However, after writing, Zhu Yunxi did not immediately hand the written edict to Wang Sha, but read it carefully.
If he didn't give it, Wang Sha didn't dare to accept it, let alone take a look at the imperial case.
In fact, he was just an errand boy, and the edict was only conveyed through his hands to the imperial edict officials outside.
And He Guangyi lowered his head and looked at his toes quietly from the moment Zhu Yunxi picked up the pen.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the oracle in his hand for a moment, then suddenly compiled the written oracle into a ball, and then picked up the pen again.
"The deputy generals and military officers from all over the country, the commanders of all the departments, the commanders, the magistrates, and others came to the capital in turn to have an audience!"
Although there is only one word difference between this holy edict and the one I wrote just now, the meaning they represent is completely different.
Zhu Yunxi did not meet the generals but wanted to meet their deputies. This move was very intriguing and thought-provoking.
As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, the current local chief secretaries and other frontier officials, and the general military officers guarding each border are still the same people as when the old man was here.
It's not that Zhu Yunxi is not at ease with them, but that he still lacks a certain understanding of these people. To be more precise, he has lacked an intuitive understanding of specific local affairs since he ascended the throne.
If you meet the chief officer, you won't be able to ask anything. They will inevitably avoid the important and take the easy. But if you meet their deputy, it represents something invisible and gives them a signal.
If you do your job well and disobey me, if I don't like you, I will naturally replace you with your deputy.
The top and second-ranking leaders in the world are not all harmonious. They are all at odds with each other and are suspicious of each other.
This is the emperor's mentality, and it is also the method of the superior.
When the ink on the rice paper was slightly dry, Zhu Yunxi folded it, put it in a bright yellow box, and said, "Have someone send it to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and the Ministry of War will keep a copy for your records!"
"According to the order!" Wang Shai took the box with both hands and bowed out.
Although I haven't thought about it yet, we must take precautions for the military problem. Historically, it was precisely because of the collapse of the Ming Guard system that the recruitment system was implemented, so soldiers were recruited as generals.
By the late Ming Dynasty, the number of people on the army roster was used by the generals as free money. And the soldiers recruited became the generals' servants and godsons.
"In the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to be in Beijing all the time!" Zhu Yunxi looked at He Guangyi again and said softly.
"I will go wherever the Lord asks me to go!" He Guangyi said hurriedly.
"You still don't know that I have promoted you." Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, and continued to say when He Guangyi looked at him in astonishment, "I have issued an order to see the Yamen of the Integrity Yuan."
"This yamen is aimed at the administration of officials. Bao Zhao is the official and you are the minister. Although the rank has not changed, the power is different!"
Hearing these words, He Guangyi suddenly understood.
His royal guards only have the power of spying, and arresting people requires the emperor's tacit approval. Moreover, their main function is actually the emperor's dogs. When the emperor is dissatisfied with someone, they will jump out and bite him severely.
After all, it's not fair.
The Integrity Council is aimed at the administration of officials, which can be grasped, tried, judged or sentenced.
In other words, He Guangyi will truly transform from the emperor's eagle dog to a minister of the Ming Dynasty.
The world praises eagles and dogs for their loyalty, but how many people with eagles and dogs have died a good death throughout the ages? Especially the emperor's eyes and ears like Jin Yiwei, the more they know, the faster they die. But once you really become a minister of the country, not only will your identity change, but you will also be able to
Descendants of Rongyin.
"Your Majesty!" He Guangyi swallowed slightly, "I have nothing to repay for the kindness of the Emperor, the Emperor, and the Empress."
"I don't want you to repay your kindness, just do your job well!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the other party gently, "You and I, the king and my ministers, must always have a beginning and an end!"
"Your Majesty!" He Guangyi knelt down and kowtowed, with tears streaming down his face.
"Why are you crying?" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "If you have talent, I will use you. If you have no talent, even if you are an old man from the East Palace, I will not look at you differently. Get up, sit down and talk to me."
"I have read the memorial you gave me in Xi'an four or five times." Zhu Yunxi took out another memorial from the drawer of the imperial cabinet, "The above sentence is very good! The market is bustling under the peace and prosperity of the country, but Xiao Xiaoan colludes rampantly.
Officials exercise power and bring blessings, and although the people's livelihood is beautiful, there are still those who have no way to seek help and suffer humiliation."
"If you can see this, you are worthy of my reuse!"
"Everyone else has seen the prosperous age, but even if they saw it, they pretended not to see it, let alone take it seriously. In my opinion, this trend must not rise. Otherwise, in the future, there will be small officials and big corruption, small evil and big treachery."
"Bao Zhao will be returning to Beijing in the next few days. You and he should go out and discuss how to get rid of these Ming Dynasty scoundrels vigorously and resolutely. Remember, to eliminate evil, you must remove the grass and roots!"
"I obey the order!" He Guangyi gritted his teeth and said, "Thousands of households in Jinyiwei Town Prefectures everywhere know about the local troubles. I asked them to report them one by one." He said, his eyes narrowed, "Be quick and severe."
"I'll rest assured when you do something!" Zhu Yunxi said in approval, "Just go ahead and do it, I'll support you!"
These words made He Guangyi extremely grateful.
"It is always said that the world is peaceful, but when you open your eyes and look carefully, there are problems everywhere!" Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, "In the court, there are chicken feathers everywhere. My army, which has always been relatively safe, has also deserted.
thing."
"Actually..." He Guangyi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Although I have never been in the army, I know some things about the army."
"The deserters are mainly from the garrison, and deserters from the border army only account for a small number."
Zhu Yunxi looked at him, "Oh, why did you say that?"
"The border army attaches great importance to military merit. The generals who lead the troops in battle will not be too harsh on the soldiers. Not only are the rewards issued by the court not withheld, but the spoils obtained from the war are also tacitly allowed to be divided among the soldiers!"
"But it's different in the garrison. The soldiers in the garrison need important land, and the land is not all theirs, so the matter of exploitation and extortion is..."
"And the military pay is on..."
He Guangyi said, then secretly looked at Zhu Yunxi's face, and said bravely, "How dare the generals of the border army deduct their pay? Their military achievements depend on the efforts of their subordinates. Besides, the border army has a wild temper. In the ten years of Hongwu,
, a general in Datong colluded with the censor and deducted 20% of the pay of his soldiers. As a result, Uncle Qiu stripped him of his clothes and hung him from a tree."
"If the commander-in-chief of Datong had not handled it properly, I am afraid that it would have caused a roar in the camp. Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor was so angry that he chopped off the heads of more than 30 officials in Datong."
"And the guards are hereditary from the commanding officer to the hundreds of households. To put it bluntly, the principal members of the guard and their family members are just like their tenants."
"These hereditary officers of the guard station have great power. Even if a few people die, they can be checked in the military register at will. Even if the final number is wrong, there will be criminal chiefs issued by the Ministry of Punishment every year who will be sent to the army to top up the number."
"Those who were sent to the army and whose families were rich would be beaten and exploited by them."
Zhu Yunxi listened quietly and said nothing.
It wasn't until He Guangyi finished speaking that he smiled and said, "Actually, I know all these things, and so do the courtiers, but no one told me."
The situation He Guangyi mentioned is not just a day or two. To be precise, it can be regarded as a chronic disease of all dynasties, and it is not unique to the Ming Dynasty.
On weekdays, military pay is deducted as much as possible, and as little as possible. During wars, military pay is fully paid to boost morale.
All the abuses and bad habits in the prosperous age seem insignificant, but after all, the prosperous age will pass one day, and then they will break out, and everything will be the cause of the country's destruction.
Only after becoming emperor did I understand why the ancients said that governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.
Because there are some things that you really need to be careful about, and they are extremely trivial.
"You just came back, are you tired?" Zhu Yunxi suddenly asked.
"I'm not tired!"
"Then come with me for a walk!" Zhu Yunxi came down from the cave and just stretched out his feet when He Guangyi came over to put on his shoes, "Come on, let's go out of the palace and walk around!"
