Chapter 148

In the second year of the opening of the Ming Dynasty, the war of unification was still continuing.

The rebellions that emerged one after another did not form a climate, and even many rebels were eliminated by Dongchang before they could be launched.

Dongchang is rude and can even be said to be pervasive. So that everyone in the world is in danger, but the lives of ordinary people are getting better and better, how many people are killed every day in the new dynasty, and how many angry things are done, it seems that it has never burned on their heads.

On the contrary, the rice in the bowl is increasing day by day, and I can still eat dry rice.

Above the court, Guo Jia was in charge of government affairs, assisted by Li Ru and Tian Feng.

Zhang Lie sat on the high dragon chair and listened briefly to Guo Jia's handling of recent government affairs.

"Prime Minister, if unification has become the overall situation today, it will be difficult for any rebels to become a climate. We are in contact with the current high-pressure situation, otherwise everyone is in danger and it is difficult to put all their energy into work. ”

When the next minister said this, he looked at the tyrant sitting on the dragon chair with trepidation, for fear that his words would displease him. If he gets angry, then his little life will be explained here.

Although he had already left a suicide note to his family before he came, his words tomorrow and today will definitely anger him with that tyrant, and it is even possible to splash blood directly in the hall. But if it has become a trend to return to the Ming Dynasty today, it is difficult for the former Han to have the power to return to heaven. In this case, so as not to follow in the footsteps of Qin and the aftermath, the second will die, causing the world to fall into war again. He thinks it is necessary to remind His Majesty that it is irreversible for Da Ming to become the co-master of the world, so let's give everyone six ways to live.

Guo Jia listened to this person's words and looked at Zhang Lie, and he also agreed with this person's words. Not for myself, but for this new country. If you stay in this state for a long time, I believe it won't be long before you will be chaotic again.

"Majesty? You see? Guo Jia asked in a low voice.

If today's unification is imminent, for this world, Zhang Lie naturally cannot give up. This will be his greatest dependence, so the greater his power here, the greater his ability in the future.

The main reason for the previous series of behaviors is that he has no foundation, if he doesn't do that, he will be vain and wronged by the other party, and he will not want to settle down in a short time.

It's almost the same now, Zhang Lie thought about it.

"Where is Cheng Yu?"

Cheng Yu had not followed Cao Cao before, and a small official, after Zhang Lie ascended the throne, directly ordered Dongchang to search for these people all over the country, and brought his own conscription order.

At the beginning, there were also high-ranking people who spoke wildly and looked down on Zhang Lie. But with unification on the horizon, there is no such person. Even the old stubborn Tian Feng, the old guy who was going to accompany Yuan Shao's funeral, agreed to be recruited, not to mention the others.

"Wechen Dali Temple Qing Cheng Yu is here!" Zhang Lie looked at this old man of destiny, although he is not young, his life span is not short, and he can continue to work for more than ten years.

"In my Ming Dynasty, what are you doing? Are you used to it? Zhang Lie asked Cheng Yu like a homely person.

Not only did Cheng Yu not expect Zhang Lie to ask this, but even the courtiers were like this.

After he lost his mind for a moment, he said, "Ruyi? Weichen has been valued by His Majesty, and he is in charge of the position of Jiuqing in the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and he has only repaid His Majesty's kindness. ”

Cheng Yu is right, women are honored for those who please themselves, and those who are confidants die. Cheng Yu has been running around all his life and is depressed, but he didn't expect that he would be recruited by His Majesty when he was in his fifties. originally thought that even if he went to the imperial capital, he would only be a small official. Unexpectedly, after Zhang Lie's investigation, he was directly awarded Dali Siqing, and he could only be conscientious and live up to His Majesty's attention.

"I have decided to set up a cabinet to be responsible for the affairs of the world. Guo Jia was the first prime minister of the cabinet, and Li Ru and Tian Feng were the prime ministers of the cabinet. ”

As soon as Zhang Lie finished speaking, everyone was shocked, knowing that this was the new emperor's reform of the bureaucratic system, and someone wanted to stop it, but they opened their mouths and shut up again. It is useless to know that it is useless to talk too much, and even something will happen.

Guo Jia, Li Ru, and Tian Feng were shocked, but they also knew that the decision made by Zhang Lie was difficult to change. What's more, in their minds, the so-called Prime Minister of the Cabinet is similar to now, but with a different name.

"Under the Cabinet, there are the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Education, the Minister of Land and Resources, the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Civil Affairs, the Minister of Public Security, the Minister of Supervision, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs!"

After Zhang Lie finished speaking, everyone was shocked, this is to completely reform the officialdom system. At the same time, I think about the position and function that these names are for.

"Your Majesty, isn't this action too big!" Guo Jia was shocked, Zhang Lie hadn't told him before at all, and he brought it up rashly, which made people unprepared at all.

Zhang Lie shook his head and continued: "The eight ministers of the cabinet are nominated by the three prime ministers of the cabinet and reported to me. ”

As soon as Zhang Lie's words came out, the court was even more shocked, and at the same time, Guo Jia, Li Ru, and Tian Feng immediately knelt on the ground, which was a huge temptation, and it was also fatal.

"Your Majesty, please take back your fate, we can't wait for this!" You know, this is not a petty official, if these people want to be appointed and dismissed by the prime minister, then they have too much power.

Zhang Lie ignored them and said, "The term of office of the prime minister is four years, and he can be re-elected for two consecutive terms. Each Cabinet Minister may nominate members of his or her own Cabinet. ”

Guo Jia and the others saw that Zhang Lie didn't listen to them at all, and they heard that they only had a term of office of 8 years at most, and they were a little disappointed, but they were also happy.

"I have a rough division of the functions of the various ministries of the cabinet, and how to divide them at that time will be discussed by you and the other three."

After Zhang Lie said this, he looked at Cheng Yu who was kneeling below. Just talking to him, suddenly turned to the topic of the cabinet, Cheng Yu still knelt there, motionless.

Everyone saw Zhang Lie staring at Cheng Yu, thinking about the division just now, it seemed that there was no Dali Temple in charge of Cheng Yu. Everyone looked at Zhang Lie in shock, and then turned to Cheng Yu. They were just shocked, but now that they think about it, although the cabinet has a lot of things, it seems that it can't manage a lot.

"Shengdali Temple and the cabinet are side by side, not under each other." As soon as Zhang Lie finished saying this, everyone was shocked. This is to mention Cheng Yu to Guo Jia's position all of a sudden, you must know that Guo Jia defected to Zhang Lie early in the morning. Zhang Lie can use him so much, and everyone doesn't care. But Dali Temple is juxtaposed with the cabinet, think about the power of the cabinet, Dali Temple must also be a huge institution.

"In the future, the functions of the government at all levels will be similar to those of the cabinet, and they will only be responsible for local government affairs. The trial of all cases will be conducted in Dali Temples in various places. Dali Temple at all levels of operation, the government has no right to intervene in the affairs of Dali Temple, the superior Dali Temple has the right to supervise the lower departments, Chang'an Dali Temple is in charge of Dali Temple throughout the country. In addition, the death penalty must be reported to the Dali Temple in Chang'an for review, and the execution can only be carried out after the review is passed. ”

As soon as Zhang Lie's words fell, everyone looked at Cheng Yu in shock, they all knew who Cheng Yu was, if this was the case, Dali Temple would really be outside the court, and his power would be extremely huge.
