Chapter 377: Prosecution
There is indeed a great similarity between the system of the Central Military Commission and the system of the Ministry of War, and this can also indirectly prove that after several thousand years of development, the official system has been handed down to this day and has become quite mature.
The reason why Zhu Houwei wanted to change the military department into the Military Commission was actually to divide the power of the military department's secretary, because you must know that the original military department secretary was equivalent to the later defense minister, chief of staff, logistics minister, and so on.
Zhu Houwei is confident that he will not be able to move when he is alive, but what about him a hundred years later? What if there is a weak or mediocre emperor in the future, and the imperial power is hollowed out?
Therefore, he wants to play balance by dividing and diluting, so that everything can contain each other and not subordinate to each other, so as to enhance the emperor's centralized power!
I don't know how effective this would have been in feudal times, but it's worth trying.
"Do you think it's feasible for me to change the Ministry of War into a military council?"
Yang Yiqing and Liang Chu were a little speechless, the emperor could say it in such detail, it can be seen that he had studied it a long time ago and made up his mind, so they said that it was not feasible, would the emperor adopt it?
Definitely not, at best, it will continue to optimize the rip-off, and in the end it will be changed, then it's a fart.
Moreover, this reform, in Yang Yiqing's view, is nothing more than a change of name, the actual change is not big, and it is naturally within the acceptable range, if you want to say that it is damaged, it is estimated that only Wang Qiong is damaged.
However, the functions of the military department have been deprived so much by the emperor, Wang Qiong has already been disheartened and ready to go to the office, and it is estimated that there will be no objections.
However, the details are still up for debate.
"By the way, I also want to set up a Ministry of National Defense under the Military Commission, Wang Shangshu is the first Minister of Defense of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Erpin, responsible for managing the recruitment, establishment, equipment, training, military scientific research, military ranks, military salaries and other work of the national army......
Well, no doubt at all......
For Wang Qiong, Zhu Houwei can still be sure that he is actually energetic, but this guy, like many old Confucian ministers, lacks enterprising spirit.
But Wang Qiong's qualifications and talents are enough to live in the town, so he can let him go, but he can also use it, and he can overdo it in this position at the worst.
Zhu Houwei wants to overhaul the official system, not to purge the officialdom, this is unrealistic, and he does not have enough fresh blood to take over the entire officialdom, so even if he is the emperor, he can only endure it at this stage!
"Since the two Aiqing have no objection to the restructuring of the Ministry of War, let's talk about the Criminal Department."
The two elders are silent, the emperor reformed the military department, and he also talked about the six departments before, so the two elders have been able to foresee that none of the six departments can escape the emperor's poisonous hands!
"The criminal department is in charge of the criminal punishment decree and has the power to review and control the world's criminal prisons, while the Dali Temple is mainly in charge of the criminal cases of officials, and there are many overlaps between the functions of the two, which are unreasonable, and the local officials are in charge of civil affairs, break the prison, and control the theft, and they are not reasonable to grasp everything in detail, and it is also unreasonable to ......."
Yang Yiqing said in his heart, unreasonable, unreasonable, the emperor, you directly say how reasonable, how to change it is over, and he does not plan to continue to express his opinions, anyway, this restructuring will inevitably involve a lot, just a cabinet can not be such a big master, and it will be discussed later, whether it can be recognized by hundreds of officials, it is too early to say.
"I have decided to abolish the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate! Establishment of the Inspection Law! ”
"Your Majesty, although the Metropolitan Procuratorate has the power of three divisions to adjudicate, its main responsibility is to supervise, impeach, and advise the government.
"Words are words, and indiscriminate attacks are indiscriminate attacks!" Zhu Houwei snorted coldly: "The official can slash indiscriminately with the big knife that has heard the wind and heard? You can casually impeach the Manchu ministers and even me because of a little bit of chasing after the wind and shadows!
The official is not guilty, and in my eyes, this is precisely the biggest sin! Because you don't need to be in charge, you can plant it at will! Frame! Impeach!
It's really a great majesty, I am not afraid to make a confession with the two Aiqing, I can not abolish the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I can not abolish the Speech Official, I can also retain the right to hear about the Speech Official, but I will only ignore the Speech Official, no matter what the Speech Officer says, I will not believe it, I will not care, I will not ask, whether it is right or wrong, I will not pay attention to what they play.
Since the speech official likes impeachment so much, and likes to make something out of nothing, then let the speech officials of the six departments and thirteen realms bear the halo of the speech official, and the way to promotion is eliminated! ”
The cold sweat on Yang Yiqing's head came out, in fact, he himself knew very well that the speech officials of the Jiajing Dynasty had basically been abolished, and the emperor did not wait to see the speech officials almost without concealing it, just like what the emperor said himself just now, no matter what the speech officials said, he ignored them!
Acting and impeaching themselves are the most important powers and responsibilities of the speech officials, and they are also the most important ways to increase political qualifications, but the emperor ignores them, and the speech officials become a joke.
Lu Wan, who is also an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, argues with Emperor Jiajing in the imperial study for half an hour for the emperor not to see the official, during which he also took off his official hat and wanted to retire to Zhishi, Emperor Jiajing at that time also seemed to plan to let Lu Wan return to his hometown, if it were not for Yang Tinghe and others to dissuade him, I am afraid that Lu Wan's foothold would have been lost in this court.
Don't wait to see the speech officials make a fuss like that, not to mention that now the emperor is going to abolish the Metropolitan Procuratorate and abolish the speech and official system.
It is conceivable that this matter will inevitably cause an uproar in the court, and Lu Wan is estimated to really have to return to his hometown.
But now the most powerless thing for Yang Yiqing is the emperor's salary, he can keep the Imperial Procuratorate, and he can not abolish the official, but he can judge the future of the official, just with this killing weapon, who can stop the official of the Manchu Dynasty, even if it is not abolished, it is equivalent to being abolished.
"Your Majesty is blocking the way of speech, not afraid of being deceived by others?" Yang Yiqing sighed.
"The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, all the people in the world are my words, what I want is a transparent way of speech, not a way of saying that I have nothing to do and take pleasure in impeachment!"
"The minister understands ......"
"The inspection law that I want to set up is actually three departments, and these three departments will spread all over the world, deprive the local government of the right to arrest thieves and punish prisons, rectify the law, and implement it to the whole world."
"The ministers are willing to be detailed."
Zhu Houwei said solemnly: "Actually, it is also simple, the patrol will be fully responsible for the local public security, but anyone who is a traitor, a scoundrel, a ruffian, a hooligan, and anyone who touches the criminal law and the "Public Security Administration Regulations" can be brought to justice and sentenced according to the law!"
"Public security regulations?" Yang Yiqing and Liang Chu were a little confused.
"This is." Zhu Houwei took a thin book in front of him and said: "Whether a country can maintain peace and stability for a long time must be inseparable from sound laws, and perfect laws are not only a constraint on all people, but also a constraint on officials, gentry, nobles and even clans!"
