Chapter 460 459 Assessment

"To be honest, Xuanfu is the gateway to the northwest of the capital, and His Highness is very concerned about Xuanfu."

Speaking of this, Wei Guangde seemed to find himself speechless and hurriedly said: "Students are frightened, these are official duties that should be concerned by adults."

"Does Your Highness also have a candidate for the deputy general of the Xuanfu?"

Yang Bo did frown slightly and asked.

In fact, after the Ministry of War promoted Ma Fang to the throne, the Ministry of War decided to take over the position of deputy general after many comments from the Wuxuan Department. But now, it seems that Prince Yu's Mansion is determined to win this position, which really makes Yang Bo a little embarrassed.

He didn't know that the so-called person that King Yu valued was actually the general that he Wei Guangde valued.

But obviously, King Yu should have known about this, otherwise there would not have been a eunuch present to say this.

Wei Guangde was not worried that King Yu would know about this.

Feng Bao, if Yang Bo had to let him go when he was in the Silijian before, but now Feng Bao was sent to Prince Yu's Mansion for committing crimes in the palace, he would naturally not pay much attention to him.

So, throughout the whole process today, he talked to Wei Guangde and didn't look at Feng Bao at all.

"Dong Yikui, the general of Xuanfu, has been guarding the East Road of Xuanfu for many years, and has been unable to make enough achievements, but after all, he has worked hard, let alone a hero."

Wei Guangde pointed out his promising general name, and Yang Bo naturally knew who he was talking about at once.

"Dong Yikui, I had contact with him when I was in Xuanfu, so I am a person who can do things."

Yang Bo nodded as soon as hesitated and said, "However, there is much discussion within the Ministry of War for the position of Deputy General of Xuanfu this time."

When Wei Guangde heard this, he knew that Dong Yikui's success was a little late. The Ministry of War had a plan to force him to take over. Not to mention him, even King Yu would not have such a great face.

Although it was a pity, Wei Guangde didn't take it much.

After working hard, I just need to write to Dong Yiyuan and explain the situation.

Since Dong Yikui is willing to get closer, there will be a vacancy in the border town next time, I am afraid that he will not be promoted.

However, as Yang Bo's statement was made, Wei Guangde was secretly shocked.

It turned out that although the position of deputy general of Xuanfu was adjusted this time, it was actually a link in the imperial court's control over the generals of the border town. That is, in addition to the generals of the Jiubian Army, most of them would have adjusted once.

Although many generals who have accumulated merits cannot be promoted, they can be transferred from the second-level military town to the higher-level military town. Sometimes they will be promoted when they reach the scattered level, which can be considered promotion.

With Yang Bo's words, Wei Guangde naturally had no idea what to say.

The Ministry of War has already made plans. Although it has not yet been formed from Yang Bo's mouth, the general direction has been set, so it is naturally inconvenient to continue intervening, because in the end, Yang Bo will invite the emperor to read it in the form of a secret report.

"In fact, Ma Fang's position was originally scheduled to be transferred to Ji Town as the deputy general."

After saying that, Yang Boju looked at Wei Guangde and said.

At first, Wei Guangde passed this matter to the Ministry of War and wanted to transfer Ma Fang to Ji Town.

However, compared with Jizhen, Xuanfu faces a greater threat to the Tartars, so the Ministry of War has not agreed, but it also plans to consider it when changing positions.

"It's because"

Wei Guangde only said three words, but his finger pointed to it.

Yang Bo nodded slightly.

Wei Guangde understood that last time Ma Fang was upgraded without rewarding property. It seemed that Emperor Jiajing had already signaled the matter to the Ministry of War at that time.

"I remember the matter of Dong Yikui. If I have the chance, I will mention his name."

In the end, Yang Bo said so.

I have already revealed enough to Wei Guangde, and it is not good to continue talking.

Wei Guangde also knew what he wanted to know, so he naturally couldn't continue to stay for a long time, so he stood up and said goodbye, and took Feng Bao out of the Yang Mansion.

"Eunuch Feng, please go back and say it. Tomorrow, Guangde will have to go to the Censorate first before he can return to the royal palace."

Before Wei Guangde got on the carriage, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and walked to Feng Bao and said.

"Mr. Wei will go by myself, I will definitely bring the words."

Feng Bao answered hurriedly.

Wei Guangde bowed to Feng Baogong and watched him get on the carriage, and then he returned to his carriage.

Feng Bao returned to Prince Yu's mansion, while Wei Guangde went home directly. Thinking of the news he received today, Wei Guangde smacked his lips and made up his mind to go to the Censorate tomorrow to go through the motions and just look at it, and he didn't have to say anything.

At the end of the year, the major yamen in the capital began their final summary work, sorting out the office affairs of the year, and finally sending them to the palace to the emperor for preview in the form of a memorial.

The Ministry of Revenue naturally summarized all the tax revenue and fiscal expenditures in the entire Jiajing forty years, but without thinking, it must be a deficit. The previous deficit cannot be compensated and continues to expand.

The Ministry of Works summarizes large-scale national projects such as the Three Halls, gives roughly the completion time, and also data on the income and expenditure of the Ministry of Works.

Ministry of War

Ministry of Rites

In the Censorate, the left and right censors of the Censorate were also discussing a list in their hands, and there was a thick list on the desk next to them.

This is a record of the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate to inspect officials in various departments around the world and evaluate the work achievements of officials.

Tomorrow, the Censorate will first take out this document and hand it over to the Censor in Beijing to view it. After confirming it, it will be used as the Censorate's Censor's final connection with the Ministry of Personnel. It will only report to Emperor Jiajing after the New Year to promote and reward and punish the personnel.

"Mr. Pan, I think it's almost done. I have communicated with various censors before, and everyone thinks it's credible."

The Right Censor said to Paine.

"Since that's the case, then that's it. Tomorrow the Court will ask all the censors to take a look, and after confirming that it is correct, they will copy it to the Ministry of Personnel. It's better to report this matter with them after the New Year."

Paine nodded with a smile. The annual inspection is actually a form of the old official foxes.

As long as there is no trouble in the governance, the worst will be a moderate evaluation. Although you will not be promoted, you will still have no problem retaining your official position.

As for those officials who are going to be eliminated, they are either too old to continue to hold official positions, or they are offended by the people above and are willing to be dismissed.

"It should be said that the inspections in other places are quite appropriate, but Zhejiang and Fujian are in a little hurry."

The Right Censor still reminded Paine at this time.

"In the Zhejiang and Fujian officialdom, the Ministry of Personnel has no limit on what he said, and he still has to decide."

Pan En shook his head and said, "No matter what, it was the assessment given by the inspector censor sent by Nanjing. The censors in the capital were unwilling to go there. I think they couldn't say anything about these assessments."

On the second day, Wei Guangde appeared in front of the gate of the Censorate on time, wrote his name on the book of the throne, and walked into the Censorate with several censors.

Along the way, Wei Guangde also roughly understood what happened today, which was to announce the results of the Censorate's assessment of all officials this year. If anyone wants to be impeached, he can communicate with the court in advance so as not to give an excellent evaluation of an official. If the censor turns around, the impeachment will occur.

"This year, more than 2,000 people are evaluated according to the order, and nearly 100 people are to be dismissed?"

After hearing the conversations of several people, Wei Guangde felt that the sky was thunder was rolling.

Two years ago, Wei Guangde also participated in such a meeting. He remembered that he would just dismiss a dozen people and just dismissed them. Why are there so many this year?

"Shandai, there are not many people on the Fujian road. Now most of them are newly elected officials from the Ministry of Personnel and have not been evaluated so soon."

Someone smiled when he saw Wei Guangde's surprised face.

Wei Guangde was embarrassed to smile. He naturally knew that if the Fujian censors were sent to inspect the prefectures around the capital, they would rush to go one by one. Once they sent personnel to Fujian as the inspectors, they would push them one by one, and in the end they could only send their errands to the Nanjing Censors.

Wei Guangde is pretty good. He just puts a name in the Censorate. Now he is too late to shoot Qiandi Longshi. Who would be willing to be sent to Fujian to be an official? But the other people in Fujian are too unreasonable.

Wei Guangde followed everyone into the lobby of the Censorate. At this time, there were countless censors who had arrived early in the huge hall, and they all gathered together to talk about today's meeting.

Wei Guangde searched in the crowd for a while and found the places where several Fujian censors were located, so he squeezed over.

Similar to the news he heard on the road, this evaluation really has nothing to do with Fujian Dao, which means that he only needs to sit down for the next time and leave until the hospital meeting is over, and then take away a New Year gift prepared by the Censorate for all his colleagues.

"What will the hospital give away this year? Is it the same as last year?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously, he didn't appear here often, so the news was naturally not well-informed.

At last year's regular meeting, Wei Guangde went south to handle the work, but the Censorate still sent someone to deliver the things to his home.

After Wei Guangde returned to the capital, he learned from his home that he was giving some food and meat, as well as cloth and a red envelope. However, one of the cloth and red envelopes was a gift of the year, and the red envelopes contained two taels of silver and some treasure money.

The treasure banknotes are of course gifts given by Emperor Jiajing every year. What can be distributed in the palace are the fabrics weaving from Jiangnan and the treasure banknotes printed by the inner court.

"It's like this every year. I heard that there may be more treasure money, haha."

A colleague smiled at Wei Guangde.

Everyone knows that treasure banknotes are useless, but it is this useless thing. With the large number of uncontrollable printing and distribution and no recycling mechanism, the treasure banknotes are no longer circulated on the market, but the printing of treasure banknotes has never stopped.

"This year, Yunnan presented copper materials and made a batch of copper coins, which will probably be placed in red envelopes as annual gifts."

Another person said happily.

Wei Guangde knew what it was at the first time. Jiajing Tongbao, who wrote Xiaoping coins for Guang, read the real text directly, but it contains the meaning of official script.

Jiajing Tongbao coins are made of brass. In order to prevent private casting, the coin casting process is also improved, and technologies such as hot paint, edge shaving, and gold back are cast.

When Wei Guangde arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he had a lot of copper coins coming and going in and out of his hands, but the one that really made him feel like it was "copper coins". That was Jiajing Tongbao.

No matter what, the yellow one in Jiajing Tongbao is not like other Tongbaos, either black or green.

When Paine entered the lobby, all the censors who were talking consciously stopped talking, stood up and looked at the left and right censors who entered the door.

The group of censors is still very disciplined. At this time, there was no buzzing sound often heard in the conference in the lobby. Although the needles can be heard a little exaggerated, no one spoke.
