Chapter 408 Positive Martial Arts
In the attic of Chengyuan, everyone's eyes flashed, and they looked at Jia Yun without saying anything.
Niu Jizong thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Prince Concubine, I don't know what kind of yamen this military and political yamen is."
This question came to the hearts of the people present. The Military and Political Department yamen knew that it was to manage the military and political affairs of the court when they heard it, but everyone did not know what their responsibilities were. Don’t end up being just an idle yamen.
The current situation is in the air for two days, and Jia Yun is the emperor's confidant. Perhaps this is to win over the blank checks they made, and it is not easy to think about them after getting on the ship!!!
Jia Yun took a sip of wine when he heard this, and asked, "What is the responsibility of the Ministry of War? What is the responsibility of the new yamen?"
The Ministry of War is in charge of the selection, appointment, military status, military affairs, and military orders of the country. Since everyone is an official, there is no need for Jia Yun to say too much.
Niu Jizong glanced at Jia Yun and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, why should we set up a new military and political yamen?"
The new yamen and the Ministry of War have similar responsibilities, so why bother to do this? Is it just to change the name? If so, they wouldn't get involved?
Jia Yun was not surprised. Perhaps they thought this was just an idle yamen and were coaxing them to play.
"Everyone, you all know that the six ministries of the court are directly under His Majesty. The cabinet is just a think tank for His Majesty to handle government affairs. However, due to the cabinet's vote system, the power of the cabinet is actually above the six ministries. The Ministry of War is just a fancy situation. And although it is called the Ministry of War, the officials of the Ministry of War are all civil servants. We can't get any benefits!!!"
Everyone was silent when they heard this. After all, although Jia Yun's words were straightforward, they were real. This was the court's attitude of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts. It would be only a matter of time before the lonely martial arts.
The silent Wang Qian couldn't help but speak, "The Prince Consort said before that the new yamen was comparable to the cabinet. The officials and others didn't understand the intention, so I hope the Prince Consort will inform you."
Wang Qian understood that if you only change your name, Jia Yun would not have to mobilize others like this. The key is that what Jia Yun said before was comparable to the cabinet. According to his thoughts, the new yamen is not just a simple name, but also the power that the Ministry of War does not have. If not, how can it be equivalent to the cabinet?
Jia Yun was not surprised to see Wang Qian ask the key point. I am afraid that everyone present had guesses in his heart, otherwise how could the atmosphere be so quiet?
So Jia Yun smiled and replied, "Everyone, you all know that the cabinet is full of books and bags. They don't understand military affairs but like to talk nonsense, which will cause us trouble. However, the cabinet has such power. This is a shackle on our heads. The military and government yamen is a yamen that is separated from the cabinet and is dedicated to military officers."
Jia Yun is biased in this statement. Not everyone in the cabinet is Zhao Kuo, and the reasons raised in it are reasonable. However, what Jia Yun wants is to escape from the constraints of civil officials. In order to unite everyone, Jia Yun must of course be disdainful of those civil officials. Civil officials look down on military officials, military officials look down on civil officials, and civil officials look down on civil officials. Civil and military officials look down on civil officials. This is the right thing. If civil and military affairs are in harmony, some people will not be able to sit still...
When he heard Jia Yun belittle the scholars, the elegant King Beijing became embarrassed. Although he was a Wu Xun, he was also a scholar. However, Jia Yun represented the interests of the Wu Xun lineage, so King Beijing did not say anything.
As Jia Yun said, since he was separated from the cabinet, he would only be responsible to the emperor, and there was no book bag on his head, so they could hold their heads up and be human.
"How to get out of the cabinet?" Wang Gan asked with hope.
Jia Yun explained: "The new yamen established the first military officer, and four auxiliary ministers under him. They adopted the "vote drafting" system of the cabinet, drafted an edict according to Your Majesty's order, and then carried out military and national affairs with His Majesty's approval. However, there are gains and losses. There are only the ability to transfer troops in the new yamen, but there is no right to lead troops."
Listening to Jia Yun's explanation, everyone's eyes became hot again. Sure enough, this new yamen is different from the Ministry of War, and it is very different. They decided to report the major military and political affairs to the emperor and directly omit the cabinet. Isn't this to be separated from the cabinet?
Immediately afterwards, they were very interested in the first and four auxiliary ministers. According to their equivalent in the cabinet, this rank would definitely not be bad. Although they only have the ability to mobilize troops and have no right to lead troops, it seems to be a kind of shelf, but these are not a big deal for them. Military power is a kind of power, but the power of the new yamen is greater. This is a management of the national military and political affairs, covering an extraordinary range. As for whether they have soldiers... Haha, this is not a chaotic world. Staying in the center is countless times stronger than holding heavy troops. Everyone understands this, and Jia Yun naturally knows it, so he speaks it openly, not afraid that they will hesitate.
Niu Jizong's eyes lit up below. Jia Yun had asked him if he wanted to return to the court earlier. Judging from the meaning, these four assistant ministers seemed to have their own. As for the first emperor, there was no need to think too much, it was definitely not his turn.
"Mr. Prince Concubine, what arrangements does Your Majesty have for the new yamen?" Niu Jizong slammed indirectly.
Jia Yun smiled and said calmly: "The matter of the new yamen has not been finalized yet. How can there be an arrangement? It depends on our methods to know whether this matter can be accomplished. Those books and bags will not be watched."
Although the emperor handed over the candidates of the two auxiliary ministers to Jia Yun, Jia Yun had already decided on these two candidates, so there was no need to tell them all. After all, this requires the joint efforts of the Wuxun family. You have set all the benefits. Isn’t this weakening the enthusiasm of these people? Without the benefits, they will not make great efforts.
Moreover, private explanations can also make them do their best. After all, this is their own career, which is to kill Gods, and the Buddhas block the Buddhas...
Everyone understood Jia Yun's meaning. The power of the new yamen overlapped with the Ministry of War. If you want to establish a new yamen, you can only rob the power of the Ministry of War. This touched the interests of civil servants, and this could be accomplished, which also shows that the status of military officers and civil servants is equal, and this has even moved the status of civil servants as superior. How can civil servants tolerate it? Don't think too much, and the rebuttals will definitely be heard.
"Isn't it just a matter of doing it with them? I think I'm superior to those shitty books after reading two books. I really don't know what to say. I, Lao Zhu, have long been unable to bear it. Prince Consort, we will do whatever you say."
"Yes, we only follow the leader of the prince consort."
