After Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Juzheng, he informed Zhang Juzheng that Liu Yang had committed suicide, and said: "Now it seems that Mr. can only clean up the portal, and as soon as Liu Yang commits suicide, the real behind-the-scenes people can't be investigated." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to regret it, the conspiracy will not see the light of day after all."

"If you really want to succeed, you still have to make a move, and as long as there is action, there will be a time when flaws will be exposed."

"Your Majesty only needs to govern the country uprightly, and the overall situation will not be harmed."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "What Mr. said is true." ”

Zhu Yijun then smiled again: "This time, it's just to cut off the villains in the implementation of the new policy, and the goal has actually been achieved." ”

"In addition, it is indeed time to reassure the panicked and save the overall situation of the New Deal."

"When Zhejiang Governor Li Xuan arrives and asks about the situation, these corrupt officials and the corrupt officials of the Wuxuan Division will all be punished properly, and then this will be settled."

"Obey the order!"

Zhang Juzheng gave up.

In fact, since Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng to clean up the portal by himself, he has already set the tone of just washing Zhang and not reversing it.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng was given death in advance.

You Qi will be killed in advance.

This is done in order not to let them tell more of Zhang Juzheng's secrets.

Because the Ming Dynasty did not have a real prime minister system, unlike the previous dynasties, a ruler like Zhang Juzheng wanted to have the same power as the prime minister, and when he fought for these powers at the beginning, he was destined to do many shady things.

What's more, Zhang Juzheng himself is indeed not very demanding in terms of seeking a career.

Of course, just as he is not with the light, he may not have so many supporters, but will only be respected and distanced from Hai Jui at first.

Therefore, even if Liu Yang also comes up with empirical evidence of Zhang Juzheng's guilt, he will be refused by Zhu Yijun, the emperor.

"But I thought about it, this incident also shows that the villain is indeed good and hypocritical, and the traitorous and loyal do exist, so that the plan for restructuring is almost ruined."

"It's fine if it's an ordinary petty official, but if it really goes to the minister, especially if it appears in the cabinet, it can easily cause a lot of damage."

"It can be seen from Yin Zhengmao's previous time, although Yin Zhengmao did not intend to sabotage the new deal."

"And this time, it's just Langguan Hanlin colluding together, which almost ruined the overall situation, and it is also very telling about the situation."

"So, we have to have a system to prevent this."

Zhu Yijun said at this time.

Zhang Juzheng was shocked when he heard this, and asked: "Your Majesty wants to strengthen the control of the ministers?" ”

"I want to set up another West Factory."

Zhu Yijun said.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Juzheng was shocked and hurriedly said: "Today's factory guard, the amount of silver has been a lot, and if you set up a west factory, I am afraid that the national strength will be difficult to support!" ”

"What's more, how can Your Majesty be sure that Xichang will be able to control the minister, and will not be used and infiltrated by the powerful right, called Your Majesty's eyes and ears, but will separate Your Majesty and the minister?"

"What's more important is that the salary is too heavy, and now the imperial court has only one million taels of silver, and it is still difficult to support the current factory guards and the world's soldiers and horses, not to mention adding a west factory."

"And there should be more trust between the monarch and the minister than the embankment, otherwise, it will not be conducive to the rule."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun actually knew that the addition of the West Factory was a strengthening of spy politics and an increase in financial expenditure, but in fact, the effect was not very good.

But when he said this, he actually intended to pave the way for the real intention of the future.

"What the gentleman said is that there is still to be trust between the monarch and the minister."

"Since the West Factory can't be built, let's build an official residence."

"Build an official residence for the ministers above Shangshu!"

"When he took office, he moved into the official residence with his family papers, and when he left office, he moved out."

"And the official residences should be built together, which is equivalent to letting the important ministers live together, which is not only convenient for the ministers to supervise each other, but also convenient for discussing important matters, and it is more convenient for the imperial court to send brocade guards to protect them, review the people entering and leaving, and prevent spies from getting in."

"Specifically, it is not only conducive to the ministers to motivate each other with their honest and honest style, but also to prevent a villain from infiltrating a minister's mansion to lure him with money, and his colleagues can help remind him."

"The factory guards are staring, there is a sense of distrust of the important ministers and ministers, but it is still okay for gentlemen to urge each other, after all, the sage also said: See the sages and think together!"

"In this way, even if one of the ministers visits a certain minister, the rest of the ministers will be able to see it in their own residence."

"And if there are any more children or domestic slaves who are lawless, even if they don't investigate, they will also have colleagues who live together to help the inspector."

"In addition, I also allowed them to set up a council chamber and a counsellor's room in the official residence, and to summon subordinates to discuss matters, and even added officials to the counsellor's office to handle confidential matters for them and be responsible for conveying their ruling intentions."

"In this way, in case of rain, snow or scorching heat, or even if you are sick and need to recuperate at home, you can ask for leave and deal with the government at home, so as to avoid the impact on your body due to participating in the court.

"This is also my grace to my ministers! It is not easy to live in Chang'an, saving them from being honest and supporting the clansmen, and they can't afford to buy a big house in the capital, so they can only live in the outer city, and the court is also troublesome, and it is easy to have accidents. ”

The official residence is not a product of later generations, and the official residence system began to exist in the Song Dynasty.

It's just because it's inconvenient to live in the official residence for personal gain, after all, no one wants to do anything by themselves, they can be seen by other important ministers, and give the imperial court the opportunity to supervise in the name of protection, so the historical ministers like Cai Jing and Qin Hui basically don't live in the official residence, but still live in a private house.

Zhu Yijun proposed to build an official residence for the ruling ministers at this time, and Zhang Juzheng was no stranger to this.

Zhang Juzheng actually didn't want to engage in the official residence system in his heart.

He knows very well that the civil officials who have always liked infighting can also be said to be involuted, for the sake of those top-level official positions, when staring at competitors at the same level, he is afraid that he will work harder than Jinyiwei.

But he thought that compared with setting up a west factory, building an official residence is indeed more economical, and it is indeed more conducive to the long-term and clear governance of officials, and it can also improve the efficiency of governance.

Of course, the most important thing is to save money.

Zhang Juzheng's main idea to solve the problem of the financial deficit of the Wanli Dynasty is to reduce expenditure and open source, as long as he can save money and achieve the same effect, he will naturally choose a more cost-effective way.

So, Zhang Juzheng also replied at this time: "The construction of the official residence does not need to use gold silk nanmu and other royal things, and the bad etiquette system, it is estimated that it will be a million taels of silver, but more importantly, it can be used for several dynasties, in addition, it only needs a hundred or so guards to find out the people who enter and exit, and can prevent someone from privately conspiring with the minister. ”

"Then the gentleman will play it and ask for it."

"Please also ask Mr. to draw up a set of my Ming official residence system as soon as possible."

Zhu Yijun saw that his goal had been achieved, so he said with a smile.

"Obey the order!"

Zhang Juzheng then talked with Zhu Yijun about the process of clearing the acres of Zhang's fields, and then left Zhu Yijun and went back to his private house directly.

Soon after Zhang Juzheng returned to his private residence, he asked Li Youzi, who was his student and was still a scholar of the Ming Ministry of Industry, to pass him on, and told him about the official residence.

Li Youzi's face was quite shocked after hearing this: "Master, how can this official residence be built, this will make the ministers unhappy!" ”

"The servant can't refuse His Majesty twice in a row!"

Zhang Juzheng said.

Li Youzi was even more stunned after hearing this: "What does the teacher mean?" ”

"Your Majesty intends to further strengthen the supervision of hundreds of officials because of Li Cai, Qin Yao and other things, so from the historical materials, I found some systems that have not been implemented now, and I want to implement them."

Zhang Juzheng said again: "You don't have to ask what you mentioned specifically, the servant just came to ask you, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, can you do a good job in building the official residence?" Do you want to be an official from the first product in the future?! ”

Li Youzi's reputation in Shilin was not very good, and he was often scolded as a villain, because he was used to seeing the wind and steering the rudder and flattering the powerful.

However, Zhang Juzheng felt that people like Li Youzi were actually more suitable for designing and supervising the construction of official residences.

Because only the little ones know better about the evil side of human nature.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng wanted Li Youzi to do this, and even did not hesitate to lure him by adding an official to the knighthood.

Li Youzi didn't think about it after hearing this, so he got up and said to Zhang Juzheng: "In this case, the student is willing to share the worries of the teacher!" ”

"Aren't you afraid of being scolded by the ministers behind your back?"

Zhang Juzheng smiled and asked more.

"Laugh and scold and let them be, I will do the good official. As long as you can share the worries of the monarch and the teacher, and it is conducive to clarifying the rule of officials, what else is it. ”

After Li Youzi returned, he said: "Please also rest assured, the student will definitely create an official residence that His Majesty and the teacher are most satisfied with!" ”
