Chapter 992: Imperial History
After Luo Zhaoyun asked Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji and others to retreat, it was already noon, and he had been busy with court meetings and deliberations since the morning, and his stomach was also a little hungry.
Zhong Dequan, the chief eunuch, bowed forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch, should you go back to the palace, or go to the queen's palace to eat?" ”
Luo Zhaoyun glanced at the piles of folds on the table with dragon patterns and gold trim, and shook his head with a wry smile, the imperial court is in ruins, most of them have just been established, and many of the charters are drafted, they need to be reviewed and approved by him, and then they will be reviewed by the Ministry of Menxia, and if there are no major mistakes, they will be sent out clearly.
"Let's bring the food here, after I have a simple meal, I will batch some more of the folds, and I will send them tomorrow, so that it will not be conducive to the development of the new deal."
"Whoa." Zhong Dequan bowed down and told the eunuch to bring His Majesty's meal.
Suddenly, there were six dishes on the table, some cooked and stewed, and after the inspector first tested it with a silver needle, he selected a little bit of each one, and let the two little eunuchs take it first, and only after there was nothing to do, could he let His Majesty take it.
Although the world is about to be stable, and the hostile forces are gradually disintegrated and eliminated, the emperor's meal, various inspection procedures are indispensable, and prevention is better than prevention.
Just halfway through the meal, a eunuch came in to make a report, and the imperial historian Wei asked for an audience.
"Wei Zheng is here?"
Luo Zhaoyun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help chuckling, every time this Wei Zheng enters the palace, he must have something to play, he is not only a minister, but also has a upright personality, and he can't rub sand in his eyes.
"Let Master Wei come in and see me."
The eunuch "snorted", turned around and went out, and in an instant, Wei Zheng wore court clothes, walked into the imperial study, and saw His Majesty eating, kneeling and bowing.
"Wei Qing, seeing that you are dressed in court clothes, you haven't gone back to the house to eat, right?"
Wei Zheng arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, after the ministers disbanded the meeting, I walked around the Imperial History Terrace on Huangcheng Street to see if there were any urgent official duties and advices, and found one thing, the noble officials of the gate valve have been in close contact with each other recently, and there seem to be signs of re-forming the party, especially after the announcement of the new imperial examination system today, whether it is the aristocratic officials or the Hanlin scholars, they all have a tendency to hold together, please Your Majesty can be vigilant as soon as possible." ”
"Friends?" Luo Zhaoyun's expression sank, and he also hated his friends, because the historical records are very clear that the decline and demise of many dynasties are due to party disputes.
For example, the disaster of the party in the Eastern Han Dynasty was the struggle between the eunuch group and the civil servant group, and finally the eunuch won, almost killing many righteous civil servants in the imperial court, and finally Dong Zhuo led the troops into the palace in the name of eradicating the eunuchs, and then coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
In the late Tang Dynasty, there was a "Niu Li Party Dispute", which was also very fierce, and the "Niu Party" referred to the bureaucracy headed by Niu Monks and Li Zongmin; "Li Party" refers to the bureaucratic clique headed by Li Deyu. Most of the Niu Party were born in the imperial examination, belonged to the landlords of the Shu nationality, and had a humble background, and they relied on the cold window to study hard to obtain the Jinshi and obtain official positions. Most of the Li Dang were born in big families and had prominent families, and they often relied on the high-ranking official status of their fathers and ancestors to enter the officialdom, which was called "Menyin" origin.
On the surface, the Niu-Li party struggle seems to be a power struggle between the Shu bureaucrats and the Shi bureaucrats, but in fact the two parties also have deep political differences. One of the main points of disagreement between the two parties is the way to select bureaucrats. The Niu Party was born in many imperial examinations and advocated that scholars should be selected through the imperial examinations; Li Dang was born in many shades and advocated that the shades of the doors should be in office. This situation is somewhat similar to the current starting situation of Dahua, which has attracted Luo Zhaoyun's attention.
In addition, the old and new party disputes in the Song Dynasty were a party struggle caused by the implementation of Wang Anshi's new policy during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. The new party supports the new policy, the old party opposes the new policy, although the new policy is in line with the disadvantages of the times, but the old ministers in the court and the central government strongly oppose it, the reasons are very complicated, many historical celebrities of the Northern Song Dynasty are involved, and later, it is no longer whether the content of the reform itself is beneficial to the court and the people, so that the party struggle is only reduced to a struggle of will, and finally the dynasty is sluggish, and the political style is getting worse, and the Northern Song Dynasty is out of control, and finally destroyed by the Jin people, which is by no means a temporary level of force and superiority and inferiority.
The party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty was also fierce, from the Wanli Emperor when the party struggle officially emerged, when the court of many parties stood side by side, there were Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, Qin Party, Qi Party, Donglin Party, after the establishment of the prince to fight for the country, the Donglin Party quickly integrated other political parties, one party dominated, and the eunuchs fought for decades, and poured against each other, until Chongzhen ascended the throne to get rid of Wei Zhongxian, but still could not solve the problem of the Donglin Party itself, plus natural disasters and disasters, was destroyed by a small number of troops in the Houjin.
Luo Zhaoyun took a deep breath, he was very clear about these party struggles, and he was not very worried about having lessons from the past, or knowing the trajectory of the millennium in history, and knowing how to make trade-offs and control.
For the time being, in order to break the intertwined forces and relationships of the gate lords and nobles, it is necessary to enable the scholars of the poor family and the children of the squires from all over the country, and the only fair way for the imperial examination is not wrong, the key is how to control it, in the imperial examination, the chief examiner, the chief examiner, and the leaders of the clear stream, how to gather these scholars from the poor family, form their own party and protégés, so that the party is the same and different, and affects the political situation of the imperial court.
"I will continue to pay attention to this matter, the three divisions of your Imperial History Observatory, the Taiwan Academy, the Imperial Palace, and the Procuratorate can add some more manpower, and you can also select a few Jinshi from the imperial examination to enhance their strength, and the supervision organs are needed at any time, as long as they are not untargeted, chasing after the wind and shadows, and pretending to be public and private, this department is an important means for the imperial court to maintain clarity!"
"I understand."
Luo Zhaoyun said again: "Of course, I will also add a piece to your Imperial History Observatory, pay attention to evidence in everything, form a chain of evidence, real name and evidence, and cannot fabricate charges casually, in case the Imperial History Supervision Agency, after expanding its authority, there will be that kind of ministers, cool ministers, netting charges, and framing Zhongliang at will." ”
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and felt that His Majesty was reasonable, and he really did not think about this aspect thoroughly.
"After the minister returns, he should draw up procedures and regulations in this regard as soon as possible, according to which ways and means, what evidence to obtain, and how to admonish and supervise hundreds of officials."
Luo Zhaoyun said: "That's fine." Come on, accompany me to eat for a while, look at your appearance as a dusty servant, and there is no meal, just so that we will have a banquet together. ”
"This, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and the minister is afraid that it is inappropriate!" Wei Zheng bent over and refused.
Luo Zhaoyun knew the great use of Wei Zheng, so he deliberately won people's hearts, and said with a smile: "Renjun and famous ministers, naturally there are many examples of eating at the same table, we don't have to stick to the form, after accompanying me to eat, you will go out of the palace to work." ”
"The minister was disrespectful, and thanked His Majesty for the gift." Wei Zheng got up, sat down nervously, and really accompanied Luo Zhaoyun to have lunch.
