Glancing at Chen Sihai, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Since you say so, then I naturally have no reason to refuse." ”

"That's it. You go back and hand over the affairs of the General Administration Department, and then go to the Internal Government with Ou Dalun to set up the Tax Division! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Sihai was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly agreed.

After Chen Sihai left, Zhu Youxiao sat on the chair, the expression on his face was a little hesitant, and at the same time there was some hesitation.

He didn't know if what he was going to do next was something he should do now.

Sighing softly, Zhu Youxiao was not in a good mood.

This matter is a bit big, but he hasn't thought about whether to do it yet, after all, this matter is too wide-ranging, but now is really the best time; If you don't do it, you may not have such a good opportunity in the future.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao rubbed his temples and said to Chen Hong: "You go and find the British Duke for me." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong agreed, and then smeared oil on the soles of his feet and went to find someone.

In fact, what Zhu Youxiao wanted to do was very simple, that is, to set up a yamen similar to the Military Aircraft Department to reuse the power of the nobles; At the same time, find something for civil officials to do, don't let them always point the finger inward, and give them a little pressure from the outside.

Zhu Youxiao planned to take advantage of this opportunity, which could be regarded as a reward for Xungui and appeased them. In addition, it can be regarded as winning over and dividing the nobles.

Next, Chen Sihai and Ou Dalun must be able to find out something. These two people are not people who deal with errands, and they will definitely do things well, then they will find out a large number of nobles and relatives who have done wrongdoing, and they will be severely punished when the time comes.

The purge of the nobles and relatives has reached the point where it is imperative.

But if you don't reward you for the rectification, you will lose the hearts of the people, and the people below will be panicked, and many things will not be easy to do, so you should give some benefits to win it over.

This yamen, which is preparing to be established in the newly established Military Aircraft Department, is a benefit given by Zhu Youxiao.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao also has some worries, that is, are the nobles willing to do it?

If the nobles are not willing to do it, then things will go badly, and it is not the way to get ducks on the shelves; If they're willing to do it, then it's a lot better.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao wanted to ask the British duke, the head of the military. If the British public is willing, there will be no big problem on the side of the lord and the lord, otherwise there will still be a lot of trouble.

Soon, the British Duke came.

The mood of the British Duke is quite good, and although today's court deliberations are not a great success, they have also sabotaged the attempts of the civil officials.

I can not succeed, but you can't succeed either. That's what the British Duke thought, and now his goal has basically been achieved.

"Your Majesty." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Weixian hurriedly bowed down and said.

"Okay, Aiqing will be excused." Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian and said with a smile: "I brought Aiqing here today because I want to discuss something with Aiqing and want to hear Aiqing's opinion." ”

Zhang Weixian was stunned for a moment, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has something to order." ”

"I want to restore the old system of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and I want to hear Aiqing's opinion." Zhu Youxiao said in a flat tone.

But just such a bland sentence set off turbulent waves in Zhang Weixian's heart.

Not because of anything else, but just because of the four words of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

The so-called Dadu Governor's Mansion was actually established by Emperor Taizu.

It was in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, imitating the Privy Council system of the Song Dynasty, and the central government set up the Metropolitan Governor's Office as the highest military organ, controlling the national army, and having both the right to command and transfer troops.

In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, in order to disperse the military power of the central organs and avoid the harm of "the power of the ministers holding the troops", the Metropolitan Governor's Office was changed to the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Five Armies, which only had the right to command the troops, and the right to transfer troops belonged to the Ministry of War, and the two powers were separated.

In terms of civil service, Emperor Taizu abolished the prime minister; In terms of military generals, Taizu abolished the Dadu Governor's Office. It was precisely because of these two policies that the power of Emperor Taizu was strengthened.

The yamen of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has only existed for 20 years, and the Ming Dynasty has been around for more than 200 years, and no one has mentioned this yamen at all.

Everyone knows why this yamen was abolished in the first place.

Now His Majesty actually wants to re-establish the Metropolitan Governor's Palace?

What does Your Majesty think?

Zhang Weixian knew that His Majesty was asking himself at this time, and he couldn't figure out that the Metropolitan Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was himself. How could this not make him excited?

But Zhang Weixian's heart was also very hesitant, because this matter was too big, and he might burn his butt if he sat on it.

That's really a rack roasting position over a fire. Could it be that Your Majesty is just testing himself?

But if you test yourself, you can't use the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to test it, right?

"Today is just a private discussion between the monarch and the minister. Aiqing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian and said with a smile.

After Zhang Weixian heard this, he hesitated and said: "The Dadu Governor's Mansion that Your Majesty said, but the Dadu Governor's Mansion during the Hongwu period? ”

After listening to Zhang Weixian's question, Zhu Youxiao did not speak.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to restore the Dadu Governor's Mansion during the Hongwu period.

At that time, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Dadu Governor's Mansion in order to strengthen the imperial power. If he re-establishes the Metropolitan Governor's Office, it will be tantamount to going backwards.

The reason why the words "Metropolitan Governor's Mansion" are mentioned is nothing more than borrowing a name.

The intention of the establishment of the Metropolitan Governorate was actually to divide power from the civilian officials, and to take back some of the power from the civilian officials, especially the power of the cabinet.

It is impossible for Zhu Youxiao to make the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion another cabinet.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian and said, "It's not the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. ”

"And what does Your Majesty mean? Zhang Weixian asked cautiously.

"This is not so much the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion as it is another cabinet, but this cabinet is in charge of the military, serving as a staff officer and military aircraft, deploying yamen in various places in wartime, and speeding up speed and efficiency. After all, the military situation is like fire, and the current system is too weak and too slow. ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao say this, Zhang Weixian was not only not disappointed, but became excited.

If it was the original Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Zhang Weixian was really scared.

You must know that the first governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion was Zhu Wenzheng, the nephew of Emperor Taizu, who can be said to have made great achievements, but what happened in the end?

Confined to death.

The position of the Metropolitan Governor is simply a hot potato, it looks beautiful, but it is easy to die if you go up.

He is now the first person in the Ming Dynasty, and his family has been inherited for more than 200 years, which can be said to be extremely honorable and favored, and his status is also very high, so there is no need to take such a hot potato. If you bury the family for the sake of a metropolitan governor, you really can't do it.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Zhang Weixian did not dare to accept this metropolitan governor at all.

But what His Majesty said was different, and the nature of the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the Cabinet at this time was the same.

What was the nature of the Cabinet when it was formed?

It's nothing but His Majesty's staff body. Today, the power is very great.

If the military does the same, then this metropolitan governor's office is very powerful. It's important that you don't have to worry about being disposed of in this position, and that you can have a lot of power.

So Zhang Weixian settled down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Your Majesty said makes sense. However, the minister felt that there was something inappropriate. ”

"Oh, what's not quite right?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is inappropriate to call the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. If you want to call it the Metropolitan Governor's Office, it may be reminiscent of the former Metropolitan Governor's Office. ”

"But this is a new yamen, and there is no need to use the original name. First, calling a new name can give people a new feeling, taking the meaning of renewal of everything. ”

"Second, it is not called the Dadu Governor's Mansion, so as not to let some people have some messy ideas, after all, this was abolished by Emperor Taizu back then. So the minister felt that he could change his name. ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian, smiled with interest and said, "Then why does Aiqing think the name is more appropriate?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, since it's a staff officer's military affairs, why don't you call it a staff office?" Zhang Weixian glanced at Zhu Youxiao and said cautiously: "In the late Tang Dynasty, there was a staff officer position in the army, but most of them were hired by private people. ”

"Since Your Majesty wants to find some people to staff on military affairs, it is better to list them as permanent ones, choose people who can fight well among the hundred officials, and join the staff office as a staff officer."

"This name is simple, so that people can understand its meaning when they hear it, and at the same time, it can also let people know that this is just a place for His Majesty's staff and military aircraft, not a place to command and transfer troops."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Weixian in surprise, he really didn't expect him to be able to think of this name.

In fact, this name has always been in Zhu Youxiao's heart. Of course, in addition to the General Staff Office, Zhu Youxiao also has several other names, such as the most direct Military Aircraft Department.

However, in comparison, the staff office seems to be more lofty.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao said: "In this case, then it will be called the Staff Office." Since Aiqing has an idea, let's go back and write a note and send it in, and let's discuss it again. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Weixian hurriedly agreed.

"Okay, you go, this matter must be done as soon as possible, the New Year is coming soon, and there must be a result." Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian and commanded earnestly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will get it when he goes back." Zhang Weixian hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister retired." ”

Regarding the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Weixian couldn't be clearer. In these years, the size of your power is not determined by your official position, but by the distance between you and the emperor's relatives.

How did those eunuchs get up?

Isn't it because of a good relationship with the emperor? They can see His Majesty every day, and it is more convenient than others to tell the story of right and wrong.

If this staff office can be established, it will be the yamen that accompanies the king.

The Cabinet is powerful on the one hand because of the power it controls, and on the other hand because it is an important minister of His Majesty.

If the General Staff Office can follow His Majesty's side, although it may not have much power at first, as time goes by, it will gain more trust from His Majesty, and power will naturally come.

So in this matter, Zhang Weixian saw it very clearly, which is why he denied the name of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and renamed it the Staff Office.

The name of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is really too poignant.

The General Staff Office is much more low-key.
