Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied, he didn't have a long time to set up the Baigong Institute, but they gave him a very big surprise. Both in terms of results and efficiency, they have done a very good job.

Zhu Youxiao said happily: "You have done a good job. ”

"Your Majesty, thank you." Bi Maokang hurriedly bowed down and said.

The follow-up things are much easier to do, there are things, and the touching words have been said, so the next thing is naturally to give benefits and rewards, and Zhu Youxiao handed it over to Xu Guangqi to do.

At noon, I accompanied Bi Maokang and them to have a working meal, and Zhu Youxiao went back to Xiyuan.

After returning to Xiyuan, Zhu Youxiao was in a very good mood, he really didn't mistake Bi Maokang and them, they did not let themselves down, this is a very good start.

Returning to his favorite pavilion, sitting on a rocking chair and taking a sip of tea, Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood.

"Emperor, Zhao Bingzhong, Lord Zhao asks to see." Chen Hong came to Zhu Youxiao's side and said respectfully.

Hearing Chen Hong mention Zhao Bingzhong, Zhu Youxiao was a little stunned.

Speaking of which, I really forgot about Zhao Bingzhong during this time.

However, when he heard Chen Hong mention it, Zhu Youxiao remembered that he asked Zhao Bingzhong to go to the General Administration Department to manage the secret performance.

Now he has come to ask for a meeting, and it is estimated that there is a plan.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Then let him in." ”

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood at this time, which was why he was willing to meet Zhao Bingzhong.

If nothing else, Zhao Bingzhong should have come to block himself, and he didn't think that Zhao Bingzhong would be so obedient to himself.

This is a capable person, and likewise a person with ideas.

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, turned around and walked outside.

After a short time, Chen Hong walked in from outside with Zhao Bingzhong, and then retreated to the side.

Coming to Zhu Youxiao, Zhao Bingzhong bowed down and said, "Your Majesty." ”

"Alright, excuse me." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

After Zhao Bingzhong stood up, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Aiqing came over today, but I have an idea?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister does have an idea." Zhao Bingzhong said.

"Let's talk about it." Zhu Youxiao replied with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Bingzhong agreed, and then said: "This is the inscription written by the minister, please read it for Your Majesty." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Bingzhong respectfully picked up a copy of the inscription.

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

Chen Hong walked over and took the question book with both hands, walked back respectfully, and presented the question book to his emperor.

After taking the question book, Zhu Youxiao took a quick look.

After more than half a year of experience, Zhu Youxiao can see most of the questions clearly and understand. But some of the dictionaries are relatively deep, and he still can't understand them.

Fortunately, Zhao Bingzhong is not that kind of person, and it is clearly written in the question book:

"Later generations of shrewd people, the first to recommend Han Xuan, his officials called the people's security, can be effective! And if you concentrate on the procuratorate, those who are within the reach of the procuratorate will be omitted, so the false increase in rewards has never been there. ”

In the first sentence of the opening paragraph, he wrote that he admired Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, believing that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was able to achieve that level of fame because Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was able to make the officials make the people safe, and he could follow the practice of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty; At the same time, it was emphasized that the reason why Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was able to do it was because of supervision.

Later, some shortcomings of the current supervision system were discussed, and then a summary was made at the end:

"God gallops and fears power, and the people are obedient to my heaven. Where the note and plan are not set up, but the top is God, the bottom is real, and the top and bottom are handed over as an example, without the name of comprehensive audit, and there is the benefit of incorruptibility. Bi Hanxuan is not as good as the Chinese literati, which is exactly what he said. ”

After analyzing the pros and cons, Zhao Bingzhong's words were a turn.

"Hong Wei, my ancestor Emperor Gao, wisdom is based on heaven, and fortitude is based on nature. At the beginning of the draft, it was to create a plan and set a plan for all eternity; After the bottom is decided, Yi Ligang Chen Ji, the grand chapter of hundreds of generations. ”

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled. It can be said that Zhao Bingzhong did not hesitate to praise Emperor Taizu.

He admires Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Youxiao has known this for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be written here, it seems that he is really a fan of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and he is also a hardcore fan.

Putting down the question book in his hand, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Tell me what you want to do, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Bingzhong bowed down and said: "The secret music system has made up for the shortcomings of many generations of supervision; Although there will be suspicions of mutual suspicion among officials, the minister thinks that this is a sacrifice to the end. ”

"Officials act openly, without partiality in everything, and naturally do not fear. Our law is so severe on false accusations that it is natural that we will severely punish those officials who make false accusations. ”

"It's just that in the imperial court, we must distinguish between right and wrong, investigate clearly, and have detailed evidence, and we must not convict arbitrarily. Yichen thought that the imperial court still lacked a yamen to be responsible for investigating the secret performance. ”

"If a local official impeaches an official and informs the court of a secret recital, the court will inevitably send someone to investigate it in detail. If you still use the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department to investigate, or send the imperial court to investigate, the news is easy to leak. ”

"What's more, the court officials are intertwined and colluded with each other, and it is easy to cover up for personal gain. Therefore, the minister thought that there should be a yamen in the imperial court, which could be checked anytime and anywhere, and could secretly and quietly investigate and contact those secret officials. ”

"In this way, the situation can be verified, and the second can ensure that the information does not leak."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, this yamen is similar to the Discipline Inspection Commission, as long as someone secretly impeaches, then the Discipline Inspection Commission will send someone to investigate, and it is a secret investigation.

Indeed, there is a need for such a yamen.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao said: "Can Dongtang Jinyi Wei be used? ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhao Bingzhong's face suddenly became serious.

If Dongchang and Jinyiwei are allowed to intervene in the secret performance, then things will definitely become very bad, and this is not the original intention of setting up this yamen.

So Zhao Bingzhong said with a serious face: "The minister thinks it's impossible." ”

If Dongchang and Jinyiwei were used to investigate, the minister thought that it would be better to send the imperial court's envoy to investigate. The brocade-clothed guards were crude and useless; The eunuchs of Dongchang are greedy for money and timid, not good ministers. ”

Zhao Bingzhong said this very politely, and the meaning is also obvious, that is, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are all His Majesty's minions, and these people have no fair mind, on the one hand, they are greedy for power and money, and on the other hand, they are small-minded, and they have no way to do big things.

In a word, he Zhao Bingzhong doesn't look down on Dongchang and Jinyiwei at all.

Zhao Bingzhong's words made Chen Hong on the side a little embarrassed, after all, Zhao Bingzhong was not only talking about Dongchang, but also directly put all the eunuchs inside.

How can you not be embarrassed when you hear this?

Zhu Youxiao was not angry, but expected. Zhao Bingzhong is such a person, if he doesn't tell the truth so bluntly, he really won't dare to use him.

So Zhu Youxiao asked: "Then according to Aiqing's opinion, how should I act?" ”

"The minister thought that when a yamen should be set up under the General Administration, if there were local courtiers secretly engaged in corruption, the yamen would send people to investigate; After the verification is clear, he will return to Beijing to participate in the performance, and at the same time arrest the prisoners into Beijing for interrogation. ”

"Who's going to interrogate?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhao Bingzhong and asked.

"The minister thought it should be handed over to Dali Temple." Zhao Bingzhong said expressionlessly.

It's not that he slapped Zhu Youxiao's ass, or that he had any other thoughts, but that he really thought so in his heart.

Zhao Bingzhong continued: "The General Administration Department is responsible for the investigation, and the Dali Temple is responsible for the interrogation; As for the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they are responsible for supervising and interpreting the Daming Law. ”

"The minister thinks that in this way, he can check and balance in many ways and reduce unjust, false and wrongful cases. After all, supervision is to make the cleaner clearer and severely punish corrupt officials. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhao Bingzhong and sighed in his heart.

Who said that there was no talent in the Ming Dynasty, this is a talent!

How advanced is this idea?

How appropriate is that?

"As soon as this method comes out, Aiqing is afraid that it will become the target of public criticism." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

First of all, this will make the officials panic, no one knows when they will be accused, and the investigation is all secretly investigated, or in an independent yamen, you can't reach out if you want to.

In this way, how can officials not be afraid? How can you not panic?

After being afraid of panic, they naturally want to take down the system, and attacking the leaders is the most appropriate thing to do.

Killing Zhao Bingzhong will solve a big problem.

If you can't solve the problem, go and solve the person who raised the problem. This is common in all eras.

In addition, Zhao Bingzhong's approach is also robbing many people's rights. First of all, the Criminal Department of Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely not like Zhao Bingzhong's behavior, isn't this naked taking power from his own hands?

Moreover, the power he stopped was the power of the Dali Temple Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department, which would also make him the target of public criticism.

Even after the adoption of this policy, the Department of General Administration has even become a place where other yamen cannot interfere, and even the cabinet has no way to interfere.

After all, the secret music is not sent to the cabinet, but directly to the imperial front, so the general secretary and they also seized the power of the cabinet in disguise.

From this point of view, Zhao Bingzhong will naturally become a bird. Under such circumstances, his life is not easy.

People in the officialdom see Zhao Bingzhong unpleasantly, and they will stay away from him and impeach him.

In addition, Zhao Bingzhong's reputation will also plummet, cool officials, ministers, such hats will be worn on his head one by one, and they will not be able to take it off for a while, and it will even be written into history, and will be arranged by countless people.

After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhao Bingzhong's face did not change in the slightest.

In fact, before Zhao Bingzhong did this, he had already thought of these things, and he was ready in his heart. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have come to make that suggestion at all.

And Zhao Bingzhong also knew that after doing this, he was also fighting for power with Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

These two yamen are not easy to mess with, especially those eunuchs in Dongchang, if they don't do well, they will impeach themselves in front of His Majesty.

The reason why Zhao Bingzhong did this, on the one hand, was because he was willing to do so, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the world, and for the sake of showing his ambitions.

Even if he can't end up with a good end in the end, Zhao Bingzhong is willing to do it. As an official, he has something to do and something not to do, and he is willing to do so.

Another very important reason is that Zhao Bingzhong believes in His Majesty. He believed that His Majesty was the Lord of Wisdom, and knew the benefits of doing so, and would also help and protect himself, so he was willing to give it a try.

"For the sake of Your Majesty, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I am not afraid of life and death, and I will not hesitate to be famous!" Zhao Bingzhong bowed and said.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhao Bingzhong and nodded lightly, and at the same time had some pride in his heart.

See?

See?

After sweeping away those people in the Donglin Party, there were people who dared to do things in the court!

These people, starting from Zhao Bingzhong, are the foundation of their future prosperity!

Zhu Youxiao pressed the agitation in his heart and said directly: "I'm right." I also allow you to set up this yamen. You go back and write a charter, how are people deployed? How much silver do I need? Report them all, and I'll approve them when the time comes. ”

"In addition, you can start to work on the secret performance, the post stations in various places have arranged manpower, don't make any mistakes, you must act safely, and remember not to be fast."

Zhao Bingzhong was overjoyed when he heard that His Majesty had approved this matter, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister understands." ”

"In addition, the minister wants to go to the ministry to see how many of them are in the ranks, and select some people from among these people to let them enter the new yamen."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhao Bingzhong, nodded approvingly and said: "This matter will let the officials cooperate with you, you can go with confidence, and I will explain to the officials when I turn around." ”

Thank you, Your Majesty, Zhao Bingzhong hurriedly bowed down and said, and at the same time, he felt quite comforted in his heart, he really didn't see the wrong person, and His Majesty was willing to support him.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao is willing to support Zhao Bingzhong.

Zhao Bingzhong's practice of going to the Ministry of Officials to elect officials, Zhu Youxiao can also understand. To put it bluntly, there is no need for officials in the court, but new people are chosen.

As for the ranking of officials in the ministry, this can also be regarded as a phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty.

It's not that if you get admitted to the Juren or Jinshi, you really have a chance to be directly appointed as an official, unless you do well in the exam and are relatively high.

If you get to the top three, then you should go to the official department.

After all, there are so many official positions in the Ming Dynasty, and good positions are naturally grabbed, but bad positions are also grabbed. From the seventh grade to the first grade of the official hat, as long as there is a vacancy, there will be people flocking to it.

The current situation is that there are few official positions, and there are many people who want to be officials, so they can be ranked. One radish is one pit, and the platoon officers can only wait for some radishes to return to their hometowns or be imprisoned.

At this time, if someone has money, they will do it, which is why some people say that the Anthology Division of the Ministry of Officials is a very fat yamen. Because in the process, they will receive countless benefits.

Many people can't get in line for a few years, but this time Zhao Bingzhong wants to choose, it is estimated that this is such a person.

They were very aggrieved and dissatisfied with the current officials, so after they went to the General Administration, they must have been full of passion for investigating this kind of thing.

Zhu Youxiao also had to sigh, this Zhao Bingzhong is really a talent, he can think of such ideas, and sure enough, the angle of looking at things is very unusual.

"Alright, let's go back and do it well!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said with a smile.

Zhao Bingzhong hurriedly bowed: "The minister retreats." ”

After seeing Zhu Youxiao nodding, Zhao Bingzhong bowed and retreated.

After Zhao Bingzhong left, Zhu Youxiao leaned back comfortably on the chair, with a meaningful smile on his face.

I'm really looking forward to it, I really want to see how far Zhao Bingzhong can go.
