The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Juzheng is about this day.This is the day to be able to unleash revenge on your own mind.It's been a long time waiting.before.He's always wanted to do that.But various reasons all restricted the actions he wanted to perform.now.He finally stood at the top of the official.Even the eunuch Feng Bao, who is slightly more powerful than him.Also on his side.And people who agree with his ideas.Zhang Juzheng understood.My chance has come.

For the coming of this day.Zhang Juzheng had expected it.So before that day comes.He started preparing early.certainly.Although this kind of reform thing.Judging from the past dynasties.The first one dies.Although many people also understand.Such reform measures are beneficial.But that is only a small number of people after all.Most people are "victims" of reform.It is impossible for them to approve of such a measure.

therefore.When Zhang Juzheng was planning.But it also means a little weak.Not many allies can stand with him.Feng Bao.He was just supporting Zhang Juzheng.It will not help Zhang Juzheng to make suggestions together.Speaking up.The reason why Feng Bao agreed with Zhang Juzheng's point of view.Apart from Feng Bao's unique insights on government affairs.But there are also some interests.After all, what Zhang Juzheng wanted to do.It has nothing to do with Feng Bao.even.If he wants to get some benefits, oil and water from it.It is not impossible.That's why Feng Bao stood with Zhang Juzheng on this matter.

but.For Zhang Juzheng.This matter is of great importance.There are just too many things involved.Although Zhang Juzheng started planning very early.But after all, he was alone.Power is limited.Many places may not be able to consider comprehensively.He still needs someone to complete it with him.

And now.There was also someone standing with Zhang Juzheng.to study this matter together.Zhang Fan.Nature is the best choice.

Speaking up.This is also a bit funny.want to come.Some time ago.Because of many things in the court.Especially things related to Ge Shouli.Between Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng.It's also a bit inconsistent.Especially the incident with Ge Shouli because of his relationship.It intensified the conflict between the two to a fixed point.

certainly.After all, there is a special relationship between the two.Back then when Zhang Fan first entered the official career.It was placed under Zhang Juzheng's door.even though.It can be said that Zhang Fan's high position has been smooth sailing.After all, he came to the position only after he got Long Qing's favor.But Zhang Fan's starting point was too high.He walked into the power center of the Ming Dynasty without any experience.If there is no one to help.Disgraced are small.Ruin is the most likely destination for him.

It is also thanks to Zhang Juzheng's guidance to Zhang Fan.This is what allowed Zhang Fan to integrate into it so quickly.In some ways.Zhang Juzheng has indeed fulfilled his responsibility as a teacher to Zhang Fan.It's just what he taught Zhang Fan.It's just the world's sophistication and the interests of the DPRK and China.But in comparison.Which is more important.What is most useful to you.Zhang Fan knew it in his heart.In some ways.He was very grateful to Zhang Juzheng.

And now.Zhang Juzheng is going to do a big thing.And he was alone.But it seemed weak again.How could Zhang Fan ignore it?Even if there were some conflicts between the two before.But it hasn't turned into bitterness and hatred.In front of this matter.All can be ignored.

So since this time.Zhang Fan also often gets together with Zhang Juzheng.Research something.

This situation.It also made Zhang Fan sigh in his heart.in many places.Especially when it comes to things like politics.Everything is full of uncertainty.friends today.It is also very easy to become tomorrow's enemy.

The so-called "no absolutes in the world" this sentence.It is too appropriate to use here.

These are just digressions.Let’s talk about the problems Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng faced when they came here.

Zhang Juzheng's thoughts.There are too many things involved.First point.That is to reform the administration of officials.That's the point.Otherwise, the government order will be unclear and the court order will not work.Nothing else works.If you want reform.It was completely empty.

so.Reforming the administration of officials was also put in the first place by the two.

This reforms the government.There are many things involved.One of them is very important.That is the assessment of official performance.This is not an advanced system.There are all dynasties.It's just that the content is a little different.If not.Officials also have no self-motivation and sense of crisis.It is an indifferent attitude to start work.In this way.How can the country last forever.

so.Early Ming Dynasty.There is already a series.The evaluation system formulated for officials' performance.According to the system of the Ming Dynasty.A Beijing official in Beijing.A "Beijing inspection" is conducted every six years.The censorship of local officials at all levels is stricter than that of Beijing officials.After all, the emperor is far away.every three years.Officials at all levels in each locality have to conduct a review called "big plan".

It would have been a very good system.After all, that's all.Only then can the officials have a sense of urgency.And dare not act recklessly.will be under review in the future.If the performance is outstanding.Then the day of prosperity is not far away.

But this is in the Ming Dynasty.No.It should be said that it was in any dynasty.It's not such a simple thing.Especially the Great Ming Dynasty.

It's not that he has any prejudice against Daming.It really is tomorrow.There are as many corrupt officials as there are stars.Each is "shine" incomparable.Not to mention those "celebrities" who can be named in the annals of history.Those officials below.Not serious enough to be named.Their danger is the greatest.Also these people.Only then will corrupt officials and eunuchs like Liu Jin and Yan Song be born.

and.The so-called "there are policies above, and countermeasures below".This sentence is especially in the Ming Dynasty.It is played to the fullest.

The assessment system promulgated by the imperial court.For these people, it is completely irrelevant.even.these officials.All are scholars.Officials with ideas in their heads.It can even do the opposite.Put this constraint on them.Transform it into a means that can promote one's promotion and fortune.

The system of these courts.It has long been formalized.Not falling every time.Also nothing new every time.Many officials understand this.Officials protect each other.There are even many people who are used to domineering in the local area.Especially at this time of year.Let the people of this city put on a thriving look in front of the supervisors.Make it feel like he's in charge.The people live and work in peace and contentment.The state of the world is gradually prospering.

And those who came to check.But it's not a good thing either.Even occasionally there are a few who are dedicated to the country and the people.But at the same time, he was encountered various temptations on the way.Also accept threats from above.

If not obedient.Let alone the road to promotion and fortune in the future.Even his own name may not be able to keep it.But if you let it go.It's not just that you can get promoted and get rich in the future.You can also make a fortune locally.Then why not do it.

So.Every year around the officials.Most of them will prepare tempting things such as gold and silver property, eyebrow hue and so on.Everyone has needs.But here.Whether you like gold bullion or silver bills.Still greedy and lustful.You will always find something that shares your interests anyway.

Then well.Then naturally each takes what he needs.Those sent down from above got what they wanted.And the people below will also have a sense of conscientiousness, diligence, and fame for the country.Moreover, documents with various detailed matters were placed in front of the officials, the cabinet, and even the emperor.I want to get promoted and make a fortune in the future.That's not a problem at all.

In short.The entire Ming Dynasty.The appearance of officials protecting each other and corruption becoming common has already been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.This has been formed since the day when the Ming Dynasty was first established.

otherwise.Think of the Taizu emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who hated corrupt officials.His order is.Everything official.Embezzlement of more than ten taels of silver.It is the death penalty.In the end, even skinning and other inhumane punishments that make people feel goosebumps all over the floor poured out.But these officials should be greedy.What should be taken is still taken.The one who should cheat is still cheating.Not just no reduction.Instead, they killed more and more.

yes.Generation after generation of officials took office.Maybe it's in the way of the world.It has long been irrelevant.But driven by interests.Not broken at all.From one line to the next.

I want to cut off this relationship at once.It's not easy to be honest.Or it is simply impossible.But even in the face of such pressure.Zhang Juzheng still wanted to meet him.how to say.It is his courage that should be admired.Or it should be said that he was a little overwhelmed.

But it doesn't matter now.Since Zhang Juzheng had already made this plan.Then he would be able to do it with one heart.From this aspect.Zhang Fan also admired Zhang Juzheng quite a lot.That's why he came to help Zhang Juzheng now.

Want to reform the bureaucracy.We cannot simply impeach and liquidate someone.That simply doesn't work.Only by fundamentally changing the system.

And Zhang Juzheng's focus at this stage.It is the evaluation system for officials.But the system is such a thing.They're all very traditional.It is very difficult to change easily.Opposition is inevitable.

But Zhang Juzheng was not too worried about this.Now they have the support of Empress Dowager Li behind them.And now the Empress Dowager Li.For Zhang Juzheng, he seemed to be obedient to what he said.
