Chapter 927: Arguing about the monthly ticket~)
Zhu Xu did not expect Bi Ziyan to suddenly raise this question, which was a bit unexpected.
However, King Jing's face was slightly dark, and his anger towards Bi Ziyan rose sharply. Logically, they were all auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, and even if they had any ideas, they should communicate first, instead of directly stabbing the emperor and slapping him in the face, embarrassing him.
King Jing could not bear Bi Ziyan anymore and said to Zhu Xu directly: "Emperor, I think that no matter where the law is, the cabinet should not intervene, otherwise it will become a tool for some people, which is not conducive to the realization of the goal of the 'New Deal'."
Zhu Xu revised the Ming Dynasty law, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was because the government affairs before the Tianqi revelation were corrupt and the ministers fought fiercely. This Ming Dynasty law was used to curb the selfishness of the court officials and strengthen the discipline of the court.
King Jing's words are also profound, implying that Bi Ziyan is suspected of attempting to manipulate the power of law formulation and modification to seek personal gain.
Bi Ziyan suddenly mentioned this, actually because he wanted to test Zhu Xu, and to see clearly what Zhu Xu thought and where the future political reform would go. However, he did not expect that King Jing would "rebel" at this time, which made him lose all his efforts.
Bi Ziyan frowned and had to admit that King Jing said this very cleverly. Although he knew it was referring to him, he could not refute it and he still had to agree with it with high profile.
He also felt angry in his heart, and he was better at cultivating. He looked at Zhu Xu and said, "I believe that the cabinet, the six ministries, the Governor's Court, the Dali Temple, etc. can participate, but cannot decide the power of the law and the amendment must be independent of the court, so that it can restrain officials in the world, curb corruption, party struggles, etc.."
King Jing originally wanted to angrily fight again, but when Bi Ziyan's tone slowed down, he turned his mind and couldn't speak anymore, and sat without moving expressionlessly.
Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan, then looked at the other four people again, his face as usual, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and still thought freely.
Zhu Xu had an idea about the legislative body for a long time, but this idea was very immature and not safe enough. It was really easy to become a tool for party struggles between court ministers. If it develops to a certain extent, it would be easy to abolish the country and usurp the throne.
How to ensure that the independence of the legislative body is not eroded and manipulated is a very big issue. Zhu Xu thought about it for a long time but couldn't make it right.
He had a blurry outline in his heart, but he still wanted to wait and see more, wait for the presidency and the political system was stable.
However, since Bi Ziyan said it, he could not be confused. After careful consideration, Zhu Xu looked at the three of them and said with a slightly dark face: "I am also considering this matter. The Governor's General Assembly is responsible for supervision and cannot be a legislator anymore. However, I am still considering how to establish a legal institution. Now the 'new policy' is a critical moment, so you can't be distracted. You have a clear idea about this matter. You can think about it again, but don't take action, and you can't reveal it, so as not to frost people's hearts and let some people come up with thoughts they shouldn't have..."
Bi Ziyan had Zhu Xu's correct words and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief. If the Governor General continued like this, it would be too terrible and would require early response.
King Jing became more and more dissatisfied with Bi Ziyan. Sitting there, he felt incompatible with the cabinet and was isolated.
Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting had almost the same thoughts as Bi Ziyan, with his expression still and his eyes were gentle.
Zhu Xu didn't want to say much about this matter, holding a teacup, looking like a rushing passengers and said, "Is there anything else?"
Bi Ziyan looked at Sun Chengzong and others and said, "Emperor, Zhang Bingwen, the Minister of Revenue, went out of Beijing last time and found many problems. I thought, after April next year, the cabinet and the court officials of the six ministries took turns to go out of Beijing to conduct open and secret investigations to see what it looks like outside the Beijing."
As if he was afraid that Zhu Xu would not agree, Sun Chengzong continued: "I also have the same concerns as the emperor. All the places are far away from the capital. It is difficult to get the whole picture by relying on the memorial alone. The twenty-two censors in the Imperial Palace have not been a year or two for a year. I can't wait and want to go out and take a look."
Zhu Xu looked at these people and laughed in his heart. These people were probably not just thinking about this, but also trying to put pressure on the ground and establish the prestige of the cabinet.
Strengthening the authority of the cabinet is also Zhu Xu's plan. Since the few people were attentive, he naturally would not stop him. He pretended to be pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, but the government must be arranged properly and not delayed."
"Abide by the order." Bi Ziyan and others breathed a long sigh of relief. It was at this time that they realized how much pressure the people in front of them were put on.
"Is there anything else?" Zhu Xu still had the same action, just like he was just driving people.
Bi Ziyan and others looked at each other and stood up and said, "I'm waiting..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and pressed it down, saying, "Don't worry, I have nothing to say."
The five of them were stunned, looked at Zhu Xu again, and sat back slowly.
Zhu Xu groped in the tea and said, "Today Lu Jiandou came to me and said that he didn't want to be taken by the patrol battalion and wanted to go to the capital to command troops. What do you think?"
Jian Dou, the word "Lu Xiangsheng".
Bi Ziyan and others frowned and looked at each other and began to think.
Lu Xiangsheng's official position was general, and he was in Shandong, He and South for several years. He had a qualification. In addition, he was in charge of the patrol battalion and had a higher status. It can be said that it was not appropriate to leave Beijing and then command the troops of a province. It was not enough for a large battalion commander. How should this be arranged?
Sun Chuanting is still a pure civil servant. He thought for a while after hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, do you want Lu Xiang to be promoted from Beijing?"
"It is my philosophy of employing people by all means, and the ability to use them by all means," Zhu Xu said lightly.
Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "Emperor, it's better to transfer Lu Xiang to the Ministry of War and be appointed as the Minister of War. It will be much easier to transfer it out of the capital in the future."
Zhu Xu's eyes lit up slightly. This is a solution, it is indeed a good one.
Sun Chengzong pondered for a while and suddenly said, "I agree, it's OK."
Bi Ziyan suddenly came over and said, "I will follow you."
Prince Jing and Wang Qiaonian looked at each other, and the three cabinet masters agreed and could only say, "I will discuss it."
Zhu Xu saw the cabinets agreeing, and was stunned at first, then woke up. If Lu Xiangsheng had the title of Minister of War, he would bring the patrol battalion to the Ministry of War again.
Zhu Xu's fingers moved habitually a few times, and smiled and said, "That's it, what do you think about Shanhaiguan?"
The status of Shanhaiguan is highlighted because of the large-scale Jiannu. This place is the most solid, first steep and last line of defense. It has been built in the Wanli period and has already been on a considerable scale at the end of the Apocalypse. Now that Jiannu has been destroyed, Shen and Sunshine are restored, and the military center of gravity is moved northward, Shanhaiguan seems a bit "insignificant".
This aspect naturally depends on Sun Chengzong's opinion, and Bi Ziyan and others all looked at him.
Sun Chengzong pondered, looked at Bi Ziyan and others, and said, "Prince, regarding the Northern War Zone Camp, I originally planned to place it in Shenyang, which is the most suitable place. However, Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan, I do not plan to place too many troops, and a thousand people can be stationed."
If the court now thinks, Shanhaiguan will never be allowed to be vacant. This way, it will be too dangerous to open the door and completely open the capital!
Sure enough, as soon as Sun Chengzong finished speaking, Bi Ziyan and others, even Sun Chuanting, had slightly changed their faces. They looked at Sun Chengzong and looked at Zhu Xu anxiously.
Although people nowadays think that the Kongxuan Shanhaiguan is indeed dangerous, Zhu Xu knows that this is not dangerous at all, at least for a hundred years. If there is no trouble one day, the sun will fall, and Shanhaiguan will not be able to stop the enemy. It is already the age of hot weapons, and there is no enough awareness and is a domestic fortress. It is good-sounding and not good-looking at all!
The key to the problem is that Zhu Xu did not ask about the resettlement location of the Northern Camp, but wanted to ask Xiong Tingbi.
Since Cao Wenzhao refused to be the head of the Northern Camp, he had to find someone to replace him. Xiong Tingbi was the most suitable one, with enough qualifications and prestige.
“I’ll discuss this matter again.”
Zhu Xu decisively put aside this topic and said, "Do you have any ideas about Xiong Tingbi?"
Everyone was slightly stunned, but they didn't expect that Zhu Xu wanted to ask this.
The five people looked at each other and were silent again.
Xiong Tingbi is also a troublesome person. He was originally the Chu Party, but he got close to the Donglin Party. Finally, he joined His Highness Hui, who was still in the secret residence, who was very sensitive and complicated. He has been Shanhaiguan for many years, very low-key and very close to the capital. But he never made a statement in the major affairs of the Donglin Party and other courts, and many people almost forgot about this person.
Zhu Xu suddenly mentioned this, except for Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting, the other three were a little surprised.
Sun Chengzong faced Sun Chuanting Yu Guang, and then spoke, "Your Majesty, do you intend to let him be the head coach of a large camp?"
Seeing that he asked so directly, Zhu Xu glanced at the five people and said, "Western War Zone, Qin Liangyu, Yang Sichang, Northern War Zone, Xiong Tingbi, Eastern War Zone, Lu Xiangsheng, without a central area, what do you think?"
Bi Ziyan didn't say anything and looked at Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting. Although he had some ideas, he still had to avoid suspicion.
This time it was Sun Chuanting who spoke, saying, "Your Majesty, I suggest that the Eastern Theater Command be suspended and a maritime theater be established, and the navy guards the coast to ensure the safety of the Eastern Theater Command."
Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, and he felt like he was thinking.
He didn't expect this at all. It was indeed a very novel idea. If the concept of a maritime war zone could be used, it would inevitably help the Ming Dynasty go to sea, increase its attention to the ocean, and even formulate a maritime strategy!
With the maritime theater as a buffer, the status of the East theater will decline, and it would be okay if it is not set.
Zhu Xu thought, and looked at the others and said, "Tell me."
Sun Chengzong was a little surprised by Sun Chuanting's sudden thoughts and pondered: "Your Majesty, I do not object, but according to the current situation, I believe that we should take it step by step. The maritime war zone can be recorded in the emperor and the cabinet, and the appropriate opportunity will be activated again."
Zhu Xu nodded imperceptibly. The Master Sun's idea was still a bit conservative, and he still had a resistant attitude towards overseas, but he was worried about Zhu Xu and did not say anything openly.
Bi Ziyan immediately said, "I agree. I believe that now is not the time for our Ming Dynasty to expand, and we still need to keep a low profile and repair our internal affairs."
King Jing and Wang Qiaonian couldn't speak, and both looked at the last Sun Chuanting.
