It is a good thing and a big deal to pay the arrears to the nine sides. Although the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info did not touch the savings of the user department, it should also let the court know.

One is to let the world know that the emperor attaches importance to the nine sides, and the other is to let the world know that the emperor is not a dime, although the silver copied by the eunuch party has entered the inner treasury, but the ultimate goal is to use it for national purposes.

So the next day, on the fifth day of the twelfth month, the emperor called Daqi again.

After experiencing the emperor's diligence and illness in the first few months, the courtiers of Jingshi basically recognized the current rules, that is, the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth of the first month of each month, if nothing else, the emperor came to attend the big court meeting, and the other time it was a small court meeting between the emperor and the cabinet and the military aircraft department.

At the beginning, every day in the court, the courtiers came, but the emperor did not necessarily come, and when the emperor did not come, he would ask Cao Huachun to come over and say that there was something to do, and there was nothing to retreat from the court. Although there is no explicit edict now, the courtiers have also figured out the law.

In fact, most of the ministers don't want to get up on the third watch and go to the court on the fifth watch, which is barely acceptable in the summer, but now the weather is cold, and the courtiers are also happy that the emperor will not hold a big court meeting in the morning.

Therefore, when the emperor first dropped out of the court, some imperial historians wrote to persuade the emperor to cheer up and be diligent in government, but later more and more people felt that this was also good.

The emperor is not completely absent from the court, and all kinds of court affairs are not like Wanli or the Apocalypse years, which are always delayed because of the emperor's neglect of government, so gradually no one is idle and has nothing to do to find himself uncomfortable.

It has only been less than two months, and a new rule has been formed, every five dynasties, and at other times, the emperor goes to Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall to discuss with the ministers, and those who do not have this qualification should of course go to what they should do.

Early in the morning of December 15th, Zhu Daming got up and had a simple breakfast with the queen in Kunning Palace, and then saw that the sun was almost rising, and set up the imperial palace. The people who are qualified to go to the Imperial Palace, except for the imperial historian, the rest are high-ranking ministers in the Beijing officials.

These people are all human spirits, several dynasties, when the emperor came, they also felt the law, so they will not get up on the third watch as before, and the fifth watch will be in place, but the fifth watch will get up, and they will come after a simple breakfast, and the time will be completely catch-up. This is also a relief for them, which can be described as two pities for each other.

Zhu Daming, accompanied by the celebrant supervisor, Dongchang, Jinyi Wei and Gongwei Siren, entered the Imperial Palace, bowed down to the hundred officials, and then sat on the throne, asked the hundred officials to be flat, and so on.

After completing a set of procedures, Zhu Daming said: "Before the discussion, I will say a word, and in the future, every fifth day of every month, I will go to the Imperial Palace to listen to the government." At other times, I discussed with the ministers in the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Palace, and summoned the ministers. ”

The traditional so-called Chen Shi Zheng is eight o'clock in the morning in later generations. After speaking, without waiting for the ministers to squeak, he signaled Cao Huachun to start the dynasty.

Cao Huachun immediately stepped forward and shouted: "On the fifth day of the first month of December, the emperor arrives, and if there is something to do, he will play early, and he will retire from the court if he has nothing to do." ”

As soon as the words fell, a courtier walked out of the civil official train, stepped forward to bow and salute, and then said: "Ni Yuanlu, the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, has something to play. ”

Zhu Daming certainly had an impression of Ni Yuanlu, so he nodded at him and motioned for him to say. This Ni Yuanlu is basically a positive figure in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and he is also one of the few civil servants who died after Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself.

Just thinking about it, I only heard Ni Yuanlu say: "Your Majesty, since Wei rebelled and was punished, the people who were attached to Wei rebel inside and outside the court were either killed or imprisoned, which shows that Your Majesty is wise, but now although the inside and outside of the Beijing division are clear, and the nine sides and the world are especially unappeased, there are many party members of Wei Rebellion, and some of them are still in power, or they are feudal officials, or they are town guards. Especially in the important towns of the nine borders, there are still ministers of the prison army sent by Wei Wei. The minister thought that this was very inappropriate. The minister asks His Majesty to dismiss the prison army and ministers of the towns on the nine sides as soon as possible, to rectify the lawbreakers among them, and to punish them according to the law. ”

Of course, Zhu Daming also considered this matter, and originally planned to deal with the repayment of military salaries in conjunction with this matter. So after listening to Ni Yuanlu's words, he first nodded, then looked at Shi Fenglai and other cabinet ministers, and asked, "What does the cabinet think?" ”

Before Shi Feng came, he saw that the emperor had a great intention of agreeing, so he said tentatively: "Now the ministers of the prison army are indeed sent by the first emperor, and now Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than four months, and it is reasonable to replace him." The replacement of the Cabinet of Governors is a private matter for His Majesty and is at His Majesty's discretion. However, if it is said that it will be abolished, please think twice and set up a supervisory army for the towns on the nine sides, which has been a practice since Hongzhi. The general army is in charge of training and fighting, and the supervising army is in charge of money, food, and meritorious service, and checks and balances each other, so that the border towns are safe. If we only talk about abolition and there is no alternative, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate, and I ask Your Majesty to think twice. ”

Zhu Daming looked at Li Guoyi, and Li Guoyao immediately said: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

At this time, Sun Chengzong bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Ni Yuanlu's words are reasonable, and now the ministers of the town supervisors in the nine sides were all sent by the first emperor back then, and the ministers in charge of Wei rebels back then, there is no doubt that the people sent by them were all Wei rebel henchmen. As for whether to replace or dismantle, the minister thought that the ministers of the supervising army could be abolished, and at the same time the civil ministers could be appointed as the supervising army, so as to correct the shortcomings of the ministers and the supervising army, and there was no worry about the end of the town. This is a little bit of the minister's opinion, please Your Majesty to learn clearly. ”

As soon as Sun Chengzong finished speaking, a group of people knelt down in the Wenchen train, and they all said: "Your Majesty asks Your Majesty to dismiss the lieutenant officers of the supervising army, and choose the Wenchen who knows the soldiers to supervise the border towns of the army." ”

Zhu Daming saw this, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, then withdraw the supervising army ministers of the towns in the nine borders, and the imperial court will uniformly dispatch the supervising army to the imperial history, and the supervising army and the imperial history will replace the original ministers, and continue to be in charge of the money, grain, and meritorious affairs of each town, which will be directly subordinate to the Inspectorate, and will not be under the management of the governors and general soldiers of the towns in the nine borders." As for the candidates for the Imperial History of the Supervisory Army, the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department will select and appoint them from among the six departments of the Cabinet within three days, together with the Inspectorate. ”

The emperor's words made Ni Yuanlu stunned when he heard it, it turned out that things could be done like this. His original intention was just to eliminate the endless evil, remove the eunuchs of the prison army, and continue to fight the eunuchs, like them, the Jinshi literati like them, the most worried is that the ministers interfere in politics, now the emperor Shengming is strong, and the problem of the ministers interfering in politics is almost gone, but the problem of the ministers and the army has not been solved, I thought that this matter was not so easy, but I didn't expect the emperor not only agreed, but also thought more carefully than him, Ni Yuanlu, who has always been high and proud, suddenly felt that the emperor in front of him was unfathomable, although he was young, but he understood and grasped the government, It is much more profound than him, a Jinshi who was in the top two in the second year of the Apocalypse.

Sun Chengzong, Zhang Weixian, and the courtiers in the main hall, their inner thoughts were similar to Ni Yuanlu's, and they were all shocked by the emperor's skillful wrists, is this emperor who is only eighteen years old really only eighteen years old?

Of course, at this moment, they are not allowed to think too much, the emperor's voice fell for a moment, and the civil and military ministers in the hall, under the leadership of Shi Fenglai and other ministers, all knelt down and shouted "The emperor is wise, long live my emperor".

Li Biao, the imperial history of the Inspectorate Zuodu, who was appointed after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, stood up and thought in his heart that this emperor was indeed wise and wise. In the future, the power and responsibility of the Inspectorate will be greater, not only responsible for supervising the words and deeds of hundreds of officials in the court, supervising the government affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, but also responsible for supervising the actions of the Governor of the Nine Sides and Twelve Towns on behalf of the imperial court in the future.

Some of the young and vigorous imperial historians in the palace, like their superiors, also suddenly raised their eyebrows, it seems that the emperor still attaches importance to the officials.
