On June 24, the fourth year of Wuding, Zhu Youge, the emperor of Wuding, who was so depressed that he lingered on the sickbed, finally came to the end of his life. The next day, under the support of Zheng Kezang, the emperor's nephew Zhu Ciqi (炴), who was already white, succeeded to the throne as the emperor under the condition that he could not help himself, with the year name Baokang, and the second year as the first year of Baokang.

The first thing Emperor Bao Kang did after succeeding to the throne was to present Emperor Wuding with the temple number of Dezong and Emperor Qitianyingdao, Boyi, Liren, Wenze, Wucheng, Dehong, and Xiaowu Emperor, and then canonized Zhu Yiming, the eldest grandson, as the emperor's grandson. Then, according to Zheng Kezang's will, Zhu Hewei, the son of the abolished prince Zhu Cien, was awarded the title of King of Gaotang County, and was divided into Hepu (Nantian Island) south of Xiangshan, so in addition to the anxious ancestors and grandchildren in the imperial city, the descendants of the Zhu family in Nanjing City were all emptied.

Emperor Bao Kang is also ready to seal Zheng Kezang, but Zheng Kezhang has already served as the two highest civil positions of division and Fu at this moment, and he has the highest military power as the governor of the capital and the general of recruitment, and he is really unable to be promoted, and Zheng Kezhang does not want his children to appear in history as Ming ministers in the future, so he also resolutely refused the royal family's grace, so this canonization fell to Zheng Cong, Marquis of Funing, Zheng Keshuang, Zheng Keju of Songyang, and Zheng Ke'an, the widow of Zheng Ming, Marquis of Ningyang, Zheng Keqi, Zheng Keyin and others are on the head of the Zheng clan.

Speaking of which, Zheng Kezhang is actually quite disdainful of this kind of practice of one person attaining the Tao chicken dog ascending to heaven, but this is a temptation of Emperor Bao Kang, if he does not accept it, he is afraid that he will directly scare the old man to death, and two Ming Emperors died in a year, which is not very beneficial to stabilizing people's hearts, plus Zheng Cong, Zheng Keshuang, etc. are all his relatives, so Zheng Kezhang reluctantly nodded and accepted.

So Zheng Cong was promoted to the Duke of Min, Zheng Keshuang was promoted to the Marquis of Nanping, Zheng Keju, who was not yet an adult, became the Marquis of Guangfeng, Zheng Ke'an attacked the Marquis of Ningyang, and Zheng Keqi and Zheng Keyin also got the earl's color head.

In addition to these Zheng clan relatives in the big 6, Emperor Bao Kang even wanted to send people to Japan to confer the titles of Zheng Zhi, Zheng Rou and others, but was dissuaded by Zheng Kezang. Thinking about it, it was Zheng Kezang's order to exile a few people, but now Emperor Ming gave him a seal, didn't he slap Zheng Kezang in the face? Besides, now that the Japanese are holding them and bargaining with Zheng Fan, Emperor Ming is sealing again, isn't it explicitly telling the Japanese, this is a strange thing to live in

"Your Majesty, these are a few auspicious places selected by the ministers." According to the rules of the previous dynasties, the emperor began to repair the mausoleum for himself at the beginning of his succession, but Wuding Emperor Zhu Youge was in a hurry to take the throne in the war, and he was in a panic from Fujian to move back to Yingtiancheng, and even the Nanjing Imperial City was not repaired very well, not to mention the auspicious soil of ten thousand years, and Zheng Kezhang did not care about this, so it was only until Emperor Wuding was terminally ill that he hurriedly sent someone to find a cemetery for him. "Please show me the king."

"Now that the war is not stopping, the Minling Mausoleum should not be too large." Zheng Kezang sighed, it was not that Ding Ge was about to treat the late king of the previous dynasty harshly, it was really a huge military expenditure, he couldn't afford this huge amount of expenses, and he didn't want to shake his ruling foundation for a dynasty that was about to enter history. "Well, this is where the mausoleum is chosen." Zheng Kezhang circled the plan for Niushan in the southern suburbs. "With a limit of 500,000 silver, can it be completed within three years?"

Xu Qing, the former director of the construction experience of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion who served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, secretly complained that 500,000 silver guan sounds like a lot of money, but it is a little difficult to complete a decent imperial mausoleum in the land of high prices in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that a large number of materials need to be purchased, even the three-year construction period is also a little tight.

Xu Qing then swept the official of the Mausoleum Department who was standing half of his body apart with the residual light of his eyes, and saw that the official's face was also full of embarrassment, Xu Qing was about to ask Zheng Kezhang to either increase the expenditure or extend the construction period, but in a blink of an eye, the displeasure on Zheng Kezang's face appeared, and his heart suddenly shrank and jumped.

Yes, what did I do today, my master is King Xia, what is wrong with Mingdezong. Besides, although Emperor Wuding is a son of heaven, how long can the Ming Dynasty last? Zheng Kezhang is willing to take out 500,000 yuan to repair the mausoleum for him, which is already benevolent and righteous, and the three-year mausoleum work is a propaganda that shows his benevolence, so naturally there is no need to keep improving.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Qing immediately agreed: "Please rest assured that the ministers know what to do, and they will live up to the king's trust." ”

Zheng Kezhang nodded slightly: "That's very good, let's go and get busy." ”

Xu Qinggang wanted to quit, but Zheng Kezhang suddenly stopped him again: "Xu Qing, the age of this year is not small, and the matter of choosing the auspicious soil for ten thousand years must not be delayed for too long, so let's choose a good place on the wind and water on the bank of Minling in Niushan to prepare for the construction of the mausoleum today, so that it is good to use the materials and manpower of Minling." ”

Although Xu Qing was a little stunned, he had already figured it out just now, so he immediately agreed: "The minister obeys the king's orders!" ”

Xu Qing retreated, and Cheng Qi of the Tongzheng Yuan reported to the palace: "Second assistant Lord Yang asks to see him." ”

Yang Ying? Zheng Kezhang was stunned, why did he come. But although the other party is semi-retired, after all, he is a few old ministers in the domain, so Zheng Kezang ordered him to be summoned after a little thought.

After a while, Yang Ying, who was wearing a big red robe, walked in tremblingly, and when he saw him doing this, Zheng Kezang didn't realize it, and immediately ordered a seat. Yang Ying was also not polite, and sat on the brocade stool brought by the waiter, and did not speak, first coughing.

After the scrambling little fireman brought a spittoon and asked him to clean his throat, Yang Ying, who relied on the old man and sold the old, said what he meant: "Your Majesty, the old minister has nothing to do, and he carefully figured out the regulations of the Wangshang Shogunate, and felt that there was a lack of monk records and Taoist records. ”

Yang Ying's words are actually not unusual, Zheng Kezhang himself admitted that the future government he created is only a prototype, and it will need to be increased or decreased in the future, but Yang Ying's motivation for this comment made Zheng Kezhang think deeply. Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, there was no situation where the elders interfered in politics, but the officials who returned to their hometowns were a major harm to the locality, and how to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past was a big problem.

While thinking about it, Zheng Kezhang said perfunctorily: "Then what does the old man mean to learn from the Manchu Dynasty to set up a domain to be in charge?" ”

"That's not necessary," Yang Ying shook her head. "It can be assigned to the Ministry of Rites according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, no, the Ministry of Rites is under the management of the Rites Institute."

Zheng Kezhang immediately understood that after stripping off the most important school, the Etiquette Institute had become a Qingshui Yamen with no power or responsibility, and he was quite unwilling, so he made sense that Yang Ying, an old minister, came to speak, so that he could take the power of the decentralization in his hands, so that some oil and water could make a small treasury or something.

Zheng Kezhang was somewhat dissatisfied with such things as fighting for the interests of individual departments, but it was really unnecessary to set up a religious department, so he thought about it for a while, and finally nodded: "What the boss said is very true, you can set up an academic affairs hall to manage all religions under the Rite Academy." ”

Yang Ying nodded with satisfaction, but did not retreat, but instead said: "Your Majesty, judging from the situation when the minister was in power in Dongning, it is better for the Salt and Iron Division to be combined with the Taxation Division. ”

Zheng Kezhang glanced at Yang Ying in surprise, and Yang Ying explained it in a rambling manner, and Zheng Kezhang realized that he was a little subjective. It turned out that most of the workshops, workshops, and mines in the Dongning period were run by Zheng Fan, and the Salt and Iron Division could not manage it at all, at most it could only manage the small shops on the market; After entering the majority of the 6, there are many businessmen in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and there are many mines, but the salt and iron division is facing a situation where it is impossible to manage and cannot be managed. In this case, judging from Yang Ying's experience, if this department does not become idle, it is best to let it merge the Yamen, who is now in charge of taxation.

While Yang Ying was speaking, Zheng Kezhang kept pacing in the hall, and the more Yang Ying spoke, the deeper Zheng Kezhang thought.

After Yang Ying finished speaking, Zheng Kezhang also stopped: "Boss, I'm afraid this matter is a lonely thought." ”

Zheng Kezhang really thought badly, the purpose of his establishment of the Salt and Iron Division and the Ministry of Salt and Iron was to promote industry and commerce, but the current stage of industry and commerce is not the situation of big industry and big commerce that began in the second half of the 19th century in a different time and space, and his government is not a government that has reached a certain level of professionalism and control in the future, so what he is destined to do is to do more with less.

However, no matter how difficult it is, Zheng Kezhang has to try to do it, but this is not achieved overnight, so Zheng Kezhang took a step back from his original position: "The boss's words are Lao Cheng's move to seek the country, and he has been taught alone, no matter what, now there is still room for improvement, so hand over the power to collect taxes to the Ministry of Salt and Iron."

In this way, the functions of the Ministry of Salt and Iron have become to review the qualifications of mines, workshops and shops, register and issue business licenses, register business changes, inspect mines, approve and collect transaction taxes and shop taxes, and collect summer and autumn taxes; Clarification, verification of commercial laws, etc. However, Zheng Kezhang did not abolish the chief accounting yamen, but further reorganized it into an auditing yamen, which was responsible for auditing the income and expenditure of various ministries, yamens and local institutions, and together with the final accounts department of the degree branch, it became Zheng Kezang's right-hand man in implementing the policy of "living within the limits of income" and "black letters". And because part of the responsibilities of General Zheng Kezang's law department were transferred to the audit yamen, the audit yamen in the future also had the "good name" of Zheng's East Factory

After the change of the Ministry of Salt and Iron, Zheng Kezhang set up the Bide Yuan to house the old ministers, and all Beijing officials and foreign officials above the fourth rank were allowed to enter. The Bide Yuan has a person in charge of the four products, a person in the five products of the Supervision Yuan, one person in the six products and about one person, and a number of secretaries and secretaries under the same order, the court to communicate with the elders to consult the gains and losses of the court and to preside over the court to release the old ministers' rewards, but do not assume the responsibility of impeaching officials at all levels, so as to avoid interfering with the power of the court judges
