Chapter 258 Setting up a Hall for Zhang Juzheng in the Imperial Academy
"His Majesty!"
Zhang Siwei had no choice but to stand up at this time, saying: "What Xu Jie said is completely biting and slandering the minister!"
"I beg your Majesty to learn from you. I have never advocated such a thing, nor have I said that things belong to the Six Departments, and words belong to science!"
The Gongqing present and the Qingliu of the Hanlin Guozijian couldn't help but look sideways at Zhang Siwei.
Among them, quite a few still support the model of "regarding matters to the six ministries and sayings to scientific principles" and realizing the model of discussing government affairs through public discussion.
After all, this kind of proposition sounds really good, so that everyone can be more relaxed and free without worrying about being oppressed by a powerful official, and can also make their own voice, and represent a kind of public opinion, as if they can also participate in the government.
But now Zhang Siwei categorically denied it because of what Xu Jie said.
It also disappointed the bureaucrats and scholars who made the world's resolutions based on public opinion. They were not only disappointed that Zhang Siwei denied supporting "the matter belongs to the six departments, and the words belong to the scientific way", but also disappointed that Zhang Siwei denied it because he was afraid of the emperor's blame. .
Xu Jie sneered at this moment: "Otherwise, what is Cifu's claim?"
Zhang Siwei didn't answer.
"tell him."
Zhu Yijun gave an order at this time.
Zhang Siwei had no choice but to say: "Of course it is based on Yuan Fu's claim."
Xu Jie laughed again: "But the grand master didn't mention any propositions in the suicide note. He only mentioned that people should have their own opinions and not follow the trend. Did you not read it seriously?"
Zhang Siwei: "..."
"Your Majesty, I believe that Xu Jie's words are very biased. I would like to follow the public opinion and let the matter go to the six departments. A quiet and inactive person may not be a good minister;"
"Xu Jie is just because he has no morals, and that's all! It cannot be said that ministers who are quiet and inaction and obey public opinion are all moral and dignified."
Shao Zhan Shi Zhao Zhigao retorted at this time.
Xu Jie laughed: "In the position of assistant minister, can you really be virtuous without doing anything, is it fair and honest?"
"Could it be that the relatives, friends, disciples, and even the servants of the Lord did not take advantage of the power of the Lord to seek profit and wealth, but took the initiative to honor the name of the Lord and restrain himself?"
"If you want your relatives, friends, family slaves, and even domestic slaves to really control yourself, to clear your name and not seek profit, I'm afraid you must have the courage to offend your relatives, friends, family members, and even domestic slaves, right?"
"But if that's the case, who else is willing to spread the name of the public? I'm afraid the least is to say that the public is pedantic and unkind, mean and ungrateful, right?"
Zhao Zhigao blushed and said: "If the family style is upright, all the people in the family will be upright! If you only be friends with a gentleman, then of course everyone under your family will be a gentleman too! Why do you blame yourself for neglecting your family and yourself? Everyone in the world is like this!"
"Actually, most of my Qingliu are upright people, who value both family traditions and making friends, and will not be depraved!"
Xu Jie looked at Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, the criminal can't refute this man's statement, and the criminal can't prove whether he is lying in front of the imperial court, or he is really a frog at the bottom of the well;"
"But the criminal told His Majesty a fact, His Majesty can go to the history books and civil servants' notes of the previous dynasties before Huang Ming."
"Most of the civil servants recorded in it are praised for being honest and upright, with strict family traditions and strict restraint on themselves, but there are only one or two treacherous officials;"
"But if there are only one or two treacherous ministers, how can the country perish?"
"Could it be that all civil servants in the world are afraid of treacherous ministers, dare not speak up and dare not fight? Are they all cowardly? But if they are all cowardly, how can they restrain clan members, family members and friends, and how can they be regarded as honest and upright ministers? ?”
"Thus, if Your Majesty believes in his words, and thinks that the person who can reach the position of assistant minister and advocates peace and inaction is a true saint, future generations will probably only blame His Majesty for the subjugation of the country!"
"After all, future generations can't see anything wrong with the assistant ministers at that time in the annals of history."
"However, if His Majesty uses someone who dares to be a minister, even if the country ends up in ruins, future generations will know that His Majesty cannot be blamed for the country's subjugation, or even His Majesty, but only the minister's improper governance."
……
"His Majesty!"
"When a man is about to die, his words are good."
"Criminals know that their crimes are so serious that they can no longer live in the world, not to mention that their crimes are so obvious that it is difficult to cover them up."
"Therefore, it is impossible for the criminal to lie at this time. After all, I still rely on this to make His Majesty decree that I will be exempted from torture by Ling Chi."
"From the point of view of criminals, bureaucrats in this world are either traitorous and loyal, or loyal and traitorous. Few are perfect."
"Because, if you want to be a traitor, you have to hide yourself, and if you want to be a loyal minister, you have to be unkind to practice the way of a sage. The former naturally looks loyal, and the latter naturally looks mean."
"The culprit is undoubtedly the former, so the culprit will cover up again. In fact, he has done something that is sorry for the people of the country. The crime is much more serious than the Grand Master."
"The grand master is undoubtedly the latter. Although he has done many inhumane things, the things he planned are of great benefit to the country."
"And the opinion in Taishi's posthumous letter at this time is undoubtedly correct. His Majesty's administration is not as important as virtue, but merit. Maybe he will be a loyal minister."
Indeed, Xu Jie had never been so frank, nor had he spoken so freely, and suddenly became more energetic and talked a lot.
"You, Xu Huating, know Mr. better."
Zhu Yijun said something.
At this time, Zhao Zhigao also calmed down and puffed up, only staring at Xu Jie with fiery eyes.
At this time, Shen Shixing stood up and said: "In my humble opinion, for a minister, whether he is loyal or treacherous is often beyond his control. Although Xu Jie is a treacherous minister, there are times when he is loyal, such as ensuring the success of the late emperor's succession to the throne. "
"So, from my point of view, it is better to listen to his will and observe his actions. As the grand master said in the number, no matter whether you employ people or manage affairs, you should seek truth from facts. Use when you feel loyal, and use when you feel treacherous." Defeat! Use practice to verify one person and one thing.”
Xu Jie said at this time: "Your Majesty, Elder Shen Ge obviously understands it very well."
Zhu Yijun looked at the others: "Do you have any other ideas?"
For a while, all the ministers and scholars present were silent.
Because most of them do not advocate governing the country by morality instead of governing the country by merit.
But now, because of the emperor's claim, and because Xu Jie used himself as a negative teaching material, what he said was orderly, and Zhang Siwei and Zhao Zhigao were both speechless, so they didn't dare to go up and talk again. , and maybe it will make the emperor really think that he is a traitor.
And those who support the rule of merit have nothing to say, nodding their heads on the spot.
Because Xu Jie said everything they wanted to say.
What Shen Shixing added was difficult for them to think of for a while because of their aptitude.
At this time, Zhu Yijun simply looked at Shen Li directly: "Shen Li, tell me."
Shen Li went out and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I'm stupid. I just realized the profound knowledge of the grand master now, but I really don't know what to say for a while. I just want to continue to study the grand master's knowledge seriously."
Zhu Yijun took advantage of this and said, "You reminded me."
Then, Zhu Yijun stood up because of sitting for a long time, put his hands into his sleeves, and looked at Zhu Geng, the Minister of Chengzhi:
"Imitating the will of Taoism, we will add the Zhang Juzheng Research Institute in the Hanlin Academy!"
"It should be the same as the History Museum. Special Hanlin officials are assigned to be in charge of the museum. Shen Li, Shen Aiqing and Sun Jigao Sun Aiqing are in charge of the museum. The first thing to do is to sort out Mr.'s anthology and compile it into a book. At the same time, organize the Hanlin officials to explain his ideas and put forward their own opinions. , If someone has unique insights and made great achievements, I will reward them heavily, after all, this is beneficial to the improvement of the way of governing the country."
Zhu Geng, Shen Li and Sun Jigao all bowed their hands at this time.
The ministers and scholars present were shocked by this.
You know, there are so many chief assistants in this dynasty, and there is no one who can set up a library for official research on their culture.
But these people also knew that the emperor wanted to support Zhang Juzheng's idea of governing the country as the core idea of governance, and meant to continue the New Deal.
Zhu Yijun went on to say: "In addition, an edict is issued to set up the Ming Dynasty's governing school. From next year, newly admitted Jinshi must first enter the governing school to study before going to the library selection;"
"At the same time, select officials who are close to the people, such as county magistrates, and the officials in charge of the six ministries, who have passed the examination and are excellent, and enter the school to learn the ideas of the master, so as to be used as important ministers of the country in the future."
"In this school, Shen Aiqing will also serve as the sacrificial wine."
After hearing this, Shen Shixing couldn't help but cheer up, and said yes.
But at this time, Zhang Siwei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please allow Yuan Fu to enjoy the Taimiao, so that the kings of later generations will also know the merits of his auxiliary minister in governing the country!"
