Emperor Ming Dynasty

Although Zhu Yixi did not appoint a prince on the surface, in fact, he had already made Zhu Cunqu, the third son of the emperor, as the prince.

Not to mention the inheritance of the eldest son, it's just one thing. He doesn't have high requirements for the successor, he only needs Xiao Guicao to follow.

However, due to the young age of the princes, the chance of premature death is too high.

In fact, as long as they are over twelve years old, the children have already got rid of the risk of premature death, and it is just right to establish a prince at that time.

The inner court is undercurrents, but the outer court is as stable as Mount Tai.

Without him, the cabinet suppresses civil servants.

And the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which has always been jumping, can only remain silent because of the change of the rules.

After being the emperor for so many years, Zhu Yixi understood it.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, or the previous censors, are not so-called official cleaners at all, but the vanguard of political struggles.

The so-called anti-corruption is nothing more than an errand for both parties.

Rumors play a role, impeach if there is nothing to do, and you will not be convicted anyway, so it will naturally be used by people with intentions to eradicate political opponents.

Therefore, for this group of people, Zhu Yixi made the best use of everything, requiring the left and right censors, and the left and right censors to be appointed and dismissed by the emperor himself. The cabinet and the six departments have no personnel power.

In addition, the biggest move is to merge the six divisions into the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so that the divisions and disciplines merge, and the two types of officials with the same responsibilities and different systems are completely integrated into one.

All six parts were promoted from the seventh rank to the fifth rank.

Of course, it sounds good in name, it is to put an end to interference, clear away the embers, and sweep away the wind of party struggle in the previous dynasty.

In this way, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, like Jin Yiwei, has completely become the emperor's henchman, monitoring all officials.

However, Zhu Yixi also knew that remonstrance was very important to the emperor in a certain sense, and he could only listen to good words if he could not learn from the Qing Dynasty.

But at the same time, it cannot be abused like the previous dynasty, and it is an unhealthy trend to be proud of being beaten by the emperor.

In view of this, the emperor redistributed the duties:
The left and right censors, Qian censors, and the six palm seals were given to Shizhong, who were responsible for admonishing the emperor, and the rest were given to Shizhong and Yushi, who could only impeach officials.

In such an orderly manner, the emperor would avoid being impeached every day, troubled by the officials, and remonstrated by special personnel, with reasonable and well-founded remonstrance.

After all, the young speech officials are just like angry youths, so let's harass the officials!

Jin Yiwei is in the dark, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is in the light.

Naturally, the control of the imperial court has been improved to a higher level.

"What do you think about the division of land in Liaodong?"

After receiving the joint letter from Chen Yongfu and others, the emperor called the four members of the cabinet to discuss it.

Thoughtfully, he put together the memorials in his hands, and the emperor sent them to the four ministers for review.

This memorandum is not sent by the Secretary of General Administration, but the secret box, that is, the secret melody invented by the Qing Dynasty.

The advantage of this is obvious, the emperor can learn about the place and the officialdom through another channel, and control power.

However, in the Yongzheng period, the number of people in the secret collection expanded from more than 1000 to more than [-], which became the origin of Yongzheng's Qinzheng hematemesis.

In fact, the memorials that really involved major national affairs had long been screened by the Secretary of the General Administration, and after the cabinet votes were drafted, the emperor could review them within an hour or two at most.

In fact, he was just working overtime for his own power.

"Wei Chen feels that what Chen Guogong said is quite reasonable."

Lu Daqi had the least seniority and could only speak first: "Unsurprisingly, Liaodong will not live in peace for several years. The army's mind must be taken care of, and it is appropriate to allocate land to them."

"Eastern Liaodong has a vast territory and a lot of land, so it doesn't matter if you divide it up." Yan Chongxin rarely echoed:
"The population in the interior is increasing, and the land is also tense. The distribution in Liaodong is perfect."

Zhang Shenyan pointed out sharply: "Jingying doesn't mean that. Their families are all near the capital, and they settled down in Shuntian Mansion. How could they move to Liaodong?"

"They want to divide the fields in Shuntian Prefecture?"

Yan Chongxin was startled, and quickly shook his head: "It's impossible, the wasteland in Shuntian Mansion has been bought up by nobles and officials, so where is the extra land?"

"Since they want a place, move there."

Chief Assistant Zhao Shu said decisively, he cupped his hands, his eyes were bright and bright: "We want to divide the land, but also want to be in the capital, how can such delusions be satisfied?"

"The four towns in the north of the Yangtze River, the feudal towns of the late Tang Dynasty, Yin Jian is not far away."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people in the cabinet changed drastically.

It's scary to think about it happening again.

"It's not that exaggerated."

The emperor waved his hand, feeling a little helpless at the fuss of the civil servants.

It's like having paranoia, always being vigilant and suppressing the warriors, this has become an instinct.

People are just unbalanced in their hearts, and the instinct of human nature is at work.

Furthermore, the armies of the three routes basically fought hand-to-hand, and more than [-] people were killed or injured.

In the past two years, the Beijing camp has dispatched many troops, including [-] troops from North Korea, [-] from Liaoxi, and [-] from Liaohekou, making a total of [-] troops.

There are only [-] Beijing camps left to protect Beijing.

Besides, he still has confidence in the control of the Beijing camp.

"Since they want a field, let them."

The emperor said in a low voice for a moment, "Military fields cannot be bought or sold, so we will allow them to be exchanged."

"One mu in Gyeonggi is converted into five mu in Liaodong. This is the preferential treatment I give them. After all, there are more casualties this time."

"As long as Liaodong responds to the old people, we have to add some of our Beijing camp children."

This treatment surprised the cabinet.

Good guy, if you have a hundred acres of land, you will directly have five hundred acres of land in Liaodong, and you will become a big landlord.

There was some eye contact, and the cabinet agreed.

The newly harvested land is facing foreign enemies and is full of dangers, so a cheaper land price is acceptable.

"Also, watch this."

In the twinkling of an eye, another secret was presented.

This is Wu Sangui's.

He said that [-] Korean soldiers entered Liao Dynasty in this battle, and tens of thousands were killed or injured, but the rest were elites. It would be a pity if they were all sent back.

And in this period of facing war at any time, it is best to keep these people.

"North Korea..." The cabinet ministers fell silent.

How to say this suggestion is too shameless.

They are here to help out, and you have to take the basin away, which is really outrageous.

But what Wu Sangui said is quite reasonable, more soldiers and horses are not a bad thing.

"Five thousand soldiers and horses can be condemned, and five thousand wounded soldiers can be sent back to the court, and the remaining ten thousand soldiers and horses will be left in Liaodong."

"The imperial court exempted this year's tribute at its discretion."

Lu Daqi said: "It's the best of both worlds, North Korea has nothing to say."

"That's right." The emperor praised, "Just do it like this."

"Your Majesty, it is a great blessing to hear that the third son of the emperor is extremely intelligent."

After talking about the political affairs, Chief Assistant Zhao Shu congratulated abruptly.

Not a single fool present here, this kind of aboveboard standing in line made the whole palace quiet.

The court ladies and eunuchs felt a chill.
