Chapter 1051 Prestige
Zhang Juzheng's analysis was very correct. There were problems with the Metropolitan Procuratorate after Jiajing, but this was not a problem with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but a problem with the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom.

The rank of officials in the Ming Dynasty was generally not high, but there was nothing they could not control. This system was very advanced. At least in all the countries of the Ming Dynasty, no country had a supervisory organization like the Ming Dynasty.

But the same advanced supervisory organization also has a very serious disadvantage: rumors and rumors, this is the power given to them by Emperor Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, it is the essence and poison of the officials.

Rumors gave the officials the power to impeach officials if they heard anything at will, and the officials who were impeached could only be suspended and returned to their hometowns and wrote a letter after the officials' handbook was delivered to the court and they were not retained by the emperor. Self-identification.

That is to say, the official wrote a letter saying: Chen Mu is a big fool.

If this manuscript was not retained by the emperor, Chen Mu would have to write a letter to defend himself: Lun Chen Mu is not a big fool.

As small as the county magistrate, as large as the governor's department, and cabinet members, you have to go home and rest after a letter from the official, and you can go back to work after the court checks that everything is fine. There is no punishment for the official.

Because Emperor Taizu gave them the power to play by hearsay.

But Wanli felt that in his time, it was not possible.

"It's not that the rumors can't make things happen, it's that I can't."

In the Qianqing Palace, there was a small square table on the low dragon bed. Wanli crossed his legs and filled the three teacups on the table one by one with a teapot. I know this, but I only say that the officials' morale is bad."

In addition to Wanli, the participants of the dragon bed tea party in Qianqing Palace included King Lu and eunuch Wang An.

King Xiaolu stared at the teacup with sparkling eyes, and his legs were splayed; Wang An was sitting upright with his fly whisk in his hands. In fact, neither of them could understand what the emperor was talking about, nor could he understand what the emperor was thinking. , so he could only nod slowly in response to the emperor.

In this regard, Wang An, who is a few years older, is better than Lu Wang, and he can still talk to him: "Why did Grandpa say that?"

"It's rumored that it was decided by Grandpa Taizu, but there was such a problem in the year of Hongwu? No. Why did the atmosphere go bad when I came to my grandfather and father?"

Wanli is very good at finding questions, he asked and answered by himself: "The teacher only said that the atmosphere is bad, and all officials have problems, but this is not the reason why the officials have changed from doing things to today's party. There is no such reason in the world... He thought I didn't know, but I knew everything."

As he said that, the emperor who was sitting in all over the world whispered: "Because someone saw it, and saw that Mr. Xu Ge defeated Mr. Yan Ge with his words, and the teacher and Mr. Gao Ge defeated Mr. Xu with his words. Elder Ge, the teacher defeated Elder Gao again with words and officials."

"I have settled accounts for the Ministry of Officials, yes, it is the same as accounting for the Ministry of Households. At the beginning of each struggle, several groups of officials were convicted for their words; Once recommended and approved by the cabinet, re-entering the imperial court, the official position will be higher than before."

Wanli raised his eyebrows at King Lu, pushed the teacup over, and said, "I thought I didn't know, and they fought to break this atmosphere. Of course, it's not just the speech officials who have problems. Yanguan, it's not just Yanguan who gets rewarded afterwards."

"As long as the first one gets the reward, he will follow suit from then on. Originally, he would rather be a speech officer than stay in the capital as an official in the capital. Now no one is willing to be released. It is hard work to go outside. You only need to catch up with the cabinet once in the capital. Struggle, stand in the right position and you can rise to the fifth rank in a few years."

After all, Wanli's expression was extremely proud, the little boss raised his eyebrows, and said: "They don't know, I have my eyeliner, and I know everything!"

Don't look at the pride he said, in fact, he doesn't have any eyeliner. In fact, what he really wants to express is: I should also have my own eyeliner.

In fact, in Zhu Yuanzhang's plan, officials are naturally the emperor's eyeliner. These people are humble and powerful, young and energetic, without the disadvantages of officialdom for a long time, and they are righteous enough. But one day he still has to return to the ranks of civil servants.

They were born to be emperors.

Of course, the most important point is that any official will know what kind of person the emperor he serves is.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave the speech officials unprecedented power, but during the Hongwu period, it was precisely the era when the speech officials were most afraid to hear rumors... If there is no solid evidence, whoever dares to say anything in the court will be stripped and hanged Went to the gate of the yamen.

Zhu Di's era was similar, firstly, there was Taizu Yuwei, and secondly, this fourth uncle took care of all his nephews, so how could he be a fool.

The good official atmosphere has been maintained until Zhengde, and people are no longer afraid of severe punishments and harsh laws, but they can't control Wuzong; the real watershed is Jiajing.

The Taoist emperor's introverted temperament and mysterious manipulation of power caused the royal family to lose their natural eyes and ears.

"Now it's very difficult to win people's hearts back! I must first establish my prestige, and I start by letting the provinces study in Zhengxiu Primary School. Wang An, you go to the military room and get my little book...forget it , don’t take it, I remember it was more than 270.”

"Let the Ministry of Households build primary schools and roads at the same time. The government-run primary schools built will be different from social schools. They will learn from my textbooks and start new imperial examinations in two years... This is too long. The teacher is not in good health recently. I We have to get the power of the official department in hand before the teacher takes office."

From Wanli's point of view, Zhang Juzheng's retirement is an excellent time. Before he took office, he could not blatantly ask Zhang Juzheng for this power.

Therefore, he must obtain the power of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households within a period of time after Zhang Juzheng became an official, which means that his prestige must reach its peak.

There is no doubt about his words.

Regardless of the cabinet or the director of ceremonies.

After thinking for a long time, Wanli asked Wang An: "The supervisor of ceremonies is in charge of the eunuch. Is there any decent candidate in the palace? The teacher has retired, and Feng Dabaner has to go. I have someone to choose as the chief assistant of the cabinet, but the supervisor of ceremonies does not know how to do it." Who to use."

A decent candidate?This is too difficult for Wang An. There are quite a few decent eunuchs among the eunuchs. Maybe there are not many who are the supervisors of ceremonies, and they are all Feng Bao's people.

Before he could figure out who could do it, the emperor asked himself again: "Chen Ju can do it. He and Mr. Zhang Ge are both proficient in foreign affairs. They are really good candidates."

"Mr. Zhang Ge?" Wang An thought for a while before analyzing which Mr. Zhang Ge was. Among the cabinet ministers, only Zhang Han was involved in foreign affairs, and said, "I'm afraid Zhang Han is not the opponent of Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing." , Your Majesty will make them fight harder."

"It's okay, Zhang Ge doesn't have to fight with others when he gets old, as long as he can help me stand up for a year and a half. In a year and a half, I can gain prestige. What in this world is better than standing up Wuliangha Sanwei What about being able to stand up?"

　Good morning!I have been out of town for the past two days, and I will update it temporarily. I will make up for the missing updates when I get home. I hope you understand, thank you!
