"Needless to say, although the prince is stupid and the King of Qi is wise and powerful, I think the emperor is not willing to pass the throne to his younger brother instead of his son? Besides, although the prince of Qi has the support of some veterans, the prince

There are two major families here, the Queen Yang family and the Crown Princess Jia family, who are obviously stronger."

"Yes, you are right. King Qi is destined not to inherit the throne. At that time, King Qi and his party will be implicated. So everyone in Jiazhou should be more cautious."

"Me? I have never had anything to do with Prince Qi."

"Although you are not a member of the King of Qi, there is no guarantee that the person you recommend is not. Let me ask you, the small Zhongzheng of the county is recommended by you all the states. The Ji Zhongzheng of Ruyin must also be recommended by you, right?

?”

Speaking of this, Jia Gong suddenly remembered that Ji Si was once an old subordinate of King Qi and a real member of King Qi's party.

Although Ji Si was a member of King Qi's party, that was not the reason to capture him. We had to start from other aspects. So Shi Hui followed his lead and said: "Ji Zhongzheng talks about his identity, talents and learning. What skills do he have to be the Zhongzheng in this county?"

What qualifications do you have to evaluate officials in the county? Is there any malpractice or unfairness when evaluating officials? Have you, as the Grand Central Justice, carefully examined the above?"

Favoritism? Unfair? Of course it is unfair. As a newcomer to the officialdom, his son was rated as a third-grade man without any achievements, while Shu Yan, who was from his hometown and had excellent political integrity and talent, was rated as a fifth-grade son. This is the biggest

It's unfair. That's not all, Ji Si

He is also very attentive to himself. Over the years, he knows best in his heart that if he has made achievements, he will be upgraded; if he has misdeeds, he will keep the original quality, but if he is not demoted, what else can he be dissatisfied with?

He has given me a lot of benefits, and the ones given to Ji Si will definitely not be the same.

Master, the three of us just tacitly understood each other. He said that Ruyin officials did not give him face, and that Ji Si was not qualified to be the Zhongzheng... Jia Gong pondered over and over the meaning of Shi Hui's words in his mind, and seemed to understand:

Ah! Could it be that he wanted to replace Ji Si?

Do you want to be the Zhongzheng of Ruyin? He keeps saying that he is the largest family in Ruyin. The implication is that he should be the Zhongzheng of Ruyin. Moreover, under the banner of Guanli, he also gave me an additional 200 acres of fertile land.

, if it doesn’t mean this, what else could it mean?

Thinking of this, Jia Gongqian laughed and said: "If you think about it carefully, as the capital of the state, I do have a suspicion of neglecting Ji Zhongzheng. Thanks to Shi Hou for reminding me, I will investigate him thoroughly after I return. If it is true,

If the evaluation is unfair, I will report it to Situ, remove Ji Si from the post of Ruyin Zhongzheng, and select another qualified person to do it."

"Dazhongzheng is really wise. It is a blessing for us Yuzhou officials to have Jiazhou here."

"Marquis Shi is overly rewarded. As the capital of the state, it is my duty to supervise the little Zhongzheng below."

Having said this, Shi Hui pulled Jia Gong's hand away and put the two hundred acres of land deeds into his palm. Of course, Jia Gong no longer refused. Just now, he was not getting rewarded because of no merit, but now Shi Hui is asking for it.

Of course you can accept it openly.

After the two of them finished speaking, they went back. They thought they were unaware of the ghost, but Shu Yan heard everything. Shu Yan didn't want to be an eavesdropper, but since he had already heard the beginning, if he went out rashly, it would be even more disturbing.

The two of them were embarrassed. He thought: Ji Si's position as Zhongzheng may not be guaranteed, and Shi Hui's position in the court

Compared with Ji Si's connections, Jia Gong will of course keep giving favors. If Jia Gong wants to find out Ji Si's stains, he must check them accurately. Which of the 173 counties in the Jin Dynasty is clean?

?The world is as dark as crows, and it doesn’t matter who is the right person. It’s just a fight between the noble families, and it has nothing to do with the nobles from poor families.

A few days later, Shu Yan saw the memorial written by Jia Gong, the great Zhongzheng of Yuzhou, and impeached Ji Si, the small Zhongzheng of Ruyin, for engaging in malpractice for personal gain, making random comments on adverbials, and making unfair criticisms. He recommended Shi Hui, the minister of Sanqi, to succeed Ruyin Zhongzheng. Situ

Everyone in the government and official department has connections with Shi Hui

In addition to Jia Gong's memorial, Shi Hui became Ruyin's new Zhongzheng without any doubt. When the officials in Ruyin heard that Shi Hui had become Ruyin's new Zhongzheng, they all regretted it.

, I hate myself for being short-sighted and regret not worshiping the true immortal.

What Shi Hui cares about is not how much salary he can get by being a Zhongzheng, but that being Zhongzheng will greatly increase his status in the village. On the day of his appointment, Shi Hui, Shi Biyu and his son took a car home respectively. Shi Hui was

He had a title, so he rode in a two-horse chariot; Shi Biyu

They were riding in the secretary-lang's standard equipment - a deer cart, which is a relatively narrow car that can only accommodate one deer, hence the name deer cart. The father and son happily got off the car in front of the house.

, went in with help, met Mrs. Wang, and told the whole story, and the whole family was naturally happy.

Shi Biyu said: "Ah, now all the officials in Ruyin are yours to judge. They all have to follow your lead. Let's see if they dare not take us seriously!"

Shi Hui closed her eyes and said with a smile, "What do you think of this position of justice?"

"Of course. If you like it, give it a good review. If you don't like it, give it a bad review. I think it's more interesting than being an ordinary court official."

"Since you know that you are doing the right thing, then you must make some achievements in terms of moral character and ability. Is this position of Ruyin Zhongzheng not yours in the future?"

"How can that be done? This position of righteousness in your world belongs to you, father. How can I compete with you?"

"Huh huh." Shi Hui sneered, "Silly boy, do you think I just want to be a county justice?"

"What does father mean -?"

"Of course it's Yuzhou Dazhongzheng. Slowly, I'm going to make those two old thieves Jia Gongjisi step aside and give them to us, father and son. So, you have to establish some reputation as soon as possible. As the saying goes, 'You need to be tough to make iron.'

"

"That's even better. To be the great Zhengzheng of a state, think about how many officials there are in the ten counties of Yuzhou. With a swipe of a pen, you can criticize how you want. It will make your hands cramp when you criticize, which is worse than counting money.

Enjoyable."

Mrs. Wang laughed from the side and said: "Silly boy, when have you ever seen your father count money? If our family's tens of millions of wealth were all converted into five bahts, you, Aweng, could only count them all, and he would not be exhausted to death.

?”

The father and son both laughed as they talked, and said: "Do you think that as the grand general of a state, you have to criticize all the people in the entire state? How is that possible? The grand general of a state only reviews the most important people in the state.

Generally speaking, officials are judged by the ministers in each county, and the state is just a check."

"Why not? Look, Shu Yan and I are both juniors who are just starting out this year. Aren't they all controlled by Jia Dazhongzheng himself?"

"Of course you two are different. Shu Yan has real skills. His reputation is known even to the governor of Yuzhou. How can the state not take it seriously? As for you, it's just because you are my son. Otherwise, you will be upright in Ruyin."

If that was just checked out, would we still be here today?"

Shi Biyu lowered his head, and Shi Hui continued: "Shu Yan is now a minister. He is conscientious in his work, and his quick thinking has won the appreciation of Wei Guan, the minister. One day, I am afraid that the emperor will also

Pay attention to this person. Most of the children of today's wealthy families like to talk and are not pragmatic.

As for the profession, a highly experienced position like Shang Shulang was too tiring for the gentry children and they did not bother to do it. On the contrary, a leisurely position like Secretary Lang became the first choice for the Jia clan children to become officials. I am worried that in the long run, the government officials will have to hold on to the job.

In the hands of poor people, the gentry class will decline sooner or later."

"Father, you also know that although the position of Secretary Lang is more important than that of Secretary Lang, His Majesty is currently worried that the power of the Secretariat is too concentrated, and intends to enhance the status of the Central Secretariat and merge the Secretariat into the Central Secretariat. Therefore, the Secretary

Lang is not without merit."

"Well, tell me, you have been a secretary for a while. What important things does the emperor ask you to do every day?"

"The important things haven't happened yet. Now the emperor has divided the palace books into four parts: A, B, C and D. We, the secretary, are in charge of one of them respectively to check for errors."

"What books have you reviewed?"

"The Five Classics, The Analects of Confucius and the like are naturally the business of Confucian scholars. Some historical works have been reviewed many times by predecessors. We are just reviewing some miscellaneous books. Even if we want to

It’s also difficult to make a difference.”

"Of course it's not your turn to review the Five Classics. Of course you are reviewing miscellaneous books. There are so many classics for you to review, unless you find the lost Confucian classic."

“Are you talking about the Book of Music?”

"Yes, there were six Confucian classics in the pre-Qin period, namely "Poetry", "Book", "Li", "Yue", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn". However, the "Book of Music" was lost during the Qin Dynasty, so

It has been hundreds of years since it became the present "Five Classics", and the imperial court and officials all over the world regret it."

"Then what can be done? It's been so long and it's impossible for that classic to come back to light."

"Of course I know that. Although being a secretary is more leisurely, don't underestimate being in charge of books. This is something that many people dream of."

"Why?"

"It's because your Secretary's Pavilion has all the books in the world. Some people give up high official positions and pay and want to be secretaries, just to be able to read a lot of books. Do you know that apart from the Secretary's Pavilion, there is no other place in the world where you can read a lot of books."

There are so many books, so this is also a great opportunity for you, which will be of great benefit to your future promotion. If it were Shu Yan, that boy, I would be even happier than getting a golden mountain. He wouldn't even want to go back home.

Already."

"No matter how hard he works, he is just a member of the common people. How can he still succeed?"

"Don't always look down on the common people from poor families. The common people will eventually rise one day. Don't you know, even the Hu people in the northwest have joined us in the Jin Dynasty. People like Liu Yuan of the Xiongnu, Murong Xian of Xianbei, etc. are actively learning from the Central Plains

culture."

"No matter how much the Hu people learn the culture of the Central Plains, they are still alien in nature. As the saying goes, 'If they are not from my race, their hearts will be different.' Their attachment is only superficial. Father, you have also heard that some time ago, this Murong

Xin because of her relationship with Yuwen

He wanted to ask our emperor to send troops to avenge him, but the emperor did not agree, so he got angry and killed and looted on the border. There were many dead, so these people are like jackals, and they may bite you one day."

"You don't need to worry about this. The emperor has already sent people to conquer it. You should think about how to be your secretary."
