Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 128 Being a second parent is not that easy

The reason why Cheng Tujie, the censor, would carefully explore Hu Weiyong's words.

Or it was because he wanted to be the matchmaker for the marriage Wang Buli mentioned, and the two parties were too inappropriate for each other.

Even if she is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, it is not something that a commoner family can afford to support.

That's why Tu Jie confirmed it again and again.

For carnivores, politics plays a huge role in marriage. In order to strengthen their own rule, they actively interfere in the marriage and family life of their children.

Emperors usually consider regulating the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world as the three trilogy to consolidate their rule.

Based on the patriarchal family, a feudal hierarchy is implemented in which the family is responsible for the country, the country is responsible for the emperor, and one layer is responsible for the other.

Confirming the authority of parents to rule over their wives and children is precisely to consolidate the absolute authority of the king.

The big sect leads the small sect, the small sect leads the group of brothers, the head of the family leads the whole family, and the princes lead the whole country. They jointly serve the supreme emperor, thus forming a solid rule of the family and the world like stars holding the moon.

Strictly defining the boundaries between concubines and concubines, and implementing the system of heir inheritance and hereditary succession of titles, the purpose is to consolidate the established ruling status and order, and maintain the imperial line of "one line for all generations."

In order to maintain their ruling authority, they took filial piety as the premise and basis of loyalty to the emperor, and regarded "the father as the guide for the son" and "the husband as the guide for the wife" as the guarantee of "the emperor as the guide for the minister."

Confirming the different status and obedience relationships between men and women within the family is consistent with the feudal hierarchy of society, such as noble and poor, good and bad.

These are all to consolidate the imperial throne at the top of the pagoda.

Emperors throughout the ages have done this.

Since the Han Dynasty, there have been certain restrictions on the scope of marriage, the number of marriages, and the age of marriage. Certain standards have been set for marriage etiquette, the amount of betrothal gifts, wedding services, and passenger vehicles.

After the Tang Dynasty, there were countless edicts and edicts issued in the name of the emperor with marriage as its content.

Zhu Yuanzhang is now the strongest meat eater in the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Weiyong is also a carnivore in this system. He naturally uses the resources at hand to interfere in the marriages of people inside and outside his surrounding circle.

The most important thing is that the ruling class clearly understands that marriage and family are the basis of society and the source of exploitation.

The marriage between the two parties is based more on the common interests and is by no means a personal wish.

The marriage between Qi and Lu and between Qin and Jin were all acts of political collusion. They used marriage as a political means for two families to cooperate with each other to expand each other's power.

The high and the low do not marry, the good and the low do not marry, and the well-matched family all serve the strict hierarchical feudal system.

But Hu Weiyong didn't care about this. Anyway, it wasn't because he was marrying his daughter from a bad family.

He clearly knows that everyone is docile to the family, and the family is docile to the country. By taming the family instead of docile the individual, this is his most comfortable way of ruling.

"Hu Xiang."

Wu Wei stood up immediately after seeing Hu Weiyong and the others entering the door. He was quite flattering to Hu Weiyong.

If he doesn't seize the opportunity to hold on to this thigh now, how many more opportunities will he waste in the future?

Unlike when Wang Buli walked in and glanced at Hu Weiyong, he was the result of the Yi tribe. With a glance, Tu Jie's whole family was killed.

He wouldn't rush to curry favor with these two people. He came to the Prime Minister's Mansion now because he couldn't escape.

Hu Weiyong did not take the lead in launching an offensive against Wang Buli, but instead spoke to Wu Wei who got up:

"You have done well in recent times, whether it is criminal justice, taxation, education and other civil affairs, you have done well."

"Subordinate officials don't dare to take credit, it's all within their own scope."

Wu Wei was very excited because he knew that what Hu Xiang said next was the key thing he needed to hear, and it was related to his own future.

“Then you have two choices.

One is to work as a supervisory censor. There are four ways, from deputy envoy, minister, counselor to chief envoy. When the time comes, he can be transferred back to the capital to hold the position of minister or minister.

The only choice left is to become a minister, go to Taipu Temple in the future, or take the path of becoming a minister and participating in politics. "

If Ming officials want to be promoted.

The first official generally has the experience of serving in both the central and local governments. Having served as a central government official, he knows the overall situation. Local officials are closest to the people and can easily understand the people's sentiments.

At the same time, both the central and local governments use it internally and externally to prevent officials from forming cliques for personal gain.

Since ancient times, there has been a tradition that officials in the capital must obey orders.

The second official must have an administrative and supervisory calendar.

After becoming an administrative officer, he moved to the position of censor. For example, Tuiguan, County Magistrate, and Zhongshusheren were promoted to Kedao officials, and they were promoted to Chief Secretary and Councilor based on censorship.

During the Hongwu period, great emphasis was placed on the internal and external balance of officials, in order to prevent them from forming cliques and pursuing excessive selfish interests.

In Wang Buli's opinion, the cake that Prime Minister Hu Weiyong drew for Wu Wei was very big.

Even if he is a sixth-rank official, he will not be able to enter the Sixth Ministry as a minister within three to five years, let alone a minister.

The number of people who wanted to be ministers before him could not be counted on both hands.

Moreover, Lao Zhu would not give Hu Weiyong that long time to develop his own party members wantonly.

All of the Hu Weiyong partisans here have only been alive for a few years!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang established six ministries in the first year of Hongwu, the six ministries had little power and mostly relied on the wishes of the prime minister.

Wu Wei believed that Hu Weiyong could promote him, but it was just a matter of time.

It was Hu Weiyong's words to mobilize the officials down to the next level, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not mentioned at all.

It was not until the thirteenth year of Hongwu, when Hu Weiyong was executed and Zhu Yuanzhang deposed the prime minister, that the six departments were promoted from the original third-rank yamen to the second-rank yamen, becoming the highest-ranking official office.

There is no need for the Prime Minister's office to serve as a bridge between them, as the emperor directly controls them.

But now Wu Wei wants to be transferred, just because of Hu Weiyong's words.

"Prime Minister Hu, but my term has not expired."

Regarding Wu Wei's concerns, Hu Weiyong smiled contemptuously.

Promotion and reassignment of civil servants are generally carried out after performance evaluation after the officials have completed their term of office.

If a state agency is short of staff and the officials being promoted have not completed their term of office and have not yet been evaluated for performance, they must be recommended before being appointed, which is a promotion.

There are two forms of promotion, ting promotion and department promotion.

The objects of promotion are important positions above the third rank and below.

The recommendation is presided over by the Minister of Civil Affairs and decided by the Prime Minister.

Because it was recommended by the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it was also called "hui recommendation".

Recommendation by the Ministry is the recommendation by the authorized staff, targeting internal and external official positions below the fourth rank.

There are generally more lists recommended by the imperial court and the Ministry of Finance than there are actual shortages, especially if the prime minister below the fourth rank decides.

"Even though you say you want to go to the countryside, you should continue to stay in the capital and serve Tian Zui Yi Yu Si."

Tu Jie naturally took over the conversation, which also showed Wang Buli how powerful Hu Weiyong was.

A sixth-grade official can arrange it properly, let alone a clerk like you.

"Xiang Hu, I still want to be an official in the capital and listen to the emperor's teachings all the time."

Wu Wei didn't want to wear shackles and go to other places to serve as an official, because Zhu Yuanzhang was really capable of doing this.

He didn't dare to bet. Although there was great competition in the capital, there were many opportunities!

Wu Wei didn't want to leave easily. Maybe Wang Buli could help him in his official career. But when he went to another place, the sky was high and the road was far away, so this friendship faded away!

"Good good."

Hu Weiyong nodded and saw Wu Wei kneeling on the ground excitedly to salute him.

Hu Weiyong was tired of seeing such a scene of bowing and bowing, but he still said, we are all doing errands for His Majesty, you have to thank His Majesty, not me.

Wu Wei was so moved that he shed two tears. He knew that after leaving the capital, if he wanted to go further in the future, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

There are so many people fawning over Hu Weiyong, when will it be your turn to queue up again?

If you appear in front of your eyes from time to time, you will have more opportunities for promotion.

But at this time, I thanked His Majesty, but His Majesty could not hear it.

You have to behave well in front of Mr. Hu!

Wang Buli looked at Wu Wei's appearance and thought that he was dead, there was no way to save him!

Wu Wei was under inspection and supervision during his daily work. Could it be that he became careless when he came to the Prime Minister's house?

After dealing with Wu Wei's future, Hu Weiyong turned his attention to the final highlight, which was today's main target Wang Buli.

The promotion of Wu Wei was just incidental. He was considered to have benefited from Wang Buli.

"Buli, with your talent, you may be undermining your talents by continuing to serve as a minor official."

Wang Buli doesn't feel that he is inferior to his talents.

It's good to be a minor official.

Safety!

In the Ming Dynasty, civil servants were an important part of the state organization, and their number far exceeded that of officials.

In each government office, officials are in charge of administration and clerks are in charge of affairs.

Many times the officials seemed to be figureheads, with the work being entirely done by clerks, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not have been so dissatisfied with these officials.

Everyone wants to be an official and enjoy the blessings as much as they can, but they won't give us a good job.

This year, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered officials to pass the nine-year exam, which lasted for three years, divided into three stages: first exam, second exam and third exam.

The so-called completion of the examination means that officials must take a professional skills examination after every three years of service.

Those who fail will be dismissed, while those who pass will be transferred to the next level and continue to serve.

After nine years of service, he was qualified to be born and selected for the title.

Beijing officials moved within the capital; foreign officials mainly moved outside.

According to Wang Buli, a sixth-grade yamen official in Beijing, after nine years, he can be appointed as a fifth-grade yamen official and a junior official (equivalent to the status of a scribe under Wang Buli's torture chamber).

"And you have caught the prince's eye again. Your future will be limitless."

Hu Weiyong added: "Buli, you also know that our Ming Dynasty used officials as officials, which is actually the old system of the Yuan Dynasty.

Although the superiors are wary, the officials are still as successful as everyone else.

Zhang Du, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Xu Hui, the Ministry of Revenue, Li Youzhi of the Ministry of Justice, Teng Demao and Xu Xi of the Ministry of War, Li Zhi and Wanqi of the Ministry of Industry, Li Xin and Wang Chun, the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Guanglu Si, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhang Guanglu Si Nai Heng, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Guanglu Temple Wei Neng, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, Liu Min, Wang Zhao, and the left minister of Shaanxi Province, Ping Sizhong, were all promoted by minor officials.

There are also Kuang Zhong, the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, Xiong Shangchu of Quanzhou, and Jia Xin of Xi'an, who are also officials and all have political voices. "

Hu Weiyong picked up a large group of people at random, and then pointed to Tu Jie beside him:

"He is also an official, hahaha."

It can be said that in the early Hongwu Dynasty, many officials were from civil servants.

"Hahaha." Tu Jie also laughed in harmony.

Wang Buli was also confused by Hu Weiyong.

He really didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang hated officials and imposed many restrictions on them, but most of the officials in the six departments under his command were officials.

It’s really an example of being honest!

"Bu Li's official career is much easier than mine. There are so many seniors who have passed through it."

Wu Wei was in a good mood and started to praise Wang Buli a little.

Wang Buli listened to the three men taking turns in battle, his face showing secret joy, but he didn't know how to answer the question.

Seeing this expression, Tu Jie knew he was safe and began to say: "Wang Buli."

"The Prime Minister wants to transfer you to the fifth-grade yamen. In the future, your background will be at the lowest level, ninth-grade."
