My country is dead again [Rebirth]

After discussing with the cabinet, Xie Ruzhuo did go to Shishan Pavilion, because Du Ruo was there today.

Xie Ruzhuo has been studying Xie Mingting's homework for a while, and he has memorized the books well recently, and the classics and meanings are also well-spoken. He has read a few newly written articles, although he feels that they are much worse than those written at his age. , but compared with the former Xie Mingting, it has really improved a lot, and the writing is quite correct.

"That's right." Xie Ruzhuo rubbed his head, "You go to the shooting range first and let the horse inspector teach you how to ride a horse. Master Du and I have something to talk about, and I'll go find you after we finish."

Xie Mingting smiled happily when he was praised. As long as he is praised a few times for reading, he will feel a sense of accomplishment, and seeing his rapid progress is also a wonderful pleasure. He just feels like he is going to fly into the sky with pride. Trying to put on an appearance of abiding by etiquette, when he walked out the door, his footsteps were actually floating.

Xie Ruzhuo shook his head with a smile, invited Du Ruo to sit down, and said, "Have you heard of Mr. Sun Bingde's new policy?"

"I heard some rumors before that if your majesty is talking about the new policy to curb corruption in the six ministries, in fact Yuan Weng had this idea two years ago, or a little earlier." Du Ruo said, "It's just that in the past The timing is not right, the late Emperor would not have put his mind on this kind of matter, and he has been busy with many trivial matters since he came to Lezhou, now that everything is generally stable, it is time to raise it."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded to express his understanding: "It's not easy for Sun Bingde."

"What does Your Majesty think about this matter?" Du Ruo sighed softly, "Do you want to agree or refuse?"

"To be honest, the original intention of this new policy is very good, and I also think it is an excellent way to curb corruption, but because it looks too perfect, it makes people worry more." Xie Ruzhuo frowned slightly, rather worried "There is no such easy thing in the world. If the corruption that has been banned for thousands of years is completely wiped out because of such a new policy, it sounds ridiculous."

"Your Majesty understands what your majesty means. No matter what the court does, there is no absolute right thing to do, let alone perfection. Sometimes it looks one thing on the surface, but it is another thing to actually do it." "Du Ruo took Xie Ruzhuo's memorabilia, and quickly read the detailed content written by Sun Bingde, "Yuan Weng's new policy seems to be impeccable, but it may not be as easy to implement as expected. When the amount is advanced, the six departments will report how much it is. At least we have no place to verify it. Although there are six departments in the process of supervision, it is not completely impossible. Even according to my observation, the six departments should have a way of making false accounts, and the six departments are not in the middle of the matter. Mr. accountant, how can we see all the clues, corruption will still exist in the end, it will only appear to be effective on the surface."

I have to say that Du Ruo saw this matter very thoroughly. The disadvantages he mentioned were the problems that were exposed later in his previous life. I have worked hard, and anyway, this is a method that will have some results. After implementation, there will definitely be less corruption problems than now, but I agree, and I have to face the problem that the result can only be half achieved. In the future, there will be ways to make up for the backlog of shortcomings.

Besides, Sun Bingde is not entirely out of public interest, Xie Ruzhuo said: "This move is actually Sun Bingde's power in his stable hands. The cabinet's control over the six ministries is not tight enough. Once the new policy is pushed, no matter what happened before, the power of the six ministries will definitely be in the future. It is within the scope of the cabinet's control, and six departments were pulled in the middle as a cover to make it sound grand."

Du Ruo obviously understood the key point, and said helplessly: "Yuan Weng never does anything that is not beneficial to him. If it is really just to fight corruption, I can't believe it."

That's what I said, but this matter is too complicated, Xie Ruzhuo said worriedly: "Then according to what Mister sees, should I agree to Yuan Weng's implementation of this new policy?"

Du Ruo closed Sun Bingde's memorandum, put it back to Xie Ruzhuo's hand, and said: "Forgive me, it is better for Your Majesty to agree. If you don't agree to this matter, no matter how you look at it, Your Majesty will suffer a lot, unless His Majesty can better curb corruption." The only way is to keep people from talking about it. Moreover, Yuan Weng has been planning this matter for many years, and it must be achieved. If His Majesty refuses to agree for a while, he will make some noise to persecute His Majesty. At that time, there will be another scuffle in the court. There is still less than half a month before the army will go out, and there should be no disturbances in the capital, Your Majesty should be careful and considerate."

"To be honest, what you say is similar to what I think in my heart." Xie Ruzhuo tapped a corner of the notebook with his fingertips, "Forget it, after all, this new policy has many benefits. As for Sun Bingde's selfishness, this kind of control does not happen overnight. It can be achieved." As he said that, he became lazy and said leisurely, "When he grasps the power, it may be the day when he leaves the court."

Du Ruo wanted to laugh a little, but felt that it wasn't very good. He coughed lightly and said, "It's good that your Majesty can think so. The disadvantages of the New Deal are actually controllable. Don't worry too much. To combat corruption, there are always new methods. As long as you put your heart into it, it will always be better than before.”

"Mr. is right." Xie Ruzhuo relaxed a little bit, "After the Beijing inspection, a group of scholars from the Imperial Academy went to the six divisions. They should all be acquainted with you before. You can make more friends with these people. It's a good thing for Mr.

Du Ruo knew that Xie Ruzhuo was plotting for him, just as Sun Bingde worried, if these people form a faction with him, a new faction will appear in the court. This is a bad thing for Sun Bingde, but it is actually a good thing for him .

At least he didn’t have to rely on Xie Ruzhuo to deal with the turmoil of being framed by Zouben before and visiting Shan. A person’s strength is destined to be weak. This is why people in the court always want to form cliques. In fact, many times This is also a last resort. Multiple people speaking for themselves is one more way out, and when you have a group of people behind you, it means that you can be fearless.

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty." Du Ruo was silent for a while, then sighed, "Earlier, the minister was still angrily denouncing the evils of the party struggle in front of Yuan Weng, but in the end I still have to get involved."

"There is no way to do this. Where there is power, there are fights. There are factional disputes in the court, and the same is true within the royal family. Even a family fights with each other for power." Xie Ruzhuo comforted him, "Actually Sir, you can be more open-minded. Since we have no way to avoid it, we should minimize the disadvantages of party disputes, at least not to drain the anger of the court like before. Besides, from another perspective, sometimes party disputes are not only bad, there is no place for fighting Is it necessarily a good thing? I don’t think so. There is a struggle, which means that there will be checks and balances, and the family will not dominate. This is actually a good thing for the court. Throughout the ages, everyone has been talking about checks and balances? So, We can’t kill partisanship with one stick.”

Du Ruo also told Sun Bingde at the beginning that he admitted that party struggles cannot be eradicated, it just depends on the timing, Dayu is in a precarious time, and civil servants are divided into factions and busy fighting, which is tantamount to continuing to drain Dayu's vitality.

Party disputes are possible, but they cannot be uncontrollable. Party disputes in the court should be checked and balanced invisibly, instead of being filled with party disputes everywhere in the court, like a cloud of cloud covering the entire country.

Du Ruo nodded slowly: "I understand that I will have a lot of contact with the officials who are new to the sixth department."

"Mister also mentioned the reopening of the Imperial College before, and I think it's time to think about it." Xie Ruzhuo knew that Du Ruozhuo was not a high-spirited and overly stubborn civil servant. His ideals were actually the same as Sun Bingde's. He had to sacrifice a lot to govern the country and the world. The morality that should be adhered to makes him drift with the tide occasionally, so as long as he agrees, Xie Ruzhuo doesn't need to worry, and then said, "Although Sun Bingde probably won't agree, there will be new scholars entering the court after the opening of the Imperial College, he There is no guarantee that everyone will follow him, after all, Mr. is also famous, and many young scholars will target Mr. "

Seeing that Du Ruo was a little silent, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help urging him: "So tell me quickly, how about the reopening of the Imperial College?"

His Majesty is really like a child sometimes, but he is indeed not yet an adult. Du Ruo came back to his senses, lowered his head and smiled, and said: "Indeed, it is almost time to consider. We did not have a firm foothold in Lezhou before, but now Suifang is solid. , Hengchuan has taken back half of it, and it will go south again this year. If there is no accident, the whole Hengchuan can be taken back. However, this matter should not be too fast. Now you can do some preliminary preparations. When the army returns early next year, Hengchuan All of them have been taken back, and if we proceed formally, then the resistance should be less.”

Xie Ruzhuo nodded, and said again: "By the way, Sun Bingde also mentioned the matter of replacing the admirals of the three battalions. It seems that he can't sit still anymore. Apart from Han Zhen, do you have any other candidates?"

"Your Majesty understands what His Majesty thinks, and supports His Majesty in doing so. It is difficult for Dayu to find a military general who can stand alone in the future. It is also because the imperial court does not trust military generals, and they let civilian officials dominate military generals in everything. If things go on like this, no one is willing to fight for the country. "Du Ruo restrained his smile and said seriously, "But I have to say, this is not the time yet, Your Majesty must give in temporarily."

Just as Xie Ruzhuo relaxed a little, his mood went down again. He was so irritable that he even forgot to say: "I really don't want Han Zhen to go. I can choose to give in even if Sun Bingde goes in person."

Unexpectedly, Xie Ruzhuo disliked Han Zhen so much, Du Ruo was a little dumbfounded, thought for a while, and said: "How about this, Your Majesty promised Yuan Weng to carry out the New Deal, and Yuan Weng will decide how to push it. Your Majesty will not intervene. Use this as a condition to change someone else." Admiral's three battalions."

The solution is feasible, but the difficulty is that they have no one to choose. Xie Ruzhuo frowned and said: "Sir, I must know who I like, and Sun Bingde will definitely not agree. It might cause even more trouble."

Xie Ruzhuo really doesn't need to guess who he likes, the general who has worked so hard to cultivate is not Shen Ci, who else, but let alone Shen Ci's current level is not enough, aside from these false things, Sun Bingde will definitely not agree.Shen Ci was already a little sensitive between Xie Ruzhuo and the civil servants. Everyone would not say anything when fighting for Dayu. Xie Ruzhuo wanted to train him and win him over, but he could understand and tolerate it, but it was not so easy to talk about when it really touched the interests of civil servants. up.

Xie Ruzhuo, the rest of the three major battalions, were not satisfied, and neither were the civil servants. Apart from that, they could only consider the eunuchs, but if He Xiaoman was allowed to go, the civil servants would still be furious.

Du Ruo pondered and said: "I still suggest that Your Majesty should consider choosing the three battalions of the Admiral Dapeng, which is easier to accept than generals. It may be feasible not to choose the governor, but another person."

The palace gate was about to be locked, Xie Ruzhuo did not keep Du Ruo any longer, went to the riding range to practice riding and archery with Xie Mingting, and had dinner again, He Xiaoman, who had disappeared for a day, finally appeared.

He Xiaoman very tactfully kept silent about what happened last night, as if Shen Ci had never been in the palace, Xie Ruzhuo was very moved, and made up his mind not to mention the difficult things about him and Song Qinglai in the future, everyone tacitly agreed, very good good.

"Companion, I talked to my husband about the candidates for the three major battalions of admirals." In order to thank He Xiaoman for his tacit understanding, Xie Ruzhuo pushed He Xiaoman's delicate kidney bean roll tonight, reluctantly giving up his love and eating two yuan less , "Sir, I don't think you can let the general go, but I will accompany you, Sun Bingde and the others will definitely disagree. Do you think there are other candidates?"

If you can't let the generals go, that is to suggest eunuchs, but Xie Ruzhuo would not say the word eunuch in front of him. He Xiaoman thought about it seriously, and said: "How about the Queen Mother? Compared with Your Majesty, Sun Bingde should be more Can accept the Queen Mother's intervention. Like Lin Fen?"

"Lin Fen..." Xie Ruzhuo curled his lips, his expression obviously dissatisfied, "Although the queen mother has no intention of really taking power, she and Wu Xianrong are still allies. Letting the queen mother's people to admiral the three battalions is not the same as Wu Xianrong Wu Xianying is already in the [-] Battalion, another one would be too much."

That's what he said, but He Xiaoman knew that Xie Ruzhuo didn't want anyone from other forces to get involved in the final analysis, and wanted to keep the three major battalions in his hands as much as possible, so whether it was Sun Bingde, the queen mother, or Wu Xianrong, there is no difference, they are all the same kind of people - not their own people.

And the reason why Du Ruo still suggested Xie Ruzhuo to let the eunuch go was because the emperor was more willing to trust the eunuch than foreign officials, He Xiaoman shook his head and said: "I can't think of anyone else who is suitable."

Xie Ruzhuo was also a little worried, the 24 yamen in the inner court were nothing more than the Si Li Jian and the Yuma Jian, the Yuma Jian was in charge of the military talisman and had many connections with the Ministry of War, so it would not be appropriate to admiral the three battalions.

"Inspector of Ceremonies...I think of someone." Xie Ruzhuo had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and hurriedly said, "How is Wang Chen?"

"Wang Chen?" He Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and realized that he had indeed ignored this person, "I didn't think of this for a while."

Supervisor Bingbi is already an extremely enviable position, not to mention that there has always been one of Bingbi who can supervise the East Factory, but the real boss of the Supervisor of Rites is not Bingbi, the person in charge of the Twelve Supervisors is called Zhangyin Eunuch, so there is also this palm print eunuch in the Lijian.

This position is not something that everyone can sit and dare to sit in. To be able to climb to the position of the most powerful person in the Twelve Prisons, the No. He three points.

And this Wang Chen is the current eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies. He is the late emperor's companion, and he has a very good relationship with the late emperor. Listen, but Wang Chen can often listen to the two words of persuasion from the former emperor.Moreover, Wang Chen was very cautious in his work, he was not seen much in the court, and he rarely intervened in the affairs of the inner court, and only did what he should do in his own position.Therefore, when the late emperor was there, both the inner court and the outer court respected him quite a lot. Everyone in the inner court respectfully called him "Old Ancestor" when they saw him. No one can move.

But now the reason why He Xiaoman didn't think of him for a while was because after Xie Ruzhuo came to the throne, even though he was still in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, he was even more indifferent than before. Neither the inner court nor the outer court heard his name anymore. The memorials that had been approved by the Supervisor of Rituals were presented to him, and he quickly stamped them and asked his disciples to send them back. He never pressed a copy of the memorial, nor said anything to any of the memorials.

Over time, both the inner court and the outer court gradually forgot about this person, and the supervisor of ceremonies is also used to going through the motions every day, just sending the memorial to a place that needs to be sealed. Forget that the square seal Wang Chen is holding is something that every eunuch covets, and it is a power that even the cabinet can't wait to grab.

He Xiaoman frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the king's palm has been sealed since the first emperor's day, and he has been living in seclusion and not asking about any trivial matters. In addition, he is already old, so he intends to spend his old age peacefully. I'm afraid he doesn't want to go to the third Daying is in this muddy water."

The author has something to say: *The most powerful eunuch in the Ming Dynasty was the boss, called "Old Ancestor"

Be forewarned, the next three chapters are from the perspective of He Xiaoman, about 9000 words long, including the content of the sub-cp, which can be regarded as an explanation for the sub-cp, the kind of explanation that develops into a bed partner relationship, you can jump if you don’t like it.
