Chapter 710: Can't wait any longer
The ministers looked up, but saw that the person who spoke was none other than Wang Xijue, the head of the cabinet.
Although the capital has long been about to rain, the news that the emperor and the first assistant will reform the rule of officials is circulating everywhere, and His Majesty's various behaviors also show this sign, but no one can guess the specific day.
This kind of thing obviously needs an opportunity, and today happens to be a very appropriate opportunity......
"Bring it in!"
The ministers were in a state of confusion, Zhu Changluo also put away his lazy look, slowly sat up straight, and ordered Wang An, who had a calm face, to take the song from the old Shoufu and take a closer look.
Standing in the focus of everyone's eyes, Wang Xijue is not the first time, most of the time, it is because of this one on the throne, so the old Shoufu is almost used to it.
But I still can't help but slander in my heart, this unexpected routine of the Son of Heaven is really too deep!
To be honest, in Wang Xijue's heart, he did not feel that this trip to Sinong Temple was a suitable opportunity to start the reform of official governance, in the final analysis, he was still a scholar in the traditional sense, and he was not used to discussing political affairs in such an informal setting.
The ideal occasion in his heart is the next pilgrimage meeting!
Since the new Son of Heaven ascended the throne, the large-scale court meeting once every ten years has also been reactivated, and it is Wang Xijue's idea to start this officialdom storm on such an occasion.
But helplessly, the Son of Heaven insisted that he present the recital when he was in the Sinong Temple today, and the old Shoufu did not resist Zhu Changluo in the end, so he had to agree.
Who knew that after arriving at this Sinong Temple, the Son of Heaven would come to such a hand, and he wanted to use the so-called cultivation to promote a non-Jinshi official to become a third-grade, which really frightened the old Shoufu.
His reform plan strives for a smooth transition, but these reforms will inevitably touch the interests of some people, so Wang Xijue has always planned to start his own reform under the premise of maintaining a stable situation in the court.
For this matter, the old Shoufu, who has never been very keen on communicating, has been running around these days, and has finally managed to get a few bigwigs in the court through various means, who knew that the Son of Heaven suddenly came to such a move.
Isn't this a clear attempt to stimulate the emotions of the ministers?
So the old Shoufu hurriedly stood up to maintain the scene, but who knew that suddenly the style of painting changed, and a Li Tingji appeared, proposing to abolish the Gong of the Dragon in exchange for the opportunity for non-Jinshi officials to be promoted to the third rank, and the most surprising thing is that the Son of Heaven also agreed.
So in a moment, the situation reversed again, and the promotion of Xu Guangqi, which was supposed to stimulate the mood of the courtiers, became a good agent to appease the emotions of the former emperor's former ministers.
Although the result is good, Lao Shoufu said that he really can't stand this son of heaven anymore, and even with his nerves that have been trained in the officialdom, he can't support it.
That's why he made up his mind not to wait for the opportunity, and started the long-planned reform of government officials at this time!
Of course, another reason that made Wang Xijue more determined was that he could see that the Son of Heaven still had many thoughts of his own in his heart, and today's incident was a clear example, on the one hand, he was surprised by the suddenness of the Son of Heaven's actions, and on the other hand, he also understood more and more the Son of Heaven's style of acting.
That is, as long as the Son of Heaven sincerely believes that it will be done no matter what, even if it is a certain price to pay, the Son of Heaven will never give up!
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven obviously has such an ability, maybe this time the Son of Heaven's actions are thoughtful and can still ensure that the stability of the court will not be affected, but who can guess the next time?
If the Son of Heaven comes back to attack suddenly, his old bones may not be able to deal with it, so the best way is to bring the Son of Heaven's energy back as soon as possible, so that the Son of Heaven can concentrate on promoting the reform of official governance, and he will not have the heart to think about those unexpected things.
"Xuan!"
What made Wang Xijue breathe a sigh of relief was that the Son of Heaven had finally not forgotten today's business, and after carefully reading the book in his hand, he pondered for a while, then handed it to Wang An beside him, and spoke.
"Your Majesty the old minister, to the minister in charge of the cabinet, auxiliary center for several years, Emperor Meng Xian does not give up today, repeatedly consult the old minister to the country on the form of government, the minister painstakingly and painstakingly, think about it again and again, think that the national government is important, but the official is a word, the official is clear, the government is clear, the government is accessible, the court is peaceful, the people are blessed with the grace of the four industries, and the rule of the officials, lies in the system, the first Emperor Taizu set the Central Plains, set the court legal system, to the court was initially built, the regulation is not complete, Emperor Chengzu set up the cabinet, supplement the center, to level the court bureau, the previous emperors have added to this day, so that the court is redundantAlthough the cabinet is in a place of harmony, it is not enough, the cabinet fights with each other, or the cabinet weighs on the six ministries, or the six ministries ignore the cabinet, which is a very important thing!
First, re-clarify the powers and responsibilities of the yamen, abolish redundant personnel, and streamline departments, second, focus on the cabinet and light the six ministries, and allow the cabinet to supervise the behavior of the six ministries, and the cabinet reconciles the government and government, and is in the center of the center, without the right to supervise and supervise, it is difficult to assist the monarch and stabilize the court situation. ”
Tuo Zhu Changluo's repeated reprimands, the court's current recitals are concise and to the point, because he knew that he would read it in public today, so Wang Xijue also wrote as simple and clear as possible, and it didn't take long to read it.
It's just that as soon as I finished reading this recital, it caused a burst of discussion among the ministers, and the old Shoufu's pen is really big!
The three suggestions, the whip and the blood, every word hit the vital place, no wonder with the power of the Son of Heaven and Yuan Fu, they had to prepare for so long.
Not to mention anything else, just clarifying the rights and responsibilities of each yamen is a big taboo in the imperial court.
You must know that the development of the yamen above the court to the present, there is indeed a very serious overlapping phenomenon of departments, but this phenomenon is not groundless, one is in the principle of mutual checks and balances in the Ming Dynasty, and the other is because of this setting, so that officials have room to pass the buck to each other.
And once the rights and responsibilities are completely clarified, many things will become transparent, and in officialdom, I don't know how many things cannot be transparent.
What's more, clarifying rights and responsibilities means stripping out a part of the power from some yamen to another yamen, which is a real cut from the body, this old Shoufu, is he really not afraid of being rejected by the court...... 21010
