Chapter 135: Nanjing (23)
After the crown prince returned to Nanjing, the wave of major political renewal brought about by the crown prince finally became more obvious at the end of April.
First of all, the cabinet list was established, and all forces existed, the Donglin Party was headed by Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu was the wing, and the five-person cabinet accounted for two seats, which was a bit of a gap with the "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty", but it was also unsatisfactory.
After all, Shoufu is still in the hands of Shi Kefa, and there is nothing to say at this level.
Zhang Guowei is a well-known local official, who has been in charge of the Jiangnan area for many years, building water conservancy, encouraging agriculture and mulberry, and is a very popular and hard-working official.
Wang Duo and Li Banghua are significant princely people, but the former is an early writer, and the latter is an old-timer in the scientific field, with impeccable qualifications and morality, even if someone wants to say something, they can't grasp it at all.
As soon as this cabinet list came out, it was immediately issued in the form of an edict from the Cabinet and then by the Cabinet and passed through the southeastern provinces.
The sense of bewilderment that the central system lacks will dissipate when the order is received.
This announced that the emperor had officially taken charge of affairs in Nanjing, and had re-established the central system, which was very important for the stability of people's hearts.
The edict on the establishment of the cabinet has just been issued, and the second abolition of the 24 supervision bureaus such as the priest and the second department, and the establishment of the Shaofu, which is managed by the ministers, since the past, the eunuchs and the royal family are responsible for the expenses of the Shaofu, and the system of the lords as the secretary of the Shaofu is considered to be formally established.
Of course, the East Factory no longer exists!
For many ordinary people, they may still be ignorant and do not understand the key points, but for many scholars who mention Dongchang and change their color, this is a good news that is enough to describe the holy virtues of heaven!
Jinyiwei also withdrew with this edict, which attracted the same attention, but it was not as sensational as Dongchang.
Next, it is to set up a military affairs office, and the edict is publicized, with Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, Wang Jiayan, Lu Zhenfei, and Wu Weiye as the ministers of military affairs, and then Yu Huai, Dai Jian and other talented people among the Jiangnan officials as military affairs personnel, and the edict is specially explained, and in the future, everything related to military affairs will be summoned by the military affairs department to accept the holy decree in person, and then the court will send it down, and all localities will follow it.
If military affairs related to government affairs are coordinated, the Military Affairs Department shall consult the Cabinet, and then the Cabinet shall issue such a notice.
This edict is enough to arouse a great deal of discussion, after all, this military affairs office is something that the ancestral system does not have, and it is completely nothing.
And its role is so important!
Every day, face the saint, promise the decree, state the decree, and send it to the court!
This is the scope of the power of the former celebrant, and it has been expanded!
All of a sudden, the Military Affairs Department was a department of power that attracted more attention than the cabinet, but at the beginning of its establishment, the location was very secret, on the side of the Qianqing Palace, and idlers could not get there, and the customs were tightly guarded, and those who trespassed were immediately beheaded, so although there was a lot of discussion, many people were still in the fog about what was going on in this new department, and they could not see it clearly.
It's just that in the eyes of those who care, the Minister of War is already a big man who is worth making friends with and paying attention to!
He also led the front center and left government affairs with Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, and led the right government affairs with sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, and the Jingshi Forbidden Army and Yingjiang were led by these two lords.
However, the forbidden army of the imperial city was not led by the two lords of the governor's office, in line with the ancestral system of the size of the system, these two lords also had nothing to say, but the brocade guard was canceled, and the flag guard and the avant-garde of the government army were no longer re-established, and the Gongwei Division during the Taizu period was re-established, but it was renamed the Guard Division, and Feng Yuanyang, Feng Yuanbiao, Li Banghua, Wang Jiayan and other ministers who followed the emperor's southern hunt were appointed as the ministers of the guards, responsible for the safety of the imperial city and the palace city.
The original Tianjin Fubiao was all changed to the guards under the Guards Division, which were divided into three battalions: the Imperial Forest, the Guards, and the Gongsheng, all of which were used to guard the safety of the palace.
The palace ban system has also been reformed with great fanfare, and it has become more rigorous and thorough.
Next, there are major projects such as the edict to repair the thousand-step corridor, the governor's palace of the five armies, and the yamen of the military department. Coupled with the hard work of Chen Zilong, Fang Yizhi and others, between the inside and outside, there is some subtle sympathy and real recognition for the royal family who fled south and restrained themselves.
In the past, the royal family was an ethereal thing living in Yanjing City, and when it was mentioned, it was like a joke, but now it is close at hand, and the emperor is wearing a patched dragon robe, the crown prince is leading the army outside, and the queen and the concubines and princesses live in a flooded house!
Several sets of combinations of punches, the system is new and old, and the forces of all parties in the appointment of ministers have also been considered, and the abolition of eunuchs and spy organizations, the royal family is unusually frugal and even hard, so for a while, the reaction of public opinion is excellent, although it is a small court in Nandu, but in the eyes of many people, the Ming Dynasty is actually very obvious!
Only Zhu Cihong himself knows that the shelf has been erected, and political changes have quietly begun, but what is the actual effect, don't think too much about it for the time being.
At the very least, it will definitely have a far-reaching impact on the system, and as for how far-reaching the law is, I can't figure it out for the time being.
Everything can only be seen from the sidelines.
At least, so far, Lao Tzu is very right!
When the cabinet was staring at the flow of Dao Ming's edicts, Zhu Cihong thought viciously.
………… In the middle of the night, because the weather is clear, the moonlight is very bright, which also saves a lot of money for the torches and lanterns for passers-by.
On the official road leading to Nanjing, there was a sudden crisp sound of horses' hooves, which was a very dense avenue of pedestrians and merchants, and even at this time, there were many pedestrians who hurried while it was cool in the morning.
At the end of April, it was already very hot during the day in Jiangnan, and it was a good time to rush from midnight to the whole morning, and by noon, it was slightly stuffy.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind them, the people who were originally walking in the middle of the official road hurriedly gave way to both sides, and many people felt strange in their hearts, although the north has been in a trance recently, and Huguang is not very peaceful, but it is not far from Nanjing City, how can there be a large force of cavalry rushing away?
There was no room for too many people, and under the moonlight, a large group of cavalry was soon seen hurrying away.
Under the moonlight, the iron armor of the cavalry seemed to be plated with a layer of pure silver, and the flowing water was full of color, which was very beautiful. The tips of the spears in the hands of the knights shone with a cold light, making the pedestrians involuntarily move farther away.
The first to come seemed to be the leader, about thirty horses, all of them with red cloaks, iron armor all over their bodies, and bronze helmets and red tassels.
This dress is indescribably majestic, and the weapons in the hands of each knight look extremely sharp.
As each cavalry passed, they kept looking at the pedestrians on the road, as if they were looking for some suspicious and unsightly figure.
When swept by their eyes, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads.
The vanguard cavalry passed less than a moment, and there were several figures who looked like generals in iron armor, wearing purple eggplant cloaks, and beautiful mountain armor, and the same bronze helmets and iron armor guards behind them, strong men and horses, and banners one after another, crackling by the summer wind in the middle of the night.
At this point, everyone realized that this was the guard leader of Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang!
"Kneel, all kneel!"
The cavalry of the brigade waved the weapons in their hands and kept shouting in a stiff Guizhou accent...... They are all Ma Shiying's own soldiers brought out of Guizhou, and they are fed with silver, except for Ma Shiying, I am afraid that they will not even buy the emperor's account, under the threat of these short fierce gods, the pedestrians and caravans who are sparsely rushing along the way are kneeling in place, and everyone bows their heads, not daring to look at them casually.
After a while, it was the sound of the gong opening the way, and then there was a team of horses written with the official rank and position and the tall card, if someone is bold enough to take a look, you can see the first team of cards, there is the words "Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs" written on the card, under the cloud pattern is a beautiful small seal, that is, the lacquer looks a little new, obviously just made a new brand.
After the guard of honor, it is a green sedan chair carried by eight people, all of them are sturdy men, in the early morning it is the time when the weather is cold, all of them are sweating profusely, and there are a pair of straw sandals under their feet, and the rustle of the ground is walking, but the sedan chair is smooth and steady, without shaking at all!
The palean chair with a clear face, triangular eyes, a goatee, a short and thin half-aged old man is Ma Shiying of the governor Fengyang.
In the past few years, this governor has also been in the limelight, Henan, Shandong, Huguang, everywhere sent troops to release horses, more wins and fewer losses, and his subordinates also raised a strong town like Huang Degong, and his fame and fame career can be regarded as the top in the local governors.
If Yanjing is not lost, this local powerhouse may not have any chance to enter the center. Compared with the world, the pattern of Nanzhili is still a "small" word.
But the emperor hunted in the south, and half of the country was handed over, and the comparison of strength was completely different.
"My lord, there is the treasure gate ahead, are we waiting for the city gate to open, or?"
Ma Shiying's sedan chair walked no slower than the horse's trot, and the twenty-four sturdy sedan chair drivers were divided into three shifts, and they kept trotting and galloping in shifts, but the Chinese army guerrillas who were waiting back and forth on horseback were tired enough!
Seeing that the city gate was in front of him, the Chinese army rode back to ask for instructions, through the sedan curtain, Ma Shiying's half-open and half-closed eyes only glanced slightly, and for a while, the essence in his eyes was like substance, ** spicy stabbing in the face of the Chinese army.
At this time, Ma Shiying is not the kind of appearance and pattern of a country man, the kind of temperament and look that is invincible, and it is really only a big man with heavy troops and real power in the town for a long time!
"Yes, I got it!"
The Chinese army shuddered, immediately whipped his horse and whipped up, and galloped forward!
Ma Shiying smiled slightly and stroked the gray beard on his chin...... In the city of Nanjing, the situation is changing, this is lively, but we have to take a good look!
Since he wanted to stir up a good stir in this Nanjing city, he took the lead, and led three hundred iron cavalry guards into the city in the middle of the night...... Now, in the city, I'm afraid I have to have a good discussion......
