Chapter 923 Gwangju Dong Ming
When Zhang Ran left, Zhu Yicheng continued to pick up the unfinished memorials and read them carefully. The memorials he read were transferred from the Military Affairs Office. All the incidents in various places were first handed over to the Military Affairs Office, and then waited for the Military Affairs Office to make the initial approval according to the magnitude and importance of the incident, and then handed over to Zhu Yicheng, the Da'ei to make a decision.
In fact, this operation method was found in the Ming Dynasty. This was the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty. However, the cabinet system had the right to approve, and the power to criticize the red was in the hands of the emperor, and later it was handed over to the eunuchs in the name of the Silijian. Now that the Military Affairs Office replaced the cabinet, Zhu Yicheng directly deprived the cabinet of the previous cabinet and took all the final rights into his own hands.
In other words, the Military Affairs Office is actually the emperor's secretariat, and their job is to assist state affairs as the emperor's secretary. But considering that as the Ming Dynasty grew bigger and more important tasks were increasing, Zhu Yicheng also slightly delegated some initial approval authority to reduce his burden, otherwise he would not have finished reading memorials every day.
The memorials sent are all the day, and it is absolutely impossible for the Minister of Military Affairs to intercept memorials privately. However, these memorials have been sorted out, and all important matters may be made by the emperor personally. Ordinary memorials have basically been approved. Zhu Yicheng can choose and read them according to his own wishes, or directly send them back to the Military Affairs Office for execution.
In addition to these memorials from normal channels, officials from third-rank foreign officials, including generals at the military level, also have the right to secretly write. For secretly writes, this method is learned from the Qing Dynasty. After all, the Qing Dynasty was foreign tribe who entered the Central Plains. In order to strengthen the central control of local governments, this secretly write system was established. This system was not common during the Kangxi period. It was truly implemented in history during the Yongzheng period, and the effect was extremely obvious.
In this regard, Zhu Yicheng directly used this secret comment system, and it was really good to try it out. So, in addition to normal memorials, secret comments have become a new system determined by the Ming Dynasty, which is extremely beneficial to the control of imperial power and local communication.
While reading the memorial, Zhu Yicheng picked up the red pen from time to time to draw a circle or write a few sentences on it, and then put it on the other side? Then he picked up another copy and read it again. When he was concentrating on it, time passed minute by minute, and I don’t know how long it took? Zhu Yicheng finished reading another memorial? Then he drew the circle and placed it aside, and continued to take another copy.
Looking around? After reading a few lines, Zhu Yicheng's brows frowned, and his expression became slightly solemn. Then he read it roughly? Then he looked carefully at the last military department's first comment.
When he saw that the first call from the Military Affairs Office was blank, Zhu Yicheng's expression became even more solemn. After thinking about it, he shouted to the outside.
"The Emperor..."
"Go to Xuan Liao Huanzhi, Sun Jiagan, He Xianzu and Zeng Yishu to see me!"
Xiao Jiangzi responded quickly and hurriedly headed towards the Military Affairs Office. Zhu Yicheng put the memorial aside? Then he continued to look through other memorials. After about half an hour, with the sound of footsteps, Liao Huanzhi, Sun Jiagan, He Xianzu and Zeng Yishu rushed over.
He asked Xiao Jiangzi to bring the four people into the hall. The four of them went forward to salute Zhu Yicheng. After they finished their salute, Zhu Yicheng pointed to the chair in the lower head and asked them to sit. The four of them didn't say anything. They sat down in sequence according to the seats.
Among them, Liao Huanzhi was the chief military aircraft, and although the other three were not formal military aircraft ministers? They had errands on them, plus their identity and status and Zhu Yicheng's intention to let them enter the military aircraft. In fact, everyone understands that they will be the next military aircraft minister. To put it bluntly, they are just in the "internship period" and have not officially become a regular official.
Today, Zhu Yicheng suddenly called the four of them? But he did not call him Dong Dashan, who was also the Minister of Military Affairs and Zhuang Yan, who was also walking in the Military Affairs Office. The four of them guessed that Zhu Yicheng was looking for them.
After all, although the military ministers in the Military Affairs Office have basically the same status except for rankings, each person has different focus. Dong Dashan and Zhuang Yan are both representatives of the military and naturally have a say in the military, but they lack some political affairs. Liao Huanzhi and others are all civil officials, and the main responsibility for political affairs in the Military Affairs Office is to let the four of them enter the palace. So the only thing to ask is political affairs.
Furthermore, after looking at the memorials that Zhu Yicheng had placed at hand, the four of them felt even more at ease. After all, these memorials were transferred from the Military Affairs Office. The four of them knew about the contents of the memorials. Some of the more special memorials were only transferred after discussion within the Military Affairs Office. There was a memorial in this memorial that was different from other memorials, because the memorial did not make the initial approval on the Military Affairs Office, because the Military Affairs Office had different views on the contents of the memorials and did not reach an agreement. Moreover, the events mentioned in the memorials were too large, so they did not dare to be good at it and could only transfer them directly.
"I have looked at this memorial, but there was no initial approval from the Military Affairs Office. What is this?" As expected, when everyone was thinking about whether it was because of that memorial, Zhu Yicheng spoke up, picked up the memorial that was placed aside and asked, and at the same time handed it to Xiao Jiangzi who was beside him.
Xiao Jiangzi hurriedly took it, then handed the memorial to Liao Huanzhi. Liao Huanzhi took it and looked around, then gave it to Sun Jiagan beside him. Sun Jiagan gave it to He Xianzu, and then transferred it to Zeng Yishu.
When the emperor asked, the ministers naturally had to answer. Liao Huanzhi was the chief military aircraft and immediately said, "Return to the emperor, I have read this memorial, but I have not been able to unify my opinion. Therefore, I can only pass it on to the emperor in its original form. It was not that the ministers and others deliberately neglected their affairs and did not make initial comments. I also asked the emperor to investigate it clearly."
Zhu Yicheng was not surprised by Liao Huanzhi's answer. In fact, after reading the contents of the memorial, he basically guessed the intention of the Military Affairs Office to do so. Although this memorial was a practical matter, it conflicted with the national policy set by Zhu Yicheng, and the words were quite extreme. In addition, it also involved local governance, so it was normal for the ministers of the Military Affairs Office to disagree with each other.
"What do the Military Affairs Bureau think about this matter? Lord Liao will tell me and let me listen." Zhu Yicheng asked calmly.
Liao Huanzhi seemed to have understood that Zhu Yicheng would have such a question. In fact, the person who wrote this memorial was Dong Ming, the governor of Guangzhou. This person was originally a juren during the Kangxi period, but he did not enter the official position. Until the Ming Dynasty restored the country, he won the imperial examination in Nanjing, and was ranked 24th in the third and first place in the Jinshi class, and was later awarded an official position.
After the expiration of his term as county magistrate in Zhejiang, Dong Ming was transferred to Guangzhou for his political achievements and promoted to the position of magistrate. Dong Ming was an honest official and upright person. He was very popular among local people. He had outstanding evaluations for several years, otherwise he would not have been promoted to magistrate.
Guangzhou is located in the southeast of Henan, belongs to Runing Prefecture, and has a large area of four counties, namely Guangshan County, Gushi County, Xi County and Shangcheng County. In addition, this place has always been a key area in the Central Plains and is a traditional grain-producing area. If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Dong Ming stays in Guangzhou for a few years, it is very likely that he will be competent as a prefect or be transferred to the six ministries after his term of office expires.
But this Dong Ming suddenly made such a memorial, which commented on the practice of promoting the country with business and vigorously developing science and technology formulated by the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, it pointed out that this move has harmed the local area, causing local people to destroy traditional crops in order to pursue profits and directly switch to economic plants, causing the grain production in grain-producing areas to drop sharply, leading to the rise of local grain prices. Moreover, because private workshops and factories are booming, the people gather, and there may be troubles of unstable people's hearts...
