Zhu Houcong felt that his good mood today had been disturbed. He had originally thought that Beijing and Shandong were not too far away. According to his strength, it would only take three to five days to go back and forth.
Now it's better, plus a Huang Jin, isn't this a drag oil bottle? But the drag oil bottle is a drag oil bottle, and people must still carry it with them. If he really goes out alone, Lu Fang and the others will definitely be worried. This
Who can rest assured?
Including Huang Jin, it is estimated that it will take a week to get back and forth. This guy has not practiced any upper-level Qinggong, and the endurance of this guy's internal skills is not good, so he is really dragging his feet.
Of course, it's not useless at all. At least someone will take care of your daily life.
Well, if there was a choice, Zhu Houcong would naturally wish to be alone, but this is obviously impossible. The emperor just compromises with the officials and the people.
Originally, Zhu Houcong's initial plan was to be a grandson for a few years and let those people make trouble, but later he found that he couldn't be such a grandson, and it was easy for things to go wrong when he was in a bad mood, so he simply turned the table over.
He will fight anyone who refuses to accept it. He will crush the technology tree in his hand. There is absolutely no reason why he will lose. So during this period, he basically never gave in or compromised? What is that? Compromising and bowing are impossible. If you have the ability
Just beat me into submission. If you have no ability, I will beat you down.
At that time, he really had no choice in front of Lu Fang and others. They worked hard without complaining and considered everything for him. Although sometimes he didn't agree with it very much, but what should I say, he still had to consider their feelings.
Yes, there is nothing we can do about it. Just take Huang Jin with you, and you won't lose any meat.
"In this case, that servant will resign first." Lu Fang didn't take it seriously. If there is no holiday, there will be no holiday. There was no plan to take a holiday in the first place. There was a pile of documents in the cabinet. Your Majesty was right, it must be abolished.
Officials, these guys really have nothing to do. They even have to report how much they have eaten for lunch.
Lu Fang didn't believe that he could govern such a large area without anything happening for a month? It was just a fool's errand and a perfunctory one, and he was extremely perfunctory at that.
"Go, go, don't be too busy, take a rest occasionally. It will be easier for you here now that Chen Hong is back. Also, you and Yan Song plan the cabinet personnel. Since Mao Ji and the others don't want to cause trouble, then
Never cause trouble, go home and retire in peace, this is my greatest gift to them."
Zhu Houcong waved his hand, what is the purpose of keeping this kind of corpse-like meal? Maybe they have their own concerns like Yang Tinghe, Zhu Houcong can understand, but this is originally a question of taking sides. Since you don't want to stand on his side, then just go with him.
If Yang Tinghe were to take the initiative, everyone would be better off.
Zhu Houcong is the most annoying person who occupies the toilet and wants to please both. If you really have a backbone, you stand on the opposite side of me. Who are you showing this to?
At first, they might have been waiting for the end of the border war. Now that Qi Jingtong is about to reach the Tatar lair, if these guys still don't express their stance, there is no use in keeping them. If they can replace Yan Song earlier, they will be able to relax a little bit.
"I dare to ask Master, what are your requirements for the selection of the cabinet this time? I can go back and discuss with you all." Lu Fang was not surprised. In fact, His Majesty did not order a thorough investigation to see if there was any stain on these people to settle the scores.
They are already very merciful, occupying the latrine and not taking a shit, they are almost exhausted.
Your Majesty's patience has reached its limit. These guys don't know it yet. The best choice at this time is to either submit your resignation to Your Majesty, and maybe get a reward or something, or to come back to work. Maybe Your Majesty is in a good mood and can continue to use it, but so
Playing dead is obviously not a wise choice.
But it’s okay, those guys are getting old, and some fresh blood will be chosen, and the cabinet will be more energetic. As the cabinet is the highest power organ of the Ming Dynasty, if the cabinet is energetic, the entire Ming Dynasty will also be energetic, and it will stand at the forefront of reform.
, the cabinet really needs such an injection of fresh blood.
"Don't stick to the old people. Find some new people. Young people are more likely to accept some things. Isn't it time to open an encore? It's not impossible to choose from the newly promoted scholars. Why not start with assistants first? Cabinet selection, work
If you are doing the same job, once you have work experience and do well, you can then move up the ranks. Don’t be too rigid in employing people.”
To be honest, it is too difficult to find a few normal people in the current Ming Dynasty officialdom. It is even rarer to find people who are full of reform drive. It is too difficult to find. It is better to cultivate them yourself.
At least the scholars who have just entered the officialdom, or even those who have not yet entered the officialdom, have not yet experienced the pollution of the big dye vat of the officialdom, and they can achieve success if they are guided.
As for the original officials, they either became old fat men, eating and waiting to die together with the people around them, or they were completely beaten by reality and had no fighting spirit. Zhu Houcong was not very fond of them anyway.
Let Lu Fang and the others make plans first. We can talk about any suitable candidates later. Moreover, there is no talk of directly being promoted to the cabinet. We will set up a secretary position first. The only real candidate for the cabinet is Yan Song. The others are all candidates to help.
You can choose a few more things to do, and then choose outstanding people to be promoted to the cabinet. It is not a big step.
If you can't succeed, then continue to be an assistant. After studying for a period of time, you can go downstairs to practice. You have to find some capable people. After this set of procedures, these people are already quite young and have good skills.
They have achieved political achievements, and when the time comes to promote them to the cabinet, everyone will be convinced.
The early stage of reform is definitely the best period. Everything is determined based on ability. If you are capable, you can sit in a higher position. If you are not capable, you can't blame others.
Moreover, there are the most vacant positions in the early stage of reform. As long as you work hard, there will be opportunities. After all, in the early stage of reform, there is a shortage of people everywhere. As long as there are capable people, Zhu Houcong will keep them in high regard.
But when the social system becomes stable and every pit is taken advantage of, it will be different. Even if you have the ability, you may not be able to get an appointment.
This is a very real problem. There is a pit for each carrot. When the pits are full, it is hard for him to pull up all the carrots.
Furthermore, when society becomes stable, these old people must have undergone some changes. Perhaps they were all dedicated to the country at the beginning, but as they get older, they will more or less care for their children and relatives.
Welfare, this is human nature, Zhu Houcong can't even block this hole, then what is the purpose of being an official?
This is the solidification of social classes. This is inevitable. This trend can be slowed down, but it is difficult to avoid it. Unless we tear it down and start over, it will happen again in a few decades. This is a reincarnation. If these officials are determined
As a duke, every king of the country will be a wise king, so there will be no change of dynasty.
It's still a bit too early to think about this now. Zhu Houcong's intention will definitely be taken care of by then, but it's a bit too early to mention it now. Maybe we can think of a way in the future. It's all out of the question now, so there's no need to worry about it.
"Then will this cause dissatisfaction among everyone? After all, Mr. Yan can be said to be special, but if everyone is brought up directly, it will inevitably make everyone feel unfair." Lu Fang hesitated, it's not impossible, but this
This will inevitably make everyone frustrated.
It will also make everyone feel that this is the emperor's decision, and who has the final say is the emperor alone. Although it improves the emperor's prestige, it goes against the original intention of the reform and will chill the hearts of those who are capable.
Zhu Houcong waved his hand indifferently and said softly: "I didn't say to bring it up directly. I just left the position empty. Everyone has a chance. I just selected some young people to help you handle some things. They are just assistants. I will wait for you."
If you think it's okay, then let them go to the local level to implement reforms, and then when they come back they will have achieved the political achievements they should have, and who can say anything at that time?"
Zhu Houcong shrugged. He thought more comprehensively, so that he could screen talents to the greatest extent, and this would temporarily relieve the pressure on the entire officialdom. After all, there are so many positions in the cabinet vacant, and whoever has the ability doesn't want to give it a try.
And if you want to make progress, you have to make achievements. Then the whole Ming Dynasty will become active, and everything will develop in a good direction.
"That's not impossible." Lu Fang's eyes lit up. This is a good thing. It's good to be there alone. Everyone has hope. If some young people come to help the cabinet, it won't be so busy.
, and can also train new people.
Of course, the problem that arises is whether Yan Song is given too much power. He is the only one in the entire cabinet. Even the chief minister also represents the cabinet, which is equivalent to the prime minister at the beginning of the founding of the country.
Emperor Taizu finally abolished the prime minister system with great difficulty. Now, isn't it equivalent to making Yan Song the prime minister in disguise? Isn't this inappropriate? Although he can have some checks and balances, he is just a eunuch after all.
There are many things that he has no way to interfere with. If he does, once Yan Song's ambitions become too great, no one can suppress him.
"What do you want to say?" Zhu Houcong knew from the look on Lu Fang's face that this guy had something to say.
"Master, does this give Yan Song too much power?" The first assistant has already reached the top, and now he has become the prime minister. With such a rapid rise, it is difficult not to make people think.
Moreover, the subsequent selection of candidates is mainly done by him and Yan Song. To be precise, it is Yan Song who is selecting. By then, the entire cabinet will belong to Yan Song, and the people below will be brought out by him. His Majesty will create a
It's not good for the chief assistant with absolute power to come out. It's really bad.
"It's definitely too big, but you don't need to be suspicious of others. I trust them. Do you think Yang Shen's rights are so small? But I never interfere with the internal affairs of Jinyiwei. These are all given by me.
They trust that there are many things in the entire country. I cannot do it myself, so I need to share the things. As long as the independence of the army is maintained, no matter how powerful Yan Song is, he will be like a duckweed in the water without roots. "
Zhu Houcong waved his hand, there must be dangers, but he believed that when he was around, Yan Song would not dare to have any bad thoughts, so there would be no problem. If there were no bad thoughts, then the only thing left would be to work hard, then
What else.
Furthermore, the cabinet was not abolished, it was just that the position was left vacant. Yan Song only had the rights of the prime minister. He still had the royal guards in his hands, so he would never be able to change the world.
"As long as your Majesty has a plan, I will leave first. I will go to Mr. Yan and Mr. Yang to discuss it first. How many assistants does your Majesty think are good for you?" Lu Fang did not say much. He believed in your Majesty's judgment and believed that as long as your Majesty
When he was still one day, there was no way that he, Yan Song, could be disobedient.
"There are usually four to five people in the cabinet, which means there are three to four positions in total. So there are about ten assistants. You can choose three or four first. When you open the Enke, a group of new people will come, and you can also
Here, ability is one aspect, but the most important thing is whether his thoughts are constrained and whether he can break away from the confinement of Confucianism and implement reforms. This is the most important point."
As young people, their thoughts have not yet been finalized. Of course, if they can break out of the confinement of Confucianism, they will be even more extraordinary talents. The more the better. Anyway, Zhu Houcong is short of people. Train a few more, and he will be in various departments in the future.
There is also a chief officer.
"No." Lu Fang nodded slightly. Since His Majesty said so, he would just do it. He believed that Your Majesty's decision was absolutely correct. Your Majesty was a saint who came to this world to bring new life to the Ming Dynasty.
What he needs to do is to assist His Majesty rather than question His Majesty.
"Well, don't rush this matter. Let's call Mao Ji and Jiang Mian over first. After all, they have been working for so many years. I will give them the dignity they deserve."
Zhu Houcong is still very kind to adults who have no conflict of interest with him. Besides, good people will do their best to the end, and we don’t intend to punish them anyway, so let them take the initiative to submit their resignations. Then everyone will save face.
They all look good.
"Your Majesty is so kind and kind. There is no need to give face. They don't give face to your Majesty, so your Majesty doesn't have to worry about anything." Lu Fang still couldn't see it. Your Majesty is sometimes too kind. Since your Majesty ascended the throne,
After that, not too many people were killed. Those on death row were also taken away, and it was said that they would not be executed directly. The number of beheadings nationwide was obviously much lower, especially in the capital.
"Haha, that's all. After all, I have been working for so many years. There is hard work without credit. Forget it. I am not that evil. Besides, we are just two old men. Let's forget it. You go do your work.
.”
Zhu Houcong smiled and waved his hand, "It's not necessary at all. After all, it's just political disagreements. There's no need to kill them all. In essence, he is still a kind person, right?"
