The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1793 Performance Assessment
"Well, what you said is reasonable, so let's do what you said. I hope they won't disappoint me. By the way, there is no need to issue an ordinary imperial decree. Otherwise, I don't know what year it will be?"

What Zhao Kuangyin wrote was also right. The journey is far away, and we don’t know what will happen on the way. If the person delivering the decree encounters any danger on the way, it may not be able to be delivered to Fusang Zhao Xu. It's delivered, don't even think about it if it's not ten and a half months, this is still a normal situation, there is no storm or the like, if there is a storm, it will be finished, and it will take time to escape, and Zhao Kuangyin The pursuit is timeliness.

"Shen Falcon, isn't there a Sacred Falcon? Now that Sacred Falcon hasn't returned yet, let's use this to bring the imperial decree back. There is only one purpose and that is to get the prince back to Beijing as soon as possible. I still have a lot of things to do here. The prince will come back to confirm."

Zhao Kuangyin is also ingenious, the imperial decree can be carried by Shen Falcon, I am afraid that he is the only emperor who passes the decree, Miao Xun didn't say that the emperor can do whatever he wants, and he can't go against it sometimes. Just do your job well.

"By the way, how can the assessment of the Ministry of Officials be done this time? For those who failed the performance assessment, they will be demoted, and those who are excellent in the assessment will be promoted. However, this assessment is not the only criterion. The assessment procedures must be strict. There must be no favoritism and fraud, otherwise what is the point of the assessment?"

It's almost the end of the year again, and it's time for the three-year assessment in the Song Dynasty. These assessments have already been carried out in normal times, but the usual ones are used as a reference, and the three-yearly assessment is the criterion for determining your promotion.

To be honest, the assessment of Song Dynasty is a bit troublesome. Not only is there an assessment on the surface, but also there is an assessment in the dark. This is not official, but it can leave an impression in Zhao Kuangyin's mind, and how will it affect the promotion of officials.

In fact, this is also true, think about it, if you do something disgraceful but let the emperor know, then you will leave a bad impression in the emperor's heart, and your official career will basically be hopeless. Even if there is a possibility of promotion, if you don't like the emperor, your colleagues will slowly squeeze you out. This is all possible.

However, this secret method is not visible, and it is the emperor's instigation. Those ministers can't say anything if they know it.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the people we sent to various places have returned one after another. This time they spent half a year checking the morals of officials from all over the place. These people are all newly trained by us. There is nothing to do with it, it is very reliable, and there will be no phenomenon of favoritism by law enforcement officers."

These were all done by Miao Xun in secret. As a prime minister, it is indeed good to be able to communicate with Zhao Kuangyin to this extent. He can be allowed to do such secret things, which shows how much Zhao Kuangyin trusts him.

"Well, I'm just worried that the things we got were tampered with by our people. These wrong things will mislead us. It is absolutely impossible for all this first-hand information to be wrong."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is currently busy with the assessment in his government office. Recently, he is the busiest minister of the Ministry of Officials. This Minister of the Ministry of Officials was single-handedly picked up by Zhao Pu. He is about the same age as Zhao Pu, but he respects Zhao Pu as his mentor.

It seems that some people can do anything to become an official. As the saying goes, one day is a teacher and a lifelong father. Calling someone who is about the same age as your father is not for your official position after all.

"My lord, these officials are all excellent in the assessment. Can you see if there is any problem?" The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent a list. There are dozens of people on it who have written that the assessment is excellent. He knew almost all of them, because these people were Zhao Pu's disciples just like him. This time, so many people were to be promoted because they were all related to Zhao Pu, and he was also under a little pressure as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Why do you have any questions, my lord? The people here were all arranged by Mr. Zhao before he left, and their official style is still good. Do you think you should directly report the list to the imperial court?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is actually Zhao Pu's protégé. Zhao Pu, who has been the prime minister for so many years, has protégés and former officials all over the court and the public. It is not an exaggeration to say that.

Although the imperial court has a purple appointment system, you must understand that no matter how strict the personnel system is, someone must implement it, and someone must recommend it. As a prime minister, you naturally have the power to recommend it to the emperor. people.

Sometimes the emperor really buys this face, which is unavoidable in all dynasties, so as long as you hold important power in the court, you will still have influence even after you retire, don't even think about it at all, that is His protégés and old officials are having an impact.

"Since Mr. Zhao has also ordered, and their political achievements do exist, let's handle it like this. Anyway, we also follow the rules and regulations, so let's report it to the court. They will be our colleagues in the future. Let's take a good look at them. If they are from the same family, then send them a letter and ask them to do a better job recently, so as to avoid any troubles in the future and disappoint Mr. Zhao’s good intentions. This is not good, so hurry up and arrange it. By the way, I have to send a letter to Mr. Zhao, and the old man will subsidize him in the north until he really comes back."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials came home every day, and there were people who gave gifts, because he was about to be transferred. This Minister of the Ministry of Officials was the object of everyone's fawning.

"The official is back, and we have a guest at our house. Although I don't know him, I can see that his temperament is not ordinary, so I arranged for him to go to your usual meeting place."

"Well, let me go and have a look. By the way, don't accept gifts from someone recently. Now is a critical period. Don't let people catch you. Otherwise, there will be real sleep problems, or I will also be trapped. Don't look at me as a minister of officials, but my official hat is still held in His Majesty's hands, you must pay attention, otherwise we will not know how we died."

Although Li Cunzhong was more cautious when he became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he never wanted anyone who received gifts.
