As Wang Wen and Xiao Tan opened their mouths, other ministers also removed their eyes from the memorial and exchanged glances. There was a burst of low discussion in the palace.
Although it was a bit fast, this scene was obviously still expected by everyone.
The general direction of reorganizing military camps is certain, but in actual operations, various problems will inevitably be encountered.
Again, such a big battle involves not the Ministry of War and the entire family, but all the yamen of the entire imperial court.
Every family has its cupboard!
When it comes to cooperating with the regulations implemented by the Ministry of War, each yamen is definitely willing to do so. However, when it comes time to implement it, operational difficulties will inevitably arise.
Now, conflicts have arisen between the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Hanlin Academy, who are both close to the emperor. There are still many things to deal with in the future.
Suddenly, many people turned their attention to Yu Qian.
They want to know how Yu Shaobao, who has always moved forward courageously, will deal with the first hurdle in actual operation after spending so much time in preparation. Moreover, it comes from the "difficulties" of being a member of the Emperor's Party.
However, this time, Yu Qian's attitude was very interesting.
He did not argue as hard as before, but lightly cupped his hands towards Wang Wen and said.
"What Otsuka Zai and Xiao Xueshi said is that the Ministry of War has not considered this point well. However, as I said just now, this is only the Ministry of War's preliminary plan. After all, the selection and appointment of officials is not the responsibility of the Ministry of War, so it is just a suggestion. How to do it specifically depends on the wishes of the officials."
"but……"
Yu Qian said the previous words very softly, so softly that the officials in the palace felt that they were no longer the Yu Qian who had determined his direction and never looked back until he hit the south wall.
It wasn't until the last two words that the elders finally got a taste of Yu Shaobao's original style.
And Yu Qian did not disappoint them. Although his tone was calm, he spoke firmly.
"Just now Otsuka Zai also said that I can understand why the Ministry of War proposed this. Therefore, although it is difficult, I would like to ask the Ministry of Personnel to think of a way. These sixty imperial censors are absolutely indispensable!"
Wang Wen blinked, feeling a little incredible.
If he read it correctly, Yu Qian, Yu Shaobao and Yu Huihui are playing rogue with him now? !
What does it mean to ask the officials to think of something?
That means, do whatever you want, anyway, in the end I just want people!
Mr. Wang was speechless for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he turned to Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, and asked.
"Chen Zongxian, if I remember correctly, there are 110 censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are currently 93 people. There are 40 people in the six subjects, and there are 29 people now. I don't know these people. Among them, how many can now be mobilized and sent to the border to inspect the military settlements?"
Chen Yi was obviously prepared for this, he just thought for a moment and said.
"Thirteen censors patrol various mansions, including salt patrols, canal patrols, customs patrols, grain patrols and other tasks. They cannot be neglected. The manpower is not generous, and a maximum of five to eight people can be allocated."
"As for the Sixth Section, the imperial court has had a lot of affairs in recent years, and all ministries are working overtime. The Sixth Section inspects six ministries and one hundred departments, and the government affairs are equally heavy. At most, three to five people can be allocated. If there are more, I am afraid it will affect the government affairs of the court. operating normally."
If one were to choose the one with the largest number of people among the yamen of the imperial court, it would definitely be the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
However, this is determined by the special system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of supervision. In order to ensure the normal flow of speech, there is no hierarchical setup like other yamen. For all states, prefectures, and counties across the country, the Metropolitan Procuratorate directly sends censors to inspect, report on work regularly every year, and send memorials directly to the central government. .
Therefore, the total authorized number of thirteen censors is 110, which seems to be a lot, but it should be noted that the Ming Dynasty now has more than 2,000 counties and more than 600 states and prefectures.
These more than one hundred censors are actually just enough for the whole country.
The second is Liu Ke. Compared with the Thirteen Censors, Liu Ke is more independent. Strictly speaking, Liu Ke itself is an independent yamen, and its chief officials are in charge of affairs.
But in fact, since the assessment power of the six subjects is jointly controlled by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in a general sense, the DPRK and Central Government also attribute the six subjects to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, could also represent Kedao.
The number of people assigned to the six subjects varies. Generally, there are four people in the official department, eight people in the household department, six people in the etiquette department, ten people in the military department, eight people in the criminal department, and four people in the engineering department, with a total quota of forty people.
Different from the thirteen censors, the Sixth Section does not need to travel to various places, and only needs to stay in the central center to review government affairs. It seems easy, but in fact, the Sixth Section has heavy affairs and is even higher than that of the cabinet.
In the court, Liuke was often most famous for his role in blocking the emperor and preventing him from issuing random edicts.
But in fact, that was an accidental situation. What the Six Sections really want to supervise are daily government affairs decisions, which is called inspecting the affairs of the six ministries and hundreds of departments.
According to the different classifications of affairs, from the local yamen to the yamen of the six departments of the imperial court, all memorials were submitted. After being drafted by the cabinet, approved by the emperor, and before the decree was formally drafted, they were all sent to the six departments for re-examination.
This review is mainly a review of the system. As far as the civil service department is concerned, whether the appointment and transfer of officials complies with the rules of selection, whether the situation of the transferred officials is true, and whether there are any errors. If everything is correct, it will be issued after countersigning. If the corresponding Yamen is wrong, it will be sent back to the palace to refute the corresponding Yamen.
In other words, from the deportation and beheading of ordinary prisoners to major events such as the rectification of the military camp and the release of the East Palace, the six departments must be involved in it. You can imagine how busy the daily life is.
In addition, because they are deeply involved in various court affairs, the Sixth Section is also responsible for supervising Baisi. Once during the review of government affairs, it is found that the minister has committed fraud and favoritism, he will also be responsible for impeachment.
If the thirteen paths correspond to places, then the six subjects correspond to the center.
The coexistence of science and education constituted a large and complete supervisory system in the Ming Dynasty.
From this perspective, the quota of 150 people for the six subjects combined is actually not much.
Therefore, Chen Yi is telling the truth.
Ke Dao looked at the number of people, but in fact very few could actually be mobilized. Many critical areas could not be separated from people at all.
What's more, thanks to last year's civil war and the Beijing Inspectorate some time ago, the Kedao is not at full strength now, and it is even more difficult to draw them out to check the military settlements.
So, after listening, Wang Wen's frown deepened.
"According to this, the manpower that Kedao can allocate now is about ten people. In this way, if we want to meet the needs of the Ministry of War, at least fifty Kedao officials must be selected and appointed. In this way, Kedao's The actual number of officials will inevitably exceed the originally approved number of posts.”
"With such a huge number, not to mention that it is difficult to guarantee that all available talents will be available through one-time selection. Even if they are selected and awarded, the Ministry of Personnel must also consider how to arrange these officials after the reorganization of the army."
"Today, there are approximately 119 actual officials in the Sixth Section and Thirteenth Road."
"Therefore, I think we can select ten people from the Hanlin Academy, and ten outstanding people from the Spring Festival, and temporarily add them to the subjects. In addition, I would like to ask Mr. Chen to work harder and select twenty imperial officers from the six subjects and thirteen subjects. How about assisting the Ministry of War to conduct an inventory of the military settlements during the Shi Jiji incident?"
