Prime Minister, this is the Prime Minister!

Countless officials shouted in their hearts, how could they not have thought that this thing that disappeared from the beginning of the country would reappear one day. In the late Ming Dynasty, the cabinet scholars had the fact of the prime minister, but there was no name of the prime minister, and they were able to enter the cabinet with the title of bachelor only five grades, this unworthy of the name of the situation, so that the cabinet ministers and the six books of the book from time to time to have a confrontation, especially the head of the six departments who was jokingly called the heavenly officials, the secretary of the book, often had a dirty relationship with the cabinet.

Now, the rank of university scholar has been promoted to a grade, and it has been affirmed by the emperor's decree that it is the center of government affairs and the head of the central government, which is a proper prime minister's position!

After the emperors of all dynasties ascended the throne and took office, there would be some reforms, and after the Emperor of the Apocalypse released some rumors through Fang Congzhe, most of the officials were mentally prepared, but they never thought that this big change was so big, and it was beyond their imagination.

The position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet was directly established.

Regardless of the shock and confusion of the ministers below, Zhu Youxiao still kept announcing his system reform, it is best to be the emperor, you can decide everything in one word, especially now that there are many high-level officials vacant, there is almost no opposition to his decision.

Fang Congzhe was about to go to the office, and the other two cabinet members rebelled and went to the edict prison, Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was arrested, Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Nanxing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and a series of Donglin party members were arrested, so that a large part of the high-ranking officials of the imperial court were missing.

The majestic voice continued to sound in the main hall.

Zhu Youxiao's restructuring is not only to improve the status of the cabinet, but also to take other measures. First of all, the status of Dali Temple was raised to the same level as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the administrative system of later generations was one government and two courts, the State Council representing the government, as well as the Supreme Procuratorate and the Supreme People's Court.

The functions of the Ming Dynasty's Metropolitan Procuratorate are basically similar to the Supreme Procuratorate of later generations, but it is not subdivided enough, and it is not set up to the place, and the status of the Dali Temple is much worse than that of the Supreme Court.

After that, Zhu Youxiao stipulated that the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple would work separately, and would not accept the interference of any other organs except the emperor, and independently exercise procuratorial and judicial powers. Subsequently, he announced that the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple would be set up in the localities, and the local administrative yamen at the county and provincial levels would be set up step by step.

After a crackling call, Zhu Youxiao finally stopped talking, and he himself was dry at this large paragraph, and he roughly described the administrative system of the government and the two courts he designed. As for the more detailed design of the government, and even the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Office to change the Metropolitan Governor's Office to the Metropolitan Governor's Office, he did not come up with a plan to collect military power, and he had to do the same thing, and he couldn't be too impatient.

The current planning of the government and the two houses alone is enough for these bureaucrats to be busy.

When Zhu Youxiao stopped drinking tea, the officials who had been silent finally broke out at this moment, and the buzzing discussion sounded instantly, and it was very noisy. Regardless of their rank and not being able to participate in this change in the state system, they are also full of shock and talk to others, and they can't think of any other way to vent their emotions except to speak loudly.

It's a good feeling.

Zhu Youxiao squinted his eyes slightly, and couldn't stop enjoying it, a kind of emotion of scolding Fang Xuan and agitating words couldn't stop hovering in his chest, now the vast earth, my lord ups and downs.

Everyone is discussing, only Fang Congzhe lowered his eyes, neither moved nor talked with others, he is the one who wants to be a leader, there will be a twist and turn after this court meeting, at this time, the court, oh no, just now the emperor changed the name of the court to the empire, and in the future, the empire will refer to the country and the court. The people and events of the empire in the future have nothing to do with him anymore.

The Ming Empire, hey, this title is still quite uplifting. Fang Congzhe thought faintly in his heart, for some reason, he suddenly felt a faint sadness, the hero is late, the beauty is white, it is probably like this.

After the hundred officials discussed for a long time, from high to low, gradually calmed down, at this time they have regained their calm, how excited they are here, can not change the facts, the most important concern at present is not the change of the system, but who will sit in these positions.

After quieting down, everyone stepped forward to stop it, even if they were as upright as Yang Lian, and they all waited quietly for the emperor's later articles. No one is a fool, and the emperor's proposal for restructuring at such a grand ceremony as the Great Dynasty Meeting shows that he attaches great importance to it and has a firm and unchangeable attitude.

What's more, there is still the Red Pill case waiting on the side, for this kind of case that can threaten him at this moment, every official pays attention to it, and there are quite a few people who have not finished the review and are locked up in the Imperial Prison, if it is not in line with the emperor's wishes, who knows which guy will change his tone and the confession will involve himself. This kind of ghost trick, all the officials who have been in office for a long time are not proficient.

Of course, there are also those who are not afraid of these, such as Yang Lian, such as Sun Chengzong. The former did not speak because he believed that the emperor's actions were in accordance with moral and legal principles, and he should not oppose them. As for the latter, he saw the imperial court, oh no, the empire, and saw that the empire was weak and corrupt, and it had reached the point where it had to be changed, and he was not surprised no matter what the emperor did.

"Ahem!"

After the scene quieted down, Zhu Youxiao coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then continued to announce his decision, but what he said was not the drama they wanted to hear, the candidate for cabinet ministers.

"The ministers of the Cabinet shall be decided by the emperor at the word of the emperor, and the members shall be five members of the cabinet shall be appointed for a five-year term, and shall be replaced by the emperor until the expiration of the five-year term, and shall not be replaced until the expiration of the term of office without major mistakes. In the cabinet, the chief assistant is the chief, and the rest are subordinate to it, the first assistant is in charge of the general, and the rest are in charge, or the emperor assigns tasks. The first assistant may be re-elected, but not more than two terms, and as for other auxiliary ministers, there is no provision. ”

"At the beginning of the current cabinet, the staff is vacant, and it will be filled up according to the routine." Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao paused, and this pause happened to be stuck in the hearts of the officials. They raised their heads one after another, ignoring even the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, and stared intently at the emperor's young face.

"The first assistant of the cabinet, Fang Congzhe, has been resigned a few years ago, so all personnel are newly appointed by me." Zhu Youxiao's words came out, and it was another piece of news that made the officials' hearts skip a beat. Just before they could react, Zhu Youxiao's voice poured down without pause, making them dizzy.

"Li Ruhua, the secretary of the household department, Sun Chengzong, the assistant director of the Beijing camp, Cui Jingrong, the secretary of the military department, Huang Kezhuo, the secretary of the criminal department, and Wang Zuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, these five people have increased their bachelor's titles and entered the cabinet to manage politics." Speaking of this in one breath, Zhu Youxiao suddenly stopped and groaned.

He was thinking about the title of scholar, and before that, scholars had the prefix of palace pavilion to show the difference and status, such as Dongge Scholar, Wenyuan Pavilion Scholar, Wenhuadian Scholar, Wuyingdian Scholar, etc. But Zhu Youxiao didn't want to use these old names.

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Li Ruhua is a scholar of Zhongge University, the first assistant, Sun Chengzong is a scholar of Dongge University, Cui Jingrong is a scholar of Nange University, Huang Kezhuo is a scholar of Xige University, and Wang Zuo is a scholar of Beige University. Once the Cabinet is established, the five ministers should immediately get up and move their offices to the Mandarin Palace. ”

His name is very simple, with the southeast, northwest, northwest and middle as the number, add a pavilion word to become, since it is a cabinet minister, naturally use the pavilion word, with the palace word is not very consistent. Moreover, the southeast, northwest, and northwest, which symbolize the four directions and the center of the empire, are consistent with the status of the ministers, and they are simple and clear, so this is naturally used. The order of its arrangement, except for the central cabinet sitting in the center as the first assistant, the others are arranged in the natural order of people's mouths.

As for the names of the other four scholars, there are only five members of the cabinet this term, and there is no need to wait until the second term to announce them.

Zhu Youxiao's list is very simple, except for Sun Chengzong, the others are the remaining four Shangshu students who have become cabinet ministers. He didn't carefully pick and compare, anyway, under the new things he wanted to advocate and implement, the officials of this era reacted similarly.

Moreover, the office space of the cabinet has also been changed to Zhu Youxiao, the previous cabinet was in Wenyuan Pavilion, but it was the royal book collection, full of various books and regulations, and naturally left the office space and small. Now that the status of the cabinet has been improved and its authority has been demonstrated, it is not suitable to stay there any longer, so Zhu Youxiao moved the office of the cabinet to the Wenhua Palace.

Of course, he also has another consideration in this, directly opposite the Wenhua Hall is the Wuying Palace, and in the future, Zhu Youxiao's institution to collect military power is planned to be located here, and the civil and military affairs are opposite, divide and rule, this is his future national policy. The status of the warriors of the Ming Dynasty was too low, and it was seriously contained, so it was time to change one or two.

As soon as the list of five personnel came out, the hundred officials were in an uproar, and they were very surprised, surprised by the emperor's hasty determination of personnel, and only raised the remaining Shangshu up to one level. Even the few current cabinet ministers who are standing in the front row, quite full of anticipation, are a little unbelievable and incredulous. If you don't believe it's that simple, you will become the prime minister.

Even Li Ruhua, who was unwell and planned to recuperate after the New Year, his eyes widened, he never thought that he would get a cabinet minister and a minister when he was old, and it was also an extremely important position of the first assistant, which was simply pie in the sky.

Once appointed, he threw his original plans out of the clouds, full of emotions to be the head of the Empire's auxiliary ministers.

"Are you unwilling to wait for the other five? Don't hurry up! Looking at the stunned group of officials below, Wang Chengen took a step forward under Zhu Youxiao's instructions and shouted loudly.

"The ministers obey the order, and they will go to the Wenyuan Pavilion relocation site."

The five of them walked out together and immediately received the order of thanksgiving, and as for the answer, Li Ruhua, a scholar of Zhongge University, answered, and the others just followed suit. Just like that, inadvertently, the order status of several people was established.
