Chapter 145: Implementation of the New Deal (4000)
Sima Jingling and Ah Pu didn't know what to say all night, and when they got up the next day, both of them were red and full of energy.
Sima Jingling did not participate in the first early morning of the Twelfth Prince Sima Zhan today, so she simply moved a bench and put it in the courtyard, lying down and listening to her eyeliner report to herself.
At this time, the palace was indeed able to send a lot of fresh fruits, so she took Ah Pu next to her, eating fruits, while listening to how the new emperor was performing.
Overall, the Twelve Princes still haven't made any big mistakes.
Although after a night of relaxation, the minds of many courtiers turned around, knowing that they were actually stunned by the schemes of Princess Sima Jingling of Jinning one after another, ring after ring, so that they did not have enough time to react, so they understated such an important matter.
But in fact, they still have a lot of room for questioning and discussing the measures on rewards and punishments for officials that Sima Zhan later proposed.
Especially when they found out that Princess Jinning did not go to court today, their inner confidence was more sufficient.
Therefore, after Sima Zhan proposed to agree on a new system of supervision of officials, that is, a system of rewards and punishments for officials, unlike yesterday's situation, many officials and ministers stood up today and put forward their opinions to Sima Zhan and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."
Sima Zhan saw it, recognized this person from the Ministry of Officials, and knew that this official supervision did have something to do with the Ministry of Officials, so he asked softly: "If Aiqing has anything to say, just say it." ”
So this servant who was subordinate to the Ministry of Officials said to Sima Zhan with a very frank and righteous look on his face:
"The minister wants to say that the starting point of His Majesty's proposal for rewards and punishments for officials is good, but it is difficult to implement and may not be realistic."
When Sima Zhan heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth dropped slightly for a moment. But he remembered Sima Jingling's teaching to him in his heart, and knew that the more he reached such a time, the less he could show the kind of expression on his face that could be seen at a glance.
So Sima Zhan tried his best to maintain the same appearance, as if he didn't have much opinion on the Imperial History, but he still asked very gently: "Imperial History, why do you see this?" ”
The servant Yushi "cough cough", cleared his throat, and then pretended to say:
"It seems that there is really no problem with this matter, but in the actual implementation process, there must be an absolute loophole, that is, how to ensure that the officials sent to supervise the hundred officials have no selfish motives."
The question raised by Shi Yushi is actually still very important, and the question he raised must be solved by Sima Zhan at present.
Take the cause of the whole thing, the west extension.
It is true that the place of Xiyan is a little far away from Beijing, and the deployment of manpower and the transmission of information are indeed not so convenient.
From the capital to the west of the extension, even if you ride a BMW that travels thousands of miles a day and will not go hungry, it will take a full seven days to detour through some unknown trails, and it will take a full seven days without eating or drinking, not to mention that the people sent will definitely have some stops in the middle, and finally they can arrive within ten days, which is already considered very fast.
But for some important things, ten days is enough time for these things to have some new changes, or things have happened to the point of no return.
Therefore, for the border area, or a place like the West Extension, which is very far away from Beijing, manpower is really a very troublesome and difficult thing to solve.
But fortunately, Sima Zhan was prepared.
When he was thinking about implementing a new official supervision system in the Southern Imperial Kingdom, he was already secretly thinking about how to solve this inconvenient manpower problem, and now, he has a mature idea,
"What Aiqing said is indeed a problem, but I have already thought of countermeasures in advance, and I just took this opportunity to discuss the results with you.
Since it is a supervision system, then the current system of 100 officials in our Dayu is not very applicable, so in the area of law, we must first introduce a special supervision system.
Supervision officials have a separate system, because they are independent of the hundred officials, and are subject to the same restrictions as the hundred officials, but they have different powers from other officials.
In order to facilitate the exercise of their supervisory functions by these officials, I decided to set up a prison between several counties in close proximity to each other, and a separate prison to the west, which is a vast area and far away from the surrounding counties.
In order to reflect each other, a branch may be set up to ensure that the number of personnel between each supervision liao does not exceed two days.
In this way, even if something goes wrong within the county, there will be no time to catch up. ”
When the ministers heard this, they all felt that Sima Zhan's idea was actually achievable. In particular, the two Shangshu of Zuo Min and Du Zhi thought carefully about whether there was anything that could not be supported by the people's power and the treasury in the construction of the supervision liao.
Zuo Minshangshu has no opinion on this matter.
A few days ago, although the Beiao country on the border was eyeing each other, it didn't really come in after all, so the loss of people's power was not much.
In addition, in recent years, the Southern Imperial Kingdom has actually experienced a long period of very peaceful time, and the development of the people is actually very rapid, and there is no problem with being used as coolies, and in the current Southern Imperial Kingdom, it is not a drudgery to do coolies, and there are still a large number of people who are willing to come to work as coolies in the imperial court.
The problem, in fact, is on the side of Duzhishangshu.
It is true that the Southern Imperial Kingdom has become richer and stronger in recent years, but the treasury is not as full as they thought.
The reason for this is that the state treasury has been too profligate over the years, which has made the treasury revenue somewhat unable to make ends meet.
They did not treat the people so harshly, and the taxes levied on the people were not very high, which did greatly reduce the burden on the people's lives, but the situation on the treasury side was not very good.
Moreover, there is also a very important source of income here, that is, the support of several major families in the Southern Imperial Kingdom.
In particular, the four major families, which have monopolized Jingzhong and even some other places, are an important source of income for the treasury of the Southern Imperial State.
These families want to participate in any kind of thing, whether it is the court or the countryside, in fact, they can be seen everywhere.
But now, the affairs of the four major families are suddenly a little difficult to do.
This is still because of Emperor Jing's sons, who had accidents one after another,
How could the people of these four major families be satisfied with their current power and status.
Therefore, most of them will bet on each prince, waiting for the prince they choose to ascend the throne as emperor, and then take his entire family to earn enough royal face, and they can take advantage of this advantage to continue to grow and develop.
Especially for big families like the four major families, their own families have long been entangled with the royal family, especially their daughters are more or less harem concubines, and the children they give birth to naturally become princes.
With such an innate advantage, who would not care about this low-hanging power, but give up helping their own prince to seize the throne, and An An was born only as a noble family?
Not all people can see the situation in the face of temptation.
Sima Ke, the third prince of the Ning family, who was behind him, had already been defeated, and the Ning family had suffered heavy losses because of this incident, and almost the entire family had been implicated.
The fact that the Ning family is one of the four major families seems to have become an imperceptible doubt in the torrent of history.
And the Wang family is also like this.
It's just that for them, the experience in their hearts may be far more than he can imagine.
First of all, he thought that he had won the final victory in the competition for the prince, and the prince he supported finally sat on the throne.
But I didn't expect the prince Sima Zhao to turn his face when he said it, and hurt the vitality of their Wang family fiercely, if it wasn't for Sima Jingling who came out in the middle to help their Wang family, then the destruction of their Wang family in Beijing would be a matter of an instant.
However, after this incident, the Wang family was also greatly injured, and it will never be prosperous again.
Therefore, the bulk of this filling of the treasury fell on the heads of the Gu family and the Xie family.
Although these two families seem to have a good relationship with Princess Jinning, before the day Emperor Jing died, they took the initiative to show favor to Princess Jinning and form an alliance with her.
But, what about those who are safe now?
To be honest, Sima Zhan actually didn't believe them very much.
Because he understands too well the greed in human nature to be unsatisfied.
Now it may be that he bowed his head to Princess Jinning and the imperial power due to the situation, but if he gains power in the future, it is not impossible to directly turn his face to Princess Jinning without fear.
Therefore, Sima Zhan will definitely not be like Princess Jinning, completely relieved of the Xie family and the Gu family.
It is precisely for this reason that the problem of insufficient fullness in the treasury raised by Du Zhishangshu is indeed the first problem in front of Sima Zhan.
Sima Zhan pondered for a long time, and when he saw that none of the ministers took the initiative to propose a solution, he couldn't help but feel a little dull in his heart.
Although he had already expected that the situation would not be smooth on his first day in the court, but when he really saw such a situation, Sima Zhan still inevitably had some anger and an inexplicable grievance in his heart.
He cheered himself up, and remembered the situation when Princess Jinning took him out of the court that day, and pressed this sudden weakness into the corner of his heart, and said with a very serious and majestic appearance:
"The treasury does seem to be a bit imminent, but it's not unsolvable." The government officials and historians on the side hurriedly wrote books.
"This second article is the title of the princess and prince. I don't have any opinion on that. What Princess Jinning says is what it is.
Princess An Ning was renamed Princess Jinning, and her position was respected as the elder, and the original treatment such as the fief of Yulu remained unchanged, and even I was willing to put Princess Jinning in an extremely honorable position. After all, a lot of my growth was taught by Princess Jinning herself. ”
When Sima Jingling heard this, she immediately raised a different opinion,
"Little Twelve, this palace made you the emperor, but I didn't want to burden myself. Some troubles in this palace mainly depend on yourself and the ministers. As for the main palace, of course, I want to be idle. ”
Princess Jinning called the new emperor the little twelve in person, although most of the people present were used to Princess Jinning's unrestrainedness, but a "little twelve" still shook their hearts.
But the Twelve Princes didn't care at all.
He listened to what Sima Jingling said, as if he just sighed quietly, and then said very reluctantly but helplessly: "Okay, okay, Princess Jinning is as usual, free at any time, this should be okay, right?" ”
Sima Jingling thought for a moment, and then nodded.
The Twelfth Prince continued: "Then according to what Princess Jinning said, Princess Ankang will be changed to Princess Jinkang, and Princess Anhe will be changed to Princess Jin'an. The king of Chu was established as the prince of Chu, and the king of Han was established as the prince of Han. All the fiefdoms that I was worried about were added to the ranks, and after a while, I went to announce this holy decree. ”
The waiter said "snort".
Next, it's time for the enthronement ceremony.
I only heard the twelve princes say: "Regarding the enthronement ceremony, I and Princess Jinning's opinions are a little different. Princess Jinning said that the enthronement ceremony would be held in three days, but I didn't think it was necessary. Anyway, the year name will be changed next month, so it is better to do the enthronement ceremony at the same time on that day. ”
When the courtiers heard this, they felt that it made sense. After all, three days to prepare for the enthronement ceremony is really too stressful. After all, what I had been preparing before was about Sima Zhao. Now that there is a different person, although it is the same person from the Sima family, it is not the same person after all, so it is better to reorganize.
The ancestral hall should give this order, and promised that it would be ready when the time came.
And Sima Jingling seems to be as she said, she doesn't want to take care of things anymore, and the twelve princes are in charge of themselves.
The above are the three things that Sima Jingling proposed at that time, and at this moment, the twelve princes have also finished talking and made specific instructions. However, the Twelve Princes themselves thought of a decree by themselves just now.
He said: "I originally had an idea in my heart, but I never had a clue, but today, after the incident of the former Sin Emperor, a specific plan was suddenly born in my mind.
The Sin Emperor said that all the people are cheap, and their lives and deaths have nothing to do with us, but I don't think so. They are the foundation of our great palace, they are an essential part of us, and we actually need to focus more on them.
For example, the famine in the West Extension area.
In fact, the climate and social environment of Xiyan itself is not very good, and I checked the history books and found that there are often disasters and famines in this place of Xiyan.
But even so, our courtiers still didn't pay attention to it and tried to find a way to solve it, but waited to rely on the relief of the court to spend a year and a year, what is the use of such courtiers?
Therefore, I am going to establish a new reward and punishment mechanism for officials, and we must first start with these officials and courtiers who do not do anything in the county and do not act. ”
