Chapter 848: Messing Around
This early dynasty has only begun for a while. This proposal has only just been put forward for a short time. This is already standing up and two people are in opposition. And these two people. I know that they are not related to each other. But now, it seems that it has been agreed upon when it is realized. One by one stood up and spoke.
And. These two are not ordinary "tacit cooperation". It's not just a white face. It's as simple as singing blackface. Even the order in which the two of them stood up and spoke. They all make people feel very cooperative.
The first is Yu Menggui. He stood up against it. However, the opposition is more modest. And Wu Wenjia, the second to stand up. But the rhetoric is fierce. Leave no room for error. And so on and so forth. But it was not discussed. It's amazing.
And that's not all. Even the order in which these two men came out seemed to have been arranged. First of all, Yu Menggui, a moderate. It's as if he came out to be a foreshadowing. It's just to lighten the mood for the fierce rhetoric that will come later. So that things don't get too off-putting.
And after that. Wu Wenjia said more intensely. But it doesn't make people feel that there is anything wrong. Even. With Yu Menggui's gentle foreshadowing. Not only did it pave the way for Wu Wenjia alone. There were even a lot of people who said something excited. It's not too much.
Of course. As a matter of fact. This kind of thing. Although it was not discussed beforehand. But at the end of the day. These people who can stand in the court. There are a few who don't have this kind of on-the-spot adaptability. It only takes a moment's thought. Look at the situation again. They're perfectly capable of grasping this kind of thing. Ultimately. It looked amazing at the time. But in hindsight. But it's inevitable.
Of course. After that, you have to be sure. You can't just just not be pressing. I have to come out with two people to ease the atmosphere. Even those who stand up to lighten the mood. It's all the opposite. But it's also a must.
Sure enough. Wait until Yu Menggui and Wu Wenjia have started. The atmosphere above this court can be regarded as "lively". More and more people are standing up and speaking.
Merely. Not all tricks are going to last long. And so it goes. Even every now and then, someone will come out and say something to lighten the mood. But after a long time. There are more and more people who stand up against it. But it can also make people lose patience.
It's not Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng was very calm about this matter. Even if the success or failure of this matter is what he is most concerned about now. But he didn't show any signs of concern at the moment. It's not that Zhang Juzheng's superficial kung fu is good. In fact, Zhang Fan, who was standing beside him, was also carefully observing him from time to time. But you can see it. Zhang Juzheng, both on the outside and on the inside. They don't seem to be in a hurry about this matter.
But. Zhang Fan didn't think there was anything weird about this. He thought about it carefully. is also able to understand the reason why Zhang Juzheng is so indifferent.
Although this matter is what Zhang Juzheng is most concerned about now. But actually. He's just in charge of coming up with ideas. Bring it up. And after that. In the end, it will not be able to do it. But it's not Zhang Juzheng. It depends on the meaning of the Empress Dowager Li. Empress Dowager Li agreed. Naturally, there will be other people who will help.
Zhang Fan saw that Feng Bao had just made people note who these people who stood up and spoke. And it has been asked to investigate whether these people have any tricks in their hands. And since Zhang Fan can see this. He didn't believe that Zhang Juzheng couldn't see it. Moreover. Maybe when even Zhang Fan didn't know anything. Zhang Juzheng is already planning to work with Feng Baoda in this regard. Now. Zhang Juzheng just needs to watch from the sidelines.
And below. There are still people who keep coming forward. Say something against it. Although there are many people who stand up and speak. But in Zhang Fan's opinion. These people are a little vexatious. To say at the beginning. Like Yu Menggui and Wu Wenjia. Although it is the beginning. But their arguments do make a lot of sense.
Truly. As Yu Menggui said. Now, after all, this "Examination Method" is only being tried in this water control matter. Although it is very important to control the water. But this is for the Ming Dynasty. For a big empire. It's just a very small thing that happens on a particular day of the year. And because it was fruitful in such a small thing. It was used to manage the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty. It's really a little reassuring.
Of course. This argument is certainly good. But there is also a problem. After all. Perfect. Things can't be perfect, either. Everything can only be used if it has to be proven over a long period of time. I'm afraid it doesn't matter from big to small. The development of this society is really going to be a problem.
And as Wu Wenjia said, the argument. That is, if the imperial court implements the "Examination Law". It is to change the ancestral laws without authorization. Although Zhang Fan doesn't remember that Wu Wenjia has any reason why he needs to oppose the "Examination Law" like this. Maybe he didn't think it was a good thing. In short. Wu Wenjia's argument is compared to Yu Menggui's. It makes people feel more reliable. It is also more tenable. After all, he has brought out all the ancestors and fathers. Such a big hat buttoned down. It's really hard to refute him.
Of course. For this matter. Zhang Fan didn't care even more. He, Wu Wenjia, is not an extremely smart person. Since he can imagine it. Others can't think of it. Zhang Juzheng couldn't think of it.
As a matter of fact. As early as Zhang Juzheng began to plan the beginning of all this. He had already thought of that. At that time, Zhang Juzheng had already entered the cabinet. He has a very good eye for people and things. And when Zhang Fan also began to help him. Zhang Juzheng mentioned this matter to him.
After all, this "Examination Law" is to be applied to the government. It is for the rulers of these officials. Other words. This is a statute that carries a lot of responsibility. And. This kind of thing. Since it will be thought out by Zhang Juzheng. That means that Zhang Juzheng has realized it. The methods used by the imperial court today are not very clever. There are a lot of loopholes. That's why there's a need for a better way to come out.
But a better way came out. At the same time, it means. The new approach once applied. Then the old method is facing being revised. There is even a possibility that it will be abolished. If not. The new approach is because there are many estimates. But they still have to make way for the old way. Then all of this is meaningless.
And obviously. On this matter. A new method was used. It means doing the old way. And here the old way. At the very least, it is a list formulated by our ancestors, which is not a mature method. Naturally, there is no problem in moving these things. And to put it bigger. That's a big deal. This is the method set by our ancestors. It is the ancestral ritual. Since it has already been said that it is the ancestral ritual. That's the foundation of the nation. How can you act in vain? And there is no reason to act in vain?
And Zhang Juzheng is not a stupid person. Naturally, he could have imagined this. From the moment he thought about it. He was in the process of considering and formulating the Examination Act. We have been looking for a solution to this problem. Later. Zhang Fan came to help Zhang Juzheng. It's also to help him find a way to solve this problem.
I have to say. Indeed, two people are more powerful than one person. Especially for Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan. Neither of them is stupid. Very smart. And two very smart people get together. It's not about power. Or go head-to-head. Rather, they want to solve the problem together. In this way, the efficiency is very good.
And it didn't take long. The two of them really thought of a way.
Regarding the specific means of implementation of the "Examination Law". It's been covered before. There are roughly three books. They are placed in the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the six departments, and the cabinet. It will be used as a proof of future verification and verification.
The reason why Zhang Juzheng did this. That's why. Among them, he has to consider comprehensively. Needless to say, the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Its role is to oversee. It's understandable to have an account book there.
And the six departments are with the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although it is said that neither rights nor duties are different. But at the end of the day. What they do. But the nature is the same. And. Those officials are indeed a bit annoying. I'm afraid even they won't be able to control their mouths.
And for Zhang Juzheng. The implementation of the "Examination Law" is imperative. If you don't give one copy of the six subjects at that time. I'm afraid this court doesn't know what kind of trouble will become. So in every sense of the word. It is inevitable that the six subjects will occupy a share.
And the Cabinet. Naturally, not to mention. Regardless of the ministers in the cabinet. The Cabinet is always the Cabinet. The importance of the cabinet was for the Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt about it. Just think about it. The 300-year history of the Ming Dynasty. Except how many bastard emperors who don't ask about things. But even so. The Ming Dynasty did not fall because of this. It is precisely because of the importance of the cabinet.
as the highest authority of an empire. Keep a book of accounts. Naturally, there is no need to discuss it anymore.
And as these places. Zhang Juzheng naturally took it all into account. Something, though. Even if you think about it, it's useless. Or even if it's too well thought out. But it is also invincible. As long as people are in need. Even if the other party is reasonable. But he can still fight for three points unreasonably.
But. These are not problems anymore. If it's just two or three people. It's still a bit tricky. But now. More and more people are coming forward to speak. And more and more of them are some nonsense that is simply unreasonable.
And that's it. It will only make things more powerful for Zhang Juzheng.
