Chapter 144

Fang Fengshi and Pan Sheng both looked at Zhang Juzheng.

Both of them are Zhang Juzheng's confidantes, so naturally only Zhang Juzheng obeys.

And Zhang Juzheng originally supported the emperor's miscellaneous use of domineering to stabilize the country, so he cupped his hands first: "Qizou Your Majesty, I think this is reasonable. The suzerain country naturally has the right to question the vassal state, just like a father asking a son. Teach them with a stick, but also hope that they will become a tool."

"What a father asking his son!"

"Sir is absolutely right!"

Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded, and then said: "That's the way to draw up the decree! Teach Zibangza with a stick!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhang Juzheng replied at this time.

But then, in the morning of the next day, Zhang Juzheng said to Zhu Yijun in the west room of the Wenhua Palace because of the military aircraft discussion yesterday:

"Qi Zou Your Majesty, the Privy Council is now in charge of drafting military air tickets, so it is not appropriate for the cabinet to draft a decree for the military plane, and it is easy to leak the military plane;"

"The old minister asks your Majesty to simply set up the imperial edict room in another official office, and select those who are excellent in Hanlin poetry and chapters, and be responsible for accepting orders and drafting edicts in front of the imperial court."

"It is no longer necessary for the cabinet to draw up orders for holy orders. The cabinet only votes for non-military affairs, and it is sufficient to arrange six ministries to carry out the orders under the imperial order."

After Zhu Yijun heard this, he nodded: "Then set up a royal minister in the west side of the Qianqing Palace, and the royal minister will be responsible for drafting the decree. Sir, the senior scholar of the Zhongji Temple will still be the chief minister of the royal minister, and he will be in charge of the royal minister. In the future, the cabinet will Both the capital and the assistant are the foreman and servants;"

"The privy envoy and the magistrate serve the imperial secretary and participate in the general affairs;"

"Appoint a Hanlin attendant or attendant to serve as the minister of imperial edict, who is responsible for drafting the imperial edict. After the imperial edict is submitted to the master and the privy envoy for approval, it will be submitted to the ceremonial supervisor for approval, and then handed over by the clerk. Served by the Royal Secretary, and issued to the Cabinet or the Privy Council."

"In addition, select a number of Hanlin Jinshi and Wu Xun's children to serve in the imperial court, and serve as Zhongshu Sheren to observe and practice politics and prepare for consultation. In this way, in the future, both civil and martial arts can be followed by virtuous officials and generals, so as to become emperors."

Zhang Juzheng bowed his hands and said yes.

By doing this, Zhu Yijun concentrated the power on himself, but did not weaken the authority of the first assistant too much. Although the first assistant can no longer vote on matters related to military aircraft, he can still participate in military affairs as the chief minister in the Shi Yusi. It is convenient for the future when the chief minister wants to reform the system for the emperor, and he can continue to reform. If the emperor is weak and wants to reform, he can still rely on the chief minister to realize the reform.

It's just because the first assistant only has the right to consult, so once the emperor is strong and doesn't listen to the first assistant, he is still capable of making decisions.

"Another political affairs hall is set up in the study room on the west side of the Qianqing Palace, which is equivalent to two government offices and one team. The political affairs hall is specially used as a place for me to sit and discuss politics with ministers and ministers."

"Ministers and ministers always sit on chairs in front of the emperor, while scholars and scholars stand, and the chief assistant and the privy envoy sit on the left and right of my two chiefs, and lay cushions to show sympathy for the chief minister in power."

Zhu Yijun didn't want to make government decisions through court discussions.

Because the court meeting requires the censor, the six department officials, the officials of various ministries, and even the Guozijian Jijiu, Dali Temple Zhengqing and other officials to attend and decide on government affairs.

As a result, the decision-making is easy to leak, not to mention, it is easy to cause the national policy to be unable to be formulated for a long time, and even because there are too many people in the court, there are always differences, so that many policies are finally settled.

Not to mention other things, let’s talk about leaking secrets so quickly. In many wars against Jin in the late Ming Dynasty, the military plan had just been agreed on by the court, and people like Nurhachi knew the plan, which eventually led to the failure of the battle.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun will no longer attribute decision-making to everyone, but set up a government affairs hall, allowing only a few important ministers to discuss policies with the emperor, reducing the possibility of leaks and improving governance efficiency.

Zhang Juzheng had no objection, and he also knew the drawbacks of the court proposal, so he continued to say that he obeyed the order.

So far, Zhu Yijun's Wanli Dynasty has carried out a major restructuring of the center.

The appearance of the imperial servant is beneficial for him to control the court directly by controlling several central officials in the future.

And in October of the seventh year of Wanli, two months after Zhu Yijun decided to ask Li Chengliang to question North Korea and restructure the central organization.

Liaodong, Tieling Wei Qingyang Fort.

The snow had just stopped, the sky was blue and the ground was white, and the sun was shining brightly.

And Zhang Guozhong, the general banner, was wearing a brand new indigo cloth face armor at this time, carrying a three-eyed gun on his shoulder in his right hand, and leading a camel full of supplies in his left hand, towards the ordinary guards in front of him. The house where the soldiers lived came.

At this moment, Zhang Guozhong squatted on the edge of the kang in the house trembling in a ragged cotton jacket, looked out the window, and yelled at the middle-aged man who was grinning: "Brother Zhong, bring the brothers out." Get food, fat jackets, cotton shoes, and armaments!"

The man named Zhong Changdong hurriedly responded after hearing this, and soon came out with ten ragged men to help Zhang Guozhong unload the fat jacket, cotton shoes, military equipment and food from the camel, but when unloading, he was shaking. The snow fell one after another, and after a while, Zhang Guozhong's new cotton shoes were dyed white.

Zhang Guozhong was shaking his feet to get rid of the snow, when Zhong Laosan said: "Guozhong, I didn't expect so much food to be distributed from the top, and the fat jacket is much thicker than in previous years. Mr. Li is so kind to us! "

"It's not Mr. Li's favor, it's the emperor's favor, don't make a mistake!"

"Be careful to let the inspector hear it, and sue him again!"

"The boss will also be upset. People think that he will not let the Liaodong military households know that it is the same as tomorrow. If you become an official, if you say this and the boss hears, he will have someone beat you carefully."

Zhang Guozhong hurriedly reminded.

"Hey! I remember, it's the emperor's kindness."

Zhong Changdong responded, and started talking, and then said: "I don't dare to think about being an official. Now that I come back, I can live a life. It's not human to live in exile."

Zhang Guozhong said: "If you hadn't run away and stayed in Tieling Guard, maybe you would be the chief banner officer like me now, maybe Brother Yi Zhong would be better than me. After all, you taught me how to ride horses."

"Who would have thought that the life of the military households would be easier!"

Zhong Changdong sighed, and said: "It used to be that poor women couldn't get married, and they didn't finish their meal. They didn't have the strength to kill Tartars, and they didn't have a decent knife or saddle. I also thought that it would be better to go to Liaoyang to raise horses for big families than to be a military household."

"As long as we can live on at that time, not to mention whether there are women, as long as we don't go hungry and have the strength to protect my mother and one-acre land when the Tartars come, no one wants to leave this native land."

"I heard from them that the emperor got married not long ago. He is just a young man, and he will have a good life in the future. Take your time, my brother will still be an official sooner or later."

Zhang Guozhong comforted Zhong Changdong, and said, "However, if you had come back three months earlier, you would have been able to catch up with Mr. Li to fight against the barbarian [-] cavalry, and you would have made great achievements long ago; , maybe you can get a piece of python jade, the emperor has an edict, whoever gets the python jade will be treated as a scholar of the state, and you don't have to kneel down to see the elders of Fuyuan."

Zhong Changdong just grinned.

After the military uniforms, weapons and food were unloaded, Zhang Guozhong took out the roster and said, "Let's start to receive our respective pay and fat jackets and cotton shoes. Take off all the old jackets and boil them in boiling water. This is what the higher-ups require." , said to kill invisible bugs."

Because Liaodong’s commerce is underdeveloped, and the distribution of military households is relatively scattered, it is not convenient for ordinary military households to buy grain directly.

It’s just that sometimes the money will be issued directly, mainly to see if there are any grain merchants to transport grain.

It didn't take long for Zhong Changdong and others to put on new fat jackets and cotton shoes, and also got new armaments.

At this time, the general manager Ma Shilong came with a group of Mongolian girls whose wrists were tied, and said to Zhang Guozhong:

"This is distributed by the master. Let the newly returned military households live. They will be divided by lottery. Regardless of beauty or ugliness, it depends on God's arrangement!"

"After the preparation is completed, enter the booklet, and then wait for the spring of next year to receive the newly arrived crops to reclaim wasteland and sow seeds."

"Yes!"

Zhang Guozhong clapped his hands in response.

Zhong Changdong couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and began to look at the Mongolian girl who was escorted over.

It's just that these girls are all unkempt and disheveled, so they can't see clearly.

But Zhong Changdong still couldn't help laughing and muttering: "In the past, barbarians robbed our women, but now we rob them."

Da da!

"The boss has an order! Each castle takes half of the money and goes to the capital to gather!"

At this time, Li Chengliang's family came carrying the snow with the order flag.

Seeing this, Ma Shilong hurriedly asked the servant: "Li Ruzhu (Nurhachi), is there another big fight coming?!"

Li Ruxi hurriedly got off his horse and knelt in front of Ma Shilong, saying, "Return to the general, the general said that according to the order, a large army will be gathered to question North Korea, and the whole army will celebrate the New Year in Seoul this year!"

　The Liaodong Frontier Army of the Ming Dynasty is going to celebrate the New Year in Seoul. I don’t know where you are celebrating the New Year?Anyway, Happy New Years everyone!I updated the two chapters that I worked overtime last week and saved together, and the author also went to New Year's Eve, so let me take half a day off.
