Zhou Zheng sharpened his knives here, but the others didn't stop.
Zhou Yanru was busy integrating the internal, while receiving the benefits from Zhou Zheng, especially the new barracks outside the city. With the army, their confidence is a little bit more confident than before.
Yang Sichang walked frequently in the Ministry of War, convening successive meetings of the Ministry of War to discuss, adjust, and set out Zhou Zheng's "soldier reform".
The tendency of Qian Qianyi, Liu Zongzhou, and the "two Zhangs" to hold together is becoming more and more pronounced. In many issues, they are in unison and step by step. They are currently staring at the alternates of Kodao officials, hoping to push their people up.
Tian Zhenshu and others were even more marginalized. They seemed to feel that the capital was unable to compete. They turned their eyes to outside Beijing, attempting to push some people to serve as prefects of the upper-level government as well as representatives of various provinces to participate in politics.
All the forces seem to have found their goals, and they are working hard in the chaos, wanting to fish in troubled waters and reap benefits.
Early the next morning, the Prime Minister's Office.
The current Prime Minister's Office is much brighter than the previous cabinet. It is not so shabby, with only a few small houses.
The rooms of the prime minister and deputy prime ministers are quite spacious and not right. On the second floor, the first floor is a conference room, various departments and departments, and so on.
Premier meeting room.
Zhou Yanru is sitting with you. The bottom left is Zhou Zheng and Yang Sichang, and the bottom right is Qian Qianyi and Li Banghua. At present, this is the configuration of the cabinet, although it is not formal.
The five people were sitting in dire straits. Although Zhou Zheng had negotiated with Zhou Yanru before, they had to go through the process and tell more people to become a'consensus'.
Fan Wenjing was not far away, holding a pen, making notes.
Zhou Yanru looked around, his heart was bold, and his tone was very indifferent: "Today, we are discussing three things. The first thing is that Yang Sichang and Li Banghua enter the cabinet. The second thing is the amendment of the imperial system and the various The integration of departmental powers and responsibilities. The third is the confirmation and repair of local systems, and the simple removal of provincial officials."
After Zhou Yanru finished speaking, the meeting room was quiet and no one answered the conversation.
Zhou Yanru didn't change his expression, and suddenly realized that there was no way to get a formal meeting like this.
After a pause, he said directly: "Wenwei and Meng An are expected to join the cabinet. I believe that everyone has no opinion. Let's pass it today. Tomorrow I will meet with the emperor and ask the emperor to appoint him."
Meng An is Li Banghua's character.
Li Banghua, Yang Sichang looked as usual, got up, raised his hand and said, "Xie Yuanfu."
Zhou Yanru smiled and pressed his hand down, waited for the two to sit down, and said: "The second thing is the establishment of the cabinet prime minister system and the sorting out of the overlapping powers and responsibilities of the six temples and nine temples. There is no need to say anything about this matter. The cabinet runs. For many years, it has not been the emperor’s question, but the center of the imperial court. The issue of the powers and responsibilities of the six temples and nine temples has also been criticized for many years. Everyone knows that, let’s take a look at the major reforms drafted by the officials. Mention it later."
Even so, in fact, the other three people here are very clear in their hearts, saying that everything is fake, and to show them is to notify them. The three of them can't hold the thighs of Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yanru.
Fan Wenjing placed the five drafts behind the five cabinet ministers and continued to sit at the small table, holding a pen to prepare for the record.
Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yanru had naturally watched them, and they were still watching them pretendingly.
Qian Qianyi hadn't read it before, and he twisted his eyebrows after opening it for a while.
Regarding the part of the cabinet, he was surprised and shocked by one sentence: all the affairs of the cabinet prime minister are the backbone of the country.
This sentence seems to be no problem, but in fact it quietly put aside the'emperor'.
Then, it clarified the structure of the imperial court center: the cabinet-six parts-nine temples and others.
Not only did it clarify the position of the cabinet, but it also strengthened the six ministries, weakened the Nine Temples and other departments, and the three-level structure is very obvious.
Qian Qianyi watched but didn't speak.
Yang Sichang also looked surprised. This draft not only emphasizes the authority of the cabinet, but also expands the power of the six ministries. However, the power is concentrated upwards, and there is a particularly eye-catching sentence: the book responsibility system.
This sentence seems to emphasize Shang Shu's responsibilities, but it also concentrates power on Shang Shu, weakening the role of the servants and others in the checks and balances.
Li Banghua looked awe-inspiring, and from time to time he raised his head to look at the others present.
The six not only embezzled the power of the other nine temples, cutting off overlapping powers and responsibilities, but also accommodated the power of the twelve prisons and three bureaus in the palace!
It can be said that the six departments under your jurisdiction have almost all the power in the world!
This is unprecedented! The power is concentrated and the cabinet's status is extremely highlighted, and it can do almost everything!
Zhou Yanru had been observing the expressions of the three of them, staring at them with solemn expressions, without saying a word, and said: "There is no need to be so serious. Current events are forced. If the situation improves in the future, future generations can also correct it. I want to hold authority."
Zhou Zheng picked up the tea cup, looked at Qian Qianyi calmly, and said, "Old Qian Ge, what are your thoughts?"
Qian Qianyi lost the spirited spirit he had before, and became more honest, and quickly said: "The officials have no opinion. As long as they are good for Daming, they will support him."
This one puts his figure extremely low, even the "Xiaguan" is called the exit.
Li Banghua and Yang Sichang looked at each other, both frowned calmly.
According to the rules of the cabinet, the minority obeys the majority. Zhou Yanru, Zhou Zheng, and Qian Qianyi already have three votes. Even if the two of them oppose it, it is useless.
"The officials have no opinion." Li Banghua said. Since the opposition is useless, they will not rashly offend Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yanru.
Yang Sichang put down the herb and said lightly: "No opinion."
Zhou Yanru smiled and said: "Then this matter is over, let's sit up first, change our yuan in the next year, and issue an edict together."
Everyone had nothing to say, they could only let Zhou Yanru pass.
Fan Wenjing quietly recorded on the side, shaking his head to himself.
After a while, several people drank a sip of tea to relieve their embarrassment. Zhou Yanru continued: "The following are the six ministers and the thirteen governors, the appointment of the governor, and the confirmation of the thirteen chief soldiers."
Fan Wenjing took the draft again and distributed it to the five people present.
If Qian Qianyi, Yang Sichang, and Li Banghua said that they didn't understand it before, they already knew it very well by now. They had discussed it in two weeks, but they just took them off the scene.
Yang Sichang turned it over and saw that his gaze was focused on the Thirteen Dao General Soldiers, which surprised him a bit.
Zhao Lijiao, Mangui, Yang Guozhu, Gao Jie and others were almost all in the northwestern provinces. Only one Cao Wenzhao arrived in Nanzhili. The general soldiers of other provinces were not directly in the line of Zhou Zheng.
Li Banghua was also slowly watching, seeing that almost all governors of the provinces came from Zhou Zheng's army, and there were few civilians, mostly military commanders, so he couldn't help but curl his eyebrows. In his opinion, military commanders should not be involved in government affairs.
Qian Qianyi paid attention to the governor. He looked at Lu Daqi as the governor of Nanzhili with a relaxed expression.
Then the names of Yu Huaiyuan, Fang Yizao and others appeared. He was not surprised, but he saw the names of Chen Qiyu, Wang Sanshan and others, which was a little surprised.
The three of them looked at each other for a long time, each with their own ideas, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
The three of them glanced at each other, first startled, and then moved away calmly.
If this is seen by the two above, thinking that the three of them are going to form an alliance, then the trouble will be big.
Although the cabinet's rule is that more wins less, but the three of them were carried in by two, and they can be thrown out in a word, how dare to engage in such a moth. (End of this chapter)
