readx; The ministers participated in the Japanese lecture originally to teach the young emperor a good lesson, first, to show that he was knowledgeable, so that the emperor could increase his respect for himself, and expand his right to speak; Second, they really want to use Confucian orthodoxy to influence the emperor and create a "Taoist monarch" in their minds.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen was good, but instead used the topic to give a lesson to the ministers, and asked Xu Guangqi, who had not yet resumed his official position, to talk about the world map. This can make these people who are full of wealth a lot of anger!

Moreover, Zhu Youzhen also used the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Training" to clarify the territory of the Ming Empire for the first time. Many ministers did not agree with this, but Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli and Wang Zaijin, three important ministers, supported Zhu Youzhen, and others were not good at opposing on the spot. But for the world map, they are not polite, Mingli criticized Xu Guangqi, but in fact expressed his serious dissatisfaction to the emperor.

From Zhu Youzhen's point of view, although he expected that the new thing of the "world map" would definitely be difficult for some people to accept, he did not expect that the ministers' backlash would be so strong that it would even rise to the level of "heresy." And not only these old men who have become important ministers, but even those young prisoners of the country, most of them refuse to believe what Xu Guangqi said.

In the end, Sun Chengzong calmed down and asked Xu Guangqi to "rest for a while" and let Lai Zongdao continue to talk about the "Book of Songs", so that the contradiction was temporarily covered up. Of course, Zhu Youzhen also had to sell Sun Chengzong some face, and patiently listened to this daily lecture. This "secret war" between the emperor and the ministers could only be regarded as a tie in the end, and Zhu Youzhen also learned for the first time the powerful power of the bureaucracy in the Ming Dynasty.

After the end of the daily lecture, Zhu Youzhen came to Queen Rui'er's Kunning Palace, thinking that the husband and wife had been separated for more than two months, and now they had just settled down, and they would have to have a good time tonight. Just thinking that the ministers of the DPRK and China refused to believe in the most basic world map, and that it would be difficult for him to carry out any reforms in the future, Zhu Youzhen's mood was completely ruined, and he was even distracted during the meal.

Rui'er saw that Zhu Youzhen was absent-minded, and hurriedly asked Wen Yan about the reason. Of course, Zhu Youzhen had nothing to hide from Rui'er, so he told her what he had said today, and said depressedly: "You said that when we were in Qinwangzhuang that day, we did whatever we wanted." Now that he is the emperor, he is even more restricted! ”

Rui'er was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Rui'er doesn't understand national affairs, and according to the ancestral system, she can't interfere in government affairs." However, when Banzai first ascended the throne, he was no longer facing a small Jingyang County, but the entire Ming Dynasty; The power is greater, but the difficulties faced are also multiplied, and it is normal to have difficulty adapting for a while.

"Banzai can be easy first and then difficult, pick up those things that the ministers don't object to much, then Banzai's authority will become stronger, and if you do those difficult things in the future, the resistance will not be so great. And the implementation of one thing, if it is just Banzai himself to do it is too laborious, if there are some courtiers to help, it will be much smoother. ”

Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt enlightened, and then thought about what happened after he ascended the throne, as Rui'er said. Such a difficult event as overthrowing Wei Zhongxian was achieved with the help of the lord Zhang Weixian and the Qin soldiers. If he directly starts a war against Wei Zhongxian, let alone touching his nose, it is not certain whether he has a life now.

After overthrowing Wei Zhongxian, the reason why his series of decisions were not opposed by the courtiers was because these decisions were actually beneficial to the Donglin Party and other neutrals who had been suppressed by the Eunuch Party for too long. Of course, it is easy to push the boat with the current, but now if you want to sail against the current, it is inevitable that you will be opposed to the ideas that these people most stubbornly adhere to, and even the actual interests.

And Rui'er's idea for him was actually to "boil the frog in warm water" and withdraw the power scattered by the previous emperor from his hands little by little. When all the major powers such as personnel, finance, and military affairs are in control, it will be much easier to implement the new policy. Moreover, it is necessary to focus on cultivating a group of ministers who are loyal to the emperor and have strong executive ability, so that public opinion can be quickly unified and effective implementation of policies can be ensured.

After figuring out this section, Zhu Youzhen was so excited that he didn't even eat, and directly hugged Rui'er to the dragon bed, and thanked her with practical actions.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Youzhen really changed his strategy, and approved some personnel adjustments proposed by the courtiers, especially the "Bu", which made the ministers of the Donglin Department overjoyed.

The so-called "mebu" is actually a re-election of cabinet members. However, the cabinet ministers are in high positions and powers, and the ministers feel that they are the most qualified to do it, and it is inevitable that they will argue about it; The emperor was also in a dilemma, and he was unable to decide on the candidate, so that the government was delayed.

Later, I don't know which emperor started and invented the method of "divination", which is to put it bluntly, it is to draw lots. That is, a few are randomly selected from a large list of candidates, and whoever is selected will be a minister; Then in order of age, the oldest is the first secondary, the second oldest is the secondary, and so on.

Zhu Youzhen previously thought that this law was child's play, and second, he was unwilling to let the Donglin Party completely control the cabinet, so he never approved the "Bu", which made those ministers who were eager to replace Shi Fenglai and other cabinet ministers anxious. Today I finally agreed, and I was "very happy".

However, Zhu Youzhen also put forward his own requirements, that is, the ceremony should be carried out after Enke, and the emperor could also nominate several candidates in person. The ministers thought that the emperor finally agreed, but they didn't want to make any extraneous complications, so they also agreed, thinking that there were dozens of candidates anyway, and the vast majority of them were from the Donglin Party, and the probability of winning the others was really small.

After deciding on this major event, Zhu Youzhen demanded that the four guards in the palace be abolished and a new imperial city guard regiment be established on the grounds that the four guards in the palace did not perform well in the Beijing mutiny.

The ministers did not have much objection to Zhu Youzhen's request, after all, this is a major matter related to the palace guards, and it is also a family affair of the emperor, and it has little to do with the government. Although some people think that the four guards were set up during the Xuande period, they are regarded as ancestral laws, and they should not be moved lightly; However, Zhu Youzhen insisted on his own opinion on the grounds that "there are many precedents for the increase or decrease of health centers", and they have nothing to say.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen immediately issued an edict and appointed Yan Ling as the commander of the Imperial City Guard Regiment, with the rank of Zhengsanpin, and the personnel of the Guard Regiment were all selected from the special combat team members and Qin soldiers. As for the original four guards in the palace, they were merged into the three major battalions and temporarily under the command of Xie Sheng, Li Dingguo, and Hao Yongzhong.

In this way, Zhu Youzhen not only ensured the security of the imperial city, but also quietly abolished the establishment of the four guards, taking the first step in institutional reform.

Just as he was about to disperse the dynasty, an official of the military department suddenly broke into the Qianqing Palace and panted and played: "Your Majesty, Liaodong emergency Tang report!" ”
