Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 720 The storm arises

"Isn't this nonsense?!"

cabinet.

A dissatisfied voice rang out, breaking the tranquility here.

"The integration of science and Taoism, Li Qiyuan is really bold in his idea!"

Qian Qianyi clutched the memorial, frowned and looked at everyone in the hall, and said with a little excitement: "The responsibilities of the six departments are completely different from those of the Metropolitan Censorate. One department is responsible for attending, admonishing, supplementing deficiencies, and picking up omissions. It is responsible for inspecting the affairs of the six ministries of personnel, households, rituals, military, punishment, and engineering, correcting their malpractices, and has the power of "copying", "reviewing" and "cancelling". It can also participate in "court discussions" and "court recommendations."

"One is responsible for supervision, impeachment and suggestions. Yes, for a long time, the six departments of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice have been inseparable. The censors of the six departments are called the department officials, and the 13 censors of the Metropolitan Censorate are called the provincial officials. The two have some similar powers, but the duties involved are different!"

"How big of a commotion would it cause if the six departments were merged into the Metropolitan Procuratorate? If the people in the six departments knew about this, wouldn't they be furious?"

"It's already fallen out."

Sun Ruyou, who was sitting, looked at Zhu Guozuo, Bi Ziyan and others with a half-smile, then said to Qian Qianyi: "This letter from the Censorate has long been distributed to various places in Beijing. Even when the Cabinet received it, the Tongzhengsi and the Six Departments had already received it. The Censorate does not take the Cabinet seriously."

Bi Ziyan frowned and looked at Sun Ruyou.

This statement is very targeted.

Under the current situation, the country can no longer afford any new disturbances. After all, not long after the holiday ended, a joint execution was launched inside and outside the capital.

The scale is very large.

There was a lot of noise.

The emperor used this execution, taking advantage of the momentum of the counterfeit currency case, to demonstrate his strong attitude and will to all officials in Beijing, including clerks.

Anyone who dares to violate the law, abuse power for personal gain, or commit corruption, no matter who it is, will suffer a miserable end once caught by the court.

This deterrence is extremely strong.

Originally, the cabinet members gathered together to resolve this matter, to appease the officials in the court, and to ensure that the accumulated government affairs could be resolved as soon as possible.

It was only shortly after the cabinet meeting began that this opening scene occurred.

"Come to think of it, it has been quite a while since Li Qiyuan took office as the Left Censor-in-Chief, right?" While Bi Ziyan was thinking, Shen lifted his sleeves and frowned.

"For such a major event as the unification of the imperial court and the imperial court, not to mention whether it will be implemented, just saying that there is such an idea, isn't there any news in the Censorate?"

Shen's words left everyone present speechless.

Li Qiyuan was appointed as the Left Censor-in-Chief by the emperor. His tenure was neither long nor short. During the time when Li Qiyuan was in charge of the Censorate, few people noticed anything else.

Without him.

Since Li Qiyuan took office in the Censorate, he has not submitted a single impeachment memorial, and even rarely submitted memorials of admonition, giving people the feeling that he does not exist.

That's exactly what happened.

This caused many alert people to gradually relax.

But at the beginning of the new year, Li Qiyuan set off a bomb, a bomb that shook the earth and shocked everyone!

"No one in the Censorate mentioned this matter."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qian Qianyi said in a low voice.

Qian Qianyi reacted strongly to the integration of the six ministries and departments, but there was nothing he could do. Li Qiyuan's move was too ruthless. By merging the six independent departments into the Censorate, it seemed that nothing had changed, but in fact everything had changed.

From the perspective of the Donglin Party, they were able to rise again from the center, which was inseparable from the short-lived Taichang Dynasty. It was precisely because of this transition that many Donglin Party members infiltrated the Kedao and Dao. In addition, many major events occurred during the transition from Chang to Qi, which allowed the Donglin Party to seize the opportunity, which allowed them to gather strength in the center again. The censors of Kedao were very special in the Ming Dynasty. Although they seemed to be of low status, they could actually cause great trouble and their explosive energy was extremely strong.

There are two other special existences parallel to it.

One is the Hanlin Academy and the other is the Zhanshi Palace.

Kodao Hanzhan, this is someone no one dares to underestimate.

No matter it is the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power, or the struggle between parties in the court, the first thing to feel the change must be the direction of public opinion. In this process, some people charge in the front, some hold the pen in the middle, and some command in the back. The division of labor is extremely clear. Whoever loses his seat first will lose the upper hand.

If the unification of the censorship and the religious system mentioned by Li Qiyuan were really implemented in the central government, it would be a huge blow to the Donglin Party. After all, their duties and powers would change, and the authority they hold would be reduced!
Except for the Donglin Party, other groups had the same attitude.

On the surface, Kedao is an independent existence, unaffected by imperial power or any other influence, but in fact there are many things hidden behind it!

How can we make public what is beneath the cards?
"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Zhu Guozuo, who had been silent the whole time, looked at everyone in the hall and said, "The most urgent task now is to first know the attitude of His Majesty and the movements of the officials in the court."

"The holiday has just ended, and there are a lot of government affairs piled up in the court. We can't delay these affairs just because of some situations!!"

What an eventful time.

Zhu Guozuo said this, but he was secretly sighing in his heart. For some reason, Zhu Guozuo suddenly discovered that the wind direction in the central government had changed drastically since this new year.

It is larger than that of the Wanli and Taichang dynasties.

It even exceeded the time when Changqi switched places.

Zhu Guozuo didn't dare to think too deeply about where the central government would go under this wave.

Zhu Guozuo didn't have to think too much about Li Qiyuan's letter, which was a combination of the imperial and Taoist scriptures. He must have had the emperor's tacit approval, otherwise Li Qiyuan would not have dared to do so.

In other words, the trend brewing in the central government was actually driven by the emperor.

But why would the emperor do this?

The situation has clearly improved slightly. The central government should take advantage of this good situation and further alleviate the accumulated problems and tumors while maintaining stability in all regions.

But now that things have gotten out of hand, if there is chaos at the center, some things will be hard to control.

"Prime Minister! The Ministry of Public Administration forwarded the memorial to the Censorate."

While Zhu Guozuo was deep in thought, a voice sounded outside.

coming!

When some people heard this, they all thought to themselves.

"Prime Minister! The Ministry of Personnel shall forward the memorial to the Censorate!"

"Prime Minister! The Ministry of Revenue shall forward the memorial to the Censorate!"

"Prime Minister! Military Department..."

"Prime Minister! The six departments jointly refute the Censorate..."

As the voices rang out, the atmosphere in the cabinet suddenly changed. Compared with Zhu Guozuo's cabinet ministers, the Zhongshu Sheren and many clerks on duty in the cabinet all stopped their tasks. This letter from the Censorate, which combined the imperial and official documents, had already caused an uproar when it was distributed to various places.

At present, this trend has begun to converge with the cabinet. The direction of this matter and how it is handled will affect the situation in the court! !
