Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 431 Limiting Power
When Lin Cunde asked the question, they also looked at Lin Cunde. They had not considered this question yet!
Zhu Qiyu frowned, looked at Lin Cunde and asked, "Is there a solution to this matter?"

Lin Cunde handed over his hands and said: "The power of the cabinet comes from His Majesty, but the power of the Cabinet cannot be too great. Therefore, the cabinet needs to be redesigned! The personnel of the Cabinet must be loyal to His Majesty, but these are only to ensure that His Majesty can govern smoothly!

But once the emperor is in poor health and does not have that much experience, he needs to be restrained by rules. Therefore, I propose that starting from next year, the six ministries and the cabinet need to be involved in formulating a five-year plan and a one-year policy plan!

The Metropolitan Procuratorate makes plans independently, that is, where to inspect and what are the goals for this year!
The plans of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can only be known by His Majesty and the Imperial Censors!
The five-year and one-year policy plans also need to be approved and passed in court!

In this case, everyone knows what Ming Dynasty needs to do in the next five years, and a plan needs to be made every five years!
Of course, the army also needs to make plans. For example, what does the Ming Dynasty’s army need to do in the past five years? For example, we need to deal with foreign enemies, we need to reorganize our training, we need to update combat equipment, etc.!

The army's plan can only be known to His Majesty and the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion!
These need to be kept confidential and cannot be published!

However, the six ministries’ policy plans need to be announced to the whole world. Ming Dynasty’s policies for the next five years will all be based on this plan!

For example, in the past five years, we need to rectify the Yellow River and rectify the Yangtze River!

Of course, before formulating a plan, the local chief envoy is required to propose the local problems that want to be solved within five years, and the court will formulate a solution strategy based on the priorities of the matter!

As a result, the cabinet and officials of the six ministries need to find ways to complete the five-year plan within these five years!

If it cannot be completed, the officials of the Sixth Department will need to be replaced, and the cabinet can also play a role in supervising the Sixth Department!

The six ministries are responsible for administration, and the cabinet is responsible for supervision and providing His Majesty with the status of administration!

Zhu Zhen also looked at Lin Cunde. He had heard before that Lin Cunde was very important to Zhu Qiyu and was an important counselor around Zhu Qiyu. Now it seemed that he was not just a counselor!
Zhu Zhen was also thinking at this moment, if he had people like Lin Cunde by his side, would he have been defeated in Tumu Fort?
Will it end up like this?
"For example, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Punishment's plan for the next five years is to plan the law, how to make people less break the law, and how to publicize the law!
For example, the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for collecting taxes. It is not just about collecting taxes, but also how to exempt some taxes when possible so that people can live a better life!

At the same time, based on the plans of the other six departments, formulate spending plans and taxation plans for the next five years!

The Ministry of Industry is the major contributor to the formulation of the next five years of the Ming Dynasty. For example, how many reservoirs, how many roads, how many river embankments, and how many bridges need to be built. Once this plan is approved, it will need to be completed in five years. , needs assessment!

As for the Ministry of Personnel, it is necessary to formulate a training plan for Ming officials and scholars!
The Ministry of Rites has formulated major sacrificial activities for the next five years of the Ming Dynasty, as well as improvements to the imperial examination system!

Lin Cunde said his thoughts. The Ming Dynasty's governance was completely irregular. Every year, time was wasted on disaster relief. No one thought about how to prevent most disasters!
"Well, tell me more specifically!" Zhu Qiyu asked, staring at Lin Cunde.

Since then, His Majesty is no longer so tired in handling government affairs! "

Not only do officials from the six ministries need to be assessed, but local officials also need to be assessed!

The role of the cabinet is to supervise and make suggestions!

The cabinet is slow in completing some things and needs to send a reminder to the six ministries!

If the plan for that year cannot be completed, officials from the six ministries need to come before His Majesty to explain clearly why it cannot be completed!
Making plans also needs to be based on the actual situation, and cannot be made haphazardly. If it cannot be completed, you need to be held accountable, but you can't have no plan at all, that won't work either! "Lin Cunde sat there and talked about his thoughts!
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said to Lin Cunde: "When you go back, write a memorial. I will study it carefully and then convene the six ministers to discuss it!" "Yes!" Lin Cunde nodded, and then said: "If If this can be done, then my Ming Dynasty will not worry about the emperor's poor health. Once the plan is formulated, they must implement it. If they do not implement it, they will need to be held accountable! In this way, His Majesty will have to do much less, and, Local officials also know what the court needs to do, and what can they do? This can ensure that those officials in Ming Dynasty can do something for the people!

If they can do something for the people, then they are doing something for His Majesty!
All the people in the world are His Majesty's subjects. If the people are good, Your Majesty will be good, and the world will be at peace. If the people's life is bad, the people will rise up and the world will rebel. Then the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!

In addition, in order to ensure the implementation of the plan, when the plan is reviewed, the vassal king can be called back to Beijing to review the plan. The vassal king also has a supervisory role. The vassal king has no actual power, but the vassal kings are distributed throughout the Ming Dynasty, and they can intuitively If they feel whether those plans have been implemented, they can directly write a memorial to His Majesty and report the situation!

Of course, they must plan clearly. They only have the power to write secrets, but they do not have the power to censor!

The power of review is given to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Metropolitan Procuratorate can review the performance of those officials according to His Majesty's instructions! "

"Good idea!" Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked in the wing with his hands behind his back!

Zhu Zhen looked at Lin Cunde in great surprise. Since then, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has always had the initiative, and allowed the six ministries, the cabinet, and the procuratorate to form a balance. Moreover, he also asked the vassal king to write secrets to his majesty, which ended the relationship. The ministers below unite to expire the emperor!
At this moment, Zhu Zhen was even more envious of Zhu Qiyu for having such a minister by his side!
Zhu Qiyu was pacing there with his hands behind his back. He turned around and found that the tea had not been distributed yet, so he said: "Shou Ming, pour the tea, I have to think about it!"

"Yes!" Lin Cunde immediately took the justice cup and poured tea into Zhu Qiyu's teacup first, then to Zhu Zhen, and then to Wang Ying and himself!

Zhu Qiyu thought about it for a while and said to Lin Cunde: "You have to write a memorial. In addition, those ministers are now focusing on North Korea's affairs again. You need to pay attention to this matter. This is my intention. You insist on saying that it is your intention, but now those ministers are still attacking you. Since our Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and they are the suzerain state, it is unreasonable and unbenevolent to invade their land!

Therefore, at this time, you have to shock them hard! "

"Yes, I will explain it at the next court meeting!" Lin Cunde immediately said to Zhu Qiyu with his hands raised.

"We must attack the Japanese pirates thoroughly. We also need to occupy the Japanese countries. The Ming Dynasty needs their silver. If there is not enough silver, our Ming Dynasty's business will not be able to develop!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and said!
Zhu Zhen just watched this scene. He did not expect that Lin Cunde and Zhu Qiyu had already made decisions on many things, and discussing with the ministers was just a formality!
Zhu Qiyu continued to think there, while Lin Cunde and the others drank tea. After a while, Zhu Qiyu returned to his seat, and then said to Zhu Zhen: "Brother, is there anything else that needs attention?"

Zhu Zhen heard this and stared at Zhu Qiyu, scolding this bastard in his heart. He did this to himself, and he still wanted to remind him?
So I didn’t want to talk anymore!

Zhu Qiyu also noticed that Zhu Zhen didn't want to talk, so he stood up, raised his hands to Zhu Zhen and said: "Brother, there are some things that I can't help but feel sorry for. But, brother, you should also consider me. If I hadn't fought for it before, If Concubine Sun is still controlling the court now, tell me, my brother, do I still have a chance to survive? Can my brother's children still survive?
Is the Ming Dynasty as powerful as it is today? Is it as prosperous as it is today?
Although my younger brother has snatched the throne that belongs to your lineage, did I take the initiative to snatch it?
Do you know that Concubine Sun ordered to poison my queen because the queen didn't listen to her? If I didn't listen to her, do you think she would poison me to death? Also, do you think he would poison my son to ensure that your son ascends the throne?

Brother, it’s not that my younger brother has to fight with you, it’s that my younger brother has no choice. In order to protect myself and my women and children, I have to do this!
If I don’t do this, I will die without a burial place, and I don’t even dare to think about how I will be written about in history!
Now I just want to govern the Ming Dynasty well and make Jingtai a prosperous Ming Dynasty. I also hope that when future generations write about me, they can write a sentence: I really did a lot for the Ming Dynasty!

Therefore, even if you have all kinds of resentment, brother, you can't do anything. There are more important things that need to be done by brother, so brother has to wrong you, brother! The younger brother knows that the older brother treats his younger brother very well, and the younger brother will remember it in his heart. However, personal favor cannot be compared with national weapons, nor can it be compared with righteousness!
My elder brother has also been the emperor for more than ten years and favors Wang Zhen!

Of course I also know that when you trusted Wang Zhen, you used Wang Zhen as a knife to fight for power with civil servants, but this knife also hurt yourself!

But now I have used Shou Ming's strategies to successfully seize power from the civil servants and successfully restrain them. Therefore, I am stronger than you in the capital city, and in Ming Dynasty, I am stronger than you as emperor!
Now, I have put an end to the feudal lord, I have also put an end to the civil strife, and I have also put an end to the Walas. I will also leave a grand mark in the history books!
There are some things that I can't help but feel sorry for. I hope my brother can understand! "After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, he saluted Zhu Qiyu heavily again!

Zhu Zhen just sat there, looking at this strange brother in front of him!
