I'm a big dick

Chapter 501

There are too many managements, the yamen is too big, but all kinds of work are unsatisfactory.But if you continue to mix like this, it will save you worry and effort.

But the emperor was not satisfied with this, he had a long-term plan to gradually build a brand new Ming Dynasty.Instead of sewing and tinkering, be a papermaker who maintains the status quo regardless of the future.

The authority and self-confidence brought by Ping Liao, the tone of the emperor's speech, and the momentum displayed are indeed very different from the past, and the important officials are also aware of it.

In a few years, not only important ministers, but even ordinary courtiers can figure out some of the emperor's temperament and ideological characteristics through the emperor's imperial decree, newspapers issued, and personnel changes.

Now that the important ministers have been convened for a formal discussion, it can be seen that the emperor's mind has been decided, and the policy may be slightly adjusted, but it cannot be changed at all.

Sun Chengzong is also aware of his temperament as a student. Over the past few years, he has become more and more assertive.But it’s not enough if you don’t accept it, the method may be cruel, but the actual effect is indeed beyond reproach.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Chengzong felt that he had also fulfilled his duty as a courtier.Since the emperor has confidence in finances and Ping Liao is in sight of victory, he will not say more.

What's more, Li Qiyuan, the former minister of the household department, resigned due to illness, and the emperor took advantage of the fact that there was no chief official in the household department to carry out reforms. It was indeed the time with the least resistance and the easiest time.

Sun Chengzong also knew that he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, would also be dismissed and joined the cabinet, and Yuan Keli, who was also a cabinet minister, could be said to be a reward after Ping Liao, and went further to become the elder and minister of the cabinet.

This is already the highest title, which fully demonstrates the emperor's trust.Sun Chengzong didn't want to be too stubborn and embarrass the emperor.

The emperor's respect for himself is one thing, but if you rely on it to be proud, it will start from prosperity to decline.

"Tao Qing." Seeing that the courtiers had no objections, the emperor called Tao Langxian, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and said, "The Ministry of Households is subdivided, and the officials must be selected. This matter will be handled by the Ministry of Officials."

"Long live Qi Zuo." Tao Lang stepped forward and said: "It coincides with next year's imperial examination to select scholars, and I think I can choose capable officials from them."

The emperor pondered for a while, as if he had little hope for the new Jinshi, he said: "The imperial examination can be used to select talents, and the transfer of officials to officials also has practical advantages. It should be a combination of the two. Tao Qing should handle it as appropriate."

Tao Lang bowed first to receive the order, and retreated.

It's no secret that the emperor had some opinions about imperial examinations.There is some preference for officials who started from the grassroots.

Moreover, for many scholars, the emperor also has opinions.Of course, it is reasonable to use economics as the criterion for selecting talents and appointing officials.

Several important ministers in the palace knew that this was the emperor's principle, so don't violate it easily.

I have persuaded and advised them before, but the scholars who were severely punished are indeed unbearable; some officials who entered the official position through the imperial examination are indeed incompetent;

Most importantly, the emperor had a sense of propriety and did not abolish the imperial examinations, but left a way for scholars.

"The pacification of Liaodong, although this is a major event, but the establishment of slaves and rebellion for more than ten years, the court spent tens of millions, and millions of deaths, this lesson is not insignificant."

The emperor's expression was serious, and his loud voice echoed in the hall, "The external enemy is not to be feared, but the internal troubles. I have clarified what an internal trouble is in the past few years, but it is far from enough to completely eliminate the disadvantages."

"If you slack off because of the victory in Ping-Liao, think that the world is peaceful, continue to follow the old ways and don't think about making progress, the lessons are not far away, and you will repeat the same mistakes in ten or ten years."

"Today's reform is not only for us, but also for our descendants, so that Ming Dynasty can stand proudly in the world and prosper forever. Dynasties change, cycles, and the thousand-year history have enough warnings. Isn't it enough for us to learn lessons? "

"Prosperity is booming, and death is sudden. Taizu founded the country, Chengzu opened up, and the civil fortress almost perished. Northern Mongolia often invaded, built slaves, rebelled against the Ming and slaughtered people. How dare such a Ming Dynasty call the world peaceful? Call it a great country?"

"Hongzhi Zhongxing and Longqing New Deal are just decades of improvement. The root cause of the disease has not been cured, and it will be difficult to recover. Since the 14th year of Wanli, there have been constant party disputes in the court, corruption is prevalent, civil officials are greedy for money, and military commanders are afraid of death..."

The emperor's face darkened, showing that he was really angry.

That is the truth, beyond doubt.All the ministers bowed to listen to the training, their hearts were awe-inspiring.

Don't shy away from it, don't hide it, just tell the truth, which is moving.

Although a lot of things happened, I didn't realize the problem.But definitely be vigilant, don't think that small disadvantages are okay.Don't think that the Great Ming's territory is tens of thousands of miles, and its people are billions of people, so it can stand the toss.

"Things are changing and changing is appropriate! The ancient sages have this wisdom, how can we cling to the old and stick to the old? What ancestral system, what the law, all have to change with the times. Only by keeping the great Ming Dynasty well can the ancestors be satisfied..."

The emperor finally stopped. Although his mouth was a little dry, he didn't hold his glass. He glanced at the officials and said in a deep voice: "All the ministers are the elites of the Ming Dynasty, and they are my shares. I hope that the emperor and the ministers will work together to build a strong and prosperous Ming Empire forever. Future generations will enjoy peace and happiness forever."

After speaking, the emperor made a gesture, and Wang Tiqian immediately shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Retire!"

Watching the young emperor relax slightly tiredly, all the ministers bowed and saluted, and exited the hall with complicated emotions.

Wang Tiqian bowed to hold the tea, and said: "The emperor's hadith is sobering, but if you have a conscience, you will remember it and never forget it."

The emperor took a sip from his teacup, and said flatly: "If you have a bad conscience, you should call it a conscience. If everyone in the world has a conscience, I don't have to be so earnest, worrying so much."

"Yes, yes, the emperor corrected it very well, it's because the slaves are not well educated." Wang Tiqian bowed to be taught, humility was a complete mess.

The emperor glanced at Wang Tigan and couldn't help but laugh.Although the slaves are extremely respectful, they are obedient in everything, and they all want to do everything by themselves, but it is not what I want.

"My lord, His Royal Highness Xin Wang and the descendants of King Tang are still waiting in the side hall." Wang Tiqian said: "If your lord is tired, let them leave and call them into the palace at another day."

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "There's no need to change the day, let them see you!"

Not long enough, the letter king Zhu Youjian and Tang Wang's grandson Zhu Yujian entered the hall to pay their respects.

"Waiting for courtesy." Zhu Youxiao smiled on his face, and his tone was gentle, "I have been out for a year, but I look a lot stronger, and my temperament is also different."

"Brother Huang's eyes are like torches." Xin Wang Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "I only feel that I have grown taller, but I don't know whether it is strong or not."

Zhu Yujian bowed and said: "I feel that I have a lot of food, and I don't feel pain in my feet and legs after walking a lot."

The emperor laughed, stretched out his hand to signal the palace servants to move to Xiudun, and said, "Xuanzhao is not for official business, I just want to hear what you have seen outside. Staying in this palace is really boring and boring."
