661 No Desire Always Teach the Heart Like Water

Zhu Cihong was not worried about the disturbance of the people by the wolf soldiers after they arrived in Annan.

If it is said that Le Loi rebelled against the Ming Dynasty because the Ming Dynasty oppressed too much, then how to explain the Vietnamese revolution in later generations?

Later generations of China helped Vietnam fight against the law and the United States, tightened their belts to support food and weapons, and trained Vietnamese military officers. What did they get in the end?

If Busch Enyi can't get friendship, it's better to increase the pressure so that they don't dare to resist at all, or even can't resist anymore.

"Guangxi and Annan are very similar in terms of local conditions and customs, and perhaps there is a rule that the strong are respected." Zhu Cihong said carefully: "It is better to solve it in their way, and the wolf will be used as Luo Yukun's assistant. Second official, in charge of operations on the southeast front."

Wu Zhen nodded his head to express his understanding.

Although the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty was more powerful than the prime ministers of the Tang and Song Dynasties, if the name was not correct, the words would not be smooth. After all, the Ming Dynasty did not have a prime minister, so even if it was a major national event such as the use of troops, Wu Zhen could only suggest and not interfere.Especially now that the Metropolitan Government has a tough attitude, and the cabinet has no position to interfere.

During Yongxi's Northern Expedition in the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty and the Privy Council made separate decisions to put Prime Minister Li Fang aside. As a result, the courtiers objected collectively, and Li Fang resigned in protest.Although Song Taizong still insisted on carrying out the Yongxi Northern Expedition, the result was a disastrous defeat and he had to admit his mistake.

This is the prime minister who goes up to assist the king, goes down to An Lishu, and all the officials avoid the way.

In the final analysis, the chief assistant of the cabinet is just a collection of political advisers and secretaries. It is the result of the usurpation of power by the cabinet ministers of the past generations that it can have today's power. It takes great self-knowledge to consolidate and continue this system.That's why Wu Hao sometimes felt that Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing and others had made more contributions than Xia Yan and Zhang Juzheng, who were powerful for a while.

Coming out of Wenhua Palace, Wu Tong suddenly felt that Daming had unknowingly become utilitarian.If there is any benefit, go there, and if there is no benefit, make trouble.Where did all the "scholars" who insisted on "morality" before Jiajing go?Could it be that it was really wiped out by the boards of the Shimiao?

It has been nearly a hundred years since the World Temple!Why is it that the country raises fewer and fewer scholars?

Wu Zhen stepped on the golden bricks in the palace and walked towards his office step by step.

There was a fire under the floor tiles of the office.The whole room is warm.

The capital in September was already very cold for Wu Tong at his age. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor never treated his subjects harshly in terms of office conditions.

Wu Zhen picked up the official documents on the table, and with a glance, he picked out one of the uniform texts. It was the memorabilia of the Imperial College requesting an increase in funding.Compared with the vigorous universities and schools now.Guozijian is like an abandoned child.The funds allocated to Guozijian every year are pitifully small.

Not to mention comparing it with "direct sons" such as Jingshi University, Xinglin University, Armed Forces University, and Naval University.Even a rural-level school like the Jingshi Jiangwutang received more funding than the Guozijian.

In the past, Guozijian could also sell the number of supervisors.Now everyone finds that it is easier for new students to become officials, especially after entering the Faculty of Law and Political Science or the Faculty of Administration.If you are more ambitious, you can also go to Xintuo to serve as the chief officer.If in a wild place like Haixi.Being an official is a magistrate.

Since the first year of Longjing, the official title of the people has gradually become popular. As long as the tax amount is high, you can get the title of son and male, just like your relatives.Even if you can't pay such a high tax, you can serve as a soldier, work as a worker, or even farm, as long as a man has a decent business and a woman can marry a husband.You can get the title of "Mr.

Although this public servant does not have the preferential treatment of tax exemption, he can travel unimpeded in the territory of Ming Dynasty without paying homage to officials.You can also not call yourself a "villain", and you can legally wear silk and satin.If it was placed before the Jiajing Dynasty, this would be an incomplete version of the student!

The real students are only exempted from taxes and food by two stones more than the officials.

In this case.It won't be long, not to mention that no one will take the imperial examination, even if there are not many people who read the Four Books and Five Classics and other Yuan classics.

Back then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not ban and destroy hundreds of schools, but because only Confucian scholars could be officials, all schools of thought were wiped out.This is exactly Dong Zhongshu's goal of "removing a hundred schools of thought" by "respecting only Confucianism".

Now His Majesty the Emperor has not abolished the imperial examinations, but only prefers the new learning. This is to "dispose of Confucianism" by "respecting all scholars".

——In this world, there are more idiots than eggs!

Wu Zhen saw two eggs on the desk, they were breakfast brought by the secretary, and he couldn't eat them.

"Guozijian is the basis for the selection of officials in the country's dynasty. Now it's time for all the prefectures to present their talents and select talents to catch up with them. Isn't it embarrassing to the public and others? Is it not putting the cart before the horse if you blindly seek the state's money and don't know how to renew the people? The original meaning is to study authentically in one's own country, select talents and talents, benefit the family and the country, and the funds should be sufficient!"

Wu Tong picked up a pen and wrote down the proposal, and pasted it on the inscription.

Although the cabinet is respected by the chief assistant, every cabinet minister is eligible to directly send the ticket to the palace.It's just a century of running-in that has finally created "cabinet democracy". Even the capital and ministers can't directly submit the proposals without greeting, and each cabinet minister also has the right to suggest revisions to the proposals of other cabinet elders.

Of course, Xia Yan, Yan Song, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng were not in this case, but none of them died well, so they became the negative teaching materials for the elders and chief assistants.

These few sentences written by Wu Sheng are very fair, and they denounce Guozijian from the standpoint of new learning.Nowadays, most of the small and medium-sized official scribes in the court are from new learning backgrounds, accounting for more than half of the court officials, so even if such words are spread and arouse dissatisfaction among a small number of people, they can still be supported by widespread public opinion after all.

Moreover, the new learning is the result of sparing no effort to promote the development. Don't fight against the emperor in the court. This is the basic principle of life.

The other court elders were all from Jinshi background, so they looked down upon officials from Guozijian.So the bill went to the Sheren Division and entered the Supervisor of Rites along with the title book.

Nowadays, the Supervisor of Ceremonies is really a yamen that doesn't count as a messenger room. All the books are only placed there, and the eunuchs are only responsible for helping to carry them.Those who handled the writing were all Sheren Keshe people, and finally the emperor personally approved it.

Zhu Cihong worked about ten hours a day. He communicated with elders, received officials from various departments, received foreign officials who had returned to Beijing for a briefing, and received officials who had resigned from His Majesty... All these took three to five hours.The rest of the time has to be dealt with the memorials sent from various places. Even if the cabinet sorts and drafts, and hand over insignificant notebooks such as "Greetings", "Congratulations", and "Reporting Rui" to the Sheren Division for reply, there are still countless records every day. Hundreds of playbooks.

If you encounter the period of self-reported subjects and property declaration, there will be more notebooks.

Although many memorials only need to be approved: "a certain ministry knows", "the cabinet knows", "do according to this"...but occasionally spot checks are required to avoid being fooled by many people.

The rest of the memorials on military and state affairs must be read carefully, and the opinions of the memorials and the cabinet draft opinions should be integrated, and decisions can be made after in-depth thinking.For some cases where the differences are too great, the officials involved and the elders of the cabinet should be interviewed for discussion.

With such a huge workload, the importance of Sherenke is self-evident.

Lu Suyao first ordered people to check the list of officials from the Imperial College since the first year of Chongzhen, and found that there were no officials from the Imperial College after the National Revolution.

This means that the role of Guozijian in today's world is almost zero.

In addition, it was asking for money, and even the old gentlemen in the cabinet couldn't take it seriously, so this inscription was naturally placed in the column of "not important, not urgent", and it was submitted to the royal review when there was time.

Zhu Cihong didn't even open the notebook, only read the draft, and wrote: "The Imperial College knows." Then put it aside.

At this time, it has been three months since the Imperial College played.It has also been a month since Wu Sheng's ticket was scheduled to be submitted.

In the past four months, Guozijian Jijiu has replaced a new person.

The new sacrificial wine is the famous Mr. Jishan Liu Zongzhou.

This great Confucian died in a hunger strike due to the collapse of the country in the original historical time and space.It's just that he doesn't have Wang Yangming's mastery, and he hasn't made military achievements in quelling disasters, so his historical evaluation is not high.

For Zhu Cihong, the first time he heard the name Liu Zongzhou was after his rebirth.Because there is no character setting from the previous life, Zhu Cihong classified Liu Zongzhou into the category of "empty-talking rotten Confucianism", and he is an extremely speechless rotten Confucianism.

As a scholar in Shaoxing in the south of the Yangtze River, with close contacts with so many powerful families, this Mr. Ji Shan actually naively believed that as long as Emperor Chongzhen set a good example and lived a moral Confucian life, the world would be governed.

If it were someone else, it might be the spokesperson of the Shi family, but Liu Zongzhou was able to do such a cruel thing as starving himself to die for the country, which shows that he really believed so.

The end result is that even an emperor as young as Chongzhen felt that he was pedantic, and just lamented his loyalty.

It is not surprising that Zhu Cihong chose Liu Zongzhou, because Liu Zongzhou's reputation is indeed too great, and his two disciples, Huang Zongxi and Chen Que, both work in Sherenke.

Nowadays, Xie Xuelong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is actually the same as Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou.

The government and the public were clamoring for Liu Zongzhou to come out of the mountain, so Zhu Cihong naturally didn't need to embarrass the officials because of the position of offering sacrifices to the Imperial Academy.

Surprisingly, Liu Zongzhou came out of the mountain.

Liu Zongzhou released Brown in the 25th year of Wanli. He was not accepted as an official because of his mother's death.In the last years of the Wanli Dynasty, there were already signs of party struggle in the court, and the atmosphere of official governance was corrupt.Liu Zongzhou, who was obsessed with spiritual cleanliness, resigned and returned to his hometown on the grounds of serving his relatives.

In the Apocalypse Dynasty, the imperial court will recommend Liu Zongzhou to the cabinet with "thousands of solar terms, a generation of perfect people. The world is called Qilin and Phoenix, and scholars are Taishan Beidou."

But Liu Zongzhou Shangshu declined and said: "The decline of the morals of the world, scholar-bureaucrats don't know what etiquette is, and they often know but don't know how to retreat. And it changes, or advance by retreat. As for advance by retreat, the more skillful it is to hide below, Those who hold on to the world will have no power, and they will rush to the field of fame and gain." He suddenly wants to correct the morale of the people by himself, strengthen his integrity, and set an example for the "declining world".

Such a person is now willing to become an official in Beijing!
