I defeated Emperor Chongzhen at the beginning!

Chapter 26 Replying to Your Majesty, I think what Your Majesty said is very true!

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The morning court is in full swing.

Liu Yi, the direct son of the Liu family, one of the four top families in the Ming Dynasty, entered the court hall to perform under the joint recommendation of his friends Jia Cheng, the right servant of the Ministry of War, and Zhao Jing, the minister of the Ministry of officials.

"Your Majesty! I believe that there are many talents in Ming Dynasty. Although there are many official positions, there are still a few key positions without specific official positions."

Zhu Youjian had never seen this person before, and he subconsciously looked at him with squinting eyes.

Loyalty 90!

very good!

Moreover, Jia Cheng and Zhao Jing who recommended him are both honest and upright people.

How about these people being friends?

"Oh? Is there any position that I, Ming, have not been involved in yet?"

Liu Yi bowed and answered, his tone neither humble nor overbearing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that His Majesty now values ​​the integrity of officials, and the collusion between officials and officials is also shameless to Ming Dynasty! Since that is the case, why not set up a supervisory organ to supervise the integrity of officials and their integrity!"

"How does Ai Qing think it should be set up? And how should it be managed?"

Liu Yi took out a file from his sleeve and presented it to Zhu Youjian respectfully.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have been thinking a lot about this, and after searching countless ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classics, I finally came to this method!
First of all, it is necessary to establish a special agency for supervising whether the officials are acting impartially and honestly. Secondly, in the six ministries, there should be another department to supervise the officials of each department. Mutual supervision!

What does your majesty think? "

"Ok?"

Zhu Youjian raised his eyebrows. Does this institution and system sound so familiar?

Procuratorate!

No, in the Ming Dynasty, it should be called the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
"Fair! Ai Qing thinks, how should this institution be named?"

Zhu Youjian already knew the answer in his heart, so it depends on whether Liu Yi can say it.

But Liu Yi shook his head.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have never thought about it, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to give me a name!"

"Preach my will! Set up the Metropolitan Procuratorate! It is used to supervise the actions of officials and warn officials of collusion!

Liu Yi, the eldest son of the Liu family, is extremely intelligent, meticulous, and well-rounded in every aspect!Then he was named the censor of the right capital!
The rest of the official positions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all drawn up by Liu Yi, and after my review, those who are correct will be given officials and rewards! "

"I will obey your orders!"

The hundreds of officials started whispering again, everyone had shock on their faces.

"The Liu family is smoking from the ancestral grave!"

"The Liu family is in trouble this time. They are a big family, and the son is still appreciated by the emperor like this!"

"This time, the Zhang family, the head of the four great families in the imperial city, is still under pressure. I'm afraid the reputation will be lost!"

"..."

Zhu Youjian has his own thoughts.

Now the four major families living in the imperial city are the Fuling Lan family, the Chongyang Li family, the Hongcheng Zhang family, and the Langyi Liu family.

The legitimate sons and concubine sons of these aristocratic families have studied literature and martial arts since childhood, and it can be said that they accounted for half of the Ming Dynasty.

It cannot be said that they are not good, they are all talented in both civil and military affairs.

But some people just can't stay.

The aristocratic family has existed for a long time, and there are many people with wolf ambitions!

However, these families are deeply ingrained, and it takes some thought to completely pull them out.

Promoting Liu Yi is the first step!
The Liu family suddenly became prosperous, and the leader of the Zhang family must not be able to see it.

If Liu and Zhang want to fight, one of them will surely perish.

The remaining family, in order to avoid the coveting hearts of the other two families, will definitely try their best to get rid of each other.

At the end of the battle, there is only one family left!

At that time, the power of the family will not be feared!

The court has been silent for a long time, it's time for the wind to blow!

"Zhang Aiqing, why are you dissatisfied?"

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhang Yang who lowered his head and frowned, and started to provoke.

The Zhang family is the head of the four great families in the imperial city, and because of this, Zhang Yang has always been arrogant, even though he is only a third-rank doctor, he is much bolder than others.

He walked directly to the front of the hall, and the angle of bowing and saluting was obviously not that respectful.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that although Lord Liu's suggestion is good, he is not an official after all. I am afraid that it is not appropriate to be born as a first-rank censor."

Hit!
Zhu Youjian hid the sneer in his eyes and continued to trick him.

"However, I have heard that the Liu family in the imperial city is very strict in the education of their descendants, and the eldest son Liu Yi is even more intelligent. I believe that there must be a reason for the Liu family to survive for so long!"

Zhang Yang was choked and wanted to argue, but he couldn't argue.

"hiss……"

Zhu Youjian patted his head, acting as if he had suddenly realized.

"That's right! Your Zhang family is also a well-known noble family in the imperial city, and you are the head of the four great families! If you think about it, the Zhang family must also teach your children well. As the eldest son, since you have raised Liu Yi to the right If the censor disagrees, then I will promote you to..."

Zhu Youjian didn't continue to speak, he dragged his chin pretending to think while observing Zhang Yang's expression.

Civil and military officials began to speculate.

"The son of the Zhang family is also going to be promoted? Presumably it should be the censor of Zuodu!"

"That's right, the Zhang family is above the Liu family anyway, so they are naturally higher than Liu Yi's officials."

"It seems that the status of the Zhang family in the family still cannot be shaken..."

"These Zhang family must be even more defiant."

"..."

Zhang Yang curled his lips, he is bound to win!
"Pass down my will! Zhang Yang, the son of the Zhang family, has both good character and good conduct, so he was promoted to Zuo... Deputy capital censor!"

Zhang Yang, who was about to smile when he heard the word "Zuo", heard the word "Deputy".

Zhu Youjian paused between these two words.

Isn't this just playing with him?
But he is the emperor, Zhang Yang dares to be angry and dare not speak out!

"Master Zhang, quickly accept the decree and thank you!"

The eunuchs around Zhu Youjian were all good people, and they seized the opportunity to step on Zhang Yang, trying to please Zhu Youjian.

Zhang Yang's face was mostly darkened, but he still had to kneel and kowtow to thank him.

"Sir! Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

He bites every word very hard, for fear that others will not know his dissatisfaction.

Zhu Youjian didn't take it seriously, but shook his head secretly.

This grievance is unbearable.

The Zhang family is doomed not to win the Liu family's battle!
"Lan Yan, Li Tong, what do you think?"

The civil and military officials held their breath and concentrated.

Obviously, today's early court is a special event for the four great families.

Lan Yan is a dull gourd, usually he doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to be close to others.

This man has no desire to fight.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think what your Majesty said is very true!"

No fun!

Zhu Youjian focused on Li Tong who was on the side.

This person is very thoughtful!

However, the Li family is at the bottom of the ranking among the four great aristocratic families, so it's fine elsewhere, but in a place like the imperial city where aristocratic families gather, Li Tong can't take advantage of it.

"Your Majesty has discerning eyes. The eldest sons of the Zhang and Liu families are all top-notch talents. It is my great Ming's blessing to have this good official."

After a few words, neither of the two will be offended.

He also praised Zhu Youjian by the way.

He can talk more than Lan Yan!

The situation is already very clear, and Zhu Youjian can already guess the future direction of these aristocratic families, almost.

"Retreat!"
