Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 280 Everything (1)

The central court was sorted out in stages, and the government agencies in Beijing, headed by the cabinet, were all adjusted and replaced. This caused the temple's power structure to undergo an invisible reshuffle.

From the late Wanli Dynasty, through the short-lived Taichang Dynasty, and then to the Tianqi Dynasty, in less than a year, Zhu Youxiao achieved control of the court.

The current control and the control at the beginning of Yuji are two completely different concepts. At least in the current court, no matter who wants to do anything, they must consider the attitude of the emperor.

This is what Zhu Youxiao wants!
Phenomenons such as parties fighting against dissidents and fighting games can never be eliminated. After all, power itself carries huge temptations, so it is better to block it than to block it. It is okay to want to do these things, but don’t go too far. Under the prescribed rules, You can play whatever you want, but if anyone dares to go beyond the line, dare to cross the line, and then bring bad influence to the country, then don't blame me for being ruthless!
The weather is getting hotter.

The dazzling sun hung high above the Forbidden City. Although there was a breeze blowing from time to time, I couldn't feel much coolness.

"The formation of the new cabinet will relieve me of a lot of burdens."

Outside the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao, who had finished handling a batch of government affairs, rarely came out to look around. He smiled and said to Liu Ruoyu who was driving beside him: "Will the group of people selected from the Shaofu go to the Zhongshu Department, Pingren Did you perform your duties?"

"Your Majesty, according to the report from the Young Master, everyone has performed their duties."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"That's good."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, "Since it is a responsible cabinet, the division of labor must be clear. Those who serve in the cabinet, no matter how big or small, must have real talents and practical knowledge.

By the way, send someone to the Wenhua Palace to deliver my oral instructions.

In view of the complexity of the affairs undertaken by the cabinet, the cabinet has specially established a new secretarial supervisor to assist cabinet ministers in running errands. The posts and official ranks involved shall be subject to the Zhongshu Department. "

"The slave will do it now."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly bowed and bowed.

The responsible cabinet system has initially taken shape, so for Zhu Youxiao, he must gradually improve the cabinet structure to ensure that this power system can operate efficiently in the future.

In addition to realizing the above-mentioned political vision, the new secretarial supervisor to be established in the cabinet also has the idea of ​​promoting some new officials. After all, the symbol of the consolidation of imperial power is to have a group of loyal and hard-working people.

Unknowingly, at the beginning of Zhu Youxiao's imperial career, the dilemma of having no one available to him has completely changed now. Although they were not cultivated in the dormitory, the imperial party loyal to Zhu Youxiao has spread in various fields and regions. A group of people have been trained, but if they want to become the backbone, many of them still need to undergo many tests.

"Brother Emperor!"

Hearing Zhu Youjian's voice, Zhu Youxiao looked around, with a faint smile on his face, and saw Zhu Youjian walking quickly from the direction of Qianqing Gate.

"Didn't I tell you to go see Tang Wangsun?" When Zhu Youjian came to the imperial court, Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said, "It's not even noon yet, and you're already running back to the palace?"

"See you, my brother."

Zhu Youjian said truthfully: "What he meant... was that he wanted to live with my younger brother. However, my brother, when my younger brother left the palace and went to the Tenth Prince's Mansion, he thought of one thing."

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhu Youjian who looked serious.

"Brother Emperor, do you still remember that you wanted to summon all the vassals to the capital?"

Zhu Youjian said.

"remember."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves, looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "I remember this matter. Didn't I leave it to the emperor's younger brother to handle it?"

"Yes."

Zhu Youjian nodded and said: "Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch in charge of etiquette, found out some other things in Shanxi. The emperor's brother wanted to summon the vassals to Beijing in the name of a wedding. I have been watching this matter. At present, the vassals in Shanxi are... The princes and princes have all set off, followed by Shandong and Henan..."

"Talk about the point."

Zhu Youxiao reached out and tapped Zhu Youjian's head.In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't pay much attention to the vassals coming to the capital. He called them to the capital for the subsequent sect-vassal restructuring. It took him a few months to come to the capital, but it took more than a year to come to the capital. Yes, it is the Ming Dynasty vassal after all. Although each of them cannot hold power in the vassal territory, they have a lot of rules on weekdays. Even if they go to Beijing under the imperial edict, there are many rules.

"Brother Chen is thinking."

Zhu Youjian rubbed his head and frowned slightly: "If all the sects and vassals from all over the country arrive in the capital, it may be difficult for the Ten Princes' Mansion to accommodate them. After all, there are many people coming, but if they are relocated elsewhere, just rely on..."

"Are you afraid of them being domineering?"

The corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth turned up slightly.

"Yes."

Zhu Youjian nodded.

Although Zhu Youjian left the palace and went to the Tenth Prince's Palace, he was ordered to visit the Tang Prince's grandson Zhu Yujian for a short time. However, after some exchanges, Zhu Youjian discovered that Zhu Yujian was in a miserable life. If it weren't for the imperial edict, he would have been directly awarded to the Tang Prince's Palace. , I am afraid that Zhu Yujian is still in the Chengfeng Department at this time.

"It's easy to handle."

Zhu Youxiao said without hesitation: "All sects and vassals who come to Beijing under the imperial edict will go to Shanglin Garden to stay temporarily. Without an imperial edict, they are not allowed to leave Shanglin Garden without authorization, let alone enter the capital without authorization."

"If this happens, the civil servants in Beijing may know about it and may have to say something." Zhu Youjian frowned and said, "After all, Shanglin Garden is the royal palace of the imperial palace, and the vassal vassal..."

"Don't bother."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hands and said: "If they want to say something, just ask them to say it. By the way, Emperor Brother, I have an errand for you. When all the previous batch of sects arrive in the capital, you will be responsible for receiving them. In addition to In addition, all remaining sects and vassals must be summoned to the capital."

"What does the emperor mean by calling all the princes, princes, princes and nobles from the vassals in Huguang and other places to the capital?" Zhu Youjian asked nervously.

"good."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "If possible, the clans leading the generals of the Zhenguo, the auxiliary, and the Fengguo generals will also be summoned to the capital by me."

"Is it also in the previous name?"

Zhu Youjian frowned and said: "But it's been so long, and I'm going to call again..."

"Then let's see what the emperor does."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and waved his hand and said, "This is the exam I gave to the emperor's younger brother."

"Brother Imperial, I would like to ask you one last question."

Zhu Youjian heard this, thought for a while, and said with a serious expression: "Calling all the vassals from all over the country to the capital, who should allocate the expenses during the stay in Shanglin Garden?"

"Let's allocate it directly from internal funds for the time being."

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said: "But you must keep good accounts and record every expenditure. When what I want is solved, I will ask them to make up for the money they spent."

"Brother Chen understands."

Zhu Youjian bowed and bowed.

Although he didn't know what his royal brother wanted to do, Zhu Youjian's intuition told him that the matter must not be simple, otherwise his royal brother would never do this.

In fact, Zhu Youjian's intuition is very accurate.

Zhu Youxiao went to such great lengths to gather all the vassals from all over the country to the capital. He really had big things to do. One was to let them know the rules, and the other was to make replacements. When all these sects and vassal clans arrived in the capital, If they want to leave the capital and return to their respective vassals, they must send all their children to the capital, whether they are legitimate sons or concubines. Only by doing this can they leave the capital smoothly.

With these two prerequisites, Zhu Youxiao wanted to establish the Huangming clan school in Shanglinyuan. At the same time, he needed to reform and adjust Zonglu, and lift the ban on the lower-level clans, so as to prepare for the subsequent establishment of the Huangming clan army.

Promoting the transfer of feudal vassals overseas requires long-term preparation and planning. If this matter is to be officially launched, it may be difficult to see results without several years or even longer.
