Chapter 366: Hu Weiyong is in two different situations!
Before Zhu Han traveled through time, he had a certain understanding of the Ming Dynasty. Although he could not be compared with those who professionally studied the history of the Ming Dynasty, he was still a lover of the history of the Ming Dynasty and had a certain understanding of Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao was soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
But he had his own preference for civil servants. After Ma Xiuying's death, no one could control Zhu Yuanzhang. When Zhu Yuanzhang was about to go on a killing spree, Zhu Biao stood opposite Zhu Yuanzhang, saying it was to protect the ministers, but in fact they had different opinions. However, in
A hundred years later, the internal fighting in the Ming Dynasty proved that Zhu Yuanzhang's decision was correct. Although the methods were cruel, Zhu Yuanzhang had to do so in order to take care of his descendants.
Zhu Yuanzhang's merits outweighed his faults. Zhu Biao, who stood opposite Zhu Yuanzhang, had too many faults.
With the addition of Zhu Han in this life, many things have become different, including people's cognition. Zhu Biao also subtly changed his stubborn ideas during his interactions with Zhu Han.
After the two big scandals, namely the empty seal and the grain tax, Zhu Biao's thoughts were different from before. His trust in civil servants was no longer an ideal one, but more from the perspective of those in power. His trust in other people
Most of the time he raised it, he had a skeptical attitude, and he no longer believed others easily.
More importantly, Zhu Biao learned to think in a way that belongs to a superior person. Take Zhu Han and what he said about the upcoming imperial examination as an example. It is a great progress for Zhu Biao to think of focusing on strategy.
Prior to this, when Zhu Yuanzhang was formulating the imperial examination, he also set the prerequisite elements of emphasizing strategy and despising scriptures. Zhu Biao believed that scriptures and strategies should be given equal emphasis. Judging from Zhu Biao's current meaning, it seems that strategy was more important than Zhu Yuanzhang's in time.
The tone is even higher.
This is interesting.
Zhu Han did not say what he thought, but asked Zhu Biao: "What are you going to do?"
"I believe that measures should be adapted to local conditions. Each place has its own environment and conditions. When selecting officials, local factors should be taken into consideration."
Zhu Biao made his thoughts clear and said to Zhu Han: "Uncle, in addition to the existing imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty, I think that in each province, the Chief Envoy should also select officials in each year and fill them in the villages.
, in the county, if you decentralize power, the number of public officials needed will increase. We need to select and limit the number of grassroots officials while giving them the opportunity to choose independently."
Holy shit!
Isn't this the imperial examination of later generations?
How did Zhu Biao come up with it?
At this moment, Zhu Han had some doubts, Zhu Biao was also a time traveler.
Staring at Zhu Biao and looking up and down, Zhu Han asked curiously: "Is this what you thought of?"
"Um."
Zhu Biao nodded sheepishly, but still said truthfully: "Uncle, you and my father have been saying before that the officials in the court and various places should not focus on the south and the north, but should use a balanced approach.
We might as well let go of certain powers and let local people control the selection of officials to try to achieve a balance."
Hearing what Zhu Biao said, Zhu Han also realized that this was just an idea of Zhu Biao's, and it was not yet mature. He said to Zhu Biao: "It may be okay to use your method to select ordinary officials, but
When it reaches a certain height, local officials can no longer be allowed to stay in the local area. You also know that the human relations and sophistication that have been passed down for thousands of years are often irresistible to people. Perhaps an upright official will not be able to resist due to various favors.
Don’t do anything that goes against your conscience.”
"Well, that's a problem."
Zhu Biao held his chin and thought: "Wealth and honor are like traveling at night without returning home. There is no exception at any time, and the same is true for my father."
Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's preferential policies for his fellow villagers, Zhu Biao understood Zhu Han's words: "Uncle, are you talking about my father? That's the kind of person he is."
Zhu Han also laughed: "Hahaha, the inseparable local feelings are something rooted in our blood."
Even Zhu Han is not exempt from vulgarity.
Zhu Biao said to Zhu Han: "I will think about it carefully and try to come up with a legal and reasonable system."
Seeing that Zhu Biao was fine, Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao up and down and then said: "In the past six months, he has been exercising well. Come, practice with me."
"ah?"
Zhu Biao's face dropped, and he said with a dark face: "Uncle, I can't beat you."
"How can we talk about fighting? Let's train each other."
Zhu Han did not give Zhu Biao a chance to refuse, so he took Zhu Biao to exercise. In Zhu Han's yard, there was a small school ground. Zhu Han usually exercised here, and the servants in the house would also compete on the school ground.
, now that Zhu Biao has just arrived at your door, why not take him to exercise?
Just one word: practice!
After a while, Zhu Biao collapsed directly on the school ground from exhaustion. Zhu Han took off his protective armor and looked at Zhu Biao, who was lying on the ground and gasping for air: "Boy, you are still far behind, can you not hold on even after being so good?"
Zhu Biao didn't speak. He really didn't have a chance to speak. He didn't understand why Zhu Han's physical fitness was still so good. Didn't he say that sex was like a bone-scraping steel knife? Why was his physical fitness still so good?
Zhu Han said to Zhu Biao: "With your current physical fitness, you can be a qualified soldier, but you need to practice your martial arts more. The emperor of Ming Dynasty must be both civil and military."
Zhu Biao nodded heavily: "Okay, I will practice hard again."
Zhu Han sat cross-legged on the school ground and asked Zhu Biao: "As for your mentality, Biao'er, my brother has been away in Yingtian recently, how do you feel about handling official duties?"
Zhu Han knew that Zhu Biao in another world died young. On the one hand, it was because he imitated Zhu Yuanzhang and worked late into the night and exhausted his body. On the other hand, it was because of his mentality. He was preoccupied and buried everything in his heart.
, and Zhu Yuanzhang has a bad temper and often breaks out. How can Zhu Biao withstand this kind of pressure?
Now Zhu Biao's physical fitness is already good, but his mentality still needs to be polished.
Zhu Han asked this, and Zhu Biao was too talkative. He sat cross-legged on the ground and poured out his bitterness to Zhu Han: "There are too many things. Some officials are just old fools. It is his business, but they have to push it to
They came to me and asked me to make a decision, especially after investigating these two major cases, those officials became more timid, and so did several people in the cabinet. If it hadn't been for Mr. Li's support, I would have been
I don’t know how high the memorials must be piled.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It seems that Li Shanchang still understands you."
Zhu Han said to Zhu Biao, "This is a normal phenomenon. Then you know, if my brother handled this matter, how would he handle it?"
Zhu Biao replied: "If officials who shirk their responsibilities are pulled out and given heavy responsibilities, they will either lose their official title or be slapped twenty times and continue to work."
"Haha, you still don't understand him."
Zhu Han laughed and said to Zhu Biao: "If it were him, he would scold the person first and scold him directly in the memorial to make him repent. If he still has the same attitude in subsequent work, he would directly remove the person from the job.
Throw them out in the court, or assign them to local officials to teach them how to do things. Nowadays, I have enough scholars in Ming Dynasty, but there is a shortage of people who can be officials. Every official in the court has not experienced years of hard work.
Promoted only after accumulation? If an official is dismissed just because they shirk their responsibilities, it really shouldn't be... Of course, if this exiled official still refuses to repent, then he and his family will suffer."
Hearing Zhu Han's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown: "Isn't it too cruel to do this? It's not necessary, right?"
】
"That's not necessary? Biao'er, you underestimate the wisdom of these officials."
Zhu Han shook his head and said to Zhu Biao: "Which of these officials in the court does not know Zhu Yuanzhang's temper? But now that you are in charge of the country, they have returned to their original appearance? Isn't this deceiving the emperor by returning all responsibilities to you?
"
Hearing what Zhu Han said, Zhu Biao suddenly realized.
Yes, they are bullying themselves.
They didn't dare to do this when Zhu Yuanzhang was here. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is out patrolling the world and he comes to supervise the country, those officials have returned to their original appearance. Why is this?
Isn’t this bullying an honest person?
Zhu Biao was a little angry: "These people are just bullying you!"
"So, you have to be smart, you have to be able to control them! Remember Biao'er... you are the emperor, you can mobilize all the power for your own use!"
Zhu Han clenched his fists, "Imperial power and ministers have been in conflict since ancient times. Whether they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, or whether they have power in the court, they are all for their own interests."
Everyone in the world is clamoring for profit. Everyone knows what such a simple truth means, but how to deal with the interest relationship is something that many people are unable to grasp.
Zhu Han said: "Killing is the simplest method, but it is not a weapon that is revealed at the beginning. If you kill people because of a trivial matter, then you are a fool. My brother also kills people, but he will not do it because of an official's negligence."
Go kill people, do you understand?"
"I understand, but I don't fully understand."
Zhu Biao scratched his head and asked Zhu Han sincerely: "Uncle, what would you do if you met such an official?"
"Me? I have no choice, otherwise how could I be a happy prince?"
Zhu Han took a tactical step back and said to Zhu Biao: "You have grown up. You must learn to think of your own solutions instead of asking others what to do."
"..."
Isn’t this the same as not saying anything?
Zhu Biao was speechless. This uncle of his was good at everything, but he was too immoral. He had nothing to do but amuse himself. As for Zhu Han's statement that he had no solution, Zhu Biao didn't believe it at all. He raised the issue.
Okay, isn't there a solution yet?
After returning home, Zhu Biao kept thinking about the question that Zhu Han asked him. What should he do to control the power and prevent his officials from being passive and sabotaging.
After thinking about it, Zhu Biao thought of Hu Weiyong.
If others can't do anything, doesn't Hu Weiyong also have nothing to do?
Hu Weiyong is a complete villain and has many methods. Let him find ways to deal with those people. Wouldn't it be possible to kill multiple birds with one stone?
Thinking of this, Zhu Biaoming understood what Zhu Han meant. Zhu Han said that he did not have a solution to the official's negligence. It was not that he did not have any, but that he did not need to do such a thing.
Rather, you need to learn to use people!
As a member of the court cabinet, Hu Weiyong has the power to supervise and urge courtiers. He can directly reprimand anyone who does not do well. If Hu Weiyong's reprimand is useless, then there is something wrong with this person. Will it be dealt with at that time?
Do you still need to worry so much?
Zhu Yuanzhang once told Zhu Biao that the ministers in the court are not domestic servants, they are all selfish people, and what the emperor needs to do is not to curb their selfishness, but to take advantage of the situation.
The emperor can satisfy their selfishness, but they must show "sincerity", and the credit is sincerity.
After thinking of a solution to the problem, Zhu Biao had a smile on his face.
Being able to control his subordinates is probably what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han want to see.
"Uncle, Dad, I understand!"
At this moment, Zhu Biao's heart instantly sublimated, just like Longchang's enlightenment.
At noon the next day, Hu Weiyong came to Zhu Han and told Zhu Han that he was given a task by Zhu Biao today to clean up the slack atmosphere in the court. After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Zhu Han showed a smile on his face. He knew that Zhu Biao was doing this.
She understood what he meant: "This boy reacts very quickly."
In words, he was very satisfied with Zhu Biao's approach.
But when he looked at Hu Weiyong, the smile on Zhu Han's face disappeared. Instead, he looked at Hu Weiyong very impatiently: "He is the prince and the supervisor of the country appointed by His Majesty. You will do whatever he tells you to do."
Why are you looking for me? Are you looking for someone to pour out your troubles?"
"I don't dare."
Hu Weiyong knelt on the ground and said prostrately: "I have been able to achieve what I have achieved today because of your support. I am your Highness's son in life and your Highness's ghost in death. Now that others want me to do something, I naturally have to ask your Highness first."
If you don’t agree, Weiyong will not agree even if he dies.”
When he said this, he was a fluent person who packaged himself as Zhu Han's loyal slave, but Zhu Han knew that this Hu Weiyong was a complete villain. He is begging you now, but when he knows that your status is not as good as
From now on, he will trample you to death.
A true villain and a loyal slave.
But only this kind of person can be used more easily by Zhu Biao. When the time comes and people are angry, it is not impossible to just throw him out to calm the people's anger.
And Hu Weiyong's role does not stop there.
Hu Weiyong is also a smart man. He can tell from Zhu Han's words that Zhu Han does not object to him doing things for Zhu Biao, on the contrary, he is very supportive. Such a result undoubtedly makes Hu Weiyong happy.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han are, after all, members of the older generation, while Zhu Biao represents the new generation. If Hu Weiyong had been following Zhu Han, he would definitely not be a confidant when Zhu Biao became emperor.
But now, Zhu Han gave him the opportunity to serve Zhu Biao. When Zhu Biao becomes emperor, can he not talk about this romantic relationship?
Therefore, Hu Weiyong was very happy, thinking that even if he had two boats, he could prosper in the Ming court. Of course, he also knew that the reason why Zhu Han asked him to work for Zhu Biao was because Zhu Han had no intention of courting.
Zhu Han has no intention of going to court, so doesn't he need someone with authority in the court to escort him?
Hu Weiyong, who started to tread two boats, believed that by following Zhu Biao, he was escorting Zhu Han in the court. This was something that benefited both parties... nothing more.
