67. Tentative speeches
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao needed a great plan, a method that could defeat the civilian clique in one fell swoop, but still make the civil officials still willing to work for the Ming Dynasty.
So, Zhu Houzhao began to read the history books hard.
Taking history as a mirror, Zhu Houzhao feels that in this way, he can find some clues in historical information. If it is up to these officials to solve the problem or to rely on others to solve the problem of their own family, then the problem will never be solved, especially if it is a problem with a strong conflict of interest.
Relying on others is unreliable, relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on the water and people are cold!
Zhu Houzhao first read some things about the imperial examination, because civil officials are different from honors and military attachés, most of them entered the imperial examination and served as officials in the imperial court. Of course, that's not the point.
Zhu Houzhaozai carefully compared the imperial examination systems of various dynasties, and he suddenly felt that the eight shares adopted by the Ming Dynasty were the most effective method to control scholars. The people who have the most time and brains in the world are those who are readers, in other words, these scholars are one of the important factors that can pose a threat to the imperial court.
Of course, controlling the scholars controlled the vast majority of the rebellion. Zhu Houzhao was still a little skeptical of his reasoning, but when he looked through the historical books, he found that few peasant uprisings could be won. Most of the uprisings and rebellions that were able to be won were joined by scholars.
Take Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's Daze Township Uprising as an example, although it is kind of to shout out the princely general Xiangning, what can it be, it is not the end of annihilation.
On the other hand, Liu Bang, who is also one of the anti-Qin troops, has scholars like Xiao He and Zhang Liang to join, which shows that the whole strength is different. Even if he is the self-righteous Chu overlord Xiang Yu, he also has a strategist Fan Zeng.
Of course, controlling the scholars does not guarantee that the controlled scholars will not form gangs to achieve the purpose of checking and balancing the imperial power. So, that's the top priority.
Zhu Houzhao continued to read the remarks of Dong Zhongshu, a great Confucian in the Han Dynasty, the induction of heaven and man, and the divine right of the monarch. These officials have a subtle influence on the concept of kings, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons. But Zhu Houzhao is different, he has been a little overlord in the palace since he was a child, so he jumped out of this thinking when he looked at this problem.
Zhu Houzhao continued to read, and he found that if he wanted to solve the civil official problem, it was nothing more than killing chickens and setting an example, and the first point was to disturb people's hearts and fight the formation of the official group.
Zhu Houzhao thought about it, but never thought of a good way. However, if you don't know who is on the same front as whom, then how to plan for the next step.
But how to put it up, that's a question.
Zhu Houzhao took out his small notebook and glanced at it, and muttered to himself, "Salt lead, salt lead?" ”
"Huh? Can you make a fuss about this matter with salt? Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that this was a good way to lure the snake out of the hole.
And this method can't be used by his father, Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youjiao, he must use it himself, because in the eyes of all adults, he is a little white who has already started to do business. They felt that as a prince who was starting to improve, he would inevitably have a good relationship with the ministers, and then there were some things to ask them.
In fact, quite the opposite. Although Zhu Houzhao can't see the small blackboard every day, the memory of the original soul is also infiltrating his mind little by little.
However, there are also some that Zhu Houzhao is difficult to understand, Zhu Houzhao learned from the soul that has died, it is a soul from the future, and this soul is hundreds of years later than himself. However, Zhu Houzhao did not find out the slightest about the historical development of his father's rule in the past few years and the subsequent historical development.
Although there are some things, some concepts come from the future, but Zhu Houzhao can't fully digest it, but Zhu Houzhao is slowly growing, he already knows too many things, although it is only the tip of the iceberg of all the memories of that soul, but it is enough to make Zhu Houzhao at this age a little surprised.
It stands to reason that Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youzhu allowed Zhu Houzhao to go to court, but the past few months have just entered spring, and Zhu Houzhao stayed in the house by himself before. Because Emperor Zhu Youzhu had decreed before, the crown prince was susceptible to diseases in winter, so he was not used to participate.
But these days have passed, and Zhu Houzhao has not gone. Although Emperor Zhu Youzhu knew that Zhu Houzhao did not go, he also knew that his son Zhu Houzhao was not idle for a moment, and he knew that Zhu Houzhao was always motivated, so he did not make such a hard requirement, which is the so-called turning a blind eye.
Zhu Houzhao decided to go to the court tomorrow morning to find out.
Of course, this matter has to be told to Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao, which is about what he will go to the morning court tomorrow, not what he wants to say.
The next morning.
Zhu Houzhao arrived early and appeared at the court meeting with all the adults.
And Zhu Houzhao greeted these adults very politely.
"Ladies and gentlemen, who has something to do?" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu put his raised hand on the dragon chair again.
"Father, the son has something to do!" Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and said.
"Prince, what's the matter with you?" Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu sensed that there was something wrong with this kid.
"Erchen wants to talk about the fact that this salt is changed to be able to be exchanged for silver, and Erchen feels that it is a big mistake to do so!" Zhu Houzhao directly threw out the idea that this matter is very wrong, so that directly stating his position will attract discussion and siege from other officials, and this is the result he wants.
"What is wrong?"
"Salt was originally used as food for the border army, but now it has become convertible with cash, which is not conducive to the stability of the imperial court's borders, and once the war starts, the shortage of grain and grass can be imagined! In this way, Emperor Taizu's strategy of exchanging grain for salt is the best policy, but there must be a reason for this, if there is no shortage of silver, who will change this strategy? Zhu Houzhao looked sideways at the officials beside him.
He had to take a small notebook and write down what they said, and then divide them into factions and severity, and then distinguish and screen them through a series of steps.
"The minister thinks that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is a bit biased, but this salt introduction reform has increased the income of the imperial court a lot, and the imperial court needs silver in all aspects, can Your Highness take this into account?" This one's words are quite pertinent.
"Does Your Highness think it's inappropriate for Lord Ye Qiye's restructuring? During the reign of Lord Ye, he was an honest official, and he was even more heartbroken for the imperial court. His credit cannot be denied because His Highness said that it was a big mistake, and the minister felt that Lord Ye would not do anything wrong, after all, Lord Ye had been an official for many years and was very experienced! ”
The atmosphere in the hall has already begun, and now Zhu Houzhao needs to add firewood.
The update is not very strong in the past few days, and it is recommended that it will be on the shelves next week. I've been dropping my collection for the past few days.,I don't know if anyone has seen it.,There's a chapter review to read.,Let me die!
