Chapter 308 Give me reflection

Chapter 308 Give me reflection

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were all raised in a Confucian environment, and what they pay attention to is a subtlety.

Few are willing to speak their minds or even recommend themselves.

Not to mention self-recommendation, even if the emperor recruited, even if he wanted to take office again, he would symbolically decline it, saying that he didn't want to be so greedy for fame and fortune.

Even if someone is really envious of a certain official position, they would rather use shady tricks and tricks to get it, and seldom say publicly that I just want to be this official.

But Zhu Yijun just wanted to see if anyone took the initiative to ask for the position of chief assistant.

Because the position of the chief assistant requires a politician with clear goals and initiative, not a politician who is in the middle of nowhere.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun just wanted to see if there were any ministers who dared to recommend themselves without resorting to other means, so that the cruel conspiracy would grow stronger.

It's the same as the situation where Zhang Juzheng was the chief assistant in the early days of his accession, and Gao Gong was almost accused of treason.

This is also a disadvantage for the country. Although it is inevitable for ministers to fight for power and profit, it cannot become more and more bottomless, so as to cause serious internal friction.

Also.

Zhu Yijun has asked people to write the requirements of quantifying and qualitative results for the future for politicians into the "Notes on Daily Living". He also used Zhang Juzheng's mouth to elaborate on the idea of ​​​​governing the country not to follow the old ways, but to continue to develop and progress. Xu Jie and Zhang Siwei, who wished to be good people and politicians but did not want to be politicians, were severely punished.

Zhu Yijun believed that ministers who were really caring and willing to do this would guess his purpose and know what to do. He had even prepared several drafts on white hemp paper.

Although Zhongzhi is often not valued by the ministers, the first assistant needs to be appointed by the Zhongzhi. After all, the court push is just the introduction of cabinet ministers and other ministers.

In addition, if the emperor enforces the central purpose, it is not impossible.

For example, in the late Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty in history, the result of the court push was that Dong Yiyuan was the main push to lead the army to aid the dynasty, but Zhu Yijun made an arbitrary decision once. Aid North Korea.

In the end, the minister could only accept it.

Turning back, Zhu Yijun didn't believe in the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and he didn't even have this kind of understanding, so he prepared the edict early.

Shen Shixing did not disappoint Zhu Yijun, but made the emperor and the first assistant finally go to the new reform banner handover, and they still rushed in both directions.

It's just that the ruling ministers were a little caught off guard by all this.

They have always habitually believed that the emperor would take advantage of the situation and let Shen Shixing be the chief assistant. After all, it is time for Shen Shihang to rank in terms of resources. , such as instigating someone to impeach Shin Shi-xing at this time.

However, they did not expect that to become the head of a hundred officials, they would have to take the initiative to recommend themselves to the emperor and put forward their own goals.

Under the astonished eyes of all the officials, Shen Shixing Xie En sat on the left side of Zhu Yijun, with his hands folded in front of his abdomen.

And Zhu Yijun was also sitting on the throne at this time, looking at Shen Shixing: "I will give the master five years, if I can realize that the people in the country can really be better than the present, I will not treat the master lightly."

"There are also gentlemen."

Zhu Yijun looked at Pan Sheng and other ministers in power again.

Shen Shixing, Pan Sheng and others also stood up and bowed their hands together: "Don't dare to disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations!"

Zhu Yijun nodded and smiled.

Then, Zhu Yijun put his hands on his knees, leaned forward slightly, and said: "I have been on the throne for more than ten years, and since my husband left, there has been no major progress in the old evils that need to be eliminated. I have been cutting off traitors all the time. Rectify the Chao Gang!"

"But I and Zhuqing are not thieves who only know how to kill and ransack homes, but monarchs and ministers who work together to build a country, so we should carry on the past and open up the future, and raise up Pepsi!"

"Now, Yuan Fu has set up his eyes after I have raised the outline. It can be said that the outline has been raised and the eyes have been followed."

"Then next."

Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing: "How does Yuanfu plan to achieve these goals? The rest of the ministers also have some criticisms about this, but let's talk about it for the sake of clarity."

At this time, Shen Shixing got up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the current leader is recruiting ministers. The seven departments of the cabinet and the Privy Council of the five armies are still short of senior officials, so that the central government affairs cannot be dealt with in time, and it is not enough." It will be another major event in the future.”

"This statement makes sense!"

"The Shi Yusi first issued an order, and the Ministry of Officials presided over the court to promote the nine ministers, the seven ministers, the capital censor, the six subjects to Shizhong, the general political envoy, the Dali Temple Zhengqing and the head censor. , and I plan to select three for my nomination, one for the lead and two presumed to be the companions."

"In addition, the officials of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies that need to be supplemented shall be selected from the qualified Governor-General of the Governor-General and the Officers of the Privy Council, the Sixth Division, the Ministry of War, and the Imperial Guard. Pushing is also presided over by the Ministry of Officials."

After Zhu Yijun nodded, he made relevant arrangements for the next personnel election.

Ming system.

Whenever there is a vacancy in the country's major affairs and civil and military ministers, the emperor will issue an edict to discuss with the court officials, and then report to the emperor for a decree to decide.

The meeting to discuss the state affairs is called court meeting.

The selection of important ministers, such as the great scholars, ministers, governors, and governors of civil servants, and the general soldiers of military officials, is called court recommendation.

However, the content and participants of the court meeting and court push were decided by the emperor's decree.

However, Zhu Yijun's discussions with the court were basically limited to discussions with the ruling ministers in the Zhengshitang.

Only the court push, Zhu Yijun still let the seven ministers, the capital censor, the six subjects and the chief censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate participate, and even this time he even let the military ministers start to participate in the court push of the military chief.

There is no other reason.

The personnel arrangement, because it was about to be published in the "Di Bao", was announced to the bureaucrats all over the world to facilitate the transmission of government orders, so there was no need to keep it secret. Instead, the more people the better, so as to minimize unknown employment. or improper circumstances.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun is still asking many important ministers to participate in court promotion.

The court meeting requires a certain degree of confidentiality, and the fewer people who naturally participate, the better.

Both require efficiency, and too many people participating in Tingtui will undoubtedly affect efficiency.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun said at this moment: "However, the court push can only be completed within one day. If it cannot be completed, submit the list of disputes, and I will decide!"

Shen Shihang stood up and said yes.

Then, Shen Shixing took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, now the traitor Zhang Siwei has been found out to have secretly manipulated villains to murder the Grand Master. , you can release him from the imperial prison, and the prince is good at managing finances, please re-use him to join the cabinet."

Zhu Yijun said: "Now that the truth is revealed, he should be pardoned, but there is no need to keep him in the cabinet, let him go to the cabinet as a young minister!"

"It is also decreed that the Ming Dynasty's governing school will set up a finance department and a economics department, and let him concurrently be the secretary of the school and take charge of the finance department!"

"The original Siye Shen Lizhang's Department of Economics, the selected students will not only have to pass the economics exam, but also pass the financial exam before they can be selected as professors."

Shen Shixing bowed his hands and said yes, and said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister, Fang Gong, was sent to prison because of the seal. Please respect his loyalty and restore his position. What's more, Fang Gong was also tired of treachery. I heard that if there are ministers who dare to remonstrate in the country, there must be a holy master, so I ask your majesty to show mercy and forgive his crimes."

"Fang Qing can be regarded as a loyal minister and a capable minister."

"But there are many faults, but since I am a loyal minister, how can I just blame it?"

Zhu Yijun said at this point: "But you can't use it rashly. As a father, you should save him."

Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing again: "Only after he has changed his mind can he continue to seek the well-being of the people of the country, continue to be loyal to the country, and assist me in creating eternal peace!"

"How about this."

"Send an order to Fang Fengshi first, let him reflect on his own problems in the imperial prison, and write a self-examination report to me after he has reflected on it, so that I can know how he has reflected on during this period of time in the imperial prison, and whether he has realized himself. If you realize the problem, you will be reinstated as an official, and you will only be fined for half a year."

Zhu Yijun made arrangements at this time.

"According to the order!"

Shen Shixing replied.
