Zhu En was scolded by Zhu Houzhao and voluntarily resigned from his post, and the position of Minister of Rites was vacant again.

For some reason, the Minister of Rites of Zhengde Dynasty was always prone to accidents.

Zhang Sheng, Minister of Rites, was sentenced to death for committing a rebellion.

Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, was executed by former cabinet minister Xu Jin for his intention to establish a new emperor.

This position of Qing dynasty, which was the easiest way to enter the cabinet in the court, seems to have never been able to stabilize this position.

Zhu Houzhao actually had low requirements for the Minister of Rites. In even the seven Ministers (a new academic department) he only accepted that the Minister of Rites could be a little more pedantic and stubborn.

However, this does not mean that Zhu Houzhao doesn't like the Minister of Rites. He is an official who knows nothing but loves to be blind. The key is that he can't even say anything.

"The court's approval system needs to be changed. In the future, except for the Ministry of Justice, the other six ministers, the governors of various provinces and the cabinet ministers will be recommended by the chief minister of the cabinet, and then the cabinet will discuss voting with the current nine ministers and the Six Corridors of the Censorate. If more than half of them agree, I will ask for approval. I must personally interview the recommended person. I will not ask about his qualifications and focus on his talents. If the recommended person is not capable of talent, I will hold the chief minister accountable. How did you recommend it!"

Zhu Houzhao knew that the Ming Dynasty was different from previous dynasties. Because Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system, the power of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the administrative head of administration who handles daily administrative affairs was not clear. In name, the emperor was both the head of state, the administrative head or the military commander.

Although this is beneficial to monarchy, it is unrealistic.

Because not every emperor is as energetic as Zhu Yuanzhang, even if the prime minister system is banned, it will have the function of replacing prime ministers with an official position similar to that of prime ministers, such as the current cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty.

However, because the cabinet was a temporary institution at the beginning, its administrative functions have always been unclear and do not even fully possess the functions of a central institution.

Because of this, it is sometimes difficult for the emperor to control the civil servant group by controlling the cabinet, because many civil servants, especially the six former ministers, do not take the cabinet seriously at all. After all, they do not belong to the cabinet in terms of law, and they are not recommended by the cabinet people. They are recommended by the entire civil servant group.

In history, Zhang Juzheng's reforms were not only supported by the inner court, but also had to control the six ministries before he could carry out reforms. However, even so, many civil officials still did not buy the accounts of him, the chief minister of the cabinet. He wanted the cabinet to control the six departments and would be opposed.

But now, Zhu Houzhao has to put a tight curse on the entire civil servant group and set a housekeeper for them, that is, let the cabinet chief minister truly have the administrative power of the prime minister. There is definitely no military power. The supreme military commander must be himself! But administratively, the cabinet chief minister can have the real power to command all officials, so that he, the emperor, can directly control the entire civil servant group by controlling a cabinet chief minister.

After all, I am not Zhu Yuanzhang, and I cannot fight against the entire civil servant group alone. I can learn from Jiajing and use the cabinet to control the civil servant group. In fact, in the original history, the power of the cabinet began to expand during the Jiajing Dynasty. It was not until the Jiajing period that the cabinet truly had the real power of the prime minister, and the so-called powerful ministers such as Yan Song appeared.

"Your Majesty! Please think twice. In this case, the power of the cabinet's chief minister is too great. Wouldn't the civil officials in the world be his lackeys? We are ministers of the emperor, not his chief minister's disciples!"

At this time, Jiao Huangzhong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, stood up. He knew that this move was on the surface that His Majesty was giving Quan Yu the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, but in fact he was looking for another leader for the civil servant group. It was like a shepherd who found a shepherd to take care of the flock. Jiao Huangzhong knew that as long as His Majesty controlled the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, it would be equivalent to controlling all civil servants.

But Jiaohuangzhong cannot say this directly. He can only attempt to organize Zhu Houzhao on the grounds that the power of the chief minister may be too large.

"You are all my disciples. Even if the chief minister is your superior, he is only your government officials. As long as you don't bend your knees, can his chief minister make you bend? The chief minister is not a king, so he has no right to deal with you, let alone the censor of the Six Corps and the Censorate of the Censorate. He has no right to impeach you, but only the right to recommend you! Moreover, not all civil officials need to be recommended by the chief minister of the cabinet, and other civil officials of the Three Laws and other civil servants do not have to be recommended by the chief minister of the cabinet!"

Zhu Houzhao said this, Jiao Huangzhong knew that he could not stop His Majesty the Emperor from intending to strengthen the power of the cabinet, and he only sighed in his heart that in the future, those who want to be cabinet ministers are afraid that no one in the world will have the heart to focus on persuading Your Majesty, and only focus on being the chief minister who is below one person and above ten thousand people. He only thinks about changing the world himself, not changing the king. The king is more free, but he is afraid that there will be more foolish kings in the future!

As expected in the yellow yellow, Zhu Houzhao knew that doing so would make the emperor more free. Even if the emperor refines alchemy and does woodworking, the world can run normally, and even if the young master ascends the throne, he can start a generation of revival. As long as the civil servants do not use despicable means, the emperor can completely control the world by controlling a minister.

But sometimes there is a gap between reality and ideals. The emperor wants to control the chief minister, and the civil servant group also wants to control the chief minister. Even in the late Wanli period in history, Gu Xian of the Donglin Party, who became a first-five-rank small official, could cooperate with officials from all over the world to interfere in the candidates of cabinet ministers, and even control cabinet politics, forcing the cabinet chief minister Fang Congzhe to step down.

No matter what the dynasty will develop in the future, at least the current cabinet power needs to be clarified and expanded to conform to the historical trend, and it is also the best way for Zhu Houzhao to take advantage of the factory and security system at present.

After all, civil servants are also human beings, and they must have the highest goal. They do not see that they can have the highest power, and they will not have the intention to make progress and have the ideal of governing the country and pacifying the world. Otherwise, they will only think that reforming the world is the emperor's own business.

"I will obey the order!"

The cabinet chief Wang Hua first bowed his hand. He knew that if he changed according to what His Majesty said, the cabinet chief would become the so-called prime minister. He didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He felt that he was sitting on a stove, feeling hot and unable to get off for a while.

Gui E, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, looked at Wang Hua, the chief assistant of the cabinet. He couldn't help but smile. He was even happier than Wang Hua. He knew that once he became the chief assistant in the future, he would no longer be just an emperor's document, but could really lead all officials in the world and do things that promote profits and eliminate disadvantages.

Gui E secretly calculated who else was ahead of him and when would he become the chief assistant?

Liu Yu, the second assistant to the cabinet, also looked at Wang Hua meaningfully. He felt that Wang Hua should retire for the first time.
