Eighth year of Chongzhen
Chapter 344 Wen Tiren
Chapter 344 Wen Tiren
"Qing is old! You still need to cherish it!"
Zhu Youjian looked at the old minister in front of him and sighed.
With the last ray of light before sunset, several obvious age spots on Wen Tiren's face were exposed to Zhu Youjian's sight.Looking at this 65-year-old veteran who should have been dismissed by Emperor Chongzhen in June this year and then died in depression next year, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel emotional.
If Wen Tiren likes to seize power, who is willing to delegate power?And the sharp and biting evaluation is actually more like the resentment words of the loser towards him. On the other hand, if the other party removes Wen Tiren from the stage, then who will this evaluation be on?
"Although the old minister is old, he has strong bones and tendons, and he can still relieve my emperor's worries!"
Wen Tiren replied with a rather vigilant salute.
"It's the first time for me to come to the cabinet office. I didn't expect that the place where I, the prime minister and assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty, handles official duties is so cramped and cramped! This really surprises me!"
Zhu Youjian felt dumbfounded at Lao Wen's quick reaction.
An unintentional exclamation by myself was interpreted by Wen Tiren as a sign that he disliked his old age. No wonder everyone said that Old Wen was good at figuring out the holy will, but this is too sensitive, right?
In desperation, Zhu Youjian had no choice but to look around and change the topic.
Regardless of whether it was the previous life or the present life, it was the first time for Zhu Youjian to come to the office of the cabinet. Although he knew from the information that the office of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was not big, what he did not expect was that it was not big, it was simply It's unbelievably small.
In his impression, as the seat of the highest administrative body of Ming Dynasty, the office must be spacious and bright, right?
But the scene in front of him was far beyond his imagination. This place, which was envied by civil servants and scholars all over the world, was not even as good as a state or county government office.
In his previous life, he had been to the ancient city of Pingyao, Shanxi. There was a relatively well-preserved county government in the city, covering an area of more than [-] square meters, and the area occupied by the cabinet office in front of him was probably less than one of them.
"The Holy Majesty's words are wrong. The old minister thinks that the size of the public house is not the most important thing, but the public heart is the most important! The old minister is valued by my emperor. I have been here for eight years, and I don't feel any discomfort!"
Wen Tiren replied with a straight face and saluted, his tone was obviously still expressing his dissatisfaction with the emperor's casual travel.
Zhu Youjian touched his nose in embarrassment and didn't answer.
Although Lao Wen is good at flattering, but the words just now revealed the meaning of blame.
He knows that people from top to bottom in this era have some ideas that are difficult to change, and the emperor's casual travel is a form that most people cannot accept.
Before Yang Sichang and others arrived, he simply picked up a few brightly lit rooms with his hands behind his back and walked around. The scribes and office staff who were copying the official documents in the room all knelt down to welcome the emperor's arrival in fear. No one dared to look up at the emperor.
For low-level officials like them, although Miyagi is close at hand, with their identities, it is impossible to see Tianyan in their lifetime, which is also a regret in the hearts of almost everyone.
But when the emperor suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, they were not in the mood to cheer because of their nervousness and fear.
"Wen Qing, the reason why I came here at this time is because there is a military report from outside the pass, and it is inconvenient to discuss matters in the palace, so I came here; later on, the hall officials of the Ministry of War and Chen Qing of Shuntian Mansion will come to discuss matters, and you will naturally attend the meeting to discuss the details , let’s go to the office for a while now!”
Zhu Youjian, who returned to the courtyard, explained the reason why he came to the cabinet suddenly. Wen Tiren was noncommittal about this, and silently led the way at a slightly forward position on one side.
Although the sky was already dark at this time, lanterns were already lit at the door of each room in the courtyard, so there was no need for someone to hold a candle to light the front.
"Did the officials on duty at night have extra subsidies and allowances? How many days did they take turns? Can they take care of their daily food?"
Under Wen Tiren's guidance, Zhu Youjian walked to the office room where the elders of the pavilion were discussing their daily affairs, and asked questions as they walked.
"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, there is no subsidy. At present, there are three cabinet ministers, one round every three days, and more officials and secretaries, one round every seven days. Since the emperor's new policy last year, the income of all the relevant personnel in the capital's office has been greatly increased. As a result of the growth, many outdated rules and bad habits in the yamen have been improved a lot, and the clerks in the office are even more motivated, and they are willing to do it without subsidy. As for the food and use, I have not heard any complaints from anyone in this section! "
While talking, several people came to the office room with a lantern hanging above the gate. Wen Tiren stopped and gave way, and Zhu Youjian stepped into the office room first.
After he sat down on the seat where Wen Tiren usually sat, Wen Tiren saluted and sat at the head of the underdog. Wang Chengen stood behind the emperor, and Luo Yangxing, who went to the Sun's residence together, did not follow.
"The cabinet is in charge of the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty, the drafting of the draft, the drafting of the imperial edict, the possibility of replacement, and the recommendation of talents are the most important things in the outer court. These key parts must be strictly examined by the people in the department, and the secrets must be strictly kept. Nothing about the imperial court should be disclosed to outsiders! Wang Qing and others must strictly demand that all the officials in the department be strict to prevent disharmony from arising!"
Zhu Youjian knew that the secrecy system of the Ming court was not perfect, no matter whether it was an important court official or an official, they didn't pay much attention to the secrecy. Many major events and small affairs of the court were often known to everyone overnight, but The person who revealed the news didn't take it seriously, but was very proud of being able to know and reveal the news.
Since the situation stabilized last year, Zhu Youjian specially convened the courtiers to attend the meeting, emphasizing the importance of secrecy, and listed the major losses caused to the country by leaking secrets in the past dynasties, and asked the courtiers to abide by the relevant regulations of the early days of the country. It is strictly forbidden to divulge the secrets and important matters of the court and make them known to outsiders.
Zhu Youjian knew that some people would still go their own way and didn't take it to heart just because of verbal requests. For this reason, he specially formulated confidentiality measures, and arranged Jinyiwei to patrol on duty at important positions in various temples, avoiding to the greatest extent Occurrence of leaks.
As the head of a country, Zhu Youjian knew that everything should not always be too gentle, and sometimes he had to show his attitude on certain things.Although he also knew that Wen Tiren had always carried out his requirements meticulously, but he still had to beat what should be beaten, so as to show the authority of the emperor.
"Qi Zou Shengshang, since the relevant decree of the last year's sage, the ministers have followed the holy will and strictly supervised the cabinet. Up to now, the cabinet has not leaked anything. Members, all strictly abide by the relevant regulations, please rest assured on this point!"
While talking, a [-]-year-old Zhongshushe came to the door with two cups of hot tea on a wooden tray, and a young eunuch took it and sent it to the short table next to Zhu Youjian and Wen Tiren. superior.
"Wen Qing has always done things safely, and I am very satisfied! By the way, if I remember correctly, the Qing family has three sons, right? Is there anyone who became an official in the mid-term examination?"
Zhu Youjian asked after taking a sip of hot tea.
"Returning to the Holy Father, I have three sons and two daughters under my knees. What I am ashamed of is that these three sons are not good at school, and none of them have passed the entrance examination; the eldest son is studying at home with the title of a thousand households bestowed by the emperor, and the second son Kan is the one who just sent tea. A man, he joined the cabinet as a scholar in the cabinet, and the third son, Ji, is now serving in the Taipu Temple as a low-ranking official! The two daughters are already married as wives, and they rarely return home!"
Wen Tiren's answer made Zhu Youjian couldn't help but sigh.
Although the official history of later generations did not have a high evaluation of Wen Tiren, but judging from the arrangement of his children now, as the No. Enough to make people feel admirable.
"Wen Qing is really a minister of incorruptibility! You have been in a high position for many years, and there is no one to inherit the mantle under your knees. This really makes me sigh! I just thought about it occasionally, and I should hear about it with you when I have time. Maybe it's okay. The envoy has expectations for future generations!"
Thanks to the book friends, no one has used this account for the reward.
