Volume 4: Sword Qi Struggle Chapter 5: Nanjing Incident (IĄŻm not sure, I just called, and IĄŻm still rushing. DonĄŻt rush to subscribe now, I will change it after the code is finished)
Chapter 4 Recommendations to the Privy Council The Wala army was defeated by Wang Shi and fled to the desert. The capital gradually returned to its former prosperity. The large and small alleys in the capital have returned to the bustle of the past. It seems that except in teahouses and restaurants, the elders of the Forty-Nine City are clamoring for the storytellers to stop telling the story of "The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" that they have heard too much, and instead tell "The Emperor's Establishment Killed the Loyalty" and "Fang Xiangguo Holds the Sky with His Hands" "Other than that, everything is no different from before. This is still the prosperous capital of the Ming Dynasty, the holy land of the Celestial Dynasty in the eyes of overseas vassals. But only those who are attentive or well-connected can discover that the rich and powerful children who used to be well-dressed and angry in the capital have now disappeared. More and more senior officials of the imperial court began to ride in sedan chairs instead of riding horses as before. Fang Buli was also aware of all this, but he didn't take it to heart. Because the vast history has given him an excellent solution. After this method is implemented, military generals will no longer dare to be domineering and self-proclaimed, and the court will not be without generals. "Reopening the Privy Council? Prime Minister, are you kidding me!" In the solemn Fengtian Hall, there were the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, the Six Ministers, the newly appointed Governor of the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion, the Minister of Dali Temple, the Governor The top officials in the Ming Dynasty's bureaucratic group, including the Censor of Zuodu of the Chaoyuan and the Chief of General Affairs, sat in the palace to discuss matters. Yes, you read that right, they are all sitting. This is probably one of the few privileges that Fang Buli has obtained for senior officials. From now on, important ministers at the imperial court's level can sit and discuss government affairs when they meet with His Majesty the Emperor or in non-court meetings and other formal occasions. The man who lost his manners in Fengtian Hall was Kuang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War. You can't blame him for forgetting the occasion and his identity. But Fang Buli's behavior was really unexpected, and this unexpected effect directly touched the power of the Ministry of War. Previously, after Fang Buli returned to the court, although he also carried out drastic reforms, he only split the household department into three departments: Duzhi, Salt and Iron, and Civil Affairs, and established three departments. For the other five departments, although there have been some changes, they are only minor repairs. There has never been any talk of changing the system, let alone touching the power of the Shangshu Department. However, today, right now, Kuang Ye would rather Fang Buli reform and restructure the other five departments, and would rather he take over power. Because at the very least this is still a political dispute within the civil service group. No matter how drastic the changes are, it is just the personal behavior of Fang Buli, the unprecedented Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province. The world just thinks that Fang Xiangguo is excluding dissidents, and Fang Buli has accumulated it for twenty years. Prestige will be chipped away bit by bit. From then on, in the eyes of the world, Fang Buli was just a powerful minister, not a saint. If God bless the Ming Dynasty later and send down a holy king, he will definitely be able to correct the evil and eliminate the evil atmosphere. But Kuang Ye didnĄŻt expect it, nor did senior officials at the ministry level such as Wang Zhi and Hu Ying, or even the governors of the Fifth Army GovernorĄŻs Mansion. Fang Buli actually wants to start anew, bypass the old system and create a new system. This is not a groundbreaking move, but it is also a treason. Throughout the ages, no minister who cares about life has dared to do this like Fang Buli. Maybe there is one, that person is called Wang Mang. Everyone here is a little excited, especially the governors of the Fifth Army Commandery. Except for Shi Heng, who was training the border troops in Datong, the other four of the five governors were all here. But even the most supportive one, Xue Jian, the governor of the Youjun Dudu Mansion, who was related by marriage to Fang Buli, remained silent and did not dare to speak out in support of Fang Buli's proposal. Because what Fang Buli wants to do is to remove the Fifth Army Governor's Office and set up three separate yamen, namely the Palace Front Division, the Guards' Pro-Army Infantry Division, and the Guards' Pro-Army and Horse Army Division to command the world's troops. Some people may think that it doesn't matter, it's just a name change, and doesn't the power still remain the same as the previous Five Army Governor's Mansion? If you really think so, you are wrong. Although the Five Military Governor's Office also commands the world's troops, it is based on the guard system. The country is divided into five major governor's offices, and each governor's office sets up a governor to oversee several provinces. military affairs. "But the Sansi Yamen is consistent. If it really follows Fang Buli's footsteps, thousands of guard posts in the Ming Dynasty will cease to exist from now on, and Emperor Taizu's plan of integrating troops into agriculture will also fall apart overnight. From then on, the army of the Ming Dynasty changed from a guard army that lived with the country to a recruiting army that used money to do things. In other words, whoever gets money from now on can command thousands of Qiu Baye. And whose hands are the treasury today? It is self-evident that one will gain in the end. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You can get over it by pinching your nose, anyway, what is being invaded is the authority of the five governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and it has nothing to do with the affairs of the Ministry of War. Nowadays, mature civil servants no longer attach great importance to the ownership of surnames in the world. It's just that the five virtues are always there, and the destiny belongs to them. ????????????????? However, the Privy Council must be set up to take charge of military and state affairs, military defense, border preparations, and military and horse orders. Let's just set it up. Anyway, Fang Buli agreed to let Kuang Ye be the Grand Privy Councilor. This is a high-ranking official at the same level as Zhongshu Chengcheng. When an official reaches this level, he just wants to?Famous. But the most damaging thing for Fang Buli was that the Ming Dynasty's official system was changed to officials, positions, and dispatches. This time, although Kuang Ye was promoted to the Privy Council Master, the dispatch was an unknown knowledge. In response to Tianfu affairs. The person who knew about the affairs of the Privy Council was the Minister of War, Yu Qian, who had previously urged Fang Buli to return to the capital. This made several ministers very angry. At the beginning, Fang Buli used his supreme achievements to forcibly change the official system of the Ming Dynasty. Several ministries did not dare to object, and they set up countless back-up countermeasures in fear. There had been no movement for so long, and several members of the department had relaxed their guard. They were just about to put their hearts back in their stomachs, but when all the back-up tactics had failed, Fang Bulika saw the opportunity. But now, what can be done? Everyone could only watch helplessly as Fang Buli followed one another, one after another, enriching the New Party and cheating himself. Everyone smiled bitterly in their hearts: "Does Fang Buli still have rash ambitions? After this incident, Fang Buli will be the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty Zhongshu Province, secretly, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Maybe the next step is to add Jiuxi , the next step is to abdicate. "While there was silence in Fengtian Hall, a postman, riding a fast horse, rushed into Xizhimen with an urgent document. "It's urgent in Shanxi! Get out of the way! It's urgent in Shanxi!" This postman didn't care about any taboos or the laws of the court, let alone the chaos in the stalls in front. Because something big happened in Shanxi! Chapter 5: The Fengtian Palace has now become a vegetable market. The Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province and the Six Ministers and Nine Ministers are like vendors selling vegetables in the market. You come and go. Several governors sit aside and say nothing, seriously mocking And helpless, but it has explained everything. The era of noble military ministers has completely become history. Although Xue Jian and Shi Heng are still serving as governors in the Five Army Commandery Mansion, their two single trees, no matter how big they are, can be chopped into firewood. How many days will the fever last? No matter how majestic they are now, one by one inherits the title of Marquis of Yangwu, what can they do? When Emperor Taizongwen raised troops in Peiping, the majestic Fengtian Jingnan soldiers who went south to Jingnan either died on the battlefields of the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, or were killed in Tumubao with Emperor Daxing. Grand Master Wala took a spoonful of the stew. "The younger generation, Fei Ying lackeys, Qin Lou Chu Guan are very good at it, but there are not many who can take the lead, and most of those who are capable are trapped in Tumu Fort. Xue Jian could not support himself alone, not to mention that he was a commoner among commoners. After inheriting the title of Marquis of Yangwu, several legitimate sons and grandsons never stopped questioning him. It was just because of the majesty of Fang Buli, Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, that no one dared to bring it up in person, as long as Xue Jian made a little mistake or Fang Buli made a little mistake. Then, Xue Jian's career as a marquis should come to an end. Just when several big guys in the civil service group were about to stage another full-scale martial arts show in Fengtian Hall, the urgent report from Shanxi finally arrived. The dispute between the big guys came to an abrupt end, with both sides thinking the other had won. But who really won? *** Not to mention the intrigues in the court, something big happened again at the Water Transport Yamen in Jining, Shandong Province. Zhao Zhi, the Governor of Water Transport, intercepted a sealed urgent report from Nanjing. Although these reports were all stamped as urgent, according to imperial regulations, no one was allowed to stop them and they could only be opened by the Ministry of War. But Zhao Zhi still intercepted him because he was a Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen, or the thirty-third year of Hongwu. "Budang, you are playing with fire. Can a group of pirates really achieve anything big? The Nanjing garrison is not a straw bag." In a spacious lobby, an incredibly resolute man sat on a chair. like a statue. If you know anyone, you will know that this person is the prefect of Jining Prefecture, Li Yang. "I know." Zhao Zhi stood at the door with his hands behind his back. (To be continued.)
