Chapter 16: Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh

In order to win a good impression, the Ministry of Officials also showed 12 points of ability, and Wu Xianzhi, the acting secretary of the Ministry of Officials, not only did it himself, but also fought at night, rushed to work overnight, and finally came up with the system and norms of the Cabinet and the Military Staff Department in the early morning of the second day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As soon as Lu Chengqi stepped into the vertical arch hall, the eunuch on duty came in to report, and Wu Xianzhi asked to see him outside the hall. Lu Chengqi was made big by the piles of twists and turns, and immediately said, "Please let him in." ”

After a while, a young man with panda eyes strode in and said, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

Lu Chengqi saw that although his black circle was thick, his spirit was extremely uplifted, and he knew that the cabinet and the general staff were there. Immediately smiled: "Come on, show Wu Qing a seat!" ”

Wu Xianzhi obviously didn't care about sitting down, took out a book from his arms, handed it to Lu Chengqi, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

Lu Chengqi didn't care about him, so he immediately spread out and took a closer look. In Lu's plan, cabinet ministers only have advisory powers, not decision-making powers. Of course, they can still make decisions on trivial matters.

What made Lu Chengqi laugh was that in the past half a month, since the review and review, even some ancestral hall disputes have been presented to him, and Lu Chengqi directly approved two words - "boring" and dismissed it. It was also at that time that Lu Chengqi thought of the cabinet system.

However, in the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the first assistant was equal to that of the prime minister, all because the cabinet was too small, the power struggle was too strong, and most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were absurd, so that the power fell aside. Lu Chengqi planned to write in the law, "Cabinet ministers, whether they are the first assistant or the ministers, are appointed by the emperor, and once the emperor does not trust the ministers, they can be removed at any time." ”

The bad thing about the cabinet system in the Ming Dynasty is that although the cabinet has the power to vote, it must rely on eunuchs to send the votes. This greatly violated Lu Chengqi's bottom line, so Lu Chengqi directly stipulated that the folds must be sent to the Wende Hall first, and the cabinet ministers will first approve it, and then send it to the Vertical Arch Hall for him to make the final decision. This matter of governing the country is like cooking a small fresh, and if you are not careful, tens of millions of people will suffer. Lu Chengqi did this just to be cautious.

And the number of cabinet members is set at 12 is the best. It is said that there are three stinkers who have beaten one Zhuge Liang. Not to mention twelve erudite cabinet ministers? Although I dare not say that the efficiency of work has improved, mistakes can be minimized.

At the same time, Lu Chengqi stipulated that as a cabinet minister, he could not be in charge of the six ministries, and the power of the state must not be concentrated in a certain minister, after all, this was the feudal era, and Lu Chengqi was still afraid that someone would oppose him.

Lu Chengqi couldn't help frowning when he saw that there was no place to restrain imperial power in this cabinet, and Wu Xianzhi was frightened. After a series of rectification actions, the entire court was plunged into a storm and storm, and Lu Chengqi's prestige reached the highest.

Lu Chengqi said slowly: "It needs to be changed again, I hope to see that the cabinet ministers must accept the emperor's will only if it is not ridiculous." But it is too absurd to be dismissed. Cabinet ministers were required to assist the emperor with their hearts, but they were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the harem. ”

Only then did Wu Xianzhi settle down and said, "Wechen will change it when he goes back." ”

Lu Chengqi took a look at the General Staff again, he didn't know much about military affairs, but he understood that professional matters should be handled by professionals. Most of the military attachés in the DPRK and China were promoted by virtue of military merits. This is all thanks to Wenzong's military reform, which made it possible to establish this relatively good military attache promotion system. However, there are also some who rely on hereditary military attachés to get involved, and Lu Chengqi also knows it. In a dynasty, there will always be some privileged families, which is inevitable. But how to make the descendants of these special families also have some usefulness? Lu Chengqi didn't have a clue for a while, so he had to put a pot on it and let them mix into the staff department.

Lu Chengqi looked at it word by word, and he didn't see anything wrong. The General Staff is just a means for him to improve his status as a general, and Lu Chengqi's purpose is very simple, that is: forgetting the war will be dangerous! As the old saying goes, born in sorrow and dying in peace, a country has lost even a little blood, and the country has reached the verge of extinction. The example of the Manchu Qing is still vivid, and Lu Chengqi does not dare to take it lightly.

Lu Chengqi put away the fold, handed it back to Wu Xianzhi, and said: "Overall, it's not bad, remember what I said, go back and revise it immediately." Wu Qing, after this purge of corrupt officials, are there still officials to fill the vacancies? ”

Wu Xianzhi said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, there are still many alternate officials, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much. It's just that there aren't many skilled officials left. ”

Lu Chengqi said: "Well, I know, you go down to do things." After the revision, I will give you a list of cabinet ministers. ”

Wu Xianzhi said: "Weichen retired. ”

Lu Chengqi sat quietly for a while in the vertical arch hall alone, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Come on, please come to the Ministry of Rites to come and see you!" ”

As an official in the Dashun Dynasty, although he was quite tall, he had to get up early and report to various departments, which was called Yingmao. That is to say, before the hour, you have to sign in. If you are late, you will have a record of the exam, and if you are late once, your salary will be deducted.

The offices of the six ministries are all in the palace, and if the emperor summons you and you are not there, it will be a great dereliction of duty. Feng Chengping, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, received Lu Chengqi's summons, did not dare to slack off, immediately put down the work in his hand, and followed the inner servants who passed the oracle, all the way to the Vertical Arch Palace.

In fact, Feng Chengping was still quite apprehensive in his heart, he was also a big corrupt official, but he had a very good attitude in admitting his guilt, and almost all his family wealth was donated to the treasury, but all the handles were in Lu Chengqi's hands, and he still felt a little uneasy.

Stepping into the vertical arch hall, Feng Chengping immediately saluted and said: "Weichen see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty......"

Lu Chengqi said impatiently: "Okay, don't say these non-nutritious words, I ask you, when is the spring season?" ”

Feng Chengping didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I have been a scholar for three years, and His Majesty ascended the throne last year, and Enke was only held, and it was only after two years that the Spring Festival was held. ”

Lu Chengqi frowned and said: "I can't wait, I need talents, so let's do it, I decree to convene Enke, open a department, and the topic is proposed by me personally, as long as there is a meritorious person, you can participate, announce it to the whole country, and start the exam on February 15 next year." ”

Now that Lu Chengqi's power has reached its peak, how can Feng Chengping dare to refute even if he is dissatisfied? I had to say, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Immediately, Lu Chengqi called the eunuch Bingbi, drafted a holy decree, and covered it with the jade seal of "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity", handed it to Feng Chengping, and said: "Today is the tenth day of the eighth month, there is still half a year, enough for the children to hurry, you go down and prepare!" ”

After waving off Feng Chengping, Lu Chengqi breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the mountains of twists and turns, Lu Chengqi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Being an emperor is really a tiring errand, and it is also the first high-risk occupation." Maybe sometime it's going to fall on top of the fold pile......"

But what Lu Chengqi didn't know was that since he purged the officialdom, not only his prestige reached the highest point, but also won the support of the people. Everyone happily watched as corrupt officials were caught by the inspectors and confiscated their property, and they all clapped their hands and applauded, and even lit firecrackers to celebrate......
