Zhu Cihong smiled and nodded, "What Mr. Hou said is extremely good, the law of the imperial court to discuss and govern has been practiced for many years, and it is indeed easy to make chaos if it is suddenly changed, but now it is not possible to change it."

As soon as the imperial court was in turmoil, there were not many officials who followed to Dagukou, and most of the officials stayed in Beijing to rebel and are now being clamped...... Relying only on the courtiers who came to Dagukou could not support the original pattern of Nuoda no matter what. Therefore, we can only reform politics to streamline the scale, and at the same time make the responsibilities and powers of each ministry clear.

Second, now is the world of great contention, the world is divided, and my Daming is only one of them...... The first priority of the imperial court is no longer to rule the world, but to fight for the world! To govern the world, we should use benevolent government, and to fight for the world, we must use domineering deceit. The thieves are treacherous and cruel, and if we want to defeat the thieves, we must be more treacherous and fierce! ”

All right! The fox's tail is exposed! Chongzhen thought to himself: I know that you are more treacherous and fierce than the rogues and Tartars, if the world falls into your hands, will it still be good?

Zhu Cihong lowered his tone: "If we are not traitorous and fierce enough, we will lose the country!" The palace and the father are naturally martyred, and everyone ...... Hehe, I have to catch Li Zicheng and torture him! ”

"Chitose Yeguo is a wise king!" Donglin boss Hou Sui said loudly, "Today is a troubled era, and the imperial court can indeed no longer be peaceful and benevolent, and should be the hegemon of the great struggle!" This is not a violation of the ancestral system, but to protect the ancestral inheritance...... Presumably, when the ancestors were fighting for hegemony in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, they would not blindly practice benevolence and righteousness!

It seems that the move to eliminate the shortcomings and refresh the politics is really necessary for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty! It's the government of the great good! ”

What the? Is this the government of the good? The rebels didn't say how to reform! Chongzhen was stunned, and then he figured out that Hou Sui was originally colluding with Zhu Cihong! He was a traitor who formed a party for personal gain, and it was not wrong to put him in prison back then!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Wei Zaode, the first assistant to the cabinet, asked at this time, "I wonder how His Highness is going to change the law of discussion and governance?" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled, and his eyes slowly swept over the crowded officials in the lobby - there are still quite a lot of officials!

He smiled and raised his voice: "This is an extraordinary time, and the rules of the early dynasty must be changed...... It doesn't have to be so many people coming. There are five elders, six Shangshu, Shilang, the left and right imperial history, the four guards of the Generalissimo's Mansion and the officials named by the palace can go to the court. It doesn't have to be too early, just go to court on time. ”

What? That's it? Don't even have to come to Jiuqing? And it's still so late to go to court...... Emperor Chongzhen's spiritual head is up again, this prince is too lazy, right? And there are so few courtiers in the last court, how can they listen to each other? This is to become a faint king!

And the rules of the last dynasty are very important ancestral family laws! How can it be easily changed? And it's too hasty to change it here in Dagukou, right?

How did Emperor Chongzhen know that Zhu Cihong's reduction of the number of court officials and the postponement of the early court were well thought out.

There must be many traitors in the Ming court who don't do their jobs!

If Zhu Cihong is as diligent as Emperor Chongzhen, well, he will see more than 1,000 traitors every day before dawn, and it will be a morning when he sees him, and sometimes he will be busy until the afternoon. A Ming monarch against more than a thousand traitorous ministers...... If you don't get angry with them, you will be tired to death. Do you really think that your Taizu Emperor Gao can deal with more than a thousand with one person?

And what can more than 1,000 people discuss at the conference? Don't let them vote by raising their hands, isn't it Zhu Cihong who takes the idea? The gossip is annoying.

In addition, so many traitorous ministers will hinder each other and tear each other down - in fact, the duty of officials is to restrain and dismantle each other, such as the ministers who "give advice", that is, officials like the Six Departments and the Imperial History of the Procuratorate, basically do this.

Restricting imperial power or something, it was all history lovers of later generations who put gold on the face of the Ming Dynasty! These "admonishments" do things that make things more chaotic, that is, to make trouble for the courtiers who do things.

Moreover, the nature of their trouble-seeking is different from that of parliaments in later generations of parliamentary politics, which is in charge of legislation, not of the executive. "Giving advice" is a courtier, that is, an administrative official of the government.

The essence of this practice of letting government officials cause chaos for the heads of government and ministers is that the imperial power is not confident, does not trust the courtiers, and is afraid that the courtiers will form a party for personal gain, and deceive the holy people - of course, for a faint monarch like Chongzhen, the "giving advice" system also needs to exist, because Chongzhen is an otaku who grew up in the deep palace since he was a child and knows nothing about outside things. His judgment is very problematic and easily blinded......

And Zhu Cihong himself is so treacherous, so he doesn't need to "give advice" to add chaos, so he decided to see a few traitors every day.

The usual court will have five scholars (also Shangshu) plus a military secretary Chen Rui, plus twelve squires, four guards, and two of them are all Yushi to participate, a total of twenty-four courtiers, at most a few more as needed, Dingtian is about thirty, even if they are all traitors, it is easier to deal with. The court meeting attended by 30 courtiers was actually a "state council" that could really discuss state affairs.

This is the most important reform! Because in the future, all reforms will be discussed and implemented by this "Council of State"!

As for the other Beijing officials, they will do a big visit twice a month, and just meet with everyone.

Because there are few people to see, there is no need to go to court before dawn early in the morning. It is enough to have an hour to discuss major policies, and it is almost over at noon, and there is no delay in lunch, and there is also time for immorality, how good!

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "This is just the Chang Dynasty, in addition to the Great Ginseng, which is held on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar new year every month, and officials in Beijing can attend...... I won't do it here in Dagukou. The palace is too small to accommodate so many of you!

If there are no objections, the elders, Shangshu, Shilang, Zhishizhong, Wei Shuai, Du Yushi, as well as foreign officials other than the Duke of England, the Duke of Chengguo, and the Bo of Xiangcheng can all be dispersed. ”

How is it possible that there are no objections? Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself that there would always be one or two loyal ministers who would stand up......

"The ministers have no objection......

The ministers all got up to pay their respects, kowtowed to Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong, and then there was no need to leave the officials who had a small court meeting, they all turned around and came out - Wei Zaode and Hou Sui had already greeted the party, whoever talked a lot would stay at Dagukou and wait for Li Zicheng to torture it! If you don't have any opinions, the prince will arrange for you to leave first as soon as possible, and go to the safety of Dengzhou to stay first, how good!

Now Emperor Chongzhen is dumbfounded, why did you leave? Why didn't any loyal minister stand up and argue for it? Although the rebel here in Dagukou covers the sky with one hand, and the rebel will soon recover Beijing and become the lord of Zhongxing, you can still stand up and fight for it! Even if you accompany your life, you have to defend the ancestral system!

You were all very troublesome when you were in Beijing, why are you so well-behaved now?

Chongzhen watched everyone leave like a low tide, and his heart was cold.

It turns out that all the ministers are really the ministers of the dead country! Originally, I thought that after arriving in Nanjing, I could have the help of loyal ministers in the capital. Now that Beijing is about to recover, it is estimated that it will not move south......

The big tomorrow will soon fall into the hands of the traitorous ministers!

Seeing that the ministers had no objections, Zhu Cihong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, in the dangerous situation of Dagukou, everyone wants to leave quickly, which can make such a major reform break through! If you want to go to Nanjing and change it again, it will be a big trouble.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Chongzhen, who was sulking on the throne, with the corner of his eye, and saw that he had no intention of leaving, so he didn't open his mouth to drive people away, but directly discussed with the courtiers.

"Before the start of today's small pilgrimage, the palace will also announce a rule, from today onwards, those who speak above the court will not be guilty! Imperial historians and civil and military officials are not allowed to be impeached on the basis of the suggestions of internal and external officials at court meetings, nor can they be held accountable for the inappropriate words of officials. ”
