"Get flat."
Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
Wang Guoguang, Zhang Jingxiu and others also stood up.
Zhu Yijun first ordered the three brothers Zhang Jingxiu: "You retreat first, I will make arrangements for you in the future."
The three brothers Zhang Jingxiu bowed their hands and said yes.
After Zhang Jingxiu and others retreated, only Wang Guoguang, still wearing prison clothes, stood in front of Zhu Yijun.
Seeing this, Zhu Yijun ordered Wang Guoguang to sit down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Wang Guoguang sat down, Zhu Yijun pointed to a corner of the royal eucalyptus and said, "Have you seen those chapters?"
Wang Guoguang nodded: "Back to Your Majesty, the guilty ministers have seen them, many of them!"
"That's right, there are a lot of them, several times more than before. They are all Kedao's words and deeds written in ink."
Zhu Yijun started talking.
Wang Guoguang looked at Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, do you want to say that the biggest dilemma at the moment is that the restructuring has stalled and there is no one in the whole dynasty who can suppress Kedao and coordinate the arrangements?"
】
Zhu Yijun did not speak immediately.
He just stood up, walked to the palace door, glanced at the snow particles that had begun to fall sparsely outside, then closed the palace door, walked back towards Wang Guoguang and said:
"Shou Kui intends to make me and all the officials hate the system that Mr. Xi has changed. The other ministers also intend to wait and see. At this time, the cold wind outside seems to blow out the fires in the palace in the next moment, making it feel like winter. A little more intense.”
"But I just want to add more fuel to the fire."
"I don't want the fire of reform to go out. I even want someone to use a poker to pierce it, lest the firewood added before would become airtight and the fire wouldn't be strong enough!"
Zhu Yijun said, and ordered the eunuch to move the fire to Wang Guoguang's side.
Wang Guoguang, whose face was flushed by the fire, looked at Zhu Yijun's back and said:
"What His Majesty said is that there are indeed many new policies to be done at the moment."
"First of all, North Korea has only stationed troops for a few years. Should we use North Korea's tariffs as collateral to build an official road from Uiju to Busan? And how to formulate specific policies during the Japanese enlightenment period, how to distribute the land there, and how to distribute minerals; These have not been decided yet.”
"As well as the issue of the consolation envoys and guard posts of the various vassals in Nanyang that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and were destroyed by the invasion of the Western Barbarians."
"In addition, the trade system has not yet been established. Whether it is the navy or private merchant ships, they are now both merchants and pirates. Military merchants and pirates are indistinguishable. There is also the issue of dealing with armed merchant ships from foreign barbarians. Should they be allowed to come? The Ming Dynasty carried out trade everywhere, but still treated them as bandits and eliminated them."
"It can even be said that since the late emperor opened the sea, there has not been a clear definition of legal trade and illegal trade. There is also no clear conclusion on whether foreign barbarian ships are regarded as merchants or bandits."
"Furthermore, it has not yet been decided whether there will be any changes to the central examination system and the civil service system."
"When the Grand Master is in charge of the country, you can rely on the Grand Master to personally control and sort out daily government affairs!"
"But now that the Grand Master has passed away and His Majesty is in charge, it is estimated that the new assistant ministers will not have the mental capacity of the Grand Master to take charge of the government affairs for His Majesty. In this case, different requirements will be imposed on the internal and external examinations."
"For example, the examination results of local officials during the period of enlightenment should be more lenient, so as to prevent them from being even more reluctant to go to sea to serve as officials; and the officials in Beijing should be more strict, so as to prevent them from pretending to be powerful by virtue of their proximity to the emperor."
"Especially for science and education, a more standardized evaluation system must be formed for what they say and do, so as to prevent them from disrupting the government with their words instead of using their words to review the common government!"
"besides!"
"Since the Ming Dynasty not only wanted to send imperial power to the countryside internally to benefit the people and establish religion; externally it also wanted to Hanize the barbarians and plow the courts and hoe the bandits; it also wanted to control trade, control the circulation of silver coins, and activate the market, then it was necessary to increase the number of bureaucrats to This is to alleviate the situation where strict examinations lead to excessive burdens on individual bureaucrats.”
"If there are six parts, they need to be split!"
"When additional ministries and divisions are established, it is even better to have several more ministers and ministers in one ministry."
"At the same time, we will increase the number of Jinshi candidates and schools to cultivate talents."
"In addition, the restructuring of the clan is also imminent. Distant clan clans should be allowed to become officials, and even close clan clans should have some restrictions removed."
"After all, the imperial court cannot allow him to annex fields, do business and make profits, let alone work as an official."
"The current new policy only restricts them from breaking the law and from merging fields, but it does not solve their situation of having nothing to do because of too many restrictions. If this continues, it is inevitable that clans with deep grievances will take risks."
"Whether it is increasing the number of Jinshi candidates or easing restrictions on clans, it will alleviate the dissatisfaction of the carnivores around the world with the New Deal."
After Wang Guoguang said that, he said: "But the Grand Master has been old for several months. Although the New Deal has not been abolished, there has been no new policy."
"The central government, which does nothing, is instead using officials who are afraid of chaos in the world to aggravate the dissatisfaction of the powerful officials of the world's sects and vassals with the New Deal."
"If at this time, a responsible leader stands up, does not abolish the New Deal but adjusts the parts that are too strict in the New Deal, and adjusts the yin and yang, the New Deal will naturally be praised by everyone as good, and ZTE can be expected."
"What you mentioned has been mentioned by Fang Fengshi, Zhang Xueyan, Liang Menglong, Zeng Xingwu, Hai Rui, Wang Xijue, and Wang Zongzai. They are all waiting to carry forward the past and spread their virtues throughout the world."
"However, we still need a responsible leader to take charge of the central government."
Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Guoguang said: "Your Majesty is Holy Ming!"
"However, the guilty minister is not a member of the Hanlin elite, and it is difficult to be respected among the scholars. Being able to become a cabinet minister is to benefit from the New Deal. If he is the first in the world, it will arouse the rebellious heart of the elite civil servants. What is needed now is, A minister who can be accepted by both the Qing Dynasty and the common people is here to clean up the aftermath, and the guilty minister is naturally not suitable. What's more, there is a shortage of professionals in the world. The guilty minister wants to ask your majesty to show mercy. The guilty minister can get a teaching position. Cultivate talents to supervise trade, money and law for the country."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun pondered for a while, and then nodded: "That's okay! In that case, you'd better go back to the prison."
Wang Guoguang said yes.
Zhu Yijun asked again: "I heard that you wrote a lot of experience in making money and controlling money and food while in prison?"
"Your Majesty, I am indeed writing this so that it can be used when I have the opportunity to teach others in the future."
Wang Guoguang replied.
Zhu Yijun nodded, then said nothing more and just returned to Nuange.
Wang Guoguang retreated, but not long after he walked out of the palace, an eunuch ran out and handed him two stacks of books: "Your Majesty ordered me to give them to you, so I can write them for reference."
Wang Guoguang took it and saw that the two stacks of books were titled "Macroeconomics" and "Microeconomics" respectively.
For a moment, Wang Guoguang couldn't help but froze in the snow for a moment.
"Bring up the warm sedan chair! Send the prince back!"
At this time, the eunuch said something more and said to Wang Guoguang: "It's cold, the emperor has given me a sedan chair to go back to the imperial prison."
After hearing this, Wang Guoguang couldn't help but turn around and kowtow to the ground.
Zhu Yijun moved the memorials related to the impeachment of reformist officials that he had ordered the Chief of Ceremonies to screen to the fireside and read them carefully.
"The impeachment of Wang Zongzai, the imperial censor of Zuoqiandu in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, falsely accused Liu Tai, and he was willing to accept the power to eunuch Feng Bao as his godfather. However, he relied on his own personal power and attached power to murder Zhongliang. The law should be discussed first."
"The impeachment party met Zhang Jiayin and Ma Gui, the border ministers at the right time, and made them the governor of Jiliao and the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu."
"Impeaching Yang Zhao once gave Feng Baoyin 60,000 taels and colluded with him to seek promotion."
"The impeachment of Zeng Shengwu and the eunuch Feng Bao have evil intentions."
…
Zhu Yijun's expression gradually darkened as he read these memorials.
These people were all capable officers in implementing the New Deal in the first ten years of Wanli.
For example, when Wang Zongzai was the governor of Jiangxi, he exposed the fact that the wealthy gentry and local bureaucrats took advantage of the opportunity of the Qing Dynasty to impose all their land on the common people. He even participated in the impeachment of several soldiers, soldiers and branch officials who were colluding with the wealthy gentry at that time. Xundao, despite the complaints of offending the Jiangxi officials and gentry, overturned the original result of the abbot's abbotship and forcibly re-abdicated the abbot. Only then did the abbot really realize Su Xiaomin's difficulties. Now he is described by these officials as a traitor who has done all kinds of evil. generation.
And Fang Fengshi was also impeached for making friends with border officials and taking advantage of the situation.
Historically, he was praised as a "skilled general and good at managing border areas", "diligence in his duties, and many outstanding achievements". He was also praised for recommending Liu Xian to lead an expedition with 140,000 officers and soldiers, and "conquered more than 60 villages and captured and killed 4,600 people." Zeng Shengwu, who expanded the land for more than 400 miles and obtained "Zhuge Bronze Drum Ninety-three", is also said to be a comrade of Feng Bao who has been deceased for many years.
Zhu Yijun had to admit that Xu Jie was right. If he really wanted to govern the country purely in accordance with the imperial guidelines and national laws, there would really be no one available.
And these opposition bureaucrats who intend to abolish the New Deal and prevent themselves from adhering to Zhang Juzheng's line are also taking advantage of this to frantically expose evidence of the crimes of reformist officials, and put themselves, the emperor who has shown that he wants to work hard, into the dilemma of whether to enforce the law impartially. territory.
