Chapter 682 Fire Pit (4000 words)(1/2)
"Trash, we are all a bunch of trash, what are we? We are officials!
So this is what you did?
waste!
What's the point of asking you!
ah!
You say it!
What's the use of asking you!
I dare not offend this and I dare not offend that.
A benefit was received here, a benefit was received there.
You are pushing the blame, I really want to kill you all with one knife!"
Bai Yehuang had just walked into the Ministry of Personnel today when he heard the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was yelling curses. While he was cursing, Bai Yezhu also heard the sound of throwing things.
"you."
Bai Yehuang walked in and released his spiritual pressure a little.
Feeling Bai Yechun's spiritual pressure, the Minister of Libu immediately shut up.
"your Highness."
Li Shangshu immediately turned into a dog-legged person, looked at Bai Yechun with a smile, and bowed.
Seeing how Li Shangshu changed so quickly, his appearance was completely different from one second to the next. All these changes gave them some understanding of why he could climb to the position of Minister of Libu.
"Why is Mr. Li so angry?"
Bai Yehuang glanced at these people.
Bai Yehuang has met these people, and they are all from the Department of Official Affairs.
"It's so early in the morning that I dirty your ears, Princess. Actually, it's not a big deal."
Master Li smiled and said, it seemed that he was just quarreling and did not want to tell Bai Yexu about this matter.
Because Li Shangshu received an order not to allow Bai Yezhu to participate in anything, and kept her idle until she became panicked.
However, Li Shangshu actually still has a little bit of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
That is why Li Shangshu thinks that if this matter is really handed over to Bai Yechun'er, it will be solved very well, and there will be no need to worry about such a difficult problem.
Therefore, Li Shangshu showed a slight hesitation and hesitation.
Li Shangshu's hesitation and hesitation were sensitively captured by Bai Yezhu.
"It's wrong for Li Shangshu to say that."
Bai Yexiao smiled, thinking there might be something interesting.
"Now that Xiaguan has joined the Ministry of Personnel, he is now a member of the Ministry of Personnel, and the matters of the Ministry of Personnel are the matters of Xiaguan.
Furthermore, as a Yuanwailang, isn’t it normal to share the worries of Lord Shangshu?”
"this"
Li Shangshu hesitated again and again, turning his eyes and looking a bit cunning.
"If that's the case, then I'll have the guts to talk to His Highness."
Li Shangshu spoke reluctantly.
What is interesting is that Bai Yehuang calls himself a subordinate to Li Shangshu, which is normal, because as a Yuanwailang, Bai Yehuang was originally Li Shangshu's subordinate.
But the problem is that Li Shangshu claimed to be a lower official to Bai Yexu, which seemed very disrespectful.
But no one corrected me, and I thought it was normal.
"Actually, this matter also depends on the hereditary title assessment that takes place every ten years."
As he spoke, Li Shangshu's face showed a trace of sadness.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess also knows that the hereditary title assessment held every ten years is not an easy thing to do.
But no matter how difficult the job is, as officials of the imperial court, we must do our best to do our job well and share the worries of the Holy One.
But I didn't expect it.
These guys”
Li Shangshu kept pointing his fingers at the officials of the seal inspection department who were kneeling in front of them.
"In this assessment of hereditary titles, a total of one duke, three marquis, and six earl will be abolished.
But none of these guys dare to offend anyone!
I don’t know how much money they charged those gentlemen! This matter has been going on for nearly a month, but there has been no progress at all.
These guys refuse to come up with a list!
When I asked them specifically, they were vague!
Damn it!"
As he spoke, Li Shangshu became so angry that he kicked them again.
One person per person, one foot per person, very equal.
When Li Shangshu mentioned this, Bai Yechu basically understood it.
The title verification department is mainly responsible for managing officials' titles, rewards, pensions, and the hereditary inheritance of local officials.
It is easy to understand the seals and rewards. The pension refers to the amount of pension money and sacrificial money given by the court after the death of an official, how the deceased is buried, whether and what kind of stone tablet can be erected.
An official's honor after death is closely related to his rank during his lifetime and the situation at that time.
Looking at it this way, the Seal Inspection Department seems to be a relatively leisurely department.
In reality this is not the case.
The seal inspection department is actually a very difficult department to run in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
This difficulty is especially reflected in the aspect of "hereditary".
In the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, the titles are also divided into five titles: Duke, Marquis and Uncle. Excluding the last two titles, the total number of these three titles in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is fully 300.
But in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, one can be knighted every year.
To be ennobled is to have a fiefdom
But the fiefdom of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom is limited.
Not only that, if there are too many titles, they will be worthless.
If a title is no longer valuable, it means nothing.
Therefore, every ten years, the imperial court of Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom will clear out some titles.
It's okay to say that viscounts and barons are just minor officials anyway. Through continuous hereditary inheritance, their influence is getting smaller and smaller. If they want to be abolished, they can be abolished. It is basically not difficult to abolish them.
But the problem lies in the three titles of Duke, Marquis and Uncle.
These three titles are of considerable power.
But you can't just abolish others casually.
Otherwise, if someone mobilizes their forces a little bit, your life should be saved, but the problem is that your official position may not be saved.
Therefore, every ten years when this important event comes, the seal inspection department will be cleaned.
Those nobles were deposed. It's impossible for your seal inspection department to have no fault at all, right?
If this is the case, you need to find a scapegoat, and one of these scapegoats is definitely not enough, at least three are needed.
In other words, among the ten people in the Examination Department, three people will definitely be fired, which is equivalent to being "buried with" those nobles.
But who wants to throw away their bright future?
So the seal inspection department started to kick the ball.
As soon as the ball was kicked, Li Shangshu became very unhappy.
In fact, Li Shangshu also knew that they would not find the scapegoat until the last day.
The list will not be given either.
Therefore, Li Shangshu would keep exerting pressure every time at this time.
Anyway, someone must be sacrificed. Besides, it's not death. You can still get a large sum of money and "retire and return to your hometown."
But the problem is that these lords this time are not easy to mess with.
Compared with the previous lords, in this decade, all the lords have become very powerful, and there are no families that have lost their support.
If it is abolished, it may not be a simple resignation, and it is very likely that even one's life will not be saved.
So this time the seal inspection department united and refused to work!
To be continued...
