Chapter 162: The Idea of Abolishing the Six Divisions of Nanjing

That is to say, although the names are different, the governor of Fengyang is the governor of Anhui, and the governor of Jiangnan is the governor of Jiangsu.

The name is different, but the reality is the same.

Wang Zhi secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: "It seems that Your Majesty is going to let me stay in Nanjing for a long time." He asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I checked the six departments in Nanjing, and there are many shortages, isn't it? ”

Wang Zhi once served as the secretary of the ministry, and he also had an impression of the number of officials in Nanjing, he said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, according to the ancestral system, the number of the six departments in Nanjing is the same as the number in Beijing, but the six departments in Nanjing have no major events except for the military department and the household department, so there are many vacancies. ”

"After Your Majesty set up two governors, there will be fewer things in the six departments of Nanjing."

Nanjing No. 6 is not completely without trouble.

The Sixth Department of Nanjing is also responsible for the government affairs of Nanzhili, as well as the transportation of Cao Yun, as well as the guards in the southern places, the maintenance and construction of palaces in Nanjing, and the memorial to filial piety.

But overall, this workload cannot be compared with that of the Beijing Sixth Division.

Moreover, in addition to the six departments of Nanjing, there are also a series of yamen, it can be said that there are yamen in Beijing, Nanjing has them, only some of the new yamen after the relocation of the capital, Beijing does not.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Qing is in Nanjing, collect Nanjing's capable personnel in his hands, and let him continue to be short of other ministries in the south of the shortage, and when the number is too small, he will ask me to cut this yamen." ”

"In this way, when the Nanjing Sixth Department is abolished in the future, there will be little movement."

Zhu Qizhen understands one thing, that is, some things, the more urgent they are, the easier it is to have accidents, but if you take your time, you can do it well.

That's what happens slowly.

For example, if Zhu Qizhen immediately announced the abolition of the Sixth Department of Nanjing in the imperial court, it would definitely be an uproar and an endless war of words.

But now it has been tightened from the intake, and it has become a fact that Nanjing has been short of more than half of the staff, and then it has been laid off at a time. Naturally, there are much fewer turmoil.

Wang Zhi said: "Your Majesty, this matter is good, but in what name does the minister sit in Nanjing?" ”

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "Let's use Nanjing to stay behind and annex the Nanjing Military Department." In the future, the Nanjing Left-behind Mansion will be in charge of Nanjing's military and political affairs. ”

When the king heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "The minister will never dare to accept the order. Nanjing is our division of the dynasty, and the military and political power cannot be entrusted to one person. ”

Zhu Qizhen listened, and Zhu Qizhen didn't care too much about this matter.

The reason is simple.

After the split of Zhu Qi Town, Nanzhili has been divided into two provinces, and there is only one government left in Nanjing.

Nanjing's importance has declined, and in essence, Zhu Qizhen has solved Nanjing's threat to Beijing. Nanjing enjoys a special status for political reasons, though.

But it's not the original Nanjing.

It's just that what Wang Zhi opposes is also a matter of principle.

The so-called ancestral law, even if Zhu Qizhen cares, he wants to maintain this system.

No matter where it is, it is necessary to divide power, ordinary provinces, it seems that the governor covers the sky with one hand, but the political envoys under the governor, according to the inspectors, all command the envoys, can pass the governor to play the court, and the governor cannot cover the sky with one hand.

In the border towns, it seems that the general army is weighted, but the general army, the eunuch supervising army, and the civilian officials are also separated and balanced by each other.

It can be said that as long as Zhu Qizhen doesn't mess around, it will be difficult for high-level officials to rebel anywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

The system of Emperor Taizu has always followed the Ming and Qing dynasties, which shows that the wisdom of China's power checks and balances can be described as profound.

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said: "It's okay, the Duke of Wei is in Nanjing, and the soldiers and horses in Nanjing are in charge of Wei Guogong, and Mr. is in command." If you are interested, you can also write a statute for staying in Nanjing, so that I can know it in my heart. ”

The relationship that Zhu Qizhen said is like the relationship between the military department and the governor's office of the five armies.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies led the troops, but they could not send troops without an order from the Ministry of War. Checks and balances with each other.

And Zhu Qizhen also knows that even if Nanjing is stripped of Nanzhili's government affairs, there are still many affairs to be done, at least the affairs of Xiaoling.

Therefore, this Nanjing stay-behind is definitely not the prefect of Nanjing.

Wang Zhi said: "The minister understands. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sir, don't worry, this thing is done, I will let Mr. come back." ”

Wang Zhi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Although Wang Zhi said this, he did not believe it at all.

The reason is simple

Political promises are like bullshit, maybe Zhu Qizhen is telling the truth at this time, but after a few years, maybe something will change.

At that time, maybe Zhu Qizhen is willing to let Wang Zhi come back.

But are the cabinet members willing to let Wang Zhi come back?

Wang Ji is a lesson from the past.

At that time, he just wanted to win the battle and come back, who knew that he would become the governor of Yungui. This is a good indication that the plan has not kept up with the changes.

Wang Zhi took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, on the occasion of parting, the minister has something to play, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sir, please speak." ”

Wang Zhi said: "Your Majesty should be the intention of the old minister, and the old minister has no intention of humiliating the dynasty with his relatives, but now it is really not a matter of fighting with the thorns." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he frowned slightly in his heart. He didn't want to hear Wang Zhi say this. Whether you want to or not and whether you do it are two different things.

Now the wood is complete. It is imperative, that is, it is useless to break the sky.

Wang Zhi also knew this, and said: "The tile spur is unruly, even if the big war is inevitable, Your Majesty should also sit in Beijing, send a general to lead the plug, the Beijing camp army and the tile spur battle, the British Duke, the Chengguo Duke, the Marquis of Baoding, are all good generals of Taizong, to leave Your Majesty, Your Majesty's personal trust, enough to ensure a great victory, never abandon the country and the community, personally lead the six armies out of Beijing." The minister is not afraid of the tile spurs to attack, and the tile thorns are not enough to shake the dynasty, but His Majesty is the king of ten thousand times to fight the thief, but he puts the great tomorrow in a place of danger. Your Majesty, please think carefully. ”

Zhu Qizhen listened and said: "Please rest assured, sir, I know that in the way of using soldiers, I can't compare to the first emperor in my life, let alone Taizong?" ”

"I won't do it myself."

Needless to say, Wang Zhi said, Zhu Qizhen would not have personally recruited, after all, the change of Tumubao was as disgusting in Zhu Qizhen's heart as eating fruit and eating half a worm.

Of course, he believes that things have developed so far, and this matter will not happen, even if he drives the expedition in person, without Wang Zhen's chaotic command.

Even if the battle is lost, there will be no extreme situation of being captured.

But Zhu Qizhen has decided that there is a shadow in his heart, in case there is any historical correction, there is already some inexplicable power, so Zhu Qizhen decided to stay in Beijing honestly and not to take risks.

Wang Zhi was also relieved when he heard Zhu Qizhen say this. Wang Zhi is also very clear about the comparison of national strength, as long as Zhu Qizhen does not personally conquer, even if he loses a few battles, it may not be a big deal. After all, Da Ming has a thick foundation and can afford to lose.

After Zhu Qizhen explained, he personally sent Wang Zhi out, looking like a monarch and a minister.

No one can see that Wang Zhi is going to stay away from the center of the government.

After Wang Zhi returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, he found that there was a deathly silence in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Wang Zhi thought about it, and still entered Cao Nai's duty room.

Cao Nai is still reviewing the folds.

But it was the Yanzhou Mansion that asked for free food.

This kind of performance is just a approval on Zhu Qizhen's side.

But Cao Nai's work is to weigh the numbers, and he must be clear about the situation in Yanzhou Prefecture, the number of people, household registration, population density, and the disaster situation.

It must be arranged properly, and the court should not be allowed to spend too much.

Cao Nai was considering the number.

Wang Zhi saw that he was about to close the door of the duty room first, but was stopped by Cao Nai, and said, "Brother Wang, just say anything." The major affairs of the court are not planned in the dark room, this is the truth that Dongli Gong taught me at the beginning. ”

The little eunuchs who served in Wenyuan Pavilion were all the eyeliners of Dongchang.

So whatever happened here was very secretive to Zhu Qizhen.

The two cabinet scholars, locked in the duty room, retreated left and right, closed the doors and windows, and talked about something? It's so reverie-inducing.

Therefore, when Yang Shiqi talks about things with people, he always opens the door of the duty room, and never closes the door to talk about things, Cao Naiyi inherited this.
