Even in his previous life, Zhu Qiyu already knew the ministers in front of him very well.
However, after he ascended the throne in this life, he continued to run into these people.
People are not static.
Especially the group of ministers in front of him, all of whom have stood out from the cruel scientific examinations, have been in the officialdom for decades, and have accumulated countless experiences.
Each of them has his or her own characteristics, personality and ideas, which constitute their political background.
However, putting all this aside, Zhu Qiyu knows very well that the strongest abilities of these people are actually their ability to learn and adapt.
Take Chen Xun as an example. He was originally from Qingliu in his early years. He moved from the Hanlin Academy to the cabinet and had almost no local experience. However, since he took over the Ministry of Crafts, he has been involved in the follow-up matters of the restructuring of craftsmen households, the construction of large canals, and even
There are few mistakes in the construction of various projects.
This is of course because people of their status basically do not need to personally deal with specific details, but more importantly, Chen Xun himself is a person with a strong learning ability.
When he first took up the post of Minister of the Ministry of Works, it was obvious that he was unfamiliar with many of the Ministry of Works drawings and project details.
At that time, when he was in charge of the Ministry of Industry, he relied more on his ability to recognize people and employ people.
However, after returning from a river repair operation, in just half a year, his abilities in this area had been completely replenished. When he was facing off against Zhu Qiyu, he knew all the numbers, details, and drawings clearly in his mind.
Such terrifying learning ability is almost standard for these ministers.
In addition, another powerful ability they have is adaptability.
To put it simply, these people will adjust their practices, methods, and even temperaments according to the situation.
To be honest, Zhu Qiyu in his previous life was a bit cowardly and a bit perverse. He clearly knew that his throne was unstable, and he also clearly understood that his ability to govern the country was not enough.
Therefore, he neither wants to delegate power but has to delegate power.
At the same time, he has always had a vague sense of inferiority in his heart, which is determined by his background and ability. This inferiority, when expressed externally, is arrogant and self-centered.
This resulted in him being overly stubborn on some matters.
In addition to the incident of deposing the crown prince, there are many other examples. For example, at the sutra banquet, he threw money on the ground for a long time and watched the Qingliu ministers who were giving lectures leaning over to pick up the money...
This is essentially a manifestation of inner inferiority.
As an emperor, his contradictory personality not only affects himself, but also affects the people around him, and even affects the ministers who deal with him every day.
At that time, although most of the people who could stay by his side were still these people, their methods of doing things and their temperaments were very different from now.
Even the most stubborn Yu Qian, in his previous life, often spoke softly in front of him and rarely contradicted him. Of course, the disadvantage is that Yu Qian is more 'authoritative'. Facing the current Zhu Qiyu, if Yu Qian is dissatisfied, he will directly
It's a mistake to stab the king.
However, in his previous life, Yu Qian had always been a person who paid great attention to playing skills. To put it simply, he treated Zhu Qiyu as an ignorant young man.
See again in a few days.
The same goes for other ministers.
So in fact, when Zhu Qiyu now recalls his past life, he will discover many details that he had not noticed before.
These ministers seemed to be very respectful to him, but in fact, most of the time, they were just accompanying him and coaxing him.
In a sense, he and Zhu Qizhen at that time were actually children who liked to play nonsense.
It's just that his kind of nonsense is acceptable nonsense, and it's just nonsense that he knows how much he has.
Essentially, there's not much difference.
He is like this. It is normal for the ministers below him to take advantage of his youth and fight secretly for their own benefit.
When he came back to the throne in this life, he learned the lessons of his previous life. From the beginning, what he showed to the ministers was a man who was tolerant and kind, but able to make up his mind on major matters. He understood the situation of the court but was cautious and independent.
The self-disciplined emperor.
In this way, the ministers below will naturally change with him.
Because of this, even with the knowledge of his previous life, Zhu Qiyu often did not dare to take them lightly and completely equated these people with their previous lives.
This is also the reason why he constantly expresses his thoughts, opinions and concepts to these ministers bit by bit.
Frankly speaking, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
This group of ministers have been up and down in the court for many years. They cannot be changed by saying a few words or even making a few gestures.
What can really change them is the long-lasting, subtle influence bit by bit.
It should be said that after more than two years, it has actually achieved initial results.
At least, on many things, their monarch and his ministers have slowly reached a tacit understanding.
But, it's not enough!
Looking at the expressions of the ministers below, Zhu Qiyu understood that they clearly did not believe what he had just said.
In fact, they may even think that he did this to give Wang Wen a step down.
However, this cannot be rushed.
The days are still long...
"Tianguan, let's continue. In addition to the investigation of people involved with Wang Zhen as mentioned just now, are there any other measures that can change the atmosphere in the court?"
Zhu Qiyu also had clear rewards and punishments. He supported Lao Wangtou, so the old guy had to work.
Therefore, after glancing at the ministers below, Zhu Qiyu finally named Wang Wen.
Fortunately, this Lord Tianguan was indeed not a freeloader. He was interrupted by Chen Yi before he finished speaking. At this moment, the emperor called his name again, which was in line with his wishes.
After bowing his hands in a salute, Wang Wen said seriously.
"Your Majesty, in addition to re-investigating the officials who were previously related to Wang Zhen, I believe that in order to clarify the official atmosphere, more importantly, I want to encourage people to speak out."
As he spoke, Wang Wen glanced sideways at Chen Yi, seemingly unwilling to do so, but in the end, he still spoke.
"Nowadays, one of the reasons why officials in the DPRK and the Central Government keep silent, prefer to protect each other, and dare not uphold justice for the country and democracy is because of science and technology!"
These words are in line with Wang Wen's character of seeking revenge.
However, the strange thing is that when Wang Wen said this, he not only did not have the usual high-spiritedness when scolding others, but also showed a bit of reluctance.
On the contrary, Chen Yi's face was very calm even though he was clearly the one being blamed.
As for the reason...
All the ministers present were not fools. As soon as Wang Wen mentioned the name of Ke Dao, they immediately remembered the punishment the emperor had given to the Ministry of Personnel and the Imperial Procuratorate in the palace.
Naturally, I understood Wang Wen's depression at the moment.
However, despite being depressed, Wang Tianguan would not lose his ability to scold others and would just say it bluntly.
"Since the time of Emperor Taizu, the imperial court has always been strict with people, in order to smooth the flow of speech and clarify the atmosphere of the imperial court."
“But now, I don’t know since when, the officials of science and education have lost all character. They dare not redress grievances, dare not impeach them when there is chaos, dare not remonstrate with treacherous people, and dare not speak out despite the decadence of the officialdom.
As a result, the imperial court has fallen to this point, and Ke Dao must bear the unshirkable responsibility!"
It should be said that this is correct, but it is incomplete.
Chen Yi on the side also had a serious look on his face, without any intention of refuting.
At this time, Chen Xun on the side glanced at the two of them and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, what Master Tianguan said is reasonable. The atmosphere in the court is such that the admonishing officials dare not speak out. They indeed have their responsibilities."
"However, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Kedao."
"Previously, Wang Zhen was in power and suppressed the scientific community. Those who dared to speak out were either suppressed and sidelined, or demoted and transferred. Moreover, Wang Zhen acted in the name of the emperor. If the scientific community went too far, he would be impeached and remonstrated.
It is suspected of offending your Majesty."
"After His Majesty ascended the throne, although he revitalized the science and technology, after all, too many officials were lost in the civil war. In addition, with the inspection of the capital and the rectification of military camps, the science and technology were incomplete on the one hand, and they went to various places to do things, making it difficult to speak out in the court.
, which is also excusable.”
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!"
This is quite implicit, but the fact is that when Wang Zhen was in power, he actually cleaned up the bad guys in Ke Dao and inserted many of his own people into Ke Dao.
Later, during the Civil War, a number of people died in Kedao. After the emperor ascended the throne, the Ministry of Civil Affairs inspected the area and swept out another group of people.
In fact, the feud between the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was forged at that time.
Later, the incident that Luo Tong caused was more or less implicated in Ke Dao.
This directly led to serious vacancies in Kedao.
Although since the reorganization of military camps began, with the support of the Ministry of War and the Emperor, many people have joined Kedao.
However, on the one hand, they have relatively low qualifications, and on the other hand, after they took office, they were sent directly to the local area to clean up their land, and they have not returned yet.
And if nothing else happens, they will not be able to come back before the reorganization of the military camp is completed.
All these reasons came together to create the current situation.
Therefore, the responsibility does lie with Ke Dao, but the fault cannot be entirely attributed to Ke Dao.
However, Wang Wen was not easy to deal with. Faced with Chen Xun's "fair words", he criticized him unceremoniously.
"The imperial court established Fengxian officials to oversee the affairs of hundreds of departments, and used six subjects to control six ministries. Thirteen Dao patrolled the world and corrected official evil in the court. This is the original intention of the Ke Dao."
"However, in today's science and technology, officials dare not correct evil, and traitors dare not detect. They talk about the heavenly family and slander the court, but they are good at it."
"It is true that there is a serious shortage of officials in Kedao today, but how many of the current Kedao officials can dare to say that they are loyal to their duties and dare to speak out for the world?"
Therefore, no matter how well the ministers in the court knew about Wang Wen's political ability, they still reminded themselves not to be fooled by Wang Wen's usual reckless behavior.
But in fact, they still inevitably despised Wang Wen unconsciously because of his frequent impulsiveness.
Take the scene in front of you as an example.
Everyone felt that Wang Wen could not make waves. Although he was blaming Ke Dao, he would definitely not be able to cause any trouble in the end.
But it was because everyone thought so that Wang Wen had the opportunity to show off his talents...
In fact, when the words "discussing about the heavenly family" are spoken.
The expressions of the ministers on the side have changed somewhat, especially Chen Yi, whose expression suddenly became ugly.
However, Wang Wen obviously had no intention of stopping, and his words were still sharp, saying.
"Feng Xianguan supervises Baisi, and his duty is to correct officials and clarify their conduct. It is said that literary admonishment and military warfare are deadly. When Wang Zhen was in power, all the officials knew that he had violated Taizu's prohibition, deceived the emperor, and harmed the country with his monopoly.
, but I dare not have the intention to remonstrate to death."
"On the contrary, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has deceived Your Majesty into being kind and generous, and has repeatedly interfered in the affairs of the Heavenly Family. From the return of the Supreme Emperor to the return of His Majesty the Crown Prince, to the election, even whether His Majesty is denying the province, he has been talking about it day and night."
"I don't dare to speak up about anything in the court, but when there is any disturbance in the palace, you all become very active, which makes me almost think that the supervision of science and education is not by the various departments, but by the Tianjia!"
When it comes to yin and yang, Mr. Wang has never lost when he was scolded in person!
After saying this, the Wenhua Palace suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.
Wang Wen is still Wang Wen!
Is what he said correct?
right!
Not right either!
Indeed, in the past two years, Ke Dao has been talking a lot about the relationship between the Tian family. Wang Wen's words are a bit exaggerated, but they are basically true.
It is true that if there is any disturbance in the palace, there will be discussions and rumors in the outer court, and a considerable number of them are Kedao Yanguan.
However, the reason for this is not as simple as the science practitioners being busy with things.
This is the consensus among the courtiers that the Tian family has no self-interest.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, everything related to the emperor is a court matter, not to mention that the current situation in the family is complicated and it is normal for the courtiers to have their own opinions.
In addition, Wang Zhen's abuse of power actually served as a warning to the courtiers. Therefore, strengthening the advice and remonstrance to the monarch also had this factor.
Of course, as Wang Wen said, the emperor was always merciful to his subordinates, which was one of the reasons why they dared to do this.
Therefore, it is difficult to say whether this change is right or wrong.
However, even if there is some truth in it, it is obviously indefensible in this situation.
This is the brilliance of Wang Wen!
Since the emperor wants to change the atmosphere of officialdom, then scientific education is an indispensable part
Therefore, even if Wang Wen criticized Ke Dao, in the end he was paving the way for them.
However, with Mr. Wang’s temper, how could he suffer the loss of being dumb?
These words can be said to be accurate and ruthless, directly attacking the weak spot of Ke Dao.
More importantly, this is obviously speaking for the emperor. Before he can figure out the emperor's attitude, he rashly debates with Wang Wen. If he angers the emperor and makes him change his mind, it will be completely over...
Of course, this is for Kedao.
Bosses, you can imagine that no matter what the emperor's attitude was in the end, whether he reprimanded or acquiesced to Wang Wen, in the end, these words must be more or less in line with the emperor's wishes.
Pooh!
You know the treacherous officials who flatter the emperor!
Cursing secretly in their hearts, the elders once again became more vigilant towards the old guy Wang Wen...
