After hearing Zhao Junchen say that he had a solution, Emperor Deqing automatically ignored the word "shady" and immediately became energetic.
In the view of Emperor Deqing, evaluating the quality of a method does not depend on its process, but on whether it achieves results.
If the situation in Jiangnan could be guaranteed to be stable, Emperor Deqing would naturally be willing to take over power from the Six Ministries of Nanjing, even if he resorted to underhanded means.
Therefore, Emperor Deqing asked directly: "Oh? Zhao Aiqing has a solution? Let's hear it."
However, Zhao Junchen was a little hesitant and said: "My method is a bit...unconventional, so I would like to ask your majesty to pardon me first, otherwise I will not dare to speak out!"
Emperor Deqing waved his hand and said: "Just say it, no matter what you say, I will not blame you."
After Zhao Junchen bowed to express his thanks, he said slowly: "For hundreds of years, Jiangnan businessmen have made a fortune under the protection of the Nanjing Sixth Ministry. Jiangnan scholars have obtained their fame under the care of the Nanjing Sixth Ministry.
With support, he has been steadily rising... Therefore, people from all walks of life in Jiangnan are not willing to see the Nanjing Six Ministries lose their power. This is the real reason why Your Majesty and the ministers are so cautious."
Emperor Deqing nodded and motioned for Zhao Junchen to continue.
Then, Zhao Junchen mentioned a point of view that no one had ever thought of: "But what if one day, the Six Ministries of Nanjing not only fail to provide benefits and conveniences to the people of all walks of life in Jiangnan, but actually harm their interests? At that time, Jiangnan will
Will Taxis, Agriculture, Industry and Commerce still firmly support the Nanjing Six Ministries as usual?"
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, everyone in the Imperial Study Room's eyes lit up, and Emperor Deqing was even more thoughtful, vaguely guessing something.
After letting everyone think for a moment, Zhao Junchen continued: "My method is a chain plan! The first step of this plan is to implement as soon as possible the several charges against Mr. Huang Ge for impeaching the Sixth Department of Nanjing. Once these charges are
After this is implemented, the Capital Center will also have a handle on the Nanjing Sixth Department, and the Nanjing Sixth Department will be completely passive!
In this way, the Central Committee of the Capital City had reason to purge the Six Ministries of Nanjing and thoroughly purge the main officials of the Six Ministries of Nanjing. Not only would all the ministers of the Six Ministries of Nanjing be dismissed, but all the Ministers of the Six Ministries and those middle-level officials with strong ability to do things would also be dismissed.
Replacement will leave only those inferior officials who are either greedy or incompetent. At that time, the Six Ministries of Nanjing will be leaderless and completely paralyzed. This step might as well be called 'decapitation and bone extraction'!"
Under the attention of everyone, Zhao Junchen continued: "As for the second step of the plan, the imperial court will appoint the new Nanjing Six Ministers, but the imperial court must also be somewhat particular when making appointments!
For example, Wu Xingren, the governor of Jiangxi Province, has a perverse and unsociable character, does not know how to gather people's hearts but likes to exclude dissidents, so he might as well be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Nanjing; Wang Zheng, the chief minister of Jiangxi Province, is greedy and stingy and likes to care about everything, so he might as well let him serve as the minister of civil affairs in Nanjing.
He came to serve as the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing. There was a Censor named Li Ziyong in the Imperial Court. He was already old, weak and useless, and he had made many mistakes. He might as well let him go.
Served as the Minister of Criminal Affairs in Nanjing; Shen Xinwen, the prefect of Shunde Prefecture, relied on Zu Yin to serve as an official. He was notoriously uneducated and liked to pretend to be smart and envious of talents. The court had originally planned to remove him, but now it might as well let him
Going to serve as the Minister of Rites in Nanjing... This step can be called 'drawing blood to replace marrow'!"
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, everyone in the royal study room subconsciously took a breath of air-conditioning and looked at Zhao Junchen with horrified eyes. They felt that Zhao Junchen's plan was indeed vicious and sinister!
Let Wu Xing, who has a perverse personality and does not know how to win people's hearts but likes to exclude dissidents, to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing? I am afraid that the entire Southern Zhili officials will never be able to get ahead.
Heavy punishment situation!
Wang Zheng has a greedy and stingy temperament and likes to care about everything. If he is appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, he will inevitably blackmail businessmen and increase taxes from time to time. Moreover, this person is famous for being ruthless and will not do things for others even after receiving money.
, by then the merchants and farmers throughout Jiangnan will be miserable.
Li Ziyong is already a coward, old and weak, and has been repeatedly neglected in recent years. If he is appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in Nanjing, there is no telling how many unjust, false and wrong cases will occur, which will inevitably arouse public resentment.
There is also Shen Xinwen, who has always been uneducated and incompetent. He also likes to talk and doesn't know how to pretend to understand. He is also always jealous of talents and narrow-minded. Let him serve as the Minister of Rites in Nanjing. Not only will he make a lot of jokes, but also the students in Jiangnan Gongyuan.
A catastrophe is coming!
The best thing is that Wu Xingren and Wang Zheng have always been at odds with each other. It is not enough to say that they are mortal enemies. A few days ago, they even sent memorials to His Majesty, impeaching each other with fierce words. Shen Xinwen is a troublemaker, and Li Ziyong has no control.
If they were to serve as the six ministers of Nanjing, not only would several yamen be in chaos, but they would also fall into internal strife and internal strife!
For a moment, everyone lamented that Zhao Junchen's plan was really too sinister!
However, they still underestimated Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen's chain plan was not just a two-step plan!
I saw Zhao Junchen continue to say: "Then, it is the third step of the plan. After the imperial court purges the Six Ministries of Nanjing, there will inevitably be many vacancies in the Six Ministries of Nanjing. The imperial court will only be responsible for filling some of them, and it will also replace some of the ignorant, incompetent, and greedy people.
Impetuous officials, as for the remaining vacancies, let the Six Ministries of Nanjing conduct internal selections! At that time, in order to compete for these vacancies, the Six Ministries of Nanjing will inevitably fall into further conflicts. When the situation reaches a stalemate, the imperial court will issue a decree. According to
The political achievements of various ministries in Nanjing will determine the final ownership of these vacant positions! This step of the plan might as well be called 'disease and treatment'!"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's suggestion, everyone in the imperial study was shocked.
After all the hard-working officials in the Six Ministries of Nanjing were wiped out by the imperial court, only some dim-witted and incompetent officials were left, and there were completely unreliable bosses like Wu Xingren, Wang Zheng, Li Ziyong, and Shen Xinwen. This situation was exactly what should be done.
There is a saying: "If you do more, you will make more mistakes; if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes; if you do less, it will be better"!
If the Nanjing Sixth Department could do nothing at this time and keep a low profile as much as possible, it might be possible to survive this crisis, but according to Zhao Junchen's plan, they are forced to let go and fight!
In this way, the Nanjing Sixth Film will be lively to watch.
For example, where did the achievements of the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs come from? Naturally, the merits and demerits of officials are assessed, but with Wu Xingren's character, the merits will be less discussed and too many will be recorded. Maybe Wuxing people will be eager to arrest many corrupt officials.
When the cruel officials come to prove their abilities to the court, what will the officials in South Zhili think?
For another example, where did the achievements of the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs come from? Naturally, it was the collection of grain and taxation! But with Wang Zheng's character and style, I am afraid that it will soon turn into exorbitant levies and extortionate taxes. It will definitely be the repeated distribution of taxes to merchants and farmers.
How will the merchants and farmers in Zhili react?
For another example, if the Nanjing Criminal Department wants to establish meritorious service, it needs to resolve some old cases as soon as possible. Given Li Ziyong's ignorance and incompetence, what are the chances of these cases being successfully solved? How likely is it to become an unjust, false or wrongful conviction?
In short, there is nothing worse in the officialdom than to let an unreliable boss lead a group of greedy and incompetent subordinates to have free reign and hold each other back.
Terrible!
But Zhao Junchen was still unsatisfied and continued: "As for the last step of the plan, it is to instigate and instigate, further arousing the dissatisfaction of the people from all walks of life in Jiangnan, including farmers, industry and commerce, towards the Nanjing Six Ministries, and even triggering a fierce conflict that makes the Nanjing Six Ministries
Completely losing the hearts of the people! At that time, as long as someone comes forward, the people in Jiangnan will think of the existence of the capital center, and they will definitely ask the court center to uphold justice for them!
Then, as long as the center of the imperial court stood up in time to quell the public grievances, it would be easy to win over the people of all walks of life in Jiangnan! Then, the imperial court took advantage of the situation and agreed to the requests of the people in Jiangnan, not only severely punishing the Nanjing Six Ministries, but also taking the power of the Nanjing Six Ministries back to the capital.
At this time, the people of all walks of life in Jiangnan still have resentment in their hearts, and there will not be much backlash. By the time they react, the matter will be a foregone conclusion! This step can be called a 'wonderful rejuvenation'!"
At this point, Zhao Junchen bowed to Emperor Deqing again and said: "I believe that if this chain plan can be implemented smoothly, it will definitely eradicate the hidden dangers of the Six Ministries in Nanjing. However, the method is a bit clandestine and unjust. Please ask Your Majesty."
Mingjian!"
After Zhao Junchen finished telling his plan, the imperial study room fell into silence again. Everyone looked at Zhao Junchen blankly, as if they had just met Zhao Junchen!
To be able to become the core ministers of the imperial court, many people can be considered unscrupulous on weekdays, but they cannot conceive of such a vicious and sinister plan!
However, although Zhao Junchen's plan is sinister, it has to be said that this plan is indeed very likely to succeed! If it is successfully implemented, the situation of Nanjing's Liubu tail will be completely ended.
Of course, if this plan is to be executed smoothly, it must be accomplished with the concerted efforts of all the key officials of the imperial court present!
Finally, under the silence, Emperor Deqing slowly spoke.
…
ps: Chongzi was in a state of confusion yesterday, because the results after the limited exemption are very important, so Chongzi just kept updating more and more, and some ignored the quality.
But starting from today, Chongzi will no longer care about his grades, return to his original intention, and just write this book seriously!
So there are only two or three updates today, but they are all big chapters.
