Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 705 Great Achievement (1)

Emperor Chongzhen knew that there was no dynasty that could be passed on forever. Even if the reformation of the Ming Dynasty was successful, the cycle of inheritance was limited.

Where is the millennium dynasty?

No matter how good the system is, no matter how good the idea is, after a certain period of development, conflicts will eventually erupt. This is an objective fact.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know how long the Ming Dynasty could last.

However, Emperor Chongzhen knew a little bit, if in his hands, the civilization system bred in Shenzhou could expand the corresponding influence and build a well-defined Han cultural circle, it would be different.

Even if the Zhu family dynasty comes to an end in a certain period of time in the future, as long as the Han-dominated dynasty can inherit the territory and political heritage of Ming Dynasty, the influence of the Han cultural circle will continue to be maintained.

Of course, these are all things for later.

Qianqing Palace.

"Zhou Yanru is in Shandong, and he was ordered to preside over the Yanshenggong Mansion case, which can be regarded as a relatively satisfactory conclusion."

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, looked at the cabinet ministers, and said calmly: "However, I would like to ask you all, what do you think about the investigation and interrogation of the Yansheng Gongfu case?

For me, Ming, is this just an occasional case?Or is it a common phenomenon?

This is the most thought-provoking.

If the case of Yansheng Gongfu, which caused a sensation in the government and the public, did not give the country the due warning, then for me and for you, all the things we have done in the past will be in vain. "

Xu Guangqi, Wen Tiren, Bi Ziyan, Huang Liji, and Liu Hongxun all showed different expressions, similar to the phenomenon of land occupation in the Yanshenggong Mansion case. In fact, it is not uncommon in Daming, especially for those who enjoy privileges. The group of people even tried every means to annex as much land as possible.

It's a deep-seated phenomenon.

"Report to Your Majesty."

Xu Guangqi stepped forward, saluted and said, "The current situation like the Yanshenggong Mansion case is actually not an occasional case in our Ming Dynasty, but a relatively common fact.

Lawbreakers in some places use coercion, bribery, collusion, and coercion of the people to do things that violate the law.

And for various reasons, the imperial court didn't know much about these relatively common facts, and they didn't understand them comprehensively, which led to some bad things happening. "

Dare to say it!
Wen Tiren looked at Xu Guangqi in surprise, feeling very uneasy in his heart. If such arguments were spoken in front of the emperor, something big would definitely happen.

"What the Qing family said is exactly what I think."

Emperor Chongzhen lifted up the sleeves of his robe, looked around at the officials in the hall, and said loudly: "Nowadays in Daming, there is a very bad atmosphere, that is to bully the superior and oppress the inferior.

Where do the roots come from?
It is official corruption!

If this matter cannot be resolved and eradicated, no matter how much the court does, it will be useless.

I heard a joke that I thought was ridiculous, but I also felt scared. What is it... well, what is it called? There are policies and there are countermeasures.

Don't you think it's ridiculous?
But this is the truth!

Since the status quo of the Yanshenggong Mansion case is not an accidental case, then for the imperial court, it is necessary to investigate deeply to find out all the status quo! "

The issue of official administration is the key to whether a country can be passed on for a long time.

Xu Guangqi, the chief minister of the cabinet, in addition to coordinating and balancing the disputes between the old and the new, and properly solving many policy linkages of the reform, also shouldered an important responsibility, that is, to assist Emperor Chongzhen to rectify the corruption of the Ming Dynasty during his term of office. Officials.

A cabinet has its due responsibilities.

The chief assistant of the cabinet like Han Yu was more based on maintaining stability. Emperor Chongzhen called this Han Yu, who was able to secure the position of chief assistant.

Now many plans and deployments of the reform are being effectively promoted and implemented. It is definitely not acceptable to simply ignore some objective facts for the sake of maintaining stability.

If the problem of official administration cannot be properly resolved and effectively improved, then no matter how many reforms are done, it will be futile after all.

The many dividends brought about by the reform will be swallowed up by some groups of the conservative faction, and at the same time support a group of new vested interest groups.

In that situation, once the vested interest groups of the old and the new factions talk about converging, for Emperor Chongzhen, he will be completely excluded, or even fall into the water and die.

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The central inspection system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate needs to be further improved and strengthened. In addition to the responsibilities it shouldered in the past, some new responsibilities have to be added.

For example, check the number of acres of land.

For example, investigating unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

For example, inspecting local officials.

For example, to rectify the various judicial divisions.

This matter should be taken seriously, and the provinces of North Zhili, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi should be the main ones, and various inspections and investigations should be carried out first.

I also know that in this case, the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not enough, so I will be seconded from the Si Ya Office, and transferred from the new officials of the previous imperial examinations.

This matter will be handled by Xu Qing and asked Han Jisi from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to assist. I want to see the corresponding memorial, can the Qing family handle it well? "

"The minister obeys the order."

Xu Guangqi immediately bowed in response.

For a long time, Emperor Chongzhen has been leaning towards the northern provinces while ignoring the southern provinces. No matter what he does, he always adheres to this decision.

The reason for doing this is because of the imperial court's control, there are actually big problems.

Especially under the rule of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the control power is actually constantly decreasing.

Faced with such an objective fact, Emperor Chongzhen needed to clarify a concept first, that is, to strengthen his control over the northern provinces so that the northern provinces could develop and prosper.

As long as we can grasp the basic situation of the northern provinces, when the various new policies gradually achieve results and the foundation of the imperial court is strengthened, then we can change the direction and aim at the southern provinces with more problems and more bad governance. In a large-scale rebellion, Emperor Chongzhen would not be too passive!
Some things are better left unspoken.

"By the way, I think it's very good for Sun Chuanting's experiment in Henan Province."

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said: "There is a lot of controversy about this matter, but your cabinet needs a lot of support. If you want to solve the status quo of land annexation, you need to make appropriate changes.

It is a very good idea to abolish the per capita tax and apportion the per capita tax to the fields.

In the future, I don't want any voices of opposition to appear on the side of the cabinet. If there is any controversy, we should discuss it more, and don't raise it to the personal level. This is a bad phenomenon. "
