Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 128 128 Reborn parents are not so easy to be

The reason why Cheng Tujie, the censor, would carefully explore Hu Weiyong's words.

Or it was because he wanted to be the matchmaker for the marriage Wang Buli mentioned, and the two parties were too inappropriate for each other.

Even if she is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, it is not something that a commoner family can afford to support.

That's why Tu Jie confirmed it again and again.

For carnivores, politics plays a huge role in marriage. In order to strengthen their own rule, they actively interfere in the marriage and family life of their children.

Emperors usually consider regulating the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world as the three trilogy to consolidate their rule.

Based on the patriarchal family, a feudal hierarchy is implemented in which the family is responsible for the country, the country is responsible for the emperor, and one layer is responsible for the other.

Confirming the authority of parents to rule over their wives and children is precisely to consolidate the absolute authority of the king.

The big sect leads the small sect, the small sect leads the group of brothers, the head of the family leads the whole family, and the princes lead the whole country. They jointly serve the supreme emperor, thus forming a solid rule of the family and the world like stars holding the moon.

Strictly defining the boundaries between concubines and concubines, and implementing the system of heir inheritance and hereditary succession of titles, the purpose is to consolidate the established ruling status and order, and maintain the imperial line of "one line for all generations."

In order to maintain their ruling authority, they took filial piety as the premise and basis of loyalty to the emperor, and regarded "the father as the guide for the son" and "the husband as the guide for the wife" as the guarantee of "the emperor as the guide for the minister."

Confirming the different status and obedience relationships between men and women within the family is consistent with the feudal hierarchy of society, such as noble and poor, good and bad.

These are all to consolidate the imperial throne at the top of the pagoda.

Emperors throughout the ages have done this.

Since the Han Dynasty, there have been certain restrictions on the scope of marriage, the number of marriages, and the age of marriage. Certain standards have been set for marriage etiquette, the amount of betrothal gifts, wedding services, and passenger vehicles.

After the Tang Dynasty, there were countless edicts and edicts issued in the name of the emperor with marriage as its content.

Zhu Yuanzhang is now the strongest meat eater in the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Weiyong is also a carnivore in this system. He naturally uses the resources at hand to interfere in the marriages of people inside and outside his surrounding circle.

The most important thing is that the ruling class clearly understands that marriage and family are the basis of society and the source of exploitation.

The marriage between the two parties is based more on the common interests and is by no means a personal wish.

The marriage between Qi and Lu and between Qin and Jin were all acts of political collusion. They used marriage as a political means for two families to cooperate with each other to expand each other's power.

The high and the low do not marry, the good and the low do not marry, and the well-matched family all serve the strict hierarchical feudal system.

But Hu Weiyong didn't care about this. Anyway, it wasn't because he was marrying his daughter from a bad family.

He clearly knows that everyone is docile to the family, and the family is docile to the country. By taming the family instead of docile the individual, this is his most comfortable way of ruling.

"Hu Xiang."

Wu Wei stood up immediately after seeing Hu Weiyong and the others entering the door. He was quite flattering to Hu Weiyong.

If he doesn't seize the opportunity to hold on to this thigh now, how many more opportunities will he waste in the future?

Unlike when Wang Buli walked in and glanced at Hu Weiyong, he was the result of the Yi tribe. With a glance, Tu Jie's whole family was killed.

He wouldn't rush to curry favor with these two people. He came to the Prime Minister's Mansion now because he couldn't escape.

Hu Weiyong did not take the lead in launching an offensive against Wang Buli, but instead spoke to Wu Wei who got up:

"You have done well in recent times, whether it is criminal justice, taxation, education and other civil affairs, you have done well."

"Subordinate officials don't dare to take credit, it's all within their own scope."

Wu Wei was very excited because he knew that what Hu Xiang said next was the key thing he needed to hear, and it was related to his own future.

“Then you have two choices.

One is to work as a supervisory censor. There are four ways, from deputy envoy, minister, counselor to chief envoy. When the time comes, he can be transferred back to the capital to hold the position of minister or minister.

The only choice left is to become a minister, go to Taipu Temple in the future, or take the path of becoming a minister and participating in politics. "

If Ming officials want to be promoted.

The first official generally has the experience of serving in both the central and local governments. Having served as a central government official, he knows the overall situation. Local officials are closest to the people and can easily understand the people's sentiments.

At the same time, both the central and local governments use it internally and externally to prevent officials from forming cliques for personal gain.

Since ancient times, there has been a tradition that officials in the capital must obey orders.

The second official must have an administrative and supervisory calendar.

After becoming an administrative officer, he moved to the position of censor. For example, Tuiguan, County Magistrate, and Zhongshusheren were promoted to Kedao officials, and they were promoted to Chief Secretary and Councilor based on censorship.

During the Hongwu period, great emphasis was placed on the internal and external balance of officials, in order to prevent them from forming cliques and pursuing excessive selfish interests.

In Wang Buli's opinion, the cake that Prime Minister Hu Weiyong drew for Wu Wei was very big.

Even if he is a sixth-rank official, he will not be able to enter the Sixth Ministry as a minister within three to five years, let alone a minister.

The number of people who wanted to be ministers before him could not be counted on both hands.

Moreover, Lao Zhu would not give Hu Weiyong that long time to develop his own party members wantonly.

All of the Hu Weiyong partisans here have only been alive for a few years!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang established six ministries in the first year of Hongwu, the six ministries had little power and mostly relied on the wishes of the prime minister.

Wu Wei believed that Hu Weiyong could promote him, but it was just a matter of time.

It was Hu Weiyong's words to mobilize the officials down to the next level, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not mentioned at all.

It was not until the thirteenth year of Hongwu, when Hu Weiyong was executed and Zhu Yuanzhang deposed the prime minister, that the six departments were promoted from the original third-rank yamen to the second-rank yamen, becoming the highest-ranking official office.

There is no need for the Prime Minister's office to serve as a bridge between them, as the emperor directly controls them.

But now Wu Wei wants to be transferred, just because of Hu Weiyong's words.

"Prime Minister Hu, but my term has not expired."

Regarding Wu Wei's concerns, Hu Weiyong smiled contemptuously.

Promotion and reassignment of civil servants are generally carried out after performance evaluation after the officials have completed their term of office.

If a state agency is short of staff and the officials being promoted have not completed their term of office and have not yet been evaluated for performance, they must be recommended before being appointed, which is a promotion.

There are two forms of promotion, ting promotion and department promotion.

The objects of promotion are important positions above the third rank and below.

The recommendation is presided over by the Minister of Civil Affairs and decided by the Prime Minister.

Because it was recommended by the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it was also called "hui recommendation".

Recommendation by the Ministry is the recommendation by the authorized staff, targeting internal and external official positions below the fourth rank.

There are generally more lists recommended by the imperial court and the Ministry of Finance than there are actual shortages, especially if the prime minister below the fourth rank decides.

"Although you say you want to go to the local government, you will continue to stay in the capital and serve the emperor."

Tu Jie naturally took over the conversation, which also showed Wang Buli how powerful Hu Weiyong was.

A sixth-grade official can arrange it properly, let alone a clerk like you.

"Xiang Hu, I still want to be an official in the capital and listen to the emperor's teachings all the time."

Wu Wei didn't want to wear shackles and go to other places to serve as an official, because Zhu Yuanzhang was really capable of doing this.

He didn't dare to bet. Although there was great competition in the capital, there were many opportunities!

Wu Wei didn't want to leave easily. Maybe Wang Buli could help him in his official career. But when he went to another place, the sky was high and the road was far away, so this friendship faded away!

"Good good."

Hu Weiyong nodded and saw Wu Wei kneeling on the ground excitedly to salute him.

Hu Weiyong was tired of seeing such a scene of bowing and bowing, but he still said, we are all doing errands for His Majesty, you have to thank His Majesty, not me.

Wu Wei was so moved that he shed two tears. He knew that after leaving the capital, if he wanted to go further in the future, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

There are so many people fawning over Hu Weiyong, when will it be your turn to queue up again?

If you appear in front of your eyes from time to time, you will have more opportunities for promotion.

But at this time, I thanked His Majesty, but His Majesty could not hear it.

You have to behave well in front of Mr. Hu!

Wang Buli looked at Wu Wei's appearance and thought that he was dead, there was no way to save him!

Wu Wei was under inspection and supervision during his daily work. Could it be that he became careless when he came to the Prime Minister's house?

After dealing with Wu Wei's future, Hu Weiyong turned his attention to the final highlight, which was today's main target Wang Buli.

The promotion of Wu Wei was just incidental. He was considered to have benefited from Wang Buli.

"Buli, with your talent, you may be undermining your talents by continuing to serve as a minor official."

Wang Buli doesn't feel that he is inferior to his talents.

It's good to be a minor official.

Safety!

In the Ming Dynasty, civil servants were an important part of the state organization, and their number far exceeded that of officials.

In each yamen, officials are in charge of administration and officials are in charge of affairs. Many times, officials seemed to be empty-handed, and it was all the officials who were doing the work. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be so dissatisfied with these officials.

Everyone wants to be an official and enjoy the blessings as much as they can, but they won't give us a good job.

This year, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered officials to pass the nine-year exam, which lasted for three years, divided into three stages: first exam, second exam and third exam.

The so-called completion of the examination means that officials must take a professional skills examination after every three years of service.

Those who fail will be dismissed, while those who pass will be transferred to the next level and continue to serve.

After nine years of service, he was qualified to be born and selected for the title.

Beijing officials moved within the capital; foreign officials mainly moved outside.

According to Wang Buli, a sixth-grade yamen official in Beijing, after nine years, he can be appointed as a fifth-grade yamen official and a junior official (equivalent to the status of a scribe under Wang Buli's torture chamber).

"And you have caught the prince's eye again. Your future will be limitless."

Hu Weiyong added: "Buli, you also know that our Ming Dynasty used officials as officials, which is actually the old system of the Yuan Dynasty.

Although the superiors are wary, the officials are still as successful as everyone else.

Zhang Du, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Xu Hui, the Ministry of Revenue, Li Youzhi of the Ministry of Justice, Teng Demao and Xu Xi of the Ministry of War, Li Zhi and Wanqi of the Ministry of Industry, Li Xin and Wang Chun, the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Guanglu Si, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhang Guanglu Si Nai Heng, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Guanglu Temple Wei Neng, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, Liu Min, Wang Zhao, and the left minister of Shaanxi Province, Ping Sizhong, were all promoted by minor officials.

There are also Kuang Zhong, the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, Xiong Shangchu of Quanzhou, and Jia Xin of Xi'an, who are also officials and all have political voices. "

Hu Weiyong picked up a large group of people at random, and then pointed to Tu Jie beside him:

"He is also an official, hahaha."

It can be said that in the early Hongwu Dynasty, many officials were from civil servants.

"Hahaha." Tu Jie also laughed in harmony.

Wang Buli was also confused by Hu Weiyong.

He really didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang hated officials and imposed many restrictions on them, but most of the officials in the six departments under his command were officials.

It’s really an example of being honest!

"Bu Li's official career is much easier than mine. There are so many seniors who have passed through it."

Wu Wei was in a good mood and started to praise Wang Buli a little.

Wang Buli listened to the three men taking turns in battle, his face showing secret joy, but he didn't know how to answer the question.

Seeing this expression, Tu Jie knew he was safe and began to say: "Wang Buli."

"The Prime Minister wants to transfer you to the fifth-grade yamen. In the future, your background will be at the lowest level, ninth-grade."

Tujie gave Wang Buli his status first.

The imperial court stipulated that those who came from sixth-grade to ninth-grade yamen, miscellaneous officials, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all miscellaneous officials.

Is a miscellaneous job compared with an official background?

"Hey, Bu Li is so efficient at doing things, how can he go to the fifth-grade yamen? He naturally wants to come to the first-grade yamen to be a pawn clerk, so that he can have a better background in the future."

Hu Weiyong immediately refuted Tu Jie's words, and a sweet date was fed to Wang Buli's mouth.

What kind of fifth-grade yamen does such a simple matter require the prime minister like him to take action?

So Hu Weiyong was executing his own strategy, hitting the target in one step, and using the future to knock Wang Buli out.

The Yipin Yamen at this time was the Zhongshu Province where Hu Weiyong was located.

In this yamen, the highest rank among the officials is the seventh grade.

But it is comparable to the same background as the second-class Jinshi.

The officials of the second-grade yamen are from the eighth-grade official, which is equivalent to being from the third-grade Jinshi.

Because in the Hongwu Dynasty, the difference between the status of an official serving in the first and second grade yamen and the status of a Jinshi was not very big.

It is not easy for officials to become officials. That must be because the Ming Dynasty developed into the Jingtai period. The imperial examination became more and more prosperous, and more and more officials became officials after the expiration of their term. Then there was the contradiction between too many people and too few, which directly led to the problem of officials in the Ming Dynasty. The collapse of the transfer system.

In this way, it is better than Wang Buli staying in the Sixth Grade Yamen.

But Wang Buli didn't think so. The two started drawing cakes in harmony. Even if Lao Zhu was drawing cakes here, Wang Buli would not necessarily eat them, let alone the cakes drawn by two people who wanted to join the gang and kill the whole family.

"Hu Xiang, I am a student of Ming Dynasty Law. I have a question for you."

"No need to say more words of gratitude." Hu Weiyong quickly interrupted Wang Buli: "We have one more good thing to tell you."

"Yes, yes." Tu Jie took over the conversation: "Hu Xiang heard that your engagement was annulled. It was simply because the family was unlucky, so he specially found a good marriage for you.

When the beloved daughter of Pingliang Hou Fei Ju's family reaches marriageable age, there will be no shortage of dowry.

Although she is the concubine of the Marquis, marrying you is also a compliment to you. This is something Hu Xiangcai spent a lot of effort to convince the Marquis of Pingliang! "

After Tu Jie finished speaking, he waited for the scene where Wang Buli and Wu Wei were equally grateful and bowed down.

Your status as a minor official is equivalent to that of a Jinshi, your marriage relationship is still from the Marquis family background, and you don't even have to worry about money.

In this way, you Wang Buli will officially enter the circle of Huaixi Party members!

If Prime Minister Hu speaks out, will the Pingliang Houfu pay less?

Wu Wei was very envious of this arrangement.

Counting throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, how many petty officials could win the favor of Prime Minister Hu and have such an opportunity.

With such an arrangement, Wang Buli's future is really much better than what Wu Wei can see with the naked eye.

If these mothers are not reborn parents, what are they?

The three people present felt stable.

Hu Weiyong was thinking about how to help Wang Bu start the plow.

And what you say is best not to be the same as what inspired Wu Wei.

Only in this way can he show that he values ​​him more and make Wang Buli work for him wholeheartedly!

But surprisingly, Wang Buli was silent!

Just now, in order to prevent him, a junior official, from not understanding the rules of the officialdom, he specifically asked Wu Wei to demonstrate on the spot what to do if he was cheated on.

"Buli, you have to thank the Prime Minister. What are you doing standing there in a daze?"

"Yes, yes, I lost my composure for a moment. I didn't expect the Prime Minister to love me so much. How could I be so virtuous and capable?"

After listening to Wang Buli's words, Hu Weiyong was very satisfied.

At first glance, our words hit this young man dizzy!

It took him a long time before his brain could react.

"But I can't accept Mr. Hu's kindness!"

The scene was silent again.

Wu Wei looked shocked and quickly winked at Wang Buli, "You have offended the prime minister and don't want to pursue an official career?"

Tu Jie also looked puzzled. For others, this arrangement was like a reborn parent!

Wang Buli's parents couldn't arrange it, so why did he reject the Prime Minister's kindness when he came here?

What Hu Weiyong wanted was not this answer, but that after becoming prime minister, no one dared to refuse his arrangement.

Even the emperor had clearly arranged what memorials he could and could not read, let alone a minor official?

However, after many years of having children in the officialdom, Hu Weiyong was no longer happy or angry. He just asked lightly:

"Buli, this is already the best arrangement that I can give you. If you want to go further, it will violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty. I will definitely not do it."

Hu Weiyong kept pushing, he knew Wang Buli was a smart man.

Smart people shouldn't push their noses and faces, otherwise no matter how smart they are, they will lie on the ground and never get over!

"Hu Xiang, the marriage has been arranged at home. It's hard to refuse. I'm afraid Hu Xiang will have to worry about it."

"What's so difficult about this? If your engagement is annulled, you can naturally annul someone else's engagement. Just tell that family and I'll help you!"

Tu Jie thought it was something, but it turned out to be this!

The corners of Hu Weiyong's mouth slowly raised. This was really not difficult.

Wang Buli took out the wooden sign from his waist and put it on the table.

Tu Jie picked it up casually and took a look.

The four characters "Prince Consort and Captain" were thrust into his eyes, causing Tu Jie's eyes to hurt from the irritation!

He was speechless for a long time.

Hu Weiyong just looked at Wang Buli's place of origin and appearance description written on the back of the wooden sign.

"Hu Xiang!"

Tu Jie struggled to utter two words, then weakly handed the wooden sign to Hu Weiyong.

The rank of Wang Buli, a junior official, has instantly surpassed that of Tu Jie. After so many years, he has finally climbed up to the fourth rank of Yushi Zhongcheng step by step, and he has almost no chance of surpassing Wang Buli in his life!

We are both civil servants, so why are there such big differences between us?

Just now, Tu Jie encouraged Wang Buli as a veteran, but he didn't know that he didn't need to work hard step by step and then form cliques to climb up the ladder for selfish reasons.

It’s just one step up!

The more Tu Jie just babbled, the more he felt like a fool.

This had to remind him of that proverb, he didn't want to talk anymore!

Hu Weiyong took a closer look and was too shocked to speak.

The emperor actually wants to recruit Wang Buli as his son-in-law!

　I just found out that Jingzhi County is in the sixth grade, and I have to change everything I could.
