The Legend Zhuohua

Chapter 57

Shen Jinghong threw the sound loudly, like thunder on the ground, which made all the civil and military officials startled, and then they were filled with raging anger and fear.

"Your Majesty! Master Shen is wrong!" the Minister of Rites said loudly, "The system of favor and kindness is the kindness of the wise monarchs of Dachen. This system is to reward the meritorious people and let them repay the kindness of the country and fulfill their duties loyally. The second is to unite the clan and share weal and woe, so that everyone can work as one. The Enyin System has been in use for hundreds of years, how can we stop eating because of one Zhuang Wenfeng?"

Shen Jinghong said slowly: "Master Cai's words, can't he be kind to his descendants, and those who serve as officials will be unloyal to the emperor and patriotic? Is it true that the clan is alienated from morality?"

The Minister of Rites said angrily: "Master Shen, this is sophistry! I definitely have no such intention!"

Shen Jinghong smiled faintly, but ignored him. Instead, he said loudly to everyone: "The Enyin system has its advantages and disadvantages. Now the disadvantages have emerged. All officials above the seventh rank can enter the Imperial Academy to study without passing the examination." You can be an official. Taizu Taizong established this good government. He originally thought that most officials of the seventh rank and above would be from families who were well-read in poetry and books, and their sons should also be people who know books and understand principles. However, they did not expect that nowadays most of them are dandies who enter the court as officials. , dandy begets dandy again, and over time, such a group of moths erodes the foundation and pillars of the imperial court from bottom to top!"

Liu Chen frowned and seemed to be thinking about the truth behind Shen Jinghong's words. The Minister of Civil Affairs gave Shen Jinghong a cold look and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen is certainly patriotic, but after all, he is young and thinks too much." Not careful. How can a national policy be easily abolished? The official's performance evaluation was neglected, and the fault lies with the official. As a minister, I am willing to accept the punishment, but if your majesty angers all officials because of this matter, wouldn't the others be innocent. And he is favored. There are not a few people who have become officials. If it is abolished, where will these officials go? How will the missing manpower be supplemented? Without the chief, how will local government affairs be handled? Please consider it carefully, Your Majesty."

Shen Jinghong said: "Your Majesty abolished the Enyin System not because of Zhuang Wenfeng alone. In this performance appraisal, a rough look showed that there were more than a hundred Enyin officers with poor performance, and there were many more who had not been carefully investigated. It can be seen that It is time to eliminate the shortcomings of Enyin Officials. At the time of assessment, those whose virtues are not worthy of their duties should be deposed or demoted. They should not be lenient, otherwise they will be ashamed of the people of the world. The missing manpower will naturally There will be people who can take the position, including Jinshi who are waiting to fill the vacancy, and loyal ministers and talented people who have been filled by the Enyin official."

When Shen Jinghong said this, he turned his attention to Mu Zhuohua.

According to the previous agreement between the two, Mu Zhuohua should come out at this time and take out a memorial to list the extra expenses incurred for Enyin System over the years. But when this happened, Mu Zhuohua looked unhappy and frowned slightly. After receiving Shen Jinghong's signal, she glanced at Zhou Cishan, the Minister of Household Affairs, who was standing in front, and her heart skipped a beat. She had already written the memorial to be used in court this morning as early as yesterday, but for some reason she couldn't find it today. Mu Zhuohua was always cautious and would never miss such an important thing. She suspected that it had been stolen. The most suspicious person is naturally Zhou Cishan. She had read a lot of information in the past two days, and Zhou Cishan might have noticed it.
