Chapter 298 Reminder written by Lu Gong(1/2)
Just when Bianjing City was sensationalized by the serialization of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Cai Jing approved the "Bianjing New News" and published an announcement from Kaifeng Prefecture.
The content of the announcement is very simple.
The officials in the Senglu Department were unworthy, and the government was ordered to refresh the official administration. Therefore, the entire Bianjing and the entire Kaifeng Prefecture were recruited to recruit Senglu Department officials. Once selected, the monthly salary plus monthly salary would not be less than Liu Guan.
Suddenly, the entire Bianjing city was in a commotion.
It should be noted that this is not only the first government announcement published in tabloids in history.
At the same time, this is also the first time in history that the government has openly recruited officials from the public!
Two firsts, breaking countless past rules.
It also shook the foundation of the subordinate family.
However, the families of subordinate officials in Bianjing City had not had time to think of how to stop it.
The voice from Shilin forced these people to cease their activities.
Students from Taixue and scholars preparing for exams in Bianjing.
Sing a song of praise for this!
This is nothing, the key is to link up with the scholar-bureaucrats.
Both the officials waiting in Beijing and the officials working in Beijing also greatly appreciated this behavior of Kaifeng Mansion!
With the cooperation of each other, the families of subordinate officials did not dare to have the slightest thought of resistance.
The reaction of scholars and officials is naturally easy to understand.
This is not the first day that the civil servants of the Song Dynasty hated their subordinate officials.
Rather, it is a blood feud that has been engraved for hundreds of years!
That sentence: All subordinate officials say they can be killed!
It's not just the selectors who are talking about it, the officials in the capital and the court are also talking about it.
Even in the capital... there is a big boss who has been harmed by his subordinates and wants to vent his anger!
These forces were mixed together, coupled with the power of Bianjing Xinbao.
Soon, from the folk to the court, there were hymns.
Therefore, Cai Jing's announcement not only did not cause him any trouble, but also won unanimous praise from all the scholars.
Both the new party and the old party say: Cai Yuan-chang can be a great talent for the country!
…………
Sima Guang slowly prepared tea soup for himself, and the officials in his court gradually became familiar with the new ruler's temper.
Even though I am older, my health is not in good shape.
But no matter what he does, he doesn't like to have people do it for him.
This may be due to his experience in Chenzhou, or it may be a habit he has developed all along.
In short, this world-famous ruler is serious and rigid, and he is the most difficult minister to serve in the capital.
But at the same time, he is also the best minister to serve!
Why?
Because as long as you do things according to his wishes, everyone will discover a new world!
The officials in the capital are either the best ones who have been killed by thousands of local troops, or the old fritters who have been in Bianjing city for several generations.
Why don't you understand these principles?
Therefore, although Sima Guang had just taken office, his temper was already clearly revealed by those around him quietly.
As a result, Sima Guang soon discovered that he was surrounded by good people.
The tea soup is boiled quickly, and the milky white soup exudes the fragrance of tea leaves, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.
Use the jade spoon to skim off the foam, and then ladle the white tea soup into the tea cup.
Sima Guang sat down, holding the teacup, and was about to drink tea.
At this time, an official came to him with a post and said, "Sheng Zuo, this is a post from Youkui!"
Sima Guang nodded, took the post, opened it, and saw that it was a public post written by Lu Gong inviting him to the right hall of the capital hall to discuss matters.
In the Yuanfeng era, the prime minister must have a decree to convene administrative affairs.
But now that the officials have ascended to the throne and the two palaces have taken charge of politics, they have slowly relaxed restrictions in this regard.
Last month, the two palaces issued an edict to clarify the rules under which the prime minister can convene ministers, including those in charge and the six ministries and departments, to discuss matters.
This is naturally to allow the Dutang Prime Minister to better assist the two palaces in handling trivial matters.
After all, unlike the late emperor, the two palaces wanted to have a hand in all the affairs of the country.
Today's official family is still young, although they can already handle many things on their own.
But he still has to learn and grow physically.
Therefore, he would only get involved in major matters, or matters involving the late emperor's policies and laws.
At other times, His Majesty just reads and rests.
Give the public notice to an official and order it to be included in the official documents of the court.
Sima Guang put the futou on his head, then walked out of his royal hall and came to the right hall where Mr. Lu was.
"Junshi is here..." Lu Gongzhu saw Sima Guang walking in and quickly stood up to greet him.
For Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu still respected him very much.
Invite him to sit down in the guest seat, and ask the people below to serve him tea.
Lu Gongzhu then said: "I don't know the truth about you, but have you heard that Kaifeng Mansion, according to the imperial edict, wants to recruit officials through assessment?"
Sima Guang nodded. He naturally knew about this matter. Not only did he know about it, he also publicly praised it.
The subordinates deserve to die!
This is the lesson he learned through blood and tears in Chenzhou!
Especially after he returned to Beijing, there were rumors that he was troubled by several subordinate officials in Chenzhou, and finally had to kill people to establish his authority.
The blow to his reputation was really huge!
Before going to Chenzhou, he, Sima Guang, was the "capable minister who saved the world" that attracted worldwide attention.
Countless people craned their necks, expecting him to join the court to assist the emperor and bring peace to the world.
After returning from Chenzhou, even those who admired and admired him the most began to have doubts about whether he could assist the emperor and handle the affairs of the country well.
That is to say, he still has the popularity he has cultivated over decades, and he also has the reputation brought by Zizhi Tongjian, which supports his reputation.
"I have discussed with the Prime Minister Zuo..." Lu Gongzhu said softly: "I plan to send people to Kaifeng Mansion to observe the recruitment of officials..."
"If it is indeed feasible, both Prime Minister Zuo and You are interested in selecting a department in the capital hall next spring and follow this method!"
"I don't know what your true intentions are?"
Naturally, Sima Guang had no objections and said directly: "This is a very good idea! If it is determined to be feasible in the future, we should gradually make the capital hall and the six departments have subordinate officials, and they will all be recruited through examination and recruitment!"
Mr. Lu nodded and sent a piece of paper to Sima Guang: "In that case, please sign and pledge this provincial paper!"
Sima Guang took the letter, read the words on it, and confirmed that it was indeed a petition to the two palaces, allowing the capital to send people to observe and record the recruitment of officials in Kaifeng Palace. He picked up the pen and found the place where the signatures were signed.
Then Sima Guang discovered that before him, not only Han Jiang, but also Lu Gongzhu had signed the pledge.
Zhang Dun and Zhang Hong have also signed for custody, and even Li Qingchen and An Tao of Xifu have also signed for custody.
He was silent for a moment, knowing that this might be the order of the Dutang Prime Minister now.
He is the last one!
Moreover, this must be a hint from the two palaces to the two prime ministers.
Thinking of this, Sima Guang had already signed his name on the provincial letter: Minister Chen Guang.
Then Zha Zi was sent back to Lu Gong's residence.
Lu Gongzhu took the note and looked at Sima Guang's signature. After confirming that it was correct, he solemnly put it away.
Then, he looked at Sima Guang and asked: "I heard that Jun Shi has been in the capital hall recently and has been ordering people to collect documents from the Ministry of Punishment..."
Sima Guang nodded.
Lu Gongzhu sighed: "Jun Shi still refuses to forget?"
Sima Guang looked at Lu Gongzhu silently, and his answer was silence.
Lu Gongzhu shook his head, feeling helpless and admiring Sima Guang.
Because he asked himself, if he and Sima Guang were in the same place, he would never be able to do this.
To be continued...
