The new emperor ascended the throne, the process is a bit complicated, and the requirements are also very cumbersome, Zheng Xunrui will not particularly care about these, he has clearly put forward a request to Zhou Yanru and others, that is, the enthronement ceremony should not be too complicated.

Emperor Daming's enthronement ceremony has one of the most interesting situations, that is, the emperor who is about to ascend the throne, always has to implement the three lets, the so-called three lets, that is, three times to push not to be the emperor, the reason is that the emperor has just died, the heart is sad, coupled with their own lack of ability, dare not ascend the throne and so on, for this reason there is also a special group to persuade the emperor to succeed to the throne, composed of the most powerful ministers in the court, again and again to persuade the emperor to succeed to the throne.

This is the habit of Emperor Daming to ascend the throne, but this so-called habit was decisively vetoed by Zheng Xunrui.

Although Zheng Xunrui continued the name of the Ming Dynasty, he knew very well that the Ming Dynasty under his leadership was completely different from the past, there would be huge changes, and many rules would also undergo subversive changes.

Before ascending the throne, Zheng Xunrui was mainly concerned about three things, the first thing was the battle situation led by Yang He to exterminate the remnants of the Dashun army, this matter was very smooth, and Zheng Xunrui's prediction was about the same, after Li Zicheng, Gu Junen and Liu Zongmin and others all died, most of the Dashun army soldiers surrendered, and a small number of stubborn ones were not the opponents of the Zheng family army at all, plus the north was full of devastation, and the leaderless Dashun army could not support it.

The second thing is the stability of Beizhili, Henan and Shanxi, which is in the process of being carried out intensively, and with the arrival of grain in the north, a large number of officials have been dispatched to Beizhili, Henan and Shanxi, and the local government has taken stabilizing the situation as the first thing to do.

The third thing is the adjustment of the functions of various departments in the capital, or rather the change.

There are some changes. In the south, for example, the matter of the gentry paying grain in one piece, for example, the determination of taxes according to the number of acres, such as the collection of taxes on commerce and trade, the support for the development of commerce and trade, and so on, and the implementation of these policies. It is related to the development and growth of the dynasty and whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

The popularity of Hongmen Qianzhuang in various parts of Daming has not attracted too much people's attention, and those businessmen who pay the most attention to Qianzhuang are those who are very clear, but Zheng Xunrui knows very well that Hongmen Qianzhuang will be a giant that will affect the future development of the dynasty's commerce and finance.

The ticket stub of Hongmen Money Bank will not change, just like the deposit certificate after a few hundred years, but the amount of the ticket will soon change, and it will change into real banknotes. Banknotes that are popular in the market, and those that are gold and silver, will gradually be withdrawn from circulation.

Once this is done, Hongmen Money will completely transform into a real bank, and its powerful role will be immediately manifested, and when the time comes, it will show a role that will make many people dumbfounded.

After a long period of observation and experience, as well as a summary of history, Zheng Xunrui knew that some functions in the imperial court had to be adjusted. Of course, the current division of labor cannot reach the level of a few hundred years from now, after all, the development of society has not yet reached that level. At present, the Ming Dynasty is still dominated by agriculture and commerce, and industrialization has hardly appeared.

Zheng Xunrui needs to especially strengthen the functions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the highest supervision, impeachment and recommendation organ, but unfortunately in the late Ming Dynasty, its main functions were hardly played, but it became an important assistant in the party struggle, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was only established in the capital. There is no local government at all, and it is difficult to play the role of real supervision of local officials, although there are more than 100 people in the Imperial Inspectorate, and they are divided according to the quota of each province, but these supervision of the imperial history are generally in the capital. Every year, it is when I go down to patrol the mortgage to understand the situation.

Supervision organs must be strengthened, not only in the capital, but also in provinces, prefectures, and prefectures, and the county level should not be considered for the time being, because after all, the number of officials in a county is too small, and there are only a few people, which is completely different from the situation several hundred years later.

What must be abolished is given to the middle of the matter.

Many of the functions undertaken in the matter are the functions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was not at ease with the officials, so he set up a special supervision of whether the officials are doing their best.

The Jinyi Guard is still established, but its function has completely changed, that is, it is responsible for guarding the imperial city.

The East Factory was abolished, and the eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics.

The system of interrogation by the three divisions of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate should also be adjusted accordingly.

Dali Temple is a special institution for the trial of cases, generally hearing major and difficult cases, especially involving high-ranking officials and dignitaries and relatives of the emperor, the criminal department is to hear many ordinary cases, encountering a particularly large impact, or particularly difficult cases, the implementation of the system of three divisions.

Regarding the adjustment in this regard, Zheng Xunrui thinks the most.

Judicial justice is not as simple as words, it takes a lot of effort to do this, such as judicial independence, etc., but now it is impossible to do, after all, this is the era of imperial power, but one thing can be done, that is, Dali Temple or the Criminal Department independently try the case, and in the process of hearing the case, no department shall interfere.

The key to hearing cases independently lies in whether the country's supreme ruler can unconditionally support it.

Zheng Xunrui is confident that he can do this.

Regarding the status of the military attaché, this is Zheng Xunrui's most headache, the low status of the military attache in the Ming Dynasty has a lot to do with the military household system, because of the land annexation, the military household system basically collapsed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the guard did not have any combat effectiveness, but the officers of the hundred households and thousands of households are basically inherited and inherited, and there is no need to take an exam, the old man is a thousand households, and the son inherits after retiring, as well as the descendants of the founding heroes of Zhu Yuanzhang who are hereditary and resigned, etc.

As a result, civilian officials looked down on military attachés, and military attachés themselves felt inferior.

The army is the pillar of the country, life and death are at stake, if the officers and sergeants have no status, or the previous view that a good man should not be a soldier, I am afraid that the country is strong is a joke.

However, there is one thing that must be done from now on, that is, the appointment of military attachés, and in the future, personnel must be selected from the imperial examinations to serve as officers, and the officers are not mainly military jinshi, and the two ranks of jinshi are also sent to serve in the army, and only in this way can the problem of the low status of officers be truly changed.

The system of succession for officers must be abolished.

On the first day of late May, Wenyuan Pavilion.

There were only eight days left before the enthronement ceremony, and everything was almost ready.

Zheng Xunrui did not inquire about the enthronement ceremony, but directly raised the matter of abolishing the matter of retrenchment to Shizhong and Dongchang, abolishing the succession system for officers, strengthening the functions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department, and changing the appointment of military officers.

Zhou Yanru, Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Wen Zhenheng, Yang Tingshu and others were dumbfounded.

Zheng Xunrui's suggestions seemed unbelievable to them.

It is directly responsible for the emperor in the matter, which is equivalent to the eyes and ears of the emperor, but Zheng Xunrui asked to be abolished in the matter, isn't this self-cutting of ears and eyes, although Jinyiwei has a bad reputation, but it is also a detective agency exclusive to the emperor, Zheng Xunrui asked for a complete change in its functions, that is, to guard the Forbidden City, as for the trial of the case, who does not know the emperor's golden mouth, no matter what kind of case, once the emperor decides, it is an iron case.

In the army, everyone can understand that the abolition of the military household system, the implementation of the recruitment system, and the clear fixed military salary are conducive to the strength of the army, and the strength of the Zheng family army, everyone knows, as for the appointment of officers, there have been large-scale changes, and the two lists of jinshi can also enter the army to take up positions, which is not surprising, Zheng Jinhong, the chief soldier of the Zheng family army, has served as the secretary of the criminal department, and has set a precedent.

I didn't think of Zheng Xunrui before he ascended the throne, and the focus was on these things.

Zheng Xunrui raised these matters, everyone did not discuss too much, in their minds, the main thinking is still the enthronement ceremony, at the same time they still follow the Ming Dynasty's consistent management system, did not notice that once Zheng Xunrui ascended the throne, the world will have a major change.

Zheng Xunrui also sensed everyone's attitude.

He didn't emphasize too much, some things last for thousands of years, and some continue for hundreds of years, and it is indeed difficult to think that it can be understood by everyone in just a few days, but it also proves that it takes a lot of twists and turns to make these changes, and I am afraid that sometimes it must be implemented by strong means.

Seeing that the time for the enthronement ceremony was approaching, Zheng Xunrui became more and more calm, without the slightest feeling of complacency, he had already felt the pressure, looking at Zhou Yanru and others busy preparations, thinking about the many things they were about to face, thinking about Zhu Youzhen, who was forced to hang himself, thinking about the Ming Dynasty, which was declining day by day, what came to mind was more responsibility.

Although he is a person who travels through the country, Zheng Xunrui before the crossing is also an ordinary person, after nearly twenty years of hard work after the crossing, he has experienced too many things, so that his understanding has gradually changed, and his vision has gradually become different, and now he is about to reach the top, whether he will continue to do things conscientiously or gradually fall into pleasure, he himself does not dare to guarantee.

There are no rules, there is no circle, to restrain people with the system, to establish a complete set of management systems, and to build the country with the rule of law, this is Zheng Xunrui's original goal, but after really reaching the pinnacle, he found that in this era, if you want to complete such a goal, it is to ascend to the sky, in a dynasty where more than 90% of people are illiterate, you talk about the rule of law with others, it is really playing the piano to the cow.
