Chapter 479 The future has changed
Zhu Zaijing looked at the memorandum written by Zhang Juzheng on the expansion of the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture and the division of powers and responsibilities between Shuntian Prefecture Yin and Shuntian Governor, with a smile on his face. A look of satisfaction.
"Mr. Zhang's memorial is well written, but some points need to be reconsidered. Tianjin Wei is different from ordinary states and counties. Strictly speaking, Tianjin Wei should be regarded as a health center. "
"In his memorial, Mr. Zhang wanted to transform Tianjin Wei into Tianjin County and absorb it into the future Dashun Tianfu, which is somewhat nondescript. Based on the suggestion of the Supreme Commander of the Tianjin Guards, I believe that the positioning of the Tianjin Guards should be resolved first, and then consider whether to absorb the Tianjin Guards into the Dashun Tianfu."
Zhang Juzheng listened carefully to Zhu Zaijing's suggestions, and he was somewhat agitated. He looked at Zhu Zaijing in confusion and replied: "Your Majesty, if Tianjin Guard is incorporated into the new Dashun Tianfu, wouldn't its positioning be obvious?"
Zhu Zaijing waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean. Tianjin Wei may not seem big, but its influence is actually not small. If it is absorbed into Dashuntian Mansion, then the jurisdiction of Shuntian Mansion will be It occupies half of Beizhili."
"It is absolutely impossible to manage such a large state capital efficiently, and it is even necessary to set up two levels slightly lower than Dashun Tianfu. Only the Yamen can complete the handling of local relations. "
"In this way, the imperial court is not much different from the newly established Chief Envoy. Therefore, I want you to change your approach to deal with Tianjin. For example, it is proposed to convert part of the Tianjin Guard into a special zone, and the remaining part can be transformed into a county, or the military functions can continue to be prioritized according to the original configuration of the guard post.” Tianfu's plan can be passed more smoothly, and you can more easily use the functions of Shuntian Governor to complete the management integration of Dashun Tianfu and Tianjin Wei."
"As for what happens in the future, That depends on the future development. After all, Shuntian Prefecture is the seat of the capital, and the establishment of Shuntian Governor is also for the current coordinated development, not a long-term yamen.”
"So after Governor Shuntian has completed his corresponding mission in the future, I and His Majesty will not allow a Governor of Shuntian to exist who controls the entire capital or even half of Northern Zhili. Do you understand this?"
Zhu Zaijing's words suddenly woke up Zhang Juzheng. He only thought about the power he wanted to control, but ignored the most practical security issue of divide and rule between the central and local governments.
If he really submits his current memorandum to the cabinet, court and Emperor Jiajing for a decision, based on the weight of Zhu Zaijing’s last sentence just now, not only will this matter not be possible, but even he may not be able to do it. You will be suspected of having other motives.
So at this moment, Zhang Juzheng was frightened and quickly knelt on the ground, "I am stupid. If the prince doesn't wake me up, I will make a big mistake!"
Zhu Zaijing Smiling, he closed Zhang Juzheng's memorial and came over to support Zhang Juzheng. Zheng raised his arms and said, "Mr. Zhang is thinking about the country, and I can understand it. But the princes in the court are not familiar with Mr. Zhang. They don't understand Mr. Zhang's personality, so sometimes when he is thinking about things, it is inevitable There will be caution.”
"As long as Mr. Zhang can understand this and do the rest of the things more steadily, it will be right. Otherwise, if something big happens in the future, Mr. Zhang will still have such a stubborn temper, and he will easily go astray in his pursuit of quick success and quick gain. Even if the intention is good, the outcome will not be good."
Zhu Zaijing also had the intention of beating Zhang Juzheng. Zhu Zaijing had discovered Zhang Juzheng since he appointed Zhang Juzheng as the governor of the Capital Special Administrative Region in these years. Another big problem is that people like to be arbitrary.
If this kind of problem were found in a truly superior person, it would not be a serious problem.
After all, great people can become great people in ancient and modern times. Which one is not so?
But Zhang Juzheng is a minister, not a king.
There is no problem for him to be arbitrary in a certain position, but if he really reaches a high position in the future, he will still do so. This will not only offend other colleagues and subordinates below him, but even the person above him will hate him. Extremely.
If there is another accident, then all his efforts, whether they are right or wrong, will eventually be overturned without leaving any part.
In this case, Zhang Juzheng can only be a tragic figure in history.
But today Zhu Zaijing does not need Zhang Juzheng to be like this. He only needs Zhang Juzheng to exert his strong administrative capabilities and develop some new ways of handling new things and new things. This is what Zhu Zaijing required.
As for what will happen in the future, we have to wait until the future comes.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing must not let Zhang Juzheng develop an arbitrary personality that takes over everything at his current stage.
As for whether Zhang Juzheng can understand Zhu Zaijing's painstaking efforts now, it actually doesn't matter. After all, Zhu Zaijing is also worried about future history, and these things are not something Zhang Juzheng can know.
So now Zhang Juzheng just needs to contain his inflated heart.
"I would like to thank you for your teaching."
Zhang Juzheng paid homage to Zhu Zaijing again.
Zhu Zaijing chuckled again and said, "How can Mr. Zhang say that? You are a student elected by His Majesty to the palace. You are the only one who teaches me. How can I teach you the truth? Never do this in the future. If it gets out, outsiders will think that I am a bad student who refuses to be disciplined by my husband."
Zhang Ju. Hearing Zhu Zaijing's joke, he also laughed, "Your Majesty's words are serious. The ancients said: 'There is a way to hear the Tao'. Your Majesty can surpass the ministers. This is what the ministers expect. How could it be?" Where are the bad things about the prince?"
Zhu Zaijing smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, please sit down first, you have to continue to sort out this memorial. Next, after we deal with the minor issues just mentioned, there shouldn’t be any problems. In addition, I have something important to ask you for today, and I need your help.”
Zhang Juzheng was sitting dangerously facing Zhu Zaijing and replied: "Please tell me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zaijing said: "Recent affairs in the court There are many, and the biggest thing is that Wu Peng complained to the old man, and the imperial court recommended a new official minister. Recently, I heard that only Mr. Yan Ge recommended a candidate, but there has been no movement from Mr. Xu Ge, which is very disappointing. The king is surprised, is Mr. Xu Ge, the second assistant, really the follower of Mr. Ge who is following behind Mr. Yan Ge? "
"If this is the case, I would also like to consider whether to advise His Majesty to replace Mr. Xu Ge with a minister who is young and energetic and can provide other advice to the court and Your Majesty. After all, the current cabinet is really old. It’s extremely old and has nothing new to say. How can it be Can you afford the great situation of Jiajing ZTE? "
Zhu Zaijing's words were also quite unkind. He mentioned Xu Jie's fault directly in front of Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng, a high-ranking disciple of Xu, couldn't help but feel a chill.
Zhang Juzheng said hurriedly: "My lord, please calm down, Mr. Xu Ge has no such intention! He is not a person who follows suit every step of the way. He just wants to take the overall situation into consideration, so he does not quarrel with Mr. Yan Ge, so he does not recommend new officials. Candidates for minister ."
Zhu Zaijing snorted and said with a smile: "Does the overall situation of the imperial court need him to take care of it? Is the overall situation of the imperial court a family decision? The purpose of the imperial court having a cabinet and multiple cabinet members working together is to Brainstorm Guangyi can more efficiently assist the emperor in handling important affairs in the world."
"But if the cabinet elders put the so-called overall situation first in everything, they would not say anything if they have good suggestions. I don’t recommend candidates, I just think about them. Don’t offend anyone in the overall situation, just think about getting through one day, think about the important affairs of the court as a matter of human relations, and always want to be a good person who will not offend the superiors, but such a good person will offend everyone in the world.”
< br>
"So, I hope that if Mr. Zhang is free, he will tell Mr. Xu Ge what I said. Don't always think about being cautious and don't always think about your own one-third of an acre. There are some things he really does. If not, I can recommend some people to your Majesty for work. "
Zhang Juzheng quickly replied: "I will definitely bring you what the prince taught you."
Zhu Zaijing said: "Well, then you can go to Xuge to talk. After talking about it, I don’t want to see the only one recommended by Mr. Yan Ge in the next year. If there is only one person to recommend the candidate, is it necessary to go through the process of recommendation? ""Your Majesty, the responsibility of the recommendation is for you to select the best, not for you to recommend the candidate? Think of it as a power test, do you understand?”
Zhang Juzheng was so shocked by Zhu Zaijing’s words that he broke into a cold sweat. He had never heard such heart-wrenching words from Zhu Zaijing. It can be seen that Yu now The prince or the emperor is really dissatisfied with the current atmosphere of the court.
Zhang Juzheng said anxiously: "Your Majesty is aware that I have no intention of testing my power! There must be a misunderstanding in this matter! Mr. Xu Ge just hasn't found a suitable candidate yet, and he is worried that the person he recommends will not satisfy His Majesty, so he delayed There is news. After I return, I will communicate seriously with Mr. Xu Ge and recommend a candidate to the court. For hundreds of officials to choose one of them."
Looking at Zhang Juzheng who was so excited, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but laugh again. This time, Zhu Zaijing smiled very easily. He smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang. There is no need to be so nervous. Although this is the case, it does not have to be like this. Since Xu Ge has not made up his mind until now, he has not decided yet. The imperial court has thought about other outstanding candidates, so how about I choose one of them for once?"
Zhang Juzheng quickly said: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Zhu Zaijing pondered. After a moment, he tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically and said: "How about Mr. Gao? His appointment as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Ming Dynasty The term will expire next year, and he is about to transfer to a new position. The Ministry of Civil Affairs is a good yamen, and he can give it a try. "
Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but feel when he heard Zhu Zaijing talking about Gao Gong. He was shocked for a while. He never thought it would be Gao Gong, but after hearing Zhu Zaijing say Gao Gong, he couldn't help but think calmly.
It seems that in today's Prince Yu's palace, only Gao Gong is in line with Zhu Zaicheng's fundamental interests. Although others are good, they are still not qualified enough and have not as much experience as Gao Gong.
So it is reasonable for Prince Yu to recommend Gao Gong to the list of candidates.
Looking at Zhang Juzheng's changing expression, Zhu Zaijing smiled again and said: "How about Mr. Zhang? Mr. Gao should also be a good candidate, right? I'm afraid that he will not be able to get the unanimous approval of all the officials this time. I agree, I just ran with him once, but at least this is the attitude. Otherwise, if there is no attitude, it is really hard for me to imagine that after Mr. Yan Ge, His Majesty will really use Mr. Xu Ge as his chief assistant. "
Zhu Zaijing seemed to be a different person today. He was testing everything and speaking outright. This made Zhang Juzheng feel a little more fear than he had ever experienced before, in addition to the frightening panic.
And this fear is not the fear of Zhu Zaijing's words, but the fear of Zhu Zaijing himself. He feels that the Prince Yu in front of him has changed. He is no longer the Prince Yu before, but the Prince Yu now. He no longer looks like an ordinary person.
So at this moment, Zhu Zaijing himself, whom Zhang Juzheng was afraid of, was actually also a fear of supreme power.
It seems that Zhu Zaijing also has the same innate supreme pressure as Emperor Jiajing, making people unable to look directly at him.
Zhang Juzheng could not sit still at this time. He stood up from his seat and bowed seriously to Zhu Zaijing, "I understand that I will definitely bring the prince's will to Mr. Xu Ge. Let Mr. Xu Ge show his proper attitude."
Zhang Juzheng also changed the wording of what Zhu Zaijing said and directly used the word "will".
You must know that in the entire Ming Dynasty, only the words spoken by Emperor Jiajing can be called a will. Now Zhang Juzheng also treats Zhu Zaijing's words as a will.
It can be seen that Zhu Zaijing's performance and words today really shocked Zhang Juzheng, and made him really feel a sense of surrender.
Otherwise, he would not be so quick to use the word "will" to describe Zhu Zaijing's will and suggestions.
Zhu Zaijing saw that his goal had been achieved, so he did not keep Zhang Juzheng to continue talking.
Zhu Zaijing said: "In this case, I will not keep Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang will go back early to deal with the issue of the memorial, and then go to Mr. Xu Ge to communicate with him and try to get his way. Mr. Xu Ge showed the attitude he should have as a junior assistant in the cabinet. He should not be cautious and misunderstood as following Mr. Ge."
Zhang Juzheng bowed again: "I resigned."
Zhu Zaijing hummed, and then said to the door, "Meng Chong sends Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Juzheng, who left Prince Yu's Mansion, did not return directly to the Yamen of the Special Administrative Region of the capital, but asked his groom to follow him. Immediately went to the direction of Xu Mansion.
After arriving at Xu Mansion, Zhang Juzheng hurried to Xu Jie's study without any hesitation or hesitation.
At this moment, Xu Jie was still looking at the Qing Ci he had just written on the desk, thinking about the words and sentences, wanting to make them more perfect.
So when he saw Zhang Juzheng coming in a hurry, he also laughed and said: "Juzheng, come here and help me see how to correct this Qing Ci poem for the better?"
Zhang Juzheng felt numb when he saw that Xu Jie was still indulging in the creation of Qing Ci in order to obtain the Sacred Heart.
According to Zhu Zaijing's abnormal behavior today, Zhang Juzheng's smart mind immediately thought of many things, the most incredible of which is that the future may change tomorrow, and the era of inviting favors with Qing Ci will also be gone. Never return.
Zhang Juzheng said anxiously: "Mr. Ge, the student has something important to do, so let's put Qingci aside for now."
Xu Jie was a little unhappy when he heard this. Nothing is as important as the poem he wrote to Emperor Jiajing.
Because as long as Qing Ci is written, his status will be stable.
And recently, he is also planning to further improve the magical skills of the turtle, allowing Yan Song to continue to dominate, and let him steal the limelight in the court, so as to make Emperor Jiajing unhappy and gain benefits.
So at this moment, when Xu Jie saw Zhang Juzheng in a hurry and said that he wanted to put Qing Ci away, he became unhappy.
Xu Jiedao: "What's wrong with you today? Can't you distinguish the priorities? Is this a Qing Ci? This is our future."
Zhang Juzheng said anxiously: " Mr. Ge, the future has changed! Qingci may soon be a thing of the past. Things in the future are not written in a Qingci. We have to consider the changes that are about to happen. "
