Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Everyone looked over to see who was saying no. When they saw it was Yu Yingkui, Ma Shangshu asked in confusion: "Why not?"

"Zhang Shoufu always considers the overall situation when doing things, and he doesn't like scholars to gather in groups. What we have done is against Zhang Shoufu's wishes. We still ask for instructions. The result is self-evident." Yu Yingkui said slowly.

When Ma Shangshu heard this, he frowned and weighed the pros and cons in his mind. The Imperial Hospital is an institution under the Ministry of Rites. Replacing and recruiting imperial doctors is a matter of its own duty. There is no need to bother the cabinet with trivial matters. This matter has made the Imperial Hospital a meritorious service.

He had made meritorious deeds, but as for Zhang Shoufu's attitude, he really couldn't figure it out and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Xu Chunfu saw Ma Shangshu was in trouble and quickly persuaded him: "Ma Shangshu, if this is done, it will be remembered in history. Just imagine that a hundred years later, everyone will sing its praises and every family will have a shrine. What a great merit it will be!"

Gong Tingxian also followed up and said: "This is a routine matter. If it succeeds, the credit goes to the minister. If it fails, the fault will be shared by us and the doctors."

"We, the doctors, are willing to share the responsibility!" Yang Jizhou and other doctors agreed.

Seeing this, Master Ma finally nodded and was willing to go and say hello to the foreign officials.

At this time, the cabinet officially issued a document to the Ministry of Personnel to make the results of this external inspection public.

Zhang Han, the Minister of Rites, was promoted by Zhang Juzheng. He followed Zhang Juzheng in everything. After receiving the official document, he immediately called Shen Shixing, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Shen Shixing was just transferred from the right minister of the Ministry of Rites to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites this year, and his teacher

It is Zhang Juzheng.

Therefore, Zhang Han always consults Shen Shixing when he encounters problems.

Soon Shen Shixing arrived. After being greeted by Zhang Han, he read the official document. After reading it, he was surprised and said, "Is this really what Teacher Zhang meant?"

Zhang Han nodded solemnly and ordered: "You will bring someone to convey the message. Commend what should be commended and arrest what should be arrested. Don't be afraid. Zhang Shoufu and I will be your backing."

Shen Shixing bid farewell to Zhang Han, took the documents, found the official, and hurried away together.

More than 4,000 foreign officials gathered in the North Hall of the Joint Pavilion. Shen Shixing represents the Ministry of Civil Affairs and there are also people from the Department of Science and Technology. They will jointly announce the long-overdue results of the foreign inspection.

"Jihai, the first month of the fifth year of Wanli:..." After Shen Shixing read this, he saw that everyone was slightly surprised, so he did not stop and continued to read: "...I am here to dismiss Mr. Liu and eighty-three others."

After hearing this, everyone started talking.

"Isn't Jihai on the first lunar month nine days ago? Did I pronounce it wrong?"

"I have been worried for so long, but I didn't expect that the results would come out long ago."

"A false alarm, a false alarm!"

"I don't know how much to be demoted if I don't know how to pick up the remains?"

……

Amid the discussion among the people, Shen Shixing planned to continue talking about promotion and rewards, but when he saw that everyone was looking at the person from Ke Dao, he smiled and backed away.

A representative from the Sixth Section came out and announced: "In view of the results achieved in the past three years, Zhang Shoufu has instructed to reduce the number of scavengers. A total of seven people have been submitted to be dismissed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

As soon as these words came out, the venue became very lively. Of the more than 4,500 officials, only 90 people were dismissed. Ninety-eight percent of the people were spared, completely suppressing the voices of the 90 people who cried to the sky and the earth.

Press it down.

After a while, Shen Shixing continued to step forward and said: "Finally, I will speak on behalf of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In the past year, with the joint efforts of my colleagues here, the annual income reached more than 4.35 million taels, which was more than 2.5 million taels five years ago.

, an increase of 1.85 million taels, and the fiscal revenue and expenditure were evenly balanced, leaving a balance of more than 850,000 taels, reversing the long-term fiscal deficit."

Everyone was silent after hearing this. The national finance has indeed reversed its losses. God knows how much effort they have put into these more than 1 million taels.

The facts listed one by one by Shen Shixing and his sincere words gradually aroused the echo of some officials who are sincere in their work. Lu Kun is one of them. From scattered to concentrated, his voice gradually resounded throughout the audience.

Seeing this, Shen Shixing spoke even harder, and finally moved the whole audience. The dissatisfaction and humiliation brought about by passing the law at this moment were so humble that they were not worth mentioning in the face of the country's honor and disgrace.

They all come from all corners of the Ming Dynasty and are well aware of the changes brought about in the past few years. They just resented Zhang Juzheng's domineering behavior and attributed the achievements of Longqing's reforms to Gao Gong.

Whether it was the Longqing Dynasty or the Wanli Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng was a member of the cabinet and the core of the reformists, which has never changed.

Ten years of reforms have initially yielded results, which particularly touched the officials who experienced the end of Jiajing. It took only twenty years to turn chaos into order.

Shen Shixing looked at everyone's expressions and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was always worried that blind toughness would bring about absolute backlash, and what he had to do was to help Zhang Juzheng ease the natural conflicts with the officials.

Not only him, but also Lu Tiaoyang, Zhang Siwei in the cabinet, Tan Lun, Ma Ziqiang and others in the Sixth Department.

Zhang Juzheng was the only one who was tough from beginning to end. He conquered the opposition all over the world and used the examination method to force him to do things. And they, Zhang Juzheng's partners, were all around him like stars holding the moon.

In the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng listened to the news from the secretary and smiled with satisfaction.

At this time, the eunuch of the imperial dining room led a group of eunuchs to come with food boxes and said to Zhang Juzheng: "This is a reward from your majesty. Prime Minister Zhang and all of you, please use it with care."

Shen Shixing of Huitongguan had already roughly explained the promotion and transfer of officials. At this time, Ma Shangshu and Xu Chunfu of the Ministry of Rites arrived hand in hand, informing the officials about the recommendation of medical officers of Taiyuan Hospital and asking them to go to Beijing in the autumn. After everything was completed, the officials dispersed.

In the next period of time, I will go to the staff department one after another to make the handover, and then I will be able to take office.

While Zhang Juzheng and others were having a meal, Shen Shixing came to reply. Zhang Juzheng called out: "Rumo is here, come and have a meal together!"

Shen Shixing took his seat and gave a brief report on the external inspection work. Zhang Juzheng had already heard the report once before, but he still asked questions carefully.

Zhang Juzheng said: "The affairs of the world are not difficult to legislate, but difficult to implement. It is not difficult to listen to what is said, but difficult to say what is said. Since the law has been implemented, the imperial court's orders have been followed day and night, and this is the only reason why we have such a situation.

Rumo, do you have any experience?"

Shen Shixing said respectfully: "The teacher's skill in controlling people is as pure as fire, and the students admire him!"

However, Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "This is not the art of controlling people. Within the ability, and above the key positions, we should pay attention to the merits and talents, and only use them. For other positions, we only focus on the efficiency of words, deeds, and results.

.No matter who I employ is close to the hometown party, regardless of past faults, as long as he can handle state affairs and is courteous to the king, I will definitely use him."

"Students are taught." Shen Shixing said respectfully.

"For the sake of government, Xun officials should be valued and Qingliu should be used with caution. Remember, remember! Hai Rui, Wang Shizhen and others are well-known in the country, so I won't use them. Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, and others can do their job, so I will use them. This is the principle

!"

As soon as Zhang Juzheng said this, the three of them stood up immediately.
