Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 538: Endless fun
"This is the magnanimity and magnanimity that I, the Ming Dynasty's Prime Minister, should have!"

Inside Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao placed a memorial on the imperial desk in front of him, with a happy smile on his face. He knew what happened in the household department immediately.

Based on what Bi Ziyan said, Zhu Youxiao knew that he had not misjudged the wrong person, let alone trusted the wrong person!
If you want to solve the accumulated shortcomings of the central finance of the Ming Dynasty and make the national treasury full, you need people like Bi Ziyan who will not be affected by any situation and know what they should do. Clear things must be done well, otherwise the finance of the Ming Dynasty will be ruined. No relief is possible.

When the ministers in the South Study House saw this scene, they all looked at each other and felt different emotions in their hearts.

In the current political situation, Bi Ziyan's insistence on his own opinion will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of many people. After all, what the Ministry of Revenue does is to cut out the flesh.

It’s just that too many people forget that these should belong to the national treasury, but just because they eat them, they feel that this is what they should be.

Now that they are suddenly not allowed to eat, no one will be happy.

"In the Ming Dynasty, if there were more people like Bi Qing, why would we be in this situation!!" While the ministers in the South Study Room were sighing with emotion, Zhu Youxiao said.

"In the name of Nan Shufang, I will let the cabinet issue decrees. I will keep an eye on all the officials in the central committee who are doing everything. If anyone fails to fulfill his duties in his position and is affected by other things, then this official Don’t be a fool, since you are so concerned about the current situation, then just go down and pay attention.”

"The ministers obey the order."

The ministers in the south study room immediately bowed and responded.

What Bi Ziyan decided to do, Zhu Youxiao certainly thought about what would happen next. There might still be trouble in some places.

But so what?
Do you stop doing things just because of these worries?

When will such long-standing shortcomings in the central finance of the Ming Dynasty be completely resolved?

If you don't become a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

No one knows better than Zhu Youxiao what will happen if there is no healthy central finance to govern this vast Ming Dynasty.

If even these cannot be solved, once the court faces any urgent situation, there will be no better way than to allocate downwards.

But in this case, isn't that just going back to the old path?
Zhu Youxiao doesn't know how many urgent needs can be solved once these apportionments of Liao's, Suppression and Training's wages appear, but Zhu Youxiao knows one thing. As long as this hole is opened, the people below will dare to do anything!
"Continue to talk about the integration of science and education!"

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao gathered his thoughts, looked at the ministers in the south study room and said: "This matter needs to be drafted as soon as possible. The current Kedao has gone astray from when it was first established. Some people are in the Sixth Section , what I’m thinking about is not how to make the court better, but what I’m thinking about is doing something for the sake of fame!”

"Your Majesty, once this matter spreads in the court, I'm afraid there will be loud opposition."

Dong Yingju looked worried, stepped forward and bowed to the emperor: "After all, there is no precedent for this matter, and the six subjects were sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate at the same time, and many people were involved. If there is another kneeling remonstrance because of this matter, it will be a big blow to the emperor." As far as the imperial court is concerned, it will do all harm but no good."

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal." Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun and others stepped forward one after another.

"There is no precedent, so I will set a precedent."

Zhu Youxiao's attitude was extremely tough, and he said in a sonorous tone: "The six departments were originally set up in the imperial dynasty to be responsible for the attendants, regulations, admonitions, repairs, and relics, to assist the emperor in handling memorials, and to inspect the affairs of the six ministries. He enjoys the title of "Copying of the Departments" ", the right to "scientific reference" and "cancellation"!"

"The six subjects are even allowed to participate in "court discussions" and "court recommendations", but in fact? Some people's butts have been crooked from the beginning. Since it is useless, then they should be merged into the Metropolitan Procuratorate to enhance the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Wei, from now on I will strictly investigate and enforce the rule of officials. If anyone dares to fool around again in the future, it will not be easy for them to get through."

Zhu Youxiao had been thinking about merging the six subjects into the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a long time. He even came up with this idea when he first ascended the throne.

The fierce party struggle in the Ming Dynasty has a lot to do with some institutional imperfections.

The most obvious performance is Ke Dao.

The Yanguan Yushi in Kedao is a high-ranking official. Although he has a low position, he is so powerful that he can even impeach the chief minister of the cabinet. If the impact is great, the chief minister of the cabinet can be removed from office.

Although Liu Ke greatly enhanced the imperial power when it was first established, the situation is now different from that in the early Ming Dynasty. Not only can the Six Kes not be able to defend the imperial power, but it even restricts the imperial power in some cases.

This is what Zhu Youxiao never wants to see.

By integrating science and education, Zhu Youxiao wanted to deprive him of some of his power, so that in the future, science and education could only supervise hundreds of officials. As for other things, it was better to save them.

Of course, the reforms involving the Ming Dynasty's official system will certainly not be limited to these, but for Zhu Youxiao, he needs to further strengthen the imperial power. Only in this way can he clearly implement what he wants.

"Nan Shufang will find an opportunity to bring this matter to light."

While everyone was thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao continued: "I would like to see who is the most jumping person, and during the planning of this matter, regarding the public election of Duke Yan Shenggong, , we must speed up the completion of it. Those new scholars, I did not ask them to return to their hometowns just for this matter. If this matter fails, then they should not even think about leaving the capital!"

Now that he has become a disciple of the emperor, Zhu Youxiao will not allow anyone to dare to be careless when it comes to taking sides. If anyone dares to play tricks with him in this matter, then no matter how talented you are, Zhu Youxiao They will never be reused. Loyalty is not absolute, which is equal to disloyalty.

Renxu Ke's current generation of Jinshi has admitted far more candidates than other imperial examinations. It is unrealistic to say that all of them are loyal to the imperial power.

But now, Zhu Youxiao wants them to express their attitude.

As long as this attitude is expressed, the rest is waiting to be deployed.

What Zhu Youxiao wants to do is to completely change the Ming Dynasty. If he doesn't even have this courage, then what will Zhu Youxiao do with them?
Are you holding yourself back?
"Your Majesty, will the editorial of Huangming Times continue to be published?" Dong Yingju was a little worried. He knew that the future situation of the court would be further turbulent, so he asked the emperor.

"Continue to print as I said before."

Zhu Youxiao said in a sonorous tone: "Since they want to fight, I will accompany them to the end. I want to see if the banditry that occurred in Lianghuai will appear in other places. I have spent so much money and food. I will not be able to do it in Jingying." When implementing trial changes, they don’t just have to bury their heads in practice. When it’s time to see blood, you still have to see blood!!”
