Ma Ziqiang put forward requirements for the administration of officials. First, officials, and then officials were required to take a math test. People selected in this way could not be said to be loyal to the emperor and the country, but they were more respectful than the humble Confucians. .
Sun Piyang's method of drawing lots to appoint officials focuses on the idea that no one can be offended. Around the appointment of Jinshi, everyone has to share this piece of meat. No matter how much it is divided, it will not be divided evenly. Simply draw lots to decide, and you will get the pot of the golden land. It is your destiny to be full of money. If you are drawn to a barren land and your scalp is numb from being tortured by unruly people every day, that is also your destiny.
This method of thinning mud was implemented in the Ming Dynasty after Sun Piyang became Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and it continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Hexini is a common unhealthy trend in the officialdom. This unhealthy trend actually means that the standards are blurred. Everyone fishes in troubled waters and uses the power in their hands to benefit private parties. For example, the selection of officials, even if it is determined by the court, You can't cheat in the exam, so you can use another method to let your dog eat royal food, such as the interview method. No matter how good you are in the exam, it really depends on your power.
This is the benefit of obscurity, for private gain.
During the reigns of Kangxi and Yongzheng, Kangxi and Yongzheng wanted to set up a Municipal Ship Division in Songjiang Prefecture several times. The purpose was to control the increasingly rampant smuggling and collect customs duties according to the system of the Ming Dynasty Shipping Division Du Guan. Kangxi fought three times and Yongzheng fought. Both times, the trip failed in the end, so Kangxi could only lament: Su Songjin, a gentry, wanted to do business, but he was afraid of inconvenience to himself. He wanted to benefit the public family at the expense of the villagers, so he refused to set up a company. That's all, that's all.
In the end, it was nothing more than that, and the Songjiang Shipping Department was never able to be established.
Ma Ziqiang’s school examination method, especially the math test, which is based on a 100-point system and can only be appointed as an official after passing 90%, is definitely an act that seeks to scold and be hated by others, because mathematics cannot lie, and if you can’t do it, you can’t. , using arithmetic to break through this ambiguity and standards can be regarded as a continuation of Zhang Juzheng’s spirit of becoming a master of law.
If the appointment and dismissal of officials by taking a math test is the first promise, then the second promise is to trace back to the source.
Ma Ziqiang means that if we want to make the administration of officials clear, we must start from the source and continue to promote Zhang Juzheng's New Deal. Before passing the examination, the academic officials must be selected, and the standard method of selection is also Examination, but this time the exam includes theory of contradiction and arithmetic. Arithmetic is also a 100-point system, with 90% passing. Only those who have passed the arithmetic exam can preside over the academic affairs of a party.
Ma Ziqiang’s meaning is very interesting. He said that academic officials are scratching their heads over the theory of contradictions and arithmetic. Naturally, students everywhere will also be scratching their heads over the theory of contradictions and arithmetic. Since I am caught in the rain, it makes no sense for you to hold up an umbrella to avoid me. rain.
This second thing of Ma Ziqiang is also a new policy to rectify academic affairs. Zhu Yijun was filled with emotion after reading it. When the Qing Dynasty recorded his name, the reputation of the Ming Gong of the Ming Dynasty was probably older than that of the clay sculptures of the Three Pavilions of the Chenghua period. Paper-paste six ministers still stink. It is a certainty that Ma Ziqiang will leave a villainous reputation in history.
Zhu Yijun wrote a memorial to criticize Ma Ziqiang and gave him some encouragement.
Ma Ziqiang is not willing to kneel down and be Ming Gong.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with Liu Qiniang?" Feng Bao was a little unsure. Today, His Majesty announced Liu Qiniang. Could it be that His Majesty really left the Yingying Yanyan in the harem alone and planned to go hunting in the wild?
This Liu Qiniang looks very good, and her figure is not bad, but if she is pregnant, the eldest son of the Ming Emperor is a prostitute, this will definitely become a black material for His Majesty the Emperor, even if he is a palace maid.
"Feng Bao! I made it very clear. I was just asking about her life. What I am concerned about is the life of the craftsmen of Yongding Yongsheng Woolen Factory. She is a craftsman and I only know her. There is no need to deal with her." Zhu Yijun can certainly understand Feng Bao's attitude. Worried, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen went against his promise and released the daughter of a hundred households in Miyunwei to make him dependent. This daughter married someone else, but Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty wanted to bring her into the harem and caused trouble. Feng Bao naturally had to be cautious.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and explained in great detail: "Do you know why I announced my meeting with her? Because she was originally a prostitute from Yanxing Tower. Didn't you notice? When people's livelihood becomes more and more difficult, this prostitute from Dongsi Hutong The more there are, the worse people’s livelihood is, and the more prosperous the brothels’ business is.”
"Eh, eh? It's true! Your Majesty is really insightful!" Feng Baoren was stunned. He really didn't pay attention to this matter. Your Majesty always has some strange but very reasonable quantitative standards here, such as the people's livelihood and brothels. Business is booming.
This is actually very understandable. When people's livelihood is difficult, it will be difficult for people to make a living, but they still have to live. So if you become a prostitute in Dongsi Hutong, or find a nanny to be your godmother and run around in various buildings together, it will become It became a way to survive.
When the people's livelihood is difficult, it is also a time when powerful right-wingers and wealthy businessmen gather together. Taking advantage of the disaster years to merge and devour the means of production, they naturally want to be free and happy, so this brothel is busy.
"Really, why didn't I think of this?" Feng Bao finally understood the reason why the emperor wanted to see Liu Qiniang. In order to observe the people's livelihood situation in the Ming Dynasty through samples, since it was not his intention, then Feng Bao had to deal with Liu Qiniang's matter. , you can do it with ease.
Feng Bao said very seriously: "Your Majesty, I still remember that beautiful girl from the West City courtesan. She served Zhao Yuanwai so hard that she could redeem herself. However, because Zhao Yuanwai didn't serve her well, she was thrown directly into the ice and snow and almost died. "
"I lead the business of Huangzhuang, taking this Yanxing Tower as an example. When I go there every other month, I find that the fairies have changed their appearance, and there is a huge flow of personnel. These fairies are either making money. Enough is enough, either there is a wealthy family who wants to hide their beauty in a golden house, or the benefactor kills her, or she dies of illness, or she doesn’t know who’s in the belly and aborts the fetus and doesn’t make it through.”
There is a huge flow of people in the business of brothels. People come and go for various reasons. For example, someone was beaten to death by a benefactor. From the brothel to the madam, everyone defaults to keeping things quiet because they are afraid of delaying business.
If you often go to Goulan to listen to music, you will find that all the familiar faces have been replaced by new ones after a month. This is a remarkable feature of this business.
"There are not many new faces in the brothel these days." Feng Bao said with a smile: "In this case of the Weaving Bureau and the Official Wool Factory, I don't dare to say whether this woman was reduced to a lowly status or lived as a human being before she took up the lowly business."
The freedom to slide down the class is not freedom.
If you work as a prostitute in Dongsi Hutong or live in a building, you will become a lowly person, and a lowly person is actually a slave. When the court is handling a case, if a lowly person sues a good person, the lowly person will first receive fifty strokes. The killing stick.
The abolition of the abject status is not a human being. In the good governance of the Qing Dynasty, there is a saying of abolishing the abject status. However, in actual implementation, the abject status still exists in practice. Those turtle men and prostitutes who have abolished the abject status are still sluts. Complaining against kindness will also result in a slap in the face.
In fact, Zhu Yijun was tempted to abolish the humble status, but in the end he did not do it. It was not because of the great resistance, but because it was unnecessary. The theory of contradiction told Zhu Yijun that contradictions are ubiquitous, one body has two sides, opposition and unity are the infinite principles of all things. fundamental.
For example, Wan Shihe and Ma Ziqiang asked for chastity memorial arches, such as Jiji. Their existence is indeed a kind of dross, but they have a positive effect on regulating social conflicts.
Wang Daokun had just assumed the post of governor of Songjiang and presided over the establishment of Songjiang Prefecture's Shipping Department. He was immediately accused of having a good family night, and Wang Daokun could only take a concubine, which ended hastily. If the prostitute's status was cancelled, It is difficult to explain clearly such a thing about adultery, and there are also obstacles in the judiciary. If a prostitute goes to the Yamen to complain about rape, how should the county interrogate her?
Feng Bao is very familiar with the current situation of the brothel industry. In the past, the brothel was full of guests, but now it is full of old faces, and some of them are crooked, can't play or sing, and have a bad temper.
The reasons for this phenomenon are quite complex. Firstly, there are fewer practitioners, and secondly, business has deteriorated. After all, there are only a few people like the oil seller Qincheng who are willing to save several years of money to visit brothels, so the rich and powerful are all busy. Very busy making money.
The local depreciation caused by the silver barrier forced the powerful and powerful to find ways to increase the value of their wealth.
Shi Yao Hao You hate change, whether it is good or bad. To them, change is the worst thing.
Zhu Yijun started his busy New Year celebrations. The Ming cabinet came first to pay New Year greetings, then the court officials, and then the court officials. Each of them sent a New Year's greeting list, boasting about the good weather since the emperor took office, and also a discussion about the impact of corruption on the country. A memorial to harm.
The harem was also busy. Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen, along with the selected queens and concubines of the middle palace, met with their wives, who were the wives of court officials. Wang Yaozhuo behaved very well and did not go beyond the rules. , Queen Mother Li and Queen Mother Chen recognized this daughter-in-law very much.
After Zhu Yijun heard about it, he always felt a little weird. It was like when he first arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he was too cautious and did not dare to go beyond anything. The most important thing for Wang Yaozhuo now is the wedding. After becoming the queen, Wang Yaozhuo Can he still be as well-behaved as he is now?
Judging from the fact that Wang Yaozhuo actually agreed to keep these thirty-six beauties in the harem, it is probably not a waste of money.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Yijun took the officials to worship the Ancestral Temple. In the Ancestral Temple, Zhu Yijun and Zhu Yili offered incense to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty and exchanged the sacrifices.
"Qi Shuai won a great victory in the Daning Guard and drove the Tuman Khan out of Liaodong. At this point, the conflict in Liaodong has become simple. The confluence of Dongyi and Beili must first break through the Great Xianbei Mountain Pass and build slaves with the size of Dongyi , faced with Ming’s step-by-step approach, there is no ability to resist.”
"The establishment of the Nagasaki Governor's Palace and the stability of the Luzon Governor's Palace are the best news for this year's opening of the sea. The King of Ryukyu has been unwilling to agree to my conditions for a long time. I want to see how he deals with the Japanese pirates next year. If he completely turns to Japan Japanese pirates, this country that is not conquered, must be conquered, this is the composition of the Ming Dynasty's maritime power."
"The Kong family in Yanzhou has no reverent heart. I hate them very much. I hope everything goes well for Ling Yunyi's Qingzhang. Over and over again, I have given the Kong family dignity. If they are unwilling to show dignity, I will help them respect it. "
"In the Xishan attack and murder case, my husband is the main target, and instigating the relationship between me and my husband is the secondary target. This move is an excellent move. I can deal with it fairly well. If there is a slight mistake, I am afraid it will be unsustainable. The new policy will be changed to The party struggle will come to an abrupt end. Fortunately, I still have some talents."
"Mr. Ding is worried. I built the Yicheng Prefecture outside the imperial mausoleum in Xishan. This ancestor suppressed luck in Xishan, which was beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. Some courtiers said that the sir planned to usurp the throne and screwed my head. As a football player, if the day comes that Mr. Qi and Shuai team up to screw my head, just screw them, I will admit defeat."
"I think Mr. Lai would be reluctant to part with it."
In front of the portraits of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun rambled about what happened in the fifth year of Wanli. This was an annual work report. He told the emperors of the old Zhu family what he had done. He started from Wenhua I took out several books from the display window of the side hall of the palace. They are all this year's new policies.
Later generations' calculation of the late Ming Dynasty started from the thirteenth year of Wanli. From that time, the Ming Dynasty officially entered its old age.
Because after that, the old order had been completely broken, but the new order was still brewing. The emperor lost the sanctity from the legal system, and the subjects no longer generally recognized and supported the Ming Dynasty. This was the late Ming and Wanli Thirteen years later, no one, no matter the emperor or the ministers, has the power to save the world, no one has the belief to save the world, and there is no political authoritative figure. The court has entered the era of party struggle, and there is no longer any spare power to Save the world from decadence.
This is late Ming.
The beginning of the late Ming Dynasty was not the death of Zhang Juzheng in the tenth year of Wanli, but the death of Zhang Juzheng in the 12th year of Wanli. More than eight million taels. Without the restraint of Zhang Juzheng, Emperor Wanli began to slack off. The court discussions stopped continuing, memorials began to be confused, and state affairs became decadent.
Zhu Yijun stood at the Ming Emperor and showed a bright smile. He was still very confident and would continue to lead Ming Dynasty, at least it would not be worse than the Wanli period in history.
Zhu Yili listened to all this silently behind him. I don't know if it is easy to be a foolish king who just eats and waits for death, but it is really tiring to be a wise king.
"Brother, is it easier to be a faint emperor?" Zhu Yili said what he had to say and asked questions. After all, it was the emperor himself who was giving the banquet to Zhu Yirui.
"No, it's not easy at all." Zhu Yijun waved his hands and said: "Look grandpa, in the first twenty years, he was the Monkey King who broke through the sky. In the next twenty five years, he worked hard in every possible way, and the imperial court was so poor that he became the emperor. Living in Xiyuan, the Guanghan Palace is very dilapidated, the national affairs are in turmoil, the northwest is invaded by Japanese invaders, and the southeast is frequently invaded by Japanese invaders, and everyone is annoyed everywhere. When you are a wise king, you can still do what you want to do at least, but when you are a faint king, what do you want to do? , some people sprayed saliva all over their faces."
"Look, when Hai Rui scolded Grandpa, didn't Grandpa just retaliate?"
"That's true." Zhu Yili carefully thought about the emperor's words, nodded and said: "It is more satisfying to be the Monkey King, and to fight and defeat the Buddha. The living being is no different from a stone."
"That's right, I'm a fool and my thoughts are unclear." Zhu Yijun touched Zhu Yijun's little head with a smile on his face.
In fact, being a prince is the most enjoyable. The emperor is my brother. As long as I don't go out of line, doesn't that mean I can do whatever I want? Zhu Yirui did not say this. He was now the de facto crown prince. If the emperor had no heirs, he would have to shoulder the responsibility of the country. He did not want to disappoint his brother, thinking that he had no ambition.
People are lazy and can just wait to die without any ambition, so why should we work hard to survive?
When Zhu Yijun left the Ancestral Temple, he received a New Year's greeting from Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang, Li Rusong, Liu Yingjie, and Liang Menglong who were on the expedition to Huiningwei. At the same time, he also thanked the emperor for rewarding the three armies. The reward was potatoes. Wagyu beef, a famous dish, and beef stew with potatoes came into being.
The beef stewed with potatoes only contains three thousand kilograms of beef, and the rest is pork stewed with potatoes. Whether it is beef or pork, it is the emperor's heart. Rewarding the three armies is a condolence to the soldiers on the front line.
Because of the great victories of Huiningwei and Yingchang, Zhu Yijun ordered the Aoshan lanterns to be advanced by three days. The Meridian Gate began to be lively on the third day of the first lunar month, and the Aoshan lanterns and the Shangyuan Lantern Festival were connected together. This was a rare bustling event in the Ming Dynasty. , but Zhu Yijun still chose to show up and leave in order to avoid the reward given to Baiyi.
This year, the lights in Aoshan are even more lively, because the large telescope is just outside the Meridian Gate. Anyone can apply to see the comet floating in the sky.
After the Great Comet appeared, the most popular products in Huangzhuang's business changed from the Taishi Chair and Ambergris to the telescope. A twenty-fold telescope costs three taels of silver, while a forty-fold telescope costs three taels of silver. It costs ten taels of silver each, and there are people in Huangzhuang who are responsible for debugging and installing this thing.
Thousands of forty-time telescopes were sold, and the activity of observing the great comet crossing the sky spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. It reached its peak during the New Year. All those who looked up at the stars couldn't help but think about a question. , that is, are there really heavenly beings living in the sky?
The 40x telescope can clearly see the outline of the moon and the craters on it. There is no Guanghan Palace, Wu Gang or Jade Rabbit on it. It has become easier to accept that the earth under my feet is a ball.
Naturally, some concepts were gradually developed under the leadership of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, such as the earth, its axis, the reasons for the changes in the seasons, etc., and a quarrel even overshadowed the arrival of the great comet, that is, the earth is the universe. Is the sun the center of the universe? Many people are arguing over this proposition!
Zhu Yijun liked this kind of excitement very much. He and Wang Yaozhuo secretly hid in Wenhua Building, the highest place in the palace, watching the excitement in the city with a telescope. They were given a banquet by the king's palace. Zhu Yijun passed nine Jue Zhili chose to leave, and in the side hall of Fengwang Palace, the queen mothers of the two palaces and their concubines were talking. Wang Yaozhuo was not a queen yet and had not been canonized. It was not suitable to be in public all the time. A pair of beautiful ladies were hiding in Wenhua Building. Li looked at everything in the capital.
The Aoshan Lights of Aoshan is a giant lamp car erected three feet high, with colorful palace lanterns hanging on it. Occasionally, fireworks will erupt from Aoshan and explode in the air, illuminating the faces of the celebrating people. Their smiles.
The east wind blows thousands of trees into bloom at night. It blows down even more, and the stars are like rain.
Zhu Yijun and Wang Yaozhuo were talking about something. One of them scolded cheap Confucians for their harm to the country. It was okay to occupy the manhole and not shit. It was simply unreasonable for others to scold the cheap Confucians while others were working. But Wang Yaozhuo Talking about the trivial matters in the Gewün Courtyard, Zhang Juzheng's son Zhang Siwen and the number one scholar Jiao Hong had a fierce quarrel over an issue, and even got into a fight.
"Aren't Zhang Siwen and Jiao Hong good friends? Jiao Hong still got the badge of the Quanchu Guild Hall in the imperial examination, and he actually got into a quarrel with Zhang Siwen? He even started fighting?" Zhu Yijun asked dully. He couldn't imagine two gentlemen at all. Fighting scenes.
"When the quarrel got serious, they would start fighting. If they couldn't stop arguing, they would keep arguing. After the fight, they would regret each other. If the emperor hadn't made peace with them, they wouldn't be talking now." Wang Yaozhuo's eyes were full of laughter. Crescent Moon, Gokuyuan also talked about the fight because it was very rare.
Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "It's just a matter of reconciliation."
Zhu Yijun and Wang Yaozhuo were chatting, while Zhang Hong and Feng Bao were also arguing downstairs. The content of the dispute was that the ancestor and the second ancestor had differences over some palace rules. The second ancestor Zhang Hong thought that the palace rules were the palace rules. The rules must be strictly enforced, and anyone who fails to comply will be punished. The ancestor Feng Bao meant that of course the palace rules must be followed, but there must also be tact.
The starting point of the dispute between the two was when a Xiaohuangmen from Langxia's house and a palace maid became a couple. The word "Double" is a wonderful word. Xiaohuangmen is a eunuch. There is no bell, so naturally there is no relationship between husband and wife. But let's put it aside. Loneliness can still be solved with the right food.
While the couple was having a meal together, they accidentally knocked over the candlestick and set it on fire in a room in the house on the veranda. According to the palace rules, the couple should have sunk, but Feng Bao only dealt with it by one person. He gave them twenty strokes and spared them.
"We are guarding His Majesty. We are not careless at all. We are not your disciples or grandsons. Why do we need to protect you like this? If the Queen Mother and Your Majesty find out, I am afraid that you will be better off, huh." Zhang Hong said with a sneer.
"How do you know that the Queen Mother and Her Majesty don't know? This is His Majesty's intention. If you tighten the reins too tightly, the horse will not be able to run and it will be strangled to death by you. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Feng Bao said proudly. He said, one look at Zhang Hong and he didn't know the details. This means that his ancestor Feng Bao can still continue to be in charge.
"Your Majesty knows?" Zhang Hong was stunned and thought it was Feng Baosi who made the decision, but it seems not.
Feng Bao said cheerfully: "Why don't you go up and ask?"
"Why, why did Your Majesty let these two people go?" Zhang Hong was confused.
"Do you understand that there is a degree of relaxation? Your Majesty means that I should be relaxed. On weekdays, problems should be exposed so that mistakes will not be made in major events. Blind high-pressure will only lead to hatred." Feng Bao said to His Majesty. The admonitions are brought out to speak.
What is a major event? Everything that involves His Majesty is a major event. Don't be too harsh on things that don't involve His Majesty. Only by constantly exposing small problems can you be more comfortable with major events. It is also said that Taoist Master was in Renyin Palace in the 21st year of Jiajing. It has become a historical lesson.
Blindly harsh, only hatred is left, and when hatred continues to accumulate, it will explode.
Moreover, the purpose of being confused about trivial matters is actually to screen out hidden dangers, find loopholes in the palace, and prevent major incidents from happening.
Zhang Hong thought about it carefully. If he was so strict on weekdays that the palace officials put a little poison in the wine for the emperor's wedding, even if His Majesty was fine, then if Wang Yaozhuo died of poison in front of His Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely turn into a cold stone, and soon the emperor's misfortune will become the misfortune of the palace, the misfortune of the capital, and the misfortune of the world.
Some time ago, a maid in the imperial wine room stole wine. Due to the strict palace restrictions, the stolen national cellar could not be sold. She probably drank it in private. Feng Bao did not punish the person excessively. He threw the person into the well and punished him. However, the imperial wine room had The mistakes made Feng Bao pay more attention to the management of the imperial wine room.
If there is a certain degree of relaxation and excessive harshness, the result will be changes in the Renyin palace.
He wanted more and wanted more, but he couldn't get anything. Feng Bao only wanted the safety of the nobles in the palace.
"You, learn a little bit." Feng Bao said cheerfully. The second ancestor is the second ancestor. If you want to be the ancestor, you still have a long way to go.
The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and the fireworks welcome the new year.
The Ministry of Rites also clamored for the emperor to go to the eastern suburbs to welcome the Qing Emperor in person, which was also called the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival ceremony was also one of the sacrifices. Zhu Yijun sent the high priest Xu Wenbi to pay homage on his behalf.
After the Spring Festival Ceremony, it was the day when the Ming Dynasty official offices ended their shifts and began to go to work, and the emperor also came to the Wenhua Hall to continue to listen to the government.
Lu Tiaoyang sat on the far left, opened a memorial in his hand, cleared his throat, and then said seriously: "The Ministry of Personnel has discussed the memorial and abolished the price of passing the official and the righteous official to replace the official."
"Since the orthodoxy, the Ming Dynasty has set up justice officials. In recent years, the price of replacing officials is very low, regardless of good or bad. If you pay forty taels of silver, you can get a crown and belt and be called a justice officer. If you are appointed as an official, the reason is profit. Therefore, Zaoli, Slaves, beggars, and scoundrels all used their capital to borrow money and paid for it. All the arrogant and tyrannical things were done by him. In only one county of Cheung Chau, from the first year of Chenghua to the first year of Hongzhi's reform, there were several to three hundred people who paid. It can be described as excessive.”
Eliminating old abuses is also an important part of the New Deal.
The price of a righteous official to make up for an official is the Ming Dynasty's selling of officials and titles. It has been established since the Zhengtong period, and the price is forty taels, and you can get a crown, and you can even have errands, that is, to control power. The reason for the price of a righteous official to make up for an official is because of gathering traitors. In order to gain profits, these scoundrels will also pay loans, and then after winning the title, they will become arrogant and do harm to the countryside.
No one knows how much money was paid, because the money is not enough for the court, and the local government is also confused. This is a vague method. Once the selection and appointment of officials are unclear, there will be a fuzzy area. After the blur, who will want to figure it out again? It is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Tightening the entrance to the selection of officials is the core content of this year's official administration, and it is extremely important. The court did not investigate clearly because it knew that the investigation was unclear, so it directly eliminated this item to avoid future troubles.
