Domineering Daming

As the governors close to the imperial court responded, some governors also "agreed with the lower officials".

The governors and governors who originally had the heart to continue "arguing" with the imperial court had no choice but to follow the trend of "officials agreeing", which was too obvious and prone to accidents.

Bi Ziyan looked calm, flipped through the notebook in front of him, and said, "Okay, let's start. Everyone has read the first item of today, the law of the Ming Dynasty, and the revised herb. Those who agree raise their hands to the north, and those who disagree Heading south, start now!"

Sun Chengzong and others raised their hands first, all facing the back, north, which is the direction of Qianqing Palace, and the meaning is naturally clear at a glance.

Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others raised their hands at the same time, all facing north.

The others followed suit, raised their hands and cupped their fists, and turned to the north to show their approval.

In fact, there is nothing to say about the Law of the Ming Dynasty. Right now, it is still a general outline. It is not very operable, and there is nothing worth fighting for.

Bi Ziyan glanced at it, nodded and said, "Okay, unanimous vote."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jie, the secretary of the cabinet not far behind him, quietly recorded, and on the other side of him was the inner prison supervisor, who also picked up a pen to record silently.

Bi Ziyan waited for a while, and said: "The second, the cabinet system, everyone knows the details, I don't waste time, let's vote now."

The cabinet, this appeared because Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister. Although the Ming Dynasty did not explicitly list it, it has actually existed for nearly 200 years.

There was also nothing to say, a group of adults raised their hands to the north in unison.

Bi Ziyan glanced at it and said, "Unanimous approval."

Xu Jie and the internal supervisor quietly recorded, and there was no movement, not daring to disturb anyone.

But everyone else is vigilant, this is to be presented to the imperial court!

"The next one." Bi Ziyan looked around and said indifferently: "Jing Zheng's tax law."

This tax law contains too many food taxes, mine taxes, salt taxes, commercial taxes, etc., among which the food tax includes "one tax payment for officials and gentry"!

This one is also the most sensitive one in a series of political reforms, and it is the most debated, even now it is still raging outside the palace.

"The lower officials agree." Fu Changzong was the first to say.He is the Minister of the Household Department. Although he is no longer in charge of taxes, everyone can weigh his weight.

"The lower officials agree." Zhou Yingqiu said.

"The lower officials agree." Yuan Keli said.

……

"The lower officials agree." Zhao Han said.

"The lower officials agree." Qian Longxi said.

"The lower officials agree." Wang Sanshan said.

The six ministries of the cabinet and all the governors all raised their hands in "agreement", and the number of people was far more than half in the blink of an eye.

The rest stared blankly at each other, feeling very conflicted in their hearts. Whether it was out of selfishness or public interest, they all thought that "gentry taxation" was out of date and wanted to argue again.

But when they were hesitating, the internal eunuch who recorded it stretched out his head to look at those who didn't raise their hands.

The faces of this group of people changed slightly, and then with stiff faces, they raised their hands with difficulty and headed north.

The eunuch retracted his head and continued to record.

Bi Ziyan looked at the "unanimous vote" again, and felt relieved. Even if there was a single objection, it would damage the dignity of the political reform if it spread.

Bi Ziyan looked excited, looked at Sun Chengzong, and said: "Article [-], Jingzheng Tianmu system, vote!"

The two most important aspects of Jingzheng’s field mu system are the re-registration of the field mu and the measurement of the land.Neither would be accepted by the gentry.

This is also a matter of great controversy, but a consensus has been reached.

It is still the cabinet, with the six ministries leading, and some others following. In the face of the general trend, even those who oppose it have no choice but to raise their hands to the north.

"Pass! Next."

Bi Ziyan took a look, and said: "The Clan Regulations, the Eighteen Rules of Honor and Nobility, and the Imperial Palace's Regulations... vote together."

It is stipulated that the expenses of the imperial palace shall not exceed [-]% of the previous year's tax money. The clan and nobles are meaningless, anyway, they are actually abolished now.

The adults all raised their hands to the north at the same time, there was nothing to talk about.

Bi Ziyan was equally clear, and then voted on a few less important ones, and then changed the subject, saying: "Next, we will vote on the six ministries. For the restructuring of the Governor's Council, vote on the Governor's Council first."

After these words fell, the entire lobby became silent.

This Governor's Office is different from the previous Metropolitan Procuratorate. The expansion of powers has shocked all officials. The adults in the imperial court are worried that it will evolve into a second Jinyiwei or Dongchang, and the local officials are worried that it will become a city hanging over their heads. The beheading sword that could fall down at any time!

This is Zhu Xu's special design for his current corrupt physique, and he specializes in supervising the world's officials, so he naturally has a bloody murderous aura.

Bi Ziyan didn't give these people time to react, and said indifferently: "Let's start voting."

Chapter 572 Tang Ruowang

The Governor’s Council, not only in the capital, can investigate officials below the second rank, that is, officials below the sixth minister, but also in localities can investigate all officials below the third rank, that is, the governor. All officials below the governor do not need the authorization of the court!

Even Jinyiwei and Dongchang don't have such power, not only the officials in the capital, but the officials in the capital are all uneasy!

If this is a little laissez-faire, the world will not be in chaos!

"The lower officials agree." Zhou Yingqiu was the first to raise his hand this time, faster than Sun Chengzong who was beside Bi Ziyan.In fact, he disagreed with this arrangement in his heart, but the emperor of Jingyang Palace insisted on it repeatedly and did not make any concessions, so he could only stand up and support it.

Zhou Yingqiu is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and has the most right to speak to the officials in the world.

As soon as he raised his hand, Fu Changzong then raised his hand and said to the north: "The lower officials agree."

These two were like a weather vane, Zhao Han, Zhang Ruitu, Huang Liji, Qian Longxi, Jiang Dejing, Wang Sanshan, etc., a group of governors raised their hands in support.

With the support of the governor, the local governors also raised their hands. To a certain extent, they are one. Once something happens, no one can escape.

Among the six books, except for Yuan Keli, who was relatively old and did not follow Zhou Yingqiu and others, the other five raised their hands.

The cabinet, the five ministers, everyone can weigh this weight clearly, a group of people with a neutral stance raised their hands one after another, making the scene very spectacular, a group of people raised their hands in unison and headed north.

Such a spectacular scene made the other Xiaobo feel awkward, neither raising his hand nor not raising his hand.

Bi Ziyan had expected it a long time ago, took a look, and said: "More than half, passed, the next one, the reform of the bureaucracy."

The secretary of the cabinet and the supervisor of the ceremonies quietly recorded the number of people, the proportion, and who did not raise their hands.

A group of people were worried, but they were calm. Even if the emperor troubled them, they would dare to explain it with confidence.

The reform of the Ministry of Officials has expanded and narrowed powers, and there is generally no opinion.
