Zhang Juzheng did not mean this at first. Because Zhu Yijun guided the topic, he said the word "man-made disaster" first. At this time, the emperor's murderous intention was revealed, but he could not retreat.
He had no choice but to follow the words and said: "Yes, I would like to invite a meeting to review the Ningcuitian project case. The officials from Jinyiwei Hall and Dongchang will send personnel to attend."
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he changed the subject without saying whether he agreed or disagreed, and said: "In project supervision, officials have always been prone to bribery and corruption. "The Biography" says: 'The failure of the country is due to official corruption.' Old sir, these officials are responsible for corruption.
It won’t work without governance.”
Zhang Juzheng responded: "What the emperor said is that if the officials are not honest, the governance will decline. I also know that the people's livelihood is closely related to the virtuous officials in governance, but only by passing the test can the results be effective. If the officials are annoyed, if there is a large-scale anti-corruption campaign, it may cause turmoil.
.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly twice. Then he strengthened his will and said sternly: "Although our dynasty has strict laws, they are just empty words now, and greedy and lewd people have no scruples. If things go on like this, the methods used in the examination will also become a method that harms the people.
At that time, where can we, the monarch and his ministers, retreat? At this moment, there is no way to retreat. We can only fight through the thorns and thorns to break through this fog!"
When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he overturned the five-flavor bottle in his heart. In fact, he didn't want to rectify the official administration. The "Chen Liu Shi Shu" he wrote during the Longqing period basically focused on the reform ideas of personnel and official administration.
However, as a politician, Zhang Juzheng has always adhered to the principle of "observe before planning, plan before taking action, think long and far-sighted, and all plans will be right." At this time, it had just been a year since the law was passed, and he was bound to encounter countercurrents when he implemented an anti-corruption plan.
Zhang Juzheng was not afraid of going against the current. When the platform called him, Zhang Juzheng had already told Zhu Yijun that "all the matters behind him will be paid to Queru."
Regardless of whether his position at the time was true or false, what Zhang Juzheng was thinking about at this time was, if the anti-corruption campaign leads to political instability, can the emperor withstand it? Can the queen mother withstand it? These issues require in-depth investigation. If you are not sure, you should never take it lightly.
hair.
Although he heard Zhu Yijun's determined statement, Zhang Juzheng still advised: "Your Majesty, we cannot relax our efforts to fight corruption and promote integrity, but we are not in a hurry to launch reforms. In my opinion, the people employed in the court at this time still need to be selected by the public, responsible for their performance, and executed."
"Long-term appointment, strict inspection", everything should be based on actual merit, no false reputation, no swaying of reputation, no mixed feelings of love and hate, no one thing to sum up a life, no one thing (note: Sheng, cataract, extended to a fault)
Covering the Great Festival. The emperor is interested in the light of the kingdom, and this is what it means."
When Zhu Yijun heard Zhang Juzheng use Wang Guoguang as an example, he laughed and said: "The old gentleman is just like me, both are utilitarian."
Seeing that he had calmed down, Zhang Juzheng thought that the emperor's worries had calmed down, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the official system is declining day by day, and the people's puppets are becoming more and more corrupt. Three feet of ice is not frozen in a day. Good habits will last for a long time, and the vigor will be strengthened."
It's difficult; it's hard to do anything with a cold face, and it's scary to talk nonsense."
"At this time, it is not necessary to make a big fanfare, but to discuss the matter. In the sixth year of Longqing, the imperial court had implemented Beijing inspections and external inspections. According to the rule of one Beijing inspection every six years and one outer inspection every three years, if the imperial concubine was killed and another inspection was carried out, I would
I'm afraid that all the officials will not care about the matter, and will only focus on the camp."
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he smiled and said: "My intention is not to inspect in the capital, but in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The imperial court specially appoints a censor to correct the case in a scientific and ethical manner, but I am not satisfied with the results. After hearing about the report, the six subjects and thirteen subjects were involved.
Whether the official defends or criticizes, it is all empty and empty."
Zhang Juzheng listened and couldn't believe his ears. He opened his mouth to listen to Zhu Yijun continue: "I want to expand the Metropolitan Procuratorate and change the bad rule of one person in each district to be responsible for picketing. There will be at least eight people in each district, and the power of inspection and investigation will be added.
Part of the Jinyi Guards is located under the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
After Zhang Juzheng heard this, he found it incredible. He didn't think it through for a while, and subconsciously asked: "The Jin Yiwei is the army, and the Imperial Procuratorate is the civil servant. How can they be mixed?"
Zhu Yijun changed the topic again and said: "Although Dongchang was established by Chengzu, he has been quarreling with the courtiers for hundreds of years. I want to merge Dongchang and Jinyiwei, reestablish the Jinyi Guards, and take charge of the Yiwei Chenju and Lu
There are two internal intelligence bureaus, which are in charge of domestic intelligence affairs, and the next section of the bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate; the first military intelligence bureau is in charge of military intelligence affairs and is shared with the Ministry of War; and the first supervisory bureau is in charge of military intelligence affairs.
The Jinyi pro-army has internal supervision. There are two commanders, divided between internal officials and nobles. I want to achieve the effect of unifying the intelligence by launching a revolution like this."
Zhang Juzheng was shaken after hearing this. Zhu Yijun planned to cut down Dongchang, which was the greatest virtue policy since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Zhang Juzheng lived in three dynasties. Recently, he often compares Zhu Yijun with Shizong and Mu Zong. Compared with Shizong, his biggest characteristic is that he does not use power to govern and mostly acts on the right path. Although he occasionally has sudden and unreasonable thoughts, but check his true intention
, leaning towards the country and the people’s livelihood.
Compared with Mu Zong, Zhu Yijun was diligent, frugal, self-denial, and worked hard to govern, so he could not even see the shadow of Mu Zong. In terms of character, he was resolute and determined, and acted upon decisions. Compared with Mu Zong, who was sensitive and inferior, like raking his ears, the difference was even more unreasonable.
count.
Zhu Yijun was still young at this time. If he could persevere, Zhang Juzheng would dare to point to the sky and say: "Since Taizu, the only person who can revitalize China is today."
Although this Mingjun has many benefits, as the deputy minister of government, Zhang Juzheng is more than 30% tired than before.
In the original time and space, in the third year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng invited Zhang Siwei to join the cabinet to share government affairs. After Zhang Siwei joined the cabinet, he became Zhang Juzheng's doormat and child bride.
However, in this time and space, because Zhu Yijun was diligent and hard-working and had no food and clothing until the end of the day, Zhang Juzheng couldn't stand it at the beginning of the second year of Wanli. Following the emperor's hint, he promoted Wang Guoguang to become a bachelor of Dongge.
Moreover, as he himself said, the emperor is a utilitarian person. If he wants to take something, he must give it first. Once this virtuous policy comes out, there will be a follow-up.
Following the emperor's words, Zhang Juzheng asked: "With the establishment of four bureaus and two commanders, how will the emperor be in charge?"
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he smiled and said: "My royal family, Hou Xun's family, and the court are all equipped with honor guards, but I don't have any. Isn't this a weird thing - I want to set up a chamber of servants and select a number of nobles, civil servants, military generals, and internal officials.
The title of Lord Chancellor is my eyes, ears and hands. This position of Lord Chancellor is chosen from a noble family - I prefer the British Duke."
Zhu Yijun rationalized his thoughts and then said: "The candidates for the Attendant's Office, Hanlin officials account for 30%, and are recommended by the cabinet. At this time, among the governors in the world, those who are young and powerful and want to be used in the future can be recommended by the ministers; the military attachés will be selected from martial arts;
I can choose the officer myself." After saying that, he briefly talked about the duties and functions of the attendant's room which are similar to "Taiwan Balm".
Zhang Juzheng never expected that the emperor would make such a fuss by taking advantage of the death of Concubine Qi! He secretly suspected that the emperor sent someone to break the beam?
Since Zhu Yijun traveled through time, he has often thought deeply about the gains and losses of strengthening imperial power in the past dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power was fiercely contested. The emperors of all dynasties always oscillated between the ceremonial supervisor and the cabinet. They never wanted to mix various political forces and put them under the emperor's control.
It's a pity under the palm of my hand.
The technique of swinging and balancing was a good method in peacetime. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the large-scale party strife in the court also developed to the extreme - the imperial power was completely out of control, which was an important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
After thinking about it for more than a year, Zhu Yijun believed that the bodyguard system established in the Qing Dynasty largely replaced the functions of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and achieved the ultimate in feudal society in strengthening imperial power.
Other conditions are not yet mature, let alone mentioning them. Zhu Yijun had previously restructured some departments and supervisors, but he had just laid a foundation.
However, in later generations, Chang Kaishen learned from the old wisdom of the Qing Dynasty and set up an attendant's room. Zhu Yijun may be able to learn a thing or two from it in terms of strengthening the function of the central government.
After the Great War in the Central Plains, Chang Kaishen was able to gather a bunch of scattered local warlords under the central government. In addition to having the great cause of resisting foreign aggression, the attendant's room played a big role. Zhu Yijun thought for many days and took advantage of the death of Concubine Qi.
, rip off Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng listened to the emperor's plan and thought that it was true. He first gave him a date and then slapped him in the face. The establishment of this attendant's room must divide the power of the cabinet. This is a lice on the bald head, it is obvious.
The emperor selected the best among the civil servants, military officers, nobles, and internal officials of the imperial court as his confidants. In the future, they would be sent to six ministries and localities, and they would be of great use. No wonder the emperor had previously proposed to learn from Renzong and establish a secret memorial system. It turned out that there was such a thing
A big article is waiting here. This emperor is really scheming.
The whole country, more than ten years later, will be the emperor's mentor, and they can directly control it with silver medals. If Nanhaizi's martial arts is used to seize military power, and Huangdian and Huangchang are used to seize independent financial power - the emperor's rule is really like iron.
It's like a barrel. When the time comes to point out the country, it will be like an arm pointing.
If the emperor successfully completes this reform, it may be possible to realize the original intention of establishing the cabinet: to "consult advisors and participate in military affairs" for the emperor. When Zhang Juzheng thought of this, he didn't know what it felt like.
Zhu Yijun's eyes were bright, as if he could see through Zhang Juzheng's thoughts, and he smiled and said: "If the world is in great peace, I also have the idea of restoring the system of prime minister for the sake of future generations. This is a story for later, so I won't mention it for now."
Zhang Juzheng's heart skipped a beat, thinking that after the emperor slapped him, he drew a cake again. Although he knew that the emperor was drawing a cake, Zhang Juzheng still lost his sense of peace, thinking that this is the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, the Prime Minister!
I was in a state of confusion when I suddenly heard someone coughing slightly from behind the screen, and then a female voice said: "Why did the investigation of Ningcui Palace involve the prime minister?"
