As soon as Zhang Dun said these words, he felt a little regretful.
The censor of Youdu is a second-grade official who is specially used to supervise the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China. This selection is naturally made by the official officials. It is very inappropriate for me to raise objections rashly.
Especially the official who sits at the top has a resolute and courageous personality, far superior to the two former emperors of Temple and Zhemiao. If you offend him, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zhao seemed as silent as water, silent, and Zhang Dun felt even more confused.
Various past deeds show that either the officialdom does not break out, but when it breaks out, it will definitely be like thunder.
While he was feeling anxious, Zhao Si spoke.
"What do you think is wrong with Zhang Gong?"
Seeing the look on Zhang Dun's face, Zhao Si thought for a moment and decided to express his thoughts.
"Mr. Zhang, I have entrusted you with all the affairs of the country, and all the responsibilities and connections are also tied to you. Since I trust you, I must be honest with you. Otherwise, if I hide it and you hide it, you will end up misunderstanding the state affairs." .”
"Zhongshu, the two provinces under the command are closely related to the Shangshu province, and they have close contacts in the administration. To put it bluntly, Zhang Gong, you, the Grand Prime Minister, and the Situ of the Zhongshu Province, are the assistants to the government; the Sikou of the Menxia Province, the censors on the left and right, plus Going to the minister's office and guarding the left and right servants is like a squad in the army."
Zhao Si started making metaphors again.
"Mr. Zhang, you are the squad leader. Situ Xiaosu and Sikou Fan Zhonggong are the team leaders. They are the assistant to the government, the censors on the left and the servants on the left and right. They are all members of the squad. Your enemy is a member of the Song Dynasty. A series of problems need to be solved urgently by you."
"I have appointed you, Mr. Zhang, as the squad leader. I hope you will lead a group of people to charge into battle for me and the Song Dynasty. Then I must ask your opinion carefully about the configuration of this group of people. I have my own position and Consider it, but you must also take into account Mr. Zhang’s position and considerations.”
Zhang Dun had experienced the four previous emperors of Renmiao, Yingmiao, Shengshen and Zhemiao, but never had an official been so candid.
What a kind of trust this is.
Presumably it would not have been like this when the temple emperor summoned King Jinggong.
"I thank the officials for their magnanimity."
"Mr. Zhang is so polite. It's all for the sake of the Song Dynasty. Please tell me your concerns."
"He is an official. Liu Qizhi is famous for his direct remonstrance. He hates evil and is upright. These old officials all admit it. However, this person is deeply influenced by Sima Gong and is pedantic and stubborn. In his eyes, it seems that there are only a few of them in the world. The rest of the people are lacking in personal ethics and are even villains."
"In the official family, I admit that I hated Liu Qizhi very much before. The former emperor of Zhe Temple was in charge of the affairs, and I was in charge of the affairs of the family. The first thing I did was to demote Liu Qizhi from the capital. In fact, it was not all about personal hatred, but about Liu Qi's affairs. He talks about morality, but he always accuses others of being morally corrupt, and seeks favors for personal gain. But how many moral gentlemen are there in the world?"
"In name, he shouted petitions for the people and fought for the interests of the people, but he didn't know the complicated twists and turns of national politics, and he blindly took it for granted. He only knew how to hate evil and exploit the strong, but he didn't know how to support the weak and promote the good. He just cared about We want the water to be clear, but we don’t care whether it can feed the fish.”
Zhao Si nodded slowly.
"If the water is clear, there will be no fish. I understand what Zhang Gong means. It is impossible to make everyone in the world become moral gentlemen, human nature is like this. We must adhere to morality, it is the criterion for the daily life of officials and people. But everything depends on morality. It’s absolutely impossible, the law is the final bottom line of morality.”
"There are censors on the left and right, and when they exercise supervisory power, the standards they refer to are not righteousness and principles. What the public says is right and the mother-in-law says it is right, all depends on one mouth. Therefore, the standard of reference must be the law drawn up by Zhongshu Sheng and promulgated by me.
!According to what Zhang Gong said, righteousness and principle should be higher than the law in Liu Qizhi's heart, which is absolutely impossible."
Speaking of this, Zhao Si praised: "Mr. Zhang gave me a reminder. We can't blindly believe in the so-called reputation of being upright and daring to remonstrate. If his position is wrong, the more upright and daring to remonstrate, the greater the harm will be. In the end,
He has invited the world to clear his name, but he has left a mess that I and Mr. Zhang have to help him clean up."
Zhang Dun said with admiration: "The sage of the official family can see the shortcomings at a glance, and he hits the nail on the head."
Zhao Si laughed, then shook his head and laughed at himself.
"I am still a little sentimental. Liu Qizhi was recommended by Mr. Da Su, Fan Zhonggong and others. In addition, this person has a first name, so I thought of using him to monitor Shangshu Sheng and Zhang Gong. Now it seems that I really want to be biased.
Mr. Da Su and Fan Zhonggong, their starting points for thinking about things are different from mine, and they are also different from Zhang Gong."
At this point, Zhao Si stared at Zhang Dun and said with a sincere face: "Mr. Zhang, let me speak frankly. The main responsibility of the provincial procuratorate is to supervise the prime minister and the minister. But I want to
What it shows is that the purpose of supervision is to discover the mistakes made by Zhang Gong and Shangshu Sheng in the governance process."
"No one is perfect, and everyone can make mistakes when doing things. And people have different minds. I believe in the integrity of Zhang Gong, I believe in the integrity of Pu She, Shangshu and others, but what about other people? Those who do specific things will
Don’t know how to adhere to ethics? So I have to use the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise the ministers, provinces and localities.”
"Mr. Zhang, this is what I call the gentleman first, the villain later. I will explain all the rules clearly, and then the principles will be principles and the law will be the law."
Zhang Dun replied respectfully: "I understand what the officials mean. This is the official's mind and tolerance, and they truly treat each other with sincerity."
Zhao Si waved his hand and smiled, "Mr. Zhang, we have reached an agreement. Liu Anshi is not suitable to be the censor of Youdu."
"The official sage could tell at a glance that Liu Qizhi wanted to invite his name directly..."
"No," Zhao Si interrupted Zhang Dun, "Mr. Zhang, after you reminded me, I just thought about Liu Anshi's past and realized something. Liu Anshi didn't care about fame and fortune, he was more arrogant, the arrogance of Confucian scholars and celebrities.
.They read the books of sages and strictly discipline themselves, and then they feel that they have mastered the truth in the world and think that they are the arbiter of moral good and evil in the world. This is a kind of arrogance, and like ignorance, it is an unforgivable sin."
After saying that, Zhao Si turned around and asked: "Mr. Zhang, what suggestions do you have for the candidate for the censor of Youdu?"
Zhang Dun already had a suitable candidate, Lu Huiqing.
He knew very well how powerful this person was.
From the conversation just now, Zhang Dun had already guessed that the officials would use Lu Huiqing as one of their servants and his deputy.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, Zhang Dun would rather move him to the Metropolitan Procuratorate than let him stay under his command and affect his authority and orders in the Shangshu Province.
But I just heard that officials said that Liu Anshi's biggest problem was his arrogance, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, he had already developed seven exquisite orifices in his heart.
These words are talking about Liu Anshi, but are they not knocking himself?
Zhang Dun lowered his head and said respectfully: "The censor of Youdu has important responsibilities, and I dare not speak nonsense."
Zhao Si looked at him and said slowly: "Then please invite Mr. Botong to be the censor of Youdu."
Mr. Bertong, He Zhizhong?
This person is talented and knowledgeable, and he was once the emperor's teacher, so he has sufficient qualifications. What's more important is that he is cautious and fearless, and he will follow his ideas. At this moment, Zhang Dun fully understood the deep meaning of Zhao Si's plan.
After the adjutant of the provincial governor finished speaking, Zhao Si began to talk about the left and right servants of the minister's province.
"I intend to use Mr. Jifu (Lu Huiqing) as the left servant and Mr. Anzhong (Huang Lu) as the right servant, as Mr. Zhang's right-hand man. What do you think?"
Sure enough, arrange a nail, and then arrange someone to listen to you.
The methods of the officials were much better than those of the two late emperors.
Zhang Dun said calmly: "Guan family, what about Xu Chongyuan (General Xu)? He was originally the minister of Zhongshu and one of the same prime ministers. I don't know how the officials will arrange for him?"
"Xu Gong has successively served as a local central committee and achieved great achievements. He became the Prime Minister and supported Jieyao. I originally wanted to entrust him with the Privy Council, but I didn't want someone to come out and say that he was connected with Xing Shu. I could only reluctantly part ways with him. I and Xu Gong
We have talked about it and hope to ask him to come out of Hebei to preside over major military and political reforms in Hebei, and to preside over the large-scale repair of the northern section of the Yellow River. Xu Gong readily agreed."
Zhang Dun knew that General Xu had lost his mind at the end of last year and actually moved closer to the King of Wu.
It doesn't matter if they are close to the King of Wu. Cai Jing, Liu Zhengfu and others are also close to the King of Wu and still secure their official positions. The key is that General Xu secretly exchanged a few letters with Xing Shu.
Xing Shu was the strategist behind the scenes of King Wu, the mastermind behind the attack on the Ruchang Station, and the false accusation against Su Gui. Zhang Dun thought that he would not be able to escape the death penalty.
However, after Xing Shu was escorted back to Beijing, he has been detained in the No. 1 Model Prison of the Police Department. It was said that he would wait until the reorganization of Dali Temple was completed before he could be tried.
The items used to make the new sacrificial flag are clearly stated.
Zhang Dun couldn't help but think of another person from Xing Shu.
"Guan family, Cai Yuandu has been ordered to return to Beijing. I don't know how to arrange it?"
"I want to make him my secretary and minister, and Mr. Yuando happily agrees."
The official family actually appointed Cai Bian as the minister and the secretary in charge? Zhang Dun's expression became very exciting.
