Chapter 1089: Master and Apprentice Mantle
Aging is a thing that is difficult for everyone to resist, Zhao Zhenji's health has deteriorated since last year, and he has experienced the imprisonment of Wanli and the trial of the Li family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
And the government has not become easy because of victory, disasters, rebellions, wars, immigration, one thing after another is closely connected, Zhao Zhenji knows that he can no longer support it with his physical strength.
The old man's experience is a very valuable asset, but now is an unprecedented era, and the experience accumulated by Zhao Zhenji will not only not help him, but will also become a drag. Especially compared with a group of young officials such as Shen Shixing, he is old, not only physically old, but also old in knowledge, and he can't keep up with the times.
Instead of staying in the post as an eyesore, it is better to go home early and tease your grandson.
"Yuanfu, the old man has already made up his mind, you don't need to persuade him, it's just that the old man still has some worries, I don't know if Yuanfu can answer it?"
"Dazhou Gong, please speak, the late life knows everything and speaks endlessly."
"Well, the old man wants to know, will we win?" Zhao Zhenji looked very confused, these days, he continued to bear the torture of conscience, as long as he closed his eyes, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty kept flashing in front of his eyes, scolding loudly, saying that he was a chaotic minister and thief, and he committed a crime, a great rebellion...... The old man couldn't sleep all night, and the damage to his body was very great.
He asked Tang Yi, just to have peace of mind.
"Dazhou Gong, the destiny of heaven is slim and unknowable. A few years ago, after the telescope, people continued to spy on the mysteries of the sky, there is no Guanghan Palace above the moon, there is no Guishu Jade Rabbit, and there is no Chang'e Wu Gang, some are just a wilderness, potholes, and the same is true of the sun, just a fireball with black spots. In this way, the so-called Mandate of Heaven is nothing but a deception. In the final analysis, it is still in the hearts of the people, and all living beings are the masters of this country. β
Zhao Zhenji nodded, "Master Meng has long taught that the monarch is light, the society is secondary, and the people are the most important. β
"The continent is high, but not all emperors can devote themselves to the people and put all the people in their hearts, which is why we implement the law change. The provincial consultative bureaus have been formed, and the representatives elected by the people have entered Beijing one after another, and since then, every once in a while, representatives from all over the country have gathered in the capital, and all laws and regulations in the future can only take effect after they have been approved by them. Giving the power to make rules to the people, even if the emperor wanted to overthrow the constitution at will in the future, it would be impossible without the nod of the representatives of the provinces. β
Zhao Zhenji closed his eyes and thought about it, and a smile appeared on his face, "This method is good, in the past, it was empty talk and people-oriented, but now it has been implemented, but in this way, I am afraid that Yuanfu's power will also be restricted." β
"Hahaha, Tang is also a member of the world, and if he takes off this official uniform, he is no different from the people."
Zhao Zhenji became more and more happy, "Yuanfu really has the world in his heart, and he is humble and open-minded, and he can be expected to change the law!" The old man can also rest assured. β
β¦β¦
Zhao Zhenji left the cabinet, and Gao Gong was deposed before, although he turned the tables, but he didn't have the face to stay in the cabinet, Tang Yi kept him several times, but Gao Gong insisted on not complying.
There was no way, Tang Yi had no choice but to ask Gao Gong to transfer to the senior minister, responsible for convening the meeting of advisory representatives.
In addition, it was expedient for Grohe to enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, and after a few months of busy work, he was overwhelmed and resigned several times. plus Zhang Juzheng, who had died in prison before. At present, there are only four cabinet elders led by Tang Yi, Tang Yi, Tang Ruji, Zhang Shouzhi, and Yin Shidan.
It is imminent to replace the elders.
It's just that the original cabinet elder generation procedure requires the approval of the emperor, and he can even enter the cabinet in the middle of the decree, although Wanli has no capital to fight against the cabinet at the moment, and he doesn't dare to deny Tang Yi's intentions, but after all, it seems out of place.
Tang Yi felt that the cabinet elders should first select candidates with good qualifications and abilities by the ministry, and then the cabinet and the ministers of each ministry would vote, and after determining the candidates, they would be handed over to the advisory meeting for approval. The emperor only has the power to issue appointments, and to put it bluntly, it is a rubber stamp.
However, at present, there are still many local rebellions that have not been resolved, and there is a huge shortage of council representatives, and the cabinet can only be supported by the four of them for the time being.
However, the next batch of pavilion elders already has candidates, Tang Yi's friends Zhu Dashou and Tao Dalin, Cao Dazhang in the previous department, and Tang Yi's disciples Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue are all popular candidates.
Although these people were all born in Hanlin, they are different from ordinary ministers, they have all experienced sufficient experience, mixed in many yamen, have good ability, and have an excellent reputation.
It's just that if you want to stand out, you still need to go through the test.
The current disaster relief and rebellion is the best opportunity, Tang Yi after communicating with everyone, immediately appointed Zhu Dashou as the secretary of the military department, the governor of Shandong disaster relief and counterinsurgency matters, he and Shandong Governor Sun Yan are the same department, or the same township, just in perfect harmony, to deal with Shandong affairs.
Tao Dalin was assigned to the governor of Huguang, Cao Dazhang was in charge of Shanxi, Shen Shixing, who was the most familiar with the northwest, was sent to Henan, and Wang Xijue was assigned to Shaanxi.
"Master, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" Wang Xijue is a little bolder and upright, "The disciple has pacified the rebellion of King Yi, and he knows a lot about Henan, as for Ru Mo, he has been in Hanzhong for many years, and he should go to Shaanxi to make the best use of it." Teacher, don't you say? β
Tang Yi didn't squeak, but looked at Shen Shixing, "You see it that way too?" β
"Back to the master, the disciple obeys the teacher's orders in everything."
Wang Xijue snorted angrily, "You will play tricks, let me say bad things, you always play a good person!" β
"Brother Yuanyu, in my opinion, he may not be a good person, and the teacher is afraid that we will play the bad guy." Shen Shixing said thoughtfully. Tang Yi's eyes lit up, Shen Shixing's guy is indeed not simple, it seems that his successor has not been chosen wrong.
"Between our master and apprentice, we don't hide it, this time the disaster relief and counterinsurgency, the situation is a little different, we need to take care of the fire, and we must not be kind to women."
"What do you mean?" The two of them said in unison.
"There are more and more floods, droughts and locust plagues in the north, and we have determined the strategy of resettlement and disaster relief, but it is not so easy to emigrate, and the southeast has been in the southeast for almost ten years, and the number of people who go to Luzon is less than 800,000, and Dongfan Island is only 1 million. The key to this relief effort is to get people away! Do you understand? β
Both of them showed a hint of shock, and Wang Xijue opened his mouth even wider, and his tongue stretched out.
Think about it, a group of ragged and hungry victims who traveled thousands of miles, hurried, took boats, and had to settle down overseas.
How many people will be lost along the way, they don't know in their hearts.
According to conservative estimates, one percent of the dead is considered to be a few.
Anyone can say the truth, for example, let the people emigrate overseas, they have more and more fertile fields, they can eat enough, and they can make a lot of money - but after all, it is a pie, and it is far away, and the reality is to keep dying.
Moreover, in the past, there were disasters, and the imperial court directly distributed silver and food, but this time it had to come up with a lot of conditions, which inevitably made people wonder.
It's just that it's such a time again, and it's really not easy to deal with.
"Yuan Yu, Shaanxi needs to immigrate, but there are also horse farms and more livestock, in order to recover Hamiwei and enter the Western Regions to lay the foundation!"
"Ouch!"
Wang Xijue's eyes lit up, in the past few years, Shen Shixing worked in Hanzhong, and after he pacified King Yi, he was transferred to Xuanfu to manage logistics for Qi Jiguang.
Wang Xijue is arrogant, and exquisite, and gets along very well with those who are soldiers, and with Qi Jiguang and Qi Jimei entering the grassland several times, and fighting with the bandits, Wang Xijue also cut off several heads with his own hands.
As soon as he heard that he went to Shaanxi to prepare for the recovery of Hami in the future, he no longer complained, and looked at Shen Shixing vigilantly, for fear that he would rob his business, and secretly raised his fist, which means that if you dare to ask for it, I will beat you with a full face.
In the face of this naΓ―ve guy, Shen Shixing was speechless for a while, he was concentrating on Henan, and the biggest problem in Henan at the moment was the rebellion of King Zhou and others.
There are articles on disaster relief, and there are articles on counterinsurgency...... Shen Shixing's eyes suddenly lit up, "Master, if the disciple guesses well, the reason why you keep King Zhou and don't start for a long time is to see how far he can make trouble?" β
Tang Yi smiled with relief, "Ru Mo really has a delicate heart!" β
"For 2,000 years, the imperial power has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in normal times, we never know whether they sincerely support the new policy or are loyal to Zhu Ming. These people are like dangerous germs, lurking in the body, when the body is strong, there is nothing to do, once they are infected and weak, they will make waves. And usually they will misinterpret the laws and regulations, and read all the good scriptures crookedly. β
"So keeping King Zhou there is to attract people who still have illusions about the emperor to gather together, and then destroy them in one fell swoop!" Shen Shixing said Tang Yi's thoughts, and at the same time, he was frightened, it seemed that the teacher was smiling, like a sage everywhere, but it was really dark, he couldn't see his five fingers, and it was dark!
Wang Xijue is also cool, no wonder Shen Shixing went to Henan, this guy is scheming, yin and heavy, just suitable for doing this kind of insidious thing, as for a pure good boy like himself, let's go to the northwest, and strive to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and mark the history!
Wang Xijue was afraid that there would be any further changes, so he immediately pressed Shen Shixing to salute Tang Yi, which was regarded as a promise.
"Master, our brothers are about to go out on an errand, so I invite Brother Ru Mo to go to Donglaishun to eat mutton, replenish your body, and drink a meal of practice wine."
Wang Xijue pulled Shen Shixing and trotted out of Tang Yi's room.
At this time, the corner door next to it opened, and Xu Wei shook his fat body from inside and walked out, with a layer of delicate beads of sweat on his head.
"But you suffocated me, you are too insidious, even your own apprentices are calculating." Xu Wei pouted and said, "You sent Shen Shixing to Henan to ask him to surrender his name, am I right?" (To be continued.) )
