Chapter 36 Formation of the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Division

In the early morning of the next day, Fengtian Temple, the court meeting.

This was the first official court meeting since Zhu Guanwen ascended the throne.

At this moment, looking at the eyes of those civil and military officials, they were much more respectful than when they ascended the throne.

Maybe the throne is a foregone conclusion, or maybe those vassal kings are not there, and the officials are in good spirits and uncomfortable.

It's a pity that most of Zhu Guanwen, who is sitting on the dragon chair, doesn't know him.

Fortunately, a few familiar faces stood up to perform the matter, so that the first pilgrimage meeting was not so embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!"

Fang Xiaoru finally compromised with Zhu Guanwen, not only stood in the court, but also took the lead in coming out to do things.

Zhu Guanwen smiled, raised his hand and said, "Fang Aiqing is here!" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are ordered by Your Majesty to preside over Enke, however, the northern scholars are far away, and Enke is suddenly opened, and the ministers are afraid that they will not have time to prepare, so it is recommended that the imperial court subsidize the northern scholars a little and let them come to the capital earlier!" Fang Xiaoru arched his hand.

"Reasonable." Zhu Guanwen nodded, and asked again: "Then in Fang Aiqing's opinion, how much should be subsidized for these scholars who came early?" ”

"The minister's suggestion is to have two big money, just let them have a baked cake to eat every day!"

"Two big bucks?"

Zhu Guanwen frowned, and said in his heart how much is the big money? Can you eat a pancake every day?

Forget it, treat the pillars of the country, and be more gracious.

"Two runs are too little money, I think five runs are appropriate, so that everyone can eat enough and take the exam!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Fang Xiaoru's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed his hand and sang the salute.

However, before he could be happy, Huang Zicheng stood up again: "Your Majesty, the minister also has something to play!" ”

"What does Huang Aiqing have to play? Come on! ”

Zhu Guanwen was a little funny in his heart, knowing that he was going to do something.

Sure enough, Huang Zicheng immediately stood up and fired at Fang Xiaoru; "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Fang Hanlin is unfair!"

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Fang Hanlin favors one over the other!" Qi Tai stood up and arched his hand.

"The two Aiqing are a little restless, and they say one by one, Huang Aiqing, you speak first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Zicheng arched his hand, raised his eyebrows and coldly greeted the other party's filial piety, and said: "Although the northern students are far away, the southern students are equally important. ”

"Now is different from the past, where is the injustice?" Fang Xiaoru said solemnly: "The matter of students in the north and south, Taizu has already made a conclusion, Huang Xiushu put it forward, didn't he question Taizu?" ”

"You!"

Huang Zicheng was so angry that Qi Tai suddenly stood up and said angrily: "You Fang Xiaoru is also a southerner, and you don't think about the students in the south, what's your intention?" ”

"Although our filial piety is a southerner, he is dedicated to the country and only has the court in his heart."

"Since you have the imperial court in your heart, you should know, if the southern students learn that the northern students have subsidies, what should they think?"

Fang Xiaoru frowned: "Your Majesty's Enke is a grace to the students of the world, this is the greatest kindness, if you resent the court because of this subsidy, can the court still use it?" ”

"This ......"

Qi Tai was speechless by Fang Xiaoru's refutation.

The rest of the ministers were also impressed by each other's filial piety.

They didn't know what happened to Fang Xiaoru, but it was really surprising that Fang Xiaoru was so sharp-toothed.

Seeing that Huang Qi and the others were speechless by Fang Xiaoru's refutation, Zhu Guanwen smiled and said, "Okay, the three Aiqing are reasonable!" ”

"Still." As he spoke, he changed his words: "I have a way to get the best of both worlds. ”

"If Your Majesty also subsidizes students in the south, then the expenditure of the imperial court will increase by a large amount, which is not appropriate."

Hubu Shangshu Yuxin stood up and arched his hand.

"The ministers seconded it!" The rest of the household officials also stepped forward and chimed in.

Zhu Guanwen glanced at them, then waved his hand and said: "I mean that the north and south will take separate examinations, and the jinshi will be selected according to the different admission ratios of the north and the south, and then the unified palace examination will be conducted. ”

"This ......"

When the ministers heard this, they were slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at the officials.

Zhang Zhen, the secretary of the ministry, stood up and arched his hand: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what kind of admission ratio will be adopted?" ”

Zhu Guanwen thought for a while and said with a smile: "Six points for the south and four points for the north." ”

This is actually the idea of "North and South Volumes" that Yang Shiqi proposed to Zhu Gaochi of Mingrenzong, and was later adopted by Zhu Gaochi.

This means that six out of ten students are admitted to the southern paper and four out of ten are admitted to the northern paper.

On the surface, it gave favors to students from the north, but at the same time, it also gave benefits to students from the south.

It's a political balance.

At the beginning, the case of the North and South actually reflected the cultural differences between the north and the south in the Ming Dynasty, and the dispute between the students of the north and the south eventually evolved into a dispute between the officials of the north and the south.

That's why it's so big.

Zhu Guanwen advanced the idea of the "north-south volume", and also wanted to balance the mentality of officials in the north and south, otherwise there would be another incident of students in the north and south, and it would be a headache.

When Zhang Zhen heard Zhu Guanwen's admission ratio, he pondered for a moment, and immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming ——!"

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and the Ministry of Officials and Shangshu took the lead in praising His Majesty, and the rest of the ministers also hurriedly stepped forward to echo.

Only then did Zhu Guanwen discover that the big guy is the real big guy.

No matter how Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng argued, those officials in the DPRK and China only regarded it as a good show, and would not stand up and echo them at all.

And Zhang Zhen is different, his status in the court is obviously not comparable to Fang Xiaoru.

After a little groaning, Zhu Guanwen waved his hand again and said: "Okay, this matter is settled, next, I have an important matter to announce!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other and looked at each other.

"Wang Zhong!"

"The slave is here!"

When Wang Zhong heard the shout, he immediately stood up, still holding a scroll of holy decrees in his hand.

But I heard him recite in a shrill voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the system says: Since I carried the ship, I have been criticizing state affairs, and I feel that everything is complicated, and I am afraid that there will be a little difference, which will delay the livelihood of the people, and I will be shameless to Taizu. ”

"In the year of this year, the experience of government affairs is shallow, and I should take the virtuous ministers as teachers, and work together to govern the family and the country, I have heard that Zhang Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, Yu Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Fang Xiaoru, the bachelor of Hanlin, and Huang Zicheng, are all great talents, and have the ability to govern the country.

In addition, the Wenhua Hall is the Cabinet House. The six books in the Chinese book and one of the thirteen provinces should be transmitted to the Cabinet House by the General Administration Department, which will be pre-approved and annotated by the Cabinet Council, and then sent to the royal court for approval. After the instructions were completed and printed, they were sent to the Department of General Administration and transmitted to the six ministries and thirteen provinces. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang was here, there was already a prototype of the cabinet, so Zhu Guanwen's current arrangement is not a drastic reform.

However, the formal establishment of the cabinet ministers still gave a lot of shock to the civil and military officials.

After all, although these ministers do not have the name of prime ministers, they do have the reality of prime ministers.

The moment they heard the holy decree, Zhang, Yu, Fang, and Huang hurriedly stood up and shouted long live, and the excitement in their hearts was beyond words.

And the rest of the ministers were also full of envy.

Especially those military generals, their eyes were red all over, and they said in their hearts that His Majesty really valued literature over martial arts.

However, before they could begin to grieve and be angry, Zhu Guanwen spoke again: "In addition to the cabinet, I am also preparing to set up a military aircraft department!" ”

"Military Aircraft Division?"

The ministers were shocked again, and said in their hearts, Your Majesty, this is to separate the civil and military families!
