After a while, Bi Ziyan said, "Emperor, I believe that the appointment, assessment, budget and allocation of money and grain, affairs of each department, and appointment of key officials should be decided by the cabinet. Only by uniting power and duties can it reach the upper and lower levels. Otherwise, it will be scattered and unable to effectively act, and it will increase internal friction, which will be detrimental to the stability of the court. The implementation of the "new policy"..."

Zhu Xu listened quietly. Bi Ziyan did not go around the corner. He was very direct and had a clear idea. He wanted to seize power from the six ministries and appoint key officials from the six ministries. This was to thoroughly grasp the six ministries and turn the six ministries into subordinates and executive agencies of the cabinet.

Zhu Xu had no objection to the centralization of the cabinet. A strong and firm cabinet is necessary to promote government affairs, but the cabinet and the six ministries have their own powers and duties, and cannot be deprived of them in absolutely. Turning the six ministries into empty spaces will backfire.

These Zhu Xu didn't say it, and said calmly: "Well, keep talking."

Bi Ziyan said: "I have discussed carefully with the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice, and they all have their own ideas. I have already prepared a note and submit it to the emperor first. I will hold a cabinet meeting in a few days to discuss it carefully..."

Zhu Xu didn't say anything, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others promised that they would enter the cabinet. At this time, he would not be embarrassed with Bi Ziyan and would not let go of his position.

"...I plan to transfer Sun Chuanting, the Prime Minister of Liaodong, to the cabinet, and ask the emperor to allow him. Lord Sun has rich experience in government affairs and local government affairs and strong abilities. I think he is the most suitable for entering the cabinet." Bi Ziyan said.

Zhu Xu had known this a long time ago, and agreed, nodded and said, "Accurately, I'll order him to enter the capital before the year to Kadong Pavilion."

"Thank you, the emperor." Bi Ziyan glanced at Zhu Xu and said again: "The year is approaching and everything is complicated. I have prepared a memorial and asked the emperor to read it."

Zhu Xu said "yes", reached out to take it, opened it and looked.

He frowned at the first glance. Bi Ziyan's idea of ​​the cabinet exceeded his imagination. Not only did he take away the personnel power of the Ministry of Personnel, the financial power of the Ministry of Revenue, but also the tax power of the State Administration of Taxation, the coin and issuance rights of the Royal Money House, and even the appointment of officials from the last six ministries and nine temples must be held in his hands, almost turning all institutions except the cabinet into puppets. The allocation, decision-making, execution, supervision, review, etc. of the cabinet government affairs have very detailed presets, which seem quite complicated.

At the same time, Bi Ziyan believed that the appointment and removal power of governors, governors and prefects of various prefectures should also be included in the cabinet, seeking to strengthen the imperial court's control over the local area.

Then, he also wrote a series of regulations on the land system and farmers, hoping to establish a stricter household registration system to control population mobility and lock the people firmly on the ground.

He then suggested that there should be restrictions on merchants, especially Huitong Trading Bank, which has been taken over by the cabinet, seeking to split and curb the impact of trade on agriculture. He even made "safe plans" for customs and sea trade.

Zhu Xu looked at it, his expression still.

Such a memorial was actually impeccable in the entire Ming Dynasty. All the methods were all for dealing with disasters and ensuring national stability. The methods, methods and methods were correct.

The only disadvantage is the pattern!

Now is a turning point in the development of the entire world. If you cannot go head-on, you will be left far behind, and will stagnate or even retreat. The world outside the Ming Dynasty will develop rapidly and leapfrogly.

Bi Ziyan saw Zhu Xu pondering but not speaking, his heart beat slightly, but he was patient and lowered his head slightly without asking.

Zhu Xu looked at this memorial over and over again, and there were many advantages to his government affairs, and he also picked up many shortcomings. However, the word "pattern" is enough to erase too many.

It's no wonder that Bi Ziyan is a surprise. Even if Europeans embarked on the Age of Discovery, it can only be regarded as an accident. The Ottoman blocked the trade channel on the road, which forced them to conduct dangerous maritime adventures. It would be too difficult for the Ming people from the upper country of the Celestial Kingdom to go to sea, and they would not expect the great changes in the world in the future.

Zhu Xu looked up at Bi Ziyan, thinking about his words. The adults in the court were hit and denied by him. Now he must be careful to comfort him and not really hurt their confidence.

After a while, Zhu Xu said, "The cabinet and the six ministries each have their own powers. In terms of subordinate relationships, the cabinet governs the six ministries, but it cannot simply take over the power and emptied all the six ministries. The cabinet has the power of the cabinet. The six ministries have the responsibilities of the six ministries. All things cannot be done by the cabinet in person. We must believe in the departments below and give enough autonomy. In this way, we can exert the enthusiasm of everyone and fully allocate all powers instead of becoming internal frictions of the court... Therefore, for what rights should the cabinet have, what should the six ministries and nine temples should have, and how to avoid people being overstand and pulling each other's back, we must think carefully and choose carefully..."

Bi Ziyan was stunned and looked up at Zhu Xu with a strange look.

It was not because of Zhu Xu's words, but his tone, not a direct denial or a decision made in the past, but a "negotiation" tone.

Zhu Xu did not notice Bi Ziyan's expression, and was still considering it in his heart, saying, "About the land you mentioned, Annan and Liaodong are now immigrating. The relevant policies should be distinguished and cannot be covered up, which will make the local people embarrassed. Not only should we strengthen the control of the local people, but we should also investigate the local situation. We cannot look at the memorial to decide the important affairs of the national government, especially the Governor's General Council. We must pay attention to it. This is an important channel for us to understand the local people..."

Bi Ziyan lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu glanced at him and said, "About the commercial part, you are not doing it in detail enough, too general. We don't know about the business environment, business categories, differences between the north and the south, differences between the east and the west, etc. We don't know about it. We have not conducted a detailed investigation and no specific numbers, so we can't kill it with one blow. We need to have a specific plan, which should be prohibited, which should be cracked down, which should be restricted, and which should be supported. We must understand these... Especially for the Hai Trade Industry, I plan to try it. The cabinet should not stop it. I will first see the specific effect..."

Bi Ziyan listened to Zhu Xu's words and saw that there was no intention of coercing. He felt relieved and felt that he was right and said, "Yes."

Regarding Bi Ziyan, Zhu Xu felt that it was not suitable for the secondary assistant, but the new secondary assistant still needs to be cultivated, which takes time. He pondered for a while and said, "Sun Chuanting, go to Beijing as soon as possible, and the cabinet will be improved first."

"Yes." Bi Ziyandao. He was quite satisfied with Sun Chuanting. This person is good at keeping integrity and military affairs. He is a rare talent.

"What did you arrange for the big discussion?" Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and said with a change of topic.

Bi Ziyan sat upright and said, "I'm still preparing, I wonder what the emperor has to tell you?"

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said, "I plan to change the form, and the left auxiliary will convey to the governors of the provinces and the governors of the court's specific government affairs and plans for next year. It must be detailed, including all aspects, official appointments and removals, money and grain expenditures. The governors of the provinces and the governors of each province can ask questions, question them, and then discuss the best way. In addition, I consider opening up the voting for trust, that is, they vote on each cabinet and the six ministers of the ministers. If they are less than a certain proportion, they will be dismissed and transferred..."

Bi Ziyan frowned immediately. Wouldn't the cabinet be subject to local jurisdiction like this?

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, Bi Ziyan pondered and said, "Emperor, this move may affect the prestige of the cabinet..."

Zhu Xu had considered this point for a long time, but the cabinet must be restricted. Now the Supervisory Yuan is not mature, and such a "counter" from the local area is also conducive to their subjective initiative, rather than relying on the court in everything and being passive in the matter.

Zhu Xu said, "The cabinet can discuss the specific methods and methods again, but it will definitely give full opportunities to express local opinions. It is unreliable to rely entirely on memorials..."

Bi Ziyan felt something, thought for a while and said, "Yes, after I go back, I will discuss a specific solution according to the emperor's wishes, and report it to the emperor."

Zhu Xu slightly said, "Since Sun Chuanting has confirmed to enter Beijing, don't delay other matters. Zhou Yingqiu, Fu Changzong, and the six ministers of the ministers of the Ministry of Education, your cabinet should come up with a solution as soon as possible, and there is no need to delay the New Year. Be sure to settle and be in good morning..."

Zhu Xu also discussed the arrangements of these people with Bi Ziyan. After hearing this, Bi Ziyan said: "Yes, after I go back, I will summon the cabinet and discuss the six ministers of the ministries. I will make a decision as soon as possible. Regarding the resignation of titles and the Royal Court, I also plan to issue an edict before the end of the year to avoid affecting the major discussion."

Zhu Xu stood up, waved his hand and nodded, "Well, I will enter the pavilion tomorrow, be ready, send it over and stamp it."

"Abide by the order." Bi Ziyan stood up and quietly glanced at Zhu Xu.

Although the emperor failed to fully agree with his memorial, he discovered an accident, that is, the emperor's attitude seemed to have changed and he did not intend to continue to suppress the cabinet.

Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan's back, pinched his chin and thought about it, and then he started laughing.

Although Bi Ziyan is not the kind of pioneering minister he wants, he is valuable to be indomitable and hardworking.

"Bad man!" the little girl buried her head in writing and muttered in a low voice.

The room was very quiet, and Zhu Xu immediately heard it, frowned, and said, "Check it three times, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat!"

The little girl suddenly widened her eyes and said angrily, "Uncle, you bully someone!"

Zhu Xu ignored her and looked at Cao Huachun and said, "What's going on over the Ministry of War?"

Seeing that Zhu Xu ignored him, the little girl said angrily: "I want to ask my mother to judge him!"

Cao Huachun was used to the bickering between his uncle and nephew, so he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lu has taken over the patrol battalion. There seems to be some voices on the Ministry of War, but he was suppressed by Master Sun. He has no complete idea about military reform yet."

Zhu Xu umshot and looked at him and smiled: "I'm afraid that it's not that I don't have a complete idea, but I'm worried that I will reject it again. I'm trying to find a way to advise me?"

Cao Huachun bowed slightly and didn't say anything.

Sun Chengzong quietly communicated with many military personnel, hoping to unite to convince the emperor and prevent the unity of military power. Naturally, these could not be hidden from the emperor, and some memorials have even been included in the statute.

Zhu Xu actually understood Sun Chengzong's idea very well, but the integration of military power is a historical trend, and the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is not suitable for continuing the dispersion of military power. They have no choice but to oppose or delay this matter.
