Zhu Yunxuan smiled and said: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, it has been approved by public discussion. From now on, an advisory office and a military affairs office will be set up to take charge of government affairs and military affairs respectively."
"Next, let's discuss a specific plan."
The hearts of Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and all the civil servants were lifted again.
Just at the beginning, an army was captured and the military power was seized by force.
What will happen next?
They were all extremely nervous, their bodies became hot, and they were sweating profusely.
"Your Highness Taisun, the Counselor's Office is responsible for the affairs of the government, and the employment of people is extremely important. The lower officials recommended Huang Zicheng, the Minister of Dali Temple, and Qitai, the left minister of the Ministry of War, took charge of the Counselor's Office and became the Counselor."
"The lower officials recommended Liu Sanwu, a Hanlin scholar, to take charge of the advisory office."
"Recommended by lower officials..."
Officials came out one after another to recommend others to the advisory office.
Zhu Yunzhen never replied or commented.
If there is a recommendation memorial, he will collect it and put it aside.
He waved his hand, and a young eunuch immediately brought a tray with a very well-made leather box inside.
All the officials were puzzled and didn't understand what medicine Zhu Yunzhen was selling in his gourd.
Zhu Yunxuan smiled and said: "Do you still remember why this dynasty abolished the prime minister?"
As soon as these words came out, many officials below had looks of horror on their faces.
Hu Weiyong was the prime minister at the beginning, but later he was accused by Lao Zhu of "conspiracy" to kill the nine tribes.
This case has implicated countless officials in the court. Even though Hu Weiyong has been executed and the Prime Minister has been deposed for more than ten years, "Hu Party members" are still caught, convicted, and executed from time to time, and even implicated nine ethnic groups.
Over the years, more than 30,000 people have been involved in Hu's case.
All the officials in the DPRK and China changed their expressions upon hearing this.
His Highness Taisun suddenly brought up the Hu case, which immediately made all the officials in the court uneasy.
Zhu Yunxuan smiled slightly.
"The Counselor's Office acts as an agent for state affairs and reviews the memorials of hundreds of officials. It has more power than the prime minister, or even more."
"If you hold the world's soldiers, you will be wearing a yellow robe."
"With the power of a king, one will inevitably have evil intentions."
"With a sharp weapon in his possession, he has a murderous intention."
"Do you think we can prevent the ministers who control the Council from becoming the second Hu Weiyong?"
quiet!
The main hall of Nuo Da was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
All the officials held their breath and concentrated, not daring to say anything.
Liu Sanwu came out and said, "I think the office of counselor is different from the prime minister."
"The prime minister will inevitably have arbitrary power if he entrusts it to others."
"As for the counselors in the advisory office, there can be several people, maybe ten people, to supervise each other, so that there are checks and balances, and this worry can be solved."
All the officials immediately nodded in agreement.
"Yes, the authority is not delegated to one person, and there are checks and balances on each other." All the officials replied almost in unison.
Zhu Yun asked with a smile: "What if they colluded with each other like the ten regular servants in the late Han Dynasty?"
The hall fell silent again.
After a while, a civil servant stood up and said: "The ten permanent servants are all treacherous villains who deceived the emperor and played with the government, which led to the chaos in the late Han Dynasty."
"But Your Majesty is so wise, how could he be deceived?"
"Although His Highness Taisun is young, his intelligence is known all over the world. Who can play with His Highness Taisun?"
"The ministers who consult the government are all recommended by knowledgeable people in the court. The officials below have a righteous heart, and the Majesty above has your majesty and grandson's ability to recognize people. Even if one person is arrogant, it will never be the same for everyone. There is no need Worrying is unfounded."
Zhu Yunxuan laughed loudly, turned to the generals and nobles, and said: "Since the Counseling Office and the Military Affairs Office are going to be established, it is better to discuss the Military Affairs Office first."
The officials were surprised.
After a good discussion about the Advisory Office, why was it suddenly transferred to the Military Affairs Office?
Is His Highness Taisun's thinking so out of the ordinary?
Many people are thinking about its purpose in their hearts, but they can't figure it out.
But since His Highness Taisun changed the topic, they could only follow.
Qi Tai stood up and said: "I believe that although the Military Affairs Office is in charge of military affairs, it cannot just select military generals to take charge, but also civilian officials."
Other civil servants immediately spoke out in support.
"Yes, the power of the military and state cannot be entrusted entirely to the hands of generals. Otherwise, rebellion will inevitably breed."
There was a lot of fuss just now, and the result was that the Advisory Office and the Military Affairs Office were separated, which made many civil servants unhappy.
I still can't let go of my desire to seize military power.
At this time, it was brought up again.
If they are divided, they should be divided, but civilian officials still have to enter the Military Affairs Office.
Even if you can't take the lead, you can at least supervise.
When necessary, you can disrupt their affairs.
Lan Yu frowned slightly.
Just now, under Zhu Yunzhen's suggestion, he urged military generals to enter the Advisory Office, and finally got the result of separating the Military Affairs Office and taking charge of military affairs.
But with the Military Affairs Office set up, Lan Yu found it difficult to speak.
If he were to compete for the position of Minister of Military Affairs at this time, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Not only Lan Yu, but other generals and nobles also had the same thoughts.
It is different from the civil servants who only want to fight for military power.
What military generals think is that as long as they are not suppressed by civilian officials, they can ensure the prosperity and wealth of themselves and their descendants. However, they do not want to have military power.
Because they hold military power, they will inevitably arouse suspicion.
As long as they have no intention of rebellion, military power is often a hot potato in their eyes.
Not arousing the emperor's suspicion and maintaining prosperity and wealth forever are much more important than having military power.
Of course, the reason why civilian officials dared to fight for military power was because no one believed that civilian officials could rely on "military power" to rebel.
After all, compared with generals who eat and sleep with soldiers and go through life and death together, civilian officials only control the troops but do not lead them.
If they don't lead the soldiers themselves and let them rebel, then they will only kill the person who gave the order first.
At present, faced with the struggle for power among civil servants, the generals and nobles are in a dilemma.
Let's fight. It means seizing military power and arousing suspicion.
Don't fight, let the civilian officials take control of the Military Affairs Office, and ride on your head to dominate and dominate, this is intolerable!
Lan Yu's eyes looked at Zhu Yunzhen again.
Since he just hinted that he would do that and set up the Ministry of Internal Affairs separately, he probably didn't want the civilian officials to take full power.
The Military Affairs Office and the Advisory Office must check and balance each other.
Zhu Yunxuan nodded slightly and said: "The Military Affairs Office is in charge of military and national affairs. It is unusual. It should select talented people who are like gods in military affairs, and people who have been on the battlefield and are good at fighting, so as not to cause any mistakes."
"What I mean is to invite more meritorious ministers to come in."
"Feng Sheng, Duke of Song Dynasty, Fu Youde, Duke of Ying State, Lan Yu, Duke of Liang State, Xu Huizu, Duke of Cao State, and other military generals and ministers have joined the Military Affairs Office to act as military agents."
"Choose capable generals as assistants."
"What do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials in the court looked in disbelief.
It was originally thought that the purpose of setting up the Military Affairs Office was to withdraw military power.
Therefore, the Minister of Military Affairs appointed by the Military Affairs Department is either a civilian official or a low-ranking military general. In any case, he cannot be a general with heavy troops and great military achievements.
Otherwise, these people are already in trouble, and if they are given great power, who else can restrain them?
This is also the key reason why Qi Tai proposed that civil servants enter the Military Affairs Office.
Controlling military commanders is not just an idea of their civil servants.
Your Majesty and His Royal Highness Taisun should also think so.
But Zhu Yunxuan just didn't follow the routine.
Not only did he not take away the military power of the generals, he instead allowed them to join the Military Affairs Office and become Ministers of Military Affairs.
Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and all the civil servants, including Lan Yu, as well as the generals and nobles present, were all shocked and speechless.
Even in the eyes of the military officers and nobles, it is inevitable that after the establishment of the Military Affairs Office, the power of the generals will be taken away.
This has always been the case in all dynasties.
They were also mentally prepared.
As long as you don't let those civil servants be too arrogant and shit on your head, that'll be fine.
But I never expected that His Highness the Grand Sun’s list would be different from what everyone thought.
"Your Highness Taisun!"
Liu Sanwu bowed his hands and wanted to dissuade him.
No matter what, this cannot happen.
If not, he plans to fight to the end and ask Lao Zhu to take charge.
Zhu Yunxu cannot be allowed to do whatever he wants.
After handing over all the military power to the generals and nobles, can the world still have the surname "Zhu" in the future?
"These people already hold heavy troops and have high prestige in the army. They have led troops all over the country. If they are allowed to enter the Military Affairs Office and are given the power to handle military affairs, how should they be restrained?"
Liu Sanwu spoke out and remonstrated.
The civil servants nodded, this is the right thing to do.
The generals and nobles also remained speechless.
This is a very taboo thing.
Even if they are all rough guys, they also know that this kind of thing is not something they can say casually.
"Well said!" Zhu Yunxuan praised.
"Yes, since he is allowed to enter the Military Affairs Office, there must be some restrictions."
Zhu Yunzhen raised the leather box in his hand and said, "This is Gu's restraint method."
