Chapter Eighty-Nine: It's All Slander

Yang Yiqing listened to Zhu Houzhao's words and slowly fell into contemplation, as an old fritter in the officialdom, since Yang Yiqing can achieve the position of governor, he naturally knows the situation in the Ming officialdom, and he also knows what the examination method that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to launch means, and at the same time, he also knows how much backlash this examination method will revere.

Now the Ming officialdom is corrupt, the government decrees are not compatible, the wind of prevarication from top to bottom is prevalent, and the style of local officials in various places is flourishing.

Everyone thinks about how to hold together and how to collude, but there are not many people who really work hard, and Yang Yiqing also has a clear understanding that this is the mainstream of officialdom now. This is obviously a practice that goes against the mainstream, and once it is implemented, it will inevitably be strongly opposed by the officials of the imperial court, and if it is not done well, it will cause chaos.

So are there any benefits? Of course, the advantage of the test is that the rights and responsibilities are clarified, and those who do well will go down if they do not.

If you want to mess around, it's naturally impossible, at least you have to do things well, and if you want to pass the buck, it's basically impossible.

Looking at Yang Yiqing, who was hesitant, Zhu Houzhao didn't speak, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, with no expression on his face, and he didn't look in a hurry. Zhu Houzhao knew in his heart what Yang Yiqing was struggling with, was Zhang Juzheng's test method useful? Of course it is useful, in the short time that Zhang Juzheng was in power, Daming can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Although the reform of the tax system was superficial and did not dare to enter the deep waters, the examination method on the administration of officials was absolutely successful.

swept away the habits of officialdom during the Jiajing period, greatly improved administrative efficiency, and eliminated a large number of unqualified officials, but it is a pity that people died in government. As for why people died in government, the reason is also very simple, this is to rely on power to carry it out, and the opposition below was temporarily suppressed, and Zhang Juzheng rose up again as soon as he died.

You must know that this test method is very disliked by officials in the officialdom, who likes to put a tight spell on their head.

Yang Yiqing's hesitation at this time is naturally this, once he implements the test method in Liaodong, it will be a precedent for the test method, and if it is not good, it will be the target of public criticism. This Zhu Houzhao also knows that this is also a temptation by Zhu Houzhao to Yang Yiqing, or it is no longer a temptation, if you are willing to do it, then you will be valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, and even become a pioneer of reform.

If you are unwilling to do it, then you are afraid that you will not be able to do this governor of Liaodong, and your official career in the future will not be too good, as long as the prince is in power for one day, you will not be able to be reused.

After a while, Yang Yiqing raised his head, looked at Zhu Houzhao, and then stood up and said, "The minister is willing to drive forward for His Highness." ”

Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled: "The palace didn't see the wrong person, and Lord Yang didn't disappoint the palace, this is very good, if this Liaodong is done, the palace will transfer Lord Yang to the capital to preside over the national examination method." Don't worry, Lord Yang, although the law will be criticized and even opposed by some people, the law will also be supported by some people, after all, not every official in the world is mediocre. ”

Although Zhu Houzhao felt that the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty was broken, Zhu Houzhao also believed that there must be good officials in it, officials who are dedicated to serving the country.

Yang Yiqing could only smile bitterly in his heart, there are still more mediocre officials in this world, and there are not too many officials who really want to pass the Fa test. However, Yang Yiqing also knew that he couldn't say this in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, so he simply didn't say it, but said with a serious face: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, the minister will definitely live up to His Royal Highness the Prince's hopes." ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Then our monarchs and ministers will think about it carefully, and if we are admitted to the beginning of the law, I am afraid that there are many problems here." ”

By this time, Zhu Houzhao's three major undertakings in Liaodong had all been rolled out, and the first was naturally military reform, which was in charge of Wang Shouren, and Zhu Houzhao was responsible for leading the overall situation. The second is the industrial aspect, which is under construction in terms of iron and steel mills and arsenals, and the third is the administration of officials, Zhu Houzhao began to implement the examination law in Liaodong, and the person in charge is Yang Yiqing, the governor of Liaodong.

After the three aspects were unfolded, although Zhu Houzhao only coordinated the overall situation, there were a lot of things, so Zhu Houzhao was also busy every day.

Beijing, Forbidden City.

Zhu Youzhu put down the fold in his hand, and then sighed a little helplessly, his son is not worrying anywhere. I thought I would be more stable after going to Liaodong, but I didn't expect to do things everywhere. Although the capital has stopped, not only has there been no less, but there have been a lot more, most of which are for the impeachment of his son.

The courtiers even want to impeach the emperor, not to mention Zhu Houzhao, the crown prince, but there are all kinds of impeachment things here.

Most of Zhu Youzhu didn't care, but there were a few things that Zhu Youzhu didn't care about, put down the teacup in his hand, Zhu Youzhu turned his head to look at Yang Peng beside him, and said slowly: "Is there a saying here in Dongchang?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there is a slight difference between the East Factory and the ministers." Yang Peng hurriedly bowed and said, his tone calm.

Zhu Youzhu immediately became interested, and asked with a smile: "Then let's talk about it, I don't believe that my son is so unwise." ”

"Yes, Emperor!" Yang Peng hurriedly agreed, and then said: "The so-called Liu Jin embezzled silver taels and extorted places, there are indeed places, but the silver was not accepted by Liu Jin, but all went to His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was this money that established the steel mill and arsenal in Liaodong, about more than 200,000 taels, and the specific amount is unknown." ”

"They are all my good courtiers, and they are really rich!" Zhu Youzhu smiled faintly, picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

Although there was the slightest hint of fireworks in the words of his own emperor, Yang Peng was still scared out of his white hair, and these words didn't sound like words of appreciation. Obviously, Your Majesty, these generals are not satisfied, where do these people have so much money? It's not the looted soldiers, the embezzled money and grain of the imperial court, no wonder the Liaodong military town can't even defeat the barbarians.

Raising his head and glancing at Yang Peng, Zhu Youzhu said with a smile: "This son of mine still likes the sword to go sideways, continue, why don't you say it?" ”

"Yes, Emperor!" Yang Peng was excited, and hurriedly continued to speak: "Except for Liu Jin extorting money, other things about the impeachment of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all nonsense. ”

Raising his head and glancing at Yang Peng, Zhu Youzhu said with a smile: "You old fellow, my son I know for myself, how can he be at ease to do nothing in Liaodong, let him go, this hand in the middle of the court can't reach out, all these twists and turns are taken down and burned!" ”
