The Imperial Prison is also near the Taiping Gate.

After Zhu Yunxi left the Imperial Procuratorate, he went straight to the Imperial Prison.

In addition to visiting Jiang Xuan, he secretly met another person.

Yang Shiqi.

The last time in the matter of King Hui's Mansion, he angrily reprimanded Zhu Yunxi for being rude to his brother Zhu Yunxi, and was favored by Zhan Hui and was exceptionally promoted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Yang Shiqi became a pawn of Wu Wangfu to penetrate the enemy's interior.

Now, he's going to make a difference!

"Your Royal Highness, the killer will be notorious."

Yang Shiqi reminded him.

On this cold day, you put the fat Yushi into a sack and threw it into the back lake, isn't that guy a dead end?

Today, Yang Shiqi opened his eyes.

His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson doesn't seem to have a good temper, he was really lucky before, and he reprimanded him in public and fortunately didn't get slapped in the face.

"Lone said, I didn't kill the official."

What does it matter to me with the hand of the brocade guard?

Even if the account is settled on him, Zhu Yunxi is not afraid.

History is written by people.

It's not up to you to decide whether your reputation stinks or not!

Shameless?

Can I have them shameless?

Looking at the indifferent appearance of the imperial grandson, Yang Shiqi sighed.

The heart said that the imperial history is over!

It's hopeless, wait for death!

Forgetting the unpleasant things, Yang Shiqi began to break the news about the inside story of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Your Highness, Zhan Hui is the leader among civil officials!"

"He likes to hide behind the scenes and control the big picture! Yuan Tai has always been used as a gun by Zhan Hui! ”

Zhu Yunxi looked like this.

As far as Yang Shiqi knew, Yuan Tai took the lead in impeaching Lan Yu, first at the instigation of others, and secondly, he himself wanted to strengthen his leadership image in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

wants to gain prestige by overthrowing Lan Yu, so as to contend with Zhan Hui and control the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Of course, he failed.

I still haven't played Zhan Hui.

"In Zhan Hui's eyes, Yuan Tai is from Shanxi, and he often calls Yuan Tai a northerner behind his back!"

Yang Shiqi said solemnly.

He found that in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, the north and south parties fought very fiercely!

The phenomenon of regional struggle between not only the nobles and civil officials, but also between civilian officials is more serious!

For example, Zhan Hui, the secretary of the ministry, is a native of Huangzhou, Huguang, and his ancestral home is Wuyuan, Jiangxi.

Zhao Mian, the head of the household, is a native of Huguang Yiling.

The military department is still the secretary of Ru Yu, and he is a native of Huguang Hengshan and Zaojiang.

Liu Sanwu, the boss of the Hanlin Academy, a native of Chaling, Huguang, is Zhao Mian's father-in-law.

Xia Changwen, the secretary of Dali Temple, is a native of Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture.

There are also the top three in the eighteenth year of Hongwu's imperial examination, Lian Zining, Huang Zicheng and others, all of whom are from Jiangxi.

......

They promoted and recommended each other, and their official positions rose step by step.

These people have a common characteristic: most of them are from Huguang and Jiangxi.

That is the place where Chen Youliang ruled back then!

Obviously, the "Han faction" headed by Zhan Hui and centered on the Huguang system has formed a force in the imperial court!

After Yang Shiqi's reminder, Zhu Yunxi's mouth suddenly opened.

Zhan Hui's father, Zhan Tong, he used to be an official under Chen Youliang!

Later, Chen Youliang was defeated, and Zhan Hui's father surrendered and was reused in the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that Zhan Tong's name was also changed by Zhu Yuanzhang!

Zhu Yunxi seriously suspected that it was Lao Zhu who cultivated the Han faction, which was used to counterbalance the previous Huaixi faction and the Zhedong faction.

And use Zhan Hui and other young Zhuang factions to check and balance and reconcile the old faction.

Of course, the balance of local factions is also the political balance that Lao Zhu engages in.

It's just that Lao Zhu didn't expect that Zhan Hui's gang would really be able to do it, and in just a few years, they would suppress the northern faction to a weak situation.

In history, there was also a famous case of the North and South List in the 30th year of Hongwu.

After a imperial examination, the more than 50 jinshi hired were all southerners! Not a single one in the north!

The examiner seems to want Zhao Mian's father-in-law, Liu Sanwu!

That is, the first one to jump out and strongly support the canonization of Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson!

It's all straightened out!

Zhu Yunxi originally thought that the politics of the early Ming Dynasty was simply the dispute between the Huaixi Party and the Zhedong Party.

I didn't expect the water to be so deep!

Think about it, all dynasties, no matter what period, even if it is a prosperous era, I have never heard of the struggle in the officialdom!

The only difference between prosperous times and troubled times is that the powerful emperor can control the struggle!

There will be no adverse effects.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang has long begun to clean up the officials of the southern faction.

First, Zhao Mian was transferred from the post of secretary of the criminal department to the household department, and Yang Jing, who was born in the north, was appointed as the secretary of the criminal department.

Break the situation in which the southern faction controls the three law divisions.

Then the first one to suffer was Qin Kui, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, a proper southern faction.

When Zhu Yunxi first went to the early court, Zhu Yuanzhang asked about the work of the Ministry of Industry when he listened to politics at the imperial gate, but Qin Kui did not answer and was held accountable and dismissed.

"That's it!"

Zhu Yunxi directly interrupted Yang Shiqi's in-depth introduction: "None of this is important, Lone is not interested in these tricks!" ”

It's done!

Kill their leading big brother, and those tricks behind will naturally fall apart.

Maybe they will take the initiative to flatter!

Although Yang Shiqi didn't understand the meaning of the dragon set, he could still feel the contempt for the southern faction in the imperial grandson's tone.

Although he himself is also from Jiangxi.

"His Royal Highness Taisun, Zhan Hui is hiding very deeply, and the minister has not found out that he has any evidence of being a traitor."

See, old fox one!

Zhu Yunxi still didn't care.

Since Zhan Hui's hard bone is difficult to gnaw, let's change a piece of meat to gnaw!

Coming to the Metropolitan Procuratorate today, Zhu Yunxi is only to kill the prestige of the officials!

A bunch of keyboard warriors! Let's see how Lone regulates you!

Return to the East Palace.

Zhu Yunxi referred to Zhang Juzheng and formulated a test method.

That is, the official evaluation system.

It is stipulated that the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate shall set a time limit for the officials under their command to do the things that should be done, and conduct inspections on a monthly basis.

If the work goal is not completed, it will be suspended, demoted or dismissed!

Zhu Yunxi reported the plan to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Don't you think there are too many enemies?"

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang pinched the test method and looked at Zhu Yunxi with a smile.

"What about more?"

Zhu Yunxi said indifferently: "Being an official is not for the people, if they are all messing around, is there any hope for the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Once the examination law is implemented, it won't be long before the imperial court will smooth the decree and hundreds of officials will start to do practical things!"

The number of cases of fishing at work will be greatly reduced.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly: "You are now the emperor's grandson, do whatever you want to do boldly, grandpa will support you!" ”

"Grandpa is so nice!" Zhu Yunxi smiled.

Don't look at Lao Zhu's love for power, and the strength of delegating power to the prince, that's not to say!

In the entire history of the world, Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in the prince is one of the best!

I'm not afraid to threaten the imperial power at all!

The first fire of the imperial grandson has been ignited.

Once Zhu Yunxi's test method is implemented, other departments are fine, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is considered a fryer!

The Imperial Historians feel like they're being targeted!

The main thing is that they were too easy before.

The promotion of ordinary officials depends on solid political achievements, and officials only need to use their mouths.

Their promotion costs are very low, as long as the questions asked are valuable, the rewards are great, and the promotion speed is very fast!

Of course, high returns come with high risks.

The biggest risk of speaking officials is that they are easy to offend people.

When they first started working, many speech officials were full of enthusiasm, saying that they should shoulder morality and contribute to the country and the people.

He even took the initiative to go to corrupt officials for impeachment and ask for the people's lives.

But after soaking in the big dye vat of officialdom for two years, most of the imperial history became muddy.

Every time I play, I only say something that is not painful and does not offend people, and I cope with errands.

What does it matter to me if you are corrupt or not?

After looking around, who is not greedy?

That has changed.

The imperial grandson carried out the examination method to quantify the work tasks of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It's clear how much real things you've done.

Aren't you avoiding the important and light, scratching your boots, and being afraid of sinners?

Now play up, you have to poke the key!

You can't get away with it.

If you want to make a fool of yourself by playing sloppy, it's impossible!

Zhu Yunxi did this, which is tantamount to forcing the official to offend people.

In this wave of operations, Zhu Yunxi stabbed the hornet's nest.

The imperial historians were very dissatisfied with him, and they all held back their strength in their hearts, ready to say something.

But when I thought of the fat Yushi who was thrown into the back lake, I didn't dare to say it one by one.
