Chapter 1311 The rise of the government department

No matter what the officials inside and outside the government and the country were thinking, Sun Chuanting had generally controlled the parliament, and his restructuring and his speeches did not have any accidents, and was fully grasped.

The next day, the revision of the Ming Law, which was based on the Ming Law and the criminal law and civil law as the flank. It covered agriculture, commerce, administration, economy, diplomacy, military, marriage, education, national defense, maritime trade and other aspects, and formulated more than ten laws.

This is a complicated matter. If it is to be reviewed, it will take many days even for hundreds of people. But this time, it only needs to be "passed" and needs to be supplemented afterwards. Therefore, it will be reviewed in a hurry and it will take one day to pass.

On the third day, we are dealing with real problems.

First of all, the division of powers and duties under the majority system. Now the six ministries have basically annexed the Nine Temples, and the framework is the emperor-cabinet-six ministries. Therefore, the division of powers and duties, clarification, distribution and implementation of responsibilities, is another fierce bargaining.

All of these are under Sun Chuanting's control, leaving little room for discussion for the parliament and has no trouble.

Then, the local governments have clarified the rights and responsibilities of the governor's yamen, prefectural and county yamen, and involved official hats, power, and taxes. These congressmen were recommended by the local government, so naturally there were many twists and turns.

However, Sun Chuanting was strong and with the assistance of a cabinet senior, he quickly suppressed the noise and quickly passed these issues.

At the end of the third day, there are still many things that have not been dealt with, such as the division of new provinces, the appointment of governors and officials at all levels, the audit of next year's budget, the summary of the performance of the six ministers of the ministers, etc.

Finally, Sun Chuanting proposed that these issues be suppressed. After the Nianmu, the cabinet will make a report and submit it to the Standing Council of the Parliament, composed of the upper and lower houses, for review, and follow the simplified procedures.

This was approved by the parliament, and the change of the Ming Dynasty, which was exciting and exciting, was finally completed successfully.

This "smooth" was in the eyes of Zhu Xu, Sun Chuanting and others. However, such a large-scale reform broke the balance and stability that Bi Ziyan had worked hard to establish. Everyone could not predict what consequences would have to wait for it.

But on the second day of Nianmu, on the second day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Jingzheng, the cabinet issued an order, which ordered the cabinet only more than twenty words, but it was meaningful.

This order was directed to the Zong Zhenglu King of Zong Renfu, who was deprived of his position as Zong Zheng because of his "corrupt and illegal behavior and violent behavior".

Then, the Ministry of Justice acted quickly and directly interrogated from the Tianzhu. Two days later, the Lu Palace was circulated. The Emperor of the Cabinet requested to deprive the title of Lu.

The Qianqing Palace was quiet for two days, and the cabinet submitted three memorials in succession, with earnest words. In the end, the Qianqing Palace approved the edict that deprived the Prince of Lu was passed down.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty lost another prince, indicating that thousands of people who had passed the king left the royal family and lost their iron salary.

The officials of the court and the opposition who were already lucky now have a thorough understanding. The Zongren Mansion, Zong Zheng, was exempted from being exempted, and the title of prince was seized. There is nothing he could not do!

Many officials in the ruling and opposition were uneasy, but for Sun Chuanting or the government and opposition who supported the "New Deal" under the cabinet, it was tantamount to a shot of a heart. Sun Chuanting was so strong and decisive that he would definitely break the current deadlock and lead them forward to reach the "Ming Dynasty Restoration" they had always dreamed of and the "Scenery in the Prosperity"!

No matter how nervous or excited the officials in the court and the country were so excited that they could not sleep, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is still the most lively festival in the Ming Dynasty, and the capital entered the festive atmosphere early.

Even the palace, which has always been forbidden to firecrackers, was allowed to be approved in several places. The sound of cannons spread all over the capital, laughter and joy resounded throughout the sky and underground.

Cining Palace.

Zhu Xu, Zhang Yun and other women, as well as five children, Empress Dowager Zhang, Xiao Yongning and others, surrounded a large table, the hot pot was steaming, and all kinds of guesses were piled up on the table.

A few little guys compete and fight for each other, it’s so lively.

Empress Dowager Zhang sat next to Zhu Xu, looking at the whole family, happy, and said with a smile on her face: "That's good."

Zhu Xu smiled and agreed, saying, "There are a few children that are lively. You don't know that the princess is in Jingdezhen. If the queen hadn't stopped him, they would have almost flew into the sky."

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Zhang glared at Zhu Xu and said, "I didn't take good care of you when you were a child. Don't lead them badly! When the court started, I asked Xinjian Bo to speak carefully, how did he educate the prince? If he couldn't do it well, he would change to someone else to do it!"

Zhu Xu originally wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but he prepared a few interesting things later, but he didn't know that he would teach such a lesson.

Zhang Yun stretched his neck and said, "Sister-in-law, I mean to find a few more gentlemen. I heard that Song Yingxing, the vice president of the Royal Court, is good. I thought about it and called him into the palace to take a look."

Empress Dowager Zhang became interested when she heard this. She was about to stretch her neck, but she seemed to feel indecent. She patted Zhu Xu and said, "Sit up here."

Zhu Xu opened his eyes, smashed his mouth, and got up to change positions with Empress Dowager Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhang Yun got together, and not long after, Li Jieyu joined in, and then Hai Lanzhu also spoke with her neck.

It is related to their children's education and future, and they dare not be careless.

Xiao Yongning sat next to Zhu Xu, looked at Zhu Xu, and hummed, "I told you not to take me there, hum!"

Zhu Xu glared at her angrily and said, "I heard that you ran to the residence of the Old General Qin if you have nothing to do? Do you believe that I will take back your waist sign from the palace?"

The little girl pouted and snorted, saying, "I know I'm bullying me. You have the ability to go and cause trouble for the Empress Dowager!"

Zhu Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him and looked at the children on the table.

Xiao Ciye has always been following the rules, sitting straight, holding chopsticks, not fighting or robbing, and taking the initiative to give in to his younger brother.

Xiao Cixuan knelt on the chair, swallowing her voraciously, but she never stopped her chopsticks, sweating all over and having a lot of fun eating.

Xiao Ciyi was a little quiet and didn't eat much. He looked at the dishes on the table, and seemed a little bored and had a very boring meal.

Xiao Cixuan is over two years old and stands on a stool, holding the chopsticks with his little hands tremblingly, fighting with a chicken leg, with his little face full of persistence.

Xiao Shuxian held the bowl and ran all over the table, and snatched food with Xiao Cixuan, chattering, showing off her elder sister's style, coaxing and cheating, and if she couldn't do it, she would snatch it.

Xiao Yongning also looked at him and hummed, "No one was angry!"

Zhu Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he picked up the chopsticks and said, "Don't leave the palace at will after the New Year, so as to cause less trouble for me."

Xiao Yongning is already sixteen, a mature princess, not as easy to deceive as before. She ignored Zhu Xu's "threat" and ate slowly, not knowing what was wandering around her little head.

The rumbling sound of cannons outside seemed to not affect the cabinet. The cabinet building was brightly lit and crowded.

Six lofts, including Sun Chuanting, six ministers, and a total of twelve people were discussing some things overnight.

These twelve people are the top management of the Ming Dynasty and almost determine everything about the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Chuanting had several thick documents in front of him. He looked down at Zhao Han, the Minister of Personnel, and said: "For officials at the level of the prefecture, the Ministry of Personnel has listed a list of more than 200 people, covering almost all prefectures of the Ming Dynasty. You have read the list. Are there any other statements?"

The new Minister of War Zhang Guowei looked through the list and frowned: "All of them came from the Zhengyuan? Is it unfair? I am worried that it will cause injustice among the officials of the court and the country."

The cabinet ministers and the six ministers of the ministers of the Ministry can be said to have complex relationships, but they cannot escape the word "Imperial Party". Only Zhang Guowei, who is Bi Ziyan's man.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Yangsheng, the Minister of Justice, spoke in a cold tone: "The 'new policy' has stagnated over the years. The biggest resistance is these prefectures. They colluded with local gentry, bandits, etc., and they were the most hateful group of people, and they must be transferred away!"

Zhong Yangsheng was also the Minister of Justice last year and was promoted by Sun Chuanting.

Zhang Guowei naturally knew his situation in the cabinet. He glanced at a group of people and said calmly: "I don't think we can't directly attack the prefect. We should start with the subordinates first, follow the steps, and wait until the time is ripe before moving the prefect. The scale cannot be so large, otherwise the local area will be unstable, the people's hearts will be in chaos, and there may be chaos!"

The level of the prefecture is the middle level of the province and county. If this level is unstable, the upper and lower ends will be in chaos, which is an extremely critical position.

The new Minister of Works Fang Kongxie responded, saying: "If it weren't for the fact that my Ming Dynasty was too large and my population was too large, I even hoped to abolish the prefecture level and make the county-level management, so that it would be more powerful for the 'new policy'."

Zhang Bingwen glanced at the two and said, "The reform at the government level is to undertake reform at the provincial level. The governor's yamen has been reformed for many years, and it is basically stable and has greatly strengthened its control over the local area. It is time to take action at the government level. Next year, the latest year after year, adjustments must be made at the county level. Therefore, reliable people must be used. Any accident in any government may impact our plan, and we must be cautious!"

Zhang Bingwen is from Fu Changzong and comes from the Ministry of Revenue.

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Han then said: "As for officials from the Zhengyuan, the court cannot discriminate, suppress, and look at them from the other side. We must treat them equally. When inspecting the list, the Ministry of Personnel combined all the situations. It is not that there are no unexpected officials from the Zhengyuan, but that there are relatively few. The reason is that from five or six years ago, some people have refused to take office and not participated in the imperial examinations, which has led to the fewer new generation of officials who can now serve at the prefecture level, and it is not that the Ministry of Personnel does this deliberately."

Zhang Guowei's face was dark, and he looked at the people present and felt dark. He finally understood what was going on in the cabinet. It was not easy for Bi Ziyan to suppress the cabinet for so many years.

Faced with the siege of almost everyone, Zhang Guowei chose to remain silent.

He knew that Zhao Han's words were seven percent correct, but the result was deliberately planned by the imperial court or the Qianqing Palace for many years.

With officials from the Royal Court, can we clean up the officialdom since Wanli?

Sun Chuanting ignored Zhang Guowei's silence and said: "For some important prefectures, the Ministry of Personnel will send people to appoint them personally, and others can be arranged by the governors of each province. Now, let's talk about the appointments of the court and the fourth and fifth rank officials. The Ministry of Personnel will talk about them first."

Zhao Han looked through the text in his hand, looked up at everyone, and said, "This official adjustment involves the cabinet departments, the doctors of the six ministries, the senators of various provinces, as well as the Dali Temple and the Governor's Office. There are 220 people in total, and the list is in the list in front of you. These have been fully prepared by the Ministry of Personnel and verified by the Governor's Office. There is no problem with character, ability, and loyalty."

These are the results of the joint discussion between the cabinet and the six ministers of the ministers. They have been submitted to Zhu Xu for reading. Now, we are going through the procedures in the cabinet.

Zhang Guowei's eyelids twitched and said, "Isn't it just a brewing plan? Will I say it later next year? When will this be announced?"

There are more than 200 people at the first level of the mansion, and now there are more than 300 more backbone people. If they are replaced at one time, a big mess will be inevitable!

Sun Chuanting said: "Before the end of this year, we will stabilize the level of the mansion and report the time to announce it, and it will remain confidential for the time being."

Zhang Guowei thought for a while and said, "I think the cabinet and the six ministries can take their time, but the provinces should seek the opinions of the governor's yamen. They should decide the time of announcement based on their own situation, conditions, and the relevant officials should also discuss it again, and the power of the governor's yamen cannot be completely deprived of."

Sun Chuanting looked at Zhang Guowei. This person was not recommended by Bi Ziyan, nor was he specially attracted to the people who comforted Bi Ziyan, but was named by the Qianqing Palace.

Sun Chuanting looked motionless and said, "Of course, Master Zhou is responsible for contacting the governors of various provinces. He will make arrangements without worrying."

Zhou Yingqiu spoke at this time and said, "I had already been angry with Xu Dahua, Zhang Wenda, Liao Changyong, Guo Guangxin and others. They will appoint them as the four major inspectors to inspect the whole country again. At the same time, they will send cabinet specialists to communicate with the provinces to ensure that there are no rifts between the local government and the cabinet."

No one would believe Zhou Yingqiu's words. Sun Chuanting's cabinet is so strong that he simply needs to control all aspects and adjust the government level. I am afraid that he will pass the governor's office and directly control the local area!

Zhang Guowei was isolated in the cabinet and did not persist.

Soon, the cabinet raised its hands to vote and all passed two personnel appointments. These appointments were in the scope of the cabinet's rights and did not require cabinet approval.

Sun Chuanting smiled and said, "The Cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel are preparing to formulate a new assessment system, mainly to address the local situation of promoting the 'new policy'. The accountability is relatively strict. You can take it back and take it for a look. Keep it confidential first, and we won't discuss it today."

In the new cabinet, Shubao Liyou took out sheets of paper and sent it to the people present.

Zhang Guowei just glanced at the eyes and his eyelids hopped hard.

The beginning of the article is to express its meaning. This new assessment is to assign tasks to officials from all over the country. If they fail to complete it, they will be held accountable. At the same time, the responsibility will be divided into everyone's head to eliminate any opportunity for anyone to shirk it!

If you really do this, you still don’t know how much chaos will occur at the grassroots level!

Sun Chuanting took a sip of tea, looked at Fu Changzong, and said, "The work of the parliament must be done well, especially common sense. We can follow many simple procedures for many things, so don't go to the upper and lower houses."

Things that few people can decide without the effort of people.

Fu Changzong nodded and said, "The General Secretary has a total of 36 people. If I add 37, I only need to control more than half of the people. It's not a big problem."

Sun Chuanting said 'yes' and said: "For Royal Bank, Royal Trade Corporation, the State Administration of Commerce, the State Administration of Taxation, the Foreign Affairs Bureau, etc., we must do a good job in integration and communicate well in all aspects. This is a key point of our cabinet's work in the next four years."

Fu Changzong nodded and said, "Well, I have summoned the supervisors of these departments to jointly come up with a four-year plan. The 18th day of the first lunar month will begin, and there should be a draft in the early February."

Sun Chuanting was satisfied and said, "Agriculture is our top priority. I have not yet thought of a specific strategy. The staff department is studying it, and the cabinet department will also send people to participate. Before the court starts next year, I will report to the emperor and cannot be neglected."

The rhythm of the cabinet was obviously different. King Jing and Wang Qiaonian looked at each other quietly.

Sun Chuanting is different from Bi Ziyan. Bi Ziyan seeks perfection in a big way, while Sun Chuanting seeks perfection in a traditional way, with strong planning and purpose.
