Now is not the period of Taizu and Chengzu, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and no one dares to put forward opinions when the order is changed. Now this is the case, as long as it is done in accordance with the regular procedure, the emperor cannot veto it, but if the emperor's will does not conform to the practice or regulations, the ministers can reject it.

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are the smartest people, and after taking a look at each other, they understood that this was the emperor's own meaning, not instigated by others.

They didn't feel strange, in matters besides, the emperor has always been arbitrary, and he won't consult them at all, they don't know the reason, but since as the emperor, he always has the right to do whatever he wants, and they can't say anything.

"Your Majesty, it is not in line with the practice of the Jinyi Guard to go out of Beijing to fight, and there is no precedent for the Jinyi Guard to serve as governors and governors." The left attendant of the military department said stubbornly.

Since Shang Shu pretended not to hear it next to him, he couldn't continue to pretend, and the authority of the Ministry of War must always be maintained, even if it is the emperor, he can't trample on it at will.

The emperor wants to establish a new type of brocade guard, which is of course the emperor's freedom, but in foreign wars, this should be issued to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will recommend candidates and combat plans, which is the right way.

Emperor Longqing didn't speak, which naturally meant to let everyone speak freely.

At court meetings, the emperor generally does not speak, and will only pass down through the eunuchs around him unless it is particularly necessary. For the ministers' words, that is, listen, there is a little eunuch next to it that will be recorded, and you can check it when you go back.

The emperor has been taught since he was a child that he can't argue with the ministers, and he can't easily refute the ministers' opinions.

Successive emperors have been taught that they must learn the lessons of Tang Taizong. Tang Taizong was extremely talented among the emperors, and he liked to fold the ministers, but later the ministers did not dare to speak, and Tang Taizong had no choice, so he could only stage a rivalry with Wei Zheng in the end. Wei Zheng said goodbye to Tang Taizong every day, and even folded Taizong, it was inevitable that the fake drama was really done, and Tang Taizong was so angry that he wanted to go crazy directly.

As soon as the left attendant of the military department finished speaking, the imperial history of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was also played, and the meaning was similar, that is, there was no precedent for Jinyiwei to go out of Beijing to fight, and no precedent meant that it did not comply with the rules and regulations. If it is necessary to send loyal ministers because of the tight coastal situation, it is better for the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to jointly recommend important ministers to serve as governors.

After these two people finished speaking, there were many people who came out to echo them, most of them were people from the military department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although the six departments of the imperial court are respected by the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials has the good name of Tsukazai, Tsukazai is the official name in ancient times, equivalent to Taifu, and the power of the prime minister in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty is greater, and only the king is too young to govern in person during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so he will set up a Tsukasa Zai to govern on his behalf, that is, the regent, not necessarily the king.

The Ministry of Officials has incomparable power in the selection and promotion of officials, but in peacetime the power is still divided among the six ministries, each with its own scope of authority, and in this respect each ministry has taken a more resolute attitude than defending the national territory, and will not budge an inch.

Although in the past, when the troops were training, everyone understood what was going on, and if they didn't find out at that time, these people couldn't jump out, but now at the last moment, if they don't jump out and oppose it, they will not be able to recover it in the future.

Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie and others were a little puzzled, they didn't understand why the emperor made this matter public in the temple, originally the emperor only needed a will, and sent it out of Beijing, there was no need for such a public discussion.

"What the two adults said is a bit too much, isn't it?"

Suddenly, a discordant voice rang out.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that it was the right attendant of the household department who came out of the ranks, and after saluting the emperor above, he said to the left attendant of the military department and the right capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace.

Several cabinet scholars did not participate in the speech, which was also their self-preservation, and the object of their discussion was the emperor, not the six squires and the deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, these people were not in their scope of attention.

However, they are not surprised by the appearance of this household servant, the six departments have their own territory and interests, and it is the norm for them to compete with each other, and if the six departments are united, it will be a demon.

"What do you think?" The left attendant of the military department asked coldly.

"The land of the four seas is not the king's land, and the people of the four seas are all subjects, how can the difference between the military department, the procuratorate and the Jinyi guard, since it is as a messenger, the lower officials feel that it should be appointed by the emperor, not those of us who are courtiers." When the Tobe squire said of the emperor, he bowed to Emperor Longqing again.

As soon as these words came out, the people in the court were angry and wanted to scold it, but the imperial history and the guards of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were on both sides, and whoever dared to roar in the court was waiting to be pulled out directly.

It is true that the ministers of the imperial mission inspect the place on behalf of the emperor, but the right to send the imperial mission has long been moved down to the six ministries, and if it is a military mission, it is elected by the military department and the metropolitan procuratorate, and if it is a civil one, there are officials and the metropolitan procuratorate to elect. Why is it always inseparable from the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Because the Qincha generally carries the title of the Imperial Historian, he has the right to enforce the law against local officials when he arrives at the locality, and if he does not carry the title of the Imperial Historian, the power is much worse.

In addition, the general sent out of the Qincha does not hang the title of Qincha, they are all the military department of Shangshu, the imperial history, the governor of a province or several provinces military, or the governor, the governor of a certain province, the title of the imperial history, the important person The emperor will also give Shang Fang the sword, but it is just an ornament, no one is stupid enough to really unseal the Shang Fang sword, cut off a few heads, so do not say that the sinner, the imperial cabinet will not be satisfied, and when you come back to hand over the errand, the small shoes are placed in a row waiting for you to wear.

Therefore, the gift of Shang Fang Sword is only to increase the power of the Qin Cha, so that the local officials feel afraid, indicating that the emperor really wants to rectify the local or army, the Ming Dynasty really used the Shang Fang Sword in the later Chongzhen era, Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chuanting both used the Shang Fang Sword to kill incompetent generals, but unfortunately it was too late.

"Lord Lu, I know that the household department worries about the salary and military expenses every day, but I can't break the rules passed down from my ancestors because of this, right?" The right capital of the Imperial Court sneered.

He saw at a glance the intention of the household servant to jump out, the household did not want to pay the silver, if the emperor ordered the sixth guard to dispatch, the household would save a sum of military expenses, since the sixth guard was established with internal funds, after going out, the funds were naturally paid by the emperor himself.

If you send someone else to be a messenger or a governor, you always have to bring some troops with you, and you have to add a small amount of money.

It is said that the money of the household department also comes from the state treasury, and even the officials of the household department cannot embezzle it if they don't take it out, why are they so stingy and calculating?

This involves the interests of the chief officials such as the head of the household department and the squire, and the silver comes from the treasury, but it is so much, and all localities are now tight on funds, and they are not misappropriated at all, even so, the border gates are still crying poor every day, asking for an increase in expenses, and the coastal areas are in an emergency, which is nothing more than this meaning.

Once a war breaks out, the demand for an increase in expenses is reasonable, and the troops only train or do not move at all in peacetime, and only daily expenses are spent; once a war starts, all kinds of expenses will surge, and the original funds will certainly not be enough. In normal times, all departments are vying to ask for funds and allocate funds to the provinces or armed forces that have a relationship with them, but once the time comes to the tight, the household department cannot come up with the funds, and it is a few chief officials of the household department who will suffer, after all, all military expenses are planned by the household department.

Therefore, the emperor wanted to send the sixth guard to fight along the coast, and the household department was the first to agree, if another governor was chosen, the household department would have to resolutely oppose it, and everyone knew that what the coastal provinces lacked this time was not troops, but silver.

If it weren't for the court, he would definitely go up and tear up with this Lu Shilang, and he had always sent governors to inspect these envoys who had to go through the procuratorate, which was a real right, and if anyone violated this right, it was really similar to digging the ancestral grave of the imperial history of the left and right sides of the procuratorate.

The ministers of several other ministries are also indignant, and it took many years to win the right to win the right after being elected by the six ministries, and everything has to be kept, Lu Shilang wants to return the right to the emperor just because of the funds, isn't it a betrayal of all the ministers.

Initially, after the abolition of the prime minister system, Taizu himself commanded the six ministries, which was equivalent to taking back all the power of the minister, and after a few generations, the power of the prime minister moved down a little bit, and many rights returned to the hands of the six books, of course, the most powerful is the cabinet.

Originally, the cabinet was only a private think tank established by Chengzu, and it was not an informal institution, but it slowly evolved into Zhongshutang, similar to the multi-prime minister system composed of the governors of Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu in the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning, the cabinet members were completely appointed by the emperor, and the ministers had no opinions, and the emperor's private secretary or staff were of course selected by the emperor himself, and when the scholars had a certain authority, they evolved into cabinet scholars who were elected by the members of the cabinet and the six Shangshu and Zuodu Yushi, etc., and the emperor could veto the ministers' public recommendation, but he could not arbitrarily propose a list of cabinet personnel, and the same is true for the criminal department, and the sentence must be determined by the criminal department, and the emperor can overturn the judgment of the criminal department. But he can't draw up charges for officials or criminals by himself, unless the emperor bypasses the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and uses the Beizhen Fu Division to try the case, which is also the reason why the Zhenfu Division is hated by the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

There are many aspects, the original power belongs to the emperor alone, and gradually transferred to the hands of the ministers, of course, the emperor still has the final right to veto, the Beijing inspection of the Ministry of Officials is the most important assessment of officials, and it is also completed independently by the Ministry of Officials, and the emperor can only accept or veto, generally speaking, there is no precedent for Jingcha to be vetoed, even if later generations such as Shenzong, they can only drag on without approval, but can not be overturned.
