Daming reckless man

Chapter 637 The relationship between emperors and vassal kings
Chapter 637

King Yu wanted to go out for a walk, but Zhang Hao was so depressed when he heard what he said, how could this be the case?Isn't this cheating yourself?
However, His Majesty has not agreed now, anyway, if he doesn't go, His Majesty probably has nothing to do.

The next day, Zhang Hao took King Yu, the imperial guards, Jin Yiwei, and escorted the prisoners to the capital. Along the way, the people watched and saw the prisoners sitting in the prison car. They smashed rotten eggs one after another, and some even smashed rocks. This is a bit too much.

Now they haven't tried yet, if they are killed by crushing, it won't work. After finally leaving the territory of Shandong, Zhang Hao and the others took King Yu back to Beijing first. As for King Lu and the others, they can only be escorted back to Beijing slowly.

That afternoon, Zhang Hao took King Yu back to the capital, and the two went straight to Yuxi Palace, but Jiajing knew the news in advance, and Zhang Hao and the others wrote a letter.

"Haven't you come back yet? It's almost dark!" Jiajing asked while sitting at the tea table in the alchemy room.

"Your Majesty, you know Zhang Hao. As soon as he returns to Beijing, he will definitely return to Danfang as soon as possible. It is estimated that he is still on his way!" Lu Fang came over and said to Jiajing.

"Well, let's wait, these two boys have done a good job in Shandong this time, and the kid Yu Wang has also learned a lot!" Jiajing said with a smile at the moment.

"No, you were still worried, Your Majesty, when you went there before, but now that they are back, you don't have to worry!" Lu Fang said to Jiajing with a smile.

"Well, don't worry, what are you worried about when you come back!" Jiajing still smiled.

Soon, a father-in-law came in and said to Jiajing, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Marquis Lu An have returned, and they have already entered Yuxi Palace!"

"Okay, okay, let them come in later!" Jiajing happily said to the father-in-law when he heard this.

"Yes!" The father-in-law went out, and soon Zhang Hao and the others arrived at Danfang.

"My son has seen his father!"

"I have seen the emperor!" After the two came in, they immediately bowed their hands together.

"Well, come and sit down and talk, sit down and talk, it's all good!" Jiajing looked at the two of them very satisfied and said.

"Thank you father (the emperor)" Zhang Hao and the others smiled and stood up.

"Come on, sit down here and talk, this journey has been hard, right?" Jiajing looked at the two of them and said, among them, he looked at King Yu with a doting look.

"It's okay, I'm not tired. I was tired at the beginning, and then I practiced martial arts with Brother Manzi. I'm not tired now. Father, my son has a little bit of martial arts now!" King Yu said to Jiajing with a smile.

"Oh, you still practice martial arts?" Jiajing immediately asked King Yu in surprise.

He was unwilling to learn before, but unexpectedly, he went out with Zhang Hao and practiced martial arts.

"Well, the main reason is that I couldn't fall asleep when I saw Brother Manzi practicing martial arts so early, so I practiced along with it. Later, I found out that practicing martial arts is really good and keeps me healthy!" King Yu said to Jiajing.

"Okay, then you need to persevere, and you can't be lazy in the future!" Jiajing said while looking at King Yu with a smile.

"Father, well, it's okay to be lazy once in a while!" King Yu said, looking at Jiajing with a smile.

"Well, barbarian, this time it was done well, really well! Although I know that Shen Lian controlled it in advance over there, it was also arranged by you, and I also know that you want to raise Shen Lian, but It should be your credit, or yours, Shen Lian's position as the commander of the affairs, what do you report, I will approve it.

Let him fight with Liu Yunhai, the provincial Liu Yunhai is a bit arrogant now, you are not in the capital from time to time, Liu Yunhai feels that Jinyiwei belongs to him! " Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I also mean the same thing. I originally thought that he is someone close to His Majesty, and he should act more prudently. Unexpectedly, he changed in the end. The main reason is that the temptation outside is too great. Many people stare at him. I guess it is the same. It's impossible to guard against!" Zhang Hao said while sitting there looking at Jiajing with a wry smile.

"Then why were you able to guard against it?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and continued to ask.

"Then they can compare with me. Who has the money I have? I still need this small amount of money. They give me 100 million taels, and I don't take a look at it. I look down on anyone. The key is that they have so much money to give away." Give it to me?" Zhang Hao immediately said contemptuously.

"You boy, it's really like this. Well, last time you wrote a letter about how to deal with those ministers, I was thinking about it. As you said, I really don't have any ministers to use here. By the way, next year Chunwei, I am going to add a list of favors, that is, in addition to Jinshi, I plan to admit 200 more people, as a backup, to give Jinshi background, what do you think?" Jiajing sat there, looking at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Your Majesty, how do I understand this?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing incomprehensibly and said.

"You, you, you boy!" Jiajing pointed at Zhang Hao and was speechless when he heard Zhang Hao say that.

"I didn't understand at first, Your Majesty, this is a matter of the Imperial College and the Ministry of Officials. I know this so well. However, there are indeed not enough officials. The main reason is that we have killed a lot in the past few years, but those are Corrupt officials, in addition, the promotion of the Ministry of Officials is unreasonable, completely unreasonable!" Zhang Hao said while sitting there.

"Why is it unreasonable?" Jiajing asked Zhang Hao immediately after hearing this.

"First of all, in many places now there are officials who have passed the assessment for three consecutive terms, but they just don't get promoted, and those who are related will give gifts, even if they are in the middle, they are given priority for promotion.

Your Majesty, you should give the officials a rule, that is, officials above the middle and upper levels for two consecutive terms must be promoted, and the grade must be promoted, and those who have lower-level assessments must be followed by an upper-middle-level official. You can only be promoted if you have to pass the assessment, otherwise you cannot be promoted! " Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"There are such regulations in the Ministry of Officials, don't you know?" Jiajing asked Zhang Hao when he heard what Zhang Hao said.

"I don't know, then why did such a thing happen?" Zhang Hao said, looking at Jiajing in surprise.

"You bastard!" Jiajing scolded angrily at this moment. What Zhang Hao said just now means that the officials themselves are messing around, so the officials below are not messing around?

"Father, there is really such a situation. This time we were in Shandong and found several good officials. The officials were all good and loved by the people, but they were not promoted. One of the officials has been in office for four years. The next county magistrate changed four places.

This time, after our on-the-spot investigation, we also sent someone to inspect the place where he was an official before, and found that it was indeed good. This time, he has been promoted to the magistrate, father, and we have found several such examples in Shandong. If we didn't go to King Charu this time, we would never have found out that some outstanding officials were just buried like this! "Yu Wang also said to Jiajing immediately.

"It seems that the official department still needs rectification. King Yu, how about you go to rectify this time?" Jiajing thought for a while, looked at King Yu and said.

"Yes, let me go!" King Yu said happily when he heard this. This is the first time he has actually done business for the court.

"Find out those who practice favoritism and commit fraud, and you can't easily spare them. Official administration is the most important department in the court. You have to investigate it with your heart!" Jiajing looked at King Yu and said.

"Yes, I will definitely investigate thoroughly!" King Yu said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Well, in the spring of next year, Manzi, you have to investigate the behavior of those Jinshi, and those who were given a Jinshi background. If they are not good, they will not be reused. Of course, Jinshi is still a Jinshi. They are admitted by virtue of their talents. I can’t say that I erased it for them, but I’m a bad person, greedy, cowardly, and determined not to reuse it, so it’s a disaster if people like this use it!” Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"Ah, this is not good, how can we know if they are good officials now?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing in embarrassment and said, mainly because he didn't want to work.

Jiajing glared at Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao continued: "At least let them serve as county magistrates for a year, so that we can know if they are qualified? For their first positions, we must investigate clearly. If there is corruption Wouldn’t it be better for such people to be eliminated directly? This is also for the court to select talents who need to be reused in advance, how good is it?” Zhang Hao sat there, looking at Jiajing and said.

"Well, it's fine, but I don't want them to forget about it once they gain power!" Jiajing sighed after hearing what Zhang Hao said.

"That can't be helped, it's human nature!" Zhang Hao immediately spread his hands and said, there is nothing he can do about such a thing.

"Come on, the two of you happen to be here, so let's talk about how to deal with King Lu and King Yu, please tell me first!" Jiajing is also starting to investigate King Yu at this moment, after all, the relationship between the emperor and the vassal is also very important In the future, how Daming treats those vassal kings is related to the fate of Daming, and Jiajing needs to test King Yu.

"Father, my son's idea is that the people are too tired to support so many people from the clan. This time King Lu committed a crime, so he can not be killed. It doesn't make much sense to kill or not, but he can be locked up. For other people children.

Conquering the nobles, now our way of dealing with the clan is to reduce the burden on them by the court as much as possible, and also reduce their power as much as possible, so that they will not be domineering in the local area. In this way, they will be like ordinary children There is no difference. According to the current practice, it takes six generations for those feudal kings to return to the common people. This time is a bit long!
For six generations, they were able to accumulate a lot of wealth. What I mean is, can it be shortened? For example, the vassal king can be hereditary, but the others can be replaced quickly. In this case, it may be better! "Wang Yu sat there and suggested to Jiajing.
