Chapter 230 Secret Plays Entering Beijing(1/2)

After hearing Luo Sigong's words, Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked at him, but said nothing.

His meaning is very obvious, that is, you can continue to say it, and listen to what opinions do you have.

Luo Sigong realized and said, "The Jinyiwei has personnel everywhere, so it is more convenient to mobilize, and there is no need to temporarily form personnel."

When saying this, Luo Sigong turned his head and looked at Wei Zhongxian. The meaning was very obvious. Your Dongchang does not have the advantage of us.

Wei Zhongxian was immediately angry and glared at Luo Sigong with gritted teeth.

However, Wei Zhongxian knew that the East Factory was indeed not as good as the Jinyiwei at this point, but he could not let Luo Sigong suppress him. If this matter was handed over to the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei would definitely be the one who was on the Dongyiwei. I am afraid it would be difficult to turn over again in the future.

He didn't look at Wei Zhongxian at all. Luo Sigong's face was very serious. He also realized that this was an opportunity. It was a very good opportunity for both the Jinyiwei and for him personally.

Once you can take this matter on the Jinyiwei, your power will be greatly improved. You can easily let the Jinyiwei overwhelm the Dongchang, and you can also overwhelm Wei Zhongxian.

Luo Sigong continued: "The Jinyiwei has been in the local area for many years and has an understanding of the local area. As long as the matter is explained, they will definitely be able to do the work well, so I think this matter should be left to the Jinyiwei."

Zhu Youxiao did not agree with Luo Sigong's remarks.

The reason is very simple. He didn't want to watch the Dongchang grow bigger, and naturally he didn't want to see the Jinyiwei grow bigger. The Jinyiwei is not much better than the Dongchang. This matter cannot be left to them.

The reason why I brought them two was just to talk about them.

"Encyclopedia and Dongchang." Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "You have done a lot of things over the years, but you still can't do some things, but you can think of some other ways."

Zhu Youxiao changed the topic and suddenly asked, "You two have no good ideas?"

Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong looked at each other and understood in their hearts that His Majesty did not want them to interfere.

But the key question is how to do it?

Since Your Majesty has called him and two of them, there must be an arrangement. At this time, it depends on who can guess His Majesty’s thoughts.

Luo Sigong quietly turned his attention to Chen Hong, hoping that Chen Hong could give him some tips. After all, this Eunuch Chen has always been by His Majesty, and he has been with him for so many years, so he has gained a lot of benefits.

This is a critical moment, and this Eunuch Chen naturally needs to put in some effort.

But Chen Hong seemed to have not seen Luo Sigong, standing aside, lowering his head, asking his eyes, asking his nose, and asking his heart, as if he was thinking about something important.

Seeing this, Luo Sigong could only turn around helplessly.

Wei Zhongxian, who was on the other side, seemed to have thought of something, and took a step forward and said, "Emperor, I think I can start with the Censorate."

This matter is actually easy to guess. Since our Dongchang and Jinyiwei are not good, the only supervisory agency of the court is left is the Censorate, so it is more appropriate to hand over this matter to the Censorate.

Wei Zhongxian was a little excited because he knew very well that there was someone in the Censorate. Compared with the Jinyiwei, he had this huge advantage.

Now Choi Chengxiu can be said to be a rising star in the Censorate, or a rising star. If you can leave this matter to Choi Chengxiu, it will be no different from doing it yourself.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian and said with a smile: "Then tell me what to do?"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I think that you should select effective personnel from the Censorate and dispatch them to various places to supervise the local area. Once there is anything wrong with the local area, these people can be allowed to report to the capital city."

His tone was full of excitement. This was actually a copy of the policy he had just proposed, but the executor changed from the East Factory to the Censorate.

Once the emperor agrees, Wei Zhongxian decides to recommend Cui Chengxiu immediately and spread the matter out as soon as possible.

Luo Sigong, who was on the other hand, looked a little bad when he heard this.

If Wei Zhongxian did this, he would definitely be suppressed again. He was no longer as good as Wei Zhongxian before. If he did this again, he would be really finished.

Luo Si was so anxious that he was sweating. He could only look at Chen Hong again with some hope, wanting to see if Chen Hong had any solutions.

Looking at Luo Sigong helplessly, Chen Hong raised his head gently, and the expression on his face still did not change, but there was some disappointment in his eyes.

Luo Sigong is really not as good as Wei Zhongxian, but there is no way. If he doesn't help at this time, Luo Sigong will be finished.

So Chen Hong opened his mouth and said a word gently in his lips. After saying that, he quickly lowered his head, stopped raising his head, and stopped signaling.

Although Chen Hong only made one move, Luo Sigong could see what he was talking about. Chen Hong was talking about the official.

This made Luo Sigong feel a little unthinkable.

I don’t know if it’s blessing to the heart, Luo Sigong suddenly thought of a possibility, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he quickly said, “Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate.”

Wei Zhongxian naturally saw the small actions of Luo Sigong and Chen Hong.

However, he knew that he could not report it, so he could only glar at the two people fiercely. At this time, when he heard Luo Sigong say this, Wei Zhongxian's heart was full of twists. These two people might have something to do again.

Taking a step forward, Luo Sigong said: "Your Majesty, I think the selected personnel of the Censorate are uneven. Such an approach may not necessarily achieve any good results, but may cause disaster to the place. After all, they do not know the local affairs, and there may be some inappropriate places when they rashly go."

Seeing Luo Sigong's righteousness, Wei Zhongxian wanted to go up and slap him.

Why didn't you say it just now?

Now that I have come out to talk about these things, are you still mentioning your Jinyiwei?

You can't use this reason, right?

Before Wei Zhongxian could stand up and say anything, Luo Sigong continued: "I think that local officials should be allowed to report secretly to the capital, and the Jinyiwei could confiscate the secretly to the capital and send it secretly to the capital."

"Without passing through the cabinet, we can go directly to the imperial front, so that local officials can report the truth and prevent local officials from deceiveing ​​their superiors and hiding their subordinates. If there is anything that can be sent to the capital as quickly as possible, at that time, the world will naturally not be hidden from your Majesty."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, they were not wrong, they could really think of this.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "What I said makes sense. Maybe this is a good idea."

In fact, it was not strange to secretly memorials in the Ming Dynasty, but not many people had the authority to secretly memorials, basically they were the Dongchang and Jinyiwei, as well as some important officials in the court.

When they met Zhu Youxiao, they could present the question book they had written directly to Zhu Youxiao without going through the cabinet.

However, this approach is a bad rule and usually does not choose to do so. The ministers still have to go through the cabinet after entering the question book, but the news cannot be hidden.

Whether it is the cabinet, the Tongzhengsi, or even the Lijian, it is like a broken house with leaks on all sides, and nothing can be hidden.

Zhu Youxiao has long been dissatisfied with this, and this is what he wants to change.

It is not difficult to change this because there is experience from later generations to learn from.

During the Qing Dynasty, in order to change this system and reduce the power of the cabinet, a very important invention was made, its name was Memorial.

The memorial was first used during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty and was widely adopted later. A fixed system was formed during the Kangxi period. It took more than two hundred years to be abolished during the Qing Dynasty.

The documents that officials submitted to the emperor were copied in folded versions, so they were called "Xulu". Also known as "Xuluzi". The number of memorials, number of lines, and number of words in each line have a fixed format.

Officials inside and outside the capital, regardless of their official position, can receive favor and concessions from the emperor, even those who are in vain or even the abbot of the temple can report memorials and thank you for your gratitude.

The most important point of memorials is to keep them confidential. In order to ensure that the content of the memorials is not leaked, the Qing court established a complete confidentiality system to make the memorial system more perfect.

First, the writer must write it himself. Generally, no one is allowed to write it on his behalf. After writing it, the author must not pass it on his own, otherwise he will be punished.

Second, leather boxes are made from the palace, equipped with keys, and sent to the officials who are responsible for storing and passing memorials.

Third, the memorials of the senior officials above the governor were sent to the Qianqing Gate of the Danei, and handed them to the Nei Memorial Office and went directly to the imperial front, rather than the title of the Transportation Government Office. The memorials of ordinary officials were sent to the office of the confidant ministers designated by Yongzheng, and they submitted them on their behalf. Of course, the memorials had no right to know the content of the memorials. After Emperor Yongzheng read it, he made a red note and sent it back from the original channel.

Fourth, take back the memorials of red criticism.

Fifth, strengthen the confidentiality work of the Military Affairs Office.

Since the memorials were exempted from the transmission of the intermediate links and the court sent method was adopted, it could not only be quickly handed over to the emperor, but also after the emperor approved the imperial edict, it could be directly sent back to the officials and immediately put into practice, which greatly improved administrative efficiency and had a positive impact on the politics of the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, since the memorials were carried out secretly, a mutually restrictive relationship was formed between the provincial governor and the minister, the local government and the central government, and the inner court and the outer court, in addition to the normal relationship between the leaders and the leaders.

Ministers informed each other, and the emperor's eyes and ears were all over the capital. No one knew what small reports had been made to the emperor. The emperor could directly understand the public and private incidents and interpersonal relationships between the central government and local governments, regardless of the size, from the memorials.

The emperor then used memorials to rectify the administration of officials, supervise the people's sentiments, issue orders, and exclude dissidents. The common affairs of the world were handled by one person, thus making the feudal imperial power unparalleled.

Zhu Youxiao naturally has to use such a good thing.

At the same time, a new yamen can be established to be responsible for memorials. This will weaken the power of the cabinet to a certain extent and lay the foundation for establishing a new yamen in the future.

However, if this matter is taken out, it will inevitably make countless people dissatisfied. Especially cabinet officials, there will be many attacks.

Zhu Youxiao could not have ended up in person, so he found Han Li through the dream thing, and now he found Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted to give this blame to Wei Zhongxian, but he didn't expect Luo Sigong to be so active.

Anyway, it will give it to anyone, so he will do it.

As for Luo Sigong's memorials to let the Jinyiwei transport these memorials, Zhu Youxiao was not ready to listen to them.

Because it has no effect at all, civil servants will not trust the Jinyiwei. Even if they believe that many things are internal problems of civil servants, they will not go to the Jinyiwei.

There is a saying in later generations that Zhu Youxiao remembers very clearly. That is:

The world is in trouble. Whoever reports to the official position will be a traitor.

Although this principle is a bit vulgar, it is also feasible to put it here. Civil officials can jump from this party to that party, which is all their own affairs.

But if you jump to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, it is not possible. It belongs to the class enemy, and surrendering to the enemy is equivalent to rebellion.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes slowly swept across Wei Zhongxian's faces, and he said with a smile: "You two are good, they are very appropriate, and I am very satisfied."

As he said that, he turned to look at Chen Hong and ordered: "Give them Yu Ruyi and give them another python robe."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "You guys go back."

After Wei Zhongxian and the others left, Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly: "You should know how to do it, right?"

"Go back to the emperor, I understand." Chen Hong quickly agreed respectfully.

The news spread quickly, and everyone was in an uproar.
