The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 566

Zhu Houzhao fell into deep thought.

He is the Son of Heaven, and everything will be decided by him in the end.

Treating corruption cannot be accomplished by patting the head. It requires the right medicine and firm determination.

Now Zhu Houzhao is not sure whether using business to cure corruption is a good medicine.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was contemplating, Xie Shen didn't continue.Daming has gone through more than a hundred years, and it is still glamorous from the outside, but in fact it is riddled with holes.If you don't take strong medicine to treat it, I'm afraid it will be terminally ill.

Of course, the disease did not occur in the Zhengde Dynasty.But Xie Shen felt that it was necessary to seek medical treatment in advance instead of waiting until the onset of the disease was about to occur.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, unless you travel with golden thighs, you are really helpless.

Now that Xie Shen is in a high position, he feels it is necessary for him to do something for the empire.

It took a long time for Zhu Houzhao to open the golden mouth and said: "I think what you say is reasonable, but I'm afraid I will be opposed by the officials of the Manchu Dynasty."

Xie Shen is not worried, as long as Zhu Houzhao admits this, there will be no obstacles.

Officials against?Then let them oppose it!Ever since Xie Shen introduced the New Deal, was there a time when they didn't object?When did they not get slapped in the face by Xie Shen?
As long as the emperor supports Xie Shen, he has the confidence to carry out the New Deal.As for the other things, he doesn't need to pay attention to them at all.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry. You can bring this matter up at the court meeting. At that time, if the officials have any ideas, tell them to come to the ministers."

Uh.
Facing Xie Shen's dominance, Zhu Houzhao had long been used to it, so he nodded and said, "I will do as you say."

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao realized that Shoufu hadn't spoken yet, so he made amends in embarrassment: "What do you think of Shoufu?"

Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Your Majesty and Siming are right, I agree."

Today, Li Dongyang no longer has to do everything by himself as he did back then.

Many specific matters can be handed over to Xie Shen.Li Dongyang was so happy, he took the initiative to delegate power to Xie Shen, which was tantamount to indirectly cultivating Xie Shen's assertive ability and preparing for him to succeed the chief assistant in the future.

As for Gu Dingchen, he naturally also agreed: "I also agree."

He is very aware of his abilities, it is okay to be a wingman, but it is probably not good for him to be the leader alone.

The four monarchs and ministers reached a consensus, and everyone was happy.

The next day, the emperor held a court meeting in Fengtian Hall, and as soon as he came to the court, Xie Shen went out to invite the merchant supervisor.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the court.

As expected by the four monarchs and ministers in advance, the stubborn civil servants criticized Xie Shen and his plan, demoting him to nothing.

Xie Shen quietly listened to them pretending to be aggressive, and waited until the last person's voice disappeared, then he coughed and said: "Since the adults have finished speaking, then Xie will also say a few words."

He looked concentrating and said: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been countless corrupt officials. Have you ever thought about why? It is because of the lack of a supervisory system. Maybe some people will refute Xie, saying that the supervisory censor is used to supervise officials. But do you think that a supervisory censor can really inspect the entire chief secretary? Even if they are really energetic and able to inspect them, if they are bought by corrupt officials."

Xie Shen's barrage of questions obviously stunned those officials who refuted him.After Xie Shen slapped his face, he continued: "Everyone, don't forget that the supervisory censor is also an official, and like those local officials, he eats the emperor's salary. Since this is the case, it is inevitable that there will be mutual protection between officials and officials."

"Master Cifu's words are wrong, you are doubting the moral character of my Ming officials!"

Luo Li, the censor of Youqian capital, couldn't stand listening anymore, Mr. Xiao Ge was clearly here for their capital procuratorate.If he doesn't refute again, I'm afraid it will leave the emperor with the impression that the inaction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has led to repeated bans on corrupt officials.

This can be troublesome.

"Lord Luo, Xie did not question the integrity of the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but there are some things that the system is more secure than the integrity."

Xie Shen said these words so loudly that everyone could hear them clearly.

Luo Li also trembled, it seemed that what Xiaoge said made a lot of sense.

"If Daming gave all the power of supervision to the supervisory censors, it would be tantamount to relying on the personal integrity of the supervisory censors. If these censors have integrity, then it's okay. It's nothing more than tiring, and there will be no collusion. But what if these censors have no integrity? Wouldn’t there be a situation where officials and officials protect each other? I believe Master Luo can’t guarantee that there is no moth in the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?”

"This"

Luo Li was stopped by the question now, there was no way he could talk to death.

"Since you can use the system to restrain you, don't gamble on the personal integrity of officials. What Xie wants to implement is an institutionalized supervision system!"

After years of court experience, Xie Shen has already possessed a strong aura.These words were so impassioned that no one dared to refute them for a while.

After a long time, Zheng Shiqiu, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, said: "The old Xiaoge said it was easy, but the system is not so easy to create. If it is not done well, it will not only fail to create a good system, but also damage the foundation, so it is not appropriate."

What Zheng Shiqiu said was cryptic, but how could Xie Shen not hear his subtext?It is nothing more than worrying that after the local officials are not corrupt, the respect of Beijing officials will be affected.

These are real benefits, so Zheng Shiqiu can't help but not worry.

Xie Shen smiled and said, "It's better to move the foundation than to rot. What does Mr. Zheng think?"

Seeing Xie Shen tongue-twisting against the Confucians in the court, Gu Dingchen couldn't help feeling emotional.

Mr. Xiao Ge is indeed a man of gods, many ideas are definitely not something he can come up with.

"Look at the history books. Which dynasty was destroyed not because of corruption? Corruption affects the foundation of the country and hurts the feelings of the people. How can a dynasty whose foundation is shaken by opposition from the people continue to rule?"

"Mr. Xiao Ge, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that the foundation of Ming Dynasty has been loosened and that it has hurt the feelings of the common people?"

The general envoy, Feng Xiao, finally couldn't help but speak out.

What Xie Shen said before is watertight, he really can't find a place to put his beak.But this one can make a fuss about Wen Jue's words.

Xie Shen knew that someone would hold on to his words, and responded very calmly: "No, no. Xie didn't say that Daming had reached such a point. But it must be a doctor for headaches. No. Since you have a disease, you must find out the root cause of the disease and cure it in one step."

"But what right does a businessman have to supervise officials? Isn't this nonsense?"

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, this is the status of the feudal dynasty.

Shi is the first, business is the last.

Xie Shen previously led the five-port trade and sea ban, and allowed merchants to set up factories and industries on their own. Now he plans to give merchants the power to supervise officials. What exactly does he want to do?
Feng Xiaozhen felt that there was a traitor in the civil official group.

On the issue of fighting corruption, there must be no compromise.Because once there is a weak heart, it is impossible for a strong man to cut off his wrist.

Compromising with corrupt officials is tantamount to letting the towering tree of Daming rot from its roots.

Zhu Houzhao and Xie Shenjun sang together, leaving the opposition speechless.

Although they felt that Xie Shen had betrayed the civil official group, but Xie Shen did it very rationally and with the support of the emperor, they had no choice but to show off their quick tongue.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao spoke.

"Since you gentlemen have no objections, I have decreed that Shuntian Mansion should first try to use business supervisors. Merchants who have reported officials can submit their report letters to the report box in front of Shuntian Mansion. Shuntian Mansion will be responsible for sorting out the letters of report. , regularly submitted to the Cabinet."

This is tantamount to concretizing one of Xie Shen's ideas.

The ministers didn't expect that the emperor would decree to try out this policy so soon, it was too vigorous and resolute.

However, this is in line with the emperor's behavior style. The emperor also followed his word when he was on the northern and southern tours.

Although the policy is only a trial implementation, it undoubtedly shows the attitude of the emperor.

Just like Qingzhang land was first tried out in Songjiang Mansion in Nanzhili, followed by the capital and then the whole country, this policy may soon be implemented in Daming.

"Retreat."

As soon as His Majesty's majestic voice sounded, the matter was sealed.

After the Great Court Meeting, Xie Shen did not return to the cabinet but went to the Hanlin Academy to look for Tang Yin.

Returning to his hometown, Xie Shen was quite emotional.

It was here that Xie Shen started his official career more than ten years ago, and he has been on a steady rise since then.

Now Tang Yin will continue on his old path, but Xie Shen has new arrangements for him.

Seeing that the Cifu of the current dynasty, a scholar of the imperial court, came to the Imperial Academy in person, the junior official naturally respectfully said: "I don't know what is the important matter of Cifu coming to the Imperial Academy?"

Xie Shen said without anger, "I'm here to ask Tang Xiu to write it. Is he in the Imperial Academy?"

"Tang Xiuzhuan is compiling history, please come with me as a secondary assistant."

Xie Shen followed the little official to the office and strode in.

Seeing that Tang Yin was concentrating on flipping through the history books, Xie Shenping stepped back and the rest of the people in the office walked up behind him and slapped Tang Yin on the shoulder fiercely, so frightened that Tang Xiuzhuan almost passed out.

"Siming, what are you doing? You really scared me to death."

Tang Yin had just recovered from the shock, and he patted his chest to recover.

"I haven't seen you coming to the Hanlin Academy these days, I thought you had forgotten me."

Xie Shen rolled his eyes at him and said: "You are heartless. Even if anyone forgets you, I will not forget you. Tang Yin scratched his head, hehe said with a smile: "I believe that. "

"But Siming came to the Imperial Academy for some important business, right?"

Tang Yin smiled slyly.

"Nothing can be hidden from Bohu."

Xie Shen spread his hands and said, "I came to the Imperial Academy to ask you personally, do you want to change the environment?"

Tang Yin was taken aback and said, "What do you mean? I'm going to be promoted?"

Xie Shen shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not considered a promotion, but if you do well, you can be in the heart of the emperor."

Xie Shen said it calmly, but Tang Yin's mouth was watering.

Obediently, that's Jane in the heart of the emperor.

Which of the courtiers who can achieve simplicity in the emperor's heart is not an important official, but the last one is an extremely human courtier.

The best example is Xie Shen, everything is not a problem if you have a good relationship with His Majesty the Emperor.

"Siming, don't be a fool and tell me what this new official position is?"

Tang Yin and Xie Shen are different, although both of them are champions, there is a twenty year difference in age when they won the champions.

Tang Yin is the number one scholar at the age of 40, and he is really worthless. If there is no big disturbance in the past few years, I am afraid that his career prospects will be relatively bleak.

"Well, have you heard about the Great Court Meeting?"

"Of course, Siming, it's amazing that you are fighting the Confucians with your tongue."

"Stop sycophanting. That's what I'm looking for."

Xie Shen said slowly: "Would you like to be the Governor of Shuntian Mansion?"

"what?"

This time Tang Yin was completely stunned.

"Shuntian. Shuntian Governor? Isn't Siming joking?"

Hey, is this equivalent to how many levels have been promoted?

Tang Yin felt a little dizzy and couldn't count.

Although Yin of Shuntian Prefecture can't compare with Minister of the Minister, but he is also an official with real power.

And the grade is stored there, and the prospects for both level promotion and promotion in the future are very promising.

But it shouldn't be such a good thing for no reason, right?There must be something hidden in this.

Seeing Tang Yin looking at him suspiciously, Xie Shen coughed and said, "Bohu, you have to trust me for your own good. Your ability is enough to be the governor of this government. Didn't your majesty put the whistleblower box in the Shuntian government office?" Are you out? Your main task is to organize these whistleblowing letters and present them to the cabinet."

"."

Tang Yin's expression at this moment is really wonderful, that kind of grievance and helplessness are intertwined together like a little daughter-in-law who has been pissed off.

"Why don't you want to be the Governor of Shuntian?"

Xie Shen joked.

"No, of course I would. It's just an offending job."

Tang Yin thought in his heart that if he really submitted these reports to the cabinet, he would definitely offend the officials who were reported.But if he did not submit these letters of report, he would be colluding with the officials who were reported, and he might be wrathed by the emperor's thunder.

This is a dilemma.

Tang Yin pursed his lips, apparently weighing the pros and cons.

Xie Shen didn't rush him, just waited quietly.

In the end Tang Yin gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, since Siming thinks so much of me, I naturally can't do that ridiculous shrinking thing."

"Good brother! I saw you right!"

Xie Shen patted Tang Yin's shoulder and said with a happy smile.

"Hey, I'm stabbing you in the ribs for Siming. I'm afraid that you will get more than two black knives, and you will be poked into a bloody hole."

"Don't worry about that. In the worst case, I will send a request to His Majesty at that time, and I will give you some Jinyiwei to protect you. Then we will see which little thief dares to approach you. If there are those who are not interested, let Jinyiwei use the Xiuchun knife to kill them." Poke holes covered in blood."

Tang Yin burst out laughing when he heard the words: "Why is it so easy for Siming to say anything, as if he was playing."

Xie Shen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Attitude is very important. Hasn't Bohu heard that poor attitude makes you grow old?"

"This is really never heard of."

Tang Bohu smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty really thinks highly of Siming. As long as Siming pushes the matter, His Majesty will support it. Even the matter of appointing an official is just a word from Siming."

"You can't say that. I recommended you as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture because you have this qualification. The dignified number one scholar has gained qualifications in the Imperial Academy, even if he was promoted to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, there are not many people who object to it. Change to an ordinary Jinshi. not to be drowned in spit."
