Chapter 114 Foundation - System Building
It's not that he has no problems doing it, but that the courtiers believe in themselves too much and deny the doubts in their hearts.
Zhu Yongxing listened to Zhang Huangyan's advice and felt that it made some sense. The creation of gods is sometimes not the will of the person concerned, but the spontaneous support and reverence of others. And it is also human nature to like and admonish, who doesn't like to wear a top hat? As the emperor who reigns over the world, he is naturally the best choice for others to flatter and invite favors. In particular, he has made great contributions to the country, is also considerate and benevolent to the people, and has few mistakes and omissions, and has won the admiration of officials and the people.
As for people, the reason why they make mistakes is not because they are not awake. It's just that there was a time at the beginning, but after a long time, it was easy to slack off, and I was carried away by praise. Zhu Yongxing didn't dare to guarantee that he would not do this, but with Zhang Huangyan's advice, which did not hurt face, but also had a wake-up effect, he was very pleased.
"Zhang Qing is right." Zhu Yongxing nodded in agreement and said: "As the saying goes: there are stubborn people in the family who are not defeated, and the country is not ruined. Even the common people know this reason, let alone officials who are full of poetry and books. After pondering for a while, Zhu Yongxing continued: "I have repeatedly rejected my subordinates' requests to play, and I am really worried that I will not restore the system of science and Taoism, and I will not learn from the Song Dynasty. ”
Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the officials who originally had the task of refuting the emperor as the core of the highest decision-maker were separated from the subordinate officials of the prime minister, and put more energy on the supervision of officials, including the prime minister.
One of the main reasons for the enlivening of low-grade Taiwan officials should be the system of "hearsay and trouble." "Xu Feng hears what he says, he doesn't ask where his words come from, and he doesn't blame them for being true. If another person tells the truth, he shall be guilty of false accusation and writing fraud. Although the official and the imperial history are untrue, they are not guilty, this is what Xu Feng said. That's a pretty precise explanation.
If not carefully analyzed. It may be thought that the Taiwan admonition and the rumors are a good supervision mechanism, but in fact they are disappointing. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, speech officials often became the vanguard of party struggles, and science and technology officials who held the power of admonition and impeachment often became the targets of party struggles, so as to achieve the goal of the party fighting against differences and attacking political enemies. This style of taking the enemy's right and wrong and the enemy's wrong as right will obviously make the decision-makers unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood. If the information is distorted and dysfunctional, the phenomenon of obscurity between the upper and lower levels will endanger the rule of the imperial court.
Zhu Yongxing hated the malpractices of the Ming Dynasty such as party struggle. Although it was a tradition to spread the political information, his scruples about party strife made it difficult for him to let go of the ban. Will there be party disputes? The answer is yes, it's just a matter of size.
If you are human, you have likes and dislikes. Officials are also human beings, and it is naturally difficult to avoid this kind of situation. or by region, or by spleen. Depending on the depth of knowledge or ideology, a small circle with a relatively close relationship will always be formed, and the small circle may gradually expand. Although it is still a bit too much to call it a party, with such a circle, there will be a biased emphasis in handling things, which is due to feelings or interests.
Chen Shaoyu is more aware of Zhu Yongxing's thoughts and thoughts. For the restoration of the tradition of the Ko Dao, as well as the permission to hear about the music. He was also quite cautious, and said, "Banzai's worries are not unreasonable. Kedao is the official of the eyes and ears, and his job is to be treacherous and evil. Those who commit great treachery and evil and have never been impeached by others, if they have seen and heard, they will be truthfully stated. It is not allowed to compare favoritism and blame. The things that people have been involved in, echoing the voice, clearly related to the party and bad habits, how can the court set up a speech official? ”
"Wechen thinks it's a bit too much to treat it as wrong!" Zhang Huangyan thought for a moment. said: "Long live those who are worried are to take revenge by rumors and rumors, and if it is set up that those who speak falsely and untruthfully, they will be punished, and it may be possible to avoid it." ”
"I want to establish a set of systems and laws, but it is not as simple as Zhang Qing said." Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly and said, "Well, the Prime Minister's Office is studying it, and it may be able to raise some eyebrows soon." ”
Whether it is a rumor, a report, whether it is a real-name system or an anonymous system, it is just a clue, at most it opens a door, whether the case can be filed for further investigation, it remains to be carefully reviewed by the profession, if it is said that the report can be based only on legends, then, the real case is thoroughly investigated to the end, this will not be determined only by a half-clawed, specious clues.
Rumors and rumors, report and accept the case, accept and verify, and handle the case in accordance with the law...... It will be a series of mutually reinforcing tasks that will not be done by one or two departments. Only by improving the institutions and systems can we not only ensure the legitimate rights and interests of officials, but also ensure that the supervision and anti-corruption work is strict, accurate, and effective.
"Long live the prudent governance, the sacred heart is lofty, and the micro-ministers are ashamed." Zhang Huangyan understood Zhu Yongxing's idea, not that he would not implement it, but that the conditions were not mature enough, and the system still needed to be improved, so he still needed to wait for a while.
"When it comes to rumors, I think of the party and fighting against differences." Zhu Yongxing smiled and said: "Some people don't want to form a party themselves, but others have already classified them as a certain party or faction. For example, Chen Qing, who has followed me for a long time, is estimated to belong to the Conglong Party; As for Zhang Qing, it is estimated that he also belongs to a certain party. Officials have their own minds in this distinction. Seeing that one's conditions are relatively close to a certain party, he will be close to him, and he may have a smooth career, or he may be promoted quickly. Hey, it's hard to avoid it. But with a public heart, it is a sentence to say, but it is extremely difficult to do it! ”
"Long live Mingjian, this public heart and selfishness are indeed difficult to distinguish." Chen Shaoyu smiled bitterly and said: "Only the strict punishment and strict law make them afraid and dare not use it selfishly, and that's it." ”
"Nor should education be discarded." As a disciple of Confucianism, Zhang Huangyan naturally would not give up Confucian theory.
Zhu Yongxing smiled and nodded, and did not debate with Zhang Huangyan, but he did not agree very much in his heart. The constraints of ideology and morality are too empty and difficult to be effective; And only the legal system can form a real deterrent.
That's right, it is necessary to use the legal system to restrain officials and deter corrupt officials. At the same time, the relevant legal system also binds the common people. Zhu Yongxing really only believes in these real things, and does not think that moral preaching can play any role.
Moreover, Zhu Yongxing does not agree with any extrajudicial circumstances, at least because he does not want to implement flexible measures in the law at this stage. This is because, before the supervision mechanism is perfected, extrajudicial circumstances are often exploited and will become a reason and excuse for arbitrarily adjudicating for personal gain.
