Zhang Juzheng's analysis was very correct. The Censorate had problems after Jiajing, but this was not a problem with the Censorate, but a problem with the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom.

The censors in the Ming Dynasty were generally not of high rank, but there was nothing they could not control in heaven and earth. This system was very advanced. At least in all countries in the Ming Dynasty, no country had a supervisory agency like the Ming Dynasty.

But such advanced supervision agencies also have a serious disadvantage: the news is reported, which is the power given to them by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is the essence of censors and the poison of censors.

The news gave the censor the power to impeach officials whenever he heard anything. The impeached officials were served to the court by the censor and were not kept by the emperor, so he had to suspend his post and return to his hometown and write a letter to judge himself.

That is to say, the censor wrote a letter saying: Chen Mu is a big fool.

If this handwritten book was not kept by the emperor, Chen Mu had to write a letter to tell himself: Chen Mu is not a big fool.

From the magistrate to the governor’s and governors’ departments, as well as members of the cabinet, and censors, you have to go home to rest as soon as the court verifies that it is okay, so you can go back and continue working. There is no punishment for officials.

Because Emperor Taizu gave them the power to report the news.

But Wanli felt that it would not work in his time.

"It's not that the news is not possible, but that I can't do it."

In the Qianqing Palace, there was a small square table on the low dragon bed. Wanli, who was cross-legged, held a teapot and filled the three tea cups on the table one by one. He squinted his eyes and whispered mysteriously: "I think the teacher intends not to let me know these things, but it is said that the officials are in a bad mood."

In addition to Wanli, the attendees of the Dragon Bed Tea Party in Qianqing Palace also included Lu Wang and eunuch Wang An.

Xiao Lu Wang looked at the teacup with bright eyes, his calves were intertwined; Wang An sat upright with his whisk in his arms. In fact, neither of them could understand what the emperor was saying or what the emperor was thinking, so he could only nod and respond to the emperor slowly.

Wang An, who is a few years older, is better than Wang Lu, and he can still speak: "Why did grandpa say this?"

"The news was reported, Grandpa Taizu decided, but there was such a problem in Hongwu year? No. Why did the atmosphere get bad when my grandfather and father?"

Wanli is very good at finding problems. He asked and answered himself: "The teacher only said that the atmosphere was bad and all officials had problems, but this is not the reason why censors changed from reporting to the party today's party's controversy. There is no such reason in the world... He thought I didn't know, I knew it."

As he said, the emperor who lived in all directions said quietly: "Because someone saw that Mr. Xu used a censor to defeat Master Yan, the teacher and Mr. Gao beat Master Xu, and the teacher beat Master Xu, the teacher beat Master Gao, the teacher beat Master Gao again."

"I have settled the accounts for the Ministry of Personnel. Yes, it's just like helping the Ministry of Revenue to settle accounts. At the beginning of each struggle, several groups of censors were convicted for their words; when the dust settled, some censors would recommend them to various people, and the cabinet agreed to them and re-enter the court, and their official positions were higher than before."

Wanli raised his eyebrows at King Lu, pushed the teacup over, and said, "Everyone thought I didn't know that this trend was ruined by them. Of course, it was not only the censors who had problems. They talked to them, but also the censors who were rewarded afterwards."

"As long as the first one is rewarded, they will continue to do so. Originally, he would rather be a censor than stay in the capital and be an official, but now no one is willing to let go. It is a chore to let go. In the capital, he only needs to catch up with a cabinet struggle and stand in the right position for a few years, he can be promoted to the fifth rank."

After saying that, Wanli's expression was extremely proud. The little head raised and said, "They don't know. I have my eyesight and know everything!"

Don’t look at the pride he mentioned, he actually has any eyeliner. In fact, what he really wants to express is: I should have my own eyeliner.

In fact, in Zhu Yuanzhang's plan, censors are naturally the emperor's eyeliner. These people are low-ranking and powerful, young and vigorous, and have no problems that have fallen behind after struggling in the officialdom for a long time. They are just enough. Although they are separated from civil servants, they will become a member of civil servants, one day they will still return to the civil servant team.

They should be emperors by nature.

Of course, there is the most important point. Any official will know what kind of person the emperor he serves is.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave censors unprecedented power, but during the Hongwu period, it was the era when censors were afraid to hear the news... If the evidence was not conclusive, who would dare to say anything in the court, and if they were not done well, they would be skinned and hung in the yamen.

Zhu Di's era was similar. First, he had the power of Taizu, and second, his fourth uncle had killed all his nephews, so how could he be a fool?

The good official atmosphere has been maintained by the righteous deeds. People are no longer afraid of severe punishments and laws, but they cannot control Emperor Wuzong; the real watershed is Jiajing.

Emperor Daojun's introverted temperament and mysterious tricks of playing with power have caused the royal family to lose their natural eyes and ears.

"It's hard to take back people's hearts now! I must first establish my prestige, and start by letting the provinces study and study primary schools. Wang An, go to the military office to bring my book... Forget it, don't take it, I remember it's more than 270."

"Let the Ministry of Revenue builds roads while building primary schools. The official primary schools built should be different from social schools. Learn my textbooks and start a new imperial examination in two years... It's too long. The teacher has been in poor health recently. I have to take the power of the Ministry of Personnel into my hands before the teacher retires."

In Wanli's opinion, Zhang Juzheng's retirement was an excellent time. Before resignation, he could not blatantly ask Zhang Juzheng for this power. After resignation, it is very likely that the next prime minister would still hold on to Zhang Juzheng's past power.

All he had to obtain the power of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue during the period after Zhang Juzheng's resignation, which meant that his prestige would reach its peak.

It makes people say no doubt about his words.

Whether it is the cabinet or the ritual supervisor.

After thinking for a long time, Wanli asked Wang An: "Sili Supervisor is in charge of the seal eunuch. Are there any decent candidates in the palace? The teacher retires and Feng Dabaner has to leave. I have someone to choose the chief minister of the cabinet, but I don't know who can use the Sili Supervisor."

A decent candidate? This is a big trouble for Wang An. There are many decent people among the eunuchs. Perhaps not many of them are the Sili Supervisor’s supervisor, and they are all Feng Bao’s people.

Before he could figure out who could do it, the emperor asked and answered himself again: "Chen Ju can. He and Mr. Zhang are both proficient in foreign affairs, so he is really a good candidate."

"Gemaster Zhang?" Wang An thought about it before analyzing which Gemaster Zhang was. Among the several cabinet ministers, only Zhang Han was involved in foreign affairs, and said, "I'm afraid Zhang Han is not the opponent of Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing. This will make them more infighting."

"It's okay, Mr. Zhang doesn't have to fight with others at that time. As long as he can help me with a year or two, I can gain prestige in a year or two. What else can be more powerful in this world than establishing the three Guliangha guards?"
