Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 890 The first sword of the new king, first cut the officialdom in Zhejiang!
In the 23rd year of Zhaowu, the seventeenth day of the first month.

Emperor Zhaowu of the Ming Dynasty officially abdicated, and was passed down to Prince Zhu Hechen.

After deliberation by the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Hechen finally chose the word "Qianyuan" as the year name.

In history, the word "Qianyuan" was once used as the year name by Emperor Suzong of Tang Dynasty, and it was only used for three years.Originally, changing the year name was not the first choice of the year name discussed by the Ministry of Rites, but Zhu Hechen chose this year name because he loved the four characters "Dazai Qianyuan" in "Book of Changes".

Thinking of Emperor Zhaowu's kindness and achievements in Daming, the new emperor and his ministers discussed that next year will be the first year of Emperor Qianyuan of Ming Dynasty, and this year will still be the 23rd year of Zhaowu.

In the 23rd year of Zhaowu, the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

Zhu Hechen, Emperor Qianyuan of the Ming Dynasty, summoned his cabinet ministers to the Hall of Wuying for his first cabinet meeting after he ascended the throne.

Auntie Zhu was a little worried about her son's performance in "going to court" for the first time, and was even afraid that he would not be able to control the situation. Originally, she wanted to "listen to politics behind the curtain" for a while.But under Hao Guangming's persuasion, Auntie Zhu finally changed her mind.

Hao Guangming believed that if Aunt Zhu was there, it would put more pressure on Zhu Hechen, and make the ministers fearful, so it would be difficult to see the real situation of the new monarch getting along with the ministers.

Therefore, Hao Guangming suggested that Auntie Zhu get two cameras to record the scene of Zhu Hechen's "going up court" in the Hall of Wuying, and there is no need to go and watch it in person.

In this way, the new monarch and the ministers will not be restrained, and Aimee Zhu can also see some problems between Zhu Hechen and the ministers through the recorded video.

In order to better achieve this goal, the two cameras set up in the Hall of Martial Heroes are relatively hidden and are not known to the officials.

Zhu Hechen naturally knew that the cameras existed, but as long as Aimi Zhu wasn't in the hall, he wouldn't feel any pressure.

Of course, it was the first time for him to sit on the dragon chair as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and discuss matters with the cabinet ministers. He still had emotions such as nervousness, excitement, and excitement, but they were barely concealed by his youthful but calm face.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Flat body."

After the ceremony, all the cabinet ministers took their seats in the hall.

Compared with five or six years ago, the cabinet ministers have undergone major changes.

Five years ago, Ma Shiying, the first assistant, was impeached by the imperial envoy because of his relatives' crimes. He resigned as the first assistant and returned to his hometown. He died of illness not long after.

Although Lu Daqi sat on the position of chief assistant as he wished, he also resigned due to illness two years ago.

After that, Du Yinxi succeeded as the first assistant and also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials; Zhu Zhiyu served as the second assistant and also the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, which has not changed until now.

In addition, the number of cabinet ministers has increased to nine, and the remaining seven are Minister of Household Affairs Chen Zilong, Minister of Industry Chen Yujie, Minister of Finance Su Guansheng, Minister of Police Qi Biaojia, Minister of Communications Wanji Wanji, Minister of Commerce Qian Sule, and the Minister of Publicity. Minister Huang Chunyao.

It can be said that they are all famous ministers who have risen from the middle and lower levels in the past two decades.

Every cabinet minister's resume can write a legendary novel.

It can be seen from this that there is a reason for the ruling and opposition parties to worry that the new emperor is too young to suppress these cabinet ministers and those ministers of military affairs with many meritorious deeds.

After the meeting started, Zhu Hechen imitated Aimee Zhu's style, and first asked Nvshi to distribute two documents to the cabinet ministers.

When all the cabinet ministers looked at the contents of the document, Zhu Hechen said with great anger: "What all the cabinet ministers saw was that last year the Zhejiang Provincial Supervision Office formed a special task force to investigate the worker riots at the Luoshi Spinning Mill in Wuyi County, Jinhua Prefecture. The report of one incident; the other is a report uploaded after the special investigation team was secretly formed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to re-investigate the matter during the Chinese New Year.

For the same incident, the report of the Special Affairs Group of the Zhejiang Provincial Supervision Office is so different from the report of the Special Affairs Group of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I wonder what you think about it? "

The nine cabinet ministers quickly read the report with little actual content, and either frowned, or showed a cold expression, or remained angry, or had a calm and unpredictable face.

Soon, Chief Assistant Du Yinxi got up and cupped his hands, his face sank like water and he said: "Your Majesty, if the report by the special affairs team of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is correct, it means that the collusion between officials and businessmen in Zhejiang has probably become a common practice, involving the provincial government.

Collusion between officials and businessmen has always been a major cause of official corruption. I am afraid that the official administration in Zhejiang has become muddy.Chen Tian was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He had an unshirkable responsibility and was willing to accept the punishment.

In addition, Chen Zuo asked the Procuratorate to launch a large-scale investigation of officials in Zhejiang to thoroughly investigate all corruption! "

Hearing this, the other cabinet ministers showed a slight strange look.

In recent years, the imperial court has been focusing on the economic construction of each province. Zhejiang Province can be ranked in the top three besides Zhili in the north and south. It can be said that it has been in the limelight for many years among the more than 30 provinces in the Ming Dynasty.

On the other hand, Du Yinxi has been a cabinet minister since the local governor entered the center, and then served as the second assistant and the first assistant. It can be said that he was an important minister and a favorite minister in the Zhaowu Dynasty for more than [-] years. His old officials are all over the world.

But the first sword of the new king after succeeding to the throne was first on the issue of the administration of officials in Zhejiang Province, and also on Du Yinxi, the chief assistant who also served as the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

If the people of the world knew about this, they would probably be shocked, and they would also be moved by the courage and courage of the new king.

However, as cabinet ministers, Du Yinxi admitted responsibility and punishment so frankly, but they thought that Du Yinxi wanted to use the prestige and reputation he had accumulated over the past [-] years to knock mountains and shake tigers and remove obstacles for the new monarch's pro-government .

For this, they can only think of one word, and that is "absolutely"!
Du Yinxi is so knowledgeable, the new emperor will definitely not punish him severely, and will even trust him more in the future.

Sure enough, Zhu Hechen said: "Yuan Fu is the head of the cabinet ministers, and he manages a lot of things every day, and Zhejiang Province is only one of the more than 30 provinces in our Ming Dynasty. How can you blame Yuan Fu for the corruption of its officials?"

Du Yinxi insisted: "The minister is the minister of the Ministry of officials, so he has an unshirkable responsibility. Please punish him by your majesty."

Zhu Hechen sighed: "There is no rush on this matter. Let's discuss it after the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigates the official circles in Zhejiang Province and finds out the situation."

Du Yinxi no longer persisted, and sat down with his arms folded.

Zhu Hechen signaled Nvshi to distribute another document to the cabinet ministers.

"The second topic is about the 'slaves' group in China. Although I, Ming Dynasty, abolished slavery since the founding of the country, it has always been covered up under other names.

Until the Zhaowu Dynasty, the imperial court strictly prohibited people from being slaves, so this trend was stopped.But then, there were businessmen who used the name of hiring foreigners to work in Daming at a low price, and practiced slave trading.

In the past 20 years, the number of foreign slaves in our Ming Dynasty has exceeded one million.If the court ignores this matter, I am afraid that in a few decades, the number of other slaves will reach tens of millions, and by then there will be many disadvantages and even disasters.

Those who plan for the country should consider the long-term, so it is better to deal with this matter early.What do you think about this? "

Regarding this matter, all the cabinet ministers have known about it for a long time and have thought about it.When Zhu Hechen asked about this matter, they stood up one after another to speak.

In this way, Emperor Qianyuan of the Ming Dynasty officially began to slowly take over the huge empire...
People all over the world were worried about Emperor Zhaowu's abdication. It can be seen that after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the world is still peaceful and happy. They even made heavy blows to rectify the administration of officials in Zhejiang Province and other places. This is the official atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty once again, and most of them feel at ease. .
