Zhu Zhanji's move truly strengthened the imperial power.
It can be said that once it is accomplished, he will be the most powerful emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were both extremely powerful emperors, but they relied on military commanders and iron-blooded methods, not on institutional dominance.
But Zhu Zhanji was different. The promotion of the cabinet made the emperor and the six ministries fight for power, and the cabinet helped the emperor and the six ministries fight for power.
How could the Sixth Department agree? Once they agreed, the Sixth Department would really become a department that acted according to the script, and its power could be said to have plummeted.
"Your Majesty, think twice...!" Officials from the six departments knelt on the ground.
Zhu Zhanji said in a calm tone: "This is my decision after thinking over and over again, and after thinking about it again and again, please don't discuss it any further."
Just leave it alone if you say... Six lungs are about to burst with anger, and even the sense of gain from adding a new governor is gone.
"Your Majesty, the real power of the cabinet is too great, and it will do great harm to the country and the country!"
Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji, the two most powerful bosses, said firmly: "Please take back the emperor's orders."
Zhu Zhanji said in his heart: Sure enough, it's not that easy to solve, but it doesn't matter. I had expected that you would do something like this.
He glanced at Li Qing.
This time, Li Qing did not evade. He also wanted to resolve the matter in the court as soon as possible.
After the situation stabilized, he would vigorously develop trade in the south, open up wasteland in the north, and then go for a walk on the grassland. After flexing his muscles, he would retire with success.
A clear and clear voice sounded: "Your Majesty, I have my due note!"
The ministers followed the sound and saw that Li Qing was leaving his duty, and the noisy hall immediately fell silent.
"What is Li Qing's original story?"
Li Qing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet has too much real power and brings too many disadvantages to the government. Without the restraint of the six ministries, there will be endless disasters."
Hearing this, the officials of the Sixth Department softened their expressions: Sure enough, although Li Qing is a bastard, he is one of his own after all, and his elbows should still be turned in at critical moments.
For a moment, they looked at Li Qing with unprecedented kindness, and some even reflected on how they had treated Li Qing so badly in the past.
The cabinet was facing a formidable enemy, fearing that the emperor would withdraw his order.
Huang Huai frowned and went out to refute.
Yang Shiqi had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed him: You are stupid, can you get any good results from fighting with Li Qing?
The situation is still unclear at the moment, so rushing to stand up in such a hurry seems to be too much of a love of power.
Huang Huai understood Yang Shiqi's eyes and returned to work unwillingly.
All eyes were focused on Li Qing, the six ministries were secretly happy, and the cabinet was nervous;
The Metropolitan Procuratorate, on the other hand, looked calm and relaxed. Anyway, they had already received their share. As for the Cabinet and the Six Ministries... screw them. We will not get involved.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate, which had previously united with the cabinet, abandoned the cabinet without hesitation.
Zhu Zhanji looked unhappy: "You also question me?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Li Qing's tone was calm and forceful.
Part 6: Li Shangshu is mighty!
Cabinet: It’s just you, right?
Zhu Zhanji sneered and said: "I am doing this for a better division of labor and more efficient governance. Do you have a better way?"
"A humble minister has no talent, but there is a way."
"Really?" Zhu Zhanji hummed, "Tell me about it."
Li Qingdao: "The Minister of Civil Affairs should have the power to refute the proposal. As the saying goes: A wise man will make mistakes in every consideration. The emperor's wisdom is true, but it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.
Someone must question the cabinet vote! "
"I second the proposal!" Jian Yi stood up without hesitation.
Cabinet: Shameless!
Zhu Zhanji struggled for a long time and said sadly: "Okay, it's up to you."
The cabinet is a little anxious, and they don't want anyone to get in the way.
The six ministries are also a little anxious. It is not enough for just one minister of the Ministry of Personnel to interfere with the affairs of the cabinet.
"Your Majesty, I still have this memorial!" Li Qing said again.
After hearing this, both parties had no choice but to hold back and listen quietly.
"It's accurate." Zhu Zhanji sounded a little dissatisfied.
Li Qing acted as if he had not heard anything and continued: "The emperor's move is really not conducive to the situation of the court. In addition to the cabinet, another force must intervene to achieve mutual checks and balances."
The Metropolitan Procuratorate was greatly refreshed: Isn't this us? Yongqing Hou is awesome!
The six ministries frowned, and the cabinet was filled with resentment: What kind of bad luck did the Metropolitan Procuratorate have?
Zhu Zhanji hummed: "Stop trying to be too pretentious and just tell me what kind of force it is?"
"eunuch!"
brush! ! !
Everyone's eyes were fixed, and then their expressions changed drastically. Dongchang had just suffered a loss, and they didn't want to make the same mistake again.
"Your Majesty, think twice." The six ministries and the cabinet spoke almost at the same time.
"Please be patient, gentlemen." Zhu Zhanji pressed his hands down, "Li Qing, why are you a eunuch?"
"Because eunuchs are not affiliated with any department and only serve the emperor, they are the most suitable." Li Qing said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of opposition continued.
The six ministries, the cabinet, and even the Imperial Procuratorate were all dismissed. In their eyes, the eunuchs were the emperor's minions, so how could they be qualified to participate in government affairs?
They look down on such people psychologically and do not even regard them as human beings.
"Does Your Majesty know that Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty called a deer a horse, which led to the death of the second generation of the Qin Dynasty?"
"Does Your Majesty know that in the late Han Dynasty, the ten constant attendants caused chaos and chaos, causing Han Dynasty to be divided into three kingdoms?"
"Does Your Majesty know that Tong Guan of the Song Dynasty was extremely vicious and led to the Jingkang Incident?"
"Does Your Majesty know that the great eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were so powerful that they could depose the emperor?"
…
The court was completely in a state of disarray. Some people were trying to persuade the emperor, while others were scolding Li Qing. The scoldings were all unpleasant.
Li Qing looked indifferent.
He once thought that the Ming Dynasty was tricked by the eunuchs. Later, when he came to the Ming Dynasty, he gradually discovered that this was not the case.
At least we can't rely entirely on the eunuchs for this big pot.
He even had a vague hunch that if the Ming Dynasty did not have the eunuch group, it might die faster.
Although the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were powerful, the emperor still killed them whenever he asked. If he was so powerful at nine thousand years old, wouldn't he be chopped into pieces by Chongzhen, who had become a monk halfway?
The Sixth Part is really popular, and they started to spray it directly, spraying Li Qing, spraying the cabinet, spraying the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and spraying the emperor!
They have only one appeal: don’t blindly change the system, and everything should be fine as it is.
The emperor and the six ministries can rule together, and don't bring in many more forces.
When the Six Divisions did this, the gunfire that had been unanimously directed towards the outside world instantly turned into a melee.
The cabinet sprayed the Sixth Department, and it also sprayed the eunuchs. The Metropolitan Procuratorate sprayed the Sixth Department, and it sprayed Li Qing, and the Sixth Department... sprayed everything.
The court was in chaos, and Li Qing went back to class to eat sunflower seeds, completely staying out of the situation.
…
Unknowingly, the morning court time had passed, but no one mentioned the matter of leaving the court. Zhu Zhanji was sitting on the ground, listening to their exchanges.
Soon, it was noon time.
Li Qing finished eating the melon seeds and started eating candied fruits.
The enthusiasm of the ministers remained the same.
In the blink of an eye, it was past noon, and Li Qing started eating pastries.
Zhu Zhanji was a little hungry, but he could only endure it. No matter what the reason was today, it would be difficult to discuss it later.
…
Afternoon application time.
Everyone was tired, hungry, and had smoke in their throats, but they still couldn't figure out why.
Everyone has different demands, and it is impossible to unify the caliber to form effective lethality.
Zhu Zhanji saw that the situation was almost over, and made a final decision: everything would still be reorganized according to the original plan, the Metropolitan Procuratorate would supervise officials in various places, the cabinet vote would be drafted, the six ministries would be appointed with additional governors, and the Supervisor of Ceremonies would be established!
However, Zhu Zhanji took a step back.
On the grounds that the eunuchs are illiterate, we will not set up an additional ceremonial supervisor for the time being, and instead set up an internal study hall first.
All the ministers were dissatisfied, but they were too tired, so they had no choice but to fight another day!
At the end of the dynasty, melon seed peels were particularly conspicuous, and Li Qing was accused of eating snacks during the dynasty!
Zhu Zhanji was furious: I'm still hungry.
So, he deducted Li Qing's salary for three months.
Li Qing was extremely angry: It’s okay if he doesn’t go to court this time.
…
The next day, all the six ministers and ministers headed by Jian Yi (except Li Qing, the cabinet) resigned.
Zhu Zhanji refused.
Jian Yi said: Unless the emperor can restore the old system.
Zhu Zhanji also refused.
Therefore, Liu Bu resolutely resigned.
At this time, the cabinet stood up and said: Your Majesty, if they don't do it, we will!
Zhu Zhanji was originally under a lot of pressure, but after the cabinet's interference, he instantly felt relieved.
The Six Divisions almost broke the defense, and their colleagues disrupted the situation, making Jian Yi and others furious.
The cabinet king is possessed, and the six departments have no moves at all.
In this way, the commotion continued for half a month. Finally, under the high pressure of the powerful Zhu Zhanji, the ministers reluctantly disagreed and refused.
Zhu Zhanji's restructuring has initially come to an end.
But he didn't dare to be careless. This group of people was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they might cause some trouble.
