Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1536 The first court push

"Of the three artisans who were looted, two died and one remained!" Mu Jing said to Ma Su.

"who is it?"

Ma Su asked quickly.

"Wang Tong!"

"It's him?" Ma Su's complexion became even uglier.

"what happened?"

"Half of my apprentice!" Ma Su's face was gloomy, but he hesitated in speaking: "This man is relatively young, although he doesn't have much knowledge, but he is very talented in the art of ink, and I imparted a lot of knowledge to him. He, and..."

"Say!"

"He may know a lot about the red cannon. Although he has not participated in the research, but..." Ma Su said: "I should have seen a lot of blueprints somewhere!"

"Damn!"

At this time, Mu Jing's face had turned extremely dark.

The matter has come to this point, he is angry, but there is nothing he can do, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is so huge and the sea of ​​people is so vast, if they had planned it earlier, they would not be able to catch people at all.

"Long Kong, how is the investigation at your Academy of Sciences going?" Mu Jing asked with a suppressed breath.

"A few people have been found to have resold some information, but most of it is commercial information, such as our new research glass, second-generation watch research, these news that can be turned into money, are all traded with those merchants, for armament research On the one hand, there are no possible targets for the time being, and it has already made people's hearts shine, and many projects have problems, and the project of the Qiya Building Ship jointly developed by us and the Military Industry Department has been put on hold!"

Ma Su told Mu Jing in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although we know that there may be some people with different opinions, this matter cannot be pursued any further, otherwise..."

He didn't say the result, but Mujing knew what it meant.

Mu Jing hesitated for a moment, and said: "Okay, I will let Jing Wusi stop, but from today, Jing Wusi will independently establish a banner guard in the Academy of Science and Technology!"

As for the secrecy work of the Academy of Science and Technology and the Department of Military Industry, it is still not enough, so this time, he did the opposite, not doing it secretly, but doing it positively.

Put the confidentiality work directly on the bright side to strengthen the security of these military research.

"Your Majesty, this is just an individual matter. Our previous secrecy work was pretty good, and there are soldiers guarding around, so we don't need Jing Wusi's guard?"

Ma Su was still reluctant to allow such a notorious yamen as Jing Wusi to enter the Academy of Science and Technology, so he was a little embarrassed.

"must!"

Mu Jing took a deep breath. One mistake can be tolerated, but the second mistake is not allowed. He told Ma Su, "How many secrets are there in the Institute of Science and Technology, outsiders don't know, you and I know, whether it's from military equipment, It is still a civilian thing, and the things in the Academy of Science and Technology are priceless, we can't take it lightly again, but I can guarantee that they will not let them harass your researchers in any way."

"it is good!"

Ma Su was no longer refusing.

This matter is so settled.

………………

For the next two days, Tan Zong and Zhang Huo joined forces to pursue, but there was no progress. It was too difficult to find a few people in this vast crowd.

The development of this incident made Mu Jing feel very upset.

Although it is not a big deal, even if the gunpowder formula is really lost, it is not a big deal if they take it away and let them develop it.

Looking at the current era, the princes of the Han Dynasty, if they want to catch up with the development level of Ming Dynasty's weapons and equipment, they are at least a few hundred years away.

Gunpowder formulas are not uncommon since ancient times, but the red cannon took thousands of years to take shape.

The configuration of gunpowder alone will not help them much. Of course, it will help them develop better on the road to the same end.

If the fight really started, they would not lose because of it, but even if the Ming army won, they would at least suffer a big loss on the battlefield. After all, if there is gunpowder, there must be explosives. It really made them stockpile several tons of explosives. It is enough to pull the Ming army to die together.

This is what makes Mujing particularly angry. He made wedding dresses for these people, and the appearance of powerful thermal weapons has changed the mode of war.

………………

In the first year of Taiwu, the first snow fell in Yudu without any warning. The fluttering snowflakes, a piece of white, seemed to cover the whole Yudu.

Daming Palace, a nine-story building stands tall, as if a majestic giant dragon is raising its head and roaring towards the sky. Every citizen who walks through Sun Moon Street will subconsciously look up.

Daming is different from the previous dynasty. The former dynasty kept the imperial palace tightly, but the imperial palace of Daming is placed in front of everyone, as if everyone can see it directly.

Eight floors, Zhaoming Pavilion.

Today's Zhaoming Pavilion is a bit serious. It is a huge conference hall that can accommodate more than a hundred people. There is a large round table in the middle, and there are dozens of seats on the left and right sides.

And in this hall, it was full of courtiers of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past few days since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, every department has been very busy. With the establishment of the new dynasty, although there is no need to push back to start over after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, but just completing some establishments is enough for every department to be busy. The feet are out of the sky.

Originally, only ministers who participated in politics could participate in the Zhaoming Pavilion meeting, but today is special.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Jing began to advance by leaps and bounds on the road of the New Deal. He promoted a policy called Ting Tui.

The so-called Ting Tui was actually seen by Mu Jing from the Zhu Ming Dynasty in history.

The official system of the Ming and Qing Dynasties was already very, very extreme in the feudal era. The political system in the feudal dynasty itself had great limitations, and it was impossible to be as democratic as the later celestial dynasties.

Under this kind of regime, the appearance of Ting Tui is definitely a dawn.

The so-called court push means that whenever the court encounters important political affairs, or when there is a vacancy for civil and military ministers, the emperor will order a meeting of court officials to discuss with each other, weigh it properly, and then report to the emperor to make a decision. Those who research and discuss are called court discussions, and those who make proposals about personnel promotion and appointment are called court recommendations.

Mu Jing also used this method in Mu Ming's political system, and added a court push to the protection of Zhaoming Pavilion, which would be of great benefit to the future development.

The fact that Mu Jing was able to get to this point does not mean how smart he is, nor how deep his city is, but because he has 2000 years of feudal history as a reference.

But the times are different after all. Today's Mujing is just crossing the river by feeling the stones. He is also trying to find out what kind of political system is suitable for this era and can promote the development of Ming Dynasty.

Tingtui was one of his experiments.

Let's see if this set can take root and sprout in the soil in this era, and bring the Ming Dynasty to a better development direction.

As the emperor, Mu Jing participated in the court push for Zhaoming Pavilion to participate in politics. He also had the right to veto the court push.

Of course, anyone who is familiar with the veto right knows that this right is basically supported when you have already conceded defeat.

The remaining six seats in Zhaoming Pavilion participated in politics, and they all have two votes. In addition, there are ministers from various ministries, and several Zuo Shilang who are below the ministers also participated, and each of them has one vote. .

In addition, the Privy Council also participated in the court promotion, including the Privy Council's Privy Councilors and Deputy Privy Councilors, six or seven of them participated in the court promotion.

The topic of Ting's push is about candidates for Zhaoming Pavilion to participate in politics.

Everyone in the Ming court knew that the Zhaoming Pavilion was the central nervous system of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Ming Dynasty, and each department belonged to each organ. No matter how powerful the force was, it must accept the command of the head.

Therefore, when he was an official in the Ming Dynasty and joined the army, regardless of whether he was civil or military, his goal was to be able to join the cabinet and participate in politics. As long as he could become the elder of the Zhaoming Pavilion, he would have been appointed as a marquis and worshiped as a minister. The real power of a minister had reached the pinnacle of the Ming court.

"There are now seven seats in the Zhaoming Pavilion participating in politics, but the affairs of the Ming Dynasty will become more and more complicated. Whether it is external warfare or internal development, more talents are needed to take charge of the universe!"

Hu Zhao is the left chancellor, and he personally presided over this court push: "The purpose of our convening the ministers this time is to recommend good talents to enter Zhaoming Pavilion to participate in politics!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes flickered on the left and right.

Shangshu has the power to join the cabinet.

Regardless of whether it is a major or a small department, those who rank as ministers basically have this power. A minister, like a heavenly official, is more than enough to join the cabinet and participate in politics, no matter in terms of ability or status.

"I believe in one thing, the right is more helpful than the wrong, so every one of you who participates in the court promotion has a place that can be nominated for the cabinet!"

Mujing opened his mouth when the time was right, smiled slightly, and said, "Whoever gets the most votes can enter the cabinet. This time, two people are selected to participate in politics, so this time the court recommends that No. 2 with the most votes will enter the cabinet and participate in politics!"

He told you plainly that you can push people, as long as you have the confidence to push them up casually, whether you can pass the court push depends on your own ability.

"Report to Your Majesty, my subordinates recommended Bao Shangshu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Bao Shangshu has worked hard for my Ming Dynasty for more than ten years. He has governed the local area and managed the government. His statement is not obvious, but he has made great achievements. He should join the cabinet and participate in politics!"

Some people can't wait to speak.

Mu Jing cast a sideways glance at Hu Zhao: You are in a hurry.

Hu Zhao didn't change his face: If you don't hurry up, I can still give you a chance to make trouble. First, we have saved a seat, and then we will fight slowly.

Mu Jing understood what he meant, he was trying to play tricks on Bao Su's affairs, and he would be caught seven inches at that time, so he had to compromise on Kuai Liang's vote to join the cabinet.

Mujing can do this. This is what must be defended when attacking. It is not to beat you at all, but to threaten you.

Hu Zhao's mind is very sharp.

"continue!"

Mu Jing smiled faintly, actually he was a bit worried in his heart, although today's Ting Tui was promoted by himself, it may not be able to make the result as he wished.

Which one of these ministers is not thoughtful.

"I recommend Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Agriculture!" Someone stood up again at this time, and said with awe-inspiring righteousness: "Liu Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and manages the world's agriculture. He has made great achievements in storing grain and grass for my Ming Dynasty over the years. Agricultural development is fundamental. Food is the foundation of the people's peace, and Liu Shangshu will be able to contribute to the Ming Dynasty even better if he enters the cabinet and participates in politics!"

It was no surprise that Liu Ling was recommended.

After all, Liu Ling was the number one figure in Daming. Over the years, he had planted sorghum to increase the yield per mu, and opened up an untold amount of wasteland. The Ming army was able to attack smoothly. On the one hand, it relied on good equipment, and on the other hand, it had no food. Worry about the future, how many generals of the Ming army will be grateful to Liu Ling.

Mu Jing glanced at Liu Ling, he was sitting calmly in his seat, although he was qualified to join the cabinet, but this time he knew in his heart that basically the chances were not great, so he was very stable.

Mu Jing smiled.

Then someone elected two more people, but these two people are both from the military, and the Privy Council also has the power to participate in politics. Mu Jing will not learn from the Song and Ming dynasties in history. The more weakened, no matter how smart civil servants are, they can do military affairs and plan thousands of miles away, but they will never be able to lead troops in battle. This imperial court must have a place for warriors.

Zhang Liao was the first general elected.

After the establishment of the dynasty, the top general was the highest position among the generals, not only Huang Zhong alone, but also several newcomers, Zhang Liao was only one.

In addition, there is Gan Ning.

Gan Ning commanded the water army, destroyed Jianye Capital, was as famous as a tiger, made great achievements, and was named a general, which is also a matter of course.

However, pushing for cabinet entry would be accompanied by running away, basically it is not very possible.

Even Zhang Liao is hopeful.

It's not that he can't, but that at present, there is no chance for him, and he will not be the one that the court needs to join the cabinet, because this time entering the cabinet is more of a contest between the New Deal and the Conservative Party.

In the end, it was Zongzheng Temple's recommendation of the Four Treasures of Zongzhengmu. As Zongzhengsi, he also had the right to participate in the court promotion. As Mujing's vanguard, he was naturally the most wanted person to promote Mujing.

"The minister recommended Kuai Liang, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to join the cabinet to participate in politics!"

What Mu Sibao said was very simple, very direct, and a little bit arrogant. This is the power and influence of a great uncle of the royal family.

When Cai Yong took over the Ministry of Rites, Zuodu Censor would naturally give way to Kuai Liang. Kuai Liang's succession as Zuodu Censor was a matter of great importance, and even Hu Zhao couldn't help it.

"Let's start voting!"

Mu Jing gently tapped the countertop.

Voting is very simple, by secret ballot, this is the first time I've played Tingtui, Mu Jing can't go too far, it's a bit too much to put people directly on the stage.

So secret ballot is the best way.

Each of them has a check in their hands, which will say whether they support or not. Every time they vote, they can just vote in the box.

There are as many candidates as there are votes.

The one with the most votes wins.

Although Hu Zhao and Mu Jing are sitting securely, no one knows what the people below are thinking. What Hu Zhao is worried about is whether Bao Su can join the cabinet, but what Mu Jing is worried about is that even if he tries his best to persuade Some people don't know whether Kuai Liang can be admitted to the cabinet smoothly.

The entire court push is going on in an orderly and undisturbed manner.

It was not until the afternoon that the results came out.

The result was actually similar to what Mujing and Hu Zhaocai Yong had expected, but this time, Hu Zhaoke and Caiyong saw some better opportunities.

In their view, Ting Tui is a novel way of playing. The power of the ministers is to restrain the imperial power. Mu Jing personally released this weapon, but they are a little confused about what Mu Jing is thinking.

So even if they think this is a good way to play, they still have to work hard.
