At first, the cabinet members were only 'staff' of the emperor and had no power.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are both very diligent and have enough ability to control the government.
But the descendants are different, the emperors began to be lazy, and the government became more and more complicated, these scholars gradually grasped power and influenced the court situation, but in the Ming political system, they were still the role of 'staff', and there was no real 'status'.
Strictly speaking, they are not as good as the celebrants, at least the right of the celebrants to 'approve red' was granted by the emperor and has a 'reputation'.
The cabinet really controls the world's government affairs, which can be said to have started with Zhang Juzheng.
Shenzong is young, the queen mother supports him, he has power over the six ministries, no one can compete, and all government affairs are out of the cabinet.
Since then, the power of the cabinet has been expanded indefinitely, and all appointments and edicts of the emperor require the consent of the cabinet, even if the emperor forcibly appoints them, the cabinet has the power and ability to make him 'unable to take office'.
During the Wanli period, the 'national capital dispute', which lasted for more than ten years, although it was a confrontation between the civil official line and Emperor Shenzong, the importance of the cabinet in it is self-evident.
For more than ten years, three people were replaced, and the heads of more than a dozen hall officials were chopped, and in the end, King Fu still went out of Beijing to become a vassal in the past, and from beginning to end, the cabinet never gave in, and Shenzong had no choice but to do it.
At the beginning of Chongzhen, Zhu Xu used various means to empty the cabinet and abandon it, because he was worried that the cabinet would affect him to gather power.
After more than five years of reform and reshaping, Zhu Xu now needs the integrity of the situation and the in-depth reform with strong political force, so the reinstatement of the cabinet is inevitable.
Bi Ziyan could feel the courtiers' bodies tense instantly, he paused, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "The Son of Heaven is diligent and self-denying, and everything must be done personally. ” This is the reason, the ministers don't care, the key is later.
Bi Ziyan held the notebook in his hand, and said silently for a while: "The cabinet has seven scholars, the first assistant, the second assistant and the auxiliary ministers.
The six ministries and nine temples, as well as other bureaus, supervisors and other yamen, are all under the jurisdiction of the cabinet, and the government affairs of the world need to be out of the cabinet......"
Bi Ziyan's words represent the formal establishment of the cabinet by the Ming Dynasty, and determine its composition, power and authority.
Bi Ziyan was about to open his mouth, but suddenly, Zhang Wenda came out of the ranks, raised his hand and said, "May I ask Lord Bi, who is the first assistant of the cabinet?"
” As soon as Zhang Wenda said this, the courtiers who had been unusually quiet all moved, their eyes flickered, and they looked at each other.
There is no accident, the cabinet will have an overview of the world's affairs after today, and the position of the first assistant of the cabinet is very important, and most importantly, it involves King Xin, who is the prince of the clan.
The clan had already made up their minds, and Bi Ziyan glanced at him, his tone was indifferent, and he said quietly with a warning: "Believe in the king." ” "The lower officials are against it!"
Zhang Wenda's expression was rigid, his tone was resolute, and at the same time he raised his hand to Zhu Xu and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the clan should not enter the cabinet, let alone be the first assistant, please discuss this article again." ” Bi Ziyan's expression was calm, and he did not panic, he was not convinced of all these courtiers.
For example, Zhang Wenda.
This person is extremely resolute on many issues, including a series of issues such as the clan, the cabinet, and relatives.
Zhang Wenda is an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and has served as the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, and the official department is still the secretary, and his prestige is extremely high, and many people respect him very much.
But after all, it is only a small part, it can't affect the overall situation, and the time is pressing, so Bi Ziyan will let Zhang Wenda stick to his own opinions.
The clan is now in the court, and there are only three conspicuous ones, Zongren Mansion Zongzheng, and King Ping.
The Governor of the Governor's Yuan, King Jing, and the first assistant of the cabinet, King Xin.
Now that King Xin is 'detained', it is still a 'secret' in the government and the opposition, and the Zongren Mansion is to manage the clan, and it is not counted as entering the court, so the problem is actually focused on King Jing, who is still in the court.
For the clan, Zhu Xu had some calculations in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and he turned to the others: "What do other people think?"
” "The minister thinks that Lord Zhang's words are inconsistent," He.
Zhao Han, the governor of the south, came out of the ranks and objected loudly: "Your Majesty, the position of the first assistant needs to be cautious, the party has not been appeased, and there are countless people who fight for power and profit, if the first assistant is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that the court will be restless and will hinder the ......national politics."
The minister did not agree with Lord Zhao's words, "Mountain.
Ma Shilong, the governor of the west, came out and said loudly: "The emperor is wise and martial, the courtiers are loyal to the country, even if the cabinet is reinstated, the ministers do not think that people will dare to make waves again, hindering the country's politics, just strictly rectify it, be vigilant, and there is absolutely no chance of a resurgence of party disputes!"
” Mountain.
Yan Mingtai, the governor of the east, came out and said, "Your Majesty, the instability of the clan is a matter of concern to the world, if all the princes of the clan can enter the office, I am afraid that the world will be disturbed." ” "Playing the Emperor," IV.
Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, came out and said: "The clan has a large population, and if there is only the imperial court to support it, it is really a big burden. ” In the blink of an eye, there was a lot of discussion, and in general, a small number of people wanted to keep the clan back and not give them a chance to come out.
Another group of people advocated that they could go out of office, but they should be strictly controlled, not any official position, and they could go to any position.
Zhu Xu's face was expressionless, and his eyes were deep.
Clan, this is a very troublesome question.
The so-called primogeniture system and the so-called 'sub-fiefdom' are all aimed at curbing the struggle between the heirs and ensuring the excessive order and stability of the throne.
The Ming Dynasty's control over the clan was particularly strong, after all, Emperor Taizong's throne was very improper.
Zhu Xu has the intention to open an opening for the clan, but after all, the clan has a special identity, and no matter what he does, it will have a huge impact, and it is normal for the courtiers to have scruples.
However, the focus now is on the cabinet chief, and the one hiding behind it is King Shin, the clan.
The scene gradually loosened a little, and the courtiers, who were originally cautious, quarreled one after another, and they all wanted to convince each other.
Although it is not as unbearable as the Apocalypse Dynasty, Zhu Xu is really disturbed to watch.
Syllable!

Zhu Xu slapped the table and said coldly: "Do I want to make room for you to make a noise!"
” The group immediately raised their hands and bowed, and said no more.
Zhu Xu's eyes swept over a group of people coldly, looked at Zhu Changrun, the king of Ping, in front of him, and said lightly, "King Ping, what do you think?"
” King Ping has always avoided government affairs, and at this time he didn't dare to speak, raised his hand, and said with a covered face, "The minister has no opinion." ” Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, turned to King Jing, and said, "King Jing, what do you think?"
” King Jing is an ambitious person, so he naturally doesn't want the clan to be bound, he said: "Back to the emperor, the clan is the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they should have the right to make due contributions to the Ming Society, and the ministers do not approve of raising the clan like pigs and sheep." ” Although King Jing's words are true, they can be said so bluntly, in this Jinluan Palace, it is particularly harsh.
After all, the identity of the clan is unusually noble, and it is too humiliating to use the word 'captivity'.
Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, looked at Sun Chengzong, and said; "Elder Sun Ge, you say."
Zhu Xu, Sun Chengzong and others have discussed this matter several times, and their opinions tend to be the same, all of them hope to give the clan a mouth, not to be pigs, but to let them be self-reliant.
But the court discussed the change, and could not follow the previously drafted script, Sun Chengzong came out of the ranks, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that the clan should be demoted, as long as the title is low enough, you can enter the office, and the minister please not be crowned king in the future." ” King Ping and King Jing both looked slightly changed, and Sun Chengzong's proposal was not trivial!
The courtiers immediately talked about it, and just as someone was about to stand up and speak, Zhu Xu slapped the table and reprimanded: "Enough!"
The rules of the clan have passed, and now the discussion is about the first assistant of the cabinet, don't digress!
” The ministers were stunned, and they were all a little unsatisfied.
The cabinet involves King Shin, and King Shin is the clan!
King Xin was imprisoned, and Sun Chengzong never asked Zhu Xu what his mind was, so this question was difficult to answer, he was a little silent, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the cabinet's functions and powers should be limited. ” Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, this sound interesting, and said, "Go on." ” Sun Chengzong came up with it in a hurry, and said quickly in his mind: "Your Majesty, the cabinet, the six ministries and nine temples and other functions and powers overlap, when there is a distinction, the cabinet should not be in charge of the world's government affairs, the minister thinks that it needs to be discussed again to make a distinction." ” Zhu Xu's right hand couldn't help but tap lightly on the tabletop, and Sun Chengzong's sudden statement made him think in his heart.
Bi Ziyan's brows furrowed, and Sun Chengzong's sudden statement also enlightened him.
"The minister is against!"
Zhang Wenda's face was rigid, his eyes were firm, he stood up again, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the snake has no head and does not leave, everything is always decided, and the cabinet needs to take responsibility!"
” "The minister thinks that what Sun Ge said is reasonable!"
Expensive.
Wang Sanshan, the governor of the state, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet should be coordinated, and everything should not be detailed. ” The minister agreed with Sun Ge Lao's words, "Mountain.
Zhang Ruitu, the governor of the West, stepped forward and said: "The cabinet should have a detailed charter, and it cannot be decided in one word. ” "The minister seconded the proposal."
Zhou Weijing came out of the queue.
"The minister is against!"
It was Zhe who spoke.
Jiang Governor Wang Yongguang.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
The other ministers, who had not spoken all this time, could vaguely see that it was clearly the 'imperial party' encircling and suppressing the 'opposition,' although there were only three or five people in the 'opposition'.
Zhu Xu watched coldly, looked at this matter thoroughly, and waited for a group of people to seconded the opposition to the end, and said in a firm and undeniable tone: "Message: The first and second assistants of the cabinet are suspended, and two left and right auxiliary ministers are set up, and four other auxiliary ministers are set up, and the prime minister is in power!"
About the king of letters, let's talk about it again.
Next!
” All the ministers were shocked, especially Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others, which was far from what they had discussed at the beginning.
Zhang Wenda frowned, this was not what he wanted.
Looking up at the emperor above, he opened his mouth, hesitated and did not fight again.
Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that the argument would cause the emperor to be dissatisfied, and there would be unexpected "accidents".
In addition, they are all uneasy in their hearts, the cabinet has changed beyond recognition, can the rest of the work be carried out as expected?
