Chapter 389: The Way of Replacement (1st Update)
Zhao Ruosu was a teacher who was even stricter than Yang Feng, and he was equally outspoken and daring, as long as the emperor was not angry enough to kill someone, he dared to say anything. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Your Majesty should not allow the King of the East China Sea to arrest people in private." As soon as he saw the emperor, he said such a sentence.
"That's an assassin, the king of the East Sea needs to act cheaply." Han Ruzi argued.
"Here's the problem, the King of the East Sea knows that he can act cheaply, does Jing Zhaoyin know?"
Han Ruzi was silent.
Zhao Ruosu continued: "The king of the East China Sea and the guards broke into the inn to arrest people, according to the law of Great Chu, this matter should be reported layer by layer, directly to Jing Zhao Yin's mansion, Jing Zhao Yin has two options at the moment: one is to guess that the arrest is His Majesty's holy decree, so he concealed it and suppressed the case; The second is to enforce the law impartially and send people to the door to ask His Majesty to explain clearly. Which would Your Majesty prefer to see? ā
"Will the Jingzhao Yin Mansion let His Majesty explain in person?"
Zhao Ruosu shook his head, "As long as the officials of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion enter the gate of the Tired Marquis Mansion, even if it is just an ordinary guard soldier explaining to him, in the eyes of outsiders, His Majesty is also explaining." ā
Han Ruzi smiled, "The emperor in the eyes of outsiders is always different from the real emperor. ā
Zhao Ruosu arched his hand, "Exactly, if Your Majesty does not pay attention to the 'emperor in the eyes of outsiders', the difference between the two will become bigger and bigger, and when Your Majesty feels that something is incomprehensible, the problem is often here." ā
"Well, I don't like to have a division come to the door, no one has come all day, so I shouldn't come, right?"
"That's probably the case, but if you don't come, the consequences will be even more serious."
"How?" Han Ruzi asked politely, although Zhao Ruosu's words were out of place, they could indeed inspire him a lot.
"The key is in the word 'guess', Jing Zhaoyin Mansion doesn't know His Majesty's true intentions, and he hasn't seen the holy decree, so he can only guess: Since the King of the East China Sea and the Su Guard soldiers are doing it themselves, it should be to carry out His Majesty's will. This time the government guessed correctly, but does Your Majesty want the government to keep guessing? What if I guess incorrectly in the future? ā
"You're right, it's my mistake that I didn't know what I didn't know." Han Ruzi straightened his expression and no longer treated Zhao Ruosu with a casual attitude, if the yamen everywhere were accustomed to guessing, then the power of the East China Sea King and the Su Wei Camp would be greater, "If according to the rules of the imperial court, I want to act cheaply and arrest the assassin in time, what should I do?" ā
Zhao Ruosu bowed and saluted, "The arrest of criminals in the capital should be the responsibility of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and His Majesty can send an envoy to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and the envoy can act cheaply, just report to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion in time afterwards, so that the rules and laws must be observed." The envoy was temporarily stationed and withdrew as soon as the matter was completed, and the impact on the government was not great. ā
"Since the envoys are stationed in Jingzhaoyin's mansion, they will also use their tolerance to arrest people, right? I'm afraid that it will leak secrets. Han Ruzi knows very well that many officials, especially those small officials, have a close relationship with Haojie, and even are Haojie himself, and for the sake of morality, they may be disloyal to the court.
"There will be such a possibility, please weigh the pros and cons, in addition, the envoy can also use the camp of the guard, but not too much, too often, and no matter what, keep an official from the Jing Zhaoyin Mansion by his side."
"Send a messenger...... It's too simple to just call the messenger, and it should be named. "Han Ruzi already has a candidate in mind.
"Supervising the arrest of thieves in ancient times, there were embroidered messengers, Your Majesty can borrow them, but the embroidered messengers are usually served by important ministers of the imperial court, if Your Majesty wants to let the close ministers around him serve, maybe you can lower a level, and the law enforcer is still black, so you can call it 'Xuanyi Messenger'."
Han Ruzi thought it was good, "Jin Chunzhong, a regular attendant of the free horse, can take this position." ā
Zhao Ruosu retreated, he was only responsible for correcting the emperor's behavior, and would never interfere with the emperor's employment.
Han Ruzi asked again: "I intend to renew the imperial court, it is safe to start with the big exam in Ming Chun, but it is too slow, what can I do before that?" Of course, according to the rules of the imperial court. ā
Rules are good for the emperor, the emperor does not follow the rules, and the officials under him will have excuses and means to be unruly, when most ministers do not follow the rules, the emperor will not be able to distinguish between talent and mediocrity, loyalty and treachery.
"The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, and down is the left and right imperial history, six books, and Dali Siqing, in addition to the prime minister, the other nine people may not be the highest, but they hold the most real power, it is difficult to update the imperial court, it is slightly easier to replace the minister, which one does Your Majesty want to replace?" Zhao Ruosu paused, "Or which ones?" ā
Han Ruzi let out a long hum, "Can you change people now?" ā
"Now you can get started. The prime minister's position is high and powerful, and it cannot be easily shaken, and is usually replaced by one of the left and right imperial historians, and His Majesty has not appointed a new imperial historian for a long time, so there must be no suitable candidate. ā
Han Ruzi nodded, Xiao Sheng was martyred for the country on the left, and Shen Mingzhi took over as prime minister on the right.
"The imperial history is responsible for supervision, and the experience of officials must be very rich, usually in more than three departments have served as a scholar, the current Ministry of Officials Shangshu Feng Ju, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Yuan Jiuding, and the Ministry of War Shangshu Jiang Juying meet this requirement, Your Majesty can not choose these three people."
"Can't I skip the ranks to promote ministers? If I remember correctly, Emperor Wu seems to have done this a lot. ā
Zhao Ruosu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is indeed wrong, that is the Martial Emperor in everyone's minds, Your Majesty is influenced by everyone, and he also thinks that Emperor Martial can do whatever he wants." ā
"Isn't it?"
"Emperor Wu is well versed in the way of governing ministers, never insisted on going his own way when appointing ministers, in order to let Yin Wuwu take over the position of prime minister, Emperor Wu had dismissed three prime ministers one after another within half a year, until it was Yin Wuwu's turn, the process was faster, but there was no breaking of the rules."
Han Ruzi decided to re-read the unfinalized Emperor Wu Ji.
"I'm a little curious, what did Emperor Wu fancy about Prime Minister Yin?" Han Ruzi clearly remembered Yin Wuwu, who was an old and sleek minister, never took responsibility, and always hid the farthest in case of trouble, which was diametrically opposed to Emperor Wu's resolute and resolute style.
Zhao Ruosu replied: "Yin is familiar with the rules of the imperial court, and he is strong and soft with Emperor Wu, and cooperates seamlessly. ā
Emperor Wu, who is known for his toughness, really needs a gentle prime minister to adjust it, Han Ruzi thought for a while, "How many levels is the difference between being promoted from the prince of the country to the rank of slaughter?" How long does it take? ā
Han Ruzi already has a future prime minister candidate in his heart, that is Qu Zixi, because of his meritorious service in Jincheng, Qu Zixi has been promoted to the priest of the country. It stands to reason that the emperor should never reveal the prime minister's candidate to outsiders, but he now trusts Zhao Ruosu very much and knows that he will not talk nonsense to outsiders.
Zhao Ruosu pondered for a moment, "The prince of the country can be promoted to the squire first, the household department is in charge of the world's household account money and food, and the affairs are the most complicated, if Your Majesty intends to test this person, let him go to the household department for a period of time, familiarize himself with the overall situation of Dachu, and then he can be transferred to the criminal department or the Ministry of Industry, responsible for several specific cases or projects, and then he can be a scholar, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and then you can transfer this person back to the old department to see how he deals with his former subordinates, and finally when he is the secretary of the ministry, in this position can be examined this person's eyesight in selecting merit and ability." At this point, it is not far from the position of prime minister, and the most unfortunate can afford to take on the position of controlling the imperial history. ā
"It's so complicated!" Han Ruzi was taken aback.
"Your Majesty is often in the army, and he only knows the difficulty of marching and fighting, but he does not know the difficulty of defending and governing the country, especially the need for a competent prime minister."
Han Ruzi nodded reluctantly, he had tried very hard to trust Zhao Ruosu, but from time to time he still felt that this guy seemed to be speaking for the minister, "After a round of turns, why will it take three or five years?" ā
"At least five years."
"Hey, it's really a hassle to want to change the prime minister."
"When Emperor Wu appointed these officials, he wanted these 'troubles', so that the new emperor's ascension to the throne could ensure stability for several years, and after three or five years, the ministers trusted by the new emperor could also be rotated and handed over smoothly."
Han Ruzi laughed, and suddenly understood what the problem was, when Emperor Wu elected this group of ministers, he saw that the future emperor was Emperor Huan, so it was necessary to leave a group of ministers who were old and serious, but it was easier to deal with, if Emperor Huan reigned long enough, he would also leave a similar set of teams for the successor, but the accident happened, Emperor Huan died early, and the successor was the unprepared Han Ruzi, catching up with the internal and external troubles of Dachu, the most important thing is that this emperor has not been a prince and has not cultivated his ministers in advance, As a result, the old and new imperial courts could not be replaced smoothly.
When Han Ruzi summoned Zhao Ruosu, he didn't want to talk so much and so deeply, seeing that the candle was getting shorter and shorter, he said, "Let's come here first tonight." ā
"Your Majesty rest early, and Weichen will be with you." Zhao Ruosu, who became a Fucheng, is a "micro-minister" instead of a "grass people".
Zhao Ruosu retreated to the door, and the emperor stopped him, "The first emperor is in power, but there should be a few trusted ministers, who are they?" ā
Zhao Ruosu was reluctant to directly say the name, "Weichen has made the rotation order of the ministers of the court very clear, and His Majesty will naturally understand the list of officials appointed and dismissed since the first emperor ascended the throne." ā
Han Ruzi often received questions from Yang Feng, so he didn't feel that Zhao Ruosu was rude, "Okay." ā
Zhao Ruosu retreated, and Han Ruzi pondered that this matter did not need to be too formal, and he could ask Feng Ju, the official who entered the mansion, tomorrow afternoon.
Emperor Wu left behind a group of ministers who had been in power for too long, even if they could not be replaced by people they admired for the time being, Han Ruzi also hoped to make some changes as much as possible, maybe there were talents among the ministers trained by his father.
He didn't plan to go back to the bedroom to rest tonight, he wanted to find a copy of the Martial Emperor Ji to see, but he didn't have it at hand, so he called casually: "Meng E." ā
Meng E often borrowed the emperor's books to read, and Emperor Wu Ji was not on the desk, so it should be in her room.
There was no response, and Han Ruzi remembered that Meng E couldn't go to the emperor's side casually now, so he called the eunuch outside, "Pass on Wang He." ā
Wang He arrived soon, and Han Ruzi only had one order: "Pass Meng'e." ā
Wang He showed obvious hesitation, "Your Majesty has given us three days, please allow us to investigate......"
"No need." Han Ruzi accentuated his tone, "I understand your difficulties and the importance of rules, but if there are rules everywhere, what's the use of asking me?" ā
This was a little heavy, Wang He was startled, and he didn't dare to say more, so he immediately responded and bowed back.
Han Ruzi's words were actually meant to be said to Zhao Ruosu, who was not present, as the emperor, he could abide by the rules, but what about the enemies of Dachu? And what about the extremely untrustworthy Huns? Will they give the Great Chu court time to gradually adjust?
Zhao Ruosu did point out a path, but Han Ruzi had to decide for himself whether to walk or hurry. (To be continued.) )
