The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Now, the imperial court has officially begun to apply the "Testing Method" proposed by Zhang Juzheng. On the surface, Zhang Siwei made great contributions to this matter. After all, he was in the court at that time and faced so many people's opposition However, Zhang Siwei was the only one who stood up and refuted them, and he won in the end. So, on the surface, if Zhang Siwei remembers his merits, there is no problem at all.

Of course, there are many problems in this. There are many reasons why Zhang Siwei wants to stand up and refute those people instead of changing others, including that he is the most suitable candidate, and others because of their status or various other reasons, It is not convenient to stand up and speak, and Zhang Siwei was able to win because of the support and support of many people behind him.

The first one is Zhang Juzheng. Without Zhang Juzheng's permission, it is impossible for him to stand up and take care of these things. Of course, this one is not very important. After all, Zhang Juzheng at this time is just hoping that more and more people can help him Woolen cloth.

Besides, Zhang Fan and Feng Bao supported him behind him. Speaking of which, the relationship between Zhang Fan and Zhang Siwei, in less than two months, can be said to have heated up rapidly. That incident brought the two of them into contact very quickly, and the relationship was absolutely extraordinary. However, in this incident, Zhang Fan did not help Zhang Siwei much. Said to be passive, Zhang Fan will stand up and speak up after a problem occurs.

And Feng Bao's actions in this matter are quite extraordinary. The relationship between him and Zhang Siwei has also undergone a great change. From the mutual hostility between the two, it has even developed to the point where Feng Bao Bao wanted to put Zhang Siwei to death, and then temporarily stopped the hostility between the two, and finally turned the enemy into a friend between the two. Of course, whether the two really turned the enemy into a friend? , or the relationship between the two has not become better, and the current intimacy is only temporary, because the interests make it a temporary reason, it is hard to say.

However, there is no need to discuss these too much for the time being. After all, no matter whether the two of them are sincere or false, the situation will not change. Feng Bao will still help Zhang Siwei, and Feng Bao's help But it is different from other people. Although Feng Bao is a eunuch and an internal eunuch, and the Ming Dynasty has always stipulated that the harem and internal eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, even this ancestral precept or regulations are not completely absolute. , it still depends on what the situation was at the time. Moreover, even if Feng Bao is interfering, he will not do things that will give people an excuse. He will always order others to do it. If something happened, he would definitely not blame it on him.

Take this matter as an example. Although Feng Bao supported Zhang Siwei, in fact, there was not even a direct dialogue between him and Zhang Siwei. He ordered others to do all the news about Siwei, but, again, don't underestimate his help. After all, behind Feng Bao, there is an extremely powerful source of information. If Feng Bao wants to inquire about something In terms of news, it couldn't be easier.

No, this time Zhang Siwei was able to fight against the Confucian scholars alone, and the reason why he won alone was because behind him was the powerful source of information provided by Feng Bao. Zhang Siwei just made good use of these information. Therefore, it is not so much Zhang Siwei's victory this time, but in fact, Feng Bao is the one who contributed the most.

Of course, these are things in the past. Speaking of them now, apart from making people feel a little embarrassed, they are useless. Now, people's top priority is how to cope with the current situation. The "Testing Law" has begun to be implemented.

Regarding the implementation of the "Kao Cheng Fa", the officials who are most unhappy about the implementation of the "Kao Cheng Fa" are probably the officials of the six subjects. Although after careful scrutiny, more than half of the officials from the six departments who came forward felt that the "Testing Law" hindered them personally, but in fact, the reason why so many Officials from the Sixth Division stood up to oppose it, which had a lot to do with the "Tao Cheng Fa" itself.

There is no need to repeat the content of the "Kaochengfa" now. The most important thing is the three account books used to record and when the officials' achievements and actions. There is also a copy. According to this statement, the Sixth Division should have no dissatisfaction. Moreover, according to the regulations, the Sixth Division also has the right. According to the registration in the account book, the Sixth Division is required to report for verification every six months. In such a situation, it can be said that the rights granted to the six subjects by the "Taocheng Law" are not small.

However, in Zhang Juzheng's memorial, there is a sentence at the end, that is, after the memorial is read out, it will cause such a big reaction from the officials of the six departments.

The last sentence is like this. After the inspection is completed, the cabinet will also check the inspection work of the six departments based on the cases registered in the account books. In fact, it means that the work of the six subjects should be reviewed, and in a deeper sense, that is, the review work of the six subjects should not be trusted.

In the past, if the officials of the Six Divisions and the Six Departments and its subordinates found something, they could report it in time, or even impeach them. Moreover, the officials of the Six Divisions were the officials. According to the regulations of Ming Dynasty, the officials who spoke, There will be no punishment.

In the past, the six subjects relied on this one to survive, and they survived quite well. If someone made a mistake, they would naturally stand up and speak out, and if someone made a small mistake, it was the kind that could If the mistake is forgiven, it depends on the mood of the people in the sixth department. If they think it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter, but there are other circumstances. In case, some of them will be involved For some more personal issues, it is very likely that even a small, innocuous mistake may cause big troubles for that person.

But now, if the "Kaochengfa" is applied a little bit, such a unique advantage that originally belonged to the six subjects will no longer exist. In the previous six subjects, if anyone wanted to be impeached, he would impeach him, but now, "impeachment" These two words are not so easy to say. If they are said, the cabinet will verify that there is no such thing. Although they will not do anything to them, a title of "presumption" can Even if it is confirmed, this will cause trouble in the future.

It can be said that the "Testing Method" has greatly damaged the right to act arbitrarily before the sixth subject, and made everything different.

And this is undoubtedly a very heavy blow to the Sixth Division, which does not have much real power.

The matter of the sixth subject is put aside first, but there are still other issues that need to be considered. The implementation of the "Testing Law" is undoubtedly a major reform for the Ming court. It's just that one more procedure has been added on the basis of not changing the original working method of the court, and no one can refute this statement, because this is the fact, but in fact, it is so much that one more procedure has been added, so that all Everything has changed.

Of course, this is a situation that everyone has foreseen, but it has not happened yet, but the current situation is that almost everyone thinks that things will be bad, but almost everyone does not buy it In the eyes of these people, the "Testing Law" has only just been implemented. Although it will indeed greatly reduce the gray income of many people, or even return it to zero, but for now, no one has bought it.

In their view, someone still needs someone to set an example if the "Testing Method" is to be truly effective. Act according to regulations, but what to do in private, or what to do.

It's not that they are not afraid, nor that they think Zhang Juzheng is afraid, but they think that when someone is unlucky, they will see how unlucky it will be, and then they will make adjustments.

For these people, the reason why they hold this idea is because they don't believe that they will be so unlucky and become the first victim to be used to make an example of others, but this kind of thinking is not an exaggeration. After all, there were countless officials under the Ming Dynasty, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the first group of unlucky people were one in a million. They didn't believe that they would be so unlucky.

Therefore, even though the "Testing Law" has been promulgated, the actual situation has not changed much from before, and many people still go their own way.

As for Zhang Juzheng, he had foreseen this situation long ago, so he was not worried or anxious, he was waiting for an opportunity to really set an example for these people.

As for this matter, it is actually enough to rely on the "Testing Method" alone, but the "Testing Law" still has its shortcomings, that is, it is very useful for official matters, but if If someone is going to do something in private, there is no way.

Therefore, at this time, many special methods will be used.

Moreover, Zhang Juzheng's considerations are not limited to this. The application of the "Testing Method" can be regarded as the completion of one of his ambitions. Even if there is no effect yet, for Zhang Juzheng, it is only time The problem.

As for Zhang Juzheng, now he has to plan some other things, his ambition is not just that,
