Chapter 479 The Hell of the Scholar(1/2)

Fan Zhi was transferred back to the capital and did not enter the Political Affairs Hall. Instead, he was in charge of the six ministries and became the Lord of Heaven.

Governing the country means governing officials. How could Chai Rong not know this principle?

What's more, so many people resigned and launched new people on a large scale. How many corrupt officials will be there? If they don't manage them well and let these people do whatever they want, the whole situation will be ruined.

Who should be used, how to supervise after promotion, how to evaluate, whether to be promoted or down, whether to be rewarded or punished, for so many things, there must be someone with clear mind and high prestige and sufficient prestige.

Ye Hua privately recommended Fan Zhi to Chai Rong.

After five years of Prime Minister, he returned to take charge of the Ministry of Personnel. Not only could he intimidate all officials, but he could also put unprecedented pressure on the Political Affairs Hall. Don’t look at the fact that those ministers stood with the emperor for the time being, who would know if they would play tricks in private?

Fan Zhi is back, like a mountain, pressing on their heads. If you are disobedient and do not work hard, someone will replace you at any time.

Of course, on the other hand, the same is true for Fan Zhi.

He blocked the emperor's anger for the Political Affairs Hall and was sent to Yecheng and sat on the bench.

Over the past year, Fan Zhi has tasted the taste of losing power, and he is very dissatisfied with his husbands.

He was given the power of personnel. No matter how generous Lao Fan was, he would not be lenient with his disciples and former officials. Chai Rong had already had enough of the situation where the Zhengshitang was dominant.

He wanted to support the Ministry of Personnel as a new pole of power and divide the authority of the Political Affairs Hall.

Sure enough, after Fan Zhi came to power, he showed amazing courage... The Political Affairs Hall meeting, several princesses, and Ye Hua had a special order from the emperor to attend the audience.

He came very early, and what surprised Ye Hua was that Fan Zhi came earlier, and he sat in the closest position to the door, the farthest away from the throne of the prime minister who originally belonged to him.

Lao Fan closed his eyes slightly, his waist was straight, and he was resting there.

Ye Hua came, and he raised his big eyelids and saw that it was the champion Hou, and squeezed out a smile.

"Harewell Hou has been working hard for many years, and finally the time to harvest, I am promising."

Ye Hua smiled calmly, "You are kind to you, Xianggong Fan, you will be able to grow spring and harvest in autumn. If you don't pick it well and keep it properly, the fruits will rot."

"yes!"

Fan Zhi laughed, "Mr. Marquis, do you think I am willing to pick fruits for you?"

"That depends on Mr. Fan's methods!"

Fan Zhi didn't say anything and continued to close his eyes. This old guy was much more straightforward than before he sat on the bench. In the past, he always held the prime minister's airs and was difficult to deal with, so setbacks made people improve!

Ye Hua crossed his legs and savored the tea. He probably had a good show.

Before long, the four husbands arrived one after another.

The former old friend disappeared for a year and appeared in the Political Affairs Hall again. Who can not be embarrassed? A strong-minded person like Wei Renpu just nodded and sat in his own position, not caring at all. As for the other three, he was embarrassed.

"Fan Xianggong is highly respected, so he deserves..."

Before Wang Pu finished speaking, Fan Zhi waved his hand, "I am in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and are subordinates of all your ministers. If you have any questions, just give me instructions. Let's do our business!"

Lao Fan had no intention of changing his position at all, and Wang Pu and Li Gu could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

After sitting down, Wang Pu took the lead in speaking, "Donalds, Zhao Pu, Hebei has just sent a report. The Qingzhang in Hebei is very good. The people have obtained land and started spring plowing. According to Zhao Pu's estimate, this year, Hebei will be able to increase grain by more than 5 million stones. This year, it will not only supply military supplies in Youzhou and other places, but also allocate a part to ensure the cost of the capital. This is a great achievement. How should we reward you? What do you think?"

Wei Renpu said in a deep voice: "Zhao Pu is a great talent. He turned out to be the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. I thought he should be transferred back to the capital and take a step forward."

Xue Juzheng's old face immediately collapsed. The person surnamed Wei is really not a person. If you take a step forward, isn't it just robbing my Privy Councilor? Since standing with Ye Hua, you are becoming more and more shameless, blatant and unscrupulous!

Xue Juzheng wanted to say something, but Zhao Pu's contribution was real, and he refuted it speechlessly.

However, Wang Pu thought for a while and said, "Zhao Pu is indeed a rare talent. At the beginning of the country... the three ministers stood together. I think it would be better to let him go to Beijing and take over the Grand Secretary of Jixian Palace!"

Since the reign of Wu Zetian, there was no real prime minister in the Tang Dynasty. Most of them were entitled to the title of a common prime minister and were in charge of the prime minister's affairs.

Therefore, if you want to distinguish the status of prime ministers, you should look at their bachelor's title.

If it is a Grand Secretary of Zhaowenguan, then it is the Prime Minister. If it is a Grand Secretary of Zhaowenguan and supervising the national history at the same time, it means that there are only two grandparents, and the second grandson is a Grand Secretary of Jixian Palace.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, the three majors are standing together, like Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu of the country, the prime minister is the Grand Secretary of Zhaowenguan, the second major minister supervises the National History, and the three major ministers are the Grand Secretary of Jixian Palace.

Wang Pu thought about giving the Three Prime Ministers to Zhao Pu, and there were more ideas here.

Ye Hua observed silently beside him, and he knew very well.

Zhao Pu turned out to be the deputy envoy of Privy Council. If he was promoted to Privy Council, he would not have to make any transition and directly control the Privy Council and would be able to compete with the Secretary of the Central Secretariat.

Zhao Pu is not Xue Juzheng, not as soft as Lao Xue. Moreover, with the relationship between Zhao Pu and Ye Hua, he can instantly become another giant who competes with Wang Pu with the help of the military.

There is already one more Fan Zhi, and another one Zhao Pu, how can Wang Pu feel?

Wang Xianggong proposed that the three prime ministers would stand together, which seemed to be a step further. However, after entering the school of the Secretariat, Zhao Pu needed to adapt for a while, and at least for a few months, he was not qualified to speak. Moreover, there were two prime ministers who had a far more qualification than him. Even if he had firmly been in charge of the Three Prime Ministers, how much power he could get depends on Wang Pu's thoughts.

Why do you say that civil officials are powerful? It’s so powerful here?

It seems that they all improve and improve, but the difference is huge. If there is no help from those who know the profession, they will not know how to suffer.

Ye Hua could see it more and more clearly. No wonder the martial artists could not beat the literati during the peaceful years. There were too many articles in the middle.

Fortunately, Fan Zhi was brought back, and he should express his opinion on some things.

Sure enough, Fan Zhi spoke, "Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Wei, Zhao Pu has made contributions, but his term of office is not over. The Ministry of Personnel cannot give a high-level assessment. Without the high-level assessment, there will be no promotion... Of course, I am not against promoting Zhao Pu. The Ministry of Personnel's intention is either to wait until his term of office is over, to complete the land and a good governance of the Yellow River, and to have a high-level assessment and enter the political affairs hall openly; or, please ask Your Majesty to surrender and select Zhao Pu to Beijing. Only in this way can the court's rules not be broken. What do you think?"

Ye Hua secretly gave a thumbs up, Lao Fan was trying to do something!

This was a delaying plan. In addition to being responsible for clearing the throne, Zhao Pu also managed the river. These two are great contributions. If one person is in his own right, a three-phase in a void position will not be able to reward him. By then, only the Privy Councilor or the Prime Minister can be worthy of Zhao Pu's contributions.

As for asking Chai Rong to issue an imperial edict, this is even more difficult. There are still a lot of things in Hebei, and the emperor will not let Zhao Pu come back easily.

In short, Fan Zhi easily resolved Wang Pu’s plan.

This is the advantage of being a heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel!

Ye Hua's legs crossed higher. With Lao Fan here, his men would not suffer any losses, and his husbands could not get the power. This result was very good...

So Ye Hua changed into a more comfortable position and watched their performance.

After a relatively gentle discussion on rewarding the merits, the atmosphere became much more solemn.

Fan Zhi took the lead in attacking, "Hebei's achievements in cleaning the cemetery are a model in the world, but there are still some people who patted their chests and promised that they would also complete the cemetery before spring plowing. But what about the result? Less than a thousand evil gentry dealt with, and the land they cleared was only five million acres, which was far less than the results of Hebei."

Fan Zhi turned his eyes on Li Gu.

"Mr. Li, what do you say?"

Li Gu took advantage of his old face and said, "The Qingzhang in the capital is already more difficult than Hebei, and the capital is densely populated. In Japan, the late emperor issued a land grant order and a land equalization order. The powerful landlords have been dealt with. The number of evil gentry in the capital is small and the land hidden is small, which shows that the previous achievements have been remarkable and there is no way to be cleared!"

"Hahaha!"

Fan Zhi laughed loudly, "What a strange and strange theory! According to Mr. Li, isn't it that the worse the political achievements, the more reasonable it makes!"

Li Gu also widened his eyes. You are no longer the prime minister, so why am I afraid of you!

"Official Fan Tian, ​​I'm just talking about the matter, don't mess around!"

"Okay, I'll just do the matter!" Fan Zhi faced the tit-for-tat, without giving in. "According to my investigation, in order to complete the clearance of the land of Zhangzhang as soon as possible, your Xianggong Li transferred officials from all over the country and asked them to go to unfamiliar places to be responsible for the clearance of Zhangzhang. Do you think this will lead to a disadvantage and everyone will do their duty, right?"

Li Gu said: "I didn't say that! But it is effective to exchange for officials. These five million acres are cleaned up like this!"

"You are wrong! This is not an effect, but a perfunctory excuse!" Fan Zhi said sternly: "The officials of the prefectures near the capital also colluded with each other. Some families have fields and fields, crossed states and counties, and the amount is astonishing. Just for the exchange, but without careful supervision, it is inevitable that they will disobey and privately give them a visit!"

Fan Zhi said, taking out a large stack of secret reports.

"There are problems found by the embroidered envoys, and there are secret reports sent by the Censor. I have been verified by someone. Among them, there are more than a dozen local officials who have not devoted themselves to clearing the land of the siege. On the contrary, they condoned and protected the court's decrees turned into empty papers. As the Minister of Personnel, I have to submit them to the Political Affairs Hall and ask you to rule the matter!"

Fan Zhi said, and delivered a memorial to Wang Pu.

"According to the rules, the Ministry of Personnel has the power to report to the matter. I informed the Political Affairs Hall and submitted it to His Majesty to request the Holy Tribunal! It won't be a problem for you guys."

After Fan Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and took a big step, leaving the Political Affairs Hall.

He took a deep breath, then exhaled the turbid air in his chest with force, not to mention how happy he was.

The first shot started. If I asked me to preside over the Ministry of Personnel, I would definitely not obey my orders. Look, I will surprise you!

"Mr. Fan, you are so majestic and murderous!" Ye Hua followed out and praised with a smile.

Fan Zhi clasped his fists, "I have just entered the capital and I have just taken charge of the Ministry of Personnel and can get these real evidence. I am not relying on the guidance of the marquis! I will follow any instructions from the marquis in the future!"

"Don't!"

Ye Hua waved his hand, "I didn't help you. These things were made by Taifu Chai. You have to thank him!"

Fan Zhi was suddenly shocked and asked, "Mr. Marquis, I have never said that it was Taifu Chai's help, how do you know?"

They both looked at each other and laughed.

They are all foxes on the mountain, so of course there is no need to tell any stories about Stories from a Chinese Studio.

Ye Hua instructed Chai Shouli to do these things, one to avoid suspicion, and the other to resolve the hatred they had before... And after Chai Shouli, it was equivalent to telling Chai Rong to avoid losing the excuses of the ministers' private friendship. It would kill more than one kill, and there would be many benefits.

Fan Zhi and Ye Hua walked side by side, and he asked, "Marty, is it so difficult to be clear to the capital?"

"Um!"

Ye Hua nodded, "Mr. Fan, Li Gu used his strength, but the land around the capital is really complicated. There are royal relatives and eunuchs in the palace, all of them are great gods. Li Gu was afraid of offending others, so he mobilized officials from other prefectures and counties to investigate. It seemed to be huge and extraordinary, but it was just a mere appearance and scare people, and the actual effect was very limited."

Fan Zhi smiled, "Li Gu is from a financial management background, and always pays attention to making money when doing things. Even if he is pushed forward, this person does not have the courage to burn his boats and cut off his arm!"

"Does Mr. Fan have it?" Ye Hua asked with a smile.

Fan Zhi pondered for a while and asked back: "Mr. Marquis, I want to ask if you have it? If you have it, I will have it!"
