Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 450
What Zhu Changyuan said, although the officials were listening, they didn't know how to respond, and even many people couldn't understand what he was talking about!
So even more speechless.

But this does not affect Zhu Changyuan's determination to reform.

"I have drawn up a draft, take it back and study it carefully, you can ask me directly if you have any questions, and you can also bring up the things you don't understand for discussion."

As soon as Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, Cao Huachun beside him took out a stack of documents, ran to each of the ministers of His Royal Highness to distribute a copy, and said while sending out: "My lords, study it carefully after you go back, don't disappoint Your Majesty's hope!"

"Okay, let's play if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!" Zhu Changyuan said.

"I have something to do!"

Xue Guoguan didn't have time to read the documents issued by Zhu Changyuan, so he took out a memorial from his bosom to Cao Huachun, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a memorial sent by the king of Joseon, about his easy storage!"

"Oh?" Zhu Changyuan smiled.

He had known about this for a long time, didn't it mean that the king of Joseon, Li Yu, wanted to abolish the original son Li Hao and re-appoint Li Hao as his son?It can be said that this incident was planned by him, Zhu Changyuan, in order to repay Li Hao's favor.

"What's your opinion?" Zhu Changyuan pretended to be ignorant and asked Xue Guoguan.

Although Xue Guoguan didn't know Zhu Changyuan's attitude on this matter, he knew that Zhu Changyuan had a close relationship with the Joseon Dynasty. After all, Princess Xiaohe, who is now Concubine Duangui, was from the Joseon Dynasty.

Therefore, in the face of Zhu Changyuan's inquiry, he said a more universal sentence: "This is a big matter, and His Majesty alone is the master!"

Zhu Changyuan was not happy when he heard that, he threw Li Hao's notebook far away, and said: "If this is the case, there will be no need to report it in the future!"

After hearing Zhu Changyuan's words, the officials couldn't help trembling in their hearts, and secretly raised their eyes to look at Zhu Changyuan's face, hoping to see something.

"From now on, for all the memorials submitted by the cabinet to me, you must write down your opinions on how to deal with it. Whether you agree or disagree, and what is the reason, you must write it clearly. If I decide everything, you must What are you ministers doing?"

Zhu Changyuan's words undoubtedly caused a huge earthquake among the ministers.

The cabinet ministers have to formulate opinions on everything, that is to say, the power of the cabinet ministers will become greater and greater, but the strange thing is that although the power of the cabinet ministers has increased, the emperor's rights have become greater, and the emperor does not use it at all. Spent so much time dealing with various issues.

For Zhu Changyuan himself, he really wants to decentralize power, and this is the first step in decentralizing power.

In the future, with the increase of the army, with the development of science and technology, with the growing of the Ming Empire, and with the continuous emergence of new things, the entire empire will face more and more things and things. It is impossible to solve everything completely.

Then people are needed, ministers are needed to help share the burden, and at the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that those ministers do not exercise too much power when they are working, too much!
This is undoubtedly a difficult subject, even in modern society.

Zhu Changyuan tried to break through it, but he still has no clue.

The only useful idea is to expand the scope of decentralization, not to a certain person, but to a certain group of people, so that everyone can supervise and support each other.

"Maybe this will be better?" Zhu Changyuan sighed, thinking helplessly in his heart.

After all, there is not yet a sufficiently suitable system for the coming superpower.Everything needs to cross the river by feeling the stones.For example, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have already been entrusted, but Zhu Changyuan will not tolerate them forever. Sooner or later, after they take the land outside the country for themselves, they must prepare their knives.

The so-called cunning rabbit is a sad story when it is put on others, but once he is the perpetrator of this story, the emperor's mood is also helpless.

"Report to Your Majesty!" Zhongguang Shiheng cupped his hands towards Zhu Changyuan and said loudly: "The son of the king of Joseon is the eldest son. Since the king of Joseon wants to depose the son, he must list his faults. However, the ministers and others are not in the imperial edict. See the fault of the son of Joseon."

Zhu Changyuan nodded, and said, "What Master Shi said is true!"

Turning to the rest of the people, "Do you have any different opinions?"

The courtiers below were silent for a while, and then Tang Wang Zhu Yujian stood up, bowed his hands to Zhu Changyuan and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Doctor Guang's words, since the son is not at fault, the king of Joseon cannot use selfish love to abandon righteousness. If His Majesty approves the request of the king of Joseon, then all the people in the world who don’t like sons-in-law can use this as an excuse to abolish the elders and establish the young, and abolish the sons to establish love. Confucius said: The one who started the evil will have no heirs, that’s how it is!”

Zhu Yujian would definitely object, which was expected by Zhu Changyuan.

After all, he is the biggest victim of abolishing love.If it weren't for the old Tang Wang liking his youngest son, Zhu Yujian and his elder son would not have been imprisoned in the prison-like flattery department for 16 years.

Zhu Changyuan couldn't help but nodded again.

Although he really wanted to put Li Hao on the throne, there was no good reason, so I couldn't say that Lao Tzu just likes this man as his son, right?If that were the case, the world would have been messed up long ago.

"Okay, what the king of Tang said is very true!" Zhu Changyuan not only nodded, but also clapped his hands, sighed, and said: "The king of Tang suffered misfortune when he was young, and I feel very sad, but the deceased is gone, so there is no need to pursue it." .”

"The cabinet drafted a decree!" Zhu Changyuan made a decision on the spot, saying: "Confess the king of Tang as the uncle of the Ming Dynasty, and give three hundred guards. The order, the king of Tang can choose a young sage from his descendants and send it to the court to be my guard! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian was moved to tears at that time.

This is the honor that countless feudal lords have dreamed of. A young man can be selected from among his children and grandchildren and sent to the palace, which means that their family can have a direct dialogue with the emperor in the future; When will the prince get this kind of treatment? The prince of the Ming Dynasty can lead troops. Although it is only a pitiful three hundred, this is also a thriving existence among all the vassal princes of the Ming Dynasty.

These are nothing?
The most important thing is the title of "Da Ming Emperor Uncle".

This is a unique title for Zhu Changyuan back then, but now Zhu Changyuan has given this title to himself, what does this mean?It shows that the emperor trusts him, and shows that the emperor attaches great importance to him, so take a high look!
Coupled with the above two privileges, Zhu Yujian felt that he was now the first vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

Wait, it seems that this king has not made any contribution other than coming here to present the congratulatory form in person.Why did the emperor get this reward?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yujian couldn't help shivering, shivering for a while.

However, let's forget about it.

"Observe the decree!" The cabinet Xue Guoguan received the decree, and then looked at Zhu Yujian, with naked envy and hatred in his eyes!
"Okay, let's discuss the matter of the king's son of North Korea here first, and the cabinet will officially issue a document later." Zhu Changyuan pondered for more than ten seconds when he said this, and then looked at the courtiers who were waiting for his next words, and said: "Let Li Yu List the crimes of the son!"

"Pfft!" The courtiers below almost wanted to spit in Zhu Changyuan's face, if they dared.

What the hell is this?

Let the king of Joseon list the crimes of the prince, even if you support Li Hao, you don't have to make it so obvious.We thought you would say that the request of the King of Joseon was dismissed.

But, after all, this guy is the emperor, he didn't directly deny the minister's opinion at the first time, but gave it to the next step, which is already very face-saving.Therefore, the cabinet ministers can only follow suit.

"Let's talk about another thing!" Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, stood on the imperial steps without sitting down, and continued to talk freely: "In order to adapt to the requirements of the times, in order to cater to the coming super Ming Empire, I feel that the current The official system is a little inconvenient, and I want to make some minor changes, and I ask all the ministers to give advice and advice, and I will not hesitate to teach you!"

When Zhu Changyuan spoke, his tone was extremely humble, as if he really wanted to make some "subtle" changes to the official system, as if he really wanted to ask for advice.

"I dare not!" The courtiers below bowed their hands.

Zhu Changyuan said: "The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment are six departments. At that time, the Emperor Taizu established six departments, which were in line with the conditions of heaven and the talents of the land. Therefore, our Ming Empire was established in China and worshiped in all directions. 270 Four years have passed!"

"However, time has changed and the world has changed, one time and another time! Now I raise the armies of the princes to attack the world, and use the means of agriculture to assist the world's Yuanyuan sentient beings, with the benefits of water and electricity, railways, steel and so on. So, I think that since the world is changing, my official system in Ming Dynasty will also change."

"What I mean is that on the basis of the old six departments, six new departments will be added, namely: the Ministry of Electric Power, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Chemical Industry, the Ministry of Medical Care, and the Ministry of Railways. What do you think?"

puff!
The courtiers below are almost furious. There were originally six departments in this Nima, and now there are six more departments. Your Majesty, I don’t read much, so don’t lie to me. Are you sure this is just a "slight" change?

This is not a change, it's simply slashing at the existing system of Ming Dynasty with a big knife.

"Your Majesty, this, this..." Even the most upright old minister Shang Zhouzuo couldn't accept it, stood up and opposed it openly, and said: "Your Majesty, now that the world is initially settled, it should be for the people, why not follow the example of Huang Laozhi in the early Han Dynasty?" If you hang down the arch, you will rule, and if you worry about it, you will lose stability, and if you lose stability, you will be chaotic..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jiang Fengyuan came out and knelt down, admonishing Zhu Changyuan with an unusually serious face, and said: "My lord Shang is right, the world is now set, and the most important thing is to raise the people to strengthen the foundation of the country. Only when the foundation of the country is fixed can reforms be made, I advise Your Majesty to think twice, after all, haste makes waste!"

Zhu Changyuan was also drunk. Only a little bit of his system policy was released, and all the officials couldn't bear it. If they released all their brains, I'm afraid the common people would not accept it.
