Qiming 1158

Chapter 1524 He is no longer arbitrary
At the moment when Su Yonglin is about to step down as emperor and end the existence of imperial power, the situation of all cabinet members has become quite embarrassing.

When Su Yonglin was the emperor, he dealt with a large number of government affairs and had high requirements, so he needed the assistance of many people, otherwise he would die of exhaustion, so he had a large number of cabinet members, and most of them were young capable people. Lean.

They were originally responsible for connecting with various departments of the imperial court, whether it was the administrative department, the judicial department or the military department, they all had experience in connecting with each other, and they were Su Yonglin's important helpers.

Now the cabinet does not need to exist. Seeing that the members of the cabinet are about to lose their jobs, Su Yonglin has arranged new jobs for them.

That is to say, a public security management department responsible for the daily public security management of the people will be established nationwide, and the backbone will be composed of the elite members of the cabinet plus some professionals drawn from various departments.

Eight years before Hongwu, the daily security management in most areas of the Ming Dynasty relied on some traditional security management forces, and there was no special responsible department.

The judicial department at the central and local levels has an organization called Judicial Officers, which is a violent institution.

However, the legal guards mainly target the crimes of the ruling groups, and they are often handled by court officials. Of course, they have sufficient deterrent force for major judicial cases, but if you expect that there are not so many legal guards involved in some civil disputes, then is more difficult.

They have their own things to do, and if things like civil affairs disputes are also managed together, it is estimated that they will be crazy busy.

However, the most common thing in daily life is the trivial civil disputes. There are so many things about the three melons and two jujubes in the civil society. It is a small matter, but it is really impossible to not deal with it.

Many civil conflicts that have caused headaches for the imperial court in the future often start from a spat or two disputes.

For example, in the ninth year of Hongwu, the conflict between two collective farms in Henan Province was a dispute between the farmers of the two farms catching fish in a river at the junction of the two sides.

The local officials did not take it seriously, and the revival organization did not take effective measures, which almost led to a large-scale fight.

To this end, the Zhongdu court removed relevant officials from the counties where the two collective farms belonged, because they would not intervene for fear of trouble.

The headquarters of the Renaissance Association also withdrew the guiding organizations of the two collective farms of the Renaissance Association, because they did not intervene in time, and instead, they became more and more conflicted.

However, Zhongdu also reflected on it later, realizing that they were insufficient in grass-roots law enforcement, and the lack of professional response agencies led to local departments wrangling and kicking the ball against civil disputes.

Su Yonglin also thought deeply for a while, and felt that the establishment of the public security department was urgent.

In ancient times, the population of the whole country was small, and most of them were tied to the ground and unable to move. The occurrence of public security incidents was artificially reduced. Many local officials and officials were sufficient to deal with public security problems in a county area.

But all this has changed in Ming Dynasty.

One is the large-scale increase in population, and the other is the increase in population mobility, which will increase the difficulty of public security management.

In the future, with population growth and industrial upgrading, with the relatively relaxed household registration system in Ming Dynasty and its supportive attitude towards business development, public security problems will only increase and not decrease. Without a professional public security management department, it will definitely not work.

Su Yonglin had planned to change this situation for a long time, but lacked energy and time.

Now that the country is generally stable, the external enemies have basically been beaten, and the internal enemies have also been cleaned up.

Su Yonglin authorized Chen Daohe to the Ministry of Public Security to select members from retired soldiers, members of the rural Self-Defense Forces and other armed groups with certain qualities across the country, and to prepare for the establishment of public security organizations at all levels across the country. Safeguard jobs.

This is a huge financial expenditure, and it will also divide the original power structure in various places, which is a shock to the current political ecology of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the nine-member decision-making group organized relevant personnel to conduct many discussions, during which some people agreed, and some people opposed it out of concerns about national stability.

In the end, because of Su Yonglin's insistence, the nine-member decision-making group passed the resolution unanimously, and decided to appoint Chen Dao as the director of the Ministry of Public Security of the Ming Dynasty, who was solely responsible for establishing the organizational structure of this department.

So far, the division of powers and responsibilities of the nine-member group has basically been determined, and it is not too late to arrange some minor issues after the Central Representative Conference and the People's Representative Conference are fully convened.

This decision was made by Su Yonglin as an emperor. He used his identity as an emperor to end the emperor's power, and no one objected or resisted.

After everything was confirmed, Su Yonglin fully disclosed this matter to the court and society, demonstrating his determination to carry out a comprehensive and thorough political reform.

This move made everyone in the court realize that Su Yonglin was really playing with the truth, not just talking shit.

He really divided the imperial power as an emperor, ended the era of his own power, and made the Ming Dynasty truly begin to move towards the era of collective leadership.

After this decision was officially promulgated, although Su Yonglin still had the title of emperor in name, everyone knew that it was not too long before he completely dismissed this title.

On the day when the Central Representative Conference and the People's Representative Conference are officially held, it is estimated that Su Yonglin will end the monarchy with integrity.

The name and existence of the emperor will be officially terminated by collective decision-making under the collective vote of the Central Representative Conference and the People's Representative Conference, and it has since become a historical term.

The members of the decision-making group were inexplicably excited about this situation, but they didn't know whether they should show that kind of joy from the bottom of their hearts in front of Su Yonglin.

Because their power came from the imperial power that Su Yonglin voluntarily gave up.

Because of Su Yonglin's initiative to transfer and decentralize power, they were able to have this crucial decision-making power, allowing them to truly become the helms of the country, not the ones who follow orders.

Su Yonglin did it by himself, gave up his "life", split the supreme imperial power, and truly gave it to this organization.

He really began to give up exercising the emperor's supreme authority, and only according to his own settings, was in charge of the military power and the power to manage the Ministry of Industry, expressing his own views and making decisions in these two aspects.

Regarding administration, justice, finance, etc., Su Yonglin also began to fulfill his previous commitments, and began to gradually hand over the decision-making power to the members of the decision-making team, participating in it himself, but did not express any opinions, only holding the veto power.

Although Su Yonglin, who holds this series of powers, is still the undisputed supreme leader of Daming, at this moment, he has in fact ended his status as an emperor.

He is no longer arbitrary.

So in front of Su Yonglin, they didn't know what expressions to use to express their incomparably complicated inner emotions at this time, happiness, sadness, hesitation, and hesitation.

Since ancient times, there has never been such a selfless person in the world. They used to think that the selfless person was a myth, but now, they have seen a living example.

They could only watch Su Yonglin sitting in his seat and lowering his head to review the documents, as if he didn't care that not long ago he was the supreme emperor who could decide the life and death of the world with a single word.

They looked at Su Yonglin as if they were looking at the morning sun rising from the sky at dawn.

The members of the temporary decision-making group didn't say anything, and they didn't know what to say. Thousands of words were hidden in their hearts, and all they could show was Suxing's diligent handling of affairs at night, daring not to have the slightest selfishness.

Determination and convocation of those eligible for the Central Conference.

All-round selection and determination of popular representatives, as well as convocation.

The merger of the Organization Department of the Restoration Society and the Ministry of Imperial Officials and the arrangement of new positions.

The merger and authority arrangement of the Military Affairs Department of the Renaissance Society and the Imperial General Staff Headquarters.

These things are inextricably linked, not only involving the Central Capital court itself, but also everyone in the country.

There can be no problem at all.
