Chapter 137 Investigate the deficiencies of those who resigned from office! Arrest them immediately!
Chapter 137 Check the deficit of those who resign! You will arrest them as soon as you find them!
Zhang Gui and Tianqi have long reached a consensus.
The consensus is that if we want to make the Ming Dynasty revival, we must eliminate the powerful and honorable bureaucrats.
This is also the reason why Zhang Gui dared to directly order the servants to shoot at Yang Jingchen and other civil servants.
Moreover, Zhang Gui had already expected that his actions would cause dissatisfaction among many civil servants.
In addition to Fu Queqi's way of expressing his dissatisfaction, these civil servants would have the only option of resigning after being disappointed if they did not have any conspiracies and tricks behind their backs.
Because Zhang Gui expected that many civil servants would resign, he asked Tianqi in advance and asked Tianqi to improve the examination method and the official selection system, and took the opportunity to establish an audit system for departing officials and a new official examination.
system.
Because the original examination method only takes the current examination system to become an in-service official, but has not yet become the system to resign.
The original official selection system has no other examination system except for the imperial examination.
Many officials often need to make a decision by the officials of the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department and the Ministry of War's Wuxuan Department or based on the number of bribes given by the selected person.
However, the Ming Dynasty needed professional bureaucrats, especially middle and lower classes, so it was necessary to select officials through more professional exams.
Zhang Gui decided to take this opportunity to make a statement and let Tianqi issue an order to reform the examination law and the official selection system. It is also a lesson for those who decide to resign because of dissatisfaction with him. First, officials who are embezzled and deficits will be given.
It was dealt with before he left Beijing, so that these corrupt officials could not return to their hometowns to harm the people. In addition, other officials on duty dared not resigned again.
"An opportunity for reform?"
Han Yu and Wei Zhongxian looked at each other after hearing this.
At this time, Zhang Gui signaled Chen Zizhuang to explain first.
Chen Zizhuang said: "First of all, take this opportunity to form an inspection team with officials who support the reform to conduct a resignation supervision of the outgoing officials, to check whether they have left any deficits during their tenure, whether they have unfinished government affairs, and whether they are in the imperial court.
When the approval is issued, leave the duty early, and the deficits left behind shall be ordered to be compensated within a time limit, or the house shall be searched for recovery; if the unfinished government affairs shall be completed within a time limit; if the imperial approval is issued, the consequences shall be determined according to the severity of the consequences
If the military opportunity is seriously delayed, you can be killed!"
After hearing this, Han Yu was quite surprised and asked, "In other words, take advantage of the opportunity of a large number of officials resigning to start such supervision?"
"That's right! Without rules, you cannot make a square basis. Even if you resign, you must be responsible to the court, to the country, to the people of the world. You cannot affect the entire government because of your resignation. As the saying goes, do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.
This is also a supplement to the test method.”
Zhang Gui added at this time.
Chen Zizhuang continued to add: "Secondly, since there are a large number of people resigning this time, we naturally have to select a large number of new officials from the alternate officials in a short period of time. In this way, the Ministry of Personnel will have to add new alternate officials to the Ministry of Personnel.
.According to previous examples, the Ministry of Personnel selected students from all over the country, and those with talented talents were selected as alternate officials, but for the Ministry of Personnel, there were many different good and bad people. Since this is the case, we decided to set up another one in addition to the imperial examination.
The door exam is called the official exam. The trial begins with the central government offices.”
"Each official yamen summarizes the number of officials that the yamen needs to be supplemented and added to the Ministry of Personnel one year in advance. The Ministry of Personnel issues alternate officials who need to be appointed by the court to the whole country, and the Ministry of Personnel holds official examinations every year to participate in the official examinations.
The examiner will make temporary arrangements. Then those who pass the exam can first observe the government as a Jinshi in the government office, and then arrange their actual positions after one year of observing politics."
After hearing this, Han Yu nodded: "This will prevent the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department and the Ministry of War's Wuxuan Department from selling official positions due to excessive power, and the entire court's administration will be corrupted. At least those who want to rely on bribes to be officials will bribe more.
A few officials can do it, and they have to be like the imperial examination. They have to know who is the chief examiner before they can take the lead. This is indeed conducive to the clear and clear administration."
As he said that, Han asked Wei Zhongxian: "What does Eunuch Wei think?"
Wei Zhongxian said: "You guys have decided on the matters of the outside court. Just draw up the decree and approve the dividends for our family."
Han Du knew that Wei Zhongxian said this in an agreement, so he drafted the decree and handed it over to Wei Zhongxian to criticize the reign and become the imperial edict.
At the same time, the resignation memorials of more than 600 civil officials were not immediately voted to be awarded the award.
Zhang Gui, Han Yu and others first agreed on the officials of the supervision team responsible for the outgoing audit investigation, including Xu Guangqi, Bi Ziyan, Wen Zhenmeng, Jiang Dejing, and Qi Biaojia, among them, officials who supported the reform.
Leading the leaders were Xu Guangqi, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Bi Ziyan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
However, they will all temporarily serve as the supervisory censor and investigate these officials who are preparing to resign as Chief Feng.
Xu Guangqi and Bi Ziyan have good abilities in mathematics and money accounting.
Therefore, it is still easy for them to investigate the true financial situation of these officials during their tenure.
However, what Liu Guangdou and others did not expect was that the court did not directly approve their resignation as before, but instead issued a system to supervise the resignation of officials who submitted memorials and resigned.
Bang!
After Liu Guangdou learned of this edict, he fell directly from the chair to the ground, and his face turned pale: "I actually don't want to resign from my post that much."
Zhang Sunzhen glanced at Liu Guangdou and hurried over to help him up: "Why do you have to say that? If they want to investigate, I don't believe it. Xu Zixian, Bi Jinghui and other people dare to frame him?!"
"But the problem is that I didn't expect these cruel officials and Mr. Zhang who wanted to carry out reforms would come up with such a vicious way! Leaving office supervision, checking deficits, and checking lazy government. This is simply a matter of forcing people to die.
!”
Liu Wandou said in pain.
Zhang Sunzhen, who had just passed the Jinshi and didn't have to worry about any deficits, didn't hate this system so deeply, and said: "They have always been so mean, what can I do?"
Bang!
"Is Liu Wandou, the head of the official department, here?"
At this time, the curtain was thrown, and several Jinyiwei and several civil servants walked in.
The leader is Wen Zhenmeng.
Wen Zhenmeng said: "We are the supervisory censors of the outgoing supervision team. Now we are ordered to take him against him. If we hide it, we will be punished for the same crime!"
After hearing this, Liu Wandou hurriedly hid in the inner room and said to Zhang Sunzhen: "Just say I'm not here!"
"He's here!"
Zhang Sunzhen hurriedly shouted.
Liu Wandou looked at Zhang Sunzhen with an incredible look on his face.
Zhang Sunzhen had already stood outside the screen and bowed to Wen Zhenmeng and others who had already walked over and said, "Don't blame me! Wansheng was just talking about the classics with Liu Huijian here, and he didn't know what deficiencies he had in his office.
”
As he said that, Zhang Sunzhen pointed at Liu Wandou: "He is the official department to advise Liu Wandou."
Wen Zhenmeng nodded when he saw this and said to Liu Wandou: "Because you submitted a memorial to resign, we conducted an investigation into your time as a minister in charge of the official department. There are three accounts unknown, the largest of which is the official department.
Procurement, why do you keep accounts at 30,000 taels, but the actual expenses of the official department only cost 5,000 taels, and there are still 20,000 taels? Although your accounts are strange, Bibutang and Xubutang still checked
Come out, you can explain it to them."
Wen Zhenmeng said that, and said to the Jinyiwei official school who was transferred to the supervision team to serve, "Take him away."
The Jinyiwei raised Liu Wandou, who had lost his mind.
Liu Wandou came back to his senses at this time and said, "Duke Wen, I will not resign, I will not resign. Can you stop investigating me again? I will make up for the 20,000 taels of deficit later!"
Chapter completed!
