"Han Cheng, what's wrong? Why don't you speak? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked.

In the voice, there was some panic and anxiety.

This is an emotion that rarely appears in Zhu Yuanzhang.

But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was panicked.

Biao'er asked Han Cheng if he had done anything wrong with the child, and Han Cheng said yes.

Then, Han Cheng reacted like this.

Who didn't panic when this happened?

After all, after Zhu Qizhen, his own Daming finally appeared as an existence in the past, which can be said to be the master of Zhongxing in his Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't want to see too many stains on him.

But now, judging from Han Cheng's reaction, he is only afraid of ...... What I feared most happened anyway.

Zhu Jianshen, the master of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, has made a lot of mistakes in many things!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that the whole person was not good!

Zhu Biao on the side couldn't sit still.

You must know that for a long time, this situation rarely occurs when Han Cheng talks about the future.

Once this abnormal performance occurs, it is naturally a big deal!

For example, say that you died ten years later.

For example, the fourth is the Emperor Yongle.

For example, about Zhu Qizhen.

Han Chengdu is spitting.

Now, when talking about the mistakes made by Zhu Jianshen, Han Cheng once again showed an abnormal performance.

This made Zhu Biao panic.

The emperors of the later generations of the Ming Dynasty, are they all so wonderful?

Finally, such a refreshing person as Zhu Jianshen appeared, but now, it is also a big problem? !

was shocked by the news that suddenly broke out on the lover's system, and Han Cheng, who was mourning for Zhu Yunwen in time and space in history, as well as Zhu Qizhen and others, was awakened by Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

He couldn't hold back the emotion of eating melons and said, "That...... Father-in-law, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered something. ”

Han Cheng decided that it would be better to keep it a secret for the time being as for the things that could go to various time and space in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

It is not appropriate to disclose it at this time.

He hadn't thought of how to explain this matter to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao for the time being.

And, more importantly, he doesn't have the ability to travel to the future with them now.

No further details on this matter have been obtained.

I don't know what the rules are, what the way is.

It's not good to say it at this time.

Judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Qizhen, once he knows that there is such an opportunity, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely be eager to do it and practice his hands well.

But I don't have this ability yet, and I'm not sure when I can meet the conditions and get the lover's gift package.

Therefore, it is better to hold a steady hand.

Everything will wait until the dust settles, and then it will not be too late to inform Lao Zhu about this matter.

"What's the matter? Just say? Did Zhu Jianshen go too far in some things? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked.

When he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang unconsciously clenched his fists.

Han Cheng shook his head and said, "No, father-in-law, don't think about it!"

Although Emperor Chenghua has merits and faults, in real terms, his merits are far greater than those of faults!

Not to mention the rest, only after he ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty was troubled internally and externally, and if he was not careful, he could overturn and fall into the endless abyss.

And after he became the emperor for more than 20 years, the country handed over to his son was a country with no internal turmoil, no strong enemies outside, and the treasury was the most abundant in the Ming Dynasty.

From here, it can be seen that he really has more merit than demerit.

To evaluate an emperor, one should not only focus on his private virtues, nor can we only focus on some of the mistakes he has made, and turn a blind eye to the rest.

It needs to be seen in a holistic way.

When looking at an emperor, one should first treat him as an emperor, and then as a person.

The attributes of the emperor are much higher than the attributes of individuals.

Because he sat in that position, he was no longer human. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang originally heard Han Cheng say that Zhu Jianshen was definitely more meritorious than demeritorious, and he was relieved in his heart, and felt quite happy.

But who would have thought that Han Cheng immediately followed up with another sentence, being on the throne is not a human being.

made Zhu Yuanzhang feel weird in his heart.

Although he could understand what Han Cheng meant by this, it sounded like Han Cheng, a muddy boy, was just taking the opportunity to scold himself!

Han Yingying didn't see the change in Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, and continued to speak: "When evaluating an emperor, the first thing to put is what merits he has made.

During his reign, did he expand his territory? Isn't it the rule of the officials?

Is there an order for the people to live and work in peace and contentment?

Is it to promote the prestige of Huaxia in all countries?

At the worst, you should also ask if you have kept the territory left by your ancestors.

The rivers and mountains that were inherited from the previous generation, through their own governance, have become better or worse.

As long as the overall is good, it means that the emperor has done a decent job in his reign.

If these aspects are a mess, then no matter how good his personal morality is, no matter how good he is at writing lyrics and paintings, he is not a qualified emperor!

It's the Lord of Mediocrity. ”

After listening to Han Cheng's words, and seeing Han Cheng's attitude so upright and sincere, Zhu Yuanzhang was finally convinced that Han Cheng didn't scold himself just now.

He just talks about things.

"You're right! That's how we see it.

As an emperor, the most important thing is to do what you need to do well as an emperor, and that's the most important thing.

As for the rest, it's all minutiae.

Even many things, such as painting and writing poetry, are better than not.

Once obsessed, he only cares about painting and writing poems, how much time does this have to delay in dealing with political affairs?

To evaluate an emperor, we should also focus more on what he has done in major national affairs!

What you said really came to our hearts! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously, expressing his agreement with Han Cheng's words.

Zhu Biao also felt that what Han Cheng said was very reasonable.

Looking at the emperor, you really can't see it as an ordinary person.

The first thing to look at is his politics, and then to look at something else.

"When Zhu Jianshen was in power, he began to appoint missionary officials, and the number of appointments was quite a lot."

Han Cheng began to tell Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Biao and the two talked about Emperor Chenghua's mistakes.

The so-called herald, literally, is an official who is ordered to convey the emperor's orders.

Later, his power began to increase, and he would also be responsible for the emperor's diet and daily life.

Chuanfeng official was not invented by Emperor Zhu Jianshen of Chenghua, but existed in the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that when Zhu Jianshen was appointed, he had the most power and power.

The herald is not an official who has been promoted through normal channels.

It is the emperor who uses the central decree to promote and appoint, without going through the official department, without going through the selection process, court promotion and ministerial discussion.

Therefore, those who have become officials through the serious path and have been promoted look down on the ministers.

The herald is also at the bottom of the chain of official contempt.

Officials who come from serious backgrounds never take it seriously.

In fact, the official cannot threaten the officials who are promoted through the normal way.

Relative to their authority, and their sheer numbers, the ministers were no match for them.

A scholar who thinks he has the ability will never serve as a missionary.

But when it came to Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen, it became different.

At the beginning of Emperor Chenghua's succession, he issued an edict to grant a worker named Yao Wang as the deputy envoy of the Wensi Academy.

This is a nine-grade petty official, and the civil officials don't care.

Zhu Jianshen later appointed some missionary officers one after another.

However, because of the small number, the reaction of the civilian clique is still not large.

But later, the number of missionaries increased, and at the most time, hundreds of people were even obtained at one time.

And the power of the ministers is also increasing, seriously interfering with the normal promotion process.

As a result, it began to cause fierce resistance from the civilian clique......

As Zhu Jianshen appointed more and more ministers, the civil officials became more and more dissatisfied.

In the face of the West Factory, they will all oppose fiercely, let alone the minister.

However, in the matter of the minister, Emperor Chenghua's attitude was much more resolute.

Under the opposition of the ministers, he not only did not stop, but also got more ministers.

Many of these people are ordinary people from craftsmen, painters, monks, and Taoist priests.

And the official positions that these people were awarded were not only the Ministry of Industry, the Wensi Institute and the Jinyiwei.

began to spread all over the major civil and military institutions of the imperial court.

According to historical records, in the first seven years of the Chenghua Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen appointed more than 280 ministers.

Among them, more than 20 people have become Zhongshu people.

In the middle and late stages of the Chenghua Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen appointed a preacher official, which can be said to be unscrupulous.

There are even Taoist priests and monks who serve as high-ranking officials like Taichang Siqing.

This kind of abuse of official positions has made the civil officials and doctors very dissatisfied, so there have been many contradictions and conflicts.

In order to oppose Zhu Jianshen's chaos, the civilian-bureaucratic group and the cabinet have repeatedly written against the official system.

But each time there was no noticeable effect.

The civil officials objected fiercely, and Zhu Jianshen symbolically removed some of them.

As soon as the limelight passed, he repeated his old tricks.

As a result, this kind of tug-of-war caused by the passing of officials ran through the entire Chenghua Dynasty and became one of Zhu Jianshen's most famous malpractices.

And the eunuchs and concubines who Zhu Jian deeply favored also took advantage of this system to betray the official mantle.

It is recorded that at its peak, there were thousands of people serving as ministers.

Not to mention other places, there are more than 800 military attaches in the army alone......"

"You wait a minute!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded and shouted to stop Han Cheng.

"You call this a big mistake of Emperor Chenghua?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and said in a strange voice with some doubts.

Han Chengdao: "That's right, not following the normal procedures for selecting officials has destroyed the normal selection channels.

Isn't it a big mistake not to take the path of the imperial examination, which has caused dissatisfaction among a large number of officials and led to turmoil among officials? ”

"Why do we think you're talking back here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng with a suspicious expression.

Han Cheng shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything back, father-in-law, what I said is true." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then why do we think that it is not a fault to see that child who is deep and use the minister?"

On the contrary, I feel that it is a very possible means!

As for the mess left by the brute in Zhu Qizhen, the civil officials have gradually become bigger.

If you want to get useful manpower, control the court, and use conventional means, it is simply difficult to achieve.

Serving as a preacher is a very good way to go.

In our opinion, it is very good for him to use the herald!

There is a western factory, plus a system of ministers, which can allow him to hold authority,

Increases the influence of the Emperor.

When I heard some of what you said, we felt a little strange.

I feel that if he just relies on a western factory to carry out checks and balances, he should not be able to achieve such a good effect.

It is difficult to succeed in rectifying the rule of officials.

Those civil servants are the most difficult.

Now that I've heard you say this, we're suddenly surprised.

It turns out that this kid's means are not just that one!

In addition to the West Factory, this preacher is also a top priority.

The civil service has become the climate, and those who are selected according to the normal situation will definitely be thrown into the arms of the civil service again.

It seems to us that it is very difficult for Kanshen to expand his influence and hold power, and not to use these infrequently used means.

In the words of the heralds, these heralds themselves were able to become officials because of their appointments.

Their rights come directly from the child who sees the depths.

Then it is natural to obey the orders of the deep.

What's even better is that officials who are promoted through abnormal channels such as missionaries are naturally looked down upon by those civil officials.

In between, urinate into a pot.

will only twist each other, and everyone will look at who is not pleasing to the eye.

In this way, it is possible to ensure that these people are loyal to the deep and deep, and not quickly join the civil service.

These people have no background, and they themselves were created by him with the middle purpose.

If you really want to be recalled, that's also a matter of one sentence, and there will definitely not be much trouble.

This is a great move!! ”

The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he felt that Zhu Jianshen's trick was wonderful.

If it weren't for Han Cheng talking about it, he wouldn't have thought of using the trick of the official to fight with the civil official.

The power of those civil servants has swelled dramatically.

In a good mood, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but glare at Han Cheng again.

"You bastard boy, we won't let you say back, you're still here to talk back to us.

What's the downside?

This is clearly a very good move!

In our opinion, the significance is far-reaching!

It's a great idea to come up with something like this and promote it! ”

Han Cheng shook his head a little helplessly and said, "Father-in-law, I really didn't say anything back in this matter.

That's what the record says.

It is also said that there are many ministers, because of their strange skills and ingenuity, they were appointed by Emperor Chenghua.

It is also said that through such means, disputes arose between the court officials of the Huiling and fought with each other.

As a result, the efficiency of the government is inefficient.

Internal friction is severe. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted when he heard this: "Do you also believe these?"

Once these civil officials become bigger, once they are united, don't you know what kind of virtue it is?

Without others to compete, many serious things will not be done.

A corpse vegetarian meal.

It's really an expert when you fight inward, but the rest of the business is like a fart when you do it.

Look at those people in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has become like that, and one is more powerful than the other.

In our opinion, this kid is good to use this trick!

It is certainly impossible for this trick of the preacher to be free of any shortcomings, and it will inevitably have some adverse effects.

For example, as you said, someone will take the opportunity to sell officials and knights.

For example, as you said, it will cause mutual conflict and low efficiency.

It can be said that if there are no ministers, only those civil officials will be dominant, and they will not slack off on government.

They will only go more excessive.

These are all minor problems in our opinion!

The positive effects of this measure are greater than some of the adverse effects it has had.

That's enough!

Don't think that everything is done perfectly, and don't think that a policy will benefit everyone.

It's simply impossible.

What can be done is only continuous trade-offs, and if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, then it is already possible! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said this, and couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Zhu Biao.

Obviously, he said these words, although he was refuting Han Cheng and teaching Han Cheng a lesson.

But at the same time, it was also for Zhu Biao.

These are some of his ideas for governing the country.

In extraordinary times, we should use extraordinary methods, and if it is possible, it must be to take the right path in an upright manner.

However, sometimes, the right path doesn't work, and that must be to find a way to go off the rails.

The way the sword goes sideways, that's the way!

If the situation does not allow it, there is no need to stick to the rules.

The living are still suffocated by urine? ”

Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's style of acting is so flexible.

He felt that as long as the middle degree could be grasped well, then it would be fine.

Of course, the most difficult thing to grasp is this degree.

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and looked at Han Cheng again: "You kid, you have always been very smart, why are you a little brainless this time?"

You can't see that these people are using the preacher because they are deeply aware of it, fighting for their interests and harming their rights.

Make their lives hard.

That's why they're smearing this in the record?

Think about the virtues of those literati, who are accustomed to reversing black and white and telling right and wrong.

Seeing Shen, this kid first made the West Factory, and then used the herald to block them.

Divide their rights and limit their development.

It's weird if they could say something nice about it! ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, Han Cheng had nothing to say for a while.

After all, he told Zhu Yuanzhang according to the things in the record.

But Zhu Yuanzhang has to understand it like this, and he has no choice.

And after Zhu Yuanzhang said Han Cheng, he turned his head to look at Zhu Biao and said: "Biao'er, let's teach you one more thing, that is, when you do things, don't listen to what those officials say."

Look at their essence through their words and deeds.

Look at what they're thinking in their hearts.

Sometimes, when you implement a policy, they scold fiercely, and their behavior is also fierce, and they want to confront you.

That means that some of the methods you used have worked, poking their lung tubes.

On the contrary, if the court is harmonious, they will praise you for doing a good job and follow you.

I'm afraid that if one of them doesn't get it right, you'll be deceived by them.

What they did was right for them.

It's easy to make them big.

What should I say about these people...... Although it counts, it will work for us and manage the world for us.

However, they are also the most susceptible to cholera.

And the many bad things they have done, they will not bear it themselves, and many people below will remember these on our heads.

They made mistakes, made all kinds of money, and brutalized the people, but let us carry the black pot for them, which is annoying to think about!

Don't think that our royal family and these officials are naturally one.

But it's not.

These are only superficial.

The people we should be closest to the most are the many people below, not these officials.

We need to use these officials, but we also need to guard them strictly.

If anyone who is an emperor thinks that he is in the same group as those officials, the end will definitely be miserable.

Soon the country will be defeated.

Most of these officials, except for a very few, think about themselves.

Don't say anything else, just look at the Great Song Dynasty, I have to get a gentleman and a doctor to share the world.

What did it end up looking like?

It's always been a bag!

Da Song has been aggrieved since Zhao Laoer.

Those civil servants can't make a big deal.

Intrigue or something is the best, and the rest is not.

We have also heard a lot of history, and if you think about it carefully, since Qin Shi Huang, all the glorious eras have not been the era of civilian power.

The first emperor ruled the world, and Liu Bang established the Great Han Dynasty, including the rule of Wenjing, and the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che played the heroic style of the Great Han, and then to the rule of Li Shimin's Zhenguan.

Even our Daming, our Hongwu Dynasty, and the Yongle Dynasty of the fourth child mentioned by Han Cheng are not the era of literati.

We're not saying that literati are useless.

They are useful.

But they can't let their family be dominant, let alone share the world with them.

The real idea, we have to take it.

Let them beat the side drum and help do things, but nothing else.

So in our opinion, as emperors, we must stand firmly with many people!

This is where our greatest strength lies!

As long as we stand firmly with these people, the more stable the people are, the more reliable our Ming dynasty will become.

Relying only on those officials in the middle, they can't make too big waves.

Many officials are not honest, and they still want to live a free life when they were in Mengyuan, and all kinds of corruption and perversion of the law are really damned!

For this person, let's kill one stubble after another, and I haven't seen chaos in this world!

Why is this happening? It's because the people are not of the same mind as them!

Of course, in Han Cheng's words, this is the most fundamental principle, and we need to know where our ass should be when we are emperors.

When it is really implemented, it must also use some means and pay attention to some methods, and it is not possible to kill indiscriminately. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's governance of the country over the years was not given for nothing.

Through his own practice and study, he has long formed a set of his own way of doing things.

Zhu Biao nodded vigorously and wrote it down with a pen on the spot.

These are all good words.

It is worth carefully scrutinizing and understanding and learning.

These words are also what my father is willing to say to himself.

Han Cheng couldn't help but nod when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

I have to say that this Hongwu Emperor deserves to be the Hongwu Emperor.

The cognition on the ass issue is really in place.

But it's right to think about it, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang himself finally embarked on the road of rebellion and became the emperor because he couldn't survive.

It's not surprising that he has this kind of understanding.

"Han Cheng, tell us again, what are the shortcomings of this kid in Jianshen."

When the voice fell, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly added: "Let's talk to you first, don't talk back." ”

When Han Cheng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, he obviously didn't say anything back just now, okay, why can't he explain it clearly?

Han Cheng thought for a moment and then spoke: "In addition to the extensive use of the Missionary Officer, there is also the fact that the killing of the West Factory is too ......."

"Stop!"

As soon as Han Cheng spoke, he was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang waving his hand.

He glanced at Han Cheng and said with some dissatisfaction: "You kid, didn't we say that we wouldn't let you say the opposite?"

Why are you still talking back here? ”

Han Cheng was a little aggrieved: "I didn't say anything back!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "Haven't said anything against you yet?"

Then tell us, why did Xichang kill too much?

Let's see, it's good to kill!

Do we still think it's lighter to kill?

Seeing the methods used by Shenshen, is it too much to kill?

It's already very merciful, okay!

As far as the virtues of those officials in his court are concerned, in our Hongwu Dynasty, we will cut them in half! ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, Han Cheng was speechless.

Those actions of the West Factory, for others, may really be too heavy to kill.

But now, what he is facing is Boss Zhu, who is cutting officials like cutting leeks, and is unrelenting.

Those operations in the West Factory are really not counted here in Zhu Yuanzhang.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's cognition, there are many people who want to be officials.

If one group doesn't work, kill another group, and replace the next group of people to do it.

Under the big waves and sand, some good officials can be selected after all.

He wasn't used to these officials.

He, Zhu Yuanzhang, doesn't raise officials who eat idle meals!

Originally, Han Cheng still wanted to tell Zhu Yuanzhang how the West Factory killed too much, but after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, he suddenly couldn't open his mouth.

As it stands, it's a no-brainer.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, he will only dislike Zhu Jianshen for not killing hard enough.

said two things about the mistakes of Emperor Zhu Jianshen of Chenghua one after another, but Lao Zhu had this attitude,

This made Han Cheng a little reluctant to continue.

"Say, you can talk to us again, our good children and grandchildren are profound, what else is wrong with it?

What are the most heinous sins. ”

But he didn't want to say it, but Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know more.

He looked at Han Cheng and said, he had a posture that he had to have a good fight with Han Cheng and sort out these things.

Han Cheng had no choice but to say: "In addition to these, another big mistake is to open the precedent of the imperial village and let the royal family take the lead in land annexation." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard this.

"Why do we think, according to his deep temperament, he shouldn't do this?

Tell us more about it, what is the situation? ”

Han Chengdao: "After disposing of the eunuch Cao Jixiang, Zhu Jianshen copied Banqiao Village, Anleli, Shunyi County, and turned it into a village in the palace.

There is another Huangzhuang added in the back, which is a place in the Zhuangtian of Wangfuying in Zengbaodi County.

It was originally a grassland for the Huizhou Guard. ”

"What do we think it's a big deal!"

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We thought it was him who was engaged in Huangzhuang on a large scale, but it turned out that he only made part of the land of the two prisoners into Huangzhuang."

In the whole Chenghua year, these two imperial villages were made, which is not much! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang has a lot of preferences in Zhu Jianshen's body.

Han Cheng was about to speak, but Zhu Biao on the side spoke! "Father, it seems that this matter is really not serious at this time.

There are indeed not many Huangzhuang.

But. But it played a very bad lead.

The opening of the Huangzhuang can't be opened!

This matter is deeply measured, but after this opening is opened, I am afraid that some emperors in later generations will not have his kind of proportion.

Zhu Jianshen's harm in this matter is not in his Chenghua Dynasty, but in the rest of the dynasties after the Ming Dynasty. ”

When Han Cheng heard this, he gave Zhu Biao a thumbs up.

Zhu Biao's view on this is still very good.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, nodded his head, and expressed his agreement with Zhu Biao's view.

"Anything else?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked.

Han Cheng shook his head and said, "No, generally speaking, when it comes to Zhu Jianshen's sins, these three are the biggest." ”

Gone?

That's gone?!!

Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Biao, they couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the words.

This is different from what they imagined!

When asked what Zhu Jianshen had done wrong, Han Chengdu was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak.

In their opinion, Zhu Jianshen must have done something heinous.

Otherwise, Han Cheng would definitely not react like that.

Why is it that only three of them are gone now?

Moreover, two of these three are still doing very well in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, and they are not fault at all.

"Are you sure you're not lying to us?"

Han Cheng said helplessly: "Your Majesty, what am I lying to you for?" It's really gone! At least not too serious. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled when he heard this: "Then why are you like that when we asked you just now?"

I was stunned for a long time before I spoke, there is something in this! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said as he landed his eyes on Han Cheng's body, paying attention to Han Cheng's reaction.

But he wanted to see how Han Cheng would give him a reasonable explanation next......
