Chapter 115: Virtuous Government (1)
This sentence is quite unspeakable and interesting.
For scholars such as Xie Jin and even Fang Xiaoru, although sometimes they have different opinions and positions, they have a common understanding of their own identity, that is, they claim to be a scholar.
The role of scholars is to be useful to the people of the country and the country. No matter whether they can do it or not, they will work in this direction. In addition, scholars should also be cautious in their words and deeds, be honest, magnanimous, stubborn and tenacious, not flattering and cater to their interests, not to regard their personal morality as mentioned by the ancients.
Xie Jin did not belittle Li Zhigang from other aspects, such as in terms of ability, but in terms of character, which means that this person's personal morality is not very good.
The word "private morality is a fatal flaw for an official in this era. But on the other hand, such talented but not virtuous people are actually the best helper in the hands of the king.
You can leave anything to him with confidence, because in order to get praise from the king and gain a higher position of power, he will step on other people's heads like crazy.
On the other hand, when the king is tired of using it in the future, or in order to calm the anger of the public, he only needs the four words "private morality" to be detrimental to him, and he can be thrown into the abyss and will never be restored.
The emperor's mind has always been like this, and it is not the emperor's ruthlessness.
The emperor is different from ordinary people. An ordinary person definitely doesn’t like such profit-oriented people here. If you don’t like it, you won’t get close to you. If you don’t like it, you won’t interact with you. If you walk on your Yangguan Road, I will walk on my single-plank bridge. If you are prosperous, you won’t take care of me, and if I am poor, you won’t beg you.
This kind of human and free and direct and pure communication method does not work with the emperor, because everyone in the world is different. Some people are both virtuous and talented, some are virtuous but not talented, some are talented but have impure goals, and some are naturally treacherous. The emperor has no way to change anyone, what he wants to do is how to use these people well.
"Some things are supposed to take the blame for Pangpang, but now it seems that he has found a good helper for Pangpang!"
A ray of setting sun quietly reflected into the window and fell on half of Zhu Yunxiu's face.
The strange smile on his face made Xie Jin, who was standing in front of him, stand up all the hairs on his back.
As an old minister of the Eastern Palace who has accompanied Zhu Yunsheng for many years, he has figured out the temperament of this emperor. Whenever the emperor has such an expression, he will probably not be able to hold back anything.
"I just told Mr. Li about something!" Zhu Yunxiu said softly, "Let him count the number of untouchables in the world." As he said, he sighed and smiled, "I have been clear and clear in China since the Ming Dynasty and Yuan dynasties, and revitalizing the Han rituals. But some things have not been done perfectly, and some evil policies of the previous dynasty have been passed down."
When Xie Jin heard this, he pondered for a moment, "Does the emperor want to give those untouchables and people a good person?" He said, "The people in the world, no matter the rich and poor, are the emperor's people, so how can they distinguish between noble and humble people? If the emperor really pardons the poor and bad government, it is the blessing of the world, the happiness of the subjects, and the blessing of my great ming!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "I have this intention. But is this matter always a reason!"
Xie Jin heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and said immediately, "I will submit a memorial tomorrow!" As he said that, he suddenly frowned slightly, "Releasing the body of a good man in the country is just a matter of the emperor's words, but the follow-up is very difficult? How can these people be placed? They are not able to study in the imperial examinations, and they are afraid that they are unable to work and business. Where will the fields come from if they farm?"
This is a really smart person, and you can learn from it in a moment!
Releasing the untouchables is equivalent to making the Ming Dynasty more populous. The proper placement of these populations is the most important thing to win the hearts of the people. However, resettlement of these people will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among a large number of people.
"So, there are people who are talented and persevering in this matter to help the court execute it well!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled, "Who do you think can be competent?"
Who else could it be?
Almost instantly, a name appeared in Xie Jin's mind, Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites.
But then he felt bitter again, and the emperor's skills became more and more perfect.
If you recommend Li Zhigang, there will be light on your face if you do it well, but if you don’t, your recommender will be jointly and severally responsible. The most important thing is that once Li Zhigang becomes the target of public criticism in the future, he will be the first to hit the gun and point it at Li Zhigang and write a hard copy.
"I think Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, is very competent!" Xie Jin said bitterly.
Zhu Yunxiu looked at him, as if guessing the other party’s little thoughts, and smiled faintly, "The Minister of Rites is enough, and the Ministry of Rites still manages the world's education. It's worthy of his name." As he said that, he paused, "But, is he alone a little weak?"
"Who else do you want?"
Xie Jin was shocked. A servant was weak, so he needed someone older than the servant. Who?
At this time, Zhu Yunxiu continued, "You, although your official position is not as good as the Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice, you are the counselor and minister of the Nanshufang. You must look at the overall situation for a long time. Some things need to be looked up, but you cannot always look down!"
Xie Jin was even more ignorant. Looking up meant to say another person who was older than Li Zhigang?
"If you always look down, wouldn't you be distracted if you have any problems in the future?" Zhu Yunxi teased with a smile.
Xie Jin thought for a long time and said, "I am ignorant and I really don't know why. Please make it clear!"
Being smart is smart, but still not transparent!
Zhu Yunxiu thought to himself that things are not comprehensive enough and cannot meet the national prime minister's standards.
But then again, if Xie Jin was really the kind of person who knew whatever the emperor said, Zhu Yunxiu might not have valued cultivation so much.
"Let the untouchables benevolent as a good man is my first virtue since I ascended the throne. Do you think that a minister is enough to take on a great responsibility for such a big thing? This is not a state affairs involving a million people!" Zhu Yunxiu continued, "If a minister can be responsible for such a matter, then what should I do to build a study in the south? Why do you choose to be a counselor?"
"The other candidate is chosen from the Nanshu Room?" Xie Jin suddenly understood, but hesitated in his heart and said to himself, "Who? Qian Zhao is willing to do this, but that person is afraid that he will do it in a mess. Duke of Wei? Duke of Cao?"
Thinking in his heart, he suddenly understood.
He opened his mouth and said, "What the emperor said is very true. I think that His Highness, the Prince of Yan, is a quick-witted, steady and generous person, is also a close relative of the royal family. It is not only the emperor's virtues, but also the general principles of the royal family, but also the right ones to change the name and will inevitably have less resistance!"
This idiot is not stupid enough to be very stupid, and finally got his idea.
Zhu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction, "Okay!" and said, "Do you think I asked you to recommend Li Zhigang, ha! You are a counselor of the Nanshufang, staring at a minister? That's all your courage?"
Xie Jin suddenly felt warm in his heart, "Emperor!"
"You come and submit the memorial and recommend the Prince of Yan, the counselor of the Nanshu, as the chief minister of the Ministry of Rites, as the assistant minister!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled and joked, "Are you afraid that he can't bear the responsibility of a minister, as well as the uncle?"
"The emperor made me feel ashamed!" Xie Jin was so grateful.
How could he not understand? He was wrong about the emperor's meaning just now, and now he also understood even more that the emperor's actions were full of protection for him.
Let him submit a memorial to suggest eliminating the evil policies of untouchables, which is to give him a political achievement that can stand up straight in the Nanshufang, and a starting point for making a sound in the government and the public, so that he, the counselor of the Nanshufang, can become a figure standing side by side with the other six ministers of the Secretariat.
The emperor valued and trusted him by the recommendation of ministers.
"You and Dingshi were my companions in the past." Zhu Yunyu continued, "How different is it to me if you use it? But you are a bit crazy and unruly in nature, and letting you enter the Nanshuo is to temper your character. Since it is to temper you, how can I make you embarrassed?"
"Go and do it well. I will train you to help me as soon as possible! With your talent as a great gentry, you will be a precious Hanlin for the rest of your life. Isn't it a waste of talent?"
