Officials thought of the Taizu oath inscribed in the stele, "Not to kill scholar-bureaucrats, and to write letters to those who make decisions." Then they thought of officials using the heavenly changes to persuade people. If the changes in heaven were not enough to warn people, then they would undoubtedly have killed the ability of officials to make remarks.
aisle.
The official accepted the teaching humbly and said: "I have learned what you said."
Generally speaking, when the emperor said that he had been taught, he had already admitted his mistake. Even if Fu Bi was the prime minister of the dynasty, it would be almost the same here.
However, Fu Bi continued: "Your Majesty is holy tomorrow. I only hope that one sentence will be enough to make progress. I heard that your Majesty has established three departments of regulations and wants to make changes in domestic and foreign affairs. This must be a villain."
This is for your Majesty’s advice.”
"Every villain likes the court to have changes, likes movement rather than silence, and hopes to get benefits from it. Such methods are disdainful to a gentleman. If the court is quiet, there will be a regular way of doing things, and then villains will not be able to take advantage of it.
I have gained a profit. May your Majesty shine the light on what is happening and why."
Listening to what Fu Bi said about treacherous officials and villains, there is no need to fear changes in the sky, and villains like to cause trouble. Although he did not mention names, these incidents were all done by Wang Anshi.
Guan Jiadao: "What you said and even discussed are the words of Jin Shi. I believe that those who want to rule the world must be rich before they can be rich. This is what Mencius said about the etiquette of the warehouse. The three regulations are the financial management of the imperial court.
I will leave it to my ministers to use it."
"To avoid being inappropriate, I asked Su Zhe to check the text in detail. You must know this, Su Zhe. This person is methodical and straightforward. With him in the Ordinance Department, I don't think the officials would dare to act rashly."
Fu Bi frowned. He was admonishing the officials that the three regulations departments could not be used, but the officials said that I had sent Su Zhe to supervise them. Although I had established the three regulations departments, I had already guarded against Wang Anshi's unauthorized use of power.
Conflicting opinions with each other is an ancestral family law, and it should be done. I really don't see what the officials have to brag about by placing Su Zhe in the Ordinance Department of the Third Department.
The official continued: "Although I ordered my assistant ministers to be in the department to correct the serious disadvantages, I also issued an edict to ask for advice, and ordered the three departments to make envoys, transport goods, and transfer officials to report their interests. This is the rule of the world.
We do not all rely on one person to discuss and act, so please rest assured, Mr. Fu."
Seeing that the officials still hadn't changed their minds, Fu Bi couldn't help but sigh secretly, so he retreated and settled for the next best thing.
Fu Bi said: "Since Your Majesty is determined, even though I am suing, I will try my best to plan for Your Majesty."
"However, Your Majesty really wants to enact new laws to enrich the country through the Three Departments of Regulations, but he also needs to be close to virtuous ministers and far away from villains. From what I can see, most of the people Your Majesty has appointed recently are eager for quick success and short-term gains, and are mean-spirited. Although such people are
It is gratifying to use it, and it is very convenient, but it has ruined the atmosphere in the court. I think that when selecting officials, we must use those who are honest and honest."
The official couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Fu Bi agreed with him, and then said: "The wise ministers and the villain Lao Qing helped me argue, and the world will be governed in this way."
Fu Bi gained a little bit from talking about this, and immediately said goodbye to the officials.
The next day, Fu Bi Shangshu asked officials to select talents carefully and recruit them strictly.
The officials also admired Fu Bi's speed. Fu Bi kept his word. Yesterday he personally agreed to Fu Bi in the palace. Fu Bi was afraid that he would default on his debt, so he went to Shu to ask the officials to reply with a clear edict.
As the saying goes, you have no joke.
The officials just agreed with Fu Bi's statement: "When employing officials, the court and ministers should distinguish between right and wrong."
Officials had previously obeyed Wang Anshi's advice. After Wang Anshi established the Three Regulations Department, he promoted many officials into the department and even promised what he would do in the future.
But Fu Bi's move was equivalent to draining the bottom of the cauldron.
The personnel power of the imperial court cannot be decided by Wang Anshi alone. It must be negotiated by the ministers.
Wang Anshi was about to use the method of appointing officials and making wishes to ask the officials in the Ordinance Department to work for him and kill the enemy on the front line and make achievements, but Fu Bi's move was equivalent to cutting off Wang Anshi's backup and food.
The army has just set off, and before it engages the enemy, our own people here have cut off your food route.
Without the incentive of becoming an official and making a wish, who else will work for you Wang Anshi? Proposing new laws can easily offend people.
So a few days later, several officials who had been hesitating to take up official positions in the Ordinance Department of the Third Division when they accepted Wang Anshi's invitation now rejected Wang Anshi.
Facts tell us that ginger is still spicier with age.
Later, the officials summoned Wang Anshi.
The official did not mention anything to Wang Anshi about Fu Bi's discussion with him a few days ago. However, the official did not mention it. Wang Anshi read the memorial and knew that Fu Bi had taken action.
The official asked Wang Anshi casually: "How is the discussion on the establishment of regulations going?"
Officials are asking Wang Anshi. It has been almost a month since the establishment of the Regulations Department of the Third Division. You, Wang Anshi, have summoned people from all over the place. Is there any progress?
But Wang Anshi couldn't let go because of Fu Bi's action, so he simply answered the question.
Wang Anshi said to the officials: "We are reviewing the text, and we have already got some clues. Your Majesty has set up three departments of regulations for financial management. If you want to manage finances, you must first make them capable, not virtuous."
"Your Majesty, in the past, Cao Cao was a man of merit, and everyone did their best, so that the Han and Wei dynasties could be established. Now, when employing people in the court, they must be able to do things first. As for appointing talents, it is not a top priority. If you really want to manage finances, I am afraid that the etiquette and education will not be enough.
.If you are worried about the corruption of customs, then I am afraid that there will be no reason to change the affairs of the world. Please also take into account the current difficult situation in the country and prioritize the employment of people."
The officials were a little embarrassed when they heard this.
This was an agreement between him and Fu Bi, and it was clear that it was for Wang Anshi.
Most ministers pretend to be confused and don't know about this matter.
But Wang Anshi is an upright man. He doesn't hide it or make any detours. He just tells the matter in front of the emperor.
The window paper was directly pierced, leaving no room for change between him and the officials.
The officials really can't stand down.
However, after the official thought about it, Wang Anshi's words made sense again.
Fu Bi said that officials must be virtuous and distinguish between evil and good. In fact, it is not up to their ministers to decide. If they are recognized by them, they are virtuous, and if they are not recognized, they are unworthy. However, the officials recommended in this way are worried about this.
If you are worried, you can't do it.
On the contrary, Wang Anshi used the capable rather than the virtuous, and made financial management his top priority, which was in line with his wishes.
After Wang Anshi's words, the officials accepted Wang Anshi's intention and stood on his side again.
After receiving renewed support from the officials and walking down the hall, Wang Anshi thought about how he had always had a good relationship with Fu Bi before he became prime minister.
And didn’t Fu Bi always recuperate from his illness?
Why did he suddenly rush into the palace one day on crutches and tell the officials what was wrong with him?
Is it Fan Chunren’s superior?
Wang Anshi thought of this and immediately ordered people to investigate the matter.
Not long after, someone reported that Su Shi had written an article called "The Ups and Downs of the Dragon" and sent it to Fu Bi's house, mocking Fu Bi for sitting at home pretending to be sick and not going out, and mocking him for not daring to argue with Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi was relieved after hearing the report. It turns out that this is what happened.
The visitor also reported to Wang Anshi that Su Shi had been complaining all day long in the official court, saying that his work was too idle and that there was nothing to do every day. He also told others that Wang Anshi was afraid of him, so he arranged for a sinecure to be sent.
Wang Anshi shook his head after hearing this.
He had heard Su Shi's dissatisfaction with him from others more than once.
Su Shi and Su Che returned to Beijing at the same time, and Su Che had been personally summoned by the officials to hold such an important position as the Ordinance Department of the Third Department.
One of the two brothers is already in an important position, and the other is in an idle position. This is also a very normal personnel arrangement.
But Su Shi thought he was taking revenge on him?
At this moment, Wang Anshi stroked his beard and said nothing for a long time while facing the song "The Ups and Downs of the Dragon".
…
Zhang Yue was walking in the palace corridor that day when he suddenly bumped into someone who rushed out of the corner door.
Zhang Yue was in pain and confronted the person who hit him.
"Save it!"
"The chief!"
Zhang Yue met with a middle-aged man. There were only two chiefs in Zhang Yue's mouth. One was Liu Ji, a former classmate of Taixue who was the top scholar in Jiayou's fourth year, and the other was the top scholar in Jiayou's second year and Zhang Yue's.
Yue's clan kinsman Zhang Heng died.
Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng suddenly met in the palace city. Zhang Yue saw Zhang Heng's embarrassed look. He didn't know what to say.
Zhang Yue knew that Zhang Heng had just been transferred back to the capital. Zhang Heng had been forced to leave the capital because he offended a large group of people in the Third Division. He had been working as a local official since then, and now he was transferred to the capital to judge Taichang Temple.
The task of judging Taichang Temple is not low.
For example, together with Zhang Heng, he sentenced several officials of Taichang Temple, Gong Dingchen, and Liu Neiquan.
Han Wei is now a Hanlin bachelor.
Chen Jian is a direct bachelor of Longtuge.
Wu Chong, his father-in-law, also knew how to make imperial edicts, and he also knew the admonishment court and was also the judge of Taichang Temple.
However, the status of dispatch is high, but it is a sinecure. The current status of Taichang Temple is not as good as that of Taichang Liyuan, where Zhang Yue once worked.
This is how high-ranking officials in the officialdom support their people through idle work. The official position like Zhang Heng was given a lower position, which was not in line with his status as the number one scholar. He was given a higher position, but after all, he had made mistakes before. In order to serve as a lonely minister for the emperor, he ended up offending him.
A lot of people.
Zhang Heng finally tasted the pain now. Returning to Beijing this time was like taking care of his old age, and his spirits were completely gone.
Zhang Yue hosted Zhang Heng for a drink at Fan Tower.
Zhang Yue poured wine for Zhang Heng and asked about it, only to find out that when Zhang Heng entered the palace today, he was asking about the schedule for the interview with the Holy Spirit, but he was told by the close door that his schedule had been bumped up by someone coming from behind.
There are people who reject the schedule of joining the family, which shows how unimportant they are in the hearts of these people.
Zhang Heng was very angry and quarreled with Hemen for a few words. He couldn't help but said, "Do you know who I was back then?"
As soon as he said this, he was ridiculed by several officials.
Zhang Heng left angrily and bumped into Zhang Yue.
Now the two of them were sitting across from each other. Every time Zhang Yue poured Zhang Heng a glass of wine, he drank it all in one gulp, drinking it very fast. It seemed that Zhang Heng would be drunk in just a few glasses.
Seeing the other party like this, Zhang Yue remembered that Zhang Heng was the one who could fly the highest and farthest among his fellow villagers in Pucheng, but now he lags behind.
Zhang Heng said: "Du Zhi, I saw Zi Hou the day before yesterday. He was very majestic when he entered and exited the palace on a tall horse..."
"And you are now in waiting, but I am very happy to see that you two are now successful. You are not like me. Although you seem to have a high official position, you have no real power. Even the highest-ranking officials dare to ridicule and laugh at me!"
Seeing Zhang Heng like this, Zhang Yue stopped pouring wine and admonished: "Zhaifang, this is not the first time I knew you!"
