Chapter 53 The idea of retiring
"The eldest princess's contribution is real. If it weren't for the royal sister's efforts to turn the tide, there would be no Da Chong Dynasty today.
Even though I have made such a great contribution, those old scholars in the court are still chattering and making a lot of noise, and from time to time they want to report that my sister has brought bad reputation to the family. I just don't bother to pay attention to them. "
When Emperor Jiade thought of those old men who could only set moral standards for others at will, he felt a headache. He really had a bunch of useless and troublesome people.
"Your Majesty is right. My master just doesn't want to marry and she feels lonely so she keeps a few lovers. How does that bother them?"
Could it be that those old-fashioned sects are worried because I am old and don’t have the good looks and talent to please the master?”
When he imagined the old-fashioned people in the court with wrinkles on their faces like chrysanthemums, and how they were looked down upon by the coquettish imperial sister, Emperor Jiade could no longer hold back and twitched his lips. He raised his eyes to look at the face that was full of sincere desire for knowledge, and could only pretend to be serious and laughed and cursed: "Nonsense."
"Girl Li, if those old-fashioned people in the court heard what you just said, the pile of memorials impeaching you on my dragon table would be two feet high."
Knowing that Emperor Jiade had no intention of pursuing the matter, Li Shiliu naturally didn't take it to heart.
"Why so much nonsense? If a pile of memorials is piled up two feet high just because of one thing, it means that those old men have nothing to do after eating. So many eyes are fixed on women. They are really useless.
If you have the spare time, you might as well try to raise more money for disaster relief.
If Your Majesty finds them annoying, I have an idea."
"What crooked idea have you come up with again?
Tell me about it, if it is useful, I can consider it seriously. "
It seems that Emperor Jiade is indeed a little annoyed with those old people who do not know how to guess the emperor's intentions and who take advantage of their seniority.
"It's not that difficult, actually. I heard from my father that the old gentlemen have been in the court for many years and are very experienced. They are very good at handling government affairs. But they have to get up at three o'clock in the morning and go to court at four o'clock. It's not so difficult for someone my father's age, but some old gentlemen can't stand going to court like this every day.
Considering the health of the elderly, the emperor might as well establish a retirement system, so that all civil and military officials in the court can have a unified retirement age based on their rank.
For example, a first-rank official can retire at the latest at the age of 60, and a second-rank official like my father can retire at the latest at the age of 55. If he has not climbed to the first-rank position by the age of 55, he can go home and retire directly, leaving his position for more capable, talented and energetic young officials.
By analogy, over time, the atmosphere in the court will naturally be completely renewed."
"This is indeed a good idea, but will those old-fashioned people who have been in high positions for a long time agree to it?"
Reaching out and touching the beard on his chin, Emperor Jiade thought about it seriously and felt that Li Shiliu's idea was indeed promising.
"Your Majesty, success depends on human effort. Besides, who among these old officials who have been in power for a long time doesn't have some promising sons and nephews in their families?
The continuation of the family's glory cannot be relied upon by the dying old man; it must be established by the descendants themselves.
When elders retire willingly, aren't they also leaving room for their younger generations in the family?
Besides, what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth…”
