Kangxi stared at these memorials expressionlessly.

If they were suffering from dementia, what would it be if they happily reviewed the memorials every day and had a chat with the courtiers?

Kangxi would rather they were all fools than face the tragic ending that he kept talking to ducks and playing the piano to cows.

He forced a weak smile.

Kangxi said out of conscience: "I think..." It shouldn't be dementia, right?

That's half the story.

Kangxi suddenly got stuck, he blinked and looked at the memorials of these courtiers again, and suddenly felt that this is not a good time?Naturally, these scumbags should be dealt with properly-whether you have dementia or not.

Kangxi waved his hand.

These memorials were sorted out and sent to the great scholars in person, with a message from Kangxi: "I lament that your family is old, and the symptoms of good, wrong and forgetful words are frequently wrong, and I am afraid it will be the onset of dementia. Imperial Hospital envoy Qin Taiyi and others checked the medical condition of 11 people including Zhenghong Banner Mongolian Deputy Capital Commander Mu'e and Guard Commander Jueluo Kwadai, and those with illnesses were allowed to retire..."

Grand Maesters: ...

They took turns flipping through the memorials as evidence, with question marks floating over their foreheads one after another.

Liang Qingbiao, a scholar of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, finally closed the memorial.

He pondered for a moment and slowly opened his mouth: "What if it's not dementia?"

Grand Maesters: ...

Xu Yuanwen, who is also a bachelor of the Wenhua Palace, laughed cheerfully: "Thinking about it, they will definitely be willing to retire with dementia."

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will lead to death!

Faced with such a situation, Mu'e, the vice-captain of the Mongolian Red Banner, Jueluo Kwadai, the commander of the guards, and others looked extremely ugly when facing the Qin imperial doctor who was ordered to come to the door by the emperor-everyone knew that their political career was over.

On the surface, Kangxi's move was to care and love the officials, but in private it was a severe warning to the officials.

All the officials who heard the news, especially after the 11 people should have resigned due to illness, felt chills in their hearts.When it comes to playing things, be cautious, and never dare to act capriciously.

Just when Kangxi was proud of this tactic of killing chickens and monkeys, and found his elder brothers to explain in detail how to control officials and subordinates, news came from the imperial hospital that Qin Taiyi asked to see him.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Doctor Qin had a worried look on his face.

He stepped into the hall quickly: "My humble minister greets the emperor, His Royal Highness the crown prince, and the elder brother, the third elder brother...the tenth elder brother."

"What happened in such a hurry?"

"Reporting to the emperor, this minister is here to submit the inspection results of the ministers." Qin Taiyi wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead, he glanced at the brothers around him and replied in a low voice: "The commander of the guard, Jue Luo Kuadai... ...is really suffering from dementia."

This sentence made everyone dumbfounded like five thunderclaps, and the entire upper study room was silent.

Kangxi: ...

He only felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his ears, and he stared blankly at Imperial Physician Qin.

Amidst the uproar and exclamation of his sons for a while, Kangxi's face was livid with anger: "Is it true that Luo Kuadai has dementia!?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Imperial Physician Qin smiled wryly: "Not only that, but Mr. Exaggeration's condition is quite serious."

Taiyuan originally got the emperor's decree to list all these people as stupid, but Qin Taiyi never expected that there would be a real one among a group of fake people!

Kangxi took a deep breath.

He murmured solemnly: "Jueluo Kuadai..."

"Who is Luo Kwadai?" Seeing Khan Ama's unsightly expression, Yinzhen asked the elder brother in a low voice.

The elder brother Yinti's complexion is not very good-looking either.

He is also quite familiar with Jue Luo Kwadai, the commander of the guards.Jueluo Kuadai made great contributions in the San Francisco Rebellion, and was promoted to the post of Deputy Capital Commander and Capital Commander all the way.However, for the past three consecutive years, he was downgraded by the Ministry of Officials because of his lack of talent, and finally he was evenly transferred to the post of commander of the guard because of his previous achievements.

After introducing Jue Luo Kuadai's position and past achievements in detail, the elder brothers looked at each other in dismay.

As for what Qin Taiyi said next, everyone was even more silent.

According to his subordinates: Jueluo Kwadai often said that he wanted to have a drink and chat with others one minute, and rushed to the study room to review the affairs on his own the next minute, without remembering what he explained.And his family members also said that his temper is also very different from before. He would get angry from time to time, let alone be suspicious and speculate, and even beat his wife who had been married for many years.

...But the family members never suspected dementia.

Most people only think that maybe Jue Luo Kua Dai is busy with work in the court and is in a bad mood. Until the Imperial Hospital envoy Qin Taiyi confirmed the diagnosis, there were still many people who refused to admit it, including Jue Luo Kua Dai.

After he resigned due to illness, he went to the gate of the Tai Hospital and yelled and cursed for several days in a row, making a fuss.

Kangxi: ...

This is what he never expected.

Thinking of an official suffering from dementia or a general in charge of military power, Kangxi couldn't sit still: "How should this dementia be distinguished?"

Qin Taiyi was quite embarrassed: "Reporting to the emperor, in "Lingshu Tiannian", the heart qi begins to decline at the age of 60, and the blood qi is lazy; Individual circumstances are different, maybe sooner or later, only relatives and family members can find out in the early stage, and by the time outsiders can find out, it is usually very serious, seriously affecting normal life."

Simply put, it is difficult to find, very difficult.

Kangxi frowned slightly: "No matter how difficult it is, we need to find a way."

The corners of the mouths of Yinfeng and Yinzhen twitched.

The two of them never thought that a casual sentence would be guessed right.

Kangxi sent someone to invite several great scholars over.

Facing the report from Imperial Physician Qin, the expressions of the academicians were exactly the same as those of Kangxi before.No one thought that a person suffering from dementia would be found inside, let alone that the onset of dementia was so hidden.

Kangxi said in a deep voice, "What do you think should be done?"

For a while, the East Nuan Pavilion was very quiet.

Can we find out if there is a second or third among the officials?Thinking that there might be many hidden 'bombs' among the courtiers, the Grand Scholars immediately began to argue fiercely.

Yinzhen raised his hand: "Ama Khan, why don't you give physical examinations to the courtiers who are over 60 years old every year?"

"Annual... physical examination?"

"You can give Brother Nine's idea a try." Xu Yuanwen agreed very much.

Kangxi shook his head: "This time it was by surprise. If we operate like this for a long time, I'm afraid someone will have other thoughts."

If the patient is in the early stage of dementia, he will definitely not want to expose this situation, and for the sake of official position and power, the family members may not let people find out easily.But the frightening thing is that this dementia gradually gets worse, and it will turn an originally diligent official into a dead body, filling up his position, and it is more likely to cause terrible consequences.

"Weichen believes that not only should the medical examination system for officials over 60 years old be popularized, but also that some content should be added to the performance appraisal." University scholar Liang Qingbiao said: "For example, add a new part of the annual summary and ask them to submit information about the year's... ..."

"No." Kangxi shook his head: "Nowadays, the performance of officials in the court is already heavy. In addition to completing performance goals and checking the ability to govern, the year-end assessment already includes the part of the debriefing report. Repeating the annual summary will only increase the burden on officials. The workload makes the assessment more cumbersome."

Yinfeng thought for a while: "Khan Ama, how about taking another test paper assessment in addition to the physical examination system?"

"Examination paper assessment?"

"Erchen's meaning can be, for example, going to the study room and the Eight Banners Children's School. There are one or two assessments per year, such as the Ministry of Households' inquiry on the prices of grain, rice and oil in various places, population and household registration, land reduction and increase, pensions and relief in disaster areas, etc., and the rest. Ministries and localities can also conduct inspections as usual."

"This is also a way."

Kangxi pondered for a moment: "It's just that this dementia is sometimes lucid and sometimes confused...Even if the two prongs are combined, I'm afraid there will be fish that slip through the net."

The maesters looked at each other.

Neither this nor that, so what should we do?

"Khan Ama also has opinions on this one, and that one too. I want my son to say that all the courtiers who have reached the age of 60 should retire!" Yinzhen looked at the embarrassment of the senior scholar and the second brother who were thinking hard, and couldn't help complaining. Voice.

"retire?"

"retire!?"

This simple and rude word immediately made people understand the meaning. Several university scholars opened their eyes wide and subconsciously looked at Liang Qingbiao.

Liang Qingbiao, a scholar of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, was 70 years old at the time.

Not to mention that Liang Qingbiao is very excited. Over the years, outsiders don't know that he knows that his physical strength is far from what it used to be. Even when he kowtows in the court, sometimes his eyes are darkened when he gets up. An impropriety.

At that time, the whole family will be dragged down.

However, he failed to get the emperor's permission to serve several times, and Liang Qingbiao, who was not a good heir, finally chose to give up.Hearing that elder brother Jiu mentioned it, he wasn't embarrassed at all, and he showed his curiosity very openly: "What is the purpose of elder brother Jiu's retirement?"

The word retirement also popped out directly from his own mouth.

Yinzhen blinked for a while and couldn't figure out what it was, but Yinfeng, who rested his chin in contemplation, clapped his hands and laughed: "I know! The ninth brother must think that the courtiers over 60 years old have worked hard for the Qing Dynasty all their lives, and they have reached the end of their old age , at the age of having grandchildren, one should retire from office and call it retirement—Khan Ama, I think this is a good idea.”

"It is not acceptable to be an official at the age of 60."

Isanha, the youngest among the bachelors, said slowly: "Actually, since ancient times, there has been a saying that doctors retire at seventy, not to mention that there are only a few who can retire at seventy. If it is adjusted to 60, I am afraid that the number There will be a sudden increase, and how to arrange it may be a problem.”

"Master Esanha is right."

The next person to speak was University scholar Wang Xi: "After becoming an official, most of them return to their hometowns. Even if they can get a reward and salary, they can barely get by. As far as I know, there are still officials who are clean and honest. They can’t afford to pay for the board—if they can’t place officials well and force them to retire, it will only lead to criticism.”

more importantly……

The university scholars looked at each other: the older the officials, the more students there are. If there is a one-size-fits-all approach, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Brother Jiu who made the suggestion would have to be stabbed to death.

Yinzhen always felt that the most important link was missing.

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why, so he took out a bottle of inspiration potion from the system panel in a rage, and decided to use one.

Just when Yinzhen was about to fall down, he suddenly came back to his senses.

and many more.

What do you do to pour yourself a potion?There are so many grand scholars and brothers around!Yinzhen, who didn't want to show off at all, turned his eyes, he looked at Khan Ama slyly, and secretly gave a thumbs up while pouring the potion: Come on!

Kangxi: ...?

For a moment he felt extremely cold, but when he looked back, he saw Yinzhen smiling at himself triumphantly like a little fox.

laugh……?

What are you laughing laughing?Before this idea disappeared, a flash of light suddenly bloomed from Kangxi's mind, and all kinds of messy and tangled problems were sorted out in an instant-this feeling is really...

So cool!

Kangxi felt his hands itching, wishing he could approve [-] copies of the memorial in one go, wishing he could take every son and ask them about their homework three times five times ten times a hundred times.

His eyes were golden.

As for the small problem of retiring and becoming an official...?That's even easier!Kangxi has never felt that his brain is so clear and clear, and the next second solution to a matter pops out directly.

He squinted his eyes and looked around the officials without any trace.As long as everyone works hard together, it will be done soon, right?It's rare to be so energetic, why don't you just come and get it done overnight?

Everyone present was shocked.

They only felt a cold air emerge from the bottom of their hearts and quickly spread to their limbs.Everyone looked around in a daze, not understanding why there was such an ominous premonition.

I don't know who noticed the emperor.

Gradually, pairs of eyes fell on the emperor, and it was rare to see Kangxi... No!The never-before-seen fighting spirit made everyone's hairs stand on end, and they always felt that something was weird.

The corner of Kangxi's mouth twitched: "I have a few ideas... Would you like to listen to it?"

Just ask who dare not listen?

Everyone nodded their heads, and even Yinzhen, who was secretly proud, couldn't help but shrank back obediently, staring nervously at Khan Ama, who was completely different from usual.

I always feel like I have opened Pandora's box!
