Chapter 137 Check the deficiencies of those who resigned! Find it and catch it!

  Zhang Gui and Tianqi have already reached a consensus.

  The consensus is that in order to rejuvenate the hard-won Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to eliminate a large number of dignitaries and bureaucrats who enjoy their honor.

  This is also the reason why Zhang Gui dared to order the Jiading team directly to shoot at Yang Jingchen and other Qingliu civil officials.

   Moreover, Zhang Gui had already anticipated that his actions would cause dissatisfaction among many civil officials.

  The only way for these civil servants to express their dissatisfaction is to ask Tianqi to deal with his relative. If there is no conspiracy behind the scenes, on the surface, the only option is to resign after being disappointed.

Because Zhang Gui expected that many civil servants would resign, he asked Tianqi to see him in advance, and asked Tianqi to improve the examination method and official selection system, and took the opportunity to establish an audit system for resigned officials and a new official examination system.

  Because the original examination method only serves as an incumbent official, there is no system for officials to leave their posts after passing the examination.

  The original official selection system had no other examination system except the imperial examination.

  Many appointments of officials are often only decided hastily by the officials of the Department of Literature and Military Selection of the Ministry of Officials and the Department of Military Selection of the Ministry of War, or according to the amount of bribes paid by the candidates.

  But Ming Dynasty needs professional bureaucrats, especially the middle and lower classes, so it is necessary to select officials through more professional examinations.

Zhang Gui decided to take this opportunity to speak out and let Tianqi decree to reform the examination law and the official selection system. At the same time, it is also a lesson for those who decide to resign because they are dissatisfied with him. Getting rid of him before he leaves Beijing will save these corrupt officials from returning to their hometowns to harm the people. In addition, it will also prevent other officials in office from resigning hastily.

   "Opportunities for legal reform and system reform?"

  Han Yan 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, we will take this opportunity to form a monitoring team of officials who support the reform, and conduct inspections on outgoing officials to check whether they left 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 post in advance, and the deficit left behind shall be compensated within a time limit, or the home shall be recovered; the unfinished government affairs shall be completed within a time limit; those who leave the post without authorization before the imperial order is issued, depending on the severity of the consequences Dispose of it, if it seriously delays the military aircraft, it can be executed!"

  Han Yu was quite surprised when he heard this, and asked: "In other words, just take advantage of the opportunity of a large number of officials resigning this time to start such monitoring?"

"That's right! There is no rule without rules. Even if you resign, you have to be responsible to the court, to the community, and to the people of the world. You can't affect the entire government because of your resignation. As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want, This can also be regarded as a supplement to the examination method.”

   Zhang Gui added at this time.

And Chen Zizhuang continued to add: "Secondly, since there are a lot of resignations this time, it is natural to select a large number of new officials from the candidates in a short period of time. In this way, the Ministry of Officials has to add new candidates. .According to the past practice, the Ministry of Officials selects talented candidates as alternate officials from the whole country. The examination is called the official examination. First, it will be tried out in the central government offices."

"Each government office will summarize the number of officials that need to be supplemented and added to the Ministry of Officials one year in advance, and the Ministry of Officials will announce the alternate Beijing officials that the court needs to appoint to the whole country, and the Ministry of Officials will hold official examinations every year on a regular basis. The chief examiner will make temporary arrangements, and those who pass the exam can first observe politics in the government office as a Jinshi, and then arrange a real job after observing politics for one year."

Han Yu nodded after hearing this: "This will also prevent the Wenxuan Division of the Ministry of Officials and the Wuxuan Division of the Ministry of War from selling officials and ranks due to their excessive power, and lead to the corruption of the entire court's officials. At least those who want to rely on bribery to become officials will pay more bribes. Only a few officials can do it, and like the imperial examination, you have to know who is the main examiner before you can go out temporarily, which is really conducive to the cleanliness of officials."

  Speaking, Han Yu asked Wei Zhongxian: "What do you think, Eunuch Wei?"

  Wei Zhongxian said: "It's up to you guys to decide on the affairs of the foreign court, and you can draw up a plan and give our family approval."

  Han Yu knew that what Wei Zhongxian said meant he agreed, so he drew up an edict and handed it to Wei Zhongxian for approval to become an imperial edict.

  At the same time, the resignation of more than 600 civil servants was not immediately approved by votes.

   Zhang Gui, Han Yu and others first agreed on the officials of the inspection team responsible for the audit and investigation of leaving office. Among the officials were Xu Guangqi, Bi Ziyan, Wen Zhenmeng, Jiang Dejing, Qi Biaojia and other officials who supported the reform.

  The leaders are Xu Guangqi, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Bi Ziyan, the right servant of the Ministry of Households.

  However, they will all temporarily serve as supervisory censors, and investigate these officials who are about to resign as officials of wind constitution.

  Xu Guangqi and Bi Ziyan have good abilities in mathematics and money accounting.

   Therefore, it is still very 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 imperial court did not directly approve their resignation as before, but first promulgated the system of resignation supervision for officials who resigned from Shangshu.

  Boom!

  After knowing the decree, Liu Guangdou fell directly from his chair to the ground, his face turned extremely pale in an instant: "Actually, I don't really want to resign that much."

  Zhang Sunzhen took a look at Liu Guangdou, and hurried over to help him up: "Why do you say that! If they want to investigate, they will investigate. I don't believe that people like Xu Zixian and Bi Jinghui dare to frame him?!"

"But the problem is, I didn't expect these cruel officials who wanted to carry out reforms and that Zhang Guojiu would come up with such a vicious method! Leaving the supervisor, investigating deficits, and even investigating lazy administration, this is simply driving people to death. !"

   Liu Wandou spoke in pain.

   Zhang Sunzhen, who has just graduated as a Jinshi and doesn’t have to worry about losing money, doesn’t hate this system so much, he just said: “They have always been so mean, what can they do?”

  Boom!

   "Is Liu Wandou here during the official affairs?"

   At this time, when the curtain was slammed, a few Jin Yiwei and several civil servants walked in.

  The leader is Wen Zhenmeng.

  Wen Zhenmeng said: "We are the supervisory censor who left the supervisory team. Now we are ordered to arrest him. If there is any concealment, we will be punished with the same crime!"

   After hearing this, Liu Wandou hurriedly hid in the back room, and said to Zhang Sunzhen: "Just say that I am not here!"

"He's here!"

  Zhang Sunzhen shouted hurriedly.

   Liu Wandou looked at Zhang Sunzhen in disbelief.

Zhang Sunzhen had already stood outside the screen, cupped his hands to Wen Zhenmeng and others who had already walked over, and said, "Don't blame me on my job! Wansheng is only here to talk about Confucian classics with Liu Gejian, and he doesn't know what he has in shortfalls in office. "

   As he spoke, Zhang Sunzhen pointed to Liu Wandou: "He is the official officer who advised Liu Wandou."

Wen Zhenmeng nodded when he saw this, and said to Liu Wandou: "Because you resigned from office, we investigated your affairs during your tenure in the official department. You have three accounts with unknown origins, the largest of which is the official account. Purchasing, why do you record 30,000 taels in the account, but the actual official expenses are only 5,000 taels, what's the matter with the 20,000 taels? Although your accounts are weird, Bi Butang and Xu Butang still check Come out, go and explain to them."

  Wen Zhenmeng said to the Jinyiwei official school who was transferred to the supervision team: "Take him away."

  The royal guards lifted up Liu Wandou, who had lost his mind.

  Liu Wandou came back to his senses at this time and said: "Mr. Wen, I will not resign, I will not resign, can you stop investigating me! I will make up for the shortfall of 20,000 taels later!"
