Wang Shu is still alive?!

It's so great!

Not only Zhu Houzhao thought so, but also officials who were determined to reform the administration, such as Ma Wensheng, Jiao Fang, Xu Jin, and other officials who were determined to reform the administration were greatly surprised.

And Liu Jin! This eunuch who also wants to do something!

Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin, Ma Wensheng, Jiao Fang, Xu Jin and others looked at each other and smiled. For a moment, he felt that the new policy of reforming the administration discussed at that time had the confidence to implement it immediately!

Of course, there are also many officials who are unhappy and mutter to themselves.

"Now all the officials in the court will have a hard time. Wang Shu has always been famous for his strict inspections. He doesn't even talk about relationships or hometown feelings! He doesn't give face!"

"The prince is not dead, I want to die very much!"

"As soon as Wang Shu takes office, I should have to write a resignation memorial!"

...

Even the Zuodu Censor Dai Shan couldn't help but touch her nose: "The prince survives the disaster, but it's a blessing for the country. I just don't know if he is still smart in his ears or eyes?"

Zhu Houzhao ignored the dislike of some officials for Wang Shu. Without thinking about it, he ordered: "Guo Rong, go and help the prince into the palace!"

In fact.

Before, Zhu Houzhao was worried that Wang Shu was too old and could easily get into trouble, so he issued an edict at that time. After Wang Shu received the document, he could choose to be escorted to Beijing by Juesheng Guard, or he could choose to go to Beijing by himself. In short, there was no need to rush to travel, health was important.

Wang Shu might really want to visit the mountains and rivers by traveling to the city and visit the local officials. Perhaps he was a northerner who lived in his nineties and was naturally knowledgeable. He was afraid that he would have guessed that he would be in Beijing. Therefore, he played a trick to escape from his shell. He rode a donkey on a small road to Beijing first, and asked the escorts to transport coffins to Beijing on a large road. I am afraid that it was not for the purpose of preparing for him, and it was a irresistible intention.

In any case, Wang Shu has now entered Beijing.

Wang Shu, who came to Beijing, also heard about the monarchy case in the capital. However, at his age, he had seen many major events and was very calm. He did not cry because his servants were not spared, but his face remained calm.

But when Zhu Houzhao saw him enter the hall, she could also see that Wang Shu had a square face and thick eyebrows, with no humanity at all, was a cruel character.

However, Zhu Houzhao asked: "Wang Qing, can you still have fun?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I can still eat rice every day and three pounds of meat!"

Wang Shu replied.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "I heard that Wang Shu had an amazing appetite for a long time. Now it seems that it is not a false saying. I have eaten. If I have eaten, I will not give it to the banquet again. I will give it to you in the future and talk about the important matter first."

"I have used it. Thank you for your Majesty for giving the banquet. Please forgive me in the future. I can't eat the delicacies in the palace, and I am worried that I will be poor if I eat you!"

Wang Shu seemed to be very considerate of Zhu Houzhao and was unwilling to let Zhu Houzhao waste it because of himself, but he was also a little funny when he said it, which made Zhu Houzhao feel happy again.

The other officials laughed, and the whole court atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Zhu Houzhao originally thought that Wang Shu was a Wei Zheng-style figure, so serious that he had no humor at all. He himself might not have as good patience as Emperor Taizong of Tang, but now he saw that Wang Shu was not so old-fashioned, so he had more favors to Wang Shu and said:

"Then let's discuss the main matter first. You are just right here. Now you are talking about the large amount of vacancies for officials. As for why there is a lot of vacancies, you will know that after you retire from the court, you will buy a copy of the Huangming Pao. You are the Minister of Personnel, so you must naturally be missing. For the large amount of vacancies for officials, you must naturally be filled. If you add an official, you must select an official. I have an idea to select an official!

"Now, officials have a large number of vacancies. They can directly select the students who can be appointed as officials from the Imperial College and the juren. However, the way of selecting officials must be changed. They cannot be left to the Ministry of Education based on the amount of money and relationships that the relationship is in conflict. Previous assessments can be used as reference;

However, an examination must be conducted for officials who request reinstatement and scholars who apply for official positions. The trial will be conducted first from the central government. This examination is temporarily called the Central Civilian Official Selection Examination. The first year of Zhengde was the first, and it will be tested every year afterwards;

The missing official counties and official counties will be reported to the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel will organize the official selection examination. Candidates can choose which yamen to which position to take, but the examination must be divided into written examinations and interviews. The written examination is organized by the Ministry of Personnel. However, the papers issued according to the different departments and yamen will naturally not be exactly the same. The interview will be organized by officials of the Ministry of Personnel and officials of each department and yamen to conduct an interview with officials who refer to a certain yamen!”

Zhu Houzhao said and ordered again: "Now you understand, that is to say, selecting officials from the scholars is not a department of the Ministry of Personnel. You all departments and yamen must have dedicated personnel to take charge. Only in this way can the officials selected be truly suitable for a certain position and not ruin the major affairs of the court!"

What Zhu Houzhao said is actually almost equivalent to the civil service examination system in later generations.

Logically, as the emperor, Zhu Houzhao had the final say in the appointment and removal of officials, but if the officials below did not agree, they could naturally advise them.

However, at this time, the civil officials did not dare to rebel against Zhu Houzhao. Moreover, for them, it was actually to make the Ministry of Personnel's selection of officials become the method of selecting officials through examinations, which was equivalent to seizing the rights and interests of the Ministry of Personnel and increasing the rights and interests of other departments to participate in the selection of officials. Therefore, it is naturally not important to officials in other departments, so it depends on Wang Shu's opinion.

Of course, the one who has the most objection to this should be the Department of the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department, but the Department of Personnel's Wenxuan Department is too small and he is not qualified to speak out for the power he is about to lose. The only people who can win him for the officials and clerks of the officials.

But now, Jiao Fang, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Ao Dingyou, is at home, and the clerks of the official department are also killed. Therefore, we can only see whether Wang Shu, the Minister of Personnel, will fight for it.

Wang Shu, the Minister of Personnel, was not a person who was fighting for fame and fortune. When he heard Zhu Houzhao say this, he immediately expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty's method of selection is a good policy that benefits the country and the people! In the past, the Ministry of Personnel's selection of officials was inevitably omitted based on experience and practice. After all, it was not easy to observe how people knew whether they were competent or not. After all, it was too late to investigate after taking office, and this move could also avoid the personal disadvantages of the Ministry of Personnel's business!"

"Since that's the case, Wang Qing began to prepare for this matter after he retired from the court! Let's start the first civil servants of the Ming Dynasty to select officials, and then discuss the reform of the officials after the replenishment is completed!"

Zhu Houzhao said again, "There are other officials in the department who should report the missing amount to the Ministry of Personnel as soon as possible. At the same time, arrange the candidates and the papers for the examination. Do not keep it confidential. This examination should be as strict as the provincial examination!"

"I will obey the order!"

The officials present responded.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the sky. Although it was sunrise, he did not intend to withdraw from the court. He decided to drag the court: "I have another decree, the Ministry of Rites!"

As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, the Minister of Rites Zhang Sheng and the other two left and right ministers of the Ministry of Rites stood up: "I'm here!"

"I sent a message to the world that the meeting was held in the first year of Zhengde. In order to facilitate the journey of the students far away from the capital, the Enko this year was postponed to April to make up for the lack of officials to be elected. It is also my thirst for seeking talents. In addition, this time, the number of places in the Enko exam will be increased by 100!"
Chapter completed!
