Chapter 143: The game between ruler and minister

Zhu Houzhao didn't have much contact with Shen Lu, and most of them judged him by his actions. However, seeing him stand up and fight Liu Daxia at this time, Zhu Houzhao was still very satisfied in his heart.

No matter what happens, planning is very important, but operation is also very important. If Shen Lu dare not step in at this time, then this person is unqualified. In fact, Shen Lu himself should also understand that there is no turning back when shooting a bow. If it starts, then he has no way out. Once he chooses to change the world, he will not be able to wait until the change is completed.

Liu Daxia proposed starting with the third-grade civil servants, and then gradually moving downwards. If this was really the case, Shen Lu would not be able to wait until he was promoted downwards and would get out in despair.

"How can the imperial government stop eating because of choking!" Shen Lu said loudly: "What a violent disaster the Yangzhou case caused? The entire imperial court lost face. At this time, Liu Shangshu did not want to make policies for the country, but instead focused on the east and the west. Is this the way to be a minister? If officials criticize each other, why criticize each other? Since they are being criticized, there is something worthy of being criticized."

"If you stand upright, why should you be afraid of being impeached by others? The secret report is not for conviction, but for supervision. It is not that the secret report will not be investigated when it reaches the imperial court. The imperial court still has to investigate secretly."

"How can someone be accused of something that is not true? If the impeachment person makes false accusations, the court will naturally punish them."

The more Shen Lu spoke, the more excited he became, and his tone became more passionate. He turned to Zhu Youtang and bowed: "Your Majesty, I think that since the secret report has been opened, it cannot be a small matter and should be implemented nationwide. Officials of seventh grade and above from various places can submit secret reports. Officials from various places can also submit secret reports to the court. These people in the field can sometimes see more clearly than court officials."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Shen Lu, feeling more and more satisfied with this person. Zhu Houzhao had never thought of becoming a scholar, but Shen Lu brought him up.

You must know that being a powerful minister is not an easy task. The reason why Emperor Qianlong was accustomed to Heshen is actually very simple. That is because everything Emperor Qianlong entrusted to Heshen, no matter what it is, Heshen will never do it. I can do a nice job for you and be very obedient. As for the money He Shen embezzled, who will end up with it?

When Heshen falls, Jiaqing will be full. This sentence is not just talk. For example, in the salt policy this time, even if Shouning Hou and others did not turn over, the court would not be able to get the money.

Of course, such a strategy would not be used when the officials were governing the Qingming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao felt that Shen Lu could be used in the short term.

Liu Daxia was a little uncomfortable being scolded by Shen Lu, his face turned red, and Qiang argued to himself: "Even if it is a national policy, it must be foolproof. How can it be implemented haphazardly? If it is implemented by officials of the third rank or above, if it succeeds, it can be promoted to the whole world. If it fails, it can be promoted to the whole country." , then the losses can be minimized, so why not do it? I am telling you, Your Majesty, Nai Yin Kaizhong was once considered a good policy and good governance."

"But the facts have proved that it is not the case. If the policy of collecting money and opening up the country had been tried on a small scale, the imperial court would have realized that this policy was inappropriate and terminated it as soon as possible. How could it have caused such a disaster today?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Liu Daxia. Is this a special zone? Or should we say it is an experimental zone? This is of course a good idea, but it is not appropriate in this matter.

If it is related to the people's livelihood, this is naturally the best thing to do, not for speed, but for stability, but this is to rectify the administration of officials, which is inappropriate. As for what Liu Daxia said about criticizing each other, what he wants is for you to criticize each other.

Officials protect each other, so how can we play this game? You fight, rob, rob, this is what the emperor needs.

It doesn't matter whether your purpose in attacking an official is to secure his official position or out of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

Qi Huan, the prefect of Yangzhou, attacked Liu Qi, the Yangzhou transshipment envoy, naturally for Liu Qi's official position, but to the emperor, this was not important, because it helped the court uncover a corrupt official, which was enough. Once this happened

Once the system is established, then officials still dare to be as unscrupulous as they are now? Aren't you afraid that people who are eyeing your official position will report you?

Only under such circumstances will the administration of officials get better. Now the administration of officials in the Ming Dynasty is so bad that it is hard to say enough.

"Your Majesty, I think you should be cautious at this time!" At this time, the Minister of Revenue, Zhong Zhong, also stood up and said with a serious face.

As Tzu Zhong stood up, Minister of Punishment Min Gui also stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, so we should be more cautious!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the two people who stood up expressionlessly, then looked at the three cabinet bachelors, with a playful expression on his face. If what happened today was a coincidence, even Zhu Houzhao would not believe it even if he killed him.

. Glancing at the remaining three ministers, Zhu Houzhao wanted to know if these people would come forward. It would be fun if they also came forward.

However, these old foxes were obviously not as naive as Zhu Houzhao thought. The remaining three ministers stood motionless, showing no intention of expressing their opinions.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Ji Zhong. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was really risking his life. He had been charging forward these few times. It was obvious that Ji Zhong was cruel. Regarding the affairs of the Salt and Iron Department in the Ministry of Revenue, Ji Zhong

Zhong was now responsible. Just when Zhu Houzhao thought it was over, a man stood up, it was Xie Qian, the cabinet bachelor.

"Your Majesty, the secret report involves too many areas and has too great influence. We should find a place to try it first. I think we should treat it with caution." Xie Qian, the cabinet scholar, took a step forward and bowed.

At this time, General Secretary Shen Lu had a look of defeat on his face. He also knew that he was being targeted. He knew that this matter might be opposed, but he did not expect that it would be so fierce.

Three of the Six Ministers came out to object. Although the remaining three did not come out, they did not express their approval, which is obvious. Now Xie Qian, the cabinet scholar, has come forward again. What does this mean? This shows that the three ministers in the cabinet

A bachelor was also dissatisfied with himself. Shen Lu didn't think that this was the will of Xie Qian alone. This should be the will of the entire cabinet.

Under such circumstances, Shen Lu was not surprised at all that His Majesty agreed with their statement. Once His Majesty agreed with their approach, he would not be able to serve as an envoy for long. Thinking of this, Shen Lu suddenly felt despair.

Zhu Houzhao also looked at Xie Qian, and at the same time at Liu Jian and Li Dongyang. If they were not involved in this matter, there would be something wrong. None of these old foxes are easy to deal with. Now it depends on what dad wants.

What to do? If you really agree to these old foxes, then your plan will be in vain, and at the same time, you will let them overwhelm the emperor. This is a coercion.
