Chapter 1600 Under the reform of the Political Affairs Hall

Cai Yong is not young, but he still has a lot of energy, and he is refreshed on happy occasions, and it is of great significance to him to be stationed in the Zhengshitang.

He has learned a lot in his life, but it is difficult to achieve great success.

In the past, he was full of enthusiasm, but his trust was inhumane. Although Emperor Ling had great ambitions and wanted to help the Han Dynasty, he had no resilience. He was defeated and decadent.

What he has learned all his life can only become Confucianism among the people. It seems to be at ease, but it is sorrowful and indignant.

Now the supreme government office of the central government that dominates the Ming Dynasty should be the head of the dynasty. To say it is a little bit proud, but it is more of a sense of urgency.

Learn literary and martial arts well and sell them to the emperor's family. If you don't display what you have learned all your life, you will never be satisfied. Now that you have to display it is a stage, you should do your best and use your strengths to the fullest.

The reform of the Zhengshitang was a proposal he got from Liu Jin, but it was also in his favor. On the one hand, he could seize power in this way.

In the second aspect, he also hopes that Daming can follow the route he set.

When it comes to people with knowledge and status like Hu Zhao and Cai Yong, what they care more about is not power, but their own management plan. They are all confident people, and they all think that they are right.

So you must stick to the right thing, unless one day, the whole world proves that you are wrong, otherwise you will not turn back.

As long as Cai Yong still sits in this position for a day, he is the highest person in power of the Zhengshitang, and he has the power to let the Zhengshitang form a governing body according to his mind.

So for this reform, he was very attentive, and he was not ashamed to ask his subordinates many times, regardless of his status, to ask the opinions of the ministers.

Similarly, he also put aside the embarrassing relationship with Mujing. In his opinion, when it comes to the reform of the New Deal, Mujing is the real master, although many of Mujing's intentions are novel and special. The times were out of place, but in the end it all turned out that his idea was better.

Therefore, the entire reform plan has gone through many revisions, and now it can be regarded as gradually forming a prototype, but he can't wait to start the reform of the Zhengshitang.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have already started a large-scale reform of the government affairs hall. In order to strengthen the relationship between various ministries and offices, and to more efficiently form an official office that can handle the world's people's livelihood, I have decided to follow the example of Zhaoming Pavilion. , Under the Zhengshitang, Li Shenzhizhengshi, discuss the affairs of the Zhengshitang!"

Cai Yong cupped his hands and reported.

"Participate in political affairs?"

Mu Jing smiled, the ministers participating in politics in Zhaoming Pavilion had just become a little more stable, and the Political Affairs Hall here wanted to take prints of gourds, which was really fast enough.

But that's a good thing.

The system style of Zhaoming Pavilion is already the best system in the feudal era. Of course, a good system needs to be maintained, and people are ultimately in power.

Talent is fundamental.

If future generations do not live up to expectations, Daming will still perish.

There is no eternal dynasty.

This point, Mujing is very clear in his heart, no matter how well he does, one day, the times will improve, no matter whether it is the system or ideas, they will be eliminated with the progress of the times.

It's just a matter of time.

But in this world, people fight for one breath. As the saying goes, geese leave their voices and people leave their names. achieved.

What Mu Jing has to do now is to turn the chaotic world in front of him into peace, at least in his lifetime, there will be no more wars, no more wars.

As for after he died, that would be a matter of the future, and he couldn't control it.

"The Minister of Political Affairs of Zhaoming Pavilion has some prestige, and the meaning of participating in political affairs is confusing. You don't care, but the Privy Council, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, can you let you go, the Minister of Political Affairs of the Political Affairs Hall, think otherwise Give it a title!"

Mu Jing waved his hand and said softly.

In the current political situation of Ming Dynasty, the emperor is supreme, no matter whether it is political power or military power, it is now the chaos that Mu Jing said. He stands proudly on the ninth floor, overlooking the world of Daming.

Then there is a Zhaoming Pavilion standing on the eight-story building, and then there are the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The three houses stand side by side.

And the ministers participating in politics in Zhaoming Pavilion are basically from the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Your family wants to beat the proportion of the other two families. Doesn’t this mean that you are provoking hatred?

"It's because I didn't think carefully, I'll think about it when I go back!"

Cai Yong smiled awkwardly.

Sima Hui and Qin Song stood beside them, the corners of their mouths twitching slightly.

They are all old foxes.

This is not thoughtful, it is obvious that they want to test Mujing's mind, and also increase the influence of Zhengshitang.

It has to be said that Cai Yong's move is very good, and this matter cannot be hidden. Although it is only a small matter, it will not change much of the situation.

But relatively speaking, it can make the entire Zhengshitang have a sense of belonging to Cai Yong. A person who can fight for the interests of the Zhengshitang is one of his own.

Before this, Cai Yong was still an outsider, and he was not very recognized by the ministers in the Zhengshitang.

Sima Hui felt the deepest.

To be honest, if it is said that Cai Yong still entered the court, but was kicked out, he would retain some experience in the court, then he is really a political novice.

Although many things are one way, experience is also very important. The so-called experience is experienced in some trivial things, but the results of small things can often affect whether some big policies can be implemented.

Fighting in the court, no matter in the prosperous and troubled times, is inevitable. No one will give you three points just because of your prestige.

If you are among the people and do not touch their interests, they will naturally obediently enshrine you as a great saint, respect your knowledge, and respect your character.

But since he entered the officialdom, the rule of the officialdom is that the interests come first.

Politics is always the darkest.

This point, no one can change, even if there is a real saint, there is no way to change it, human nature is like this, if you persist, but more often follow the trend.

So Sima Hui felt that he needed to learn too much. Hu Zhao, Cai Yong, Liu Jin, Kuai Liang, Qin Song, Bao Su, these people were all role models for him to learn from.

If he can't master these official skills as soon as possible, it will not be easy for him to gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty.

"Cai Xiang, I support your reform of the Political Affairs Hall. Whether you take power or want to do something, it's all a matter of course!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said instructingly: "But as the head of the political affairs hall, you have to shoulder the responsibility. The political affairs hall needs to stabilize the people's livelihood, which is the most important thing, and the responsibility of the people's livelihood in various places is more It falls on the yamen of the governor's mansion of each state. The candidates for the governor of each state are all selected by your political affairs hall. If your political affairs hall does not establish a good governance idea, it will lead to chaos in people's livelihood, so don't just stare at the central government. The local area is also included, and the influence on the governors of the states is strengthened. Ming Dynasty is not a country in China, and no governor is allowed to become a local overlord. If the Zhengshitang cannot do this, then Zhaoming Pavilion will directly intervene in the Zhengshitang Govern!"

He still has great hopes for the Zhengshitang. If the Zhengshitang is better, then he can do less work.

People's livelihood is not a trivial matter. Only by starting with land, population, agriculture, medical care, education, culture, and business, can the development of people's livelihood be improved.

Now that there is a war, the Privy Council will pay more attention to the Zhengshitang, but even so, most of the positions of ministers participating in politics in Zhaoming Pavilion come from the Zhengshitang.

The Zhengshitang is the core government office of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the central nerve line of the Ming Dynasty.

This is a place where no mistakes are allowed.

Therefore, Cai Yong wanted to reform the system of the Zhengshitang, even involving the localities, which was a very difficult thing, but Mujing just wanted to put pressure on him.

This is called killing with a borrowed knife.

The New Deal, the so-called reform of local systems, imperial examinations, and household registration statistics are just the beginning, and there will be many more systems in the future, which will overturn this era.

If Mu Jing went to battle in person, he would inevitably be bloodied.

If he borrowed the knife from the Zhengshitang, then a lot of pressure would be borne by the Zhengshitang. At that time, Cai Yong, Qin Song, Bao Su, including Liu Jin, who was at home, would not be able to escape from the Zhengshitang.

If they are covered by the New Deal.

Then under the Ming Dynasty, there was no one or any power that could stop Mu Jing's New Deal from covering the whole world.

"The minister leads the order!"

Cai Yong bowed his hand and took the command.

Didn't he know in his heart that Mu Jing could be used as a knife this time?
he knows.

But what do you know, the so-called politics is compromise, no matter what his position is, it is a critical time for him to take charge of the Political Affairs Hall, and he used the method of imitating Mu Jing's New Deal to govern, so it is inevitable that he will be used as a knife by Mu Jing to make.

Now that he has done it, he has to bear the consequences, which cannot be avoided, so he doesn't care much, even if it is regarded as a knife, it is the most valuable knife.

"Recently, in the name of Zhengshitang, I will directly announce that some governors will return to Yudu to report their duties, and will also dispatch some local governors. In addition..."

Cai Yong said in a low voice: "I have discussed with the Zuodu Censor Kuai Xiang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Political Affairs Hall will try my best to invite all the sub-yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to enter the states, and use the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to eliminate our Ming officials. The scourge of ambiguity, I believe that if you want to govern a country, you must first govern people, and if the government is clear, the world will be peaceful!"

"Good courage!"

When Mu Jing heard this, a rainbow light burst out from his eyes, and he took a deep look at Cai Yong.

He felt as if he had underestimated the old man again.

Who said that Cai Yong was just seizing power.

This is not just seizing power, his goal is to become the master of Qingtian. If this trick is used, he will lose the support of many political affairs halls in an instant.

But he still did it without hesitation.

People, if they have dreams and aspirations, they will be selfless. This sentence is true. Even at this age, Cai Yong still has his dreams, ambitions, and blood.

"Qin Xiang, what do you think?" Mu Jing calmed down, and stared at Qin Song who was in charge of the official department. Qin Song is an old minister. He has been a member of the Mu party since the time when the Han court was still there. Over the years, he has worked hard to establish a system of officials for Daming. He is very popular among the officials, and he is modest and prudent, with a good reputation. Although there are countless people recommended by him, there are very few people who appear. Forming cliques for personal gain, and even disciplining his family, he is a hundred times better than Liu Jin. It is also such carefulness that allows him to control the power of the bureaucracy all the time.

But now that Cai Yong is mobilizing the Ministry of Officials, doesn't that mean his territory has been mobilized?

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, that is a knife on the heads of all officials in the Ming Dynasty. When this knife falls, it is impossible to say who will be cut.

Let the Metropolitan Procuratorate legitimately form an influence in the local area, which is bad news for the entire bureaucracy.

"Sir, I don't have any comments!"

Qin Song's face was as calm as water, without any waves, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"There are no outsiders here. If there are any complaints, it can be said that the new Ming Dynasty has a new policy, and no matter who proposes the policy, there is room for discussion. If it is implemented, it may also be changed!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "I hope that the new policy can be implemented, and there can be a political system that allows the people to live in peace and contentment. The reform of the hall is also to improve the administrative efficiency of the Zhengshi hall, but what Cai Xiang thinks is not what the world wants. We are all crossing the river by feeling the stones. If we do something wrong, we have to speak out. This point You might as well say it bluntly, neither Cai Xiang, nor Hu Xiang, nor I have ever been convicted of a crime by speech!"

Mujing's words made Qin Song silent for a while, but he quickly became as calm as ever. He opened his mouth softly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what I said is not false. Regarding this matter, it is actually the responsibility of the procuratorate." Prime Minister Kuai got in touch with me. I think this is a good thing. I used to be in charge of the Ministry of Officials. Since the establishment of Li Cao in Nanshufang, the governance of officials is the most difficult thing. Everyone has selfishness. For example, Liu Xiang , Liu Xiang acted boldly and decisively, took the overall situation into consideration, and was cautious in everything, but he still made a mistake in disciplining his heirs. I thought about this matter for a long time. Why? In the end, I thought that as an official of Ming Dynasty, he was A representative of power, but not everyone can be self-disciplined. Therefore, I believe that the emergence of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has made up for the biggest defect of the Ming officials. !"

Hearing this, Mu Jing smiled, Qin Song is Qin Song, this man is interesting, he is cautious in doing things, and his words are secretive, but he can express his meaning very clearly.

On the one hand, he did not object to the matter of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

On the other hand, he was a little crying for Liu Jin.

Mu Jing didn't care, he thought for a while, and said: "In that case, then I will order you to assist Cai Xiang, Wancheng's reform of the Zhengshitang, whether it is the center or the local area, I want to see it as soon as possible , the people's livelihood of Ming Dynasty will undergo a brand-new change because of the reform of the Zhengshitang!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Cai Yong was satisfied, and Qin Song was a little surprised, but he also reacted quickly. This is an opportunity. Cai Yong is old, even if he can still hold power for a few years. Then, the next person in power of the Zhengshitang will be himself.
