After Wang Xijue said this, Shen Shixing only smiled faintly, and then said: "This is the truth, I don't dare to be a teacher." ”

"Your Majesty is wise and good at scheming, so he thinks of displaying the exquisite and novel things in the world to open up the people."

"And does this also mean that Your Majesty will be more business-oriented in the future?"

"Yuan Fu has thought about whether he can ask His Majesty to revise a commercial law because of this."

"Because we want to value commerce and manage business first, so that business has laws to follow, not no laws, and only the officials in charge of business arbitrarily set standards, so that business matters are tight today and loose tomorrow, or loose today and tight tomorrow, and a commercial commodity can be sold today and cannot be sold tomorrow."

"In addition, business should not only prosper, but also lend more money to the market, so that there is more money in the market, and it cannot be in the hands of private individuals, otherwise the country cannot be the country!"

After Wang Xijue said this, he mentioned the development of business to Shen Shixing, and looked at Shen Shixing after saying this.

Shen Shixing said: "Your Majesty values commerce, but it is difficult to say whether it will really be based on business; Divine will is unpredictable. ”

"But the will can be influenced."

Wang Xijue replied.

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "It should be mutually influencing, this time Your Majesty personally went on a tour of the west, didn't the prince compromise with them?" ”

"Was it okay to not compromise at the time?!"

"Do you really want to let those arrogant soldiers play with their lives?"

Wang Xijue spread his hand and said.

Shen Shixing replied: "So I said that it was a mutual influence, what those people did in Jingtaishi should also let the public know how serious the bad rules are, and the initiators, there is no aftermath?" No, back then, our Wenchen broke the rules first, and the other military ministers did the same. ”

"Motosuke is right!"

"That time was a great lesson! Therefore, I didn't want to do anything to the cardinal, but what kind of heart to get rid of, not to mention that with His Majesty's wisdom, I would not let the real power of civil and military affairs be the same as fire and water, even if Your Majesty wanted to do this, I would not follow the holy will and do something to destroy the Great Wall. ”

Wang Xijue nodded and replied.

Shen Shixing bowed his head: "If the public can think like this, I will be more relieved to return to my hometown." ”

"Returning home?"

Wang Xijue was shocked.

Shen Shixing nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, if you sit in the position of Shoufu for too long, no matter how much you get along with people, you will still be hated." ”

"Yuanfu, the subordinates mentioned that this great prosperity of commerce, people's livelihood and benefits, and then do not kill but take advantage of the four seas, to achieve the goal of enriching the country, strengthening the army and benefiting the people, all of them are intended to let you play in the Son of Heaven and implement it in the world!"

Wang Xijue was busy bowing to Shen Shixing at this time.

Shen Shixing said: "If the public is interested in the world, why not do it yourself?" Why count on the old man! ”

"If the country wants to be stable for a long time, it cannot be without people in power, but it cannot be allowed to govern for a long time, otherwise even if there is no heart of the minister, there will be the truth of the minister!"

"Your Majesty's western tour, the rebellious and lazy officials found were all appointed when I was the leader, I have to take responsibility, and it is also related to my long tenure as the leader, so that these people take the initiative to fight against the party in my name, after I leave, they will introspect, knowing that the clouds will go, will become dark clouds, and only the sky will always be on their heads, is what they should really be afraid of."

"Your Majesty will not be approved!"

Wang Xijue said at this time.

Shen Shixing smiled and said: "If the Son of Heaven only wants to be the king of Gou'an, he may always use me as the ruler, which is undoubtedly worry-free, and he can borrow my head to settle the world when the world is full of evils, without other effort!" ”

"However, Your Majesty is also the same as the Gong, with ambitions all over the world and revenge, so how can I not die well?"

Wang Xijue did not say anything after hearing this.

……

West Garden.

When Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue walked towards the Yuhe Bridge in Taiye Pond, Zhu Yijun was meeting several newly appointed officials in the Yuxi Palace.

The royal garden in the entire Taiye Pool area is divided into two parts, north and south, with the Yuhe Bridge as the boundary, Zhu Yijun actually only opened the south part, and the north side where he and his concubines lived and the palace attendant was not open.

As for meeting a few new supplement officers, it was a rule set by Zhu Yijun before.

Once there are local magistrates or magistrates who are close to the people and take them as officials, Zhu Yijun will see them.

The first is to ask them about the situation in the places where they are in office, and the second is to learn about the characteristics of these new group of officials.

Although Taiwan counselors often discuss major matters in vain for the sake of fame, which will affect the emperor and the ruling ministers to do things, Zhu Yijun did not abandon the speech official system, because the speech official also has his interests, and his interest is to allow the ministers in the court to be supervised.

Although it is not excluded that some officials will scold the emperor, most of them are actually more fond of scolding ministers, especially the problems of the entire bureaucracy, especially the high-ranking bureaucrats.

After all, they rely on the impeachment of ministers for their food, and most of them are young, and they can be selected in principle, so they dare to confront the powerful at the local level, so they naturally dare to speak out about some problems.

You must know that bureaucrats who have been getting along for a long time, especially those who can get along with the central ministries and officials, will actually have a tendency to hide their relatives from each other, that is, they will take the initiative to conceal the mistakes of others, or pretend not to see them.

In this way, you can strive not to offend others, and others will not target you.

After all, once you do it in the central court, there will be a lot of things to deal with every day, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems that are easy to be put on the line, and it will gradually develop into the point that you must not offend me, and I will not offend you.

People have the heart of seeking peace and stability, even greater than the pursuit of fame and profit and harm to others, so this phenomenon is difficult to avoid, especially in a high position, the higher the status, the more they want to seek stability, the more they like to be with the light.

And this also requires some young and outspoken officials to serve as spokesmen, to put forward opinions when they have nothing to do, and to toss and turn in the officialdom that is about to die, so as to prevent the entire bureaucracy from being excessively angry to the point of hiding dirt and dirt and then becoming corrupt together.

This is also the reason why Qiangang is as arbitrary as Zhu Yuanzhang, and would rather abolish the prime minister than abolish the official.

It is because although he will inevitably make the emperor uncomfortable, it will also make many high-ranking officials in power uncomfortable, and make high-ranking officials uncomfortable more times, and make the court dare not be too quiet, and even because no one criticizes, it is really full of praise, and then they all live in the information cocoon room and do very stupid things.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun did not abandon the speech officials, but paid more attention to the construction of the speech road, and would also meet with the newly supplemented speech officials, and encouraged these speech officials to dare to speak out, but also guided them to speak well, and warned them not to turn the matter of bringing a speech into a personal show that deliberately messed up the trend of fame.

In addition, Zhu Yijun's meeting with these new speakers also gave him a preliminary understanding of the new batch of speakers, and if there were really any unsuitable ones, he would be transferred to another post before he could speak.

"Your Majesty!"

"When the minister impeached Yuan Fushen, he practiced nepotism and manipulation of the system!"

"Because of these behaviors, Dang Xin, Cao Zideng and other people who have brought disaster to the country and the people have been pushed out by the court, and many pro-people officials such as Yin Zhixian have been selected for the examination, but in fact, they all have the disadvantages of being officials who are not from their party and cannot be anointed; It also made Kedao, no official dared to say that His Majesty had too much money to go out of Beijing. ”

"The specific operation is that Shen Shoufu took the initiative not to be an enemy of any Beijing officials, and also took the initiative to reconcile the contradictions between them, promising that they would be the turn of the ministers and ministers according to their qualifications, but the premise is that these Beijing officials are not enemies of local officials, and they are also ranked by seniority, so that the examination law exists in name only, and the disadvantages of relatives and relatives are great, after all, if you understand qualifications, it is natural that the qualifications of the people around you are the most understood, and people who have never been familiar with it, how many years have they been in a state and a county, who is not their own who wants to take the initiative to ask?"

"In this way, wouldn't it be nominally not a private party, but in fact a private party would have been formed in the world long ago?"

"The minister thinks that he Shen Shoufu harbors evil intentions, and treats His Majesty insincerely, at least he should be responsible for the many rebels and embezzlers who are promoted by the court!"

When Zhu Yijun announced these new supplements, a royal historian named Xu Honggang directly handed Zhu Yijun a bullet seal, and the object of impeachment was the current first assistant Shen Shixing, and also mentioned that the emperor spent too much money on his western tour.

Zhu Yijun frowned slightly after hearing this, and then smiled faintly: "You are bold, the first assistant of the auxiliary for ten years, during which you have the civil rule of exempting horses and silver from forced labor, and the martial arts of pacifying Burma and conquering Luzon, and now you are recovering the Hetao, but in the eyes of you, you have become a person who harbors evil intentions; In addition, what are the disadvantages of spending my own internal money to benefit the people and reward the army, is it because I am not thrifty and keep more for my children and grandchildren? ”

"Your Majesty's Holy Candle!"

"The minister does mean this, and it is true that the internal money is His Majesty's private wealth, but ordinary people still know how to save money for the benefit of their children and grandchildren, not to mention that His Majesty is the Son of Heaven!"

"Your Majesty does not use the internal funds sparingly today, then after thousands of generations, the kings of future generations will definitely embezzle the national funds to make up for the internal funds due to the lack of internal funds, and the father of this dynasty is like the sky, once the Son of Heaven insists on this, no one can stop it!"

"As for Shen Shoufu, the minister said that he harbored evil intentions, but between the ministers, His Majesty can believe it or not, and it is all in His Majesty."

"But the minister only dares to speak to Your Majesty, whether he has the heart of Shen Shoufu or not, he should stop now!"

"Because a person, whether he intends to become a powerful minister or not, as long as he has been in the position of the head of the hundred officials for a long time, he will get used to using his own people, so that the whole world is his people, and it is easy for the officials in the world to only know him and not His Majesty, because he is only more familiar with his own people."

"But often people he knows will also take advantage of his familiarity to trick him."

"As the saying goes, flowing water does not rot the household pivot and does not beetle, if you don't stop at this time, you will do too much evil in the future, you can only kill it!"

"In order for the world not to increase the number of killings, please ask Your Majesty to think carefully about what the ministers say, so it is enough for the ministers to be punished."

After Xu Honggang said this, he bowed to the ground.

Zhu Yijun said at this time: "Do you know that this dress has been worn for a long time, this person has been intimate for a long time, and he is reluctant to use a thing for a long time, let alone a person." ”

"Ask the canal to be as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you can't favor one person alone in the harem, and the same is true for the outer court! You can't change your predecessors because you want to be comfortable and stable, and you don't want to toss without tossing, so that they can breed evil hearts. ”

Xu Honggang continued.
