Chapter 637

King Yu wanted to go out, but Zhang Hao was so depressed when he heard his words. How could he do this? Isn’t this cheating on himself?

However, Your Majesty has not agreed now. Anyway, if you don’t go, Your Majesty will probably have no choice.

The next day, Zhang Hao took King Yu, the Imperial Guards and the Jinyiwei to escort the prisoners, and even went to the capital. Along the way, the people watched and saw the prisoners sitting in the prison carts smashed rotten eggs, and some even smashed stones. This was a bit too much.

They have not yet tried, so it would not work if they were killed. After finally leaving Shandong, Zhang Hao and the others took King Yu back to Beijing first. As for King Lu and the others, they can only slowly escort back to Beijing now.

That afternoon, Zhang Hao took King Yu back to the capital, and the two of them went straight to Yuxi Palace. Jiajing learned the news in advance, and Zhang Hao and the others wrote a letter.

"Have you not come back yet? It's almost dark!" Jiajing asked while sitting at the tea table in the dan room.

"Your Majesty, you know Zhang Hao. As long as he returns to Beijing, he will definitely come to the Danfang to report immediately. I guess he will be on the way!" Lu Fang came over and said to Jiajing.

"Well, then wait. These two kids did a good job in Shandong this time. The boy Yu has also learned a lot!" Jiajing said with a smile.

"No, when you went there, your Majesty, you were worried. Now that they are back, don't worry!" Lu Fang said to Jiajing with a smile.

"Well, don't worry anymore, what else are you worried about when you come back!" Jiajing still smiled.

Soon, a father-in-law came in and bowed to Jiajing and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, and Mr. Lu An are back. You have already entered Yuxi Palace!"

"Okay, okay, let them come in later!" Jiajing said happily to the father-in-law when he heard this.

"Yes!" The father-in-law went out, and soon Zhang Hao and the others arrived at the Danfang.

"My son has met my father!"

"I have seen the emperor!" After the two of them came in, they immediately bowed and bowed.

"Well, everyone came over and sat down and said, they were all good!" Jiajing looked at the two of them with great satisfaction and said.

"Thank you Father (Emperor)" Zhang Hao and the others stood up with a smile.

"Come on, sit down here and say, it's hard to go on the way?" Jiajing said to them, and when he looked at King Yu, he also had a doting look.

"It's okay, not tired. I was tired at the beginning, but I followed Brother Man to practice martial arts. Now I'm not tired. My father and son minister have some martial arts skills now!" King Yu said to Jiajing with a smile.

"Oh, you still practice martial arts?" Jiajing immediately asked King Yu in surprise.

He didn't want to learn it before, but unexpectedly, he followed Zhang Hao out and practiced martial arts.

"Well, the main reason is that I saw that Brother Man got up so early to practice martial arts, so I couldn't sleep, so I practiced with it. Later I found that practicing martial arts is really good and strengthening my body!" King Yu said to Jiajing.

"Okay, then you need to persevere. You can't be lazy in the future!" Jiajing said as he looked at King Yu with a smile.

"Father, that's fine, it's okay to be lazy occasionally!" King Yu said with a smile as he looked at Jiajing.

"Well, man, this time it was done well, really good! Although I know that Chen Lian was controlling it in advance, it was also arranged by you. I also know that you want to promote Chen Lian, but it should be your credit, and it is yours. Chen Lian, the position of commander, has reported it to me.

Let him fight with Liu Yunhai. Liu Yunhai is a little arrogant now. You are no longer in the capital from time to time. Liu Yunhai feels that the Jinyiwei is his!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I mean that. I originally thought that he was the person around His Majesty and was more steady in his work. Unexpectedly, it changed in the end. The main reason was that the temptation outside was too great. Many people stared at him, and it was probably impossible to guard against it!" Zhang Hao sat there and looked at Jiajing with a wry smile and said.

"Then why can you defend yourself?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and continued to ask.

"Then they can compare with me. Who is rich and I still lack this little money? They give me 1 million taels, and I don't take a look at him. Who is looking down on me? The key is, do they have so much money to give to me?" Zhang Hao immediately said contemptuously.

"You kid, that's true. Well, last time you wrote a letter to talk about how to deal with the affairs of those ministers. I'm thinking about it. As you said, there are really no ministers available here. By the way, next year's spring exam, I'm going to add a list of grace, that is, in addition to the Jinshi, I'm going to admit another 200 people as a backup and grant them the Jinshi. What do you think?" Jiajing sat there, looking at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Your Majesty, how can I understand this?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing without understanding and said.

"You, you, you boy!" When Jiajing heard Zhang Hao say this, he pointed at Zhang Hao so angry that he couldn't speak.

"I didn't understand it at first. Your Majesty, this is the matter between the Imperial College and the Ministry of Personnel. I know this so much. However, there are indeed not enough officials now. The main reason is that we have killed a lot of them in recent years, but those are corrupt officials. In addition, the promotion of the Ministry of Personnel is unreasonable and completely unreasonable!" Zhang Hao sat there and spoke.

"How is it unreasonable?" Jiajing immediately asked Zhang Hao when he heard this.

"First of all, many places now have officials who are currently under the middle and above for three consecutive terms, but they just don't promote them. Those who are related to gifts, even if they are medium, will be promoted first.

Your Majesty, you should give the Ministry of Personnel a provision that is, for two consecutive terms, middle- and upper-level officials, you must be promoted, and the grade must be promoted. If you have a lower-level assessment, you must have a middle-level assessment in the next step to promote it, otherwise you will not be promoted!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"There is such a regulation on the Ministry of Personnel, don't you know?" Jiajing asked Zhang Hao when he heard Zhang Hao say this.

"I don't know, why does such a thing happen?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing in surprise and said.

"A bastard!" Jiajing cursed angrily at this moment. What Zhang Hao said just now means that the Ministry of Personnel itself is doing things randomly, so why are the officials below not doing things randomly?

"Father, this is really the case. This time we found several good officials in Shandong. The officials were well-rated and loved by the people, but they just didn't promote them. One of the officials has been the county magistrate for four terms and has changed to four places.

This time, after our on-site inspection, we sent people to the places where the officials he had served as before, and found that it was indeed good. This time, he had been promoted to prefect and father. Several such examples have been found in Shandong. If it weren't for King Chalu this time, we would not have discovered them at all. Some excellent officials were buried like this!" King Yu also said to Jiajing immediately.

"It seems that the Ministry of Personnel still needs to be rectified, King Yu, how about you going to rectify this time?" Jiajing thought for a while, looked at King Yu and said.

"Yes, my son is here!" When King Yu heard this, he said happily. This was the first time he had really done his job for the court.

"If you find out those who are favoritism and fraud, you cannot spare them easily. Administration is the most important department in the court. You must investigate with your heart!" Jiajing said to King Yu.

"Yes, my son must investigate thoroughly!" King Yu immediately bowed and said.

"Well, next spring exam, barbarians, you have to investigate the people who are Jinshi, and those who are given Jinshi. If you are not good at being good, then you will not be valued. Of course, Jinshi is still Jinshi. They pass the exam based on their talents. I cannot say that they will erase them. However, they are not good at being greedy, have a cowardly personality, and are determined not to use them. This kind of person is also a disaster!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"Ah, this is not good. How can we know if they are good officials now?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing in embarrassment and said, mainly because he didn't want to work.

Jiajing glared at Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao continued: "At least, let them be the county magistrate for one year, you can know if they can do it, right? They must investigate clearly for their first position. If there are corruption and dereliction of duty, then wouldn't it be better to eliminate such people directly? This is also to select and reserve talents that need to be reused in advance for the court, how good is it?" Zhang Hao sat there and looked at Jiajing and said.

"Well, that's fine, but I don't want them to lose themselves once they gain power!" Jiajing sighed when he heard what Zhang Hao said.

"There is nothing to do, this is human nature!" Zhang Hao immediately spread his hands and said, "I have no choice in such a thing."

"Come on, you two happen to be here. Let's talk about how to deal with King Lu, King Yu, let's talk first!" Jiajing also began to investigate King Yu at this moment. After all, the relationship between the emperor and the vassal kings is also very important. How the Ming Dynasty treats those vassal kings in the future is related to the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. Jiajing needs to test King Yu.

"Father, my son's idea is that it is too tired to raise so many royal families. This time, King Lu's crimes can be done without killing. It is actually not very meaningful to kill or not, but it can be banned, which is for other children.

Now our solution to the royal family is to reduce the burden on the court as much as possible, and to reduce their power as much as possible, so that they will not act as a mighty person in the local area. In this way, they will be no different from ordinary children. According to the current practice, those vassal kings will take six generations to return to the common people, which has been a bit long!
