Two-fifty-eight garrison soldiers ride out of Xiaoqiang (9)

"Bureaut..." Zhu Cixuan said two words and chuckled lightly: "People are overly greedy and abused the law. They fight for profits when they see them, and give in if they don't... If these people are in my hands, they will never be lenient. But there are countless people in the court, so I can only avoid the enemy's edge."

Li Yuzhi nodded as if he was asleep. After a long time, he said, "The old minister was born in the 44th year of Jiajing. Before the tenth year of Wanli, he was just a student and was a child. In the 28th year, he was appointed as the magistrate of Dongming. At that time, the old minister's biggest headache was to pass the exam."

Zhu Cilang knew that it was easy for the elderly to go off the ground and couldn't grasp the key points when speaking, and did not urge him to just let the elderly officials recall slowly. Moreover, being able to listen to the voices of past times in person is also a life experience that is hard to come by.

"Then the exam will be a good test," Li Yu sighed, "It's just ordinary in the text. It's just to ask officials to list what they want to do this year, and then submit it to the six ministries, the Censorate, the Six ministries and the Censorate. The Six ministries and the Censorate will have to be assessed monthly, and the Six ministries will be tested every six months. The Cabinet will also check when inspecting Beijing. When it really checks, it will be subject to the "limited assessment, and it's clear at a glance." It seems that all your body is stripped of its own. It's really tormenting.

"Haha, the old minister is so confused. The way Qiansui travels to the East Palace is a test of the method, so there is definitely no need for the old minister to explain it."

"You always say, I'm happy to listen." Zhu Cilang smiled. He has been studying this method of examination in his past and present lives. The more he continues to study, the more he feels it looks like the performance appraisal in the Ming Dynasty.

While marveling at the fact that Zhang Juzheng is really a genius, we cannot ignore the reasonable surname constructed by Zhang Juzheng's previous administrative framework.

When Zhang Ju was promoting the examination and preparation method, he quoted a lot of "old system", and he emphasized "declaring the old chapter" rather than "new policy". It can be seen that as long as someone would preside over the leadership and his subordinates were willing to do their best, the operational efficiency of the empire was still very efficient. Later generations liked to put everything on the head of the system, which was really unreasonable in the Ming Dynasty.

If we do not mention Zhang Juzheng's successful counter-proof, just by carefully examining the political situation of the Ming Dynasty, we can also see the scientific surnames.

As the eyes and ears of the court, there are censors from the central government to the local government, from ordinary administration to special administration - such as learning, salt inspection, tea horses, etc. Moreover, the censors are vertical leaders, and the lower censors do not have to be responsible to administrative bureaucrats, and they will not be managed. This is enough to ensure the fair reading of the censors.

For the central system of the head of the empire, six reading responsibilities were set up, and the chief ministers were responsible for sealing the seal and had the power to refute the emperor's imperial edicts. At the same time, the "scientific copy" and "scientific review" in the work of the work were to inspect the internal affairs of the six departments. In addition, there was "revoked": the imperial edicts and memorials were each submitted to the cabinet for filing. Only after the relevant departments had implemented the decree and the memorials were checked, they were cancelled.

If the six departments shall follow the rules of the council, and promulgate the decree, report major matters and promulgate minor matters; if there is any fault, they may be sealed and reported. If there is any written or written form in the internal and external form, they shall be copied out in a classified manner, and shall be submitted to the office to correct the violations.

Having these two sets of immune systems operate at the same time is enough to ensure the stability and health of the political system.

In the local area, the commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander commander command

In Zhu Cixuan's opinion, this is already the most complete system in this era. The common struggle between "separation of powers" and "one political power" in later generations also had political practice in the Ming Dynasty: you only need to look at the cabinet's power struggle and the governor's system, and you can know it.

Why did such a good system make a mess today?

Zhu Cixuan believes that this has a direct relationship with the cabinet and the emperor.

It was not a problem for Emperor Wanli to attend court, but the problem was that he did not replenish his official positions. A large number of officials who had not been trained and trained went onto the political stage in the Apocalypse and Chongzhen dynasties. They neither understood the operational model of the empire nor were eliminated after political tests, and they could not even understand that politics was the art of compromise, which eventually led to the collapse of the empire.

After the success of the cabinet, it changed from a secretariat to the real head of the empire, with even more power than the prime ministers of the Tang and Song dynasties. If they were [***], then the entire empire's political system would have to follow. And the cabinet of the Chongzhen dynasty was also the most unparalleled in the Ming Dynasty.

Why didn't this happen in the previous dynasty?

Because of the Tianqi and Chongzhen, there were only two ways to enter the cabinet: the court and the Zhongtuan. Until the late Wanli period, the Zhongtuan was still regarded as a shame and the civil servants refused to accept it easily. This added a filtering system to ensure that the cabinet members had sufficient influence on the administrative department.

During the Age of the Revelation, Wei Zhongxian was in charge of the emperor's way to enter the cabinet. When Emperor Chongzhen arrived, changing the cabinet masters was like changing the servants. Later, the court recommendation was even cancelled and the imperial edict was issued directly. What binding force could the cabinet masters in this way have on the six ministries and localities? The myth of the fact that the cabinet masters had been in the cabinet for more than ten years had only occurred in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

So in the final analysis, the responsibility still falls on the emperor.

"In the Wanli period, until Mr. Shen was in power, the administration was still acceptable." Li Yuzhi continued: "Later, the dispute over the foundation of the country was too fierce. The temple master did not attend court or make up for the officials, and the court was empty and there was no successor. When the Tianqi Dynasty flocked to him again, the entire court was in chaos and became the source of party struggles."

Zhu Cilang nodded, feeling that Li Yuzhi's views were the same as him, but Dazai didn't dare to accuse the emperor.

"In the 40th year of Wanli, the old minister was in Taiyuan and recommended Zou Yuanbiao, Feng Congwu and others." Li Yuzhi suddenly smiled and said, "If Feng Congwu is lucky enough to see Your Highness, he will be relieved. He can be said to be the first person to succeed Zhang Zi Daotong in our dynasty. The old minister also regrets your nobles. He wants to worship Guanxue, but he cannot be a true scholar like me."

"It's okay," Zhu Cilang said: "As long as I loosen the soil, I will always grow a great scholar."

Li Yuzhi smiled happily, his eyes were pitch black, like a naughty boy. After laughing, he said annoyedly: "The old minister is old and confused, and I don't know where to go. Or is it that the test has been completed, as long as the upper and lower levels stick to the complexity and never slack, there will be no government that cannot be eradicated. It's just that Da Zhang Gong offended many people because of this, and the old ministers and mediocre people dare not do unique things. They waste their time on this heavenly official position and wasted national affairs. When they think about it, they feel guilty."

As Li Yuzhi spoke, tears had already flowed out. Zhu Cixuan got up and took the brocade handkerchief from the desk, handed it to Li Yuzhi for him to wipe it.

"Your Highness is excited and proficient in the examination. In the eyes of the old minister, it is not inferior to the ability of the Grandpa Da Zhang." Li Yuzhi sighed: "To be honest, the old minister does not believe in those who are born to know. Even if the famous minister is like Xu and Zhang, if he did not have the tempering of Yan Song during his reign, he would definitely not be able to achieve great things later. Your Highness made the old minister change his old views and convince him."

"I didn't have the experience of today in one go," Zhu Cilang said the truth.

Li Yuzhi only thought Zhu Cilang was humble, and smiled slightly, and said, "The old minister was in front of leaving Laizhou and was able to see you. The emperor meant that if the Eastern Palace was willing to return the official position to the cabinet department, the position of the Heavenly Officer and the Grand Priest would be recommended by His Highness, and it would not be a problem to come to the cabinet."

This is political transaction.

Zhu Cilang breathed a sigh of relief. If his Eastern Palace system is compared with the Ming Dynasty, the attendants' office is like six departments, the Finance Department is equal to the Department, and the Ten-person Group is the Jinyiwei; Wu Yan and Sun Chuanting are considered to have entered the cabinet; Liu Ruoyu is equal to the Sili Supervisor; Tian Cunshan is the military supervisor... It is impossible to say that although this team is efficient, it is too simple and cannot be seen on the table.

Because of the existence of this shadow political axe, the emperor must have a thorn in his heart.

Only the ministers in the southern capital would say that the Eastern Palace had the thoughts of Cao Cao, Wang Mang, Empress Lü, Wu Zetian, Li Heng and other predecessors.

"I have some concerns about the people of the Eastern Palace and others in my hands. Once I become a resigned official in the Ministry of Personnel, I will be defeated by the officialdom." Zhu Cixuan said.
