Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 41 Dealing with Government Affairs
The capital was a mess, and the palace was not peaceful.

After the discussion was over, Zhu Qiyu left the palace and returned to the palace to rest in peace.

But Jin Ying returned to Cining Palace with Li Yongchang.

No one knows what happened that night, but it is said that the eunuch in charge of the warehouse did not sleep all night...

The next day, Zhu Qiyu got up early.

With the experience of the previous life, he is much calmer now.

Hundreds of years of ups and downs taught him a truth.

Whenever there is a big event, there is still peace!

The more difficult the situation is, the more difficult it is to remain calm.

He could imagine what kind of a huge shock the various yamen of the imperial court would set off after the various officials returned last night.

After the news of the great defeat of the imperial court spread, the people of the capital had a lot of discussions.

But he also knew that at this time, the most important thing was not to panic.

He is quite confident in the quality of the civil service group, and appeasing people's sentiments is their specialty.

As for his lord Yu...

Eat and drink, your body is the most important thing!

After having breakfast and drinking the soup, Zhu Qiyu practiced Baduanjin again according to the orders of the imperial physician, and then, accompanied by Cheng Jing, set off for Jiyi Hall.

Jin Ying has sent someone to call three times...

Zhu Qiyu entered Jiyi Hall from Donghua Gate, and Jin Ying was already waiting at the door of the hall.

After sitting down, Jin Yingcai said with a wry smile.

"My lord, you can be steady, this morning, Shuntian Prefecture, Ministry of War, Ministry of Household, Ministry of Punishment, six divisions and thirteen disciplines, a bunch of memorials have been handed over, and a few elders are waiting outside. It's been almost half an hour since the news, you really don't panic at all..."

Fortunately, he slept for more than an hour last night, so he got up and waited in Jiyi Hall.

For fear that this Prince Yun would be "diligent in political affairs"...

But it turned out that people were not in a hurry at all, and it was bright day, so Shi Shiran came over.

Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea, picked up the thick stack of memorials on the table, and flipped through it, pouting involuntarily.

In addition to being able to do things, these civil servants are really quick in their mouths.

The news was only released last night, so many memorials came early this morning.

He simply flipped through it, except for the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Shuntian government who said some serious things, the six subjects and thirteen passages were basically impeachment memorials.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the memorial of Shuntianfu, and while reading it, he picked up the pen.

This memorial was the result of a conflict between Shuntian Prefecture and Wucheng Soldiers last night.

Because of the news of last night's sudden spread, all kinds of people who were waiting for the opportunity to make trouble came out one after another, not to mention the petty theft, as well as the smashing and robbery.

Shuntianfu and Wucheng soldiers and horses were dispatched together, and there was a lot of friction between the two sides.

Zhu Qiyu read and wrote, and after half a cup of tea, he put the memorial on the treated side.

Jin Ying was curious, and when he picked up the memorial, he almost dropped his jaw.

In this memorial, not only the boundaries of rights and responsibilities of the two sides are clearly defined, but also how to deal with problems in the future. What's more, this Prince Yu also ticked out three places, because the governor of Shuntian wrote A typo that appeared in a hurry...

Putting down the memorial, Jin Ying looked surprised.

Did this Prince Yun really have no contact with politics before?

You must know that as the eunuch of the lijian and the pen, he usually handles a lot of political affairs.

This group of civil servants likes to cite scriptures when they speak, and go around in circles.

Especially, the governor of Shuntian is also a rambling person.

He had to read this memorial in its entirety, and it would take half a cup of tea. If it were added to distinguish the details of the matter and think of a solution, it would be impossible to deal with it without a stick of incense.

If it's a hasty mess, it's enough to play a big board on each side.

But the memorial that King Yun approved was clearly written after reading it carefully.

For a while, Jin Ying looked at Zhu Qiyu's eyes with a little more admiration...

But what he didn't know was that Zhu Qiyu had already practiced the ability to criticize and play sparsely as a human being.

It has to be said that these civil servants are very strong in combat.

With the speed of Zhu Qiyu, Rao took more than two hours to process the manuscripts at hand.

If a newbie came here, at least it would get dark.

Looking at the few memorials that were deliberately left on hand, Zhu Qiyu stretched and said.

"Are the two elders Chen Xun and Gao Gu here today?"

Jin Ying was still immersed in the hill-like memorial, shocked that it could be resolved so quickly.

Hearing Zhu Qiyu's question, he hurriedly said: "Back to the lord, I came early in the morning, outside the Wenyuan Pavilion."

Zhu Qiyu pushed the memorials in front of him and said: "These memorials have already been approved by this king, you will send these memorials to the Minister of General Affairs in a moment, for the memorials of various yamen, let them order according to the king's approval, as for the six subjects. The thirteenth memorials will all be kept in the middle and not sent."

This is a normal thing. Although Jin Ying was a little surprised by the six subjects and thirteen paths, he still nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qiyu continued.

"Besides that, if there is a memorial in the future, I order the Minister of Communications to send it to the cabinet first, and then send it over after the vote is drawn up!"

But this time, Jin Ying was stunned for a while, then hesitantly said, "Is it all?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Except for the special direct performances, they will be sent to the cabinet for drafting first, and then sent over."

Now is the orthodox year, the cabinet has not been formally formed, and even the name has not been fully established.

At this time, the cabinet was just a dispatch for consultation, and was called into Zhiwenyuan Pavilion.

As for the voting system, it has not been completely determined.

After Emperor Taizu abolished the prime minister and withdrew from the Central Book Province, a large number of court affairs were placed on the emperor.

Emperor Taizu could bear it, but when Emperor Xuanzong came to him, he gradually couldn't bear it.

So he began to appoint Silijian to participate in government affairs and share the pressure. At the same time, he also set up a cabinet and counselor for maintenance, but the focus was still on Silijian. After all, the Silijian could help the emperor handle the affairs of the state at any time in the inner court.

It was not until the death of Emperor Xuanzong and the time when San Yang was in charge that the status of the cabinet gradually improved.

Because of the young and weak today, the government is almost all handled by Sanyang, in order to allow the emperor to learn government affairs at the same time.

San Yang usually writes the general situation and handling opinions on the memorial. When it comes to the emperor, it only needs approval or disapproval.

Greatly lightened the burden of the little emperor, just follow it!
But at this time, voting was not the authority of the cabinet, but the authority of Sanyang as the auxiliary minister, and the government and the opposition did not consider voting as a matter of the cabinet at all.

It was not until later that the Si Lijian was in power and continued to have the power to block the sacred hearing. Both the courtiers and the emperor realized that between the outer court and the inner court, there was a need for an agency to reconcile the inside and outside, and the cabinet was really given the power to vote. Even in the end, because of this special effect, he gradually overwhelmed the six divisions and became the first Kui Ge Lao.

But now, the cabinet is far from this status. After San Yang died of illness, the cabinet has changed back to the status of consultation more, and can only vote for some trivial matters, and the voting system is almost abolished.

This time, the capital suddenly encountered a major event, and the memorials submitted were basically important matters. Jin Ying naturally followed the rules and took it directly to the Jiyi Palace.

At this moment, when Zhu Qiyu said that the voting system should be restored, Jin Ying couldn't help being shocked.

After hesitating again and again, Jin Ying said, "Your Highness, think twice, the voting system is, after all, an expedient measure when San Yang is assisting the government. If a system is formed, it will probably make the civil servants sit on the throne..."

Zhu Qiyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jin Ying.

He really did not expect that Jin Ying would say these words.

It should be said that what Jin Ying said is not bad at all. The votes and approvals are in themselves the category of imperial power.

The imperial court already had a Secretary of General Affairs, which was used to receive memorials, upload them, and do not need a cabinet to perform this duty.

Therefore, if you send it to the cabinet first, you can only give out the power that was proposed by the vote.

As a result, it is bound to make the cabinet bigger and further expand the power of the civil servants.

This is also confirmed by the Ming generation.

In any case, Jin Ying is an internal minister. From the perspective of imperial power, this should be avoided.

Subject power and imperial power are opposed to each other most of the time. The stronger the subject power, the weaker the imperial power.

From the emperor's point of view, most of the time, what should be done is to strengthen the imperial power.

but……

This is the idea of ​​someone who has never been an emperor.

Having the experience of the previous life, and having seen the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, Zhu Qiyu knew in his heart that the imperial power and the vassal power are the best state only when they are relatively balanced.

He naturally understands that if the ministerial power is too strong, it will oppress the imperial power, but he has his own considerations.

First, the establishment of the cabinet is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty!
This is the most important prerequisite.

Aside from the relationship between ministerial power and imperial power, the actual role of the cabinet is to reconcile the internal and external, and improve the average level of government affairs.

In the final analysis, it is risky to entrust all the government affairs of the court to the emperor alone.

If the ruler is a bright ruler, then everything will be fine, but if the ruler is ignorant or lacking in ability, the operation of government affairs will be greatly affected.

The ministers of the cabinet are at least selected from among thousands of scholars, and the basic ability to handle the affairs of the state is sufficient.

Entrust the state affairs to the system, not to the emperor's personal qualities.

This is beneficial to the stability of Daming!
In addition, Zhu Qiyu seriously reflected on the reasons for his failure in the previous life, in addition to being seriously ill and having no son.

There is also a very important reason, that is, the great politics is maintained by the king.

Therefore, as long as he fell ill and did not see the DPRK for three days, the government affairs piled up like a mountain, and the courtiers panicked.

It is truly "a country cannot live without a king"...

In the years when he was the emperor, he worked hard to rule, and his body was exhausted.

Therefore, proper decentralization is necessary.

What's more, the facts have proved that the cabinet is not the prime minister after all.

Even if they have the right to vote, it is the emperor's power, and the word "generation" can lock them firmly.

In the Ming Dynasty, even when the cabinet was powerful, it was difficult to win the struggle against the imperial power, but there was no need to worry too much.

As for Wenchen's power...

Zhu Qiyu also has his own considerations.

So he didn't say much, just smiled and said.

"Eunuch Jin's considerations are justified, but at this special time, I will help each other and don't need to be limited by power, you can do it yourself!"

Hearing the song and knowing the elegance, Jin Ying knew that Zhu Qiyu was perfunctory to him as soon as he heard it.

But at this time, the court relies heavily on the civil servants, the queen mother of the harem can't get involved, and Zhu Qiyu, the King Yu, has no objection. Even if he is worried, he can't stop it, and he can only say yes.

When the two of them said this, two little servants came in, said a few words in Cheng Jing's ear, and handed them a piece of brocade.

After Cheng Jing heard this, his face changed for a while, and then he let the two little servants back down.

Walking in front of Zhu Qiyu, Cheng Jing glanced at Jin Ying strangely, handed over the silk in his hand, and then whispered.

"My lord, just now, the decree came to report that the empress dowager had issued a decree, and the eldest son of the emperor was registered as the crown prince. The decree has been countersigned by the decree and sent to the Ministry of Rites..."
