Domineering Daming

"Abiding by the order!" Shen and Sun bowed.

Looking at this fresh plum blossom, Zhu Xu thought about giving it to Li Jieyu later, and said: "The route going south needs to be changed, first go to Tianjinwei, then to Jinan, then follow the Grand Canal to Yingtianfu, and then to Hangzhou, along the sea to Fujian, all the way to Yunnan!"

Having said that, Zhu Xu still wants to visit Taiwan from the bottom of his heart, but the time may not be enough.

The courtiers didn't want the emperor to go out of Beijing, and they didn't want the emperor to mobilize people to run around, but the one in front of him was obviously very similar to Taizu Taizong, so they couldn't restrain him.They looked at each other and said, "I obey the order."

In the palace, Zhu Xu was discussing the matter of going south, the governors in Wenzhao Pavilion, and the ministers of the six ministries were still arguing.

There are many focuses of controversy, including "Jingzheng Tax Law", "Jingzheng Field Mu System", "Clan Law", "Twelve Regulations for Nobility", "General Rules for Palace Expenses", "Commercial Law", "Salt Law", etc. wait.

Bi Ziyan has the confidence to adjust these things. When formulating them, he has reserved space and can always find a balance point.But when it comes to the six ministries, the reform of local powers and responsibilities will form a "unanimous opposition", making Bi Ziyan seem to be fighting alone.

According to the design of Zhu Xu, Bi Ziyan and others, the Ministry of Households is no longer responsible for taxation, and a separate State Administration of Taxation is established, which belongs to the cabinet. The assessment and transfer of officials by the Ministry of Officials needs to be checked by the Supervisory Council on the incumbents, resumes, and records of these officials. property inspection.The Ministry of Industry is no longer in charge of building warships, and has set up a ship department, repairing bridges and paving roads, etc. It is also preparing to build a national chamber of commerce and concentrate private forces.From now on, the Ministry of Punishments will only be responsible for criminal investigations, not trial cases, and will set up criminal and prison divisions in various provinces and counties, which will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishments.The powers and responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War are also divided and reduced. At the same time, the offices of the three divisions in various places are also directly under the Dali Temple, and promotions can only be made internally.The power of the Local Governor's Council has been expanded to investigate the governor, and any official below the governor can directly investigate the governor and the governor with the permission of the court!The governor's office in the capital can even investigate all officials below the third rank, and the imperial court has allowed the investigation of six ministers!

Not to mention the six parts, the local governments are frightened and extremely cautious. On the premise of "not annoying the emperor", they are fighting hard, trying to maintain power while maintaining "safety".

In addition, the Huitong Commercial Bank was changed to the Royal Bank, responsible for minting coins, issuing bank notes, etc., ten granaries, responsible for the imperial court's strategic food reserves, and the powers of Dongchang and Nine Temples, etc. This is more complicated than rebuilding a country !

Bi Ziyan, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others are busy coordinating these days. The court seems to be dividing powers, but in fact it is refining powers and responsibilities. The supervision and control of the localities has become unprecedented. If there is no moth in the meeting, the effort is not at 01:30!

This innovation has almost overturned or aims to overthrow all the previous structures of Ming Dynasty. From economy to politics, everything is changing, which is tantamount to overthrowing and rebuilding!Most people were still alive before the apocalypse, so the reform was basically led by the emperor Zhu Xu, with Bi Ziyan, Fu Changzong and other six ministers, and the provincial governors who were "loyal to the emperor" were promoting. These are the supporters of the New Deal or Vested interests.

Although it is difficult, it is also "bargaining". Bi Ziyan and others are well versed in the "hidden rules" in this, and they keep communicating, arguing, and even threatening with these people, using various means to narrow the gap, hoping to reach an agreement as soon as possible. Consistent, complete the prelude.

The high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty were devoting their minds to the innovation plan, and the atmosphere in the entire capital was busy and positive, but there were always people who added discordant voices to this atmosphere.

Ruan Dacheng and Sun Zhixie walked out of Shendu Academy, their expressions were filled with indignation.

Sun Zhixie cursed loudly, "At first I thought he had a little bit of backbone, but I didn't expect it to be just a soft bone. When he got on the Daoist performance, he died down, and he won't show his head again!"

The word "Shen Du" is Liu Zongzhou's unique understanding of the development of Confucianism. This time he came to Beijing to talk about "Shen Du".He was originally a person with little ambition for an official career. Although Ruan Dacheng provoked him last time, it was more due to his views on the court situation, and he did not intend to become an official in the court.

So when Ruan Dacheng and Sun Zhixie came again, they made Liu Zongzhou understand the real purpose of the two, and drove them away very rudely.

Ruan Dacheng has always been repeated, not at all angry because of Liu Zongzhou's lack of cooperation, and sneered as he walked, "I can do something if he refuses to do it! I don't believe that I overthrew Huang Chengyuan, the emperor, those big figures in the court can still remain indifferent and prevent my official from being restored." job!"

In the third year of Tianqi, Ruan Dacheng competed with Wei Dazhong for the appointment of officials. As a result, Zhao Nanxing and others favored Wei Dazhong.This also annoyed Zhao Nanxing and other Donglin bosses. He was forced to resign and return to his hometown less than a month after he took office.

Later, when Wei Zhongxian fell from power and Dong Linqiu settled the accounts, he tried his best to protect himself. After all these years, he has never been an official!

Sun Zhixie was dismissed during the inspection by the Ministry of Officials, and has always dreamed of returning to his post. This time, he and Ruan Dacheng hit it off and seek common development.

He has been frustrated and very angry in his heart. Hearing Ruan Dacheng's transformation, he said directly: "Then tell me, what should we do? If we don't get rid of Huang Chengyuan, we won't have a chance when the court meeting starts!"

Ruan Dacheng looked in the direction of the Governor's Council suspiciously, and said with a disdainful smile: "Just wait, you will know tomorrow."

Sun Zhixie glanced at him suspiciously, thinking in his heart that he would go to the Ministry of Rites, and if he could publish an article of his, the influence would definitely be stronger than their connections!

Chapter 550

In the middle of the night, Zhu Xu was lying on his side on the bed, flipping through the "briefings" sent by Bi Ziyan, hot tea and snacks were served not far from his head.

Li Jieyu was sitting not far away, taking off the headgear, and said softly at the same time: "Your Majesty, today the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager told me about the big wedding, will the Emperor still push it back?"

Zhu Xu was looking seriously, and casually said: "Well, let's push it again, I will leave Beijing next year, and the year after that, it may not be peaceful, let's see in three years."

Li Jieyu frowned slightly, she was the only one in the emperor's harem now, she was afraid there would be some bad rumors after a long time, she sat down, looked at Zhu Xu and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you want to admit some more sisters into the palace? "

Zhu Xu was taken aback, looked up at her, and said with a strange expression: "Why?" He is not a stallion, he is very tired every day, and most importantly, he has not met a girl he likes yet, so he can't just find a few Let the beautiful ones be stuffed into the palace for him, right?

How uncomfortable it is to be half-forced purely mechanical movement!

Li Jieyu pursed his lips, not knowing how to speak.

Zhu Xu vaguely guessed what she was thinking, smiled and said: "Okay, don't think about what you have, go to bed early, and I will watch it later."

Li Jieyu felt a little sweet in his heart, smiled lightly, went to bed and lay down inside Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu rolled up the quilt and continued to read Bi Ziyan's "briefing".

Bi Ziyan has reached a preliminary consensus with all the adults, and then it is the details.

Basically, it is still within the framework of Zhu Xu's design, but some powers have been adjusted, but the regulations on the clan and relatives make Zhu Xu fall into deep thought.

"The clan and relatives are not in charge of the army, do not join the Ministry of Officials, do not enter the Ministry of Households, and do not join the Ministry of War. Foreign relatives do not enter the cabinet, and the clan does not leave the capital. The term of office of the chief assistant of the cabinet is eight years, and the term of the assistant minister of the cabinet shall not exceed 12 years. Resignation at the age of 60 shall not be extended."

For relatives, this should be an accident.

At the time of the apocalypse, Fu Changzong was the head of the household department, and Zhu Xu, who was King Hui, was also transparent, and no one cared about him.But when Zhu Xu became the emperor, Fu Changzong was a real relative, which was contrary to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty.At the beginning, I didn't know how much commotion was caused, but with Zhu Xu's silent persistence, the matter developed step by step to this day, the court has become accustomed to it, and very few people mentioned the sensitive topic of "foreign relatives".

As for the clan, this is more complicated. Firstly, it is Tianqi's "Auxiliary Edict", and secondly, Zhu Xu forcefully banned all the clan princes and killed many princes. Few people dare to touch this topic.

Seriously speaking, these two are freaks, and Bi Ziyan's method is also a compromise for the current situation, and he must find a way to correct it in the future.

Zhu Xu looked at this "briefing" and said nothing for a long time.

The Ming Dynasty's defense against the clan and relatives can be said to be the strictest in all dynasties. The courtiers were so flexible, most of them were considering the majesty of the emperor, and they were unwilling to be easily angered.

But even so, Zhu Xu still couldn't accept that Daming was now employing people, whether it was foreign relatives or the clan, there were places to rely on, such as Fu Changzong, Fu Tao, King Xin, King Jing, or the newly succeeded King Tang.

Regarding this point, we can only put it on hold temporarily and solve it slowly in the future.

Restricting and guarding against foreign relatives is not only the needs of the royal family, but also the requirements of the officials, officials, and even the people of the world!

The stability and order of the throne is related to the safety of Ming Dynasty, and no one should take it lightly!

Li Jieyu propped up one arm and quietly looked at Zhu Xu's side face. He didn't know how to describe it in his heart. He felt that the emperor at this time was particularly exciting.

"Come on, let's have a son!"

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, Zhu Xu turned over and rushed towards Li Jieyu.

Li Jieyu was caught off guard, and his scream turned into a soft whisper.

The palace was as warm as spring, but a large group of people died of panic outside the palace.

Chen Xinjia commanded the guards of the Shuntian Mansion, and shouted angrily: "Tear it up, tear it up! Anyone who is suspected will be arrested by this officer! No matter who he is!"

The Shuntian government officials were crazy, gathered nearly a hundred people, and tore up the "notices" that suddenly appeared on the wall!

Liao Huayong, head of the criminal department, wiped the cold sweat off his head, handed the paper torn from the wall to Ni Wenhuan who was still getting dressed, and said eagerly: "My lord, it's all over the capital, and there are still many papers posted in the imperial city. Now, Shuntian Mansion, Dali Temple and others are all arresting people and tearing up paper..."

Ni Wenhuan quickly put on his clothes, looked at the white paper in his hand, and wrote it in black and white. In addition to accusing Huang Chengyuan of "confusing the world", he also accused Zhou Yingqiu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, of "covering up" and Fu Changzong of the Ministry of Household Affairs. What's more, the above also named the relationship between the current emperor and the current queen mother Zhang as "unpredictable"!

Ni Wenhuan was trembling in his heart, and looked at Liao Huayong with wide eyes.No wonder he was so flustered, if this reached the emperor's ears, it would be thunderbolt!

"My lord, my lord!" A servant of Ni's mansion ran in and said anxiously, "The patrol battalion has imposed a curfew."
