Chapter 509 Abolition of the Cabinet
Zhu Qizhen ordered Wynn to go to Xuan Beilin to enter the palace, and then continued to talk about business with Tuotuobuhua.

"Sang Chi suffered a setback in Mobei, and more than half of the main force of the [-] cavalry was lost. Now both the strength of the troops and the weapons and equipment are not as good as before. If you send troops, I will send [-] elites from Beihaiwei, and then recruit [-] civilians from Mobei. Enough to take the Yenisei!"

Tuotuo nodded vigorously and said: "Please rest assured, the emperor, I promise to capture that bastard Sang Chi alive and avenge the emperor!"

"Your clansmen are currently settled in Mobeiwei. I heard from Atulu that everyone gets along very well. However, they are about to migrate. Don't worry, I have provided them with enough living supplies."

"The emperor has made all the arrangements, how can I not worry about it!"

"There is still one thing I don't know, what happened to those Japanese people?"

Tuotuobuhua wryly smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that they can't get along in Wa Island anymore, they want to use my ministers to occupy a territory, and my ministers also want to use their boats, everyone gets what they need!"

"I'm a rough man. If I have anything to say, I just say it. The most damned are those officials and the merchants who colluded with them. That Shanxi merchant surnamed Wang subsidized a lot of food and supplies for me. Such a person lives in the world, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food every day, it is simply unreasonable!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly, and said, "Don't worry, they've all been killed, and no one will be left behind!"

Looking at the smile on the other party's face, Tuotuo Buhua couldn't help feeling a little chilly in his heart, speaking such shocking words in such a relaxed tone...

"You have to pay attention to what I just told you. If you pass the martial arts test, you can directly enter the military department."

Tuotuobuhua immediately became excited again, and said: "I understand, I will tell the young people in the clan when I get back, and they are all preparing for the exam!"

"I didn't mean that!"

"Didn't the emperor say..."

"I just asked you to pay more attention, I didn't say I asked you to bring all the young people over, otherwise, would the war still be fought?"

Tuotuobuhua scratched her head, and said embarrassedly: "Such a good opportunity, I want to show my face, don't I? It would be great if my clansmen could enter the court as officials, haha..."

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "Well, you choose thirty young students, preferably those who can understand Chinese and have some foundation in the study of military art. They will be sent to the Academy of Sciences for intensive training tomorrow."

Tuotuobuhua couldn't hide the joy on his face, he clasped his fists and saluted: "I obey the order!"

It was past noon, and Belin arrived in a hurry.

"I am honored to be summoned by the emperor, what orders do I have?"

"I've decided, Ganko!"

"Official vacancies are serious, and the minister supports Ganke!"

"Not only Ganke, but also restructuring!"

"Change... what system?"

Zhu Qizhen had already prepared a draft and said: "In the future, the imperial examination will be changed to once a year, and there will be separate subjects, such as liberal arts, science, engineering, martial arts, etc., and the details will be left to the Qing family to complete. "

Bei Lin looked at the draft, frowned and said: "The emperor's idea is very good, but the changes are so big all at once, I am worried..."

"You don't need to worry about these. Once my order is issued, those who disobey will be killed without mercy! Anyway, I have already killed a lot of people, and I don't care about killing a few more!"

Belin nodded and said, "How long will it take the emperor to complete the regulations?"

"The sooner the better, how about three days?"

"Three days... yes, when the time comes, the minister will submit it to the cabinet for approval..."

"unnecessary!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "You can change it and bring it to me directly!"

Belin's face was a little tangled, and she asked, "Don't you need a cabinet draft?"

Zhu Qizhen said lightly: "I am going to abolish the cabinet!"

"what……"

Belin was stunned and canceled the cabinet. What's the situation...?
"At the beginning of the establishment of the cabinet, it was just to participate in political affairs, but now it has the power to make decisions on major affairs of the court. I think it is inappropriate, and it should be changed!"

"Um……"

Bellin bowed her head and pondered, not knowing what to do.

Something big happened, the emperor is going to attack the cabinet!

When this news got out, it was as shocking as when Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Zhongshu Province during the Hongwu period!
As an emperor, he doesn't like someone to divide the power in his hands.

"I boldly suggest that everything should be done step by step. The ancients said that freezing three feet is not a day's cold..."

"When some people rebelled, they never thought about step by step!"

Zhu Qizhen's attitude was very tough, and he didn't want to compromise on this matter.

Rao is Belin, who follows the New Deal line, with a very active mind, but it also feels a little unbelievable.

When Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, at least he gave Hu Weiyong the name of treason, which can be regarded as "justified".

Now you say that the cabinet is abolished, and the cabinet is abolished. Cao Nai and Zhang Yi did not participate in the rebellion, and Zhang Yi also helped put down the rebellion.

Not to mention how much role Yu Qian played, and his mentor Peng Qing, who is still drifting at sea!

Generally speaking, the current cabinet of four are all loyal and have made great contributions to the court. If you suddenly decree to abolish the cabinet, what will the officials of the world think?
"Your Majesty, this matter is too important, should you... think about it again?"

"I have already considered it very clearly. To abolish the cabinet, other departments also need to be reorganized. For example, the Imperial Academy will be changed to the Academy of Literature and History. In the future, it will specialize in the study of literature and history classics, and will no longer be used as a talent training institution for the imperial court."

"Then... what about the Academy of Sciences?"

"The Academy of Sciences remains unchanged, but some disciplines will be separated, such as research and manufacturing of weapons and equipment, which will be integrated into the Ministry of War in the future, agricultural research will be integrated into the Ministry of Households, and majors such as water control and road construction will be integrated into the Ministry of Industry. By the way, You still have to set up a training class."

Belin wondered, "What training class?"

"The addition of martial arts to the imperial examination, I consider that the Tatars are too poor in knowledge, so I will give them a chance to hold a training class to study literature and art of war. How much grade they can get at that time will depend on themselves."

"I understand, let's get ready!"

After Beilin left, Zhu Qizhen picked up a piece of paper and continued to write on it.

He has thought about the reform of the imperial court many times, but it has not been implemented.

Taking advantage of this treason case, he might as well change it all together.

The cabinet must be abolished, because the chief assistant of the cabinet has become another prime minister. As the head of the world's officials, this position will always represent the interests of the world's gentry, and sooner or later something will happen.

Now it is necessary to follow the example of Zhu Yuanzhang, cancel Zaifu, and then increase the power of the six departments.

The development of the Academy of Sciences has become unstoppable, and the development of many tasks requires the cooperation of the Academy of Sciences. It is better to set up disciplines and set up their own research institutes under the names of each department.

The status of the Imperial Academy has been lowered, and the newly promoted Jinshi are directly sent to the grassroots for training. As for the old scholars of the Imperial Academy, they can study literature and history with peace of mind in the future.
