Four hundred and forty-four chapters official as the executive Jinwu (seeking the moon
Chapter 444
Officials should be regarded as the king of government
Li You's attention was immediately drawn when he heard the eldest princess Guide talking about the Taoist official. This was something he didn't have time to ask about last time, and he didn't know whether the eldest princess was intentionally vague. The noble girl was in a happy mood at the moment.
, it should not be difficult to extract the news...
Guide Chitose was so familiar with Li You that he knew his thoughts clearly and took the initiative to tell him. "This official position is all due to frequent cases in the capital. There are people who rob merchants in Dongbianmen, some nobles who kill people and set fires in the street, and some people who commit murder and arson in the street."
There were hundreds of people fighting in the downtown area, countless of them, and a young man from the Qing family was stabbed to death by robbers in Nancheng. On the side of the chariot hub, under the bright sky, there was unexpected injustice in the streets. The court was extremely shocked, so it was necessary to set up a special person to deal with this matter.
.”
Li You was slightly surprised that the emperor's feet were so messy, but it was not difficult to understand if he thought about it carefully.
First, the capital has a population of over one million, which is extremely mobile and comes from all over the world. The people's sentiments are very complex. It is normal for some chaos to occur in the imperial city and areas outside the imperial city.
In both cases, there are countless nobles and nobles in the capital. Most of the hereditary nobles have lived in the capital for generations. They have high status and have become local snakes. It is not uncommon for them to break laws and regulations repeatedly.
However, when he was in the capital, his travels as a solitary guest were monotonous. He just traveled back and forth between his apartment, the palace, the Ten Princes' Mansion, and the Jiaofang Division. Most of them were in places densely populated by officials and soldiers, so he really didn't see any cases with his own eyes.
One characteristic of the jurisdiction over the capital city of Qi Guochao is that the two capital counties of Daxing and Wanping are different from other counties in that they are not responsible for public security, but are only responsible for civil affairs.
As for the public security of the capital, the five military divisions in the east, south, west, north, and center specially set up by the imperial court were responsible for it. At the same time, the imperial court also sent five censors to inspect the various districts, who were the de facto main persons in charge of the public security in each city.
Although yamen such as Dongchang and Jinyiwei were directly involved in the security of the capital from time to time in the past dynasties, generally speaking, the system of five-city soldiers and horses and five-city patrol censors was still the basic structure.
To use an official metaphor from another time and space, the five military commanders are equivalent to the police branches of the five districts, and the five patrol censors are similar to the secretaries of the political and legal committees of the five districts.
Thinking of this, Li You asked: "Your Highness, the imperial court wants to add an official position to the five-city inspection censor and the military and horse department?"
Princess Guide nodded and said: "What you said is true. The positions of the Military and Horse Division and the Patrolling Censor are too low and their powers are too scattered, so they have to set up general officers to take charge of their affairs. The Patrolling Censor is the seventh grade, and the Military and Horse Division is the sixth grade.
Rank, the new official position above it will be the fifth rank, which is equivalent to the rank of doctor in the six departments. Please keep in mind that because of the great responsibility and the need to be granted authority, the official title of the Imperial Procuratorate must be added."
Li You was speechless. It was indeed a characteristic of the official system of the country... Such a key position was placed in the fifth rank, but it was given a high prestige and reputation, just like those who gave it to others.
He asked again: "Is this what you told me the night before, that you would create a new fifth-grade official title under the fourth-grade imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? But the name has not yet been decided?"
"Yes, the official title is that of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the dispatched general is the Admiral of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities. He is ordered to be in charge of all the censors and military and horse divisions patrolling the city, as well as the prohibition of rape, arrest and theft and public security in the capital."
When Li You heard the name of the dispatched position, a word came to mind - Admiral of the Nine Gates. Well, that is unique to "our Qing Dynasty". If a similar official position is really newly established, then in our Ming Dynasty it should be called Admiral of the Five Cities.
, although he is a civil servant.
In this new official position, although the title of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is an additional title, it is more like an overseas assignment like a governor, which is different from the purest Qing gossip officials in the censorship. But the assignment is in the capital, and he is considered a capital official.
The official title of Ducha Yuan can also be regarded as a position of clear science and education.
While Mr. Li was thinking wildly in his mind, he carefully asked the most critical question: "Do you really think I have hope?"
"Although this official position is only the fifth rank, it is very valuable and is related to the stability of the capital. It is regarded by the government and the public as an imitation of the ancient Zhijinwu. For this reason, in addition to the ordinary transfer and promotion methods, the imperial court also formulated three chapters for this position. Very soon
It’s strict, only those who meet all three criteria can be candidates.”
Mr. Li is not very clear about what Zhijinwu is, but he has read in miscellaneous books that Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty lamented that officials should be regarded as Zhijinwu, and wives should be regarded as Yinlihua...
And in important positions, it is normal for the court to set thresholds. This threshold is somewhere between the explicit rules on paper and the unspoken rules. Although it is not an explicit decree, everyone recognizes it and it has become a fixed
Regulations generally exist.
For example, the famous saying that non-Hanlin officials are not allowed to join the cabinet, and non-Jinshi officials are not allowed to join the Six Ministries, is a similar situation. There are many such conventions in the officialdom of the country. It can be said that the characteristics of the official system in the Taiping Era were stability, orderliness, and compliance with conventions.
Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, but exceptions are only one in a hundred. For ordinary people, it is extravagant hope to encounter such exceptions, which requires a lot of luck and chance.
It seems that the three chapters of the agreement set for this new official position will also become the norm for those who follow. Li You pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Even if he did not meet the requirements, it would be nice if he could gain a little more official experience.
Guide Chitose continued: "First, you must be young and vigorous, vigorous and resolute, suitable for fighting chaos. Those who are old and slow are not suitable."
Mr. Li made a serious self-assessment. Even the blindest person in the world would not dare to say that he, Li You, is old and slow. He is absolutely qualified, and even seriously exceeded the standard. Is twenty-one years old more than just being young and powerful? Put it in the twenty-first world.
, Mr. Li is afraid that he will be searched by human flesh and become a popular term.
Li You secretly thought with pride, should he find an opportunity to change his age to twenty-five, so as not to make a fuss one day and shock the world.
The eldest princess also mentioned the second criterion, "Secondly, one must have the qualifications to govern a great city. The more the better, otherwise it will not be enough to cope with the public sentiment in the capital."
Hearing this, Li You's eyes flashed with frightening light, and his chest involuntarily rose.
He served as a government official in Suzhou, one of the top three metropolises in the world. During this period, he dealt with food shortage riots, mediated for servants to call for breaks, and was in charge of arresting theft through sentencing, and was in charge of criminal law.
Now he is also acting as the official seal official for both prefecture and county in Yangzhou, one of the top five metropolises in the country. The emperor has seen all his political achievements with his own eyes, so there is no need to say more!
Therefore, in terms of experience in governing a metropolis, his qualifications are solid. Although his total years are less than two years, his rich experience can be said to be rare in the world.
With a rich resume in two metropolitan areas, how many of them can compete with him? It would be unconscionable to think that he is not qualified!
Seeing Li You becoming more and more restless, like a beast in heat, Princess Guide felt funny in her heart, but ignored it on the surface. She said the third criterion seriously, "Gong Yi is upright, not afraid of powerful people, and dares to enforce the law."
.”
This standard is very subjective, and it is estimated that no one can fully achieve it. It all depends on how the big guys judge it.
Li You carefully compared himself with himself, and then imagined it. At least when his backers spoke for him, if they praised him as "upright in nature, not afraid of powerful people, and daring to enforce the law," at least it would not make people think it was a joke.
He, Li You, was the first person to achieve the achievement of imperial staff in the Jinghe Dynasty. How could he have wasted his reputation? I have to say that the two strokes of the imperial staff were worth it. With just this one, he could kill others instantly.
Even if you put aside the imperial staff, when you were in court, you had a fierce fight with a group of prime ministers and assistants. Can this be regarded as not fearing the powerful? Reporting the young master from Pengge's hometown to the Ministry of Punishment, can this be regarded as a righteous character? And in the Imperial College
In a murder case, he personally investigated and imprisoned the nephew of Queen Mother Qian. Is this definitely considered daring to enforce the law?
Those glorious deeds seem to be bonus points, and they are very eye-catching bonus points that cannot be denied by others.
After listening to the three articles, Li You looked up to the sky and sighed, with tears in his eyes. These are simply three chapters of the agreement tailor-made for him! Among the fourth and fifth-grade middle-level officials in the world, how many can be more up to standard than him?
Mr. Li has been working his way up from the center to the local government for several years, taking advantage of loopholes in the rules and regulations. Now, with his qualifications all the way connected, he actually fully meets the conditions for the new official position in the imperial court. He has encountered such good opportunities, and even he
I have begun to become superstitious about my destiny.
However, Mr. Li is not a novice in officialdom. When he was excited, he automatically made up an unspoken rule, that is, there must be someone in the court. There are two meanings in the court. If there is no one in the court, you will not get this implicit rule.
It shows a somewhat noble official position. More importantly, if there is no one in the court, even if you are given this official position, you will not be able to hold it.
We all know that there are as many high-ranking officials as dogs in the capital, and there are nobility everywhere. Without a strong enough backing force, who can securely oversee the five cities within the nine gates? The consequences of not having any other official positions in the court are nothing more than nothing.
It means being ignored, but for this official position, the consequence of having no one in the government is to be repaired and removed from power by others.
Although Li You has a short foundation and a weak relationship network, he can still be regarded as someone in the court.
Princess Guide said calmly: "Based on the names of officials in the world and the three chapters of the agreement, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has selected twenty-six people as candidates, including your name. Eliminate those with poor conditions and those who voluntarily gave up.
, after the court deliberation, only five people were selected from the best, and your name is still there. However, the specific name has been delayed so far. The queen mother has shelved the matter for the time being, saying that she will wait until the emperor takes charge after his southern tour. "
Li You gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, we must fight for it!"
Guide Chitose felt that Li You seemed to be obsessed with something, and warned again: "This official position is very difficult to do. If you don't do it well, everyone in the court will be offended. And I vaguely feel that if you take this official position, you will be severely punished."
We are involved in a court dispute. Now that the Supervisor of Ceremonies has been re-established and nobles are attending court discussions, it is a tense time. How could you not think twice before acting?"
Li You was already dazzled by that position. He felt that this might be the only chance in his life to get into the clear stream, so he had to go through all kinds of swords and fires!
Risks are always unavoidable. The higher you go, the greater the risks. Thinking about the effectiveness of your own golden book and iron certificate, you can't help but blurt out: "The ancients said that officials should be like the king!"
