Chapter 837

What they felt incredible was the changes in Zhu Yili's entire personality and his concept of treating others.

If their attitude towards Wang Xijue just now had already allowed them to see this change, after all, Wang Xijue turned against him, but he praised him.

Then they were very difficult to understand at this moment. You should know that Zhang Jing is both his apprentice and firmly supports him.

In the end, Zhang Jing will be removed from his post. No matter how important the responsibilities he is entrusted to Zhang Jing, he will never be as good as the chief supervisor of the Sili and the admiral of the East Factory!

"Your Majesty, who will take over the admiral of the East Factory?" Shen Shixing couldn't help but ask.

"Prepare to let Chen Ju take over."

"Eunuch Chen, oh." Shen Shixing nodded slightly, thinking that this person was quite in line with his wishes.

But he was still worried about Feng Bao's return...Shen Shixing still felt resentful, and as soon as he thought of Feng Bao, he couldn't help but think of his position as Juzheng.

If Feng Bao returns to the court, he has already been amnesty. Do you have to invite Zhang Juzheng back? After all, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng are the strongest combination.

But Shen Shixing would definitely not dare to ask Zhu Yili in person. Because although the world has been pardoned, it is still a big secret for Zhang Juzheng to live in the world, and not many people know this secret.

So Shen Shixing held back for the time being, and felt that if you want to ask, you would have to chat with Zhu Yiliu for a while before asking.

"Mr. Shen thinks this arrangement is feasible?" Zhu Yili asked again after pondering the film.

"I have no objection." Shen Shixing finally expressed his support for Feng Bao's return.

"What about you?" Zhu Yiliu turned his attention to Xu Guo and others again.

"I have no objection." Except for Xu Xuemo, the other three cabinet ministers replied in unison.

Xu Xuemo did not speak out, not because of opposition, but just felt that this matter had nothing to do with him. He was the Minister of Rites, and he could still express his opinion, but the candidates for the Sili Supervisor and the Admiral of the East Factory were beyond his responsibilities.

"Okay! Let's discuss this matter like this for now. I wonder what you guys have to say or what expectations do you have for me?" Zhu Yili asked sincerely.

This time, Shen Shixing finally spoke first and said loudly: "I think the most urgent thing is that the reform of the former chief assistant Mr. Zhang was once completely abolished. Your Majesty should decide as soon as possible what to do next."

"First of all, be sure to resume the examination and achievement." Zhu Yiliu blurted out without hesitation.

But without thinking, blurting out the words is just an appearance. In fact, he had thought about this issue for a long time. Since the examination method was a kind of official assessment system established by Zhang Juzheng during the reform, it can be said that Zhang Juzheng's originality, so Emperor Wanli directly rejected it.

The main purpose of the test method is to "implement". To put it bluntly, it is to force people to do things. The purpose is to focus on the effectiveness of the assessment work and improve efficiency. Not to mention in ancient times, it is to put it in modern times, test method still has considerable use value and reference significance.

There is no doubt that Zhang Juzheng was a politician who followed the ancestral system. Many of the measures he took, such as burning academies, rectifying border defenses, and even the one-whip method, were carried out to respect the ancestral system.

The test method is to a certain extent inheriting many contents in the "Ming Cheng Dian". In his memorial to request a final test, he used a long paragraph to explain that his test method is based on the system of respecting the ancestors. It turns out that there are indeed contents similar to the test method in the "Ming Cheng Dian".

At that time, Zhang Juzheng re-emerged the existing ancestral system, hoping to "declare the old rules from now on", and introduce new things and strictly implement them.

It can be said that Zhang Juzheng's examination method is an inheritance of the ancestral system, but it was taken out and added to meet the times when it was forgotten by people. This is an innovation.

Zhu Yiliu still highly praised the test method.

So when Shen Shixing asked how to go next, he thought of the method of returning to the exam.

The facts of Zhang Juzheng's reform have proved that exams are an effective weapon to rectify officials' lax and slack policies.

Emperor Wanli just rejected Zhang Juzheng's test method because he hated Zhang Juzheng, which was an irresponsible and even extremely stupid behavior in Zhu Yili's opinion.

Because he answered Shen Shixing using "must" and his attitude was very clear, it was equivalent to giving an order.

So Shen Shixing didn't say a word, so he nodded and agreed to resume the exam.

Zhu Yiliu then said: "I did not say that Mr. Zhang's reforms must be restored, but measures as good as those of the test should not be lost."

Shen Shixing nodded, and the remaining ministers nodded in agreement.

"If you have anything else to say to me, please say it bluntly." Zhu Yiliu said again.

But there is no opening again.

Seeing that they were silent, Zhu Yili had to wave his hand: "Since that's the case, all the families of you will retreat."

Several ministers stood up.

"Oh, Mr. Shen, don't leave first. I have a few questions to ask for advice alone."

After Zhu Yiliu and Shen Shixing met, he understood and said in a way.

In this way, Shen Shixing stayed and several other ministers left.

There are only two people left in Donghunting Pavilion.

Zhu Yili raised his hand, "Mr. Shen, please sit down!"

When Shen Shixing sat down, Zhu Yili asked hurriedly: "Mr. Shen has anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty, I have something that is inconvenient to ask just now." Shen Shixing replied frankly.

"It's okay now."

"Since Your Majesty has decided to invite Eunuch Feng back, should you also ask Mr. Zhang to take care of the matter?" Shen Shixing asked bluntly.

"No." Zhu Yili shook his head confidently, and then explained, "One of the time, Mr. Zhang is old and he should enjoy a blessing; secondly, although he has already been pardoned, it is a fact that Mr. Zhang commits the crime of deceiving the emperor by falsely circulating his death. I don't want to push him to Taiwan and comment on him. This is also Mr. Zhang's own intention."

"But the country really needs a minister like him who is brave and skilled, and often the ministers feel that they are not capable enough. If Mr. Zhang comes back, the position of chief minister will be kept for him at any time."

It can be seen that Shen Shixing is not humble, he really has this idea.

However, Zhu Yiliu shook his head and said slowly: "I think Mr. Zhang is no longer possible. Mr. Shen still remember what I repeatedly told you when you were the first minister?"

"Xiao Gui Cao Sui?" Shen Shixing had the most impression of this, so he thought of it at the first time.

"That's right." Zhu Yiliu said, "I hope Mr. Shen will not feel weak and not feel stressed. In fact, you just need to follow Mr. Zhang's plan. If there is anything wrong on the way, I will point it out. Maybe one day I will invite Mr. Zhang back, but I will not push him to the front of the stage, but I will only let him retreat behind the scenes. The position of the chief minister is still Mr. Shen."

"Thank you for your trust! I will do my best to do my job well."

"That's fine."

"There is another thing, I want to remind Your Majesty."

"explain."

"As for the matter of the King of Fan's vassal of the East Fan, I hope His Majesty will arrange it as soon as possible. After all, it seems that it is not good to keep the King of Fan's house arrest in Yikun Palace."

"I know." Zhu Yili nodded. This is a fact. Although Emperor Wanli has become the deposed emperor and has no worries about him, it is not a big deal to put him under house arrest in Yikun Palace for a long time. It is safer and more reliable to send him to Dongfan as soon as possible.

"These are only two things I want to say."

"Mr. Shen, don't worry about Eunuch Feng coming back." Zhu Yiliu explained with sincerity, "He has experienced ups and downs, and it will definitely be different when he comes back."
