"It is announced that any official in Beijing who violates the leave limit and who has been ill for more than one year will be dismissed from official service."
Zhu Shou's combination of punches struck like a meteor, leaving all the major factions in the court stunned.
It's not that I don't understand, it's just that Long Live has changed too quickly, and all the big guys can only lament.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the welfare policy of civil servants was very good, and the happiness index was absolutely overwhelming. If future generations of CCAV interviewed the officials at that time, everyone would say that they were very happy, and there would never be "I am here to make soy sauce" or "I
Answers such as "My surname is Cao, not Fu" appeared.
As mentioned above, Boss Liu was accused of being a powerful traitor just because he worked longer hours, which would become a major crime for his murder in the future.
Now that the emperor wants to clear out those officials who are occupying the toilet, he has stirred up a hornet's nest.
Throughout the dynasties, administrative agencies have been overstaffed. There are countless people who receive a salary every month but never go to work or even show their faces.
If you just pick up any state agency, you can find a large number of people with such connections.
This will be the case hundreds of years later, and the Ming Dynasty is no exception. There are so many court officials asking for leave and sick, that they can be queued from East Chang'an Street to West Chang'an Street.
So Zhu Shou was cruel: Anyone who doesn't work, get out of here!
In fact, he had no idea of completing this matter. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are also tricks. Not to mention his short few decades, even if God allows him to live another five hundred years, it will be like "I
Just like the little pockmarks of the Qing Dynasty, he had nothing to do with these officials.
Zhu Shou's imperial edict focused on the handling of Chen Jin's case.
Didn’t Chen Jin use his money to buy the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing from Concubine Wang Zhao? He was also considered a capital official. This rich and handsome Master Chen’s biggest hobby was to exchange experiences and feelings with brothel girls. He traveled all the way south from Guangxi to take up the post in the court.
He actually just arrived in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province during the handover time specified by the court. So he took a leave of absence and spent the whole day looking at the Yangtze River in a daze with a group of fellow poets, and wrote countless limericks.
In Chen Jin's view, it is not a big problem whether he takes office or not. Anyway, the biggest job of Nanjing's minister is to wait for a cup of tea.
His idea was not wrong at all, the only thing wrong was meeting Zhu Shou.
His little wife had violated the court's political bottom line. Even if Zhu Shou didn't know it at the time, everyone from Queen Mother Zhang to Boss Liu would tell him the correct solution.
There is no family affection in the Tian family. This may not be true when it comes to Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhu Houzhao. But it is very appropriate when it comes to Empress Dowager Zhang and her several daughters-in-law.
At the beginning of the first month of the first year, Empress Dowager Zhang issued an order to kill two of Wang Zhaofei's personal eunuchs with a cane. She also sent several of the royal cousins who collected money for Wang Zhaofei to the imperial prison of Jinyiwei. The next day, these people died violently in prison.
middle.
Boss Liu acted more tactfully. He just asked Jiao Fang to take action and abolish the official position of a cousin of Concubine Wang Zhao. After all, Zhu Shou had not expressed his dissatisfaction with Concubine Wang Zhao and was still with her every day. From this point of view,
Liu and Wang are still political allies.
If you don't want to break your heart, Boss Liu will never break his face.
Both my mother and my younger brother had set a good example. Naturally, Zhu Shou could no longer pretend to be ignorant, so he had to say to the people of the Ming Dynasty: Look, I dare to hit my own wife in the face. Doesn’t that count as a coward?
That's what he thought, but Zhu Shou couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief: Why should I force myself to beat my wife just for the sake of a false reputation as a wise man?
Therefore, what was originally a simple decree to abolish Chen Jin's official position was turned into a political rectification in the Ming Dynasty.
However, due to his decree, too many people were unjustly killed. For a while, the big bosses did not dare to refute it, so they had to wait for the emperor's anger to subside, and then slowly return to the original state.
After issuing the edict and uttering a bad breath, Zhu Shou sat on the dragon chair, feeling a little unmotivated...
"Zhao'er, you are very similar to your father, but you are a little soft-hearted." At last night's family banquet, Empress Dowager Zhang took Zhu Shou's hand and said softly and kindly, "But there are four points. You are
It must be passed."
Empress Dowager Zhang, who was able to create miracles in the history of Chinese emperors, was by no means a simple woman. She usually lived in seclusion, dressed in ordinary clothes, and ate simply, just like a middle-aged folk woman.
But the entire palace is under her control; the entire Ming Dynasty is also under her eyes.
Some women, every day, think about Prince Charming coming to rescue her from the sea of misery and stage a counterattack of the female hanging silk, but they have never thought about why Prince Charming falls in love with them. Are they expecting his head to be caught between the door panels?
Already?
Empress Dowager Zhang is not a competent queen or empress dowager, but she is definitely a competent daughter, sister, wife and mother.
In the past, Zhu Houzhao was playful and mischievous, but she never restrained him and doted on him beyond measure. Now Zhu Shou is running a military academy, opening a seaport, and is determined to open up the world. As a mother, the Empress Dowager Zhang is naturally willing to serve as the emperor's first imperial tutor.
.
"Which four levels?" Zhu Shou is different from the previous Zhu Houzhao. The otaku hopes that he can become a qualified emperor instead of a little loser who messes around.
"The first level is balance," Empress Dowager Zhang said slowly, "You already have some firepower, and you will be mature in a few years."
She used to tell her son with a broken jade Ruyi that there must be many factions in the court, whether they are traitors or loyal ministers, they must be given room to live. One party cannot be allowed to stand out, let alone the factions be unbalanced.
When you defeat a faction, you must cultivate a new substitute. When you weaken a faction, you must also weaken its most direct competitor accordingly.
In today's court, the Liu Party is the dominant party, so more Party Li and Party Yang should be cultivated, but before the decline of the Liu Party, the Li and Yang parties must not be allowed to monopolize the government.
Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang must not be allowed to become the same faction. This is the central argument of Empress Dowager Zhang.
But Li Dongyang accepted Yang Shen as his student, and the two factions had the foundation for an alliance. How to break it?
It's very simple, train Yang Shen so that he is not attached to Li Dongyang, and even when the time is right, he can become his father's gravedigger.
Some people would say that since the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had supreme authority, it would be better to train a new one to avoid such human tragedy as father and son killing each other.
In the official history, the experiences of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin can tell us: favorite ministers can always only be favorite ministers. From the moment they dominate the world to the end of their lives, they are nothing more than dolls in the hands of the civil servants.
Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, the only people who could regard the civil servant group as dolls were the father and son Chong Bage and Ming Chengzu. The seven most useful weapons of the civil servant group were of no use to them. Heroes who could kill the world into rivers of blood.
Characters, what else is scary?
All palace battles, scheming, strategies, and tactics are all just side dishes in front of the absolute force of this father and son.
Brother Chongba: Kill hundreds of thousands of people and they will become honest.
Zhu Di deeply agreed with his father's point of view and carried it forward: If you still refuse to accept the punishment of the nine tribes, then I will punish the ten tribes of you!
However, by the middle of the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Shou was living, the overall power of the civil service group had become frighteningly strong, and it was no longer possible for the emperor to contend with the entire civil service group alone.
If the imperial power wants to be implemented, the civil service group must be divided into several factions to make profits. If you want to save trouble, you can cultivate a number of internal officials and powerful traitors, such as the Eight Tigers.
Preventing one faction from having a monopoly is the core of balance.
"What about the second level?" In front of Empress Dowager Zhang, somehow Zhu Shou was able to let go of his guard and be a good student...
Perhaps it was the unique temperament of Queen Mother Zhang that made Zhu Shou feel a real sense of family warmth.
"The unkindness of heaven and earth," said the Queen Mother Zhang, "is the second level."
Although Zhu Shou had not systematically read Confucian and Taoist classics, Zhu Houzhao had received these educations since he was a child. Therefore, when Empress Dowager Zhang said, Zhu Shou understood: I am teaching me to be cruel and ruthless.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the third generation Emperor Jianwen, were born and raised in the hands of palace maids and became very effeminate.
The so-called first generation is a dragon, the second generation is a tiger, and the third and fourth generations all dig into the earth.
Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Hongxi (i.e. Renzong of the Ming Dynasty), one was a bookworm who was stupid in reading, and the other was a fat and sickly fat man. These two cousins had one thing in common: they were kind-hearted and kind-hearted.
So the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty changed the iron-blooded policy of Chong Bage and his son and became more feminine.
Even Emperor Jiajing, who had the most imperial methods, was not too ruthless and his hands were not ruthless. He would be "feeling satisfied" after killing thousands of people.
Empress Dowager Zhang's knowledge and character, seriously speaking, among the concubines of the Ming Dynasty, she was firmly below Empress Taizu Ma, winning the silver medal, and beating the third place by several universes.
She was knowledgeable and able to win Xiaozong's favor alone.
She has a good character. After Jiajing ascended the throne, her two unsatisfactory brothers committed an offense, so she knelt in front of Jiajing and begged bitterly.
Being able to compromise and compromise is political foresight. However, she was very unlucky. Her son died young and she had no grandchildren, so she had to let Jiajing pick up a big wallet. Unexpectedly, Jiajing was a white-eyed wolf and not only poured dirty water on her head
, saying that she bullied her mother and often punished her, and finally made her die of illness and loneliness.
However, this is the general trend of the world, and even Empress Dowager Zhang has no choice but to do anything.
What she taught Zhu Shou was not the Tao Te Ching, which was castrated and interpreted by later corrupt scholars, but the original meaning of this sentence: In front of heaven and earth, nothing is worth mentioning.
The great love of heaven and earth, the great love of saints, are all nonsense. Love goes to the depths so there is no love. It is not like in martial arts novels that there is no knife in the hand, but there is a knife in the heart. The rotten scholars explain this just to give the saint some moral cloak.
Just to deceive the ignorant people.
"The heaven and the earth are unkind, and treat all things as stupid dogs; the saints are unkind, and regard the common people as stupid dogs. Between the heaven and the earth, is it like a chariot? It is empty and unyielding, and the more it moves, the more it comes out. It is better to keep the center when talking too much."
This sentence, combined with the context, simply means: Heaven and earth, including saints, all have their own laws of operation, and the law of the jungle is the law. Don't try to change it, because you can't change it. The more you do,
The more mistakes you make, the more mistakes you make. So let’s be honest, be a tiger when you should be a tiger, and be a mouse when you should be a mouse.
As the legal heir of heaven and earth in the world, and as a saint, the emperor should be born to be the most powerful tiger, treating the subjects below him as objects of blood.
Hearing this, Zhu Shou was confused again. Didn't the history books say: Only by loving the people like a son can the world be governed and the world peaceful, and an emperor who is poisoned by tigers and does not eat his children is a wise and virtuous emperor?
How come my mother, the wisest Empress Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, and the unique Empress Dowager Zhang in Chinese history, actually said these words?
