Chapter 530 The Ming Dynasty is Supremacy
Sometimes political changes are changes that accumulate over time and take a long time, but sometimes changes can also be sudden changes in a moment.
For example, Zhu Zaijing's supervision of the country in the Wenhua Palace was originally regarded as a significant signal that Zhu Zaijing's position as crown prince was stable.
Under the real political rules, they still did not take Prince Yu who was sitting in the Wenhua Palace as a big deal.
But now Zhu Zaijing raised his hand and issued an "order to supervise the country". When he saw the ministers who came to see him, he called himself "Gu".
With such a change, even the veterans who had been in officialdom for a long time were confused by this scene.
Does His Majesty the Emperor want to take the Zen throne?
For a moment, the thoughts in the Wenhua Hall were like a mess, making it impossible to grasp a clue.
But now is not the time to grasp this clue, but to answer well what Zhu Zaijing said and asked at the moment. This is the business.
Zhu Zaijing glanced at Xu Jie and said lightly, "Mr. Xu Ge speaks first."
This is not a good thing about respecting the old and loving the young. It is obviously just to let Xu Jie express an attitude and let him think carefully about whether he wants to continue to be friends with each other, or to become estranged and become "ungrateful" in the eyes of a group of court ministers. representative.
Of course, this kind of "ungratefulness" is not really ungrateful in the officialdom. After all, Yan Song killed Xia Yan, who had promoted him and took care of him, and sent him to Caishikou.
Now Zhu Zaijing just asked Xu Jie to express his attitude on the spot. It was not a big deal to cut ties with the Yan family.
Xu Jie glanced at the aloof Zhu Zaijing with a hint of fear and uneasiness.
He suddenly discovered that this prince was really more difficult to serve than His Majesty the Emperor.
When His Majesty the Emperor has a problem, it's just a riddle, so that people have time to guess, and even if they can't guess, they can come back from another angle.
But now Zhu Zaijing didn't even give him time and just asked him to speak first.
Xu Jie felt really uncomfortable now.
Xu Jie hesitated. Gao Gong, Zhao Wenhua, Yan Ne and others stared at him. They were also looking at what the lucky new chief minister could say to treat the old chief minister in a fair way.
Zhu Zaijing did not rush Xu Jie, he just sat in his seat, still looking at Xu Jie lightly.
At this moment, his pressure was obviously invisible and huge.
At the same time, King Jing Zhu Zaizhen, who was also standing in the hall, was also shocked by the scene of Zhu Zaijing.
He also felt that the way Zhu Zaijing looked at him now was very similar to the oppressive feeling Emperor Jiajing once gave him.
So at this moment, Zhu Zaizhen couldn't help but look at Zhu Zaijing with a bit of real awe.
Xu Jie also knew that he could no longer delay speaking. At this moment, Xu Jie finally spoke with difficulty.
Xu Jie said: "I believe that the crimes committed by Yan Shifan should be punished according to the court's laws."
After Xu Jie finished saying this, he paused.
But obviously this sentence did not satisfy Zhu Zaijing, because his sentence was a repetition of what Zhu Zaijing said before, but in a different way.
So Zhu Zaijing continued to ask calmly: "Then how to measure the crime and how heavy the crime is?"
Zhu Zaijing's words were tantamount to a showdown. He just wanted Xu Jie to say something accurate, not an ambiguous word about the wheel.
After all, Zhu Zaijing was not a person like Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing himself didn't like to tell the truth, and he would not seriously ask his ministers to say accurate things. He only likes to rely on the final results of things, and then use what he has not fully said before, so that his subordinates can continue to maintain or continue to improve.
To maintain its absolutely non-stick properties.
In order to achieve the effect that all good things are done by me and bad things are done by you.
But is there such a good thing in this world?
If it were true, Hai Rui in history would not have been extremely stubborn and sent a "Public Security Notice" to Emperor Jiajing with a confused face and a slap in the face.
Therefore, sometimes you want to use your non-stick pan attitude to shirk responsibility, but in fact the responsibility lies entirely on yourself. It is just because of everyone's temporary fear that no one dares to tell the truth.
But as long as the time comes and the opportunity comes, all the responsibilities and backlash will be multiplied.
Therefore, there is no one in this world who can really take away all the responsibilities and faults. If there is such a person, such a person will definitely be cast aside by everyone.
Zhu Zaijing is different from Emperor Jiajing. He deeply understands his position and his current identity, which has destined him to be unable to shirk any responsibility.
So since he can't shirk it, Zhu Zaijing will definitely not let Xu Jie and his gang handle the problem in the original way.
He must let Xu Jie and the others understand that times have changed and you must change with them, otherwise I will replace him.
Xu Jie struggled with his heart. After Zhu Zaijing asked another question, he had to say something accurate.
Xu Jie said: "I think we should first let the Three Law Departments collect all the evidence, witnesses, etc. involved in Yan Shifan's case. After the Three Law Departments have verified that these evidences and witnesses are correct, I can communicate with the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, etc. The crime of Yan Shifan was planned together."
Zhu Zaijing said: "Well, in order for Mr. Ge to quickly report this matter to His Majesty Gu and His Majesty, I will order you to be the presiding judge of Yan Shifan's case. Remember to be serious and serious, and there must be no There must be no partiality and perversion of the law.”
After Xu Jie heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He had passed the test.
Then Xu Jie bowed deeply to Zhu Zaijing: "I obey!"
Zhu Zaijing looked at Xu Jie who was bowing again, and the expression on his face changed. He smiled and said: "Mr. Ge is now the chief minister of the cabinet, and Mr. Yan Ge is just asking him to stay at home temporarily, so I am alone." I thought Mr. Ge should pay a visit to Mr. Yan, explain His Majesty’s intentions, and let Mr. Yan take care of himself at home and not be sad because of Yan Shifan’s case.”
"At the same time, I also ask Mr. Ge to tell Mr. Yan Ge that the court will not forget his dedication and hard work for the court for so many years. He must take good care of his health and witness His Majesty's Jiacheng era together!"
After Xu Jie heard Zhu Zaijing's words, he quickly bowed again: "I obey my order, I will definitely comfort Mr. Yan Ge and let Mr. Yan Ge rest at home and recuperate."
Zhu Zaijing hummed, "Then I'm sorry, you can go ahead. I won't leave you alone."
Xu Jie bowed again: "I will retire."
Watching Xu Jie leave, other people in the Wenhua Palace had different expressions and had very different thoughts in their hearts. Originally, they thought that Xu Jie becoming the first assistant would be a good thing.
But now based on Zhu Zaijing's attitude and Xu Jie's performance just now, several people unanimously felt in their hearts that Xu Jie, the first assistant, was in trouble.
Although it was difficult for Yan Song, at least he could make the decision on some things. After all, Emperor Jiajing had been cultivating immortality in the deep palace of Xiyuan.
So to a certain extent, Yan Song had certain independent powers that he could exercise or influence inside and outside the court.
But now, although His Majesty the Emperor is still cultivating immortality in Xiyuan, he has released Prince Yu to the Wenhua Palace to supervise the country and declare him an orphan. This is equivalent to putting a tight spell on Xu Jie and assigning him a supervisor to report to.
Therefore, this is equivalent to Xu Jie's promotion as the first assistant being in vain. He should still be under the control of King Yu like his little wife, and he should continue to carefully maintain the mentality of the second assistant.
This shows that Xu Jie is really difficult and unlucky.
The daughter-in-law finally became a mother-in-law, but now she has a baby daddy!
This mother-in-law has spent her life in vain.
Zhu Zaijing withdrew his gaze, and so did Zhao Wenhua, Gao Gong, Yan Ne and others.
At this time, Zhu Zaijing said to Meng Chong again: "Bring a chair to Prince Jing and several ministers, and we will sit down and talk."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Meng Chong responded with a yes, and immediately called to the other servants in the hall to bring over some chairs placed in the corner.
Zhu Zaizhen, Zhao Wenhua, Gao Gong, Yan Na and others bowed to Zhu Zaijing: "Thank you, Brother Wang (Prince)."
Watching these people also sit down.
Zhu Zaijing continued: "Did you all hear what Mr. Xu Ge said just now? You must be extremely serious about Yan Shifan's case, and you must not be slack or scornful in the slightest."
"I know that in recent years, because of Mr. Yan Ge's position as the chief assistant, he has also offended many people. Although some of them were indeed dealt with by Mr. Yan Ge in disgraceful ways, there are also many people who were punished because of them. The problem of one’s own ability was dealt with.”
"So, when handling Yan Shifan's case, as I said before, we must distinguish his affairs from Yan Ge Lao's affairs, and we must not allow a so-called 'anti-Yan' victory to arise inside and outside the court. Sound.”
"We should let the government and the public understand that merit is merit and fault is fault. If you have merit, you will recognize it and ask your majesty to reward you; if you make a mistake, you will also punish it, and you will ask your majesty to deal with it."
"But if someone uses Yan Shifan's case to make a fuss, trying to set off a black-and-white political storm inside and outside the government, and destroy the Ming Dynasty's prosperous situation, I will never be merciful and will definitely let anyone try to use this matter. Those who cause trouble will pay a heavy price.”
"So from now on, the Jinyiwei must shoulder their responsibilities and monitor officials inside and outside the capital as well as public opinion. However, if any negative remarks that affect the stability of the court and problems that are detrimental to the unity of the court occur, the Jinyiwei can exercise the power to arrest and interrogate."
When Zhu Zaizhen heard Zhu Zaijing say this, he immediately stood up and replied: "My brother, I obey!"
Then, Zhu Zaijing continued: "Zhao Qing was the adopted son of Mr. Yan Ge before, so he should be familiar with many so-called Yan Party members, right?"
When Zhao Wenhua heard this, he couldn't sit still and immediately stood up. "I am dedicated to serving the public good. I have always met them by chance and have not participated too much."
Zhu Zaijing chuckled and said: "Zhao Qing, don't be so nervous. What I mean is that since you are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and one of the chief judges of Yan Shifan's crime in the Tri-Faculty Division, I hope you can set an example and let those who Officials who were still willing to work for the court with peace of mind, but had to rely on the strict party before, felt at ease.”
"As long as they can still devote themselves to their work and there will no longer be problems in the future, I can let go of the past and let them continue to serve in their original positions. There is no need to worry about the impact of Yan Ge's resignation and Yan Shifan's crimes on his career. .”
"What Gu wants them to do is so simple. Can Zhao Qing understand what Gu wants?"
Zhao Wenhua immediately bowed again: "I understand that I will handle this matter properly and never cause any trouble."
Zhu Zaijing nodded slightly and said: "Very good."
Then Zhu Zaijing said: "Actually, I did this not because I thought the members of the Yan Party were very good. I just wanted to have a smooth transition time. If other officials with outstanding abilities stand out during this period, I will do the same. It is also the meeting that entrusts him with important tasks to fully demonstrate his abilities.”
"But if Gu allowed Yan Ge to take office and a series of chain reactions after Yan Shifan's crime was discovered, the entire court was suddenly caught up in self-proving innocence and political attacks on previous identities and positions, which made the current policy formulated by the court The stagnation of important national policies is the unfavorable responsibility of the country.”
"So, I hope you can understand Gu's good intentions and understand the hard-won prosperity of today. I don't think that hundreds of years later, when history is recording us, it will focus more on the imperial court. On the issue of party struggle ”
"I hope that thousands of years later, when future generations look at this period of our history, they will sigh with emotion and think that during the Jiajing Dynasty, the emperor and officials had been working together to prosper the Ming Dynasty! And each of you Everyone, including Gu, can get a positive evaluation from history, rather than saying who won and who lost.”
"Because from Gu's point of view, as long as there are winners and losers, the loser is the Jiajing prosperous age that Gu and His Majesty worked so hard to create, but it was destroyed by the struggle for interests between you."
"So, whoever dares to destroy the current trend that His Majesty Gu He has worked so hard to create, I will let him be infamy for thousands of years!"
Zhu Zaijing's words were actually a showdown warning. He did not allow Gao Gong and others to take advantage of Yan Song's downfall to engage in small political maneuvers.
Because in Zhu Zaijing's heart, he did not have a clear-cut political camp like the ministers.
There is no distinction between the so-called strict party and the so-called clean stream.
In Zhu Zaijing's eyes, the Ming Dynasty had only one position, and that was the supremacy of the Ming Dynasty!
Whoever dares to violate this position, whether he is a so-called strict party or a so-called clean stream, Zhu Zaijing will not make it easy for him.
Therefore, when Zhu Zaijing hires people, he will not look at whether the person has been a strict party member in the past. He only looks at the person's ability and loyalty, and whether he can match the current problems.
Just like today's Zhao Wenhua, if Qingliu's faction is really allowed to attack the original Yan Party officials after Yan Song's fall, then Zhao Wenhua will inevitably be attacked by Qingliu.
At this time, the attack on Zhao Wenhua was not actually aimed at Party Yan itself, but at Zhu Zaijing's way of employing people. This is absolutely intolerable.
Otherwise, whoever Zhu Zaijing wants to use in the future and what he wants to do will all depend on the faces of those people?
If this is really going to happen, Zhu Zaijing might as well move home from the Wenhua Palace now, be a leisurely prince, and raise children in the back house of his palace when he has nothing to do.
Obviously, Zhu Zaijing was unwilling to do this.
He also has ideals and ambitions, so when it comes to hiring people, Zhu Zaijing must have the courage to accept all rivers and be decisive, and must not let his will be swayed by some opinions and views.
