The vision of the red building is farther

"Which number is this?" Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, looked up at his colleagues and asked.There was movement from Shangfeng just now, I am afraid that the new young officials have done something wrong again. "The fifth one." Mr. An, who was taking the documents for review, said softly. It is not the official evaluation records and resumes in the past few years. The Ministry of Officials has filled in many new officials this time. Make mistakes often. "I don't know what I did wrong again. I'm already very busy now, and the chaos is even more chaotic." Fang Yuanwailang shook his head. Less scolding, this is lazy like before, drinking tea, that is something I dare not even think about.He didn't want to lose his hard-won job. "Don't talk about it, I still have something to finish, and I need it today." Director An sighed, and continued to work on the matter in hand.

"Okay, okay, let's be content. The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Accounts, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry have been very lively these days, and the anger is not limited to ours. The Holy Majesty wants all the ministries to check the previous documents. How many years of documents have been piled up here? The file is gone, which department is not busy, and even those small officials who only want to serve tea and water are running errands, and the master has to do it. The Ministry of Households scolded the few officials who arranged to go there yesterday, and even ran to our adults to say As soon as it is passed, novices will be sent to cover it today, and those who have always done wrong things will be sent elsewhere." Mei Langzhong said in a low voice, he had just handed in the documents in his hand, and now another pile came.

"I think the etiquette department should be more relaxed and quiet now." Chief Li interjected. "What do you call this? These one or two are useless, and we have to work hard." Liu Langzhong raised his head in a hurry, but accidentally slipped the pen, and the ink was blurred on the paper, " Alas, there are only a few words missing, and I have to rewrite it again." Langzhong Liu sighed, full of remorse.

Not to mention the gossip of the officials, Jia Zhen and Hu Ji were also very angry. It was already annoying enough to have to do a good thing several times because the newcomers didn't know how to do it and made repeated mistakes.The other department also came to them to complain about the manpower problem. Yesterday, the two of them had a good meal with Yun Shangshu of the Ministry of Accounting. They here are just documents and records. If there is a mistake there, it will be a big financial gap. Who to fill the loopholes?Yun Shangshu has a good temper, but he couldn't stand this kind of tossing. Xu Wenqing and Wu Ke had lost their tempers, and even the teacups were almost smashed.

"Everyone asks how we select people. I also want to ask how these people are admitted to the Jinshi, and how does the Ministry of Rites select people?" Jia Zhen took a few deep breaths, but couldn't help but burst out. Officials in Gansu Province have been urging for three days to transfer and change the documents, but in the end there are still flaws in the documents. This financial accounting is not good, and I can't even transcribe it. It's just rubbish.As for the fact that Hu Ji had already broken the third Hu pen in his hand abruptly, I really don't know what these people were thinking.

"My lord, Li An, the minister of the Ministry of War, is here." The little official boldly knocked on the door, and came in to report, he tried hard to swallow the second half of the sentence——Master Li's expression was very bad.Before the little official could go out to pass on the message, Li An had already stepped into the room and closed the door. "Tell me, what are the people you sent here to do? If you don't work early in the morning, even if you can confuse military map documents and military documents and reports, ask them to send the documents to Beidaying, but they are sent to the North Camp. Nan Daying, you are still saying that the military law is too strict and it is against benevolent government. You think my place is not chaotic enough, right? I am here for the Ministry of War, not an academy, and it is not a place for flirting." Li An said fiercely After taking a picture of the table, he was so angry that he took a sip of tea and dropped the cup.

"They were originally the top ones, and a few of them were needed. I replaced five of them with only one secretary here. The Ministry of Households only got ten people, and I threw back seven. The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry were also in a group. Chaos. The ones selected for your Ministry of War are already the most useful ones." Jia Zhen couldn't help rubbing her temples, and said in a pleasant voice. "It's just useless, it's a waste." Li An knew that it was not easy for the two colleagues, but he still couldn't restrain his anger, but he still lowered his tone a little. "I was selected from the military camp. I can still be in charge of things, but the paperwork reports that I can't. My requirements are not high. I don't want those who are smart and capable. Just give me a few who can do things quietly." Li An sighed He took a deep breath and put forward his intentions for coming. He doesn't ask these people how capable they are, they just need to be able to not do wrong things, and just don't point fingers at will.

"Pellie, we're almost exhausted of the good-for-nothings and those who are not in the top class. Except for your cousin, there are only a few people who are still useful. Why don't you first review the Imperial Academy, editors or six-year-olds?" Some small officials from the department brought it to the top, at least they have some ability." Hu Ji sighed, this is also a hopeless way, tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, no matter what, first repair the most important wall. "That's the only way, but I have to tell the Holy One." Jia Zhen thought for a while, and now she can only do this first. "Success, then I'll wait for your news, hurry up." Li An got angry for a long time, and finally calmed down a bit, and threw his robes to leave. "Brother Shuqi, remember to pay for the cup." Jia Zhen pointed to the teacup that was broken by Li An, and said weakly.

Li An paused, then nodded. Recently, the cups and cups in all ministries are consumables. Judging by Jia Zhen and Hu Ji's appearance, there are not a few people in the bureaucracy throwing cups these days. "I have a headache, go out and get some air." Hu Ji shook his head. If Enke elects such people next year, he will definitely go crazy.Jia Zhen thought about passing the booklet to Zheng Hedi, but one thing he and Hu Ji thought of going together, no matter what, at least they should have an induction training.Otherwise, if you enter the central government, you will harm them, and if you enter the grassroots, you will harm the people.

Each of the six ministries had headaches, and even Emperor Zhenghe also had a headache. He repeatedly picked and pulled the court. There were only a few people who needed to use it and used it smoothly. The merits of having one's own ears and minds are naturally indispensable to the credits of the censors. In the past, they were not so active when impeaching those snake and mouse officials. Now it is only a few days, and there are already fifty books on the impeachment of Jia Zhen. There are 45 books, 47 books by Hu Ji, and 57 books by Li Junwang. They are all extravagant, but none of them can do things like these confidants like myself.

Jia Zhen's memorial was quickly approved by Emperor Zhenghe. The most important thing right now is the operation of the six departments. Emperor Zhenghe didn't expect those who looked good in the past, and each of them was a real imperial examination background. He didn't expect to be able to use it but rarely Poor, no matter what, I also stayed in the Hanlin Academy, and the evaluations were mostly not bad. "My lord, I have an idea. These people are indeed elites. However, their ability to do things is not only comparable to their reading ability, but also their practical ability. If nothing else, just talk about the affairs of the household department. If you are not proficient in accounting details It is indeed difficult to get started right away. Moreover, these recruits, especially poor children, often support several people for several generations. They study all day long and do not have much contact with general affairs. It's extremely difficult for the Ministry to do things." Jia Zhen said neither humble nor overbearing.

"I remember that Aiqing did not do badly at that time. Among all the officials this time, the performance of Aiqing's younger brother Jia Hu is extremely rare, and it can be said to be remarkable." Emperor Zhenghe smiled slightly, I am satisfied with Jia Zhen's report, but it is not enough to find out the problem, we must come up with a solution. "Your Majesty is absurd. I was taught by my grandfather since I was a child. My grandfather often said that a man doesn't sweep a house, so why sweep the world, so he often taught me to be familiar with common affairs. As for my younger brother's performance, I did not expect it." .” Jia Zhen said with a faint smile. "Jia Aiqing doesn't need to be modest, other people may not be clear to me, but I have heard about the Jia family's affairs. Aiqing, the patriarch, has indeed done a good job." Emperor Zhenghe said with a smile, turning the tea bowl in his hand.

"I have a way. As the saying goes, one rice raises a hundred kinds of people. Even the disciples of the sage Confucius have their own strengths, and the same is true for these Jinshi who came from the imperial examination. Therefore, I have the courage to screen and train these Jinshi. They are assigned to different departments according to their performance, instead of arranging all these Jinshi into the Imperial Academy, or randomly giving them a job." Jia Zhen said, he had discussed this plan with Hu Ji, and it was his own idea He should give the current officials an assessment, but it was Hu Ji who held him back.The new imperial examination candidates have no foundation, so there are still many obstacles to doing so. If even those officials who already have foundations want to take action, they may not be able to resist.

"Your method is novel, but—how about it, Aiqing will draw up a charter and submit it, and I will think about it again." Emperor Zhenghe felt that Jia Zhen's method was a bit unexpected, and it was a good one, but he still wanted to Take a closer look to decide. "Minister obeys the order." Jia Zhen didn't expect to get Zhenghedi to agree immediately, but with Zhenghedi's words, this matter can be done. Now he is really dizzy by those so-called outstanding talents. His ability to handle affairs is not as good as that of his own servant, but it's just hard to say that.

"Your Majesty seems to value Jia Shilang very much." Eunuch Cen, Emperor Zhenghe's confidant, asked tentatively. "You have been by my side for 20 years. You know what the Jia family looked like back then. No one in the capital would say that the Jia family has no successors. It seems that they are not far from failure. But now—all this Jia Shilang can't be separated." The corners of Zheng and Emperor's mouths curled up, Jia Zhen's ruthlessness in cleaning up her house at the beginning caused a lot of gossip in the capital, and she was almost portrayed as a Shura-like character.Although such a character can be done very well elsewhere, it is more suitable for the official department, and this talent must be used wisely.

"Your Majesty is wise." Eunuch Cen hurriedly flattered him. He originally thought that Emperor Zhenghe would let Jia Zhen go to the Ministry of Household Affairs. As expected, it is His Majesty who thinks more far-sighted than others. If Master Jia manages well, he will definitely be in front of the Emperor's eyes in the future. Red man, I should be more courteous to Lord Jia. "Stop flattering, I see, there will be a lot of excitement in the court at that time." Emperor Zhenghe glanced at his confidant, scolded with a smile, and pointed to the thick impeachment papers on his desk. "Since the Holy Majesty trusts Lord Jia, this Lord Jia must be able to deal with it. This servant thinks that Lord Jia doesn't look like a man without a city, I'm afraid he has already known it." Eunuch Cen said with a smile. "These censors are not easy to deal with." Emperor Zhenghe was noncommittal. If Jia Zhen could deal with these censors, he would naturally give Jia Zhen better treatment. After all, Zhou Shangshu was old, and it was time to take care of himself.

The six departments are so busy that they can't manage their own one-acre three-point land, so naturally they don't have much energy to focus on such things as finding fault, but there are still quite a few departments in the entire court who are very idle and hold certain words Power, such as the Inspectorate.Whether it is the king of Lijun, what Jia Zhen did in the local area, or the purge of the emperor and the emperor, the inspectorate was quite embarrassed. The children on the street made up a lot of rumors that they are better than selling steamed buns as censors. Yes, the king of Lijun is a royal family, and now he is in charge of Enke. They are not easy to do anything, but Jia Zhen has changed so many officials these days, and they just have a ready-made handle. They don't believe it. .

Hu Ji listened to the eloquence of the censors, accusing Jia Zhen and him of taking the opportunity to exclude dissidents, and found it funny that they had disobedience, but it was a pity that he was stupid, and was dismissed by the censors before he even said a few words. He beat him up first, but he looked at Jia Boxi's carefree expression, as if he didn't care. "Is the Youdu Yushi finished?" Jia Zhen asked with a smile when the Youdu Yushi finally stopped to catch his breath, and said.

"Yes." Yushi Youdu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Jia Zhen's gourd, so he nodded and said. "That's good." Jia Zhen nodded, and then said, "In front of you, the right capital censor, the left deputy governor censor and ten censors impeached Weichen and Lord Hu Jihu, but now the minister wants to impeach the whole Dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty by the Procuratorate." Jia Zhen smiled slightly, with a clear voice and clear words. "This move by the minister and Mr. Hu is really helpless, and the colleagues of the six ministries can even testify for the humble minister. Although these officials have passed the imperial examination, they are indeed the elite of the court, but they often make mistakes in handling various affairs, resulting in a document being rejected. If you don't check repeatedly, it will increase your burden. In the past, the Ministry of Officials had neglected their duties, but the Inspectorate was also to blame. The people's lives were hard and they did not report it. Officials were corrupt and dereliction of duty, and they did not report it. The method to deal with such an extraordinary time, the current difficulties of the imperial court, and the lack of talents are caused by the negligence of duties of the Inspectorate. If there is a mistake between Wei Chen and Mr. Hu, it is the trend of the situation, but the Inspectorate is making mistakes , Concealing and conniving, leading to the degeneration of the imperial court, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are starved of food. It is a big mistake, and the crime should be punished. When the six ministries were in a hurry, the Inspectorate not only failed to fulfill its duties, but took the opportunity to make trouble. It is also a big mistake to criticize colleagues. Just these two mistakes, I think they are enough to hand over to the Ministry of Punishment, and some of them may not be the fish that slipped through the net that day." Jia Zhen's words landed loudly, which shocked the censors for a while. , it has always been only the censor who impeached hundreds of officials, how can an official impeach the censor, or even the entire Inspectorate.

"Your Majesty, you can see that Jia Zhen is turning a deer into a horse, confounding black and white. The minister's loyalty can shine like the sun and the moon, but he was framed like this. Your Majesty must learn from you." Zuodu Yushi was so angry that his face turned pale and he was about to say I can't speak. "Your Majesty, the sage still speaks. Listen to his words and watch his actions. I think it is not enough to just rely on Zuodu Censor's words. Those officials are not devoted to the court, but what they do is very important to the court. No, it would be more labor-intensive, so it can be regarded as a loyal heart, if so, why are Yan Song and his like rated as traitors and traitors." Jia Zhen smiled slightly, and straightened her robes, "The ministers are incompetent, these According to His Majesty's will, the day has sorted out the documents and documents of previous years, and I think that those documents and documents should be used to speak. As for the evaluation, don't believe it, otherwise why did you find so many moths of the country."

Before the Holy Majesty could speak, Xu Wenqing, the left servant of the household department, came out. He was very dissatisfied with the Inspectorate. What kind of life are they living these days? Packing things and being their subordinates, as for those words, he couldn't hear them even more. It is understandable that they are lacking in practical work because they are the most expensive to study. "My lord, I have a word. Although the officials in the court have been evaluated well in the past years, as Jia Shilang said, it still depends on their words and deeds." After Xu Wenqing stood up, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who had never spoken much, also appeared on the list. Second, Jia Zhen, these days they are very busy here, if you want to say that they are the most angry with those incompetent officials, what kind of department is the Ministry of Industry, the famous Qingshui Yamen, but all kinds of trivial matters are here , What about river channels, town planning, according to what the censors said just now, they were not serious Jinshi before, so they deserved to do these things.Jia Zhen was so right when she scolded just now, this group of people who don't hurt their backs when they stand and talk.

"The king is the leader of the ministers. The sage does not hesitate to lose his reputation, but he also wants to eliminate the officials. He is a sage. The ministers are dedicated to the sage and put on the saddle, even if they are smashed to pieces. The six ministers are all like this, but the words of the few censors just now are really unreasonable." Yes, Yasheng once said that it is better to have no books than to have no books. All the ministers and workers have been officials for many years, and they have handled countless affairs over the years. Is there one thing that you get from books? Of course, Zuodu Censor It's not unreasonable, the court is currently short of talents, and I think this is the opportunity for the censors to perform." Jia Zhen's quarrel skills are not bad, but people often get angry because of his strong style. Ignoring his eloquence, he just happened to dig a trap for them to jump into. It's because these censors are too leisurely to look for things all day long, so they should have something to do.

"My brother has a word." Prince Li said hastily. "Say." Zheng Hedi was in a good mood, although he didn't show it on his face, he could hear some clues in his tone. "What Jia Shilang said, I deeply believe it. This time, I have visited the three provinces under the order of the sage, and I have a deep understanding. It can be said that it is completely beyond my expectation, and the people's livelihood is difficult. I think the censors have been in the court for too long. , not in contact with the people's livelihood, that's why they are so demanding on their colleagues, regardless of their feelings. I thought it would be better to send censors to inspect various places, investigate and deal with corrupt officials, and share the worries for you." Pale face, this good capital city does not stay, asked them to go to various places to inspect, thinking of those poor and remote places, the censors couldn't help but look black.

"What the king of Lijun said is very much in line with my wishes, so let the two servants of the official department arrange it." Emperor Zhenghe waved his hand. He has been dissatisfied with the officials of the Inspectorate for a long time, but they are nothing compared to those people. Fish and shrimp, he is lazy and fussy.Now that it hits the muzzle of the gun, don't blame him. "Your Majesty is wise." Prince Li, Jia Zhen, Hu Ji and others hurriedly kowtowed. Seeing his situation, other courtiers hurriedly knelt down and bowed together.

After the court, Prince Li used the pretext of going along the way to go with Jia Zhen and Hu Ji. "This king never thought that Mrs. Jia's population would be so great." Li Junwang smiled warmly, making people feel like a spring breeze. "I didn't expect the king of the county to help me." Jia Zhen had a smile on her face. Although the king of Li's move was beyond his expectation, it coincided with his idea. Confidant, there is no conflict of interest right now, so there is no need to be polite. "This king just thinks that the court is a place for business affairs, not a place for verbal disputes. There are too many sparrows, so it's a bit annoying." Li Junwang's smile remained unchanged, but his voice was a little cold for no reason. Jia Zhen and Hu Ji Immediately understood, now that the prince was able to retreat from the battle for the heir apparent, and became the right-hand man of Emperor Zhenghe, how could he not know that those censors did not impeach him in private?

"The king of the county is very leisurely, and it's rare to go on the same road, why not go for a drink?" Jia Zhen raised her eyebrows and said. "No, Mr. Jia and Mr. Hu still have important matters to attend to. It's inconvenient for this king to assist Enke now. Why don't we talk about it some other day." Prince Li laughed and walked slowly in the other direction OK. "This prince of Li County is also a rare and interesting person." Hu Ji lowered his voice and said.This is a gesture of goodwill, but it is not a gesture of goodwill. "He just wants us to remember this trivial matter. Who in this court doesn't look up and see down." Jia Zhen was a little unclear about the meaning of Prince Li, anyway, let's write it down first.

"However, it's quiet now, so let's take the opportunity to draw up the charter, so as not to miss the opportunity." Although Hu Ji is not eloquent, he can clearly see that it is the time when all ministries are in a hurry and there are many troubles. On their side, if they missed this opportunity, it would be much harder to accomplish that. "What you said is true, but I see those students will be very noisy." Jia Zhen smiled lightly, patted Hu Ji on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go back and get down to business."
