Being an official in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be a good job, and the welfare benefits are not bad at all compared to later generations. As long as you are an official, you can enjoy one day off every ten days, which is called "Xun leave". In addition, there are
Various seasonal leaves (such as seven days of Spring Festival leave), provincial holidays (visiting parents once every three years, a total of thirty-five days), wedding leave (nine days), bereavement leave (the length depends on the relationship with the deceased), sick leave (the longest
If it does not last for a hundred days, it will be dismissed after a hundred days). Officials who are in poor health or are over seventy years old can retire and are called official officials. The retirement of officials above the fifth rank is approved by the emperor, and the retirement of officials below the sixth rank is approved by the Shangshu Province. Officials above the fifth rank
Retirement enjoys half salary, and meritorious ministers can receive full salary due to the emperor's special favor. If they continue to use their hands and feet to take advantage of loopholes in the regulations when they are in office, when they are old, they will definitely be working for the rich, and they will live a lot.
Moisturized.
Look at how much fun it is to be an official like this, isn't it? But Li Zhen doesn't see it that way. For Li Zhen, being an official is a hard job. If you don't pay attention, it will be a miserable situation. Every time you think about this, Li Zhen
I am always upset. Without him, there must be an ambush waiting on the other side of the prince, which is disturbing enough. Even if everything is safe and sound, going to the morning court is still a heavy burden, isn't it? Every morning on the day of the morning court
, you can afford it at the third watch, and you have to rush to the court room in the palace at the fifth watch. If you accidentally miss the time, the fine is still a small matter, I am afraid that the old man will be thinking about it, and throwing it out at the right time is a serious crime, then
How much fun will it have to wait? No, today is the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month. On a very cold day, Li Zhen got up early in the morning. Fortunately, she was used to getting up early to practice martial arts in the past.
Nothing serious went wrong, I ate some porridge casually and hurriedly got into the big sedan chair, and hurried all the way to the court room. Only then did I realize that I was the only one in the court room, and he was the only one in the room. Suddenly
He laughed out of humiliation, but he never thought that just as he was laughing, someone walked in at the door, and it was Zhu Suiliang, the Minister of Personnel.
"Your Highness, is there nothing wrong with you?" When Zhu Suiliang saw the weird smile on Li Zhen's face, he thought he was laughing at himself. He quickly looked down at his court uniform, but he didn't find anything wrong with the other party, and he suddenly became a little embarrassed.
asked with a smile.
Hey, misunderstood, right? As soon as Li Zhen saw Zhu Suiliang's behavior, he knew that this brother had misunderstood, but he didn't bother to explain, he just smiled and said: "It's okay, I am just enjoying myself, my lords."
Don’t take it to heart.”
"Oh, that's it. Your Highness, the King of Yue, is a new official. He is young and successful. It's the spring breeze. You can forgive me, haha..." Zhu Suiliang is a funny person. When he saw that the matter had nothing to do with him, he immediately turned around and started teasing him.
Li Zhen is here.
Li Zhen knew Zhu Suiliang's personality very well, and knew that this guy seemed to get along with everyone, but in fact he was a smiling person. Of course, he was really good at writing regular script. He was the only remaining calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty after Yu Shinan, and he was deeply admired by the old man.
As far as Li Zhen knows, this old gentleman will soon enter the cabinet and assume the high position of Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of the Ministry of Secretariat. Naturally, he does not want to get into trouble with this person, so he looks at the other person teasing him,
Li Zhen didn't respond, she just acquiesced and laughed.
"Eighth brother, what is so funny? Why don't you tell third brother about it?" Just as Li Zhen and Zhu Suiliang were laughing happily, King Wu Li Ke came in from outside and asked with a smile on his face.
"No, it's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." At this critical period, Li Zhen really didn't want to have anything to do with Li Ke, so naturally she didn't want to say anything more, so she agreed casually and planned to leave.
"What? Can't you tell your brother to listen?" Li Ke didn't intend to let Li Zhen leave just like that, and asked relentlessly.
***Lao San, why are you bothering me when you have nothing to do? Li Zhen was very impatient, but at this moment, the important officials of the imperial court were filing in. Li Zhen really didn’t want to conflict with Li Kesheng in front of others, so she was thinking about it.
When he was about to get rid of it, he saw King Li Tai of Wei hurriedly walking in. He walked up to Li Zhen in a few strides and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry you came so early. My brother is looking for you for something."
"
Ha, there's something wrong! Li Zhen naturally understood that Li Tai didn't want to get too close to Li Ke and deliberately made jokes, but she didn't want to point it out. Instead, she said matter-of-factly: "Fourth brother, if you have something to do, just tell me.
Little brother, listen."
"Okay, come on, let's go and talk." As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, he pulled Li Zhen and walked to the corner. The two brothers were chatting casually as they walked.
Li Ke looked at the intimacy between Li Zhen and Li Tai, and his handsome face suddenly became a little crooked, but he had nothing to do with these two brothers, so he had to laugh at himself, walked to his confidant, and said
He didn't speak, but glanced at the two brothers in the corner from time to time, with a look of suspicion on his face. Just when he was planning to desperately go to Li Zhen's end to find out what was going on, the morning drum in the palace started ringing.
, the sound of the eunuchs shouting to go to court could be heard far into the court room, and the courtiers all over the room hurriedly rushed out of the court room. Seeing the two brothers Li Zhen walking over, Li Ke smiled embarrassedly.
, without saying anything more, he hurriedly lined up in front of Li Tai, and all the courtiers rushed straight to the magnificent Tai Chi Hall.
Excited, Li Zhen was really excited. Although he had been to Tai Chi Hall in recent years, this was the first time he came here as a courtier. Li Zhen, who was lined up in the queue of military commanders, took advantage of Li Shimin's arrival.
When he arrived, relying on his height, he looked around for a long time. However, speaking of it, he didn't know what he was looking at. He just took this opportunity to relieve the tension in his heart.
"The Emperor has arrived!" As the high-pitched voice of Chamberlain Gao Yao rang out, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, dressed in the Ming Emperor's costume, strode out of the harem, walked straight to the dragon throne with a solemn expression, and raised his eyebrows
He took off his robe and sat down. The prince Li Chengqian who followed him also dragged his lame leg and walked to the prince's seat in front of him and sat down. Seeing this, all the courtiers immediately knelt down on the ground and shouted three times: "Long live the prince."
more than.
"I love you all my life." Li Shimin raised his hand and motioned for everyone in the palace to return to their original positions. He smiled and said: "Today is the New Year, and the New Year should have a new atmosphere. What do you, my dear friends, want to do in this chapter?
Now, just start from the original version."
Ha, we have been waiting for you to say this! As soon as Li Zhen heard the old man calling everyone to come to the book, he immediately jumped out of the queue of military officers, knelt down in front of the palace, raised the memorial in his hand high above his head, and said loudly:
"To report to my father, I have sent this chapter to you: The Sage of Soldiers has a saying: Soldiers are important events for the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and they are collated for planning.
Its sentiments: One is Tao, the other is Heaven, the third is Earth, the fourth is generals, and the fifth is law. I have noticed it since I led the army to go on an expedition - Although our army in the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and our generals are brave, however, the successors are weak.
Weakness is not due to lack of strength, but it cannot be heard. I believe that there should be a good strategy for selecting talented people in order to protect the long-lasting foundation of the Tang Dynasty. My fourth brother also thinks so. Therefore, I sincerely request my father to open a martial arts examination.
The scientific research will be used to select the generals of the Tang Dynasty. I hope that my father will understand clearly."
As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, Wei King Li Tai immediately stood up and echoed loudly: "Father, the emperor has clearly learned that I believe that what the eighth brother said is actually the way to seek for the country. I sincerely ask the father to consider this matter carefully, so as to benefit the world."
Talented people have more than one path of origin."
Li Shimin didn't expect that the one who would come forward would be Li Zhen, nor did he expect that Li Zhen would actually pull Li Tai over. He didn't react for a while, and was silent for a moment before waving his hand and saying: "Pass it over."
Gao Yao, who was waiting by Li Shimin's side, hurriedly ran down the front corridor, took the memorial from Li Zhen's hand, turned around and ran back without touching his feet, and handed the memorial to Li Shimin.
Li Zhen's memorial was written in a very orderly manner. It not only listed the necessity of military examinations, but also stated the relevant selection methods one by one. Various selection rules and regulations were all available, including how to award officials and what should be awarded.
The officials also made it clear and clear. Not to mention the outstanding literary talent, the regular script was pleasing to the eye and made Li Shimin very happy. However, this matter was important and Li Shimin did not dare to make a decision easily. He pondered for a long time and took a look at it.
He looked at his two sons who were kneeling below and said calmly: "Everyone has your opinion on the martial arts. I'd like to hear your opinions."
The imperial examinations at this time are not as magical as those of later generations. Even if you are a Jinshi, you may not be able to get ahead in the court. Apart from other things, there have been more than 40 Jinshi in the past sixteen years, which is quite a lot.
There was no one who was qualified to go to the palace to discuss matters. All the important officials in the dynasty were the same people who conquered the world in the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, after the heroes, those officials who came from the Jinshi, Mingjing and other imperial examinations could only be in the lower head.
They could either serve as subordinates or serve as local officials. Therefore, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not care at all whether they took the imperial examination or not. Furthermore, this was proposed by two popular princes, unless they really planned to fight with these two princes.
Don't show any signs, otherwise who would dare to step forward and say "no", but it is impossible for the big guys to step forward and say yes. Without him, the holy will is not clear at the moment, and no one knows whether Li Shimin will agree or not.
At this point, if the flattery goes to the horse's feet, wouldn't it be unfair? The hall fell silent for a while, and no one said a word.
Li Ke glanced at Li Zhen and Li Tai who were kneeling in front, and his heart moved. He roughly guessed that the two brothers must have colluded with each other for a long time. Although he wanted to come out to object, the problem was that he simply couldn't
How could someone with little knowledge of military affairs find out the flaw in this case in a short period of time? Just when he was anxious, he suddenly saw the prince winking fiercely at Hou Junji who was standing in front of the generals. His uneasy heart was immediately calmed down.
He smiled at the prince and nodded.
The prince glanced at Li Ke and nodded without comment. Only the two of them knew the meaning... dd
