Chapter 941 Lenovo
Bi Ziyan raised his hand and apologized for guilt, "Liang Chengyong is indeed a closed disciple of me. This man has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. He has learned a lot every day. Now he is full of talent and knowledge and has a great reputation among the scholars. I never thought that he would do favoritism and shelter, and he ordered the General Yuan to dismiss his post and investigate. I have the responsibility of knowing people and ask the emperor to sue him."
Zhu Xu sat on the soft collapse, holding the tea lid in his hand, rubbing the tea water, with a deep gaze.
Although the party struggles have basically been eliminated, most of the talent discoveries in the Ming Dynasty are still mainly based on "acquaintances", and the real recommendation, supervision and verification system has not been established.
Regardless of whether there is any problem or not, Liang Chengyong was promoted by Bi Ziyan based on his personal preferences. This model is abnormal.
However, this cannot be achieved overnight, and it needs to be taken slowly. At present, a stricter and more intensive supervision system must be established first.
"There are too many responsibilities in this matter, so let it be aside. What I want to say is how to avoid such things, how to discover them as soon as possible after something happens, and do you have any ideas?" Zhu Xu put down the teacup and looked at Bi Ziyan and said.
Bi Ziyan was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "Liang Chengyong's appointment was recommended by the Administrative Yuan Examination Department, registered by the Ministry of Personnel, approved by King Jing, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau before appointing him. He was very upright and innocent in the past, and this time he was confused, but the Ministry of Justice and the Administrative Yuan were hindered by each other, and the case soon broke out... What does the emperor mean?"
Zhu Xu paused. What Bi Ziyan said was true, but this was not his idea.
"Do you think the power of the Governor General is too great?" So Zhu Xu went further to give a tip.
Bi Ziyan immediately understood, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Does the Emperor want to split the Supervisory Council and establish six departments again?"
Zhu Xu subconsciously touched his chin. The thoughts of these adults always surround the circle in the past. When they see something, they think of walking back.
"The Censor of the Inspectorate is not a permanent institution, and his responsibilities are completely different from the twelve Censors in the past,"
Zhu Xu explained patiently, saying: "The Kedao period was still good at the beginning, but later it became a tool of party struggles and a vanguard of internal friction. I have no intention of restoring it... I plan to separate the Anti-Corruption Bureau from the Supervisory Council. What do you think?"
Bi Ziyan didn't expect that Zhu Xu meant this, and pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's OK. If it is led by the cabinet, it can indeed have a strong supervision of officials in the world, and can play all the roles from appointment to prosecution and punishment, so as to avoid private delegation from the Governor's Office and fraud."
Zhu Xu could hear that Bi Ziyan had concerns and reservations about the Governor's Office, but this was what he wanted. It would be terrible to have an unscrupulous cabinet.
But Zhu Xu did not mean to put this anti-corruption bureau in the cabinet. He smiled and said, "I plan to command directly."
Bi Ziyan immediately thought of the East Factory and the Jinyiwei. Both departments were directly under the emperors. The court officials have always suffered greatly from him, especially during the period of Wei Zhongxian, when officials all over the world wailed and shuddered.
Such an institution should not exist!
Bi Ziyan disliked such an institution from the bottom of his heart. He looked at Zhu Xu and raised his hand and said calmly: "Emperor, the 'New Policy' is to clarify the past bad policies. Dongchang and Jinyiwei were one of the main reasons for the corruption of our Ming Dynasty before the revelation. I oppose it again!"
Bi Ziyan said it very seriously and firmly. He has never fought hard with Zhu Xu. This time, he had to fight for it. Even if it would damage the power of heaven and the prefecture of the court, it would be detrimental to the new policy, and he would fight to the end!
As for personal gains and losses, he never cared about it.
Jinyiwei, Dongchang, must never appear again!
Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan's expression and didn't know how to speak.
This old man Bi Ge is still very obedient in many things, and can also stabilize the bureau and promote various government affairs step by step. However, occasionally, often, from time to time, some conservative thoughts and ideas that make Zhu Xu dislike.
‘You have to take it slowly, don’t worry…’
Zhu Xu comforted himself in his heart, looked at Bi Ziyan and said with a normal expression, "I have no intention and do not intend to re-establish the Dongchang. The 'Jian Xie Department' is just a temporary means and will be abolished immediately. The Anti-Corruption Bureau is still a fifth-ranked person, full-time anti-corruption, ensuring that the court and the officials of the world are honest and dedicated, impartial and upright, and that they will not be appointed by the internal supervisor."
毕自严听着,细细思索,还是皱眉,道:“皇上,那不如放在内阁,这样既能加强内阁权威,也更可有力于推动‘新政’.”
Zhu Xu shook his head and said in a light tone: "The cabinet must also be within the supervision of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Most of the slandered ministers before the Apocalypse came from the cabinet. This situation cannot be done anymore, and there is no need to discuss this matter. What the cabinet needs to do now is to end some tails as soon as possible, and the New Year is about to celebrate. After the beginning of the New Year, I will start the all-round reform of our Ming Dynasty. The cabinet must be prepared!"
Bi Ziyan was very uneasy. He instinctively disagreed with institutions that were separated from the cabinet control, and always felt that history would repeat itself.
But the emperor in front of him is not a revelation, and the ministers will not listen to the opinions of the ministers. The most important thing is that his control over the court is far beyond the past dynasties. Even if the cabinet unanimously opposes, the independence of the Anti-Corruption Bureau will continue as usual and cannot be stopped at all!
Bi Ziyan's expression changed and felt uncomfortable, as if he was stuck in his throat. After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, who is in charge of this Anti-Corruption Bureau?"
"Gong Dingzi." Zhu Xu said. He had already planned this matter, and the matter of Dingguo Duke's Mansion was just an introduction.
Bi Ziyan knew about this person, and his reputation was not very good, but he was basically an unknown person, just a juren, and he didn't even have a Jinshi.
Bi Ziyan felt much more relaxed, so he still wanted to fight for it and said, "Emperor, Gong Dingzi is an old man from Donglin, and he is not from a Jinshi. He has a very poor reputation. I suggest a change of someone."
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "If the situation in the future is stable and the 'new policy' is completed, I don't care who is in charge of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. The situation is full of troubles, and there is a young man here, which may bring us surprises."
Bi Ziyan listened to Zhu Xu's words very relaxed, but he felt uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he had to say: "Yes, the cabinet will draft an order as soon as possible."
Zhu Xu nodded and said, "I have asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a menu. I will ask the Silijian to send the list of the year-end banquet to the cabinet. If you have any ideas, I will tell me that other matters should be settled as soon as possible, especially the law of the vassal state, and discuss it as soon as possible to make some people feel at ease."
Bi Ziyan completely relaxed or sighed, raised his hand and said, "Abide by the order."
Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan's back and pinched his chin as if thinking.
Bi Ziyan's shortcomings are becoming more and more serious, but Zhu Xu cannot change him immediately. First of all, the current situation does not allow it. Secondly, Sun Chuanting has not trained enough. Thirdly, although Bi Ziyan's shortcomings are being revealed, his ability and prestige are increasing, and he must be promoting the "New Deal".
Zhu Xu put aside these things, looked up at Cao Huachun and said, "What do you say from the Zhang family?"
Cao Huachun knew what Zhu Xu meant, so he stepped forward and said, "Emperor, Miss Zhang said, this matter is incompatible with etiquette."
Zhu Xu became more and more hated the word "ritual". He waved his hand and said, "If she doesn't come, don't come. You are preparing for the New Year banquet, and then put it in the Ganqing Palace."
"Abide by the order." Cao Huachun said.
After Zhu Xu said this, he looked at the sky, stood up and said, "Let's go, Duke Zhang probably is anxious."
“是.”曹化淳应声,命人准备,前往慈宁宫.
When Zhu Xu left, the cabinet, the Governor of the Government, and the Dali Temple were more swift, and they announced that they would be tried openly and impartially while controlling public opinion, so as not to lose control.
Even so, there were still many discussions in every corner of the capital, and the noise was endless.
Bi Ziyan returned to the cabinet and convened people to discuss and conveyed some of Zhu Xu's meanings.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau was independent, and everyone felt uncomfortable. They felt a rope tied their necks, which was very uncomfortable. But they were also very clear that this was the emperor's intention, and they could not resist.
A carrier pigeon flew out of the palace and headed straight to the south. It was silent for the court and the world, but the impact was extremely far-reaching.
Inside Cining Palace.
Zhang Guoji, Empress Dowager Zhang, Xiao Yongning, Li Jieyu, Princess Le'an Zhu Huiti, Princess Gong Yonggu and others gathered together to chat and laugh and have a lot of fun.
"Uncle, is there anything else that's fun?" Xiao Yongning was the most lively and stared at Zhang Guoji and asked.
Zhang Guoji was still letting go and said with a smile: "The Dragon Mansion is now a place where all nations gather, and there are almost everything. I originally wanted to bring some into the palace, but the Empress would not allow her to bring them to the princess next time."
The little guy hummed twice, then opened his eyes wide and said, "Uncle, I heard that there are many strange people there. Do they eat too? Do they sleep too?"
Zhang Guoji laughed and didn't say anything.
Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head and said helplessly: "Everyone eats and sleeps, and I don't know where you come from these strange ideas."
Li Jieyu, Zhu Huiti and others are all laughing. If it is not suitable, they cannot interfere.
Zhang Guoji is not a good person, and he is very clear-headed. He looked at the people present and turned to Li Jieyu and said, "Empress Li, there are some medicines on the Western Yi side, which are particularly useful for children. After the old minister returns, he will send them to the palace. The empress knows the doctor and must know how to use it."
Li Jieyu looked at Zhang Guoji and chuckled softly, "Thank you, Mr. Duke."
Zhang Guoji smiled and said nothing. He knew about Bumubutai, the Shenlong Mansion.
Empress Dowager Zhang renewed a cup of tea for Zhang Guoji and said, "Father, I told the emperor that you are not in good health and should not be able to travel back and forth. Leave the matters in Nanzhili to others."
Zhang Guoji is actually not very old and has a good spirit. He looked at Empress Dowager Zhang, shook his head and smiled, "The capital is not very good. The water and rice in the south are nourishing people. If you weren't able to leave, I would rather you go together."
Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhang Guoji, frowned, and the corners of her mouth moved, and she didn't say anything again.
The capital is indeed not peaceful, and although Zhang Guoji is taken care of by her, it is not perfect. Hiding in Nanzhili may be able to avoid these vortexes.
"Hey, are you all waiting for me?" Zhu Xu stepped in and smiled at the group of people.
