Chapter 2005 Carrying out the reform to the end
All father-in-laws from all over the country gathered in Beijing, and the first to comfort the first time has been completed by Tian Yi.
Compared with other reform targets, such as royal relatives, unqualified officials, etc., it seems much easier to remove the guards from all over the country.
After all, the number of people is limited, and it is relatively a vulnerable group. Once the emperor does not protect them, they will have no authority in an instant.
This reform was initiated by the emperor, and the father-in-law could only let fate cooperate.
Resistance is impossible unless you don't want to live.
At present, they can basically be father-in-law anymore, and the little things they can stay can be ignored.
Fortunately, they can freely choose the next path, and the elderly father-in-law can choose to retire.
Young father-in-law can choose to stay in the Beijing department of Zhu's Group, choose to stay in Xingnong Group, or I love my family, or choose to follow Sun Xian to explore, or choose to pursue business independently.
Anyway, there is still a way out.
Zhu's Group and Xingnong Group are at its peak, including my love for my family, and their influence is undeniable.
Moreover, under Tian Yi's arrangement, many of them also visited and talked to the employees inside. They had good treatment and lived a stable life.
I heard that there will be a retirement pension at that time, so I am not afraid of not being guaranteed when I get old in the future.
So many father-in-law are still open-minded.
As for life, why don’t you live? The key is that you can’t resist, so just accept it calmly.
It turns out that the father-in-laws who were eliminated from the Forbidden City are all here, even Zhang Jing, Zhou Zuo, Sun Xian and others are no exception.
What else do you have to say to other father-in-law?
So this reform is hardly effortless.
Of course, there is another important reason, that is, the officials of the Foreign Court basically all support this reform.
First of all, the officials of the Outer Court have never had any good feelings for the father-in-law group.
Think about the officials in the outer court who studied hard for ten years and passed the imperial examination. At least if they failed to pass the imperial examination, they would be a juren, so they had the opportunity to enter the official career.
But there are few educated father-in-laws, many of them are uneducated and not of high quality like Sun Xian. They were forced to be father-in-law when they were poor and forced to be father-in-law. How could scholars have any attitude towards them?
Especially the father-in-law who were sent to the local area often acted as a hero in the local area under the name of inspecting the emperor. He was not very good at doing anything, and he liked to point fingers, but he couldn't afford to offend him. It is no exaggeration to say that local officials have suffered for a long time.
Now that this system has been abolished, it is natural that those who are officials are not happy yet.
There is no group that supervises them.
In this way, the father-in-law wanted to resist, but they could not find one of the groups that supported them.
Therefore, as long as the emperor opens his mouth and says he is useless, it will be without suspense.
The big tree behind them was originally the emperor. Wouldn't the emperor say it would be abolished?
Even if I have complaints in my heart, I can only endure it.
Especially when they came to the capital to inquire, the emperor's authority was so high, like a god. Who else dared to jump out and oppose it?
In this way, the reform of guarding father-in-laws across the country was soon completed.
While the supervision task of local officials was temporarily handed over to the Censorate, Zhu Yili also issued a decree: all the people of the Ming Dynasty, including ordinary people, have the right to supervise Ming officials, and also stipulate that as long as it is not slander and defamation, supervision will be rewarded.
This is an embodiment of the people-oriented concept, and everyone has the right and obligation to be the master of their own country.
Of course, the people were a little excited and couldn't believe that they still had the rights and obligations of supervising officials, and they also had rewards and encouragement.
Officials were a little worried and afraid, thinking that if even ordinary people could supervise and report them, or even encourage them to supervise, would their behavior be secretly secret?
But this is another imperial edict. Both officials and the people know that this is true. The emperor wants to grant such rights to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the obligation of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, he has the right to supervise every official, including the emperor, and must be supervised. This is the sacred obligation of the citizen of the Ming Dynasty.
In the past, supervision basically came from officials. How many people dared to supervise local officials? But now it has been determined in the form of imperial edicts, that is, laws.
In fact, if you have the intention, you will find that this will is not sudden, but traceable.
Because as early as when Daxing and Wanping counties piloted reforms, the people had already given such rights and obligations and encouraged them to do so.
But it's now being promoted nationwide.
But as the policy issuer, Zhu Yiliu knew very well that this was far from enough.
Do you dare to supervise if the people are asked to supervise?
It is different in the capital. Under the emperor's nose, the people's courage must be greater, and the other is worse, while the officials' courage is much smaller.
And in the local area, as the saying goes, the old tradition of officials guarding the officials and hundreds or even thousands of years is how could it be easily changed because of a decree?
Whether the people dare to do so is on the one hand, and on the other hand, how can they ensure effective supervision? After supervision, how can they ensure that the people are not bullied and suppressed by local officials?
There are still many problems.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is still a feudal society with highly concentrated power.
As long as the power is highly concentrated, supervision will be greatly reduced, because it is equivalent to supervising yourself and the effect will definitely be difficult to guarantee.
So Zhu Yiliu was wondering whether to establish a constitutional monarchy, separation of powers, etc.
In short, overthrow feudal society.
If it is done, then all reforms before this will not be as important as this one.
Because of the importance, I will definitely not act rashly and must wait for the right opportunity.
But Zhu Yiliu was indeed thinking about this issue. Sooner or later, he would overthrow the feudal society, otherwise many of the reforms he carried out would not be thorough in the end.
If the Ming Dynasty is at the top of the world and rejuvenate, it is necessary to change the inherent social form that does not conform to the historical trend, and to establish a new social form that is more conducive to the development of the country.
...
Zhang Jingxiu returned to Jiangling City safely.
After more than two months of going back and forth, the time exceeded everyone's expectations. After all, let alone family, he is the general manager of Jiangling City of Zhu's Group.
After Zhang Jingxiu came back, of course, he saw his wife and children at the first time. Qin Hanqian learned that he had lost one leg and was mixed with emotion. She couldn't help but hugging Zhang Jingxiu and crying bitterly.
While pitying, repent and blame yourself.
Because she believed that if she hadn't had a conflict with Zhang Jingxiu, the relationship between husband and wife would not have been so stiff, and then she would not have been summoned by the emperor to Beijing, and Zhang Jingxiu would naturally not have lost one leg.
In her opinion, Zhang Jingxiu had an unshirkable responsibility to lose one leg.
However, Zhang Jingxiu never thought so at all. He didn't blame anyone for losing one leg. If he had to blame, he could only blame himself, because this accident could be avoided.
If Qin Hanqian's logic is based on her, it seems that no matter what happens, it is related to her.
