Suddenly, a spring rain arrived, making the sky even darker. After listening to Zhang Jingxiu's words, Zhu Yijun looked at the bead curtain outside the eaves, muttered for a moment, and then got up and sighed: "It's still the same sentence, the construction of the new ceremony is not an overnight thing, even the children of officials and eunuchs like you will be neglected for dignity, not to mention the people?" ”

"I can even say that I am not regarded by them as a human being, but just a symbol of power in rituals."

"Your Majesty said yes! However, it is not everywhere that the people are being bullied in the name of the Qing army, it is true that only a few places are disturbing the people in the name of the Qing army. ”

"Moreover, after the holy decree of strictly prohibiting the Qing army from colluding with the army, most local bureaucrats are also taking the initiative to inspect and stop it, and they dare not really ignore the order."

"Generally speaking, the bureaucrats in the world are uneven, and although the law has not been abolished at present, and the rule of officials has been grasped tightly, it can only be said that there are few particularly bad ones, and they really cannot be eradicated." Zhang Jingxiu replied.

"If it's everywhere, isn't the new deal implemented in vain?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile, and then lowered his face and said: "The reason for everything is that the new gift has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!" ”

"Of course, the root cause of the new rite not being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is that the way of grabbing the benefits of the world has not been fundamentally changed, and the way of benefiting the people of the world through internal and external development has not completely replaced the way of making profits by cultivating the land."

"The officials and the people are still staring at the land!"

"But I believe that with the change of the way of grabbing the benefits of the world, everything will change completely, and the drawbacks that arise when these old rites collapse and the new rites do not penetrate into the hearts of the people will be solved!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Most of the people are used to Gou An, and the same is true for officials, most of whom prefer to be safe and have nothing to do, and hate to pass the exam."

In this way, it makes the evil officials, ruffians and inferior gentry and local tyrants more and more unscrupulous, and even coerce the bureaucrats to chase fame and fortune. The new gift can solve this problem.

Zhang Jingxiu replied.

"But the new rituals aren't so easy to rebuild!"

"As you just said, people's desire is to be more willing to enjoy honor and live quietly, rather than to work hard and work hard to rebuild the new rites."

"Once a person is used to being free and loose, it will become very difficult to restrain himself!"

"Good as good."

"Therefore, if you want the people of the world to abide by the ritual law again, it is impossible to expect them to take the initiative to establish a new ritual law, they will only think about rebuilding the ritual law when they bring the country and the nation to the abyss of the destruction of the country and the world, but at that time, the price will be great, and I am afraid that I don't know how many living beings will be poisoned."

"I don't even have time to think about and build new rituals, I just have time to follow the old path."

"Therefore, it is still necessary to strengthen supervision!"

"First of all, the factory guard must not be broken, otherwise, the final supervision guarantee will be gone."

"Once Jinyiwei is Gou'an, then Kedao will follow Gou'an, and then the hundred officials will follow Gou'an, the officials will become rampant, and the gentry will change from good to evil!"

"In the end, I am afraid that a ruffian and a bully will be able to cut down a village and a town, so that the government decree and the king law will be regarded as nothing."

"Second, we must further open up the wisdom of the people when the national treasury and people's wealth continue to increase."

"Not only to open up the people's wisdom, including the people's wisdom of scholars, but now most of the four people in this dynasty do not have the consciousness that the world rises and falls because of their own responsibility, let alone the consciousness of respecting their inner conscience."

"Even if they are scholars, most of them are not the kind of people who take the world as their own responsibility in ancient times, but pay more attention to inner harmony and advocate peace of mind."

"Therefore, many scholars and doctors do not hesitate to wronged themselves and everything for the sake of the world, and they do not hesitate to ignore the fairness of the examination, and they do not hesitate to extinguish their conscience, and they have forgotten the etiquette requirements of treating gentlemen with courtesy."

"Even Jinyiwei is the same, he would rather abolish his own power, and try not to investigate the crimes of hundreds of officials, so as not to have more rights and wrongs;"

"If it goes on like this, can the Son of Heaven rather not use the imperial power, and try not to ask about the common people of the society, and not ask about the pros and cons of the world?"

"We have to get rid of this increasingly outdated habit of the Han people in the world who don't want to make trouble, and we must open up the wisdom and wisdom they should have, know how to fight for their own rights, and care about national affairs and world affairs."

"I don't know when did this kind of cowardly and reassuring weak thinking come about?"

"I look at the historical data, at the beginning of the establishment of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, the world was not like this, there were cloth clothes who dared to drive the Tartars back to the desert with only spears, and even the righteous army dared to go north to smash the nest of the captives, and even the context of the martial arts dared to take responsibility, and fought a bloody battle with the enemy when the Beijing division was in danger."

"But later, there are more and more lifeless people, but fortunately, they are not completely extinguished, such as Mr. and Haigang Peak."

"But in any case, it is necessary to revive this strong and majestic style, so that the Han people have a sense of resistance, a sense of the rise and fall of the country and the nation and their own responsibility, and this is first of all to ask all my Han people to read, all good to read;"

"However, this is what I will let the cabinet do, what you Jinyiwei have to do is to encourage the Han people to fight for their rights, encourage them to care about the country and the world, and even supervise the state bureaucrats.

"Therefore, what you Jinyi Guards have to do is to spread eyeliner widely, and at the same time let all Jinyi Guards set up anonymous reporting points everywhere, and special Jinyi guards will guard the point to prevent anyone from destroying it; Let the people have a channel to sue the officials through the brocade guard. ”

"To the outside world, it is said that it is ordered to inquire about the people's feelings." Zhu Yijun said. Zhang Jingxiu said yes. Then, Zhu Yijun said: "However, now, after you receive the appointment documents, you will immediately go to rectify the Jinyi Guard, and tell Liu Shouyou what you have seen, and tell him that it is my decree, and he needs to immediately arrest these criminal officials and bring them to Beijing, and they cannot be tolerated!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Jingxiu responded. After Zhang Jingxiu left, Zhu Yijun ordered local officials at all levels to also set up anonymous reporting points in crowded places to facilitate inquiries into the people's situation.

But Zhu Yijun is not satisfied with this. In order to prevent the Jinyi Guard and bureaucrats at all levels from acting in disobedience to the law, they secretly obstructed the people from suing the officials.

On the one hand, he ordered the celebrant to print the "Imperial Decree" and distribute it to the people, so as to prevent the Taizu Imperial Book, which encouraged the people to sue the officials, from being deliberately hidden.

Meantime. On the other hand, he also asked Jiangzuo Temple to continue to build a larger anonymous report box that the emperor knew how to open, and set it up in all post stations in the world, which were regularly retrieved by Jinyiwei and read by the emperor himself.

Nowadays, the technocrats represented by Qi Changguo and Zhao Shizhen have mastered the superb precision mechanical gear manufacturing skills, and it is still possible to create a kind of precision mechanical lock box with a clever and complex and even a password.

Of course, officially, this kind of anonymous report box is called by Zhu Yijun as a system for inquiring about people's feelings.

Zhu Yijun is also not afraid that the local officials will send people to monitor the oppressed people near the post station, whether they will come to report anonymously, and he believes that the smart people will know to go to other places to surrender.

This is also the place where the local officials have no choice but to do anything. There are really too many eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and there is more than one family in each province and even in each prefecture and county, and none of them can make themselves so powerful that other local officials have to look at their faces, and they will only wish that they would be defeated, so as to win a few more official positions for their own province.

After all, there is competition in the provinces, prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all competing for the official positions of the imperial court, especially those with real power in the capital, so it is naturally impossible to work together completely.

It's just that after Zhu Yijun's will was issued, Shen Shixing had to say to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, encouraging the people to sue the officials in such a way may it intensify the infighting between the officials and the people and fuel the petty arrogance among the bureaucrats!" ”

"There is a clear precedent in the time of Taizu, there are really corrupt and treacherous officials who secretly instigate the people to falsely accuse honest officials in order to suppress honest bureaucrats, and there are even profiteers and gentry who deliberately use this system to blackmail bureaucrats who are afraid of things, and then coerce these bureaucrats to do things for themselves, so Taizu has a sigh that it is too difficult to fight corruption!"

"And because of this, when the temple was built, it was decreed not to be accepted by Shenwen Zhou."
