"Master Ji, in your opinion, how should Jinyiwei go in the future?"

The topic suddenly turned here, and Ji Gang sighed before he reacted. He hurriedly said: "Weichen didn't think about this matter, everything followed the emperor's wishes." ”

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and asked Ji Gang to sit down on the chair in the study, and Li Liang immediately asked the two little eunuchs to move a charcoal basin over and put it between the two of them.

After Zhu Zhanji sat down, he stretched out his hand to roast his somewhat cold hands on the fire before saying: "Jinyiwei was originally the emperor's personal guard, responsible for guarding the noon gate of the palace. From the great-emperor's ancestor to the emperor's grandfather, they all used Jinyiwei to do some things that were inconvenient to be handed over to other departments. This led to the Jinyiwei gradually becoming a deformed organization outside the court. ”

Ji Gang asked, "Deformed? What does Your Highness mean to say monsters? ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Each department of the imperial court has its own set of systems, with the extension of power and the restriction of power, you should understand this, right?" ”

Ji Gang thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "The minister understands." ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "But Jinyiwei is different, because it is directly under the emperor, so Jinyiwei not only has the power to supervise and investigate the ministers, but also has the power to supervise and investigate the military generals and nobles, and later developed to have its own censorship and prison system. This has led to the fact that Jinyiwei's power has no ability to restrain anyone except the emperor, which is also where Jinyiwei has always been hated and blamed by all walks of life. ”

Ji Gang knows very well that Taisun's words are still relatively tactful, and now there are people inside and outside the court who can't wait to share the sky with Jinyiwei.

If there is no support from the emperor, he will be uprooted in a row, including Jinyi Wei.

This is also what Ji Gang is most afraid of.

Ji Gang nodded and said, "The minister also knows this, but the minister can only act according to the emperor's will." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "So, I have also envisioned a path for you Jinyiwei that can develop for a long time, that is, self-restraint and separation of rights and responsibilities. Jin Yiwei can't continue to develop like this, and in the end, it will only make power out of control. ”

Although Zhu Zhanji is not clear about history, he also knows that Zhu Di later built an East Factory in order to restrain Jinyiwei.

This also led to the development of eunuch interference.

Zhu Zhanji definitely doesn't want to continue to follow this old path in the future, the eunuchs still continue to serve the royal family, just help Neiku make money, politics, and definitely can't let the eunuchs touch it.

To restrain Jinyiwei, it is actually very simple, that is, to remove Jinyiwei's interrogation agency, so that Jinyiwei only has the power of supervision and investigation.

The power of interrogation and detention should be returned to the Imperial Court's Supervision Yuan, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department.

This is equivalent to the emperor has an additional channel to understand the court outside the court and a rope to control the court, but it will not let this institution get out of control.

"The Beizhen Fusi will definitely be revoked in the future, and the Jinyiwei in the future can no longer have the power to interrogate the minister and detain the minister."

"Then how can His Highness ensure that the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple do not fly and go?"

"Doesn't Jinyiwei still have the right to supervise!" Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Do you know why I suddenly brought up this topic again?" ”

Ji Gang didn't understand what Zhu Zhanji meant, he was still talking about Dongying's Yinshan just now, and suddenly he talked about the reform of Jinyiwei, which made him a little unable to grasp Zhu Zhanji's train of thought.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Jinyiwei needs to be reformed, and some powers need to be restricted, but at the same time, another part of the powers needs to continue to expand. ”

This made Ji Gang even more confused, in his opinion, Jin Yiwei's power is already big enough, and he continues to expand, will the ministers allow it?

"In the vicinity of the Ming Dynasty, there are dozens of small countries, although these small countries are small countries and widows, I have no meaning to occupy the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty cannot let these countries lose control. Therefore, in the future, Jinyiwei should not only focus on the domestic minister, but also broaden his horizons a little and monitor all the countries around the Ming Dynasty. ”

"This ......" Ji Gang lowered his voice and asked, "Has Your Highness talked to Your Majesty about this?" Honglu Temple, the Department of General Administration also has such an organization, and the personnel are stationed abroad, which costs a lot more. ”

"The royal family and the state are one, but there are differences, otherwise, why not set up a brocade guard outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Establishing an inner treasury in addition to the treasury? There is no need to worry about the cost, I will allocate funds separately in the future, not to mention that in the future, the Beizhen Fusi will be revoked, and these officials can also be sent abroad after training. Of course, this mainly depends on young people, and they mainly go there voluntarily. In the future, Jinyiwei can set up a set of reward and punishment mechanisms, and young people who volunteer to go to other countries to perform their duties will be given priority in promotion. ”

"Minister......" Ji Gang's head was a little confused, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "The minister will start working on it." ”

Zhu Zhanji said again: "This matter is urgent, and it is not urgent to say that it is not urgent. ”

Ji Gang was completely stunned by Zhu Zhanji, and simply waited for Zhu Zhanji to finish his words directly.

"The development of foreign forces needs to be divided into two parts. The first part is the direct subordinates of Jinyiwei, who need to go through various professional training. The second part is mainly to develop the locals, such as the foreign students who admire my Ming culture and their entourage, they are all objects of Jinyiwei's development. In addition, some businessmen who followed Zheng He's fleet to trade with Western countries were also the downline of Jinyiwei's development. ”

"Offline?"

"It's just that they are not directly officials of Jinyiwei, but they can get some remuneration, information, and even convenience by serving Jinyiwei."

Before Ji Gang could think about this matter clearly, Zhu Zhanji bypassed the topic again. "Having said all this, what I mean is that Jin Yiwei gives up some of his power and then develops outward. But you must operate this matter in secret, at least before this northern expedition is returned to the DPRK, and it is not appropriate to make it public. ”

This is not difficult to understand, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji are going to fight in the grassland this time, so Jinyiwei should not do too many actions during this time.

This is the most sensitive period, the emperor is not in the capital, and if he does something wrong, it is a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan.

"However, it is now possible to win over the students of Dongying and send the subordinates to Dongying. I need you to install at least 20 people in Dongying within two years. Whether it's the Muromachi Shogunate, or the Izumo Kingdom, whether it's Ashikaga Yoshinor, or Emperor Go-Kameyama, I need the most detailed information. ”

Ashikaga Yoshinori was the fourth general of the Muromachi shogunate, and Emperor Go-Kameyama was the last emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

At this time, Ji Gang fully understood, Taisun went around this big circle, just to tell Ji Gang that Jinyiwei needs to change, change will live, and if you don't change, you will die.

Moreover, the use of Jinyiwei as an institution to prepare for the acquisition of Dongying Silver Mountain in two years. Whether it is to sow discord or buy and co-opt, in short, Jinyiwei must act from now on.

After doing this well, he will be safe in the future, and he will no longer have to be afraid that Wenchen will deal with him, no longer afraid that the prince will deal with him, and he will no longer have to worry about King Han dealing with him again.

Thinking of this, Ji Gang had a sky-high pride.

And he also had a heartfelt amazement at the grandson who was only sixteen years old this year, he was only sixteen years old, and he was so beneficial, making him dizzy as an old man.

Moreover, where did Taisun get this news? Why didn't Jinyiwei notice it?

However, thinking that Taisun had a fleet that traded with Dongying, he understood a little in his heart.

In addition, Xingqing Palace only strengthened the blockade after Jin Kuo came back a few years ago, so it was easier to connect all this.

At this time, he no longer dared to regard his grandson as just a grandson who was favored by Zhu Di, and he had already felt tremendous pressure just by dealing with himself today.

Whether it is the formation of a two-level intelligence network or the quiet arrangement, Ji Gang feels that he is a mature politician in front of him, not just a child.

Although King Han pretends to be heroic and mighty on weekdays, in his opinion, he is just a coy gesture and has no pressure. Compared with the grandson in front of him, he is not half a little worse!

He also truly understood why the emperor would unswervingly appoint Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince. With the Taisun alone, he has already taken the advantage, not to mention the support of the prince and Wenchen.

This time, Ji Gang said convincingly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, Weichen will definitely do his best and die." ”

"Another thing...... I need Jinyiwei to help me understand in detail the family assets and wealth channels of all large business families in Daming. Remember, this thing is done in secret! ”

Sending Ji Gang out of Xingqing Palace, Zhu Zhanji thought about the process of meeting him today, and felt that he had not made any mistakes, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how complacent he is, he doesn't think that a cadre who can leave a bad name in history will surrender to him in the first place.

If you want to completely subdue Ji Gang and let Ji Gang work hard for him, in addition to taking advantage of the current situation to persecut, you need to give him huge pressure step by step from the beginning, so that he can not only take it orally, but also convince him.

"Your Highness, the crown princess has urged you a few times to let you go early."

"What time is it?"

"It's a moment away."

It's almost five o'clock in the afternoon, but it's still New Year's Day, and it's getting dark early, and it's almost dark now.

The palace is closed at the end of the day, and all the guests who come to the palace will leave, so the guests who come will have a banquet at the latest at the unitary time.

Today's guest is Zhu Zhanji's mother's uncle's house that he went to in the morning, and he has two aunts and a few cousins.

"Bring your coat, I'm going out. In addition, I will prepare all the Chinese medicines I want, and I will make medicines in the evening. ”

"Your Highness, it's ready."

Zhu Zhanji looked at Li Liang, who had a flattering face, and praised: "Yes, do things well in the future, and I won't tease you anymore." ”

Li Liang remembered the human head that was thrown into his arms last time, his chest was stuffy for a while, and he wanted to retch, but he hurriedly swallowed it again, with a sour smile on his face.
