I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 113 The deal is concluded and the drama begins

"Please also ask His Royal Highness to express it!"

Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and all the civil officials saluted at the same time.

Although he understood that Zhu Yunxi was taking this opportunity to force them to agree to something that was impossible to agree to before, but for the sake of the counselor's office and to become the minister of counselors, he had to endure.

Just hope this third thing, not too much.

"Last year, the emperor's grandfather decreed that [-] artisans from all over the country, totaling more than [-] people, were moved to Jinling Shibafang to make military and civilian supplies for the Ming Dynasty."

"Among them, there are many skilled craftsmen, and the things they make are of great benefit to the court and the world."

"I would like to set up a technical research and manufacturing bureau, select outstanding craftsmen from these craftsmen to join, grant them official status, and receive court salary. Those who have made outstanding contributions and have made important items that benefit the country and the people will be awarded with knighthoods."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the civil servants below all changed drastically.

It is enough to set up a technical research and manufacturing bureau.

They didn't understand this and thought it might be something created by His Highness the Grand Sun for fun.

Although there is a suspicion of playing with things and losing one's morale, which is not what the prince should do, but it is not important.

Can craftsmen be given official titles and titles?
Why is this?

It's just a group of lowly craftsmen who make something and get a few taels of silver.

Learning is valuable than anything else.

What they do is the best, which is also a skill, and it is the end.

The Confucian classics and the words of sages are the foundation.

If the imperial court reuses them, wouldn't it be to give up the basics and seek the end?

No matter how many scholars study hard for decades, they may not be able to find an official position.

A mere craftsman is also bestowed with an official status. How can this be done?
Not to mention being awarded a title.

You must know that, except for the ministers who have made great contributions to the founding of the country, only generals who have made great military exploits and died on the battlefield will be knighted.

As for civil servants, no matter how powerful they are in the court or how high their status is, they are not knighted.

It is already the ultimate to receive a good posthumous title after death.

Now His Highness Taisun actually said that he would ennoble those craftsmen, which is simply turning the imperial court upside down.

No!

Absolutely not!

A group of civil servants were about to advise and prevent this from happening.

At this time, I heard Zhu Yunxuan say leisurely: "This is the last thing. If you don't have any objections, we can discuss the establishment of an advisory office."

The words that came to my mouth were swallowed back in an instant.

Although setting up a technical research and manufacturing bureau and conferring officials and titles on craftsmen makes them uncomfortable, it does not involve personal interests after all.

Even if the craftsmen were appointed officials and given titles, it would not affect the great affairs of the court.

Still have to continue to be their craftsmen.

They are dissatisfied, and it is nothing more than that they feel that the craftsmen are paid too much, and they do not show the noble status of scholars.

In contrast, the establishment of the Advisory Council is a major event.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

At this juncture, please try your best to meet His Highness Taisun's request.

A group of civil servants looked at me and I looked at you, and they all nodded tacitly.

Huang Zicheng cupped his hands and said, "Although this matter does not conform to the old rules, since His Royal Highness Taisun has made up his mind, the officials and others should follow suit."

Zhu Yunxu smiled and said: "I am afraid that this will lead to rumors and unprovoked attacks. I hope you will advise my colleagues to prevent such things from happening."

"His Royal Highness, please rest assured, the officials will do their best to handle this matter well." The civil officials replied in unison.

Their minds have been completely put on the counselor's office.

"En." Zhu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, and said: "The establishment of the Advisory Office is a matter of great importance, and a charter needs to be established. Why should it be established? How should it be established? How should it be established? Power, status, affiliation, all kinds of things, They all need to be discussed.”

As he spoke, he moved his body and said casually: "What I want to say is that after you go to court, you should discuss it carefully with the officials in the court. If you have any good ideas, you can submit a memorial when it is time."

"I would like to give you an explanation here. Grandpa Huang means that the Advisory Office can be set up, but it must be done in a proper way."

"Do you all understand?"

As soon as this statement came out, the civil servants below were all excited.

Has His Majesty agreed to set up the Advisory Office?
Originally, this was what they were most worried about.

I can only place my hope in His Majesty the Grand Sun and give him good advice in front of His Majesty.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty even agreed.

As long as they come up with a charter, things will be done.

"The next official takes orders!" All the civil servants were excited.

"It's nothing, let's go." Zhu Yunxi waved his hand.

All the officials quickly saluted and retreated.

Soon, the news that the imperial court was about to set up an advisory office, and that ministers would be appointed to assist in the affairs of state, disappeared.

In an instant, the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom was boiling.

Prior to this, a group of civil servants, led by Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Liu Sanwu and others, assisted His Highness Taisun in reviewing memorials every day in the Wenhua Hall, which had already attracted countless criticisms.

There have also been rumors that the imperial court intends to set up a counseling office, but many people still don't believe it.

After His Majesty abolished the prime minister system, he issued an imperial edict saying that he would never stand again.

Now there is a counseling office, so how is it different from the original prime minister?

They still don't know how much power the Advisory Office has.

I just take it for granted that since I am helping His Majesty review memorials and act as an agent in government affairs, he must be in a high position of power, just like the Prime Minister.

"Government by hanging down the arch, selecting capable officials and virtuous ministers to reuse them, His Royal Highness Taisun's move is wise."

"That's right. It seems that future scholars are expected to join the Advisory and Political Office, act as an agent of government affairs, and truly realize their desire to govern the country and bring peace to the world."

"I just don't know, which adults will be able to enter the counseling office this time?"

"The counselor, isn't this the same as the auxiliary minister and the minister who cares about orders?"

"I don't know that. I only heard that there will be a counselor's office, but it didn't say that there will be a counselor."

"Haha, since the Counselor's Office has been established, there will naturally be a Counselor."

"I heard that Mr. Huang, the minister of Dali Temple, and Mr. Qi, the left minister of the Ministry of War, have been assisting His Highness Taisun in handling government affairs in the Wenhua Palace these days. His Highness Taisun is extremely satisfied with them, and they should all be expected to join the Counselor's Office. "

"How important is the Counselor's Office? Although His Highness the Grand Sun has overseen the administration of the country, the candidates for the Counselor's Office must still be decided by His Majesty."

"Based on His Majesty's trust in His Royal Highness, as long as His Royal Highness speaks, His Majesty will most likely listen."

……

Countless officials were discussing in private, thinking about who might enter the counseling office, and even thinking about how to cater to them in advance and curry favor.

However, there are also voices of opposition.

"Could it be possible to let other people do important national affairs? It is too much for His Majesty the Grandson to let these people review the memorials in the Wenhua Palace. Now it is absurd to set up a counselor's office. It is too absurd."

"I have been studying for decades, and I have been favored by the court. I can't live up to the teachings of the sages. I will definitely prevent this from happening."

"The affairs of the government should be decided by the emperor, and handed over to the prince to oversee the country's governance. It still makes sense, and it can be handed over to the counseling office. It must not be done."

"That's right, now is not the time for the new emperor to enthroned, there is no need to appoint a Minister of Gu Ming, how can the government be entrusted to others?"

The opponents were mainly officials who had a history of quarrels with Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others, and were political opponents in the court.

They thought that they had no hope of entering the Advisory Office and taking power.

Of course, it is impossible to just watch a competitor enter the Advisory Office.

But their opposition was quickly submerged in a large wave of approval, and it didn't make much waves.

The emperor agreed, and all the important ministers in the court fully supported it. What's the use of their opposition?
This is exactly what Zhu Yunxi wanted to see.

If you don't give Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others a little "sweetness" and let them see their "hope" to govern the country, it must be a deadly remonstrance. You must never let the government go to others, and you must never set up a consultation office.

Once there is a lot of noise, it will be very difficult to implement it.

At least, it is also creating great obstacles for myself for no reason.

Now, since they all agree, things are easier to handle.

Zhu Yunxi wrote all the regulations in detail.

Next, the big show is about to start.

Those who now fantasize that they are the Minister of State and hold great power, if they see the regulations written by him, they will probably vomit three liters of blood.
