Chapter 632 Your Majesty, you are for the whole world (two in one)(1/2)
One day shortly after the fifth prince Zhu Cizhuo left Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao received the "Commentary on Not to Excessive Interference in Political Affairs of the Seventh Prince Zhu Cixuan."
The memorial lists many disadvantages of excessive interference in politics by the royal family.
Of course, the royal family here naturally includes the general concept of the royal family.
At this time, Zhu Ciluo suddenly submitted this memorial, and naturally expressed his dissatisfaction with the emperor's sudden reuse of the second prince Zhu Cican and the fifth prince Zhu Cizhuo.
After seeing this memorial, Zhu Youxiao naturally guessed the true thoughts of the Seventh Prince.
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince has not been given a heavy use after he reigned the kingdom for the eldest son. Instead, it is the second prince and the fifth prince who have been given a heavy use. I am unfair."
Liu Hongxun also saw the purpose of this memorial on Zhu Ciluo, and therefore said, intending to remind Zhu Youxiao that you indeed seemed to have forgotten the eldest son of the emperor who had been supervising the country for more than a year.
"Yuan Fu's words are reasonable, but I didn't expect that the Seventh Prince would dare to speak for the eldest son of the emperor."
At this time, Sun Chuanting smiled and said, "The implication is to remind Zhu Youxiao that maybe the seventh son of the emperor himself was not valued and complained. Even if he often acted under the banner of supporting the eldest son as the crown prince, it is difficult to guarantee that the drunkard would not be the drunkard.
No matter what, Zhu Ciluo's superficial thoughts and real thoughts were clearly seen in front of these scheming assistant ministers around Zhu Youxiao.
Wen Tiren naturally saw it, but he knew better about His Majesty the Emperor's mind, and said at this moment: "Your Majesty, it is rare that His Highness the Seventh Prince has such courage to speak out, which can also make him more effort for the court."
As a person from later generations, Zhu Youxiao also learned a lot about various throne-fightings from ancient times to the present and in China and abroad.
So Zhu Youxiao also understood what his seventh son suddenly submitted this memorial.
But Zhu Youxiao did have the idea of reusing Zhu Cixuan for this reason.
Of course, it is not because Zhu Youxiao really wants to see Zhu Cixuan do this, but because he needs to use such behavior to cover up and confuse others, and at the same time achieve his own goal of not being able to sue others.
"I am just thinking that, since he is right, he will transfer him back to Beijing and serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and try to make suggestions on further reform of the official system."
Zhu Youxiao said this at this time.
In the Ming Dynasty, the administrative system has been reformed. Censors of all subjects no longer discuss politics or supervise various departments. They only have the obligation to mediate cross-departmental affairs of each department.
Zhu Youxiao believes that he cannot restrict his work when thinking about a department.
Supervision can only be to supervise whether a person is honest or dereliction of duty, rather than supervising whether everything a department does can be implemented.
Because the latter's supervision is no longer considered supervision, but is equivalent to the department in charge and reviewing the department.
This is also the reason why the censors in the Six-Chi Corps in the history of the Ming Dynasty were extremely powerful. What each department should do, the Six-Chi Corps can review and reject it.
Zhu Youxiao was well aware of the importance of clear powers of the central government.
He remembered that the reason why the first reform carried out by Zhang Juzheng in history was to pass the examination and clarify the powers of each department through the examination and to control the powers of the six departments. The most important thing is to control the power of the six departments and prevent the six departments from causing trouble.
Because the six disciplines are really a mess in the Ming Dynasty political system, and everything they want to do will be constrained by the six disciplines.
This also deceived the Ming Dynasty's national destiny many times.
In history, even during the Chongzhen period, when Li Zicheng was approaching Beijing, when Chongzhen discussed moving south, the proposal to move the capital was terminated because of the opposition of the six-sector censor Guang Shiheng.
Of course, there were various factors that Chongzhen failed to move the capital successfully.
But it is undeniable that the six departments that do not do things but have great power, that is, they are not officials of the Six Ministry, but have the final decision-making power for the Six Ministry’s government affairs, play a certain role in it.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, in fact, the power of the various departments of the Ming Dynasty did not need to be supervised.
Because there is already a Censorate responsible for supervising officials from various departments, and an exclusive emperor's East Factory.
What each department really needs is mediation.
Because many major policies involve multiple departments in cooperation, this requires special agencies from each department to mediate and cooperate, which is conducive to the implementation of government orders.
Now Zhu Youxiao has asked all subjects to assume this function, no longer acting as a messenger, but only as a blender.
Therefore, censors of various subjects are no longer considered censors, but mediation officials.
Officials from each department will go to other departments to communicate and coordinate according to the needs of the department.
Moreover, officials from all departments are young officials who have just entered the officialdom.
Doing more to mediate conflicts between departments and running errands everywhere is conducive to improving their administrative capabilities.
Instead of being shot, being a messenger, being the main force of party struggles, and becoming a victim of party struggles.
Many censors in history have to be said to have very hard bones, so they dare to speak out even if they are killed by a stick.
If this tough will does not become a victim of party struggles, but is used first to familiarize yourself with the government affairs of various ministries, it can be a reformist in the future who dares to play the cake of vested interest groups.
It is precisely because of this that the censors of various subjects are now relatively quiet. Because they have no time to bet, even if they are not, they are no longer about the emperor or the boss of their own department. Instead, the censors of various subjects represent the interests of various departments and frantically bet during the discussions, while the officials of various departments make more reasonable drafts of government orders based on their disputes.
In fact, this also echoes the interests of young officials' careers.
Before this, the reason why the Six Cases were not reformed in this way was naturally because the interest groups behind them were unwilling to change in this way.
After all, once this is changed, interest groups will not be able to use young officials as guns, instigating some extreme and interests to their own young officials as vanguards, and thus achieving certain political goals without risk is the most wanted method for all the big bosses in the court.
However, this does not mean that the officials of each department are no longer important.
Because the power of the officials of each department is to mediate various departments, it has been clearly stated that they were trained as cabinet ministers, auxiliary ministers or Privy ministers.
According to the current selection system stipulated by Zhu Youjiao, the officials of each subject must be officials of the Hanlin Academy before this, and then they must be trained at the Daming Administrative Academy.
I asked to stay in the Hanlin Academy because the Hanlin Academy has all the confidential archives and documents of the entire empire.
If you need to train in the administrative school, you must have the basic official belief required by Zhu Youzhai.
Only after these two are satisfied can you become officials of various departments and will be sent to local officials in the future.
Of course, there are also people who first go to the local government to serve as officials, then transfer back to the Hanlin Academy, then to the Executive Yuan, and then to the Sixth Department.
In short, now that the seventh prince Zhu Ciluo has been transferred to Beijing as the clerk of the Left Officer, it undoubtedly reveals that Zhu Youxiao wants to reuse Zhu Ciluo.
Zhu Ciluo made a frustration for himself in the name of opposing the royal family's interference in politics.
However, Zhu Youxiao asked him, the prince, to participate in more political affairs, and even be reused for this.
This is undoubtedly Zhu Youxiao was testing Zhu Cixuan, wanting to see that his son was practicing the morals he advocated at this time, that is, the royal family should not interfere in politics, and it is still very pleasant to go to Beijing to serve as the Left Secretary of the Office.
"The father was not angry, but wanted to reuse me!"
After receiving Zhu Youxiao's order, Zhu Ciluo was overjoyed.
Chen Wei smiled faintly, and was also very surprised by Zhu Youxiao's behavior: "After all, it's Your Majesty, you always don't play according to common sense."
Zhu Cixuan hurriedly asked, "Do you think my father admires me very much and appreciates my courage to speak out?"
"I don't know!"
Chen Wei replied, and said, "But in the opinion of the following, your highness would be better to submit a memorial to refuse this position."
Zhu Cifeng was shocked after hearing this: "Why is this?"
"Your Highness, I ask you, do you want to be an official or an emperor?"
Chen Wei asked.
"How do you say this?"
Zhu Ci asked.
"Your Highness wants to be an official, do things in a solid manner, be careful in being a human being. With your highness, you don't have to worry about not being able to be a high-ranking official. Now that Your Majesty allows the royal family to engage in some government affairs, if Your Highness wants to be an emperor, even if Your Highness becomes the greatest official at this time, as long as you are not the crown prince in the future, you will still lose!"
Chen Wei said, "Your Highness just wrote a memorial to say that the royal family should not interfere in excessive politics. Although he intended to express dissatisfaction with the second prince and the fifth prince being valued by His Majesty, he was also expressing that the royal family should not interfere in excessive politics. Now he has directly entered Beijing to take important positions. Wouldn't it be a different story and fallen into laughing stock? He was then despised by His Majesty."
Zhu Ciluo also hesitated after hearing this.
But the appointment of the Left Secretary of the Official Department is indeed very pleasant to him.
This is a temptation that he couldn't resist.
But Zhu Cihui also felt that Chen Wei’s words were reasonable.
People cannot slap themselves in the face immediately.
That will make you feel no credibility.
"Your Highness, the letter from the eldest prince was sent by telegram."
At this time, the closest servant next to Zhu Cihui came and handed the telegram to Zhu Cihui.
"Seventh brother, my father ordered you to be the minister of the official department to be the minister. Brother Yu thought that there was something wrong with me, which was not conducive to my trust in the world. Brother Yu decided to advise my father to take back this order. I also need to refute my own words to show sincerity. We, the children of the royal family, may have no power, but cannot be trustworthy, otherwise it will inevitably make the world despise my royal family."
Zhu Ciwei told this in the letter.
After hearing this, Zhu Cihui couldn't help but get angry and tore the telegram to pieces: "Who does he think he is?! Do you really think he is the emperor in the future?! He actually wrote a letter to me not be this official, and he also insisted on asking his father to advise him. He wouldn't really think that I always admire him because I really support him. Could it be that he doesn't want to see me and have the opportunity to compete with him!"
"Your Highness, you need to calm down now."
Chen Wei replied.
"I can't calm down! I finally wanted to use me, why should he stop me?!"
Zhu Cihuai replied.
"But Your Highness, the eldest son, is right, this is about your credibility."
Chen Wei replied.
"The eldest son of the emperor, the eldest son of the emperor, why do you all like to emphasize his identity as the eldest son? If he hadn't cooperated at the beginning, Kashima wouldn't have happened!"
Zhu Cilang roared hysterically.
