Chapter 304: Candle Eve Talk

"Emperor"

Two words seem magical.

It is capable of alienating all intimacy.

This is not transferred by human relationships, and it will not be able to make any changes in the land of the Ming Dynasty because Zhu Youzhen is a traverser, and it is impossible to produce any leapfrog development in the current historical environment.

Zhu Youzhen has historical memories that cannot be counted in later generations.

He knows that no matter what kind of development is in a well-intentioned vain attempt to leapfrog, none of it will bring a good end to the country. There will only be endless catastrophes.

Therefore, three years before the upcoming Chongzhen, he wanted to make his intentions clear.

Therefore, even if Zhao Shujiao and Xiong Wencan have come out to admit their mistakes, he doesn't think that these people really think that they are wrong.

"The minister is guilty."

Even though Zhu Youzhen spoke in a very small voice, the two of them still came out in fear and confessed.

They still maintain the perception that they are like a tiger in their hearts, maybe they feel that His Majesty the Emperor criticized them in this matter, even if they passed the test.

"There is something to say, you are doing something wrong in this matter, but this is the first time I have met, so let's not take it as an example."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Not punishing is also a gift, so thank you loudly as well.

"Originally, after the end of the sacrifice, it was the banquet that the queen prepared for everyone in the palace, and the good wine alone filled the hall of the banquet. But I heard the news from the two of you, and I thought twice before I persuaded the queen to postpone the banquet until tomorrow. ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, and several guards of the brocade guards closed the door of Valhalla, and lit clusters of candlelight illuminated the entire hall of Valhalla.

"I've decided to bring forward to today something that was supposed to be on the agenda for some time. Otherwise......"

Zhu Youzhen paused before saying:

"Daming can't stand any toss and turmoil."

As soon as Zhu Youzhen's words came out, the generals who were not in the center looked at each other, not understanding what the emperor needed to say so neatly. And Han Ying, who is in front of the emperor every day, the six Shangshu seem to know what the emperor wants to say, but they are not sure.

Among them, Han Ying's heart is the most stirring.

He didn't want to guess wrong, he was even more afraid that he guessed wrong.

In fact, what he didn't know was that these rights had become a burden rather than a kind of enjoyment for Zhu Youzhen. Now that he has crossed over, he still has to indulge in countless documents and approvals, and he has not even seen the customs of this era, how can this not be a kind of torture for Zhu Youzhen.

Besides, after three years of testing, Zhu Youzhen also knew that the puppet beads could at least be trusted.

With these, you have to confine yourself to this palace, what are you coveting?

All the previous things are nothing more than the inertia of a person who has crossed over.

For Zhu Youzhen, once he thought about these things clearly, he found that there was a broader world of great achievements in front of him.

"From the first month of the third year of Chongzhen, Daming set up the post of Minister of State."

The sound was not loud, but it caused the surprise of everyone in the entire hall.

"All government affairs of the Ming Dynasty, under the whole, are all handled by the Minister of State. The seven members of the cabinet are the ministers of state, and the decisions are made by the ministers of state, and after deliberation by the cabinet, they are implemented with seals. The first minister of the Ming Dynasty, I think it is appropriate for the current first assistant Han Ying. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought clearly, so he no longer hesitated, and directly said everything in one go.

Han Ying's expression was blank, his head was confused, he didn't even say a word of resignation, and was directly stunned at the scene.

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru's expressions were envious, and their eyes exuded the yearning that I should replace them.

Xu Guangqi's look of incredulity and praise seemed to give the greatest recognition to the emperor's approach.

The rest of the generals were at a loss, as if they were still thinking about the impact and significance of this incident on the military.

"Your Majesty......"

Finally, Han Ying came to his senses, and he hurriedly came out on his knees and bowed in front of Zhu Youzhen.

"As the Minister of State, it is good to pay homage according to etiquette. Etiquette should not be abolished for the sake of the matter, let alone increased etiquette for the sake of the situation. Is the Prime Minister clear? ”

"Your Majesty, such a heavy responsibility, ...... minister"

According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, Han Ying began to resign.

"The prime minister will sit down first, and I still have some arrangements that I haven't finished finishing. The Cabinet became the Prime Minister's Administrative Office. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't want to wait, he asked the cabinet several times to come up with the arrangements of the prime minister's administrative yamen, but it was nothing more than some minor changes to the original official system of the Ming Dynasty.

There are too few officials that the Ming Dynasty can use now, and if it is revised on the basis of the original, Zhu Youzhen believes that these original bureaucrats will definitely pollute all the new officials and the new system to the original sauce jar in the shortest possible time.

Bad money drives out good money, and destroys the talents cultivated in those colleges.

Zhu Youzhen didn't have so many puppet beads in his hand.

"Below the Prime Minister's administrative yamen are officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and under the Shangshu are the left and right servants, and according to the function, they are subdivided into divisions and departments."

In Zhu Youzhen's mind, he lost a large number of honorary positions such as unknown scholars, and he could reduce the center of the imperial court a lot of redundancy at once.

Everyone was thinking, and Zhu Youzhen continued his opinion:

"Local officials are divided into two levels: provinces and counties, prefectures and counties at the same level, those who have prefectures have no counties, and Beijing divisions are equivalent to provinces. The governor is the highest in the province, and the prefect is the highest in the county government. Under these official positions, there are also six ministries of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers as auxiliary yamen, which are jointly managed by the six central ministries and local governors. These changes will only be implemented in Beizhili, Shandong and Henan next year. ”

"Honglu Temple merges Taichang and Taifu, and is in charge of foreign envoys, domestic sacrifices, celebrations, funerals and other matters."

"All of the above are under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Executive Yamen and the Prime Minister, everyone, do you have any opinions?"

The military, the Academy of Sciences, Jinyiwei and Dongchang naturally have no opinion, and everyone knows that the emperor still retains the greatest military power for himself.

At this time, only Cao Yubian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood up and asked:

"Your Majesty, I haven't mentioned the matter of the Metropolitan Procuratorate just now, I don't know what kind of plan my emperor has for the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate is tied with the Prime Minister's Yamen. It has the right to refute and report to the local government and the judicial court in the exercise of its powers. ”

Zhu Youzhen directly expressed his opinion.

Strangely, he didn't see Han Ying's depressed expression, but saw Han Ying let out a long breath.

"In addition to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Temple and the Academy of Sciences are at the same level as the Prime Minister's Administrative Yamen. The law of the Ming Dynasty is ruled by the Dali Temple, and the Dali Temple is the Ming Law Beast. The Academy of Sciences was vested in the Crown, and I appointed the President of the Academy of Sciences. ”

"The Army Officer Academy, the Administration Academy, and the soon-to-be-established Naval Academy are still royal academies, funded by the royal family and the Ministry of Households, with me as the honorary chief and the executive chief appointed by me."

Zhu Youzhen stood up.

"I will spend next year formulating and implementing a new cabinet and state minister system."

"After the new system is perfected."

"The Minister of State will be the manager of the administration of the Ming Empire."

"Siqing will be the arbiter of disputes in the Ming Empire."

"Du Cha will be the supervisor of the order of the Ming Empire."

"And I will be the guardian of the empire."

Maybe this is just a way for Zhu Youzhen to be lazy.

Maybe this is just a way for Zhu Youzhen to want to see the sea and the frontier.

However, what we are doing today is not intended to drop a heavyweight bomb on the dull and rotten system of the Ming Dynasty.

Just when Zhu Youzhen was about to finish, he said to all the generals present:

"With order, no one in the court will be in fear. The structure of the military will still be the three-level relationship between the military department and the army, and the military department will mainly become an institution for training officers and building the army, and the military department will focus on foreign wars. All counterinsurgency and protection in the country were handed over to the five command divisions of the east, west, south, north and center. ”

"You have to believe that next year will be the first year of the Ming Dynasty's external expansion."

"Don't believe the that rabbits are dead and dogs cook, the only promise I have to you is that I will provide you with endless rabbits during your lifetime."

"Next year's Daming will usher in a new Daming!"

Zhu Youzhen ended this strange meeting in his own words, and he did not leave more time for everyone, but took the lead out of the hall of Valhalla.

He knows that some things are done and done, even if they are still imperfect.

There are so many perfect things in this world.
