Military arrangements have been deployed covertly.

Chongzhen began his own internal integration of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the Ming imperial system, the first step in integration was, of course, to re-select the cabinet and assign the officials of the Nine Secretaries.

Many Internet historians always believe that Chongzhen was hollowed out by the civilian government, which led to the more he did nothing in the future.

In fact, as long as they have read the legend of Chongzhen, they can find that the Chongzhen Dynasty is inefficient, which started from this court link after the change.

Chongzhen was angry with Donglin boss Qian Longxi because of Yuan Chonghuan's case, and almost killed him in a fit of rage.

At the same time, Chongzhen began to be possessed by Internet historians, suspecting that the court was controlled by the Donglin Party and deliberately hollowed himself out.

After Chongzhen wanted to clean up the psychology of the party, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, the waiters of the Ministry of Rites, formed a political alliance to involve Qian Qianyi, who was originally expected to enter the cabinet, with the Donglin Party and the Jinyiwei of the Inner Court.

Enraged, Chongzhen drove Qian Qianyi out of the court, while Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren got their wish and entered the cabinet one after another.

With the efforts of these two big-stirring sticks, the Chongzhen Dynasty will never have a peaceful day, and Liu Zongzhou, Wen Zhenmeng, Huang Daozhou and others will go toe-to-toe with it.

Above the court, no one pays attention to government affairs. The quality of the ministers and the seven secretaries also continued to fall.

Chongzhen instructed Wang Yongguang to submit a secret list, with the intention of avoiding this phenomenon.

Prior to this, the appointment of cabinet ministers and seven secretaries required all officials to discuss and draw up a list.

Under this system, of course, the courtiers had to form a party.

If you make a mistake in office, your party can control the direction of public opinion, and turn big things into small things and small things into small things.

If he steps down, his party can nominate him back.

Of course Chongzhen doesn't take this, who is loyal to him and who has what kind of ability, he has already cleared the door.

Of course, Chongzhen's actions are still relaxed, and he personally persuades the important ministers he wants to remove, and he also gives him enough treatment

Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en.

Now the number of people in the hall listening to Wang Yongguang read out the list is less than half of the original number of people in the court.

"Cheng Jiming is the first assistant of the cabinet, Qian Xiangkun is the second assistant, and Jia Wenhuadian University Scholar."

"Wang Yongguang, Zhou Yanru, and Xu Guangqi were promoted to be scholars of Wuyingdian University, and they were joined by Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the Ministry of War."

"Xu Guangqi concurrently serves as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Qian Xiangkun concurrently serves as the secretary of the Criminal Department, Bi Ziyan is the secretary of the household department, and He Ruzhong is still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Wen Tiren was transferred to the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”

When the ministers who remained in the palace heard the appointment, they all looked at each other.

And what about the most important official book?

But Wang Yongguang, who had already finished reading out, was watching his mouth and his heart at this time, silent, just waiting for the emperor to speak.

Chongzhen cleared his throat, and first encouraged the ministers present, asking everyone to do a good job next.

Then a new policy was announced regarding the important ministers of the cabinet and the seven secretaries, that is, in the future, the appointment of these people was directly discussed by the emperor and the secretary of the ministry.

Of course, the ministers can disagree, but that is just for reference.

The ministers present were staring at each other again.

However, this is either a docile personality such as Cheng Jiming, Qian Xiangkun, or He Rupet.

Either the city government is as deep as Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru.

is not the kind of minister who will fight in front of the court and have nothing to avoid.

Therefore, with no one to express an opinion, this extremely important court meeting ended in a hurry.

Only Wen Tiren was left behind by Chongzhen.

"Changqing (Wen Tiren character Changqing), after this court meeting, I'm afraid that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will find me a lot of trouble!" Chongzhen snorted first.

Wen Tiren was still confused about his appointment to the imperial history of the left capital, and he didn't know how to respond when he heard Chongzhen say this at this moment, but said vaguely, "The holy judge is like this, the Taoist official can only correct from the side, how dare he question the holy will" Yunyun.

"Well, that's a good point." Chongzhen nodded. "Changqing, do you know why I let you be the imperial history of the left capital."

Wen Tiren was also wondering about this question, so he simply started with the standard answer of historical longitude and latitude, "Hongwu set up the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise hundreds of officials, presumably His Majesty is worried about the corruption of officials, so he entrusted the ministers with important tasks." ”

"Ministers must serve the country diligently, and encourage all officials to speak boldly and share worries for the country."

Chongzhen shook his head, "Wrong, Changqing." ”

"I asked you to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, not to let you supervise the hundred officials, but to let you supervise the science and road officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, do you understand?"

"Ah this," Wen Tiren was shocked, "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't understand. ”

"Don't understand? This time, I took back the ministers' right to push the court, and of course the officials wanted to actively speak out and accuse me of violating the ancestral system. ”

Wen Tiren hesitated, "Your Majesty, the original system is indeed after the court push, and you have the right to veto." But as for the complete repossession of the right to push the court, it is true that "

Chongzhen interrupted, "In other words, Changqing, you are older than Zhou Yanru, right?" ”

Wen Tiren said, "I'm ashamed, the minister is indeed obsessed with the jade rope for more than ten years. ”

"Although there is a difference in your age, Zhou Yanru has entered the cabinet, but you are still outside the palace, which is really unbearable."

Chongzhen suddenly approached Wen Tiren, forcing him to retreat, "But I'm telling you now, as long as you control those indiscriminate civil officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, don't say enter the cabinet, even Shoufu can do it." You still don't understand? ”

Wen Tiren's mind was racing, where could he not know that this was a great opportunity that might be only once in a lifetime, and he hurriedly kowtowed, "The minister understands, understands!" This will be done for Your Majesty. ”

"Good!" Chongzhen sat back in his place, "But there is one thing, the person I want to go down, you will go down for me, the person I want to protect, you can't move, don't you understand?" ”

Wen Tiren said solemnly, "The minister understands! ”

Chongzhen stared at him for a while, and at this time, of course, he didn't know whether Wen Tiren really understood or fakely, so he could only wait and see the after-effects.

sent Wen Tiren away, and Chongzhen called Wang Chengen again and went to the ministry.

Coming to the Wenxuan Division of the Ministry of Officials, this is the most important destination for Chongzhen to rectify the rule of officials.

The previous re-election of the cabinet and Jiuqing, on the one hand, was to avoid a recurrence of party disputes in history, and on the other hand, to make its composition change to people who did not dare to resist themselves and did not want to resist themselves.

On the other hand, he took the opportunity to put Wang Yongguang into the cabinet and vacate the post of secretary of the ministry.

The six ministries originally belonged directly to the emperor, and after removing the Shangshu, Chongzhen could directly intervene in the affairs of the ministry.

Of course, Chongzhen can also not be so dedicated, directly appoint a new official secretary, and then slowly wait for him to implement his reform decree.

It's just that in the middle, there will inevitably be differences of opinion, and there will inevitably be deformations in execution.

Not to mention that even if Chongzhen can wait for it to be completed, Daming, who is in turmoil at the moment, can't afford to wait.

Directly enter the Department of Anthology, which is the core department in charge of the promotion and evaluation of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty.

This time, Chongzhen wants to completely change the evaluation criteria of the Anthology Division, and even more so to completely improve its work flow.
