Chapter 1308 Violent personnel changes
In the Forbidden City, the melodious and heavy bells rang from time to time, sending various signals.
Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate opened, and officials from both sides poured in like a tide, then entered the cabinet, went straight to the second floor, and entered the conference room for the year-end conference.
The order of entry is from low to high. Whether it is a member of parliament or an official, they find their place, hold thick documents and carbon pens, sit down one after another, and whisper and discuss in a low voice. In the huge conference room, it seems that there are countless bees buzzing non-stop.
Although Sun Chuanting's rise was confirmed more than half a year ago, when Bi Ziyan fell ill, Sun Chuanting's plan to implement the government was too large, meticulous and extremely destructive, and would break the stability of Bi Ziyan's court since it was, which made almost everyone panic, fearful, and worried about the upcoming changes.
This change is today!
Not long after the low-level officials and congressmen came in, the bell rang again. High-level officials, six ministers, temple ministers from each temple, and Shaoqing entered the venue one after another, including officials from special yamen such as Fu Tao and Gong Dingzi.
The entry of these people suppressed the noise.
After a while, six senior officials like the Minister of the Ministry of Justice entered the venue one after another, and their voices gradually became suppressed.
Zhao Han, Minister of Personnel, Zhang Bingwen, Minister of Revenue, Guo Guangxin, Minister of War, Xu Dahua, Minister of Works, Liao Changyong, Minister of Justice, and Shen Xun, Minister of Rites.
Then there were five people including Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, King Jing Zhu Luhu, Wang Qiaonian, Fu Changzong, and Bi Ziyan "taken leave due to illness".
Sun Chengzong and others split the two sides and sat on both sides of the highest seat.
Everyone calmed down and looked at the side door intently, waiting for the last person.
The huge conference hall was filled with nearly five hundred people, which seemed unprecedentedly solemn and serious. The people inside unconsciously stood up straight and looked solemn.
On the middle wall of the conference room, there is the national flag and military flag of the Ming Dynasty. In the middle is a huge rectangular pendulum bell just made by the Royal Court. Each place looks unique ingenious, with frames, pointers, and compass. This is a concentrated reflection of the technological progress of the Ming Dynasty.
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong, a crisp sound was ringing in the conference room and also hitting many people's hearts.
As everyone was calling out, Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin came out from the small gate.
Cao Hua looked around, held the whisk, and shouted in a sharp voice, "The Emperor is here!"
The officials in the hall immediately stood up in unison, looked at Zhu Xu who had stepped out one foot, bowed and bowed aloud, "I will meet my emperor, long live my emperor!"
Zhu Xu came out and looked up and saw hundreds of people in the valley. The scene was unprecedentedly large, and they were basically senior officials of the Ming Dynasty, which determined almost everything in the Ming Dynasty, big and small!
Zhu Xu is now twenty-three years old, 1.75 meters tall, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and is considered the most ordinary type of person.
He strode forward, walked to his seat, waved his hand like spring breeze, and said, "Everyone is flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hundreds of people spoke in one after another, their voices echoing throughout the conference room.
A group of people put down their hands, did not sit, and were still standing, looking at Zhu Xu with different eyes.
On the ground, Zhu Xu stood at the highest point and could look down at everyone. He had a harmonious smile and elegant expression, as if a noble man from a high school, without a trace of fireworks, calm and at ease.
Zhu Xu sat down, looked at a group of people, and said with a smile, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone's voices became louder, and the chairs clattered and they sat down one after another.
At this time, Fu Changzong stood on a semicircular high platform in front of Zhu Xu's right hand, facing the conference hall.
He was the host of this time, replacing Sun Chuanting before last year.
Fu Changzong is almost fifty years old, with a little white hair on his temples and an older face. He has always been silent, and at this time he looks older.
He looked down at the manuscript paper on the table, raised his head, first bowed to Zhu Xu, and then faced the many congressmen and said in a deep voice: "In the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty, Jingzheng, the year-end discussion, now officially begins, the first item is the national anthem!"
As soon as Fu Changzong finished speaking, Zhu Xu was the first to stand up.
Having experienced it twice, many officials were not surprised or familiar with the process, they stood up together and looked up at the silver-white flagpole that lies between Zhu Xu and the MP.
The sonorous drums and music rang out, and the guard of honor came across in neat steps.
The drums and music were suddenly generous, and the national flag suddenly unfolded and rose slowly.
Zhu Xu opened his mouth and the national anthem was sung from his mouth.
This time, these adults lost their previous "shyness", and their voices were ups and downs, which were better than what Zhu Xu sang.
After the initial chaos, hundreds of people sang neatly and consistently.
When the national flag reached the top, the drums and music slowly stopped, the guard of honor turned around, saluted, and evacuated in a straight line.
Fu Changzong looked at the manuscript below, started talking again, and said in a deep voice: "The second agenda, regarding the relevant personnel adjustments, I hereby emphasize that this appointment is based on the adjustment of power, ability, and objective situation. Officials at all levels should take it seriously and put forward opinions and ideas here. Do not slander, slander or spread rumors underground, otherwise they will be severely punished!"
The room was silent. Fu Changzong's words were all "nonsense". What they cared more about was the personnel appointments later. Although many people already knew about it, due to the tight time, some people had not received enough brewing, and some people had other thoughts.
Fu Changzong took out a list and read it directly: "In terms of the cabinet, a series of officials will be adjusted. Bi Ziyan resigned from the position of the left auxiliary due to physical reasons. After careful consideration, the emperor had already approved it and nominated Sun Chuanting to take over as the left auxiliary, Fu Changzong took over as the fifth cabinet minister, Zhou Yingqiu took over as the sixth cabinet minister, Li Youtang, the secretary of the cabinet minister, Bao Liyou, the deputy chief of the staff department, took over as the deputy director of the staff department... In terms of the six ministries, Guo Guangxin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhang Guowei, took over as the left assistant minister, Liao Changyong, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, took over as the left assistant minister, Zhong Yangsheng, took over as the left assistant minister, Xu Dahua, moved him as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Fang Kongxu, took over as the deputy minister..."
When I heard this, I wonder how many people were shocked. Not only did the cabinet say that the six ministers changed halfway.
According to common sense, these must be discussed and recommended by the court. Even in the parliament, they must be voted one by one. However, obviously Sun Chuanting doesn't want to be so troublesome. He read them in one go and passed them in one go!
After talking about the six ministries, Fu Changzong continued: "Jiang Dejing, Governor of Yunnan, Governor of Fujian, Qian Longxi, Governor of Fujian... After the six governors arrived at the age of the line, they have submitted their resignation to the cabinet. The cabinet has approved it and are nominated now..."
In the huge chamber, hundreds of people were silent.
Although there were more than 20 provinces in the Ming Dynasty, there were only thirteen traditional provinces, including Mongolia, North Korea, Ryukyu, Annan and South China Sea provinces. This was a sudden change of half!
Such courage is far from what Bi Ziyan has!
