Chapter 321: Desire for Good Governance
There are many schools of Tibetan Buddhism, in addition to the Pazhu Kagyu school, which controls the local government in Wusi Tibet, there are also the Karma Kagyu school with influence throughout Sichuan, Kang, and Weizang, as well as the Sakya school that is still strong and the Gelug school that has not yet risen, and so on, all of which have a wide range of followers and strength.
To be honest, Zhu Biao is not too clear about the relationship between them and the contradictions between their teachings, but it doesn't matter, lamas are still people, they are not Buddhas, so the weaknesses of human nature are all possessed, and this is enough.
In the end, Langa Bazangbu also asked to meet the Ming Emperor once, Zhu Biao just said that it would be passed on, as for whether the old Zhu could see it, it was not necessarily, after all, his father did not have a good sense of religion, and I don't know if it was because he had a bad time in the Huangjue Temple.
After that, the officials of the Ministry of Rites will be responsible, and Zhu Biao's personal reception is also to show his attitude, most of the forces of Daming and Wu Sizang have no conflict, and the two sides can say that peace is mutually beneficial, and Pazhu is everyone's enemy.
After Zhu Biao met with the old lama, the early dynasty also went down, and the civil and military officials were coming out of the Fengtian Palace, their steps were a little hurried, and their expressions were also quite interesting.
Zhu Biao walked straight towards the Jinshen Palace, and walked in to meet his father after the report, Lao Zhu was busy with his eyes and didn't have time to lift his eyes, the more officials he killed, the more government affairs he left behind, and Lao Zhu didn't worry about the officials he had just made up, so many government affairs could only be handled by himself.
Seeing this, Zhu Biao naturally stepped forward and picked up a stack of pieces, sat on the table and chair on the other side, and the eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly prepared the pen and ink, Zhu Biao exhaled a breath and began to review, this thing is naturally important, after all, it is related to the operation of national politics, but it is not difficult to say, after all, it is necessary to do it once a day, and it is really boring.
The centralization of power has reached this point, for example, officials have to ask for instructions at the slightest disturbance, and they will never dare to make decisions on their own, even if the situation is urgent, they have to deal with it independently, and they will report it in detail afterwards, in fact, this is the case with most of the concerts.
Time passed little by little, and there was only the rustle of paper and pen and ink on it in the temple, and the slaves and maids serving in the hall seemed to be a pillar, standing silently on the side except for pouring tea and changing ice.
After more than an hour, Zhu Biao casually put the pen on the inkstone and rubbed his sour wrist: "Father, I want to see you." ”
Lao Zhu also put down his pen and leaned back on the chair to rest and said casually: "No, how can we have that idle time, don't care whether it is a monk or a Taoist, they are all all the way, mostly dedicated to themselves, only thinking about becoming a Buddha and attaining the Tao, it is not beneficial to the country and the family, and it is better to kill a few more corrupt officials and corrupt officials if you have the heart to spend money with them." ”
Zhu Biao didn't care, and then asked about the situation of the Qincha who went down to inspect, although it was only a short time, he should have gone through a few states and counties, and he didn't know how effective it was.
Naturally, this kind of news of the minister will not pass through Zhongshu Province, and it used to be transmitted by the pro-military governor's office, but now it is specially responsible for the general political envoy and directly submitted to the imperial front, although the general political envoy Chen Youzong is Zhu Biao's person, but he will never inquire into this kind of thing without authorization.
Lao Zhu's face turned cold when he talked about this matter: "It's not good, they have found a lot of problems around the capital, corruption, bribery, and embezzlement of public funds are ordinary trivial things, conniving Diao slaves to shield the wicked and oppress the good, relying on their power to buy and sell and even sell people, all of them are like this under our noses, not to mention other places where the emperor is far away." ”
Zhu Biao was not surprised when he heard this, this was all expected, if it weren't for this, how could Zhu Yuanzhang launch a wave of purging officials in this not very good time period, it was really the situation of corruption that was getting worse.
It has been four years since the founding of the country, and the uprisings of the people in remote places are still endless, although they are just small fights, but the spark can start a prairie fire, and this situation is not contained, once a large-scale natural disaster occurs, the people have no way to live plus the accumulation of grievances, then it is not impossible for the dragon and snake to turn the earth upside down, and the size of the people of the Ming Dynasty is not comparable to Goryeo.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "This year's scientific examinations must be advanced, and the imperial court will be supplemented by recruiting talents, Song Lian, that old guy has run away, you said that it is better to let someone be the chief examiner, or you can come." ”
Zhu Biao hurriedly shook his head and refused, the purging of officials has begun, these dog things must be added to the local place after being admitted, they are not young, and the atmosphere they have accepted since childhood is old-fashioned, that is, Zhu Biao begged them not to be greedy, it is useless, and their nature is difficult to change, according to his prediction, there will be no good development in the past few years.
It is estimated that it would be good if one of the hundred people could live to two years later, not only their personal problems, but the general environment, Zhu Yuanzhang is not to punish corrupt officials in the end, but to reverse the trend, if his anti-corruption is simply regarded as wanton revenge because he was a child.
Who can not know the truth that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the person is observed, there will be no disciples, Lao Zhu has a low background, but after years of study, the cultural level is not low, he can go from begging to sitting on the world, how can he not understand the sophistication of the world?
As early as the edict of the second year of Hongwu, it was very clear that if the evils of corruption are not reformed, it will be impossible to achieve good governance. It's not that they don't want to simmer slowly, but the atmosphere left by the Yuan Dynasty is too bad, although they have been beaten back to the grassland, but the poison of corruption is still spreading.
The corrupt grassroots officials of the Yuan Dynasty have now been transformed into grassroots officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they are still exploiting all kinds of loopholes to make money, and even the magistrates sent by Zhu Yuanzhang have been tied up and beaten by local officials.
From the first year of Wu to the present, more than 40,000 military households have fled from various localities, and more than 300 peasant uprisings, large and small, have taken place, needless to say, and in the face of the situation in which corruption and poison of the previous dynasty have penetrated deep into the bone marrow and even frantically breeded, if we sit idly by, the outcome of the short-lived defeat of the peasant regime will not be far off.
The land of China, which is finally unified by the world, is very likely to fall into a new round of competition, Zhu Yuanzhang expected it, so he will be ruthless, and he will not hesitate to break his muscles and bones to eradicate this poison, and it is better to be heartbroken than to be defeated in a short life.
Before the founding of the country, Zhu Biao did not think about persuading his father and emperor in the future, thinking that he would do less slaughter, and the province would leave a tyrannical and harsh reputation in history, but in the face of various problems after the founding of the country, he also understood that if he did not get rid of the officialdom that was full of loopholes in the Yuan Dynasty, let alone the national fortune of more than 200 years, I am afraid that it will be another situation where the ancestral dragon dies and divides the land.
