Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 44 Fairness and Justice
A heavy topic was opened, and then the three of them talked about the current official administration issues in the Ming Dynasty.

Yin Zhengmao and Gao Yi both felt sad about this. Gao Yi said: "The current administration of officials in the imperial court! It is really worrying! In our Hanlin Academy, the place where the country is the prime minister, the people here should be considered the cleanest, right? But right? As Xiandi Liangzhen said, no more than half of the people in the Imperial Academy have clean hands and feet."

"If this is the case with the Imperial Academy, let alone other court offices. I am afraid that only two or three out of ten people are clean. As for the magistrates, I am afraid that only one or two out of ten are clean! The current imperial court , there are far more corrupt officials than clean ones, how can I, the Ming Dynasty, survive if this continues?"

After saying these words, Gaoyi felt very worried about the future of the country.This made Wang Daoqiu very unconvinced, so he said: "Brother Zixiang, in fact, our Ming Dynasty's officialdom is already good. To judge from the perspective of others, most of our current officials cannot withstand the financial crisis. They are tempted by silver, and their hands and feet are a little dirty, but they still have a conscience in their hearts, and they still have a bottom line in front of gold and silver."

"At least for the sake of money, I will not disregard the court's laws and regulations to take care of people's lives, and I will not trade the future of scholars for money and favors. Brother Zixiang and Brother Shi Ting, can you imagine a court full of hooligans, The law of the king is like a whore in a brothel in Goulan, you have the right to play as you please if you have money. The selection of officials and the promotion of officials in the court all depend on how much money you pay and the rank of your father's official residence. Do you dare to imagine such a court?"

Having said this, Wang Daoqiu leaned in front of the car window in pain, looking at the roof of the car with dull eyes. The memories were too painful to look back on.

After hearing Wang Daoqiu's words, Yin Zhengmao and Gao Yi were not convinced.Yin Zhengmao retorted to Wang Daoqiu: "Brother, you are joking. There have been corrupt officials in all dynasties, but there have also been upright ministers and good officials who asked for orders for the people. How is it possible that the whole dynasty is full of rogues? This is impossible, impossible. of."

As soon as Yin Zhengmao finished speaking, Gao Yi followed up Yin Zhengmao's words and retorted to Wang Daoqiu: "Yes, dear brother Liangzhen, it is already very bad if more than half of the officials in a court have unclean hands and feet. How can the whole court be filled with hooligans?" Bastard? The laws and regulations of the court are even more so. If a court cannot even abide by the royal laws it has formulated, then does it still deserve to be called a court? Then the world should change its dynasty. "

"Extreme, extremist. Brother Liangzhen was joking. How could it be possible that the entire court is full of hooligans and rogues. As for the selection and promotion of officials based on money and the status of father's official residence, that is even more nonsense. If this is the case, then the emperor's country How many more years can it last? For the sake of the country, the emperor will not allow such a thing to happen. Once such a thing is discovered, it will be severely punished. "

"For example, in the last Jiachen Science Examination in the 23rd year of Jiajing, the chief examiner Zhang Chao died of illness just after he came to Gongyuan, and the deputy examiner Jiang Rubi temporarily presided over the examination. As a result, Jiang Rubi was greedy for profit. In order to please Zhai Luan, the chief assistant at the time, He actually colluded with the examiners Shen Kun, Peng Feng, Ouyang, Gao Jie and others to commit fraud and illegally admitted Zhai Ruxiao and Zhai Rujian, the two sons of Chief Assistant Zhai Luan."

"Afterwards, it was reported that the Zhai brothers passed the provincial examination together last year, and passed the general examination together this year. There was something strange about it, so the emperor immediately sent the Ministry to investigate. After investigation, the two brothers of the Zhai family took the provincial examination. In order to please the first assistant Zhai Luan, he recruited his second son in violation of regulations; during the examination, Jiang Rubi, the chief examiner, was temporarily acting as the chief examiner. The four people's exams are arranged together, and the four people copy each other together."

"The examiner Ouyang used to be the teacher of the Zhai brothers. He pretended to avoid suspicion and did not read the test papers in their room, but secretly helped to identify the handwriting and determine which two test papers belonged to the Zhai brothers. Among the examiners, Peng Feng admitted the Zhai brothers. Brothers and Cui Qixun, Shen Kun admitted Lu Wei, and Gao Jie admitted to Jiang No. 500 Middle School. In addition, Gao Jie also accepted a bribe of [-] taels of silver through the school captain Zhang Yue to admit Peng Qian."

"After the results of the investigation came out, the emperor was furious and demoted Zhai Luan and his two sons, Cui Qixun, Jiao Qing, Peng Feng, and Ouyang to civilian positions. Jiang Rubi, Qin Mingxia, and Pu Yingqi were not involved in bribery, and they were all dismissed from their posts. Gao Jie and Zhang Yue were found guilty of accepting bribes and were transferred to the army."

"Brother Liangzhen, the imperial examinations in the past dynasties have been very rigorous in selecting officials. Take our last general examination that I mentioned above as an example. Chief Assistant Zhai Luan neither gave or accepted bribes, nor did he greet the examiners. It was all because the examiners wanted to curry favor with him and made their own decisions. But what was the result? Just because the matter involved the two sons of the chief minister and the dignified chief minister did not commit any violation of law or discipline, he was jointly and severally liable and was dismissed from office. This is Anyone who dares to use wrong ideas to obtain official positions through the imperial examination is looking for death."

After talking about the rigor of the imperial examination, Yin Zhengmao looked arrogant. At this time, Gao Yi also held his head high, showing his absolute confidence in the fairness of the imperial selection.They are so happy!You can fight for your own life fairly without having to worry about the beauty from Yangzhou. She has three private education degrees and ranks last in the written examination. In the end, she can defeat thousands of troops and successfully enter the officialdom.

Thinking of this, Wang Daoqiu thought of that damn interview.In theory, this is correct.After all, if it’s just a written test, what if that person is just someone who can take the test?Adding an interview can better select outstanding talents.

Yes, the theory is correct, but for this theory to work well in reality, the prerequisite is that the interviewer must be impartial.But if the interviewer is selfish...!Therefore, the kind of selection with interviews mostly turns into a series of business affairs and a series of human relationships.

Lamenting the misfortune in his memories, he used to have no money and nothing to do, and his second life was like garbage. Wang Daoqiu looked at the roof of the car and felt that it would be better to live in the Ming Dynasty!

Just talking about a big topic, the carriage arrived at the door of the fat man's house in the inner palace alley.After paying the fare, Yin Zhengmao helped Wang Daoqiu carry the red treasure box to Wang Daoqiu's house, and they took Gao Yi to the main room.

At this time, in the main room, the fat man was asking the handsome guy Zhang Juzheng for advice.As soon as they saw Wang Daoqiu and Yin Zhengmao, they led a stranger in and they stood up politely.

As soon as he saw the fat man and Zhang Juzheng standing up, Yin Zhengmao pointed at Gao Yi with a smile and introduced: "Uncle Da Xiandi, Zhijian Xiandi, this is the one who stayed in the same inn when I took the examination. My best friend. His name is Gao Yi, Gao Zixiang. Zi Xiang is from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. He is four years younger than me, but he was the top two in the Imperial Examination in Jiajing 20 years ago. Now he is in the Hanlin Academy to be discussed!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Zhang Juzheng from Jiangling, Huguang. My courtesy name is Shuda and my name is Taiyue. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"I am Jiang Li and Jiang Zhijian from Huzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Province. We are all fellow Zhejiang fellows. You're welcome, you're welcome, please take a seat."

Hearing Yin Zhengmao introduce that Gao Yi was once the number one in the second class and is now a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Juzheng and Fatty were in awe. Without waiting for Yin Zhengmao's introduction, they rushed to introduce themselves.

After introducing each other and getting to know each other, the next thing will be easy to talk about.After all, young people like to make friends and accept strangers easily.
