Chapter 264: The Kingdom Talks About Reform
"Let's be flat."
Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
Wang Guoguang and Zhang Jingxiu also stood up.
Zhu Yijun first instructed the three brothers Zhang Jingxiu: "You retreat first, I will arrange you by will." ”
The three brothers Zhang Jingxiu said yes.
And after Zhang Jingxiu and the others retreated, only Wang Guoguang stood in front of Zhu Yijun in prison clothes.
Seeing this, Zhu Yijun ordered Wang Guoguang to sit down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Wang Guoguang sat down, Zhu Yijun pointed to the corner of the imperial eucalyptus and said, "Do you see those chapters?" ”
Wang Guoguang nodded: "Back to Your Majesty, the sinners have seen it, there are a lot!" ”
"That's right, it's a lot, several times more than in the past, and it's all Kedao's words and deeds."
Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Guoguang looked at Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty wants to say that the biggest dilemma at the moment is because the restructuring is stagnant, and there is no one in the Manchu Dynasty who can suppress Kedao and make overall arrangements?" ”
】
Zhu Yijun did not speak immediately.
He only stood up, walked to the door of the temple, glanced at the snow particles that had begun to thin out outside, and then closed the door of the temple, walked back towards Wang Guoguang and said:
"The first minister intends to make me and the hundred officials disgusted with the system changed by Mr., and the other auxiliary ministers also intend to wait and see, so that the cold wind outside seems to blow out the fire in the palace in the next moment, and the feeling of cold winter is even stronger."
"But I want to add another fire."
"I don't want to let the fire of reform be extinguished, and I even want someone to use tongs to pass him, lest because there was too much firewood added before, it will not be breathable and not burn vigorously enough!"
Zhu Yijun said, and instructed the eunuch to move the fire to Wang Guoguang's side.
Wang Guoguang, whose face was flushed by the fire, looked at Zhu Yijun's back and said:
"What Your Majesty is saying is that there are indeed many new policies to be done at the moment."
"First of all, North Korea has only been stationed in troops for a few years, should you use North Korea's tariffs as collateral to build an official road from Uiju to Busan; and how to formulate specific policies during the period of Dongying's indoctrination, how to distribute land there, and how to distribute minerals; None of this has yet been decided. ”
"And the issue of the vassal subordinates of Nanyang who submitted to my Ming Dynasty to be annihilated by the invasion of Xiyi"
"In addition, the system of trade has not yet been established, whether it is a sailor or a civilian merchant ship, now they are maritime merchants and pirates, military merchants and pirates are not separated, and there is also the issue of dealing with foreign armed merchant ships, should they be allowed to trade everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, or should they be eliminated as bandits."
"It can even be said that since the opening of the sea by the first emperor, there has not been a clear definition of legal trade and illegal trade, and there is no clear conclusion on whether foreign Yi ships are regarded as merchants or as cowards."
"Furthermore, it has not yet been decided whether the examination system and the Quanxuan system of the center will be changed."
"When the Taishi is in power, you can rely on the Taishi to check and screen daily government affairs!"
"But now that the Taishi is deceased, His Majesty is in charge of the government, and the new auxiliary ministers are estimated to have the strength of the Taishi to take charge of the government for His Majesty; In this way, it is necessary to impose different requirements on internal and external test results. ”
"For example, the magistrates during the indoctrination period should be more relaxed, so as not to be more reluctant to go to sea to serve as officials; As for the officials in Beijing, it is necessary to be stricter, so as not to rely on their proximity to the Son of Heaven, so that they will really be pretending to be powerful. ”
"Especially for Kedao, we must form a more standardized evaluation system for its words and deeds, so as not to disrupt the government with words, instead of judging the government with words!"
"And!"
"Since now the Ming Dynasty wants the imperial power to go to the countryside internally, benefit the people and promote religion; Externally, it is necessary to sinicize the people, plough the court and hoe the court; In order to control trade, manipulate the circulation of silver coins, and activate the market, it is necessary to increase the number of bureaucrats in order to alleviate the heavy burden on individual bureaucrats due to strict examination results. ”
"If there are six parts, they need to be split!"
"When the ministry and the secretary are added, it is better to have a few more waiters and officials in a ministry."
"At the same time, we will increase the number of Jinshi people and schools to cultivate professionals."
"In addition, the restructuring of the clan is also imminent, and the distant branch clan should be allowed to enter the office, and even the close branch clan should also ban some restrictions."
"After all, the imperial court can't not let it annex land, but also prevent it from doing business for profit, let alone doing things for officials."
"At present, the new policy only restricts them from breaking the law and merging fields, but it does not solve their situation of sitting on empty mountains because of too many restrictions and constraints.
"Whether it is increasing the number of Jinshi people or reducing the restrictions on the clan, it is to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the meat eaters in the world with the new policy."
Wang Guoguang said after speaking: "But Taishi has been old for several months, and although the new policy has not been abolished, there has been no new policy. ”
"The central government of inaction is using the officials who are afraid of chaos in the world to exacerbate the dissatisfaction of the powerful bureaucrats of the world's clans and clans against the new policy."
"At this time, if there is a ruling who dares to take responsibility to stand up, not to abolish the new deal but to debug the part of the new deal that is too strict, and to take care of yin and yang, it will naturally make the new deal good to everyone and make Zhongxing promising."
"What you said, Fang Fengshi, Zhang Xueyan, Liang Menglong, Zeng Xingwu, Hai Rui, Wang Xijue, Wang Zongzai, they all mentioned it, and they are all waiting to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and spread Deze in the world."
"However, at the moment, there is still a ruling leader who can take charge of the center."
Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Guoguang said: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”
"However, the criminal minister is not the clear stream of the Hanlin Dynasty, it is difficult to be respected in the Shilin, and it is beneficial to be a cabinet minister, if it is the first in the world, it will arouse the rebellious heart of the Qingliu ministers, and now what is more needed is that a minister who can be accepted by both the Qingliu and the vulgar is to sweep the tail and clean up the aftermath, and the criminal minister is naturally inappropriate, not to mention, the current shortage of professionals in the world, the criminal minister wants to ask His Majesty to be gracious, and the quasi-minister can get a teaching position, and cultivate the talent of the governor and the trade money law for the country."
Zhu Yijun pondered for a while after hearing this, and then nodded: "It's okay!" In that case, you should go back to prison. ”
Wang Guoguang said yes.
Zhu Yijun asked again: "I heard that you wrote a lot of experiences in prison to make money and regulate money and food?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the criminal minister is indeed writing, so that it can come in handy when he really has the opportunity to teach people in the future."
Wang Guoguang replied.
Zhu Yijun nodded, and then didn't say anything, only went back to the warm pavilion.
Wang Guoguang retreated, but not long after he walked out of the palace gate, a eunuch ran out and handed him two stacks of books: "If the emperor orders the duke, let the duke refer to it." ”
Wang Guoguang took it, and saw that these two stacks of books were respectively "macroeconomics" and "microeconomics".
For a moment, Wang Guoguang couldn't help but be stunned in the snow for a moment.
"Bring the warm car! Send the prince back! ”
At this time, the eunuch said again, and said to Wang Guoguang: "The weather is cold, the emperor gave the prince to take a sedan chair back to the edict." ”
When Wang Guoguang heard this, he couldn't help but turn around and bow to the ground.
Here, Zhu Yijun moved the chapters related to the impeachment of reformist officials that he had ordered the celebrant to screen out by the fireside and looked at them carefully.
"Impeach Wang Zongzai, the left emperor of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Procuratorate, for framing Liu Tai, and willingly recognize the eunuch Feng Bao as his godfather, and rely on his own personal interests, attach himself to power, and murder Zhongliang, and the law should be the first to argue."
"The impeachment party befriended the border ministers Zhang Jiayin and Ma Gui at the right time, and made him the governor of Jiliao and the general soldier Xuanfu."
"Impeachment Yang Zhao once sent Feng Baoyin 60,000 taels and colluded with him in an attempt to be promoted."
"Impeachment of Zeng Xingwu befriending the eunuch Feng Bao for plotting against him."
……
Zhu Yijun read these recitals, and his complexion gradually became gloomy.
These people were all capable of implementing the new policy in the first ten years of Wanli.
For example, when Wang Zongzai was the governor of Jiangxi, he insisted on exposing the fact that the gentry and local bureaucrats took the opportunity of Qingzhang to impose all their fields on the common people, and even participated in the impeachment of several military preparation roads and sub-patrol roads that were in collusion with the gentry at that time.
And Fang was also impeached and befriended by the border ministers, risking his merits.
In history, Zeng Xingwu, who was praised as "a good general, good at governing the border", "diligent in his work, and many Jianbai", and because he recommended Liu Xian to lead 140,000 officers and soldiers to go on the expedition, Zeng Xingwu was also said to be a fellow party of Feng Bao, who had been deceased for many years.
Zhu Yijun had to admit that Xu Jie was right, if he really wanted to govern the country purely in accordance with the laws of the imperial system, there would really be no one available.
And these opposition bureaucrats, who were intent on abolishing the New Deal and preventing themselves from adhering to the line of Zhang Juzheng, were also taking advantage of this to frantically expose the criminal evidence of the reformist officials, and put themselves, the emperor, who had shown that they wanted to work hard, in a dilemma of whether to enforce the law impartially.
