Chapter 2 Rectification Movement

The sun is rising. Welcome to 78 Reading .// Zhao Pu got off the sedan chair and hurriedly walked towards the Yangmin Palace. Since Ma Yun proposed to carry out a "one-three talent project", the wind catching room in charge of Zhao Pu immediately mobilized, not only made a key excerpt of the assessment of officials in Chu over the years, but also ordered his officials to immediately draft new assessment standards. Even so, Zhao Pu thought about it, but he still couldn't rest assured, after all, whether the officials are clean or not is not only an essential issue of officials, but also closely related to the intensity of supervision. He hurried over to report some suggestions to Ma Yun.

As soon as he turned the courtyard gate, he saw a hurried figure on the opposite side walking over, and after a careful glance, it turned out to be the eunuch Gao Jin. Gao Jin is quick to do things in the palace, although Zhao Pu appeared a little suddenly, but Gao Jin still stopped a second before the two of them will meet together, but after all, it is a sudden brake, and it stops, but he is holding a three-inch big book in his arms, and his body is swaying left and right, which is very funny. Before Zhao Pu could speak, he bowed down and saluted, "Lord Zhao, it's early." The slave and maid have given you a greeting. ”

Zhao Pu said indifferently: "Gao Jin, what are you going to do in such a hurry?"

Everyone knows that Zhao Pu is the iron buddy of Ma Yun, the king of Chu, and has a harem relationship. Gao Jin naturally couldn't afford to offend, so he replied respectfully: "Lord Zhao, the slave maid was ordered by the king to ask the queen how to set up this sect of people's mansion?" ”

"Zongren Mansion?" Zhao Pu, who was just saying hello at random and was about to take a step away, stopped his feet and asked, "What is this for?" ”

"Lord Hui, this is a department that the king ordered a few days ago to be set up to manage the children of the royal family."

Zhao Pu became interested, he dragged Gao Jin to the pavilion next to him, and asked, "Tell me, what is the king responsible for when he establishes this department?" ”

Gao Jin glanced at the serious Zhao Pu, a little drumming in his heart, he didn't know if he was talking too much, he said vaguely: "This...... This is to manage the children of the royal family and manage them in a unified manner...... What exactly does this matter, the slave and maid can only know after asking the mother. ”

Zhao Pu was not heartless, seeing Gao Jin's spitting appearance, he said in a deep voice: "Forget it, since you don't know, the old man himself will ask the king." As he spoke, he ignored Gao Jin and walked straight towards the Yangmin Palace.

As soon as he took two steps out, Gao Jin pondered the taste, and he hurriedly chased after him and said, "Lord Zhao, this Zongren Mansion was originally a method that the king came up with three days ago, and it was specifically responsible for distributing money to the children of the royal family." At that time, the king mentioned that, after the slave and maid sorted out the royal list, he went to ask the king, and the king sent the slave and maid to the queen's mother, saying that the queen's mother is the world, and this matter is of course decided by the mother, so ...... This is really not a slave who deliberately deceives adults. What kind of management does the mother want, the slave really doesn't know. ”

Zhao Pu smiled and said, "What's going on...... The stakes are very high, and I, as the middle prince of the imperial history, naturally want to ask the king. Since Gonggong Gao has something to do, then please do it. ”

Gao Jin opened his mouth, wanting to eat the greasy taste of a fly...... Now, it's really a bit of a person inside and out. Unexpectedly, Zhao Pu didn't care about the little Jiujiu in Gao Jin's heart at all, Zhao Pu thought very far-reaching, the officials ruled Qingming, and they wanted people to supervise, but the rise and fall of national politics depends more on the will of the king, but throughout history, the probability of meeting a good emperor is like buying a lottery ticket, the Tang Dynasty has been nearly three hundred years, there are twenty or thirty emperors, and the real good emperor can't even use up one hand. In this way, there should be a little restriction on the human master, and you can't say whatever you say. He has such an idea completely because of the current situation, why is the world so chaotic now, the root cause is that the power has not been well supervised, when Tang Xuanzong proposed the establishment of a feudal town, no one objected, so this country within a country came out. Now Ma Yun has established a new yamen at will, which is not a good habit, at least to learn about it......

Ma Yun is discussing military affairs with Li Xiang. In the eyes of the engineering brothers, he can be said to be knowledgeable in history, but he is blind to the history of the five dynasties, and he doesn't know anything except that the five dynasties are the five dynasties. Now, he can only estimate the age of Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin to calculate the development of the situation in the world: these two people have come out, and they are not too young, so to speak, the demise of the Great Jin is just around the corner. It is estimated that the historical process of the reunification of the world will also be accelerated. But what does Chu lack now? There is a lack of money, a lack of rich grain-producing land, and a lack of population...... Nothing is missing. When he wanted to do things seriously and become the emperor, he found that he really didn't have anything on hand, and the spies who came back from the Han State reported that the Han Kingdom in Lingnan could be said to be very rich, and the big ships of the Han Kingdom often went to Nanyang to do business, and paid a lot of taxes every year. However, Liu Hongxi, the lord of the Han Dynasty, was not satisfied, and it is said that he also sent people to pretend to be pirates and attack merchant ships. Liu Hongxi has only been emperor for three years, and no less than ten large palaces have been built. Ma Yun was looking greedy on the side, but Li Xiang and others persuaded Ma Yun to endure it again, firstly, the Great Jin couldn't support it, and he wanted to wait for the opportunity to get some cheap in the Central Plains, and secondly, this Li Tang was still trapped in Fujian, he couldn't pull it out, relying on Chu and Han alone, this kind of business could not be done, after all, even if Chu was stronger than Han, it was still strong. Knowing that his strength was not strong, Ma Yun was racking his brains to find a way to improve his strength, when he saw Zhao Pushi Shiran coming in.

"My lord, since the ministers have been in charge of the wind catching room, they know very well that they are bold and hard, and they are doing things with great effort, even if they have leisure time, they have to double the history books to see how one of the past dynasties has worked. The minister has watched it for so many days, does the king know what the minister thinks in his heart? In the Yangmin Palace, after the salute, Zhao Pu said Kankan.

Ma Yun is worried, if it is a different one, he may still be a little interested in guessing, but although Zhao Pu is not very old, it is more important to look good, he is still a man, how can he have the heart to guess the voice of this old man, at the moment, perfunctory: "But do you have any experience?" After saying this, he felt too bland again, and then added: "Brother Tuozhao's idea, that must be good." ”

Zhao Pu didn't care about Ma Yun's sycophants at all, and said directly: "King, although the ministers have different names in the past dynasties, they all have a supervision system to supervise officials. Moreover, this part of the force, in the early days of the dynasty, played a good role, but over time, it slowly deteriorated. The minister wants to ask the king, do you know what the reason is? ”

Other Ma Yun may not know, but Ma Yun is very clear about this, isn't it the difference between the rule of man and the rule of law? However, the longer Ma Yun spent in ancient times, the more he found that this ancient person was not stupid at all, that is, he had less high-tech knowledge than himself, and he had less grasp of the overall situation of history...... But has the scrutiny of officials weakened? ”

"No, King. In Yichen's view, it is not that the intensity of supervision has weakened, but that the master no longer attaches importance to it. The ancients had a cloud: a small change in 30 years, a big change in a hundred years. Why? It's because of the death of people and the rest of the government. Zhao Pu said slowly.

Ma Yun blinked his eyes, he didn't understand what Zhao Pu meant, but he was surprised that Zhao Pu could actually think of this - the death of people and the rest of the government, which is the biggest problem of human governance. Thinking about Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty, it is good to reform the law with a whip, but Zhang Juzheng went to see Emperor Hongwu on the front foot, and his house was raided on the back foot, and all the policies were abolished. Sometimes, even if a person is not dead, as long as he steps down, the policy has to change. Li Xiang's eyes couldn't stop wandering on Ma Yun and Zhao Pu, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhao Pu, who was waiting for Ma Yun to ask "so helpless", saw that Ma Yun seemed to be settled, he swallowed and spit, opened his mouth, stopped talking, and waited for Ma Yun to ask, he understood that the following words were a bit damaging, if he didn't understand Ma Yun as a person, had a good relationship with Ma Yun, and had a harem relationship with Qiao Niang, he wouldn't dare to say it.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and Ma Yun finally woke up, he looked at Zhao Pu and asked, "Brother Zhao, have you thought of any way?" ”

"Minister...... One of the reasons for this man's demise was that the new monarch did not understand the thoughts of the previous monarchs. Generally speaking, the founding monarchs are often reckless, understand the facts, and formulate policies that are more in line with the time, while the subsequent monarchs have less experience in this area, so it is a little taken for granted to do things. Zhao Pu said.

Li Xiang seemed a little surprised, of course he didn't think that Zhao Pu had nothing to do when he was full, so he ran over to find Ma Yunkan Dashan. He guessed Zhao Pu's thoughts, and he couldn't help but secretly admire Zhao Pu's courage.

Zhao Pu talked eloquently, which made Ma Yun have the feeling of talking about history on BBS for a while, he agreed with Zhao Pu's opinion, and echoed casually: "That is, people have many desires." The monarchs who founded the country were still able to control one or two, and the monarchs after that, without experiencing hardships, thought that money and so on could be inexhaustible, so they added more taxes and were extravagant. To put it bluntly, it is still the power of the lord of the people, and there is no certain limit, so ......"

"O king, Shengming. In the past thousand years, the one who can realize this point is the first person among the kings at that time. Zhao Pu knelt on the ground and complimented.

Ma Yun suddenly came to his senses, damn, this guy is too cunning, he actually got himself into it. This girl can't be trying to limit the power of the monarch, right?

Before Ma Yun said. Zhao Pu continued: "However, the lord is rich in the world and is arbitrary, so there is naturally no need to question it. However, before issuing the edict, can the lord consult the officials of the Zhongshu Province and the Shangshu Province under his door? After discussion, the edict was moved down and handed over to the Lang Zhong of the Zhongshu Province to confirm again, these Lang Zhong officials are small, and they often dare to tell the truth, and only after they have approved it, will the edict be officially implemented in the world. Of course, if these Langzhong do not agree, then there are two ways to solve it: one is to re-negotiate, and the other is to issue an edict to implement it again. In this way, it will not only not harm the power of the people to make their own decisions, but also prevent some ministers from abusing their power for personal gain. ”

Li Xiang on the side also knelt down and said: "King, the sage is incomparable, presumably when the six departments were set up in the middle of the matter, it was also in consideration that there was no political department, so they were set up in the middle of the matter to inspect the operation of the six departments. Presumably, there is always the idea of setting up relevant institutions in the province of Zhongshu, right? ”

The Ministry of Books is responsible for government decrees and policies, and the six departments of the Ministry of Books are responsible for their implementation. To put it bluntly, the policies and decrees of the Zhongshu Province are not the idea of the monarch, and the establishment of a position similar to that in the Zhongshu Province can initially dismiss the monarch's policy, which is a good way to limit the power of the monarch. Li Xiang couldn't help but secretly give Zhao Pu a thumbs up.

Of course, Li Xiang also understands that the reason why Zhao Pu dares to do this is because Ma Yun is different from other monarchs, this person, first, he attaches great importance to friendship, is very humane, and will not sin people because of his words; Second, if Ma Yun intentionally or unintentionally promotes a kind of benevolent government, that is, allowing scholars to discuss politics; Third, at the time of the Changsha Military Mutiny, Li Gao's guilt was enough for a capital crime in Li Xiang's opinion, but Ma Yun still called another one on Li Gao's crime - rebellion! This is nothing, the important thing is that Ma Yun said at the time: "Human life is at stake, most of these crimes are chasing after the wind and shadows, too light, if you are not a rebellion, how can you be sentenced to death?" In other words, in Ma Yun's subconscious, those who are officials, unless they commit the crime of treason, others seem to be exempt from death. This is undoubtedly an incentive for officials to tell the truth and do practical things. If the officials don't listen to it, there will be no tragedy in which a single word of death will occur.

Ma Yun hesitated for a long time, waved his hand, asked the maids who were waiting on the side to go down, and after helping them up, he said slowly: "Two adults, please get up, what you said, the widow is not unaware, the reason why it is not implemented now is because - the world is still in chaos, according to what you said, the widow will issue an edict, and it will be discussed two or three times, and the widow will not have so much time to wait." Therefore, the widow does not practice this for the time being. Ay...... Actually, behind closed doors, we are all our own people, to tell you the truth, the widow is not what the storyteller in your wind catching room advertises, what kind of star is the widow descending to earth...... Widows are also human beings, and they will make mistakes, so we hope that you can understand the thoughts of widows, and can help widows to pick up the revelations and make more suggestions...... Brother Zhao, you are right about this matter, when we take the world, or when the overall situation is decided, it will naturally be implemented. ”

Seeing that the two nodded, Ma Yun continued: "Widow, I recently thought of an idea, Brother Zhao, you can help me with the staff." The widow wants to launch a rectification campaign among officials, mainly using propaganda to make a good official? ”

Zhao Puhu looked at Ma Yun suspiciously, he couldn't figure out that Ma Yun had this idea in the first place? Or is it a small measure to limit the power of the monarch proposed by himself, and in turn he will be an army to educate himself on the ideology of loyalty to the monarch? How to be a good official, has Ma Yun already pointed out? Those who are loyal to the monarch are good officials, right? For a moment, he was a little chilly behind his back.
