Chapter 416: My mother, I miss you again(1/2)
Zhu Youxiao ordered his head.
He knew that Yuan Keli made such a suggestion to safeguard the imperial power.
Not long after.
The cabinet issued an edict, and ordered the Ministry of Personnel to recommend the imperial relatives of the royal family to be selected as the Beijing officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Censorate, the Sixth Corps, the School Department, and the Imperial College.
Although this is a decision that the emperor and cabinet ministers have reached.
However, after this edict was issued, it still caused great shock among civil servants.
In particular, the orders that can allow relatives from the royal family to serve as censors are the least acceptable to civil officials.
Everyone knows that in the Ming Dynasty, censors had great power.
Although I am strong and smart today, I cannot slander others at will and must report it with evidence, the censors' supervision power is still very deterrent.
If the royal family and relatives were asked to join the censor camp, civil officials in the world would have to be more restrained than before.
"Can the relatives of the clan be appointed as the censor of the guidao? Who doesn't know that the relatives of the clan have always been incorruptible, greedy for money and excessive plunder? If they were the censors and ministers, wouldn't it be that the Censorate and the Sixth Corps become the Ministry of Revenue from then on, and they are their own Ministry of Revenue. Why did the cabinet ministers not post a notice to block it?"
Cui Jingrong, Minister of Personnel, was shocked after receiving this imperial edict.
Therefore, Cui Jingrong hurried to the cabinet. After seeing Yuan Keli and others, he said, "Yuanfu, all the cabinet masters, why did the imperial court suddenly issue this order? I, the Ming Dynasty, aren't there any shortage of scholars to be an official? I have to find someone from the royal family and relatives to get together?"
"This is not the matter of a lack of scholars to be an official! Didn't Otsukatsu see that? This shows that Your Majesty is very disappointed with many of our civil servants. Now he has specially used the relatives of the clan to check and balance each other. The emperor's plan is profound, so we have to carefully understand the profound meaning."
Yuan Keli replied.
"Well, let's leave."
Cui Jingrong replied helplessly.
Through Yuan Keli's answer, he realized that the cabinet ministers had reached an agreement with His Majesty the Emperor, and it was useless to oppose him as the Minister of Personnel.
When Cui Jingrong returned to the Ministry of Personnel, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel were already in a turmoil because of this incident and were talking about it.
Now that he saw Cui Jingrong coming back, Zhang Xin, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department, immediately came forward: "Master of Otsuka! May I ask, is there any room for obstruction in this matter?"
Cui Jingrong said: "The imperial edict has been issued, how can it be rejected? Everyone should do their best to perform their duties in the future! Don't make any mistakes, so as not to suffer more lawsuits."
Cui Jingrong reminded him a few words.
He actually doesn't care that the royal family's relatives are involved in areas such as supervision and academic administration.
After all, he asked himself that being an official was considered honest.
But Cui Jingrong knew that some of the officials under him were still selling official positions and titles, and at least many were still collecting ice and charcoal.
There is no way, dogs can't change their shit.
Many officials even feel that they are successful because they are not noticed and are very accomplished.
I feel sorry for not making a fuss for myself for studying hard for ten years.
Human nature is like this, and it is inevitable, and the worldly style cannot be changed day by day.
Most officials are not for the sake of the country or the Zhu family.
Therefore, when Emperor Taizu was cutting down one by one, he could not completely stop it. Officials who were lucky enough to satisfy their greed in various ways.
Therefore, Cui Jingrong knew that if there were serious royal nobles who became censors and did not maintain the reputation of civil servants and officials, but directly exposed them, there would definitely be more civil servants and heads to the ground.
He also had to admit that in order to maintain a high degree of purity in the administration and to make the court flourish, the emperors are really trying their best to tighten the spells on the civil servants, and they have added one after another.
Therefore, he now took the initiative to remind these civil servants.
"But such an order does violate the laws of ancestors, and the officials below are foolish in their opinion. The ministry should dismiss this order from the cabinet."
Zhang Xin said with a wry smile.
"Nonsense! Taizu still used his son-in-law to serve as the governor of the academic affairs and also to manage local affairs. His Majesty is still doing the same routine. How can he violate the ancestral system? Besides, there are also many talents among the relatives of the royal family, but they are not all those who are unlearning and ignorant. If they can be used by the court, it will be a blessing for the world. Why did the Ministry of Personnel refute? It cannot be continued!"
Cui Jingsheng loudly scolded Zhang Xinlai.
"yes!"
Zhang Xin agreed repeatedly.
But as soon as he returned to the Wenxuan Department, he said to several of the officials in the Wenxuan Department, the head of the official: "I believe you have understood the meaning of the Otsutoku-san just now. How can the relatives of the royal family have noble character and outstanding talents be basically ignorant people. How can they compare their integrity with us literati? After studying hard, what we have been determined to be a passion for serving the court, not like a playboy, a greedy man, and only know how to make money and profit! Therefore, even if there is a new policy on selecting officials, we have to follow the common rules, just like a Jinshi who is better than a Juren, and a Juren is better than a Juren, and then a Juren is better than a student. In the future, he will still choose a scholar as an official first. There are not enough scholars, so we can get together with mixed ways!"
"But what if there are relatives from the royal family willing to give rice (referring to gold and silver)?"
One of the main people asked.
Zhang Xin said: "That's a different matter!"
"clear!"
The main story replied.
...
"Although Cui Jingrong, the old fox, said righteous words, make people unable to catch any tricks. He spoke in an official manner, I believe that some civil officials who are as smart as before will still be recommended as before. They only recommend some literati and officials as officials. Although the new policy has been promulgated, if I really want to choose some talented people from the royal family to contribute to the court, I have to use it myself. Moreover, as I said to the eighth sister, the relatives of the royal family want to fight for some rights and interests for themselves, and relying on themselves as the emperor is not enough, and they have to fight for more."
Zhu Youxiao's response from the Ministry of Personnel to the new policy of selecting officials from the East Factory, he complained a few words in his heart.
Then, Zhu Youxiao continued to ask Wei Zhongxian: "Whoever is all arrested and imprisoned in prison for being suspected of having sex in the palace and making friends with the officials in the inner court?"
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly replied: "Just just about to report to the emperor, among these criminals, Feng Quan suddenly disappeared. I guessed that he must have bribed the Shoucheng Banner School in advance and fled out. The East Factory was dereliction of duty. Please punish the emperor!"
"Forget it! There are inevitably fish that miss the net. Continue to increase the intensity of the search. He can run away, but the monk can't run away from the temple! It's not that he, Feng Quan, can still be someone else's traitor!"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.
At the beginning of his ascension, he reused Feng Quan in order to suppress the Donglin Party.
But Zhu Youxiao knew that Feng Quan was not a good person, and he was not a good person in terms of character, and he was indeed a person with power. Otherwise, he would not have been a Grand Secretary of the Qing Dynasty in history, but should have died for his priesthood, and at the least he was retired.
He was not surprised that Feng Quan committed the crime.
"What the emperor said!"
Wei Zhongxian replied.
As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao had to worry about a lot of things.
The civil servants of the Ministry of Personnel may have perfunctory practices of the new policy and Feng Quan's escape, so he put it aside.
There is another important thing now, and he needs to make arrangements.
This is the new-style education that was piloted in the imperial village.
Zhu Youchao reviewed the eunuch in charge of this matter, Han Zanzhou, instructed: "Five years ago, the first batch of students trained by Huangzhuang Getun Society have now reached the time to graduate, but most of them are not over fifteen years old and are used directly to do things, which is still too young. Therefore, next, let them continue to study, but what they need to continue to learn needs to be further subdivided";
"First of all, it is necessary to organize an examination to test their learning situation and follow the scientific examination method. However, the judgment is based on the existing percentage system of Huangzhuang Society, and the level of scores and physical fitness and martial arts is judged. I will appoint several examiners to take the examination in the recent period, and then give them excellent levels. The excellent ones will continue to be trained by the inner court, and set up a Royal Academy in the capital to study in the Royal Academy and continue to learn more profound various kinds of knowledge;
Those who are not excellent but qualified will be assigned to the mining, ship administration, machinery, money law and even normal schools run by Tianjin and Huangzhuang. There are even schools where Dongchang and Jinyiwei specialize in training factory and safety. Those who fail to meet will stay in the social school and lower their studies until they are qualified. However, if you are residing three times, you can directly assign households and make them serve the people. Without that luck, it is useless to force education. You should prepare first and arrange for people to escort these students to the capital for reference in the capital."
"Abide by the order!"
Wang Chengen and Han Zanzhou replied.
As early as a few years ago, Zhu Youjiao implemented a new type of civilian education in various imperial villages and the newly established Tianjin and Qufu to cultivate new scholars.
The education these people received was different from traditional Confucian education. They received Confucianism in mathematics and Han culture, as well as other knowledge besides Confucianism, as well as historiography and martial arts training.
Therefore, these people will naturally be more suitable for managing this empire in the future than the scholars educated by Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism now.
This is a bureau that Zhu Youxiao has been laying out. He needs a group of new scholars to consolidate his reform achievements and even allow the Ming Dynasty to continue to make progress.
...
Shortly after Zhu Youxiao’s decree, a group of students from Tianjin who received new education took a boat to Beijing for reference under the leadership of Nei Guan.
"Ai Ming, you have to take the exam well and you can't let the emperor down!"
Tang Youshan waved to the young man Tang Yunfan who had already boarded the ship and loudly instructed him.
"Don't worry, dad! Take care of yourself!"
Tang Aiming held tears, pursed her lips tightly, and replied loudly.
Tang Youshan turned around and returned to Tianjin City and began to wipe the corners of his eyes with his sleeves. This was the first time he and his son parted, so he was naturally reluctant to part with him.
But at this moment, Tang Youshan saw the place where he and his son were in the past.
There is a familiar jujube tree there.
And he still remembers the scene of him and his son cutting the bark of the jujube tree on the jujube tree, and therefore he couldn't help laughing: "At that time, his mother was still there!"
Tang Youshan simply chose not to go back to Tianjin City, but came to the jujube tree, touched the trunk, and said, "The bark is so thick that no one will cut it to eat! It seems that no one has hungry for everyone, so they don't have to eat the bark. The gentlemen are right. Once they meet the good emperor, they don't have to live a hard life!"
As he said that, Tang Youshan simply lay down under the shade of the trees and rested.
Not long after, he fell asleep.
In the dream, he seemed to have escaped from the Baiqi Cliff guarding Qianhu. He was hungry and starving, but there was nothing around to fill his stomach. Even the trees were bare, and the soil was also saline-alkali soil, and the dry cracks and stiffness.
But just when he was desperate, he found a jujube tree with dense leaves and thick bark appeared in front of him.
In the dream, Tang Youshan felt as if he had discovered a sumptuous meal. He was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it. He hurriedly shouted to his wife: "Damn, there is something to eat here, hurry up and bring the children here!"
His wife laughed because of this and hurriedly brought the children to run away.
In the dream, Tang Youshan shouted and began to climb up the tree to pick leaves. He picked it very quickly, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him.
