Zhu Houzhao took off the phoenix crown on the head of the little queen, put it under her armpit, and then took the little queen's hand: "Let's go, see my mother! Wear it again when you go to Cining Palace!"

The little queen's hand was soft, which made Zhu Houzhao not dare to hold it hard, for fear of being broken.

The little queen nodded, smiled sweetly, and ran along with Zhu Houzhao, and her brocade-faced embroidered shoes poked half of her head out of her skirt from time to time.

At this time, Concubine Su and Concubine Liu were also waiting outside the Cining Palace. When they saw Zhu Houzhao and the little queen appear, they hurriedly bowed.

"No gift!"

Then Zhu Houzhao put the phoenix crown on the little queen, let go of the little queen's hand and entered the Cining Palace first, and brought three little girls, no, it should be said that Zhu Houzhao's three wives came to the Empress Dowager Zhang's place.

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled lovingly. After the etiquette he deserved was finished, she asked Zhu Houzhao and others to sit down, and only pulled the little queen to the front, gave her a jade bracelet, greeted her with concern, and completely forgot her own son Zhu Houzhao: "Did you have sex last night?"

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect Empress Dowager Zhang to ask this directly, thinking that she wouldn't treat these thirteen or fourteen-year-old concubines as girls without any scruples?

"Report to the Queen Mother, I'm having sex!"

The little queen didn't know what she meant and thought she had already been in the same room as the nanny said and slept with the emperor and was in the same room as she said. So she answered this.

Empress Dowager Zhang was even happier when she heard this and smiled and said, "It's time to change her words and call her mother!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't stand the atmosphere of talking about topics like this without any trouble, and hurriedly said: "Mother, I still have government affairs to be busy, so I'll leave first!"

After Zhu Houzhao said that, he walked out of the hall gate, but as soon as he raised his foot, he heard the little queen uttering a sigh of relief. He hurriedly looked back and saw that the little queen frowned awkwardly. At this time, the empress dowager had already asked with concern: "What's wrong? This is?"

"After returning to my mother, my butt hurts a little," the little queen replied with a embarrassed smile, then gritted her teeth and sat down slowly.

"Zhao'er is really. I'm afraid I've been going from behind more than once. Ruyi, how did you teach me!" Empress Dowager Zhang said at this time.

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, she couldn't help but laugh and came straight to the cabinet and the Sili Supervision Office.

...

As soon as he arrived at the cabinet and the Lili Supervision Office, the chief assistant Ma Wensheng, who was on duty, saw that Zhu Houzhao had arrived so early, hurriedly saw the Li and smiled sincerely: "Your Majesty is really hardworking than the late emperor. Now he is newlyweds, so it is understandable to have a rest for a while."

"The country of our ancestors is more important. Let's discuss matters. Is there something important today?" Zhu Houzhao said and sat in the center, leaning on the pillow, and only turned up the memorials that had been drafted. He continued to read them.

When Zhu Houzhao lifted his sleeve, Ma Wensheng noticed that Zhu Houzhao had an injury on his hand, and couldn't help but ask: "What's this injury to your Majesty?"

"It's okay, I did it for the queen," Zhu Houzhao said.

"Your Majesty, the queen is still young, but take it slowly. Although Your Majesty is the master, he is also a husband. You should also cherish the fragrance and jade." Ma Wensheng thought that Zhu Houzhao had hurt the queen and caused her hand to be caught by the queen's nails, so he persuaded her.

"Talk the serious business," Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to talk about it, so she said directly.

"According to the order, Wang Shu, the Minister of Personnel, has officially submitted a memorial, suggesting that the court implement the law of examination and start restarting the Beijing inspection in April this year. First, inspect the Beijing officials, and then make plans for local officials. I have voted to allow it!"

Ma Wensheng handed over Wang Shu’s memorial.

Zhu Houzhao said while looking at it: "Now the official selection exam has ended. After the imperial court has added a large number of Beijing officials, it is a good time to hold a Beijing inspection. It is also a good time to take advantage of this to implement a new examination method. The mediocre and incompetent people will be dismissed, and the wise and capable people will be simply eliminated. Accurate! The officials will approve the redemption! Then, the cabinet immediately issued the Ministry of Personnel and ordered the various departments and offices to start the Beijing inspection!"

Zhu Houzhao said this and threw the memorial to Gu Dayong, the eunuch of the Silijian, who immediately took it over and criticized Hong.

In this way, in the first year of Zhengde, the Ming Dynasty's administrative reform entered a deep water zone, opening the prelude to the implementation of the examination and the performance reward and punishment system will start to arouse new vitality and vitality for the Ming Dynasty's political arena that has gradually become corrupted into a pool of stagnant waters through this early Beijing inspection.

For officials who do practical things, this kind of reform is undoubtedly a good thing. It can increase a large amount of salary income through political achievements, or improve it through political achievements. It is no longer the kind of opportunity to improve by creating fame and relationships before, and there is no need to make money against your conscience for life.

Hong Ming, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, is such an official. He cannot create unjust cases for collecting money, but he also suffers from not having enough income to satisfy his family's life as a seven son and a wife and two concubines. At the same time, he has no money to bribe superiors and get promoted. Many people laughed at him as pedantic in the same year.

Now the performance reward and punishment of the court has been achieved to prevent Hong Ming from falling into the abyss of corruption. He found that since he could meet his needs for a good life by diligent political affairs and be promoted because of his good political achievements, he no longer cared about others' ridicule, but only accelerated the efficiency of the case review, so he hoped to get a good political performance assessment result during the inspection of Beijing.

Because the Ministry of Personnel was in charge of Wang Shu, and now several ministers in the court are indeed dedicated to promoting officials. In addition, after the performance system reform, the completion of officials' political achievements is clear at a glance and information is disclosed, so it is easy to compare who is better or worse. Therefore, Hong Ming was given a three-month monthly salary reward for the corresponding grade of the year because he was the first in the Ministry of Justice's assessment.

In other words, in the years before the next Beijing inspection, his monthly salary was four times that of now, that is, sixty-four stones, and all of them were real and had no color discounts, which exceeded the monthly salary of the previous second-rank official.

And the following year, he was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice.

"It's really the emperor's grace that is so great that the world is clear and clear!" Hong Ming sighed so emotion.

But there are also many officials who are very dissatisfied with this. Most people are lazy and hope that they can get more money without work or get more money. Therefore, most officials hope to do less and get a chance to get promoted and make money easily. Even if they can get a lot of rewards by doing political achievements, they are unwilling to do so. After all, even if they have high incomes, they will be very hard.

This new examination method requires officials to report their affairs every day, and when the promise is completed, there will be political achievements and rewards, and there will naturally be punishments if they fail to complete. This is a slander for most Beijing officials who only hope that they can receive a large amount of ice, charcoal and silver when writing poems.

Especially the Qingliu officials who are good at talking about things and not doing good at government affairs have always relied on fame to gain access to their own level and wealth. Now, the method of taking the exam only depends on practice but not on fame, which is simply a waste of their lives.
