There are too many pipes, the yamen is too big, but all the work is unsatisfactory. But if you mess around like this, it will save you worry and effort.

But the emperor was not satisfied with this, and his plan was long-term, to gradually create a new Ming. Instead of sewing and mending, be a pasteur who maintains the status quo regardless of the future.

With the authority and self-confidence brought by Pingliao, the tone of the emperor's speech and the momentum he showed were indeed very different from the past, and the important ministers also saw it.

In a few years, not only important ministers, but even ordinary courtiers were able to figure out some of the emperor's temperament and ideological characteristics through the emperor's holy decrees, the newspapers issued, and personnel changes.

Now that the important ministers have been convened for formal discussion, it can be seen that the emperor's mind has been decided, and the policy may be slightly adjusted, but it cannot be changed at all.

Sun Chengzong was also well aware of his own temperament as a student, and over the past few years, he had become more and more inclined to be arbitrary. But if you don't accept it, the means may be brutal, but the actual effect is really blameless.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Chengzong felt that he had also fulfilled his duty as a courtier. Since the emperor has confidence in finances and the victory of Pingliao is in sight, he will not say more.

What's more, Li Qiyuan, the former secretary of the household department, resigned from illness, and the emperor used the household department to temporarily have no chief official to carry out reforms, which was indeed the least resistance and the easiest time.

Sun Chengzong also knew that his military secretary would also be dismissed from his post and enter the cabinet, and Yuan Keli, who was also a cabinet minister, could be described as a reward after Pingliao, and went one step further and became a cabinet elder and a minister.

This is already the highest position, which fully shows the trust of the emperor. Sun Chengzong didn't want to be too stubborn and embarrass the emperor.

The emperor's respect for himself is one thing, but if you rely on it and be proud, it will be the beginning of prosperity and decline.

"Tao Qing." Seeing that the courtiers had no objections, the emperor called the name of Tao Langxian, the secretary of the ministry, and said: "The household department is subdivided, and the officials want to be selected, and the matter will be handed over to the ministry." ”

"Long live the kick-starter." Tao Lang stepped forward first and said: "It coincides with the imperial examination next year, and Weichen thinks that he can choose talented officials from among them." ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, as if he had little hope for the new science and technology scholars, and said: "The imperial examination can select talents, and the officials and officials also have practical advantages, and the two should be both, Tao Qing should deal with it as appropriate." ”

Taurang bowed first and retreated.

It is no secret that the emperor had some opinions about the imperial examinations. There is some preference for officials who start from the grassroots level.

Moreover, for many scholars, the emperor also had an opinion. Of course, it is not wrong to use the economy as the criterion for selecting talents and appointing officials.

Several important ministers in the palace knew that this was the emperor's principle, and they should not be offended easily.

I have also advised before, but the scholars who have been severely punished are indeed unbearable; Some officials who were admitted by the imperial examination were indeed incompetent; Emperor Jianba's talent is indeed outstanding, making people have nothing to say.

The most important thing is that the emperor was measured, did not abolish the imperial examination, and still left a way for scholars.

"Liaodong pacification, although this is a major event, but the rebellion of Jiannu for more than ten years, the imperial court spent tens of millions, and millions of deaths are suffering, this lesson is not profound."

The emperor was solemn, and his voice echoed in the hall, "The external enemy is not terrible, but the internal trouble is terrible." I have clarified in the past few years what internal troubles are, but it is far from enough to thoroughly promote the good and eliminate the disadvantages. ”

"If you slack off because of the victory of Pingliao, think that the world is peaceful, continue to stick to the old ways, do not want to forge ahead, and learn from it not far away, you will repeat the mistakes of the past for more than ten years or decades."

"Today's reform is not only for us, but also for our descendants, for the Ming Dynasty to stand proudly in the world and prosper forever. The change of dynasties, the cycle of cycles, and the thousand-year-old history have enough warnings, isn't it enough for us to learn a lesson? ”

"Prosperity is also vigorous, and death is also sudden. Taizu founded the country, Chengzu pioneered, the change of Tumubao almost lost the country, and the northern Mongolia often entered the Kou, and the Jiannu rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and slaughtered the charcoal creatures. With such a Ming Dynasty, how dare to call the world peaceful, how dare to call it a great power? ”

"Hongzhi Zhongxing and Longqing New Deal are just decades of improvement, and the disease has not been eradicated, and it is difficult to heal in the end. Since the fourteenth year of Wanli, the party in the court has been constantly fighting, corruption is prevalent, civil officials are greedy for money, and military generals are afraid of death......"

The emperor's face sank, and it could be seen that he was really angry.

This is the case, there is no doubt about it. The ministers bowed down to listen to the training, and their hearts were awe-inspiring.

Don't shy away from it, don't hide it, it's just telling the truth, it's moving.

Although a lot of things happen after they happen, they realize what the problem is. But it's definitely a wake-up call, don't think it's okay to have a small drawback. Don't think that the Ming Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles, and the people are hundreds of millions of trillions, and they can withstand the toss.

"It's easy to do it, it's time to change the law! The ancient sages already had this wisdom, how can we cling to the defects and stick to the old ways. What ancestral system and what law is made must change with the times. Only by guarding the Ming Dynasty can the ancestors be satisfied......"

The emperor finally stopped, although his mouth was a little dry, he didn't take the cup, glanced at the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "All the ministers are the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the one who is the humerus." I hope that the monarchs and ministers will work together to build a strong and prosperous Ming Empire, and future generations will always enjoy peace and happiness. ”

After speaking, the emperor made a gesture, and Wang Tiqian immediately shouted in a long voice with a sharp voice: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

Seeing that the young emperor relaxed his body slightly tiredly, the ministers bowed and bowed, and withdrew from the hall with mixed feelings.

Wang Tiqian bowed down and held the tea, and said: "The holy precepts of the emperor are deeply sobering, but if you have a conscience, you will remember the five inner and never dare to forget." ”

The emperor took a sip of the teacup and said lightly: "If your conscience is not right, it should be called conscience." If everyone in the world had a conscience, I wouldn't have to be so bitter and tired. ”

"Yes, yes, what the emperor corrected is that the slaves and maids are not good at learning." Wang Tiqian bowed down to be taught, and he was so modest that he was a mess.

The emperor glanced at Wang Tiqian and couldn't help but smile. Although the slave and maid are very respectful, they are obedient in everything, and they must bow to themselves in everything, but they are not what they want.

"Emperor, His Royal Highness King Xin and the grandson of King Tang are still waiting in the side hall." Wang Tiqian said: "If the emperor is tired, let them retire and be summoned to the palace another day." ”

Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to change the day, let them meet you!" ”

There was not much time, and Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, and Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, entered the palace and saluted him.

"Excuse me." Zhu Youxiao showed a smile on his face, and his tone was kind, "After going out for a year, I look a lot stronger, and my temperament is also different." ”

"Brother Huang's eyes are like torches." Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, said with a smile: "The younger brother only feels that he has grown taller, but he doesn't know whether he is strong or not. ”

Zhu Yujian bowed down and played: "Weichen feels that the amount of food is too large, and he doesn't feel that his feet hurt and his legs are sore when he walks a lot. ”

The emperor laughed, stretched out his hand to signal the palace people to move the embroidery pier, and said: "The summoning is not official, I want to hear what you have seen and heard outside." Staying in this palace is really boring and stuffy. ”
