over ten thousand people

After Yuanzheng, Renri, and Shangyuan, because the first month is the beginning of a year, the dark days at the end of the month are usually regarded as festivals.At that time, the spring was sunny and the willows were green with smoke. The folk festivals and customs were usually three things: offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, drinking wine and dressing clothes, and sending off the five poor.Putting it on the emperor, it is to give a banquet to the officials, and to write poems when they are in a good mood.

Or eat, or write poetry...

I deeply feel that the entertainment activities at this time are too poor.I have already given two banquets, and I will give it a third time in just one month... I really want to go on strike, but if I really go on strike, I am afraid that all the ministers will have opinions, so I plan to use the previous compromise method to give Baiguan Dao The ruler is.Moreover, the dark day of the first month is a festival that emphasizes agricultural work; winter goes to spring, and the holiday is enough, and it is time to start working.

The first item on the list is the upcoming spring plowing.Secretary of Agriculture is in charge of specific affairs, and all officials generally present agricultural books ceremonially.But since Xie Jingyu told me that the Grand Canal can be repaired as early as next year, I feel that the tax can be lowered.I really want to promote the world's water conservancy, but the project is huge and there is no rush. We still have to consider enriching the people first.

As for the second, it has nothing to do with farming.After the turmoil in the previous dynasty, many historical books and the like were lost.For this reason, the father established the Hongwen Library; while collecting all the books in the world, it also recruited talents from all over the world.Now that the Huns are gone, Zhenhe should pick up this matter and hand it over to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials along with this year's spring test——

The majestic Zhongshu Province, there are not many people who use it smoothly, is it plausible?

Finally, there is the administration of officials.Although judging from Zhou Bubi's situation, the administration of officials in this dynasty is still clear, but we have to guard against the erroneous things.Everything seems to be on the right track, if it is ruined by others, it will be a great loss, and I am really sorry for the foundation laid by my father.Moreover, I am not very familiar with the local officials, so I should send someone down to investigate, so that I can have an overall picture.

With a preliminary idea, I called Si Nongqing, several ministers, doctor Yushi and others one by one to inquire.After roughly confirming the feasibility, I will call several prime ministers together to discuss and determine the content of the imperial edict.

Needless to say, Wang Ruojun has no objections. "Your Majesty's talent and strategy, and his hard work are truly a blessing in the world."

Cao Ju, the servant, is as his name suggests, and his duties and rules are too good to be true.Back then when I wanted to send party leaders to fight the Xiongnu, most of the government and the opposition opposed it, and he didn't say a word, so naturally he wouldn't have any objections at this time.

Zhongshu Ling is now vacant, so there is no need to ask for opinions.Therefore, I set my sights on Xie Jingyu who is under Wang Ruojun's seat. "What advice does Xie Xiang have?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your enquiry." Xie Jingyu said respectfully, and then continued: "Whether it is light taxation or emphasizing culture and education, I think it is very good. The only thing I can do is to rectify the administration of officials. I have some ideas."

After all, he has "convicted records", so I couldn't help but glance at Zhou Bubi who was specially allowed to attend. "tell me the story."

"According to His Majesty's wishes, each province will send an official from the capital to inspect the prefectures and counties it belongs to, investigate the official positions, have the right to recommend and dismiss, and deal with some offenders without reporting. This will indeed increase the prestige of the inspectors and make local officials It is daunting to look at, but I think that the power of life and death is in the hands of one person, even if he tries his best to be fair, it may be biased."

"That's right," I followed the good advice, "Then Mr. Xie thinks, how to avoid this disadvantage?"

"At first, I wanted to send two more people together to make decisions together. However, the inspectors are away all the year round, and Yushitai does not have so many people to transfer. Therefore, I thought that relevant officials could be dispatched from various places to make Yushitai It will be more convincing to teach for three months or half a year, and then draw lots separately, and follow the Beijing officials to other paths."

This means cross law enforcement!

Of course I know this.But I am the emperor after all, I can't do everything by myself, I always have to leave some room for my courtiers to play. "Mr. Xie's words are very true." I praised, and then turned to the other two, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Cao, if I have any shortcomings, you should speak up boldly like Mr. Xie."

Both Wang Ruojun and Cao Ju agreed.But I know that the chances of the two of them doing so are slim—after they get older, ministers think more about retirement and retirement; direct remonstrance may violate my taboo, and they are naturally reluctant to take the risk.However, telling them is equivalent to telling all officials, and it is not a waste of words.

"In addition, I have another suggestion." Xie Jingyu said again.

It's not finished yet?I was suddenly a little surprised.I didn't leave so many holes for him to fill just now... "Then continue."

"Since your Majesty is determined to govern the officials clearly and clearly, apart from relying on the Ministry of Officials and the Yushitai, who are supposed to be responsible for this, you must also do it yourself. Now that there are vacancies for the chief and deputy of the Central Secretariat, it is a great opportunity for Your Majesty to display it."

"Huh?" I was really curious.

"Your Majesty thinks that your majesty can order Beijing officials of the fifth rank or above to take turns to stay in Zhongshu Province. As long as your majesty has leisure, you can meet with the court at any time to inquire about the sufferings of the people and the gains and losses of governance. In this way, all officials should be self-sufficient. able."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ruojun, Cao Ju, and Zhou Bubi all stared at Xie Jingyu, let alone me.Because these words are indeed a bit daydream-on the surface, I have more things to do; is it implying behind the scenes that the rest of the Zhongshu Province are not so useful?Or, local officials are supervised by inspectors, and central officials should be inspected by me in addition to being supervised by Yushitai?

I couldn't help but take another look at Zhou Bubi.His face was full of surprise, and there was also a hint of admiration that couldn't be concealed.But Wang Ruojun and Cao Ju were so shocked that they could hardly speak.

Anyway, it's a good thing for me, except for being tired.For the rest of the officials in the DPRK and China, they should be more cautious in doing things.As for Xie Jingyu himself... If this matter gets out, the civil and military officials of the whole court will probably slander him for causing trouble for his colleagues, and he will definitely offend a large number of people.

Everyone here can think of the above points, no wonder the expressions of Wang Ruojun and Cao Ju.But I have to think a little more-

Before I showed appreciation for Zhou Bubi, Xie Jingyu was a little jealous.But when things came to an end, he was still thinking about the fact that there was no one available in Zhongshu Province.No matter how many people he will offend, no matter whether I will appreciate more people, he can't stop him from admonishing me to select officials.

This person is really...

"What Mr. Xie said is exactly what I think." I said, "That's the way it is."

Xie Jing thanked himself foolishly.Wang Ruojun and Cao Ju looked at each other and said that His Majesty is wise and mighty.

"But this matter is only known to the five people in Lingyan Pavilion today." I reminded them again, "If anyone else asks, you have to say, this is what I mean."

Xie Jingyu raised his head violently.He was a little surprised, but a little disapproved. "Your Majesty, you..."

I reckoned that he was going to object right away—since it was an offending matter, he would rather bear it himself—so I interrupted in advance: "I've made a deal, so it's a deal."

Probably because I was too decisive, Xie Jingyu stared at me blankly, speechless for a moment.I didn't give him time to continue to argue, so the three of them withdrew, leaving only Zhou Bubi to draft an edict.

Probably because Zhou Bubi was drafting the edict this time because he attended the whole discussion.Just put pen to paper and it's done, just copy it once.I looked at the final draft and was quite satisfied, so I praised him a few words.

Zhou Bubi won my praise, but he didn't seem particularly happy.I caught a glimpse and asked him why.

"I just realized today that compared with Xie Xiangyi, I still have many shortcomings." Zhou Bubi replied, with a look of hatred for his incompetence, "Xie Xiang is the real capable minister. I heard people say that Xie Xiangguo Wushuang also exaggerated. After today, I am really convinced."

I couldn't help laughing. "Just learn a little later."

Zhou Bubi respectfully agreed, and said: "It is also my honor to serve Your Majesty."

"Why?" Although I roughly guessed what he wanted to say, I still asked.

"Xie Xiang proposed this suggestion so that His Majesty could use someone, and even took the risk of offending all the courtiers. However, His Majesty didn't say anything, but he thought of this and relieved Xie Xiang's hidden worries. If you serve the Holy King, you are naturally a minister. Sansheng is lucky."

Even though he was right, I still smirked. "Do you know that what you said is a false test of the king's heart?"

Zhou Bubi knelt down immediately. "Of course I know. But I also know that if Your Majesty is so wise and sympathetic to you, you will never punish him for this."

"Okay, you mean I'm used to your bad temper?" I was annoyed and funny.

"I don't dare, I just told the truth." Zhou Bubi said, and kowtowed deeply, "If Your Majesty wishes that I will always tell the truth, it will be the luck of the minister and the world."

Again?

I am really convinced by Zhou Bubi.He speaks straight, but not rashly; the proportion is difficult to grasp, but he has a good balance. "You can just talk casually, don't keep giving me a high hat."

Zhou Bubi is still serious. "What I said comes from the bottom of my heart, so how can it be related to Gao Hat?"

"...won't you wake me up?" I was almost speechless, I really couldn't continue to talk to him anymore.

Zhou Bubi didn't move. "However, there is still one thing I don't know."

I couldn't help but glared at him.If you don't break the casserole and ask the end, you won't get up, right..."Speak!"

"If your Majesty wants to take on this matter, aren't you afraid that the ministers will say that your Majesty is harsh?" Zhou Bubi said, his voice was inexplicably softer than usual, "I'm afraid that's what I mean when I see that Prime Minister Xie wants to object."

I was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Zhou Bubi had said so much, but he was still worried for me. "I want to ask you, if you want to stay overnight in Zhongshu Province, see the court at any time, and inquire about the sufferings of the people and the gains and losses of governance, are you afraid?"

Zhou Bubi shook his head. "I am a member of Zhongshushe, and this matter is my duty."

"Is this why you think the ministers may complain? If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government?"

Zhou Bubi was a little stunned when he heard the meaning of my rhetorical question. "Your Majesty means..."

I don't have to wait for him to finish asking. "This is not the only thing. Think about it, I am the Son of Heaven, I have worked hard and have no complaints, how can I be a courtier who doesn't know what is good or bad? Besides, if I have real talents and practical learning, why should I be afraid to ask you in person? I'm afraid I can't wait Show your fists in front of me as soon as possible. Only..." I glanced at him and didn't continue.

"Only an incompetent person with a dead body and a vegetarian meal will be afraid and complain." Zhou Bubi said, his eyes brightened, "I understand. Your Majesty really has a plan, and I can't wait for you." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed deeply again, He took the imperial edict and withdrew.

I am the only one left in Lingyan Pavilion.The breeze passed by suddenly, and a row of portraits of heroes hanging on the wall moved lightly.I got up and approached, looking at the people above one by one.Most of them are the courtiers of the father, and they either passed away or returned to their hometowns; but I estimate that it won't take too long for new faces to jump into their ranks.
