Everyone was aghast.
Although the improvement of the system was indeed coordinated by the Emperor, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, and other departments, why did it happen today?
And why didn't they hear anything about it before?
What did it mean?
Could it be that this was one of the Emperor's methods after he decided to take sides against the locust plague?
Everyone was smart enough to know something. They had thought about the reform a long time ago, but they didn't expect it to happen today!
"Du Ruhui, tell us about the relevant system. After all, it was you and Zhangsun who made the decision together!"
"Yes."
Zhangsun was confused.
"What does it have to do with me?"
But it was obvious that the Emperor was dragging him down, so he could only bow his hands and say yes.
Then, Zhangsun Wuji spoke first, "Your Majesty, although the system in the imperial court has always been perfect, this old official feels that there are still many flaws in it. Therefore, this old official worked with the Ministry of Personnel to perfect it. Official Du, please come and explain the relevant situation on behalf of the Emperor and the other officials!"
Zhangsun Wuji kicked the problem to Du Ruhui again.
Du Ruhui leisurely took out a memorial from his bosom and said, "In view of the fact that there are many idle positions in the treasury of Chang 'an City and other affairs, or many of them are directly related to each other but no one is in charge of them. At this time, the Tang Empire is just starting to develop in all aspects. Therefore, His Majesty has discussed this matter with me and others and deliberated about it!"
"First, there are too many idle positions, which leads to delays in the daily affairs of the government in various departments, especially in the case of the Chang 'an Local Treasury last time. It was a small matter, but it delayed for half a year. What if it was in other places?"
"So, in order to improve the system in the court, we made a series of system updates!"
"Second, there are many things waiting to be done in the Tang Dynasty. Look at the Emperor's boots, they are all sewn by Empress Zhangsun. Why?"
"Does the Emperor lack money for a pair of boots? No! He was trying to save money! Moreover, the amount of money spent every month on idle jobs in the imperial court is thousands of strings of cash. If this kind of practice continues and everyone is like this, then who will carry out the government affairs? "
"That's why I, the Emperor, and Lord Zhangsun, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, worked together to update the court system!"
After saying that.
Only then did Du Ruhui recite the reward and punishment system that he had previously set up in the imperial court.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
No one was a fool.
This was definitely something Du Ruhui would do!
But what was the meaning of this Du Ruhui?
Do you think everyone is too idle right now?
Wasn't this forcing them to their deaths?
Everyone was shocked.
But when she took a closer look, the Emperor was indeed wearing the shoes sewn by Empress Zhangsun. Even the dragon robe on his body showed signs of being mended. How could this be fake?
At this time, if anyone dared to say no, they would be punished.
Then, if the Emperor took off the mending on his clothes, who would say anything?
Although everyone was dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say anything now!
This was a typical case of giving a sweet date and then giving a heavy blow.
Who dared to say anything?
Li Shimin carefully observed everyone's expressions and then said slowly, "I know that once new things are introduced, many people will definitely feel that it is not good. Today, in the imperial court, if we feel that something is not good, we will solve it in court, okay?"
"If anyone has a different opinion, you can raise it!"
But.
Who dared to say anything?
At this time, even if they were dissatisfied, they would have to wait until later!
But at this time.
However, Wei Zheng spoke up.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask!"
"Speak!"
"Your Majesty, I am slow-witted. I don't know what the reward and punishment system means."
Li Shimin touched his chin and said, "Mr. Du, tell Prime Minister Wei!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Prime Minister Wei, to put it bluntly, this is no different from the previous system. However, just like how we handle government affairs every day, if everyone registers their names as if they are attending morning court, then it will be clear at a glance who is here and who is not. Moreover, after being sent back to the Supreme Court for sorting, it will become a record."
"The advantage of this is that Your Majesty will know at any time who is on duty, what they are doing, who is not coming, and what they are doing. In this way, it can ensure that every order from Your Majesty will be delivered to the officials on time!"
With several people echoing each other, everyone finally understood.
This thing was actually a test!
Although the Emperor added rewards and punishments, if one did not show up for duty without a reason, he would be fined one month of salary. If it was the fourth time, he would be directly demoted by one rank. Wasn't this too strict?
But what about the rewards?
If one signed in every month, he would get an extra half a month of salary. What the hell was this?
If one could be on duty every month, he would get bonus points on his political achievements. If there was a fat job, he would be given priority. What the hell was this?
Wasn't this too much of a scam?
At this time, everyone only felt the pressure. If they were to be like before, they would go drinking after a fight. Those days were gone forever!
Now, in everyone's position, who didn't have bloodshot eyes?
Once such a thing happened, the fine was a small matter. Losing their job was the real deal!
Especially if there was a fat job!
Where would this fat job come from?
Wasn't it the position of everyone?
Didn't this mean that now everyone's buttocks were sitting on the edge of a knife? Once they didn't pay attention, they would be finished?
Everyone cried in their hearts.
But who dared to say anything?
They could only grit their teeth and accept it.
