Ming politicians

(Thanks to my family for voting for the precious monthly ticket, thank my family for the reward, thank you.)

Su Tiancheng's successive deployments made everyone a little dizzy. They had never thought of these things, and they had never seen them before. In the eyes of everyone, Su Tiancheng was sacred and inviolable. It was because of this that he revitalized the Ming Dynasty with his superhuman ability. Su Tiancheng's ability to become the emperor and complete the task of changing the dynasty is not something ordinary people can bear, and it is precisely because everyone recognizes Su Tiancheng's ability that they willingly follow Su Tiancheng to conquer the world, or to say govern the world , but Su Tiancheng's series of arrangements made everyone feel an unusual atmosphere.

The power of the emperor cannot be questioned. It is supreme. Is it the king's land in the whole world? Therefore, the power of the ministers is absolutely subject to the imperial power, and the emperor also needs conditions to consolidate his own power.

But what Su Tiancheng did was just the opposite.

The many things that Su Tiancheng announced to limit the power of civil and military ministers made everyone feel a little bit wrong. They felt that Su Tiancheng must be an emperor with iron and blood wrists. It is not easy. Doing things under Su Tiancheng must be cautious, You can't take chances. Although you feel a little uncomfortable in your heart, everyone still discusses and formulates relevant systems according to the requirements. It is precisely because of the inconsistency in thinking that the process of formulating the system seems a bit slow.

However, after Su Tiancheng's arrangements for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Dali Temple were all announced, what shocked everyone was not ordinary. This was the result of the great strengthening of the minister's power. The Metropolitan Procuratorate can directly investigate and deal with officials who are under the six ministries, and even if there is a problem with a cabinet scholar, it can be investigated and dealt with. The most important thing is.The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the power to directly deal with officials of the third rank and below, and is directly responsible to the emperor without any other restraints. This was unimaginable before. Isn't this a forcible snatch of the emperor's power? Tian Cheng personally arranged it.

Everyone is a scholar, and they have all done things in the court for a long time.Of course I understand the meaning of this arrangement, that is to say, since then, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has gathered all the powers of Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the original Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the emperor and the cabinet need to discuss jointly to deal with officials of the third rank and above.For the rest of the officials, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is directly in charge. Branches of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have been set up in the provincial capitals, states and counties, and they are directly subordinate to the leadership above. The local government cannot interfere at all, which gives the Metropolitan Procuratorate great power. up.

such a request.It is a huge shock to the officials that it can be implemented, and it also makes the officials dare not reach out casually, otherwise they may be dealt with directly.

In addition, regarding the arrangement of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple, it is difficult for everyone to fully understand it for the time being. It is also because of the limitation of everyone's thinking that it is impossible to think so far ahead for the time being.However, Ming Dynasty has no shortage of talents. After the implementation of such rules, soon there will be special personnel to conduct research, and draw a lot of incisive conclusions, constantly enriching and perfecting this system. [

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month in the 16th year of Chongzhen, everyone held a meeting again.

No one would have thought of this meeting.It will be remembered forever by history, and no one would have thought that this meeting changed history so that a hundred years later.Those historians who study and discuss this meeting regard it as an extraordinary milestone, no matter how much praise is right.

Su Tiancheng needed to be swift and resolute in doing things, and he also asked to discuss the tasks assigned by the last meeting as soon as possible.

The topics discussed were mainly two aspects. The first was the establishment of the government and the arrangement of officials, as well as the salary of officials, and the second was the conquest of Southern Zhili and the arrangement of the next campaign.

The arrangement for attacking Nanzhili has a certain level of secrecy. Not many people will participate in the discussion, and they will agree on a small scale. However, everyone should know about the arrangement of officials. After the discussion is finalized, it will start to be implemented in Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. After taking down Nanzhili, Su Tiancheng officially proclaims himself emperor, and when the court begins to perform its duties, it will be fully opened.

The importance of the government and officials does not need to be emphasized, everyone understands it.

The people who participated in the deliberation put forward many opinions, and it was difficult for them to fully unify. Especially Fan Jingwen and Xu Er, after starting to establish the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they raised different opinions on the establishment of the government and officials. There are few requirements, and the two people's ideas are completely understandable. The government and officials must do things in a regular manner. Officials who know how many to deal with.

Su Tiancheng had a preliminary idea in his heart. During the process of everyone's discussion, some of his ideas gradually began to mature and take shape. He was holding the advanced ideas hundreds of years later and began to implement them in Daming. If this matter It's very simple, that's a joke, and it's impossible for everyone to fully understand it for a while. Only after slowly implementing it, and after decades of implementation, will everyone truly understand the meaning of it.

Zhu Shenxuan, who presided over the discussion, reported the situation of the discussion with a tired face at the meeting. He never expected that the discussion would be so intense and full of arguments. No matter who it was, they all insisted on their own opinions. , The establishment of Dali Temple, Su Tiancheng had exchanged opinions with him a long time ago. In the future court, he will also be the candidate for the cabinet chief assistant, so the current basic work is very important. If it is easy to carry out, it will be easy for everyone to implement it.

Of course, only a few people can produce decisive opinions in the end, including Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen, Xu Eryi, Zhang Pu, Lu Shanji, etc., while Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng and others are mainly concerned about the conquest. .

After Zhu Shenxuan finished speaking, he asked everyone to express their opinions.

The first one to stand up and speak was Yang Sichang.

As the former chief assistant of the cabinet, Yang Sichang is very aware of the rules of officialdom, and his understanding is also somewhat limited. For example, in terms of the power of officials, Yang Sichang is particularly insistent. Fame is not easy. The status of scholars and ordinary people is different. The ordinary people are illiterate and need the guidance and leadership of the government. Whatever the government proposes, the ordinary people can do it, and whatever the government thinks is inappropriate. It cannot be done, and judging from the past dynasties, officials have certain privileges. It is unreasonable to make officials and ordinary people exactly the same. Such an understanding will definitely encounter great resistance, even the law. implemented.

"His Royal Highness, I believe that it is imperative to increase the salaries of officials. Since officials are not allowed to own land, they can only be compensated in terms of salaries. I also want to understand this point. If officials cannot be required to do so, then From the perspective of restraining land annexation, I believe that doing so will achieve the best results, and the land annexation problems of the past dynasties will definitely be completely resolved."

"As for the family members of officials, of course they can't own land. The so-called marriage of a chicken is like a chicken, and a dog is like a dog. I also agree with this point." [

"The specific salaries of officials, I think, need to be carefully discussed. Scholars in all dynasties have led the people to do things. Although the difference between scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen cannot be overemphasized, it is also reasonable. If officials enter the court When you become an official, if you extend your hands to corruption because of insufficient salary, then it loses the meaning of restraining land annexation and keeping officials clean, so the salary of officials must be carefully considered.”

"I still have to stick to some points of view. There must be differences between officials and people. For example, in terms of mansions, travel, and corresponding etiquette, there are some things that officials can do, but ordinary people cannot do. There must be these rules. Come to support, so that we can not "disrupt" the rules."

"Your Highness, I have thought carefully about the establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple. I admire Your Highness's self-discipline very much. However, I think that there are still many problems if we really want to carry it out like this. The chief executive of the Metropolitan Procuratorate The duty is to independently monitor and directly investigate and deal with officials' inaction and corruption, and to be directly responsible to His Highness. This is not a big problem, so that the officials can be restrained to the greatest extent. Since the officials are given enough salary, then don't stretch out your hands Otherwise, they will definitely be investigated and dealt with. As for the establishment of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, which are independent from the provincial capital, prefecture and county yamen, such an "operation" will not work."

"Not to mention the three divisions in the province, let's talk about the prefectural and county yamen. The magistrates, prefectures, and county magistrates have always settled cases. The common people also understand this. It is one aspect that the common people don’t adapt to the decision of the case rashly, and it is another aspect whether the special officials sent out can decide the case impartially.”

"Prison litigation is one of the important responsibilities of government offices in prefectures and counties. Judging from the actual situation, when ordinary people find the government, the focus is on related litigation matters. The chief officials of prefectures and counties can also handle cases. It is not easy to use all forces to try and close the case together. If it is set up separately from the Yamen, not to mention increasing the difficulty of handling the case, it is not easy to say that the case can be heard and handled well... "

While Yang Sichang was speaking, people kept nodding.

Su Tiancheng also fell into contemplation. A new type of thinking, or a new type of concept, if he wants to carry on, he will inevitably encounter many resistances. This is the most difficult time. If he can't persist, everything will fail. It is in vain, if you grit your teeth and persevere, huge changes will appear soon. (To be continued.
