The first person who advocated a whip law was Fu Hanchen, the imperial historian in March of the tenth year of Jiajing, when silence had not yet been born. Then a whipping method began to be tried in parts of the southeast, and for obvious reasons, it left the officials and gentry with no loopholes. The former can't get the benefits, and the latter can't escape taxes, so they naturally have to make trouble with the officials who promote it.

Because there have always been veto voices in the court, and the emperor has never made up his mind to make a whip law as a national policy. Therefore, the officials of the premises did not get the support of the law, and the gentry also had a fluke mentality, and it was often the first official who struggled to implement the law.

But once you leave office, everything is back to square one, and your successor has to start from scratch.

However, the implementation of the law of codification should not be due to the advocacy of the officials, but also to the demand of the people. So despite the resistance, it is gradually being promoted. By the 40 years of Jiajing, the implementation area had expanded from the south to the north, and Jiangxi, Xijiang, Nanzhili, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Shandong all had relatively mature experience.

Especially after Gao Gong came to power, he ordered Liu Guangji to be in Huguang, Pang Shangpeng in Jiangxi, Hai Rui in Nanzhili, and Lin Run in Shandong, and the whole province vigorously promoted it, and it already had the conditions for promotion throughout the country.

On the whole, however, there are many arguments for and against it, with supporters believing that the burden of a whip law is fair, that it is difficult to commit fraud, that the tax amount is determined, and that it is easy to levy and lose, while those who reject it believe that the burden is not satisfied, that it has no universal applicability, that the levy of money is unfortunate in agriculture, and that it is easy to embezzle.

Among the voices of veto, especially the leader of the Qingliu in the court, Zuodu Yushi Ge Shouli, this clear-cut anti-article fighter, since this matter was put on the agenda, he has galloped in many directions and shouted loudly, hoping to prevent the formation of a resolution.

But Yu is very clear that the number of votes that cross the ordinary in the court discussion is in the hands of Shen Mo, and he has many officials who support a whip law, among which the seven votes of the household department that are not controlled by Shen Mo will definitely support the case, according to the voting style formulated last year, in the court push and court discussion, the first assistant of the cabinet counts five votes: the second assistant, the cabinet member with a rank, the Shangshu with a plus one rank, and the imperial history with a plus one rank count four: the cabinet member of the second rank, the imperial history of the capital, and the book count three: the shilang of the third grade, and the imperial history and Siqing count two. There are also four products of Guozi Priest Wine, Shaoqing, etc., which are counted as one, so they will definitely pass when the court pushes.

But through the court push, in fact, it means that the world can be promulgated, because the resolution formed by the court and the appointment formed by the court push, the six sections have the right to refute. In other words, all six subjects can reject it.

At the beginning of the struggle against Feng Bao, Kedao was an ally on the united front, and Ge Shouli, as the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, thought that he could influence those section chiefs with great official power. He first asked a few imperial historians to blow the wind, and then personally went out to find Han Ji, the main seat of the six branches, hoping that he could promote the refutation.

Han Ji couldn't help but scold, are you old and confused? And no, this is the policy set by my teacher, how can I veto it as a student. It's not my teacher anymore, Shen Ge is benevolent, I don't care if I came up with the idea to give him shoes to wear, I have to say it well, how can I demolish the stage for Lord Shoufu?

Besides, he can't dismantle it if he wants to. Because of the right to refute the six branches, last year also gave a clear regulation through the court meeting. For the ministry affairs of the six ministries, the corresponding section can be dismissed.

However, when it comes to national affairs at the level of the court, it is necessary to give one person one vote in the six sections, and decide whether to refute it by means of voting.

The Six Corridors, which have always given people unity, are actually the loosest in structure. The six departments are not subordinate to each other, and even the things in each department are not purely subordinate relationships, and everyone's authority is equal, and they are all given to the matter, similar to the foreman, but only the person in charge in name.

Therefore, he is only the nominal leader of the six department corridors, and he can't even control his colleagues in the department. Han Ji knew that half of the six subjects were originally the disciples of Lord Shoufu. And Shen Ge's old treatment of the six subjects is really not thin, and no, the salary is the same as that of the third-grade official.

This pair of people who have always been hard to do things is not only to send charcoal in the snow, solve problems, but also to add glory and raise their eyebrows, so everyone is in the way of face, not on their lips, but in their hearts they are very grateful to Lord Shoufu.

In addition, the high-arch disciples who account for most of the six branches, as well as some of Zhang Juzheng's people, will not veto their old masters, so he dares to vote, and this bill will definitely be passed in the Six Branches Corridor.

But he didn't dare to blame the old man Ge, who was old and virtuous, so he could only laugh softly, and tell him that the act of the right to refute the six branches was to ask fifty-two people to vote together in the matter, although he was in the name of the boss, but in fact, he only had one more vote than others, and he didn't care at all.

"Don't talk to me about useless things!" How old Ge Shouli is, he has seen more people than he has eaten, and he quickly saw through Section Chief Han's thoughts, and immediately lowered his face and said: "The criteria for the selection of speech officials in the imperial court are those from wealthy families, those from wealthy places, and those with smooth personalities. Most of them are bitter backgrounds and tough guys from the southwest and northwest, so why do you have to follow the southern barbarians! ”

"Your Shousuke-sama is a Nanban?" What does Han Ji do? Speaker! It's a mouthful of kung fu. seized the loopholes in Uncle Ge's old age and words, and expounded indiscriminately: "The Northern Song Dynasty has passed five hundred years, how can you still have a distinction between north and south? ”

There is an allusion in this, when the Northern Song Dynasty was established, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once established the ancestral system and said that the southerners must not be the prime minister" because the Southern Tang, Wuyue, and Southern Han in the south at that time belonged to the conquered areas. In other words, the people in these places are all people who have lost the country, and Zhao Kuangyin believes that their character is not suitable for ruling the world. But this ancestral system was broken when Zhenzong was born, and Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei were southerners who ascended to the prime minister's throne one after another. But the most famous southerner prime minister has to belong to Wang Anshi and Cai Jing, the two ministers who were directly responsible for the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.

So when it comes to this stubble, people think of these two. Han Ji's meaning is obvious, do you want to compare Lord Shoufu to Wang Xianggong, or Cai Xianggong Ge Shouli was on the scene at that time, of course he didn't mean that, he was a southern barbarian, in fact, he was referring to those who implemented a whip law in the south. But the old man's self-respecting identity can't be explained, and he doesn't even have interest in talking to Han Ji.

"Since Section Chief Han is embarrassed, let's treat it as if the old man hasn't come." After a few more words, Ge Shouli left the Six Branches Corridor.

It is the practice of the imperial court that the old ministers who are more than 70 years old, regardless of their grade, give Yu to take advantage of the public opinion. Ge Shouli has been in the second grade exam for many years, and he can already sit in a sedan chair carried by four people. Ge Shouli sat in the sedan chair and began to sulk. It didn't take long for him to suddenly feel relieved, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the sedan chair drivers were grinding the sedan chair bars and preparing to turn out of the Forbidden City. ”

…… Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Mouth...... The mouth ......, the mouth ...... Mouth ......, "............ Mouth...... The mouth ......, the mouth ...... Mouth...... In the Kouwenyuan Pavilion, he sat silently in the first assistant duty room, and when he heard that Ge Shouli was coming, he quickly left what he was doing and went to the door of the cabinet to greet him.

Ge Shouli's stubborn temper is out of the name. Because of a whip law, he scolded Zhang Juzheng, and during Gao Gong's tenure as the first assistant, he did not go to the cabinet once. In addition to the court discussion, if there is really something, Gao Gong has to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to find him in person.

is such a big name who even has to be called a senior in the high arch. So although Shen Mo is his boss, he still has to respect him. Fortunately, Shen Mo's personality is modest, and he has not changed in the slightest when he becomes the first assistant, and he used to perform a late birthday ceremony every time he met, but now it is still the same.

Although Ge Shouli is not in general, he has a very good impression of silence in his heart. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't be coming to the Cabinet again today.

Seeing that Zhuo Shouli had already gotten off the sedan chair, Shen Mo hurriedly took two quick steps, and said with both hands: "You have something to do, just call me over, why did you come in person?" ”

Ge Shouli shook his head, even if he was honest, he joked: "Now that he is the first assistant, how can the old man rely on the old man and sell the old and lose the rules of the court?" "But because I was angry just now in the Sixth Branch, I was a little rushed to say this.

Silent and careless, he invited Ge Shouli into the Huirong Hall, gave him the main seat, and sat on the right side of the head. After taking a few sips of tea, Ge Shouli said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Jiangnan, let's be a friend chatting, let me ask, this Shoufu has been a member for half a year, how does it feel?" ”

"Hehe" silently sipped tea, paused before smiling bitterly: "Eight words, trembling,

Conscientious, like walking on thin ice. ”

"Okay, that's exactly what the prime minister should be in." Ge Shouli nodded his head and said, "The old decay is waiting for the officialdom, and it has been more than forty years since this year. I saw the rise and fall of Zhai Jian, Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, and Gao Gong. Although I have never been a university scholar in my life, I have also summed up the doorway to be the first assistant. He looked at Shen Mo and said, "I don't know if Lord Shoufu, do you have time to listen to the old man's chatter?" ”

"Listen up." Silently smiled, the leader said, "Hua Hao, I'll make a long story short." Ge Shouli said: "The old man found that if you want to put this,

When the first assistant is stable, the key is three points. The first point is that now the emperor is too much, there is no need. The second point is that we must win people's hearts. Zhong Jiān are all commented on by later generations, and for our hundred officials, they are all our main seats, regardless of whether they are Yan Song or Gao Gong, they are all the same. ”

"......" nodded silently, and he was deeply touched by this.

"Like Yan Fenyi, as soon as he came to power, he asked Emperor Jiajing to improve the color of the officials in the two capitals, and the more the officials gained the quality of Dai, the more the officials in the two capitals were grateful to him. Like Xu Huating, as soon as he took office, he was unjustly imprisoned, and the officials who were punished by Emperor Jiajing for their loyalty, the deceased Zhaoxue was sealed, and the living were added to the official and knighted. For this alone, Shilin Qingyi completely fell to his side. Even Gao Gong, although he seems to be rough, he is still kind to the vast majority of officials, and he never spares his name. For example, for an old minister like me who has been in the ministry for many years and can no longer be promoted, he asked the first emperor for additional gifts, and gave the old man a Ronglu doctor, a prince and a prince, and made it from a second product to a first product, and Yulu got the top level, a few hundred stones of grain and thousands of taels of silver a year. And in addition to myself, there is also a common practice of grace and shade, so that a son is exempted from the exam and goes directly into the officialdom, which is a great favor. ”

"I can't think of it, I'll follow this, right?" Here, he looked at Shen Mo and said.

Shaking his head, he smiled silently: "I always thought that you were always a Taoist gentleman who was silent."

"Of course, the old man will not put these words on his lips" Ge Shouli said lightly: "Just like those officials, what they say and what they think in their hearts are not the same thing. Only then did he clarify his true meaning: "It was only after sixty years that I had a deep understanding of this." I call people's verbally accepted ideals "yang" and "yin" when people don't give up their words. And the harmony of yin and yang is the task of the prime minister, specifically, it is to make "the unscrupulous still know the fear, and the sage has something to rely on". This seems to be a very low standard, but those who can do this are all virtuous people who have been passed down through the ages, and if you set your goals higher, it is not a matter of fact.

Silent and nonchalant, he understood the old man's words, he was clearly educating himself, this should not be the first assistant to show his attitude as soon as he took office, and urgently implement the new policy, which will make him lose his transcendent status and is destined to be vetoed by some officials, so how can he harmonize yin and yang? What's more, do you think that those who support the implementation of the New Deal are really for the country and the people, as they say? In fact, I am planning for myself. The officials of the premises thought about the convenience of taxation, and did not ruin their careers: the Beijing officials supported for the sake of the prime minister, the prime minister, purely for the sake of support.

How else, the mind can only be convected by people at the same level? If Uncle Ge could have the patience to be so kind to Han Ji, he would not be so speculative that the other party would make a run.

However, after listening to these words silently, there was something uncomfortable in my heart. On the one hand, he recognized that the other party's words were all loyal: but on the other hand, the other party's tone of old qualifications intentionally or unintentionally showed that he was still too nèn in the eyes of their old ministers. It is conceivable that even after the passage of the law, people should still be restrained.

Fortunately, I already had a countermeasure...... @
