Chapter 1636

Li Bai and Wei Zhuang are different.

Li Bai belongs to the romantic school, the kind of person who is"drunk if you have wine now", and he is relatively loose and free.

It’s okay to say yes.

It's neither good nor bad.

In prosperous times, this kind of person can easily make friends.

What's more, Li Bai is also talented.

But when there is something important, if you continue to be so wild, unrestrained, and unconventional, you may make things wrong.

Wei Zhuang, on the other hand, has entered Gui Valley since he was a child and learned the techniques of Gui Valley. He is a more rigorous person and has a very good view of the overall situation.

In the entire Song Dynasty, there were countless places that he had infiltrated.

Some people are impressed by Wei Zhuang's charm.

Some people were persuaded by Wei Zhuang.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current capital of Song Dynasty has a bleak future.

Either it was slowly annexed by other princes or kings, or it was annexed by the attacking Yun army.

So many people were moved when they came into contact with Wei Zhuang.

Then he was deceived by Wei Zhuang's words.

Suddenly, I couldn't hold it any longer.

So he secretly took refuge in Yun State.

Of course, there were also some loyal people who not only refused to join the Yun Kingdom, but also insulted Wei Zhuang and King Yun.

In this case, Wei Zhuang would not be polite.

Since you are seeking death, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Wei Zhuang killed him without mercy.

Then he pretends to be a martial artist and robs.

Not to mention, when Wei Zhuang became a martial artist and robbed him, Wei Zhuang actually found bad money and things.

Some officials, in particular, have quite a lot of things in their collections.

Most of them are poor officials.

They have character themselves, so they disdain corruption.

There are some literati, although they have no money, but they have other collections.

Wei Bi and Xue Juzheng really had a headache for a while.

They sent people to pursue Wei Zhuang and others, but it was difficult to find their traces.

Among these people, there were not ten, but five historical celebrities who died at the hands of Wei Zhuang.

Some of them are not particularly famous.

Some are relatively famous and have left a great reputation in history.

For example - Zhang Tingyu.

This person is the Minister of Rites of the Song Dynasty and the second-in-command of the Ministry of Rites.

Originally Zhang Tingyu wanted to go to Zhao State.

But before he could take action, Wei Zhuang and others found him.

Wei Zhuang and others selectively selected people based on their positions.

Zhang Tingyu was very unfortunate to be selected.

Zhang Tingyu is quite powerful. He was a famous politician during the Qing Dynasty and his life experience was very legendary.

It’s just that old age is miserable.

Zhang Tingyu was the second son of Zhang Ying, a bachelor. In the 39th year of Kangxi's reign, he passed the Jinshi examination, was promoted to a commoner, was awarded a review, was admitted to the South Study Room, and entered the center of power.

In the Kangxi Dynasty, he was promoted to Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, where he rectified the administration of officials.

In the last years of Kangxi, when official administration was lax and politics was unclear, Zhang Tingyu, then serving as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, resolutely abandoned the practice of asking for bribes, severely punished the treacherous and slippery officials, and withstood the pressure from all parties to severely punish the officials who played tricks in the Ministry of Civil Affairs."Zhang Huhu" was called"Fuhu Shilang" by his contemporaries.

Zhang Tingyu first started from a small place and plugged all the loopholes.

Because he was deeply trusted by Emperor Kangxi, he served as co-examiner for three times, which was almost unmatched at the time.

It is easy for ordinary people to accept benefits when serving as examiners. Even if they do not receive benefits before the exam, after the exam, the admitted Jinshi students will give gifts to their teachers as disciples as a thank you, which is called"Wan Jing". This was a common phenomenon at the time. , is also a supplementary income in addition to the conventional salary.

And Zhang Tingyu not only refused to give gifts before entering the palace, but also only accepted some symbolic gifts from his disciples after graduation, and never received large sums of money.

He encouraged himself and his disciples with the story of Zuo Guangdou, a fellow villager: Zuo Guangdou was a famous official in the Ming Dynasty. When he took the provincial examination in his early years, he came to thank Chen Dashou, the master of the house, with a beautifully bound card in his hand. Chen Dashou received him and encouraged him a lot. However, he refused to accept his invitation, thinking that the post was too luxurious, and warned him to"act frugally today, and be an upright official in the future. If you don't stand on tiptoe, you will be unprepared later."

Zhang Tingyu held Chen Dashou's behavior to himself, and at the same time warned his disciples that honesty should start from small things:"If you do not be careful, you will eventually suffer from great virtues."

It was this kind of spiritual behavior that Kangxi highly valued.

After Emperor Yongzheng came to the throne, he successively served as the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Hubu, and the Minister of Officials. He also served as the Grand Scholar of Baohedian, that is, the chief minister of the cabinet and the chief minister of military aircraft, etc., and perfected the military aircraft department system.

Very powerful.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, the old system of the pre-Ming Dynasty was followed. When officials had something to report to the emperor, they used inscriptions for official matters and memorials for private matters.

The title copy is sealed, but the memorial copy is not.

Both of these documents are public, which is not conducive to the communication of personal feelings to superiors; moreover, the procedures for writing the question book are cumbersome and can easily leak secrets.

During the Yongzheng period, Zhang Tingyu institutionalized memorials. For slightly more important matters, local officials would draft memorials first, and only after Emperor Zhu approved them would they write inscriptions and make official reports.

However, the contents of Zhu's comments in the memorial must not be written into the title book. The title book thus became a formal document, and the memorial replaced the original title book and became the main official document. This system lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Tingyu also formulated a complete confidentiality system. In order to ensure that the contents of the memorial would not be leaked, the Qing court established a complete set of confidentiality systems to further improve the memorial system.

Since then, the memorial system as an official document system has been established.

It not only involves the implementation of imperial decrees, but also concerns the distribution of power between monarchs and ministers.

Its establishment, like the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department, was a major change in the bureaucratic politics of the Qing Dynasty and had a huge and far-reaching impact on the politics of the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
