Chapter 924: Commenting on the Ministers
The emperor and the two couldn't help but sweat coldly at this time, the border army that was originally regarded as the strongest combat power of the Ming Dynasty, at this time, through the Taoist's explanation, it seemed to have become a terrible scourge that threatened the Ming court, how could they not feel panic in their hearts?
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but stand up and bow to Gao Jingfei with a long bow:
"I'm in danger, dare to ask if there is a way to save the real person?"
was still a Taoist before, but now Zhu Youxiao has raised the Taoist in front of him to a very high position in his heart after saving his life and giving guidance and reminders, and he does not hesitate to bow down to the Son of Heaven to seek advice.
Gao Jingfei didn't look arrogant, but nodded and said:
"With my cultivation, it can be called a real person."
"As for how to control power and money, first of all, Your Majesty must have a group of people who are both loyal and useful, these courtiers do not have to be the so-called 'clean officials' with clean sleeves, and they are in a hurry to follow the power, as long as they are beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, those who are beneficial to the imperial power are loyal ministers, and the others are all subsections, but they can be ignored."
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this, in his opinion as the emperor, his subordinates were greedy for a little silver, and he was not unaware of Wei Zhongxian and his henchmen's private money-making behavior, those were all within his permission, the emperor hated the most was undoubtedly the kind of officials who were greedy for money and didn't do anything, especially these officials always contradicted the emperor, and even took pride in admonishing the court staff.
Wei Zhongxian asked what the emperor meant:
"Do you know which of the courtiers are available? Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi? ”
Gao Jingfei did not shy away from suspicion, and said bluntly:
"Xiong Manzi is indeed a good hand at governing the army and resisting the enemy, but he is not familiar with human feelings, or he understands it in his heart, but he is unwilling to go along with the officialdom, and if he uses it well, he can stabilize the battle situation, and there is no chance to turn defeat into victory!"
"And Sun Gaoyang is certainly highly respected, and Wen Taowu is also quite accomplished in terms of military strategy, but he is influenced too much by Confucianism, and has more than enough defense and insufficient offense, so he is most suitable for sitting in the rear of the imperial court to preside over the overall situation and give support to the generals in front! With its magnanimity, it should not change the order overnight, so that the generals in front are at a loss and lose their ground. ”
Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up when he heard it, obviously what this person said seemed to make real sense to him.
Then the emperor also became interested, and proposed the names of several ministers in succession.
Gao Jingfei also commented on these courtiers one by one.
What was given to Xiong Wencan was that "the two sleeves are not clear, and they can also be regarded as capable officials".
Xu Guangqi's comment is "Learn from the east and the west, and make achievements in people's livelihood and military affairs." ”
The comment to Hong Chengchou was "a capable official, but not loyal".
The comment to Yang He, Yang Sichang and his son is "talented and capable, but limited talent and narrow-mindedness".
The comment for the round dudu who has danced happily in the past two years is "the mouth can be vertical and horizontal, the tongue is bright and lotus, the means are not good, but the success is insufficient, and there are more than failures".
The comment to Hou Xun was "a master of power and strategy, and he is incompetent in governing the army and the people".
The comment to Mao Wenlong was "Liaodong Dingzu, a nail inserted into Houjin".
As for those nobles and the like, except for a few such as the British public, they have nothing good to say. When the court elders are mostly high-eyed, high-handed, low-level people.
Last year, Ye Xiang Gao Zhishi, Han Yi was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, but he did not have Ye Xianggao's wrist to envelop the eunuchs in the inner court, and adjust the contradictions between the cabinet and the six ministries and nine secretaries, according to history, he was deposed soon after because of his evil Wei Zhongxian. This person is not the real "clear stream", and the ending is a little bleak, but the ability to sort out yin and yang is equivalent to the first assistant of the cabinet of the modern prime minister is absolutely unqualified.
In addition to Han Yi, there are also Wei Zhongxian's henchmen Gao Jingfei who also gave evaluations one by one in combination with history, but there are a few who are also usable although they are attached to the powerful, and of course there are also those who have backbones, all of whom were secretly written down in a small book by the nine thousand years old on the side.
In addition, he also recommended two available candidates to the Emperor of the Apocalypse who were not considered famous ministers and high-ranking officials at this time, namely Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng.
The last comment to Wei Zhongxian was: "The mainstay, the royal eagle dog".
Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed when he heard this, this is not a dejorative statement in later generations, in ancient times, the royal eagle dog could be said to be extremely high praise for most people, only for some Qingliushi doctors it was a contemptuous name!
And under the influence of the clear stream that controls public opinion, the royal eagle dog has become a derogatory word at some point.
Whether it is Tianqi or Wei Zhongxian, they are less than a pot of clear urine. Therefore, they only think that some of Gao Jingfei's evaluations are very appropriate, if it is Emperor Chongzhen, who was deliberately brainwashed by the Donglin Party, Zhu Youzhen, who has not been fooled by the Donglin Party for a few years, estimates that he will be disgusted when he hears Gao Jingfei's words!
"This Qingliu holds the public opinion of the world's scholars, and in Qin's opinion, it can be called the 'Mouth Cannon Party', among which there is basically no one out of ten officials who can do practical things, but if you want to debate the scriptures and strategies, they are all strong mouths, and you are speechless when you can be a court spray."
Wei Zhongxian nodded his head on the side, he felt too deeply about this, he was sprayed with blood by these "mouth cannon parties" and didn't know how to refute it.
"And they also reject those officials who do practical things, and contemptuously call them 'turbid currents', believing that as long as they are honest and their ability is not a problem, then the world will naturally be clear. Just, is it possible? ”
Gao Jingfei said in an unkind tone, such a fallacy is very marketable in this era because of the prevalent relationship of science, and finally brought down the Ming Dynasty.
After Houjin entered the customs, these Qingliu scholars found that this set of hundreds of trials and tried-and-all spirits was not good in front of the Jinren, and people did not look at whether you were clear, upright or not, or whether you had knowledge or not, but only looked at whether you could do things and kneel and lick Dajin.
After a series of literary prison baptisms that lasted for more than a hundred years, it was only after this gang of clear streams that they were combed into obedience, but there were still some remnants lurking, and when the Later Jin Dynasty was gone, this gang of clear streams jumped up again and organized the so-called cannon party.
Relying on their appeal, they sacrificed many other people's lives, and finally overthrew the Houjin and established a new dynasty, but because they were invincible and had no swords and guns under their hands, the artillery party was finally usurped.
Although not all of the guns in the cannon party are clear-mouthed, there are also real people with lofty ideals, but in general, it is still the clear stream.
A relatively fair comment made Zhu Youxiao feel self-deprecating and a little comforted when he heard this.
"At least there is no one available from all over the world!"
According to this person, Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Wencan, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and others are all available people. The latter two are not important ministers, but he is somewhat impressed.
One is a Jinshi in the later years of Wanli, and the other is a Jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and according to Qin Daoren, they are all non-mainstream civil officials who can write and martial arts, and they are young and strong, which is suitable for innovation, and the future is unlimited.
"Then if you have someone who can use it, what will happen to the follow-up of the real person's method?"
Seeing that the emperor already had trust, Gao Jingfei said with a smile:
"As for the rest of the matter, let's start with the money, how can I train the army without money?"
Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but nod in unison again, their master and servant were too touched by the lack of money in the imperial court, otherwise Zhu Youxiao would not let Wei Zhongxian go to the old money, and many times he had allocated money from his own pocket to the treasury.
Saying that, Gao Jingfei looked at Wei Zhongxian:
"How to make money, I think that Duke Wei is an expert, Qin thinks that he may be able to start from the Jin merchants and salt merchants mentioned just now, so that he can not only clean up the silverfish of the country, but also recover a huge amount of money for His Majesty, which is a way to kill multiple birds with one stone!"
Wei Zhongxian nodded again and again when he heard this, he liked the house or something the most, especially seeing the scene of those civil officials who regarded him as an enemy being taken down and raided because of crimes, which would make him feel the happiness of a man he hadn't had for a long time.
