At this moment when Su Yonglin was about to step down as emperor and end the existence of imperial power, the situation of all cabinet members became quite embarrassing.
When Su Yonglin was the emperor, he had to deal with a large number of government affairs and the requirements were high, so he needed the help of many people, otherwise he would be exhausted. Therefore, he had a large number of cabinet members, and most of them were capable young people. Capable.
They were originally responsible for connecting with various departments of the imperial court. Whether it was the administrative department, judicial department or military department, they had experience in connecting with each other and were important helpers to Su Yonglin.
Now there is no need for the cabinet to exist. Seeing that the cabinet members are about to lose their jobs, Su Yonglin has arranged new jobs for them.
That is, a public security management department responsible for daily public security management will be established nationwide, with the backbone composed of capable members of the cabinet plus some professionals drawn from various departments.
Eight years before Hongwu, the daily public security management in most areas of the Ming Dynasty relied on some traditional public security management forces, and there was no dedicated department responsible.
The judicial departments at the central and local levels do have organizations called legal pawns, which are violent organizations.
However, the main targets of the legal guards are the crimes committed by the ruling group, and they are often dealt with by court officials. Of course, they have enough deterrence for major judicial cases, but if you expect that there are not so many legal guards to intervene in some civil disputes, then is more difficult.
They have their own things to deal with, and if they had to manage things like civil affairs disputes together, they would probably be crazy busy.
However, the most common things that happen every day are trivial civil disputes. There are so many trivial civil disputes among the people. They are said to be trivial matters, but if they are not dealt with, they can easily escalate into big things.
Many civil conflicts that later caused headaches for the court often started with one or two verbal disputes.
For example, the conflict between two collective farms in Henan Province in the ninth year of Hongwu was a dispute caused by farmers from the two farms catching fish on a river at the junction of the two sides.
Local officials did not take it seriously, and the Renaissance organization did not deal with it effectively. As a result, it almost led to a large-scale fight.
For this reason, the Zhongdu court removed relevant officials from the two counties where the collective farms were located because they were afraid of trouble and did not intervene.
The headquarters of the Renaissance also withdrew the guidance organizations of the Renaissance from two collective farms because they did not intervene in time and instead became quarrelsome, resulting in increasing conflicts.
However, Zhongdu also reflected later on and realized that they were deficient in law enforcement at the grassroots level. The lack of professional response agencies led to local departments wrangling and playing ball in civil disputes.
Su Yonglin also thought deeply about it and felt that the establishment of the public security department was urgent.
In ancient times, the country's population was small, and most of them were tied to the land and could not move. This artificially reduced the occurrence of security incidents. Officials and staff in many areas were enough to deal with security issues that occurred in a county.
But all this changed in the Ming Dynasty.
One is the massive increase in population, and the other is the increase in population mobility, which will increase the difficulty of public security management.
In the future, with the growth of population and industrial upgrading, given the Ming Dynasty's relatively loose household registration system and its supportive attitude towards business development, public security problems will only increase rather than decrease. It is absolutely impossible to do without a professional public security management department.
Su Yonglin had planned to change this situation for a long time, but lacked the energy and timing.
Now that the country is generally stable, the external enemies have been basically beaten, and the internal enemies have been dealt with so that they can't raise their heads. Su Yonglin has also been relieved of most of his work, and the establishment of the Ministry of Public Security has become a matter of course.
Su Yonglin authorized Chen Dao and the Ministry of Public Security to select members nationwide from retired soldiers, members of the rural self-defense forces and other armed personnel groups with certain qualities, to prepare for the establishment of public security organizations at all levels nationwide, and to take charge of public security. Protect jobs.
This is a huge financial expenditure, which will also divide the original power structures in various places and have an impact on the current political ecology of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the nine-member decision-making group organized relevant personnel to conduct multiple discussions. During the period, some people agreed, while others raised objections out of concerns about national stability.
In the end, because of Su Yonglin's persistence, the nine-member decision-making group unanimously passed the resolution, and decided to appoint Chen Dao as the director of the Ministry of Public Security of the Ming Dynasty, with full responsibility for establishing the organizational structure of this department.
At this point, the division of powers and responsibilities of the nine-member group has been basically determined, and it will not be too late to arrange some remaining detailed issues after the Central Representative Conference and the People's Representative Conference are fully convened.
This decision was made by Su Yonglin as the emperor. He used his identity as the emperor to end the emperor's power, and no one opposed or resisted.
After everything was settled, Su Yonglin fully disclosed the matter to the court and society, demonstrating his determination to carry out comprehensive and thorough political reforms.
This move made everyone in the court realize that Su Yonglin was really being serious and not just making excuses.
He really divided the imperial power as the emperor, ended the era of his own monopoly of power, and made the Ming Dynasty truly begin to move towards the era of collective leadership.
After this decision was officially promulgated, although Su Yonglin still had the title of emperor in name, everyone knew that it was not far away from him being completely deposed.
The day when the Central Representative Conference and the People's Representative Conference were officially convened was probably the day when Su Yonglin officially ended the imperial system.
The title and existence of the emperor will be officially ended through collective decision-making under the collective vote of the Central Representative Conference and the People's Representative Assembly, and will become a historical term from then on.
The members of the decision-making group were inexplicably excited about this situation, but they didn't know whether they should show the joy from the bottom of their hearts in front of Su Yonglin.
Because their power comes from the imperial power that Su Yonglin voluntarily gave up.
Because Su Yonglin took the initiative to transfer and decentralize power, they were able to have this crucial decision-making power, allowing them to truly become the helmsmen of the country instead of just following orders.
Su Yonglin took matters into his own hands, revolutionized his "fate", split the supreme imperial power, and truly gave it to this organization.
He really began to give up the exercise of the emperor's supreme authority, and only expressed his own opinions and made decisions in these two aspects based on his own settings, the power to control the military and the Ministry of Industry.
Regarding administration, justice, finance, etc., Su Yonglin also began to fulfill his previous commitments and began to gradually hand over decision-making power to members of the decision-making group, participating in it himself, but did not express any opinions and only held the veto power.
Although Su Yonglin, who holds this series of powers, is still the undisputed supreme leader of the Ming Dynasty, at this moment, he has actually ended his emperor's attributes.
He is no longer arbitrary.
So in front of Su Yonglin, they didn't know what expressions to use to express their extremely complicated inner emotions at this time, such as happiness, sadness, hesitation, and hesitation. They felt that these emotions really tarnished Su Yonglin's determination and public spirit.
Since ancient times, there has never been such a selfless person in the world. They used to think that selflessness was a myth, but now, they see living examples.
They could only watch Su Yonglin sitting in his seat, looking down at the documents, seemingly not caring that not long ago he was the supreme emperor who could decide the world's life and death with a single word.
They looked at Su Yonglin as if they were looking at the rising sun rising from the horizon at dawn.
The members of the temporary decision-making group didn't say anything, and they didn't know what to say. They had thousands of words hidden in their hearts, and all they could show was that they worked hard and diligently to handle affairs without any selfish motives.
Regarding the determination and convening of those qualified for the central meeting.
Regarding the comprehensive selection, determination, and convening of people's representatives.
The merger of the Organization Department of the Renaissance Society and the Imperial Staff Department and the arrangement of new positions.
The merger and authority arrangement of the Military Affairs Department of the Renaissance Society and the Imperial Staff Headquarters.
These matters are intricate and involve not only the Zhongdu court itself, but also everyone across the country.
There can't be any problems at all.
