Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, there was a deathly silence.

Even Wen Tiren from the cabinet and Zhou Yanru from the Military Aircraft Department never thought about the emperor, it would be too big a deal to do something like this.

Governor Ji Liao.

Governor Shuntian.

Governor of Baoding.

Governor of Xuanfu.

Perhaps the above-mentioned officials overlap in some functions and powers, but in other matters, they have their own division of labor and are not involved with each other.

Originally on the Tianjin side, there was also a Tianjin governor and a Tianjin general officer.

However, the Tianjin Zhili prefecture specially set up by the emperor called for the removal of all the above-mentioned two positions. This has caused quite a lot of discussion and disturbance between the government and the opposition.

"Your Majesty, can this matter be discussed in the long run?"

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Han Yu, stepped forward, with a worried expression on his face, bowed his head and saluted and said: "Recklessly dismissing all the governors and governors, and setting up a special governor of Zhili, this can be said to affect the whole of the country. .

The land of the Jimiyong Sanxie, including Changping, Xuanfu Town, etc., is under the control of different governors and governors, and the government offices set up should include..."

Han Yu was talking here, and Emperor Chongzhen listened casually.

Emperor Chongzhen was very clear about what Han Yu said.

The dismissal of Governor Jiliao, Governor Shuntian, etc., and the appointment of Governor Zhili are not just lip service, but it is as simple as talking about it.

The local government offices involved in this, the corresponding division of powers, including the border towns and key passes that defend the capital, can be said to be extremely numerous.

From the side of the army guarding the border alone, tens of thousands of people are involved.

Concentrate such a heavy power in the hands of one person, and it is still in the special boundary of Beizhili. If any evil thoughts arise or other thoughts arise, it is beyond Da Ming's ability to bear.

Perhaps Emperor Chongzhen would have to think carefully about the candidates for the governor of Zhili in the future, but there was no need to think too much about Lu Xiangsheng's appointment.

"It's just one hair that moves the whole body, it's true."

After Han Yu finished speaking, seeing Wang Qia and others, he also wanted to step forward to make a statement, and Emperor Chongzhen said: "But the current special situation.

If the country does not adjust and does not integrate Beizhili, how can the situation be stabilized?
In terms of Jimiyong Sanxie, as well as Xuanfu Town, Changping, Yanqing and other places, apart from the governor of Jiliao and the governor of Xuanfu, Shuntian obeyed this side and could also share some powers.

It is obviously the overall border defense that defends Gyeonggi, but it is divided into three parts, so it can be managed a little.

Don't the Zhu Qing's family feel that it is very dangerous to make people go out of many schools? "

There is no threat of war.

There are no bandits making trouble.

Then Xiao Gui and Cao Sui are not impossible.

However, the current situation cannot allow Emperor Chongzhen to sit idly by.

No matter how the cabinet headed by Han Yu, the military aircraft department headed by Wang Qia, including the heavenly official Wang Yongguang from the Ministry of Officials persuaded himself to think long-term.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards the special governor of Zhili was resolute and beyond doubt.

Even if it arouses strong opposition from the ruling and opposition parties of Ming Dynasty, this matter must be done.

If it can't be done now, it will be even more impossible in the future.

"I have made up my mind to set up a special governor of Zhili. It must be done, and it must be done safely."

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Aiming at the garrison of Gongwei Gyeonggi, the military aircraft department was deployed to reconstruct the defense area, and the jurisdictions of the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, deputy generals, and generals were clearly defined.

Fully implement the responsibility of keeping the soil.

The commander-in-chief of each place is directly responsible to the governor of Zhili.

Each deputy commander-in-chief is directly responsible to each commander-in-chief.

And so on.

If there is any problem in the jurisdiction of a certain place, and the frontier Mongolian ministries or Jianlu break through the defense line, threatening the stability of the capital, the head of the place will be executed and the responsibility will be held to the higher level.

At the same time, involving the prefectures and counties of Northern Zhili, the cabinet was appointed, and the corresponding powers were sorted out. Non-essential government offices were either abolished or merged.

If some matters are involved, the cabinet and the military aircraft department need to come forward, and the two departments will discuss and negotiate to properly resolve the corresponding matters and ensure the stability under the rule of Beizhili.

These are some of my ideas, many of which I did not mention just now, whether it is the cabinet or the military aircraft department, we must fully consult them and discuss the corresponding detailed rules. "

Wang Chengen, who was waiting by the side without saying a word, saw his emperor pick up two copies of the text and hurriedly leaned forward. After taking the text with both hands, he turned and walked towards Han Yu and Wang Qia.

At the current stage of Ming Dynasty, if one wants to accomplish something, one must go through many difficulties and obstacles, just like this one in the officialdom of Ming Dynasty.

If a new government office is added, the wave of opposition that this may cause will be relatively small.

After all, if the government office set up is of low status or other nature, it can also get corresponding benefits.

But if some government offices are abolished, then your opposition will be relatively large.

Just like the abolition of the post station, it caused a lot of opposition from Daming.

But at that time, Emperor Chongzhen, who believed in the words of mediocre officials, believed that he could save money and increase the treasury, so he did it his own way.

It's just that the impact and damage caused are far beyond what Emperor Chongzhen thought.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he must never make a wrong step. Once he made a mistake, it would cause a blow to the imperial power and the emperor's majesty.

The ad hoc governor of Zhili was a decision made by Emperor Chongzhen after careful consideration. There may be some chaos in the early stage, but it will definitely be stable in the later stage.

It is even said that under the governance of Zhili governor Lu Xiangsheng, the basic plate selected by Emperor Chongzhen can gradually complete the integration.

Clarify the high-efficiency system of communication from top to bottom.

Gradually realize work-for-relief and abolish the corvee system.

Solve the problems of fleeing households and refugees.

Prepare to build a system of water conservancy facilities.

To prepare for the laying of the system.

Delay the trend of land consolidation.

Crack down on illegal salt trafficking.

Prepare to build military storage warehouses in various places in Zhili and so on.

The many deployments planned by Emperor Chongzhen required a middleman to coordinate the overall situation, maintain corresponding contacts with various government offices in the court, and have a high political status.

If there is no governor of Zhili, then Emperor Chongzhen wants to implement it step by step, and there will be many obstacles and obstructions he has secretly endured in the affairs he planned.

If vested interests are involved, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people.

"That's how it was settled."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up, looked at Han Yu and the others, and said, "Lu Qing, I have ordered you to come to the capital.

This ad hoc Zhili governor's yamen was established under the rule of Baoding Mansion.

Those governors who have been deposed, on the side of the official department, returned to Wang Laoqing's family, and together with the officials of the official department, drafted a memorial as soon as possible.

It's time to go to the court, and it's time to take turns. "

After saying that, regardless of what everyone thought, Emperor Chongzhen flicked his sleeves, left the main hall of Qianqing Palace, and returned to Dongnuan Pavilion.

'What's the use of giving the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department such heavy authority if they can't share the burden and pressure for themselves? '

Emperor Chongzhen was very aware of Han Yu's concerns, but he didn't think these concerns could be used as an excuse to prevent him from changing Beizhili.

"The cabinet and the military aircraft department are under some pressure from the court. Lu Xiangsheng, after clarifying the matters of the Jimi Yong Sanxie, rushed to Baoding Mansion to take up his post, and Sun Chuanting served as Shuntian Governor.

The impact of the dismissal of governors Baoding and Shuntian has been virtually minimized. As for the governor of the Xuanfu, just take it easy. '
