Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 300
"Yuanfu, you said that His Majesty summoned us, and even summoned the ministers from the General Aircraft Department. What exactly is it?"

Cheng Jiming frowned slightly, walked side by side with Han Yan, and said in a low voice: "In the past few days, His Majesty has frequently summoned the ministers of the court and the Central Committee, and will go to the Military Aircraft Department from time to time.

On the contrary, there are very few people who come to the Wenhua Palace to manage politics. Is the emperor really delegating power to the cabinet? "

"For what, Bensuke doesn't know."

Han Yu said as he walked, "However, the matter of delegating power, I think it seems real. In the past few days, all the proposals made by my cabinet have been approved by the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Thinking about what Wen Tiren said, you can guess in your heart that the emperor wants to use Wen Tiren's mouth to express what is in his heart. "

"..."

Cheng Jiming was silent. The situation in the country these days seems to be stable, but there are hidden turmoil, especially the responsibility system and the accountability system, which have begun to be implemented in the cabinet. Although they are tied to the shackles, their positions are stable. up.

Even if the gang of speech officials and censors in Ke Dao are calm and peaceful, no matter how big the disturbance is in the court, as long as they don't do something wrong and cause chaos in the court, the cabinet ministers involved don't need to ask for help at all. resignation.

In a sense, the emperor strengthened the power of the cabinet.

"Mr. Bi Ge, there are some things about the warehouse. I want to discuss with you. There may be some conflicts with the matters you have decided."

"Mr. Xu Ge, what are the details involved? There are still many things in the household department. If it involves..."

On the way to Qianqing Palace, cabinet ministers like Bi Ziyan and Xu Guangqi, and military ministers like Wang Qia and Zhou Yanru gathered in small groups and headed towards Dongnuange.

Regarding the temporary summoning of the emperor, everyone was unclear about what it was for.

But everyone knew that the Son of Heaven must have something important to discuss with them, otherwise there would never be such a commotion.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen did have a major event, and he wanted to discuss it with the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department to facilitate this matter.

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

"Excuse me."

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, looking at the cabinet and ministers of the military aircraft department in front of him, with a calm expression, thinking about how to explain it.

"Recently, with the concerted efforts of all ministers, the situation in the country has become increasingly stable."

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and said: "Today, I specially summoned the ministers to come over, because there is something I want to discuss with the ministers, which is related to Liaodong."

"..."

Han Yu, Wang Qia, and the others showed different expressions when they heard the words, and they were all wondering in their hearts what the emperor's words actually involved.

After all, before this, the emperor had stated that the matter involving counter-rebellion would be under the control of the Military Aircraft Department in the future. When there was no rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, then we would discuss the abolition of the Military Aircraft Department.

"Now Sun Qing is out of Liaodong, Lu Qing is the governor of Jiliao, Yuan Qing is the governor of Shandong, and Sun Yuanhua is the governor of Denglai."

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The layout around Liaodong has been clarified, but I think there are still some problems in Tianjin.

Tianjin is the thoroughfare of Northern Zhili, an important place for water transportation, and an important part of stabilizing the stability of Northern Zhili.

But at the same time, Tianjin is also an important part of the country's pacification of rebellion and establishment of captives. When necessary, the soldiers and horses of Tianjin's three guards need to cross the sea by boat to rush to Liaoqian to help.

However, after reading the memorials in recent years, as well as the various performances of Tianjin, I found that the positioning of Tianjin by Guochao has put the cart before the horse.

The authority is chaotic, one head is more important than the other, and even in some emergencies, there is still a situation of not knowing who to listen to, which is very bad. "

Han Yu, Wang Qia, the ministers of the cabinet and military aircraft department glanced at each other, and they understood that the emperor was planning to attack Tianjin.

But they don't know exactly how to start.

Is the governor of Tianjin to be replaced?

Or replace the general officer in Tianjin?
Or change Tianjin military equipment?
As for the permanent Tianjin Sanwei, it was not within their consideration at all.

"I'll make it clear."

Seeing the different expressions of the crowd, but no one spoke, Emperor Chongzhen stood up and walked towards Hanguo and the others with a serious expression: "Tianjin is a very important place, and it is very important to assist Liaoqian in suppressing the rebellion. , but it is also important to do a good job in local governance.

Especially Tianjin is an important place for water transportation.

If there is a problem with the water transportation, it will affect the whole of Beizhili, and even indirectly affect Liaoqian.

This is very detrimental to the country.

Therefore, I plan to withdraw the guards and set up state affairs in Tianjin, and establish Tianjin Zhili Prefecture. Except for Tianjin Sanwei, all counties from Wuqing County to Nanpi County will be assigned to Tianjin Zhili Prefecture.

At the same time, the governor of Tianjin, the chief military officer of Tianjin, and the military guard of Tianjin were abolished.

The permanent post of Tianjin General, who is in charge of military affairs, what do you think of my thoughts? "

"Your Majesty can't!"

Hearing this, Cheng Jiming stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Tianjin Zhili prefecture is specially established, and Tianjin generals are permanently established. This is unprecedented in our dynasty.

If this is true, I don't know what kind of commotion will be caused by the three guards in Tianjin. If there is a battalion roar and eventually turns into a mutiny, it will have a great impact on the water transportation and the peace of the Liao Dynasty.

Besides, the governor of Tianjin..."

"Chengqing, can't you come up with some novel rhetoric?"

Emperor Chongzhen interrupted: "I only made such a decision considering the water transportation and peace affairs in Liao Dynasty. Let's see what Tianjin is like now.

There is nothing outstanding in the place, and the guards and the army can be said to be useless!

If the country ignores such an important place, then if it goes on like this, no matter where there is a problem, it will cause a catastrophe! "

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen wanted to set up Zhili Prefecture in Tianjin and set up Tianjin Generals was to seize Tianjin, appoint good ministers and loyal generals, and go to Tianjin.

On the one hand, it operates the basic market, on the one hand, it prepares for the subsequent opening of the sea, and on the other hand, it also improves the water transportation and the peace of Liao.

Tianjin is too important a place, and it must be given heavier responsibilities and burdens in order to complete the follow-up plans.

At present, the inner court has changed a lot and is busy doing various things.

That corresponds.

The outer dynasty can't be peaceful all the time. It's good for defending the imperial power and operating the basic market by constantly tossing about some things and hitting the civil servants.

"I've made up my mind!"

Looking at the people in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "The prefect of Zhili Prefecture in Tianjin will be replaced by Chen Yansheng of Shuntian Prefecture, and the cabinet will issue an order.

Li Mingzhong took over the position of General Tianjin, and the Military Aircraft Department issued an order.

The governor of Tianjin, the general officer of Tianjin, etc., have been transferred at the discretion of the Secretary, so let's let this matter go, and the cabinet and military aircraft department should do it immediately. "
