Chapter 53 Against Zhang Siwei
Zhang Juzheng said yes.
And Zhao Zhenji felt quite a bit after listening to Zhu Yijun's words of "don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people".
The Ming Dynasty is not a later generation, and there is no developed and convenient monitoring and communication technology.
Therefore, to manage a large empire with a population of hundreds of millions requires mutual trust between the king and all civil officials to accomplish one thing.
Because just as the emperor is a person who deals with hundreds of officials in the court; A magistrate, especially a magistrate at the state and county level, is also a person facing the officials and gentry below.
Therefore, if the rulers at the highest level do not trust them, it will be difficult for them to fight for the court against the treacherous officials and the powerful gentry.
It can be said that if the Ming Empire wants to get things done, it needs the cooperation of all civil officials and the cooperation of monarchs and ministers.
This is also the reason why people in this era choose to govern the country with morality.
The emperor needed to use people with a high moral level, and then have enough confidence in the moral standards of the people used, and then let the scholars and ministers also agree with each other because they agreed with each other's moral level.
Of course, this is only the ideal model.
Many times, the sense of moral trust between the king and the minister, the minister and the king, and even the minister and the minister is not so heavy.
In any case, Zhu Yijun's words at this time can be regarded as letting Zhao Zhenji know that the emperor trusts the moral level of these ministers and ministers.
This moved Zhao Zhenji and secretly admired that Zhang Juzheng taught the emperor very well, knew how to be virtuous in government, and knew that he had to believe in the moral standards of the auxiliary ministers and ministers in order to govern the country.
Zhao Zhenji, as a person loyal to the country, naturally wanted to repay the favor, and he didn't want to live up to the emperor's trust in him, so he said: "That is the case, Your Majesty, the minister still has to add." β
"Speak!"
Zhu Yijun said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Zhenji said: "Since Your Majesty believes in the ministers and ministers, the ministers have the courage to ask for the selection of one or two cabinet ministers to inspect the new policies of the world and check and fill in the gaps, so that the rulers can better live up to His Majesty's trust, and it is more conducive to the life of the community!" β
"After all, although Your Majesty is willing to believe that the ministers and others can govern impartially, in fact, the ministers and others are not sure that the local bureaucrats recommended by the ministers can act completely without manipulation and without merit."
"And those who are auxiliary ministers and rulers should not just have opinions, but should dare to take responsibility, and be able to clean up the aftermath of the government they have done, so that the people they use and recommend can fulfill their duties."
Zhu Yijun nodded.
Although he felt that Zhao Zhenji's proposal was very reasonable, he also knew that he had to listen to it and make it clear, so as to show the posture of Mingjun, so he looked at the others: "What do you think, sir?" β
"Back to Your Majesty, what Zhao Ge Lao said is indeed quite thoughtful. In this way, in the future, even if there is something, His Majesty can only hold the ministers and ministers accountable, and there is no need to make a big move to the officials of the court. β
"It's just that there is a governor of Haigong in Nanzhi, and there is no need to send any more officers, after all, Haigong's uprightness and uprightness, the first emperors are all recognized, and even the temple has to leave his life in the edict, and leave a loyal and upright minister for his descendants;"
"Therefore, the minister believes that only Beizhi may send another cabinet minister to inspect and visit, and avoid poor caress and dare not confront the people of Beizhi."
Zhang Juzheng replied.
At this time, Lu Tiaoyang and the others also got up: "The ministers seconded the proposal." β
Zhu Yijun nodded accordingly: "Then it will be played!" β
"Your Majesty! The minister recommended himself to go to Beijing to inspect the new policy. β
Zhang Siwei recommended himself at this time.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhenji immediately objected: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to let Zhang Ge Lao go out of Beijing to inspect the provinces of Beizhi, Zhang Ge Lao is a member of the north, and there are many relatives and protΓ©gΓ©s who are in Beizhi. Therefore, the ministers were worried that Zhang Ge would go out to Beijing to inspect, either to support the local wealthy people and restrain the officials from clearing the fields; Either for the sake of merit, in order to deliberately prove that the northern gentry are more loyal to the monarch and considerate of the imperial court, they strictly urge the officials to clear their zhang, and even ask the officials to increase the number of new fields in order to seek merit! β
Zhang Siwei glanced at Zhao Zhenji and said busily: "Your Majesty! The minister has no such intention! β
"Your Majesty!"
Without waiting for Zhang Siwei to continue, Zhao Zhenji directly interjected: "Although the minister's move is suspected of being a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. But in the humble opinion of the minister, it is more appropriate to inspect and visit Beizhi! β
"Because the minister is a Shu person, far away from Gyeonggi, and has no relatives and friends in Beizhi, he will naturally not shelter Xiangzi;"
"In addition, in this way, the minister will not trust Zhang Gelao, and Zhang Gelao will definitely use the contact between his relatives and friends to supervise whether the minister is not effective in the inspection, and even seek merit at the time of the visit, and also strictly urge the officials to report more acres!"
After Zhu Yijun heard what Zhao Zhenji said, he looked at Zhang Siwei: "What did Zhang Qing want to say just now?" β
"The minister has nothing to say! Or Zhao Ge is more thoughtful, it can be said that he is old and seeks the country! β
Zhang Siwei knew that the Son of Heaven was precocious, so he naturally would not talk nonsense in front of Zhu Yijun, so he could only seek truth from facts, and let Zhu Yijun believe that he was also open-minded and a frank and selfless person, so he directly admitted that Zhao Zhenji was reasonable, and praised Zhao Zhenji pertinently.
Of course, as mentioned earlier, civil servants should trust each other's moral standards, but this is only an ideal state.
In fact, it is difficult for civil servants to trust each other's moral level.
And there are many cases of scolding each other for traitors and thieves.
Zhao Zhenji made it clear that he didn't believe in Zhang Siwei's moral level.
Even after Zhu Yijun said that he believed in his ministers and ministers, Zhao Zhenji decided to put forward a proposal to let the ministers visit Beijing because he felt that he could not live up to His Majesty's trust, and that he should come up with a perfect plan for His Majesty to prevent immoral villains from doing so.
In Zhao Zhenji's view, the emperor can not suspect his own courtiers, but be a prosperous monarch, but his own courtiers naturally have to suspect and supervise for his majesty.
At this time, after Zhang Siwei said this, Zhu Yijun also asked others: "In addition to Mr. Yuanfu Zhang, who can't leave Beijing and needs to be assisted by Bi Zhen, can Zhu Qing also recommend himself or recommend others?" β
"The ministers have no objections, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to make a holy ruling."
Lu Tiaoyang and the others didn't dare to compete with Zhao Zhenji for this job anymore.
The main reason is that he is also afraid of being scolded by Zhao Zhenji.
Seeing this, Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "In this case, it is accurate to what Zhao Qing said, and it is planned to let Zhao Qing go out of Beijing to visit the prefectures of Beizhi, check and fill in the gaps, make decisions on small matters, and play big things!" β
"Obey the order!"
Zhao Zhenji immediately bowed and replied.
"Let's go!"
Zhu Yijun then got up and said.
"Wait for the resignation!"
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Zhao Zhenji walked out of the Qianqing Palace first, and his face was full of joy.
But after Zhang Siwei came out, he cast a cold look at Zhao Zhenji's back, and pursed his lips through gritted teeth.
Zhang Juzheng noticed Zhang Siwei's expression, so he came over to comfort him: "Meng Jing was indeed a little too much just now, but everyone is in the same hall and in the same cabinet, so it is fate to be able to go toe-for-tat." What do you say, Ziwei? β
"That's what Uncle said."
Zhang Siwei replied and said: "He was the first to enter the cabinet, and he was in the same cabinet as his uncle when he was the first emperor, and the servants never dared to treat him slowly, but he Zhao Mengjing was mean!" If it weren't for the unwillingness to bear the trust of your uncle, Fu Ning would resign and fulfill his filial piety and retreat to the place where Zhao Mengjing was resigned! β
"Ziwei is really a person of elegance, and he forbears each other for the country."
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.
Zhang Siwei bowed his head and left with Zhang Juzheng.
And Zhu Yijun was outside the hall at this time, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he didn't recover Zhao Mengjing in vain!" β
