My Daming New Empire

In the main hall, there were bursts of breathing sounds from time to time. This was from the ministers who watched the law, and they looked at Zhu Zhanji more and more.

If it weren't for the court, Zhu Gaochi would have wished to throw this law in Zhu Zhanji's face.Since ancient times, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats have ruled the world, not to manage the scholar-bureaucrats as if they were criminals.

When discussing matters in the court, you even have to apply to speak, and there are still restrictions on speaking.You can't directly talk to opponents who have different opinions. Isn't this the same as interrogating prisoners in court!

Looking at his son's young and resolute face from a few steps away, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Why are you so careless? There have been so many troubles just after you came back. This is to blame the whole family. Is the scholar-bureaucrat class opposed? Without the scholar-bureaucrat, how can the world be governed?"

But compared to Zhu Gaochi's worrying about others, among civil servants, many insightful people realized the benefits behind this orderly rule after a short period of anger.

Which minister has not been scolded in court?Because of a dispute over an official matter, the feud that ended up wishing the other party's family would die did not happen at the same time.

Therefore, they can actually accept the standardization of the order of the court and the discussion of the matter.

However, the only thing they cannot accept is that all ministers cannot express their opinions on affairs outside their own duties, let alone intervene!

Three people must have my teacher, and the truth becomes clearer and clearer.Managing the world is the business of the people in the world, how can we only rely on the words of one family and one person's plan?

And without their restraint, wouldn't those generals want to rebel?

On the contrary, military generals and nobles are very supportive of this rule, because they can't intervene in political affairs, and they lead the army to fight, and they are often criticized by civil servants.

Zhu Zhanji didn't realize at all that his own simple rules and regulations would be considered by Zhu Gaochi to deprive civil officials of their dignity, and they would also be considered by civil servants to restrict their power.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Jian Yi first hugged Chaohu and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have a proposal."

Zhu Di didn't sit idle, and kept observing everyone's demeanor.Wen Yan replied simply: "Talk."

"I made a rough sketch of this law, thinking that this law is acceptable as a whole, but there are minor omissions that need to be corrected by public opinion."

Zhu Di gave another simple answer: "Please speak, Aiqing."

Jian Yi had a meeting about the content of the law, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "The minister thinks that this law is desirable to regulate the order of the court, but a clear division of labor is not desirable; it is desirable to discuss the matter, prohibiting insults and sarcasm, and it is not desirable to make a final conclusion; the law of balance is desirable. , It is not advisable to blindly balance."

In such a short period of time, we have come up with three good things and three bad things, and they all hit the point.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help staring at Jian Yi, he's a genius!

He turned his attention to the Sanyang who he saw in the history book. They have all entered the court now, but they have not reached the highest level yet.

Compared with the three of them who were praised by history because they snatched power from the emperor, he felt that Jian Yi's ability might be better.

Zhu Di on the stage was also interested, nodded and said, "Let's talk about it in detail."

Thank you Shan Qingying, see people with lights, mad dragon storm, I spit out your reward, thank you for your support

Chapter 12 Court Council

The power struggle in the imperial court has been the biggest problem in the management of all dynasties since the division of classes.

Those company leaders in later generations fought to the death for a little bit of power, let alone managing a huge country.

The huge benefits derived from this and the value of the realization of life aspirations cannot be given up by anyone.

But in a small way, it is like a family, the emperor is the master, and the minister is the mistress. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

No matter how loving the couple is, they will not give in when safeguarding their own interests.

This "Rules of Procedure of the Ming Court" was obviously brought out by Zhu Di to regulate the court proceedings, and these are acceptable to the ministers.

However, the deep-seated power struggle and interest struggle behind it are something that ministers cannot give up.

Even if Zhu Di is now arbitrarily arbitrary, and the emperor for more than ten years has been doing whatever he wants, he still has to fight when it's time to fight, and he can't give up without even fighting.

If this is the case, don't say that they can't get over this hurdle by themselves, even Zhu Di will look down on them.

No capable emperor would be afraid of ministers grabbing power, because this means that ministers have their own ideas.

In an imperial court, everyone is a respondent, and that is the real danger.

So Zhu Diming knew that Jian Yi's words were a provocation to him, and he was dissatisfied with the system, but he still let him finish his sentence.

Moreover, he doesn't mind making some concessions in some irrelevant places to encourage their behavior.

Through the observation just now, he has already discovered that if the civil servants are unwilling to accept this law, the generals and nobles absolutely support it.

Jian Yi took a deep breath, tried to calm his voice, and said: "The minister just briefly read the rules. This rule is indeed very effective in regulating the court discussion process. One thing, endless quarrels. But to limit all civil and military ministers to a specific range is tantamount to cutting off their brothers and closing their eyes and ears. He is a great talent in governing the country. But if it is limited to one eye and one outline from now on, wouldn’t it be overkill?”

Zhu Di smiled and asked, "I know that Aiqing is a great talent in governing the country, but can you build a house?"

"I don't know. But I can know whether the house is well built or not, and whether it looks good or not."

This is the normal logic of literati in this era. Although I don't know how to do it, I am more talented than you. I am better than you, and then you have to listen to me.

It’s nothing special if you can build houses, it’s nothing if you can lead armies to fight wars, and it’s nothing if you can build guns.Those are the bottom line, only the knowledge in the book, the righteousness of being a human being is the main thing.

Zhu Di hummed and said, "Everyone has different opinions. When everyone has different opinions, wouldn't this craftsman not even build a house?"

Jian Yi replied: "If this is not the case, the opinions cannot be unified, and the truth will become clearer and clearer....Even if there is a disagreement, His Majesty will decide in the end."

"If I have to decide everything, what's the use of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty?"

Jian Yi also knew very well that Zhu Di was secretly changing concepts.But recently, for the interests of Nanzhou, and today for the money brought back by the grandson, the emperor has been arguing endlessly, which made the emperor a little bored.

He opened his mouth to argue: "The role of the ministers standing here is to spread the grace to the world on behalf of His Majesty, and to let His Majesty know why he wants to do this before making a decision, what are the benefits of doing this, and what is the purpose?" The minister knows that His Majesty is disappointed these days, but there will always be a day when the dust settles on all matters."

Zhu Zhanji listened with admiration. Of course he didn't agree with all Jian Yi's words, but his positioning of the minister was indeed very precise.And this person's thinking and wisdom are very powerful.

Today's Ming Dynasty does not have a clear basis for division of labor, because there are not enough professionals.

The foundation of a country's development is definitely not the bottom-level illiterate people, but the talents with a knowledge base.

This knowledge does not necessarily have to be Confucian literary talents, but can be mathematical talents, craftsmen, physicists, or even accountants, etc. Only their research, their inventions, and their improvements are the key to promoting social development. Base.

But Daming doesn't have so many professionals now.

For more than 1000 years, Confucianism has vigorously suppressed other industries, leading to the fact that the governance of the country can only rely on words and past historical experience.

This is also the main reason why the East has basically stagnated during the development process of more than 2000 years, and the dynasties have changed one after another, but they have formed a generation after generation cycle.

Confucian scholars pay attention to erudition and broad talents, although this erudition and breadth are limited to the scope of Confucianism.

They have superficial experience in everything, but they don't know the reasons behind the formation of these knowledge systems, let alone how to expand them.

No, they are not allowed to expand at all, they can only learn from the ancients, the ancients are gods, and they can't even suspect that the ancients are wrong.

Any change is a blasphemy to the faith and disrespect to the ancients.

Because they also want to be "ancient people".
