.Wenyuan Pavilion, the regular meeting will continue.

"The Minister of Rites Zhao Zhenji wrote a letter to talk about three things." Li Chunfang, who was on duty today, said lightly: "One, please remove the official titles and edicts of the former real person Shao Yuanjie, Tao Zhongwen and others, destroy the archway of the archery and his land and houses: Second, please destroy all the newly built and built palaces in the West Garden and the Jianzhai Palace; Third, please dismiss the late emperor and give them the title of the vassal kings and the real persons." Once these three things are correct, the world will inevitably be in an uproar, but because they are all from the spirit of the will, no one can object. Zhao Dazhou is worthy of being Zhao Dazhou. The three fires of this new official took office are precise and enthusiastic, and he can regain his reputation in an instant.

"It should have been done like this long ago!" Zhang Juzheng was the first to express his agreement: "First, the two Taoist priests of Shao and Tao can be used to alert the world to those who want to be favored by flattery: the second is the Western Garden, but now it is all "Yuxi Palace", Xuandu Temple, etc., which are not in a proper way. However, there is no need to demolish it. It is another expense. It is a pity to destroy the palaces built with so many excellent materials. In fact, I think that just by removing the plaques, changing the names of these palaces, and then removing all the magic tools, it can be used for other purposes. Why should I demolish them?"

After hearing Zhang Juzheng's revision of the Xiyuan Palace, everyone nodded and said that this was the right way.

"The third one is even more necessary." Seeing the Toutai Cai, Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed in his deep voice: "At the time, the late emperor was keen on cultivating the mystery. The vassal kings believed in Taoism and asked for titles from real people, such as the Liao king in my hometown. It would be fine, the title of the real person of Qingweizhong Sect. If they just flattered the late emperor, they had some vassal kings who had ulterior motives and used this name to summon people who escaped, confusing the people. They also left the fiefdom every now and then." They said that they went to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi to visit Zhang Tianshi. But in fact, seeking immortals and visiting Taoism was just the name of grandeur. No one knew what he had done in detail. "..."

According to regulations, the royal family and vassal kings are not allowed to leave their fiefdom without the emperor's grace. Violators will be demoted to common people. Although the Liao king has it, the real person of the Qing Weizhong Sect, no one dared to pursue this amulet at that time, Jiajing did not dare to pursue it, but after all, he violated the ancestral law and has not restrained it yet. Zhang Juzheng exposed this matter and even criticized the mulberry and locust of slandering and slandering. Everyone couldn't help but guess, what was the relationship with the Liao king who exaggerated so much?

But even though he is a Grand Secretary, he can't help a prince with this false charge... Maybe he just couldn't stand it, so he just complained a few more.

But this is just the idea of ​​a loyal elder like Gao Gong and Chen Yiqin. Although the rest of the people didn't know what Zhang Juzheng would do, they all knew that he had set his sights on the King of Liao. "... After hearing what Zhang Juzheng said, Xu Jie nodded and looked at the justice: "If there is no objection, just follow it."

"Yuan Weng, the lower officials basically agreed with the views of the Ministry of Rites, but Tao Zhongwen's punishment for Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen should not be too heavy." Shen Mo said in a low voice: "One, the reason why the alchemist and Taoist priests were favored was that the former emperor was obsessed with cultivating Xuan." In the Jiajing dynasty, more than ten Taoist priests entered Chaotian Temple first, among which Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen were relatively famous." There were no obvious evil deeds in the dynasty for thirty years: the two of them had been with the emperor for a long time, and they knew very well about the secrets of the court.

, it is inevitable that he will pass on his descendants. If he pursues him too ruthlessly, his children will spread rumors. At that time, the emperor secretly tells the world of Xin Zhao, and his close ministers will be a joke. If there is someone with ulterior motives, he still doesn't know what the face of the court will be damaged." As he said that, he sighed: "I thought it would be better to just cut off his official position and entrust his title, which can also alert the world." It can also make his children feel awe and dare not act rashly...

Silence said this, others were still good, and Xu Jie's heart skipped a beat, because in order to compete for favor with Yan Song, he was the prime minister and wrote green poems all day long, not only tried elixirs, but also had to wear his hair and wear a sling with the head, and dance with the emperor with a great god... Such unsightly things can be said to be countless in the more than ten years of praise for the cultivation of the motherland. Looking back now, he was always sweating and embarrassed and angry. If he really wanted to be clear, how could he have the face to gain a foothold in the court? He could only find a crooked tree to hang himself.

"Well, there is some reason." Xu Jie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Seeing that everyone had no objection, he laughed dryly and said, "Then let's write according to the intentions of Taiyue and Jiangnan."

At the risk of damaging his reputation, he finally saved Tao Tianshi's family and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This was the most talked time since he lost his voice. In fact, he could not interfere with this voice, because he had only made an oral agreement with Tao Zhongwen at the beginning and there was no evidence left. If he pretended to be deaf and dumb at this time, no one could blame him.

But Chen Si would not do this. Since he promised others, he would not betray the debt. Even if Tao Zhongwen had been dead for many years, no one knew about this, he would not forget that in Yuxi's palace, beside the purple gold furnace, he promised to take care of Tao Zhongwen's family... On the other hand, think about it, isn't this the wisdom of Tao Tianshi's knowledge?

There is another thing in the first month of the year that seems to be small but has a profound significance. That is, Zhang Juzheng summarized Zhengde, the accumulated financial problems since Jiajing's reign, and combined with his own thoughts on reality, solemnly proposed the "Chen Jian Qi Dias": In the memorial, he clearly pointed out that "In the present, the main income of the treasury is land tax. Only when the imperial court grasps the land tax, the court talks about organizing finances and then riching the country. However, since Jiajing, the state has been made by bribery, officials and people have been made by flattery families, and those who have followed the country have also been tolerant of all policies to achieve private annexation.

As a result, the private sector is becoming richer, the office is becoming poorer, the country is scarce, and the people are poor. This is the real disease. I personally think that bribery of the government is easy to cure, but leniency of tolerance is difficult to cure. Why? The bribery of the government is only to punish greed. As for the policy of tolerance, it is for personal gain according to the law and to be selfish. As far as I know, the land of a rich family accounts for 70% of the world, but it is not accepted by the time.

The common people used 30% of the land to serve civil and military officials, royal families, pay border troops, and provide for the country's use. How can the people not be tired? How can the country not be poor?

Now, the emperor is standing up and guarding, and all the wise ministers support each other. If Zhong Ni is the prime minister, he will probably not be able to overcome this. Therefore, he refreshes politics and strengthens the fundamentals, "sets strategies for peace and bans, advocates frugality, and promotes teachings of etiquette and righteousness. At this time, the ministers are not talented and dare to ask for the compilation of the world's land tax. Their first focuses on making arrangements for themselves, eliminates bribery, and punishes corruption and ingenuity, so he saves the corruption of bribery. Investigates and eliminates the problems of bribery, cleans up the improperty, and strictly punishes the traitors of invading fishermen and fishermen, so he criticizes the policy of tolerance. The upper harms the lower harms the lower harms, and the private gates are closed, and the office is strong. Therefore, punishing corruption officials is enough for the people, and those who are free and liable are enough for the country. Then both officials and people are good, and the upper and lower humiliation are good! The long-term Kaiyuan is prosperous, and the world is heartbroken!

This memorial is a declaration of Zhang Juzhengcao to eliminate financial ills. "The statement is not new, but the biggest difference between him and others is that others only say not to do it, but he has to do it! Then he posted a "Memorial to Purify Land and Miles", which clearly stated that all provinces should be exempted from the arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears of arrears

This is amazing, because all those who are capable of owing taxes are big landlords and big families. Now Zhang Juzheng has proposed to force officials to recover the accumulated debts over the years, which is to force them to attack the big families!

So as soon as this book was published, it immediately caused heated debate in the cabinet. Even Li Chunfang, who had not expressed much opinion, said: "Isn't this a bit fucking?"

"In addition, what other ways can increase the treasury income and make up for the huge difference between the annual income and the annual income?" Zhang Juzheng said firmly: "It is foreseeable that in the next few years, the imperial court will frequently use military forces to Mongolia. It is far from enough to rely solely on the tariffs of the Maritime Bureau. "There is no need to change anything, as long as the taxes that should be collected," the treasury will be truly rich, and it can be supported by the years of military use!"

"The urge is too urgent" may the people flee and cause chaos." Guo Pu frowned.

"The master of the Pavilion has been deceived! These are all because of the treacherous people's advice and sway to shake the superiors, and they cannot deceive the wise and wise people!" Zhang Juzheng said loudly: "The people who are invaded and chaotic are all recorded by corrupt officials, but the superiors do not give in to them, and the powerful are merged, and the people are poor and lose their homes!" It pointed out the real reason for the people's escape incisive ways. It continued to expose ruthlessly: "Now, those who are invading and deceiving hidden people are powerful and powerful, not small people! And the people who are in charge of the law are treacherous, not good people, and not good people! And the people who are invading and deceiving the hidden people, not good people!

People! When the Qingyin and Yin divination are used, the common people will be exempted from the burden of compensation, and they will be able to keep their original career: punish greed and ink, and the troubles of the Pavilion Yan Wulu can be disturbed and settled in the fields! In this way, the people will celebrate with their foreheads, so how can they escape?" He looked at Guo Pu and said, "The public has extensive records and looked at the rise and fall of ancient and modern times. There have been officials who are peaceful and peaceful in the people, and the land tax has led to chaos? Therefore, all those who say this are treacherous people to speak to the superiors. I hope the public will not be confused by rumors!"

Zhang Juzheng's eyes swept over everyone present again, and finally fell on Xu Jie, and bowed: "The emperor trusts and gives all the national affairs to the prime minister. We should be loyal to the country and never be willing to tolerate personal gain! With the weight of the world, we will not hesitate to destroy our families to benefit the country. Why fear the stranger's head for help? How can we just be shaken by the mere discussion?" The sonorous words, with courage, make people change their colors when they hear it.

Gao Gong applauded at that time, and Shen Mo nodded secretly and said in his heart: What a brass and iron-hearted Zhang Juzheng."

No one can argue with Zhang Juzheng in person, because in the face of the truth, all words are pale...

However, this does not mean that Zhang Juzheng's suggestion will be adopted, because the truth will always be raped by the powerful. After the two memorials were handed over, the previous one received only one instruction, and then there was no further text, and the next one was directly shelved.

In the first month of the year, the personnel arrangements of the cabinet changed. Because the officials who were reinstated were basically in place, Zhang Juzheng and Chen Yiqin no longer served as ministers, but were only appointed as senior ministers with the title of Shangshu... The Minister of Revenue was replaced by Ge Shouli, the Minister of War was Wang Guoguang, and the Left Minister of Personnel was replaced by Zhong Qing. Because these officials themselves were reinstated through the will, they could take office directly without the need to go to court.

The work of the cabinet itself was also refined from the original collective management to specialized in charge. In addition to Xu Jie still taking charge of the overall situation, Gao Gong was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, Guo Pu was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Criminals, Li Chunfang was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, Shen Mo was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War, Chen Yiqin was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Works, and Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. This was a very important practice after Xu Jie proposed the high-profile, three repatriation, and the program. For the Chief Auxiliary, he no longer had any inquiries in every detail, but was only responsible for the national policy and the major affairs of the court. He could not only get rid of the reputation of taking over power, but also get rid of the heavy and specific affairs, so as to better understand the overall situation and grasp the major policies.

However, the chief minister is the one who delegates power. For the cabinet as a whole, this is a strengthening of power. The six grand magistrates correspond to six ministries, each of whom is responsible for one's own merits and demerits. It will undoubtedly make the cabinet members closer to the sects of each ministries and interrogate more frequently. It is inevitable that the power of the officials in each ministries will weaken more or less the concubines... As for how much it depends on each person's ability.

This series of personnel arrangements are all derived from Xu Jie. After careful examination, there are quite some knowledge. Six Grand Secretarys and six Shangshu masters paired with each pair, each with a different style.: The Ministry of Rites is a husband and wife, and the shape is a Shangshu Zhao Zhenji, who is like a thunderbolt fire, while Li Chunfang, who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, has a temperament that is like a gentle drizzle and never argues with others. I believe that they will get along well in the future, but Zhao Zhenji has the final say in big and small matters.

The Ministry of Works is "a chaotic and uneasy, and both Chen Yiqin and Lei Li are not good-tempered." They also have different camps, one is Gao Gong's ally, and the other is Xu Jie's lackey. However, the Ministry of Works is a very serious yamen. These two people gather together, and it would be strange if they don't quarrel.

The Ministry of Justice is a slander, with a scheming attitude, Guo Pu is highly prestige, Huang Guangsheng is very scheming, and the two are also part of Xu, and the Gao camp "has a contest with each other, but the situation of the Ministry of Justice is quite special. Criminal investigation and sentencing are owned by laws. It is the most independent of the six ministries, and there are few places that need to ask for instructions on the cabinet. Guo Pu wants to manage it, but there are not many places to intervene. With Huang Guangsheng's ability, it is not a problem to fool Lao Guo...

The Ministry of Revenue is an elite group, and Ge Shouli is an old minister who is one year older than Xu Jie. He was originally a qualified Minister of Revenue, who is old and polite, and has rich experience. Zhang Juzheng has great talent and enterprising spirit, and has the same talent. He is also very capable, and has the same steadily capable left assistant minister Xu Yangzheng and right assistant minister Liu Tiqian formed a luxurious combination with the highest six ministries. Xu Jie also realized that the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty had reached a point that must be reversed, so he sent all his generals to use the Ministry of Revenue as a breakthrough for the Longqing New Policy.

The Ministry of Personnel is a combination of strong and powerful "Lao Gao and Lao Yang, the two giants of the court, are the same strong and hard, together, and they are in charge of the selection and management of officials of the court. Who listens to whom? At the beginning, they may be concerned about face and be polite to each other, but over time, they will inevitably have sister Wu and set up a gangster. No matter how close the relationship is, they will have to turn against each other."...

The Ministry of War was difficult to intervene. Although Wang Chonggu did not become the Minister of War, his new soldier, Wang Guoguang, was also from Shanxi. In addition, Huo Ji, also the right assistant minister of Shanxi, directly wrapped the Ministry of War. Even if Old Yang Bo didn't speak, Shen Mo could not intervene... Although Lu Bu was brave enough to defeat the three Yings, he could not escape the fate of fighting soy sauce!

Everyone likes the throne of the auxiliary. If you want to sit firmly and not be taken away, you must have your own unique skills. Yan Song's method is to serve the emperor for decades, and to repay the honor.

He was always favored. And Xu Jie could not lose all his ministers' decency like Yan Song and try to please the new emperor, so he could only use other methods to consolidate his position, which was careful personnel arrangements. It is no exaggeration to say that in recent years, Mr. Xu has devoted his main energy to personnel arrangements. He regards the 36 yamen in the two capitals as chess boards, calmly cloth pieces, and linked them together, reflecting all his intentions in the appointment and arrangement of officials in the court.

Therefore, Xu Jie could delegate power elsewhere, but he would never let go of the power of personnel. Even Zhang Juzheng could not change his mind... In fact, Zhang Juzheng strongly recommended that his close friend Wang Guoguang would take over as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but Xu Jie insisted on arranging Ge Shouli to the Ministry of Revenue. The reason was that Xu Ge Lao was uneasy about Zhang Juzheng's overly radical strategy of changing the grass. Although he knew that changing the grass was imminent, he still wanted to proceed step by step in a stable way. Therefore, letting Ge Shouli sit in the Ministry of Revenue was to put the reins of Zhang Juzheng, the divine horse, not to change the grass, and it would make the heavens angry and resentful, and it would not end.

For Zhang Juzheng, this spring was a bit cold. He completely understood that although the teacher had been trying to lay the red carpet for him, what Xu Jie wanted was a successor who obeyed him, not a debt collector who was against him. So although Xu Jie took care of himself, he also suppressed him with great strength... He had never allowed himself to stand alone. In addition to protecting, there were reasons to prevent himself from becoming a good person.
