Chapter 680: The Deep in the Emperors Heart
There is a very realistic problem among this.
That is...human nature!
The world is bustling with people, all for profit, and the world is bustling with people, all for profit.
Looking at the world, how many officials are truly dedicated to serving the people?
Even in later generations, in that era of extremely developed information, officials' dominance and bureaucracy cannot be avoided, let alone this era.
Any policy, even the best good governance, can easily become a channel for officials to scrape oil from the people.
The more officials contact the people, the more opportunities they will have to exploit them!
This is almost inevitable truth.
The fundamental purpose of governing without doing anything is to avoid officials from having too much contact with the people and to minimize the chances of human nature doing evil.
Today, Daheng has a central government system and a lower-level power sinking, which is obviously completely contrary to the small government system that governs inaction.
The court can manage everything, and wants to manage everything!
This means that the court's policies can reach the grassroots level and can easily mobilize all the power in the world.
But it also means that the lower-level officials have a lot of opportunities to contact the people!
Even all aspects of the people are under the control of the lower-level officials.
Instead of the past, before the imperial power went to the countryside, the power was limited to the county level. Although the Lijia system was available, it was neither an official nor an official. Its significance was obviously completely different from the current officials.
Du Yinxi's comments are the core of it, and this is the reason why Daheng is now obviously...the control is too broad.
The reform of Lijia, the reform of land finance and taxation, the reform of supervisor education, and the system of state-owned banking and commercial banks, etc., the rights were reduced to the grassroots level. The people's birth, old age, illness, and death, either, there was the right to control the court, or there was the policy support of the court, and everything was inseparable from the officials.
Du Yinxi's memorial is not biased. Strictly speaking, it is more like a performance report, in the form of a memorial, telling the pros and cons of what he has seen and heard from countless people at the grassroots level in recent years.
One of the very realistic problems is that the orders of the court are issued. Whether good or bad, most of the officials they handle are not about how to complete the orders of the court, but how to seek the greatest benefit for themselves in it.
The emperor pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "In recent years, the three judicial departments have brought all the list of officials involved in the investigation and prosecution."
"Slaves obey the order."
Er Dezi took the order and waved his hand, and several eunuchs followed him quickly.
The emperor sat alone, leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers slowly tapped on his thighs, and his thoughts flew with each other.
Policies are divided into pros and cons.
The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, and can overcome the disadvantages caused by the disadvantages and can be implemented.
Comparing Daheng's big government system with the small government system is that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
The disadvantages of this are undoubtedly that the bad nature of the officialdom or human beings have been difficult to avoid since ancient times.
But this disadvantage has to be solved, even if it cannot be solved, it must be suppressed.
The emperor has also struggled at the bottom and is very clear that the power at the bottom, no matter how inconspicuous it is, even if it is just a lowest-level official, it is still an unattainable heaven for the people of the grass!
This is difficult to reverse in this official society, whether in the past, present, or future.
As the emperor's thoughts circulated, soon a large stack of lists were placed on the emperor's desk.
Looking at the thick stack of rosters, the emperor couldn't help but frown. What he wanted was the roster, but it was not the case file!
Just the roster, just such a thick stack, you can imagine how many more officials Daheng has investigated and dealt with in recent years!
“When did this start?”
The emperor frowned and asked.
Erdezi quickly replied:
"Report to Your Majesty, it has been since the first year of Zhaowu."
Hearing this, the emperor's frown slowly relaxed. He picked up a book and read it clearly. The officials' names, positions, regions, what they committed, and years.
As time passed, the emperor also read it page by page. Knowing that the twilight outside the hall had already arrived, the emperor put down the last book of the roster.
It is obvious that all the officials who have been dismissed cannot do without the word "profit".
Officials and officials, officials and merchants, officials and farmers...
The whole world is covered with various interests.
It is also obvious that only a small part of the person being investigated will always be a small part, and these small part are still only insignificant people.
Without a major change from the imperial center, those with high positions and power in the interests will never be investigated.
Of course, local rights are so high that they care about, and what they care about is no longer simply "profit", but fame and fortune!
Just like the emperor himself, would he care about simple profits?
Obviously not.
The same is true for the important officials of the court. The simple profit has no meaning to them.
As a great minister, he is in charge of the world's politics. What he cares about is to display his ambitions and dominate the world, and his reputation is left in history.
But to achieve this, it is naturally impossible to rely solely on one person's strength. Just like the emperor relying on himself, it is impossible to establish Daheng. In order to stabilize Daheng, no matter how great the emperor has, he will always turn a blind eye to his foundation... Wu Xun.
The same is true for the important officials of the court. In order to gain a foothold in the court and to show their ambitions, there must be a series of complex factional interests behind them.
You will inevitably turn a blind eye to your own factional interests and will inevitably have some protection!
This is also an inevitability that cannot be violated.
"call……"
He casually closed the list and the emperor breathed a long sigh.
When he came to this world, Li Xiu, who was the supreme position in the world, has died. Now, from his psychology to physical principles, he only has one identity, that is, the founding king of Daheng, Emperor Zhaowu!
When he reached this point, his only thought was to make the people of this nation live a better life, to prevent the misery of future generations, and to allow this nation to stand proudly on the top of the world in the future, and to be the unquestionable country of the Celestial Empire.
Only in this way can the nation's self-confidence last forever, and the worship of foreign countries will never appear. It is even more impossible to completely Westernize it.
Under the only thought, Du Yinxi's comments touched the emperor's heart.
The events of the Six Dynasties were just for private plans.
People in the world are all moving for profit.
There are too many deeply rooted policies of the emperor, which are against the general trend of the people and sacrifice the interests of a few people who have the most resources and rights to benefit the majority of people who have no resources and rights.
Even if this person's heart is contrary to the hearts of a small number of people, the hearts of most people in the world are obedient and agree with the emperor's plan.
But... the so-called "those who win the hearts of the people will win the world," this people never refer to the lowest-level people.
Since ancient times, dynasties have changed again and again. Even though most of them are caused by the people and are triggered by the people, how many people will eventually win the world?
How many of the new world are those who are the old world who are powerful and blessed?
The people who dominate policy decisions are never the people. Even if the people who dominate policy decisions are born,... people's ideas will change with the position of their butts.
There are often betrayals, but there are too few people who betray the class.
He is still able to support him. If one day he is gone, even if Daheng still follows the path he paved, his inner self will inevitably deteriorate...
