Chapter 22 Motosuke, I have doubts
"Rich country, strong army." Zhang Juzheng was sitting in danger, and it was a big matter for the Beijing battalion to promote and supplement the generals, and it involved the military power of the Beijing battalion.
Daming and Altan Khan fought in Xuanda for more than ten years, but they have not won the war, the current predicament of the Ming situation, can probably be attributed to the fact that they can't win, how can the Jin Party step by step, the power inside and outside the opposition?
It's not that it hasn't won, so that the Jin Party has consolidated its position step by step.
If you can be like Emperor Cheng Zuwen, you can drive straight in, and you can fight thousands of miles away from the north.
Can this still be the case today? Does the Jin Party still have such courage?
Zhang Juzheng continued: "The ancients said that although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. Today, the Beijing camp has been peaceful for a long time, the armament is slack, and the staff is under the restraint of the scribes. In the future, those who are loyal and brave should be given the right to do things so that they can display their talents. ”
"In Beijing four grades and above and the provincial officials, in the governors, towns, patrols and other officials, each raise their talents to prepare for the appointment. If the person who does something meritorious or bad, he will be rewarded and punished. ”
Zhang Juzheng began by quoting a sentence from Du Pre-soldier's book "Sima Law", although the world is temporarily stable, but forgetting that war will definitely become dangerous.
And the Ming military equipment is relaxed, the generals of the Ming Dynasty, the generals (grass-roots officers), and the soldiers are all subject to the control of civilian officials, and it is difficult to move an inch everywhere.
And in the Beijing camp, the governors at all levels of the Ming Dynasty, the town guards, the governors, and the four grades or above, can recommend generals, reward and punish together, reward and reward together for meritorious service, and punish together for mistakes.
How exactly is decentralization?
Qi Jiguang ambushed Dong Fox, captured Dong Fox's nephew, and sent him to Beijing, when the situation was sudden, Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, only knew afterwards, but Liang Menglong did not impeach Qi Jiguang for using troops privately, but went to the congratulatory table and praised Qi Jiguang's bravery.
This is decentralization.
The enemy has been bullied to the doorstep, and the governor and the chief military officer have to discuss it, how to divide the credit, how to divide the pot, what kind of battle is this? Unclear rights and responsibilities, and multiple orders are taboos.
And who is the army headed by? In wartime, generals are the mainstay.
This is decentralization.
Wang Chonggu wanted to pull his dog to the Beijing camp to eat the imperial grain, and the method proposed by Zhang Juzheng was that both the civil and military forces inside and outside the Ming Dynasty could nominate generals.
Zhang Juzheng said that what he said was bright and bright, and he explained the selection method in detail, and practiced all the generals and generals who were recommended to the Beijing camp.
How do you do it? According to what charter?
Qi Jiguang wrote two military books, and he trained according to those two military books, what the Zhejiang army could bear, and the selected generals couldn't bear it?
The ten-year-old master of the Ming Dynasty can grit his teeth and persevere, saying that he is a natural nobleman, can he still be more noble than His Majesty?
Real gold is not afraid of fire, forged by fire, cooked by fire, and the rest are elite.
When Feng Bao heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and praised: "This method is good!" Since it is to revitalize the army, since it is to strengthen the army! That's how it works. ”
"Wang Shaobao, don't you think that Jingying is erosive, didn't you say that Juxian does not avoid relatives? Do you dare to throw all the people on your list into it? ”
"What don't you dare!" Wang Chonggu clasped his hands and said: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, someone will cheat, cheat, practice well, and in the end, all that is left will be a group of people who tend to be inflammatory!" ”
Zhang Juzheng frowned, watching Wang Chonggu's face become a little colder, his hand stretched out a little in front of the table, leaned back, and said in a flat tone: "Wang Shaobao is too worried, how many pairs of eyes are staring at this matter, the military department, the governor's mansion of the five armies, and the ministers of the admiral, in broad daylight, everyone is watching, and deceiving, isn't it a villain's relatives?" Besides, isn't there Wang Shaobao staring? ”
As soon as Zhang Juzheng said this, there was only the sound of the little emperor turning the book and the spring breeze blowing the curtain in the Wenhua Palace, and the noise of the original small discussion suddenly quieted down.
Everyone was a little nervous, Zhang Juzheng usually spoke very gently, and his tone changed slightly, and everyone noticed it.
"I hope so." Wang Chonggu noticed the change in Zhang Juzheng's tone, and immediately said: "Yuanfu, I either question Yuanfu's integrity, or I am afraid that this eunuch will make trouble for the commanders and ministers. ”
Yang Bo sees people very accurately, Wang Chonggu is irritable, and he was provoked by Feng Baosan in two sentences, this is aphasia, saying things that should not be said, both internal and external civil and military can be promoted, everyone practiced, and the best of the best was selected, but Zhang Juzheng proposed it.
Wang Chonggu questioned that someone was cheating, and first pointed the gun at Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll preside over this time, if something bad happens to the admiral's ministers, I will definitely show your majesty and deal with it." ”
Wang Chonggu breathed a sigh of relief, who did not offend Zhang Juzheng, an offensive word, said it, Zhang Juzheng would not be so careful.
Face is given to each other, Zhang Juzheng is dissatisfied, Wang Chonggu said soft words in front of so many people, and this beam has not been completely concluded.
"Villain." Feng Bao scolded Wang Chonggu's villain, just now Yang Bo talked to Zhang Juzheng, and said a word of eunuch, then Feng Bao wanted to scold back.
Wang Chonggu immediately replied: "Eunuch." ”
"Villain."
"Wang Shaobao." Yang Bo watched the scolding war start again, and reminded Wang Chonggu at the beginning, don't be like a eunuch.
"Hmph."
"Humph!"
Yang Bo came forward, and the scolding battle stopped in the middle of two cold snorts, and Feng Bao refused to eat at all.
Wang Chonggu accepted the proposal, and everyone went to the school field, whether it was a mule or a horse, and pulled it out for a walk.
His list, Tan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was stuck for a few months, and the official department impeached him, Tan Lun immediately sent a message, and put on an attitude that he would not do it and would not pass.
If the dispute continued, Zhang Juzheng was impatient and transferred all the elite of the Zhejiang army to the Beijing camp, and Wang Chonggu, the commander of the Beijing camp, completely became an empty shelf and decoration.
What Zhang Juzheng said was actually Tan Lun's idea.
Why did Tan Lun refuse to approve the list for a long time, Wang Chonggu's list was Wang Chonggu's personal contacts, whether Wang Chonggu was willing or not, he had to recommend it like that.
all sat on the Wenhua Palace, as one of the twenty-seven courtiers, writing a promotion of generals, and actually having to consider human feelings, kneeling to be a Ming Duke, what kind of Ming Gong is that!
That's how it was settled.
The court meeting was noisy, but under the auspices of Zhang Juzheng, most of them had a relatively good result, and the disposal was extremely fast, and the examination method that had been stuck was not stuck.
A government decree pats the brain to decide, that is not what a mature Ming Gong should do, and it is the proper meaning to constantly summarize lessons and lessons in the process of operation, and then promote it to the whole country.
Zhu Yijun got the new textbook "The Illustrated Legend of the Emperor", which is the story of the kings of the past dynasties compiled by Zhang Juzheng, although there are only 117 short chapters, but each of them has a profound meaning.
"The ministers are leaving." The court meeting ended in a loud noise, and the people who were waiting for the emperor to read began to enter.
Feng Bao said very solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister heard yesterday that His Majesty wanted to take care of Nongsang, and there were many difficulties, so he was anxious for a while, so he told Yuanfu about it and asked him to help think of a way, after all, it is a matter of the outer court, and the minister is not good to talk about." ”
"Well, you're good today, keep it up." Zhu Yijun closed the "Four Books of Direct Explanation" and looked at Feng Bao, nodded with satisfaction and said.
Who did Feng Bao listen to? Listen to what the palace maid arranged by Zhang Hong of the Qianqing Palace. How did Feng Bao spread the word outside the palace? Feng Bao asked his son Xu Jue to go.
Zhang Hong had already passed the ceremony before going to the hall in the morning.
Each has its own purpose, and it works together to make this happen.
"Your Majesty's false praise, false praise, the minister is relying on His Majesty's imperial authority to kill them." Feng Bao smiled on his face, and hurriedly said, the emperor praised him, and his position in the palace was stable.
The emperor will grow up after all.
Zhu Yijun did not blame Feng Bao for revealing the news to the outside, what can be revealed and what cannot be revealed, as a big man in the palace, Feng Bao should understand the scale.
If there is no news between the palace and outside the palace, it is easy to misunderstand, and if there is any information between the palace and the palace, then the emperor is extremely dangerous.
As for how to leak out some confidential information mixed with some false information in an effective, reasonable, purposeful, and appropriate time at the right time, this is a very sophisticated ability to study the skills of our ancestors.
Leaking secrets is a means in itself.
Zhu Yijun admires Feng Bao very much because of Feng Bao's level of "The Book of Angry People", Zhang Hong's temperament, I am afraid it is difficult to learn.
Feng Baochang breathed a sigh of relief, holding his hand and smiling, His Majesty praised it, and he didn't blame him for spreading the news, which proves that his position can be more stable.
"Mr. Motosuke is talented." Zhu Yijun is reading books and listening to politics, and Zhang Juzheng's handling is easy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Zhang Juzheng accepted this praise quite proudly, and his talent and ability were worthy of His Majesty's praise.
At the beginning of the preaching and dispelling doubts, it was still the Analects and the sage books, but Zhang Juzheng always felt that the little emperor's understanding was a little strange, and the sage books were all annotated by the emperor beyond recognition.
Did Confucius really mean that?
Giving a feast to the little emperor even made Zhang Juzheng feel like he was sitting and discussing, but all the notes of the little emperor were formed after a question and answer, and Zhang Juzheng said it himself, which seemed to be the case.
Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and said: "Zigong said: Poor but no flattery, rich but not arrogant, what is it? Zi said: Yes. Those who are not poor are happy, and those who are rich and courteous. ”
"Humiliation. Arrogance: Arrogant and arrogant. Yes, yes, but not to the extreme. ”
Zigong asked the Master, "How about being poor but not flattering, rich but not arrogant?" Confucius said, "Yes." But it is not as good as the poor and happy, and the rich and gracious. ”
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked, "What does Mr. Yuanfu understand?" ”
Zhang Juzheng replied: "When ordinary people are poor, they have no intention of groveling, and when they are rich, they do not have the heart of arrogance, which is extremely rare. ”
"If you can be poor and cold, and still enjoy pursuing the way of sages, be rich and noble, and still pursue the rituals, then you will be far beyond ordinary people. The Master's reply to Zigong was to encourage him to pursue the realm he had not yet reached. ”
"It is said: the poor are not flattering, the rich are not arrogant; Living in poverty is the way, rich and courteous. ”
"So." Zhu Yijun nodded quite accurately and asked, "Yuanfu, I have doubts. ”
"If a person is in poverty, hungry, without clothing, when walking, the gravel on the road wears out the soles of his feet, at this time some people say, kneel down and kowtow, there is food to eat, there are clothes to wear, there are shoes to block the pain of gravel, Yuan Fujiao, how can this person not kneel?"
Zhang Juzheng frowned, many pictures flashed in front of him, and said: "No, that's why I have to live in poverty." ”
Zhu Yijun asked suspiciously: "Since you want to kneel and be flattering and humble, you can't be poor and humble, let alone pursue the way of sages." ”
"Yes, yes." Zhang Juzheng replied.
Zhu Yijun continued to ask: "If a person, in the midst of wealth and nobility, injured the lowly, one punch three cents, ten punches fifty wen, kill someone one tael of silver, or even one or two pieces of silver, no one punishes the dead, someone covers up for him, but he does evil but does not know it, Yuan Fujiao me, how can this person not be reckless?" ”
Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time before bowing his head and saying, "No." That's why you have to be rich and courteous. ”
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "Since you are arrogant, you can't be rich without being arrogant, let alone rich and courteous." ”
"Yes, yes." Zhang Juzheng replied.
The king's remarks made the Wenhua Hall fall into silence, and when the sage book was read here, there seemed to be some unexplained phenomena, and the emperor was asking, Zhang Juzheng, a great talent, seemed to be unable to be explained by the sage's training.
What is Zhu Yijun asking?
The little good man punched the servant slave and threw down the three copper coins, and the servant slave would be grateful to Dade.
Since then, the little good man knows that it only takes three words to beat someone, ten punches and some money, and kill someone, and there is no need to be afraid, someone helps cover up, in the eyes of the little good man, doing evil is not evil at all, is that person still a person?
No.
In the eyes of the little good man, man becomes an object.
People are all objects, so what else is there to mention about being arrogant, rich and studious?
Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "If poverty and hardship do not change, after all, they will be flattering and humiliated, if they are rich and noble, without restraint, they will inevitably be arrogant and arrogant. ”
Zhu Yijun picked up the pencil and wrote a few words.
