Zhang Juzheng raised his hand and said yes.
But Zhao Zhenji felt quite a bit after hearing Zhu Yijun's words: "Don't use people you doubt, but don't doubt people you employ."
The Ming Dynasty was not a later generation and did not have developed and convenient monitoring and communication technology.
Therefore, managing a large empire with a population of hundreds of millions requires mutual trust between the king and all civil servants to accomplish anything.
Because just like the emperor faces hundreds of officials in the court alone; a local official, especially an official at the state and county level, also faces the subordinate officials and gentry below.
Therefore, if the top rulers do not trust them, it will be difficult for them to fight for the court against cunning subordinates and powerful nobles and gentry.
It can be said that if the Ming Empire wanted to achieve success, it required the cooperation of all civil servants, as well as the cooperation of the monarch and his ministers.
This is also the reason why people in this era choose to govern the country with morality.
The emperor needs to hire people with recognized high moral standards, so that he has enough trust in the moral standards of the people he employs, and then the civil servants also recognize each other because they recognize each other's moral standards.
Of course, this is just an ideal model.
Many times, the sense of moral trust between the king and his ministers, and between his ministers and his ministers, or even between his ministers and his ministers, is not that strong.
In any case, Zhu Yijun's words at this time let Zhao Zhenji know that the emperor trusted the moral standards of these cabinet ministers and nine ministers.
This moved Zhao Zhenji and secretly admired Zhang Juzheng for teaching the emperor well, knowing how to govern with virtue, and knowing that only by trusting the moral standards of ministers and ministers can the country be governed well.
As a loyal person to the country, Zhao Zhenji naturally wanted to reciprocate the favor and did not want to live up to the emperor's trust in him, so he said: "In that case, Your Majesty, I have something to add."
"speak!"
Zhu Yijun said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Zhenji said: "Since Your Majesty trusts me and other cabinet ministers, I will boldly request that one or two cabinet ministers be selected to inspect the world's new policies and check for leaks and fill in the gaps, so that the rulers can better fulfill your Majesty's trust and be more beneficial to the government." The common people of Sheji!"
"After all, although His Majesty is willing to trust his ministers to govern impartially, in fact, they are not sure that the local officials he trusts and recommends can act without any care at all and not only for merit."
"Those who govern as assistant ministers should not just have opinions, but should dare to take responsibility and be able to clean up the aftermath of the policies they carry out, so that the people they use and recommend can fulfill their duties."
Zhu Yijun nodded.
Although he felt that Zhao Zhenji's proposal was reasonable, he also knew that it would be wise to listen and show his attitude as a wise king, so he looked at the others: "Sir, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, what Mr. Zhao Ge said is indeed quite comprehensive. In this way, in the future, even if something happens, your Majesty can just blame the ministers and ministers without having to disturb the officials in the court."
"It's just that there is Governor Hai Gong in Nanzhi, so there is no need to send any more senior officials. After all, the late emperor recognized Hai Gong's uprightness and integrity. Even Shimiao had to leave his life in the edict and leave a loyal and upright minister for his descendants. ;"
"Therefore, I believe that only Beizhi may send another cabinet minister to inspect and inspect, so as to avoid ineffective care and support and dare not confront the powerful people of Beizhi."
Zhang Juzheng replied.
At this time, Lu Tiaoyang and others also stood up: "I second my opinion."
Zhu Yijun nodded: "Then it will be played!"
"Your Majesty! I volunteered to go out to Beijing to inspect the new policies."
Zhang Siwei then recommended himself.
When Zhao Zhenji saw this, he immediately objected: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for Mr. Zhang Ge to go out of Beijing to inspect the various prefectures in Beizhi. Zhang Ge is a senior official from the north, and many of his relatives, disciples and old friends are in Beizhi. I am worried about Zhang Ge. When the elders go out to inspect the capital, they either support the local wealthy people and hinder the officials from clearing their land; or they seek merit, deliberately proving that the northern gentry is more loyal to the emperor and considerate of the court, and strictly urge the officials to clear their land, and even ask the officials to add new fields in order to gain credit!"
Zhang Siwei glanced at Zhao Zhenji and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty! I have no such intention!"
"His Majesty!"
Without waiting for Zhang Siwei to continue, Zhao Zhenji directly interjected: "Although I am suspected of judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, in my humble opinion, it is more appropriate for me to inspect Beizhi!"
"Because I am a native of Shu, far away from the capital, and have no relatives or friends in Beizhi, so naturally I will not protect my hometown;"
"In addition, this way I will not be trusted by Mr. Zhang Ge. Mr. Zhang Ge will definitely use his contacts with relatives and friends to supervise whether the inspection is not done well and even deliberately seek credit during the inspection. He will also strictly urge the officials to report more acres of land." !”
After Zhu Yijun heard what Zhao Zhenji said, he nodded and looked at Zhang Siwei: "What did Zhang Qing want to say just now?"
"I have nothing to say! Mr. Zhao Ge is more thoughtful and can be said to be an expert in planning for the country!"
Zhang Siwei knew that the emperor was precocious, so naturally he would not tell lies in front of Zhu Yijun, so he could only seek truth from facts, and to make Zhu Yijun believe that he was magnanimous, magnanimous and selfless, he directly admitted that what Zhao Zhenji said was reasonable and pertinent. People praised Zhao Zhenji.
Of course, as mentioned before, although civil servants should trust each other's moral standards, this is only an ideal state.
In fact, it is difficult for civil servants to trust each other's moral standards.
Moreover, there were many cases of calling each other traitors and traitors.
Zhao Zhenji made it clear that he did not believe in Zhang Siwei's moral level.
Even after Zhu Yijun said that he believed in his ministers and ministers, Zhao Zhenji decisively proposed the situation because he felt that he could not live up to his majesty's trust and should come up with a perfect plan for his majesty to guard against immoral villains secretly causing trouble. The proposal to let cabinet ministers go out to Beijing for inspections came.
In Zhao Zhenji's view, the emperor could be a wise king in the prosperous times without doubting his ministers, but his ministers would naturally have to doubt and supervise on his behalf.
At this time, after Zhang Siwei said this, Zhu Yijun also asked others: "Except Mr. Zhang, the assistant of Yuan Dynasty, who cannot leave the capital and needs to assist me, are there any ministers who recommend themselves or recommend others?"
"I have no objections, and I respectfully request His Majesty's sanction."
Lu Tiaoyang and others did not dare to compete with Zhao Zhenji for this job.
Mainly because I was afraid of being criticized by Zhao Zhenji.
Seeing this, Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "In that case, just as Zhao Qing said, I drafted an order for Zhao Qing to go out to the capital to inspect the various prefectures in Beizhi, check for leaks and fill in the vacancies, make decisions on small matters, and report on big matters!"
"I obey the decree!"
Zhao Zhenji immediately bowed and replied.
"Let's break up!"
Zhu Yijun then stood up and said something.
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Zhao Zhenji hurried out of the Qianqing Palace first, with a look of joy on his face.
But after Zhang Siwei came out, he cast a cold look at Zhao Zhenji's back and pursed his lips.
Zhang Juzheng noticed Zhang Siwei's expression and came over to comfort him: "Meng Jing did go too far just now, but we are ministers in the same palace and in the same cabinet, so it is fate that we can be tit-for-tat. What do you think, Ziwei?"
"That's what my uncle said."
Zhang Siwei replied, saying: "He was the first person to join the cabinet, and he was in the same cabinet as Shu Da during the late emperor's reign. I never dared to treat him lightly, but Zhao Mengjing is mean! If I don't want to betray your trust, Uncle Da, , I would rather resign from my post to fulfill my filial piety and retreat from the place where Zhao Mengjing has three homes!"
"Ziwei is indeed a magnanimous man, please bear with us for the sake of the country."
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.
Zhang Siwei nodded and left with Zhang Juzheng.
Zhu Yijun was outside the palace at this time and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it was not in vain to revive Zhao Mengjing!"
