Chapter 1585 Political Affairs Hall Nine

In May, the beginning of summer, the summer sun is shining brightly, and the temperature in the air is gradually rising.

In the morning, after breakfast, Mu Jing didn't even put on his coat, but just put on a white jade robe and went out. In fact, he wanted to wear something simpler.

Unfortunately, etiquette does not allow.

After all, people who become emperors still have to care about their image. The image of this era is that people should dress properly, and those who wear strange clothes will be beaten and killed.

But it was so hot, it was only a short while, and the back was already drenched with sweat.

These days, there is no air conditioner.

However, the ecological environment of this era is good, and Yudu is surrounded by green mountains and green waters. Standing on a nine-story building and opening the windows makes it more breathable.

In the office cabinet room, there was no stuffy atmosphere at all.

This is the beauty of Yudu.

Lidu here is still good.

As the emperor, Mu Jing is quite competent. He is lazy because he doesn't want to work overtime, and he won't shirk what he should do.

It is the job of the emperor to correct the playbook.

These memorials, some from the local area, some from the military, and those that can be placed on his books are not simple and ordinary things, and basically have something to do with the development of imperial court policies.

His duty is to control the big ship of the imperial court, and to grasp the direction when it is used on the bitter sea.

This is the easiest.

But also the hardest thing.

Because one of his mistakes can make the entire imperial court and countless people of Ming Dynasty pay the bill, and one of his good strategies can benefit all the people of Ming Dynasty.

He flipped through a few copies of the Privy Council Report that he had just received, and his eyes became much more dignified.

Military expansion is a big project.

And now there is still a lot of controversy in the court, but under the authorization of Mujing, and with the financial support of Mingfeng Bank, it has already started.

This time Mujing is a large-scale military expansion.

Once it starts, a storm will inevitably form.

This is not a small disturbance. The military force that needs to be expanded is very large, and a lot of recruits are needed. Naturally, it will disturb the local area, and disturbing the local area will disturb the court.

If it hadn't been for the sudden beating of the Zhengshitang by Mu Jing during this period of time, I'm afraid he would have already reacted, and now the personnel of the Zhengshitang has been decided.

I'm afraid I will react to this matter soon.

He has to move faster.

The matter of the court meeting cannot be pushed forward, as long as the court meeting is passed as soon as possible, then the dark will become bright, and the iron must be struck while it is hot, and while Hu Zhao's spirit is suppressed during this period, he can just fish in troubled waters .

When they thought that their attention was only on the New Deal and that the military expansion had been completed quietly, this was his best idea.

Of course, it's not that simple, there are still many smart people in the court, they will quickly see through Mu Jing's intentions, and then they will find a way to deal with it.

Now the imperial court of Ming Dynasty is healthy, it is not monotonous, and the struggle is still there, but there is a bottom line. Even if a minister like Liu Jin steps down, it is very stable.

This is also the Ming court that Mu Jing wants to see, if it is really harmonious, he has to consider whether someone is colluding.

"Zhanhu, Modao, Wuxi, Feiniao, Chongshan, are they all expanding into an army?"

Song Shan looked at the playbook written by Xi Zhicai, but he had some thoughts.

The combat effectiveness of the independent combat battalion is already strong. As long as recruits are recruited and trained, the time to form combat effectiveness will be much shorter.

This is undoubtedly a better proposal.

It's just Mo Dao.

He still hesitated to establish a Modao army. The establishment of this kind of heavily armed army is very expensive, even more expensive than cavalry.

Moreover, once the artillery army has formed combat effectiveness, it is hard to say whether there will be a market for the Modao soldiers who have just begun to stand out on the battlefield of cold weapons.

"allow!"

Mujing thought about it and decided to agree.

After he reviewed it, he would send it to the Privy Council immediately. In addition, he would order Zhang Liao to prepare a detailed plan for military expansion as soon as possible.

Then he readjusted several divisions under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, even the Ministry of War.

The establishment of the Privy Council has made some of the Ministry of War useless, but the existence of the Ministry of War can serve as a function of restraining the Privy Council.

Likewise, it is possible to build a theoretical mod as well.

The Ministry of War still has a lot to do.

........................

All morning, he dealt with the military's memorials, one after another, reviewed them, and then sent them back. After those who refused were sent back, some suggestions had to be seconded.

On top of expanding the army, Mu Jing can't do much. The rest depends on the performance of Huang Zhong, Xi Zhicai, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Ren.

As the pillars of the Ming army, these people supported the structure of the entire Ming army, and they will give the greatest responsibility for the fighting power of the Ming army.

Whether they can unify the world in the future, hope is also built on them.

After lunch, Mu Jing rested in Daming Palace for an hour, and then got up to work again. The Zhengshi Hall has been very chaotic recently, so he has a lot of memorials to read.

"Reform?"

Mu Jing flipped through a notebook, his eyes flashed with surprise, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised a smile: "Old Taishan, you have also learned to be cunning!"

This is using your own tricks to deal with yourself.

This old Mount Tai is not simple at all.

If he was allowed to complete the restructuring of the Zhengshitang, he would probably have the power of personnel in his hands, which might not be a good thing.

Liu Jin has a flaw, but Cai Yong does not. This person has the same self-discipline as Hu Zhao, and has no direction to attack. At that time, Mu Jing had no reason to suppress him.

And I still lifted him up by myself, if I tried to plot against him again, it would be tantamount to hitting myself in the face, and I don't know how many people laughed at me.

"Zhongheng!"

"exist!"

"Secretly pass on Sima Shangshu!" Mu Jing ordered gloomyly.

"Yes!"

Huo Yu handed over his orders and asked a close friend to run errands in person, and went to the Ministry of Rites to invite Sima Hui over.

"Chen, Sima Hui, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Sima Hui walked in and saluted respectfully.

"Recently in the Ministry of Rites, are you still handy?" Mu Jing asked caringly.

Sima Hui was a white man who suddenly became an official. He is the Minister of Rites. It is certain that he is not familiar with him, but if it is said that he can't play well, that is not necessarily the case.

"I still need some time!" Sima Hui didn't complain, nor was he modest, but said very down-to-earth: "Give me a few more months, and I will be able to govern the universe of the Ministry of Rites!"

Cai Yong is at the same level as him, even above him, the Ministry of Rites built by Cai Yong, if he wants to take over, even if Cai Yong doesn't get in the way, it will take a long time for him.

And there is a Shi Xie.

If Shi Xie said that he had no hope of reaching the top, that would be impossible, and he would be cut off. Sima Hui was not sure if such a cut off would make him hold a grudge.

A gentleman is in Shilin, in the officialdom, 90.00% of them are villains, but all gentlemen are basically tossing around at the bottom, and it is difficult to climb up.

"Not urgent!"

Mu Jing smiled slightly, and then handed a copy of the playbook to Sima Hui: "Shangshu Sima, take a look at the playbook. Cai Xiangzuo has reported it. Do you have any ideas about his proposal?"

Sima Hui looked at the playbook, and at the first glance, he felt that his back was a little bright. Compared with Hu Zhao and Cai Yong, the court ministers, he felt that his reputation in the scholarly forest alongside them was a blank sheet of paper. Their rank is much higher than their own.

"Cai Xiang should hope that through this move, he will be in charge of the political affairs hall. As long as he wins the power of personnel, with his ability and prestige, no one will oppose him!"

Sima Hui saw through the core at a glance, but so what if he saw through, Cai Yong was a conspiracy, not a conspiracy, and told them openly that he wanted to take charge of the Zhengshitang.

"Then do you think I should object?" Mu Jing asked.

"Your Majesty has no objection!"

Sima Hui said very directly: "The new policy is based on the reform of the system. Your Majesty's proposal and your majesty's hope. If your majesty opposes it, it is undoubtedly telling the world that what your majesty proposes is not for the people, the country, or the court, but for power. It's just a struggle, this is a conspiracy, His Majesty will not allow it!"

"rational!"

Mu Jing smiled, it was hard for Cai Yong to come up with this proposal, but he was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Prime Minister Cai visited Liu Xiang in person before entering the Political Affairs Hall. This policy, I guess, was not planned by Cai Xiang, but by Liu Xiang. It is always Liu Xiang, and only Liu Xiang knows how to get Cai Xiang to take charge of the political affairs hall as quickly as possible!"

Sima Hui said in a low voice.

"If it's Liu Jin, I'm afraid things won't be easy. No, we should have underestimated Liu Jin. I'm afraid he has discovered some clues. He wants to compete with me for time. Let's see if it's me or old man Cai who is in charge of political affairs. Hurry up and force our Weng and son-in-law to fight against each other!" Mu Jing's mind was clear, and he quickly figured it out: "I stabbed him with a knife, and he will return it after all, so it can be regarded as a relationship!"

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Sima Hui's reaction was slow.

"He is targeting the New Deal!"

Mu Jing said: "It seems that we want to check the household registration, but we can't cover it with paper. It should be that he knows something, so he reminded old man Cai!"

"The Household Registration Department has been established, and it is directly under the Ministry of Rites. Moreover, Mr. De directly enlisted some educated people from Jingxiang to secretly form the Si Ya. This matter has always been kept secret!"

Sima Hui's pupils have changed color a little. He has become a minion of the Ming Dynasty, and he is not afraid of losing his so-called reputation. He has a good reputation as a scholar, but he is even more loyal to his aspirations.

He is well aware of how much turmoil the household registration and population counts will bring to the world, but he insists that this is a good policy that can make the Ming Dynasty more stable and the world peaceful for countless years.

So he worked very hard to do it.

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world!"

Mu Jing said in a low voice: "Since the political affairs hall is going to be restructured and reorganized, I will allow them. At this time, we have to buy time. The Household Registration Department will directly name it, check the population of the world, rebuild the household registration system, and give the people of Ming Dynasty a Proper identities are our duty, and if we die, we cannot take half a step back!"

"Yes!"

Sima Hui bowed his hands to accept the order, and said: "I will go back now, and immediately speed up my hands and feet, first complete the preparations, and then immediately go to the political affairs hall!"

"Ok!"

Mu Jing nodded, and then in front of Sima Hui, personally approved this memorial: "You hand it to Cai Xiang personally and tell him that I have agreed, but whether he can make it depends on his own ability, and in addition In exchange, he must, as the head of the political affairs hall, allow the Ministry of Rites to establish a household registration department, allow the Ministry of Rites to check the population of the world, register the names of the people of the world, and establish household registration!"

"Yes!" Sima Hui held the heavy notebook, and after saluting, he turned and left. His movements were clean and neat. Although he was not young, he was full of energy.

........................

Cai Yong has entered the seventh floor, the official office of the Zhengshitang.

Sitting in the spacious principal's office room of the Political Affairs Hall, he paced back and forth a little bit, feeling uneasy, and got a plan from Liu Jin. Then he spent more than ten days thinking about the plan, and then played.

The memorandum is uploaded, but he really dare not say whether he will review it or not.

"My lord, my lord, Minister of Rites, please see me!" A voice came from outside the door.

"Enter!"

Hearing this, Cai Yong tidied up his robes, calmed down, restored a calm look on his face, and received Sima Hui, Minister of Rites.

As a fellow scholar, Cai Yong was very polite to Sima Hui.

But Sima Hui was cautious in his words and deeds. He came in and saluted first: "My subordinate, Sima Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, pays homage to Prime Minister Cai!"

Cai Yong is the prime minister.

Those who can enter the Zhaoming Pavilion to take power are all the prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and they can all be called prime ministers.

Although Sima Hui is an expensive heavenly official, he is still far behind the prime minister of Zhaoming Pavilion, and Cai Yong is still the prime minister on the right and the second prime minister of Zhaoming Pavilion.

"Sima Gong doesn't need to be too polite. You and I are officials in the court. Although you have to abide by court etiquette, sometimes you don't need to be so restrained!" Cai Yong smiled slightly and asked Sima Hui to sit down.

"This subordinate came here to report something important!" Sima Hui took this as a polite statement and didn't dare to take it seriously, otherwise he wouldn't know how he died.

"Please tell me!" Cai Yong narrowed his eyes.

"This is the proposal of the Ministry of Rites to establish a household registration department for the people of tomorrow, register names and registers, and establish household registrations for easy management and convenience for the world!" Sima Hui has already written a memorial, just send it up.

"Registration Department?"

Cai Yong sighed, and Liu Jin guessed right, the emperor wanted tea.

"Shangshu Sima!" Cai Yong's address changed, and he asked in a low voice, "You know how turbulent this will be to the world!"

"The subordinates know, but as long as it is for the good of the Ming Dynasty, anything can be done, and the subordinates will die!" Sima Hui said righteously.

Cai Yong's pupils tightened. He looked at Sima Hui firmly, and understood that there was no turning point in this matter. In fact, he also understood in his heart that this was right, but...

"Cai Xiang, just now I went to report to His Majesty, and His Majesty asked me to bring Cai Xiang a copy of the memorial by the way!" Sima Hui threw out the bait.

"allow!"

Cai Yong saw that the memorial for the reform of the Zhengshitang had been reviewed and was still in Sima Hui's hands, and he suddenly understood.

He hesitated.

He laughed: "Since counting the household registration is a good thing, I will allow it. I also ask Sima Shangshu to be careful and not to act too hastily!"

"Thank you Caixiang!"

Sima Hui breathed a sigh of relief.
