Too much to worry about, too much to worry about!

After reading a few books, I finally understood why Zhu Youzhen was angry!

Seeing the table full of books, Wang Li was also a little scared!

Even, I have a little mercy for Zhu Youzhen!

During this time, there was no news of the thieves' rebellion, but Zhu Youzhen had an easy time!

The letters sent by officials from all over the country were either to impeach Wang Li and Wei Zhongxian, or to insult Zhu Youzhen!

Anyway, none of them are doing their jobs!

The only thing to do is to ask for relief money!

Facing these recitals all day long, it's no wonder that normal people don't go crazy!

When it comes to disaster relief, Wang Li is also speechless!

The northwestern provinces have indeed suffered disasters, but south of the Yangtze River, there is a fart disaster?

Zhu Youzhen had already discovered that something was wrong, and secretly sent the celebrant eunuch to inspect, and sent the local governor back to Beijing to confront him!

This confrontation can make Zhu Youzhen half angry!

A little water overflows from the river, which can be said to be "the river bursting its banks";

After a period of thunderstorms, it can be said that "torrential rains, serious floods, countless grain fields and people's dwellings were destroyed";

If the sky is clear for several days in a row, it will become "several months of drought and widespread grain failure";

Are these guys still human?

For a little disaster relief money and food, dare to say anything!

In Zhu Youzhen's eyes, there is no room for sand!

The most unacceptable thing is the deception of the DPRK and the central government and local officials!

I couldn't bear it anymore, and decisively dealt with a group of officials who made false reports and concealed them!

However, the newly appointed officials not only did not restrain themselves, but the practice of false reporting and concealment became even worse!

The eunuchs of the celebrant eunuchs, after all, have a limited number of people, and it is impossible to send them to all the states and governments of the country to inspect!

Whether it was affected or not, and what the real disaster was, it was difficult for Zhu Youzhen to verify, and he had no clue!

Look at Zhu Youzhen's white hair, Wang Li is helpless and pitiful!

With such a courtier, even if he doesn't go to the coal mountain, it is estimated that he will not live for a few more years!

Of course, those courtiers are all petty fights!

Compared to themselves, they don't even have the qualifications to carry shoes!

However, then again, although I am also deceiving myself, I have done some practical things!

At least, he killed Gao Yingxiang and let him live a few days of leisure;

At the very least, he annihilated Azig's troops and made him proud in front of the courtiers;

At least, he was given a million taels of silver every year, and he didn't stare at his little coffers;

At least, I solved his problems and didn't cause him trouble!

In such a comparison, the garbage in the court and the place is really not a thing!

The most hateful thing is that they take the money and don't do anything!

Isn't that a broken rule?

Compared to them, they are really nobler than them!

Anyway, Wang Li thinks so!

"Long live the lord, the spies in Liaodong have reported that the 120,000 banner soldiers have attacked the dynasty and have arrived near Dandong!"

Zhu Youzhen's brows tightened, and Wang Li continued: "The little slave once said that with the current strength of my Ming Dynasty, I can't fight with the Eight Banners!"

However, if you can seize the opportunity, if you command properly, the plan of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" may still be successful!

If God blesses it, it can also weaken Huang Taiji's strength! ”

Wang Li did not say it explicitly, but showed his intention to ask for war.

Zhu Youzhen was a little relieved, and breathed a sigh of relief: "The position of the governor is broken, and only the factory can be competent!"

However, the composition of the Guan Ning army is complex, and only by getting the approval of all the courtiers, especially Wei Zhongxian, can there be a chance of winning! ”

"That'...... Banzai means ......"

"You can prepare first, and after tomorrow's palace meeting, I will issue an edict to go on the expedition!"

Zhu Youzhen can say such things, which shows that his way of handling things has matured a lot!

Wang Li did not object to this.

He was about to leave, but he was called back.

"Factory father, your West Factory...... The amount of information I receive every day should be no less than my book!

What I want to know is, what do you do with that information? ”

"This ...... Playing the book...... In fact, it can be regarded as intelligence, and there must be no mistakes......"

Wang Li replied casually, cautiously in his words, and did not transgress at all.

Looking at the words and looks, it shows that Zhu Youjian is extremely tired!

It can be seen that he wants to be like Emperor Wanli and wants to pick a son, but he doesn't dare, for fear of being scolded!

On weekdays, the books sent to Jingshi every day range from dozens to hundreds!

During this period, with the issuance of the edict of "comprehensively raising the salary of employees", the recital of opposition and abuse flew like snowflakes!

There are so many that they can't be dismantled!

The eunuchs of the celebrant will first "filter" it, put the "most important" recital in front, and wait until Zhu Youzhen reviews it, and then help stamp the seal, that's all!

In other words, all the books will eventually be sent to Zhu Youjian!

Reading such a book every day, you can get sick without getting sick!

However, "let the celebrant or the cabinet help to review the recital", in this case, Wang Li did not dare to say it!

After all, the review of the recital is a symbol of imperial power!

Zhu Youzhen, who is diligent in government affairs, will not hand over this power to the eunuchs or the cabinet, he is not at ease!

In that case, then ......

"Long live the lord, in fact, there are often a lot of invalid books, which are not worth reading at all! It is this kind of recital that wastes a lot of time from the Lord Banzai and the celebrant priest! ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, with a slight look of vigilance, Wang Li was keenly aware of it!

However, Wang Li's words changed: "If officials at all levels do their best and have fewer invalid books, Long Live Lord will definitely be much easier!" ”

"Not bad, not bad!" Zhu Youzhen said yes, he was not satisfied, rubbed his temples, and said weakly: "However, this can only be an extravagant hope!" ”

"Uh...... In fact, with a little subterfuge, this is not an extravagant hope! ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhen instantly came to his senses, and looked up at Wang Li: "Dare to ask the factory father, what can be done?" ”

Wang Li smiled slightly, and handed over the recital he had just read: "Long live Lord, such an insulting and insulting recital should not be presented at all!" ”

"It's hard, it's hard!" Zhu Youzhen smiled wryly, casually threw the book aside, and sighed.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny!

Because, most of these recitals come from the imperial envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or from the six departments.

These people are the unique "speech officials" of the Ming Dynasty!

They are not of high rank, but their political power is not small!

This is because at the beginning of the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the speech officials a wide range of important powers - admonishing the emperor, leaving and right the way of speech, impeaching hundreds of officials, inspecting places, and so on!

In a sense, they are somewhat similar to the "factory guards", from the imperial court to the local yamen at all levels, from the emperor to the hundred officials, from national affairs to civilian life, all within the scope of the supervision and speech of the officials!

Therefore, the unique identity and special powers of the speech official had a great deterrent effect on the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Originally, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's requirements, the speech officials must have lofty moral character and political literacy!

The most basic requirements for a speech official are "to be loyal to the country and forget about one's home, to be loyal and forget oneself", "to be upright and upright, to be straightforward and outspoken", "to be knowledgeable, and to be familiar with the court and all aspects of government affairs";

In other words, the officials are all loyal ministers who are "high-spirited, outspoken, and not afraid of death"!

Since the loyal ministers of Gao Feng Liangjie are admonishing, then it must be the emperor's mistake first, and the emperor has to correct his mistake!

If the emperor corrects his mistakes immediately, then the emperor will become the "Tang Taizong" who humbly accepts advice, and the official will become "Wei Zheng"!

If the emperor is obsessed, contradictions between them will arise!

As soon as the contradiction comes out, the admonition of the speaker will become more and more intense, and even turn into abuse!

The more fierce the scolding, the more it proves that this official is high-spirited!

The more fierce the scolding, the more fearful you are of the loyal ministers!

Just like in the fifteenth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun did not go to court with "occasional slight illness", and Yu Yuren, the left commentator of Dali Temple, published a book of "Four Proverbs of Wine and Wealth", and scolded Zhu Yijun for being a bloody dog!

Zhu Yijun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he didn't execute the disobedient and disrespectful Yu Yuren, but just rewarded him with a board!

Because, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's judging criteria, Yu Yuren is a loyal minister!

A "good emperor" will neither dismiss his loyal ministers, nor kill them!

In the Ming Dynasty in history, in the rule of more than 200 years, countless civil and military officials were imprisoned or beheaded, but few officials were beheaded or imprisoned!

really forced the emperor to be anxious, at most he would be rewarded with a board, and then dismissed and returned to his hometown!

For the speech officer, such a punishment is not painful!

Anyway, a petty official of six or seven grades doesn't have much money every month!

was dismissed by the emperor and returned to his hometown, and he also had a good reputation of "outspoken and rebellious"!

Anyway, it won't kill the head, nothing to fear!

In this way, the officials are becoming more and more unscrupulous!

Emperor Wanli did not go to court for 28 years, just to avoid the insults of the officials; Of course, the cause of these things stems from the "national capital dispute" of the crown prince!

After Wanli, Zhu Changluo only served as the emperor for a month, singing every night, not caring about the insults of the officials;

After Zhu Changluo, Zhu Youxiao was obsessed with carpentry work, and all the insults were blocked by Wei Zhongxian;

The current Zhu Youzhen is diligent in government affairs and has a very good face, and he is even more worried about the evaluation of himself by future generations!

Even if you are scolded and crying, you can only endure it silently!

If the officials no longer play books and are no longer scolded, he will wake up laughing when he falls asleep!

It's a pity that the official system was set by Emperor Taizu, even if it was Zhu Youzhen, he didn't dare to change it easily!

When he was disappointed, Wang Li spoke!

"Long live the imperial court, today's imperial court finances are tight, and the ineffective book is sent to the Beijing Division, wasting a lot of manpower and material resources!

In particular, if the book is unprovoked and abused, or the book that is obviously unreasonable, Long live the Lord can make it public, and then beat the person who played the book, and then dismiss him and return to his hometown!

The little slave believes that as long as a few examples are dealt with, the officials will be reined in! ”

"It's not that simple!"

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

That's right, make the book public!

In fact, the officials are afraid of death, and they all care about their reputation!

If the resources of the court and the local government are wasted, and only a letter of scolding the street for no reason is submitted, the people will not agree!

Don't they care about reputation?

The official who takes this kind of recital is simply a shrew, what good reputation can he leave behind?

Wang Li's words really make some sense!

"Long live the lord, in fact, many books can be made public!

For example, those recitals that oppose the minimum wage for employees, the recitals that insult the mediocrity of the Lord Banzai, the recitals that ask for additional taxes, the recitals that plead for corrupt officials, and so on!

These can be made public on the grounds of "not respecting the saints", "not caring for the people", "being in the company of corrupt officials", and so on!

In particular, the official who wrote in his hometown was made public, so that he lost face!

Then, reward them with a board, beat their butts to bloom, and resolutely dismiss them and return to their hometowns!

In this way, it will be able to deter those mediocre people who are messing around, and the number of invalid books will be greatly reduced! ”

"Factory father, you are really a civil and military all-rounder!" Zhu Youzhen admired it sincerely, looked Wang Li up and down, and actually showed regret on his face:

"It's a pity that you're a eunuch!

Alas!

If you can be the first assistant of the cabinet, I will be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time! ”

"Long live the praise! It is the duty of the little slave to share the worries of the Long Live Lord, and it is an honor! ”

"Good, good, very good!" Zhu Youzhen's face was full of joy, thinking of the military situation in Liaodong, but he was stunned: "Factory Father, it is the end of the year, and the tax and silver in various places have not yet been put into the warehouse, and the arrears of the Guanning Army are ......."

"Long live the rest assured, the military situation in Liaodong is urgent, and the morale of the army must not be shaken by arrears!

According to the understanding of the little slave, the arrears are not much, it seems that there are only about 200,000;

The little slave found a way to raise some silver, and put it on first! ”

"Good, good, good! With the factory sitting in Liaodong, I can sit back and relax! ”

Zhu Youzhen praised repeatedly, but he was scolding his mother in his heart!

This guy should be worth no more than 10 million!

After making so much money and helping me out of 1.8 million, I can't bear it?

Advance? Advance?

You guy, you can say it!

That's it, that's it!

Compared with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, he and Wei Zhongxian are already the most loyal courtiers!

A few days ago, the silk silk he gave to the concubines is estimated to be exchanged for 10,000 taels of silver, which can last until the New Year!

By the way, he also sent 5,000 taels of silver to Queen Zhou and Queen Zhang, so he won't be too worried about the New Year!
