Zhao Xin heard Fu Bi's voice, so he sat up, straightened his body, and said, "Here comes Zhengyan... excuse yourself quickly..." Then he told the people around him: "Give me a seat for Zhengyan!"
So, a eunuch brought a chair and placed it opposite Zhao Xin, and invited Fu Bi over.
Fu Bi was so timid that he only dared to sit half of his buttocks on the chair.
This made Zhao Xin laugh when he saw it: "There is no need to be polite when speaking rightly!"
How could he not understand Fu Bi's temperament?
For Fu Bi, respect from others is what You Zhengyan values most.
And the respect from the king is as precious to him as life!
Therefore, Zhao Xin knew that Fu Bi was completely cautious now.
"I've heard that you can get rid of Liu Neiquan with right words?" Zhao Xin asked.
"The official family has great trust, and the Duke will not abandon it. However, a humble official with a humble body and shallow knowledge is expected to take on a big responsibility. It is really frightening, sincere and frightening!" Fu Bi quickly stood up and worshiped: "May the Duke show his holy thoughts.
, send down the sound of virtue to teach the humble ministers!”
Zhao Xin suddenly burst into laughter after hearing this.
A two-year-old child's laughter sounds like a bell.
So, Zhao Xin said: "Please give me the right words..."
After Fu Bi stood up, he asked: "How is the selection situation this year?"
"Reporting to the Duke, this year there are 354 candidates for Liu Neiquan who have completed their term, 785 candidates have been selected, and there are 348 candidates who have not yet reached their full term..." Elder Fu Bi
He honestly reported the data he had obtained: "I came to the ministry and handed over the written text from his birth. After verification, it is indeed the same person!"
The so-called term completion, qualifications, and under-years are all titles of seniority for officials in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Among them, the term of office is greater than the seniority and the seniority is greater than the years of service. If you are transferred to an official position according to the system, except when you are awarded, you should line up according to this order.
It's just that systems are usually meant to be broken.
If you have connections and connections, all restrictions are nonsense!
Not to mention, now Zhao Xin can directly make a selected person ascend to heaven or fall into hell with just one word, regardless of his political achievements, background and level!
"One thousand, four hundred and eighty-seven people were selected and transferred to two hundred positions..." Zhao Xin smiled and said to Fu Bi, "God's grace is so great!"
Fu Bi nodded and said, "This is the virtue of a duke!"
If it weren't for the Duke of Shou in front of me, one thousand four hundred and eighty-seven would turn into two hundred? Just dream!
It should be one thousand four hundred and eighty-seven to eighty or even less!
Anyway, the country has always selected people, and the total number of Quan Cao and Quan Cao in one spring and autumn is probably only 200 to 400 people.
However, Zhao Xin paused and asked again: "My dear, do you know how many of the candidates from Quancao's Fourth Academy have been selected this year?"
Fu Bi was stunned and immediately replied: "I don't know about this yet, but there should be fifty people!"
Zhao Xin was quite surprised when he heard this: "There are actually many?"
The Song Dynasty had a strict hierarchy of officials and restrictions on dispatch and removal of conferees.
The reason why the officials in the Beijing Dynasty are so good is because they can break many restrictions of the Mokan system and become magistrates of states, armies, and counties at the age of thirty or forty years old.
It is much harder to select officials with background.
Many people can survive their entire lives but never make it through.
Because if you want to go from selecting someone to becoming an official in Beijing, you no longer need just political achievements.
They also need connections, luck and connections.
Because, in order to centralize power and suppress and restrict local power, the Song Dynasty made unprecedented changes and institutional arrangements.
This change and arrangement is not only reflected in the economy and system.
It is even more reflected in the institutional arrangements of officials.
Why are the selected people called shogunate officials? Because they are the official positions awarded by the Jiedushi vassals in the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. They belong to outsiders and need to be alert and vigilant.
The reason why Beijing officials are more important than selecting people is because they are the Jinshi admitted by Zhao Guan's family and the close associates who were promoted after their own inspection and review. They are their own people.
Therefore, if a candidate wants to be transferred to the capital, he must undergo a comprehensive examination from head to toe to three generations of his ancestors.
In addition, they also need to elect a leader.
Not one, but five.
And one of them must be a supervisor!
Moreover, the supervisory officer must be the envoy of the official's location or be responsible for regular official affairs or some criminal and prison matters.
Why?
Because the above three were all awarded by the Zhao Guan family themselves.
The sponsor bears all responsibilities and has joint and several obligations to the official.
In other words, if the person they recommend and guarantee becomes embezzled and violates the law after being promoted, he or she will be killed due to dereliction of duty.
They all shoulder the responsibility and hold each other accountable!
Therefore, in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was extremely difficult to select someone to transfer to the capital!
Without sufficient political achievements and strong enough charisma, it is impossible to convince five senior officials to jointly vouch for one candidate.
Generally speaking, for a candidate who can gather five candidates, his ability and talent are irrefutable no matter what.
For example, Fan Zhongyan, the current Deputy Envoy of Shaanxi Economic Strategy and Comfort in Yanzhou during the Song Dynasty, was selected and killed!
Fan Zhongyan only passed the 97th place in the second section of the Cai Qi list in the imperial examination. He did not even get the same background as a Jinshi. Naturally, he could not be a Beijing official and could only be reduced to a selector. He was dismissed from the Guangde Army to join the army.
A ninth-grade sesame official.
But Fan Zhongyan was killed and became another miracle in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty!
And in the Song Dynasty, the first thing every candidate thinks about when they get up every morning is how to get together his five candidates.
After the five leaders are gathered together, it is called the top of the tower, just like the last project of building a tower.
Generally speaking, if a dozen or so people succeed in the annual selection examination, it is considered a blessing.
Note that this also includes Qiu Quan’s number of people.
But this year, 50 people have successfully joined the ranks of Chunquan?
Zhao Xin couldn't help but become confused.
I heard Fu Bi explain: "This is all the great virtue of the Duke... This year, the Duke has been granted by Heaven, the official family is very happy, the officials are selected, and there are officials in all walks of life. How can we not comply with Heaven's will and be virtuous?"
official?"
"Oh..." Zhao Xin suddenly felt relieved and understood what was going on. The official below relaxed his fingers while the emperor was happy.
The conditions and qualifications were particularly relaxed, which led to such a record-breaking situation.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some of these people have connections.
But no matter how close the relationship is, those who can successfully join forces are all talented people!
At least it shows that this person's communication skills, activity ability or money making ability are very strong!
Thinking of Chao's ability, Zhao Xin thought of a person, so she smiled and asked Fu Bi: "This year, when Liu Neiquan came to the ministry, did Aiqing bring him?"
Fu Bi hurriedly bowed and said, "I have brought you here. Do you want to see the prince?"
Zhao Xin nodded.
"Please wait a moment, my lord, and I will order someone to offer it to you!" Fu Bi then stood up and bowed again.
