Prince of Chaos

Chapter 716 The Curtain Unfolds
September 35th in the 26th year of Wanli, this day is destined to be written into the magnificent Ming Dynasty ZTE epic.

On this day, Ming set off the climax of the ZTE reform!
After nearly 20 years of Zhu Changluo's career in supervising the country, he finally put the final reform trend into the restructuring of the imperial court system.

After this reform, Liubu will cease to exist!
Instead, there will be nearly [-] Shangshu-level yamen established.

The nearly twenty Shangshu-level yamen are the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Duzhi, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Water, the Ministry of Punishment, the Dali Temple, the Anti-Corruption Office, the Lifan Court, and the Dahong Lusi, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Taxation, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Science of the Ming Dynasty, the General Administration of Weapons of the Ming Dynasty, and the Audit Office.

The establishment of these twenty Shangshu-level yamen also marked the official start of the system reform of the Ming Dynasty.

The number of cabinet members has also expanded from the original four to five to seven, and the military aircraft department has been reduced to three. At the same time, Zhu Changluo also listed the Metropolitan Procuratorate separately to keep pace with the cabinet and the military aircraft department and directly lead the criminal department, Dali Temple, and the anti-corruption agency. Wait for the Shangshu Yamen of the Judicial Department.

And in order to make the Metropolitan Procuratorate more efficient, Zhu Changluo also held a small meeting for Yu Jideng. The content of this small meeting is also very simple, that is, the assessment standard!

Now that Zhu Changluo has given Yu Jideng such great power, of course Yu Jideng cannot be made to be a good gentleman. Anti-corruption and anti-corruption are directly related to the success or failure of Zhu Changluo's reform.

Although Zhu Changluo doesn't like cruel officials, Zhu Changluo still understands the principle of using heavy codes in troubled times.

Although, in the eyes of many people in Daming, the current Daming is a rare scene of prosperity, but Zhu Changluo knows that this kind of prosperity is not worth mentioning at all. How to maintain this prosperity and further improve it is what Zhu Changluo should pay attention to focus.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo had to increase Yu Jideng's work to give him a sense of urgency. He couldn't always be a good gentleman who only drank tea and read books in the yamen. His clockwork had to be tightened.

And the most effective way to wind up Yu Jideng's clockwork is to be criticized by later generations - indicators!
Zhu Changluo wanted to brutally set an anti-corruption target for Yu Jideng. As long as he could complete the established anti-corruption target on time and without unjust, false or wrongly decided cases, Zhu Changluo would give the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate extra money for the supervision and anti-corruption system.

After all, if you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grass.

It is impossible for Zhu Changluo to rely on painting big cakes for everything.

Everyone has studied hard in the cold window, and the ups and downs of the officialdom have been ups and downs for so many years, isn't it for fame and fortune?
If Zhu Changluo is so greedy for fame and fortune that he is unwilling to give it to those who can do things, how will he control the ministers of the world to dedicate their youth and strength to his great cause of governing the country in the future?
Therefore, after putting pressure on Yu Jideng, Zhu Changluo also gave Yu Jideng some sweetness.

And the sweetness that can make people like Yu Jideng hooked is undoubtedly fame and fortune, as well as the power like an aphrodisiac!

Yu Jideng is still very useful for the current title of King Yu Yan.

In Qianqing Palace, just after the court meeting ended, Zhu Changluo left Yu Jideng alone.

"Yu Qing, from today onwards, you are a veritable minister of the Three Dukes of my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Changluo looked at Yu Jideng, picked up the teacup and smiled slightly.

Yu Jideng replied fearfully: "It's all thanks to His Highness's grace."

Zhu Changluo said meaningfully: "The grace of loneliness is not always available."

Yu Jideng couldn't help panicking, what does this mean?Yu Jideng really couldn't guess what Zhu Changluo was thinking for a while.

Did someone slander His Highness?Thinking of this, Yu Jideng couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

After all, he has been in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for so many years, and he still controls the Anti-Corruption Agency like a sharp sword in his hands. It is not uncommon for him to be hated by others.

But if these grudges become a backstab against him, and this backstab convinces His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then one can imagine what will happen to him.

Since ancient times, there have been few cruel officials who have retreated unscathed. Yu Jideng still understands this truth.

But if he is in his position, if he does not become a good official for His Highness the Crown Prince, but instead becomes a good gentleman, then he will die faster!

Therefore, at this moment, Yu Jideng was really in a state of panic, and he didn't know what to do.

Zhu Changluo could also see Yu Jideng's panic and fear, and he also knew that Yu Jideng's panic and panic were not because of any real troubles, but because of his attitude.

Zhu Changluo felt that he really scared Yu Jideng, so he calmed down and continued: "What's wrong with Yu Qing?"

Hearing Zhu Changluo's gentle voice, Yu Jideng's flustered state of mind finally calmed down a bit.

Over the years, as the majesty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supervised the country continued to accumulate, Zhu Changluo gradually formed a sense of awe-inspiring majesty.

Even though sometimes Zhu Changluo didn't express anything deliberately, his every move could still oppress all the courtiers in the court and the opposition.

Yu Jideng quickly replied, "I'm fine."

After Zhu Changluo heard Yu Jideng's quick answer, he stopped playing tricks.

What Zhu Changluo likes is the straight-forward administrative method. After all, too much game of secret words and too much scheming will not be of much benefit to governing the country.

Therefore, when Zhu Changluo took the absolute initiative, his favorite method was to be straightforward.

Zhu Changluo, an emperor who likes to play charades like his great-grandfather Emperor Jiajing, dismisses it.

Although that method can firmly hold the subordinates, but at the same time, this method is also constantly training the courage of the subordinates to guess the emperor's heart.

When I am old and weak, these courtiers who have been trained to the extreme will be so courageous that they will scare people to death!

Therefore, Zhu Changluo had to change his ways and methods. He didn't want to have one or two bold courtiers write an eloquent confession of mistakes and announce it to the world after a hundred years of himself, giving himself an eternal life. The final conclusion!

Zhu Changluo said: "Leave Qing here alone because there is an important matter to explain to Qing."

"With the development of the Ming Dynasty, the original six-part system is no longer applicable to the Ming Dynasty. Gu and all the ministers reviewed the situation and drafted the current court system. The purpose is to improve the efficiency of the court and consolidate the hard-won image of the prosperity of the Chinese nation! "

"Of course, although this restructuring has improved efficiency, it also brought new problems, that is, the number of Beijing officials has doubled compared to the original."

"After the restructuring by the Ministry of Officials, the number of Beijing officials will increase from the original [-] to over [-]! The supervision of these [-] Beijing officials will fall to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in an instant. There is no other meaning in telling you these things, I just want Qing to continue to maintain his upright and fair spirit, and eliminate all illegal acts invisibly."

"Da Ming can't stand the toss, let alone those corrupt officials with impure minds. Daming wants long-term stability and long-term stability, and the anti-corruption aspect can never be stopped!"

"This reform is the central yamen of the capital. When this reform spreads to the whole country, the number of officials in Ming Dynasty will increase again explosively. The supervision of these officials cannot be relaxed."

"So, Gu left you here alone this time for this matter. Gu must plan ahead and prevent some bad things from happening in advance, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Qing and Qing's hands is the first one established by Gu. The line of defense is also the most important one!"

"I hope that Qing will not disappoint Gu's expectations and let Daming's long embankment be destroyed!"

After Yu Jideng listened to Zhu Changluo's words, he bowed deeply, and pressed his head tightly on the gold bricks in the main hall of Qianqing Palace, "I will definitely not disappoint His Highness's holy grace, and I will definitely protect His Highness the end of Ming Dynasty's integrity." Bottom line!"

Zhu Changluo smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "I know Qing's determination." Immediately afterwards, Zhu Changluo changed the subject, "But I don't trust everyone, so I want to make a rule for you."

Hearing Zhu Changluo said that rules should be established, Yu Jideng's body tensed immediately, and he replied nervously, "Please show me, Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo said: "I don't comment on how the anti-corruption work was carried out in the past, but there must be sufficient deterrence and normalization preparations in the future. I don't want the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Anti-Corruption Agency to become a good office."

"I want you to unite with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Anti-Corruption Agency, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Dali Temple and other judicial and prison offices to form a new deterrent. A certain number of corrupt officials must be dealt with every year! And regardless of their rank, All should be treated equally, even if the royal prince has violated the national law, the Metropolitan Procuratorate can still deal with it according to the law of the Ming Dynasty!"

After Yu Jideng heard Zhu Changluo's words, his body trembled.It seems that there is another meaning in it.

Recently, Zhu Changluo is also asking the clan mansion to hand over the royal files to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Some of the files involved are the records of crimes committed by the clan's children in the past.

In the past, these matters were dealt with by the Clan Mansion in accordance with the Clan Management Regulations. Now His Royal Highness is determined to unify the judiciary and merge the governance of clan crimes into the Dali Temple and other yamen of the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The purpose of breaking the law is the same crime as the common people.

However, deep down in Yu Jideng's heart, although he also hated and disliked these lawless clan children, after all, the blood of these people is still different from ordinary people.

They are all descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao, and some of them are uncles and brothers of the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. These people are not comparable to the children of ordinary clans.

They are the closest line of the royal family.To put it bluntly, one day the emperor's line will become extinct, and these close clans are very likely to inherit the great line.

Offending these clans is no joke.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so clearly, if he still hesitates, then it is a manifestation of double-mindedness.

Therefore, Yu Jideng also gritted his teeth and replied, "I will definitely live up to His Highness's Sacred Heart's expectations. I will treat everyone equally and resolutely protect the dignity of Daming Law!"

Zhu Changluo said with satisfaction: "Good."

Then Zhu Changluo took another sip of the teacup and said, "There is one important point that I just want to repeat. The Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot be slack in the slightest. It must be effective every year. Do you understand this?"

Yu Jideng understood, and immediately said: "I understand."

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, now that I understand that Gu will not keep Qing, Qing should get busy early. Next, Gu believes that the busiest yamen in the capital should be you besides the official department."

Yu Jideng's heart beat faster, he bowed his head and prayed again.

"My minister retire."
