Chapter 234 Your Majesty, I have a way to improve the administration of officials!
A smile flashed in Jiajing's eyes.

This Hai Gangfeng is a wonderful person.

Although he is just a juren, if he is pleasing to the eye if he comes to Beijing this time.

You can keep it in Beijing.

Judging from the personality of Hai Gangfeng and Hai Bijia, there will probably be countless fun things to see in the capital by then.

Old Taoist priest, are you really not afraid of being scolded to death?

Yan Shaoting, however, looked at the old Taoist priest behind the pearl curtain with an expression that seemed to be enjoying a good show.

He was not afraid of backfiring himself and being irritated by Hai Tietou's scolding in advance.

Still too young.

I don’t know how strong Hai Tietou’s fighting ability is.

But at this time, Lu Fang had already gone to the imperial desk and began to write the imperial edict with a red brush.

Gao Gong was silent for a while, his mind wandering.

After several considerations.

At this moment, the emperor summoned Hai Rui to the capital.

He was still talking about the petition to the emperor about the government's governance.

Gao Gong's eyes flickered, and he finally bowed, clasped his hands, and slowly stood up.

"His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I request that you initiate a rectification of the government in this dynasty in response to Hai Rui's petition to the emperor!"

"Hai Rui's memorial, which is nearly 10,000 words long, expresses his deep feelings about the corruption in the government. It is a true insight. Especially with the Miyun tragedy today, we can see that if the government is not clean, the people will suffer, and if the world is not peaceful, the government will be in trouble."

"Now the court is already unable to tolerate the corruption of officials. All officials today have petitioned Your Majesty to severely punish the Shuntian prefect. This also shows that all officials in the court have reached a conclusion on the issue of corruption."

"I have been in the cabinet and in charge of government affairs for many years. I deeply believe that the time has come for the country's governance to be rectified."

"It is time to rectify the administration of officials. We cannot allow such a horrific human disaster as the Miyun tragedy to happen again, which will affect the people and cause your Majesty, the wise ruler, to be humiliated by treacherous villains."

"Your Majesty is responsible for the whole country, you are wise and wise, and you are the master of the country. Please be wise and set a precedent for the administration of officials in this dynasty, and stop corrupt officials from eating away at the Ming Dynasty!"

above the hall.

Gao Gong was solemn and dignified.

Now is an excellent time.

It was with the influence of the Miyun Massacre that the time began to rectify the administration of officials in the country.

Gao Gong felt that there was no way this matter could be denied.

Following Gao Gong, of course, was the Minister of Revenue Gao Yao, who bowed and left the stage.

"I second the motion and request Your Majesty to issue an order to rectify the administration of officials!"

In the crowd.

Ouyang Bijin, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, turned his gaze.

Rectify the administration of officials.

This kind of thing cannot be accomplished by any one government office alone.

His own Censorate was originally responsible for supervising officials throughout the country.

Now Gao Gong took the lead and called for the rectification of official administration.

It is also an opportunity for the Censorate.

Ouyang Bijin immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty! I second the proposal. Now is the time for the court to vigorously rectify the administration of officials. Your Majesty has been wise and benevolent since he ascended the throne. You should do your best to rectify the situation. I ask Your Majesty to judge and make the decision."

After Ouyang Bijin.

Yuan Wei slowly raised his hands and clasped his fists, then walked out: "I second the motion."

Rectify the administration of officials.

Naturally, the Ministry of Personnel should take the lead.

Responsible for supervising the administration of all officials.

in this way.

Guo Pu, the new Minister of Personnel, can take on the important responsibility.

It is naturally good for yourself as well.

Guo Pu followed and also came out and said, "I second the motion."

to this moment.

Gao Gong and Yuan Wei in the cabinet, Gao Yao and Guo Pu in the six ministries, and Ouyang Bijin, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, all agreed that the court should start to rectify the administration of officials.

Yan Shifan, who had been hiding in the crowd, looked around several times.

The young cabinet minister's eyes turned.

He walked out with a whoosh.

"His Majesty!"

"I second the proposal!"

"Today, under the emperor's feet, the world is clear and bright. The Shuntian prefect Xu Fan can do things that harm the people in Miyun. The prefecture and the county are in collusion and lawless, causing hundreds of thousands of people to die tragically in the cold winter."

"This is a heinous crime, a horrific tragedy. Has our dynasty ever seen such a crime before? Your Majesty's reputation as a wise and wise man was almost ruined by Xu Fan, the governor of Shuntian."

"Shuntian Prefecture is especially capable of this. How can the two capitals, thirteen provinces, and more than a thousand county offices of the Ming Dynasty govern their own regions? How many of them are like the treacherous Xu Fan, who secretly seizes power and harms the people."

"Your Majesty's reputation for wisdom and wisdom cannot be tolerated by these treacherous people."

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to strictly rectify the administration of this dynasty!"

"All those corrupt officials who eat the emperor's salary but break the law and commit corruption and fraud should be put in jail and severely punished! This will serve as a warning to others and deter all parties!"

Even though Xu Fan had been imprisoned by the factory guards.

Even though Xu Jie had been sent back home.

Yan Shifan still took the opportunity to take advantage of the Xu family.

But what he said was reasonable.

Shuntian Prefecture is located at the foot of the emperor and in the capital area, but the Miyun tragedy could have happened there.

In the two capitals, thirteen provinces and thousands of prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty, no one knew how many corrupt and treacherous people were hiding.

The young cabinet minister is loyal to the country and serves the country and the people.

At this moment.

The Minister of Rites Yan Ne also stood up.

"Your Majesty, the administration of the court affects the lives of the people and the country, so it should be strictly enforced. However, there are tens of thousands of officials and hundreds of thousands of clerks inside and outside the court. If there are no rules and regulations, and if they are not discussed in advance, they will be hastily rectified because of sudden events. The court is far away from the local areas and cannot grasp the local situation in time. I am afraid that corrupt officials will hide in the local areas, and loyal officials will be innocently wronged. I think this matter should be dealt with slowly."

Lord Xu is not in the court at the moment.

If the imperial court began to rectify the administration of officials at this time.

It is inevitable that the Yan family, Gao family, and Yuan family will use the Xu family's old friends in the court and the local areas to suppress the possibility of reform. Paine followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, since Emperor Taizu founded the Ming Dynasty, he has strictly enforced the law in order to intimidate officials. But throughout history, laws and orders cannot be changed lightly, for fear of unjust imprisonment and innocent people being implicated.

“It is for this reason that all death sentences throughout the country must be reported to the court by local officials, and after review by the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Censorate, they are presented to Your Majesty for final approval of the death penalty, which is carried out every autumn.

Matters involving human life must be handled with extreme caution."

For a while.

The situation in the hall seemed to be evenly matched.

But at the cabinet level, almost everyone agreed to rectify the administration of officials.

When Jiajing looked at Yan Song.

Yan Shaoting has already stepped out with his hands clasped.

From the Yan family?
When Yan Shaoting moved.

Gao Gong, Yuan Wei and others, as well as Yan Ne, Pan En and Yang Bo, all looked over.

Does the Yan family support the rectification of official administration or oppose it?

If the administration of officials is to be rectified, I am afraid that many officials who used to rely on the Yan family will be investigated, dismissed, or even imprisoned and punished.

The Yan family would certainly not agree to hastily rectify the administration of officials.

Yan Ne and Paine looked at each other and thought silently in their hearts.

Although the two of them had some conflicts with the Yan family.

But in the matter of rectifying the administration of officials, the same purpose should be achieved.

Jiajing glanced at Yan Shaoting who was walking out.

Humming in my heart.

This kid can get a word in everywhere.

Without waiting for Yan Shaoting to speak.

Jiajing said, "No need to be polite. If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now."

Yan Shaoting's face paused.

He frowned and looked at the old Taoist priest.

So disrespectful?
After cursing silently in my heart.

Yan Shaoting spoke directly: "Your Majesty, I think that when it comes to rectifying the administration of officials, stability should be the top priority."

As soon as these words came out.

There was a flash of joy in the eyes of Yan Ne, Pan En and Yang Bo.

What Yan Shaoting said now undoubtedly represented Yan Song's opinion.

That is the matter of rectifying the administration of officials, which cannot be rushed.

Gao Gong, Yuan Wei and others looked puzzled.

Logically speaking, Xu Jie is not present now.

If the administration of officials is rectified, it will not be difficult for Yan Song, as the prime minister, to keep his own people under him, and he can also get rid of Xu Jie's people at the same time.

Why not?
Yan Shaoting then said: "The administration of officials involves tens of thousands of officials and hundreds of thousands of clerks inside and outside the court. Naturally, we cannot mess things up. Once there is a little chaos in the court, the whole country will be in chaos. At that time, it is still the people, your Majesty's subjects, who will suffer.

"But today, it is time for the court to rectify the administration of officials. There are many complicated matters inside and outside the court, but the most important thing is the administration of officials!

If the government is clean and honest, the government will be smooth and the people will be harmonious. The superiors will follow suit, and the imperial edicts can be smoothly implemented in the local areas, thus ensuring the people's safety, enriching the people, stabilizing the state, and strengthening the country. "

Yan Ne and the other two widened their eyes.

This kid actually made a sudden comeback right in front of them.

Gao Gong, Yuan Wei and others were obviously relieved.

As long as Yan Shaoting does not say anything against the rectification of officialdom, then Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, will not be able to interfere and ruin the rectification of officialdom.

Now that Yan Shaoting has stated that the court needs to rectify the administration of officials, Yan Song, as the chief minister, will naturally stand on their side.

"To keep the people safe, to enrich the people, to stabilize the country, to strengthen the nation..."

Jiajing muttered in a low voice, his eyes flickering.

This is probably the great country that all kings of all dynasties have longed for.

However, the Minister of Justice Pan En snorted in his heart, with sarcasm in his eyes.

This Yan Shaoting just created a Changping.

Do you really think that he can handle all the affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty?
Paine immediately said: "The four things that Yan Shidu mentioned to strengthen the country have been pursued by monarchs and ministers of all dynasties. However, if we can stabilize the people, prevent disasters and unrest, and the court has a surplus every year, it will be the best.

"Could it be...

"Mr. Yan has some wonderful ideas, can we make the Ming Dynasty do the same? Can we achieve what Mr. Yan said about pacifying the people, enriching the people, stabilizing the country, and strengthening the nation?"

He is just a young boy who wants to buy money from the emperor.

But Yan Ne was also a little worried.

Although it is unlikely that Yan Shaoting could accomplish these things, even if he could only do one or two of them, it would be able to stabilize people's livelihood, but it would not be a good thing.

Yan Shaoting glanced sideways at Yan Ne.

This Minister of Rites, who was born in Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, had just entered the court as an official.

One year, the Three Wu regions were invaded by Japanese pirates. He immediately wrote a petition to the emperor, in which he described in great detail the hardships faced by the people. Naturally, the old Taoist priest exempted the Three Wu regions from corvée and taxes.

Ok.

Very reasonable.

His hometown, Changshu County, is in the Sanwu region.

As for the future, Yan Ne, who also entered the cabinet for his skill in writing poems, promoted a new administration after taking office, and then gained a reputation for appointing people based on their merits and making a new administration.

As for the actual situation of appointing people based on their merits and making a new administration of officials.

Ha ha.

If this were true, it would be impossible for Gao and Zhang to continue to focus on the administration of officials after they came to power.

He simply ignored the Minister of Rites.

Yan Shaoting bowed and looked at the old Taoist priest behind the bead curtain.

"His Majesty."

"Although I am not talented, I do have a method."

"It can boost the country's governance!"
