Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh: Thunder, rain and dew, all are your kindness
In the Wuying Hall, the elders started talking in low voices, twirling their beards with different expressions.
However, it is not as complicated as Xiao Tan's expression now.
Of course he also saw the emperor's intention, but he didn't know whether he should expect what the emperor would do next.
From Xiao Tan's own point of view, if the emperor really plans to take action against the Hanlin Academy and clear out these over-subscribed officials, no matter where they are packed, as long as they leave the Hanlin Academy, Xiao Tan's pressure will be reduced a lot. Of course, this
is a good thing.
However, if you look at it from the perspective of the master of the academy, this may very well mean that... the emperor will further suppress Qingliu.
This is not a sign worth cheering for.
So, although he knew it was inappropriate, Xiao Tan still couldn't help but think of a sentence.
Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness!
This sentence is really appropriate to put here.
However, no matter what Academician Xiao thought, it could not change the situation.
Sure enough, the next moment, the emperor said.
"This is a dereliction of duty by the officials!"
"Thirteen censors are in charge of various parts of the country, and there is no one who dares to exceed the number. How can the Hanlin Academy be in charge of Wenhan, so why are there so many redundant officials? It must be rectified!"
So, Wang Wen immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said.
"Please give me your Majesty's instructions."
The emperor pondered for a moment, tapped the table twice with his right hand, and then said.
"The Ministry of Personnel will immediately organize the list of candidates for selection. When it is published after the new year, it will work with Academician Xiao to conduct a performance evaluation specifically for the Hanlin Academy. In addition, the departure time of Shu Jishi will be advanced and will be conducted together with this performance evaluation."
"This time when the academy is closed, three outstanding students will be selected to teach editing, editing, and review. The rest will be sent back to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for selection. After that, the Hanlin Academy will have a quota of five people each for editing, editing, and review."
"Nowadays, officials in the Hanlin Academy who exceed the quota will be judged according to their performance appraisal results. Those who are rated as superior will be transferred to the ministry and promoted to the second level. Those who are rated as average will remain in office. Those who are rated as lower will be transferred to the ministry or local area.
"
"After this performance appraisal, the Hanlin Academy should restore the quota, and no more officials should be appointed. If so, the Ministry of Personnel will be responsible!"
Well, let's not talk about anyone now. The Ministry of War is going to be busy, and the Ministry of Personnel and the Hanlin Academy will not be idle either.
Wang Wen and Xiao Tan stepped forward at the same time and accepted the order.
"I obey the decree."
However, Xiao Tan's expression was obviously a bit more sad than Wang Wen's.
On the contrary, Wang Wen, who had obviously been reprimanded, was calmer.
Originally, this was not his responsibility. If we really wanted to say who caused the current situation, it would have been the generations of emperors who turned a blind eye to the Imperial Academy's excess quota.
Does taking the blame for generations of previous emperors count as taking the blame?
Of course, what's more, as the leader of the selection process, Wang Wen can see many things that others may not be able to see at the moment.
Regarding the Hanlin Academy's rectification this time, it is difficult to say whether the emperor did it deliberately or just pushed the flow.
But there is no doubt that the emperor still maintained his usual style, not moving, moving like thunder, and stopping when he clicked.
Before today, no one would have thought that the emperor would take action against the Hanlin Academy.
However, once action is taken, it will be a thorough overhaul. All officials who exceed their quota will be cleared out of the Hanlin Academy, and from then on, they will be implemented in strict accordance with the customs.
At the same time, if we carefully consider the emperor's words, we can see the way of combining hardness and softness.
Although he said that he wanted to rectify the Hanlin Academy, the emperor was very generous when it came to transferring officials.
According to the usual practice, the Hanlin Qingliu Huaxuan was transferred to the ministry and promoted to a higher level. On this point, the emperor was not too harsh.
Those who excel in the assessment can even be promoted to two levels directly if they are transferred to the ministry.
You must know that among the officials in the Hanlin Academy who have the highest official position, they have the sixth-rank ministers as ministers and lecturers. If this is done, they can be transferred to the fifth-rank Shaoqing of various temples or the fifth-rank doctors of various ministries.
No matter which one of these two official positions, they are extremely valuable positions. This can be seen just by looking at the fierce debate surrounding the few doctors in the Ministry of War in the court some time ago.
Although the situation that time was special, the official positions that can be played at the level of Qiqing are all extraordinary!
Therefore, from this perspective, although the emperor was rectifying the Hanlin Academy, he actually gave these Hanlin officials real benefits.
Of course, the price is that after they leave, the power of the Hanlin Academy will be greatly reduced.
However, it is obviously conceivable that compared to his own career, what is the development of the Hanlin Academy?
It moves like thunder, but turns into spring breeze and rain.
The emperor's methods are so clever that people really admire him!
Silently making a preliminary assessment of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy in his heart, Wang Wen pondered for a moment and then said.
"Your Majesty, what about the science and technology officials requested by the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
As the top leaders of the Ministry of Personnel and the Hanlin Academy, Wang Wen and Xiao Tan had no objections to this matter, so it was naturally settled as such.
Since the emperor has given a clear attitude on the placement of officials, it will not be too difficult to implement it.
After all, to a certain extent, this arrangement still gave Qingliu enough face.
However, the Hanlin Academy's problem was solved, but looking back, there was still no progress in the Metropolitan Procuratorate's needs.
Fengxianguan is different from other official positions. There are six subjects and thirteen roads. Whether it is for Shi Zhong or Shi Zhong, whether it is a censor in charge or an ordinary censor, although there are differences in authority, the grades are all seventh grade.
And further up, the censor of Qiandu, jumped directly to the fourth rank.
For those who are over-subscribed in the Hanlin Academy, the lowest review is from the seventh rank, and the highest rank is the minister, the rank is the sixth rank. Even if they jump up two levels, they will not be able to reach the imperial censor of Qiandu.
Therefore, even if they want to be transferred, they can only be transferred to other temple supervisors or to the fifth or sixth grade officials of the six ministries.
As for the review and editing of the seventh-level examinations, which are inferior in assessment, they can be transferred to Ke Dao.
But the problem is, what Ke Dao lacks are capable ministers who can make a difference in rectifying the army. If these people are rated inferior and transferred here, wouldn't it be obvious that they are causing trouble?
Wang Wen didn't like Yu Qian, but he didn't want to deliberately make things difficult for him.
When the matter has been discussed to this extent, it is indeed necessary for the emperor to come forward to finalize it.
So, Zhu Qiyu thought for a moment and said.
"After the Shujishi leave the palace, some of them will be selected and awarded. In the spring of next year, some will be selected and awarded. If the remaining ones are not enough, the ministers of the third rank and above of the court will be recommended from the officials and supervisors of the eighth rank and above of the court."
"There are currently 122 Kedao officials, and there are 28 vacancies. This selection of Kedao officers is specially designed for the Ministry of War to organize military camps. A total of fifty officials have been awarded."
"The newly-appointed Kedao officials will be awarded for a period of one year. At the end of the period, their performance will be evaluated and determined according to the number of Kedao officials. Those who are good will be promoted and those who are bad will be removed."
Mr. Wang's eyes lit up. With the emperor's words, everything would be easy to handle.
Again, civil service is the main job of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It is not difficult to select and appoint officials. There is nothing else in the imperial court, and there are a lot of people.
As an official position second only to Hanlin Qingliu, Kedao has a high gold content.
Its greatest feature is that it has both the attributes of a capital official and a local government.
In terms of affiliation, the thirteen censors were all officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and belonged to the capital.
But in terms of actual management, they are responsible for inspection work in various places.
When being promoted, Kedao officials are based on the standards of Beijing officials. If they move to other places, they can be promoted directly. If they are excellent in the assessment, they can be promoted beyond the next level if they are transferred to other places.
At the same time, those who patrol local areas can also be regarded as having local experience. Although they are still different from those in charge, they will not be regarded as people who only talk and do not understand practical matters.
Therefore, the position of censor may not seem to be of high rank, but in fact it takes advantage of both sides.
If you really have to choose people, there are so many people trying to get in.
The main reason why Wang Wen has been reluctant to agree is that the group of censors is really annoying!
During the last inspection in Beijing, he still remembered the difficulties the Metropolitan Procuratorate put on the officials.
Therefore, Mr. Wang is unwilling to fill the gap in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
However, if the Ministry of Civil Affairs has additional power to evaluate the performance of these science and education officials, it would be quite different.
After listening to the emperor's words, Mr. Wang has already begun to think about how to formulate special performance appraisal standards at this time next year...
