Chapter 5 The New Cabinet
Chapter 5 The New Cabinet
According to the practice of officialdom, most of the charges of corruption and dereliction of duty are not punished with three glasses of wine. But most of the time, it is not the death penalty.
It is as if it is now, if some cases were judged at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, starting from the sub-district offices, a large number of officials would not be able to escape peanuts.
Generally speaking, Ming officials are dismissed and sentenced to ransom, or distribution. As long as it is not involved in major political events, it is rarely cut off.
Therefore, according to the meaning of the Criminal Department, most of these officials who have found problems are just dismissed. A few may be in jail time.
But according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, they and even their families can't escape the big package of family ruin.
Li Xian would never dare to nod his head for such a thing.
The reason is very simple, this is still based on the current punishment standard, and if the officials found out are handled according to the Daming Law, it will be several times more officials in the world to be found. More people to kill.
The officials are uneasy, what will the court do?
Li Xianwan refused to do what Zhu Qizhen wanted, and he also didn't want the emperor to repair the Great Ming Law.
The emperor wants to cultivate the law, what is his intention? How could Li Xian not know.
The emperor's idea of changing the ancestral system, Li Xian has always opposed it, but this opposition is more about hiding needles in the cotton and soft with steel.
Zhu Jianjun carefully read the changes at home and abroad in the past one or two months, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really not easy for my father. ”
It's just that Zhu Qizhen doesn't think so.
Just when his son who was far away in Lanzhou felt that his old father was suffering, Zhu Qizhen was in the Qianqing Palace, scrolling "Da Ming Law" and reading it carefully.
to the situation of the whole country. It seems to be deaf.
At the beginning of the twenty-third year of Orthodoxy, that is, last year.
Zhu Qizhen adjusted the cabinet. I also understand one thing, maybe it is more comfortable to find an obedient subordinate as a leader. But if you want to make a big business, you have to choose the best talent.
It's just that every top talent is not easy to get along with. They all have their own ideas, if they can be subdued, it depends on Zhu Qizhen's own wrists.
However, Zhu Qizhen has confidence in himself.
Now the new Cabinet has confirmed this.
The first assistant of the cabinet is Li Xian, the second assistant is Yang Hong, the second assistant of Changguogong, and then Liu Dingzhi, the minister of finance, and Luo Tong, the minister of soldiers. Minister Wang Yonghe. As for the original bachelor Jiang Yuan, he was sent out by Zhu Qizhen.
Went out to the governor of the northeast and controlled Liaodong, Haixi, and Korea.
On the one hand, Jiang Yuan's ability is not valued by Zhu Qizhen.
Although Jiang Yuan is ranked last in the cabinet, it does not mean that the ranking in the cabinet represents the right to speak in the cabinet.
If the cabinet is ranked in no particular order, it is false.
But if the cabinet is in front
The minister, you will definitely be able to suppress the ministers behind, that is also fake.
Except for Shousuke, no one is a head taller than the other. Those who have the ability may not be able to stand up for the first assistant. And Jiang Yuan made himself very unexistent.
In the past, he could still be in the cabinet, but now that Zhu Qizhen wants to do big things, he naturally can't stay.
On the other hand, the Northeast does need an important minister to sit down.
Wang Ao, the elder of the Three Dynasties, can no longer support it. But after the establishment of Dragon City, the most important thing is to be able to do it step by step. Establish an effective system of governance over a large area of land in the northeast.
It's more important than winning one or two battles.
With the current situation in the Northeast, the manpower and material resources are weak, and if it is divided into three provinces, it will not be good, so Zhu Qizhen set up the post of Governor of the Northeast.
It is not permanent, too.
When the development of the Northeast is good, it will naturally be divided into three provinces.
Jiang Yuan also undertook a secret mission, that is, to change the Korean state to Haedong Province.
In order to eliminate the will of the Koreans to resist, Zhu Qizhen has determined that in the future, Pyongyang will be divided into Haedong Province, while Pyongyang will be divided into Haedong Province to the west, and Haexi Province to the northwest.
However, Jiang Yuan's station was not in North Korea, nor in Haixi, nor in Liaodong, but in Jilin.
This Jilin is not Jilin Province, but Jilin City.
This was originally the location of the imperial court's shipyard on the Songhua River, and was inhabited by Han people. And Zhu Qizhen's important task to Jiang Yuan was to open up the Northeast Plain, build a city along the line of the Songhua River, and recruit the people to Tuntian.
Of course, some of the health centers that migrated from the interior will also open up one after another along the Songhua River.
Now that there is Dragon City on the front line, the strategic form in this area is very safe.
However, due to the climate, it will take several generations to build Tohoku into a granary. During Jiang Yuan's tenure, it was enough to make the cities between Zhaozhou City and Liaodong connected.
The focus of Jiang Yuan's attention is that the three cities of Zhaozhou, Songyin, and Jilin are encircled in a triangle of land, from Jilin to Songyin is Changbai Mountain, and from Zhaozhou to Songyin is Songhua River.
The Songhua River, on the other hand, flows northwest from Jilin, west of Zhaozhou City, and turns back to the east. This is now part of Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province.
It was also placed under the jurisdiction of Liaodong Province.
Further north, it is the Nuer Gandu Division that still maintains the establishment, but it has occupied a large amount of land by the two establishments of Liaodong and Haixi, and then to the northwest is the Mobei Capital Division, which is under the jurisdiction of the five guards of Longcheng. A little further southwest, it is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Monan.
This is a specially appointed governor of Zhu Qi Town.
Governor Daning, Kaiping, Dongsheng and other jurisdictions.
The appointment and dismissal of this post is also temporary.
Zhu Qizhen is still unsure of what to do in the southern Mongolia area, whether to carve out a province, or to belong to Shanxi or Liaodong.
This thing can be put aside for now.
After all, although the rule of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland has made some progress, it is not yet to the point of being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The transportation network of the Ming Chi Road is spread all over the three places, and there are various settled grazing spots along the Chi Road. This is the time when the three places are truly grouped into one province.
The two university scholars added by Zhu Qizhen are also different from before.
Zhu Qizhen's previous supplement was to find a way to choose someone who could do things obediently and was willing to agree. But this time, Zhu Qizhen was unusual, and the people he promoted were all old ministers, and they were still more temperamental than the other.
One is Wang Wen, who was promoted from the appointment of the secretary of the ministry.
The other is Liu Qiu, who has been sitting in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for more than ten years.
Speaking of which, Wang Wen is certainly an old minister, but also a capable minister, and the local center has done it. is extremely capable, and can support big things, but what really makes Zhu Qizhen feel some headaches is Liu Qiu.
Liu Qiu has served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for more than ten years, and he doesn't know how many times he has made direct remarks, and his name is famous all over the world. If you really want to talk about it, even if it is Yu Qian's reputation and his reputation, it is only between the best.
It is nothing more than Yu Qian doing more practical things, and his reputation is mostly in various places, while Liu Qiu speaks for the world's Shilin, and his reputation is mostly in Shilin.
If it is really prestigious, Liu Qiu can enter the cabinet many years ago.
It's just that Zhu Qizhen felt that after Liu Qiu entered the cabinet, he was afraid that he would delay his work, so he kept Liu Qiu in the position of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and supervised the world, and Liu Qiu did a good job.
But now, this time and that time.
Zhu Qizhen understands more and more one thing, some things can be done willingly, such as fighting with the tile spur to the end, as long as the military has support, Zhu Qizhen can completely leave the civilian officials aside.
But if you still do this, you will be looking for death.
Even if Zhu Qizhen used his prestige to suppress this matter, in the end, he could not escape the death of the people, or forcibly turned the change into a party dispute.
Therefore, Zhu Qizhen changed his course, preferring to summon the most stubborn opponents into the cabinet, find a way to unify his thinking first, and try to make most people in the court sincere and willing to implement Zhu Qizhen's new policy.
If that doesn't work, it's not too late to think of other means.
It's also a salute before a soldier.
It's just that Zhu Qizhen feels very difficult. However, Zhu Qizhen felt that with the White Lotus Sect Li Tianbao rebelling, Zhu Qizhen finally won the first game with difficulty.
The revision of the Ming Law is already an inevitability, because the cabinet cannot bear it, because this kind of stalemate in the court has greatly affected the normal government affairs of various places.
Concessions are bound to be made.
But Zhu Qizhen doesn't care, or it can't be said that Zhu Qizhen doesn't care, he can bear it.
