As soon as Zhu Youzhen's words fell, the civil and military officials in the entire hall were quite shocked.

"The re-election of the first and second ministers of the cabinet will begin in March next year."

Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue glanced at each other, and each said a few words silently in their hearts.

Neither Gao Hongtu nor Hua Yuncheng expected that His Majesty would propose to re-elect the first assistant of the cabinet in March next year when Beijing had just been recaptured.

Hua Yuncheng originally wanted to suggest that His Majesty revoke the power of the cabinet to control the ministry and the six section corridors, so as to avoid the cabinet dictatorship, the reason is that this is not an ancestral system, of course, the real reason is that he is a minister who can compete with the cabinet, but now it has become a subordinate organ of the cabinet.

But as soon as he heard that His Majesty was going to re-elect the head of the cabinet, Hua Yuncheng couldn't say anything more.

Ruan Dayue, who was the secretary of the military department, also originally wanted to propose abolishing the generalissimo's office, re-establishing the governor's office of the five armies, and returning the military attaché to the military department with the right to appoint, dismiss, and transfer troops.

After all, this is the system of the Ming Dynasty in the past, and it stands to reason that the country has been reunited, and the wartime mechanism should have ended.

But what Ruan Dayue didn't expect was that His Majesty did not intend to revoke the Generalissimo's Mansion, but instead attributed the local military power to the Generalissimo's Mansion.

Gao Hongtu was quite happy to let the cabinet continue to be in charge of the administration, and he, the head of the cabinet, was naturally still a veritable prime minister.

But what he didn't expect was that His Majesty came directly to restart the election of the first assistant to the cabinet in March next year, which means that if he can't be re-elected in May next year, he will leave the position of the first assistant to the cabinet.

But Gao Hongtu actually still wants to continue to shine for Daming, after all, Daming has just realized the reunification of mountains and rivers, and it is the time to show his ambitions, and he doesn't want to retreat so quickly.

It can be said that Zhu Youzhen's current will makes the entire civil official group not very comfortable, they thought that they could take advantage of the recovery of the northern capital to return the imperial power to the civilian officials, but he did not expect that His Majesty would use the Taizu dream as a reason to set the rules for death before they asked for the restoration of the ancestral system.

Now, not only has they been cut off from the military power of civilian officials, but they have also been given a head to civilian officials.

The civil bureaucracy did not like to be controlled by the cabinet, because that would be unfree, and they could only follow the orders of the cabinet in the future, and the emperor could directly control them if he controlled the cabinet.

Not only that, but the distinction between civilian officials and military attaches has been blurred, and the military attaché in the Generalissimo's Office is in charge of civilian officials, and in the cabinet civilian officials are in charge of military attachés.

But now that Zhu Youzhen has just recovered the northern capital, when the imperial authority is at its highest, the civil officials can only accept it if they are not happy in their hearts.

And the military attachés are naturally happy, they can now no longer be controlled by the civilian officials of the Ministry of War, and they do not have to nod their heads when they see the cabinet and the civilian officials of the Ministry of War.

After the appointment of local and central military and political officials, the cabinet immediately set about restoring the political and economic order in the north and taking over the local power from the Generalissimo's Office, and the Generalissimo's Office immediately began to establish a military plan for next year. The same is true of the Generalissimo's Office, where the General Military Judge Advocate must not be lax in the slightest. ”

Zhu Youzhen's first dynasty after recovering the capital ended with this.

This time, he did not want the ministers and himself to immediately celebrate the recovery of the Northern Capital, and he did not even reward the ministers for their merits first, but first arranged for these imperial officials to do the next thing.

Naturally, the officials could only obey Zhu Youzhen's will, and did not dare to slack off because of the victory of the Northern Expedition, and began to re-establish the ruling system of the Ming Dynasty in the north.

However, most of the officials in the northern prefectures and counties were directly appointed officials of the political and engineering departments of the various armies of the former Generalissimo's Guard.

Zhu Youzhen approved Gao Hongtu's proposal to let all the Guards officers who temporarily served as officials in the main halls of the northern prefectures and counties abandon the army and join politics, thus increasing the speed of restoring the Ming ruling system in the north.

In a very short period of time, a large number of prefectures and counties in the northern region were able to quickly establish an organizational structure and quickly restore political and economic order.

The Generalissimo's Office also directly promoted retired or demobilized Guards officers to provincial commanders and envoys to serve as officers of local garrisons.

Soon, the Ming Dynasty had a complete system of military, political and bureaucratic rule in the northern provinces.

By the twenty-fourth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Empire had recovered to the scale of the Wanli period, and the entire Guannai world was under the management of the empire.

The construction has all disappeared, the northern gentry class has been almost completely eradicated, the people have begun to live and work in peace and contentment, and many officials are performing their duties for the first time and have the enterprising spirit to do a great job.

The steam industry in the south began to flourish, with the successful application of the steam engine in the textile industry to achieve a significant increase in economic efficiency, the iron and steel industry and the mining industry have also used the steam engine, and even the Daming Engineering Institute has carried out hundreds of inventions of steam engine principle products.

Zhu Youzhen sometimes thinks that it seems that there is nothing wrong with being a carefree faint gentleman now.

There is no crisis in the Ming Empire, and the emperor himself will no longer have the possibility of becoming the king of the fallen country.

Especially when he sees a group of beauties in front of him, it is easier for him to have the idea of "the king will not be early from now on".

Human beings are lazy by nature, and therefore prone to depravity after success.

Zhu Youzhen is also like this now, he really wants to take a break, and even wants to only enjoy the power of being an emperor and not assume the responsibility of being an emperor.

But Zhu Youzhen didn't want to really get by like this in the next imperial career, he felt that he still had to continue to find something to do for himself, at least he couldn't let Daming fall into being swallowed up by forces outside the customs again, and he couldn't let the dawn of the industrial revolution that had just appeared in Daming suddenly extinguish by chance.

The celebrant Lu Jiude came over at this time, but when he heard the laughter of the concubines, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stood still, only poked out half of his head, and did not dare to go over.

"Come out", Zhu Youzhen caught a trace of falling snowflakes, watched the hexagonal ice crystals melt in his warm palms, and smiled slightly: "No one knows what kind of situation they will be in the next moment, but if they fall in a warm place, it will be just like this gorgeous snowflake, even if it is exquisite, it will not escape death, and it will be born in sorrow and die in peace." ”

Lu Jiude didn't expect His Majesty to notice him, so he hurriedly walked over with his feet raised slightly, standing in the northwest of Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, the generals have arrived." ”

There are only two shifts today, which can be regarded as a reason to ask for leave: 1. A little cold and heat stroke 2. I worked overtime too late today, and I didn't write much 3. After the end of the Northern Expedition, Kawen has been given, and book friends can also see that the last few chapters are a little watery, mainly because I really can't hold back the plot, and I want to take a good look at the outline and resume normal updates tomorrow.
