Chapter 419: Pass the Test! It Is Imperative to Rectify the Officialdom!
Latest website:
The matter of King Jingjiang came to an end.
After all, there is someone who is willing to stand out, and the officials are happy to see this.
Jin Chun has always been honest and upright, and enforces the law strictly. When he goes to Guilin Mansion, he is afraid that the evil-doing King Jingjiang and the members of his clan will be in trouble this time.
However, this is actually a good thing. The court's efforts to eliminate harm to the people can actually increase the virtuous reputation of the Gongun princes and improve the court's credibility.
You don't have to stand out, but you can also increase your reputation. Why not do this kind of good thing?
Seeing that the ministers were silent, Zhu Gaoxu directly announced a personnel appointment.
Xie Jin Jie Gongbao was reinstated and continued to serve as the Minister of Academic Affairs.
In addition, the King of Han promoted Wang Ji, the Prime Minister of Tianfu, to the position of Minister of Academic Affairs.
When the officials heard this, they were dumbfounded.
You, the King of Han, can just re-appoint Xie Gongbao. After all, he is your party member, and Xie Gongbao's own talents are also there. There is nothing good to say about this.
But you fucking promoted a prime minister to a minister of the third rank, what kind of behavior is this?
Why are you really in a state of disbelief? Are you starting to sell your position?
So how many benefits did Wang Ji give you to make you so careless about your dignity?
Although Yingtianfu is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the Yingtianfu Yamen is the highest local administrative organ of the imperial capital, Fu Yin is a senior official of the third rank, and Fu Cheng is a senior official of the fourth rank, and their power status is equivalent to that of a prefect elsewhere.
However, is it too big a step to go directly from the Prime Minister to the Minister of the First Division, and to enter the power center of the central court?
Moreover, Wang Ji was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Yongle. He was appointed to the military department and sent to Shanxi shortly after. At that time, Yingtian Mansion was in short supply of a Prime Minister and the affairs were urgent and complicated. Wang Ji was ordered to act as an agent, so he became the Prime Minister of Yingtian Mansion.
Looking at this person's resume, it can be said that there is no bright spot and no political achievements!
Why would the thief Prince Han notice this person?
Could it be that... there is some inside story that they don't know about?
For a time, Wang Ji's name quickly entered the eyes of the civil and military officials of the court.
Regardless of whether Prince Han of the Supervisory State promoted Wang Ji to the rank of Vice Minister of the Academy, this matter has become a foregone conclusion. It is destined that Wang Ji will rise to the top and become famous in the future!
Zhu Gaoxu didn't care what these guys thought, he just dismissed the court meeting, and then left six ministers and other nine ministers in the court.
Now that the eyesores are gone, the only ones left are the court magnates, and Zhu Gaoxu no longer has any scruples when speaking.
After they sat down one by one, Zhu Gaoxu directly asked Nie Xing to distribute the new test method, one to each person.
"You are all important ministers of the Ming Dynasty. You must have more or less understanding of the various new policies implemented by the imperial court."
"These new policies are actually major national plans that benefit the country and the people, but they cannot be implemented because of villains who interfere with them!"
Hearing this, Jin Zhongjianyi, Xia Yuanji and other giants suddenly looked at each other.
The villain is making trouble?
The "little man" in the King of Han's mouth refers to...Jin gentry?
"Of course, I can't blame you entirely. I was too hasty and didn't make any preparations."
“If we want to implement this new policy successfully, we must first rectify the administration of officials and purge the officialdom!”
"Nowadays, in the Ming Dynasty and local officials, the administration is corrupt and the laws and regulations are not up to par. The ancestral laws and regulations have either become a formality, or they have directly become a means and tool for officials to fight for power and profit!"
"Under such a premise, even if you have your full support, if the decree leaves the central court but cannot reach the palace and cannot be implemented, it is useless!"
Hearing this, Jian Yi was immediately startled and asked tentatively: "His Royal Highness, the King of Han, means... to rectify the administration of officials?"
"That's right!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "Before the implementation of the New Deal, we must first rectify the administration, otherwise the so-called New Deal will just become a joke!"
"Emperor Jianwen raised the status of the literati and officials to the level of perverted treatment similar to that of the former Song Dynasty, and then suppressed the noble military attachés until they were powerless and had no choice but to work as dogs for the literati and officials. He forcibly created a prosperous age for the literati. As a result, these civil servants and gentry did not know how to restrain themselves when they reached the Yongle Dynasty!"
"For example, Liu Guan and other important officials in the central court were corrupt, and local officials followed suit to whitewash peace. After the literati and officials in the government and the public had had enough to eat, drink, and enjoy themselves, they began to jointly advocate the universal joy, peace, and luxury. People see and hear!”
"This official system should be rectified a long time ago. It's a pity that our prince is a kind and generous master, but he can't be so ruthless. He raised his butcher's knife against the civil servants and gentry and cleaned them up!"
"The prince dare not, but this king dares. If we continue to indulge like this, our Ming Dynasty will sooner or later cause the three redundant problems of the former Song Dynasty, which will eventually lead to poverty, weakness, and no way to save it!"
The words of the King of Han made all the giants tremble with fear.
It is true that compared with the politically cold Hongwu Dynasty, the Jianwen Dynasty respected culture and education, treated scribes with courtesy, and gave generous treatment to civil servants and gentry.
The Jianwen Dynasty lasted only four years, but it presented a prosperous scene where the people were content with their livelihoods, their families were well-fed, their homes were not closed, and their belongings were not picked up on the road. This was the case, at least in Jiangnan and other places, so that both the government and the public were talking about it. "Four years of easing the government and relieving the severe frost".
However, this also gave the officials of the world an illusion, as if the real owner of this court was not just the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats sharing the world!
The reason why the former Song Dynasty collapsed was that the civil servant group had too much power, and military officers and military officers even went to the ridiculous point of treating civil servants and gentry like dogs.
As a result, the civil service group was internally divided, resulting in many party disputes, coupled with the problem of redundancy and redundancy, which eventually led to poverty, weakness and no way to recover.
However, compared with the previous Song Dynasty, the current Yongle Dynasty is still not as serious as that terrible.
Jian Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
The King of Han is determined to rectify the government and suppress the disobedient civil servants and gentry. Can he, the Heavenly Official, stop him?
Can't stop it.
There is no need to stop it.
In order to implement the New Deal, officialdom must be rectified!
After all, the new policies implemented by the King of Han may have greatly damaged the interests of the civil servants and gentry, but for the people of the world, they were truly benevolent and good governance!
Therefore, all the giants fell silent and looked at the new test method in their hands.
"The test method has two core points: setting limits to test things and holding people accountable based on things!"
"The Six Ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate register the matters that their officials should handle and the deadlines set by UU Reading www.uukanshu.net in three account books. One book is kept by the Six Ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the other is sent to the Sixth Section. Finally, One copy for the cabinet.”
"The six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will register according to the account books and conduct inspections every month. Each item will be registered. Otherwise, it must be reported truthfully, otherwise it will be punished."
"The Sixth Section can also require the Sixth Department to report the implementation status every six months, and violators will be discussed and punished on a case-by-case basis; finally, the cabinet can also verify the inspection work of the Sixth Section."
Zhu Gaoxu briefly explained the process of passing the law test, but he still had some worries in his heart, which originated from the cabinet.
After all, once this examination law is implemented, the power of the cabinet will be greatly increased!
Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister at the time of the rescue, implemented this examination method in order to form a complete official evaluation mechanism with the cabinet commanding the supervisory agency, the supervisory agency supervising the six ministries of the central government, and the six ministries commanding the civil and military officials and local officials.
In other words, Zhang Juzheng, as the chief minister of the cabinet, also has his own selfish motives.
But now the Yongle Dynasty's cabinet is only an advisory body and has no power.
However, if the cabinet is eliminated from this link, the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will skyrocket to a terrifying level without any checks and balances!
Although Zhu Gaoxu believed in Gu Zuo and Gu Peizi, there was more than one Gu Peizi in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
It is not a good thing for the court if one party is dominant.
In this case, it is better to appropriately increase the power of the cabinet. After all, with the existence of the cabinet, the imperial power is subject to certain restrictions. In the future, if the descendants of the old Zhu family are ineffective, it will not be difficult to check and balance!
Currently, there is only one bachelor in the cabinet, Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites.
At this moment, Hu Hui looked at the examination method with a very complicated expression.
I just want to lie down, why are you so tormenting me?
