Zhu Xu had just returned to the imperial study, and before he had a sip of tea, Bi Ziyan arrived.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a few ideas, and I want to ask the emperor to take a look."
Bi Ziyan held the song in his hand.
Zhu Xu hurriedly waved his hand to signal Liu Shimin to take it, and at the same time said, "Move another chair for Master Bi." ” Bi Ziyan hurriedly thanked him and slowly sat down on the chair.
Zhu Xu took the notebook, there were three in total, he opened it and looked at it slowly.
The first book is about several personnel appointments, that is, Zhang Bingwen, Lu Xiangsheng and others, Zhu Xu thought about it, and didn't speak.
In the second book, Bi Ziyan hopes that the cabinet can supervise the appointment, evaluation, and promotion of officials, and also has the right to verify and change the money and grain in and out of the household department, and the amount of money.
In the third book, Bi Ziyan plans to sort out all aspects of the finances next year, and in the case of no open source, to throttle expenditure, plug the deficit of the treasury, so that the imperial court has spare strength to deal with other emergencies.
After reading it, Zhu Xu picked up the teacup with a thoughtful face.
These three scripts were obviously written very early, and the handwriting had long since dried.
The three recitals were written after careful consideration.
If outsiders see it, they will indeed think that this is an extremely reasonable policy for the old man to seek the country.
However, Zhu Xu needs to think about it, he is planning to make large-scale adjustments to the situation in the DPRK, and Bi Ziyan's plans are disrupting his plan, but before the plan is completed, Zhu Xu can't say too much to Bi Ziyan - he will definitely oppose it!
Zhu Xu pondered for a long time, but decided to reveal one or two things to Bi Ziyan, otherwise there would be another mess, his fingers knocked on the table, and he said, "Master Bi, I plan to adjust the court situation, this time it will be bigger, the main purpose is to centralize power, weaken the six ministries, and strengthen the power of the cabinet."
A strong cabinet will give a big boost to the pace of the New Deal. ” Bi Ziyan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly got up and said, "Is the emperor's words true?"
” It's not that he's reckless, it's that he's been worried before he came, that the emperor will think his hands are too long and stick them in his territory.
Zhu Xu didn't care, and thought about it, "Since I said it, I'll tell you what I think in my heart." ” Bi Ziyan was still shocked in his heart, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ” Zhu Xu's fingers tapped slowly, and said: "The six Shangshu, I plan to transfer them all slowly, this is the reason why they don't enter the cabinet, otherwise there is no point in changing or not, so don't move in terms of personnel first, and I will think about it again."
When the time comes, I will consult with Master Bi.
As for the treasury, I also plan to throttle, the project has been going on for several years, so I have to stop for a while, plan well, and digest it.
Immigration can't stop, but as long as the Liaodong side is properly controlled, it should be self-sufficient.
Annan is now an early investment, which cannot be less and cannot be saved.
There is also a piece of the army, and now there are four borders, except for Shaanxi.
West, Gan.
Outside the two towns, there is basically nothing to do.
The local governor's palace has been almost built, and with them, ordinary civil unrest will not become a climate.
So before that, I had ordered the Ministry of War to study disarmament.
The current army of my Ming Dynasty is nearly four million in size, and the current situation is not suitable for raising so many ......."
Bi Ziyan listened to Zhu Xu's words, his heart was surging and he was extremely ashamed of his worries before he came.
'Yes, the emperor in front of him is wise and martial, how can he have such a narrow-minded heart?
I thought everything was accessible, but I didn't want to be confused in front of me......
Bi Ziyan blamed himself in his heart, bowed there, and didn't dare to act rashly at all.
Zhu Xu said a lot, but there are still a lot of things hidden, which can only be done first and then said.
After Zhu Xu finished speaking, Bi Ziyan knew that the emperor had already thought deeply about the court situation, and he felt more and more guilty in his heart, and raised his hand and said, "The minister is ashamed." ” Zhu Xu was stunned, he didn't know where he came from, waved his hand, and said: "By the way, this year's court meeting will be held, divided into two batches, the first wave is the military meeting, well, this I will find Sun Ge Lao to talk about it."
The government council is still the same, the governor of each province, the governor, and the governor's office, a total of three people, you set the time and send someone to know the same.
The purpose of this meeting was twofold, the first was to report on the progress of the 'New Deal' to the provinces, and the second was to formulate a plan for the imperial court.
I have set such a meeting every three years, and I plan it for three years, and the whole country will work together to ......"
Bi Ziyan's eyes lit up when he listened, and he said, "The emperor's intention is good, and the minister agrees." ” Zhu Xu glanced at Bi Ziyan, hesitated in his heart, and said: "At such a meeting, I plan to let these people have an anonymous vote of confidence in the cabinet and the ministers of the six ministries, and there is no other meaning, I just want to see what these feudal officials really think of the ministers of the imperial court." ” If Zhu Xu didn't have that sentence 'and no other meaning', Bi Ziyan might believe that he had been with Zhu Xu for a long time, and obviously noticed that he had something to say and hidden other intentions, but this was indeed an intuitive examination of the ability of the ministers of the court, and he raised his hand and said: "The ministers have no objections." ” Zhu Xu nodded, and simply said about the prime ministers of the six provinces, but he didn't say who he would.
Bi Ziyan also agrees with this.
The six western provinces are indeed a big trouble, and they can't always wait for the will of the imperial court, and it is best for trusted people to deal with it there, and they can probably guess the selection of Bi Ziyan, which is nothing more than those few people.
Seeing this, Bi Ziyan did not hide it, and told his plan one by one.
Bi Ziyan's plan is generally very simple, he wants to further sort out the relationship between government affairs, and in the process of sorting out, promote the 'new deal' and reform the old evils.
To sum up, it is very simple, but it involves a complex operation of power, and it cannot be done without enough power and Zhu Xu's support.
Zhu Xu listened and nodded continuously, this is not in conflict with his 'New Deal', or it is for the 'New Deal'.
While listening, he looked at Bi Ziyan, no matter what this old gentleman says, he has enthusiasm and ability, he can be trusted and entrusted with great responsibilities.
For two hours, it was almost dark, and Bi Ziyan left the imperial study with satisfaction.

He got Zhu Xu's support here, and he roughly understood his thoughts, and the scruples and burdens that he had in his heart had long since disappeared.
Bi Ziyan walked out of the inner court, stood still in front of the door of the meeting to the cabinet, looked up at the sky, and there was a burning light in his eyes!
'Shouldering the world is not for yourself, the holy king is in the hall to calm the people!
’ The surging fire that has been suppressed in Bi Ziyan's heart for a long time is burning, and he wants to take the world as his own responsibility, and prosper the Ming Dynasty!
Zheng Youyuan happened to come out of the cabinet, looked at Bi Ziyan's expression, his eyes changed slightly, and he hurriedly came over and said in a low voice, "My lord, but the emperor is embarrassed with you?"
” Bi Ziyan restrained his mood, forcibly suppressed his excitement, and said: "No, tomorrow I will convene the six Shangshu to come, and the official will determine the cabinet and the power of the six departments!"
” Zheng Youyuan was shocked again, these have long been customized, and the world has been announced at the court meeting a year ago, but the actual situation is another matter, the six Shangshu have the support of the emperor, and they hold the six ministries, and the cabinet actually has no power.
Bi Ziyan is now going to 'sort out' again, which is clearly to 'grab power'!
To rob the power of the six ministries is to rob the power of the emperor!
Zheng Youyuan hurriedly stopped Bi Ziyan, who was about to leave, and said in a loud voice: "Be cautious!
It's not trivial to move the sixth, this matter must not be touched, and the emperor will do it if you want to do it!
” Bi Ziyan pushed his hand away and said with a smile, "This official is not trying to seize power, but just to make some preparations for the emperor in advance." ” Zheng Youyuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he said, "My lord, what do you mean......
The emperor allows you to meddle in the six ministries?
” If so, it is equivalent to the emperor ceding power to the cabinet and cutting his own power!
How is this possible!
With the character of the current emperor, it is impossible to give up power, let alone allow a powerful cabinet to restrain him!
But Bi Ziyan had already strode away, without explaining to him, and strode towards the cabinet, he had a lot of things to do, a lot of plans to do!
A lot of things have to be reversed and replanned!
Knowing Zhu Xu's intentions and with the emperor's support, Bi Ziyan can rest assured and bold and do more things!
Zhu Xu sent Bi Ziyan away, changed a cup of hot tea, sat on a chair, and quietly looked out the door.
Now is the time for him to start reforms, starting with the cabinet, the six ministries, and he wants to further centralize power!
Zhu Xu took a few sips of tea to calm himself down, and after a while, he said, "When will Xiong Wencan arrive in Beijing?"
” Liu Shimin turned sideways and said, "Lord Xiong has already been on the road, and he should arrive in Beijing in the next two days." ” Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and said, "Inform Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Mao Wenlong, and as soon as Xiong Wencan arrives, come to see me immediately." ” The foundation of the centralization of government affairs is absolute military power, and he must further rein in the control of the army!
