Zhang Juzheng didn't mean this originally. Because Zhu Yijun guided the topic, he said the word "man-made disaster" first. At this time, the emperor's murderous intention was revealed, but he could not retreat.
I had no choice but to follow the lead and say: "Yes, I would like to invite the Ningcui Hall project case to be reviewed. The officials from the Jinyi Guards Hall and Dongchang will send personnel to attend."
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he changed the subject without saying whether he agreed or disagreed, and said, "In project supervision, officials have always been prone to bribery and corruption. "The Biography" says: 'The failure of the country is due to official corruption.' Old sir, these officials are responsible for corruption. It won’t work without governance.”
Zhang Juzheng responded: "What the emperor said is that if officials are not honest, governance will decline. I also know that people's livelihood is closely related to the virtuous officials, but only by passing the test will the results be effective. Officials are annoying and if there is a large-scale anti-corruption campaign, it may cause turmoil. .”
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he smiled bitterly. Then he strengthened his will and said sternly: "Although our dynasty has strict laws, now they are just empty words, and greedy and lewd people have no scruples. If things go on like this, the method of passing the exam will also become a method that harms the people. Until then, our monarchs and ministers Where can the two of you retreat? At this moment, there is no way to retreat, the only way is to break through the thorns and thorns to break through this fog!"
When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he overturned the five-flavor bottle in his heart. In fact, he didn't want to rectify the official administration. The "Chen Liu Shi Shu" he submitted during the Longqing period basically focused on the reform ideas of personnel and official administration.
However, as a politician, Zhang Juzheng has always adhered to the principle of "observe before planning, plan before taking action, think long and far-sighted, and all plans will be right." At this time, it has just been a year since the law was passed, and he is bound to encounter countercurrents when he strictly implements anti-corruption.
Zhang Juzheng was not afraid of going against the current. When the platform called him, Zhang Juzheng had already told Zhu Yijun that "all the matters behind him will be ignored."
Regardless of whether his statement was true or false at the time, what Zhang Juzheng was thinking about at this time was, if the anti-corruption campaign led to political instability, would the emperor be able to withstand it? Can the Queen Mother withstand it? These issues require in-depth investigation. If you are not sure, do not act lightly.
Although he heard Zhu Yijun's determined statement, Zhang Juzheng still advised: "Your Majesty, we must not relax our efforts to fight corruption and promote integrity, but we are not in a hurry to carry out reforms. In my opinion, the people employed by the court at this time still need to be 'selected by public officials, responsible for implementation, and execution'" "Long-term appointment, strict inspection", everything should be based on actual merit, no false reputation, no swaying of reputation, no mixed feelings of love and hate, no one thing to sum up a life, no one thing (note: life, cataract, extended to a fault) Covering the Great Festival. The Emperor is interested in the light of the Kingdom, that’s what it means.”
When Zhu Yijun heard Zhang Juzheng use Wang Guoguang as an example, he smiled and said: "The old gentleman is just as utilitarian as me."
Seeing that he had calmed down, Zhang Juzheng thought that the emperor's worries had rested for a while, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the official system is declining day by day, and the people's hypocrisy is getting worse. Three feet of ice does not freeze in a day. Good habits will last for a long time, and the vigor will be strengthened." It’s difficult; it’s hard to do anything with a cold face, and it’s scary to talk nonsense.”
"At this time, it is not necessary to make a big fanfare, but to discuss the matter. In the sixth year of Longqing, the imperial court had implemented Beijing inspection and external inspection. According to the rule of one Beijing inspection every six years and one outer inspection every three years, if the imperial concubine was killed and another inspection was carried out, I would I'm afraid that all the officials will not care about the matter and will only focus on the camp."
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he smiled and said: "My intention is not to inspect in the capital, but in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The imperial court specially commissioned censors and subjects to correct the problems, but I was not satisfied with the results. Six subjects and thirteen subjects heard about the matter and were involved. Whether the official defends or criticizes, it is all empty and empty."
After Zhang Juzheng heard this, he couldn't believe his ears. He opened his mouth to listen to Zhu Yijun continue: "I want to expand the Metropolitan Procuratorate and change the bad rule that one person is responsible for picketing in each place. There will be at least eight people in each department, and the power of inspection and investigation will be added. Part of the Jinyi Guards is located under the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
Zhang Juzheng felt incredible after hearing this. I didn't think it through for a while, and subconsciously asked: "The Jin Yiwei is the army, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the civil servant, how can they mix together?"
Zhu Yijun changed the topic again and said: "Although Dongchang was established by Chengzu, he has been quarreling with the courtiers for hundreds of years. I want to merge Dongchang and Jinyiwei, reestablish the Jinyi Guards, and take charge of the Yiwei Chenju and Lu There are two internal intelligence bureaus, which are in charge of domestic intelligence affairs, and the first section of the bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate; the first military intelligence bureau is in charge of military intelligence affairs and is shared with the Ministry of War; and the first supervisory bureau is in charge of military intelligence affairs. The Jinyi pro-army has internal supervision. There are two commanders, divided between internal officials and nobles. I want to gain the effect of unifying the intelligence by launching a revolution like this."
Zhang Juzheng was shaken after hearing this. Zhu Yijun planned to cut down Dongchang, which was the greatest virtue policy since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Zhang Juzheng lived in three dynasties, and recently he often compared Zhu Yijun with Shizong and Mu Zong. Compared with Shizong, his biggest characteristic is that he does not govern with power and mostly follows the right path. Although there are occasional out-of-the-blue thoughts, when looking at their true intentions, they are mostly in favor of the country and the people's livelihood.
Compared with Mu Zong, Zhu Yijun was diligent, frugal and self-restrained, and he could not even see Mu Zong's shadow in terms of working hard to govern. In terms of character, he is resolute and resolute, and can act according to his plans. Compared to Mu Zong, who is sensitive and inferior, he is like raking his ears, and the difference is even more insignificant.
Zhu Yijun was young at this time. If he could persevere, Zhang Juzheng would dare to point to the sky and say: "Since Taizu, the one who can revitalize China is none other than today."
Although this Mingjun has many benefits, as the deputy minister of Bingzheng, Zhang Juzheng is more than 30% tired than before.
In the original time and space, in the third year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng invited Zhang Siwei to join the cabinet and share government affairs. Moreover, after Zhang Siwei entered the cabinet, he became Zhang Juzheng's doormat and child bride.
However, in this time and space, because Zhu Yijun was diligent and hard-working and had no food and clothing until the end of the day, Zhang Juzheng couldn't stand it at the beginning of the second year of Wanli. Following the emperor's hint, he promoted Wang Guoguang to become a bachelor of Dongge.
Moreover, as he said, the emperor is a utilitarian person. If he wants to take something, he must first give it to him. Once this virtuous policy comes out, there must be a sequel.
Following the emperor's words, Zhang Juzheng asked: "With four bureaus and two commanders, how will the emperor be in charge?"
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he smiled and said: "I am the king of Hou Xun's family, and the court is equipped with honor guards, but I don't have any. Isn't this a weird thing - I want to set up a chamber of attendants and select a number of nobles, civil servants, military generals and internal officials. A chamberlain, who serves as my eyes, ears and hands. This position of chamberlain is chosen from a noble family - I prefer the British Duke."
Zhu Yijun rationalized his thoughts and continued: "The candidates for the Attendant's Office are composed of Hanlin officials who account for 30% and are recommended by the cabinet. At this time, among the governors in the world, those who are young and powerful and who want to be used in the future can be recommended by the ministers. The military attaches will be selected from martial arts in the future. I can choose the official by myself." After saying that, he briefly talked about the duties and functions of the attendant's room which are similar to "Taiwan Balm".
Zhang Juzheng never expected that the emperor would take advantage of the death of Concubine Qi to make such a fuss! I secretly suspected that the emperor sent someone to break the beam?
Since Zhu Yijun traveled through time, he has often thought deeply about the gains and losses of strengthening imperial power in the past dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a fierce competition between the imperial power and the prime minister's power. The emperors of all dynasties always wavered and balanced between the ceremonial supervisor and the cabinet. They never wanted to mix various political forces and put them under the personal control of the emperor. It was a pity.
The art of swinging and balancing is a good method in times of peace. However, during the late Ming Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the large-scale party strife in the court reached its extreme point - the imperial power was completely out of control, which was an important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
After more than a year of thinking, Zhu Yijun believes that the bodyguard system established in the Qing Dynasty largely replaced the functions of the ceremonial supervisor and achieved the ultimate in feudal society in strengthening imperial power, which can be learned from. However, he is not legally in charge, and other conditions for removing the Supervisor of Ceremonies are not yet mature, so there is no need to mention them now. Zhu Yijun had previously restructured some departments and supervisors, but he had just laid a foundation.
However, in later generations, Chang Kaishen learned from the old wisdom of the Qing Dynasty and set up an attendant's room. Zhu Yijun may learn a thing or two from it in terms of strengthening the function of the central government.
After the Great War in the Central Plains, Chang Kaishen was able to gather scattered local warlords under the central government. In addition to having the great cause of resisting foreign aggression, the attendant's room played a big role. Zhu Yijun thought for many days and took advantage of the death of Concubine Qi to blackmail Zhang Juzheng.
After Zhang Juzheng heard the emperor's plan, he thought it was true, so he first gave him a date, and then slapped him in the face. The establishment of this chamber of attendants must divide the power of the cabinet. This is obvious because of lice on the bald head.
The emperor selected the best among the civil servants, military officers, nobles, and internal officials of the court as his confidants. In the future, he will be sent to six ministries and localities, and he will definitely be of great use. No wonder the emperor previously proposed to learn from Renzong and establish a secret memorial system. It turns out that there is such a big article waiting here. This emperor - is really scheming.
In the whole country, more than ten years later, everyone will be the emperor's mentor, and they can directly report with silver medals. If you use Nanhaizi martial arts to seize military power again. He used the imperial shop and the imperial factory to hold independent financial power - the emperor's rule was really like an iron barrel. When the time comes to point out the country, it will be like an arm using a finger.
If the emperor successfully completes this reform, it may be possible to realize the original intention of establishing the cabinet: to "consult advisors and participate in aircraft maintenance" for the emperor. Zhang Juzheng thought of this, and he didn't know what it felt like.
Zhu Yijun's eyes were bright, as if he could see through Zhang Juzheng's thoughts, and he smiled and said: "If the world is in great order, I also have the idea of restoring the system of prime minister for the sake of future generations. This is a story for later, so I won't mention it for now."
Zhang Juzheng's heart skipped a beat, thinking that after the emperor slapped him, he drew another cake. Although he knew that the emperor was drawing cakes, Zhang Juzheng still lost his normal mind and thought that this was the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, prime minister!
I was in a state of confusion when I suddenly heard someone coughing slightly from behind the screen, and then a female voice said: "Why did the investigation of Ningcui Palace involve the prime minister?"
