Volume 17 Chapter 29 A New Yamen was added
Zhu Cijiong is very concerned about the management of the cabinet, because the cabinet responsibility system is the core of the "Ming Chongzheng Law", and the cabinet will also be the administrative center of the future Ming Dynasty, so it can be said that the management of the cabinet is directly related to the success or failure of the "Ming Chongzheng Law". Fastest updates
In fact, in this regard, he does not have much experience to learn from, because the monarchy he implemented is a kind of government that has not appeared in later generations, and he can only combine his own ideas and some related management methods in later generations to guide his fifth uncle Zhu Youzhen, and let him slowly explore and practice.
Anyway, he is still young, and he has time to practice and improve, and he believes that after ten years, twenty or even thirty years of exploration, he can always sort out a set of management models suitable for the current situation in the Ming Dynasty.
He talked with relish, one moment an idea, another moment a new term, what post responsibility system, what minority obeys the majority, what policy program, what work summary report, what supervision mechanism, and so on.
Zhu Youzhen was uncomfortable, because these were unheard of and unseen things, so he could understand it at once, it was impossible, he could only swallow dates and remember it first.
Finally, after nearly an hour, when his head was about to explode, the emperor finally finished speaking, and he hurriedly said goodbye: "Your Majesty, Weichen has retired first, and Weichen has not yet begun to review today's recital." “
When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he said unsatisfactorily: "Well, then let's get here first, the fifth uncle will come often in the future, let's discuss how to manage the reshuffled cabinet." “
Zhu Youzhen almost didn't fall under the table at once, come on, do you want to review this recital, he can be very busy all day, delayed for an hour like today, and I don't know how long it will take to finish reading the recital at night, it's okay once or twice, if you want to do it every day, you have to exhaust people.
He said with a little embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this, you also know that Weichen has to review so many folds every day, and I really don't have time to listen to your teachings!" “
This is simple, Zhu Cijiong proposed: "Otherwise, I will convene a meeting of the cabinet scholars and the scholars of various ministries tomorrow, and when the cabinet votes are drafted in the future, the fold will be directly divided into two halves, and the more important ones will be approved by you and your teacher, and generally let Meng Hou and Wen weak approve the red, so that you will not be free?" Anyway, we have to decentralize power in the future, so let's experiment! “
Zhu Youzhen was in a fog at this time, he originally came to dissuade the emperor from reforming, but he was persuaded by the emperor, coupled with the emperor's teachings, he only felt dizzy, what the emperor said was what he said, he was busy and said: "But the emperor is in charge." “
With that, Gong Shen retreated and walked away.
The next day, after the morning court, Zhu Cijiong made some preparations, and ordered someone to notify the various ministries and relevant personnel to hold a meeting.
This time, there were more people attending the meeting, and he deliberately asked the eunuchs to clean up the side hall where the Qianqing Palace held a special meeting, and let a group of officials sit there.
Soon, the secretaries and relevant personnel of the various ministries gathered in the conference room and sat down one by one.
On the left is Prime Minister Shin Wang Zhu Youzhen;
Next is Yang Sichang, the secretary of the ministry;
Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the military department;
Ministry of Education Shangshu Huang Daozhou;
Wu Jianye, the general political envoy;
On the right is Xu Guangqi, the head of the Cabinet and the head of the Ministry of Rites;
Next is Bi Maokang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry;
Cheng Guoxiang, the head of the household department;
Cai Guoyong, the secretary of the Criminal Department;
Zhang Cai, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce.
The most inexplicable thing in this is that the general political envoy Si Tongzheng Wu Jianye, all of whom are here are the yamen bigwigs above the second grade, and after the implementation of the "Ming Chongzheng Law", these bigwigs will be promoted to the first grade, and he is just a small yamen person in charge of the third grade, why did the emperor recruit him too, and I didn't see any other small yamen leaders such as Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, and Zhan Shifu here.
Wu Jianye was puzzled, the eunuchs outside spread that the emperor had arrived, and he hurriedly stood up with a group of bigwigs and waited for the emperor.
Zhu Cijiong walked into the conference room and came to the main seat.
Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and said in unison: "Weichen see the emperor." “
Zhu Cijiong nodded, raised his hand and said, "All Aiqing are exempt from courtesy, sit, sit." “
So saying, he sat down first, and then the people sat down with him.
Zhu Cijiong was not hesitant, and went straight to the point: "The "Ming Chongzheng Law" will be officially implemented next year, and the cabinet, which is the core of future governance, must be prepared as early as possible, so I decided to slowly reshuffle the cabinet from now on. “
When everyone heard this, they were excited, confused, and hesitant, and the consequences of the implementation of the new policy could not be predicted for the time being, but with the implementation of the new policy, they would certainly have greater power, which was beyond doubt.
Zhu Cijiong paused and continued: "I have decided that from today onwards, the cabinet will be directly divided into two halves, and the general daily affairs will be handed over to Bi Maokang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, for approval, and the more important matters will be handed over to Zhu Youzhen, the prime minister of the cabinet, and Xu Guangqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, for approval. “
Now it's true, the emperor is really going to delegate power, in the past, all the folds were approved by King Xin Zhu Youzhen, and it can't be said to be a delegation of power, because King Xin is a member of the royal family after all, and he is also the emperor's own uncle, he must be on the side of the royal family, and now it is different to directly add Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang, and Yang Sichang, although they are all cronies of the emperor, but they are also representatives of civil officials!
Zhu Cijiong did not spend too much time on this matter, to elaborate one by one, that day can not be finished, he can only slowly reorganize the cabinet through Zhu Youzhen, in order to meet the requirements in his mind, and then, he continued: "The cabinet reshuffle is only part of the new deal, and there is another problem that cannot be ignored, that is, with the development of the Ming Dynasty, various affairs continue to increase, and the original yamen can no longer handle all aspects of affairs well, so it is necessary to add a new yamen, and the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Commerce were added last time, This time, I decided to reorganize and add three more yamen. “
Everyone has not yet woken up from the shock of the emperor starting to delegate power, and this is another bombshell, three yamen, listening to the emperor's tone, they should all be equivalent to the six major yamen, how many more positions will there be this time!
Many people are beginning to think about how to let their relatives, friends and even acquaintances take this ride, which is human nature, but has little to do with corruption.
Zhu Cijiong stopped, let everyone digest it, and then continued: "The first is to reorganize the original General Political Envoy Department and set up the Ministry of Communications, which consists of four departments of postal, newspaper, telegraph, and propaganda. “
Wu Jianye only figured out at this time that the emperor recruited him to upgrade the general political envoy to the same level as the six ministries, and he, with the rising tide, directly became the secretary of the Ministry of Communications, the current Zhengerpin, the future Zhengyipin!
Happiness came too suddenly, his official career is really like riding a rocket, Chongzheng four years he is just a new champion, and then he was appointed as the political envoy of the left of the fifth grade, and then directly promoted to the third grade of the general political envoy, and now he is directly promoted to the second grade of the Shangshu, next year he will become the first product of the Shangshu, in just twelve years, from an officialdom newcomer, directly the official residence of the first product, this promotion speed is simply unprecedented!
Why does the emperor favor him so much? He couldn't figure it out, and neither did the big guys here.
Actually, the reason why Zhu Cijiong reuses him is very simple, because his name is Wu Meicun!
