The court council refers to the discussion and deliberation of the king and his ministers on the affairs of the state.

Since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu stipulated that when the court disagreed, the emperor should be summarized to make a ruling.

The principle of adherence to the majority opinion has been abolished.

Yang Chengying also used it, but added an article to the original meaning of the court meeting, legislative power.

In other words, the laws that fall within his jurisdiction are subject to the deliberations of the court.

Other institutions do not have the power to legislate.

If there is a legal loophole, it will also be discussed at the meeting in the second year.

It's just that the first court meeting was a little different.

This time, the adoption of various management systems, as well as various laws and regulations, will become the cornerstone of this new regime.

The first to be determined was the quadricameral system - the Cabinet of Ministers, the Privy Council, the Dali Yuan, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The head of the House of Ministers is called the Prime Minister.

The prime minister's deputy is the deputy prime minister, and there are two deputy ministers, left and right.

If the prime minister has something to do, the left minister will act as his agent, and if the left minister has an accident, it will be the turn of the right minister.

Fan Wencheng is the prime minister, and I am the left minister and the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Dai Shan is the right minister and the secretary of the domain.

There are university scholars under it, who are in charge of some departments. If something happens, the university scholar is responsible.

For example, Dolgon was a university scholar and was in charge of agriculture and commerce, water conservancy, and the state of the country.

The Privy Council is in charge of the command and the army, and the Privy Council is still Yang Chengying.

The Privy Vice-Chancellor is Zu Dashou, who actually manages the affairs of the Privy Council.

Anyone who holds the title of Privy Counsellor does not actually administer the Privy Council.

There is a difference between the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.

The Ministry of War is responsible for the building of the armed forces throughout the territory, such as recruitment, establishment, equipment, training, and military scientific research, but is not responsible for military logistics and equipment.

The logistics of the army is under the Privy Council's General Baggage Division, and the equipment is under the Privy Council's General Ordnance Division.

To put it bluntly, the recruits went to the military department, and the soldiers and auxiliaries went to the Privy Council.

The Dali Yuan is responsible for the trial of cases, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials.

Bao Chengxian served as the secretary of the Dali Academy, and Zhang Cunren served as the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy.

The meeting lasted longer than expected, and did not adjourn until the tenth day of the first month.

On the day of the dismissal, Yang Chengying made a shocking announcement:

"The old calendar can no longer be used, and Xu Lao once presided over the compilation of a new calendar book, called the Chongzhen calendar book."

Yang Cheng announced to the public: "Starting this year, the whole territory will use this new calendar, and the name will not change. ”

After speaking, Yang Chengying sent someone to check the new calendar for everyone to consult.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Someone objected: "Your Majesty, the new calendar is a Western method of measurement, how can it be used!" ”

"The minister also thinks that the new calendar cannot be used." Someone chimed in, "In the new almanac, it is written that this calendar can only be used for two hundred years, which is a curse on the king." ”

There was a lot of talking.

Yang Chengying said: "Since ancient times, there has been no immortal world. The calendar is fundamental to the development of agriculture.

We can't disuse it just because it's someone else's hand, it's against our will. ”

Seeing that the king was "obsessed", some people launched a traditional skill - bitter persuasion.

Yang Chengying's attitude is still very resolute: "The new calendar must be implemented, and no obstruction can change this." ”

Only then did he barely suppress his voice.

Why change the calendar, anyone who has a certain amount of knowledge knows that this is a scientific question.

The Great Unification Calendar of the Ming Dynasty was actually the chronological calendar of the Yuan Dynasty, with only minor modifications.

It's been used for hundreds of years, so it's no wonder if there are no problems.

With the passage of time, the unification calendar has been unable to adapt to agricultural production. Chongzhen asked Xu Guangqi to preside over the compilation of the new calendar, and it was successful.

However, the voice of the Ming court against the change of the calendar was very loud, affecting Xu Guangqi.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Guangqi came to Liaodong.

Yang Chengying was resolute in implementing the new calendar, and the opposition was suppressed by his prestige.

On the eleventh day of the first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the officials who had obtained new positions left one after another.

Their term of office is five years, and they are evaluated once a year.

Once the five-year period expires, they will be promoted or adjusted according to the comprehensive conditions.

Abatai, the new governor of Chahar Province and commander of the 1st Army, said goodbye to Yang Chengying.

"Chahar Province, from Naiman in the east, to Zhangbei County in the west, to Keshiketeng in the north, and to Karaqin in the south. The territory is vast and the ethnic groups are complex. ”

Yang Chengying personally served food for Abatai and advised: "After you go, the first is to build a new governor's mansion - Chifeng, but don't be in a hurry. The second is to appease the mood of the various ministries, many of whom have just been brought under the rule and are not yet used to it. ”

"Rest assured, the king, the ministers will follow the king's method and gradually bring them under the administration of Chahar Province."

In broken Chinese, Abatai said, "It just takes some time, please ask the king's permission to act cheaply." ”

"It's nature." Yang Chengying nodded and said solemnly: "As the governor, this power must be given to you." You and Cui Chengxiu have to cooperate well, and if there is anything urgent, send me urgently. ”

Abatai is the governor, the lord of everything.

Choi Cheng-so is the governor in charge of civil affairs, which is equivalent to the deputy governor.

Jin Zhijun is the admiral, in charge of the security of the whole province, and is also equivalent to the deputy governor.

He has a standard battalion under his command, although the number is small, but it is useful at critical moments.

Feng Quan was transferred back to Shenyang by Yang Chengying and served as a left waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

"Please rest assured, your subordinates will do it."

When Abatai said this, he stopped talking.

Yang Chengying saw it: "Are you wondering, do you want to ask me to bring your son Bolo to Chahar Province." ”

"I have this idea, but ...... King! The minister still hopes that he can stay in the army and be more productive in the future. ”

Abatai hesitated for a moment and said.

"Pity the hearts of the parents of the world, your ideas will come true."

Yang Chengying promised: "I will teach Bolo well and make him a famous general like you." ”

"Thank you, King!" Abatai clenched his fists excitedly.

"Oh, yes, there's one more thing, it's very important."

Yang Chengying said: "The weather was abnormal at the end of last year, I'm afraid it's not a good sign, you go back and talk to Mr. Wu about it, prepare more beds and tents, in case of an epidemic, it's not a joke." ”

"Don't worry, the king will do it as soon as the minister returns."

Abatai said: "I am afraid that the Mongol ministries will think that I will take the opportunity to meddle in their affairs and cause them to be dissatisfied. ”

"This kind of thing can't be rushed. You first do a good job of hygiene in the army, and then spread it out little by little. ”

Yang Chengying said: "Since ancient times, prescient people have always been questioned, and if you encounter this, don't be afraid.

Even if the sky is broken, I am still here to stand on top. ”

"The king trusts, and the minister is grateful." Abatai saluted again.

After sending off the officials from all over the country, Yang Chengying began to reorganize the Eight Banners, according to the original discussion.

But there is a break-in period for this and it will take some time.

Just when the reform of the new law and the establishment of new institutions were in full swing outside the Guan, a major event also occurred in the Guannai.

First of all, Hong Chengchou was transferred.
