In the cabinet, Liu Jin is sitting upright and working. As a young cabinet minister, he naturally has to do more things, especially since his partner Liu Jian is an eighty-year-old man, and he is currently planning to do more.
I have also returned to my hometown for retirement in two years.
Eighty is rare in ancient times, and very few people have lived to be eighty since ancient times. He not only lived to eighty, but also served as the chief minister of the cabinet for many years. It can be said that he is definitely at the peak of his life.
His body has always been quite strong, which is very good. It is better than that of Li Dongyang, a young man in his sixties, but he is already eighty, and no one knows how long he can live. He does not want to lose all his peripheral vision.
Used in government affairs.
I have been the chief minister of the cabinet for many years. I have tasted enough power and have no regrets.
In addition, with the development of colonialism and capitalism, Ming's technology is also advancing by leaps and bounds, and all kinds of new things are constantly emerging. This also makes Liu Jian feel that he is getting older and can no longer adapt to the times.
, I have long had the intention to retire, that is, I am just greedy for the power in my hands.
As for Li Dongyang, his health had never been good and he had already asked Emperor Hongzhi to resign over and over again, but Emperor Hongzhi was reluctant to let go of Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang is a really talented minister. Liu Jian can only say that he is loyal to the emperor. As for his talents and abilities, they are actually very average. Fortunately, he is upright and loyal to state affairs, and he can be regarded as a pretty good minister.
The real talent is Li Dongyang, who has great strategy and wisdom, and is also a very upright and honest minister. However, he has always been in poor health. He often falls ill when he is only sixty. In addition, there is a mess at home.
As for being often discouraged and uninterested in government affairs, he always thinks about returning to his hometown to take care of himself and live a small life for a few years.
However, Emperor Hongzhi needed Li Dongyang very much. At least when Liu Jin and Wang Shouren, the two younger generations, could not fully support the situation, Li Dongyang was still needed to stabilize the situation.
Although Liu Jin is talented, he is still young after all. Wang Shouren is also a capable minister, but he is not yet ready to join the cabinet and needs a few more years of training.
When the time comes, Wang Shouren will be promoted to six ministers and ministers, and he will serve for a few years before joining the cabinet. At that time, it will be appropriate if Liu Jin and Wang Shouren are in control of the situation in the court.
Liu Jin was only in his thirties, in his prime, very young, and very capable. Wang Shouren was only in his forties, equally young, talented, and capable.
As long as such a situation is formed, there will be nothing to worry about in the next twenty years of Ming Dynasty.
This is the arrangement and plan of Emperor Hongzhi.
As the emperor, you not only have to consider the inheritance of this country, but also the ministers of the court and how to arrange people in key positions. This is also something that requires energy to think carefully.
If you arrange the right people, capable and loyal ministers, the emperor can naturally rest easy. If you arrange the wrong people, and the ministers are not only incompetent, but also like to mess around and are ambitious, then you will know that you are tired.
Like Zhou Jing in the past, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His characteristic was that he was still loyal, but he had no ability. He would use the emperor's internal funds to do things he especially liked to do, and used the lack of money to retaliate against Emperor Hongzhi, so that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to
Nothing can be done.
It's okay to have one or two of these ministers, but once there are more of them, each one thinks that he is upright and dares to remonstrate, and in order to leave a good name in the history, he would like to spit on the emperor's face, so as to appear that he dares to remonstrate directly.
As an emperor, you will know what it feels like.
If you eat an extra bowl of rice during a meal, believe it or not, he can cite scriptures to criticize you, saying that you are extravagant and wasteful. If you make a haha in the morning, he can write a long article to tell you not to be immoral and immoral.
.
In short, if you meet such a minister who is incompetent, stubborn and not afraid of death, and wants to leave a name in history, your good days are basically over.
It will be even more painful for you when you meet those sycophants.
Some ministers don't want to do things for the emperor every day, but only think about how to get promoted by flattering them. They have nothing to do every day but write memorials for you.
There are a lot of words in the memorial, thousands of eloquent words at every turn, with gorgeous rhetoric and brilliant literary talent. However, reading the whole article, you can only see: Your Majesty, how are you? Your Majesty, you are so handsome, Your Majesty, you are wise and powerful, Your Majesty, you are eternal.
Holy King, wait.
One or two such ministers are fine, but if there are too many, you will be killed by reading the memorial every day.
In the past, Emperor Hongzhi would stay late every day reviewing memorials. The ministers all knew that Emperor Hongzhi was diligent and liked reviewing memorials, so naturally they wrote many memorials to flatter him.
This has greatly increased the emperor's workload. The emperor's time is also limited, and his energy is also limited. Reading your flattery memorials day after day is a waste of time and energy. As for national affairs, nothing can be done.
If it doesn't work, it's no wonder that emperors have grown old quickly since ancient times.
The emperor's favorite ministers are ministers like Liu Jin, who have outstanding abilities and are very capable. When nothing happens, you won't see Liu Jin's memorials for several months. Once there are memorials, it is a national event.
This greatly reduces the workload and burden of the emperor, and can help the emperor solve problems. Such ministers are good ministers. They are comfortable and the key is to feel at ease.
Liu Jin has no ambitions. Even though he has money, he is passionate about education. After work, he spends time with his wife and children at home. In his words, he is a courtier when he is in court, and he is a husband and father when he returns home. Being an official is just a job, and when the work is over, he
You should stay at home with your wife and take care of your children.
Of course, the more such ministers, the better. Not only will they help the king manage the country in an orderly manner, but the emperor can also become more relaxed.
Think about the past, and then think about now.
The treasury is rich, and Emperor Hongzhi’s internal funds are also rich. The court has strong soldiers and horses, and the government is well-organized. The people live a prosperous life. The Ming Dynasty is booming, with a new look and prosperity. This is the real prosperous age. The key is that this prosperous age has just begun, and it is still
It has an infinite bright future.
This is the importance of using the right ministers.
Only with Zhuge Liang could Liu Bei be able to divide the world into three parts. Without Zhuge Liang, relying only on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he would still be a homeless dog wandering around.
Emperor Hongzhi also had a deep understanding of this.
In the past, he had learned the lessons of his father Ming Xianzong, so he re-appointed upright ministers. The government was stable and had a new atmosphere. However, these ministers lacked the ability and vision to break the shackles of dynasty changes and destiny.
Therefore, even though Emperor Hongzhi was diligent and the ministers in the court were considered upright, the Ming Dynasty was still the Ming Dynasty. The so-called prosperous era was just a matter of self-promotion by civil servants. A famine tore this veil apart.
Now that we have finally achieved a good situation, it is natural to continue it and create a more glorious future, so the arrangements of the ministers are even more important.
As for Emperor Hongzhi's arrangements, anyone with a discerning eye can actually see it.
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang could obviously see that, and both knew that Emperor Hongzhi was vigorously cultivating Liu Jin.
Ever since Liu Jinzhong became the number one scholar, he has been promoted as fast as a rocket. Now he is already a cabinet minister in his thirties, and he is expected to be the chief minister of the cabinet in a few years.
This shows that Emperor Hongzhi valued Liu Jin. Of course, Liu Jin's own ability was obvious to all, and they all admired him very much.
Now that Liu Jin has joined the cabinet, both of them also intend to retire. Therefore, although Liu Jin is the new cabinet minister, Liu Jin is basically handling the affairs in the cabinet now.
As for Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, they mostly drink tea and read newspapers. They will only take care of any major events.
Most of the work is left to Liu Jin. Anyway, he is young, and the emperor also intends to cultivate him, so it is good to do more things. We provide you with the fastest update of Ming Zhenhai King, Chapter 1615, how to be a comfortable emperor
