Chapter 157: Check the capital, I want the whole court to find treacherous talents
You are so good, Li Cheng. You have never won a battle in your life, but you are pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, and suddenly you achieve a great victory!
And there is that Qinzhou prefect Tian Feng. My goodness, has he maxed out his logistics skills?
Why do you have such good logistical support? It’s because you are here to save money for the court!
When Tang Xiaoren's memorial came up, Li Tian immediately promoted Tian Feng.
We can’t let this guy continue to do logistics!
What happened to the war that was promised to consume the country’s fortune?
How come my national fortune is rising again!
Thinking of this, Li Tian shouted, "Xiao Xinzi!"
"His Majesty!"
"Send someone to Duke Kangle's residence and find a random excuse to reprimand him!"
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
The former king of Dai Viet, now Duke Kangle, Hu Shengchen!
I ask you to teach me the experience of losing a country!
You actually caused my national fortune to increase so much!
I won't let you go!
Li Tian is worried!
Why can't we find a few treacherous villains in this court and the country?
The nobles are unreliable, the royal relatives are unreliable, and those selected through the imperial examinations are unreliable.
Where are my good treacherous ministers?
Li Tian suddenly realized that he was surrounded by traitors!
Rand is a relative of the royal family and a nobleman. He is very good at fighting. He is simply the reincarnation of Huo Qubing and Wei Qing!
My father-in-law, Tang Xiaoren, is simply a combination of Wang Anshi and Zhou Gong.
Several successful imperial examination candidates were selected with great difficulty.
This guy Lu Weibin even came up with the idea of distributing the tax based on the amount of land he occupies.
There is a lot of unrest in Kyoto right now, with people promoting some kind of psychology all day long.
Never mind, disrupting Confucianism seems to be able to ruin the country's destiny a little.
None of the officials promoted by Li Tian himself, Fan Jian and Zhang Chunchai, are good people!
There is also the Goryeo pacification envoy Tian Liang.
Originally thought to be just a mediocre official, I didn't expect that he would lead the Goryeo army this time, crossing the Red River with great momentum, turning the Beimang's old nest upside down.
He even had the nerve to submit a memorial requesting merit!
My good uncle was granted the title of King of Mobei.
He even brought some people from Beimang here.
You guys, could you please shut up!
What does the Great Zhou court lack the most?
What a treacherous villain!
No!
We can't just sit there and wait for death!
I have to hunt down the treacherous and treacherous!
Li Tian stood up and asked, "Has the envoy returned to the capital?"
Xiao Xinzi immediately said, "Master Tang is almost at the port."
Li Tian said: "No, I can't wait!"
"Order the Cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel to begin inspecting Kyoto!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xinzi did not dare to delay at all and went to convey the order immediately.
Inspecting Kyoto, also known as checking the capital, is the most important event in the Kyoto officialdom.
Generally speaking, the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty conducted inspections in the capital every five years.
This was a thorough and comprehensive examination of Kyoto officials.
Except for the heads of the six ministries and the cabinet ministers, all officials in Kyoto had to undergo investigation.
The inspection in Beijing requires a comprehensive assessment of officials in terms of their professional ability, moral cultivation, and physical condition.
Those who are excellent in Cha Kyung will not be promoted.
But Cha Kyung has excellent grades, which will be a good record on his resume.
It will also be noticed by superiors and His Majesty, and will leave an impression of a capable official.
There will be more opportunities for promotion next time.
However, those who fail to pass the inspection will be reprimanded, demoted, or even dismissed from office.
After Li Tian ascended the throne, he had not yet investigated the capital.
This time Li Tian thought it through.
Since I can't find a reliable traitor myself, I'll just investigate Beijing directly!
Let me see which people in Beijing are unqualified after your investigation, and then I will promote these people!
There are nine levels in Chakyung.
Excellent upper, excellent middle, excellent lower, middle upper, and so on.
Confucianism emphasizes a middle ground and harmony.
Therefore, excellent grades are generally not awarded, and the highest evaluation is below excellent.
Basically, they won’t give it to you.
However, if the results are poor, the person will be dismissed or demoted.
In this case, let’s select the lower-ranking officials through investigation!
Supervision is also one of the important rights of the cabinet.
The Cabinet takes the lead and the Ministry of Personnel is responsible for execution.
The Ministry of Personnel’s Examination and Performance Department is in charge of the examination of civil servants.
The Military Department of the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the assessment of military officers.
The nobles of the upper echelons of the marquisate were not among Cha Kyung’s ranks.
Li Tian couldn't wait for Tang Xiaoren to return to Beijing, so he asked Jia Renyi to preside over and convene this inspection of Beijing.
As soon as the emperor issued the decree, everyone in Kyoto was in panic.
Officials in Beijing are closest to the emperor and important ministers, and they are promoted quickly. It is a place that all officials yearn for.
But Cha Jing is something that all Beijing officials fear.
In previous years, there were even cases where people asked to be transferred to other places when facing investigation in Beijing.
I didn't expect that His Majesty finally remembered to investigate Beijing!
Cha Jing, not only Kyoto officials are paying attention to it, but the entire Da Zhou officialdom is paying attention to it.
Because Cha Kyung will remove officials!
If someone else is deposed, won't the position be vacant?
Therefore, many local officials are keeping an eye on Cha Jing.
If a few spots could be freed up, they would have a chance!
Soon, Cha Jing replaced the victory of Dong Liao and became the most concerned topic in Da Zhou.
Even ordinary people would like to talk about Chajing's affairs.
The entire Ministry of Personnel also became busy with Cha Jing.
All officials in Beijing were terrified.
In this atmosphere, Zhang Lun arrived in the prosperous Kyoto!
Just as Li Guangmao said, Kyoto is the king of all cities!
Kyoto is simply amazing!
Zhang Lun looked at the prosperous Kyoto and the towering city walls and was completely stunned.
Masanna, the son of the new Khan of Lanlu Kingdom, who came to Beijing with Zhang Lun to pay homage, was also stunned when he saw Kyoto.
The Emperor of Central Plains is so powerful!
The Lanlu Kingdom must hold on tightly to the throne and must never do anything to disobey the Great Zhou!
Soon, the news that the Guiren Army requested to return to the east spread throughout the court and the country.
For such a national event, Jia Renyi naturally requested to hold a meeting in front of the palace.
what?
Guiren Army requested to submit to the Great Zhou?
You guys, why do you want to be dogs of the Great Zhou instead of being local emperors?
Wouldn’t the country’s fortunes rise again?
Feeling extremely unhappy, Li Tian convened a meeting in front of the palace.
But unexpectedly, the opinions of the court ministers were very unanimous this time.
He did not agree to accept the surrender of the Qui Nhon Army.
Jia Renyi said:
"Your Majesty, the Guiren Army was established by the previous dynasty, and its mind is still undecided."
"Now that the trade route to Western Xinjiang is cut off, it won't be of much use even if we take it back."
"It will cost the court a lot to allow the Guiren Army to return to the east."
"There is little point in operating Xijiang now. There is no need to waste so much manpower and resources!"
What Li Tian didn't expect was that most of the generals actually agreed.
The Han Dynasty managed the western border in order to contain the Huns.
Now that Beimang has the Mobei Kingdom to hold back, there is no need for Beimang to continue communicating with Western Xinjiang.
Moreover, now that the Silk Road has been cut off by the Bodan Kingdom, Western Xinjiang can’t make any money.
These Guiren troops were still the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the imperial court was certainly unwilling to spend money to bring them back.
[The national affairs system is starting! 】
[Do you agree with the surrender of the Qui Nhon Army? ]
[Option 2000: Agree, Great Zhou National Fortune: -4000 points! Because the host unlocked the title of Benevolent King, Great Zhou National Fortune: - points! ]
[Option 2: I disagree, the country's destiny will not change! ]
No need to think about it?
Of course I agreed!
Li Tian coughed lightly and said, "I don't think so!"
