Ming Dynasty: My Father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 426: Objection Is Invalid! The Test-Taking Method Was Successfully Implemented!

Latest website:

It’s been planned for a long time!

The King of Han has definitely been planning this for a long time!

Otherwise, how could Chen Qia come up with such a detailed and complete plan?

If this new law is really implemented, a large number of local officials who are just a slave to the common people will definitely be deprived of their posts and accused of crimes, and even some officials who live on a vegetarian diet will also be affected!

Among them, maybe there will be myself!

Thinking of this, many courtiers began to become unable to sit still.

Hu Xi, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, became even more melancholy. He became the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he kept delaying going to Peking to take up his post on the pretext of being ill. He wanted to stay in peace for a while and wait for His Majesty to return to court.

The result is now good. For some unknown reason, His Majesty the Emperor has been stationed in Peiping and has not returned, which makes Hu Hui's current identity and situation extremely embarrassing.

After all, the official Minister of Etiquette, Wang Jing, is still there. Although Wang Jing respects Hu Hui's qualifications and virtues, and the matters of the Ministry of Etiquette are discussed between the two, he can't always stay in the imperial capital, right?

As a result, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han suddenly came up with a new law for passing examinations, which greatly increased the power of the cabinet and added a lot of government affairs to the cabinet.

Hu Hui can't even leave now even if he wants to, and once the new law is successfully implemented, he will have a damn chance to get away with it!

When she thought of this, Hu Xi couldn't help it.

The ministers saw the giant walking out calmly and said tentatively: "Your Highness, the King of Han, the examination method proposed by Chen Shilang is indeed of great benefit to the country and the people!"

If Hu Hui is not a good person, he did not object to the new examination method, but first affirmed the benefits of this method to the Ming Dynasty and the court.

Even Zhu Gaoxu couldn't say anything after hearing this.

Prince Han was just a little confused at the moment, why did this old bastard suddenly show up again?

Hu Hu, under the orders of Zhu Laosi, had been traveling around the mountains and rivers in the past few years with the funds allocated to him by Zhu Laosi, looking for Emperor Jianwen.

Later, Emperor Jianwen was taken to Jiming Temple by himself, so his mission naturally ended, and he returned to the court with the title of Minister of Rites.

Then the old bastard claimed to be ill and refused to go to court. As a result, Zhu Laosi scolded him and promoted him to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites. He wanted him to go to work in Peking and cooperate with Guo Zi to manage the affairs of the new capital.

As a result, this old bastard still refused to leave because of his physical condition, so that there are now two ministers of the Ministry of Rites in the imperial capital, one is the genuine Wang Jing, and the other is the famous Hu Hui.

Wang Jingzheng took Zeng Ji and Zou Ji to cooperate with Wang Ji of Xie Jin and traveled around the capital to promote the new learning, so the administrative affairs of the Ministry of Rites were left to Hu Hui.

After all, Chen Gongfu died, and his last wish was to learn new things. Inspired by this incident, Xie Gongbao was reinstated and immediately started his career with great success.

During the last small meeting, the old bastard Hu Xi didn't say a word. Now that the new law is about to be implemented, you are standing in the court to oppose it!

Why, are you putting eye drops on me, are you deliberately making people disgusting?

Hu Bi glanced at Prince Han, and saw a kind smile on His Highness's face, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

But for the sake of living a peaceful life in the future, Hu Hui still bit the bullet and spoke.

"However, in my opinion, the current situation of the court is not suitable for implementing this method."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard what he said, he was immediately puzzled. He didn't understand what this old bastard wanted to say.

Hu Hui usually has little sense of presence and rarely takes the initiative to make trouble. But at this critical moment, what does he want to do?

"Go on." Zhu Gaoxu suppressed the confusion in his heart and answered casually.

Seeing this, Hu Hu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "First, according to what Prime Minister Fang said, the implementation of the examination method will inevitably require a large number of censors who are upright and can enforce the law impartially."

"However, there are currently only a few dozen censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and most of them are still supervising one party in various places. They are unable to bear such a huge workload..."

Before Hu Xi finished speaking, Gu Xiangzi interrupted: "Master Hu really thinks about our Imperial Inspection Yuan, but don't worry, Master Hu. It is a matter of loyalty to the emperor to eat the emperor's salary, even if all the members of our Imperial Inspection Yuan are working day and night. It’s worth it, and we will fully cooperate with the imperial court to implement the new test method!”

Hu Xi: "???"

Your uncle!

Are you really a hawk?

Why don't you give up any face?

Damn, I have never seen such a shameless person!

Because of Gu Penzi's statement, the Metropolitan Procuratorate firmly supports the imperial court's implementation of the new examination law, so they will naturally find a way to solve the manpower problem, so Hu Hui's reason is not appropriate.

After a pause, Hu Xi spoke again: "Secondly, the new law says that trust must be rewarded and punished. This is easier said than done. Many problems are not temporary disasters, but symptoms accumulated over many years. It’s a disaster, how should we reward and punish it?”

"For example, the treasury of a certain place has a deficit, but this deficit is left over by successive prefects. It cannot be blamed on the current prefect, right?"

"The imperial court is rectifying the administration of officials. The current prefect was severely punished because he was unable to fill the huge deficit. Does His Highness the King of Han think this is fair? I'm afraid it won't be long before officials everywhere will resign."

"Furthermore, if the previous prefects here were promoted or became officials, how should they deal with it? Should we just let the current prefect be the scapegoat?"

I have to admit that Hu Hui still has two brushes and pointed out some minor problems in the examination method.

In the final analysis, due to the connivance and preferential treatment of Emperor Jianwen and the Yongle Dynasty's imitation of Hongwu in restoring the ancestral system, the development of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has gradually become deformed, leaving many problems.

Hu Hui just cited one of them symbolically.

To put it bluntly, the current officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is a mess.

Literati entered the officialdom through the imperial examination and continuously entered the officialdom of the court. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Faced with the various problems left by their predecessors, they did not choose to solve them, but muddle along, or even complicity.

After all, official corruption is endemic, not just in the court, but also in the local area!

However, it is precisely because of this that the imperial court must implement a new law for examinations!

If these gentry officials were not restricted by layers of shackles, they would almost forget their last names!

"Hu Ming, since you know what the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is like now, do you think the court should stop implementing the new law and continue to let it rot?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked indifferently, going straight to the core of the problem.

Hu Hao was startled when he heard this and opened his mouth to say something, but he did not continue speaking after all.

It's okay to be a bastard and fish in peace, but if the entire Ming Dynasty were filled with officials like this, or officials who preyed on the common people, then the Ming Dynasty would really be doomed.

Hu Hui didn't understand this, so he chose to remain silent.

Since this is the case, I can't fish anymore, so no one can lie down anymore, they should all be rolled up by me!

When Zhu Gaoxu saw that he was silent, his heart suddenly returned to his stomach. Then he looked around at the ministers and asked, "Do you have anything else to say about the new law?"

All the officials looked at each other in silence, without saying a word.

They have seen things clearly when things have developed to this point.

Prince Han, the supervisor of the country, is determined to implement the examination method, and there is no way they can stop it.

There was silence in the hall.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Gaoxu showed a warm smile on his face and said: "In this case, the new law will be implemented immediately after the examination. The right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Chen Qia, will be responsible, assisted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the seven ministries and hundreds of departments will fully cooperate!"

"Anyone who neglects political affairs or secretly obstructs them will be punished without mercy!"
