Chapter 179: Law of Officials

Zhu Qizhen's attitude towards Li Bing is actually somewhat perfunctory.

In fact, from the perspective of the audience sequence, Li Bing is in front of Liu Ding, but Liu Dingzhi has privileges as the first assistant, no matter how many people line up behind.

He has the power to go beyond these and see the emperor directly.

Of course, only if the emperor wants to see him.

Sometimes, though, there are exceptions.

If it is other important ministers, such as cabinet scholars, several noble princes, and scholars. In the performance, Liu Dingzhi will not deliberately cross them.

After all, they also have to get along with each other.

Just tell Wynne to say it, and it's up to Wynne to arrange.

Now this situation shows Huaien's perfunctory attitude towards Li Bing, and it is self-evident whose attitude Huaien adheres to.

Zhu Qizhen has no personal preferences for Li Bing, but only has different political views.

Jingcha has been closed.

Li Bing came to report the results of the Jingcha this time.

Zhu Qizhen listened to it while reviewing the recital.

Li Bingbi said respectfully, how many people were denounced, how many people were punished, how many things were discovered, and so on. I don't know if Zhu Qizhen listened to it in his heart.

But as soon as Li Bing's voice fell, Zhu Qizhen said to Hui Huaien: "Chang Guogong has been in poor health recently, you go to see on my behalf, and Chang Guogong's juniors are outside, only let him return to his hometown if he is not in the Western Regions." ”

Yang Hong is not older than Shi Heng.

Now that he is in his seventies, and when the generals were young, they inevitably had to do their best.

Many times, things such as climbing ice and lying in the snow, fighting again with intestines, and carrying a hundred sores are all reckless when they are young. When people get old, they will find their upper bodies one by one.

Changguo Gong Yang Hong can live to be more than 70 years old, which is actually very good.

Most of the generals who were contemporaries of Yang Hong were buried in the ground.

Liu Pu was no longer there a few years ago.

Shi Heng's death seems to have opened the prelude to the renewal of orthodox nobles. Compared to the suddenness of Shi Heng's death, everyone was caught off guard.

Yang Hong's illness has been lingering for a long time.

The meeting after Shi Heng's death was also the last time Yang Hong spoke on major military issues. After that, he was at home all year round.

After dragging on for such a long time, the pulse case passed by the imperial doctor is already very bad. implicitly said that Yang Hong is just staying up for a long time, and he has no skills to return to heaven.

As for how long it can last, it depends on the specific situation.

Maybe it won't be there right away, maybe it will last a month or two.

Zhu Qizhen sighed, and immediately asked Huai Endai to take a look for himself, after all, Yang Hong is also one of the three generals of Zhu Qizhen. is so sick, Zhu Qizhen always has to say something.

In order to avoid suspicion, Yang Hong sent all the capable children in the family outside.

For example, Yang Xin, who is now sitting in Longcheng, this time in the battle of the Western Regions, Yang Xin also sent an army to participate, but he himself did not participate.

His valued grandson, Yang Zhen, is the general of the Ming garrison in Kyoto, Japan.

As for the children of the rest of the families who have not made a weapon, they are all over the Ming army. This is called the Shomon.

The Shi family, the Yang family, the Zhang family, the Cao family, the Shi family, the Jiang family, the Guo family and other orthodox nobles all showed such a trend. Although Zhu Qizhen doesn't like it too much.

But this is also a historical necessity.

Even if there is martial arts, it does not prevent this.

For these families, even if it is a concubine, they can graduate from martial arts. That is, in martial arts, the noble faction corresponding to the Hanmen faction.

Zhu Qizhen had no intention of making any major adjustments in the army. Time will take care of the rest.

Yang Hong is the first person in the army. His illness was originally related to the affairs of the imperial court.

If it weren't for Zhu Qizhen as the emperor to visit the courtiers, almost all of them could only go to see when the courtiers were dying, otherwise they would have forced the courtiers to die.

Zhu Qizhen wanted to go and see it, and expressed his closeness to the Yang family.

Wynne immediately agreed, saying, "Yes." ”

Zhu Qizhen turned his head and said, "Do you have anything else?" ”

Zhu Qizhen already knew about what Li Bing had reported.

After all, in the entire Jingcha group, Zhu Qizhen has too much eyeliner.

Zhu Qizhen has never trusted Li Bing. Naturally, use your own methods to find the answer.

Zhu Qizhen's attitude made Li Bing extremely embarrassed.

Li Bing had an urge to walk away, but this impulse was quickly suppressed by him. Because he knew it was his last chance.

Li Bing said: "There is one more thing to do. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Speak." ”

Li Bing immediately said: "On the orders of Your Majesty, the Law on Officials was formulated, and now it has been completed, please preview it." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he couldn't react for a while, and said secretly in his heart: "When did I let him formulate the law on officials?" ”

After all, Zhu Qizhen didn't have Alzheimer's disease, and after a while, he reacted, and he remembered what he said politely.

He immediately understood Li Bing's thoughts in his heart. Secretly said: "You can climb along the pole." ”

For a while, he weighed in his heart whether to accept Li Bing's surrender. But after a while, he decided to take a look at Li Bing's official law.

Even in order to implement the new law, no matter how many times Zhu Qizhen is cleaned, there will still be some people who were originally opposed.

It's inevitable.

After all, Zhu Qizhen's new law is essentially related to Emperor Taizu's ancestral system.

As the founder of the Ming Empire, even if Emperor Taizu has been gone for so many years, his thoughts are still an invisible mountain of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Zhu Qizhen uses strong suppression, it is impossible for some people to change their minds.

After all, as soon as a person is over 30 years old, his thoughts are generally fixed.

Most people can't change much.

But it is impossible for Zhu Qizhen not to use such a person. Therefore, it is natural to punish the former and the latter, treat the disease and save people, as long as he is willing to use it for me, Zhu Qizhen will naturally let it go.

It is also a good choice to erect someone who was once opposed and now has support for the New Deal.

But the premise of all this is that Li Bing is worthy of Zhu Qizhen to do this. If it's not worth it, it's a different story.

Zhu Qizhen opened Li Bing's official hair, and he just began to look at it casually, but the more he looked at the divine light in his eyes, the clearer he became, and his attitude became more and more formal.

How so?

Li Bing's law of officials put forward a concept, that is, the second official.

What is the second official, it is the opposite of the main hall official.

The main hall official is the number one, no matter which yamen is the same, there is only one main hall official.

But the second official is not a deputy, to be precise, he is an official.

That is, his subordinate officials. Or rather, a deputy.

For example, at the county level, the county order is the main hall official, the county officer, the chief officer, and everything else is the second official.

As I said before, there are no specific regulations for officials below the county order, they are all set up for things, generally speaking, in a county in Daming, there are only a few officials, and there are more than a dozen, and the others are all officials.

Li Bing pointed out in the Law on Officials that if the local county order directly manages the officials, it cannot be managed, and the number of officials should be increased, and the number of officials and officials should be completed.

His proposal was mainly local.

The more Zhu Qizhen looked at it, the more he felt that it made sense.

In fact, the chief officials in all parts of the Ming Dynasty don't like the second official, the reason is too simple. Even if you are the first leader now, do you like the second-in-command and the third-in-command?

For the chief officer, giving power to these officials, it is impossible for the officials to occupy the power, and it is a matter of one sentence to take it back.

But if the power is divided among the second officials.

Then there is a possibility that it will be hollowed out.

If you want to regain power, you will have to fight.

However, if you want to improve administrative efficiency, it is also a very right thing to increase the number of assistants, after all, many things have to be taken care of.

Think about it, a county's official affairs, water conservancy, taxation, education, case handling, construction, public security, post station, and even Shangguan passing by to usher in. and so on. How can a county order be done?

The establishment of the second official was to deal with such a situation, and it was also a kind of decentralization of power to the localities.

And there is a very good point among them, that is, the additional Zuo II officials are not officials, but officials.

What's in it for you?

People have always had a natural sense of contempt for officials, even if Zhu Qizhen reformed the officials, but this deep-rooted impression cannot fade in a year or two.
