Chapter V The New Cabinet

Chapter 5                                                              

According to the practice of the officialdom, although most of the charges of corruption and dereliction of duty are not punished with three glasses of wine, they will not be punished with the following examples. However, most of the time, they will not be punished with death.

Just like now, if we were to judge certain cases at the beginning of the founding of the country, our country's Greater China started with the street office, and a large number of officials could not escape peanuts.

Generally speaking, Ming officials were dismissed from office and sentenced to atonement, or exile. As long as they were not involved in major political events, they were rarely killed with one blow.

Therefore, according to the meaning of the Ministry of Justice, most of the officials who found out that there were problems were just dismissed from office. A few may be imprisoned.

However, according to the Ming Dynasty law, they and even their families could not escape the big package for family destruction.

Li Xian would never dare to nod in such a thing.

The reason is very simple. This is based on the current punishment standards. If the officials found are handled according to the Ming Dynasty law, the number of officials in the world will be found out several times. More people will be killed.

All officials are uneasy, what should the court do?

Li Xian was absolutely unwilling to do what Zhu Qizhen wanted, and he also did not want the emperor to practice the Ming Dynasty law.

The emperor wanted to practice the law, what was his intention? How could Li Xian not be clear?

Li Xian has always opposed the emperor's idea of ​​changing the ancestral system, but this kind of opposition is more about hiding needles in cotton and stripping steel in soft.

Zhu Jianjun carefully read the changes at home and abroad in the past one or two months, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really not easy for Father."

But Zhu Qizhen didn't think so.

Just when his son, who was far away in Lanzhou, felt that his old father was suffering, Zhu Qizhen was in the Qianqing Palace and read the "Da Ming Law" carefully.

It seems to be deaf about the situation across the country.

At the beginning of the 23rd year of the Orthodox, that is, last year.

Zhu Qizhen adjusted his cabinet and understood one thing, perhaps it would be more comfortable to find an obedient subordinate as a leader. But if you want to achieve a great career, you have to choose the top talents.

But every top talent is not easy to meet. They have their own ideas. If they can all be subdued, it depends on Zhu Qizhen's own skills.

However, Zhu Qizhen had confidence in himself.

Now the new cabinet has confirmed this.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Li Xian, was the second assistant of the Duke of Changguo, and then the prime minister of wealth, Liu Dingzhi, the military minister, Luo Tong, and the minister of engineering, Wang Yonghe. As for the original Grand Secretary, Jiang Yuan, he was out by Zhu Qizhen.

Going out to the Northeast Governor, he controls Liaodong, Haixi and North Korea.

On the one hand, Jiang Yuan’s ability is not valued by Zhu Qizhen.

Although Jiang Yuan ranked second in the cabinet, it does not mean that the ranking in the cabinet represents the right to speak in the cabinet.

If the cabinet rankings are indefinitely ranked, that is fake.

But it is also fake to say that the ministers in the front of the cabinet will definitely be able to suppress the ministers behind it.

Except for the prime minister, no one is taller than anyone else. A capable person may not be able to underestimate the prime minister. Jiang Yuan makes himself feel very devoid of existence.

Before, he could also make up his numbers in the cabinet, but now Zhu Qizhen wants to do big things, so he naturally cannot keep them.

On the other hand, the Northeast really needs an important official to take charge.

Wang Ao, the elder of the three dynasties, could no longer support it. However, after the establishment of Longcheng, the most important thing was to be able to take every step and establish an effective ruling system on a large area of ​​land in Northeast China.

This is more important than winning one or two.

Due to the current situation in Northeast China, manpower and material resources are weak, and if it is divided into three provinces, it will be bad. Therefore, Zhu Qizhen established the position of Governor of Northeast China.

Not always available either.

When the Northeast develops well, it will naturally be divided into three provinces.

Jiang Yuan also has a secret mission, which is to change the country of North Korea to Haidong Province.

Although the name of North Korea was given by Emperor Taizu, it is still out of place now. In order to eliminate the Korean will to resist, Zhu Qizhen has confirmed that in the future, Pyongyang, North Korea will be designated as Haidong Province in the southeast, while Liaodong Province is to the west of Pyongyang, and Haixi Province in the northwest.

However, Jiang Yuan’s residence is not in North Korea, Haixi, nor in Liaodong, but in Jilin.

This Jilin is not Jilin Province, but Jilin City.

This place was originally the location of the imperial shipyard on the Songhua River, and Han people lived in it. Zhu Qizhen's important task for Jiang Yuan was to open up the Northeast Plain, build cities along the Songhua River line, and attract people to farm.

Of course, some garrisons migrated from the mainland will also open up garrisons along the Songhua River.

Now that Longcheng is on the front line, the strategic form of this area is very safe.

However, due to climate, it takes several generations of efforts to build the Northeast into a granary. During his tenure, Jiang Yuan was enough to connect the city between Zhaozhou City and Liaodong.

The key to Jiang Yuan’s attention is the land circled in triangular shapes of the three cities of Zhaozhou, Songyin and Jilin. From Jilin to Songyin is Changbai Mountain, and from Zhaozhou to Songyin is Songhua River.

However, the Songhua River flows northwest from Jilin, turning to the east to the west of Zhaozhou City. This is part of Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province now.

It was also transformed into the jurisdiction of Liaodong Province.

Further north, there is the Nuergandus Division, which is still in charge of the organization, but it has occupied a large amount of land by the two organizations of Liaodong and Haixi. To the northwest is the Mobei Dushi, which is under the jurisdiction of the Five Guards of Longcheng. To the southwest, it is under the jurisdiction of the Monan Governor.

This is a governor specially set up by Zhu Qizhen.

Governors Daning, Kaiping, Dongsheng and other places.

This position is also temporary.

Zhu Qizhen is still uncertain about what to do in the Mongolian area in the south of the desert, whether to draw out a province, or be affiliated with Shanxi or Liaodong respectively.

This matter can be put aside first.

After all, although the Ming Dynasty's rule on the grassland has made some progress, it is not yet deeply rooted in people's hearts.

When the Daming Chidao transportation network is spread all over the three places, there are grazing sites for settlement along the Chidao. This is the time when the three places are truly classified into a province.

The two major ministers added by Zhu Qizhen are also different from before.

The principle that Zhu Qizhen added before was to find ways to choose someone who could do things obediently and all officials were willing to agree. But this time, Zhu Qizhen was abnormal and promoted all the old ministers, and each one was more temperate than the other.

One is Wang Wen, who was promoted from the position of Minister of Personnel.

The other is Liu Qiu, who has been in the Censorate for more than ten years.

Speaking of which, although Wang Wen is an old minister and a capable minister, he has done it all. He is extremely capable and can be entrusted with great things, but what really makes Zhu Qizhen feel a little headache is Liu Qiu.

Liu Qiu has been in the Censorate for more than ten years and has made many frank comments and is well-known all over the world. To be honest, even Yu Qian's reputation and his reputation are just between him.

It’s nothing more than Yu Qian doing practical things and his reputation is mostly in various places. Liu Qiu spoke for the Shilin in the world, and his reputation is mostly in the Shilin.

If you really trust your prestige, Liu Qiu could have entered the cabinet many years ago.

However, Zhu Qizhen felt that after Liu Qiu entered the cabinet, he might delay his work, so he always put Liu Qiu in the position of the Censorate to supervise the world. Liu Qiu did a good job.

But now, this is one time and another.

Zhu Qizhen discovered something more and more. Some things can be done by themselves. For example, if you fight with Wasai to the end, as long as the military supports him, Zhu Qizhen can completely leave the civil servants aside.

But if the reform continues to do this, it is seeking death.

Even if Zhu Qizhen used his prestige to suppress this matter, he would not be able to escape the political crisis in the end, or he would forcibly turn the reform into a party struggle.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen changed his course and would rather summon all the most stubborn opponents into the cabinet, find a way to unify his thinking first, and try to make most people in the court sincerely and willing to implement Zhu Qizhen's new policy.

If this doesn't work, it's not too late to think about other methods.

It can be regarded as a polite first and then a soldier.

However, Zhu Qizhen felt very difficult. However, Zhu Qizhen felt that with the White Lotus Sect Li Tianbao rebelling, Zhu Qizhen finally won the first game with difficulty.

The revision of the Ming Dynasty law has become inevitable because the cabinet cannot bear it. Because of this stalemate in the court, normal government affairs in various places have been greatly affected.

There will inevitably be concessions.
