Because of this reform of the administration, Fang Congzhe followed Zhu Youxiao's will and summoned the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Nine Ministers to hold a court meeting on the Ganqing Palace platform.

The so-called Nine Ministers are the official officials of the three yamen: the Six Ministers, the Censorate, the Tongzhengsi, and the Dali Temple.

Zhu Youxiao listened to the content discussed by the Grand Secretary and the Nine Ministers in the inner study and made specific decisions.

After Fang Congzhe proposed that the court should implement the system of examination and official rewards, the Grand Secretary and the Nine Ministers were not surprised.

Because they have realized that His Majesty is a king who is determined to innovate based on the past behavior of Emperor Zhu Youxiao and the previous reminder of Fang Congzhe.

"This policy should be implemented earlier, otherwise the government will continue to be corrupted like this, which will not be conducive to the long-term stability of the dynasty!"

The second assistant Han expressed his opinion first.

He knew that the examination and the official reward system were the emperor's intention, and the emperor was behind the scenes, so he naturally would not express different opinions, and he even made a statement at the forefront.

"Once the examination method is implemented, it will be difficult for all officials to focus on reciting poetry, playing chess, talking about the mind and nature, discussing the Five Classics, and even speculating in the camp, and have to find a way to get promoted between documents! This is a good policy that benefits the country and the people."

Li Ruhua, Minister of Personnel, also expressed his opinion. He had been blackmailed by the civil servants of Chongwen Temple and was denounced as a treacherous minister who started the first harsh rule in two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Li Ruhua, who cherishes his feathers, dare not sit on the side of the officials and gentry anymore. In addition, he also knew the emperor's thoughts, so he did not object.

The same is true for other Grand Secretarys and Nine Ministers, and they all tactfully did not express their objections.

Even Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, tactfully did not object.

Therefore, the examination method and the incentive system were officially implemented.

Officials of the Ming Dynasty who had been used to being lazy since the middle of Wanli began to have to be forced to cheer up in the winter of the first year of the Tianqi period.

This means that the Zhang Juzheng era will come again.

For many officials, the Zhang Juzheng era was simply a nightmare.

Because the officials of that era were like Sun Wukong who was covered with a tight hoop, they had to work hard for various government affairs every day.

Although many of the officials in charge of the Ming Dynasty have not experienced the Zhang Juzheng era, they have also heard about the great achievements of the examination and the law from their parents.

Therefore, when the examination method was officially announced, it was like a bolt from the blue to many officials.

Although the methods of maintaining integrity and incentives stipulated by the incentive system attached to the examination law are very attractive.

For example, a governor will receive 2,000 taels of silver for the annual maintenance of integrity, and he can resign and retire after he is fifty-five years old. After resigning, he will receive 5,000 taels of silver for a total of ten years of honor.

A governor is usually the title of Chief Censor, and he is the fourth rank.

According to the current salary payment standards in the "Ming Ming Hui Dian", the regular annual salary income of a governor is twelve shi of rice, sixty-two taels of silver, and more than one thousand eight ten thousand guan of treasure money.

Baochao is almost the same as waste paper.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao's integrity maintenance silver for the governor was far more than his regular income.

What's more, after retiring, there is also Rong Yangyin, which is two and a half times more than Yangyin.

This can already allow a governor to live a very good life.

After all, in this era, twelve taels of silver earnings a year are considered high salaries.

But the Ming officials had a lot of gray income.

Therefore, many officials with high gray incomes are not tempted by this integrity-raising incentive system, but are only irritated and angry at the subsequent increase in workload.

The six departments and the censors of the Censorate had the greatest objection.

Because these officials were collectively called the slogans of the Kedao in the past.

Before the implementation of the law, they had the greatest power and could interfere with anything, from the formulation of the court's national policies to the judgment of a criminal case.

It can be said that in the past they were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the one

Because if the emperor was not diligent and did not attend court, they could also say a few words.

But now the emperor wants the cabinet to be the test.

It's equivalent to letting the cabinet manage them.

These censors are naturally unwilling to do so, especially in accordance with the detailed requirements of the examination and examination law, they must audit the decrees of the six ministries and local officials on the same day, and submit them to the cabinet in preparation for the question book. They must even complete the backlog of government affairs before June next year.

However, this is not a small amount of work.

Because the Ming Dynasty is very big, there are many prefectures and prefectures that have occurred in various matters that have to be audited after determining the handling opinions.

What's more, because the Ming Dynasty is now lazy and has accumulated a lot of redundant tasks, if the Six Cities want to complete this task, they will lose their energy to recite poems and play chess and even criticize other government affairs.

"The officials came to see the Otsukakuya because they wanted to ask the Otsukakuya why he did not stop His Majesty from doing this. This examination is the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel, and our subject censor supervises the Ministry of Personnel. How can the cabinet now be above our six subjects and the Censorate?!"

Censor Li Yingsheng and other censors found Li Ruhua, the Minister of Personnel, to talk about this.

"That's it! The master of Otsuka, this is too serious and practical. This will undoubtedly be the same as this winter, making my Ming Dynasty officialdom full of murderous aura! Therefore, we cannot let them break the rules and regulations of the court!"

After Li Yingsheng said that, Hou Xun also agreed.

"It even prevents my censor from discussing political affairs in the future, and has to do anything to do it! This is simply a way to stop my Daming speech! I also ask the Otsukazu to not act according to his examination orders! To abide by the rules and regulations of the court!"

Chen Liangxun, the minister of the official department, also said this.

"That's right! Please ask the Otsukata to reject the cabinet's examination order to abide by the court's rules and regulations!"

Shen Weiji, the right-level clerk in the military department, also started talking.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial edict will be drafted by the cabinet, and then the official rituals will be approved by the officials and supervisors. Finally, the final imperial edict will be made by the cabinet, and then the six departments will be issued to the Tongzheng Department, and finally the six departments or other government offices will be given according to the order.

Usually, if the cabinet's order is incorrect, the six ministers can reject the memorial and advice.

Now, after receiving the imperial edict for the examination and law, these censors first found Li Ruhua, the Minister of Personnel, and wanted Li Ruhua, the Minister of Personnel, to refute the orders for them to prevent the imperial edicts issued by the cabinet.

Because the six departments directly rejected the cabinet's will, the emperor directly killed the censors of the six departments.

Therefore, these censors thought that Li Ruhua was an important official of the court, and this time the Ministry of Personnel suffered the greatest loss of power in the examination of the law. Moreover, the imperial edict for the examination of the law will be issued to the Ministry of Personnel to be executed by the Ministry of Personnel, so they found Li Ruhua and wanted Li Ruhua to stand up for them.

Li Ruhua, the Minister of Personnel, looked at the censors who came to see him and said coldly: "The examination and success method is actually a good policy for reforming the administration of officials! This hall has always agreed with you. You don't have to say anything anymore. It is important to go back and deal with all kinds of political affairs as soon as possible."

Li Yingsheng and other censors did not expect that Li Ruhua would actually support the examination and Chengfa, and was both disappointed and angry for a moment.

Hou Xun even shouted loudly on the spot: "Li Suizhou! Do you really think that only the people from Chongwen Temple will reveal your truth, and we will not impeach you?!"

"That's right, Li Suizhou, where did you go in the past? You are like clay sculptures. You obey the cabinet's words. Others say you only act on Fang Daxing's order. I didn't believe it, but now you believe it. You are not worthy of being the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel!"

Chen Liangxun also scolded Li Ruhua for coming.

Li Ruhua blushed on the spot, although it was common for Ming officials and even many senior officials to be scolded by censors, and it seemed that they were especially cooked.

But now Li Ruhua still couldn't stand it and had to say: "Li was not obeying the cabinet's words, Li was just obeying the emperor's order. If you want to impeach, you can go and impeach!"
Chapter completed!
