These three people are none other than He Yan, deputy director of the Agriculture and Commerce Department of Huxian County Government, Liu Yuda, case manager of the Ministry of Interior, and Lu Xian, tax manager of the Finance Department.
All three are officials in the DPRK and China.
He Yan comes from the Ministry of Personnel.
Liu Yuda is from the Ministry of Punishment.
Lucian comes from the Ministry of Rites.
The three of them had drank a lot and were feeling dizzy. As they pushed the cups and changed cups, they could hear sighs.
He Yan took a deep sip and said solemnly: "My lords, I have made up my mind. I have no better choice. I have a weak temperament, do not seek fame and fortune, and do not want to make friends with my colleagues. Over the years, I have become an official.
The Ministry is like a transparent person. All those who entered the Ministry of Personnel at the same time as me have now been promoted, but I am still standing still...I have made such a decision, and I will never regret it!"
Lucian slapped his hand on the table: "What Mr. He said is not what happened to me. If you and I were powerless and unsupported, why were we sent to Hu County in the first place?
No one is willing to come here even if there is a chance!"
Liu Yuda patted his chest and said loudly: "Mr. Lu, this is wrong. This period in Hu County was the happiest for me... In the past, I was a high-ranking official. When I arrived in Hu County, I was really among the people.
Together, we discovered that trying cases is also a pleasant thing, haha..."
…
Gao Shilian got up early, had breakfast, then took a carriage into the imperial city and came to the Ministry of Personnel.
It's almost the end of the year, and the work of evaluating officials is about to begin.
Appraisal of officials is a major matter for the Ministry of Personnel. It is precisely because of this power that officials from all ministries must please and fawn over the Ministry of Personnel. For example, when Gao Shilian entered his room, he had already seen
Many things sent by officials were placed on the table.
Gao Shilian never refused to this, not because he was greedy for money, but because he looked down upon these things at all. He was from a real aristocratic family, and his wealth was not comparable to that of ordinary aristocratic families. But Gao Shilian knew how to be an official.
It's about helping and supporting each other, and these principles... Du He's Gouri will never understand this in his life. Look at what he has done. He impeached dozens of important officials in the court. This is to destroy the country.
You are driving yourself towards death.
Thinking of this, Gao Shilian called over an official and asked: "How are you preparing for this year's assessment?"
"My lord, everything is ready and we are waiting for His Majesty's order."
"Well," Gao Shilian said calmly, "Let Huang Kuang go to Hu County this year."
ah?
The official was stunned.
Huang Kuang was the most stringent among the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Over the years, wherever Huang Kuang went, no local official could satisfy him.
If Huang Kuang went to Hu County, I am afraid that the result of this year's Hu County magistrate would be that he is incompetent.
However, this was Gao Shilian's decision. The official did not dare to ask more questions and hurriedly agreed.
At this time, Gao Shilian asked: "Is there anything important happening these days?"
The official slapped his head and suddenly remembered: "Sir, there is something important that I want to report to you. Fifteen resignation letters were sent from Hu County today. He Yan and others said they were not feeling well and asked to resign from their official positions! Your Excellency,
, when the Duke of Huyi County borrowed twenty officials from our Ministry of Personnel, now, fifteen of them have resigned. This is unusual! Could this be a conspiracy? "
Gao Shilian stood up in surprise: "Where is the resignation letter?"
The official hurriedly took fifteen resignation letters.
Gao Shilian read it carefully and found that the handwriting and official seal were all correct.
This is real!
Fifteen officials want to resign?
This is a big deal!
Gao Shilian still remembered that three officials of Honglu Temple resigned at the same time last year, and His Majesty severely reprimanded the minister of Honglu Temple in the court.
Now there are fifteen officials in the Ministry of Personnel who have resigned. If Your Majesty knew about it, he would definitely be furious.
He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly picked up his resignation and hurried to the palace.
When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Gao Shilian discovered that Chen Shuda had already arrived.
He found that what Chen Shuda was holding seemed to be a resignation letter.
Chen Shuda, the Minister of Rites, asked: "Is it possible that Mr. Gao also came here because of the resignation of an official?"
Gao Shilian nodded solemnly: "Today, I suddenly received the resignations of fifteen officials from the Ministry of Personnel who went to Hu County. I didn't dare to neglect, so I came directly to apologize to His Majesty. Has Master Chen also encountered this?"
Chen Shuda smiled and said: "Exactly, but I am better than Mr. Gao. There are only eight people in the Rites Department who have resigned, which is almost half of the Staff Department."
Gao Shilian: "..."
Li Er looked serious and asked: "Two ministers, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, a total of more than 20 people have resigned. What do you think?"
Gao Shilian said with fear and fear: "Your Majesty, this matter is my fault. I neglected to discipline the staff and lacked care for these officials. As a result, so many people resigned. I beg your Majesty to convict you."
Chen Shuda said: "I am the same!"
The two of them had just finished speaking when they saw Duan Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Li Daozong, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Hou Junji, the Minister of the Ministry of War, walking in hurriedly.
Li Er raised his head and asked curiously: "You...are you here because your officials resigned?"
Li Daozong and others looked at each other.
Li Daozong said: "Your Majesty, Du He originally borrowed fifteen officials from the Ministry of Punishment. Now, ten of them have resigned. I am frightened and have come here to ask for your Majesty's decision."
Duan Lun said: "Your Majesty, I lent thirty craftsmen from Du He's Ministry of Industry. Today someone came to report that these thirty craftsmen voluntarily took off their official status and left the court."
Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, I am here to apologize. When Du He took office as the magistrate of Hu County, he borrowed a hundred veterans from the military department who had been on the battlefield. Most of these people came from the military guard. When they got older,
, has been relying on the Ministry of War to support... A month ago, His Highness the King of Shu came to the minister and said that Hu County would be willing to take in these people in the future, and these people voluntarily took off their military status. The minister thought that this was a good thing and it was a trivial matter, so he took it upon himself to do so.
I agreed, but I didn’t report it to Your Majesty, so please punish me!"
Li Er was stunned.
He finally understood.
When Du He first took office, almost all the people he borrowed from the court were meat and potatoes and never came back.
It's all chaos.
Forget about craftsmen and veterans, there are plenty of people in the Tang Dynasty anyway.
However, a total of more than 30 officials from the DPRK and the Central Government wanted to resign and join Hu County.
This is a shocking move that has never been heard of since ancient times.
Li Er asked confusedly: "Do you ever know the real reason why these people resigned?"
Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, I sent someone to find out. The real reason is... I worked in Hu County and the salary I got was more than the salary in the court. I heard that rewards were distributed in Hu County yesterday.
, someone got a reward of two hundred coins in one go..."
Gao Shilian said angrily: "Your Majesty, this trend cannot last forever. How can dignified officials of the imperial court resign because of money? If you tell them, won't you make the world laugh? I sincerely request your majesty to arrest all these officials who resigned and convict them."
