Seeing that the emperor accepted Ni Yuanlu's advice without thinking about it, it fully showed his open-mindedness to accept advice, and some other officials were also encouraged, and they took out their bullet seals one after another to advise the emperor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qian Yuanyu, who had previously impeached Wei Zhongxian, stood up again and impeached Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, saying that Pan Ruzhen was the first local governor to write to Wei Zhongxian to set up a shrine.

It is also the imperial history Wang Jiazheng who impeached Wei Zhongxian before, this time he impeached Yang Gongchun, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, saying that this person has nothing to do with Wei Wei on the surface, but in fact he can be content with his position, completely because he secretly took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, and also asked the emperor to clean up the southern capital, and put all the garrison eunuchs and the guards of the ministers and the party attached to Wei Shun to prison for punishment, and made a list, in addition to the great eunuch Yang Gongchun, there are also Liu Zhixuan, the governor of Caojiang, the governor of Nanjing Town, and others.

Of course, Nanjing's garrison eunuchs have to be replaced, since someone is impeached, then it just takes the opportunity to take it, as for the other Nanjing town guards, all those who are not in Zhu Daming's usable list, as long as someone impeaches, they will inevitably be won.

Therefore, Zhu Daming allowed the impeachment of Qian Yuanyu and Wang Jiazheng on the spot, and asked the two to hand over the impeachment and the collected evidence to the cabinet minister Li Guowei after they dispersed, and Li Guowei discussed and convicted him together with the Inspectorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple.

The two of them were impeached one by one, and they were also excited in their hearts, and immediately verbally thanked them and retreated.

However, it was not over, after seeing that the two of them retreated, Zhu Daming immediately ordered Jinyiwei to command Gong Yonggu, and sent people to quickly pass on the order to Nanzhen Fusi Luo Yangxing, and on the day of the order, he immediately arrested Pan Ruzhen, Yang Gongchun, Liu Zhixuan and others, confiscated the family property, went down to Nanzhen Fusi Prison, and waited for the conviction of the Three Law Divisions.

These people have taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian for many years, and they have been in a high position in the rich land of Jiangnan for many years, which one does not have a million family properties, and now that the East Window incident happened, Zhu Daming will not let these wealth cheapen others.

With Li Guowei, Gong Yonggu and others receiving the promise, the full palace of civil and military also praised the emperor Shengming.

Zhu Daming waved his hand, and then said: "Today's dynasty, in addition to listening to the government, there is one more thing to announce. I previously issued an order to let the Governor's Office of the Five Armies work with the Ministry of War to send an order to the Nine Frontiers and the Beijing Camp to truthfully report the actual number of soldiers, and now there is a conclusion. A total of 400,000 soldiers were reported in Jiubian and Jingying. I have decided that, according to this amount, ten taels per capita, four million taels of silver will be taken out of the inner treasury to make up part of the arrears for the soldiers of Jiubian and Jingying. ”

After saying this, the whole hall was filled with exclamations. Some people marveled that it was for the emperor to take out four million taels from the internal treasury at one time, and some people were amazed because the nine-sided army, which was originally known as one million, turned out to be strong outside and capable in the middle, and only dared to report 400,000, even so, there must be water in it, and the real number is probably even more unbearable.

The cabinet ministers already knew about this, and those who didn't know it were still talking about it, Zhu Daming signaled Cao Huachun, and Cao Huachun hurriedly stepped forward to stop the discussion in the hall.

After the ministers in the palace calmed down again, Zhu Daming said again: "This time, the Military Aircraft Department and the Inspectorate will be jointly responsible for the repayment of arrears. The Cabinet, the Military Aircraft Department, and the Inspectorate should determine as soon as possible the candidates for the imperial history of the towns and the Beijing camp in the nine border towns, and the officials of the six ministries and various departments and provinces, and those who are interested in border affairs, can recommend themselves. I selected thirteen superintendents from among them, and when they returned to the court after serving for three years, they were all promoted and appointed. Moreover, from now on, those who enter the cabinet must have the experience of six books or local governors, and those who serve as six books and local governors must have experience in military affairs or side affairs. ”

After saying this, in the astonished voice of the hall, Zhu Daming looked at Shi Fenglai and other ministers and said: "The cabinet and the ministry should list this as a rule for selecting and appointing talents. ”

For Shi Fenglai and other ministers, these new rules for selecting and employing people established by the emperor no longer have any effect on them, and only the latecomers are restricted, so they are actually very beneficial to them, and they can use this article to exclude many potential opponents. However, this is not good news for the squires of the six ministries today.

According to the previous rules, the six squires are all candidates for cabinet ministers, as long as you pass the court push level, the emperor doesn't care what kind of experience you have in the past.

It is precisely because of this that by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the party struggle between the courtiers will become more and more intense.

Because if you don't form a party, there will be no one to carry a sedan chair for you, and when it comes to the court push, you won't have enough votes.

However, once you form a party, even if you succeed in entering the cabinet and becoming prime minister, you will be dragged down by the party you have formed, and finally you will have to fall into the whirlpool of party struggle and become a tool of party struggle.

What Zhu Daming is doing now is to set up new rules so that all officials who aspire to become cabinet ministers know what to do to enter the cabinet.

That is to say, you need your service experience to meet the requirements of the cabinet, you don't need to form a party, you can naturally join the cabinet, and you don't need to spend a lot of time and energy on weaving various relationship networks.

For such a rule, some waiters in the six ministries instinctively want to oppose it, such as Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren of the Ministry of Rites, Cheng Jiming, He Ruzhong, and Qian Longxi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, all of whom had the opportunity to directly become cabinet ministers, but now I am afraid that they will have to find a way to seek a governor in the nine sides or places.

For the governor, of course, these people are a little disdainful to do it, after all, most of the previous governors were people who failed to compete for the waiter in the six departments, and left Beijing to take office with the title of deputy capital of the Inspectorate or the title of the imperial history of the capital.

For these Beijing officials, leaving Beijing to take up their posts, even if they are promoted, is also a kind of debasement. Only the closer you are to the emperor, the more successful your career will be.

Because only in the middle of the court, by the emperor's side, can you have the opportunity to influence the emperor or influence the government, and can you complete the life ideal of a Confucian minister ruling the country and leveling the world.

It should be said that this was the case with the mainstream of the entire social trend of thought at that time.

Therefore, all officials in the world are proud to be officials in Beijing, and they are all proud to be in the cabinet.

It's just that this kind of trend of thought and orientation is not what Zhu Daming is happy to see, and many capable ministers have wasted too much energy on party struggles in the DPRK and China, and they could have played a huge role in the local area.

People like Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, who entered the cabinet in the first year of Chongzhen in history, and successively served as the first assistant, during which the party strife continued, and the internal friction was serious, which made the situation in the late Ming Dynasty that was already going downhill more corrupt step by step, and finally went to extinction, and these two people were also listed as traitors in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" and left a stench for 10,000 years.

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren thought about it again and again, but finally did not stand up against it, and at this time, Shi Fenglai and other ministers led the civil and military leaders of the palace to call His Majesty Shengming.

These few squires who have been a little cautious, after all, are a minority in the palace, and as the second official of the six departments, it sounds good, but the actual power is not great, and they don't have much right to speak in the imperial palace, so they can only bow down and shout to Your Majesty together with the worship of the ministers.

After waiting for the ministers to express their attitude, Zhu Daming continued: "After the selection of the thirteen superintendents of the imperial history, each with a hundred Jinyi guards and Dongchang officials, according to the registration book of the Beijing camp and the nine borders, carry the corresponding salaries and silver, and go to the Beijing camp and the nine border towns to verify the soldiers again, and personally meet the people to distribute them, so as to ensure that the silver in my inner treasury is not bad in the hands of the low-level soldiers. The imperial history of the nine-sided prison army is given a sword, but if the town will not accept it, it can be cut first and then played. ”

Originally, the imperial historians in the palace were still hesitant to serve on the nine sides, after all, the nine sides were bitter cold, and they were with the martial artists all day long, although there was the temptation to enter the cabinet in the future, but after all, it was too far away, but after all, they heard what the emperor said now, many people secretly made up their minds, the emperor awarded Shang Fang Sword, which is equivalent to the emperor sent by the Qincha, although there is no Qincha name, but there is the power of the Qincha, in addition to not being able to participate in military command, other powers can be said to be boundless.

Besides, in the past, there were all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for the ministers of the Nine Border Supervision Army, but now that it is their turn to have a chance, how can they retreat, many young imperial historians, including Ni Yuanlu, seem to have suddenly found a new direction for their careers and lives.
