Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

In the court and the opposition, as the emperor's will was issued, a complete turmoil rose.

Almost all the officials tried their best to clean up their respective foundations, for fear that the Dongchang factory would find them on their bodies.

However, these officials don't know that no matter how they clean up their foundation, as long as the East Factory wants to investigate, none of them can escape the East Factory's means.

The Ministry of Accounts Office.

Cao Zhengchun took the factory guard and rushed into the Ministry of Household Office, arrested all the people in the Ministry of Household Office, and directly destroyed the Office of the Ministry of Household Office.

"Reporting to the factory, everyone from the Ministry of Household Secretary's Office has been arrested."

"However, the Fan Shaohe who entered the House of Ministers of the Household last night was not among them."

A factory guard came over and reported to Cao Zhengchun.

Uh?

Ran?

Cao Zhengchun raised his eyebrows.

Last night, Cao Zhengchun had already found out that the stranger who entered the House of Ministers of the Ministry of Housing was Fan Shaohe, the young master of the Fan family in Jiexiu.

Now, Fan Shaohe is not among those arrested.

So needless to say, Fan Shaohe probably ran away.

"Send the factory guard to investigate and find him for the miscellaneous family, so he can't escape."

Cao Zhengchun said softly.

To be able to run under the supervision of the factory guards, it is somewhat capable.

However, if you run away, the monk can't run away from the temple.

It is not so easy to escape from Luoyang City.

Besides, even Jiexiu's Fan family is about to be wiped out. Where can Young Master Fan and a young master from the Fan family run away?

"Yes, factory master."

...

Cining Palace.

The queen mother also knew what happened in the courtroom.

The queen mother looked at Zhou Zhi, the king of Shu who came to greet her early in the morning; "Zhi'er, you see it!"

"That's why Aijia asked you so seriously yesterday. Things in the courtroom are unpredictable."

"None of those ministers are easy ones."

"Since you dare to scold Your Majesty in the courtroom, you still want to assassinate Your Majesty."

"It's really audacious."

"Zhi'er, when you came back, remember what Aijia said to you yesterday, so as not to get involved."

The Queen Mother looked at Zhou Zhi and reminded him again.

Zhou Zhi smiled and nodded; "Don't worry, Empress, my son knows the importance and won't be involved in those matters in the courtroom."

Zhou Zhi was calm on the surface, but he was already restless in his heart.

Zhou Zhi never thought that within a day of his return, an accident happened to Fan Yongdou, the minister of the household, and the Jiexiu Fan family was also ordered to be exterminated.

This can be a bit of a hassle.

You know, he has already had a plot with the three major families.

If Fan Yongdou, the Minister of the Ministry of Household, broke this matter, even he, the King of Shu, would have to eat and walk around.

In a restless heart, Zhou Zhi and the Queen Mother chatted a few more words, then got up and left the Cining Palace.

After leaving the palace, Zhou Zhi, the king of Shu, walked towards the palace of the king with a solemn expression.

On the way, seeing the factory guard arrest some officials, Zhou Zhi's face flashed a trace of worry.

As soon as he returned to Luoyang, the minister of households Fan Yongdou and Jiexiu's family were ordered by his imperial brother to raid their homes and exterminate their families.

This made Zhou Zhi have to worry, whether their plan was wiped out by his imperial brother?

Although it was said that the Minister of the Household, Fan Yongdou, was taken down because of corruption, the Jiexiu Fan family was also ordered to be executed because the Minister of the Household wanted to assassinate His Majesty in the courtroom.

It all seems reasonable and no problem.

But Zhou Zhi always felt that this matter was not so simple.

It is impossible that he had just made a plan with the three major families and returned to Luoyang, and the Fan Yongdou and Jiexiu Fan family were ordered to be executed by his imperial brother.

This seems too coincidental.

With a lot of thought, Zhou Zhi returned to the palace of the king of Shu.

Sitting in the study.

After thinking for half an hour, Zhou Zhi summoned the housekeeper Sande.

"Sande, contact them immediately, be careful of the factory guards."

"At the same time, immediately send someone to tell Ji Wusheng what happened to the Fan family. Ji Wusheng knows what to do."

Zhou Zhi looked at San De cautiously and said.

The affair between Fan Yongdou and the Fan family caught Zhou Zhi by surprise.

Zhou Zhi could not immediately contact the other two to see how to deal with this.

If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

"Yes, my lord."

Sande didn't dare to be negligent, nodded, and immediately left the study.

...

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After Zhou Chen retreated to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, his face was gloomy.

Fan Yongdou's actions in the court just now greatly exceeded Zhou Chen's expectations.

Zhou Chen didn't expect that Fan Yongdou would dare to scold him for being a fool in the courtroom, and he wanted to violently assassinate him as an emperor. He was really courting death.

What made Zhou Chen gloomy the most was that Fan Yongdou's troubles suddenly disrupted Zhou Chen's plans.

Originally, Zhou Chen wanted to use the reason of checking the household department to gradually clean up the officials in the court, and then move the three major families.

But now, after Fan Yongdou made such a riot in the courtroom, Zhou Chen had to order the Jiexiu Fan family to be executed.

If Zhou Chen can even tolerate Fan Yongdou's rebellious behavior in the court, and if he doesn't punish his family, then Zhou Chen, the emperor, is not the emperor of Da Zhou.

"It's really that the plan can't keep up with the changes."

Zhou Chen sighed secretly in his heart.

Now Zhou Chen ordered to destroy the Jiexiu Fan family, relying on the energy of the Jiexiu Fan family.

Zhou Chen knew that it would not take long for Fan Jia to receive the news.

It will not be so easy for the imperial court to imagine dealing with the Fan family as it did with the Boling Cui family.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites is asking to see you."

At this time, a factory guard came in and reported.

"Let him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The factory guard turned around and left.

After a while, Du Ruhui walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"My minister, Du Ruhui has met Your Majesty." After entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Du Ruhui bowed respectfully to Zhou Chen on the dragon chair.

Zhou Chen raised his eyes and looked at Du Ruhui who walked in and said, "Keming doesn't need to be too polite."

"Ke Ming came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see me, what's the matter?" Zhou Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of officials that the minister has sorted out overnight."

"Please also take a look at Your Majesty."

Du Ruhui took out a list and sent it to Zhou Chen.

"Oh!"

"How fast!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes.

Du Ruhui and Liu Ye, who were summoned by Zhou Chen last night, discussed the matters that Du Ruhui sorted out this morning.

It can be seen that Du Ruhui probably hadn't slept all night.

No wonder Du Ruhui died of illness in history.

The efficiency of staying up late to handle political affairs is hard not to die of illness.

Zhou Chen thought to himself, took the list, opened it, and looked at it directly.

This is a piece of advice given by Du Ruhui and Liu Ye when Zhou Chen summoned Du Ruhui and Liu Ye last night.

That is to say, the number of officials in the courtroom of the three major families is quite large. If all of them are cleaned up, not to mention the turmoil caused, it is a question of whether these positions can be filled in a short period of time.

Therefore, Du Ruhui and Liu Ye suggested that these officials should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Use what can be used, keep what can be kept, and clean up what needs to be cleaned up.

Can't go down with one knife, they're all cut.

That's not the solution to the problem.

Zhou Chen did not object to Du Ruhui and Liu Ye's suggestion.

Zhou Chen knows that there are not so many honest and upright ministers in the world, and there is no such obvious distinction between black and white, and some always have more advantages than disadvantages.

As long as these officials have the ability and can be used by the emperor Zhou Chen, then even if they are greedy for some money and do some deeds, Zhou Chen can accommodate them.

As an emperor, he is big if he has tolerance.

When the water is clear, there are no fish.

Zhou Chen understands this truth.

Of course, it cannot be used by the emperor Zhou Chen, so no matter how capable he is, there is only one ending.

After Zhou Chen read the list sent by Du Ruhui, he pondered for a while, then picked up the pen and crossed out a few names on the list.

Then, Zhou Chen returned the list to Du Ruhui; "Ke Ming, I know that you are an honest and upright official, and you despise those filthy people."

"However, when the water is clear, there are no fish. You should understand."

"Every official has his good side. As long as he can be used by us, the benefits to Da Zhou outweigh the disadvantages, then he is the official we need in Da Zhou."

"On the contrary, if it can't be used by me, it will do more harm than good to Da Zhou. Even if he is talented, then to me and Da Zhou, he is also a corpse."

After Zhou Chen returned the list to Du Ruhui, he said to Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui heard the words, his eyes flickered, and he immediately understood what Zhou Chen meant; "Your Majesty's words will be remembered by this minister."

"After I go back, I will immediately reorganize the list of these officials."

Du Ruhui bowed and said.

Zhou Chen nodded.

He could understand the thoughts of Du Ruhui's loyal and good officials.

Loyal and good ministers like Du Ruhui and the others can't wait to clean up all those treacherous officials and corrupt officials, so that the entire court can be replaced by honest and upright ministers like them.

But is this possible?

The most important thing in the court is the word balance.

It can't be all white, and it can't be all black.

To balance yin and yang, is the long-term way.

If they are all the same color, it is the opposition between imperial power and vassal power.

"Keming, this time to clean up the household, you can say that the burden on your shoulders is the heaviest."

"Ziyang and the others just investigate and arrest people, but you are responsible for filling up the vacancies of these officers who have been taken down in a timely manner."

"Once you can't fill the vacancies of these officials in time, it will have a big impact, and even paralyze the center of the court."

"So, filling these vacancies is the top priority. You must not let too many vacancies for officials in the courtroom."

"Otherwise, the impact will be huge."

Zhou Chen looked at Du Ruhui with a cautious face and said.

Liu Ye was in charge of checking the household department, and Du Ruhui was in charge of selecting officials and filling the vacancies of those officials who were taken down.

It can be said that the importance of Du Ruhui's election officials is no less than that of Liu Ye's household inspection department.

If Du Ruhui couldn't fill these vacant positions in time, then many government affairs of the court would be delayed.

In that case, it will definitely cause a lot of turmoil.

When Du Ruhui heard the words, he immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this minister understands."

"I still have something to report to Your Majesty."

"Recently, the list of officials recommended by local police officers has been sent to the Ministry of Personnel."

"Fang Shangshu is now in the four northern states, so the scientific expedition to recommend officials in these places has not been decided yet."

"I also ask Your Majesty to select chief examiners to conduct scientific examinations on these recommended officials."

Du Ruhui bowed again and said.

Exam?

Zhou Chen pondered.

Zhou Chen knew that Da Zhou's official selection system was based on a scrutiny and recommendation system.

Once a year, at the end of the year.

The officials of various localities shall scrutinize and recommend talented and famous people to report to the Ministry of Officials.

Then, the imperial court will conduct a final scientific examination on these recommenders.

This is also the main reason why almost 80% of Da Zhou's officials are from wealthy families or are inextricably linked with wealthy families.

Ordinary underprivileged children or ordinary students, without the recommendation of local officials, want to enter the officialdom, it is very difficult.

Even if there are real talents and real learning, they must be recommended by local officials.

Otherwise, let alone entering the officialdom, entering the official career, that is, not even eligible to participate in the final scientific examination.

On the other hand, children of wealthy families can easily be recommended by local officials.

Once there is a recommendation from local officials, the final scientific expedition is basically a formality.

It can be said that in Da Zhou, as long as you get the recommendation of the police, you have basically entered the official career.

Zhou Chen frowned slightly as he thought of the imperial court's recommendation system for selecting officials.

In Zhou Chen's view, the selection of officials like Da Zhou has too many drawbacks.

Let's not talk about how many of these people are really talented and learned in various places, just say that this inspection and recommendation will make the court miss a lot of people who are really talented and learned.

And the last scientific expedition was originally the last check on those who were recommended by the local officials.

But now it's only a form.

This is the problem.

After Zhou Chen pondered for a moment, he looked up at Du Ruhui and said, "Ke Ming, the system of officials recommended by Da Zhou Cha is too flawed."

"Now, the court is in urgent need of talents."

"I plan to lift the threshold of probation and recommendation for this scientific expedition, and all talented and learned people in the world can participate, regardless of their background, just look at real talents and real learning, and you will be the examiner, and you will be solely responsible for this matter."

"how do you feel?"

Zhou Chen looked at Du Ruhui.

Since this recommendation system has too many drawbacks, Zhou Chen can't use this recommendation system to select officials for the court.

But if you want to completely abolish the recommendation system, you can't do it all at once~www.wuxiahere.com~ This will involve the interests of the world's wealthy families.

Therefore, Zhou Chen's scientific examination this time will first let go of this threshold, test the reaction of the wealthy family, and see what the result is.

"My minister, obey the order." Du Ruhui immediately understood what Zhou Chen meant, and bowed directly.

Although Zhou Chen seems to be asking, he has already made a decision.

Seeing that Du Ruhui had no objection, Zhou Chen nodded; "Then I'll leave this matter to you."

"I will decree that the Eight Sages and the Minister of War will be the deputy examiners."

"It will be a lot easier for you to have the two of them assist you."

Zhou Chen looked at Du Ruhui and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Du Ruhui responded and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
