Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 84
The canonization ceremony this time has fundamentally determined the new ruling system of the imperial court.

Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, since the matter has been announced in front of the civil and military officials, the next step is the procedural ceremony.

For ordinary court officials, this also means that they can finally concentrate on official duties without worrying about standing in line.

As a result, Daming, a powerful machine that had been shut down due to changes in civil engineering, finally started running at high speed again.

A few days passed in a flash, and seven days had passed since the canonization ceremony.

The Ming Dynasty's system of court meetings can be roughly divided into the Great Dynasty, the Chang Dynasty and the Japanese Dynasty.

The Great Dynasty is held only three times a year, on the Zhengdan, the Winter Solstice and the Longevity Festival on the emperor's birthday.

The Chang Dynasty is held twice a month, also known as the Synodic Dynasty, which is held on the first and fifteenth days of each month.

These two kinds of court meetings are large-scale court meetings, which are usually held in Fengtian Hall. In Beijing, the civil and military officials, whether they are the officials in charge, the second officials, or the officials to be elected, all those who are above the seventh rank need to participate.

Relatively speaking, the Great Court is a purely ceremonial meeting. The Chang Dynasty is also very polite, but it also handles some court affairs. However, because of the large number of participants, the Chang Dynasty is used to announce the negotiated decrees.

For a regular dynasty like this, the Ministry of Rites will usually finalize all the procedures in advance, and then the ministers will go through all the procedures in a straight-forward manner under the guidance of the ceremonial officials.

Strictly speaking, if you leave out the fact that there is no emperor, the canonization ceremony that day can barely be compared to a special dynasty.

As for the common people's perception, the court meeting where the emperor and his courtiers discuss government affairs is called the Japanese court, also known as the early court, which is the scene that often appears in the play of "playing the court when there is something, and withdrawing from the court when there is nothing to do".

The Zao Dynasty is different from the Chang Dynasty, because it is a court meeting that really handles government affairs, so the atmosphere, content, and personnel involved are relatively free.

Under normal circumstances, those who are qualified to participate in the early court are senior officials of the third rank or above. In addition, among the six divisions, the thirteen chief censors and the officials of the seventh rank or above of the Hanlin Academy can also attend.

If sometimes, some government affairs involve the yamen below the third rank, the officer in charge can also attend as a non-voting delegate.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Zhu Qiyu has presided over such a Japanese dynasty.

In the past, although he was in charge of state affairs, he was not a monarch, so more often, he relied on petitions and criticisms.

However, it should be noted that it is not efficient to rely solely on filing and arranging comments, and collegial discussions between important ministers are usually important matters of the military.

This is what the courtiers have been saying these past few days, that the decree is difficult to get through.

Without a monarch, there would be no way to hold a formal Japanese dynasty, and it would be difficult to fully exert the efficiency of the imperial court.

Now, although the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, the status has been determined, so the Japanese Dynasty and the classic banquet have basically recovered.

In the Jiyi Hall, Zhu Qiyu sat on the head, with Jin Ying and Chengjing behind him, and a group of ministers standing at the bottom.

Japan and the DPRK didn't pay so much attention, and more courtiers performed matters, so after all the ministers finished their salute, he opened his mouth and said directly.

"Everyone is exempted from the ceremony, today is the Japanese Dynasty, and if you have something to do, you can bring it up."

The voice fell, and the first one to come out was Li Kan, who was in the middle of the incident, and said.

"His Royal Highness, the minister said three things. The so-called law of war and defense is used properly. Under the current situation, we should not stick to one pattern and let down talents. The minister asks His Highness to order the military department to select brave and intelligent people in the ranks of military officials and officers, regardless of their quality. The rank is high or low, ask his strategy, try his bow and horse, and if he can use it, he can be entrusted with heavy responsibility."

"The great defeat of our army this time is due to the lack of armament and the fact that the army is roaming around. I invite His Highness to appoint a number of officials from the capital to go to Beizhili, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, and choose strong people. Five thousand people are appropriate for each government, and when the drills are available, two thousand people will be selected to go to Beijing to hear and kill the thieves.”

"The thieves and captives are good at cavalry. If you want to control their rush, you should use chariots. There are thousands of mules and carts inside and outside the capital, which can be used as chariots. During the war, they cooperate with our infantry. , every five people form a team, armed with swords and axes, using chariots as cover, and forming a formation to meet the enemy."

Zhu Qiyu nodded. It should be said that at this time, there are still quite a few civil servants who are knowledgeable about military affairs. The suggestions made by Li Kan are quite suitable for the current situation.

but……

Turning his head to the side, Zhu Qiyu asked Wu Chen.

"Five Army Governor's Office, do you think these three discussions are feasible?"

Since the last court meeting, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion finally has someone to talk to. Guo Sheng is the oldest and is in charge of the Central Army Governor's Mansion, followed by Zhao Rong, who is in charge of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion, and finally Shi Jing, who is in charge. After the military governor's office.

In Li Kan's briefing just now, it was mentioned that officials were dispatched to nearby places to practice people's strength. Among them, Beizhili belonged to the governor's office of the central army, Shandong belonged to the governor's office of the left army, and Shanxi and other places belonged to the governor's office of the rear army.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu did not specify which person, but directly asked the five military governor's office.

However, when he asked what he said, the ministers of Jiuqing below glanced at Yu Qian, but did not speak.

It was Guo Sheng who finally came out to answer. Although the Five Army Governor's Mansion was on the same level, it was usually centered on the Central Military Governor's Mansion.

"His Royal Highness, I think that among the three discussions, the government of the five armies is preparing for the selection of generals, and the chariot method can also be implemented, but there are already officers and troops under the jurisdiction of the chief guards in various places, so the minister thinks that there is no need to send them separately. When officials leave the capital, they can be recruited on the spot by local officials to train people.”

In the final analysis, there are still conflicts between civil and military affairs. Even if there is a bridging above the court, there will be no conflict on the surface, but the struggle in the dark will continue.

Zhu Qiyu felt the same as Der Spiegel. Li Kan's suggestions were available, but they were all from the point of view of a civil servant.

Especially the first two, the first one is to continue to open the door in the five military governor's mansion, and the second one is to reach out to the local officials.

As a military minister, Guo Sheng also naturally objected.

So Li Kan continued: "His Royal Highness, the appointment of low-level generals has always been the responsibility of the Ministry of War, not to mention that the defense of the capital now relies heavily on the Beijing camp. If you want to select generals, you should come out of the capital camp, and Yu Shangshu will supervise the capital camp and let him come. It is most suitable to be in charge of selecting talents.”

"As for the election of the electorate, the military preparations in various places have been defunct for a long time, and officials in various places are lax and malpractices. If the election is handed over to the guards of the various capitals, it may not be effective for a period of time. Therefore, the minister believes that the elected officials of the capital are in the name of imperial envoys. Go to various places and train your troops as soon as possible."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, and he had to say that Li Kan's reasons were very strong.

Most of the capital's officers and troops are from the Beijing camp. Since Yu Qian is in charge of the Beijing camp now, it is natural that the selection will be presided over by the Ministry of War.

As for the other one, it's also true. Daming's current armament situation is really not optimistic. What is needed now is to quickly train a group of usable troops. If the officials of the Du Division do it, I don't know when it will be delayed.

Therefore, after hesitating for a short time, Zhu Qiyu said: "In this case, the selection of generals will be carried out by the Five Army Governor's Office in conjunction with the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will also be responsible for the selection of voters, and ordered local officials to cooperate."

So this matter is over, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, although unwilling, can only retreat. After all, Jingying is now in the hands of the Ministry of War, and His Highness can let the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion participate in it, which is already very face-saving.

Next came Li Shi, Li Kezhi.

Li Shi made a presentation and suggested that the trees near the nine gates be cut down to avoid affecting the sight of the guards.

The courtiers had no opinion on this one, and Zhu Qiyu agreed.

The one who came out later was Shanxi Daoist Censor Jinda, and what he played was related to Quanxuan.

"His Royal Highness, my northern Zhili, Baoding and other prefectures are the borders of Jidian, but now there are many mediocre and weak and incompetent officials in various places, the minister asks the Ministry of Officials to advance the Jingcha, and at the same time selects the main officials of the Zhili prefectures. Investigate those who are ignorant of their usual political achievements, and make them serve as officials, and they will be selected as soon as possible, and the vacancies in various places will be filled by the competent Congolese people selected by the Ministry of Personnel."

After Jin Da finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion from below, and Zhu Qiyu did not answer immediately after listening.

You know, Jingcha is no small matter!
The so-called Jingcha refers to a large-scale assessment of officials in the capital held every three years under the auspices of the Ministry of Personnel.

The last Jingcha was two years ago, and it was still a year away from the original Jingcha period.

This matter was originally in charge of the Ministry of Officials, so Zhu Qiyu turned around and asked Wang Zhi.

"Otsukazai, Jinda proposes to advance the Jingcha, what does the Ministry of Officials mean?"

Wang Zhi didn't hesitate, and went out of class: "His Royal Highness Rong Yi, in the civil and military battle, my court suffered heavy losses in civil and military affairs, and many vacancies have not yet been selected. In the current war, stability should be the main priority. The minister thinks that Jingcha has been involved. Great, it shouldn't be held at this moment."

Since Wang Zhi, the official of the Ministry of Personnel, did not agree, Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment, and said: "In this case, the Ministry of Personnel will arrange the selection of officials for the vacant official positions as soon as possible. Although it is not appropriate to hold the Beijing inspection, what Jin Da said is also reasonable. Outside of Gyeonggi, the main court officials of the yamen in Beizhili can be selected, and if there are weak and weak people, they can be selected together."

Restricted to outside the capital, the upright officials within Beizhili, the scope is much smaller, and the turmoil will not be too big, so Wang Zhi handed down his orders.

After that, the Shuntian House reported the recent security situation in the capital, and the Ministry of Household reported the transportation of grain and grass in various places, as well as the silver and two grains that the treasury could call.

Until the Minister of Rites, Hu Yu, came out and said.

"His Royal Highness, the Ministry of Rites has prepared a note on the enthronement ceremony. According to Qintian's monitoring and calculation, the enthronement ceremony is planned to be held on the first day of September. Please take a look at it."

It's been nearly an hour since this early morning, and the sun has risen high. To be honest, the bosses are a little tired and hungry, and they look forward to an early end.

The Ministry of Rites has always been noble, and most of the things he said are programmed, so Mr. Hu's appearance on the line is basically over.

So the ministers couldn't help but start to lose their minds.

However, what was unexpected was that His Royal Highness King Yu looked at this ceremonial note for a long time, until the courtiers at the bottom couldn't help it, and secretly looked up.

Only then did Zhu Qiyu put down the remarks and said.

"We have been discussing for a long time today, so let's end it for now! The seven ministers, the cabinet and the governor of the five army governor's office will stay, and there are other matters to discuss."
