Chapter 913: Qing officials are invincible
However, the criterion for employing this person is that corrupt officials cannot be used, and dereliction of duty officials cannot be used, and these people must definitely be dismissed. He added another one, and mediocre officials can't use it. Don't seek merit, but seek no fault, this is also a bad official. He straightened out according to such a standard, and after three months, he laid off more than 3,000 officials. At that time, there was a Qing official named Hai Rui, who was very famous, and in order to write to the emperor, he bought a coffin in a coffin shop and entrusted his family to a friend. Then presented "Public Security Sparse" to the emperor, criticizing the emperor for superstitious witchcraft, living a luxurious life, ignoring the government and scolding the emperor over and over again?
Yu Qian heard it and said secretly: "This person is not so bold?"
Yang Zheng continued: "The emperor read Hai Rui's "Public Security Shu", and was very angry, threw "Public Security Shu" on the ground, and said to the left and right attendants: "Quickly arrest him, don't let him run away." The eunuch Huang Jin said beside him: "This person has always had a stupid name. I heard that before he went to the house, he knew that he should be offended, bought a coffin, said goodbye to his wife, and the slaves were scattered and there was no one left, and he himself would not run away. ”
The emperor was silent when he heard this. After a while, I read Hai Rui's Shangshu again, and I read it many times a day, and I felt sighing, so I had to leave "Public Security Shu" in the palace for several months. He once said: "This person can be compared to Bigan, but I am not the king of Shang. ”
Yang Zheng's voice was very slow, as if an old elder was pointing out to his juniors, so that they could avoid some detours from his words.
Yu Qian glanced at Yang Zheng, his eyes flashed and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.
Yang Zheng continued: "Later, the emperor died, Hai Rui was released from prison, the official was reinstated, and soon he was transferred to the military department. Later, he was transferred to Dali Temple and promoted to Shang Baocheng (an official specializing in the management of the emperor's imperial seal and seal). ”
"Is this official position big enough?" Yu Qian said secretly.
When he came out, there was a fight between two ministers of the court, and he was made a gun by one of them, forcing one of the ministers to lose his official position, and making the originally good government a little chaotic, while the other official thanked him for his help, and promoted the right to the capital of the imperial history (Zheng Sanpin), and released the governor of Yingtian. The jurisdiction includes Yingtian, Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Songjiang, Huizhou, Tianping, Ningguo, Anqing, Chizhou and Guangdezhou, most of which are rich fish and rice towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The subordinate officials were afraid of Hai Jui's majesty, and many corrupt officials resigned voluntarily. Some prominent magnates painted the door red, and when they heard that Hai Jui was coming, they changed the paint to black. The eunuch supervised the weaving in Jiangnan, and when he saw Hai Rui coming, he reduced the chariot and horse entourage.
Hai Rui Xingli eliminated the harm, and requested the renovation of the Wusong River and the Baimao River, which flowed into the sea, and the people got the benefits of building water conservancy. Hai Jui has long hated the annexation of land by large households, and has made every effort to destroy the powerful forces, and implemented the "One Whip Law" to appease the poor people. Some of the land of the poor people was annexed by the rich, and most of them were taken back and handed over to their owners. He was deeply loved by the people and called him "Hai Qingtian", but he forcibly pushed the executive order with a fierce momentum, and the officials under him were afraid to make a mistake, and some of them even ran to other places to hide. And some traitors mostly take the opportunity to expose the complaint, and from time to time there are people who have been framed and wronged. In addition, the redundant postal transmission fee was cut, and most of the districts where the scholars passed through Hai Jui could not be well supplied, so there were more and more complaints. After a few years, the local tax was reduced by two-thirds, and the big families ran away. He himself is unusually honest, he doesn't sit in a sedan chair, rides a donkey to work, and other officials, who dares to sit in a sedan chair, and in the end, almost no one is willing to work for him.
And he always seems to be against the rich, the poor and the rich are in a lawsuit, no matter who is justified, Hai Jui will definitely judge the rich to lose. In fact, being an official is also knowledgeable, and in today's terms, it is necessary to take charge of the overall situation and coordinate all parties. As an official, he has made chickens and dogs jump, and he cannot take into account the balance of the interests of all parties, although he is a clean official, he must not be a good official. did not withdraw, Hai Rui had to resign and go home, and when he left, he also sighed that "the people who raise the dynasty are all women."
Yu Qian listened to interesting things at first, and slowly felt that this was not as simple as an interesting thing, he was a smart person, and he only felt that this official was a good official, but since ancient times, the way of being an official is actually quite exquisite. The ancients said, "Public sins are indispensable, but private sins are indispensable." On the surface, this sentence is correct, that is, we are not afraid of offending the court and not afraid of being offended, and we must be innocent in our personal integrity. In fact, those who are well versed in the way of being an official seem to understand that public crimes are absolutely not allowed, and no one is perfect, and each has its own small flaws, so it can be ignored. Governing only with moral force is a bit idealistic?" Thinking of this, when he looked at Yang Zheng again, he didn't have half a sense of laughter, and his expression became solemn, he was called a prodigy since he was a child, and he had extraordinary skills, where could he not hear the intention of Yang Zheng's words, these words were just for himself, so his expression became serious.
I only heard Yang Zheng continue: "He made a mess of Nanjing's economy, and soon said that Hai Rui was pedantic and sluggish, and did not understand the essentials of governance, and should use Nanjing's idle position to place him.
Hai Rui Governor Wu Di has only been half a year. When the common people heard that Hai Jui had been dismissed, they cried on the road, and every family painted a statue of Hai Jui to worship him. Hai Rui was going to the new post, and when the big official he offended was in charge of the ministry, he had long hated Hai Jui, and merged Hai Jui's position into the Nanjing Household Department, so Hai Jui retired due to illness and returned to his hometown in Qiongshan...... Speaking of this, Yang Zheng glanced at Yu Qian and said, "How is this interesting thing?"
Yu Qianzheng lowered his head and pondered, and was slightly stunned when he heard the words: "It's really interesting?"
Yang Zheng hummed and said, "Brother Yu, how is this sea blue sky?"
Yu Qian thought for a while and said, "Mr. Hai is a good person, honest and virtuous, and he is really a model for hundreds of officials, but ......?"
Yang Zheng stared at him and said, "But what?"
Yu Qian was forced by his look, and was taken aback, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "However, this official didn't do this?"
Yang Zheng sighed, glanced at Yu Qian meaningfully, and said, "How do you say this?"
Yu Qian thought for a while and said: "If you want to clean up the officials, Mr. Hai is indeed counted, but he is very honest in Nanjing, he doesn't sit in a sedan chair, he rides a donkey to work, and other officials, who dares to sit in a sedan chair, and in the end, almost no one is willing to work for him."
And he always seems to be against the rich, the poor and the rich are in a lawsuit, no matter who is justified, Hai Jui will definitely judge the rich to lose. In fact, being an official is also knowledgeable, and in today's terms, it is necessary to take charge of the overall situation and coordinate all parties. As an official, he has made chickens and dogs jump, and he cannot take into account the balance of the interests of all parties, although he is a clean official, he must not be a good official. No matter how many officials there are, I'm afraid that it will not benefit the country or the court?"
"Well said, worthy of Brother Yu Qian?" Yang Zheng secretly praised: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, no wonder he was able to be the same as Zhang Juzheng later, and he was able to do his best when the Ming Dynasty was in danger, but this view of being an official, the two have a striking similarity!" Yang Zheng nodded and said: "What Brother Yu said is very true, Mr. Hai is indeed a good official, but not an official who is beneficial to the court, it is good to have such a Qing official, if everyone in the Ming Dynasty is like this, I am afraid that it will be messed up?"
Yu Qian nodded, looked up at Yang Zheng and said, "What Brother Yang said is extremely true!"
Yang Zheng looked at the patio outside the door, and saw that Yang Shiqi was still busy, obviously there was still a while to eat, so he said: "The interesting story is not over yet, do you want Brother Yu to continue listening?"
Yu Qian only felt that although today's words were a bit unbelievable, he had to say something that would be of great benefit to him, and nodded when he heard the words: "Brother Yang, please speak?"
Yang Zheng said: "Soon after Mr. Hai resigned, the court hindered his clear name, and people continued to write to ask Mr. Hai to be an official, at that time, it was also called Zhang Juzheng's senior official as the first assistant, this person was very talented, after hearing the words, he said to the Ministry of Shangshu: "Mr. Hai is a good person, honest and virtuous, which is good." I now want to choose capable ministers to do things for the court, and I want to choose good officials rather than good people. A good person is not a loser, not greedy or lazy, and has rules for doing things. Good officials are different, the top must reassure the emperor, the bottom must let the people get benefits, and the upper and lower levels must be called good officials. In his opinion, Hai Rui is too extreme. This is taboo for officials. Zhang Juzheng believes that a good person is not necessarily a good official. Hai Jui can only be regarded as having political virtues but no political achievements. During his ten years in Bingguo, Mr. Hai has not been used?"
After Yang Zheng finished speaking, he didn't speak again, he looked at Yu Qian, the national hero who could save the Ming Dynasty in the near future, had a solemn face, obviously groaning.
After a long time, he sighed lightly and said: "This Zhang Juzheng's official is the official who is really beneficial to the government?"
"I can see this, and it really deserves to be Yu Shaobao!" Yang Zheng secretly praised, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu Qian is really knowledgeable, this big official, he has said in his life, "You have to be a great person, and you can't break the norm, it's not enough to cure the troubles of the world." "During his 10 years in power, he implemented a series of reform measures. The financial Qing Dynasty cleared the fields, implemented the "one whip law", and the general endowment and service were all paid in silver, "Taicang Su can be supported for ten years, and the Zhou Temple accumulation fund is more than 4 million." In the military, famous generals such as Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang were appointed to the north of the town, and Lingyunyi and Yin Zhengmao were used to quell the rebellion in the southwest. In the administration of officials, a comprehensive examination of the name and reality was carried out, and the "examination method" was adopted to assess officials at all levels, and "although they were thousands of miles away, they were pursued from the bottom to the bottom", and the political system was solemn. To have this kind of situation, that is, he doesn't have to talk about the clean officials who mislead the country, but use the officials, clean officials are rare, but for the court, for the people, no matter how many officials there are, it is useless, but those who may have flaws in their character are the people who really do good things for the court and the people, such officials are officials who are beneficial to the people and the country, and this Lord Zhang has used such an official?"
