The occupation of the Beijing army was a major malpractice during the Hongzhi period, but it actually did not start with Hongzhi or Li Guang. Such things happened as early as the Chenghua period, but Hongzhi did go too far in terms of frequency and scale. , so that desertions began to occur. This was the capital, not an army in a remote place.
Some supervisory censors in the court and Liu Daxia and others had already raised this issue with the emperor.
But the emperor couldn't hold back the Zhang family and begged for mercy.
Emperor Hongzhi also criticized and educated Shouning Bo, Jianchang Bo and others, but it was useless to just talk!
Now it's fine, the prince showed signs of solving this problem.
Several ministers are also smart people. We must seize this opportunity. Isn't it just to express our stance on this matter? Officials from the DPRK and China have stated countless times that there is nothing to fear, and this matter is inherently beneficial to the country.
Originally, why should the soldiers who wanted to fight for the imperial court build houses for the Zhang family?
As for offending the Zhang family, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were not afraid of these relatives... If you do it harshly, we will make your relatives disrupt the government and see who can mess with whom.
"Your Highness!" Tu Fu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, saw that there were only advantages and no disadvantages, and immediately stepped forward, "Wei Chen believes that the capital is the foundation of the world, and the capital camp is the foundation of the capital, and the capital camp is the foundation of the capital. How can soldiers be used as coolies without training? Wei Chen heard that there are more than 15,000 military buildings in the two camps of "Tangzhong" and "Xiaoyi" in the Beijing camp. They were originally intended for the officers and soldiers to live in when they were dispatched for training, but recently, It has not been used in ten years, and the number of sergeants running away is increasing. Therefore, the minister supports His Highness to end the occupation of the Beijing army and re-select the bravery for training! "
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
…
After Tu Yu finished speaking, the other ministers who reacted slightly slower also understood what His Highness meant.
Speaking of which,
This is what the civil servants want to do. Now that the prince is willing to operate on Uncle Jianchang and Uncle Shouning, they are welcoming him.
For Zhu Houzhao,
During the Zuo Shunmen Incident, civil servants were his enemies. But after this incident, the situation changed again, and the civil servants became his friends. Then we must unite them.
In fact, there is no such thing as being a friend or not.
The main thing is to understand what your purpose is.
Then unite all the forces that can be united. People who grew up under the red flag still understand this.
"Where are the three pavilion elders?"
"I still remember that His Highness said that Dayan Khan was so ambitious that he would definitely attack the Ming Dynasty again in the future. In this case, it is even more important to resume training in the capital camp to maintain the vigor of the army in anticipation of changes in the future."
Liu, Li, and Xie all said so.
Zhu Houzhao calmed down and turned to ask Liu Jin, "When can Wang Yue arrive in Beijing?"
"Your Majesty, it only takes two or three days."
"Okay. After Wang Yue returns to Beijing, the cabinet will meet with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment to come up with a specific and implementable method. I don't want general language in a few sentences, but be specific, and the content should cover everything. : What is the current situation, how it will be rectified, how it is planned to be rectified, how long it is expected to take, how much money, what difficulties may be encountered, who wants to stop it, how they will probably stop it, and the rest if you think it is key. Supplement them together.”….
Zhu Houzhao's style is a bit like the rhythm of work in his previous life. He doesn't know whether this group of people can adapt to it, but he is the prince, and what he makes is not suggestions, but requests.
Can't do it?
Think of ways to!
Otherwise, they will be too busy and write me memorials every day to demonstrate how high the moral standards of this prince must be in order for the country to be good. How can that be done?
Liu Jian and others naturally felt a lot of pressure when they heard the prince's request.
There is a huge difference between working for the prince and working for the emperor.
Emperor Hongzhi often said that if his ministers reported something or made some suggestions, it would usually be good, and you would handle it. Most of them are routine matters.
But the prince's request for the reorganization of the army is not only new, but also very new.
, and it’s still very complicated…
Especially don’t say what to do, just mention the goal.
This was also intentional by Zhu Houzhao.
Leadership should only mention the goal and not how to achieve it.
Leadership itself is about employing people, and one of the connotations of employing people is to let them contribute their efforts and use their brains. Otherwise, in so many places across the country, so many people ask Zhu Houzhao what to do, wouldn't he be exhausted?
Of course, there is also a little trick that is not on the table. It’s just that it’s too detailed. I’ll tell you all the steps one, two, three, four, and five. If you follow this, who’s to blame if something goes wrong in the end?
So I’ll just put it bluntly and let you do it.
Well done, well done, you see my leadership is still in the right direction. If you don’t do it well, then I’ll do it to you. I asked you to do it, but did I let you do it blindly?
Of course, this was Zhu Houzhao's past habit, because he also had higher-ups to be responsible for, so he could only follow this method. Now that he is the prince, he can take responsibility himself, and no one dares to hold him accountable.
"I have already focused on the matter of reorganizing the army." Zhu Houzhao reiterated the second point he said before, "Since I have focused on it, I will ask after a while. After practicing for a period of time, I will also ask Go and see. If the effect is not satisfactory, Liu Jian,"
"I'm here."
"I will still look for you then."
People like Liu Jian are not rubbish in modern units, and the cabinet ministers are also very capable. This matter is not too scary. "As long as Uncle Shouning and Uncle Jianchang don't block it, I will definitely restore the Beijing camp to its past." The spirit of it.”
"Okay. As long as your words are enough." Zhu Houzhao spoke hard words for a long time, and also said a few soft words, "But I deal with the matter and not the person, and the same goes for other ministers. By the way, Korean."
This is the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.
"I'm here."
"In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, due to Qi Kuan's embezzlement of ink, there was an outbreak of land grabbing. All prefectures, prefectures, and counties across the country allotted land to the people. I selected a few counties and sent Jin Yiwei to investigate. See Seeing if those fields have been taken over by wealthy households again, it is unacceptable for the court to spend so much effort but achieve no results."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs also wants to give me something. When it comes to dividing the fields, whether the money and food have increased or decreased compared to before. At that time, we will compare the results with the Jin Yiwei. If there are no mistakes, then the people will live and work in peace and contentment. You should feel more at ease in the capital. If something goes wrong... Tu Yu, Xie Qian, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment that you are responsible for will intervene."….
"The Ministry of Punishment wants to investigate what crimes the local officials have committed. The Ministry of Personnel wants to investigate the past evaluations of these officials. If they are excellent, they need to find out how the evaluation department made this comment that day, and whether there was no distinction between public and private matters, secretly The situation of corruption, otherwise wouldn’t the system of imperial examination officials be very random? I know that the task is huge, one step after another, but each step is not difficult, right? "
Wow,
When Han Wen, Tu Yu, and Xie Qian heard this, their foreheads almost exploded.
This is too much workload. If someone does commit a crime, it will be a terrible job.
But Zhu Houzhao doesn't care, he is actually an old farmer working for scalpers now - working for me!
In fact, in the process of working as an officer, in addition to solving solid government issues, each process is also a test of the power chain. Is the chain transmitted smoothly up and down? If you don't go once, how will you know where the blockage is?
Look, Ming Dynasty is a machine with many links rusty. If it happens like this once, they will suffer.
Because the people below will also work against the will and secretly, and they will also want to recruit people to deal with the Minister of Household Affairs. They will conceal, deceive, and frame the blame... all of them. The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance must find a way to get the truth first. Second, solve the problem.
If you are always troubled by the lake, it is very simple - find someone with means.
It sounds complicated, but in reality it is still a very simple matter.
Major matters such as the opening of the sea ban, the vassal farmland, the exemption of officials and gentry, and the garrison of the garrison have not yet been resolved. If you complain now, what will you do later?
And what Liu Jian heard was the words that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first mentioned: I just want to keep an eye on him.
The last thing must have a result.
Now Qi Kuan's subsequent land allocation was also targeted by the prince.
All the people involved in this matter...some will get opportunities because their abilities will be demonstrated, and some will get killed because of it.
Prince's can effectively reduce fraud in this process.
Because there are Jin Yiwei who are also arranging the situation, if they don't match up, how will Han Wen explain to the prince?
Of course, how not to be fooled by his subordinates is Han Wen's business, and Zhu Houzhao doesn't care.
Anyway, I’ll work overtime when I get back today.
This is called changing people like changing knives. Different people lead different people. In ancient China, many disasters were actually man-made disasters. If a reliable person did something reliable, the situation would be different for a few years.
"There is one more thing," Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered, and it was actually very important. He pointed to Fu Han, the Minister of Rites, "For the imperial examination in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the Ministry of Rites must make corresponding preparations, and Shi Dian also Fu Shangshu is in charge."
The so-called Shi Dian Master is to pay homage to Confucius. This is the proper etiquette, and the procedural stuff is nothing fancy.
"My lord, I would like to obey His Highness's will." The Ministry of Rites seemed to have little presence on Zhu Houzhao's side, and Fu Han didn't say a few words.
"Li Dongyang, Dai Shan."
"I'm here."
"Have the questions for the exam been decided yet?"
The two looked at each other and said, "Counting the days, Xinyou in March is the date of the general examination. There is still one month left. Therefore, the questions of the general examination have not yet been decided."….
"Yes. I know that there will be a third test on current policy." Zhu Houzhao wanted to think about this, "Can I ask a question?"
"this……"
Fu Han, the Minister of Rites, wanted to say no, but he thought about what Liu Jian said yesterday.
It was Tu Yu who flattered him first, "The questions for the general examination are decided by the examiner, and the examiner is decided by His Majesty. Now His Majesty is resting and His Highness is supervising the country. It doesn't violate etiquette to come up with a question for the general examination. Why not?"
"Okay." Zhu Houzhao didn't want to give others a chance to argue, so he quickly accepted it, "Then I will come up with a policy topic. Li Dongyang, Dai Shan, you two stay, and everyone else can go about their business. "
"yes!"
This opportunity to pose questions is still very important.
To some extent, it reflects the direction of the imperial court's governance.
He thought about it carefully and said, "Two gentlemen, according to my wishes, let's discuss the changes and changes in law."
The so-called method is the method of Wang Anshi's reform. From Zhu Houzhao's perspective, there are some things in the country that he wants to change. But the general moral environment should generally not be changed. Wang Anshi's reform is often a negative example.
In this case, it is necessary for him to shake this inherent concept.
After hearing what the prince said, Li Dongyang immediately asked for paper and pen. He already had an idea in his mind, and he put it down together:
[The king and the people keep their word, Faler. There should be certain methods in ancient and modern times. And Meng Ke and Xun Qing were both great Confucians. One is called the king of Dharma, and the other is the king of Dharma. How can they be at odds with each other? The laws of our country are as good as those of ancient times. However, there are also those who followed the bad law in the previous dynasty and followed the good rule in the Xi Dynasty. How can they follow the original way? Although it is still in ruins as of now, should there be any updates? Or it can be said that the troubles are not integrated, and the ears are not integrated... If the husband wants to integrate the internal organs, the false feelings will be endless; if it is expanded, the good system will not change. I honestly don’t know what to do. 】
"Your Highness, is this okay?"
Zhu Houzhao took a look and saw that the font was beautiful and in line with his meaning. His impression of Li Dongyang changed a little bit, "Yes! Just do it like this!"
