Chapter 561: But I want to be without fault

"Well, this method is feasible," after listening to Zhang Juzheng's detailed description, Empress Dowager Li nodded and said, "Divided into three account books, it will be checked in the future, if there is any problem in it, it is indeed clear at a glance, in this way, it is not difficult to distinguish rewards and punishments, and besides, the three account books, especially one of them, is still in the hands of the Ge Qing family in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, even if someone wants to change it, it will be even more difficult,"

Yes, the so-called repeatedly, but can not be repeated, it is actually a truth here, even if someone wants to cover up what they have done, or want to exaggerate their own merits, maybe this person is indeed capable, and his hands and eyes are open, and he wants to change one or two of the account books, it is quite easy, but after all, there are three account books, and in the future, they will be verified, and the three account books must be taken out and checked at the same time, and, most importantly, one of them is in Ge Shouli's hands, which means, It's almost impossible to change it.

However, although it can be regarded as foolproof, everyone present can't help but think of the same thing in their hearts.

Since it is said that the account books in Ge Shouli's hands are almost impossible to change, then on the contrary, that is to say, the two account books in the six sections and the cabinet are not very reliable, although it is not possible to change anything, and there will be no loss in the future, but if this matter is reversed, it is equivalent to saying that the six branches and the cabinet are not reliable.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying this, after all, the six departments and the cabinet are like this, not to mention, how many people in the six departments are dissatisfied, and vent their personal anger in the name of presiding over justice, and the cabinet, it sounds like the highest organization in the world of the imperial court, but in fact, the cabinet struggle in the Ming Dynasty has never been interrupted.

Now, at most, it is because Zhang Juzheng is the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, and no one in the DPRK or the cabinet will get along with him, and the cabinet has calmed down, but in fact, there is a dominant cabinet, which is more difficult to guard against than a cabinet with two people fighting, after all, if there is only Zhang Juzheng alone, it is not that he does not believe him, but because a person is very easy to be misled by many things.

And Zhang Juzheng is not a person who will not be involved in any forces at all, after all, judging from the current situation, he is on the same side as Feng Bao, and now, Feng Bao is in power in the court, and Feng Bao is still thinking about how to strengthen his power, eliminate people who are dissatisfied with him or who are not compatible with him, and want to install a lot of his own people.

And Zhang Juzheng, although he doesn't say how much ambition and ambition he has, but he is a very assertive person, being assertive is not a bad thing, but it is not a good thing, after all, he is a person who needs to deal with countless national affairs every day, and even every decision he makes is very important, and people who are too assertive will unconsciously add a lot of subjective thoughts on weekdays, and cannot look at the problem objectively and fairly.

So, the problem appeared here, and Zhang Juzheng said this to the Empress Dowager Li now, which shows that he is not without self-knowledge, and he himself has already understood this problem.

Therefore, even now, Zhang Juzheng himself has said that he is not at ease with the six branches and the cabinet led by him, but at the very least, there is still a Ge Shouli who can completely reassure people, so it seems that there is no need to worry too much.

And this kind of thing, it's better to say it, and if something really happens in the future, it's good to have an explanation, and it won't seem too embarrassing.

But even so, when Zhang Juzheng said this, the people present still felt very embarrassed in their hearts, but it was just embarrassment, and there was no further emotion, after all, Zhang Juzheng did this can already be regarded as a self-defeating mouth, since he is like this, there is no need for others to continue to fall into the ground.

"However, Zhang Qing's family," Empress Dowager Li continued to ask, "This method, the mourning family is also the first time to hear it, just listening to it, it is indeed foolproof, but when it is really implemented, it will inevitably encounter a lot of trouble, the mourning family does not refer to how to read such a decision to the civil and military officials in the court, the mourning family knows that in this way, there will inevitably be objections below, but that is something that the mourning family needs to worry about, the mourning family just thinks that if this method is implemented, it will inevitably encounter some trouble, Perhaps there are some gaps in this method that cannot be found yet; Maybe after a long time, someone will find a hole to drill into.

"Therefore, the mourning family wants Zhang Qing's family to make a decision under the mourning family, go back and think about it again, see if there are any shortcomings, and do a good job to be foolproof,"

"Back to the Queen Mother, Wechen knows," Zhang Juzheng said, "After Wechen goes back, he will definitely take a good look at it again, if there is any missing in this method, Wechen will definitely find a way to make up for it in time,"

"Well, that's it," said Empress Dowager Li, "and one more thing,"

"Please also ask the Queen Mother to speak clearly," Zhang Juzheng said.

"This method may be good, but just now Zhang Qing's family you also said one thing, it seems that there is no solution in this 'test method'," Empress Dowager Li said, "It is about the verification of officials in the imperial court, and the 'test method' proposed by Zhang Qing's family, which is in the view of the mourning family, most of them are aimed at officials in Beijing, and my Ming Dynasty will be vast, and there are many people under the rule, and there are many officials. The actions of the officials of the Seven Grades are all recorded in the account books.

"Of course, this can also be delegated to the tame governors of the provinces to record on their behalf, and also according to the methods in the imperial court, but if you think about the local affairs, it is much more complicated than in the imperial court, and the involvement between local officials is even more than that between the court, in case they are connected with each other and deceive together, wouldn't it be even more difficult to do,"

"Empress Dowager Shengming," Zhang Juzheng said, "Wechen also thought of this problem, so this method of bookkeeping is not applicable in the place, so Wechen thought of other methods,"

"Oh, what's the solution," Empress Dowager Li asked.

"Now that there is this method, there will be no need for the 'Jingcha' in the DPRK in the future, and it will be even more difficult for those people to cheat," Zhang Juzheng said, "but for the local government, the 'big plan' cannot be abolished, but it needs to be changed."

"Weichen wants to make the local officials, no matter what kind of decision they make, and no matter how big or small the matter is, they must also report to the imperial court for future verification, but the 'big plan' can no longer be on time every three years as in the past, after all, in that case, there are still people who will come up with a way to deal with the imperial court,"

"That'...... What does the Qing family mean ......," Empress Dowager Li asked.

"The 'big plan' can't be scrapped, but the time is no longer fixed," Zhang Juzheng replied, "and it can't be done every three years like in the past."

"Then, how often do you think it's most appropriate for the Qing family to carry out the 'big plan' at intervals," Empress Dowager Li asked.

"This Weichen doesn't know," Zhang Juzheng said, "So Weichen thinks that if the court or His Majesty feels that it is necessary, then a 'big plan' must be carried out,"

"This ...... This is also a way," Empress Dowager Li agreed with Zhang Juzheng's words, but it was only some, "However, the mourning family is a little worried, frequent verification of officials can indeed allow them to keep to themselves, and they can also find out a lot of problems, but after all, the matter of the 'big plan' affects the magistrates of the whole country, and the territory of my Ming Dynasty is large, and the mourning family is afraid, if the 'big plan' is too frequent, it will be too laborious and costly,"

"Wechen naturally thought of this," Zhang Juzheng said, "but Wechen doesn't think it's a problem,"

"Oh," Empress Dowager Li was once again deeply interested in Zhang Juzheng's words.

"In this case, although it may come once every three years, maybe once a year, or even once every three months," Zhang Juzheng explained, "but these are all decisions made by the imperial court and His Majesty, and the officials below don't know what His Majesty and the imperial court think, so in this case, they will always worry about whether they have just done something unseemly, and the imperial court will send someone down to check, in that case, they will not be able to cover it up."

"And when that time comes, they will understand that the only way to help them get out of this predicament is not to come up with any foolproof greedy methods, but not to dare at all, of course, maybe these people do not bend the law for bribes, but they may not do anything good for the benefit of the country and the people, but sometimes, the requirements for these people are not too high, they don't do bad things, it is already good,"

Hearing Zhang Juzheng say this, several people present didn't know what to say for a while.

However, several people present had to admit in their hearts that what Zhang Juzheng said was the truth, as the saying goes, "do not seek merit but seek no fault", and today's officialdom has reached such a situation, no fault is already meritorious, if you still want to be too demanding, it is really unrealistic.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng said this, although it was very negative, but he also had to admit that what he said was all the truth.

They don't need all the officials in the world to be the kind of people who dedicate their lives to the country and the people, they just need these people not to go to the cholera people and keep to themselves.
