The most important reason why the current situation is turbulent and obscure is that the imperial court has set the mountain pillar stone Bi Ziyan to become a general, which has also led to a series of things.
These things have not stopped so far, and many people are speculating that Bi Ziyan does not want to leave.
If Bi Ziyan doesn't want to leave, and the emperor wants to drive him away again, and the two monarchs and ministers confront each other, you can imagine how big a storm it will be and how many people will be implicated!
Zhang Rongsui raised his head and suddenly woke up, lowered his head, and waited tremblingly in his heart.
Bi Ziyan didn't think so much as Zhang Rongsui thought, his expression was calm as usual, he pondered for a while, his tone was relaxed and natural, and he was no different from discussing government affairs with Zhu Xu in Beijing, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have traveled from north to south, traveled a lot of places, and seen a lot, I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and many problems have penetrated into the bone marrow.
As a result, the minister has been reflecting on past policies recently......"
Zhu Xu listened quietly and did not interrupt.
Bi Ziyan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued: "The minister has also observed the commercial affairs, and the ministers have sent directions, their power is already very large, and it is feasible to use commercial affairs to alleviate agricultural affairs, but it is necessary to make sufficient adjustments and even precautions in the future.
Merchants seek profits, and if they enter the imperial court, it may affect the national government......"
Bi Ziyan is talking about two major aspects, one is the old stubborn disease, and the other is the new force.
These two issues should be the core problems that plague the Ming Dynasty, and Bi Ziyan and Zhu Xu said this, which also expressed an attitude.
A peaceful attitude, he will not intervene to block the new forces, and will transfer power smoothly.
This is Bi Ziyan's official statement, in front of Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu was extremely relieved, looked at Bi Ziyan, and nodded lightly.
This old man is the right-hand man he has relied on for many years, and he is his teacher.
If it weren't for him stabilizing the situation and dealing with the aftermath of those big and small things over the years, the Ming Dynasty wouldn't know what the chaos would look like.
Maybe Bi Ziyan has historical limitations, trapped in inherent cognition, and has a great distance from his thoughts and expectations, but he has indeed worked hard and contributed everything to Daming.
Daming can have today, and Bi Ziyan's contribution is second to none.
Zhu Xu has respect for him, in this chaotic era, it is really commendable to have such ability and courage, and there is no second person to find in the same period!
Zhu Xu felt very comfortable, although he had secretly decided to give this old man a decent ending no matter what, but he was still calm and wise in the end, and he was really happy to have such an attitude.
Zhu Xu picked up the teacup to hide the fluctuations in his heart, and after a while, he said, "Well, I have been thinking about these two things for a long time.
To solve the first problem, the 'New Deal' is not immutable, the times are changing, the times are changing, our policies, the ways and means of administration must change, we cannot stick to the rules, and the horses will sit on the south mountain and eat nothing.
After the boss returns to Beijing, he will have a good discussion with Sun Baigu, and I will also discuss it with the cabinet......"
Bi Ziyan leaned over and said, "Yes."
After returning to Beijing, the minister plans to discuss again with the six cabinet ministries and others to further improve the 'new policy,' set the tone for some things, and dispose of some personnel......"
Zhu Xu heard that Bi Ziyan wanted to clear some obstacles for Sun Chuanting before leaving, and he was burdened with these 'crimes'.
Zhu Xu glanced at him, was silent for a while, and said: "Regarding the second question, how to control the capital and prevent them from becoming monsters and devouring the Ming Dynasty, this is a new topic that needs to be seriously discussed.
But it's still early, the businessmen are just getting the sweetness of the 'New Deal', and they are far from getting into the house......"
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was at most the budding of capitalism, and it was more of a possession of the big landlord class, and there was still a long way to go if it wanted to develop.
Bi Ziyan had reservations about this matter, didn't say much, nodded, and then said: "Another problem is the imperial examination.
The emperor's preparation for the establishment of the academy is naturally a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, which is beyond reproach and will surely be enjoyed for centuries.
It's just that the political yuan is now leading the imperial examination, and almost all the scholars before the Apocalypse are excluded, plus the Donglin Party and other things, the confrontation between the imperial court and the scholars is not a day, and such a protracted internal friction is never a way, if they change their faces and enter the imperial court, the minister is worried that Zhang Juzheng's old things will be repeated......"
The so-called 'Zhang Juzheng's old affairs' is that after Zhang Juzheng's death, the conservative forces counterattacked and overthrew almost all his reforms, and decades of hard work were wiped out.
This is not only a failure of reform, such a toss, Zhang Juzheng's slightly better situation after the reform is completely regretted, the rapid decline of the government, accelerated the decline of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, some people discuss that, to a certain extent, Zhang Juzheng's reforms, instead of giving the Ming Dynasty a new life, accelerated its demise.
This is a later word, Zhu Xu understood Bi Ziyan's worries, his eyes were cold, he snorted, and said: "I can't allow Xiaoxiao to turn over in one day!"
” Bi Ziyan looked at Zhu Xu's young face, thinking that he was only twenty years old, and he did have time to solve it slowly, so he said, "The last question......
The minister knows that the emperor has always wanted to establish a new Ming Dynasty, and constantly tries to cut it with the past, but my Ming Dynasty is inherited from Taizu, more than two hundred years, and it is impractical to want to cut it clean......
This should also be another issue that the government and the opposition are concerned about, Zhu Xu even knocked out the ancestral laws of the clan, the Wei system, etc., and constantly cleaned up everything in the past, as if he wanted to completely cut off the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Xu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Well, it's thunder and rain and dew, I understand it in my heart." ” Bi Ziyan saw that Zhu Xu was unwilling to say much about this matter, and he felt in his heart, and said, "Could it be that Hong Chengchou has something to do with this matter?"
” Zhu Xu picked up the teacup, his eyes were cold, and he said: "Someone asked Hong Chengchou to come to the rescue, and he also took Lu Xiangsheng, it seems that the plot is not small." ” Lu Xiang is now in a high position and has a heavy army, so he can't ask for guilt in his rashness, and he can't even have some bad rumors.
Bi Ziyan pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Luo Yang, Zhu Zonghan and the two of them have to deal with it as soon as possible, and they can't be delayed." ” Although Bi Ziyan doesn't know much about Jinyiwei's affairs, he knows a little bit and knows that Zhu Xu is deliberately raising them.
Zhu Xu knocked on the table with his fingers and said, "Wait, these two people have no bottom in their hearts, I have to let them stumble again." ” Bi Ziyan didn't interject much on this, glanced at Zhang Rongsu, and said: "The emperor has been working hard all the way, and the ministers don't bother much, and when the emperor is resting, the ministers will come again." ” Zhu Xu was not very tired, knowing that if he missed this time, he would not have such a chance to be at ease next time, so he picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and said casually: "Master Bi, what do you think is the reason for the corruption of my Ming Dynasty?"
” Bi Ziyan was stunned, looked at Zhu Xu, and paused.
He thought that when he had finished speaking, the two of them should rest separately.

But looking at Zhu Xu's appearance, it seems that he still has something to say.
Thinking about Zhu Xu's words, Bi Ziyan frowned slightly.
Zhu Xu discussed this issue with him, with the cabinet, the cabinet, the six ministries, and even everywhere, and summarized countless reasons, which boiled down to nothing more than 'the corruption of discipline and the formation of a party among ministers' and the like.
But seeing Zhu Xu mention it again, it naturally won't be such an answer.
Bi Ziyan pondered for a while, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, the ministers believe that the primary responsibility lies with the first assistant, and the first assistant should be punished for the rebellion of the ministers." ” If others say this, it will definitely be slander and shirk responsibility, but as the 'first assistant', Bi Ziyan said this, it is self-reflection.
Zhu Xu held the teacup, looked outside, shook his head, and said, "Over the years, I have been reflecting, but I have never been able to find the deep reason.
What I want to say is what I have been thinking about recently, and we will talk about it and talk about it. ” Bi Ziyan made a respectful statement and listened carefully.
He knew very well that His Majesty the Emperor in front of him had always seen the problem accurately and deeply.
Zhang Rongsui has always been a transparent existence, and he hurriedly bowed down at this moment, his face was covered with cold sweat.
He listened to a lot of things today, none of which he should have heard, and if he continued, he didn't know what else he could hear.
Zhu Xu held the teacup, looked out the door, and said, "My officials in the Ming Dynasty are basically from Jinshi, full of poetry and books, pay attention to self-cultivation, and treat the Qing name as if it were their fate."
Let's not talk about those skinless and faceless villains, just talk about these 'self-cultivation' people, they uphold noble morals and take saints as examples in everything, but why, on the contrary, in the government and politics, they are narrow-minded and selfish everywhere?
For the sake of some rights, he will do everything, and even do not hesitate to sell the country......"
Bi Ziyan, Zhang Rongsui listened carefully and did not interject.
Zhu Xu's eyes were gloomy, and he said: "I think that they only care about self-cultivation and forget to cultivate another thing, that is, political morality!"
After passing the Jinshi examination, entering the official career, and becoming an official, you must have the morality of being an official, and the morality of being an official should be different from social morality, and there should be higher requirements, higher constraints, and know what you can do and what you can't do?
This political morality should be far above the discipline set by the imperial court, and whether it violates the discipline or lingers near the discipline, it is a violation of political morality and is not worthy of being an official ......."
Bi Ziyan understood, this is the so-called 'official morality', it's just that the emperor said so much, what is the purpose?
Zhu Xu said so much, naturally he had to do things strictly, put down the teacup, and said: "That Qingfeng Division, I hang under the parliament, I think, let them formulate a political and moral standard, if it is violated, complain to the parliament, the parliament can vote to remove such officials, and then other departments will follow up and investigate......"
Qingfeng Division, which used to belong to the cabinet, was mainly to clean up the decadence of the Ming Dynasty, but because there was no real power and the parliament was not strong enough, it did not show much power now.
Bi Ziyan pondered, frowned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, is the scope of this Qingfeng Division's management all officials?"
” Zhu Xu's expression did not move, the old man was still the same sharp, grasped the core of the problem, he did not play Tai Chi, and said: "What I think about is, all." ” "Including military and political auxiliaries?"
Bi Ziyan asked again.
Zhu Xu said: "Not bad. ”
