I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 153

After answering the three questions, seeing that Yu Jie'an was so knowledgeable, Yang Shiqi couldn't help nodding his head, stroked his gray beard, and gave Yu Jie'an enough face:

"No, no, my little friend's questions are all sincere words, how could this old man blame you for this matter."

Yang Shiqi talked all about this, Yu Jie'an couldn't be pretentious, so he bowed deeply, then sat down honestly and didn't say any more.

Although Li Tian had extremely high expectations for Jie'an, he also understood the truth that a jade can't be cut into a weapon, so he didn't pretend to be Yu Jie'an to speak on such an occasion, looking at Yang Shiqi and said:
"Shiqi, has the name of the new judicial office been finalized?"

Speaking of business, Yang Shiqi immediately suppressed his smile, bowed his hands and said:

"Lu Yushi has talked about several government offices with the veteran, but the veteran is still in the selection process and has not yet been finalized."

This guy Lu Zhen is very energetic in this kind of thing, curled his lips indistinctly, Li Tian waved his hand, and immediately said arbitrarily:
"You don't have to think about it anymore, I will give you a name, and it will be called the People's Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau."

"Simple and straightforward, easy to understand, thank you for your name, may I ask your majesty what should be the grade of the People's Miscellaneous Bureau?"

Ordering a few items for the People's Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau, touching his chin, Li Tian was really a little undecided for a while.

This kind of offending yamen would set three or four ranks, and the six departments and five temples would definitely not be happy, but if they set five or six ranks, they might not be able to hold back the momentum, and it would be easy for the people to feel that the court was acting.

After all, the capital city is a place where several fifth- and sixth-rank officials can be hit with a single brick.

Seeing that the emperor was lost in thought, and all the important officials did not interfere, only Yu Jie'an was a little stunned, and immediately stood up and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I think that the Bureau of Miscellaneous Affairs for the People does not have a fixed rank, and when you meet any officials and gentry who oppress the people, you can automatically rank higher than them."

"good idea!"

Li Tian slapped his leg when he heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Yang Shiqi loudly and said:

"Shiqi, what Jie'an said won my heart, so let's make it so."

Naturally, Yang Shiqi would like such a good thing, such as automatic high-ranking when meeting any official.

But how can the officialdom play like this, if it is really set, the threshold of the People's Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau must be stepped down by the ministers and nobles. After some calculations in his heart, Yang Shiqi held his breath and said:

"Your Majesty, if you are so worthless, you will be more powerful than the six ministries and five temples. At that time, your Majesty's case will be overwhelmed by various complaints. The old minister thinks it is inappropriate."

"Shi Qi, are you worried that someone will use this to concoct unjust cases and eradicate dissidents?"

After all, the emperor had already spoken, and Yang Shiqi also understood that it would not be good for the emperor to take back what he just said, so he flattered him first:

"Your Majesty has sharp eyes and can see what the old minister is worried about at a glance. It seems that His Majesty already has a conclusion in his mind."

"That's right, I do have a conclusion in my mind." Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Li Tian first gave Yu Jie'an an affirmative look, then turned to look at Yang Shiqi and said:
"Shi Qi, what you said to Jie'an has some truth, how about this.

If the officials investigated by the People's Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau have any objections, they can submit another review to the third department, which will be jointly reviewed by Dongchang and Jinyiwei. What do you think? "

Hearing Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Yang Shiqi's face changed slightly.

Jinyiwei had just cut off half of its organizational system, and Dongchang had managed to be honest recently. With such a clear right of investigation, Dongchang and Jinyiwei might return to the past.

But as the head of the cabinet and the head of civil servants, Yang Shiqi knew that he would never say such things.

Since ancient times, the emperor's goal is to balance the forces of all parties. His words are too heavy, and it is very likely that the emperor will misunderstand.

Putting away the unspeakable depression, Yang Shiqi cupped his hands and made a deeply sympathetic expression on his face and said:
"Your Majesty is wise, the old minister thinks that such an arrangement is extremely appropriate."

"Then it's settled. As for the official system of the People's Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau, the transferred officials, the business regulations, and the city's sub-bureaus, you can discuss it with Zirong and the others and Wu Shangshu now."

"The old minister obeys the order."

After a few words, Yang Shiqi drank a full cup of tea without haste, looked at Yang Rong and the others, and began to discuss with questions and answers.

The cabinet meeting without the emperor randomly interfering is the original appearance of the cabinet meeting

The reason why Li Tian kept silent now was that he wanted Zhou Zhen and Yu Jie'an to experience the atmosphere of the cabinet discussion in advance, instead of watching himself, the emperor, keep making decisions and setting the tone.

The biggest difference between a mediocre minister and a capable minister is that no matter what the mediocre minister discusses, he will first pretend to write a useless forty-six parallel essay; , it will lose their value.

Li Tian is lucky. Yang Shiqi is mature and prudent, and he must have something to say; Yang Rong is good at government affairs and is thoughtful;

This kind of cabinet team that has no blood enmity or big grudges between each other and is dedicated to the monarch and the country is rare in China's 5000-year history.

Yang Shiqi talked eloquently, Yang Rong talked eloquently, Huang Zhun asked questions again and again, Ren Jin wrote every word, and Wu Zhong would add a few sentences from time to time.

Quietly watching Yang Shiqi and his senior ministers discussing, Li Tian glanced at the expressions of Zhou Zhen and Yu Jie'an indiscriminately.

I saw Zhou Zhen sitting upright and listening, afraid of missing something, his face was full of reverence.

Yu Jie'an was different from Zhou Zhen, only seeing Yu Jie'an chanting words from time to time, and his energetic face was full of respect and longing for the cabinet.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the rules and regulations of the People's Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau were quickly released in the heated or peaceful discussions between Yang Shiqi and the others.

Jiang Bao, Li Tian's Chief Inspector of the inner court, even turned into a waiter's waiter. Seeing that the teacup of a court elder was empty, he hurried forward to refill it carefully.

"Brother Zirong, the proposal to set up four sub-bureaus in the inner city and eight sub-bureaus in the outer city, I am sorry that this cabinet does not agree.

The Hukou Reform Bureau has drawn ID cards for 45 people in the inner city. I know the household registration status of the people in the inner city very well.

Of course there are extremely poor people, but compared to the outer city, it is completely different. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like the firefly and the sun. "

After taking a quick sip of tea and turning to look at Yang Shiqi, Huang Zhun continued:
"Yuanfu, I think it is enough to set up only two sub-bureaus in the east and west in the inner city, but in the eight squares of the outer city, I suggest that each square has at least two sub-bureaus."

"Brother Zhongchang, the sixteen sub-bureaus are a bit too many. It was previously agreed that there will be 25 subordinate officers in one sub-bureau. There are a total of 400 people in the sixteen sub-bureaus."

"The old man agrees with what Zhong Chang said. Most of the extremely poor people live outside the city. Since the imperial court has set up the People's Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau, the people can no longer be made to wait in line."

The discussion has come to an end, Huang Zhun's patience is not enough, he immediately waved his hands and said:
"It's okay, all the salaries and expenses of the People's Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau have been changed."

Seeing Huang Zhun's full of arrogance, Li Tian couldn't help laughing secretly and began to curse.

Director Huang is still fierce, and only 10 taels of silver are left in his pocket, and his momentum is still charming.
