The words "I also want to know" blocked the mouths of all the cabinet members.
What else are you talking about? The officials asked the Supervisory Yamen to investigate the donations. The purpose is clear, and it doesn’t seem to have much to do with you.
As for the disciples and former officials, if they really violated the rules, what if they were the cabinet?
The original worries, or the available excuses, no longer have a basis after knowing the purpose.
As for the method, it’s just the panic in my heart that makes me object to it...
Of course, except for Sima Guang, this old boy is really worried about the government... After Xiu Shixiu reached the previous dynasty, he became more and more frightened by the harm that Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing had done to the entire court.
"Sima Xianggong, is it time to write about the previous dynasty? Don't worry, I am not Empress Wu, and there will be no cruel officials in this dynasty!"
Zhao Xi refuted Sima Guang's words, but he still valued Sima Guang's contribution to the history of revision.
So, just one more word of understanding can be regarded as a favor to Sima Guang...
"Please remember this!"
The momentum is huge, but the purpose is actually very simple. It is true that everyone in the cabinet has been deceived.
"Fu Xiang, the Supervisory Yamen's investigation has nothing to do with government affairs. Rather, it is the matter of Liangshanbo's intensive fisheries and farms that I mentioned. Has the cabinet ever discussed it?"
Everyone should get down to business, and don't worry about it. The imperial court is already busy with affairs, so how can anyone have time to think about their disciples and former officials?
Since you are all free, let’s do this together.
Zhao Xi originally thought of making a rough idea first, but now he thought of handing it over directly to the cabinet.
Aren't you free? I'll give you something to do.
"Back at the official's house, the old minister is sorting out the official's proposals that day, and they have not been discussed in the cabinet for the time being."
"Oh, let's go early then. I think you all have some free time..."
The official family is becoming more and more powerful. All the cabinet ministers entered the palace. They were in high spirits, but ended up falling apart. Numerous private messages from local officials, plus cabinet discussions for a long time, finally the official family resolved it simply.
"Rich Prime Minister..."
"Stop talking, I have said that this matter should not be like this. Who has listened? It is not an arbitrary decision by the officials. What is the difference between what we are doing and forcing the palace? Moreover, when facing the king directly, the old behavior will return again, and there will be disorder again.
The debate...”
"You all don't know what an official family is like. I have been emphasizing order and rules for many years. Is it proper to behave like this just because of hearsay?"
Fu Bi also followed the example of the officials and directly blocked what everyone wanted to say. They were all ministers who wanted to become officials. By doing this, I really don’t know how much the officials will regard Ge Laoyuan in the end.
"The same goes for cabinet deliberations?"
The prince did not follow the cabinet out, but was still waiting in the Qinzheng Hall. He felt that today's matter was a bit strange, and he needed to wait for his father to clear up the confusion.
"Cabinet deliberations are not like this. Generally speaking, the cabinet in charge first states the issues and affairs, then the prime minister takes the lead in the discussion, expounds the views in an orderly manner, and finally forms a decision. The prime minister said that this is what dad has always asked for."
"Dad, what's the reason for today's incident? Even if the cabinet members were serious about taking care of their disciples and former officials, they would not behave like this in this stall. However, the entire cabinet was unanimous. The crowd was originally passionate, but it ended like this.
, the child doesn’t think it’s the effect of daddy’s few words.”
After all, it has been tempered, and I can see that the scene just now is not normal. Yes, being honest is honest. To be a king, you must not be dull, and you must have all the twists and turns you should have.
"The Song Dynasty belongs to the Zhao family, the royal family, and is also classified as a minister. The monarch and ministers jointly govern the Song Dynasty, which requires everyone to act within a certain framework, and the same is true for the king."
"Compared to the previous dynasties, our court has eliminated the possibility of dictatorship since our ancestors. As long as the court still has good prime ministers and the king is not stupid, the dynasty will last for a long time."
"The ministers in the cabinet are acting like this this time because the Supervisory Yamen has gone too far. The Supervisory Yamen is directly subordinate to the king and has authority beyond other yamen in the imperial court."
"This time the Supervisory Office carried out a massive operation in the Manchu Dynasty. Due to the poor communication of information between local and state governments, the governor of each state government thought that they were investigating themselves, so they sent private messages to consult the cabinet."
"When all the information was centralized in the cabinet, the elders were worried that the king would use the power of supervising the yamen to ignore the court and deal with the courtiers at will, that is, to strengthen the imperial power. This is the reason why the cabinet ministers are anxious. After understanding the purpose of supervising the yamen,
Naturally, there is no need to worry..."
"Such a situation made the cabinet ministers a little impatient at the beginning, which led to a disorderly situation. This was a shortcoming in the early years of the country. What my father did was to use the supervisory office to make it clear. When the cabinet ministers suddenly realized
, reprimand disorderly phenomena..."
There was a lot to talk about, and there were a lot of twists and turns in it, so Zhao Xi broke it into pieces, kneaded it into pieces, and told it to his son.
The way to be a king is not a specific and unique way. Whether to be gentle or strong needs to be determined according to the situation.
Very few ministers and workers were no longer entangled in the Supervisory Yamen's investigation, and some were involved in the official donation incident. In view of the determination of the officials and the Supervisory Yamen, everyone knew that there was no room for discussion on this matter.
The investigation work was indeed very tedious. Even with the participation of thousands of inspectors, it took nearly two months to thoroughly investigate all cases of official donation to the country.
Specifically, this situation was because after the imperial court took over the northwest and southwest, the new territories needed a large number of officials, and most of the officials in the Central Plains were unwilling to leave their homes, so this opportunity came about.
The Supervisory Yamen found a total of 93 people who obtained official positions through money, all of whom worked in the northwest and southwest. Nineteen local state government officials involved in the case, and eight people involved in the case from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, were basically from the Procuratorate.
"In the official family, the selection of officials in the state and dynasty was originally the prerogative of the state and even counties. Later, because the imperial court was responsible for the officials' salaries, the Ministry of Personnel became involved in the selection of officials."
"After the northwest and southwest territories were recovered, the court's tendency was to try not to use Dangxiang or Baiman or Wuman officials as officials before appointing them within the territory of the country. Even if they were promoted to one level, they still could not meet the number of officials in the new territories."
If more than ninety people were to be withdrawn all at once, the work that had just been straightened out might be interrupted and out of touch. Fu Bi did not want to plead for the officials, but just discussed the matter.
"There are extenuating circumstances, and the law does not allow it. Order the department to investigate and deal with it... As for the vacancies of officials in the northwest and southwest, I think that the number of people studying in the country is acceptable, and the cabinet can order the Ministry of Personnel to formulate and select appointments.
The regulations on officials shall be implemented by the various states, prefectures and counties.”
"The so-called "Chao Gang" does not only refer to the court, but also the people of local, state and capital cities. All the people need to follow the guidelines. If the court allows the donation of officials this time, there will be no reason to stop the donation of officials next time. This matter must be punished to prevent it from happening. "
Regardless of whether the money donated to officials goes into personal pockets or into the public accounts of local and state governments, this is a matter for the supervisory yamen, and Zhao Xi is too lazy to find out. Zhao Xi wants to fundamentally put an end to this matter...
