Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 747: Zhao Shen is dissatisfied with the selection of officials by the Ministry of Personnel

Chapter 747: Zhao Shen is dissatisfied with the official selection process
First of all, Zhang Jun has always hated evil and was a representative figure of the military attache.
Moreover, the emperor's trust in him was almost unparalleled. After all, Zhang Jun was Zhao Shen's confidant before Zhao Shen came to the throne.
There is a more important point, that is, Zhang Jun is already sixty-three! He is too old! Who knows when he will drive to the west.
Therefore, Zhang Jun didn't care who he offended at all. With the emperor's order to kill first and then report later, even if he really killed a few court officials, he would probably have to admit that he was unlucky.
Otherwise, what else can be done?
Therefore, Zhao Shen's purpose is very obvious. One is to intimidate hundreds of officials! If these officials are ignorant, he doesn't mind letting Zhang Jun kill people.
The second is to stabilize Lin'an. If anyone wants to incite students or people to chaos, with an army of more than 20,000, they can easily wipe out everything.
"That's it!"
Zhao Shen said with finality. The ministers below felt the chill in Zhao Shen's words. As expected, they did not persist any longer. Even the man who had asked to retire picked up his hat again and put it on, standing up with a bit of ugliness. .
"Chen Hui! Have the officials in Chengdu Prefecture been selected for the temporary vacancy?"
Zhao Shen spoke again.
"Your Majesty, the chief officials of the prefectures, counties and counties have already drawn up the list, and it's just waiting for your Majesty to make a decision!"
Chen Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, went out and handed over the memorial, "During the Tubo invasion, some officials were still stationed in the local area, some officials were expelled by the Tubo, and a few officials were killed by the Tubo.
With the pacification of Chengdu Prefecture, most officials have resumed their duties. The chief officials who need to be rearranged include one prefect, two prefects, and eighteen county magistrates. The remaining officials at all levels provide 135 people, and the staff will be provided by the chief. Configuration will be done after the officials are in place..."
"The chief officers of the fourth division of Chengdu Prefecture are all here and have now resumed their duties..."
Listening to Chen Hui's story, Zhao Shen frowned! And he waved his hand to interrupt Chen Hui's words.
"Could it be that the officials only did these things?"
Zhao Shen asked with dissatisfaction.
Chen Hui looked surprised, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak! Arranging many officials all the way, this is not only a fat job but also a big trouble for the staff! Which official wants to be promoted to the first rank? Can't wait for the opportunity?
During this period of time, people coming and going almost leveled the threshold of the official office.
The balance between this is not easy for Chen Hui to control even as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Fortunately, after balancing and deliberation between all parties, the list was finally drawn up, but His Majesty is still dissatisfied?
Zhao Shen pondered for a moment, and then said calmly, "During the war, the officials who are still stationed at the Yamen will be promoted to one level! Those who were expelled by the Tubo soldiers and horses will be reinstated if they return on their own and provide peace to the people! As for those who have no regard for the people, they will be reinstated. Those who run away on their own will be directly punished! As a parent, but can't protect the land and bring peace to the people, what use do I need from them?"
After briefly looking at the list on the memorial, Zhao Shen waved his hand and dropped it to the ground, "After careful consideration, draft the list again and submit it again!"
"My lord, I obey!"
Chen Hui could only respond with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty, the officials of the Fourth Department of Chengdu Fulu are basically complete, so there is no need for major changes!"
Chen Hui said again.
Zhao Shen thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine!"
Of course, Zhao Shen was dissatisfied with the four chief officers of the Chengdu Prefecture. As the chief officers of the First Division, these four divisions did not play any role in the entire process of Chengdu Prefecture being invaded by the Tibetans. In fact, they did not even provide early warning. Yeah, it's naturally a huge dereliction of duty.
However, now is the time when Chengdu Mansion needs stability the most. If these chief officials are directly replaced, it will be detrimental to the situation.
Let them feel at ease first and then deal with it after a period of time, so that there won't be any trouble.
"Zhang Jun, during the battle in Chengdu, our Song Dynasty soldiers were brave and unafraid of death. We should clearly distinguish between merit and deeds and rewards and punishments! What is the arrangement of the Privy Council for a group of soldiers to discuss their merits and reward them?"
Zhang Jun left the mission and said, "Your Majesty, the military merits of generals at all levels have been tallied, and rewards will be given as usual.
The battle merits of most of the soldiers are still being counted. Because the situation is complicated, I have sent people to the Chengdu Prefecture Army to investigate in detail. In addition, your Majesty still needs to make a final decision on the merits of Commander Shen Tang this time!"
After pondering for a while, Zhao Shen said again, "This battle requires the soldiers to use their lives and the soldiers to fight to the death to win.
Therefore, above the norm, a generous reward!”
The reason why Zhao Shen made such a decision was, firstly, that this battle was indeed not easy, and secondly, because the Song Dynasty had not won such a great victory for a long time! Therefore, it is reasonable to reward him generously, even if Those civil servants wanted to object, but they couldn't speak out.
"In addition, this matter must be done as soon as possible! The Chengdu army will return soon, and the court cannot let these soldiers feel cold! All rewards must be implemented before then!"
"My lord, I obey the order!"
Zhang Jun bowed his hands and stepped back.
"In the battle of Chengdu Prefecture, Shen Tang made great contributions. Dear friends, please discuss how to reward Shen Tang."
Zhao Shen asked.
After Zhao Shen's words fell, there was silence in the hall! These people all wanted to find some guilt for Shen Tang and ask them to discuss merits with Shen Tang. How could they be willing!
Seeing this situation, Chen Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, secretly winked! Immediately, Wang Junjie, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, came to the banquet, "Your Majesty, Wang Junjie! In the battle of Chengdu Prefecture, Shen Tang made great contributions, so he deserves it. Huge reward! Now, Mr. Shen is of the third rank, how about promoting him to the title of champion general?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court had different expressions! However, except for a few people such as Zhang Jun who frowned and looked a little angry, others looked happy!
The reason for this is because although the title of champion general sounds good, it is only a military official.
Although he is ranked in the third rank, he does not have much authority! After all, the Lin'an Forbidden Army has various departments in charge, and the name of an empty-headed general has no meaning except that it sounds good.
Moreover, this position requires obeying the orders of the court, and the purpose of these people is also very clear. Can't you, Shen Tang, be able to do anything about it?
Then I will give you an empty title and stay in the court. With the constraints of the civil and military forces of the court, it depends on what kind of trouble you, Shen Tang, can cause.
Shi Hao hesitated for a long time, then went out and said, "Although Shen Tang has the official position of a military general, he is the number one talent after all.
How about being promoted to bachelor of Longtuge?"
From a straight bachelor to a bachelor, it is also from a third grade to a third grade! However, it is still considered an official without a position! However, it is much better than the empty-headed general! Moreover, there will also be a chance to worship the prime minister in the future! A step forward!
