The power of the Six Branches Corridor is the same as the power of the eunuchs, which is given by the emperor.

At the same time, it is also a double-edged sword.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally formulated such a system in order to counter the power of the prime minister or the powerful ministers of the DPRK.

Later, after Hu Weiyong's case, Zhu Yuanzhang revoked the setting of the left and right prime ministers, and let the six departments directly play to him and directly obey his orders, but at the same time, he did not revoke the six science corridors.

His original intention is good, and he is worried that in the future, once there is a weak lord among his children and grandchildren, then there will be the constraints of the six department corridor officials above the court, and the emperor will not be deceived or set aside by the six Shangshu or the dignitaries of the court.

Because the six departments correspond to the six parts of the imperial court.

All official documents or drafted wills of the six departments must be reviewed by the six sections, and if the review cannot be passed, the six departments can be sealed and refuted, so that they cannot take effect.

Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention was of course good, but the lowly and powerful setting of the Six Science Corridor became a tool for party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The officials of the six sections of the corridor did not ask about right and wrong, but only looked at the impeachment and refutation of the portal, which caused the government affairs of the court to fall into stagnation and chaos again and again.

It not only reduces the efficiency of the court's decision-making, but also messes up right and wrong.

For Emperor Chongzhen to take the initiative to limit the power of the Six Branch Corridors, and also took away the right to refute the Six Science Corridors with the loyalty of the monarch and righteousness, the cabinet ministers and the officials of the Six Ministries were happy to see it.

Except for the officials of the Six Science Corridors who wrote to fight on the grounds of the ancestral law, no powerful minister stood up to speak.

Because for the powerful ministers in the court, the power of the six branch ministers is too great, and it is a constraint or threat to any of them.

Especially the cabinet ministers and the six scholars, everyone felt that there was suddenly a shackle missing from their bodies.

And for today's Emperor Chongzhen, he has no choice but to do this.

Because, since this sharp sword cannot be completely controlled in his hands in a short time, he has to put it in the scabbard.

Because of this, even though there were many discussions this time, Emperor Chongzhen still quickly cut through the chaos, and soon passed the edict of rewarding those who had contributed to the pacification of the Extravagant Rebellion, and only made some adjustments to some of the problems that were not completely in line with his own mind.

Regarding the problem that Zhu Xieyuan, who was concerned about by the imperial historians, was not strict, and even openly indulged in the burning, killing and looting of various departments under his command, he only replied with a sentence sent to the Sixth Branch Corridor and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Emperor Chongzhen pointed out the edict passed on to the officials of the Imperial Procuratorate and the Six Corridors: "The imperial court pacifies the southwest, and the matter is also big, but the court officials are on the front line and are in charge, but Zhu Xieyuan is a few people!" I haven't seen anyone who has written a book to dispute the reward at this time! Judging merit with reactive power is already putting the cart before the horse, and being jealous of merit with reactive power is even more punishable! ”

The emperor's attitude has been very clear, and no one in the central government has stood up against it, and some people have been on both sides.

Therefore, after receiving this edict, the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Science Corridors suddenly stopped a lot, and they originally wanted to continue to exist in the book, but they also died down.

On August 12 of the second year of Chongzhen, just ten days after the news of the pacification of the southwest spread, the Ming court awarded the edict of the meritorious soldiers in the southwest, which was officially announced to the world.

And Fu Zonglong, the director of the Jiangwutang who had participated in the pacification of the Southwest Lu'an Rebellion, was personally named by Emperor Chongzhen and became the envoy of the imperial court to reward the southwest generals this time.

According to the emperor's last will, Zhu Xieyuan handed over the part-time job of the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department while he was crowned the Marquis of Jingnan, and at the same time lost the power to lead the military affairs of Sichuan, Huguang and Guangxi, and from then on he was appointed as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and no longer stayed in Guiyang and concurrently served as the governor of Guizhou, but on the day of the purpose, he took his own superintendent Luo Ganxiang to move the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou from Guiyang to Kunming.

In other words, Zhu Xieyuan, who had to be named the Marquis of Jingnan, would be appointed as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and the governor of Yunnan.

As for Min Hongxue, the former governor of Yunnan, who was nearly 70 years old, was directly removed from the post of governor by the current Emperor Chongzhen on the grounds that he had been fussing Yunnan for seven years and had no success for a long time, and he was ordered to return to his hometown on the day of his purpose.

After Zhu Xieyuan left Guizhou, Shao Jiechun, the current political envoy of Guizhou, was promoted to governor of Guizhou.

Shao Jiechun is Zhu Xieyuan's right-hand man, although he did not make military merits this time, he was also included in the list of meritorious civil servants by Li Guowei and other important ministers, so he was able to take over the position of Guizhou governor concurrently held by Zhu Xieyuan on the spot.

The candidate to succeed Shao Jiechun as the political envoy was Zheng Chaodong, a political participant in Guizhou who had made meritorious contributions to the reform of the land and return to the river in the jurisdiction of the twelve horseheads of the Song clan in Shuidong.

As for the prefect of Duyun in Guizhou, Chen Xishao, who hired people to follow the transport and escort machinery and grain, also came to work from time to time, and was stained with the credit of quelling the rebellion of luxury and peace, and was successfully promoted to participate in the politics of Guizhou.

The vacated position of the prefect of Guizhou was taken over by Wei Chengrun, who wrote to oppose the imperial court's decree of rewarding the holy court.

This time, they followed Fu Zonglong and his party south.

In addition to Zhu Xieyuan's position, Emperor Chongzhen made adjustments, and some other rewards were changed.

Yongningwei in eastern Sichuan is the hometown of Hou Liangzhu, the newly baked Dingyi Bo, and this time it was directly renamed Dingyiwei by Emperor Chongzhen.

And Hou Liangzhu's son Hou Tianxi, while being renamed the hereditary commander of Dingyi Wei, was also appointed by the emperor to enter Beijing and serve as a military attache in front of the imperial chamberlain.

At the same time that Zhu Xieyuan's eldest son and second son were rewarded and appointed, his third son, Zhu Zhaoxian, was ordered to go to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou to accompany the army, and at the same time, his fourth son Zhu Zhaoxuan was given the title of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Qianhu.

And Xu Quanzhong, the eldest son of Xu Chengming, the chief military officer of Guizhou, was also awarded the title of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Qianhu, and ordered him to go to Beijing to take office on the day of his purpose.

At the same time, what surprised Li Guohao, Xu Guangqi, Zhang Weixian, and the important ministers of the court and the central government was that Emperor Chongzhen made this time from the southwest Tusi who had meritorious service in Shuixi, except for the Shizhu Tusi and Baojing Tusi, who had always been loyal and obedient, all the fiefs obtained by the other Tusi leaders were not in Shuixi.

In the battle to quell the Shuixi Rebellion, in addition to the Shizhu Tusi and the Baojing Tusi, the greatest meritorious service was the Qingmiao native soldiers under the command of Luo Ganxiang.

This time, Luo Ganxiang and his only more than 2,500 remaining Qingmiao soldiers were deliberately sealed to Mengyang Mansion by Emperor Chongzhen, and satisfied Luo Ganxiang's long-standing wish, that is, to find a territory that can be lived in for generations for generations for the Qingmiao people under his command who have lost their homes.

Emperor Chongzhen gave Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, a holy decree to let him re-establish Meng Yangwei on the old land of Mengyangfu abandoned by the Ming Dynasty, and give the old land of the original Mengyangfu to Luo Ganxiang and his subordinate soldiers wearing green seedlings, and use Luo Ganxiang as the commander of Mengyangwei, and allow his descendants to be hereditary.

Now the Mengyang Mansion mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen in his holy decree is the Myitkyina area of Myanmar in later generations.

During the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty army was rare to meet the enemy, and after recovering Yunnan, Mengyang Mansion was set up in the Myitkyina area, and it was under the jurisdiction of Yunnan.

During the Yongle period, the local natives rebelled, and the Ming court set up a military and civilian propaganda envoy here and began to appoint local officials.

During the Wanli period, the imperial court successively had the battle of Korea and the battle of Banzhou, and the local officials of Mengyang took the opportunity to launch a rebellion, and the court was unable to suppress it, so the Mengyang area immediately lost control and was no longer owned by the imperial court.

As a result, hundreds of years later, Mengyang, which originally belonged to the Chinese territory, this fertile land, fell into the hands of Myanmar and became Myitkyina, Myanmar.

Although the Chongzhen Emperor is not yet free to expand his territory to the west and south, he will not watch this fertile and mineral-rich land on the banks of the Irrawaddy River infiltrated and encroached upon by the Taungoo Dynasty in Burma.

The sealing of the Qingmiao soldiers under the Luo Ganxiang Department here not only solves the problem of rewarding and placing Luo Ganxiang and his subordinate Qingmiao tribes, but also can first bury a nail in this place, so as to completely solve the southwest problem in the future.
