Prince of Chaos

Chapter 254
After listening to Emperor Wanli talking about Fang Shoushi, Zhu Changluo's little head couldn't help turning.

If, according to the normal historical process, Fang Shoushi's next job change should be the Shanxi chief envoy, the chief envoy is actually not a small official in the official class of the Ming Dynasty.

Except for some governors who are not permanent, the chief envoy is already considered a big official in Xinjiang.

However, in the deformed political system of the Ming Dynasty, although the chief envoys served as local officials of the frontier, their rank was always lower than that of the six ministers, and they were only regarded as second-rank officials.

Don't look at it just a little shorter than Liubu, in fact, it is not so short in essence.

In the Ming Dynasty, local officials wanted to be promoted to the central government, but it was a bit difficult.

For this kind of practical officials who are capable of managing the local area, they were not very popular in the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty.

Because, the reason why they became great officials in the frontiers was because their backgrounds were half a head shorter than the Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy.

Therefore, they have been going around in circles on the principle of promotion.

It is impossible to be like those good officials who are well-educated and from the same age, they can always complete the leapfrog promotion in the "most important" position of education.

Just like Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister who saved the time, there is no denying that he is talented and wise.

However, he wanted a flaw in the officialdom that Zhu Changluo thought was fatal. Of course, this flaw was not Zhang Juzheng's extravagance and lust when he was in charge of the country.

In fact, this kind of extravagant and licentious behavior was unavoidable in ancient officialdom culture.

Just like Mr. Xu Jie and Xu Ge who overthrew the corrupt Yan Song, who would have thought that the wealth of such a respected pillar of the country is even greater than that of Yan Song!
Even the upright Hai Rui Hai Gangfeng couldn't really hurt his family when he was law enforcement in Nanjing.Therefore, arrogance, extravagance and lust are not sins at all in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo would not naively think that this is Zhang Juzheng's shortcoming, it is the shortcoming of this era!

The deficiency of Zhang Juzheng that Zhu Changluo thinks is Zhang Juzheng's working experience.

Zhang Juzheng has been in a hurry for more than fifty years, and he has indeed created a new atmosphere for Ming Dynasty. This is undeniable. Even in today's Wanli Dynasty, although Zhang Juzheng is taboo, some credits cannot be ignored.

After all, the passing of geese leaves traces, and there are some things that Emperor Wanli can't erase if he wants to.

Zhang Juzheng's shortcoming is that he has never had the experience of governing states and counties.

Although one of his whips changed the tax situation of Daming to a certain extent, it did not change the plight of the people at the bottom in essence.

Therefore, the limitations of his reforms are still very large.

For such a situation, Zhu Changluo is determined to change. He wants to break the unspoken rules of officialdom that he cannot join the cabinet unless he is a Hanlin.

He wants to come out with an official promotion and assessment system based on ability alone, rather than the current one based on family background.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo thought for a long time, and also thought about Sun Chengzong's potential.

Zhu Changluo finally decided that he still wanted to make a suggestion to Emperor Wanli.

Zhu Changluo said to Emperor Wanli: "Father, my son does not know Fang Shoushi's character. However, since father also mentioned his achievements, my son will naturally pay attention. Judging from Fang Shoushi's resume , He is indeed a rare talent. So, since the father asked the son what he meant, the son thinks that we should give him a real hard bone, a real good The position allows him to play to his ability."

When Emperor Wanli heard Zhu Changluo's words, he nodded involuntarily, "You are right, then what good position can you see that has a hard bone for him to gnaw on?"

Zhu Changluo thought for a while, and then said: "I think the position of Shuntian Fuyi is very suitable for him."

"Shuntian Prefecture Yi?"

Emperor Wanli was a little unexpected. He really didn't expect Zhu Changluo to tell him about this official position.

Shuntian Mansion is the state capital directly in charge of 24 counties near Beijing, and because it is the first yamen under the emperor's feet, its responsibilities are not so simple.

First of all, let alone the situation of the various counties under its jurisdiction, the complexity of the various relationships in Beijing alone will test the official's ability to handle affairs.

If it's a friendly one, that's the way it is naturally.If you really want to start a career, you may have to face unexplainable pressure from all parties.

After all, the strength behind these Beijing officials should not be underestimated, and those nobles who have retired from the country are also not easy to mess with.

Therefore, this position also made Emperor Wanli think for a while.

After listening to Emperor Wanli's doubts, Zhu Changluo said: "Yes, Father. It is Shuntianfuyi. Shuntianfu is the first yamen under the emperor's feet. It is self-evident that the responsibility is heavy, and the grade of Shuntianfuyi is also right The official position of the third rank is a small promotion for Fang Shoushi, a Yulin soldier guard. It also shows the greatness of the emperor's grace. The reason why the minister recommended this official position is because of Fang Shou The ability to deal with affairs since the sergeant became an official. That's why I remembered this position and recommended it to him, let him bring some new changes and new atmosphere to Beijing as the parent official of the capital."

After hearing this, Emperor Wanli nodded in approval, "That makes sense. Originally, I planned to let him be promoted to Shanxi's chief envoy. Now, after hearing what you said, it is indeed a mistake to ask Fang Shoushi to stay in the capital to serve as Shuntian Fuyi." Good choice."

Zhu Changluo replied immediately: "Father is holy."

Emperor Wanli immediately said: "Tomorrow, I will invent a decree for Fang Shoushi to take over the post of Shuntian Fu Yi, and the former Shun Tian Fu Yi will be transferred to be the Minister of the Household Department."

Hearing the will of Emperor Wanli, Zhu Changluo was overjoyed. If Fang Shoushi could stay in the capital, then Sun Chengzong would definitely stay in the capital.

As long as he can stay in the capital, Zhu Changluo is confident that he will have countless ways to keep Sun Chengzong in his hands.

After all, he is already a prince now, and he is not the kind of prince who can't say anything.

Although he is not as powerful as the first prince Zhu Biao and Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, his current prince's gold content and voice have surpassed all the princes before the Ming Dynasty.

In this regard, Zhu Changluo still has this confidence.

After pushing Emperor Wanli back, Zhu Changluo happily returned to Ciqing Palace.After all, if this matter is done, it will still be very helpful to Zhu Changluo's next plan.

Zhu Changluo really needs talents too much now.

Now that he has shown kindness to others, in this era of the ancients where kindness must be repaid, he has a great possibility of gaining the loyalty of Fang Shoushi.

After returning, Zhu Changluo immediately said to Wei Zhongxian: "You go and send someone to tell Mr. Dong, let him go to Fang Shoushi tonight, and ask Mr. Dong to congratulate Fang Shoushi in advance on taking over Shuntian Fuyi, remember to be sure." I want to tell the credit for the palace."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Zhu Changluo, he bowed his head and said, "I'll do it right now, slave."

Zhu Changluo said: "Go."

Then, Zhu Changluo casually flipped through the cards and chose Liu Lian to serve him tonight.

　Shuai Guo felt extremely guilty after three days of interruption.

　　Without further ado, here is the first chapter!
