Chapter 775: I see
Zhou Yingqiu knew what Lu Daqi meant, his heart turned, and said: "That's it, the rotation is advanced, as long as the qualifications and abilities within the six departments are sufficient, the review is ready to be released, and those outside Beijing are also transferred to other places, let them hone for a few more years first, it's not good ......to be too sharp."
Lu Daqi agreed with this method, but still hesitated and said: "The emperor is ...... over there."
The high-level officials in Beijing all know that the Royal Political Yuan is a place that Zhu Xu attaches great importance to, and those students are all those who he focuses on cultivating, and those who will enter the house in the future are all baby bumps, and outsiders can't easily move.
Zhou Yingqiu waved his hand and said, "I will report this matter to the emperor, you prepare first, and start after the year." ”
"Yes." Lu Daqi said. It's almost October, and it's really not a good time to make a big move.
The Criminal Department is still retrying the old Donglin case, these cases are tried one by one, once the sentence is re-judged in Dali Temple, even if it is a coffin, it will not be ripped over in the future.
Wanting to try these old cases, Zhang Wenda was also under tremendous pressure, some from above, some from below, some Donglin remnants were very happy at first, but they couldn't be happy later.
Zhang Wenda is now at home, sitting in the pavilion, drinking wine and reading some letters in his hand.
Opposite him was a middle-aged man, dressed in white with long sleeves, gentle and smiling.
"My lord, what are you worried about now?" The middle-aged man said with a wine glass.
Zhang Wenda put down the letter, shook his head, and said: "Donglin's matter exceeded my expectations, I am not justifying their names, I am making them an iron case, and they will never be able to turn over in the future......"
The middle-aged man took a sip of wine, nodded and said, "Yes, the adult's name has been affected a lot, and recently I have seen the most impeachment scripts in the General Political Envoy Division." ”
Zhang Wenda didn't speak, holding a wine glass silently.
He doesn't care about these, and now it's no longer popular to play the offensive, Emperor Jingzheng is too strong, and he can't talk about it. He is worried that those old people in Donglin, who were originally dedicated to the country, will become an 'evil party' because of him, and his stigma will be passed down for centuries and cannot be washed away.
The middle-aged man was very aware of Zhang Wenda's worries, shook his head and said: "Adults shouldn't care about this now, the emperor wants to add cabinet assistants, don't adults want to join the cabinet?" ”
Zhang Wenda glanced up at the middle-aged man and did not speak.
He knew the purpose of this person's coming, but he didn't have much ambition in his career, and this comeback was just because he was not at ease and wanted to do something, but he found that he couldn't keep up with this drastic change era, so he was even more unwilling to climb.
The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Wenda's expression, seemed to see it, and nodded slightly, "After all, Lord Wang is the secretary of the criminal department of the previous dynasty, and his qualifications and prestige are enough, if the adult can recommend it, it is very suitable." ”
The middle-aged man in his mouth is Wang Ji, the secretary of the criminal department during the Apocalypse, this person is Zhao Nanxing's ironcore, he couldn't bear the pressure in the third year of the Apocalypse, and he never came back later, and he didn't come back seven years later.
Zhang Wenda glanced at him and said, "This matter is Jian Zai's heart, and he told Lord Wang on my behalf, that you can die in peace, and don't forget the lessons of the past." ”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "The emperor is indeed eloquent and strategic, his eyes are like a torch, but he always has to use people, in the current 'new deal', the role of Lord Wang is irreplaceable." ”
Zhang Wenda still didn't speak, and the cabinet added ministers, which obviously aroused some thoughts in many people, and the capital was destined to have some dark waves.
Shen Xun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, does not have Zhang Wenda's troubles, he has always felt that he is alone, not friends or party.
At this time, in Honglu Temple, a group of people gathered, busy compiling the "Jingzheng Canon", this canon is a series of codes, sacrifices, rituals, etc. from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, to formulate a national code, Ming promulgated the world.
Some are too complicated, filthy, and need to be streamlined and removed, some are to be elevated to national sacrifices, some are to be demoted to local areas, some are to be sacrificed throughout the country at the same time, some are to be staged and so on.
The roots of these codes and etiquette often come from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which is also a serious and strict study of the origin and development process of the Han people.
In fact, this is also a way for Zhu Xu to sort out the thoughts of the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of "Great Canon" has a greater influence than the compilation of books in the fourth or fifth museums.
The Ministry of Industry is now burdened quite heavily, and the Supervisory Yuan, the Criminal Department, and the Intermittent Evil Division have come to check the accounts twice in three days, which makes them frightened.
There is no way to do this, the current silver flow of the Ministry of Industry is only slightly worse than that of the Ministry of War, and from time to time there are corruption and engineering problems, and a group of people are involved.
Some of them asked the Ministry of Industry to allocate silver to build roads, some to allocate silver to build bridges, some to dig rivers, and some to open mountains, in short, to ask for silver.
He looked at all of these carefully, and for those who saw at a glance that they were cheating money, they replied directly and did not approve them, and if they were really embarrassed, they would also cut them in half, and then let people send them to the cabinet.
Behind him is a full map of the Ming Dynasty, on which there are several thick lines, all of which are the 'official roads' planned by the Ministry of Industry, and the core is the Beijing Division, which looks quite huge.
A principal came in, still holding a lamp in his hand, and said, "My lord, there is a letter from Lord Shangshu, saying that it is a river. There is a danger of bursting the levee on the south side, so we need to prepare for it as soon as possible. ”
Wang Chaopin's face changed slightly, and he said, "Take it quickly." ”
The principal handed the letter over, Wang Chaoping looked at it in front of the lamp, frowned after a long time, and then sat down, muttering to himself: "The Yellow River, the water situation of the Yangtze River this year is extremely serious, more than double that of previous years, if the embankment bursts, I don't know how many ...... will be flooded along the river."
The chief was silent when he listened, the treasury was drying up day by day, and if there was another major flood, the imperial court might not be able to come up with money and food if it wanted to provide relief.
"I'll go to the Cabinet." Wang Chaopin stood up and said. Fighting floods is the most important thing at present, and the Cabinet must mobilize all its forces.
Fu Changzong, the head of the household, is now at home, and the study is also brightly lit, and the rustle of paper sounds from time to time.
Sitting at the table, Fu Changzong looked at the account books, his brows furrowed deeply.
This year's expenditure is particularly large, and there are several 'advances', all of which require a large amount of silver, but the treasury is about to bottom out, and the profits of the Huitong Commercial Bank have been decreasing recently.
Thinking of the Royal Money House, Fu Changzong's brows furrowed even deeper.
Although the Royal Money Village is in charge of Fu Tao, there is an internal supervisor in it, obviously the emperor attaches great importance to the Royal Money Bank, and he cannot allow it to get out of control or others to interfere.
After a long time, he closed the book, leaned back in his chair, and exhaled deeply.
Recently, his pressure has been increasing, and there are more and more government affairs, most of which are related to the cabinet, and the number of household departments has increased to 300, but there are still unfinished tasks and unfinished government affairs, which makes him extremely stressed, and he is a little breathless.
And he has a very bad appetite recently, and he always feels that there is something in his heart, but he can't remember it, which makes him feel uneasy and a little worried, as if something bad is going to happen.
Fu Tao had just come back from outside, and when he saw that the light was still on in Fu Changzong's room, he looked at it for a while, and then walked over and knocked on the door.
Fu Changzong was pretending to sleep, and when he heard the movement, he straightened up, opened his eyes, picked up the teacup, and said lightly, "Come in." ”
Fu Tao came in, looked at Fu Changzong drinking tea, and approached, "Father, you haven't rested yet?" ”
Fu Changzong looked up at Fu Tao, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, there are too many things, why did you come back so late?" ”
Fu Changzong is still quite satisfied with this son, there have been no mistakes over the years, and he still has an official body.
Fu Tao saw a pile of thick documents and account books on Fu Changzong's desk, and said, "There are some things that Nanzhili needs the help of Huitong Commercial Bank, I'll go build a bridge." ”
Fu Changzong naturally knew about the matter of Jinyin Village, and he didn't care, nodded and said, "Well, go to bed early." ”
Fu Tao said: "Yes, my father also rests early." ”
Fu Changzong was about to nod, but suddenly said, "By the way, how much silver does the Royal Money Bank have now?" ”
Fu Tao was stunned, hesitated slightly, and said: "Because of the minting of new coins and the return of cash, there are now 80 million cash in the bank, and some of them are from the emperor, and they go directly into the inner pocket, and I don't know the amount." ”
Fu Changzong raised his head slightly, did not speak, and knew in his heart.
The Royal Money House is subordinate to the Cabinet in terms of establishment, and the General Administration of Taxation, which is responsible for commercial tax and miscellaneous taxes, the Huitong Commercial Bank, and the ten major granaries will all belong to the Cabinet, and there are more and more departments directly controlled by the Cabinet.
When Fu Changzong thought of this, his heart suddenly moved, his body was straight, his eyes were wide open, and the unclear uneasiness in his heart was suddenly clear.
The emperor is deliberately weakening the six ministries and increasing the power of the cabinet! I want a strong cabinet to rule the world with six ministries! Instead of continuing to bypass the cabinet to command the six ministries, there is only an embarrassing cabinet!
Thinking of this, Fu Changzong let out a long breath, so everything was clear.
Since last year, the emperor has been weakening, dividing the power of the six departments, arranging for the cabinet to be directly under the yamen, and expanding the power of the cabinet, but it is too logical, he didn't care at all, and now think about it carefully, the emperor has been planning for a long time.
However, the cabinet leads the six ministries and governs the world, which is a normal system, and it also meets the requirements of the 'New Deal', and is also an inevitable requirement for promoting the 'New Deal'.
"I see, that's ......" After a while, Fu Changzong nodded lightly, with admiration on his face. His emperor's nephew's methods are getting more and more spicy, the geese are silent, they enter the water without a trace, and they hide everyone, and at this point, even if some people are dissatisfied, they can't do anything.
Fu Tao looked at Fu Changzong's expression, doubted in his heart, hesitated for a while, and still asked: "Father, about the addition of cabinet ministers......
