Saint of the Confucian way

After dispersing the dynasty, Fang Yun returned to Zuo Xiangge with a sickly appearance.

The officials of Zuo Xiangge immediately came out to meet him, more enthusiastic than before.

Fang Yun didn't come to Zuo Xiangge these days. Although he also used a letter to deal with his affairs, there was something missing, so he asked people about Zuo Xiangge's affairs one after another.

There are basically two kinds of officials in Zuo Xiangge. One is strong in the background. Coming to Zuo Xiangge is equivalent to gilding.

As long as factional disputes are not involved, the experience of working in Zuo Xiangge will become one of the important factors for promotion.

The other is capable officials like Li Zhixiao or Xu Changgeng who are involved with Zuo Xiang. They do not have great power behind them, but they do not have a very deep relationship with Zuo Xiang. They need to maintain the operation of Zuo Xiang cabinet and avoid problems in the highest bureaucracy in the country.

Not surprisingly, in three or five years at most, these people will be assigned to those Qingshui yamen for the elderly, but Fang Yun's emergence saved them.

Those who are strong in the background are just in laws of the Empress Dowager and children of aristocratic families. Compared with ordinary four boundary scholars, they are nothing, let alone Fang Yun, a virtual saint. Therefore, they are more cautious than anyone, because once they offend Fang Yun, their fate will be worse than that of ordinary officials.

Ordinary officials lose their positions at most and can go anywhere in the world. However, once they are punished by Fang Yun, in order to avoid angering Fang Yun, their backstage will abandon them temporarily and let them lose their original excellent treatment. Maybe after many years, the backstage will compensate them, but it is of little use.

As for people like Li Zhixiao or Xu Changgeng who have no foundation, the other party is even more determined because they see the hope of joining the Fang party.

No matter what the future of the party, even like today's left party, they can only seize this life-saving straw.

Moreover, the interests of joining the party are too tempting.

Just a few days ago, there was a rumor in the whole Shengyuan mainland that more than 30% of the Xiangzhou officials and other friends participating in the Fangyun dinner had made a breakthrough in the near future, either in literary position, courage, calligraphy and painting.

Joining the Fang party has almost become the quickest way to heaven, even far better than joining a family.

There are honest people and honest Taoists who can work in Zuo Xiangge, but there can never be a fool.

Therefore, Fang Yun felt dull after understanding the affairs of Zuo Xiangge these days, which was completely different from the situation in Ning'an county and Xiangzhou. When they were County orders or governors, officials constantly jumped out to challenge their authority, and the officials of Zuo Xiangge did their duty one by one.

Fang Yun finally shook his head.

"Either timid or old-fashioned."

Fang Yun smiled, but he understood that he was more and more stable in Jingguo.

But that alone is not enough.

Throwing out cabinet centralism too early is bound to alert the royal family, but this is a royal law.

As the leader of all officials, the so-called strategy and conspiracy have fallen to the bottom. Only by using the Royal method can we solve the problem cleanly. Otherwise, if the conspiracy succeeds, it will be difficult to convince people, and there will be endless trouble.

Exposing the purpose in advance will offend people, but it can also win over like-minded people and even neutral forces.

For example, Wei Xu, the Secretary of the Ministry of rites, did not criticize Fang Yun when he was down, and did not boast when Fang Yun alone oppressed the Manchu Dynasty. It is commendable that such a person must play a great role as long as he is a little attracted and does not become a person of the royal family.

Next, Fang Yun began to cooperate with Zuo Xiangge officials to formulate a detailed evaluation and reform draft of the Ministry of officials, following the principle of seeking profits for the people as the core.

After the plan was drawn up, Fang Yun ordered people to copy many points, distribute them to the empress dowager, Youxiang Pavilion, Fuxiang Pavilion, Wenxiang Pavilion and the capital institutions headed by the six ministries, and then copy them to all cabinet counsellors. Please give comments and suggestions to all those who received the innovation plan, which will be included in the evaluation of the Ministry of officials.

In the history of the Terran, there has never been such an open and fair way in all generations, which greatly improves the perception of all officials.

Because in the expectation of officials, even if all parties have allowed Fang Yun to innovate, no matter what plan Fang Yun comes up with, it will inevitably lead to a war of words and blood at the Korean meeting. It is impossible to really implement it without fierce Korean dispute.

Fang Yun avoided this possibility and publicly solicited opinions and suggestions in a way that most respected all parties. After receiving the feedback, Zuo Xiangge will inevitably make changes on the basis of the suggestions of all parties, and then it will be discussed at the DPRK meeting.

At that time, except for a few places that may cause disputes, most of the contents have been acquiesced by all parties, and the possibility of adoption has greatly increased. Moreover, once implemented, the efficiency must be terrible.

It can even be said that as long as the fundamental interests of all parties are not touched, they don't care how Fang Yun innovates. They need more face and steps. Now, Fang Yun has given them face and steps. As long as they compromise with each other, there will be no obstacles to the innovation of the Ministry of officials.

After all, Fang Yun is the left prime minister and should have absolute control over the Ministry of officials.

At the beginning, Fang Yun proposed cabinet centralism and gradually decentralized power to the cabinet, cabinet counsellors and cabinet walking. Many officials did not believe it, because such a thing had not really happened in previous dynasties.

But now, many officials see the dawn.

Now Fang Yun is using the draft to seek the views of all parties, so the next step may be to vote by all parties.

In the imperial book room, the Empress Dowager and King Jun worked together. On the table in front of him was Fang Yun's trial draft of the evaluation and reform of the Ministry of officials. Opposite him sat Sheng Boyuan, the Minister of rites.

"Sheng Aiqing, what do you think of this... Well, just call it Fang Yun. How do you think of this draft?"

Sheng Boyuan sighed and said: "I dare not hide it. Fang Yun's talent will never come out. After reading this draft ten times, I have to admit that Fang Yun is indeed a good minister for governing the world. Apart from others, this accountability system is like a big hand holding an official's throat. Moreover, he completely gave up the responsibility of the Ministry of officials and handed it over to the supervision yuan. The Ministry of officials is only responsible for evaluating demotion, demotion, transfer and dismissal Set the number of years not to be promoted. If there is no accident, the supervisory yuan will gradually turn to the square. "

"Fang Yun strengthened the authority of the supervisory yuan. Does he want to take the opportunity to control the supervisory yuan and obtain the right to supervise hundreds of officials, even more than Liushan?" asked the Empress Dowager.

Sheng Boyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "there are two possibilities for this matter. One is that Fang Yun is paving the way for power. The other possibility is that Fang Yun is simply carrying out innovation, because, in a way, it is a good thing to hold officials accountable. Moreover, this innovation has existed since ancient times, but it is only made public and institutionalized, and there is no big change in essence."

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, and Sheng Boyuan was silent.

They knew that the accountability system itself was seizing monarchy.

Before this system, if the monarch was unhappy, he could demote the wrong officials, or even demote them again and again, as long as he found an excuse. If he was happy, he could find an excuse to get the officials back to their original posts soon.
