Chapter 22 Yuan Fu, I have doubts
"Enrich the country and strengthen the army." Zhang Juzheng was sitting at attention. It was a major event for the Beijing camp to promote and recruit generals, and it involved the military power of the Beijing camp.
The Ming Dynasty and Anda Khan have been fighting in Xuanda for more than ten years, but they have yet to win. The current predicament of the Ming Dynasty can probably be attributed to the failure to win. How can the Jin Party step by step? Great power, power both inside and outside the country?
It’s not that they haven’t won yet, the Jin Party has consolidated its position step by step.
If you can be like Emperor Cheng Zuwen, you can drive straight in and defeat the northern captives thousands of miles away.
Can this situation still be the case today? Does the Jin Party still have such courage?
Zhang Juzheng continued: "The ancients said that although the world is safe, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. Nowadays, the peace in the capital has been long, the military preparations have been weakened, and the officers and men are restrained by the civil servants. From now on, those generals who are loyal and brave should be given power. , so that they can display their talents. "
"The officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital, as well as the governors, towns, patrols and other officials abroad, all recruit their talents to prepare for their appointment. If you do bad things, you will be rewarded and punished. "
Zhang Juzheng quoted a sentence from the Military Book "Sima Law" at the beginning. Although the world is temporarily stable, it will definitely become dangerous if it forgets the war.
However, the military preparedness of the Ming Dynasty was weakened. The generals, generals (junior officers), and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were all controlled by civilian officials, and they were unable to move forward. The generals who were loyal and brave and capable of doing their jobs must be appropriately delegated to let the Ming Dynasty The generals display their talents.
When serving in the Beijing camp, governors, guards, governors, and fourth-rank officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty can recommend generals, and rewards and punishments are integrated. Those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished.
How to delegate power specifically?
Qi Jiguang ambushed Dong Fox, captured Dong Fox's nephew, and sent weapons to the capital. The situation was sudden. Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, only found out about it afterwards. However, Liang Menglong did not impeach Qi Jiguang for using troops secretly, but instead wrote a congratulatory form and praised him. Qi Jiguang's bravery.
This is decentralization.
The enemy has been bullied to the doorstep, and the governor and the general military officer have to discuss how to divide the credit and divide the pot. What kind of war is this? Unclear authority and responsibilities, and giving orders to many people, are the biggest taboos among the big taboos.
Who is the leader of the army? In wartime, the generals dominate.
This is decentralization.
Wang Chonggu wanted to take his dog to the capital camp to eat the imperial food, but Zhang Juzheng proposed a method that all civil and military officials inside and outside the Ming Dynasty could recommend generals.
Zhang Juzheng spoke openly and acted openly. He explained the selection method in detail and practiced it with all the generals and generals recommended to the capital camp.
How to practice specifically? According to what regulations?
Qi Jiguang wrote two military books, and he practiced according to those two military books. The Zhejiang army could bear it, but the selected generals couldn't bear it?
The ten-year-old leader of the Ming Dynasty could grit his teeth and persevere, saying that he was born a noble person. How could he be more noble than His Majesty?
Real gold is not afraid of fire, it is forged by fire, and oil is cooked by fire, and the rest are elites.
After hearing this, Feng Bao immediately clapped his hands and praised: "This is a good method! Since we want to restore the military's prestige and strengthen our troops, use this method."
"Wang Shaobao, don't you think Beijing Ying Luanlan, didn’t you say that you should not avoid relatives when you are good? Do you dare to throw in all the people on your list and practice them?”
“What are you afraid of?” He started to say: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, someone will practice favoritism, cheat, practice well, and in the end, all that will be left will be a group of people who follow the trend!"
Zhang Juzheng frowned, and looked at Wang Chonggu's expression becoming a bit colder. He stretched out his hands on the table, leaned back, and said in a calm tone: "Wang Shaobao is overly worried. The Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, and the admiral's ministers are all staring at this matter. In broad daylight, the world is bright and clear. Isn't it true that a villain is living in public, and Wang Shaobao is watching? "
As soon as Zhang Juzheng said this, the little emperor was left flipping books and blowing the curtains in the spring breeze. The noise of the whispering discussion suddenly became quiet.
Everyone was a little nervous. Zhang Juzheng usually spoke very gently, and everyone noticed the slight change in his tone.
"I hope so." Wang Chonggu noticed the change in Zhang Juzheng's tone and immediately said: "Yuanfu, I either question Yuanfu's integrity, or I'm afraid that this eunuch admiral will cause trouble for his ministers."
< br>
Yang Bo is very accurate in judging people. Wang Chonggu is irritable. Feng Baosan provoked him into a rage with just two words. This is aphasia. He said something that shouldn't be said. This can be promoted both internally and externally. Everyone will practice it and select the best. , but it was proposed by Zhang Juzheng.
Wang Chonggu suspected that someone was committing fraud, so he first pointed his gun at Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng then showed a smile and said: "No problem, I will preside over this time. If the admiral's ministers do something bad, they must be reported to His Majesty and dealt with."
Wang Chonggu Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Don't offend Zhang Juzheng to death. If you say an offensive word, Zhang Juzheng won't be so fussy about it.
Face is given to each other. Zhang Juzheng was dissatisfied. Wang Chonggu said soft words in front of so many people, so the relationship was not completely settled.
"Villain." Feng Bao scolded Wang Chonggu for being a villain. Just now when Yang Bo was talking to Zhang Juzheng, he said another eunuch, so Feng Bao wanted to scold him back.
Wang Chonggu immediately replied: "Eunuch."
"Villain."
"Wang Shaobao." Yang Bo saw the scolding resume and started to remind him again. Wang Chonggu, don't be like an eunuch.
“Hmph.”
"Hmph!"
Yang Bo stepped forward, and the scolding stopped with two cold snorts. Feng Bao refused to suffer any loss.
Wang Chonggu accepted the proposal, and everyone went to the school grounds, taking out mules and horses for a walk.
His list of letters was blocked for several months by Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War. The official impeachment was impeached. Tan Lun immediately became an official and showed an attitude that he would not be accepted even if he quit. .
If the argument continued, Zhang Juzheng became impatient and transferred all the capable Zhejiang troops to the Beijing camp. Wang Chonggu, the admiral of the Beijing camp, was completely reduced to an empty shelf and decoration.
What Zhang Juzheng said was actually Tan Lun’s idea.
Why did Tan Lun refuse to approve the list? Wang Chonggu's list was all Wang Chonggu's favor. He had to recommend it whether Wang Chonggu was willing or not.
They are all sitting in the Wenhua Hall. As one of the twenty-seven dignitaries, he has written a letter to promote generals, but he still has to consider favors and kneel down to be a noble man. What kind of noble man is he?
Even if this matter is finalized like this.
The court meetings were noisy, but under the auspices of Zhang Juzheng, most of them had a relatively good result and were dealt with extremely quickly. The examination method that had been stuck expressed his approval in Yang Bo's mouth After the opinions were expressed, the examination method was temporarily implemented in the capital, rather than being rolled out to the whole country at once.
It is not what a mature gentleman should do to make a decision with a decree on the forehead. It is the right thing to constantly sum up experience and lessons during the operation process and then promote it to the whole country.
Zhu Yijun received the new textbook "Illustrated Commentary on the Emperor's Mirror", which contains stories about kings from past dynasties written by Zhang Juzheng. Although there are only one hundred and seventeen short chapters, each one has a profound meaning. "Your Majesty, please leave." The court meeting ended amidst the noise, and the people who were waiting for the emperor to study began to enter the room.
Feng Bao said very solemnly: "Your Majesty, I heard yesterday that your Majesty was going to marry Nongsang. It was very difficult. I was anxious, so I told Yuan Fu about it and asked him to help. Think of a way, after all, it is the matter of the outer court, I can't talk too much."
"Well, you said it well today, keep it up." Zhu Yijun closed the "Four Books Direct Interpretation" and looked at Feng Bao. , nodded and said with considerable satisfaction.
Who did Feng Bao listen to? I heard it from the maid arranged by Zhang Hong of Qianqing Palace. How did Feng Bao spread the word outside the palace? Feng Bao asked his adopted son Xu Jue to go.
Zhang Hong had already informed before going to the palace in the morning.
Both internal and external parties have their own purposes and work together to promote this matter.
"Your Majesty, you praise me, you praise me, I just rely on your majesty's royal power to say something harsh to them." Feng Bao smiled broadly and said quickly, the emperor praised him, he was in the palace The status is more stable.
The emperor will eventually grow up.
Zhu Yijun did not blame Feng Bao for leaking information to the outside world. What could be disclosed and what could not be disclosed. As a senior official in the palace, Feng Bao should understand the scale.
If there is no communication between the palace and outside the palace, it is easy for misunderstandings to occur. If there is no communication between the palace and outside the palace, the emperor will be in extreme danger.
As for how to effectively, reasonably, purposefully leak out certain confidential information mixed with some false information at the right time, this is a skill that requires the skill of the ancestors.
Leaking secrets is a method in itself.
What Zhu Yijun admires very much about Feng Bao is Feng Bao's level of "Qi Ren Jing". Zhang Hong's temperament is probably very difficult to imitate.
Feng Baochang breathed a sigh of relief, holding his hands and smiling broadly. His Majesty praised him and did not blame him for passing on the news. This proved that his position was more secure.
"Mr. Yuan Fu is a great talent." Zhu Yijun was reading and listening to politics. Zhang Juzheng handled it with ease.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng accepted the praise proudly. His talent and virtuous ability were worthy of His Majesty's praise.
At the beginning of preaching and solving doubts, it was still the Analects of Confucius and the books of sages, but Zhang Juzheng always felt that the little emperor's understanding was a bit strange, and the books of sages were all changed beyond recognition by the emperor's annotations.
Did Confucius really mean that?
Telling the little emperor a banquet even gave Zhang Juzheng a feeling of sitting down and talking about Taoism. However, all the little emperor's comments were formed after questions and answers. They were spoken by Zhang Juzheng himself, which seems to be the way they should be.
Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and said: "Zigong said: How about being poor without flattery, or being rich without arrogance? Confucius said: Yes. It is not like being poor and happy, but being rich is also good at courtesy."
"Flattery: humiliation. Arrogance: presumptuous and arrogant. Yes, it is possible, but not to the extreme."
"Zigong asked the Master: How about being poor but not flattering, rich but not arrogant? What? Confucius said: "Okay. But they are not as good as those who are poor but can enjoy Taoism, and those who are rich but can be polite. "
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked, "What does Mr. Yuan Fu mean? "
Zhang Juzheng replied: "When ordinary people are poor, they have no intention of groveling, and when they are rich, they have no intention of being arrogant. This is already extremely rare. "
"If you can be poor and cold, but still enjoy pursuing the way of saints, and be rich and noble, and still pursue etiquette, then you are far beyond ordinary people. The master's answer to Zigong was to encourage him to pursue a state that he had not yet reached. "
"It is said: Don't flatter the poor and humble; don't be arrogant if you are rich; live in poverty and follow the Tao; be rich and courteous. "
"That's it. Zhu Yijun nodded with certainty and asked: "Yuan Fu, I have doubts." ”
“If a person is in poverty, has no food to eat, and no clothing to cover his body. When walking, the gravel on the road wears the soles of his feet. At this time, someone says that if you kneel down and kowtow, you will have food, and you will have food. Wearing clothes, there are shoes to block the pain of gravel. Yuan Fu teaches me, how can this person not kneel? ”
Zhang Juzheng frowned, and many scenes flashed before his eyes, and said: "No, that's why I have to live in poverty and worship the Tao."
Zhu Yijun asked doubtfully: "Since you have to kneel down, flatter and be humble, you can't do it. If you are poor and humble, you will not be able to pursue the path of saints."
"Yes," Zhang Juzheng replied.
Zhu Yijun continued to ask: "If a person is rich and noble, and he injures a humble person, one punch costs three cents, ten punches cost fifty cents, and killing the person costs one tael of silver, or even one tael of silver. No one is punished for beating someone to death, someone is covering up for him, and he does evil without knowing it. Yuan Fu taught me, how can this person not be so arrogant?"
Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time, then bowed his head and said: "I can't. . That’s why you have to be rich and polite.”
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: “Since you are arrogant and arrogant, you can’t be rich without being arrogant, let alone be rich and polite.”
"Of course." Zhang Juzheng replied.
This exchange between the emperor and his ministers caused the Wenhua Hall to fall into silence. When the sage book was read to this point, there seemed to be some unexplainable phenomena. The emperor was asking, is there such a great talent as Zhang Juzheng? It seems that it cannot be explained by the teachings of saints.
What did Zhu Yijun ask?
The little good man punches the slave and throws down three copper coins. The slave will be grateful.
From then on, the little good people knew that it only cost three cents to hit someone, some money for ten punches, and there was no need to be afraid of killing someone. Someone would help cover it up. In the eyes of the little good people, doing evil is not evil at all. Is that person still a human being?
No.
In the eyes of a little kind person, a person becomes an object.
People are just objects, so why should we talk about being arrogant, rich and studious?
Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "If the poverty and hardship do not change, they will eventually be flattering and servile. If they are rich and noble, without restraint, they will inevitably become arrogant and arrogant. Over time, the world will decline, and rituals and music will collapse. Bad."
"Said:..." Zhu Yijun picked up the pencil and wrote a few words.
Pursuing reading is very important! Who do I wish Lin and my sister-in-law are talking about again. Thank you all for the tips, thank you very much. Kowtow, kowtow, ask for all support, ah oh, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ! ! ! ! ! ! ! (づ￣3￣)づ
