Chapter 376: Changing the soup but not the medicine

"How does Your Majesty plan to change the official system, and where will it be used as a pilot." Yang Yiqing's voice was very dull, and his eyes became sharp, as if he was fighting to the end for the official reform that the emperor planned to carry out!

"I like division of labor and cooperation, and I don't like to grasp all at once." Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "Today's official system has too many redundant officials, and they have nothing to do all day long, but they have to spend the court's money.

Zhu Houwei didn't know if he was in a hurry, and in his original plan, at least ten years after Jiajing, when new scholars were flooding the world and had an impact on Confucianism, he would carry out official reform.

Now Zhu Houwei has changed his mind, Confucianism has deep roots, and it is unrealistic to want to uproot it all at once, so he can seep sand and slowly infiltrate it in the form of officials, and when the time is ripe, he can finish his work in one battle!

"I plan to change the Beijing officials first, and change the six departments!"

Yang Yiqing was stupid, and Liang Chu was also stunned, changing six?

The six have been inherited for nearly a thousand years since the beginning of the Sui Dynasty.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houwei pressed his hand and asked Yang Yiqing, who was about to defend to defend himself, to sit down and said: "What Yang Aiqing wants to say, I know, it is nothing more than the inheritance of the three provinces and six ministries for thousands of years, and there is no such thing as impropriety, so Yang Aiqing should be calm and listen to me first."

Yang Yiqing stiffly held back his words.

"The system of three provinces and six ministries has indeed been inherited for thousands of years, but where are the three provinces now? Where is the Prime Minister? Was there a cabinet before the Ming Dynasty? In Yang Aiqing's eyes, whether the cabinet system is more reasonable than the prime minister system. ”

"Your Majesty sees it." Yang Yiqing was helpless, what did he say? If there is a prime minister, is he now? But he didn't dare to say it, because if he did, it would be a great disrespect to Taizu and Emperor Taizong!

"The meaning of the existence of any official office is very simple, that is, in order to be able to handle government affairs better and more effectively, the existence of the prime minister restricts the imperial power, so it was abolished by Emperor Taizu, and the existence of the cabinet is to assist the Son of Heaven, so Taizong established it!

The world is changing with each passing day, and the times are progressing and developing, why can't Confucianism keep pace with the times? In fact, this should not be a matter for me to consider, but it should be reasonable for the cabinet to propose a change, how to be more reasonable, we need to brainstorm, unreasonable to change, reasonable to implement, the two Aiqing think so? ”

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Houwei said with a smile on his face: "In this case, I will talk about my opinion, right or wrong, the two Aiqing can talk about their own opinions, if there is any, change it, and if not, encourage it."

"The ministers would like to hear about it."

"Okay." Zhu Houwei nodded and said: "Now there are government institutions in the capital, such as the Cabinet, the Six Ministries, the General Administration, the Dali Temple, the Hanlin Academy, the Honglu Temple, and so on......"

"Your Majesty, there are also Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Tianyan!"

Zhu Houwei was speechless, it was obvious that Yang Yiqing wanted to exchange interests with him!

"Take your time, don't rush." Zhu Houwei smiled lightly: "Let's start with the six departments, Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of War has always wanted to resign from me, and the reason for his resignation is nothing more than that he feels that the power of the Ministry of War has been deprived by me, and the existence of the Ministry of War has existed in name only, and the functions of the Ministry of War are national security, officer appointment, soldier training, logistics, etc.

There is nothing wrong with such a division of functions, but don't forget that the military department is only in charge of the army for the Son of Heaven, not for the Son of Heaven's military power!

In addition, the Ming military system is corrupt, the troops are useless, the forbidden army is embarrassed to fight, and the border army is lined with generals.

No, the corpse vegetarian meal may be a bit serious, but if you don't act as these three words, the whole army will not be able to escape no matter what!

Therefore, the first thing I plan to change is the military department! ”

"How does Your Majesty plan to reform the Ministry of War?" Yang Yiqing's tone was indifferent, as if as long as the emperor changed it unreasonably, he immediately began to refute, and the ugly words have already been said bluntly, so no matter what, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang will be hurt, as for Tianyan, don't mention it......

"I've decided to abolish the Ministry of War! The Ministry of Military Affairs was changed to the Military Commission, referred to as the Military Commission! ”

Yang Yiqing and Liang Chu looked at each other, not knowing why.

"The Central Military Commission has completely replaced the original functions of the Ministry of Military Affairs, with a chairman, two vice chairmen, and a number of members, and the Central Military Commission has set up a counselor's office, a military industry office, a post-production department, a nuclear merit office, an officer office, and so on."

Yang Yiqing pondered with his eyebrows, feeling that the Military Commission and the Ministry of War were suspected of changing the soup but not the medicine, at least what was the specific difference, he couldn't understand, how the officials were appointed seemed to be easier to understand, it seemed that the official name of the Ministry of War was replaced by a high-ranking official?

"Your Majesty, according to the understanding of the old minister, the high-ranking official is not the big Sima, and the vice chairman is the left and right squire, and the chiefs of each department are the officials under the original jurisdiction of the Ministry of War."

"It's pretty much the same, but it's not accurate." Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "The Military Commission controls the world's armies, and senior officials should naturally be appointed by me."

The two elders were dumbfounded......

What does the emperor mean by that? Want to make yourself an official? Nima, if the emperor is an official, there are still officials who are bigger than the emperor in the sky? Now that the emperor has made himself a high-ranking official, is this considered a demotion for himself?

The two elders felt that their heads could no longer be turned, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt.

"There is no need to make a fuss about the two Aiqing." Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "Senior officials have the right to mobilize the world's troops, reorganize the army, and authorize all military affairs, that is to say, except for senior officials, no official or any general in the world has the power to privately transfer on a large scale or even start a war!"

In this way, it is much easier for the two elders to accept and understand.

The emperor's control of the army itself is due, although the civil officials do not like it, but the civil officials themselves know that it is much better for the emperor to control the army than for the generals, as for whether the emperor will be reckless, this is not in the scope of consideration.

After all, war costs money, and as long as the household department controls the financial power, then even if the emperor is a war maniac, sometimes he can only restrain himself.

But...... This seems to have nothing to do with Emperor Jiajing, because the emperor is richer than Hubu......

Now the emperor wants to give himself this chairman, which is equivalent to directly serving as a scholar in the original military department, although it is absurd, it can involve the direct control of military power, and no one can question it.

Then you are the emperor, you have a big mouth, and you are happy.

"As for the daily affairs of the Military Commission, I will not participate in it, and everything will be handled by the Military Commission itself."

"And the vice chairman?"

"Wang Qiong is the first vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, in charge of the daily affairs of the Central Military Commission, and who is the second vice chairman will be decided by the Central Military Commission itself, and the senior officials will be concurrently served by the directors of each department, and the members of each department will be the original Lang Zhong and Wai Lang."

Yang Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, he changed the soup and did not change the medicine......

Shi Lang became the vice chairman, Lang Zhong became the director, and the department changed its name, for example, the Examination Division became the Nuclear Division, and the Military Selection Division became the Military Division......
