Chapter 380: The world is still up to me
"Your Majesty, Hai Rui was admitted to the top of the exam, he should have been promoted, and there is nothing unreasonable about surpassing the imperial history of the left capital, but the minister doesn't understand why he should be transferred to the governor of Henan!"
The current political system of the Ming Dynasty is not the cabinet to manipulate all the powers, and the officials in charge of personnel appointments can issue orders to the provincial councils without going through the cabinet, that is, the provincial standing committees of later generations, and the provincial officials receive ministerial orders.
Naturally, the Ministry of Officials, like the Cabinet, is directly responsible to the Emperor, and the Emperor can appoint and dismiss officials directly through the Ministry of Officials.
This is different from the original history when the cabinet gradually took over all government affairs after the Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, so it also acted for the emperor with personnel power.
Therefore, Gao Gong, the first assistant of the cabinet, was also the subordinate who appointed Hai Rui as the governor of Henan a few days later, and as soon as he learned the news, he was busy asking to see Emperor Zhu Zailei.
"This is what the Emperor Taishang meant."
Zhu Zailei replied, and did not speak to Gao Gong again.
Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Then it can't be because it is the intention of the Emperor Taishang, so Hai Rui will be the governor of Henan, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is you, Your Majesty!" The governor and the officials did not go through the court recommendation of the political department, and directly issued the decree of the central government, which may make the people of the world dissatisfied! ”
"If Aiqing has any objections to this, you can talk to the Emperor Taishang, I only know that the Ming Dynasty is still the Emperor Taishang."
Zhu Zailei replied with such a sentence, and did not speak to Gao Gong again.
Gao Gong looked at Zhu Zailei's departing back and wanted to open his mouth to say something for a while, but he still kept his mouth shut, didn't say anything more, couldn't help but flick his sleeves and returned to the cabinet.
Xu Jie's incident made many civil officials understand what kind of character Hai Rui is, and they would rather offer Hai Rui high than let Hai Rui make a lot of chickens and dogs in the local area, and even make chickens and dogs jump in his hometown.
Even if there are really relatives of such law-abiding officials, once an official like Hai Jui, who only makes decisions for the people, becomes the parent official of his hometown, and once there are Diao people who take the opportunity to sue and slander their own family, they will only favor the people.
Therefore, Gao Gong also knew that once Hai Rui went to Henan to be the governor, his family would be watched by Hai Rui all the time.
This gives the feeling of high arch like a man's back.
Of course, what made Gao Gong even more uncomfortable was that he couldn't interfere with the appointment of a governor.
Gao Gong couldn't help but secretly think, is this still the head of the cabinet? Is he still the Minister of Parliament?
Gao Gong didn't understand, Zhu Hou illuminated white.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao asked Hai Rui to be the governor of Henan, not really intending to rectify Gao Gong, but Gao Gong became the high profile of the first assistant of the cabinet, so that Zhu Houzhao realized that Gao Gong's desire to control power is still very strong, and he believes that Gao Gong is by no means a first assistant who can be manipulated by others, and such a first assistant, his family is likely to be powerful in the local area because of his power.
And Hai Jui went to Henan to be the governor, just to be able to supervise the first assistant of the cabinet.
Zhu Houzhao wants to protect the interests of his royal family and the common people, rather than considering Gao Gong's feelings, so he must arrange a person in Gao Gong's hometown to watch his family for the imperial court.
"This is my test of his high arch! If he governs his family well, is upright, and is willing to serve the country with a solid heart, even if I send another Hai Rui, what can I do to arch him high, and now there is no way to sit together, what is he afraid of! If he doesn't think that's going to work, he can choose not to! ”
Zhu Houzhao's attitude was equally tough, and he had no intention of compromising after Zhu Zailei told him about Gao Gong's reaction.
The Ming Dynasty is still an empire.
In the final analysis, imperial power is still greater than everything.
Zhu Houzhao is willing to delegate power, and the Parliamentary Affairs Office can decide all major matters, and Gao Gong, as the first assistant to the cabinet and the minister of parliament, can directly intervene in the appointment of ministers.
However, if Zhu Houzhao is unwilling to delegate power, even the first assistant of the cabinet can only realize some of his own ideas in domestic affairs.
It's obvious.
As a high arch, even many people in the Ming Dynasty today don't want the world to be just Zhu Houzhao's final say.
These days.
Zhu Houzhao found that some newspapers and periodicals expressed dissatisfaction with the emperor's ability to decide on the appointment of officials without going through the Council.
It's not just the press that's criticizing.
The officials of the official department also began to discuss the matter, and they all believed that Hai Jui should not admit that such an appointment was in compliance and should refuse to go to the post.
"Father, it seems that the officials of the court and the people of the people are very dissatisfied with the appointment of officials by the central decree, you see?"
Emperor Zhu Zailei asked Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao smiled faintly: "I didn't discuss with them, I decided the matter of my own dictatorship, the people of the world are dissatisfied, it is naturally normal, but I still have this power, it is impossible to take care of the preferences of the people in the world, I just want Hai Rui to supervise him Gao Gong, no matter who says it, unless, they really have the same financial and military strength as me, and I will compromise then." ”
Zhu Houzhao said and said: "Just like you, Lei'er, you must not want me to decide everything in your heart, right?" ”
"My son doesn't dare", Zhu Zailei hurriedly replied.
"Don't dare, don't dare, but this idea must be there, but you and I are father and son, with the same interests and the same opinions, I will respect your choice, just as you respect my authority and consult me in everything, in fact, Gao Gong is the same, I also respect his decision to change the land and return to the river and use troops in the northwest, so I do not interfere with his arbitrariness in this regard;
However, I let Hai Rui become the governor of Henan, it is not for him to intervene, he cannot intervene, he must also respect the royal choice! Otherwise, wouldn't the royal family in this world be surnamed Gao instead of Zhu? ”
Zhu Houzhao said and said: "No matter how the world changes, it is still respected by the strong, in the economic structure of the Ming Dynasty, most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of me and the chaebols who followed me at the beginning, ordnance manufacturing, industry, infrastructure, land resources, power resources, mineral resources, banks, sea trade, etc., the most profitable industries are in the hands of our royal family and a few chaebols related to our royal family, and I have an absolute controlling stake in the industries of these chaebols, so this is why I can dominate the strength of the Ming Dynasty!" Does he have the strength to do so? ”
"Even if the army has withdrawn from the community organization of the Zhongjun Society now, the Royal Industrial Company and several military schools under my control can still control all the armies of the Ming Dynasty for me, so I will still have the final say in this world! This is a reality that no one can change, even if Da Ming is not the final word alone, it is also I who voluntarily gave up and was not taken away by others! ”
Zhu Houzhao said very blandly.
But Emperor Zhu Zailei could hear the majesty revealed in his father's words, and he also admitted that no matter how much cooking was advocated in this world, it still couldn't change the reality that the strong were respected after all.
Although his father and emperor retreated to the background, and even the big chaebols controlled by him retreated behind the scenes, but the entire Ming Dynasty's national economy and people's livelihood are all in their hands, and their companies and firms control tens of thousands of families casually, just like the big clans in the past.
Therefore, even if he is the emperor, even if Gao Gong is the head of the cabinet, it is difficult to force these people to listen to him.
And if you want to really control the entire Ming Dynasty, you can only wait for your father to leave this world and become the successor of all the royal family's industries before you can truly control the entire Ming Dynasty.
Hai Rui did not refuse to recognize the appointment of the imperial court, but went to Henan to take up his post.
The gentry in Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief and bid farewell to Hai Rui one after another.
The gentry in Henan gasped one after another, and they all became uneasy, and the common people were naturally happy, and the masses who had no way to petition for several years had already been waiting at the gates of various prefectures and counties.
Gao Gong did not choose to resign as the first assistant of the cabinet as a condition to compete with the Emperor Zhu Houzhao, he also knew that it was useless, not to mention that he really wanted to do something, after all, he had already made a promise to the people of the world at the court meeting at the beginning of the year, and even in order for him to implement his comprehensive medical insurance coverage and funding the north, he still had to rely on the support of the Emperor Taishang and several consortiums behind the Emperor.
Therefore, Gao Gong did nothing more than warn his family to pay attention to his words and deeds and restrain his behavior.
Zhu Houzhao was not embarrassed, and even took the initiative to convene several major consortia of the Ming Dynasty to hold a meeting on supporting the imperial court to revitalize the west and north.
On the second day after the meeting, the British Gong family, the Xinjian Bo family, the Liu Jin family, the Gu Dayong family, the Ma Wensheng family, the Jiao Fang family, and the Xu Jin family all signed a joint letter and were willing to let the imperial court impose a 10 percent monopoly tax.
Gao Gong was extremely happy when he found out, because this meant that the imperial court's national tax revenue would increase a lot, which was enough to support him to renovate the Tusi in the southwest and even to Siam, and it was enough to build the railway directly to the Altai Mountains.
Of course, Gao Gong also knew that this was all the energy of the Emperor Taishang, and his level was not enough to make these families spit out so much wealth.
Let these big chaebols take the initiative to apply for tax increases.
Now it is time for Zhu Houzhao's 80th birthday.
The people of the Ming Empire sincerely sighed at the longevity of the Emperor, and now even Gao Gong, the first assistant of the cabinet, also sincerely congratulated Zhu Houzhao on his longevity because Zhu Houzhao gave him a large sum of money and stable income.
Even, as a reward for Emperor Zhu Houzhao, Gao Gong took the initiative to ask the Ministry of Rites to hold a grand birthday ceremony for Emperor Zhu Houzhao, not only the national holiday, but also a grand parade and concert.
Although due to the development of capital industry, a large number of scholars still hoped that the Ming Dynasty would improve in the direction of cooking, but most of them were grateful for the changes brought to them by Zhu Houzhao.
Especially women, although Zhu Houzhao is actually an old pervert, but because of a series of policies conducive to women, such as deposing foot binding, prohibiting the abandonment of infants, and even treating it the same as murder, and legislating that daughters also have the right to inherit, he is still loved by almost all women.
Rao is Zhu Houzhao is 80 years old, and there are many people who recommend pillows, and there are even many young women with knowledge.
……
"It's only been a year since the death of the Queen Mother, and the Emperor Taishang announced that he was married to Wei Yuqing, who was only seventeen years old, I heard that this Wei Yuqing is still a high-ranking woman, and her father is Xuancheng Bowei Shouzheng, you talk about this is not very interesting, our Emperor His Majesty has a nineteen-year-old mother!"
"The Emperor Taishang said that this is free love, or is it the confession of Wei Yuqing on his birthday."
He Xinyin listened to the discussion on the tram about the recent Emperor Taishang, and couldn't help laughing for a while: "Ladies and gentlemen, although free love is popular nowadays, of course, He also advocates not wanting a prince or a father to dominate our own marriage, but do you think a seventeen-year-old beautiful woman will like an eighty-year-old man?"
According to He, it's just that this woman is vain, and she must have taken a fancy to the honorary status of the emperor! Of course, it is enough to see what the wealth paid by us tax payers has been done, and all the capital has been given to the emperor to marry a young and beautiful woman! ”
As soon as He Xinyin said this, the scholars who were discussing Zhu Houzhao's continuation of the string all looked sideways, and one of them recognized He Xinyin and hurriedly got up and saluted:
"It turned out to be Brother He, Wu Guozheng in the Freedom Society, and he has long admired Brother He's name, Brother He's words are also reasonable, and it is rumored that the emperor lives a luxurious life, and it is rumored that he likes Japanese women, and it is best to be eaten by Japanese women, all because of the former privy deputy envoy Qin Jin, it is because of the good of the Japanese women, and sent troops to the east to conquer the Japanese country, although it is said that all the Japanese are killed, but it is just to spend the imperial court treasury silver to satisfy their own ** ears, it is rumored that Qi Jiguang, the commander of the exterminating Japanese women, has selected the most beautiful five hundred Japanese women to expand the emperor's Japanese girl group, exclusively for its enjoyment! And the silver of the imperial treasury undoubtedly comes from our taxes, but it is used as the expense of the emperor's arrogance and lasciviousness, which is really infuriating! ”
"It turns out that Brother Wu is also from the Free Literature Society, and He Mou happens to be too, and he has admired it for a long time, just as Brother He said, the Emperor Taishang and his retainers back then occupied the benefits of the world, and the people of all industries have no place to stand, not to mention, they have to pay for their luxurious life, which is really unbearable and unbearable! Therefore, in He Mou's heart, he has never been a king and a father."
He Xinyin said this, and Wu Guozheng also nodded: "Brother He is right, the so-called Jun is just like the Bodhisattva in the temple, the true monarch in the Taoist temple, and worship every New Year's Day, we are all independent people, naturally we should be free, independent and equal individuals, and should not be controlled by anyone or force, and neither can our ancestors!" ”
"I heard that the Zhongjun Society has been reorganized recently, can Brother Wu hear about it?" He Xinyin asked.
"How can you not know, but it is really disappointing that except for that group of martial artists, no one has retreated from this evil society that is the slave of the emperor! It can be seen how many ignorant people there are in this world! Even Wu Xin, the political secretary of Shandong, my father, scolded Zhongjun Society for not being a thing a few years ago, and now he is looking for him, and he refuses to retreat! What hypocrisy! ”
Wu Guozheng replied.
"Either ignorant or just greedy people, but He believes that our Free Literature Society must also be reorganized, in He's view, our Free Literature Society should also have its own leadership organization, have its own social program, re-screen the members of the Literary Society, and only ask the like-minded people who are interested in establishing a free Ming Republic to join the Society."
He Xinyin said.
"Yes, Brother He's a very good suggestion! I believe that our Free Literary Society will surpass the Zhongjun Society in the future and realize the ideal of transforming the Ming Dynasty! ”
Wu Guozheng said.
"Now, let's each go and gather the people of the Free Literature Society, and besides, there is one more thing at the moment, are you interested in doing it together?" asked He Xinying.
"What's the matter?" Wu Guozheng and a few people behind him asked.
"Because several consortia took the initiative to apply for the payment of anti-monopoly tax, so the cabinet intends to implement anti-monopoly tax in the provinces, and let the local autonomy, and now the political secretary of Huguang Bu Zuo Bu political envoy Bi Qiang intends to tax the private monopoly merchants in various industries in Huguang, I have received the support of Mr. Cen in the matter of Nanjing officials to prepare for a big parade in Wuchang recently, and unite the major gentry to oppose Bi Keng, a cool official, to increase taxes! This matter is not only supported by officials in the DPRK and China, but His Royal Highness King Chang and His Royal Highness King Xi also secretly funded 500,000 silver dollars! ”
As soon as He Xinyin said this, Wu Guozheng laughed happily: "Dry!" When the time comes, listen to Brother He's arrangement! ”
