I am the king of the dead

Zhu Qiyu nodded, Hu Wei was a veteran of the Six Dynasties, what Zhu Qiyu was worried about, Hu Wei could tell from his words.

And it's not hard to guess His Majesty's mind.

Although the emperor issued an imperial decree not to allow local yamen to demolish official factories, how to monitor that such things do not happen is the most important thing.

Hu Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said: "Actually, the word "supervision" is actually very difficult to put it simply, and it is actually very simple to say it is difficult."

He Zhang seemed to be drinking tea casually, but his ears moved a little. Obviously, He Zhang smelled it, and this evergreen tree, Hu Yan, was about to shake something hard again.

Hu Wei continued: "I used to inspect the place for more than ten years during the Yongle period. When I arrived at the place, if it was greeted and sent to me, it was business-like. There is probably no problem here."

"If these people look obsequious when they arrive at the place, eating and drinking, singing and dancing, then there is basically a problem. You can send Tiqi to visit."

"If you go to a place, it's official business on the surface, but some entrainment is sent in private. The thicker the entrainment, the bigger the problem, and you should report it to the emperor for strict investigation."

"If you don't welcome, don't see, don't send, rude, don't entrain, if you ask for a little bit of investigation, you will be in danger of life. You should report to the emperor to prevent the people from rioting."

"Is there any problem with this place? If you can't pass the test, you can tell by looking at the thickness of the entrainment."

"All the profits in the world come and go, and everyone can follow this method."

Your Majesty has never lived in the bubble of the kingdom of God on earth, let alone the bubble of the Datong world compiled by literati. Under the bureaucratic rule of the country, this kind of human relationship is the norm, and so is gift-giving.

A Ming court that is completely free from corruption and human relations is the Kingdom of God on Earth, the world of Great Harmony.

The essence of anti-corruption and arresting corruption is the governance of officials, and what is needed is the cleanliness of officials.

If you give less, it is basically a human relationship. If you want it or not, you will not give it again; if you give it too much, it will drag you into the water.

When Li Binyan was the governor of Shandong, he refused to join forces with others, and even put local officials together, and almost died in the post station outside the Yanzhou government.

Holding the teacup, He Zhang seemed a little sluggish. Although he knew that Hu Min was immoral, but being able to use entrainment in the word "supervision" was really extremely immoral!

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a while, and could only say that Hu Mian was worthy of being a minister of the Ministry of Rites for 40 years from the Yongle period, and he was cunning and scheming.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but think of later generations. At that time, the school's canteen was contracted and there were a lot of tricks. Although it was unpalatable, nothing happened.

Later, the brother-in-law who was replaced by the principal directly caused a major incident of food poisoning of a hundred students, and the brother-in-law and the principal were directly imprisoned.

Really the thicker the entrainment, the bigger the problem.

He Zhang's face turned green and pale, and finally he could only sigh, Jiang was still hot, he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the inspector censor of the governor's place should be awarded the rank of capital censor, directly to the heaven."

If it is awarded to the capital censor, it will be managed by the capital procuratorate. If it is awarded to the capital censor, it will be equal to He Zhang, the left capital censor, and naturally it will not be under the jurisdiction of the inspector censor.

The governor system of the Ming Dynasty, the official rank, for example, when Yu Qian was the governor in the local area, he was the right servant of the military department of the third-rank Beijing official; God, it is also the right servant of the Ministry of household; Yao Kui, the governor of Yungui, is the right servant of the Ministry of rites.

All local governors are uniformly awarded the official ranks of the three ranks of capital censor Beijing, which is to determine the rank, set it as a routine, directly belong to the imperial court, and go directly to Tianting, so as to prevent the old affairs of Jiujiang Mansion from happening.

"What does Hu Shangshu think?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Wei and asked.

Hu Wei nodded and said: "I think it's good, Zongxian He discussed it with me before."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian again, and asked quite solemnly: "What does Yu Shaobao think?"

Yu Qian has 25 years of experience as governor of the local area. Yu Qian has a great say in this aspect, and Yu Qian is very good at the system of the country, and Yu Qian's opinions are also very important.

Yu Qian thought very seriously for a long time before he said, "I think it's good."

"Emperor Wen once sent 26 people to patrol the world to appease the army and the people. In the fifth year of Xuande, the first emperor sent six people, including ministers, to inspect the provinces, supervise the taxation and local affairs related to the taxation, supervise the taxation, relieve the hungry, and appease the people. , more often hang the rank of servant, also known as the governor's servant."

"The governor's minister, each holds a rescue book and does his own thing. The government has many branches and many things are stagnant. It is easy to change to a constitutional post, and he can be the governor's capital censor."

Confirmation of rights, determination of products, and form are the only way to become a law. Yu Qian agreed with He Zhang's memorial.

In particular, the capital officials are all appointed and dismissed by His Majesty, and the governor, Yushi, is also appointed by His Majesty to leave the town, which is conducive to the stability of the Ming Dynasty. Some important places, such as Yingtian, Songjiang, Liangguang, Jiaozhi and other places, still use Your Majesty's confidants are appropriate.

If the local Fang Bo is not a member of His Majesty, and His Majesty makes another southern tour, is it possible that he will have to face the greetings of strong crossbows, firecrackers, and armor again?

Yu Qian continued: "Firstly, we should set up a support platform to open the government and build a government office, and not work together with the chief envoy; secondly, family members should not accompany them and stay in the capital; thirdly, return to Beijing every three years to report on their duties, and transfer to other places or If you stay in Beijing, you should not stay in the place forever, and the longest should not exceed nine years."

What is a governor?

If it is converted to the Tang Dynasty, it is a Jiedushi without the right to deploy troops, and a feudal official with administrative, admiral military affairs, supervision, and judicial powers.

If the time exceeds nine years, or even longer, the governor is no longer a Beijing official, not a confidant of His Majesty, but a local vassal.

He Zhang looked left and right, anxious.A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. He wanted to find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write it down, lest he forget something.

Xing'an took two steps away, asked Zhongshu Sheren to copy a copy of Yu Shaobao's words just now, and handed him a somewhat anxious congratulatory note.

Only then did He Zhang feel relieved, and put the note in his sleeve quite carefully, and felt at ease.

Zhu Qiyu looked at He Zhang's empty right hand, and said with emotion: "Then organize it into a memorial and send it to the court for discussion. If the courtiers have no objections, let's make it."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say today." Hu Min said seriously after seeing that His Majesty had finished handling the affairs of state.

Chapter 792 Seeing the Dragon in the Field, the Civilization of the World

Hu Wei stayed here specifically to fulfill his vocation as a master, to be responsible for debating scriptures and explaining some issues. He also stayed for a purpose, and wanted to share some of his thoughts with His Majesty.

He is old, and he has seldom managed the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. Most of them are teaching the emperor's heirs, especially the prince Zhu Jiancheng. He is planning to retire. Before leaving, he wants to say goodbye to His Majesty.

It's just that Hu Wei, who takes protecting etiquette and law as his own responsibility and has fought for it all his life, his retirement and farewell are different.

"Your Majesty, civilization will perish, and the civilization named Rome has already perished." Hu Wei talked about a very broad and broad issue, about civilization, quite solemnly.

This made everyone present sit upright.

"What is civilization, see the dragon in the field, and the world is civilized." Hu Wei first explained the meaning of civilization.

The Canglong Qisu in the East Palace, Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Kei are collectively called the Dragon Star.

Every spring, the Qisulong star rises from the horizon of the field, which is called seeing the dragon in the field, and in summer, the Qisulong star moves to the mid-heaven, which is called the flying dragon in the sky.

In autumn, the Qisu dragon star sinks to the horizon, which is called Kanglong Yougui, and in winter, the Qisu dragon star sinks below the horizon, which is called Qianlong Wuyong.

This is the philosophy of the four seasons of the pre-Qin period, which is a unique romance of looking up at the starry sky.

Seeing a dragon in the field means spring, high-spirited vitality, and the beginning of all things.

Civilization is opposed to barbarism. Civilization is a collection of all social and natural behaviors of a certain group of human beings that get rid of barbarism, including family ethics, production tools, language, writing, belief, religion, law, and country construction, etc. .

Zhu Qiyu could understand the word "civilization" that Hu Wei said, and quietly waited for Hu Wei to continue.

Hu Wei paused, and continued: "Taixi seems to be a mess, but it is actually very simple. The Romans conquered everywhere, conquered cities, established a vast country, and then the pirates on the northern islands began to go south."

"These northern pirates plundered and occupied the land, multiplied and multiplied. They were mainly divided into three groups according to their tribes, the Franks, the Anglo-Saxons, and the Germans."

"For example, on the island of England to the north of Taixi, the Romans drove out the indigenous Celts, and then a pirate tribe named Anglo-Saxon took advantage of the weakness of Rome to occupy the island of England and established a tribe under the name of the tribe. Kingdom of England."

Zhu Qiyu was quite surprised and asked: "Franks, Anglo-Saxons and Germans are the same ancestor? Are they all pirates on the northern islands?"

Hu Wei said with great conviction: "Yes, Your Majesty, all the messy countries in Thailand and the West are actually from barbarian pirates."

"For example, the ancestors of the Duchy of Normandy were Saxons. Of course, Tessie prefers to call them Vikings, and Vikings are no different from Franks, Anglo-Saxons, or Germans."

"The establishment of the Duchy of Normandy was when the pirates occupied Normandy, forced the King of France to recognize the Duchy of Normandy, and found a place to live for their poor relatives."

"The Earl of Anjou, a handsome man from the Duchy of Normandy, married the daughter of King Henry I of England, and gave birth to Henry II, who inherited the throne of England and the territory of the Duchy of Normandy."

"So far, England and France have waged a century-long war for the ownership of the Duchy of Normandy. When the Roman envoy Nicolaus set off, England and France had just ended the war."

"These robbers from the north destroyed the Roman Empire, the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire successively. They absorbed the Roman culture and took it as their own. They took away the Roman characters and modified them a little, and they became the language of the robbers. Then, They started to define Rome."

"The civilization called Rome is destroyed."

At this time, the Middle Ages was in absolute darkness, under the dark sky, with nothing to rely on, and even the gods could not be their sustenance. The descendants of the robbers in Taixi yearned for the glory and prosperity of Rome, and started a cultural movement of worshiping ancient times. , known as the Renaissance.

The code name given to Eastern Rome by history is Byzantium.

The day when Fatih took Constantinople was the day when the Middle Ages in Tessian history ended.

When Rome disappeared, the definition of the Holy Roman Empire, which was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire, replaced the meaning of Rome itself.

Hu Wei said solemnly: "Your Majesty, civilization will perish. The Chinese civilization has a long history and has a long history. Since the three generations of enlightenment, the Chinese civilization has demonstrated its strong resilience, inclusiveness and assimilation."

"But this kind of resilience is not unbreakable, this kind of tolerance is not unchangeable, and this kind of assimilation will also cause confusion. This process is painful."

When Hu Wei said this, he paused for a moment. He thought that His Majesty or others would refute him. At this time, Da Ming was full of vitality and everything was bursting out. Da Ming, who had just stepped out of the winter sequence, was full of high spirits and passion.

At this time, it is somewhat inappropriate and alarmist to discuss the decline and fall of civilization.

However, Zhu Qiyu understood Hu's worry very well, because this kind of severance of civilization happened once, that is, there is no China after Yashan, which was talked about by the Japanese Hino family all day long.

The weakness of the military in the Song and Song Dynasties plunged Chinese civilization into a century of darkness until Zhu Yuanzhang announced the establishment of the Ming Dynasty in Yingtianfu.

Zhu Qiyu leaned forward and asked very sincerely: "Hu Shangshu thinks, what should Ming do to avoid becoming a sinner in Chinese history?"

Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian once said that the Ming Dynasty is going to perish after all, and if you get more good families, it will only last for a few more years.

After Zhu Qiyu heard about it, he agreed with it very much. He himself couldn't help the ministers of the Ming Dynasty scolding him as the king of subjugation. Naturally, why and how the country was subjugated are also within the scope of discussion.

Just as no one can live forever, no dynasty can last forever.

How to avoid the Ming Dynasty, not a sinner in Chinese history, has become a topic that can be discussed.

Hu Wei looked around, and the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have gotten used to such a political atmosphere thoughtfully, and discussed this issue as something that might happen.

He said with a smile: "How to keep civilization from becoming extinct, I think there are only two points. The first is the ethnic group, and the second is to reform the old."

"The ethnic group is the carrier of everything. Without a huge ethnic group, no matter how brilliant the culture is, it will eventually become a shooting star across the sky for people to recall."

"Renewing the old and reforming the past is constantly looking back at the past, admitting imperfections, admitting defects, making up for mistakes, improving defects, and constantly eliminating ourselves, in order to hope that civilization will last forever."

Hu Wei summed up the two reasons for the demise of Rome, one is not having children, the ethnic group weakened rapidly, and eventually lost the carrier of civilization, and was occupied by the barbarian Li Daitao;

The other is not to admit mistakes and defects, and eventually miss the opportunity to correct mistakes, the more mistakes the more afraid, and finally be plagued by tedious diseases and disappear in the long river of history.

"Hu Shangshu's words are reasonable." Zhu Qiyu agrees with Hu Min's remarks. Ming Dynasty can perish, but China cannot.

How to do it?

In short, it is to have more children to occupy more land, and to have more children to occupy more land, and so on.

In addition to having children, it is to reform the past and reform the new.

Zhu Qiyu said to everyone: "I found that as long as the word change is involved, it will definitely touch the interests of some people. It is impossible to do things without touching anyone's interests."

"Sometimes, some people don't want to do sinner's things, they are afraid of being hated, and they often don't want to offend anyone, but offend everyone."

"If you don't want to offend people, just be an insignificant person. Only an insignificant person will not be hated. When you are divided and eaten, you can't even resist, because resistance is also hated."

"If you want to do something, the knife goes down, and if you see blood, you have to continue, because this is a matter of life and death."

"This is the so-called: Kindness does not govern soldiers and gentleness does not govern, kindness does not serve as an official and does not establish prestige, benevolence does not do business and righteousness does not accumulate wealth."

The Ming Dynasty Zong in history was definitely a good man, he didn't want to offend anyone, and in the end, he offended everyone, even his son, wife, and ministers who supported him were not able to keep.

Hu Yi bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is wise, if this is the case, I will have no regrets. I am old and decayed. I beg for the bones to support my life."

Lai has been in this position for so many years, and Daming finally forges ahead on the road to being great again. Hu Wei is finally willing to let go of the power in his hands.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and shook his head and said: "The Ministry of Rites can be put aside, and the Eastern Palace has to rely on Hu Shangshu."

Hu Yi bowed his head and said: "It's only natural, I can still walk, so naturally I won't slack off."

After Wang Zhi became an official and handed over the affairs of the official department to Wang Ao, he did not leave Beijing. Instead, he still lived in the official residence and served as the prince's junior teacher, responsible for teaching the heirs of the Tai'an Palace.

Hu Wei's resignation is to get rid of the political officials and affairs officials, but not completely from the political center. Once there is a change in the government and needs to be sprinkled and washed, Hu can still come out to deal with emergencies.

"Who does Hu Shangshu think is suitable for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites?" Zhu Qiyu asked the candidates for the Ministry of Rites again. Zhu Qiyu preferred Liu Ji. In terms of etiquette, it is still very trustworthy.

The only problem is that Liu Ji is too young and not qualified enough.

Hu Wei took out two memorials from his sleeve and said: "Xiao Tun, the left governor of Huguang, No. 1 in the second class in the second year of Xuande. Suitable candidates."

"Yao Kui, the censor of the governor's capital of Yunnan, can return to Beijing to be the assistant of Xiao Min."

Zhu Qiyu knew something about the two of them, Yao Kui naturally needless to say, last year, Yao Kui counselor Qian Guogong Mu Lin military affairs, went to Jiaozhi, participated in the battle of Annan in the county, his resume was impeccable.

But this Xiao Xun, besides being honest and honest, is only a human being. He is 20 years younger than Hu Shangshu, but his body is weak. Xiao Xun may even walk ahead of Hu Xun.

Do you love power?Why did Lian Quan want to become an official?

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and suddenly realized that the real candidate for the Minister of Rites recommended by Hu Wei was not Xiao Jun, but Yao Kui, but Yao Kui had never served as a Beijing official and was not familiar with things in Beijing, so Yao Kui was given a period of learning and adaptation. time.

After reading these two memorials, Zhu Qiyu asked, "What about Liu Ji, who was cultivated by Hu Shangshu with all his heart? What are you doing?"

Hu Wei thought for a while and said: "It is more appropriate to go to Liaodong to be the military affairs counselor of Liaodong, Fan Guang."

No place to practice, but still want to do six books?If you don't have enough experience, that means you don't have enough hard conditions, so go to Liaodong to suffer a little bit, and then you can better serve your majesty when you come back.

"Then take it to the court for discussion." Zhu Qiyu handed the memorial to Yu Qian. Yu Qian is the head of all the officials. The appointment of the new Minister of Rites and the court's push are more appropriate because Qian presides over it.

Zhu Qiyu chatted with several courtiers about government affairs, and then ended the performance.
