I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 437
Unexpectedly, Sima Guang would be the first to recommend an official for promotion, and Fan Zuyu would be the first to recommend promotion.

The current promotions of officials in the country still bear the traces of the previous dynasty to a large extent.

Although the imperial examinations were completely formalized and changed the previous model of relying on benefactors to be officials, the model of recommendation was still retained.

The head of the Zhengshitang can nominate five people every year. Of course, the nominees are all born, and they can only be promoted within the scope of the law.

Because Sima Guang presented "Tong Zhi", Zhao Xi sincerely praised Sima Guang's spirit and ability to focus on history... We can't let "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", the imperial masterpiece, be buried because of himself.

Therefore, Zhao Xi gave Sima Guang all kinds of conveniences in compiling history.

At that time, Sima Guang named Liu Tun and Liu Shu, but did not recommend promotion.

The current Fan Zuyu is the No. 1 recommended by Sima Guang for promotion by borrowing history.

"Fan Zuyu is an orphan. He grew up with his uncle Fan Zhen. Fan Zhen is the current servant of the Ministry of Rites, Fan Jingren."

"Fan Zuyu has a good reputation in Shilin, and he is also the son-in-law of Uncle Lu Hui, a Jinshi in the Jiayou Year."

In-laws everywhere!
Listening to Wang Zhongzheng's report, Zhao Xi was also very helpless.

The court is only so big, there are only so many important officials, and there are also countless scientific examination Jinshi over the years.

It is said that merchants are keen on catching son-in-laws under the national court list, so why not court officials and workers?
It is said that the state government is not the government of the powerful and aristocratic family. Look at these hierarchical courtiers, and the connections are everywhere.

It's just a sigh of relief, what should be accurate is accurate.Don't say that this Fan Zuyu is really good, even if he can't lift up, with Sima Guang's recommendation, Fan Zhen's face, Lu Gong and the Lu family's affection, this Fan Zuyu's promotion is also guaranteed.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Anshi recommended Lu Huiqing to be appointed as Prince Zhongyun by the professor of Guozijian. In fact, for Lu Huiqing, he had the experience of accompanying the king of Dali, and he already had the qualifications for this promotion.

It's just that the ministers of the Zhengshitang all flaunt their own character, and they don't like Lu Huiqing's small actions when he was with Duan Silian in the hall, so no one recommends them.

After Wang Anshi returned to the court, the court was in a hurry due to the scientific examination, and this year was a big year for the rotation of officials.Lu Huiqing's promotion was put on hold until now.

Zhao Xi also looked at Lu Huiqing differently, but he was not close to Zhao Xi, the key was that Zhao Xi intended to leave Lu Huiqing to Wang Anshi.

Therefore, it is only logical to promote Lu Huiqing at this time.

Where are the qualifications and grades, and no one can say anything.

With these two beginnings, recommendations came one after another.

Concise and concise introductions, the comments of the former state capitals and imperial government offices, the time when they passed the Jinshi examination, the results of the examinations over the years, and the achievements they made, are listed one by one.

This is what Zhao Xi saw.

To be honest, Zhao Xi really couldn't understand the basis of these evaluations at this time, after getting used to the evaluation system of later generations.

To put it bluntly, they were all specious conclusions, and even the evaluation indicators made him feel baffled.It is better to say that it is an evaluation than it is to endure the sun and the moon.

Examinations, training, promotion, recommendation, dispatch, etc. seem to be a complete set of procedures, with certain rules and principles, but in Zhao Xi's eyes, there are loopholes everywhere.

The so-called evaluation involves only years of experience, qualifications, background, resume, performance and negligence.However, the focus of performance depends on whether there is civil unrest, the increase or decrease of Dingkou, etc. These are indicators that do nothing and do not change, or cannot be controlled by people.

Then let's talk about recommendation, regardless of the promotion of low-level or middle-level officials, there must be a recommender.Putting it on the table, it is to let the recommender take the responsibility of recommending, but behind it, it is better to say that it is to give the official and noble a good name.

Look at Wang Zhongzheng's report on these recommended officials... Zhao Xi is not just emotional.

Yes, indeed, there is no powerful family in the country, but in Zhao Xi's view, such a twisted relationship is more terrifying than a pure family.

The nephew of the servant's family is the son-in-law of a Hanlin scholar, the daughter of the Fuzun family is the daughter-in-law of the husband, the censor is the in-law of the official department, and the household department and the privy secretary are family friends...

Only royal in-laws are generals and merchants.

It is better to say that the world was kidnapped by scholar-bureaucrats than sharing the world with scholar-bureaucrats.

Suppressing martial arts and promoting literature... This frankly means that the entire relationship between the scholar-bureaucrats has been organized to fight against the imperial power and the army.

The aristocratic family and the king share the world, anyway, in terms of interests, most of the time they are a whole.

And what would such an architecture look like?Except for fighting against the imperial power and the army, at other times, the entire court is just one word: chaos!

Each family has its own interests and demands, and each family has its own relationship with each other. It is so chaotic that it draws on, dismantles, opposes, and unites with each other!

Zhao Xi is very thankful for what he did when he was young, at least he tied the old Liu family firmly.

Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to face such a court.

Very upset, Zhao Xi is very upset.Even though it is clear that this is reality, I feel uncomfortable.

This situation... even in future generations, it is difficult to avoid, or it is commonplace.

Back then, in his county, ministries, commissions, bureaus, and towns, there were more in-law relationships, and more people were connected to relatives around the corner.

In later generations, Zhao Xi had heard that [-]% of the heads of state in the West were descendants of the twenty or so noble families earlier.

How should I put it, it's not that the right family is a wise saying, but the circles are really different.

A daughter of a butcher, you can't force her to marry a barefoot man, can you?Even merchants, in the eyes of the butcher, are also pigs that can be slaughtered at any time.

The so-called poor and precious son... Who are you kidding?There is no surplus food in the family, who dares to raise a few young children, who can read books except for eating and sleeping?
Not to mention Shu You, who is studying, and the expenses of studying abroad.

It should be a common phenomenon to teach by precept and deed, what kind of family produces what kind of talents.With a Jinshi in the family, and realizing the benefits of being an official, they will naturally make great efforts to let the children of the whole family continue to work hard on their way to school.

This also has a story of a few Jinshi.

In today's national dynasty, except for the Han family, Lu family, Wang family, and Fan family, which have been farming and studying for hundreds of years.Like the Zeng family in Nanfeng, the Zhang family in Jianning, Fujian, the Li family in Nankang, including Su Shi's family in Shu, Wang Anshi's family in Jiangxi, Lu Dafang's family in Lantian, etc., which one is not a few Jinshi?

No matter how many eugenics these families had, a large group of sons and daughters and nephews, and no matter how many in-laws were involved, it was impossible to break up these relationships in the court.

Of course, it is not denied that there are poor and noble sons, but that is just adding another family to connect with in-laws.

Similarly, it is not a family without decline and sinking, such as Kou Xianggong, such as Yan Shu's family, who obviously have no successors.

Sigh... Zhao Xi was prepared for these things, which is why he didn't kill this or that recklessly.

Although the literati of the country also seek profit, they still abide by some virtues on the surface.

If the guillotine is really raised, I am afraid that it is really possible to vacate the court.

In this era, the family state is not higher than the family. More scholars, including military commanders, believe from the bottom of their hearts that family inheritance is more important than the court.

There are families with thousands of years, but no dynasties with thousands of years.No matter how the dynasty changes, it is inseparable from the ministers and workers who govern the court...

I'm really upset!
Fortunately, the original guard battalion and the current lecture hall are where Zhao Xi rooted his family and country philosophy. I hope it will be effective in the end.
