Yang Rong suddenly stood up. Although he didn't say much, he changed the direction of the discussion. Don't worry about the ancestral system and the restoration of the prime minister. Let's talk about whether doing this will be beneficial to the government affairs of the court?
These words also touched Zhu Di's mind. He was indeed entangled in complicated government affairs. He was busy from morning to night and had no free time at all. If he could classify the officials into different categories and urge all officials to do their best, it would definitely be what Zhu Di wanted.
As for the issue of violating the ancestral system, if the ancestral system is really so important, how could he, Zhu Di, sit on the dragon throne when he was still the vassal king in Peiping?
In the final analysis, the reason why the Ming Dynasty did not reinstate the prime minister was simply because the six ministries were unwilling to be completely reduced to subordinate officials of the prime minister and had been resisting. However, when the cabinet authority came up in the later period, it already had the status of prime minister, so there was no need to risk violating the ancestors.
To avoid the risk of subjugation, the prime minister was reinstated.
In a word, in the Ming Dynasty, the ancestral system was the ancestral system that was in line with everyone's wishes. If it was not in line with everyone's wishes, it could only be abandoned.
Zhu Di was very satisfied with Yang Rong's words. When he wanted to enter Yingtian, it was Yang Rong who suggested that he should first pay homage to Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Zhu Di immediately agreed, went to Lao Zhu's grave obediently, and became his good son.
Because of this, Yang Rong, who was only a Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen, was suddenly promoted to a Hanlin bachelor, and then managed the ceremony for Zhu Di's enthronement.
He is like a rising star among the civil servants.
"Don't argue anymore."
Zhu Di said coldly: "Although I have not been on the throne for a long time, my daily government affairs have been complicated, ranging from two to three hundred to five or six hundred. I have to wear clothes and eat at night, work hard at night, and never rest. I have never rested.
After being so busy, the government affairs fell to six ministries, and there were so many things that were not handled. It is really a debt of gratitude to me!"
At this time, he still has to do his best to be a good son of Lao Zhu. Since his father is not allowed to reinstate the prime minister, he cannot do it. If, as Xia Yuanji said, the ministers should supervise the six ministries and hundreds of officials.
Xu Jingchang said bluntly: "I don't understand this. Someone submitted a letter to express his opinion. His Majesty approved it and handed it over to your six ministries and offices for you to implement it. There can't be no movement, right? For example, your Majesty wants to adjust the nine-sided unified army.
The list of generals involves either a hundred or two hundred people. How many have you made now? How many percent have been completed? Where is the difficulty? Is it because someone in the Ministry of War is lazy, or does it involve other yamen, and you can't push these things...
There must be an explanation. After a while, His Majesty remembered it. When asked, he didn't do anything and just listened to you complaining. What's the point?"
"In this case, let's select a group of well-known Ci officials from among the Hanlin officials."
When the matter was discussed at this point, the aggressive ministers of the six ministries were already at a disadvantage.
Zhu Di thought for a moment and nodded immediately.
As long as all the officials work hard, Zhu Yunwen, who is in charge of the world, will not be beaten by Zhu Di to the point of losing his armor and his country.
"Ru Yun, you just had a quarrel, and I asked someone to get the note written by Xu Tongzheng... I found that your Ministry of War did not implement a single thing. What happened?"
At this time Yang Rong, a Hanlin scholar, stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, after Emperor Taizu deposed Zhongshu Sheng, he established four auxiliary officials to prepare for consultation. Later, he followed the system of the Tang and Song Dynasties and established palace bachelors to assist the emperor.
Father, I want to participate in aircraft maintenance. I think this seems more appropriate and more respectful of the ancestral system."
Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty, it's like this. The government affairs are indeed complicated at the moment. We need to remove the old and install the new and refresh the country. Take the old minister as an example. Your Majesty asked me to preside over the compilation of Taizu's Records. How is the progress here? What troubles have been encountered? What needs to be done?
How many talents, who has made great achievements, and who has made mistakes, it is indeed necessary to report to the outside world, so that His Majesty and the courtiers can all know. We cannot wait until ten or eight years later, just to give the court a conclusion that the repairs have been completed or not. This way
It is inevitable to be suspected of neglecting official duties."
"Xu Tongzheng, since you know that everyone is in trouble, why do you go out of your way to make it even more difficult for everyone?"
Xia Yuanji also said: "Indeed, although Xu Tongzheng is extremely talented and astute, he is still too young after all. He has just entered the official career and is not familiar with the laws of the country. Some government affairs may not be clear. If I dare to give advice, your majesty can choose another one."
Sir, please handle this matter."
It's just that in the past, Yao Guangxiao was unwilling to stand up and speak, so he gave others space. Now this person also stood up to support Xu Jingchang, turning the tables almost instantly.
Didn't Ru Ru and the others take issue with the ancestral system?
"Xu Tongzheng, how about we sit down and have a chat?"
Now he has adopted Zhu Yuanzhang's practice and let Zhu Di carry it forward. Moreover, the so-called palace bachelors usually select Hanlin civil servants who are familiar with the court's rules and regulations.
Ru Yun's expression changed and she hurriedly said: "To reply to Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is related to military affairs. Among the government affairs assigned by Your Majesty, there are adjustments to the generals from the nine sides, rewards to meritorious officers, and recruitment of military personnel. Each of them is very complicated, isn't it?
It can be done in a day or two. Therefore, I think that people like Xu Tongzheng, who do not understand the difficulties of government affairs at all, and just point fingers at will, will not only be detrimental to the implementation of government affairs, but will disrupt the situation of the government, and I hope your Majesty will learn from it."
It is true that the rattling machine of the Ming Dynasty needs to add a part, and the operating rules should also be adjusted.
Then there is no doubt that whoever gets this position will be the new prime minister.
Although Yang Rong doesn't talk much, he hits the point every time he stands up.
Zhu Di made the final decision. The courtiers who had been arguing for a while looked at me and I looked at you. What else can I say?
Your majesty is holy!
The courtiers could no longer resist, so Jian Yi, the official minister, was the first to step forward.
Ru Yu's old face is livid, Xu Jingchang is a guy who speaks really unpleasantly and will poke your lungs with every sentence. Moreover, he is indeed an old minister of Jianwen, and his position is still very high.
This was equivalent to blocking the General Administration Department and refuting Xia Yuanji's idea of recommending important ministers to preside over major affairs.
Zhu Di smiled hurriedly and said: "Master Yao, if you have any suggestions, just tell me."
At this time, Xu Jingchang didn't want to hear it anymore, "Ru Shangshu, you just talked about the difficulties of the Ministry of War. Then I would like to ask, is it not difficult for the Ministry of Personnel, is it not difficult for the Ministry of Household Affairs? The Ministry of Works wants to repair the three main halls, and they have to build them in the Beijing Government Office. Where?
Is it just as easy? It is obvious that you have long-standing habits that are hard to change, you are lazy in government affairs, and you are perfunctory. Now that I have discovered it, you are angry and angry."
Indeed, this is how they fooled Zhu Yunwen.
Yao Guangxiao, who had been silent until now, spoke, "Your Majesty, I have a few words to say."
As for handing it over to the Secretary of General Affairs, Zhu Di was not at ease. The main reason was that Xu Jingchang was too troublesome. In just a few days, he had conflicts with Qiu Fu and hundreds of officials. If he was asked to supervise hundreds of officials, the court would not be able to follow the rules.
Is the market as busy?
In order to avoid the unrest situation, Yang Rong's proposal is very safe.
Zhu Di set his sights on Rujun, Minister of the Ministry of War.
"Your Majesty, what the young master said is indeed correct. It is just to organize government affairs and supervise the six government offices. Such a big matter cannot be left to the General Affairs Department. I think it should be controlled by your Majesty personally."
Zhu Di frowned slightly, still thinking.
Xu Jingchang just revealed this matter at the right time.
Xu Jingchang looked at the two people and was furious, "What are you talking about? You saw the Secretary of General Affairs eating meat, and you felt unhappy and insisted on stirring up trouble. Now it's fine. His Majesty chose the Hanlin Ci Minister to assist you. You have too many heads on your head.
There is a dark cloud, and you may not know what wind, sword, and frost sword will come out in the future to make you look good! This matter falls to the General Affairs Department, and I can't always be the general affairs envoy. When I leave, won't it be you who arrange suitable candidates? I will
I’ve never seen anything so stupid.”
Ru Jin was speechless and found it difficult to answer this question.
If Xu Jingchang continues to talk, it will be revealed that he has ulterior motives and intends to rebel.
Yao Guangxiao's words are almost the final word. He is Zhu Di's mastermind and confidant.
After coming out of the main hall, Xu Jingchang stepped forward. The fat Xia Yuanji took two steps and stopped him, and then Jian Yi followed.
Zhu Di was slightly startled, it seemed to make sense.
After Xu Jingchang finished speaking, he strode away.
Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji looked at each other. They also felt that something was wrong, but there was no better way.
"Xu Tongzheng, wait a minute!" Xia Yuanji shouted again.
Xu Jingchang hummed: "How can you, a bunch of insects, manage the Ming Dynasty? I want to go to the Qinhuai River to listen to music!"
