Although the Ming Dynasty has long had a precedent of sending officials to patrol the localities, it is the first time that they directly ask each province to spend half of their time to go to the province where they are located, supervise and inspect, and understand the people's conditions.

Because this is not Zhu Di's temporary idea, but it will become Daming's customization!

In other words, under the premise that no one overthrows the ancestral system, it will continue forever.

Just when the big guy sighed that it was not easy to supervise the imperial history, Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, also took the initiative to write the book.

He also made it very clear that at present, the household departments are basically summing up and sorting out the financial revenues and expenditures and the taxation of various localities according to the situation of the various localities, and there are inevitably some omissions. There have been many things in the local area for a long time, and the court is not clear for a while.

Therefore, he proposed that the members and directors of the Thirteen Officials Division should be sent to inspect the localities in batches, and if the maladministration could be discovered and corrected, such meritorious officials should be rewarded vigorously and promoted first.

Zhu Di was naturally quite happy to see this.

"Okay, you don't have to check, Xia Shangshu took the initiative to ask, it's really agreeable, very good! This time the household department went to the front, if the courtiers could do the same, I wouldn't have to bother. ”

Zhu Di was in a good mood and praised Xia Yuanji.

Lao Xia is also full of joy, he has seen the overall situation this time, and he is quick to start, which can be regarded as the first place.

Zhu Di said suddenly: "Xia Qing's family, how do you see Jian Tianguan doing?" ”

Xia Yuanji was stunned, why did he ask Jian Yi?

He subconsciously said: "Jian Tianguan is diligent, and his prestige among the courtiers is quite high. is known as a true heavenly official, what a virtuous minister! ”

The heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials is also called Otsuka Xiang, so it is not wrong to call Jianyi Xianchen Liangxiang, but this title is placed in the Yongle Dynasty, and it has more or less that meaning......

Zhu Di didn't study it in detail, but said: "In this way, there is no need for you to share government affairs, after all, Jian Tianguan has done a good job." ”

In an instant, Xia Yuanji was stunned......

Did I hear me right?

Your Majesty asked me to share the affairs of righteousness?

This is a good thing that can't be sought, and in an instant, Xia Yuanji's face changed, "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister is saying that the heavenly official oversees the overall situation, assists the monarch's father, is conscientious, and impeccable...... But no one is perfect, and there is no end to power. One person is short in wisdom and two people are long, and the minister is willing to work hard to help Jian Tianguan share some trivial, laborious, and inconvenient things to deal with...... In short, the minister is willing to relieve the worries of the monarch and do his best for the court. ”

Zhu Di showed an expected smile on his face, "What I mean is that this time the six departments and nine Qing have been adjusted a lot, and a few suitable candidates need to be arranged to take over the position, and this matter is not only for me to weigh up, but also for Jian Tianguan to do it alone." There are a lot of things, and everyone has to bother. ”

Xia Yuanji came out of the Qianqing Palace, and the whole person was nervous and excited...... Finally, the Son of Heaven asked himself about employing people, and he, the head of the household, could meddle in the personnel power.

With this item, you can be on an equal footing with Jianyi, or even replace him...... After all, the Son of Heaven didn't let Jianyi interfere in finance and taxation!

The officials are half of themselves, and the household is still their own household...... Qin Shi Huang looks in the mirror, this is a win-win!

The more Xia Yuanji thought about it, the happier he became, and he drank two taels more wine in the evening...... It's just that the old wife just brought the wine up, and Xia Yuanji got up before he could drink it.

"Master, where are you going?"

Xia Yuan Ji didn't look back, only said, "I'm waiting at home." ”

Then Xia Yuanji ran to Xu's Mansion and sat by the pond with Xu Jingchang.

"That...... Xu Pingzhang, I want to ask you, these days the left capital imperial history Guo Zi was deposed, and the new left capital imperial history Wu Zhong has many mistakes, plus Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department...... These people, to a greater or lesser extent, have been inappropriate, or have been deposed, or their status is precarious. You see what you need to do with the next appointment of people in the imperial court? ”

Xu Jingchang grabbed Zizhu's fishing rod, didn't raise his head, and said with a smile: "I'm just a deputy envoy of Pingzhang, and I can't take care of the affairs of Jiuqing's important ministers, so you don't have to ask me." ”

Lao Xia was stunned, and then a hint of laughter flashed in his eyes, you just pretend to be garlic!

He lowered his voice and said, "Xu Pingzhang, there are some things I don't want to hide from you, Your Majesty inquired and wanted to arrange a suitable candidate." I pondered, in the huge court, there are not many courtiers who can take on heavy responsibilities, and I also hope to nominate a few virtuous ministers to share government affairs. You have just been appointed as the deputy envoy of Pingzhang, and you also need someone to help Pingzhangyuan do things well, all in all, the big guys must work together with one heart and one mind, right? ”

In a word, I, Xia Yuanji, have given you face, it's up to you what you do!

Xu Jingchang smiled, people give you face, you can't do without it, he put down the fishing rod, and said casually: "Over there in the Ministry of Rites, it seems to be easy, but in fact, the burden is the heaviest." Because the next Ministry of Rites Shangshu has to cooperate with the bachelor to reinterpret the unification and determine the official school, which is not easy for outsiders to ask. ”

Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "Dingguo Gong can't participate either?" ”

Xu Jingchang didn't answer, Xia Yuanji took a deep breath, this time it's the right one, it seems that the Ministry of Rites can't interfere by himself.

"What about the Criminal Department? Your Majesty is going to be replaced? ”

Xu Jingchang said again: "The criminal department really needs to be changed, but Your Majesty obviously wants to revise the law again, or that sentence, the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty has been changed, the official school has been changed, and the foundation of the law has also changed...... The next criminal department must cooperate with this, including Dali Temple, all of them must be masters of criminal names and professionals. ”

Xia Yuanji nodded again, he probably had a candidate...... However, it is also obvious that in the future, whether it is the Ministry of Rites or the Criminal Department, it will be necessary to cooperate with the reform of Confucianism and adjust the official school.

There is no need to mix it yourself, and even if you recommend a candidate, you will not use it for yourself.

Xia Yuanji thought for a while, "Now there is only the Inspectorate left...... Actually, to be honest, I don't really want to replace Wu Zhong. ”

"I don't want to." Xu Jingchang said simply.

This time Xia Yuanji was stunned, "You don't want to?" ”

"Yes, although Wu Zhong is old-fashioned, he is generally mediocre and harmless. If he is taken down, Chen Ying will inevitably take the position, which is not fun. ”

Xia Yuanji was stunned, "Are you also afraid of Chen Ying?" ”

"It's not to talk about jealousy, his cool official personality is only suitable for serving as a deputy, and let him be in charge of the Inspectorate, he has to be bloody."

Xia Yuanji thought for a moment and nodded immediately.

Although Xu Jingchang also hated it, he made the officials jump at most...... In the matter of killing, Xu Jingchang is very restrained.

After all, as an official of the same dynasty, there are some things that you still need to pay attention to.

It is precisely because of sticking to the bottom limit that he, Xia Yuanji, is willing to come over and chat with Xu Jingchang and talk about candidates.

If it was Chen Ying, Xia Yuanji wouldn't tell him half a word.

That's a person who can't trade.

Xu Pingzhang hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head. Just looking at the current situation, His Majesty is bound to promote Chen Ying. He is a martyr, he took refuge in His Majesty early, and won his trust, and I and Jian Tianguan are not as good as him. ”

Xu Jingchang pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Actually, it may not be. ”

"Not necessarily? Could it be that Xu Pingzhang has a way? Xia Yuanji was shocked, after all, Chen Ying's qualifications are enough, and Zhu Di recognizes him, no matter how you look at it, it is a certainty, and no one can stop it.

"I have a secret file of Chen Ying here."

Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that he doesn't have any tricks?" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "It's not too much of a problem, it's just that he's a little." ”

"Lustful, this shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"But the problem is that there are women from the Wa Kingdom in his family, some from the Ryukyus, and a few blonde with blue eyes and long legs sent by the Yi merchants." Xu Jingchang said: "He also likes to go to a nunnery in private, and there are tricks hidden in it. ”

Xia Yuanji was stupid, "Chen Ying gets up early and goes to bed late, she is in the yamen all day long, and diligence is well known." How can he still have the kung fu to mess with flowers and grass, and still play so flowery? Xu Pingzhang, you're not mistaken, right? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "I'm also quite puzzled, after all, I'm busy with official business all day long, and I don't even have much time to fish, he is obviously busier than me, who knows where he comes from?" ”

Xia Yuanji subconsciously looked around, Xu Jingchang's pond, there are a lot of Taihu Lake stones, and some camellias, and then look at the stones, under the flower trees, there are some white geese, beautiful peacocks, and even elegant cranes...... Xia Yuanji nodded secretly, you are so good at playing, you don't have much effort...... But it is me and Jian Yi who are really conscientious and work hard for the country.

Xia Yuanji pondered a little and sighed: "Xu Pingzhang, do you mean to rely on this matter to take down Chen Ying?" ”

"No!" Xu Jingchang shook his head resolutely, "Lao Xia, you know that Your Majesty still trusts Chen Ying, and since he does, he will not take him down because of this matter." ”

Xia Yuanji groaned slightly, and sighed: "Xu Pingzhang is really sharp, I can't be ashamed...... Since you can't take down Chen Ying, you can only let him serve as the imperial history of the left capital? ”

Xu Jingchang suddenly smiled, "That's not necessarily, in fact, there is another way...... is to let Chen Ying take the initiative to quit. ”

Xia Yuanji was surprised, "He, how could he take the initiative to quit?" He can't wait to serve as the imperial history of the left capital. ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "It's not simple, just tell him that he has evidence of his guilt in his hand, and if he serves as the imperial history of Zuodu, he will be poked out." ”

"No way!" Xia Yuanji said categorically: "I don't dare, Chen Ying is a villain, I can't offend him like this, the thief bites and gets three points into the bone." It was Xu Pingzhang who made a move, so it was logical. ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, whoever moved Chen Ying, he couldn't either.

After all, they are all emperors, and he went to cut off the wings of the Son of Heaven, so what happened? Zhu Di's not too broad heart must have an extra thorn in his eyes.

"Actually, you don't need to say it directly, just tell Chen Ying that you got some news in your hands. His current identity is not insignificant, when he becomes the imperial history of Zuodu, in charge of a country's style and constitution, someone must investigate his style, for his good, and ask him to temporarily go out of Beijing with the supervision of the imperial history, inspect the place, make contributions to the country, and resolve rumors by the way. Just wait for the day of success, and then return to Beijing to serve as the left capital, and no one will be able to stop it. ”

Xia Yuanji took a deep breath, "Xu Pingzhang, you are really a genius!" ”

Recommend a book by the old author, "Lady, please help me live forever", just look at the title of the book, it's worth looking forward to!
