Chapter 510 Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters
Ouyang Bijin’s experience makes people sympathize, but more people also feel that he seems to be more suitable for the position of Zuodu Yushi, so they are not satisfied with Ouyang Bijin’s temporary transfer to The matter of the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not cause any disturbance in the capital.
When everyone talked about this matter, they all smiled knowingly and did not have too many opinions or opinions.
It can be said that Ouyang Bijin was promoted from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the post of Yushi of Zuodu. It can be regarded as a popular and expected ending.
If I had to blame something, it would be that Zhou Yan's death was too sudden, leaving the court and Emperor Jiajing unprepared, so Ouyang Bi stepped in to take the blame.
Then comes the day of office duty after the Lantern Festival. This more than half-month holiday also allows these Beijing officials to rest comfortably. In addition to the reunion and joy that should be part of the New Year during this long holiday, it also allows them to They joined in a lot of fun and ate a lot of ready-made melons.
Watching Ouyang Bijin's ups and downs, and watching Zhou Yan's worldly affairs, it is really emotional.
But before the officials in the capital recovered from the holiday, a push for the Minister of Industry also kicked off.
Li Chunfang also came to Prince Yu’s Mansion to pay homage the day before the court launch.
Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Li Chunfang, who still couldn't hide his nervousness and excitement.
"Why is Mr. Li so nervous?"
Zhu Zaijing smiled knowingly and asked Li Chunfang who came to see him.
When Li Chunfang heard Zhu Zaijing's question, she immediately suppressed the excitement and nervousness in her heart and replied: "I am still a little nervous about tomorrow's court test."
Zhu Zaijing haha He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Li, you are the new minister of the Ministry of Industry selected by the cabinet. Tomorrow's nomination will most likely be just a formality, and the final decision on the list will have to be handed over to His Majesty for royal approval, so there is no point in being nervous now, it is better to wait for the results."
Li Chunfang. After being comforted by Zhu Zaijing, I felt a lot more at ease.
He understands his own strengths, and the Qing Ci he has written over the years has also been highly recognized by Emperor Jiajing. Otherwise, he would not have been able to climb from a concubine in the Hanlin Academy to a rocket at the speed of a rocket. Now he is the minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he is worth the height of Luxiyuan.
So when Zhu Zaijing said that Emperor Jiajing would finally need to approve the result, Li Chunfang felt as if she had drunk honey water, which was as sweet as heart.
"What the prince said is that everything depends on the outcome of the Holy Judgment. I am too nervous."
Li Chunfang finally suppressed her excitement.
Zhu Zaijing smiled again at this time: "If Mr. Li is lucky enough to win your majesty's favor and trust and be appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, maybe your majesty will take a step closer to Mr. Li and let Mr. Li serve concurrently. A formal bachelor of the palace becomes a true elder of the palace.”
When Li Chunfang heard this, the excitement that she had suppressed suddenly surged again.
This is also Li Chunfang’s dream. If he can really receive this holy grace and be granted the title of concurrent bachelor by Emperor Jiajing, it will be a blessing from heaven for Li Chunfang, and he will be able to honor his ancestors for hundreds of years. And it is far more than the ten years wasted by people of the same age and in the same position.
It can be said that if Emperor Jiajing really works hard and raises his current Hanlin bachelor's degree to the level of a palace bachelor, even if it is only the last Dongge bachelor or Wuyingdian bachelor, That is also a dream that can make people wake up laughing.
"Your Majesty, how dare I have such extravagant thoughts? The cabinet is so valuable, how can I do it as a junior?"
Li Chunfang also became embarrassed and humble.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Mr. Li, there is no need to be modest. You have been serving as a Hanlin bachelor for many years. Over the years, you have also helped the elders in the cabinet to deal with confidential matters. You are also often in Luxiyuan. You are so favored and look at the Ming Dynasty." There is no existence and first Officials of the same age and position are better than him! This shows how important Mr. Li is in His Majesty’s Sacred Heart!”
These words were not spoken by Zhu Zaijing to praise Li Chunfang. Because these are facts.
Posterity people say that Xu Gaozhang was the leader in the "Jialongwan" era, but before these leaders, Li Chunfang was not necessarily any worse than Xu Gaozhang.
Although Li Chunfang was lucky enough to be promoted as a young poet, this does not mean that Li Chunfang can only pat his beard and slip away. He can firmly sit in a high position, and after Xu Jie, he can also be the first assistant in the Longqing Dynasty, and Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng fought against each other, and they were able to support the restriction of Xun Qi and Zhuang Tian, vigorously layoff and redundant personnel under pressure, and they were able to handle important military and national affairs such as "I answer tribute".
This is enough to prove that Li Chunfang is also a real talent as prime minister and assistant, and he is also capable enough to sit firmly in a high position in the cabinet.
It is a pity that Emperor Longqing at that time did not have many opinions and trusted Gao Gong too much, which made Li Chunfang unable to truly perform his duties in the cabinet during the Longqing era. Therefore, in historical evaluations, Li Chunfang is always regarded as a " The appearance of "Xingchen" is actually a misunderstanding and denial of Li Chunfang's ability.
After all, no matter what era we are in, there will always be such talented people who are capable but unsuccessful and cannot be trusted.
Li Chunfang was still able to successfully advance to the position of chief minister of the cabinet in this state, and has been resisting the exclusion of Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng, and supported Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng's proposal of "I answer tribute" regardless of past resentments. " and "Longqing Kaihai" and other policies, this shows that Li Chunfang is not a person who neglects public affairs based on personal likes and dislikes. He is still able to deal with major issues of right and wrong.
So after these years of contact, Zhu Zaijing’s trust and reliance on Li Chunfang is no less than that of the two historical celebrities Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and Zhu Zaijing will still know some key things. He found Li Chunfang alone and asked him to get the matter done.
Just like Zhao Wenhua before, without Li Chunfang’s proactive cooperation, how could it have been so easy for Zhu Zaijing to get Zhao Wenhua, a die-hard strict party, into his hands?
Therefore, sometimes when looking at and employing people, Zhu Zaijing will never follow the script and follow the history books to find people and do things. After all, history is sometimes quite subjective, so he wants to really see a person clearly. , to recognize a person clearly, you still need to personally inspect and understand him.
So over the years, the people around Zhu Zaijing have not had many limitations at all. He can still use the powerful celebrities who can be used, and he will also use some inconspicuous little people. Even if there are some eunuchs and sycophants who are described by history as greedy villains, as long as they are obedient and easy to use, Zhu Zaijing will still not have too many taboos.
After all, if he really wants to take over from Emperor Jiajing in the future, he will not be able to use those whom he trusts or favors just based on his own likes and dislikes like Chongzhen and Jianwen.
You must know that if the water is clear, there will be no fish!
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes!
If you blindly rely on your own stupid "intuition" and "historical understanding" that is so rigid that you don't know how to adapt to hiring people, let alone change the fate of the Ming Dynasty, and don't become Wang Mang's second best, it will be a thank you.
Li Chunfang finally left Prince Yu’s Mansion with a lot of gratitude.
At this time, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui also arrived hand in hand. The two of them came together for tomorrow's big event.
However, their important matter is not the court recommendation, but the imperial meeting that may be held at Yuxi Palace in Xiyuan tomorrow.
Before the Lantern Festival, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui submitted the planning memorial for Dashun Tianfu and the paving plan of Beijing-Tianjin hardened roads to the cabinet and Xiyuan respectively.
When Emperor Jiajing also received these two memorials, he ordered the cabinet to study them carefully and prepare for discussion before the emperor after the holiday.
Now that the festival is over, although there will be a big event tomorrow such as promoting the minister of industry, these two things are not necessarily trivial.
So in order to ensure some details, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui came over together.
Zhu Zaijing looked at Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui who had come to visit him together, and couldn't help but said: "Shouldn't you all be on duty in your respective yamen today? Why are you all here with me? I The king also has several large boxes of memorials sent by the Secretary of General Affairs and the Supervisor of Rites, and the task is also heavy."
When Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui heard Zhu Zaijing's words, they looked at each other slightly and said to Zhu Zaijing: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work."
Zhu Zaijing He pretended to sigh, "Forget it, who made me the prison king? Although he didn't You are actually a prisoner of the country, but you still have a reputation. "
Zhu Zaijing pointed to the tea room on the side of the study and asked Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui to move inside. , and then Zhu Zaijing ordered the clerk in the study to prepare refreshments and bring them over.
Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui looked at Prince Yu's preparations. They bowed and thanked him again, and then sat down in the banquet, taking their seats next to Zhu Zaijing.
Zhu Zaijing said: "It's the Chinese New Year, and there is no good tea. If you want good tea, you have to wait a few months for the new tea to arrive tomorrow. Let's make do with these outdated teas."
After Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui heard what Zhu Zaijing said, they would definitely not dislike the tea in Prince Yu's Mansion. After all, even if these teas are "outdated", they are rare and good in the market. Tea.
Furthermore, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui knew very well what kind of person their prince was, having had such a long-term relationship between monarch and minister. Although he was not very interested in delicacies such as mountains and sea food, he was The ones used are all top quality.
So Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui will naturally not be too pretentious here.
The two of them bowed to Zhu Zaijing and said: "How dare I despise the tea in the prince's house? Moreover, these teas are sold in the market of the special area of the capital. They are also rare and good things. "
Zhu Zaijing chuckled and said: "It's a good thing, but I can't stand you guys coming to drink it every now and then. Tell me, what happened after the festival?"
Zhu Zaijing picked up the tea cup he had just poured and blew it slightly, then took a gentle sip and looked at Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui with great taste.
Zhang Juzheng said first: "Your Majesty, I am here today for the affairs of Dashun Tianfu. According to my plan, Dashun Tianfu occupies almost one-third of Beizhili. I am worried that The cabinet and His Majesty can’t get through it.”
Zhu Zaijing said with a smile: “This is nothing, even if you can’t get through, don’t you still have the title of Governor of Shuntian? The title is enough for you to mobilize the administrative resources of Shuntian Prefecture and surrounding prefectures and counties. Moreover, if the future governor of the Capital Special Administrative Region concurrently serves as the governor of Shuntian becomes a custom, then whether the pattern of the Great Shuntian Prefecture is successful or not, it will not affect the capital's overall planning of Beizhili. "
Zhu Zaijing's words also made Zhang Juzheng, who was still nervous, less nervous.
Zhang Juzheng said: "Your Majesty is a bystander. I have always focused on Dashuntian Mansion and ignored the title of Governor of Shuntian."
Zhu Zaijing said: "It's normal to be ignored. Normally, Governor Shuntian works in Jizhou or Baoding. Although it is not permanent, there are precedents to follow. But Mr. Zhang, you still hold the important position of Chief of the Special Administrative Region. , we are still working in the yamen of the Special Administrative Region of the capital, so it is understandable that we should be blinded by the affairs in front of us. . ”
“However, I still hope that Mr. Zhang can break away from his own perspective and look at the relationship between Beijing, Tianjin and Beizhili from the perspective of coordinated development. We cannot just focus on the capital. The special zone only focuses on the development of the Capital Special Administrative Region, while ignoring the survival needs of the people in other parts of Beizhili."
"After all, our Ming Dynasty is not just a place in Beijing, but thousands of places. It is these thousands of places that make up the Great Ming Dynasty. If Mr. Zhang wants to go further in the future, then We should look at the entire Ming Dynasty and think more about ordinary people.”
After listening to Zhu Zaijing’s words, Zhang Juzheng bowed solemnly, “Thank you so much for your teaching!”
Zhu Zaijing also laughed when he heard Zhang Juzheng’s words, “Mr. Zhang is joking, you You are the master, I am a student, how can I teach you? Mr. Zhang, please don’t say that again.”
Zhang Juzheng also smiled awkwardly, but he didn't think it was a joke, because after he arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion, he had clearly felt that his knowledge could not teach Prince Yu much. Zhu Zaijing and others were taught a lot by Zhu Zaijing.
Otherwise, the current Beijing Special Economic Zone and the Ming Dynasty Federal Reserve would not have been born.
Although these two new yamen do not belong to the central court in terms of sequence, their status and influence are not inferior to those of the six departments of the imperial court, and even exceed them in some aspects. Nothing less.
As long as we wait for the right time, the Capital Special Zone and the Ming Fed will become an indispensable and important part of the Ming court! This will have a profound impact on the future political situation and development of the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's problem was no longer a problem, Zhu Zaijing looked at Hai Rui again.
"What worries does Mr. Hai have here?"
Hai Rui looked at Zhu Zaijing. He hesitated for a moment and then replied: "I am worried about the toll road. I may not be able to get through the cabinet and the imperial court." Discussion, after all, the impact of this matter is too great, I am worried that the world will criticize "
Zhu Zaijing laughed and said: "The criticism in the world will not disappear because of whether you have a path or not. The thing that the world will criticize today is your path, and tomorrow the world will criticize you. Criticism may be another way if we focus on burden. If we care about others, should we continue to do things? Should the court continue to govern the world? "
"So, Mr. Hai, it is better not to focus on these so-called criticisms. People, if they could, wouldn't be there Sorry. Since ancient times, who has achieved great things only with a good reputation and no black materials? Mr. Hai, just go ahead and do it. I have already done the follow-up for you, and your majesty will help you find out and fill in the gaps. ”
