Chapter 131: How the Palace Supervises the Country......
On the night before going to the East Palace, Liu Jian and the two ministers met with the Imperial Shi Dai Shan of the Zuodu, Fu Han, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zeng Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works.
At the time of the change of Zuo Shunmen, Dai Shan was not in Beijing that day, which was a good fortune and took a good fortune.
But afterwards, he will feel a kind of pressure from public opinion or the shame in his heart, pushing him to continue to carry the banner of opposition to the crown prince.
Liu Jian knew this, in fact, he also had a kind of pressure himself, because the cabinet almost did nothing in the Zuo Shunmen change.
If Xie Qian hadn't suffered a few boards for Wu Kuan in the end, I am afraid that the current situation would only be even worse.
So today's conversation, he had to do.
「…… His Majesty has issued a holy decree to the crown prince to supervise the country. On that day, I was in the Qianqing Palace with Bin Zhi and Yu Qiao." Liu Jian insisted on the beginning of the conversation, and began to speak, "From the tenth year of Hongzhi to the present, almost two years, I think you all know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is planning in advance, and the plan is strange. Even if it is this time to supervise the country, His Royal Highness has already asked His Majesty for the will, and the measures taken when he was in charge of the country cannot be changed at will in the future. What does this mean? His Highness knows that there are some initiatives that will not be supported by everyone."
Dai Shan, Fu Han, and Zeng Jian were all white-haired old men in their sixties, and their thoughts were more conservative, especially Zeng Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who watched Wu Kuan and Cheng Minzheng these 'gentlemen' be degraded or deposed by the crown prince.
Liu Jian is also very worried that they will have another change in Zuo Shunmen, even if the strength is not enough, sometimes it is not impossible for a single person and the prince to stand up to the cow.
Last time, his cabinet did not do enough to reconcile it.
There are lessons to be learned this time.
"Your Highness is different from the princes of previous dynasties, and now that he is suddenly in charge of the country, how do you know that there will be some surprises?"
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian stroked their beards, and Liu Gelao's consideration was still very reasonable.
Liu Jian is not worried about the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the department, but he is very worried about these three people.
"I don't know ...... Liu Ge," Dai Shan wanted to speak.
But Liu Jian raised his hand, "Let me finish first. Before the Zuo Shunmen Incident, do you remember that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince punished the two uncles, Shou Ningbo and Jian Changbo?"
The three old men nodded.
"Why?"
Fu Han was strange, "Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling violated the laws of the imperial court, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a person with strange intentions, he still attaches great importance to etiquette and compliance. What else is there to punish the two of them?"
Liu Jian asked rhetorically: "But Shou Ningbo and Jian Changbo violated the laws of the imperial court, not in one day or two, let alone in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, why was it just before the change of Zuo Shunmen?"
[To tell the truth, I've been using @
"On the contrary, if things are slow, it will be round, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a genius, but after all, he is not skilled in government affairs, he said that one thing should be completed in a year, that is also a plan, there is no difficulty in the process? Nothing has changed? If my colleagues in the court can give me Liu Jian a little time, do things a little more slowly, and in the process of doing it, I can still change some details according to the actual situation and His Highness's suggestions, and everything will still have a turning point, where will there be a change in Zuo Shunmen?!"
Liu Jian continued to finish saying this paragraph, and everyone only shallow realized the difficulties of this cabinet leader.
"Today I have come to three of them to talk about it. The East Palace is the lord of the British decision, resolute and resolute, and powerful. Such a lord must no longer suppress him! When the relationship becomes ossified, and the purpose of all parties is not for the government, but for winning or losing, then the change of Zuo Shunmen will happen again. Of course, I, Liu Jian, am not blindly flattering, if His Royal Highness has any measures that harm the country and the people, don't fight this official hat, I will also admonish you together!"
The head of the cabinet said this,
Zhu Houzhao didn't know.
He only knew that he was interviewed by the most important officials of the imperial court in the East Palace today, and his mood and atmosphere were not bad.
It's that Qiuyun, the little palace maid, is tired enough, originally she only needs to pour the prince's tea, but there are a few guests, and that's not much. But today, the six ministries and nine secretaries, plus the cabinet, suddenly more than a dozen important officials, but they are a little in a hurry.
The main reason is that different people have different tastes, for example, the prince only drinks tea, and the ranking adults are old, but not necessarily.
「…… In the morning, I went to the Qianqing Palace again, and the imperial doctor said that my father's illness was caused by hard work, not a day or two. If you get a little better, you don't work harder, and so on, and so on, and once you become a scab, it's not good."
Zhu Houzhao was also a little worried, the emperor was not in good health, the atmosphere in the palace was not cheerful, and he was naturally not very comfortable when he lived in the environment.
And his relationship with Emperor Hongzhi is different from that of ordinary emperors and princes, and he still hopes that Emperor Hongzhi will get better.
"My father ordered me to supervise the country, to be a minister and a son, and this palace is duty-bound. But this palace also knows that the Ming Dynasty has two capitals and thirteen provinces, and there are trillions of people, and this burden is not light, and I hope that the elder and the six departments and nine kings can encourage and assist, not to mention, at least we will not add sorrow to my father. Do you think this is true?" ….
Liu Jian raised his hand, "Your Highness's loyalty and filial piety can chase after the sages. The ministers will also work together to fulfill their responsibilities as courtiers!"
This is to put good words first,
But everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a person who only speaks good things.
Zhu Hou swept over everyone with his eyes, "Originally, I fought with Wu Kuan, Zhou Jing and others in front of the emperor, not once or twice, but three or five times. Now that the palace has taken on the responsibility of supervising the country, there are some things to say in front. If you feel that it is not right, you can speak up, speak freely today, set the direction, and don't waste any more time on these things in the future."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please!"
"Okay." Zhu Houzhao paused slightly, thinking about it, "From the point of view of pragmatism. There are six ministries in the imperial court, officials, households, rituals, soldiers, criminals, and workers, each with its own duties. For example, the household department, how much money and grain in the world, and the imperial court exempted the taxes of the disaster-stricken places, so how much less is the annual income than last year, is this to have a number? The number referred to by the main palace is not an approximate number, but an accurate number. In addition, God will not always enjoy food, if the Yellow River is going to be repaired, then can the household get the silver? Can or can't, it's all a result, and Tobe Shangshu must know it in his heart."
"Another example is the Ministry of Officials, there are many officials in the world, and not everyone in the Ministry of Officials will know about them, but the resumes of important places and important officials must be known, right? Jingcha is an important means of evaluating officials, and this palace knows that you are also doing it, but when you are done, it will be over? What is the follow-up performance of those officials who have won the excellent grades in Jingcha? The palace is not trying to trouble them, but the officials should also have a plan to train those officials with good administrative skills."
"The above matters, this palace is just an example, specific...... You are all going to sort out the affairs of the ministry yourself. The essence of this is that once this palace asks something, then it is necessary to find out who should take care of something, and this person in charge, he must be able to answer, what is the current situation, what problems exist, whether it can be solved, if not, it is okay, this palace said that it is not also a result, and then it is good to work together to analyze the cause and find a way."
"But you must not ask three questions and not know, Shangshu himself is not clear, and you have to ask the waiter, and the waiter will ask the specific person in charge. In that case, what kind of political affairs do you come to discuss with Hongu every day? It's better to let the Lord do it."
When everyone heard this, their backs began to sweat. The prince is really not good at the lake.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care about them, and if they were comfortable, the people of the world would be uncomfortable, "...... So, pragmatism is the first point. Second, it's Hongu's personal habits......
In fact, he wants to talk about execution, but there shouldn't be such a word in this year.
He said, "The second point is that everything has to have a result. The things you are responsible for in your hands, unless the palace is not there, as long as it enters the sight of the palace, the palace will definitely stare at you and give a result. For example...... Liu Ge Lao, "
"The minister is here."
"In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, the holy decree once clearly stated that soldiers should be selected in the Beijing camp and reorganized the army, how is this now?" ….
Liu Jian replied, "Your Highness, this matter has been started since the eleventh year of Hongzhi, and after selection and merger, the four guards of Zhenwuwei, Xuanwuwei, Xingwuwei, and Yingwuwei have been retrained, totaling 22,000."
"Liu Ge is worthy of the head of the cabinet, with detailed data and clear progress. But there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, but in the end, only 20,000 soldiers can be singled out? This...... And why?"
Several cabinet ministers and monks looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Hou looked at them with a strange expression.
"Your Highness...... This matter has something to do with Li Guang." Li Dongyang replied, and he wanted to say it tactfully, "Li Guang induced His Majesty to build a lot of money, and because of the lack of funds, he borrowed the soldiers of the Beijing camp. As soon as this case was opened, it is now in Beijing...... More than 10,000 people are building Wanchun Palace, 5,000 people are cultivating gods and optimistic, 8,000 people are building houses for Shou Ningbo and Jianchangbo, and more than 10,000 people are building Chongzhen Palace in Xingji......
Xingji is the hometown of Empress Zhang - Xingji County, Hejian Prefecture, North Zhili.
It's true that these ministers can't be blamed for this reason, it's a matter of the royal family itself, what can they do? Ordinary people didn't dare to mention it to the emperor.
"Okay, then that's the problem." Zhu Houzhao asked, "How do you think it will be solved?"
"Your Highness, this question doesn't seem to be that complicated...... All you need is a will from Your Highness......
Zhu Houzhao interrupted Du Yu Shi Taishan's words, "Of course this palace knows how to solve it. But this palace is asking you how to solve it."
How can it be solved? Call them all back. But this kind of thing involves his own relatives, so he can't start talking about what to do.
At least it has to be the common opinion of everyone in this room.
In this way, it can be taken out and said: the organization has decided......
Whoever will oppose it will oppose the whole room.
And this is not easy.
