Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 377 Ask Chen to be the prefect?
"After today's grand ceremony, all the clans were in awe, saying that the great Han Dynasty deserves to be the central kingdom. Therefore, the four barbarians surrendered and did not dare to think of others again. This was all the result of Chen Taile. Taile regarded Taichang as an official and coordinated the two tribes. Important personnel, coordination and mobilization are all excellent, this is the ability of overall planning;"

"I also heard that when all the tribes came, their arrangements and guidance were all organized and established by Tai Le. Compared with the past, I don't know how much better it was. In the past, there were foreign ministers courting the emperor, and there were sometimes confusions. There were often mistakes and omissions in the places where they were placed. , or wrongly placed an object, or misplaced the superiority of a person, all of which do not understand the customs of other tribes. However, the chapter written by Chen Taile not only has arrangements, but also states the likes and dislikes of each tribe, respects its customs and involves its customs. Therefore, All tribes have returned to their hearts, this is the view of Tai Le and extensive knowledge;"

"There is also the matter of the Honglu Collection. In the past, if we searched for something, it would take three to five days, or one or two months, and mobilize dozens of people. It can be described as cumbersome. Now Taile has collected and sorted it, and listed it in a list, and checked one thing. It only takes one or two people, and it takes no more than half a day to make it clear, and this is Chen Taile's ability to be good at reasoning;"

"Furthermore, the Taiyue Department under the command of Taiyue Ling has never accomplished anything. Now that Taile's order is issued, all the academies follow it and do not dare to disobey it. I have heard that a few people in Ruoshui Academy are disrespectful. According to the rules and regulations, Tai Le then said that if he did not return, his status would be abolished. Everyone was afraid and retreated. This is the ability of an agent."

"Not to mention the widespread literary criticism in Luoyang City, which has attracted thousands of people and no one knows about it. Its popularity is also surprising. Its arrangement is wonderful and original. It has attracted the talents of the city to comment and the elite of the country to follow. In this way, the people will be praised, the disputes in the academy will be reduced, and after thinking about it, everything will be achieved, this is the power of creation!"

When Huang Si spoke, his expression was solemn, and he recounted one thing after another. At first, some of the officials didn't take it seriously, but when he talked about it later, they couldn't help but become serious.

It turns out that Chen Zhi had already done so many things without knowing it?

Huang Si's words continued: "Like Chen Taile, who has the ability to coordinate governance, has extensive knowledge, has the ability to summarize, has the ability to act, and has a pioneering spirit. He can also stand up when foreigners are arrogant. However, those who maintain the majesty of the imperial court are the talents of the country, how can we not use them? Therefore, I invite you to take Taile as the governor of this place to benefit the whole country and live up to his abilities!"

When he said this, he raised the wat board above his head and spoke towards the emperor who was above him.

Liu Dai looked majestic. Although two days had passed, he seemed to have not recovered from the solemn sacrifice. However, his eyebrows were already lively. After listening to Huang Si's words, his heart was quite moved, and he was even more surprised. Chen Zhi’s contribution.

"It turns out that Chen Zhi has already done this. He is really a capable minister. I have such a good eye. I immediately took a fancy to Chen Zhi and made him an official. According to my father, what is his name? Yes. Come on, please don’t call Ye Youyouxiang! This Huang Si is also a loyal man, he knows not to let the meritorious people be buried. Yes, this person is good, but I have to wait for other important ministers to speak before I can express my position, and today the court will meet , when it’s time to discuss the matter of the Huns, if I start and others want to talk too much, I’d better let them talk.”

Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and glanced at the faces of the ministers.

The ministers had different expressions, and most of them were thinking.

The position of prefect is at least the fifth rank, and it holds real power. For ordinary top families and the children of nobles, it is better to be the prefect in the local area than to be the seventh rank in the capital, because there is no worry about not being promoted, but for the middle and lower ranks, or even poor families For the children of the herdsmen, such a powerful official position, on the part of the herdsmen, can display their ambitions, achieve clear political achievements, and can turn their thoughts into reality, influence the whole place, and even bequeath to future generations. It is undoubtedly an ideal stage for display. , more conducive to promotion!
After all, middle- and lower-level officials do not have the backing to constantly promote them. Without tangible political achievements, they are like rootsless trees in the officialdom and cannot stand at all.

For example, Xu Hui, the prefect of Pengcheng, was not from a poor family, but his family background was average. The reason why he was so fond of Chen Zhi was because Chen Zhi's "Shi Shuo" gave him the power of education, and the Qu Yuanli and other things also made him Xu Hui's political achievement of encouraging farmers to teach farmers and mulberry trees is the basis for promotion!Of course he would be polite!

In fact, for many children from poor families, the position of governor of this place or the governor of a large county is likely to be the end of their officialdom!

As soon as Huang Si opened his mouth, he said that Chen Zhi should be the governor. It was not that he was kicked out of the center. It could be regarded as a promotion. The key was whether Chen Zhi was qualified?Does he really have so many merits and achievements?
When the ministers thought about it carefully, they found that Huang Si's words were actually correct, and there were no exaggerations. On the contrary, there were some things that he did not say enough. In other words, he said too little.

Thinking of this, everyone was shocked. After all, Chen Zhi was so famous now. None of them knew about it. Because of this, they also knew very well that from when Chen Zhi entered Luoyang to when he officially took office, it took less than two months. In a few months, he was asked to do so many things, and he could draw up a list when talking about his achievements. Such an ability may not be possible even for those who are high-ranking ministers in the court.

After thinking about it, everyone was amazed and couldn't help but look towards the servant Chen Yong, only to see the old man stroking his beard. There was no sign of happiness or anger, as if the person being praised was not his descendant.

What was this old man thinking? Huang Si came forward to commend Chen Zhi. Was it his instruction?Isn't this a bit unruly?
As an official, you have various rules, some are on the surface and on paper, and some are in private and in your heart. The latter are also unspoken rules.

In the eyes of many people, Chen Zhi is very capable and has done many things. He is indeed worthy of praise and rewards, but it is inappropriate to bring it up rashly in court.

First, Chen Zhi's age and qualifications are a problem.

It was already a bit out of the ordinary for Chen Zhi to be Tai Leling. You must know that before that, he had never been an official, nor did he come from a filial or honest background. He was not a child of an aristocratic family in the capital or the capital, nor was he one of the top of aristocratic family origin.It stands to reason that such a person would not have had the chance to gain a central authority after becoming an official. Chen Zhi's rise to the position was actually the result of a meeting and compromise between all parties. Now making meritorious service can be regarded as making up for the owed qualifications. It’s time to be silent and low-key to gain momentum.Secondly, it is a matter of order.

Chen Zhi has a lot of credit, but there is a responsibility system in officialdom. No matter how capable Chen Zhi is, the credit cannot fall directly on you. You should go through the process first with your superiors according to personnel arrangements. It doesn’t matter if the ceremony goes well. , the layout of Honglu Temple, one must first praise the Nine Ministers and ask the two ministers for their opinions before settling on Chen Zhi, because the authority of authority depends to a large extent on the power of personnel appointment.

Thirdly, it’s just a matter of time.

It has been one month since Chen Zhi took office, and his position has not yet been filled. How can he be promoted immediately?What do onlookers think?Maybe other people's political achievements are not as good as Chen Zhi's, but they must also follow the cycle. After the evaluation, they will be promoted and demoted. Each has its own place. It cannot be special because it involves system construction and what is important is stability. Otherwise, you will be promoted today, and others will be promoted tomorrow. In the end, won’t it become a vegetable market, and there will be no majesty at all?

Fourthly, Tai Leling is at the seventh rank of the central government, and jumps directly to the fifth rank of the local government. Jumping from the central government to the local government is not actually a rash advance, but your time as an official, Chen Zhi, is too short.

Two months before and after, he directly became the prefect. Even in the war years, few people were so fast. When Emperor Zhaolie got the baby, he first sent it to the county for inspection. Now that the laws are strict and the official system is perfect, there is no such thing. It makes sense, and the prefect is considered the top leader, managing all parties in civil affairs. In some places, such as border areas, he can also interfere in military affairs. It is a position that is directly responsible for the superiors. What is needed is real ability to manage politics, which is comparable to Taile Department. The ones to do are much more complicated.

Chen Zhi has a lot of credit now, but it is far from managing a county. The safest way is to be a deputy first, or simply go to a county as a magistrate or chief to practice his skills and become familiar with them to prevent trouble, otherwise It is not good for the local government or Chen Zhi himself.

In addition to these four points, there are many problems, but they are all trivial and not taken seriously by the officials present. After they thought of these four points, they frowned and wondered whether Chen Yong, the servant of the emperor, wanted to He was too eager to think about improving his family's power and promoting his grandsons, to the point of breaking the rules, so he traced back to the source, recalled Huang Si's actions, and thought about what benefits he got from the Chen family.

But thinking about it, many people who knew the inside story were shocked, because they suddenly thought that this Huang Si did not seem to be from Chen Yong's family, but...

Suddenly, many people looked at Huang Si's expression of being loyal to the country and could not bear to be buried by those who had made great contributions. They felt weird when they thought of his eloquent remarks, saying that Chen Zhi praised everything in the sky and nothing on the earth.

There might be some conspiracy going on inside. Could it be that Chen Zhi is being roasted on the fire?I just don’t know if the emperor will agree.

Thinking of the current emperor's style and his rumored appreciation for Chen Zhi, the ministers felt that the emperor was very likely to agree to this appointment, and it was really hard to predict what would happen next.

Logically speaking, in the court, a reward from a seventh-grade official should not have been brought up in such a serious manner, but thinking about the people behind Huang Si and the people behind Chen Zhi, who are vaguely involved in the disputes among the ministers, In order not to get involved, the ministers had no choice but to keep silent.

Of course, they knew very well that someone would stop Huang Si's proposal, at least the servant Chen Yong would not let it go.

But to everyone's surprise, the first person to come forward to oppose was not Chen Yong, but... Da Sinong Yang Jie.

"I feel this is inappropriate."

Yang Jie was majestic and had a loud voice. As soon as he stood up, he suppressed the rest of the voice.

"Chen Taile has meritorious deeds, but the imperial court has its own rules and cannot do anything arbitrarily. The husband is fragrant and crispy, the wine is rich and the meat is fat, the taste is sweet and the body is sick; the teeth are neat and white, and talking about love damages the essence. Therefore, if you lose the Tai, the body will be damaged. It’s harmless. It’s about measuring the upper part to cut off the lower part. Therefore, the establishment of measuring is the treasure of the Lord!”
