Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao - Chapter 458

  Chapter 458 The officials were shocked and begged Zhang Gui for mercy!

  Tianqi suddenly felt that what Zhang Gui said made sense.

  But Tianqi doesn’t want to read the contents of these ministers’ mutual informers every day.

  For Zhu Youxiao, a scientist, every minute and every second of him is very precious.

Therefore, Tianqi also said: “In this way, set up the secret office, and you will be the minister of the secret office. All the secret notes can only be checked after you seal them. After checking, if you think you need to do it, come to me.” explain.”

   Zhang Gui was quite astonished after hearing this, thinking that Tian Qi really didn’t want to spend more energy on government affairs.

   But as far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, the autocratic monarchy will not see a decline in the power of the monarchy due to the emergence of the steam industry, and will even accelerate the centralization of the monarchy due to the emergence of industrialization.

   Therefore, the emperor of Ming Dynasty will only become more and more tired, and there will only be more and more things to deal with.

   Tianqi only wants to engage in technology to develop productivity.

   Zhang Gui had no choice but to ask: “Aren’t you afraid that your majesty will use this to further attack dissidents?”

Tian Qi chuckled: “After the prince’s wedding, you can no longer be in power. I have already announced it to the world. Therefore, all the ministers and workers in the world will only tolerate you arrogating power until the prince’s wedding. During this period, if you attack more people , it is more beneficial for the prince to show his kindness.”

   Zhang Gui suddenly realized after hearing this, and couldn’t help but glanced at Tianqi, and said: “Your Majesty, you are so good at being the emperor, what kind of research are you doing, you should go out of the palace to observe the government in person.”

   Tianqi waved his hand and said, “It’s boring to fight those hypocrites! You should play with them.”

  Zhang Gui: “…”

   Not long after, Tianqi gave Zhang Gui a secret office to set up, and asked Zhang Gui to be in charge of the secret office to print the minister’s letter.

  Zhang Gui came to the cabinet with this handbook.

   “How could Your Majesty issue such an edict! You don’t doubt the people you employ, and you don’t use the people you suspect. By doing this, Your Majesty is doubting the ministers and accepting the non-loyal ones. This is really humiliating the ministers and waiting too much! Your Majesty should take back this intention!”

  After seeing Tianqi’s handwriting, Cheng Jiming of the cabinet directly lost his composure on the spot.

  He really couldn’t accept this secret music system.

  Because even a fool understands that this is strengthening the power of the emperor and Zhang Gui, and it will make it difficult for many ministers to trust each other.

   Because of this, Liu Hongxun couldn’t help asking Zhang Gui: “Your Highness, did you propose this?”

  Zhang Gui nodded.

  He didn’t intend to deny it.

  Liu Hongxun sneered: “Your Highness, don’t you worry that everyone in the world will tell His Majesty about you in the future?”

Zhang Gui spread his hands: “Whatever! I’m really not afraid of being crooked when I’m alone. Anyway, there are a lot of people in Heigu now, and they even say that Gu has committed adultery with the princess. Such rumors that damage the royal family’s face can be made. You say Gu is still worried What can’t be black?”

“Your Highness, we are as angry as you are about the rumor that you adulterated the princess, and we don’t believe it! But you can’t suggest that His Majesty set up a system of secret memorials just because of this! The secret memorial is clearly intended to make the world The ministers are in trouble, and in the future more ministers will suffer the same injustice as you, do you really have the heart?”

“Yes! The Master said, don’t do to others what you don’t want to be done to others. Your Highness, why are you doing this? Rumors only stop at the wise. We believe that as time goes by, more and more wise people will understand, and they will not Slander you like this again.”

  Liu Hongxun and Cheng Ji ordered Zhang Gui to come.

   “Gu has nothing to bear! After the establishment of the secret report system, His Majesty will investigate whether there is any slander in the secret report of the officials. Just like you said just now, the rumors suspected of slandering Gu will only dissipate.”

Zhang Gui pulled his face down as he spoke, and said in a deep voice: “Don’t think that you don’t know, even if the rumors will dissipate in the future, they will definitely be kept in your notes by you civil servants, and even compiled into a document, and you will make up all kinds of things in your brain. This is a unique habit of literati since ancient times! It is inevitable! If this is the case, let His Majesty know the secrets of all the officials in the world, and then punish them, and tell the world, what’s the point!”

   “Then I can only resign! I would rather resign than draw up such a will.”

  Cheng Jiming yelled at this moment.

  Liu Hongxun also nodded: “This decree really cannot be drafted. How can there be a reason for all the officials to expose each other and treat their colleagues as thieves?”

   “Is it true?”

   Zhang Gui asked a question.

   “Not intended!”

   Cheng Jiming replied sharply.

  Wen Tiren came over at this time, took the finished edict, and said with a smile: “Your Highness! I have already prepared it according to the edict.”

  Zhang Gui took the imperial decree, looked at it, and then laughed with satisfaction: “Very good! Hard work Yuanfu ordered someone to send someone to the Sixth Section Hall for transcription immediately.”

  Cheng Jiming and Liu Hongxun looked at Wen Tiren in astonishment.

  They didn’t expect Wen Tiren to be so spineless that he had already silently drafted the imperial decree.

  They couldn’t help but began to doubt Wen Tiren, wondering whether Wen Tiren was still the same civil servant who risked his death to oppose the Zen throne to Uncle Zhang Guo.

   “Humph! You are flattering!”

  Cheng Jiming couldn’t help but cursed in a low voice, but didn’t dare to curse loudly. He was afraid that if he cursed too loudly, Liu Hongxun would bear his grudge, and then he would file a black case against him.

  After the promulgation of the secret music system, it also aroused great repercussions inside and outside the court.

  Of course, most of them are attacking this system.

   After all, this system is really vicious, and it will make it more difficult for their entire bureaucratic group to hold together, and they will have to tighten their tails even more in the future.

   You know, although Dongxichang has a lot of power in monitoring the entire bureaucratic group.

But in many cases, it is difficult for Dongxi Factory to find out many secrets within the bureaucratic group. First, most of the banner schools of Dongxi Factory come from low-level civilians or military academies, and they don’t know much about bureaucrats. So in many cases, as long as bureaucrats don’t Things that are done too much are not obvious, and basically things can’t be found out.

   But the secret report system is different. This is to let the bureaucrats tell their own secrets, and their own people punish their own people.

  Many times, only you know your own people best.

  Many secrets cannot be found out by East and West Factory, but often bureaucrats themselves can guess what another bureaucrat is thinking just by hearing the wind direction.

  However, bureaucratic criticism is only internal criticism, and after all, they dare not criticize it openly in front of their colleagues. After all, they are really afraid that someone will write a secret report and sue themselves.

  Only the bureaucrats themselves know how unreliable people like themselves are.

   “Uncle Guo’s trick is really ruthless. With this secret performance system, the Fusi of Dongchang Township doesn’t have to be set up.”

  Fan Wencheng couldn’t help sighing because of this.

  Zhu Changhao also nodded after Fan Wencheng sighed: “Now that I think about it, I shouldn’t have said that to Zhu Yujian back then.”

  Liu Shiyuan smiled wryly: “Who knew there would be a secret music system.”

   “These are nothing. Even if Zhu Yujian wants to play, we can deny it, after all, there is no proof.”

Fan Wencheng said, “It’s just worrying that His Royal Highness and the world’s dignitaries who want to let Uncle Zhang go and take advantage of the world’s steam industry will find it difficult to use high-sounding reasons to deceive you. Uncle Zhang Guo and the people of the world. For example, the matter of reducing expenditures is nominally a long-term suggestion for the country, but if someone really reports it secretly, saying that the minister who raised such views has evil intentions, how can he deceive Zhang Guo Uncle and the people of the world?”

  Zhu Changhao nodded.

   Liu Shiyuan simply smashed the table and snorted angrily.

  Zhang Gui naturally knew that his move was cruel, but he also had to do it, because whoever made the rich and powerful bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty want to make him feel uncomfortable, then he could only make life difficult for these powerful and bureaucratic officials.

  However, the secret performance system is not Zhang Gui’s original creation, but just learned from more powerful masters in history.
