Chapter 0017: The Unified Cognition of the Six Books of Shangshu
"Lord Yan, now that the charter has not been decided, it is too early to say that this matter of screening personnel. What I just said is just a simple idea, and there are huge gaps, Lord Yan should not be in a hurry. ”
Zhan Hui gave full play to the wisdom of the three non-sticks, and left this matter aside in a few words, and now the charter must be established, but it is still that sentence, how to stand, how to stand, how to make His Majesty satisfied, and effective, not a conclusion can be reached in a while.
When he achieves this position, he is almost the ultimate of a minister, and he wants to go further, unless he transforms into a general. Therefore, there is no need to rush to grab this credit, if you can not take the blame, it will be a blessing, and besides, the shortcomings of the four auxiliary officials system, several people present are not unclear, and it is obviously impossible to rely on the structure of the four auxiliary officials to establish a new system.
Several people present were all familiar customers in the officialdom, and they knew that the shortcomings of the four auxiliary official system were not due to the ability of the courtiers, but to the problems of their own institutional structure. The four officials in spring, summer, autumn and winter take turns to assist in handling government affairs, which seems to be very good, but it is difficult to continue with each other, and there is no effective connection in work.
It's like a horse-drawn carriage, just a day's journey, and no less than six horsemen have to be changed on the way.
The person sitting in the carriage, one second was still saying that he was going to buy a scallion pancake, and the next second the groom was replaced, and the new groom didn't know that you were going to eat scallion pancake, so he didn't stay, he drove over directly, and when you reacted, he had to turn back, which wasted time and energy, which was quite annoying.
If this happens occasionally, then it will be fine, but every time you change the groom, you must make a mistake, which is simply not a burden reduction, but a toss.
Needless to say, the rest of the small flaws are just like the four auxiliary officials, the problem of language barrier is also more serious, and the many dialects in the land of China make communication more difficult, even if there is an official dialect, but the accent has always been a difficult thing to solve.
After being silent for a while, Yang Jing spoke again and said, "The fourth auxiliary officer does have mistakes and omissions, but its core essence can be taken out separately to make a style. It's like the four auxiliary officials have no real power, only the right to make suggestions, whether this suggestion is useful or not, you have to wait for His Majesty's holy judgment, this point can be used, what do you think? ”
"Lord Yang is right, brainstorming, as the saying goes, there are three stinkers, and one Zhuge Liang is the top. Although we are not as good as His Majesty's Shengming Shenwu, the suggestions put forward can always be inspired, and besides, there are many courts, and it is also a good policy for Your Majesty to decide whether it is feasible to write suggestions as a courtier. ”
As soon as Ren Hengtai said this, the rest of the people's eyes lit up, this method is indeed possible, even Zhu Di nodded frequently.
Zhu Di naturally knows his father's thoughts, and he knows whose power is strengthened by abolishing the prime minister. This kind of instant benefit, he will never give it up, but it is also a problem that it is difficult to deal with the large number of government affairs, and Ren Hengtai's words gave him a lot of inspiration.
"Lord Ren and Lord Yang have very good ideas, you can imagine according to this idea, you can know everything, everything is said, everything is undertaken by this palace."
Seeing Zhu Di nodding in agreement, the direction of the others suddenly became clear, and with the direction, all that was left was the specific system construction.
Don't underestimate the establishment of this direction, if there is no Zhu Di's consent, the six Shangshu will never dwell on this idea, and will quickly discuss the next set of ideas, which will be accompanied by quarrels. Now that Zhu Di has set the direction for his end, coupled with his endorsement in the back, these foxes naturally dare to dig deeper.
Zhan Hui finally took off his hat and said: "According to the minister's humble opinion, the courtiers who assist in handling government affairs cannot have any actual power, otherwise it will be similar to the prime minister system. As for the size of the official position, since there is no real power, there is no need to talk about any official position, His Majesty can come as soon as he recruits him, and he can leave as soon as he is gone. ”
Yang Jing objected to this, he shook his head and said: "Lord Zhan's words are fallacious, if you don't set up a specific official position, then it will be idle and difficult to stand, and it is inevitable to be negligent in doing things." There is no real power under the recognition, but the system that should still be there must be, otherwise what does this help help? ”
"Lord Yang is not confused, if an official position is established, then how can there be no real power, even if there is no real power now, then who can guarantee that there will be no real power in the future? People's minds have changed, is it difficult for Lord Yang to only look at the present, not at the future of the Ming Dynasty? ”
Yang Jing's brows furrowed slightly, he thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "This matter is indeed my negligence, but it is not customized, who can guarantee that it will continue in the future?" If it can't be continued, it is only for a temporary use, and in case there are traitors who make a rebellion in the future, it is inevitable that there will be more articles of association with clever names in the future. ”
Yan Zhen opened his mouth and said: "In this case, what's the matter with a custom, there is no official position in it, it is enough to have an existing official concurrently, and the number of personnel is determined by His Majesty alone, so that what the two adults just said can be avoided." ”
"No." Zhan Hui shook his head and said: "If you really want to do this, it is inevitable that the responsibilities will be mixed, and there are already officials who are concurrently serving in it, and it is inevitable that there will be differences between relatives and relatives, just like Lord Yan, if you are selected, will it be possible that you will be closer to the officials?" ”
Yan Zhenzhi didn't like it, and said coldly: "Why did Lord Zhan say this, it is all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and the six departments share weal and woe, where do they come from, since they are doing things for Your Majesty, we should do our best, how dare we abolish the public for personal reasons." ”
"Lord Yan, don't worry, I'm just making an analogy, the meaning of the words is not like this, you and I are both His Majesty's courtiers, and we naturally act for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. However, it is inevitable that dealing with government affairs is not idle, and even if you only have the right to assist in handling it, it will vary from person to person and have their own opinions. ”
Zhan Hui said the difficulty, and when the others heard it, they felt that it was reasonable, but the matter became a difficult point and difficult to solve.
"You don't have to worry about these details first, the general rules and regulations are finalized first, and then you can discuss them slowly."
Zhu Di mediated in the middle, acting as a peacemaker, he pondered the remarks of several people, and he also had some ideas, but he still waited for the discussion to be completed, and then discussed with his father, if his father did not agree, no matter how he felt perfect here, it would be useless.
Now that a few people have discussed it, there is only one thing that can be determined, that is, there is no real power, and the six courtiers are also afraid of touching their father's scales, so they put this in the first place. After all, if this courtier who assists in handling government affairs has real power, it will naturally be no different from the former prime minister, and the six Shangshu are not so stupid, and they will send their heads to their father.
It's just that this alone is not enough, the institutional system is still in the air, and it is still too early to talk about those side details, what is the foundation of the world, Zhu Di urgently needs talents who share government affairs for himself.
He is not very good at handling government affairs, this afternoon after a series of disposals, I don't know how many brain cells died, and now seeing that the six books are still arguing about these, he opened his mouth and urged: "Your Excellency, you can speed up the progress, if there is no specific charter, I will not let you go back today." ”
