The prince looked at Gao Pragmatic for a moment, suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Gao Pragmatic...... Well, I heard that you are the nephew of Gao Ge Lao, I remember that the Gao family is a real scholar, then, you must have also read a book? ”

Gao Shishi thought that the eight-year-old prince was usually confined to the deep palace, and after seeing his friends of the same age, he should first find something to play, but unexpectedly, the future Emperor Shenzong actually asked himself if he had read a book first, what did he want to do?

He couldn't be sure of the prince's intentions for a while, so he didn't want to say much, so he simply replied: "Back to the prince's words, yes." ”

When the prince heard this, he was overjoyed and asked, "Then I ask you, and the prince says: 'If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.'" Zeng Zi said: 'A gentleman can't think of his position', it can be seen that a gentleman should abide by his duty, yes or no? ”

Gao Pragmatic still didn't know why the prince had this question, and in line with the principle that if you say too much, you will lose, he replied simply: "Yes." ”

"Good! Then let me ask you again, looking at today's science and Taoism, I often listen to rumors and accusations against the king's words and deeds, and the saints are annoyed and reprimanded, but I don't expect that this generation is not only ashamed, but proud, and says: 'Love, can you not work?' Loyalty, can you not be taught? So what? ”

Hey? It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very dissatisfied with the performance of the officials? What's going on?

It is needless to say that the emperor is dissatisfied with these current science and technology officials, and the status of these officials in the emperor's mind should be in the position of "why don't you die", if it weren't for the "ancestral system" there, it would be convenient to let them die. However, the prince in front of him is only eight years old, and he is so dissatisfied with the official - of course, there is helplessness, which is worth pondering.

The meaning of Zhu Yijun's words is probably this: Confucius said that if you are not in this position, you should not think about what you should think about in this position. Zeng Zi also said that a gentleman does not think more than the scope of his position. It can be seen that a gentleman only needs to do his job well. However, those current imperial historians listen to some rumors at every turn, and criticize my emperor's father for acting and speaking, if my father is angry and scolds them, these shameless people are not only not afraid, but also feel that they are powerful, and they have said: Love him, can you not work for him? Be faithful to him, can you not counsel him? …… Do you think this is going to be done?

Well, how? My master, you are only eight years old, your emperor father is not in a rut, what do you want to do?

In the Ming Dynasty, the early years of the imperial history platform were set up, and then the court officials were replaced, and finally the Imperial Court was set up, and the left and right were set up in the imperial history, and they were two products. Left and right vice-capital imperial history, is three products. Left and right are all imperial history, is four products. The duty of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan is to "correct the impeachment of the hundred divisions, identify the wrongs, supervise the various provinces, and be the division of the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven." Anyone who is a minister of treachery, a villain who forms a party, or a man who is a disruptor of government shall be impeached. Anyone who is obscene and corrupt in official discipline shall be impeached. Those who are academically incorrect and who have written and made statements that have become chaotic and become constitutional, will be impeached. "There are also 12 ways to supervise the imperial history, 110 people, and seven products, to inspect and correct internal and external officials. In Beijing, he inspected the Beijing camp, the warehouse, and the inner warehouse, and supervised the township examination. Go out to patrol the locality, clear the army, supervise the school, inspect the salt administration, tea and horses, Cao Zheng, Tun Zheng and other affairs. [Note: In 1435 it was increased to thirteen provinces].

In the monitoring system, there are six other departments for the middle of the matter. Officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and six sections, each set up for one person in the matter, is seven products. Give one person to each of the left and right, from the seven grades. It is given to a number of people in the matter, and each section is different. Its functions and powers are "to take charge of the attendants, admonish, make up for the que, pick up the relics, and inspect the affairs of the six departments." ”

If you want to put it crudely, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is similar to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection; The six sections are similar to the discipline inspection teams set up within the ministries and commissions in the capital - of course, this is only forcibly "similar".

According to the official system of the Ming Dynasty, in principle, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was the supervisory organ of the imperial court, and the ministers of the emperor were the close servants of the emperor, and the eyes and ears of the emperor to control the administration of the six ministries. However, it is worth noting that there is the right to refute the seal, that is, it can be sealed and retained, refute the violation of the main chapter, admonish the monarch, and participate in the meetings of major events in the DPRK and China. The imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is customarily called "Dao", and the six branches are called "Branch" in the matter, and the two are collectively referred to as "Branch Daoguan" or "Yanguan".

The two sentences that Zhu Yijun said came from the "Analects of the Constitution", and the level of Confucianism of the officials was obviously beyond the reach of the young prince, so the sentence they answered was also from the "Analects of the Constitution".

This is a bit embarrassing, could it be that Confucius contradicts himself? This is absolutely impossible, absolutely not so, yes and no......

Gao Pragmatic then smiled and replied: "Back to the prince's words, the words of the sage will naturally not be wrong, let alone contradict themselves, the most important thing here is not which sentence is right and which sentence is wrong." The root cause of this lies in the position of the spokesman. ”

Zhu Yijun's face was a little unpleasant, and he muttered: "Isn't it just a rumor?" To put it this way, these people are so noisy, the saint can only endure it? ”

He is the crown prince, and he will be a saint in the future, if his father, the saint, can only endure this, then obviously he can only endure it in the future, although Zhu Yijun is young, he can fully understand this, and he is naturally quite angry when he says this.

But Gao pragmatic said: "That's not necessarily the case. ”

Zhu Yijun listened, slightly stunned, with three points of expectation on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Oh? How so? ”

"The official has the responsibility of admonishing His Majesty, which is the inheritance of the old system from the past dynasties, not to mention the thousand-year-old inheritance, which can not be changed for a while. Although the grass people live in the countryside, they also know that the saint does not dislike it, but there are always some people who invite fame and sell directly, and grasp some trivial things that have been heard, but they have no suggestions on national affairs, so they gradually get bored. In fact, this matter is easier said than done...... It's not hard either. ”

After all, Zhu Yijun is only eight years old, and he is not like Gao Shishi, who is not a two-life person, and when he heard "it is not difficult to say", he was immediately overjoyed: "How can it not be difficult?" High...... Mr. Koka, come quickly. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really smart, and when he asks for a plan, Gao Shishi, who can only be called by his name, has become Mr. Xiao Gao, which is really teachable.

Gao Pragmatic smiled and said: "If a scientific and Taoist official neglects His Majesty's mistakes, then his own self-holding, literacy, political achievements, reputation, etc., should naturally be the best choice." In other words, when it comes to self-cultivation, this person should be of good character, honest and loyal; As an official, he should be conscientious and conscientious and benefit one party; When it comes to family education, it should be the origin of family education and the children should be outstanding; On learning, it should be praised by the literature and the literature...... All in all, this person should be morally competent, right, what does Your Highness think? ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't keep up with Gao Pragmatic's train of thought for a while, and said in amazement: "Why did you talk about this?" But after thinking about it, he replied, "But it is indeed the way it should be!" ”

He didn't see it, Feng Bao, who was standing on the side, suddenly changed his face, and there was even some fear in his eyes when he looked at "Mr. Xiao Gao".

Gao pragmatic laughed: "Since that's the case, then check it out!" What does Jin Yiwei do? What does the East Factory do? Check whether this honest and accepting official is really so white and noble, and has outstanding ability. If you really find the second Haigang Peak, it will be a good thing for the country and the people! ”

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still ignorant, Feng Bao's face finally turned a little pale - this Mr. Xiao Gao is really accurate and ruthless!

But not long after it was white, it was suddenly full of red light - Wudong Factory was also happy!
