Seeing Zhu Cihong, Chongzhen was holding the generalissimo's crown dress in his own hands, and the smile on his face had never been so gentle and cordial since Chongzhen himself could remember...... The royal years, the family affection of the heavenly family, is really weak...... However, the son in front of him, he didn't say anything about his filial piety, he didn't say anything about his ability, in the past few months, in addition to a few concubines in the harem, the two queens, several princes, and princesses have all come out with a bit of unity.

Empress Zhang even praised Zhu Cihong when she mentioned it, and her tone and expression were Zhu Cihong's closest female elders, without any cover-up.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen himself was jealous!

When he ascended the throne, Empress Zhang, the imperial sister-in-law, also had high hopes for him...... Chongzhen suddenly remembered that day seventeen years ago, his eldest brother, the elder brother of the Apocalypse who was almost unconscious from his illness, also showed such a gentle and kind smile on his face, and gently beckoned to him, the young vassal king who had just transitioned from a teenager to a young man at the age of seventeen, and said to him gently: "Come, my brother should be Yao Shun!" ”

In a flash, seventeen years have passed...... With all kinds of complicated emotions, Chongzhen said softly: "Come, Wu'er come forward!" ”

"Yes, Father!"

is different from Chongzhen's somewhat sentimental appearance, but Zhu Cihong is strong and high-spirited.

Now is the time to feel nostalgic for the past!

Don't talk about foreign enemies, Li Zicheng still has a "million" hero!

To be honest, Li Zi divided his troops into two ways, and the one he led was originally a weak division, and it was not surprising that he was pierced and disabled by Azig all the way.

However, the other road led by Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Nai, Hao Shaoqi and others arrived in Huguang without damage and took root. Later, Li Zicheng died, and there was no backbone along the way, so he had no choice but to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for He Tengjiao and Zhang Kuang and other Ming Dynasty officials who were brain-dead to the extreme, and still squeezed out and divided the loyal battalion when the nation was in danger, with nearly 300,000 remnants of the Dashun army, it would not be difficult to get 100,000 elite soldiers and recover Hubei and Jiangnan!

The strength of the Dashun army still exists, Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army should not be underestimated, although in history these two soldiers and horses failed in the endgame of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Great Shun Army was silent, the Great Western Army was coaxed, and the good situation was lost, but since history has changed, who knows what hell will happen underneath!

Go to the crown, add the crown again, change the robe again, wear the Longquan sword left by Emperor Chengzu, receive the seal letter, and carry the bow and arrow...... After a whole set of ceremonies, the crown prince in front of him officially became the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, and nominally, he has the right to command the world's soldiers and horses!

Doing so is tantamount to adding an additional prime minister's overall boss above the military department, the military governor's office, and the military affairs office.

"Congratulations to the emperor and congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

After the ceremony was completed, Ma Shiying took the lead, and the five military ministers had different thoughts, but they all knelt down with each other to congratulate the emperor and the crown prince.

"The article on the sacrifice of the crown prince and the generalissimo was immediately written by the Ministry of Rites and read by the sacrifice of Haotian!"

"The military department and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies said that if there is any military affairs in the future, they will all be sent to the Generalissimo's Mansion!"

"Write the decree immediately, forward it to the cabinet, and send an edict to the world!"

"The Ministry of Engineering will immediately set up a general platform outside the Hongwu Gate, and the crown prince will review the three armies and swear to the Northern Expedition!"

The emperor issued an edict in succession, and the five ministers agreed in succession.

At this time, it can be seen that the system of the Military Affairs Department has come to deal with government affairs. Such a major event, put aside Chongzhen's temper before, it must be that the cabinet and various ministries and the nine secretaries, and the imperial historian and the official will meet together at the court meeting, and the discussion will not be decided, and even the matter that has been discussed in private will be attacked and opposed by the masses, and it is not unprecedented.

At present, the major policy is almost a word, and the Minister of War can make suggestions, but he is not a speech official, and he has no power to refute objections, unless he resigns on the spot, otherwise, he can only do things according to orders.

At the moment, Chongzhen even issued an edict, Ma Shiying and others discussed the details, because the matter was big, and it was inconvenient for the people to draw up the decree, so Qian Qianyi and Wu Weiye wrote it themselves, a literary leader, a great talent who can rank among the top five in Ming poetry, and it was really dependent on Ma Ke to write a few edicts, and after a while, all the edicts were written, and after being presented to Chongzhen's imperial review, they were printed down, and it was the official edict.

At this point, Ma Shiying still feels like she is in a dream!

Everything is too bright and too direct, it doesn't look like the system of the Ming court and officialdom!

Thinking about a few months ago, Li Zicheng's army was about to close, Chongzhen and the cabinet, as well as the officials of the ministries and halls, were still arguing with each other, transferring troops and saying that there was no pay, and no one seconded the move to the south.

The current system of the Military Affairs Department is simply wonderful!

Thinking about his position as Prime Minister of Military Affairs, a few days ago I felt that I couldn't enter the cabinet, I was ashamed, and I was also full of doubts about joining the Military Affairs Department, and at this moment, I only have gratitude to the crown prince!

It's really not in the mountains, you can't take the treasure and go back, you don't enter the game, I don't know the sweet and bitter taste...... "You go down, or send it to the court, or send it to Mingfa, or explain it face-to-face, and the things agreed upon by the court this morning must be handled as soon as possible and cannot be delayed." If you receive the edict, you must repeat it within three days, whether you can do it in time, if you can, the time required, the list of officials and officials who handle it must be listed, if you can't do it, write down the reason, and the repetition will be known to me. If there is no recital within the time limit, it will be handled as a whole according to the consultation method, and all ministries and governors will know! ”

"Yes, the ministers obey!"

This recital archiving system is also Zhu Cihong's insistence.

The bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty had the same thing as the Qing Dynasty in many ways, and procrastination was one of them.

After dealing with national affairs for a long time, Chongzhen himself felt very tired, but summoning the minister of the military department was only the first step of the court meeting, and there was also the cabinet at the bottom, the yamen of the six ministries and five temples, the various yamen, and the emergency reports of the governors from all over the country.

He is only in his thirties, but in later life, at a glance, he looks at least forty years old, and his body is not strong, that is, because of long-term fatigue and depression.

The cabinet still retains the power to vote and the power to deal with the overall balance of the ostensible major policies, so in the system, the cabinet is still very respected, and recently in the lower ministry, the scholars will be promoted from the first grade to the first grade, and given to the horses, seats, in short, the real power is gradually encroaching, and the surface of the effort, but the university scholars are getting higher and higher.

The ministers of the ministry and the temple have not yet been matched.

However, this is not urgent, Chongzhen has experienced the threshold of life and death, and he is not the same surname as before, some things, you might as well be calm, but better.

............ "The crown prince is going to set up a new army between Huai and Xu, salary, food, ordnance and uniforms, and personnel deployment. ”

The emperor was tired, read all the edicts, sealed them, and issued them. Looking at the scene outside, it was almost dawn.

The sky was bright, and there were whispering voices and rustling footsteps near the Qianqing Palace, and there was also gradual movement on the other side.

The emperor summoned the cabinet and the ministers of the ministry and the minister of military affairs is different, the latter is in the Qianqing Palace, the former is in the Zuoshun Gate or the platform of the Fengxian Palace, or the Fengxian Palace court, that is, the court meeting of the Eight Classics, the cabinet and the ministry are also on the front of the story, and there is a way to deal with it, the emperor just needs to say: "I know." ”

Or, "Yes." ”

Or "the ministry knows." ”

In short, it is an official article, which is completely different from the situation when the Military Affairs Department is in serious deliberations.

At this time, even if the head of the call was officially over, led by Ma Shiying, the five ministers kowtowed and withdrew, the crown prince knelt, kowtowed and knelt to thank the emperor, and talked about Ma Shiying's performance for a while, Chongzhen agreed, and the crown prince also praised it, and after a delay for a while, Zhu Cihong then withdrew.

Because it was an order, the crown prince went directly to the military affairs office.

At this time, the military affairs ministers had already copied and sent the edict prepared by the appropriate people, filed it, and printed it with the military affairs department, and then sent it to the cabinet and the military department of the military department, and at the same time, the military ministers wrote notes and sent miscellaneous servants to summon the hall officials of various ministries or Langzhong, or the officials who should be in charge to come over and explain the matter.

And at this moment, the emperor is going to the outside court!

Zhu Cihong also felt at this time that although he used the slave system, the Ming and Qing dynasties were not far apart, and these products of the Qing Dynasty were really very handy to use.

In addition to being proud, he is also quite worried, but for the time being, he can only reform the big policy like this, otherwise, the gods will not be able to save the Ming!

"Ministers greet His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Although it is said that the title of generalissimo of the conquest of the thief was added, but it has always been the most important thing in China is the imperial power, during the Qing season, some ministers persuaded the emperor to increase the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, which provoked the center of the Qing court to be angry, because the emperor's dignity is far above the marshal of what Raushzi, barbarian rules, how can he learn?

Now Zhu Cihong's generalissimo still has a bit of the taste of the prince supervising the country in the past, in the Ming Dynasty, the crown prince does not come to government affairs, regardless of the military, just study for nearly 200 years, at this time, although the edict has come down, everyone is still a little ignorant when greeting, as if they don't know how to be caught off guard. So when they greeted them, everyone was still only called the crown prince, and anyway, the kneeling etiquette was according to this rule, and it was not wrong.

Zhu Cihong was very casual, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "With such a little effort just now, it is very boring to bow and kowtow." I don't think we need to make such a fuss, let's get down to business. ”

Everyone was just busy and stinking to death, but their hearts were always up and down. The prince opened the mansion, I don't know what kind of system it is, which minister to call, where to station, where to get the soldiers, horses, money and food?

Of course, these are trivial and boring things compared to taking the oath on the altar, but these are all urgent matters that need to be solved urgently......
