Chapter 1488: The End of Jingzheng's Seven Years


The next day, the council proceeded as usual, mainly with relevant personnel appointments.

This appointment involves too much, in addition to the more taboo imperial court, other cabinet ministers to make up for the recognition, Zongren Mansion Zongzheng's recognition, the royal business group, the demotion of the Criminal Department, the confirmation of the Ministry of Rites, the personnel changes of the cabinet departments and other relevant departments, the adjustment of local governors, rotation, and the transfer of the level of political participation and senators, as well as the Generalissimo's Office, the appointment of the deputy marshal of Cao Wenzhao, the adjustment of relevant power and responsibility institutions, the rotation of the local general army, and so on.

This is extremely complicated, and Daming's management system is still an intricate 'relationship network' in the final analysis, and you can get a big deal by contacting two or three people.

Although teachers and students, relatives and friends, and township parties are no longer so obvious, they still affect the personnel changes in the Ming Dynasty, either explicitly or implicitly.

Sun Chuanting adhered to Zhu Xu's attitude, hated the party struggle, whether it was overt or covert, and used different means to suppress it.

Of course, this is also the inevitable need for Sun Chuanting to take power, in addition to the so-called 'imperial party' that has always been recognized by the outside world, Sun Chuanting has already cracked down on other small groups, and the division is almost different.

For example, the so-called 'Bi family' left by Bi Ziyan, the leading figure Zhang Guowei no longer dared to take the lead, Xu Jie did things seriously, and Li Youtang was even put in the Shenlong Mansion in Nanzhili, which was far away from Gyeonggi.

The department is like this, not to mention the other so-called township parties, teachers and students have helped.

At the meeting, Fu Changzong read out the resumes of these people, their achievements, the reasons for their transfers, their future expectations, and so on.

Then one or a group began to vote, vote, and count the votes, which was extremely time-consuming, and the affairs of the six cabinet departments alone took a whole morning, but fortunately, there were no moths, and it was very smooth.

After a one-hour lunch break, the meeting continued, mainly on the administrative or civil affairs side, and the personnel arrangements for the departments directly under or nominally managed by the cabinet.

These arrangements often involve real power, especially the Royal Trading Group, which has a huge annual turnover and is a real 'fat shortage'.

These are all determined by Zhu Xu or Sun Chuanting and others a long time ago, it is nothing more than a formality, without strong support from behind, these parliamentarians will not be embarrassed by the imperial court, and they all passed quite smoothly.

The last is the personnel appointment of the Shuai Mansion, the current dominance of the Shuai Mansion is completely in the hands of Zhu Xu, not to mention these parliamentarians, even Sun Chuanting does not dare to touch it at will, so the arrangements related to Cao Wenzhao are almost unanimously approved, and there is no disturbance.

This is the penultimate day of the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, and with the smooth progress of the meeting, everyone is relatively relaxed and happy.

On the last day of the Parliament, in terms of institutional reform, one was the streamlining of the six cabinet departments, the planning of powers and responsibilities, the merger and separation of the powers and responsibilities of other departments, and the further sorting out of local powers and responsibilities, and the reduction and merger of departments......

Changes in the organization of the marshal's office, power relations, local battalions, general soldiers, and other powers and responsibilities, etc.

It's even more complicated here, not only in terms of the struggle for power, but also about the word 'balance', and everyone has to be careful.

In the end, Sun Chuanting planned to divide the parliament into two chambers, the upper chamber recommended by each province, and the others were supplemented by the emperor's hand-picked famous people throughout the country, totaling 150 people.

When it comes to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, government affairs, national defense, personnel, budget, official dànhé, power restrictions, and so on, the power is almost overwhelming.

The lower levels are temporarily absent, and when the parliament develops and matures, it will be planned again.

This arrangement has shocked many people, but they have not objected, after all, it is still a 'formality' at the moment, and the parliament cannot really exercise all its rights.

In the minds of many people, this is one of the means for the Qianqing Palace to check and balance the cabinet, or to check and balance the civil officials, prevent the powerful ministers, and stabilize the Zhu family.

It was late at night on this day, and Sun Chuanting also revised many places before it was completely passed.

At night, Qianqing Palace.

The kerosene lamps illuminate the East Warm Pavilion brightly, as bright as day.

Zhu Xu and Sun Chuanting sat opposite each other, and both the monarch and the minister had a relieved expression.

The passage of these three days not only shows that their control over the DPRK situation is being strengthened, but also shows that the development of the 'New Deal' has entered a new stage.

Zhu Xu sat on the soft collapse, holding the hot teacup, and said with emotion, "This year has finally passed, eight years." ” The seventh year of Jingzheng is over, and the eighth year of Jingzheng has begun, that is, the fourteenth year of Chongzhen in history.

Sun Chuanting sat opposite Zhu Xu, holding a teacup in his hand, not serious outside, his brows were deeply locked, his expression did not hide his worry, and said: "The more smoothly, the more worried the minister is, there are a lot of things to do next year, if you are not careful, you may be igniting a fire, if there is a storm again, I am afraid that it will be a skyrocketing fire, and there is nowhere to start if you want to extinguish it." ” Zhu Xu looked at his tired face, couldn't help laughing, and said: "There must be fire, and there will be no less wind, but if you want to say that there can be a storm that will down, I have never seen it, and I don't believe that there will be." ” Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the minister lost his words." ” Zhu Xu knew the pressure Sun Chuanting was facing, picked up the teapot, refilled Sun Chuanting's water, and said: "Don't worry so much, the reason why we encounter this situation is nothing more than going too fast and too urgent, this is forced by reality, and we have no choice."

Now it is different from the beginning of my ascension to the throne, after so many years, I and Bi Ge Lao have done almost the same thing, and you can't be discouraged by this last trembling. ” Of course, Sun Chuanting was not discouraged, smiled bitterly, and then restrained his expression, and said solemnly: "The minister was too optimistic before.

In the first half of the year, the minister planned to adjust the officials at the county level, mainly for the three provinces of North, Suncheon, Shandong, and Shanxi, and at the same time measure the acquired land, register and examine the population in difficulty, and in the second half of the year, the land division can begin.

Once the division of land begins, the newspapers and newspapers everywhere will carry out overwhelming propaganda, coupled with tax exemption and low taxes, and after the people's concerns disappear and rumors are broken, they will definitely stand by the court and completely isolate the gentry who oppose the 'New Deal', and then next year, things will be much better......"

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Well, these things are already a matter of course, you concentrate on doing them."

In addition, it is the matter of the Ministry of Industry, which cannot be stopped, but also intensified, taking advantage of the disaster situation, to renovate and build rivers, roads, etc., to get twice the result with half the effort.

If you miss the opportunity now, it will be difficult in the future. ” Sun Chuanting said: "The minister understands.

The '40,000 silver plan' on the side of the Royal Bank will give a large amount of blood transfusion to the imperial court, and the treasury will not be short of silver and grain in the next three years. ” Zhu Xu hugged the teacup and said: "Don't worry about this, you let it go, around June, the queen and the concubine will give birth, and I will go out of Beijing again in July and go to Chengde."

This time, Cining Palace also went, and the imperial sister-in-law was afraid of being annoyed, so I was even more annoyed, so I left the palace this time. ” Zhu Xu was naturally not afraid of being annoyed, but the recent outbreak of plague awakened some of his memories, and he remembered that near this stage, various plagues broke out in Jingshi, including plague, smallpox, etc., and I don't know how many people died.

Although the environment is very different, Zhu Xu still wants to take the people around him out just in case, plus the Empress Dowager Zhang's body also needs to recuperate, Chengde is just right.

Sun Chuanting and others all know that Zhu Xu's trip to Beijing has never been a simple summer vacation, he is also busy with various things, and at the same time, it is also to let them go.

"The minister understands, the minister will arrange everything, and the emperor can rest assured."

Sun Chuanting said calmly.
