Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

It is not difficult to deceive the superiors and subordinates about many things, but it is not easy to hide the truth from colleagues, or to keep a close eye on one's colleagues.

check!

Thorough investigation!

Just like the smuggling case supervised by the Sanju Department in the coastal areas, they kept following the vines and implicated deeper corruption.

This is also the case with the agricultural tax issue again and again, following the vines again and again, from bottom to top, a series of land tax issues have been involved!

In just a few months, from a small official of the ninth rank to a chief envoy of the third rank...

This kind of corruption spread to the center like snowflakes. Faced with this, the emperor was obviously completely enraged by the filth that was thrown out.

Business is just icing on the cake, making the foundation of the country stronger. No matter how bad the business is, it can't shake the foundation of the country.

No matter how corrupt the business is, it is just a little less business tax, and the prosperity of the general environment can still add to the icing on the cake for Daheng.

Just like the smuggling in the sea area, although there are fewer tariffs, commercial behavior will still promote economic prosperity, thereby driving the development of surrounding regions.

As long as strict supervision is maintained, erosion can be controlled within a certain range.

But farming is obviously different. Any trace of corruption related to farming, even if it is only an acre of land, is likely to be related to the wealth and lives of a family of people.

What kind of scene will it be if the people can't survive? The past dynasties have already made it clear.

Where there is oppression, there must be resistance!

This is shaking the foundation of Daheng's national destiny, and the emperor must not tolerate it!

At the court meeting, there was a thunderous fury, adding fire to the already boiling situation!

The turmoil that lasted for more than half a year, after arriving in Zhaowu in the second half of the sixth year, under the thunder of the emperor this time, he seemed to be full of energy.

Officials and generals have been sacked one after another, and the case files reviewed by the Three Law Departments in just a few months seem to be several times more than the case files reviewed by Daheng Liguo in the past few years.

After all, in the past, most of the disturbances were led by the emperor himself. The emperor never said any rules. Jin Yiwei took people, interrogated them, and dealt with them.

The whole process has nothing to do with Sanfa Division.

But this time, no matter whether it is Wen or Wu, the cover that was lifted is all going through the process in the Sanju Division.

Under civil and military checks and balances, this incident has turned into an unquestionable anti-corruption action.

After all, in the three-law judicial process of civil and military checks and balances supervision, if there is no unquestionable evidence, it is a loophole, a pigtail, and if you are caught, it is a steal.

Under such circumstances, whether it is civil servants or generals who have fallen from horses, they are all obviously guilty.

The focus of civil and military anxiety also lies in the three law departments.

But compared to civil servants, Wu Xun's advantage is obviously greater.

After all, Wu Xun can check and balance the three judiciary departments, but civilian officials cannot supervise the military judiciary department.

The Wu Xun found it, and handed it to the San Judicial Division. Under supervision, they had to check it if they didn't want to.

However, the civil servants found out the corruption of Wu Xun, but they could only hand it over to the Military Justice Department, which became an internal matter of the army.

As for Daheng's army, since the pre-Ming period, it has completely had nothing to do with civil servants. Although the order is now normal, the relationship between civil servants and the army is only limited to logistics, and it is difficult to touch inspection and supervision.

This point, under the current situation, is obviously crucial, and it is a fatal flaw for civil servants.

With the evolution of time, this defect, in this political struggle, has obviously become more and more obvious.

Pressing every step of the way will bring about a defeat step by step. In the end, this turmoil seems to be about to turn into a purge of the landlords and gentry.

However, the only difference is that the former dominance lay with the Son of Heaven, and the civil servants and gentry could only bear it passively.

But this time, he was designated as one of the three jurisprudence divisions in the imperial court. To some extent, it was "Wu Xun" who took advantage of his position...to force the civil servants to cut their own flesh with knives.

The core of the problem seems to be...the civil servants, in the civil servants' arena, are powerless to take the lead, and are even forced by the warriors they have always looked down upon, even powerless to resist.

The reason for this is already very clear.

That is, in the home field of civil servants, there are a large number of "fake civil servants" with martial arts forces, which greatly oppresses the living space of Daheng, a traditional civil servant and gentry.

Moreover, the education system for talent selection has not yet been determined, and the fresh blood of civil servants and gentry is either excluded from the Daheng order, or they become unorthodox civil servants.

The thick estrangement made it impossible to form a joint force with traditional civil officials to defend the living space of traditional literati like them in the Daheng order.

In other words, the core of the problem is just one point, that is...the education system for talent selection is uncertain. There is no system that continuously trains and selects civil servants to replenish fresh blood for civil servants. Daheng's civil and military momentum, civil servants, will always be Will be suppressed by Wu Xun.

The reason why they were able to compete with Wu Xun before was only because... the emperor suppressed Wu Xun.

Rather than what they imagined, the emperor supported Wu Xun to suppress their civil servants and gentry...

After the establishment of Daheng, the establishment of the country with military force, and the change of dynasty, the political environment of the former Ming Dynasty has evolved accordingly. The culture is noble and the military is cheap, and it is about to become history!

In the six years of Zhaowu, during the turmoil that lasted for a whole year, many civil servants have already realized this cruel reality involuntarily.

The times have already changed, but they are still immersed in the glory of the past, even if they are aware of the change, they are unwilling to accept it.

But in fact, they are not dominated by them, and they don't have much choice.

Daheng, only Daheng's literati.

They stick to the so-called noble glory, even if they can stick to it for a while, they can't keep it forever.

Daheng is not Daming after all.

Emperor Zhaowu was not the emperors of the previous Ming Dynasty.

If you are stubborn, you will eventually be eliminated...

……

6 Chapter Fifty Compromise

"Hahaha……"

At the end of the sixth year of Zhaowu, the wind and snow howled, but it could not conceal the happy laughter of the emperor in the Qianqing Palace.

In the palace, held by the emperor, is a stack of thick files, all of which are the intelligence and news collected by Jin Yiwei from all over the world in the late sixth year of Zhaowu.

And the source of this information is the North and South Shilin.

In fact, today's Shilin is already a very illusory term compared with the Han and Tang Dynasties.

There are many famous families in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the famous academies established by each family are the foundation of Shilin.

A celebrity, with a word, can influence the world, and an academy can cultivate scholars, and it can create the three kingdoms.

This is the power of a powerful family.

With the implementation of the imperial examination, the further sinking and popularization of knowledge, the disappearance of the soil of the aristocratic family, followed by an increasingly large group of scholars brought by each imperial examination.

And these people, based on the interests of officialdom, academies, etc., have formed today's Shilin.

Studying the sages' books for decades, no matter whether it is to achieve fame or to waste time, it is clear that the thoughts of the sages' books must be deeply rooted.

If it is said that once the dynasty changes, this deep-rooted thinking will be changed, and it will also be mixed with martial arts and strange skills that the scholars want to despise!

Even if the Son of Heaven borrows Confucian legal principles to endorse and disguise, but... no matter what, it involves the elite group of the whole world, involving millions of scholars, and how can people's hearts be controlled?

Those who are willing to accept have already studied new studies in the official schools of various colleges in Daheng.

There are also those who are unwilling to accept it, a small number of guardians, or people with unyielding integrity, who regard Daheng as a monster, which drives most scholars.

The emperor has nothing to do, after all, no matter how much he cleans, it is impossible to kill all the scholars who resist, let alone interrupt the integrity of the scholars with his own hands.

What the Son of Heaven chooses is to win over a very small number of people who are willing to cooperate, slowly influence those who resist, and then change the whole world.

But this is undoubtedly too slow, and this process, under the resistance of the vast majority of people, will also have great variables.

From the school inspector education in Shuntian Prefecture, but now, it is still around the capital. For several years, although it seems to be progressing smoothly, in fact, even the people in the court who are quite critical of this education reform are not there. few.

Not to mention the civil servants of the whole world, as well as the unknown number of scholars in the scholastic community.

This is where the greatest resistance lies in the reform of education and talent selection.

And this volume of information clearly records the trend of public opinion in the capital and around the world this year.

In the past, those who advocated the reform of imperial education were almost all Jinyiwei Wenxuansi and the Kong family who were held up by the emperor with a knife. However, with the increasing pressure on civil servants and gentry this year, the capital and the world are slowly Other winds of public opinion emerged.

This point is also most obvious after the cabinet listed the new learning as the content of the imperial examination examination, customized it and officially announced it to the world.

Clearly, in the face of what was almost another blow to the civil gentry, someone was beginning to compromise.

The emperor smiled happily, but the coldness in his eyes was still deeply rooted.

He has never underestimated the inertia of thought. In history, many people cling to the unprecedented changes in the future generations and refuse to change.

Not to mention, the fortune of the country is prosperous now, and it conquers the world.

The emperor picked up a file from the side of the table, and slowly flipped through it. The book recorded densely packed names and official positions.

And these people are all officials in the court, and even in the officialdom of Daheng, who oppose the education reform. The emperor ordered Jin Yiwei to count them out.

There are tens of thousands of officials in Daheng, and it is impossible for Jinyiwei to count them all. What is recorded in the file is also aimed at the officials of one party and the officials of the local provincial government.

Although the Son of Heaven is arbitrary, he never minds opposition to the strategies he intends to implement.

All the policies implemented in these years are the same. During the preparation stage, the court will discuss and discuss, and if there are opinions, they will be put forward and discussed and resolved.

During the trial, if there is a problem, or if there is a problem with a certain policy, if it is suitable, the emperor never minds to adopt it.

These years, no matter which major national policy it is, it is the same!

The emperor has always been good at giving advice and suggestions, and even objecting with reason and evidence.

Just like the fiscal, taxation and land reform, the current fiscal, taxation and land system, compared with the one-size-fits-all trial in Liao Province, has eased a lot after repeated discussions and advice.

But if you object without thinking, just for the sake of opposition, for the prejudice against new learning, for the persistence of Wengui, the emperor cannot tolerate it!

And the role of this roster lies in this.

It is also impossible for Daheng to exclude the entire world's elite groups across the board, but in the officialdom, if he is eating, smashing bowls, or doing too much, the emperor will never mind letting him know what policy iron fist is!

Whether it is to suppress and never be promoted, or to find a reason to go to prison and be assigned, it is easy.

To win over a group and to suppress a group is the same for scholars in Shilin, and the emperor also acts in the same way in officialdom.

Now, it is obvious that someone has compromised, which means that there will be more and more people who can win over and unite, which is naturally a good thing.

Uniting the majority is the correct way of doing things.

The pen of the emperor, circled the names one by one on the roster, and the first to bear the brunt was naturally Liu Qiyuan, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

It's just that, the recent change in wind direction, obviously, Liu Qiyuan's credit is indispensable, and it can be regarded as Liu Qiyuan's sincerity.

The emperor is naturally quite satisfied with this sincerity.

Some of the original arrangements for him can also be changed.

Its age is high, and when it is available, it can perfectly undertake the buffering function of the replacement of the old and the new.

When it perfectly completes the historical role of the alternation of old and new, the emperor is not stingy with some false names, or in other words, the false names pursued by literati.

The strokes of the pen are written on and off the file, and every stroke of the strokes is doomed to the fate of a certain official and even the interests behind him.

In today's founding era, the difficulty of a policy is not the decision, nor the implementation, but how to carry it out.

A policy to transform the thinking of scholars requires scholars to implement it, which is difficult to achieve.

Therefore, this policy is also the only policy that requires the emperor to supervise at all times to win over division and suppress.

As for other policies, whether it is fiscal and tax reforms, land reforms, or the Municipal Bureau of Shipping, there are those with vested interests or those who have lost interests to implement and supervise them. a little.

Only with this education, there are too few vested interests, and too many losers.

This is also destined to be an extremely long-term thing. Before the new generation of scholars grow up and become supporters and defenders of new ideas, they need strong power to support them...

……

Chapter 651 Everything is in Dongcheng District of the capital.

One year, in this unpredictable turmoil, passed in a flash, and the sixth year of Zhaowu seemed to be at the end of the year.

As in previous years, the political chaos, under the suppression of the powerful, still has little impact on the common people.

Since the unification of the world, the capital city, which has developed rapidly, has completely entered an unprecedented peak period after the convergence of the north and the south.

According to the statistics of the land population in the third year of Zhaowu, the population of the capital has reached more than [-] people, which is several times higher than the population of Liao Province in that year.

And now, at the end of the sixth year of Zhaowu, according to the statistics of the household registration yellow book of the Ministry of Households, the current capital has increased by nearly 20 people in just three years.

These naturally benefited from the imperial government's policy support for business and the changes to the household registration system in the former Ming Dynasty.

The support of commercial policies naturally drives the flow of population, and there are not a few business travelers running all over the world.
