Chapter 519: A wave of the pen can kill someone
Gao Gong looked at Zhu Zaijing at this moment, his heart was full of emotion and joy, even if Zhu Zaijing was "beating" him with words at this moment, he was still happy with it.
Because this moment is also the result of Gao Gong waiting for many years.
Although Zhu Zaijing has not been officially appointed as the crown prince, except that Zhu Zaijing is not as good as the crown prince in terms of clothing and etiquette regulations, his power and status are even greater than those of a serious prince. and.
What's more, the Jiajing Dynasty has not had a living prince for more than ten years.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing at this moment is undoubtedly the true prince without the name of prince!
Gao Gong bowed deeply and said, "I will remember your teachings."
Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong's current state, and his heart was filled with emotion.
Because Zhu Zaijing also knew how violent Gao Gong's temper was in the original historical records. Not only could he not get along well with his colleagues, he would even fight with political opponents because of disputes. He did not look like a cultivated and magnanimous person. A senior minister, but like a street gangster fighting for supremacy.
But this cannot be said to be inferior to Gao Gong. You must know that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty liked to fight, which was also a tradition, and their fighting records were also quite bloody, and they even beat people to death in front of the emperor.
This kind of fiery personality, this kind of political fighting that starts at the slightest disagreement, has happened in the parliaments of democratic countries that Zhu Zaijing knows.
So it can be seen that the political version of Ming Dynasty was many years ahead of later generations.
But it is a pity that they originate from internal struggles without supervision. The final vicious consequence of the struggle is constant party fighting, and they even sacrifice national interests for the sake of party fighting.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing also wanted to nip it in the bud and kill their desperate party behavior as soon as possible.
Of course, Zhu Zaijing would not hope that the ministers below him would be harmonious. If they were all harmonious, wouldn't this mean that Zhu Zaijing would become their only target?
Therefore, they must continue the small-scale struggle, and Zhu Zaijing must stop the struggle that exceeds the bottom line.
Zhu Zaijing continued to look at Gao Gong and said: "Mr. Gao, how is the situation of the staff now? I remember that last year, His Majesty asked you to take charge of the officials' salaries and the Beijing officials' housing provident fund. These things can be done now How’s it going?”
As soon as Gao Gong heard Zhu Zaijing's words, he knew that Zhu Zaijing was not asking him about the result, but about the current attitude of the officials.
Gao Gong said: "I am still investigating the living conditions of the officials in the capital and their attitude towards this matter. Therefore, a temporary plan has not yet been formed."
Zhu Zaijing nodded slightly, and then said: "This matter is not a trivial matter, it is a major matter that affects two thousand officials in the capital, and Nanjing will definitely watch this situation in the capital. So if this matter really needs to be carried out, It may be an important event that affects three to four thousand officials.”
"Therefore, if you want to collect opinions, you can't just collect opinions from the capital. Mr. Gao should discuss with Minister Guo Pu to see if it is necessary to write a document on Nanjing and let the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs also investigate the situation of Nanjing officials simultaneously."
"Let's see if they have different views on this matter, so that your officials will not rush out the plan and make all parties dissatisfied. Isn't this a mistake in your work?"
Gao Gong bowed again, "What the prince said is very true. After I return, I will discuss the matter with Minister Guo, write a letter to Nanjing as soon as possible, and ask the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs to also investigate the situation of Nanjing officials."
Zhu Zaijing nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
This matter requires that the appearance and gestures be sufficient, otherwise, after receiving the benefits, these officials from the capital would pretend to be aloof and curse others, which would not be a good phenomenon.
Therefore, in order to prevent the evil of human nature, and also to prevent these people from picking up the bowl to eat and leaving the bowl to curse, sometimes some measures are necessary, even if the plans themselves are for them, they have to be like this.
After all, human nature is like this. If they can't touch their human nature and do this well, then there will definitely be problems in the end.
After saying this, Zhu Zaijing set his sights on Zhao Wenhua again.
The feeling towards Zhao Wenhua, whether it was Zhu Zaijing himself or Li Chunfang and Gao Gong present, was actually quite abrupt.
Although Zhao Wenhua has now changed his family and joined King Yu's family, Zhao Wenhua still seems to be Yan Song's ironclad, both emotionally and openly.
But this time Zhu Zaijing also left it to speak, which undoubtedly sent an obvious and strong signal to the cabinet and officials. The Zhao Wenhua of today is no longer the Zhao Wenhua of the past.
Now Zhao Wenhua can no longer be viewed with the eyes of a strict party.
At the same time, whether it was the cabinet or the officials, they could not help but be shocked to discover that the unobtrusive and impeccable supervisory prince actually had three of the six departments in his hands without them noticing.
And one of them is already a bachelor of Wuyingdian and one of the elders of the cabinet.
So at this time, whether it is other cabinet ministers or officials in the capital, they can no longer look at Zhu Zaijing with the mentality of a child.
Because now Zhu Zaijing is no longer the ignorant prince they imagined. He already has his own solid team, and he already has methods and techniques of controlling people that are unfamiliar to the officials.
Therefore, with this kind of mentality and understanding, they originally thought that King Yu's supervision of the country could make them relax, but it seemed that they could not relax much.
But even so, these officials are still happy to see this change.
After all, these hundreds of officials have been ministers under Emperor Jiajing for decades. Many of them have never even seen Emperor Jiajing, and the Taojun Emperor often comes up with new tricks unexpectedly. The officials under my command are left to guess.
This feeling is undoubtedly frightening for the officials.
Because not all of them are talented enough to write Qing Ci, so when they see others being promoted by writing Qing Ci, it is wrong for these people to say that they are not envious.
So even if people are to be replaced now, this will undoubtedly be an opportunity for those officials who are not good at writing Qing Ci.
If the things he does or his conduct are valued by the prison prince, then he may be able to prosper in the future.
However, this is also the wishful thinking of these officials. Even if Zhu Zaijing is optimistic about someone, he will not make any personnel and administrative changes while supervising the country in Wenhua Palace.
Now it is still necessary to maintain the previous style of Emperor Jiajing and continue to let the court proceed in accordance with the previously established policies and guidelines. If there are any changes, it will be to do something that does not touch the essence of imperial power.
Otherwise, if things went wrong and Emperor Jiajing felt that Zhu Zaijing was just a child pretending to understand and act willfully, then wouldn't all the years of hard work and forbearance be in vain?
Therefore, during this period of time, Zhu Zaijing's idea was also very simple: read more and talk less.
So even if you want to say something, you must tell the people on your side. Even if you want to do something, you must explain it in a direction that you can control.
And this is the true meaning of Zhu Zaijing's supervision of the country this time.
Zhu Zaijing glanced at Zhao Wenhua, but he did not say anything like he told Li Chunfang and Gao Gong, but just looked at him.
After Zhao Wenhua was glanced at by Zhu Zaijing, he immediately understood what Zhu Zaijing meant. Zhao Wenhua took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I have recently received a lot of evidence of illegal officials, but the officials involved in these evidences are somewhat sensitive, so I don't know how to deal with it at the moment. I hope your Majesty can give me some advice."
After Zhu Zaijing heard this, he felt the same as Ming Jing. He pretended to be curious and said, "What evidence of illegal officials has Zhao Shangshu received?"
Zhao Wenhua was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly: "I have received a lot of illegal evidence about some officials of the Ministry of Industry."
As soon as Zhao Wenhua said these words, Li Chunfang, who was still thinking about drinking tea leisurely, was startled. He stopped moving and looked at Zhao Wenhua with eyes full of disbelief.
You must know that if Zhao Wenhua is today, Li Chunfang's contribution is not small.
Now that Li Chunfang is also serving as the Minister of Industry, Zhao Wenhua made a big move on the first day that Prince Yu came to Wenhua Hall to supervise the country. What is he going to do?
And to put it bluntly, before Li Chunfang took over as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the previous Minister was Zhao Wenhua himself. Could it be that he was out of his mind?
Do you want to play a stupid tactic of killing a thousand enemies and damaging yourself by eight hundred?
But looking at Zhao Wenhua, it seems that he is not such a person.
So at this moment, even though Li Chunfang was a little nervous, he did not immediately stand up to clarify or refute the matter. He also wanted to see what Zhao Wenhua could say.
Zhu Zaijing also looked at Zhao Wenhua calmly and said: "Is it really from the Ministry of Industry?"
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
Zhao Wenhua immediately said: "The report to the prince is not from the Ministry of Works, but from some officials of the Ministry of Works."
Zhu Zaijing said oh again, and Li Chunfang on the side couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this sentence. It turned out that he was treating someone wrong, so this is much better.
So at this moment, Li Chunfang looked at Zhao Wenhua with a much more pleasing look.
At the same time, Gao Gong couldn't help but glance at Zhao Wenhua silently. He also felt that what Zhao Wenhua said today was really interesting.
To be able to suppress first and then promote like this is a talent.
No wonder he could take a look at Yan Song, who was still a minister of the Imperial Academy, and dared to go out and worship him as his godfather.
With this vision and decisive character, it would be difficult for such a person not to be promoted.
Zhao Wenhua continued: "I have recently received many reports of illegal things committed by Yan Shifan, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, Yan Shifan was not only trusted and valued by your majesty before, but he was also the only son of Mr. Yan Ge. So after seeing these evidences, I I feel a little nervous and don’t know what to do.”
"Moreover, as we all know, I am still the adopted son of Mr. Yan Ge. Now that I have received so much evidence about Yan Shifan's crimes, I have lost my opinion for a while, and I don't know whether I should kill my relatives out of justice."
As soon as Zhao Wenhua said these words, Zhu Zaijing also felt happy. He knew that what Zhao Wenhua was going to say was about Yan Shifan's crimes, but he didn't expect that Zhao Wenhua was a person who didn't take revenge overnight. He collected Yan Shifan's crimes in just a few days. A big box.
It seems that in Zhao Wenhua's heart, he also hates Yan Shifan, the second generation ancestor who relied on his father to run rampant.
At the same time, the expressions on the faces of Li Chunfang and Gao Gong also became exciting. They couldn't help but look at each other, as if they were asking each other what was going on?
After all, as Zhao Wenhua said, this matter can really be regarded as an act of righteousness.
The word "killing relatives for justice" sounds like a good word, but in fact it is not a good word.
Once a person gets involved with this word, his life may be ruined.
Not only is it difficult to gain recognition from relatives, it is also difficult to be trusted by colleagues or superiors.
Because in the eyes of relatives, colleagues and superiors, this kind of person is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
After all, the people they step on to succeed are not others, but their own "relatives." It is understandable that such people are disgusting.
Moreover, in ancient legal thought, if a relative commits a crime and a family member conceals it or helps conceal it, it is not considered a crime, except of course for treason.
Therefore, it can be seen that Zhao Wenhua now wants to exterminate his relatives out of justice, and he really can't deal with Li Chunfang and Gao Gong.
But after the two looked at each other, they seemed to understand something.
To say that Zhao Wenhua and Yan Shifan are relatives is a bit far-fetched.
After all, Zhao Wenhua is a godfather, not a godbrother.
Therefore, his act of annihilating relatives for the sake of justice is not so straightforward.
But if Yan Shifan is really killed, he can be regarded as righteously killing Yan Song. After all, Yan Song is his only son.
Zhu Zaijing looked at Zhao Wenhua with approval. His thoughts and thinking were different from those of Li Chunfang, Gao Gong and others.
Killing relatives for the sake of justice may be a moral shackles for scholars, but for heroes who care about the world, it is simply a common occurrence.
You must know that from ancient times to the present, among the heroes who have struggled to rise to power, which one has not stained their hands with the blood of their relatives?
But as long as they succeed and make achievements that are recognized by the world, then the relatives they kill will be automatically classified as mediocre or evil by history, and there will naturally be great Confucians who will argue for them.
Just like Qin Shihuang threw his mother Zhao Ji's son to death in front of his face, Emperor Wen of Han killed his uncle, Emperor Wu of Han killed his own son, and Emperor Taizong of Tang also hacked his brother to death and forced his father to abdicate.
And Emperor Chengzu of this dynasty used the banner of Qingjun to keep little Jianwen's whereabouts unknown. No one can say that they did anything wrong.
Of course some of this is wrong, but so what? The emperor's heart is originally the heart of a single husband.
For a single husband, except for power and his own ideals, nothing else is important.
Therefore, scholars like Li Chunfang and Gao Gong may feel that it is not good to destroy relatives for justice, but in Zhu Zaijing's eyes, a lonely minister who is not a human inside and outside is now needed to do things.
And Zhao Wenhua just fits this definition, so it will be much easier to let him continue to follow this need and wait until he is used to deal with some officials who even Zhu Zaijing feels uncomfortable putting away in the future.
At least this kind of person can share the firepower of bad public opinion for Zhu Zaijing, and allow Zhu Zaijing to be a good person while also threatening people's lives with a wave of his pen!
