Chapter 368 The minister is the puppet of the king, and the great victory will be passed on again!
Zhu Mai said to Long Wenguang first: "Yuan Jixian is a central person, and now he is the chief minister of the cabinet. He will have a lot of time and energy to spend on cabinet affairs, so he should not interfere with too many affairs of the Ministry of Personnel.
Mr. Huando is currently the only minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He should do a good job in selecting talents and selecting talents for our palace and putting the right officials in the right position."
Zhu Ma's words were already very straightforward for the Ming Dynasty ministers and scholars who were good at speaking tactfully, that is, let Long Wenguang select and appoint officials in the Ministry of Personnel according to her needs.
Long Wenguang was also a scholar. If another monarch asked this, he would not give him a soft nail, so as not to be regarded as a villain who flattered the monarch by the Scholars, and could also gain a reputation for himself.
But he has been following Zhu Mai for nearly a year, and his knowledge of Zhu Mai is much more than that of these officials in Nanjing.
Therefore, after hearing this, he bowed and said, "I will do my duty and live up to the expectations of the governor."
Zhu Mo nodded and looked at Liu Linchang again.
"He Yingrui, the Minister of Works, seemed to have no presence in the Hongguang Dynasty before, but this also shows that he is good at practical work and does not like political struggles.
His abilities may be average, but he must be with Mr. Meng Long (Liu Linchang).
Therefore, after Mr. Meng Long took office, he could work together with him to handle the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and reform the military weapons bureau in Nanjing as soon as possible, and establish steel plants, arsenals, shipyards and other military industries.
In addition, Song Yingxing, the new doctor of the Ministry of Works, was a talented person in the engineering and engineering encyclopedia of the Ming Dynasty, and Chen Yujie, the chief of the Ministry of Works, was a talent for mathematics and military industry.
Mr. Meng Long can test their actual talents. If they are not weak, they can rely on their credit.”
Liu Linchang heard that he did not need any intrigue at work, so he suddenly relaxed and immediately bowed: "I will remember the instructions of the supervisor."
"You two, please go to the place where you are staying first." Zhu Mei said, "The next day will be the day when I ascend the throne. I will be busy tomorrow."
The two bowed and retreated to leave Wuying Hall.
The next day is May 25th.
As the Minister of the Assistant, Long Wenguang and Liu Linchang must participate in the throne ceremony. Tomorrow, they will be called to proficient in the process and even rehearse, so as not to make any mistakes in the ceremony.
This is the result of the simplification of the process of Zhu Ma's ascension ceremony, otherwise she and all the officials would definitely need more time to practice.
Zhu Mai looked at Wang Yingxiong and said, "The position of the Chief of the Legal Council is valuable. Can you tell me why I want Mr. Chunshi to come to the office?"
Wang Yingxiong tried his best to turn his brain and think hard.
In terms of character, ministers better than him could not count both hands; in terms of understanding and mastering the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he could not rank even more; in terms of reputation, he also captured 10 or 20 in the court.
After all, Wang Yingxiong still had some IQ after all.
After thinking about it, he finally realized something and said tentatively: "I have nothing to do with it. The only thing that can be dedicated to the country is a loyalty."
"Mr. Chunshi is really a smart person." Zhu Mei smiled, "In the position of the Court of Justice, I value loyalty. In other words, only those who are loyal to me and have no different intentions can be the Chief of the Court of the Court."
What Zhu Ma said is actually false.
The candidates for the Legal Council do need loyalty, but more importantly, obedience is to be a person who is willing to obey her orders and be a puppet for her.
In fact, she was the candidate of the Legal Council, and the rest had no right to interfere, which confirmed that the Court could only follow her orders.
The reason for doing this is related to the initial function of the Ming Dynasty Legal Council as planned by Zhu Ma.
Wang Yingxiong is not Qingliu, but also an official fan.
Therefore, after hearing Zhu Ma's words, he immediately bowed and expressed his opinion, "I must be loyal to the governor, but I will obey the orders of the governor!"
"Okay, next I will talk to Mr. Harushi about the Legal Department..."
The Legal Council discussed by Zhu Mai and Hao Guangming had only four departments at first, namely: the Legal Department, the Law Amendment Department, the Supreme Court, and the Ming Dynasty Law Proposal Conference.
The Department of Justice is like the Department of Revenue Affairs of the Ministry of Revenue and the Department of Finance of the Ministry of Finance, and is actually the office of the department.
The Law Amendment Department is mainly responsible for the drafting, conclusion, amendment, interpretation and other related matters of the Ming Dynasty Law other than the "Great Edict (Specially designated by the Constitution of the Ming Dynasty).
The Supreme Court is responsible for ruling cases that cannot be ruled by the three-level courts of the Ming Dynasty, and regularly inspects the cases that are ruled by local courts to replace Dali Temple.
As for the "Ming Dynasty Law Proposal Conference", it mainly helped Zhu Mei collect legal opinions from local and even various classes in the Ming Dynasty to facilitate the revision of the law.
Generally speaking, the "Ming Dynasty Law Proposal Conference" is held once every five years. The local court, government and supervisory departments jointly nominate "members" of various local and strata, and then hand them over to the people of the Legal Affairs Department to select some of them to Beijing to attend the conference.
Zhu Mai and Hao Guangming both knew that it would be difficult for later generations to achieve true fairness and justice in this regard, and it would be even more impossible in the Ming Dynasty.
But even if there are all kinds of dirty things, they can still play a part of the role of collecting folk opinions.
Because the places here will go to each township, and all classes will also go to each subdivided industries.
In addition, the nominations of local governments, courts and supervision departments are submitted separately, and they are not allowed to communicate.
In short, it is to ensure a certain degree of fairness and justice to the greatest extent, so that the "Ming Dynasty Law Proposal Conference" can play a certain role.
In addition, the preparation of this conference took time. The two estimated that the first session would take at least three to five years to start. At that time, the local officialdom environment in the Ming Dynasty must be better than now.
The main position of the Legal Council is important because, in Zhu Ma’s regulations, the House has a veto power to reject any legal proposals discussed by the “Ming Ming Law Proposal Conference”!
In this way, Zhu Meishi can deny the laws and regulations that she does not want to appear by selecting the Chief Executive of the Institute.
Although a little smarter person can see the problem in this set of rules, so what?
For the superiors, having a puppet fighting with his ministers in front is very different from the end of himself - this can at least protect the basic face.
Wang Yingxiong is Zhu Mo's puppet in the Legal Council.
After understanding, Wang Yingxiong breathed a sigh of relief.
He was originally worried that Zhu Ma would give him some difficult tasks, but he didn't expect to just let him be a puppet.
He is the best at being a puppet.
Finally, Zhu Mai said: "In addition to this conference, you must also be optimistic about the Supreme Court and the third-level courts in various places below. It is best not to have major or large-scale corruption and dereliction of duty, otherwise I will not be able to protect you, do you understand?"
"I understand!"
After the talk, Zhu Ma was about to let Wang Yingxiong leave when he saw Liu Shuying hurriedly carrying a piece of paper, but a cheerful smile appeared on her face.
After she bowed and bowed, she said, "Congratulations to the regent. Jingnanbo sent a telegram saying that he and Li Guoying destroyed Liu Liangzuo at the Dingtadian south of Huoqiu, Fengyang Prefecture, and killed Liu Liangchen, and captured Liu Liangzuo alive!"
When Zhu Mai couldn't help but be happy when she heard that Huang Degong had finally wiped out the Liu brothers who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, she immediately received the telegram and looked at her in person.
Wang Yingxiong was also very happy and said, "Congratulations to the governor and congratulate the governor! Such a great victory will surely add more glory to the throne ceremony in the future!"
Zhu Moe didn't answer the conversation - her attention was all on the good news from the telegram.
Previously, as Hao Guangming expected, Liu Liangzuo easily surrendered to the Qing Dynasty under the persuasion of his younger brother Liu Liangchen because he did not know the Nanjing Incident and the existence of Zhu Ma.
Then Liu Liang started a hundred thousand troops from the left and headed south from Shouzhou and took Luzhou Prefecture!
However, although Liu Liangzuo's 100,000 troops were not exaggerated, most of the newly recruited soldiers from refugees had no combat effectiveness and were actually used as civilians and cannon fodder.
There are 60,000 or 70,000 of this type of soldiers in his unit. Liu Liangzhao was to let these "new soldiers" act as civil servants first and transport food and grass south.
When encountering difficult troops or need to siege the city, let these "new soldiers" be used as consumables.
This will not only reduce the damage to the elite soldiers under his command, but also the soldiers who dare to fight, but wait for the "new soldiers" to consume a few times, and those who can survive will naturally become soldiers who dare to fight, and even avoid the process of training.
Liu Liangzuo's 100,000 troops all the way to the front of Luzhou Prefecture City, felt like he was in a state of no one. In fact, he did not encounter many people, and the people in the countryside made all the soldiers under his command harm him.
The officials in the county towns I encountered either fled in sight or surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and were almost unresisted.
In this case, the Liu brothers are inevitably a little careless.
Therefore, when attacking Hefei, Luzhou Prefecture City, Ma Degong, who deliberately concealed his troops, garrisoned here, Qiu Yue severed a wave of troops, and was bleeding from his head.
