Chapter Eighty-Eight: Passing the Examination

Zhu Houzhao nodded, walked in with Yang Yiqing, and waited until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left for a long time, and the atmosphere at the scene eased a lot. Many people looked at the officials lying there, and they all sweated for him in their hearts, and almost lost their lives. At the same time, there are careful thoughts in my heart, and this time it is all gone.

Money is a good thing, but it also has a life to spend, and now it seems that most of this money is earned by life, but not spent.

Walking into the house, the two of them didn't mention anything outside, it was not a big deal, Zhu Houzhao supported Yang Yiqing and strengthened his momentum, this is also a tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister, there is no need to say anything. Glancing at Yang Yiqing, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Yang Qing is very busy these days? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the main thing is to distribute the matter of Tuntian." Yang Yiqing hurriedly said: "It's okay if things pass." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said with a smile: "This is a big thing, the stability of Liaodong depends on this, Yang Qing has done a good job, and the palace has also seen it." The palace will pay tribute to Yang Qing in the recital presented to his father. It seems that the palace transferred Yang Qing from the northwest, and he really chose the right person, not bad, not bad, Yang Qing did a good job. ”

Yang Yiqing said with a serious face: "It's just the duty of the minister, the minister only wants to be worthy of the king, and worthy of Li Shu." ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhu Houzhao said appreciatively: "Yang Qing said well, a duty has done his best to be a minister, if all the officials in the world are like Yang Qing, there should be many things in the world." Feeling that the greetings were almost over, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said slowly: "This palace came over today, in fact, there is something I want to talk to Yang Qing about." ”

"Your Highness has something to do, but please command." Yang Yiqing's expression also became serious, and he made a deferential appearance.

"Liaodong, the palace is going to make great efforts to sort out, which has removed the military household system, changed the military household system to the recruitment system, it can be said to change the old system of the Ming Dynasty for one hundred and fifty years, and the palace is also trembling, walking on thin ice. However, the palace also knows that the Ming Dynasty has reached the time when it must change, so the palace wants to use Liaodong as a pilot to seek innovation and change. ”

Pilot, this word is not unfamiliar to the Ming Dynasty now, and Yang Yiqing is especially not unfamiliar, because the imperial court's folding system was piloted at the beginning.

The northwest side is the earliest pilot, obviously His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to be a pilot in Liaodong, Yang Yiqing's heart suddenly rose. Obviously, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants is definitely not a pilot of the military system, because the pilot of the military system is actually Jingying. Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's opposition to the military household system as a conscription system very low, it is because this is what Jingying has done a long time ago.

The earliest Black Dragon Army was trained by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Xiyuan, with only 5,000 people, and no one cared about it at that time, thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was just a hobby of martial arts.

In a battle outside Guyuan City, His Royal Highness the Prince's 5,000 Black Dragon Army fought against the 10,000 cavalry of the Tartars, defeated the enemy in the field and killed more than 7,000 prisoners, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Black Dragon Army succeeded in a battle. After returning to the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince acted as the Beijing camp, selected soldiers, and expanded the Black Dragon Army, followed by the Northwest War to exterminate the Tartars, and raided Fengzhou Beach to extinguish the fire sieve.

After returning to Beijing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carried out a thorough reform of the Beijing camp, changing the Beijing camp from a military household system to a recruitment system, using the students of the martial arts academy, and establishing a staff institute.

In just a few years, the Ming Jingying has taken on a new look, and no one in the court wants to object, but how can you object? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's great victory is simply unstoppable. This time in the northern Xinjiang battle, Wang Shouren commanded the Black Dragon Army to defeat Dayan Khan, and appeased the northern Xinjiang in a war, so that the Tartars did not dare to violate the border, which was a great achievement.

The most important thing is to prove that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's military administration is effective, who dares to come out and be crooked? This is also the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made drastic reforms in Liaodong, but no one opposes them.

The only thing everyone is worried about is that the money is not enough, after all, it takes a lot of money to recruit soldiers, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reformed the salt policy, which made the imperial court salt class greatly increased, and the country used it day by day, and the opposition of the household department Shangshu Tong Zhong also went home, and the current household department is completely in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince's Qi You, plus this time the village tax will be paid, and the court will have a large amount of income.

With the money and prestige, there is naturally no resistance to the military reform in Liaodong, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to himself that he will reform the military system in Liaodong, and it will definitely not be the military system of Liaodong.

Because the military system in Liaodong has been changed, this Tuntian has been divided by itself, and His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't have to tell himself about this matter at all, and now that His Royal Highness the Prince has said it, then it will naturally involve himself. Yang Yiqing knew in his heart that since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had discussed with him, the reason was very simple, that is, to reform political affairs.

Reform political affairs, this involves the civil service system, Yang Yiqing is naturally apprehensive in his heart, he can't do it if he wants to.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please speak." Yang Yiqing still decided to listen to it, he also wanted to know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to do, if there was something wrong, Yang Yiqing would immediately advise, and he was even ready to speak out and advise.

Zhu Houzhao naturally will not implement the integration of officials and gentry in Liaodong, it is too early to mention this, and this policy cannot start directly from one place, if it does, then the whole country will start together. What Zhu Houzhao wants to implement is the examination method, that's right, it is the famous examination method in Zhang Juzheng's reform, and Zhu Houzhao is going to use a knife against the officials.

"The head of governing the country is the rule of officials, and the Beijing officials "Jingcha" once every six years, and the local officials once every three years. However, the rule of officials is still corrupt, and the laws and regulations are not working, whether it is Jingcha or the big plan, they are mere formalities, or they have become a means for officials to fight for power. Jingcha once and again, and the plan once and again, but this official was cured? Therefore, the palace is ready to try out the examination method in Liaodong. ”

Zhu Hou looked at Yang Yiqing and said slowly, his gaze did not leave Yang Yiqing's face, he wanted to see what Yang Yiqing thought.

"The minister dares to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, what is the examination method?" Yang Yiqing's heart moved, sure enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to the rule of officials, but this is okay, but it is also within the scope of Yang Yiqing's acceptance. After all, the imperial court often has to rectify the rule of officials, and this rule of officials is indeed a problem, and Yang Yiqing also wants to hear what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means.

"The so-called examination method is to set a limit on the responsibility, to be responsible for the person, to be responsible for the actual effect, to set a time limit for the things that the subordinate officials should do, and to register them in three account books, one by the procuratorate, one by the governor's yamen, and the other is placed here in the palace. Conduct inspections month by month, and post one for each completed work undertaken by the subordinate officials, otherwise it must be truthfully declared, otherwise it will be punished as a violation. ”

"The monthly inspection is carried out by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Governor's Yamen and the Main Palace, and if there is any unfinished, the reasons must be stated."
