I am the king of the dead

Chapter 425 Is this a worthy minister?
Numerous poetry clubs wrote a book of thousands of words for the sake of the people they depended on, and Hu Wei had to write a book of ten thousand words to set the sight straight and maintain etiquette.

Even if he offended the emperor, he still had to do it. This was his function as Minister of Rites.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "How can it be useless? There are no sages in the husband's dynasty, just like a giant without wings. Although it has the hope of thousands of miles, it still cannot achieve what it wants."

Zhu Qiyu's words come from "Liu Xiang Shuo Yuan". Zhu Yuanzhang has several favorite books, namely "Tao Te Ching", "Yun Fu", "Heart Sutra", and "Liu Xiang Shuo Yuan".

Zhu Yuanzhang also personally annotated the Tao Te Ching, and used this to eliminate extravagance, extravagance, and Thailand.

Liu Xiangshuoyuan is another book that Zhu Yuanzhang loves so much, it mainly talks about governing the country and the people, the rise and fall of the family and the country, and the theory of vertical and horizontal.

Liu Xiang was a figure in the time of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty. His main achievements were "Chunqiu Guliang Zhuan", "Biography of Women", "Warring States Policy" and compiled "Shan Hai Jing" together with his son.

Yunfu is a kind of class book, which was written by Yin Shifu in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. When writing words and poems, he selected words and looked for allusions so as to use them as rhyming sentences.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang set the tripod, he didn't know much about Chinese characters, let alone quoted scriptures.

However, Confucian scholars in the Yuan Dynasty always quoted scriptures and classics in various memorials, and bullied Lao Zhu for being illiterate. In order to understand what the scholars were trying to say, Zhu Yuanzhang took this kind of book Yunfu and read allusions, that is, it was used as a dictionary.

The Heart Sutra is Tang Xuanzang's translation of "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra", which is a philosophical book translated from Sanskrit.

Xie Jin once fiercely criticized Zhu Yuanzhang for not reading these four books, because each of these four books was more deviant than one.

"Shuo Yuan" is outrageous enough, it talks about the theory of pre-Qin vertical and horizontal.

"Yunfu" is even more filthy and unremarkable. Later, Xie Jin presided over the compilation of "Yongle Dadian" kind of books, just to fulfill the original promise to Zhu Yuanzhang and write a kind of Ming Dynasty books.

It took Zhu Yuanzhang eight years to annotate the Tao Te Ching. When the annotations were completed, Confucian scholars were all shocked. Could it be that Emperor Gao wanted to abandon Confucianism?
The entry of Xie Jin and others marked the first time that the Ming Dynasty had its own scholars, and no longer had to be angry with the Confucian righteous scholars of the Yuan Dynasty.

The Wanyan Book is an important tool used by the Ming Dynasty to clarify the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and to correct the court guidelines. This is true from the early Ming Dynasty to the Jiajing period.

When this group of people in the Poetry Society used Wanyanshu as a means to force the emperor to release profiteers, Hu Yan had to maintain Wanyanshu's original role.

This is etiquette.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Okay, very good, I will discuss this memorial with all the lovers after I read it carefully."

"Your Majesty is wise, I will retire." Hu Wei breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty was not angry. This was the best result.

What Hu Yan is most afraid of is that the previous book of ten thousand words angered His Majesty. When this book of ten thousand words is published again, his majesty will think that all the officials are working together to force the palace.

It took Zhu Qiyu a quarter of an hour to read it without seeking any further understanding.

For example, the first article wrote "The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is solid and the country is peaceful."

From the pre-Qin period, "Shangshu·Thai Oath", "Guwen Shangshu·Song of the Five Sons", "Gao Taomo", "Guanzi" and "Xunzi", all the way to the Ming Dynasty.

What is discussed is the ideological evolution of the past dynasties of Minweibangben.

For example, in the Han Dynasty, Jia Yi said: "The country regards the country as its foundation, the king regards it as its foundation, and the officials regard it as its foundation. Therefore, the country regards the people as its safety, the emperor regards the people as a threat, and the officials regard the people as the high and low. This means that the people are all the foundations." At that time, Lu Jiuyuan said: "The people are the most important, the state is second, and the ruler is the lightest. The people are the foundation of the country, and the people of Qiuqiu are the son of heaven. This is righteousness and justice" and so on.

From the pre-Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties, the people are the foundation of the state, and Hu Wei pointed out: "In a peaceful world, only the people are the foundation."

The main content of Yu Qian's discussion is the system of the country, emphasizing the idea that the world is the public, citing classics, and generally discussing the system of the world.

Like Hu Wei, from the pre-Qin period to the Ming Dynasty, the idea of ​​the world for the public has continued to evolve.

For example, citing "Shangshu·Zhouguan": "Using the public to eliminate private interests, the people will accept it." "Mozi·Jianai" said: "The reason why a benevolent man acts in order to promote the benefit of the world and eliminate the harm of the world .”

Yu Qian finally pointed out: "Combine the private interests of the world to make the world public, and this is why it is called the king's government."

The six ministers, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Wenyuan Pavilion made a general discussion on the way of governing the country of the Ming Dynasty, summed up the ideological changes of the past dynasties, and discussed the future direction of the Ming Dynasty.

""Admonishment to the Monarch, Daoist and Minister Yishu", the strategy for governing the world, good!" Zhu Qiyu couldn't put it down because of this book.

Zhu Qiyu somewhat understood Zhu Yuanzhang's joy when he received Xie Jin's Wanyan letter.

Of course, the more words that have something to say and are beneficial to Ming Dynasty, the more the better for the monarch.

Although the previous Wanyan book was full of nonsense, Zhu Qiyu still read it patiently, and even reflected on some of his mistakes since he came to power.

Compared with the two, "Admonishing the Emperor, Daochen and Yishu" is more worthy of careful study.

Xing'an brewed a pot of tea and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, isn't this the duty of a minister?"

"A good Wanyan book, a good bus que, almost changed its appearance, this is the original face of the bus que."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Look at it again, they are usually busy all over the world, but they are all full of knowledge! And what they wrote, isn't it just their thinking about Guochao over the years?"

Not only Zhu Qiyu was thinking about the direction of Ming Dynasty, but also the officials. They summarized the past, looked forward to the future, and sorted out the current problems.

This is the true face of Wan Yanshu, who was almost ruined by these crooked pens.

Xing'an put down a pile of memorials from Xiaohuangmen's hands, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, the memorials to impeach the Minister of Officials..."

Zhu Qiyu looked at dozens of memoirs, and said with a frown: "They all impeached Wang Zhi?"

"Yes." Xing'an nodded, His Majesty's expression had changed from elated to cloudy.

Zhu Qiyu said helplessly: "Xie Zhenqi made a mistake, why must it be pinned on Wang Zhi?"

"If you lose, you will hold grudges, and if you win, you will counterattack. It is really a literati."

What does Xie Zhenqi have to do with Wang Zhi to act mischievously in the name of Wang Zhi?
Wang Zhi promoted the administration of officials and offended people cleanly. When there was a slight situation, he was mobilized and attacked.

Xing'an thought for a while and said: "If I don't kill Boren, Boren will kill me because of it?"

This allusion is what Wang Zhi's ancestor, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao said.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Huai of Jin and Emperor Min of Jin were captured by the Xiongnu. The Langya Wang family helped the Jin family to cross to the south, and assisted Emperor Jin Yuan to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and a pattern of kings and horses sharing the world emerged.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the Wang family and the Sima family launched an extremely fierce competition for the throne.

At that time, Wang Dao's elder brother Wang Dun rebelled. Wang Dao was an official in the court and brought his wife and children to plead guilty, asking for forgiveness from Emperor Jin and Yuan. At that time, Zhou Wei entered the palace to intercede for Wang Dao.

Zhou Boren defended Wang Dao, but Wang Dao didn't know.

After Wang Dun succeeded in raising troops and monopolized the power, he asked Wang Dao whether Zhou Boren could be trusted, whether he could use him, and whether he wanted to kill him, but Wang Dao didn't say a word.

In the end, Zhou Boren was killed by Wang Dun.

Director Wang later found out that Zhou Boren defended him, and regretted saying this sentence, I will not kill Boren, Boren died because of me.

What Xing'an means is that although Wang Zhi did not do evil, but Wang Zhi's old friendship and Qi Wanzhi's friendship did evil, then Wang Zhi should also be blamed and dismissed from office.

This is a basic logic. For example, Guo Jing, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was dismissed because of the lawlessness of relatives and friends, and Yang Shiqi had to resign because of the lawlessness of his son.

Wang Zhi's current Qi Wanzhiyi Xie Zhenqi instructed those who wandered and besieged Songjiang prefecture and city shipping department to resign for the same reason.

Zhu Qiyu probably flipped through the memorials, and the reason was roughly the same as what Xing'an said.

He finally understood why Hu Wei didn't let his son take the imperial examination.

He asked curiously, "What did Wang Zhi say?"

"Wang Shangshu also published a memorial." Xing'an took out one from the memorial, paused a little and said: "I think what Wang Zhi said is reasonable."

"Oh?" Zhu Qiyu said with emotion after reading Wang Zhi's memorial, "It's really full of tricks."

Wang Zhi chose to become an official at this time. Although it was a bit late, he landed safely and returned to his hometown.

If Wang Zhizhi returned to his hometown at this time, and the fallen leaves returned to his roots, he would be worthy of his clan, the court, and the king Zhu Qiyu. After all, Wang Zhi did not make a mistake himself, but because he was brought along.

But Wang Zhi didn't choose that way, he chose to be buried in Jinshan Cemetery.

The reason for Wang Zhi's refusal to take office is very simple, just four words: "Wang Ao looks down on you."

It's just that Wang Ao is not yet able to be a six-part heavenly official. His qualifications are enough, but his reputation is not enough.

Wang Zhi wrote an old story in the memorial, and Zhu Qiyu commented: "There are many tricks."

How did Yang Shiqi become the leader step by step?

Why did Yu Qian still take care of Chen Ruyan after he was granted the title of Marquis of Wen'an, and Yu Qian was responsible for all the major affairs of the Ministry of War?
Is Yu Qian good at power?

However, Jiang Yuan relied on the three merits of the imperial examination, Hetao Supervising the Army, and checking the world's granaries. After sitting in the Minister of the Ministry of War, Yu Qian followed Zhu Qiyu in the expedition. After returning to Beijing, Yu Qian did not take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War.

Yu Qian doesn't like arrogating power.

Yu Qian took care of Chen Ruyan and Wang Zhi because they were unwilling or unable to take up official positions because of these two words, which were underestimated.

In fact, Wang Zhi already wanted to become an official. Zhu Qiyu said at the time that the officials still needed him. Wang Zhi thought about it for a while, and stayed without much hesitation.

Officials of the Ming Dynasty are full of tricks.

In the third year of Xuande, Jian Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was too old to take care of things, so he was relieved of his position in the Ministry of Officials. Guo Jing [jīn] took over at that time.

Yang Shiqi agitated wildly, Guo Jing looked down upon him, and then emptied the entire official department.

Specifically, starting from the fourth year of Xuande, there was a vacancy in the Ming Dynasty from the chief envoy to the magistrate, and he was allowed to be recommended by Beijing officials above the third rank.

In the Zhengtong period, even the censor and magistrate were allowed to be recommended by Beijing officials of the fifth grade or above.

The appointment and promotion of important positions are not related to the official affairs.

The Ministry of Officials was completely evacuated.

Zuo Tongzheng Chen Gong said: "In ancient times, the selection of common officials was based on the selection of ministries, and the positions were specialized and the affairs were unified. Today, the courtiers are all aware of what they know, and they are afraid of opening the door for private visits. There will be a long-running competition, and begging will be eliminated. , to return to one."

Chen Gong said that this kind of recommendation was unacceptable, and would advocate that the courtiers form a party, but Guo Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, humbly declined, saying that he did not dare to do so, so he gave up on the matter.

Guo Jing was afraid of Yang Shiqi's power and knew who was doing the evasion of the officials, so he didn't dare to resist.

Until the eighth year of orthodoxy, after Wang Zhi took charge of the Ministry of Officials, he was dedicated to his duties and unified his affairs, closing the door of private visits and banning the wind of competition.

From the third year of Xuande to the eighth year of Zhengtong, during the 16 years, the selection and appointment of officials by the imperial court were all recommended, and there was a mess of smoke and cliques everywhere.

Wang Zhi had conflicts with Yang Shiqi and Wang Zhen one after another because of the power of the official department.

Wang Ao has enough qualifications and ability, but not enough reputation.

Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know about Guo Jing's past, he always thought that the Ministry of Officials was what it was now, and was in charge of the selection, examination, and honors of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty.

It has been more than 16 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but for [-] years, the Ministry of Officials is equivalent to nothing!
Sure enough, the wise ministers of the Ming Dynasty must be the first of the three Yangs!
A true good minister and good prime minister.

Zhu Qiyu Zhu approved Wang Zhi's memorial, because Wang Zhi's stay in office was originally the meaning of his great emperor.

"Hu Shangshu has started to train Liu Ji now." Zhu Qiyu suddenly thought of something, full of smiles.

"Then Hu Shangshu has been an official for forty years and has served six dynasties without decline. Naturally, there are two brushes." Xing'an thought for a while and replied.

Wang Zhi began to lose face, and he refused to leave. He was obsessed with power, which was somewhat similar to Hu Wei's way of being an official.

"If I don't criticize their memorials, and Wang Zhi refuses to leave, what else can they do?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously.

Xing'an thought about it seriously and said: "Wang Shangshu is not trying to make a name for himself, and His Majesty's holy family is still there, so there is no good way."

"Now Wang Shangshu lives in the official residence, and he is safe and sound, and will not be tossed about."

Zhu Qiyu's mansion law was originally intended to circle the courtiers and prevent them from forming cliques, but now it has become an important means to protect the courtiers.

Zhu Qiyu patted the Wanyan book on Hu Yu and said: "I'll take a look at this again, did the emperor have any memorials to send reformers back to the country?"

In the fifth year of orthodoxy, the reformation of land and returning to the stream in the Ming Dynasty was officially interrupted because of the prosperity of Wen and Wu.

Up to now, the Siyong Regiment Battalion is still in Miaojiang and has not returned, just to promote the reform of the land.

The Ming Dynasty’s reform of the land and return to the natives is a complete set of logic, including reforming exiled officials, opening roads, establishing prefectures and counties, immigrating to reclamation, and promoting schools and education.

"Not yet, but soon." Xing'an said with a smile.

Zhu Zhanqian, the emperor's uncle of the Ming Dynasty, was in Guiyang. At this time, Zhu Zhanqian met Guo Yan, who was the magistrate in Fuzhou, Fujian, and supervised the construction of 120 ships of the Ming Dynasty. The people rebelled against Guo Yan who burned the ship.

Now Guo Yan is the magistrate in Sizhou Prefecture, Guizhou.

Guo Yan is now in Guizhou, and was taken away by Zhu Zhanqian to continue shipbuilding. Zhu Zhanqin was inspecting the Wujiang Shipyard, and he shipped it to Guiyang Prefecture. Chongqing Prefecture.

This is part of the first phase of the dredging of the [-]-mile waterway.

Luo Bingzhong looked at the high-spirited Zhu Zhanqian, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I was robbed of the headline of the mansion last time, and this time it will definitely not happen!"

"Which pot is not opened, which pot is not to be lifted!" Zhu Zhanqian was originally full of ambition, but immediately became mixed. Although he is not a headline, he is also a sub-version.

But this time, he has done several major events in Guizhou, and he should be able to grab the front page of the mansion newspaper!
But he faintly felt something was wrong.
