In addition, within the old Baishuang Dynasty, Lingfei Temple, where the Daoist Heavenly Monarch Cao Rong’s Taoist temple was located, was promoted from the temple to the sect by virtue of his merits. The first palace owner of Lingfei Palace, Xiangjun, was named Dongting.

Nowadays, the number of sects in Aquarius Continent is not small even compared to some other continents.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I have a suggestion that is not very mature. I just say that within the borders of our Great Li Kingdom and the entire northern boundary of Aquarius Continent, the promotion and relegation of sects and immortals and the gods of mountains and rivers are the same, and they are not

If you become the sect leader, you can get rid of it once and for all. If you violate the ban too seriously, you can be revoked from the sect title."

"For example, Da Li can help the Xiashan Huangzhu Sword Sect of Zhengyang Mountain to be promoted to a sect, provided that they have done enough meritorious deeds and can be recorded in the Confucian Temple's merit book."

"At the same time, Zhengyang Mountain, as the sect, can also be removed from its sect status."

The imperial study fell into silence again.

Chen Guoshi gave a good example...

Fortunately, Zhengyang Mountain did not have any Sword Immortal to attend the meeting today.

"It's a matter of great importance. When the time comes, I and Chen Guoshi, together with the six chief officials and the big and small nine ministers, will discuss the feasibility of this matter. We may finally invite Linlu Academy and Guanhu Academy to negotiate."

Song He said with a smile: "Next, let's discuss the matter of filling the vacancy of Qiantang Chief first. In addition to the candidates recommended by the Dali Ministry of Rites, Changchun Marquis and Linli Bo have their own favorite officials. Zhao Shangshu, please circulate the three files to everyone. We

Let’s see who is more suitable to be the head of Qiantang. After reading the files, Zhao Shangshu and the two uncles will introduce it to everyone, and then everyone can speak freely. We have long been familiar with each other, and we will not avoid relatives when we recommend talents. "

The Minister of Rites gave three archival documents. Among them, Cen Wenqian's resume was of great concern to everyone in the room, and they took a few more glances, because the golden body in the temple had the lowest status and the least fame, so that some gods only knew how to dance.

He did not know that He Bo was Cen Wenqian.

The candidate nominated by the Changchun Marquis Mansion this time is Cen Wenqian. If she succeeds, it will be equivalent to completing a feat that will reach three major steps in the officialdom of Shanshui.

So Yang Hua didn't have any hope for this.

On the other hand, the nomination of colleague Cao Yong, Lili Bo, is obviously more likely to pass the deliberation of the Dali court, and at least it can compete with the candidates recommended by the Dali Ministry of Rites.

First of all, Cao Yong was originally from the old Qiantang, so the Dali court must

Furthermore, this kind of step-by-step internal promotion is more in line with the practice of Shanshui officialdom.

According to the archives, Cen Wenqian, the first Lake Lord of Laoyu Lake, served as the academic administrator of several states of a large Li vassal state during his lifetime. Later, because he was good at economic affairs, he was transferred to the transfer envoy.

Responsible for the elimination of redundant subordinate staff, he was transferred from the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and finally to the Minister of Rites. He only served as a minister for a few days, and soon returned to his hometown. After Cen Wenqian's death, he was posthumously awarded the posthumous title of Taibao to the Crown Prince by the court.

It can be said that Cen Wenqian, who was deeply loved by the people, passed away, and the people in his hometown raised money to build a temple to worship and enjoy the incense. Cen Wenqian became a heroic spirit who protected the place. Logically speaking, she should have been promoted to a leader.

It is appropriate to be the city god of the state or even the city god of the capital, but Cen Wenqian was only sent by the imperial court as a minister of etiquette, Wailang, and was appointed as the little river uncle of the Tiaobo River. After that, she was not allowed to be promoted.

Seeing this, the gods in the house already understood.

The picture of Cen Wenqian's promotion in the officialdom is actually very clear. The monarch of the small country deliberately promoted Cen Wenqian as a "evil person" and only talked about cutting off subordinate staff. So when Cen Wenqian made public outrage in the officialdom, the emperor naturally "complied with the public opinion"

"Cen Wenqian crossed the river and demolished the bridge, unloaded the mill and killed the donkey. Let Cen Wenqian serve as the Minister of Etiquette for a few days, which can be regarded as raising the officialdom salary to a higher level after becoming an official. In this way, Cen Wenqian, who has no merit but hard work, can be regarded as a reward.

This was a decent explanation, and it was also a satisfactory explanation for Cen Wenqian's political opponents in the court.

The only surprise may be that Cen Wenqian can become a local prostitute in the temple. Of course, the contemporaries and nobles who are still alive in the temple, or the disciples and former officials who occupy important positions in the officialdom in their place, certainly do not hope that Cen Wenqian can be in the officialdom of Shanshui.

As he gets promoted step by step, Cen Hebo can only remain Cen Hebo.

In the Aquarius Continent outside the Great Li Dynasty, and in the Haoran Eight Continents outside the Aquarius Continent, there are endless officialdoms like this.

Later on, Cen Wenqian had a relatively prosperous official career. Tiaobo River and Dieyunling were neighbors in the mountains and rivers. They were both under the jurisdiction of the Changchun Marquis of Qidu before. Because the Tiaobo River was changed into Laoyu Lake, Cen Wenqian was transferred to the position of Lake Lord.

, which is equivalent to jumping two levels in a row, rising from Hebo to the seventh rank of the gods. Later, Cen Wenqian was recommended by Changchun Hou Yanghua and served in the Ministry of Industry of the Capital of Dali. Finally, as the Lord of Yihu Water, she also served as a member of the Water Department of the Capital.

Wai Lang, it’s just that Cen Wenqian needs to go to the Luojing Ministry of Industry Office every month. When to return to Hujun’s Mansion depends on the handover process of the specific affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

Isn't it a bit crazy to want to fill the vacancy of a third-grade Qiantang chief who has already been promoted as an exception and has only been a seventh-grade Lake Lord for a few days?

No matter what, Cen Wenqian can be considered as a simple person in the Emperor's heart if she can come up with it to discuss matters in the Imperial Study Room of Dali.

It seems that Changchun Hou Yanghua does not think highly of this subordinate of the Shui Mansion.

This is called the official level that suppresses people to death. There are people in the court who are easy to become officials.

After that, Zhao Duanjin, Yang Hua and Cao Yong respectively made supplements and introduced three candidates.

During this period, the Marquis of Changchun spoke the least. She explained Cen Wenqian's situation in just a few words.

Meng Rong was the first to say: "The Chief of Qiantang is an important position, a third-grade god, and there are only a handful of people in a continent. Zhe River has a lot of literature. Both sides of the river have been places with outstanding people and rich cultural fortunes since ancient times. The current Zhe River Water God Wu Yun, he

Now he is the fourth rank in the Confucian Temple's gold and jade genealogy, and he has surpassed the third rank and serves as the chief of Qiantang. It is not an exaggeration."

Tong Wenchang said: "Mengshanjun and I have different opinions, and I recommend Cen Wenqian."

Wei Bo smiled and said: "I'm not familiar with anyone. Just judging from the paper, I can't tell the difference. Each has its own advantages."

Saying it means not saying it.

Fan Junmao said: "I don't even know Mr. Wei Shan, so I am even more confused."

Jin Qing said: "Wu Yun, the water god of the Zhejiang River, has a strong personality and has been the chief official of Qiantang for a long time. The two rivers have the same source and the water nature is naturally similar, so it is more suitable to fill the gap."

The old minister of the Ministry of War laughed and said: "That's why historically it was necessary to build tall towers to control the tide."

Cao Yong looked embarrassed.

Chen Ping'an asked: "Zhao Shangshu, here at the Ministry of Industry in Lijing City, is there any resume and evaluation of Cen Wenqian who is accompanying the Ministry of Industry? If so, I can use it as a reference today."

Zhao Duanjin replied: "Yes. I can get it right away."

Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "Well, thank you. Zhao Shangshu immediately sent someone to take a look."

Fan Junmao leaned back on his chair and let out a soft chuckle, which was slightly better than the undisguised sneer.

You, Chen Guoshi, have already said this, and those here are not fools. Why are you wasting your breath by discussing this nonsense? Just let Cen Wenqian be the head of Qiantang.

If it weren't for the inappropriate location, Jiang Shangzhen, who was sitting at the door, would have wanted to give this female tiger a thumbs up.

Zhao Duanjin rubbed a jade plaque on his waist, shook his sleeves, and in front of him appeared a thousand-step corridor with Nanxunfang on both sides, and the "pocket wooden models" of many government offices in Kejia Lane. I saw that this person was not a Qi practitioner.

The Minister of Rites moved skillfully, and the scene kept changing. Soon, he retrieved Cen Wenqian’s records about Cen Wenqian’s work in the Ministry of Industry from a pile of files from a file room in his own "Yamen of the Ministry of Rites"

, Zhao Duanjin tapped the jade plaque with his finger again, and the scene disappeared, leaving only the file in the hands of the Minister of Rites.

Only then did Chen Ping'an find out that it turned out that the small court meeting in the imperial study room could be done in this way, which would indeed save time and effort.

This record was circulated in the room again. Previously, all the gods present here only knew that Cen Wenqian had done practical things in the Ministry of Industry of the Capital City, but the specific credit and how it was done were not clear. But in this record that Zhao Duanjin had just "moved in"

The file clearly records every suggestion Cen Wenqian put forward as a member of the Ministry of Water Resources, including how to dredge rivers, widen tributary waters or divert rivers, and where to "join the dragon"... attached to different officials from various departments of the Ministry of Works

The inspection results and evaluation content.

Chen Ping'an said slowly: "From now on, the officialdom of Dali's mountains and rivers, including the fifth rank and below, the gods and spirits of various mountains and rivers, the City God Temple and the Wenwu Temple, the rules for local promotion remain unchanged, and the principle of proximity will still be followed more, but the gods

Promotions above the fifth rank, except for some special cases, are generally selected from outside. Except for the taboo of conflicts between mountains and rivers, and it is not suitable for the gods of mountains and water to exchange identities, other city god temples at all levels including the capital, prefectures and counties, plus

In the Wenwu Temple, there is a possibility of being transferred to another mountain god or water god. In the same way, the latter can also fill the gap of the former."

"This is to avoid two extreme situations. Instead of being a harmonious group, standing on the top of the mountain, reporting good things but not worrying, local government offices only focus on their own interests. Otherwise, there will be long-term internal friction, focusing all their thoughts on the struggle for power and profit, and internal conflicts among colleagues.

The mutual strife and ostracism resulted in whoever did more making more mistakes, secretly exposing and complaining to the imperial officials and the Wuyue Mountain Lord's Mansion."

"Flowing water does not rot, household hubs do not become beetles, and in the officialdom of mountains and rivers, those above the fifth rank must also follow the rule that court officials are not allowed to serve in their original place. Every exception must be filed in the Lili Department and the Li Department, and the recommender will second it.

Anyone who has any objections should write it clearly so that it can be easily checked later."

"It is later proven that the recommendation of someone is meritorious, and no reward will be given. This is just to seek political power in his position, and it is his duty. But if the recommendation is wrong, he must be punished, because this is a dereliction of duty. Some people say that the easiest thing in the world is to be an official.

, it’s okay for outsiders to take it seriously, and they can understand this sentence casually, but since it is said that all people are inferior in everything but good at studying, and it has been a natural practice since ancient times to be good at learning and become an official, I would like to see how easy it is to be an official. For example

Today, the Marquis of Changchun recommended Cen Wenqian to be the Chief of Qiantang. Assuming that this appointment is approved, together with Chen Ping'an, I, as long as I choose to second the proposal today, we will have Cen Wenqian's corruption, maladministration, self-interest, etc. in the future of Qiantang.

One by one, you have to calculate the addition and subtraction according to the old official regulations set by Cui Guoshi."

"In addition, complaints in Shanshui official circles must be reported with real names. However, at the same time, the Wuyueshan Lord's Mansion and Dadu Houbo Mansion, which accept the case, also have the state-level City God's Temple as a supervisor related to their responsibilities.

Thanks to the picket and other government agencies, the investigation will be done to the end. We are not afraid of digging up old accounts. We can investigate even a thousand years ago. Even if we can find files from hundreds of years ago, we must find out the files from hundreds of years ago.

So far, so from today on, there is no such thing as forgetting the past in officialdom. From now on, we will keep an eye on a certain landscape god who has been reported by his subordinates or colleagues in the officialdom for at least a hundred years. If he dares to take revenge for personal gain, or find another way to punish him,

If anyone is found wearing small shoes and they are unable to prove their innocence, then the crime will be increased and they will be dealt with severely. The Li, Li and Punishment Departments of the Dali court will jointly set up a new organization, and each of the three government offices will have at least one person.

The minister came forward to take charge of this matter, and the Wuyue Dadu and the Capital City God's Temple asked a chief official to come to the capital government office on time to discuss the matter, and they were jointly responsible for regularly reviewing related files."

Cao Yong hesitated for a moment, but still did not raise any objection. Since it was business, he could not say anything more on behalf of his old friend Wu Yun.

Moreover, today is the first time that Chen Ping'an has participated in the discussion as the Imperial Master of Dali. Cao Yong is so familiar with the officialdom that it is really not appropriate for him to speak out and refute anything.

What's more, Chen Ping'an was discussing the matter, not only about filling the vacancy of Qiantang Chief, but also about the new rules of the entire Dali Shanshui officialdom.

Today, it is a simple sentence, "The running water does not rot, the door hinges do not have beetles", but in the future, the entire Dali Shanshui officialdom will last for hundreds of thousands of years. Some people are happy and some are sad.

As for other issues, Cao Yong did not dare to get involved.

Except for Cao Yong, almost all the gods present had some headaches.

Once the Dali Dynasty has a brand-new government office that has not been named yet, it means that the court's hand will be stretched even longer.

However, Chen Ping'an also proposed that the transfer and transfer of gods among various gods is a big piece of good news for the entire Shanshui officialdom.

Tong Wenchang suddenly asked a question, "Master Chen, if you don't know the right person and make the wrong appointment, all of us here are jointly and severally responsible. What about His Majesty the Emperor? Have you always stayed out of the matter?"

Fan Junmao let out a laugh.

This old farmer with a sad face speaks well and is not like some green-shirted scholars with hairpins on their heads.
