Chapter 855: The Great Discussion


After a while, Bi Ziyan said, "Your Majesty, the minister believes that the appointment and assessment of officials, the budget and allocation of money and grain, the affairs of various ministries, and the appointment of key officials should be decided by the cabinet, and the unity of power and position can reach the upper and lower levels, otherwise it will be scattered, that is, it will not be effective in its use, and it will increase internal friction, which is not conducive to the stability of the imperial court, and the implementation of the 'new deal' ......"

Zhu Xu listened quietly, Bi Ziyan did not detour, he was very direct, and the meaning was very clear, that is, to seize power from the six ministries, and appoint key officials of the six ministries, this is to completely control the six ministries and turn the six ministries into subordinate and executive organs of the cabinet.

A strong and firm cabinet is necessary to promote government affairs, but the cabinet and the six ministries have their own powers, and they cannot be deprived of them and turn the six ministries into empty shelves, which will be counterproductive.

These Zhu Xu didn't say anything, and said quietly: "Well, go on." ” Bi Ziyan said: "The minister and the six Shangshu have talked carefully, and they all have their own ideas, the minister has already prepared a statement, and he will invite the emperor first, and then hold a cabinet meeting in a few days to ......discuss it carefully."

Zhu Xu didn't speak, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others promised to let them enter the cabinet, at this time, they should not be embarrassed by Bi Ziyan, and they will not let go of the power of the stack. “…… The minister planned to transfer Sun Chuanting, the prime minister of Liaodong, to the cabinet, and asked the emperor for permission.

Lord Sun has rich experience in court affairs and local government affairs, and his ability is also very strong, and the minister thinks that he is the most suitable to enter the cabinet.

Bi Ziyan said.

This Zhu Xu already knew about it, and he also recognized it, and nodded: "Quasi, I ordered him to go to Beijing to enter the cabinet in the next year, and to be a scholar of the East Pavilion." ” "Your Majesty."

Bi Ziyan glanced at Zhu Xu, and said: "The New Year is approaching, and everything is complicated. ” Zhu Xu said 'um', stretched out his hand to take it, and opened it to look at it.

At first glance, he frowned, Bi Ziyan's conception of the cabinet was beyond his imagination, not only taking away the personnel power of the Ministry of Officials, the financial power of the Ministry of Households, but also the tax power of the State Administration of Taxation, the coinage and issuance rights of the Royal Bank, and even the appointment of officials of the last six ministries and nine temples had to be held in his hands, almost turning all institutions except the cabinet into puppets.

There are quite detailed presuppositions for the allocation, decision-making, implementation, supervision, and review of cabinet affairs, which seem quite complicated.

At the same time, Bi Ziyan believed that the appointment and dismissal of provincial governors, governors, and prefects should also be vested in the cabinet, seeking to strengthen the imperial court's control over the localities.

Then, he also wrote a series of regulations on the acre system and peasants, hoping to establish a stricter household registration system, control the flow of population, and lock the people firmly to the ground.

He then suggested that there should be some restrictions on merchants, especially the Huitong Trading Company, which had been taken over by the cabinet, to seek a split-up to curb the impact of commerce and trade on agriculture, and even to make a 'sound plan' for customs and maritime trade.

Zhu Xu looked at it, his expression unmoving.

Such a playbook is actually impeccable in the entire Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of means are all to deal with disasters and ensure the stability of the country, and the means, methods and methods are not wrong.

The only downside is the pattern!

Now is an inflection point in the development of the whole world, if you can't go head-on, you will be left far behind, and it will stagnate or even regress, and the world outside the Ming Dynasty will change with each passing day, leapfrog development,.

Bi Ziyan saw that Zhu Xu was silent, his heart beat slightly, but he was still patient, lowered his head slightly, and did not ask.

Zhu Xu looked at this notebook again and again, there are many merits, and there are also a lot of gaps in his government affairs, but the word 'pattern' is enough to erase too much.

Even if the Europeans embarked on the Age of Discovery, it could only be regarded as an accident, the Ottomans blocked the trade routes on the road, which forced them to carry out dangerous sea expeditions, and it was too difficult for the Ming people who were the center of the world and the Celestial Empire to go to sea, let alone anticipate the great changes in the world in the future.

Zhu Xu looked up at Bi Ziyan, thinking about his words in his heart.

These adults in the court were repeatedly beaten and denied by him, and now he has to be careful to appease them, so as not to really hit their confidence.

After a while, Zhu Xu said, "The cabinet and the six ministries have their own powers, and in terms of subordination, the cabinet governs the six ministries, but it can't just take power, and hollow out the six ministries, the cabinet has the powers of the cabinet, and the six ministries have the responsibilities and powers of the six ministries......

Therefore, we must think carefully and choose carefully what rights the cabinet should have, what the six ministries and nine temples should have, and how to avoid people being superficial and pulling each other's backs......"

Bi Ziyan was stunned, and looked up at Zhu Xu with some different colors.

It's not because of Zhu Xu's words, but his tone, which is not a direct denial of the past, or a direct decision, but a tone of 'consultation'.

Zhu Xu didn't notice Bi Ziyan's expression, he was still thinking about it in his heart, and said, "Regarding the acres of land you mentioned, now Annan and Liaodong are all immigrating, and the relevant policies must be differentiated, and they cannot be covered all by one, making it difficult for the localities, not only to strengthen the control of the localities, but also to find out the local situation, and not all of them can look at the book to decide on important national affairs, especially the Governor's Yuan, we must pay attention to it, this is an important channel for us to understand the locality......"

Bi Ziyan bowed his head slightly and said, "Yes." ” Zhu Xu glanced at him and said: "Regarding the business part, you are not detailed enough, too general, I have a Ming business environment, business categories, differences between north and south, east and west, etc., we are not clear, we have not done a detailed investigation, there are no specific figures, so we can't be killed with a stick, there must be a specific plan, which ones to prohibit, which ones to fight, which ones are restrictions, which ones need to be supported, these must be understood......

Especially the sea trade, I also plan to try, the cabinet should not stop it, I will see the specific effect first......"

Bi Ziyan listened to Zhu Xu's words, and saw that there was no meaning of coercion in it, his heart was a little relieved, and he also felt reasonable, and said, "Yes." ” For Bi Ziyan, Zhu Xu already felt that he was not suitable as a secondary assistant, but the new secondary assistant still needs to be cultivated, and it will take time, so he muttered for a while, and said, "Sun Chuanting, enter Beijing as soon as possible, and the cabinet will be perfected first." ” "Yes."

Bi Ziyan said.

For Sun Chuanting, he is quite satisfied, this person is upright, both military and political, and he is a rare talent.

"How's your arrangement for the big talk?"

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and changed the topic.

Bi Ziyan sat up straight and said, "I'm still preparing, I don't know what the emperor has to say?"

” Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said: "I plan to change the form, and Zuo Cifu will convey to the governors and governors of the provinces the specific, all aspects of the imperial court's government affairs and next year's plan, which must be detailed, including all aspects, the appointment and removal of officials, and the expenditure of money and food, and the governors of the provinces and governors can ask questions, question, and then discuss the best way, in addition, I consider opening the vote of confidence, that is, they will vote on each cabinet, the six Shangshu, and if it is less than a certain percentage, it will be recalled and transferred......"

Bi Ziyan's brows suddenly frowned, wouldn't the cabinet be subject to local jurisdiction?

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, Bi Ziyan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this move will affect the prestige of the cabinet......

Zhu Xu has already considered this, but the cabinet must be restrained, and now the Supervisory Yuan is not yet mature, and such a 'countermeasure' at the local level is also conducive to their subjective initiative, rather than relying on the court for everything, and people are passive in things.

Zhu Xu said, "The cabinet can discuss specific ways and means, but the opinions of the local government must be given the opportunity to fully express themselves, and it is unreliable to rely entirely on the ......."

Bi Ziyan realized, thought for a while, and said: "Yes, after the minister goes back, he will discuss a specific method according to the emperor's wishes, and then present it to the emperor." ” Zhu Xu bowed slightly, and then said, "Since Sun Chuanting has decided to enter Beijing, don't delay other things, Zhou Yingqiu, Fu Changzong, and the six Shangshu, your cabinet must come up with arrangements as soon as possible, and there is no need to delay the New Year, and the people will be ...... good morning."

Zhu Xu also discussed the arrangements of these people with Bi Ziyan, and when he heard this, Bi Ziyan said: "Yes, after the minister goes back, he will call the cabinet, and the six Shangshu will discuss and decide as soon as possible. ” Zhu Xu stood up, nodded with a wave of his hand, and said, "Well, I will enter the pavilion tomorrow, get ready, and send it over to me to seal it." ” "Yes."

Bi Ziyan got up and quietly glanced at Zhu Xu again.

Although he was unable to get the emperor to fully agree with his recital, he found that the emperor's attitude seemed to have changed, and he did not want to continue to suppress the cabinet.

Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan's back, pinched his chin and thought about it, and Er laughed, Although Bi Ziyan is not the kind of capable and courageous pioneer minister he wants, he can be indomitable and hard-working, which is also commendable.

"Bad guys!"

The little girl buried herself in writing and muttered in a low voice.

The room was very quiet, Zhu Xu heard it immediately, frowned, and said, "Copy it three more times, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat!"

” The little girl's eyes widened suddenly, and she said angrily, "Uncle Huang, you bully people!"

” Zhu Xu ignored her, looked at Cao Huachun and said, "What's the situation over there in the military department?"

” Seeing that Zhu Xu ignored him, the little girl said angrily: "I want to find the queen mother to comment!"

” Cao Huachun was already accustomed to the bickering between his uncle and nephew, so he stepped forward and said, "Lord Lu has taken over the patrol battalion, and there seems to be some voices on the side of the military department, but he was suppressed by Sun Ge Lao, and he doesn't have a complete idea of military reform for the time being." ” Zhu Xu sighed, looked at him and smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that I don't have a complete idea, but I'm worried that I will reject it again, and I'm trying to figure out how to admonish me, right?"

” Cao Huachun bowed slightly and did not speak.

Sun Chengzong quietly communicated with many military people, hoping to unite to persuade the emperor and prevent the unification of military power.

Naturally, these could not be hidden from the emperor, and some of the scripts had even entered the celebrant supervisor.

Zhu Xu actually understands Sun Chengzong's thoughts very well, but the integration of military power is the general trend of history, and the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is not suitable for continuing the decentralization of military power. _ Dictatorial Da Ming Qun: 177745561.
