Chapter 115: Don't dare to embezzle
Li Youzi went to the book the next day, and asked the imperial court to implement the official residence system, and used power to seek personal gain.
After the cabinet ministers saw this, because Zhang Juzheng also strongly advocated it, they also voted to approve it, and finally approved by the celebrant supervisor, which became an edict, and the edict stated that the original inner city Feng Baowai Mansion was expanded as the official residence of the Ming ruling minister.
Of course, Li Youzi's doing this naturally made many ministers and ministers dissatisfied with him, dissatisfied that he blindly catered to Zhang Juzheng, without considering the feelings of the entire civil and official group, and regarded Li Youzi as a villain even more.
But Li Youzi only cares about whether his power and status will be improved as a result.
As for whether the entire civil service group is having a good time, he doesn't think it is very important to him.
Moreover, in Li Youzi's view, since he has been defined as a villain by the civilian group, it is impossible for him to be respected and even elevated by the entire civilian group after Zhang Juzheng's downfall, except for hugging Juzheng's thighs and getting more benefits for himself while Zhang Juzheng was still in power.
Therefore, Li Youzi will not care about the opinions of other civil officials.
Zhang Juzheng put Li Youzi in charge of the implementation of the official residence system, which can be regarded as a signal to Li Youzi and other self-interested people who are still mixed in the Zhang party system.
Tell them that the cleanup of the portal is indeed over, and that there will be no further suppression.
And let them rest assured that he, Zhang Juzheng, would still use them.
It's just to let them understand that there are some things that should not be done too much, making money and making money, and not making money has no principles, even to the point that they have betrayed the entire Zhang Party and secretly want to reverse Zhang.
In that case, he Zhang Ju would be ruthless in cleaning up.
After all, the fate of You Qi, Li Cai, and Qin Yao is an example.
Li Youzi, as a person who can do the book of the Ministry of Industry, also understands this truth.
Therefore, he was very serious about the implementation of the official residence system that he was responsible for, and he did not dare to be sloppy.
And when he designed the entire official residence, he really imagined every minister as a snob like himself, and thought about how to prevent a villain like himself from running around in private or even trading power and money in private through the design of the official residence.
Li Youzi knew that once he built the official residence, he would definitely increase his official position.
Because he was the first ministry official to ask the emperor to take away Zhang Juzheng's affection when Zhang Juzheng was robbed, he had already been blacklisted by the entire civil government.
It is only a matter of time before someone is impeached and returns to his hometown.
Therefore, when Li Youzi designed the official residence, he didn't have to think about whether his design was too perfect, and whether it would also affect his personal interests.
In short, Li Youzi's current mentality is: After I leave, I don't care if he is flooding!
What's more, Li Youzi himself also understands that no matter how much the officials hate him in their hearts, it is difficult to deny the official residence system he has implemented.
After all, no one will admit that he is a villain, but is afraid of this official residence system, but should only regard the official residence system as the emperor's grace and good governance for the convenience of governance.
For Li Youzi, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to clear his name, and it can be regarded as leaving a political achievement before he becomes a leader.
In any case, those who will revise history in the future, as long as they mention the restoration of the official residence system in the Ming Dynasty, they cannot ignore him Li Youzi.
Just like mentioning Zhang Juzheng's love, he can't ignore him Li Youzi.
However, Li Youzi is still worried that in the future, some literati and doctors will deliberately ignore his contribution to the restoration of the official residence system.
Therefore, he decided that after Zhishi returned to his hometown in the future, he would mention this matter more in front of his friends, and he would mention it more in his genealogy and local chronicles and even personal notes, and even on the epitaph in the future, so as not to mention this matter in the official history of the people who will revise history in the future, and even future generations will only remember to support the seizure of love.
In addition, Li Youzi is also very grateful to Zhang Juzheng for this.
Because Zhang Juzheng gave him a chance to clear his reputation, and his previous dissatisfaction with Zhang Juzheng's methods of cleaning up the portal was too tough.
In his old private letters to his relatives and friends, he still praised Zhang Ju as the teacher he respected.
"Your Majesty, according to the minister's plan, all the official residences of the ruling ministers are built around the perimeter, and the garden is placed in the center, so that when the ministers are resting, they can see which ministers have left the official residence on the rockery in the park, or whose children or domestic slaves have brought in someone."
"In addition, the official residences of the first assistant and the privy envoy are at each end, and the steps are higher, at the end of the central axis of the imperial road; In this way, whoever visits the chief assistant and the privy councillor can see it from the ministers of the other official residences; ”
"And the first assistant and the privy envoy can also condescendingly see who the other ministers are secretly conspiring with."
Li Youzi got a chance to be summoned by the emperor because he was in charge of building the official residence on this day, and therefore played the layout of the official residence designed by himself in front of Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this.
He had to admit that Li Youzi was really speculating about the ministers with the greatest malice, otherwise he would not have designed such a layout of the official residence.
This made Zhu Yijun very satisfied, and asked Li Youzi at this time: "What if I want to quietly visit a minister?" ”
"Your Majesty, there is a special royal road in the official residence group, and there are high walls on both sides of the royal road that can overlook various official residences, and the royal road can lead directly to each official residence, so if Your Majesty goes to visit a minister secretly, he will not be detected."
Li Youzi replied.
Zhu Yijun nodded, and was even more satisfied with this: "That's very good." ”
Next, after Zhu Yijun asked other questions such as gate guards and anti-assassination, and even fire protection, he finally agreed with Li Youzi on the design of the consul residences of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
At this point, the design of the official residence was decided, and the construction was naturally put on the agenda.
Because he knew that the construction of the official residence would offend many civil officials, Li Youzi did not dare to embezzle the project funds when he was in charge of the construction of the official residence, so as to avoid being caught.
However, this also made the construction of the official residence very fast.
After all, the wages of the craftsmen and the people were not in arrears.
The procurement of materials is not boring, so that the merchants who provide materials do not dare to delay the materials ordered by the Ministry of Industry.
It's just that when Zhu Nanyong, who was in charge of inspecting the project in shifts, came to the place where the official residence was built to inspect the project that day, because he saw the drawings of the official residence, his heart was blazing on the spot, and he said directly to Li Youzi:
"Great Sikong! You are clearly imagining all the ministers and ministers as villains who will abuse power for personal gain! Even the first assistant and the privy envoy are imagined to be villains who will abuse power for personal gain! ”
"If not, how can we prevent it from happening?!"
"However, this hall believes that as long as you are a gentleman, you don't care about the layout of the official residence, and you don't care what others think.
"A true gentleman will only be grateful for the emperor's grace!"
Li Youzi questioned Zhu Nanyong, and finally added.
Zhu Nanyong couldn't refute it after hearing this, but he went to see a certain pavilion elder that night, and said eagerly:
"Elder Ge, you don't know, Xiaguan took advantage of today's turn for Xiaguan to inspect the project, and he has already seen the layout of the so-called official mansion with his own eyes, and the layout of the official residence is clearly like this, and he can't easily visit you privately in the future!"
"Did you find out that he Li Youzi had lost the project money?"
The elder asked directly.
Zhu Nanyong said: "No, this villain is very shrewd, and when the money is going, everyone understands it very well, and he can't find the slightest flaw!" ”
"Then we can only endure it, and when all new laws can be repealed in the future, this system will be abolished as well!"
The minister said in a deep voice.
Zhu Nanyong said yes, and sighed and said, "That's the only way." ”
Then, Zhu Nanyong said: "It's just that this time because Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng joined forces to make such a disturbance, we have suffered heavy losses, and if we want to reverse Zhang in the future, I don't know when we will have to wait?" ”
"Now we have to wait!"
"As long as he Zhang Jiangling continues to restructure, there will be a chance!"
