Chapter 107: A Big Move
"Zhong Aiqing must have known about a large number of officials trying to force the palace!"
Zhu Houzhao was the first to speak, although his tone was calm, it made the ministers shudder.
A purge comparable to or even surpassing Hu Weiyong's purge is about to begin.
The entire civilian-bureaucratic clique has all been dismissed, involving a large number of people and a wide range of people involved, it is simply terrifying, and a major earthquake is about to occur in the Ming officialdom, and a new pattern of government and government is about to open.
"Forcing the palace to commit a crime is a heinous crime, and the minister thinks it should be dealt with strictly."
University scholar Mao Ji said solemnly.
"The ministers seconded it!"
Others also said that they must be severely punished, and they and the civilian clique are political enemies, and it would be strange if they didn't fall into the trap at this time!
"All the officials who participated in the forced palace and their families were personally involved, and all of them were sent to Liaodong."
Zhu Houzhao adhered to the consistent style of "benevolence", and if the civilian-official clique did not kill any of them, they all threw them away to open up wasteland and farm, and when there was no use value, it was not too late to send the civilian-official clique to liberation.
He couldn't help but praise his "benevolence and loyalty", throughout the ages, the officials who participated in the rebellion in the palace had the best ending, and it was possible to seriously exterminate the nine clans.
It is really rare to see an emperor like him who does not kill a person and puts benevolence first, and Emperor Wen of Han, Tang Taizong, and Song Renzong, who are known for their "benevolence", are far inferior to her.
Move yourself for a second!
Then began the redistribution and adjustment of official positions.
It is a pleasure to wipe out all the civil official groups, but the follow-up impact is really big, the power of the civil official group is all over the various departments of the imperial court, if you don't hurry up to fill the vacant official positions, the imperial court is only afraid that it will be paralyzed in a short time!
And this is also the reason why many emperors hate the civil official group very much, but they dare not move them easily, the personnel are all over the court, and the operation of the court is inseparable from them!
It was also unfortunate to meet such a ruthless and unscrupulous master as Zhu Houzhao, otherwise the civil official group might still be prosperous for decades.
After some adjustments, under the resignation of Li Dongyang, Wang Yangming was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet.
Yang Yiqing, who suppressed local clan rebellions in various places, was promoted from a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion to a deputy assistant to the cabinet.
Yang Ting, who is located in the southwest, and is a scholar of Wuyingdian University.
Guanglu doctor Liang Chu was promoted to the secretary of the ministry and was in charge of the ministry
Wang Zuo is in charge of the household department
Wang Qiong is in charge of the military department
Liu Yu was promoted from the left deputy capital of the Imperial Court to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and was in charge of the Ministry of Rites
Hong Zhong is in charge of the Punishment Department
Li Yu is in charge of the Ministry of Engineering
Fei Hong, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Wang Wei, a scholar of Wenyuange University, Mao Ji, a scholar of Dongge University, Jiang Mian, a scholar of Jinshendian University, and Liu Zhong, a doctor of Guanglu......
Except for changes in the Cabinet and the Six Ministries, there were few changes.
Hong Zhong is proficient in martial arts and skilled in the art of war, and Zhu Houzhao intends to let him enter the military system, but now the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has not been reorganized, so he can only be asked to serve in the Criminal Department first.
Li Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, is old, and he can't find a suitable person in charge of the Ministry of Works for the time being, so he can only let him do it first.
"Wang Qing, the vacant officials, you have to worry about one or two more, promote and appoint from the idle Hanlin Academy scholars, and be sure to restore the operation of all departments of the imperial court in the shortest possible time."
Zhu Houzhao instructed Wang Yangming.
"Minister, you will live up to the grace of God!"
Wang Yangming's heart was tumbling, Zhu Houzhao put the power of promoting and appointing officials into his hands, how could he not be moved by such unconditional trust.
"Abolish the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and change it to the Military Department, and all military deployments, officer appointments, and military salary expenditures will be exhausted from the Military Department, and from then on they will be independent of the Six Departments and directly belong to me."
Zhu Houzhao announced to the ministers in an extremely strong tone his first big move after defeating the civilian clique.
After the battle of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in the Civil Fort, it was equivalent to an ornament, and most of the military attachés who served in it were wine bags, rice bags, straw bags, and waste, which were really useless.
As early as a long time ago, Zhu Houzhao wanted to abolish the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but because he was fledgling at that time and was afraid of "being easily soluble in water", he couldn't help but not attack the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
Now that the Jiangnan gentry, the civil official group, the vassal king group, and the Xungui group can no longer pose a threat to him, there is no need for the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to exist!
"This ......"
The ministers looked at each other, intent to stop them, but they didn't dare to speak, for fear of angering Zhu Houzhao.
They have no opinion on the reorganization of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies into the Military Department, but the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is independent of the Sixth Division, which makes them a little unacceptable!
The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is the core of the military attache system of the Ming Dynasty, after the battle of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty was in a slump, and it was difficult for the military generals to turn over, and the status of civil officials was higher than that of military attachés, which almost became an established unspoken rule.
After so many years of accumulation, anyone who is a civil official will subconsciously think that civil officials are more noble than military generals, and it is even more natural and justified that the six departments are above the governor's office of the five armies.
Suddenly, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was changed to a military department, and it was independent of the Sixth Department and was not affected by the Sixth Department, even if the officials present were all from Zhu Houzhao's lineage, it was inevitably a little difficult to accept for a while.
The emperor wanted to improve the status of military generals.
This is their only thought, and it is an indisputable fact!
Although the civilian-bureaucratic clique has been finished, not most of them are civilian-bureaucrats standing here, and in a few years, they will be the new civilian-bureaucratic clique, and out of self-interest considerations, even if they trust Wang Yangming again, Zhu Houzhao must improve the status of the military attache to check and balance the over-inflated civilians under his command.
Wang Yangming will not form a gang and form a party, which Zhu Houzhao is very sure of, Wang Yangming's ideological pattern has long exceeded the scope of interests, but when people stand at a certain height, many people and many things are involuntarily.
In order to prevent the emergence of another civilian clique, it is imperative to enhance the status of military generals, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao's many future plans are inseparable from the contribution of military generals.
The balance between civil and military affairs is the way to long-term peace and stability.
"Alas......"
The British Duke Zhang Mao sighed a long sigh, abolishing the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which means that the last bit of afterglow of these nobles will also dissipate, as the home of the first meritorious hero of the Jingjing, he sincerely regrets it.
But I feel extremely happy that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has come to an end, and a new military department has appeared, which means that the spring of military attachés is coming, and the era of civil respect and military humility is about to pass!
His Zhang family is the home of military generals, and he can also make meritorious contributions to the country and reshape the prestige of the Ming generals.
"Since Zhong Aiqing has no opinions, then it is decided!"
Zhu Houzhao made a final decision: "The Governor's Office of the Five Armies was reorganized into the Military Department, and the British Duke Zhang Mao was ordered to take charge of the Military Department, and he was specially appointed as the head of the Military Department, with the rank of Zhengyipin. ”
"The new military department is deliberately divided into three divisions, the military and political department, which is mainly responsible for the distribution of military salaries to soldiers and generals, as well as dealing with some military family placement issues."
"The military war department, both the three battalions and the nine sides of the main battle army."
"The Ministry of Military Justice, there is a way that there are no rules, and the army should also have certain rules to ensure the interests of soldiers."
Speaking of this, he also deliberately glanced at the group of generals led by the British Duke, and said meaningfully: "I have heard that there are often generals in the army who take advantage of their status to eat empty salaries, encroach on the soldiers' due money, and even kill soldiers at will. ”
"This Ministry of Military Justice is for those scum in the army who like to eat empty salaries and infringe on the interests of soldiers."
