Domineering Daming

Fu Changzong is almost 50 years old, with white silk on his temples, and his face looks older. He has always been silent, and now he looks even older.

He looked down at the manuscript paper on the table, raised his head, first bowed in the direction of Zhu Xu, and then faced many members of parliament, said in a deep voice: "Da Ming, Jingzheng is five years old, and the year-end conference is now officially started. item, the national anthem!"

As soon as Fu Changzong finished speaking, Zhu Xu was the first to stand up.

Having experienced it twice, many officials were not surprised or were already familiar with the process. They all stood up and looked up at the silver-white flagpole between Zhu Xu and the congressman.

The sonorous drums sounded, and the guard of honor came across in neat steps.

The drums were suddenly generous, and the national flag was unfurled and raised slowly.

Zhu Xu opened his mouth, and the national anthem was sung from his mouth.

This time, these grown-ups didn't have the "shyness" they had before, and their voices were up and down, which was better than Zhu Xu's singing.

After the initial chaos, hundreds of people sang in unison, quite unanimously.

When the national flag reached the top, the drums stopped slowly, and the guard of honor turned around, saluted, and walked away.

Fu Changzong glanced at the manuscript below, started talking again, and said in a deep voice: "The second item on the agenda, regarding the relevant personnel adjustments, I emphasize here that this appointment is based on the adjustment of authority, ability, and objective conditions. High-level officials must take it seriously, put forward opinions and ideas here, and must not slander, slander, or spread rumors underground, otherwise they will be severely punished!"

The hall was full of silence. Fu Changzong's words were all "nonsense". What they cared more about was the appointment of personnel later. Although many people had already understood it, due to time constraints, they hadn't been given enough consideration. Some people, and others thought.

Fu Changzong took out a list and read directly: "The cabinet will adjust a series of officials. Due to health reasons, Bi Ziyan resigned from the post of Zuo Cifu. After careful consideration, the emperor has approved it and nominated Sun Chuanting to take over as Zuo Cifu. Fu Changzong Take over as the fifth cabinet minister, Zhou Yingqiu as the sixth cabinet minister, Li Youtang, the secretary of the cabinet, and Bao Liyou, the deputy head of the staff department, took over... In terms of the six departments, Guo Guangxin, the Minister of the Ministry of War, took over, Zhang Guowei, the left servant, and the secretary of the Ministry of punishment Liao Changyong was transferred to another position, Zuo Shilang Zhong Yangsheng took over, Minister of Industry Xu Dahua was transferred to another position, Minister of Rites Fang Kongxuan took over..."

Hearing this, I don't know how many people's hearts were shocked. If the cabinet didn't say anything, half of the six ministers would be replaced.

According to common sense, all these things have to be discussed and pushed by the court, even in the parliament, they have to be voted on one by one, but obviously Sun Chuanting didn't want to be so troublesome.

After Fu Changzong finished talking about the six parts, he continued: "Governor Jiang Dejing of Yunnan, Governor Qian Longxi of Fujian... When the six governors reach the age limit, they have submitted their resignations to the cabinet. The cabinet has approved it. Now nominate..."

In the huge meeting hall, hundreds of people were silent.

Although the Ming Dynasty has more than 20 provinces, leaving aside the false posts, Mongolia, North Korea, Ryukyu, Annan, and South China Sea provinces, there are only thirteen traditional provinces. This is equivalent to changing half of them again!

Such courage is far from what Bi Ziyan has!

All eyes were on Sun Chuanting who was on Zhu Xu's left hand side, his eyes flickered, and there were many complicated and unspeakable expressions flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 1311 Large-Scale Centralization of Power

Fu Changzong is still reading out, nominating candidates for the governor.

These candidates are all qualified and capable people. For example, Shi Bangyao is going to be the governor of Zhejiang.

Another example is that Feng Jiangfeng plans to be transferred to be the governor of Shandong. He was originally from the right of Nanzhili, and participated in politics on the left.

Fu Changzong introduced from various aspects and read slowly, as if he didn't notice the strange eyes of a large group of people in the audience.

Sun Chuanting sat on Zhu Xu's left side, turned his head, leaned close to his ear, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Shi Bangyao is calm and courageous. I have talked with him. They have a clearer understanding of the current situation. The situation in Zhejiang is a little clearer. The ability is enough. Feng Jiangfeng has a fiery personality, likes to open and close in things, and is eager for success. Zhejiang is a suitable place. Let him work for two years, and he can save the cabinet a lot of things..."

Zhu Xu sat upright, with a calm and majestic expression, and nodded slightly as he listened.

Although what is being said here is high-sounding, it is inevitable that there will be various considerations and checks and balances in the bureau.

For example, Shi Bangyao, Feng Jiangfeng, and Feng Jiangfeng were recommended by Zhou Yingqiu. From the outside world, they have always been the younger generation trained by the "Emperor Party".

Shi Bangyao's promotion in the past few years has obvious traces of Fang Kongzhang on his body, and Fang Kongzhang is Zhou Yingqiu's in-law.

Zhu Xu glanced at Sun Chuanting, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth calmly.Obviously, Sun Chuanting was trying to balance this appointment, giving Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu huge benefits in exchange for their support.

If these two people did not support, such a large-scale personnel adjustment would absolutely be impossible.

Fu Changzong continued to read: "Wang Zhengjin, proposed to be the governor of Jiangxi, Wang Zhengjin, a Jinshi in the 43rd year of Wanli, editor of Hanlin, former head of the household department, prefect of Jinan, prefect of Shenyang, right-handed and left-handed in Liaodong..."

The audience was still silent. Listening to this Wang Zhengjin, everyone looked as usual.

Because from his resume, it can be seen at a glance that this person is from Sun Chuanting, and there are too many overlaps between his resume and Sun Chuanting.

Fu Changzong almost followed the script, without any emotional fluctuations. After he finished reading the governor's appointment, he took out another piece of paper and said: "In addition, there are several special appointments. First, the commander's office nominated Qin Liangyu as the deputy marshal. Xiong Tingbi Transferred to Sichuan as the governor, Yang Sichang as the governor of Liaodong. The navy was renamed the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty, divided into four ocean theaters, Xiong Wencan was promoted to the governor, Cao Bianjiao was transferred to the governor of the Royal Navy, in charge of the Pacific theater..."

Regarding the sea, the Ming court was divided into three states, one was sincere and did not dare to ignore it and took it seriously, the other was under the pressure of Zhu Xu, reluctantly doing things, and the other was indifferent and watching with cold eyes.However, there are very few people who oppose it, maybe they know that it is useless to oppose it.

But listening to these personnel changes announced by Fu Changzong, not only the promotion of Xiong Wencan, but also the transfer of Cao Bianjiao, it was shocking and thought-provoking.

Who is Cao Bianjiao? He is the second generation of the Cao family. In his early years, he joined the army with his uncle Cao Wenzhao in Liaodong.Does such a person go to the "dispensable" navy, does it mean that the Qianqing Palace and the Shuaifu's emphasis on the navy has risen to another level?

For every appointment, the sitting officials and members of the council are thinking deeply, even if they have already spoken or known about it before, listening to it at this moment is still unavoidably shocking.

The court situation of Ming Dynasty, which has not been moved for many years, is about to usher in a huge change at this moment.

Some people's ears listened to Fu Changzong's words, and their eyes were on Sun Chuanting. Sun Chengzong's face swept across and fixed on Zhu Xu's face.

It has been several years, and His Majesty the emperor behaved completely differently from when he took the throne. He seemed to know the art of restraint and balance of the emperor, but at this time, these people suddenly became vigilant.

What this His Majesty is best at is not his decisiveness and style, but his patience. For such a big move, Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting simply don't have the ability and courage!

Therefore, this great change was planned long ago by Qianqing Palace, but it was only borrowed from the hands of the second grandson!

Zhu Xu's close ministers naturally understood this a long time ago. Sun Chuanting was appointed by the Qianqing Palace long ago. All of today's events are also in the Qianqing Palace's plan. The real author of this series of lists can only be the Qianqing Palace. Master, His Majesty the Emperor!

Among the hundreds of people, quite a few people came to their senses one after another. Looking at the young man sitting at the top, their emotions became more complicated, and some unspeakable little thoughts suddenly disappeared.

Fu Changzong read it out for a long time, finally finished it, raised his head, and said: "Now, let's vote on the personnel appointment that was just announced, please raise your hand if you agree!"

As soon as Fu Changzong's words fell, the cabinet clerks came out, there were more than 30 people, holding paper and pens, staring at the hundreds of people in the hall.

The people who had been arranged for a long time raised their hands one after another. The congressmen were very quiet. They looked at each other, and then looked at the small cabinet official holding this pen. They all slowly raised their hands.

The petty officials corresponded to the names and numbers, and checked them quickly.

It didn't take long for the statistics to be in Fu Changzong's hands. Fu Changzong glanced at the numbers, the corners of his eyes moved slightly, then raised his head, and said in a deep voice, "More than half of the six people in 410 agree. Now, those who disagree, please raise your hands."

The congressmen present looked straight ahead, and a few wanted to raise their hands, but they shrank back when they looked at the quiet surroundings.

Fu Changzong looked around, hit the gavel, and said in a deep voice: "It's time to nominate, pass!"

Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzong stood up, raised their hands to signal forward, and then sat down.

Flipping through the paper in Fu Changzong's hand, he said in a deep voice, "The second agenda item is the related institutional reform. Come here and distribute the plan to everyone."

Some clerks quickly took the paper and distributed it to the councilors.

Fu Changzong didn't stop talking, and continued: "First of all, the cabinet: the cabinet plans to manage and adjust the relevant institutions. First: the staff department, serving the elders of the cabinet. , the drafting of imperial edicts, improvement, policy research, etc. Second: General Administration Department, responsible for the acceptance, transmission, and distribution of documents and memorials from various places, with one person in charge. Third: Administrative Department, divestiture of the Epidemic Prevention Bureau, and emergency yamen , Qintianjian, Shangyijian, Taichang Temple, Taipu Temple, Honghe Temple, Guanglu Temple, the Inspectorate and other cabinets, and some yamen in the imperial palace, etc., and unified management. Fourth, adjust the organization directly under the cabinet , planning: to upgrade commercial institutions such as Guomao Temple and Yanke, and establish the Daming Royal Commercial Headquarters with related commercial banks in Shenlongfu. The Royal Bank will be renamed the Daming Royal Bank, and allow other banks to be established in batches, including independent overseas banks. Integrate the relevant functions of the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Price Bureau of the Ministry of Households, the Metropolitan Taxation Department and other departments to form the General Administration of Commerce. The Anti-Corruption Bureau was renamed the General Administration of Integrity and Anti-Corruption, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau was renamed the Foreign Affairs Institute. Except for the highest Dali Temple, the local government is divided into three levels, called The court. The Governor’s Council has adjusted its organization, streamlined manpower, and improved efficiency. It is divided into three levels. The Royal Political Council and its affiliated academies are reformed, divided into three levels, and each level is three years. Primary schools, middle schools, and universities are set up to formulate strict academic degrees. Orientation, precision, and large-scale training of students..."

Listening to Fu Changzong's reading and looking at the thick paper in their hands, the congressmen were beyond shocked.

Sun Chuanting's action was unimaginable, almost involving all the institutions of the imperial court!
