The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1143

[1143. Chapter 1092 Private Visit on WeChat]

Zhu Houzhao is a military genius.

Fang Jifan made no secret of this point.

In his philosophy of life, no one in this world is a loser, and even a piece of X is valuable.

Not to mention, His Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhu Houzhao was obviously dissatisfied with Professor Fang Jifan’s method.

When it comes to military affairs, Zhu Houzhao has always been unconvinced by the other party’s succession.

But just because a person is good at fighting does not mean that he can cultivate talents.

Therefore, Fang Jifan just smiled at Zhu Houzhao’s dissatisfaction.

How about it, if you are not convinced, I am their mentor, I can teach them how I want, you care about me?

Zhu Houzhao clasped his hands behind his back and huffed angrily. He seemed to know that he could not make the decision in this matter. He couldn’t help but sigh: “It’s a pity that I have such a smart son. It’s a pity. He could also be a little champion.” Of…”

a sigh.

Wang Jinyuan hurried over: “His Royal Highness, Young Master, Liu Jin… Liu Jin wants to see you.”

Liu Jin…

Zhu Houzhao subconsciously said: “Who is Liu Jin?”

Fang Jifan was also a little confused.

After scratching his head for a long time, he suddenly realized: “Oh, it’s this grandson.”

Zhu Houzhao also thought about it: “He is back, isn’t he in Dingxing County? Why, he is still absent without permission?”

Fang Jifan said: “Call first. Come on.”

After a moment, Liu Jin came panting.

He had gained a lot of weight and his face was so shiny that it was impossible to recognize him without looking carefully.

As soon as he saw Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, he bowed his head and said: “I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, and my grandson has met the godfather.”

Zhu Houzhao raised his feet and looked at the beam: “You bitch, you are so fat. From now on, you will be so fat.” Are you here to serve me, or am I here to serve you?”

Liu Jin was about to cry: “Slave…”

Fang Jifan pressed his hands, he should be happy to see his grandson gaining weight.

The mood of being a grandpa is different from that of being a master. A master is picky about his slaves, but being a grandpa is different.

Fang Jifan said politely to Yan Yue, “Why did you come back in such a hurry?”

“There is a big event. A few days ago, Wu Kuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, went to various prefectures in the capital to inspect the capital. The slaves felt something was fishy and sent people to inquire carefully. Only then did they know… this The second Beijing inspection is unfair. “

The Beijing inspection… is a big deal.

Generally, the Ministry of Personnel is responsible for this, and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel takes the lead in conducting evaluations on officials in Beijing.

When Emperor Hongwu Gao was here, it was stipulated that the exam should be taken every three years, but later it was changed to every ten years. When Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he seemed to feel that the test every ten years was too long, so he decided to hold it every six years.

These six-year Beijing inspections are of great importance. The Beijing inspections are divided into four grids and eight methods to evaluate an official’s ethics, politics, talents, and years. From ethics to ability, to talent and age, there is no one. Not included in the inspection. Each of their scores is divided into three categories: competence, diligence, and service to evaluate the quality of officials.

Zhu Houzhao had no interest at all in the Beijing inspection and felt that Liu Jin was making a fuss out of a molehill.

But Fang Jifan took it very seriously.

The relationship between Beijing and the police is very important, and it is directly related to the evaluation of an official: “Ouyang Zhi, how are the four qualities?”

Liu Jin said: “Ouyang Zhi, whether it is conduct, age, ability and talent, are all excellent and listed as competent.

Fang Jifan was relieved and couldn’t help but said with joy: “That’s right. Fang Jifan still doesn’t believe it. The officials have such courage and dare to wear small shoes for Ouyang Zhi. They can’t kill them. “

Obviously

, this is the best. evaluate.

But then…Liu Jin fell in love with each other.

Fang Jifan asked: “Go on, it’s just…it’s just…the county magistrates in the counties under Baoding Prefecture all have poor evaluations. For example, the magistrate of Boye County has four positions: service…

service…

this job is Ranked third.

Although being ranked at the bottom is called “serving”, it is a shameful way of saying that it generally means that this person is not talented, his character is average, and his management ability is very poor. To put it more simply, this person , He is just a mediocre official.

He may be dismissed directly.

“Among the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Baoding Prefecture, there are seven people who are classified as low-level officials, and one person is just a diligent official. Liu Jin said angrily: “But looking at Tongzhou, it’s different. Tongzhou only governs four counties, but these four counties are all first-class ‘competent’, and they are worthy of praise among the prefectures in the capital.”

“The slaves are thinking, isn’t this something the officials did on purpose? Even though they listed Prefect Ouyang as a first-class competent person, in fact, they completely denied the achievements of the New Deal in Baoding Prefecture. On the contrary, Tongzhou Prefecture… … was rated as excellent. The official evaluation of Tongzhou is that the county is well-governed, the people do not pick up things on the road, and do not close their homes at night. It is the best place in the capital.

” , is it Yang Yiqing’s credit, and has nothing to do with the godfather and the magistrate Ouyang? The grandson thought that the officials were too evil, so he thought about it and came to tell the godfather that this matter cannot be left alone.”

Fang Jifan suddenly thought, The meaningful expression on Emperor Hongzhi’s face when he mentioned Baoding Mansion clearly indicated that his Majesty had already read the report from the Ministry of Personnel.

Fang Jifan was so angry that he vomited blood: “That bitch Wu Kuan is so evil.”

Zhu Houzhao said hurriedly: “Calm down, calm down, it’s just a Beijing inspection. My father may not believe it.”

Liu Jin kowtowed: “This… is really possible to believe.”

“What?” Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin, confused. untie.

Liu Jin said: “His Royal Highness, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are not saying good things about Yang Yiqing. Your Majesty may not believe it at first, but everyone speaks loudly. Everyone says that Tongzhou is a paradise in the world. It is impossible to believe it or not. Furthermore, Wu Kuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who is in charge of the capital inspection, was a lecturer in the Eastern Palace when His Majesty was the crown prince. He taught the scriptures to His Majesty. His Majesty has always admired him for being a gentle man with two sleeves. , he is an upright gentleman, and Wu Kuan really has an excellent official reputation in the court, and he has never made any mistakes. The servants also heard that among the officials, Wu Kuan is the only one who has not bought a house in the new city. He is really poor, and his family My wife is wearing coarse clothes. Your Majesty heard about this situation last year and particularly praised him.”

“Your Highness, sir, do you think that your Majesty would not believe what he said? The results of the second capital inspection? I’m afraid it won’t be long before the official merit examination books are released. Soon, many officials in Baoding Prefecture will be dismissed. Their evaluations are really too poor.”

Fang Jifan thought .

Furious.

If it’s a corrupt official, that’s fine. After all, this kind of person does little harm. Even if he tells the truth, no one will believe him.

But Wu Kuan, the so-called pure man, the so-called gentleman, is the most speechless. Because of his reputation of “integrity” and “corruption”, everyone has no doubts about him. But such a person obviously has his own values, and his personal likes and dislikes can make a group of people suffer because of him.

Obviously, Wu Kuan, who was a member of the Qing Dynasty, looked down upon the officials promoted by Ouyang Zhi. These officials who had been promoted from junior positions had always been discriminated against by officials in the court. It was precisely because of this atmosphere of discrimination, coupled with the The worry among the scholars that petty officials could become officials made these so-called “clean streamers” more stubborn to use their own prejudices to attack these “others” in the officialdom.

Fang Jifan suddenly said: “Check to see if Wu owes money to Xishan Bank and urge him to repay the loan.”

“Checked.” Liu Jin said: “Master, didn’t I just say that he didn’t buy a house? He can’t even afford a car.”

Fang Jifan was speechless for a moment: “Then he must have a son. Doesn’t his son have the habit of peeking into people’s baths?”

Liu Jin said in a dumbfounded voice: “He has no sons, only two daughters. Married.”

Zhu Houzhao slapped the table and said, “Just beat him for any excuse. Why is he so verbose? This man is really annoying. I have a lot of work in Baoding Mansion.”

Liu Jin was busy. Said: “His Royal Highness, you can’t beat him. This person… can be regarded as one of His Majesty’s eight masters, and he is also the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. His reputation is too high. If he could be beaten, I would have asked someone to drag him away. Go to the City God’s Temple and beat the crap out of him.”

Fang Jifan looked very calm and couldn’t help but said, “Poor Ouyang Zhi…”

“What?” Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin both looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan sighed with emotion: “If he knew the result of the Beijing investigation, he would have been extremely wronged. Among so many disciples, I value him the most. He worked so hard in Baoding Mansion and forgot to eat and sleep. Who knew that he would not be tolerated by others… He Damn it!”

Fang Jifan stamped his feet: “Your Majesty, take care of this guy and go beat him tomorrow.”

“Oh.” Zhu Houzhao nodded sharply: “You’re not going?”

Fang Jifan said: “I…I…I. You must remain useful.”

Zhu Houzhao: “…”

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao became a little scared and muttered: “It’s me every time, or I’ll find someone who can kill me with a thousand swords.”

As he said…

Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin…

Liu Jin shivered and said tremblingly: “Slave…Slave, you can’t do that. I have to stay useful. I respect His Highness the Crown Prince and serve my godfather. I’m too fat. I can’t win.”

But Fang Jifan became calm and relaxed again: “Who said we must fight? Seeing is the truth… Wherever Baoding Prefecture and Tongzhou have good political performance, I only need to ask His Majesty to come and know everything, right?

“

“

So…” Fang Jifan said: “As long as His Majesty is allowed to leave the palace, this grievance can be cleared, but… we cannot leave the palace with a big fanfare. If it is a big fanfare, the local officials will have made preparations in advance. Only incognito private visits can be done.” But, but…how to let your majesty pay a private visit?”

Zhu Houzhao squinted: “I tricked my great-grandmother into coming out?”

Fang Jifan: “…”

“Can there be another way?”

Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and thought for a long time: ” Kidnapped the queen?”
