On January 30, 1866, the spring was cold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were extremely excited, and they didn't feel the cold of the winter in Beiqi at all, and they finally looked forward to this day.

After the glorious victory over the Manchus, who would worry about the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, after having no worries, the officials showed hysterical loyalty, are they loyal ministers?

Hardly.

Therefore, when the negotiations with the Qing court and the foreigners were completed, the ministers who had long been unable to hold back persuaded Zhu Jinglun to ascend the throne again, this time, Zhu Jinglun did not refuse, and chose to ascend the throne in Beiqi nearby.

In the sound of celebration, a large number of musicians in ancient costumes played serious ancient music, no one in Guangdong understands these, these people are specially invited from the Confucian Mansion in Shandong, they play Yale, this kind of large-scale music is widely lost in the land of China, only in the Confucian Mansion and the Japanese royal family still retain a more authentic performance team, as for the folk, the large-scale ancient music has long been split into a section, that is, the so-called music card, what such as Mengling, Linjiang Immortal and the like, sung by the literati, completely dramatized.

In the simple and solemn sound of elegant music, Zhu Jinglun walked on the Temple of Heaven, yes, this is the Temple of Heaven in Beiya, Zhu Jinglun intended to ascend the throne here, so he did not hesitate to pull half of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty to Beiqi by boat.

He didn't mean to humiliate the Manchus, they had no honor to speak of for a long time, he thought of the story of Prussia's birth in the Falsai Palace, and found it very interesting.

Long Yuan shouted hoarsely, the Emperor of Heaven enjoyed the sacrifice.

Zhu Jinglun was wearing the big fur of the Son of Heaven, wearing a gown, wearing a crown with twelve hanging from the front and back, a big gui in his waist, holding a town gui, and standing on the southeast side of the mound facing west. At this time, the drums sounded in unison, and he held the sacrifice dedicated to the Emperor of Heaven, a cow, and he wanted to kill the cow.

Zhu Jinglun really didn't expect that sacrificing to the sky was such a bloody thing, and he actually asked him to kill the cow, and the minister suggested that it was to kill the sheep, so safe, but Long Yuanxi said that the bigger the better, the best is the cow, the cow and the sheep don't matter to Zhu Jinglun, let alone kill the cow, just strangle it to death, it's okay.

So the cow is the cow, after an innocent cultivated cow was stabbed by Zhu Jinglun, the tenacious life made it struggle constantly, and the blood was drenched.

Zhu Jinglun directly pressed and twisted his head, twisting its head off, scaring many people next to him, at this time, someone remembered that Zhu Jinglun was a founding emperor, but he had played with foreigners, Hurd was the best witness of Zhu Jinglun's bravery, and he felt some pain in his legs.

After the dead cow was put on the firewood stack with a large number of jade, jade, silk and other sacrifices, Long Yuanxi asked Zhu Jinglun to light the firewood, and the fireworks rose high, he said that this would make the emperor smell the smell.

A lot of treasures are wasted like this.

Zhu Jinglun sighed secretly and glanced at the sky, is there really an emperor of heaven?

After a busy day, the moment that everyone is most looking forward to has arrived, and that is the moment of the great seal.

At the moment of sealing the meritorious hero, it is not suitable to put it in the palace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so Zhu Jinglun was fortunate to be rewarded on the Temple of Heaven.

The reward is nothing more than military merit, this is a tradition, but it is a pity that this tradition has long existed in name only under the suppression of the literati, even if it is a nobleman in the eyes of the literati, it is not comparable to a new scholar from a poor family.

Wen Kite made the first contribution, and there was a lot of discussion about it, and they all thought that Wen Kite connived at the looting of soldiers, and then forced the woman to do the palace maid, he did not deserve this credit, but Zhu Jinglun said that the gate of Bei Yacheng was opened by Wen Kite, and the merit was great.

Capture the capital of a country, this kind of credit is very great, Napoleon rewarded the general who led the army to attack Beijing a Baliqiao Earl, Zhu Jinglun rewarded Wen Yuan with a Guangqumen Count, because the first city gate he opened was Guangqumen, Yuan Chonghuan resisted the charge of the Eight Banners here many times.

The black dog was also rewarded by the earl for leading the Wukeng Army and the Xin'an Second Army, as well as the relationship with the old seniority.

His title is Zhangzhou Bo, and the main recognition is his achievements in defeating Zuo Zongtang in southern Fujian.

The rest of the military-level commanders have their own titles, and most of the meritorious ones are viscounts, and even Zheng Jin of the Dahongjun has been given the title of Viscount of Xinyi, in recognition of his surrender in Xinyi.

In order to enhance the status of the staff officer, Zhu Jinglun also awarded Xie Qi, the general staff officer of the General Staff Department, a knighthood, also a viscount, Zhaoqingzi, in recognition of his command merits in the First Battle of Zhaoqing.

Non-military merits are not knighted, since the Qin Dynasty is basically a practice, the Ming Dynasty got the title of the great literati Wang Yangming, not by political merit, but by the military merit of suppressing King Ning's rebellion.

But the literati have something they look forward to, and that is to be crowned officials.

After several reforms, the civil service system will also be established at the Temple of Heaven.

Ministers have been discussing the civil service for too long.

When Zhu Jinglun came back from the United States, they discussed the results, but in fact, they did not change much from the previous dynasties, mainly according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the cabinet system.

In fact, since the Han Dynasty, China's civil system can not escape a three-province six-ministry system, the so-called three provinces, refers to Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Shangshu Province, Shangshu Province was formed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province were formed in the Three Kingdoms, the purpose is to divide and limit the power of Shangshu Province, in fact, the three provinces are one, representing the power of the Qin and Han dynasties.

The monarchy of the past dynasties fought endlessly, so the emperor divided the power again and again, the three provinces appeared in the Three Kingdoms, and in the Ming Dynasty, all the power was directly attributed to the cabinet, Zhu Yuanzhang designed the cabinet at the beginning, in fact, the power is very small, which is equivalent to helping him sort out the secretary team of official documents, but the reason why this kind of thing exists is that there is an internal reason for him, not every emperor is as diligent as Zhu Yuanzhang, so he needs someone to help him deal with government affairs, and this is how the prime minister came.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty subsequently dismissed the prime minister, and it was not set up in the later period of Zhu Yuanzhang, but the cabinet slowly assumed the responsibilities of the prime minister, and the first assistant of the cabinet was directly called the prime minister in private.

Zhu Jinglun does not have such a heavy desire for power, so there is no need to use a cabinet system to cover up, since the three provinces and six ministries have been constantly changing tricks since the Han Dynasty, but in the end the actual position is always the same, when the imperial power is strong, it is Zhu Yuanzhang's cabinet, when the civil officials are strong, it became the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty, or the cabinet system in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jinglun fortunately did not hide it, directly three provinces and six ministries, and set up the prime minister.

The province of Shangshu is responsible for the implementation of important decrees of the state, which is basically the ruling power.

Shangshu Ling's Shangshu Ling is, of course, the prime minister, and this position is Chen Zhiting's.

After the ceremonial official Long Yuanxi recited Chen Zhiting's letter of appointment aloud, Chen Zhiting bowed solemnly and took the official uniform given by Zhu Jinglun.

Then there is Zhongshu Province, the most important function of Zhongshu Province is to write edict documents and read the seals of his subordinates, this is the real emperor's secretary team, and the official position of Zhongshu Ling was handed over to Fang Shan, a dog-headed military division, and no one was surprised.

But what is surprising is the province of Menxia.

The governor of the province under the door is called Shizhong, and in the Qin Dynasty, he was the history of the palace sent by the prime minister to the palace to perform affairs, and he was a small official of the prime minister's house. But it slowly evolved into an independent department, and it can compete with Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Province.

The officials in the province of Menxia had the positions of Huangmen Shilang and Counselor, so they gradually had the power of some emperor's advisers and inspectors. Zhu Jinglun's design for this province is also an advisor to the emperor, plus a hundred supervising officials. But he gave this position to Hurd, a foreigner, which no one expected.

Even Heard himself didn't expect it.

Hurd is a person who attaches great importance to his status and power, when Zhu Jinglun made the system public, he put a lot of effort into research, he valued the official position of the household department, he hoped that the head of the household department of Daming, which is basically the same as his current position in the tax department. His current tax department is not only for tax collection, but also for strengthening the budget and other work, which is equivalent to the government and the tax department, so he feels that the household department is the only one for him.

didn't expect Zhu Jinglun to give him a department that seemed to be high, but had no real power, which surprised him, but he was not very satisfied, and when he took over the official uniform, he didn't show a happy look. Later, he also approached Zhu Jinglun for this, thinking that Zhu Jinglun restricted his power because he was a foreigner. Zhu Jinglun told him that Menxia Province is a traditional Chinese official position, and the department at the same level as Shangshu Province where the prime minister is located, he has greatly improved Hurd's status, and if Hurd is unwilling to accept it, he will send Hurd to the household department, Hurd is a person who values his status very much, and he still feels that his status is important under the trade-off, and he can claim that he is at the same level as the prime minister.

After the three provinces, there are six departments, and the Ministry of Rites is naturally Long Yuanxi; The Ministry of War gave Luo Xuanyan, who was persuaded by Long Yuanxi to take refuge; The criminal department was handed over to Luo Tianchi, an old bureaucrat and great painter who had followed Zhu Jinglun earlier; The Ministry of Officials was handed over to the high-ranking person Su Tingkui, who was also one of the three squires who trained outside the city with Long Yuanxi and Luo Xuanyan. The appointment of the Ministry of Industry is also somewhat unexpected, so that a minister thinks that he is a little-known person, Chen Qiyuan, a native of the South China Sea, who has not heard this name, but Zhu Jinglun's design for the Ministry of Industry is actually similar to the Ministry of Industry in later generations, not only to manage national projects, but also to manage private industries; The last and most important household department was handed over to Zhang Jingxiu, a wealthy family in Dongguan.

The Zhang family is a local wealthy family and built a garden, but the Zhang family is developed in business, Zhang Jingxiu is not greedy for money as an official, and he does not need to be greedy for money, the money he paid for being an official and the money for repairing the garden were all paid by his second brother Zhang Xiyuan, and the household department needs to deal with businessmen, and it has to be a person who is not greedy for money to be in charge, so step by step I am afraid that Zhang Jingxiu, who is in Guangzhaoluo Daotai, will get this position.

After the main officials of the three provinces and six ministries were sealed, the remaining minor officials did not need to be rewarded one by one in the Temple of Heaven, in fact, most of the other officials were no longer here, so in the end, they only read the letter of appointment once, even if it was sealed in front of the emperor who ate beef, it was a celebration.

Although the name is the same as the ancient official position, in fact, the main functions have been adjusted, such as the Ministry of Industry, the power has been expanded to the people, not only like the ancient responsible for repairing a palace for the emperor, repairing the canal and other duties, this department has always been the Qingshui Yamen, there is no power, so it was handed over to a little-known businessman, and it did not cause much backlash, what they didn't know was that later the power of this department was so great that they were very jealous.

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have changed greatly, the ancient Ministry of Rites is to take into account diplomacy, and the Imperial Court was first under the management of the Ministry of Rites, because after the envoys of Fanbang arrived in China, they had to be taught the etiquette of meeting the emperor by the Ministry of Rites, and some envoys even had to study for more than half a year before they could see the emperor.

But the current diplomacy is not the diplomacy of the era when the two savages kowtowed to give a reward, but the diplomacy that really has to deal with foreigners, so the Ministry of Rites has set up a foreign affairs department, which can only be the same as the prime minister's yamen established by Yi Xin, that is, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the head of the foreign affairs department is still Wu Chongyao.

The remaining officials, ministers, and personnel, the Criminal Department, which is in charge of the judiciary, and the Ministry of War is in charge of the army, have also undergone some changes, but there have been little changes in general. (To be continued.) )
