My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 187 I Don't Care About Everything
Zhu Di issued a decree to establish the Pingzhang Yuan, which was the same as the Inspectorate. Yao Guangxiao, the Duke of Rongguo, served as the envoy of Pingzhang, and Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo, served as the deputy envoy of Pingzhang. The meeting of the chief officers of the military governor's mansion...

When this decree came down, the court was in an uproar!

Too much, too much!

Since Zhu Di took office, he has frequently increased institutions.

First restore Jinyiwei, and then set up a cabinet... If these two things can still find a little shadow in the Hongwu Dynasty, the big guys can only pinch their noses to recognize them.

Next, the East Factory was established, which blatantly violated the ancestral system.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang made it clear that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics.

It's just that this is an official position of the inner court, and they have no right to interfere.

But what the hell is this Pingzhangyuan established now?

This is not an inner court affair, is it?

In addition to the six ministers and nine ministers, there is another yamen... and this yamen also has two princes, all of whom are the emperor's confidantes. What is the purpose of this?
In the future, will the Ministry of Officials still be the head of the hundred officials?

Who do we courtiers listen to?

Your Majesty is so foolish!

Many courtiers clamored to write a letter to advise Zhu Di.

But they weighed their own weight, and they were all honest.

Let's not talk about Yao Guangxiao. Everyone knows how difficult Xu Jingchang is.
What's more, Song Li, Minister of Rites, Zheng Ci, Minister of Punishment, and Guo Zi, the censor of Zuodu... There are many important court officials who have stumbled, and it is obvious that His Majesty is rectifying the court.

At this time, to impeach the most trusted minister of the emperor, isn't he courting death?
If you are impatient to live, you don't need to find the most painful way to die!

Therefore, no one dared to directly impeach Xu Jingchang, but the public opinion was already boiling, and they all clamored for breaking the rules and disrupting the ancestral system.

Compared to the people below, Jian Yi was still very calm, "Actually, His Majesty told me about this matter. It is nothing more than asking them to help counsel the government, make some suggestions, and assist the emperor. It can be regarded as lightening our burden."

Xia Yuanji smiled wryly, "Of course I know what Your Majesty means. I'm afraid that kid will cause trouble for us now."

Jian Yi hesitated for a while and said: "He is only a deputy envoy after all, and Master Yao is still in charge. I figured that His Majesty valued Master Yao's prudence, and asked him to suppress Xu Jingchang to avoid accidents."

Xia Yuanji frowned, and finally sighed helplessly, "I'm afraid that Young Master Yao won't be able to suppress him now!"

Jian Yi was startled, can't he?
Even Yao Guangxiao couldn't suppress Xu Jingchang?
Can this kid go to heaven?
The two of them were worried and at a loss... On the other side, Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng had already arrived at the Xu Mansion.

"I said Duke Ding, my nephew! Congratulations on your promotion. From now on, we big guys will follow orders and follow the lead."

Xu Jingchang waved his hand, "Cheng Guogong, don't make fun of me. You are the left governor of the five armies. In terms of rank, you are a first-rank official and a hereditary Duke. You are one level above me... Listen to me." what?"

Zhu Neng waved his hands again and again, "You can't say that, between us, regardless of official position, you are smart and smart, and His Majesty listens to you... I came back this time, just want to ask one thing, why do you oppose sending troops to Annan? Many of us are planning to use Annan to make meritorious service!"

Xu Jingchang didn't answer, but asked instead: "Mr. Cheng, do you want to fight the Mongols, or Annan?"

"Mongolia? Your Majesty has decided to attack the desert? That's great. I'm willing to be a pioneer." Zhu Neng danced with his arms and legs. Zhu Di's subordinates all started fighting in Mongolia.

Telling them to go south to deal with Annan is a bit overkill to be honest.

Moreover, the focus of the war between the north and the south is different. It may not be the best choice for Zhu Neng to attack Annan.

"Mr. Cheng, don't worry. The fleet sailing to the west is about to go to sea... After returning, it can bring back tens of millions of income. When the military expenditure is sufficient, His Majesty will definitely mobilize troops. Let me tell you about this , I hope you can make preparations in advance. Don’t let Duke Qi take the lead by then.”

Zhu Neng took a deep breath, suddenly realized, and immediately said with a smile: "I knew that we are our own family. I will remember your friendship."

Xu Jingchang nodded, "Mr. Cheng, can you give Zhang Fu a message?"

"you say!"

"You tell him that he will not lose the credit he deserves, but don't be too anxious, especially don't become a knife in the hands of some people."

Zhu Neng pondered slightly, he is not stupid, Xu Jingchang's words already contained blame.

"I'll tell Zhang Fu later and ask him to come to the door to apologize."

"No need." Xu Jingchang stopped him, "Let's go to Pingzhangyuan, and do business."

"Where is the Pingzhang Court?" Zhu Neng asked curiously.

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty intends to give us the inside of Guiji Gate."

Zhu Neng was taken aback, good guy, I'm direct good guy, you went to work in the university?
The importance of a yamen is often reflected in its office location, the closer it is to the palace, the higher its status.

Of course, some yamen were born in the palace... For example, the cabinet set up by Zhu Di, in order to facilitate summons, Zhu Di let them work in Wenyuan Pavilion, which belongs to Huijimen.

Originally opposite Huiji Gate, it was the Sixth Division inside Guiji Gate...but when Xu Jingchang was the general political envoy, the Sixth Division was placed under the Tongzheng Secretary, so the Sixth Division was moved away from the Guiji Gate.

Now the office space is empty, and it was never expected that it would fall into the hands of the newly established Pingzhangyuan.

Now it's all right, the cabinet and the Heping Zhangyuan have become the only yamen that work in Fengtianmen.

It is the closest to the Son of Heaven, far above the six parts.

Moreover, the Sixth Section Corridor is very spacious. After all, there used to be No. [-] for Shizhong to work in, but now there are only Yao Guangxiao and Xu Jingchang, and the old monk probably won't come every day.

Zhu Neng salivated enviously when Xu Jingchang dominated the class.

"Don't say anything, just ask my nephew to take care of me more in the future... Actually, I am secondary. Your brother Zhu Yong is young and his brain is not so good. You should help me more, I I entrust him to you."

Xu Jingchang smiled and agreed, the two chatted for a while, and Zhu Neng left satisfied.

For Xungui, it's not difficult to deal with them, just go straight, give enough benefits, and say anything.

For example, they wanted to make military achievements from Annan, but Xu Jingchang gave Mongolia an option, and they immediately agreed.After all, galloping in the desert is the battlefield they are familiar with, and it is far better than Annan, who is full of miasma.

It's just that it's a little troublesome to deal with the relationship with the civil servants next.

Xu Jingchang happily went to the Xunhui of the General Secretary... Xie Jin had been waiting here for a long time.

He bowed deeply, "Congratulations to Ding Guogong, now he is in charge of military affairs, and he is in charge of power, so he needs to help the subordinate officials more."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Let's take care of each other!"

He turned his head and looked, "Where are the others? Where is Young Master Yao?"

Xie Jin said: "Yao Shaoshi sent someone to pass me a note yesterday, and his old man will not participate in the general ten-day meeting. He said that Ding Guogong is fully responsible, and he believes you."

"I don't believe him!" Xu Jingchang snorted, "This old bastard is becoming more and more lazy... In front of the envoy, if he skips work for nothing, I will impeach him later!"

Xie Jin could only grin wryly, so you can say that about Young Master Yao, we don't have the courage.

While talking, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, Liu Jun, Wu Zhong, Luo Qian, Lu Zhen, they arrived one after another.

The big guys reunited at the ten-day meeting, so it was a little bit embarrassing, just a simple greeting, Jian Yi said with a straight face: "Today's ten-day meeting is to discuss the candidates for the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment... Also, Deputy Xu Shi, what kind of government affairs is your Pingzhang Yuan responsible for, and how will you cooperate with it if you need it? You might as well explain it to make it clearer, so as to avoid misunderstanding."

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "You guys must have seen it. Your Majesty's mission to Pingzhangyuan is military affairs and national security... I will focus on national security here. What is national security? The most straightforward, such as Annan Killing our border residents and encroaching on land is naturally a national security category, and it is the most serious. For other aspects, such as the food situation, the Pingzhangyuan will issue an evaluation countermeasure every year and submit it to His Majesty."

Xia Yuanji was startled, "Mr. Ding, you have to take care of money and food?"

"It's not about management, it's about assessing whether it's safe or not. Food safety is also a major issue, and it's still the top priority." Xu Jingchang explained with a smile: "Grain production in various places, inventory status, food prices, and how much the gap is... We will give His Majesty an answer. The approximate amount is convenient for rainy days.”

Xia Yuanji's old face is ashen, you are clearly meddling in the government affairs of the household department, damn it!
Regardless of what he thought, Xu Jingchang continued: "We will also release various evaluation measures for the supply of banknotes, private interest rates, and business development."

Xia Yuanji's eyes widened immediately, and he waited for Xu Jingchang viciously, you kid is going too far!

No matter what he thought, Xu Jingchang continued to think about himself: "In addition, we will also monitor the trend of scholarly public opinion based on the annual enrollment situation, address the mentality of Confucian scholars, and report to Your Majesty, care about scholarly thoughts, guide in time, and resolve crises. "

There is no minister in the Ministry of Rites, so Jian Yi can only say: "Mr. Ding, you still want to be in charge of education, right?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "It's just a suggestion for your majesty to refer to... By the way, there is also the Ministry of Punishments. I am going to suggest that your majesty refer to the spirit of the edict and revise the criminal system to suit the situation. Besides, major national projects, such as Palaces, frontier defenses, canals, dams... We, the Pingzhangyuan, will also report accordingly."

All the people present were in an uproar, staring at Xu Jingchang, wishing they could eat him!
Xia Yuanji simply gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Ding, are you taking over all the things that should be handled by the six departments now? Is there anything in the world that you can't control?"

Xu Jingchang's face sank, "Xia Shangshu, you are going too far... homeland security, ideological security, law making, major projects...all of them are in the category of safety! And I haven't said that Pingzhangyuan will arrange people , accompanied by the Western Fleet, went overseas to understand the situation of the barbarians. Provide a reference for my emperor to avoid blind decision-making."

Xu Jingchang smiled, "All in all, I hope that you will cooperate with the work of Pingzhangyuan, and we will work together to create greater glories and push the prosperity of Ming Dynasty to an unprecedented new height. Today's ten-day meeting is over, I treat you, let's have a good meal Don, it's on me."
