Zhu Yuanzhang is getting older. In today's era, he can be regarded as a real longevity.
Year after year, no one knows how long they can survive.
According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang finally died at the age of seventy-one. Calculated now, there are only five years left.
The current situation is that the old man wants to see himself take real control of the government and carry out the future development of the Ming Dynasty according to his own ideas.
While my current physical condition is still relatively good, I can still have a chance to wipe my eldest grandson's ass.
Youdao is the first thing a new official needs to do when he takes office.
But now Zhu Ying obviously no longer has this need.
On the first day of going to court, there were not many changes. The ministers below were just asked to report something if they had something to report and to leave the court if there was nothing.
The court meeting that might have lasted an hour or two in the past was already over in less than two sticks of incense under Zhu Ying's arrangement.
The list was to be handed over to Zhu Ying, and the first thing Zhu Ying did when he arrived at the guardhouse was to take the list and read the names one by one.
A simple seven-day report.
Then let Da Sun continue.
He knew very well that this was what Da Sun showed to him specifically. Even if he didn't agree now and waited for him to go later, Da Ming would still follow Da Sun's arrangements.
"My grandson checked all the affairs in the court yesterday and discovered a problem, that is, most of the things are almost the same as before, and it does not mean that they can be solved immediately."
"Of course, not just the ministers, but all officials from the fourth rank to the fourth rank must submit the report to Guo Zhong."
As for other guards, they are naturally a bit unfamiliar. Now that everyone is looking around, it can be said that almost every soldier in the capital guard has truly seen His Highness the Grand Sun with their own eyes.
First of all, in terms of public security, the patrol strength of the Capital Security Department has become stronger than ever. Even some deeply hidden criminal forces can hardly escape the law.
And the officials are really starting to get busy.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Public security is one aspect, but the same is true in other aspects.
Zhu Ying explained: "I left the court early today to give the ministers and my grandson a buffer time."
"Whether it is responsibility or merit, it must be implemented on the individual's head and cannot be shirkable or transferred."
Doesn't that mean you are incapable?
That doesn't mean it's impossible to practice fraud.
This is an honor and at the same time a deterrent to Zhu Ying.
"And for matters that can be solved immediately, ministers will basically not bother them specifically."
Soon we arrived at the Huagai Hall.
And this kind of random inspection is completely conducted in secret. No one knows who has been selected according to the reports submitted.
Because Zhu Ying has the power to supervise and interfere in any matter, especially the personnel transfer of the Ministry of Personnel, every list will be archived for reference at any time.
The members inside correspond to official grades from ninth grade to second grade.
Zhu Ying can spare more time to do some real practical things.
In other words, if something is not done well and touches the interests of the royal family and affects people's livelihood, then the responsibility will be investigated layer by layer from the largest to the smallest.
"We originally wanted to see how Da Sun governs, but we didn't expect to do this directly for us."
"Grandpa, are you a little curious as to why your grandson retired from the imperial court so early?"
But after Zhu Ying arranged this time, he established another department called the Discipline Department.
During this month, Zhu Ying was very diligent when leaving the palace. It could be said that after clocking in every morning, he would rush to various capital garrison stations.
There is a problem involved here.
Since Zhu Ying issued the order on seven-day reporting, almost all officials in the yamen in the capital have to carry out this work.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was listening behind the curtain behind the curtain, also looked confused. He didn't react until all the ministers had left.
Zhu Yuanzhang only thought for a short time and did not directly deny Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying then said: "Every seven days from now on, all ministers will be asked to submit a daily report."
"And there is no need to hand the report below to me, the ministers. You can read it yourself."
Fortunately, at this stage, the power has been greatly improved. There is no need to ask for instructions on many matters, and I have arbitrary power.
"Forget it, we can't tell what you think now, so let's do it according to your wishes first. Let's see how effective it is for a month."
After the five people sat down, Zhu Ying began to express her request.
To put it simply, Zhu Ying has decentralized power to a great extent. While decentralizing power, responsibilities have also been devolved.
"Meet His Highness Taisun."
"Currently, among the six departments, there is still no Minister of Rites, and there has been a vacancy for a long time. After this meeting is over, each of you will recommend a name list to me, and I will make my own decision at that time."
He discovered that in fact, most of the time in the early dynasty, it was not about solving problems, but about demonstrating the majesty of imperial power.
The department directly under the responsibility of His Highness the Grand Sun may not seem to be of high rank, but it has great power.
Originally he wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang still did not speak.
Within a month, they had to cover the entire thirty-six guards stationed around the capital.
After hearing this, several ministers felt that they were under greater pressure.
Even so, there was still something wrong with the tone.
This was caused by the seven-day report.
If you directly deny it now, you won't be able to see it.
"The content of the report is also relatively simple. It just talks about what I did and what I encountered during these seven days."
But you can’t say that when you hand in the report, you can’t just write that you have nothing to do today and you can check the box and listen to music every day?
Then the black gauze hat on the head can be regarded as the end of the job.
"It would be a huge waste of time to spend all morning talking about these things in the court."
For today's Ming Dynasty, even if there is no court meeting for a month, there is actually nothing too important.
"If it can't be solved, there's no rush to ask questions again."
Zhu Yuanzhang was listening behind the screen, frowning slightly and thinking for a while, then his eyebrows relaxed completely.
If there is anything that is not done well in government affairs, it is obvious that His Highness Taisun will definitely call for an investigation.
In the past, you could leave the issue directly to the emperor to decide, but now you need to make your own decision, and the outcome is entirely your own responsibility.
Zhu Ying has participated in the morning court for more than a year.
Under Zhu Ying's frequent visits, the commanders of the various garrison posts in the capital became very restrained in many aspects.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Of course you have your own ideas."
Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally listening behind the screen.
Power is decentralized.
The most uncomfortable thing among them is, after all, the Ministry of Punishment.
You can't just do one thing in seven days.
Although those who can reach the Fengtian Palace are definitely the most talented people, both in terms of IQ and EQ, they are extremely high.
The specific reference is naturally the memory from the previous life.
Things that were once troublesome can be almost done in three days. If this can't be done, what will be written in the report?
After withdrawing, he would have more time to focus on other aspects and make arrangements.
And because the officials took action, the people could be said to have really benefited and benefited at this time.
Although this has some effects, it does not mean much to show the majesty to the ministers in the court.
Zhu Ying took the initiative to talk.
"There is no need to trouble you to go there in person. When we get there, eunuch Guo Zhong will arrange for someone to come to collect it."
Wu Shangshu didn't know what His Highness Taisun meant, so he could only bow and reply: "I sincerely comply with His Majesty's decree."
Hold general meetings for small matters, small meetings for big matters, and no meetings for important matters.
Zhu Ying's main control was Yu Xuanjiawei.
Wait for the emperor to finish chatting with this minister, and then move on to the next thing.
In this short period of one month, Zhu Yuanzhang became more relaxed, and Zhu Ying became more relaxed.
But spending one morning every day talking about trivial things made Zhu Ying feel very bored.
Zhu Ying's first step was to ask Guo Zhong to call all the five current ministers to Huagai Hall.
This is written in black and white, and once it is handed in, even the superior officer can see it.
In one hour and two hours, maybe five or six things can be done.
Within a month, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he could basically tell something was coming.
Has Zhu Ying's power as the grandson of the Supervisor of the Kingdom been weakened?
In fact, not only has it not weakened, it has become stronger.
Zhu Ying nodded and motioned to Guo Zhong to give him a seat.
If there is something important to notify and announce, it can naturally be mentioned at the court meeting.
This is the view currently held by Zhu Ying.
The five people saluted respectfully.
Just by walking like this, you can find that even the guards of the capital have many problems of being paid for their money.
This is the beginning of Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying talked about the regulations in detail. These rules and regulations were actually something he had been thinking about for a long time.
In this month, the entire capital has undergone great changes.
In desperation, many officials who had nothing to do had to find something to do, not for anything else but to have something to read in their reports.
In the past, ordinary people went to the government offices to do business, and no letter came for ten days and half a month, so they could only wait.
What is shocking is that I can imagine that in the days to come, the pressure will also become extremely great.
The main members of this official record department are the eunuchs in the palace, and there are also some censors in it.
That is, if a minister has something to report, then the entire civil and military officials will have to wait for his matter.
In the past, many cases could be postponed at will, but now with the report coming out, the merit is completely linked to the time it takes to solve the case.
For many yamen officials, there is basically not much to do in a day.
Especially the Department of Public Security, which naturally starts to go out every day. Anyway, no matter what happens, there is nothing wrong with patrolling.
Even the common people can feel this change.
It's different now.
"So Sun'er feels that ministers should be given time to resolve many matters."
Especially in the military.
"In the future, the six matters should not be reported casually. All matters should be recorded in writing according to the process of household registration archiving."
Once any fraud is discovered, it will be a crime of deception.
Even if there is no major punishment, it can be said that his future career has basically come to an end.
Take the initiative to find things and deal with them proactively. Even if there is some slack, it can be said that it is completely different from before.
This report is easy to say, but not so simple to write.
Which official wants his name to be known by His Highness the Grand Sun?
Of course, the court meeting still has to be held, but the key purpose is no longer to deal with things, it is almost like clocking in.
His Highness Taisun has made it clear that he will pile almost everything on himself.
The reason why he put Da Sun in power was to see what Da Sun would do after he left.
Zhu Ying continued: "I called you here today to make some adjustments to various departments."
At each grade level, someone will randomly check the contents of the report and then verify the authenticity.
This credit must ultimately be credited to Ming Dynasty.
There are also issues regarding the living conditions and treatment of sergeants.
But now that the decision has been made, there is no other way but to act in accordance with His Highness Taisun's order.
The busiest part is still reviewing memorials.
Shen Shu, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Ru Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhao Mian, the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, Zhan Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Yang Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments.
You can take a leave of absence for seven days, but can you still take a leave of absence for a month?
"Various events will be set up separately according to their priority. In the future, the department's assessment will also be divided according to the form of political performance."
Naturally, it is not said that there are many people. It is mainly conducted in the form of random checks.
It made all the officials in the capital move into action.
For example, check the armaments in the guard warehouse, the living conditions of the soldiers, and the drill status.
After spot checks revealed problems, they did not act directly, but reported them to His Highness Taisun for a decision.
In fact, after the court meeting.
Some old cases can only be dug up and searched to find solutions.
Zhu Ying was in power for a month.
Starting from the first guard post, especially the matter of Dian Mao, is extremely critical.
After Zhu Ying finished his speech, the five ministers were surprised and happy.
And that list is a salary list. If there is no one whose name is read, there is no need to mention it.
However, Zhu Ying did not directly punish the commanders of the guard station severely because of this incident. He only removed the vacant positions, and then fined them with salaries and confiscation, giving them small punishments and big warnings.
A month later, the canopy was in the palace.
Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang sat opposite each other.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson and was speechless for a long time.
