Chapter 560: The Method of Examination

When it comes to Daming Zhongxing. That must be the time when Zhu Yijun is so Emperor Wanli of Mingshenzong. Let's be more specific. That must refer to Zhang Juzheng. It is precisely because Zhang Juzheng ascended the throne with Zhu Yijun. After seizing the power of the court. A series of reforms have been implemented. Only then will the Ming Dynasty be rejuvenated.

Of course. Ultimately. Because of a variety of factors. Zhang Juzheng has done so much. There is no good end yet. And it doesn't seem to have helped the Ming Dynasty much. But these things. Let's not talk about whether there will be any changes because of Zhang Fan's reasons now. Even if history will return to its original path. But that was at least a decade away. There is no need to discuss this at this time.

Now. What needs to be discussed is Zhang Juzheng's new policy. His reforms. Zhang Juzheng's reforms. It seems to be in the eyes of posterity. The economic aspect is his greatest achievement. In particular, he proposed the implementation of the "One Whip Law" throughout the country. It's also really effective. But at the end of the day. Zhang Juzheng's reform of official governance. That's the most important thing. After all, for a feudal dynasty. It is the rule of officials that is an important part of the country. These officials ruled on behalf of the entire empire and ruled the people. Help the Emperor rule the empire. If these people have a problem. Then it means that there will be problems in this country.

So reform the rule of officials. That's the most important thing.

And in the reform plan proposed by Zhang Juzheng. This "test method" can be said to be his most important theory. It can even be said. Zhang Juzheng's reform of the rule of officials. Thanks to this "test method".

Now that Empress Dowager Li has read it, she has read it. Then it means that Zhang Juzheng is about to start a famous name. Of course. Most of those present would not have expected something so far away. There is only one Zhang Fan. I know a little bit in my heart. He wasn't very knowledgeable about history, though. But he had also heard the name of this "test method". In this moment. He thought it was a little dramatic. I'm standing right here. Witnessing the beginning of Zhang Juzheng's upcoming celebrity history. Even. Even Zhang Fan himself is involved in it. He was helping Zhang Juzheng.

This kind of congregation can only be seen in the afterlife. So far, I am in the midst of the changes that I am doing. It really made Zhang Fan feel a strange feeling in his heart.

"Exactly. Dowager. I saw these three words in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Li. Zhang Juzheng said. Wechen thought of some ways to get the court to reform the rule of officials. In general. This is the 'test method'. ”

"What is this 'test method'. There's something in there. Empress Dowager Li asked. Zhang Qing's family didn't let go of it and talked to the mourning family in detail. ”

"This ......," asked Empress Dowager Li. Zhang Juzheng was a little hesitant. Not like anything else. Just ...... "Queen Mother." The details of the 'test method' have been written in the memorabilia. Zhang Juzheng's words. I want the Empress Dowager Li to see it herself.

"The mourners saw it." Empress Dowager Li did not open the folds. Instead, the eyes are still on Zhang Juzheng's body. Said with a smile. "But the mourning family wants to hear what Zhang Qingjia has to say. Besides. There are too many official words on top of this recital. But the mourners may not be able to understand what is going on. can make Zhang Qing's family so confident. With this method, it was possible to reform the rule of officials in the court. So that the imperial court can 'teach officials, reward and punish, and order No. 1'. ”

These words. Empress Dowager Li said it with a smile on her face. It feels like she is deliberately making things difficult for Zhang Juzheng. This is not the case. Not to mention among those who are here now. Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, who know the Empress Dowager Li well. Even Zhang Fan knows. The reason why Empress Dowager Li is like this. It's all because she's really interested in the subject.

And obviously. Even Zhu Yijun, who doesn't know much about his mother. He also understands that his mother wants to understand what it contains. Of course. Even Zhu Yijun himself. I really want to know.

After Zhang Juzheng understood. But it's also a happy explanation. After all, there are some things. Say it yourself. It is indeed more convincing than just writing it on paper for people to see. And......

"And. Zhang Qing's house. Empress Dowager Li continued. Don't tell the mourners about those big things. Let's talk about something a little more nuanced. ”

"Wechen obeys." Zhang Juzheng bowed. Speak. Wechen has now thought of some details. Two of the most important are these. ”

"Oh. Which two. Empress Dowager Li asked.

"First." Zhang Juzheng cleared his throat again. Said. "Naturally, the Ministry of Prosecutorship is in charge of supervision. And today's Metropolitan Inspectorate, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, is Lord Ge Shouli. Be old and respectful. Loyal to the monarch and the country. There is no harbor of evil. ”

When Zhang Juzheng said this. The rest of the people present were nothing. But Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes at him. Especially when Zhang Juzheng said the words "old and serious". Zhu Yijun's eyes were about to roll over. This made Zhang Fan, who saw it. It's also a burst of laughter in my heart. It seems that Zhu Yijun is indeed because of the previous selection of someone to take over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Zhang Juzheng's opinion is really not small.

But it's no wonder. For Zhu Yijun, who is not in the world, he said. This was his first trouble. And it's a very significant thing, both in terms of relationship and consequence. And what happened that day. I'm afraid Zhu Yijun is very hard to forget. And now. Zhang Juzheng was actually able to tell him "shamelessly" in front of him, Ge Shouli was old and serious. To be honest, Zhu Yijun has some contempt for Zhang Ju. Even he couldn't stand it anymore.

But fortunately, the time and occasion are not suitable for what he says or does. Not to mention that there is Empress Dowager Li on the side. Zhu Yijun didn't dare to do that. Even Zhang Fan was shaking his head at him. And gesturing to him in secret. Let him refrain a bit.

And so. Wechen thought. This matter naturally has to be reached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I don't know if Zhang Ju didn't notice it. Or does he not have the leisure to meddle with other things now? In short, Zhang Juzheng didn't care about Zhu Yijun. Instead, he continued to say to Empress Dowager Li. Wechen came up with a solution. Whether it is the six departments of the imperial court or the Metropolitan Procuratorate. the things to be done by the officials under them. There should be a deadline. And whatever these people are trying to do. Or these deadlines. All of them should be recorded in three separate books.

"Among them. These three books. There should be six copies of one book, which should be kept together with the Metropolitan Procuratorate as a base book. And another one. Six sections should be sent. After all, if someone does something wrong. The officials of the six branches were able to detect it. Second, the officials of the six departments will definitely not let go of those officials who have made mistakes. ”

Speaking of which. Zhang Juzheng also smiled. Everyone else in the room laughed. Of course. The duty of the six departments is to review the officials of the six departments. Moreover, most of the people in the six subjects have a strong sense of justice in their hearts. Or they were "persecuted" by other officials in the court. So they make mistakes to other people in the court. Naturally, it is necessary to be more "attentive".

"Finally, there is one more that should be presented to the Cabinet. So that after something happened. The Cabinet has direct access to it. A lot less hassle. Zhang Juzheng continued.

"Hmm. That's not bad. Empress Dowager Li listened carefully to Zhang Juzheng's words. I thought about it carefully. just said. Apparently. She is also very concerned about this matter. Not sloppy. "Anything else."

"Second." Zhang Juzheng continued. "The book of accounts kept by the Six Ministries and the Metropolitan Inspectorate. As described above. Verification is carried out on a month-by-month basis. The officials or things mentioned above. Corresponds to the things that the officials to which they belong. One piece at a time. All need to log out one immediately. The reverse is also true. It must also be reported truthfully. If anyone dares to disobey. shall be punished for violation.

"And not only that. Even if it's six subjects. It can also be based on what is written in the account books. The six ministries are required to report on the status of implementation once every six months. If you find someone who disobeys the order. It is also necessary to discuss the matter according to the size of the matter.

"Wait until the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Or maybe it's after the six departments found something wrong. It can be reported to the Cabinet. Rather. The same is true of the things that are written in that book. Verification of the verification of the six sections.

"Things in the court. Difficult to elaborate. The forces of the parties. Implicated in each other. It is even more difficult to discern. Can't be seen clearly. Wechen this law. Although it is said to be divided into three parts. The illusion is bound to be much smaller. After all, these three parties are said to complement each other. But there are also a lot of fights involved. So the correlation is naturally much smaller. In the end, there may be some fraud. But it's definitely much better than it is today.

"After all, for these three parties. Compared to being implicated in each other. The fight is going to be a little more realistic. So come one. The mutual protection is also much smaller. When the time comes, look it up. There will be more truths. Besides. After all, three books. If only one or two of them are changed. But the things recorded do not correspond to the third book. Still not effective. But if you want to change all the things recorded in the three books. This seems to Weichen. It's not an easy thing to do. ”

What Zhang Juzheng said was not easy. Practically everyone present. Including Zhu Yijun. I know it all in my heart. It might be easier to change one or two. But I wanted to change all the things recorded in the three books. This is not what Zhang Juzheng said, it is not easy. That's simply not possible.

Among them, the one that is placed in the Metropolitan Inspectorate. There is Ge Shouli. This is absolutely impossible.

If you think so. Zhang Juzheng's idea is indeed good. If it can be implemented. The atmosphere of the imperial court will inevitably change greatly. But. Theory and practice will always be a little different. What kind of things will happen again in the future? No one could have predicted that.
