Chapter 359: A gentleman is a friend without a party
After Zhang Ning went to the Emperor's Palace to visit Emperor Jianwen, he lived in the Senate's office and did not return to the Chu Palace for many days. The office was just the central organization of the Suzaku Army and was a place of business, but in Zhang Ning's daily life
In the office study, there are tea room for guests, bedrooms for rest, etc., which is actually a suite. There is a kitchen and a servile mate in the office. Even if you live here, you will have no worries about food and clothing, just like a hotel.
.
In his previous life, he knew that there was a kind of person who was a workaholic, who was probably devoted to work and was satisfied and happy in it; but Zhang Ning did not think that he was this kind of person. He did not forget to check the business for a day, but just wanted to have peace of mind.
It’s like a person with ordinary intellectual qualifications studying in a top-level institution, so he has to go to class on time every day to complete his homework seriously in order to keep up with his classmates. He dare not slackewer at all. He does his best so that he will not regret it.
Perhaps Zhang Ning was a genius in studying for the imperial examinations in the past, but now he is very self-aware and is not a real genius. For example, he was tricked by Yu Qian in his strategy before. There were many talented people in the Ming Dynasty, but he was not.
I hope that because of slackness, I suddenly realized it when I suddenly fail one day; the only way, in his opinion, to do everything well, you should spend time on it, that's what he does now... Do your best, even if you
If you fail to succeed in the end, there is nothing to regret. If you plan things in others and succeed in heaven, you will feel at ease.
There are some cherry trees planted in the yard, which were planted by the former owner of this house. These days, the cherry blossoms are blooming in full bloom, and the plain white flowers bloomed overnight, which is really eye-catching. No wonder the people from Dongdao later
It is indeed very beautiful to regard it as a national flower. However, it is said that the flowering period is very short and fleeting.
Zhang Ning put down his pen and was distracted. At this moment, a slim little girl walked in. It was Xu Wenjun. He was wearing a round-necked green cloth robe, with a bun on his head, and no hat. His dress was already
He was completely different from the second concubine of the royal palace. Xu Wenjun was wearing a man's outfit and bowed to him and said, "Wenjun rushed over after receiving the summons from the prince."
While saluting, she followed Zhang Ning's gaze and looked at the cherry blossoms outside the window.
Zhang Ning said: "I want to do something here recently, but I don't want the things here to be seen by others, and I also need an assistant. After thinking about it, I can only come to you. After a while, you will live here and hand over the keys.
I will give you no one can come here.”
"Yes." Xu Wenjun answered obediently.
Zhang Ning knocked the paper on the table with his finger: "If the ink is dried, it will be pasted on the wall, and the classification is marked on it."
Xu Wenjun didn't talk too much nonsense, so he came up and started helping. Zhang Ning mainly conceived one thing: how to expand the army in large quantities.
The source of troops in the past has reached its limit. The only development direction is that ordinary people in various prefectures are young and strong, which is a huge source of war potential. Due to many involvement, Zhang Ning habitually wrote down his ideas, in
On the outline paper, "The source of soldiers from each government" was written; then it was divided into two things, one was in the name of Emperor Jianwen, and the second was who did it?
The second thing is to conclude that it is the establishment of six bureaucratic systems. From the urban and rural signs of many places, soldiers, handicraftsmen, peddlers, urban people, self-cultivators and tenants in the urban and rural areas, they do not just give the task to a few people.
After that, a complete ruling machine and laws must be required, and the machine must be ensured to operate normally.
Therefore, Zhu Heng had already mentioned that setting up a bureaucratic system imitating the six ministries of the court was the only way to expand the power to break through bottlenecks. In order to achieve good operation and little resistance, Zhang Ning felt that it should be absorbed in Huguang territory.
The bureaucrats and gentry who were originally loyal to the Xuande Dynasty, and with their support, it was quite convenient to do things.
Zhang Ning had been in Yuezhou and Wuchang City many times, traveling to local officials and gentry, traveling to Yueyang Tower, reciting poems and making banquets and acting. From this he found a problem that had to be paid attention to: in this era, the horse education system
There is no market for class struggle. On the contrary, the so-called exploited people believe most are local gentry, especially local scholars and scholars. They are both landlords but are very concerned about reputation. They also do good things about building roads and paving bridges.
It is rare for real gentry to ignore the decent and blatant things that are weak.
Therefore, if a regime does not receive the support of gentry, even if its force is strong, it will definitely be evil in public opinion. In people's hearts, it will play the role of a bad guy in the play.
Zhang Ning wrote a piece of paper: Local gentry, named Xu Wenjun, posted it on the wall as a directory.
There is the simplest and most rude way to win over such people, and they are officials who truly enter the ruling center of the Xiangwang Group. If these people are given power and recognition, they will automatically protect the interests of the group, because this is also for their own sake.
Interests. Just like Wang Yu, he was originally appointed by the imperial court, but now his position is completely on the Xiangwang Group. Those scholars and officials who are famous and influential in the Shilin have huge connections, family relatives, classmates, friends, students, and have been kind to each other.
Those who win people, even those who are acquaintances, will be affected by it.
Of course, the official position is limited, so only a few people can be awarded official positions. But that doesn't matter. As long as there is a faction among the gentry that supports their own position, then those with ulterior motives will make enemies if they want to hack themselves. Anyone who has some concerns will
Think twice before acting. The faction that surrendered to the country has the support of the government and government in Huguang territory. It is obvious that there is an absolute advantage to suppress other gentry.
The list of local gentry is temporarily vacant, and Zhang Ning needs to do some more things in the future to confirm the addition of the list; but after a little thought, he wrote two notes, Wang Yu and Liang Yan.
...But of course, there are more than one party of local gentry. The gentry who are lively and lively in the local area are all ministers after Yongle. In name, they are Taizong, Renzong and his current disciples of the Xuande Dynasty, and there is actually a difficulty with the Jianwen remnants.
The barriers to be eliminated. There are too many past grudges and old grudges. It is human nature that Yu Chen, who is emotionally difficult to accept, is definitely rejected.
If forced implementation, there will be great side effects. Of course, the decision-making power is in the hands of Zhang Ning, but sometimes the ministers and domestic women have similarities: men in the Ming Dynasty were of course the head of the family at home, but there was also "wife management"
"Strict" or people who listen to women very much, because if the head of the family always acts arbitrary and ignores others, the atmosphere at home will be broken, and domestic violence may even occur... The country and the world are in a power circle
In the inner world, that kind of person is a violent king, and it is easy to separate from his subjects.
How can we make Jianwen Yuchen agree with his ideas?
Jianwen Yuchen is not a single piece, everyone wears a pair of pants. There are two big ways to divide it: one is the Xiangwang Group and the other is Jianwen Zhongchen. These two types of people cannot be completely separated, and they have been around for more than 20 years.
During the time, the connection between these people was complicated, such as Zhou Mengxiong, was he a member of the Xiangwang Group or a loyal minister of Jianwen? That's why Zhang Ning advised Yao Ji not to overstimulate Emperor Jianwen and to appease him. Otherwise, some soldiers in the Zhuque Army would inevitably return to peace.
Any relatives and friends that people on Emperor Jianwen’s side have, will be very troublesome in the end.
Thinking of this, he drew a two-way arrow between Yuchen, Jianwen and the local gentry on the outline of the file, meaning that they could check and balance each other. If the power of the local gentry became a climate within the Xiangwang Group, Zhang Ning could have a little more
Please rely entirely on the situation of Yuchen Jianwen, so that they can form a situation where they are in a situation where they are in a state of mutual restraint and fearlessness.
Among the old forces of the Xiangwang Group, there are only four factions with different positions. Among them, Zhu Heng is an old minister of the Han Palace, Wang Yu, Liang Yan, Xu Zixin and others are demoted, which is not the same. Although Zhu Heng is the leader of the staff,
But he is only powerful and his wings have not yet been formed. Only the Yao family and Zhou Mengxiong family have the strongest strength.
Zhang Ning wanted to write down the names of the two families, but he felt that they were too allergic, afraid that if someone saw these notes, he would have unnecessary misunderstandings. After thinking about it, he used the words "Tao" and "Buddha" instead.
Anyway, it’s enough to understand it yourself. Buddha represents the Yao family because Monk Yao shaved his head; Taoism is naturally the Zhou family, and of course, Zhang Ning is unknown whether Zhou Mengxiong is a Taoist.
There were too many people on both sides in the Zhuque Army. Zhang Ning relied on a group of people under the Yao family to raise an army. After Zhou Mengxiong became the commander of the Wuchang Camp, he absorbed a large number of people related to Jianwen Yuchen from all over the country
People from Changde, Changsha and other prefectures hold military and political power.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ning felt that using the Six Ministry and Nine Ministers system is easier to accept, and it is the same as the current situation of the court, which is in line with the mainstream and makes it more formal and solemn.
At present, the Hunan King regime implements a military power with priority, and military preparations are preferred, so the power of each temple minister is basically not military, and the weight is low; the ministers who follow Jianwen can be appointed as the positions of nine ministers with status but no military power, and this can also be won over by this.
The Six Divisions are more important to the hearts of the people. They are directly related to many key links such as personnel, military, money, grain, equipment, etc., and need to be arranged from various factions to achieve a balanced situation.
Zhang Ning felt a headache and took the Senate's roster file to compare with many notes on the wall for a long time. Some ideas had to be recorded on the spot so that they would not forget them if they looked back. In less than a day, more and more words were posted in the room.
.
Xu Wenjun came up to make tea. When Zhang Ning was drinking tea, he looked up and saw a book written by Ouyang Xiu on the bookshelf. He unconsciously remembered his "On the Fraternity" and probably had the argument that "a gentleman is friendly but not a party".
Zhang Ning, a writer and politician, thinks that Ouyang Xiu is somewhat idealistic. How can the world's cultivation reach the point of being a friend but not a party? How can people not collude with common interests and positions?
