Chapter 1: A death letter made Zhu Yuanzhang angry!
"Official assessment and self-evaluation,"
"I report to Your Majesty that I participated in the first scientific examination of the Ming Dynasty in the third year of Hongwu. As a juren, I served as the magistrate of Yanmen County."
"I have been an official for three years, and have accumulated millions of dollars to build luxury houses, and have entered the business road!"
“…”
"I realize that my sins are serious, so I wrote a letter to surrender myself with the opportunity of the end of the assessment, only asking you to surrender and behead you."
"If Your Majesty feels that you are not worthy of Your Majesty's handwriting of the imperial edict, it's OK."
"I am honored to be killed by Your Majesty!"
"This is what I say, I bow my head and bow again!"
"Identification: Ye Qing, the magistrate of Yanmen County!"
In the sixth year of Hongwu, March.
Yingtian Mansion, in the imperial study room of the imperial palace.
On the dragon table, there are several stacks of memorials half a person high.
These memorials are exactly the same in terms of cover color, width, width, thickness and thickness.
Even the text on the cover is exactly the same.
The cover reads: [Self-evaluation of the assessment of officials in the Ming Dynasty].
good,
These are memorials supervised by the Ministry of Personnel and are specially used for official assessment and self-evaluation.
The assessment system of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two types: inspection and examination.
An inspection is to inspect all officials, not limited to the specific term of office of any official.
The exam is for an official to conduct an inspection during the three, six and nine years of his tenure.
Three years of exams are called the first exam, six years of exams are called the second exam, and nine years of exams are called the general exam.
The assessment level is determined to be competent, ordinary and incompetent!
Assessment is competent, verbally praise and promotion!
The assessment is normal, and being scolded is over!
Assessment is incompetent, go home to farm!
Of course, this has to be without committing crimes and using power for personal gain.
If you make 180 taels of silver, you will have to collect the body.
The memorials that appear here are all self-evaluated by local officials who have received full examination.
Officials’ self-evaluation is one of the assessment methods for “full exam”, but the proportion is very low!
Logically speaking, officials who can appear in the dragon case must be qualified for self-evaluation and must be qualified for the fourth rank or above.
But this is the first time since the examination system was promulgated, and Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to have attached great importance to it.
His attention to the full test this time was no less than the first scientific test in Hongwu in three years!
No reason,
This founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was inspiring to "expel the barbarians, restore China, establish a guide to Chen Ji, and save the people", knew that his Ming Dynasty was completely built on a ruin.
He wants to rejuvenate this ruin and return to China!
To do this, it is not enough for him to be alone, and he has to rely on officials across the country with a black hat on his head.
Therefore, the administrative level of officials is very important.
Under the dragon candlestick in the imperial study room,
Zhu Yuanzhang, wearing a dragon robe, was sitting there looking through the self-evaluation of these officials.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was less than forty-five years old in Hongwu, was still a burly and energetic middle-aged man.
But no matter how energetic he is, he will inevitably look tired when he read hundreds of memorials.
But there was a self-review memorial that made him feel refreshed all of a sudden.
It's like getting chicken blood!
The more he looks, the more he becomes more energetic, and the more he sees, the more red bloodshot he sees.
finally,
He roughly closed the memorial signed as "Ye Qing, the magistrate of Yanmen County," and threw it out of the gate of the imperial study room with all his might.
"I'm so angry!"
"I have lived for so much of my life. I have seen someone seeking death, but I have never seen someone who put his head under our knife."
"Is this surrendering?"
"This is clearly about using your neck to test whether our knife is fast enough!"
“…”
The eunuch who was waiting outside the door was also scared by Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden anger.
He didn't dare to rush in without a summon, but just bent down slowly to pick up the whisk.
Even this action dared not make any noise.
Just as the eunuch of the Constant Eunuch picked up the whisk, he subconsciously looked at the memorial scattered on the ground and swayed in the wind.
He also wanted to see which official was who had such a skill that was so versatile?
Writing a self-review can also make the Emperor write about the thunderous anger?
In theory, the officials' self-evaluation is nothing more than exaggerated and conservative!
Exaggerated people are all satisfied with their political achievements and boast about them with gorgeous words.
Conservatives just look at it without hype or belittle them, but in fact, they praise their own character between the lines.
But no matter whether it is exaggeration or conservative, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot be so angry!
Who is Zhu Yuanzhang?
He is the emperor of the country at the beginning!
He has survived the storm and waves!
He has been to the mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
He can do it in a court with intrigue!
He is indeed impulsive and irritable and bloodthirsty, but people who are not capable can't let him exert such a thunderous anger!
Thinking of this, the eunuch of the Changshou became even more interested in this memorial that swayed in the wind at the door.
But he dared not
Satisfied with curiosity or not being alive!
"Come!"
"Mao Xiang, the commander of the Xuan Qin Army's Chief Commander!"
Listening to the dragon roar that made people's eardrums bulge across a wall, the eunuch of Changshou dared not go in to receive the order, and responded at the door and called someone to go.
soon,
A general wearing personal army's golden armor and sharp eyes walked into the imperial study.
"You go to Yanmen County in person."
"I will be sentenced to death by Yanmen County Magistrate Ye Qing, and Lingchi will be executed and we will be shattered!"
"We must scrape it to pieces!"
"What do you think?"
"Why don't you go?"
The eunuch who was waiting outside the door was so scared that she tightened her whole body.
It’s really like every word I say, I will slap the table once!
"I will receive the order!"
After Mao Xiang bowed, he hurried out of the door.
But he also paused a little while passing by this memorial that was still swaying with the wind.
Obviously,
He also wanted to see what kind of ability Ye Qing had, and could write a self-reporter and write himself as the ending of Lingchi's execution?
But he didn't dare to do it either, so he could pack his luggage and set off to do business.
Chapter completed!
