Chapter 571 All the way north

Sun Chuanting's words gave Zhu Xu another idea, and he pondered for a while, and said, "Well, I will discuss this matter with the cabinet and the military department again." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoWhat do you think about political reform? ”

Sun Chuanting did not hesitate, and said directly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it should be decided quickly!" ”

"Quick?" Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Specifically." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty, political reform is a great plan for all ages, it cannot be delayed, it is necessary to show the firm determination of the imperial court, if it is delayed for a long time, not only hundreds of officials will have doubts, their minds will be shaken, and the subjects of the world will also distrust the political reform, increasing the resistance to implementation." Therefore, the minister believes that at this time, the emperor needs to show the world his rock-solid determination! ”

"Sure enough, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry......

Zhu Xu sighed lightly in his heart, this political reform has been delayed again and again, he just hopes to improve it as much as possible, but he ignores this level, and said: "Well, I have asked the cabinet to hold a meeting tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, to hold a meeting to finalize the political reform, and let the governors and governors leave Beijing." ”

Sun Chuanting could hear that the emperor was not very satisfied with this political reform, thought about it, and said: "Your Majesty, the political reform is not comprehensive, and it can be repaired slowly in the future, so there is no need to rush for a while." When going south, they can also take the opportunity to seize the handle, severely reprimand, and deepen the intensity of political reform. ”

Zhu Xu shook his head in his heart, if the first political reform cannot be perfect, it will be even more difficult in the future, he understands the sentence 'governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh', everything is in a hurry, you need to take your time.

Zhu Xu didn't say this sentence, otherwise it would hit the courtiers hard, skipping this topic, he began to ask about the specific situation in Liaodong.

Sun Chuanting has been in Liaodong for a few months, and the situation is very familiar, and he reported in person on 1510.

In the evening, Bu Mu Butai and Hai Lanzhu walked slowly in the imperial garden, followed by a group of palace eunuchs.

This is the privilege that Zhu Xu gave them after seeing Hai Lanzhu.

Although Bumu Butai looked at the dazzling rockeries and rare flowers and trees in the imperial garden, he was still thinking about today's things in his heart.

She couldn't figure out what the Ming Dynasty emperor was thinking and wanting, maybe no one in the world knew. Because what he does has always exceeded everyone's expectations, he is always so predictable, and no one can take a long-term view.

She still remembers that the Great Khan once said, 'The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has great wisdom in his chest, and he does not miss a single bit, and there is no one in the world who can compare'.

Bumu Butai didn't believe it, and this time she thought she could find out something, but she didn't expect that she hadn't even seen the face of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to complete what Huang Taiji explained, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky.

Hai Lanzhu was very pleased, looking at it in the imperial garden with a novel face, the whole person was a little more energetic.

Bumu Butai was unconvinced in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to watch the beautiful scenery, so he kept frowning and following Hai Lanzhu.

Naturally, Zhu Xu's every move in the palace could not be hidden, and when he heard the report, he only smiled faintly and continued to be busy.

Although he won't go to the cabinet of Wenzhao Pavilion tomorrow, he still has to grasp every move. What he was looking at in his hand was the agenda item sent by Bi Ziyan.

In addition to taxes, acres of land and household registration are also troublesome things.

Zhu Xu wanted to re-measure the acres of land as soon as possible, but the imperial court, even Bi Ziyan and others felt that they were in a hurry, and hoped to take their time, so they could only relax to 'complete it within three to five years'.

Regarding the re-registration of household registration and the accounting of the population of the Ming Dynasty, the opposition is also relatively large, and the main concern is that it will offend the gentry again and cause a greater backlash.

Zhu Xu knew that he was anxious, and patiently dealt with the ministers.

Liu Shimin came in from outside, handed over a notebook in Zhu Xu's space, and said, "Your Majesty, this is tomorrow's schedule." ”

Zhu Xu took it and looked at it, it was no different from usual, and thought for a while: "I have half an hour to come, I want to see Xu Guangqi." "What he cares about most now is the cannon, after all, at this time, 'the truth is within the range of the cannon'!

Liu Shimin pondered carefully for a while, and said, "Yes, the slave will send someone to inform Xu Shilang tomorrow." ”

Zhu Xu nodded, and said, "I'll go to the Yuzao Palace for the night tonight." "Although there is only one woman in the harem, Zhu Xu doesn't go there every night.

Cao Huachun answered and sent someone to inform.

It's about to be April, and the cold hasn't gone away, but the weather is getting hotter.

Early the next morning, the cabinet ministers, the six ministers, the squires, the governors of the provinces, and the governors all entered the Wenzhao Pavilion one after another, ready to start today's cabinet meeting.

Everyone knows that the political reform, which has been suspended for so long, is about to enter the next stage, so the atmosphere is extraordinarily solemn.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong sat at the front, looking around, more than 100 people, he looked serious, and did not give everyone a chance to discuss, and said directly, "It has been a long time since we discussed, we will not do any discussion today, vote directly, and win the minority with the majority, what do you think?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Sun Chengzong said, "It's the best." ”

"The lower officials agree." Come to the sect.

"The lower officials agree." Fu Changzong said.

"The lower officials agree." Zhou Yingqiu said.

"The lower officials agree." Xu Dahua said.

"The lower officials agree." Shen Xun said.

"The lower officials agree." Yuan Keli said.

With the approval of the cabinet and the six ministers, the governors and governors of the first cadre all changed their faces slightly, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

This means that the imperial court has reached an agreement and they are not allowed to refute it, not to mention, the emperor behind it must be on the side of the imperial court!

"The lower officials agree." River. Zhao Handao, the governor of the south.

"The lower officials agree." Mountain. Eastern Tour. Fu Huang Li Ji said.

"The lower officials agree." Mountain. Western Governor Zhang Ruitu said.

As the governors close to the imperial court responded, some governors also 'approved with the lower officials'.

Originally, the governors and governors who still had the heart to continue to 'argue' with the imperial court had to follow the 'lower officials' of the general trend at this time, and it was too obvious that they would be prone to accidents.

Bi Ziyan's expression was calm, he flipped through the book in front of him, and said, "Okay, let's start, today's first item, Da Ming Law, everyone has already read the revised herb." Those who agree raise their hands to the north, those who oppose to the south, now on! ”

Sun Chengzong and the others took the lead in raising their hands, and they all looked towards the back, to the north, which was the direction of the Qianqing Palace, which meant that nature was clear at a glance.

Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others raised their hands at the same time, all facing north.

The others followed suit, raising their hands and clenching their fists, facing north, in agreement.

In fact, there is nothing to say about the Da Ming Law, and now it is still a general outline, the operability is not strong, and there is nothing worth fighting for.

Bi Ziyan glanced at it, nodded and said, "Okay, unanimously approved." ”

His voice fell, and Xu Jie, the cabinet secretary not far behind him, quietly recorded, and on the other side of him was the celebrant and the inner supervisor, who also picked up a pen and wrote it down silently.

Bi Ziyan waited for a while, and said, "Article 2, the cabinet system, everyone knows the details, this official will not waste time, let's vote now." ”

Cabinet, this appeared because Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, although the Ming Dynasty did not explicitly list it, but it has actually existed for nearly two hundred years.

There was also nothing to say, and a group of adults raised their hands to the north in unison.

Bi Ziyan glanced at it and said, "Unanimously passed." ”

Xu Jie and the internal supervisor quietly recorded, without any movement, and did not dare to alarm anyone.

But everyone else is vigilant, this is to be presented to the emperor!

"Next," Bi Ziyan looked around and said lightly: "Jingzheng tax law." ”

This tax law contains too much, grain tax, mining tax, salt tax, commercial tax, etc., among which the grain tax includes 'the official gentry pays taxes as one'!

This article is also the most sensitive one in a series of political reforms, and it is the most controversial, and even now there is still a stir outside the palace.

"The lower officials agree." Fu Changzong was the first to say. He is the secretary of the household department, although he is no longer responsible for taxes, but his weight is weighed by everyone.

"The lower officials agree." Zhou Yingqiu said.

"The lower officials agree." Yuan Keli said.

……

"The lower officials agree." Zhao Han said.

"The lower officials agree." Qian Longxi said.

"The lower officials agree." Wang Sanshan said.

The six departments of the cabinet, as soon as the governors raised their hands in unison, 'agreed', and the number of people was far more than half in the blink of an eye.

The rest looked at each other in a daze, very resistant in their hearts, whether out of selfishness or public intentions, they all thought that the article 'gentry paid taxes' was out of place, and wanted to argue again.

But when they hesitated, the prisoner of record stretched out his head to look at those of them who had not raised their hands.

The faces of this group of people changed slightly, and then their faces stiffened, and they raised their hands with difficulty, heading north.

The inner supervisor retracted his head and continued to record.

Bi Ziyan looked at it again, and he was secretly relieved, even if there was one opposition, it would damage the majesty of political reform.

Bi Ziyan's expression was excited, he glanced at Sun Chengzong, and said, "Fourth, Jingzhengtian mu system, vote!" ”

The two most important systems of Jingzheng Tian Mu are the re-registration of the field mu and the other is the measurement of land. Neither of them would be accepted by the gentry.

This is also a very controversial thing, but there is a grudge agreement.

It is still the cabinet, the six ministries lead, others and some people follow, in the face of the general trend, even those who oppose it have to raise their hands to the north.

"Pass! Next,"

Bi Ziyan glanced at it and said, "The regulations of the clan, the eighteen rules of honor, and the method of using the palace ...... Vote together. ”

The amount of the palace is stipulated to not exceed one percent of the previous year's tax silver, and the clan and the nobles are meaningless, anyway, they are now effectively abolished.

The adults all raised their hands to the north, and there was nothing to talk about.

Bi Ziyan was also clear, and then voted on a few less important ones, and then changed the conversation and said: "Let's vote on the six departments, the restructuring of the Governor's Yuan, and vote on the Governor's Yuan first." ”

This sentence fell, and the entire lobby fell silent.

This Governor's Court is different from the previous Metropolitan Procuratorate, the expansion of its authority has frightened the hundred officials, the adults of the imperial court are worried that it will evolve into a second Jinyiwei or Dongchang, and the local officials are worried that it will become a decapitating sword hanging over their heads at any time!

This is specially designed by Zhu Xu for the current erosive physique, specially supervising the officials of the world, and naturally has a bloody murderous aura.

Bi Ziyan didn't give these people time to react, and said lightly: "Let's start voting." ”
