The emperors who are high above are not at ease, they usually have a sense of crisis in their subconscious, for fear that the courtiers will be disloyal, for fear that the ministers will usurp power, and they must guard against every bit of spark and extinguish it at any time, so as not to lose control and form a prairie fire.

Because of this, the secret services of all dynasties and dynasties were created under this situation. The most famous is naturally the "factory guard" of the Ming Dynasty, whose cruelty and terror of the subjects make people talk about the tiger color. Therefore, the experience of history is worth noting, and the open appointment of spies is unpopular, and the goal is too big and the success is insufficient. More than defeated. But the emperor can't be unaware of the situation, and he can't be without eyes and ears.

"The king of the people is deep in the ninefold, isolated from the outside world, and the political affairs are entrusted to the ministers. But I am afraid that I will trust people who are not human, and I will do evil and mislead the common people. Sitting on his lap is Jia'er, next to Rou'er, Zhu Yongxing is holding the secret fold to explain to his daughters, "This secret fold system is one of the eyes and ears of the father, to know the affairs of the house, to understand the situation." ”

"Father, there is no big deal here, right?" Rou'er crossed her little feet a little boredly and said, "Doesn't this delay your rest?" ”

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, from a small to a big, and only by analyzing can we draw conclusions." Zhu Yongxing pointed to the text on the fold and explained in detail: "It says that the poor Chen Huaijin found twenty-four taels of silver from Wang Shengyin, a guest from Jiangnan, and returned all of them to thank him. What is this, the small people are righteous, the customs are beautiful, and the country is really auspicious. If it is a personal edict from the father or Zhu Criticism, it will play a great role in enlightening, encouraging, and educating the ministers and the people. He said. Zhu Yongxing picked up the Zhu pen and criticized: The fine people and the beautiful line are stacked in Yunnan Province, and the so-called Rui is also. I am very happy. Another decree is to reward rice and cloth, and give a plaque to Shi Liangshu.

No one can say what kind of official position qualifies for secret playing. It is not so much a matter of rank as it is a relationship with the emperor. Those who have the right to perform secrets are not necessarily high-ranking officials, but high-ranking officials and dignitaries. There are also officials of micro and mustard seeds, dotted all over the country. It's hard to tell who has that power. If anyone shows off or reveals that he has the right to fold, the right to fold will soon be deprived by Zhu Yongxing.

In this way, it is the emperor's trust to have a secret recital, and he can be praised and encouraged by Zhu Pizhong. It is an honor and honor.

"What's wrong with Qing's foot disease, he still drinks alcohol, if he can quit drinking, he should take care of himself." Zhu Yongxing wrote words of encouragement on a secret fold, and then touched the little heads of his two daughters with a smile.

A message of care, encouragement and praise, in the feudal era, expressed by the emperor to his ministers, can the ministers be loyal to the emperor, and spur themselves to be dedicated and work hard?

Speaking of which. This is also a relatively strict system of letters and visits. Zhu Yongxing took the trouble to explain to his daughter, "It's similar to the system of accepting reports just implemented by the Ministry of Supervision, the purpose is to open up a wide range of opinions." Strengthen supervision, even if it is a party leader, it is impossible to abuse power, let alone block the reports and accusations below. ”

"Wu Zetian seems to have something similar-" Rou'er tilted her little head and thought about it, clapped her little hands, and said with a smile: "That's right." It's called Mikuang. But my father is more powerful than her, isn't he? ”

"What do you ask me? Stinky girl. Zhu Yongxing smiled happily. He hugged his daughter in his arms.

Jia'er was still young, she didn't understand much, and after being patient for a long time, she finally couldn't help yawning, and squinted at "Doraemon" on the table next to her with some boredom.

"Alright, it's time to go to sleep." Zhu Yongxing smiled and touched this, pinched that, they were all his own "little padded jackets"!

The car had crossed the Yellow River and entered Shandong, where the situation looked better. After all, it was the Ming army that recovered first, and the Tartars had time to loot and destroy in the future. In this regard, Zhu Yongxing was a little pleased.

But there is another thing that makes Zhu Yongxing not very happy, that is, the ministers built yì to go to Qufu to worship the Confucian Temple. Although Zhu Yongxing believed that Confucianism had merit, and worshipping Confucius Temple was also a political move to accept the hearts of the scribes, he never agreed happily. The reason is very simple, he can respect Confucius, a great educator, but he despises the descendants of Confucius.

Whether it is Huaxia or Yidi, the descendants of Confucius are welcome as usual, the name of a Yan Shenggong from the Song Dynasty, through the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, can always be maintained, with this "ran" attitude of cooperation with the ruler, but also willing to sing praises for the rulers of various dynasties, become a propaganda tool for the rulers to win the hearts of the people.

The teachings of Confucius have gone through various dynasties and generations, and have been distorted or tampered with to the point that they are detached from their original simple nature; The same is true of the descendants of the Kong family, who have lost the most important thing - the backbone. Without the righteousness of the country and the nation, without the spirit of killing oneself and sacrificing one's life for righteousness, he stayed in that one-third of an acre of land and enjoyed the preferential treatment he received for providing the feudal emperor with deferential thoughts. Such a Confucian temple, such a descendant of the Confucian family, is it worth Zhu Yongxing to worship?

Qin Song is a sinner through the ages, but his great-grandson Qin Ju is a famous anti-gold general, and the whole family of seven died in Qizhou; Yue Fei is a famous anti-Jin general, but his son Yue Shenglong and his son Yue Zhongqi are the Qing army generals in the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods, traitors and slaves in the strict sense. Yue Zhongqi was even more despicable and shameless, betraying Zeng Jing, who persuaded him to learn from his ancestor Yue Fei to raise troops to avenge Ming, and led to the Lu Liuliang case.

Zhu Yongxing does not believe in the theory of blood, let alone judge good and evil by the ancestors of so-and-so. Therefore, he did not go to Qufu, at least not to worship Confucius in the Confucian Mansion. Moreover, when the time comes, he wants to deprive Yan Sheng Gong of this special duke, so that he can no longer benefit from the glory of his ancestor Confucius.

To tell the truth, the theories created by Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Han Feizi, Zhuangzi, etc., are all valuable intellectual wealth. Although each has its own flaws, if we do not hide it, conduct in-depth research and analysis, and take the essence and eliminate the dross, we can become the spiritual pillar of the Chinese nation standing on the top of the world. Moreover, with the development of the times and the transformation of society, there is no theory that will remain unchanged for eternity, and it must always progress and change to adapt to the times and society.

Zhu Yongxing hopes for a theoretical environment in which a hundred schools of thought contend, rather than contending people's minds within the theoretical scope required by a certain ruler. In order to promote the development of productive forces and keep up with the tide of the times, it is necessary to emancipate the mind.

The candlelight was bright, the night was dark, and Zhu Yongxing was still dealing with government affairs. Rou'er is also right, this is his own tiredness. Originally, it was the rhythm of gradually delegating power to various ministries, but this secret music system added a lot of work to Zhu Yongxing. However, in essence, Zhu Yongxing's move is to observe the people's feelings and to make officials supervise each other, but it is not a centralization of power.

No matter how well the system is designed and how perfect the law is, the rule of officials is still the basis and guarantee for whether or not the goal can be achieved. Officials are corrupt and derelict in their duties, and good policies can turn into harsh policies. The so-called rule of law ultimately depends on people to enforce it, and the human factor is even more crucial.

“…… It is very good to tell the subjects that the law is very good, and I am very relieved. If the official knows the way of the sage, the law will not indulge in corruption. The officials and the people are known to be law-abiding and loyal to the king, and loyal and selfless. Then the world will be ruled greatly. ”

After approving the last secret fold, Zhu Yongxing let out a sigh of relief, leaning back in the chair and kneading his forehead and temples. There was a jingle and the maids changed to hot tea again.

This secret fold and the reporting system are all related to the supervision of officials and the rule of officials, but Zhu Yongxing still feels that it is not enough. He also knew a lot about the means and measures of later generations, and the declaration of assets had been officially implemented, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption was in the process of deliberating and raising them.

As for the Ministry of Supervision, Zhu Yongxing believes that its role is relatively broad, not only in terms of integrity, but also in the evaluation and supervision of whether law enforcement is standardized, and the performance of officials. In Zhu Yongxing's vision, the Independent Commission Against Corruption should be an organization, that is, it should cut off the ties with various departments that may form constraints in terms of system and operation, so as to make it possible to "investigate to the end" in the fight against corruption. This kind of nature can be summarized in four aspects, namely, organization, personnel, finance, and case handling.

Of course, this is not the time. The current Ming Dynasty is not yet a society with separation of powers, rule of law, and democratic supervision, and the only way to solve the problem is to rely on Zhu Yongxing's determination to make the Independent Commission Against Corruption directly obey the emperor's orders and be outside other institutions.

Although the so-called Independent Commission Against Corruption has undergone changes like "national conditions", Zhu Yongxing believes that it is still quite necessary and can play a great role.

"Hooray, you want to rest in peace, do you want to drink less tea?" A soft voice awakened Zhu Yongxing's contemplation.

Under the light of the candlelight, the new female official He Shulan was inquiring about him with concern. He Shulan's appearance is not very good, her forehead seems to be slightly higher, a pair of crescent moon eyebrows are slightly frowned, and her eyes are not very big, but with such eyebrows, what kind of eyes will also be exciting. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and a pair of smiles lined the corners of her mouth on her upright and beautiful face.

"Well, change the bowl of oil tea." Zhu Yongxing nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Can the two princesses be safe in the county today?" Didn't cause any trouble, did you? ”

"Long live, the two princesses are very sensible, and Princess Jia'er also gave her beloved rag doll to a poor girl." He Shulan replied with a smile: "I also told the sù family, I have time to go to Beijing to play with her!" ”

Zhu Yongxing smiled slightly and said, "There are no playmates of the same age as Jia'er in the palace, and she may be very lonely." When I got to Beijing, I asked people to set up a school, so that the ministers, well, the common people, could also choose children of appropriate age to study. In that way, the children will be knowledgeable and not withdrawn. ”

"Hooray-" He Shulan hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course the ministers' families can, but the common people's families are afraid that it's not appropriate, right?" Besides, even if it's long live the grace, they don't dare to send it, right? ”

Zhu Yongxing thought about it and nodded, and said slowly: "It's because I think it's simple. If you open an office school and let Rou'er and Jia'er hide their identities to study, I'm afraid it's no problem, right? (To be continued)
