Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 457 Honor and Disgrace

"This Man Gui, I really did not misjudge him."

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao showed a faint smile and praised without hesitation: "These clan members should be treated more harshly than ordinary new recruits. If the drum sounds, you should beat it with a heavy hammer. Send someone to inform everyone. Gui, fight when you need to fight, punish when you need to be punished, don’t worry about anything else, if someone fails the test, we will expel the Xishan Camp, the Emperor Mingzong Army does not raise waste, and my internal funds cannot be wasted!!"

"Here!"

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly lowered his head and responded.

Zhu Youxiao was concerned about the training of the Huangming Zongjun, especially the first batch of clan children who entered the Xishan camp. After knowing the basic situation, Zhu Youxiao had nothing but ridiculous performances during the period. idea.

One by one, living in confusion in various places, they were selected to join the Emperor Mingzong Army, and came to the capital to receive training. Their performance was acceptable at first, but as time went by, family backgrounds were discussed in private, and each one began to show off.

Is it possible that on the battlefield, you can still show off to the enemy?

Zhu Youxiao will never get used to this kind of bad habit, let alone let it become popular in the Emperor Mingzong Army. The surname Zhu is true, but it does not mean that he is superior to others, especially in the army, it is Long You Just sit tight, or lie down if it's a tiger. If you don't have real skills, you will never get ahead!

The Huangming clan army is one of the pillars that supports the operation of the clan. Moreover, even now, there are still many people who oppose the clan's formation of an army. The banner is that the country is unstable, so Zhu Youxiao will never allow it. A rat droppings can ruin a pot of soup.

He successively supported the Shaofu, the Military Academy, the Zongren Mansion and other bureaucracies. Zhu Youxiao wanted to standardize the powers of various fields and levels. He would focus on the powers of the foreign dynasty bureaucracies. If they should be divested, they would be divested, and if they should be transferred to subordinates, they would be transferred to subordinates. , everything in the Ming Dynasty could only be handled and decided by the civil servants!

Especially for the independence of the Shaofu and Zongrenfu, Zhu Youxiao wants to make the national treasury, internal funds, and Zonglu into independent entities without any connection between them. Whoever's income and expenditure cannot make ends meet will be troubled. Don't think about looking for compensation elsewhere, so as to avoid exploiting the bottom class to the greatest extent.

In the past, these were not clearly distinguished and everything was lumped together. In the past few years, there have been many confusing and embarrassing things.

At this stage, the large-level revenue and expenditure system has been basically sorted out. All revenue and expenditure systems are equal and they can borrow from each other. However, if you borrow and repay, it will not be difficult to borrow again. In the future, there will be one more Lifan Yuan, Zhu You The school association will establish a separate revenue and expenditure system to maintain the overall overseas framework.

However, within this longer period of time, the Zhu You School Council will further clarify the detailed reforms of each revenue and expenditure system to ensure that there are no loopholes at all levels to prevent intentional people from taking advantage of loopholes!

"There is now a public opinion in the capital that is closely related to Yan Shenggong's lineage?"

After handling the affairs of Emperor Mingzong's army, Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves, leaned on the cushions and looked at Dong Yingju, the counselor of the South Study Room who was waiting quietly, with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, a public sentiment has indeed arisen."

Dong Yingju bowed and said: "After the death of Duke Yansheng, the title became vacant. The Integrity Council supervised the water transportation case in Shandong and arrested Kong Yinzhi. From then on, some people began to discuss the matter privately."

"But the current situation is obviously different from the original. Many people who talked about this matter said that the Independent Commission Against Corruption deliberately framed it in order to attract favors."

"It seems some people can't sit still."

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile but not a smile: "Since the establishment of the Institute of Integrity, it has been criticized and questioned. It is said that Cui Chengxiu and the others are lucky ministers and cruel officials!" "However, there is not a single important case that Cui Chengxiu and the others have supervised that is not evidence. Is it true? Which one of the people arrested and brought to justice by the Integrity Council was wrongly accused?"

Dong Yingju lowered his head and said nothing.

Perhaps Cui Chengxiu and the others did not have a very good reputation in the government, but it is undeniable that after the Integrity Commission supervised some important cases, none of them were unjust, false or wrong. It was just the process of supervision during the period, which was different from the previous methods. This is the most disapproving reason for some people.

They are all officials, and they can't be seen when they look up, so this also makes some people think that they can make things right if they can help. After all, no one can guarantee their career, it will always be smooth, and if they fall into trouble, , if you offend too many people, wouldn’t it be the end?

But the many officials of the Integrity Agency headed by Cui Chengxiu are not like this. When they supervise certain important cases, their attitude is very clear. They will arrest whoever needs to be arrested, and no one can plead for mercy. Because Cui Chengxiu and the others know that they can The fundamental reason for being in the Integrity Council is the reliance of the emperor. Without this fundamental reason, they would not be able to gain a firm foothold in the government.

"I also heard that Shandong-born officials from the capital worked the hardest during this period?"

Zhu Youxiao paused and continued: "You even incited a group of scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam, and wanted to involve them in order to expand public opinion?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Dong Yingju reported truthfully: "At present, under the rule of the capital city, in addition to the Huangming Times controlled by Nanshufang, there are also a number of other newspapers. These newspapers usually publish more curious articles and even anecdotes. , to attract people to buy.”

"In special periods, these times publish some targeted articles. Just like when the Integrity Institute was ordered to go to Shandong to investigate the case, some times pointed out that the Integrity Institute overstepped the ancestral system and usurped the responsibilities of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This It attracted quite a bit of attention in Beijing, but it was all responded to by Huang Ming Times."

The battle in the field of public opinion has always been fierce and secretive.

Before the Huangming Times, the leading power of public opinion had always been in the hands of the so-called scholar-bureaucrats Qingliu. When they expressed a point of view between the government and the public, it would cause a lot of controversy, and as more people participated, especially those who were unclear about the officialdom The influx of scholars would easily affect the situation in the court.

Zhu Youxiao will never allow such a thing to happen again!

"Then fight back!"

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said: "The examination is about to begin. I don't want some people with ulterior motives to affect this talent selection ceremony, so I will publish what I said before. I want to see if they are serious." Respecting Confucianism, or pretending to respect Confucianism, everyone claims to inherit the mantle of the sage and practice the way of the sage, but all the things they do are contrary to the sage!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Dong Yingju immediately bowed in response, but he was not at peace in his heart. He knew that when the Huangming Times began to counterattack, a bigger storm would be set off in the capital! !
