I defeated Emperor Chongzhen at the beginning!

Chapter 21 I have also thought about this matter, and I have made a decision!
"This matter is His Majesty's order. He told me not to publicize it to the outside world. Please don't pursue it any further, Mr. Hong."

Yuan Chonghuan pulled Lu Xiangsheng to his side, frowned and said displeasedly: "The prisoners of war have not been counted yet, what are you talking nonsense here?"

He deliberately took Lu Xiangsheng away.

Hong Chengchou saw all this and felt uncomfortable.

It seems that Yuan Chonghuan is guarding against him...

"It seems that General Yuan deeply trusts His Majesty!?"

"If you want His Majesty to trust you, it must be Master Hong! Otherwise, how could today's incident happen?"

"It's all for His Majesty's concern."

This bow and crossbow is made by pouring steel.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of such powerful crossbows hidden in the military garrison.

Moreover, these bows and crossbows have been cast continuously, and the number is increasing every day.

It is estimated that before the Northern Expedition, their 40 troops will be able to have a bow and crossbow in their hands.

With this weapon of war, he is very confident that he can bring out a powerful land army that dominates the Quartet.

Northern barbarians.

Western Manchurians.

Ants call!
Hong Chengchou and Yuan Chonghuan stood at the highest point, overlooking the busy sergeants, both of them carried a domineering aura.

……

Jinyiwei Department.

"Go check!"

Hong Chengchou was angry because he didn't behave well in front of Yuan Chonghuan.

As soon as he arrived in the imperial city, he hurriedly ordered his men to investigate these matters without taking a sip of water when he returned to Jinyiwei.

There are countless Jinyiwei spies, and they have already spread all over every corner of Daming.

No matter how difficult it is to check, as long as they think about it, they can get the result within half a month.

……

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

early morning.

The court meeting has already begun.

"Your Majesty, when I visited the low-level states and counties of the Ming Dynasty, I had an in-depth observation of the system of selecting and appointing officials in the Ming Dynasty. I think that this system has flaws!"

The first person to speak out was Zhao Jing, a newly promoted member of the Ministry of Officials, Wailang.

This man entered the court as an official for the first time. On the first day he went to court, he showed no fear and talked eloquently.

This made Zhu Youjian's eyes brighten.

He had seen a lot of old fried dough sticks at the court meeting, and it was hard to see Zhao Jing's temperament so different from ordinary people.

"how do I say this?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am not at fault for the current imperial examination system in Ming Dynasty. It's just that how many people have worked for the central examination and the country in ten years of poverty. But...if such people have good results after the imperial examination, the imperial examination What is the point of the existence of the system?"

"Why did Aiqing say that?"

Zhu Youjian looked serious, changed his sitting position, and was ready to listen to Zhao Jing's argument.

But others began to whisper.

"Who is this person?"

"How dare you be so bold? You actually blatantly slandered our country's imperial examination system. This has been passed down from the ancestors, and it has been like this throughout the dynasties. How come he is wrong everywhere?"

"Is that always true?"

Zhao Qing directly turned her head to look directly at the official who complained just now, and she looked puzzled.

The civil servant also didn't know that his whispering would be refuted by them, so he just froze.

There was embarrassment in the air.

"Push"

Zhu Youjian accidentally laughed.

This kid is a bit interesting.

In the past, he actually couldn't bear to see these civil servants squealing like mosquitoes, but he just didn't have the time to care about these innocuous little things.

This Zhao Jing, he likes it!

Zhu Youjian clenched a fist against his lips and coughed lightly.

"What's your opinion, Ai Qing?"

Only then did Zhao Jing turn her head and look at Zhu Youjian and said seriously: "Since the founding of our Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination system has been in use, regardless of whether there are any shortcomings in it, what I said is about the recruitment of officials after the imperial examination. "

He talked more and more vigorously
"Not to mention the officials who were elected as Jiuqing, but most of the talented people selected in the imperial examination need to be assigned to various regions to serve as local officials. The distribution method of these officials is just a simple lottery method .”

Engine sign method.

As the name suggests, it is a lottery, and it counts wherever it is drawn.

To put it bluntly, it is a method that the Ministry of Officials came up with for the sake of fairness, so as to prevent officials from accepting benefits and making targeted distributions.

To put it bluntly, it is lazy!

Too lazy to distribute, too lazy to offend people, too lazy to deal with these trivial matters.

Therefore, those officials who could return to their homeland to serve as magistrates are likely to be dispatched to serve as officials far away from home.

It would be fine if the state and county were rich, but who would be happy if they were dispatched to a poor and remote place?

"I have also thought about this matter, and I have made a decision!"

"Pass down my will! In the future, Zhao Jing will handle the matter of the distribution of officials in the middle school! Zhao Jing, a member of the Ministry of Officials, has both political integrity and talent, so he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, hereby!"

Since the last campaign to clean up corrupt officials, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials has been vacant.

Civil and military officials began to complain again.

It's just that this time, the youngest among them came out quite quickly.

Taibao Zhang Jing immediately walked to the center of the hall and bowed: "Your Majesty, absolutely not! Although this Zhao Jing is a useful talent, he has just entered the court as an official. He is just a member of the fifth rank. Now he is directly promoted to There has never been a precedent for a Shangshu of the second rank!"

These high-sounding words again.

Zhu Youjian closed his eyes and took a breath silently.

How could he not know what they were thinking? It was just that he didn't want the oily position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials to be taken by an uncontrollable person.

"Zhao Jing, tell me about your plan. If you are really given the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, how will you arrange those talents selected through the imperial examination?"

Zhao Jing obviously had an idea already, and she was ready.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that when allocating local officials, they should be allocated according to the place of origin of each official.

If there are more than one candidate in a prefecture or county, they will be sorted according to the results of the imperial examination. "

After talking for a while, all the officials had no words, and no one had any doubts.

Zhu Youjian looked at the quiet crowd and sneered.

"Retreat!"

……

Royal Garden.

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhao Jing who was standing in front of him without saying a word, and took a sip of tea with a smile.

"Aren't you quite able to talk just now? Why don't you talk now?"

Zhao Jing bowed and saluted, and replied: "What I want to say has been said in the court just now, and there is no official report now."

Knock...knock...

Zhu Youjian tapped the marble table lightly with his fingers, and looked at Zhao Jing with his eyes.

The more I look at it, the more interesting he is.

Zhao Jing's ears turned red from being stared at by him, and she felt a little embarrassed.

He stretched out his hand and touched his face uncomfortably, then lowered his head to check his clothes... There is nothing wrong with it!

"Zhao Jing, you are so interesting!"
