Jun just wanted to use the topic to express himself. Since he didn't have a bad temper, he knew what he was doing and there was no need to worry.
"Wait here for a moment. I'm going to change some clothes. Come back as soon as you go."
"Here."
Pei Xingjian watched Fang Jun walk out of the back hall, then sat down, poured a cup of tea, and drank it full.
After a while, Fang Jun changed into a Shu embroidered brocade robe, a mink hat on his head, a white and round mutton-fat jade pendant tied to the rain belt around his waist, deerskin boots on his feet, and a gold medal on his thumb.
The handsome jade ring finger, the whole person is rich and majestic, and the whole person is overwhelming. How can he still have half of the calm demeanor of a completely playboy?
No need to ask, this person is obviously going to cause trouble in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Pei Xingjian stood up and said with a wry smile: "Master Yue, why are you doing this?"
Fang Jun said: "In the past, the Guanlong nobles were monolithic. Even if they were riding on our heads, they could only swallow their anger and act in a low-key manner. But now, the Guanlong nobles are at odds with each other. They have already had their own plans.
Putting pressure on them will increase their internal conflicts infinitely. After all, who wants to stand in front of someone and bear the firepower for others?"
Pei Xingjian understood what this meant.
Nowadays, the Guanlong nobles have long been declining, and they are only one step away from falling apart. It is only because Changsun Wuji stood up and openly supported the Jin king in his fight for the heir apparent, which gave the Guanlong nobles hope, so the alliance can continue to be maintained.
However, this kind of maintenance is very fragile. Each family has its own plan. If King Jin can successfully ascend to the throne, everyone will naturally "rebuild old friendships."
Uneven distribution may lead to hostility and hatred.
Now that Fang Jun has stepped forward and aggressively knocked on the door with the attitude of "the number one dude in Chang'an", who is willing to defend Changsun Wuji from Fang Jun's bullying attitude?
If a person does not do it for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. When the future of the Jin King's fight for the heir was in chaos, he severely offended Fang Jun. A smart person would never do that...
The two walked out of the house. Fang Jun saw a carriage parked in front of the door. Knowing that Pei Xingjian came by car, he said, "It's not impressive to ride in a car. Let's ride there together."
Naturally, Pei Xingjian had no objection at all. He watched dozens of Fang Jun's soldiers file out of the mansion, separated two horses, handed the reins to Fang Jun and himself, and got on the horse.
Fang Jun sat on the horse, looked at the soldiers on the left and right and said with a smile: "I have not been able to ride the horse for a long time and do whatever I want. We almost forgot that we still carry the title of 'Chang'an's No. 1 Dandy'. Today.
If you have nothing to do, you might as well go out for a walk, and let everyone remember our original majesty! When we get to the official department later, everyone will show us the momentum we used when we were rampant in the countryside. Anyone who dares to stop in front of us will be beaten first!"
All the soldiers suddenly burst out laughing and excited.
Who doesn’t like the feeling of being domineering and bullying others? These soldiers follow Fang Jun. Over the years, as Fang Jun’s official position has risen, his power and influence have increased, and they have gradually calmed down, but it does not mean that they have forgotten that they followed Fang Jun in the past.
The days when Fang Jun was rampant in Guanzhong.
The days when they were the only ones bullying others, but others didn't dare to be tough in front of them, are really worth remembering!
When Fang Jun saw that their morale was high, he also knew that these guys were all brave soldiers who were not afraid of life and death when they were in the army. They all had unruly tempers. Now with his approval, he could put down his hands and feet to bully others. How could he not?
What about joy?
At that moment, there was also a surge of pride in my chest and abdomen. I felt that I had probably been too silent in the past few years, and I almost forgot that I was just a young man in his prime, so he flicked the riding whip in his hand and shouted loudly:
: "Kill the officials with someone!"
Go first.
All the soldiers remembered the current situation. How could they dare to let Fang Jun rush to the front when they were being assassinated continuously? Even in Chang'an City, they did not dare to slack off at all. They quickly shouted and beat their horses to catch up.
Dozens of horsemen rushed out of the gate of Chongren Square, shouting and swarming. The guards were so frightened that they stood close to the wall and did not dare to express their anger.
