Several ministers entered the palace that night.

The first is Wang Yongguang, the Minister of Personnel. He must handle the official registration of the vacant officials before dawn tomorrow, and add all the vacant officials in the first month of the following year.

This is really a very difficult task, but under the pressure of the emperor, the Ministry of Personnel had to work overtime overnight tonight.

Judging from this point of view alone, Zhang Chen is definitely a hateful boss.

The second minister is of course the chief minister Zhou Yanru.

But no one knew what the emperor and Zhou Yanru said. A eunuch saw that Zhou Ge Lao came out of the Ganqing Palace and walked for a long time before he kept sighing.

After Zhou Yanru, Sun Chengzong, Li Banghua, Wang Qia, the Minister of War, Wei Zhongyun, the Left Assistant of the Ministry of War, Guo Gong, the Right Assistant of the Ministry of War, as well as British Duke Zhang Weixian and Cao Yubian.

This was an important conversation, and the eunuchs outside the Ganqing palace could hear the emperor's furious voice.

Everyone knelt on the ground, buried their heads between their long sleeves, trembling, and did not even dare to breathe harder.

Then, the eunuchs heard a man begging for mercy.

Afterwards, Guo Gong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was dragged out of the Ganqing Palace by the Han general.

It seemed like a long time before the conversation ended.

But in fact, the real event of this conversation was only a quarter of an hour.

The Minister of War Wang Qiao and the Left Minister of War Wei Zhongyun were scolded to death.

After scolding these two War bosses, he immediately scolded Cao Yubian again.

Everyone left with a heavy heart.

The moment they stepped out of the Ganqing Palace, the center of power in the Ming Dynasty was slowly shifting.

The scandal of the Ministry of War embezzlement of military rations and military pay was exposed, and a minister of the Ministry of War was imprisoned and tried by the Three Courts.

This will surely be something that shocked the government and the public, and it will also fundamentally shake the prestige of the Ministry of War.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor took two moves.

1. All the original Jing camps were merged into the new army, namely the Jing Guards, and the Jing Guards' military and political affairs belonged to the Privy Council.

2. The Military Governor's Office has the Supervisory Military and Political Yuan, and has the responsibilities and powers of the Supervisory Military Department.

The first point is actually to further reduce the influence of the nobles and expand the influence of the Privy Council.

The second point is to include the Ministry of War in the scope of supervision of the new military and political affairs.

In the past, the Ministry of War was supervised by the Censorate and supervised by the Military Department of the Six Censories, but in fact, the Six Censories had collapsed, and the Censories had too much supervision power.

Too much power will lead to too heavy responsibilities and too high risks when there is a problem.

For example, now ordinary officials are supervising the Censorate, and military and political officials are also supervising the Censorate.

Once there is a problem with the military and political affairs? The emperor looked for Cao Yubian? He said that he was ineffective in supervision.

Substitution?

If the replacement of the person will affect the supervision of administrative officials, because Cao Yubian is also responsible for the supervision of administrative officials.

This is the risk brought by power mixing?

If the military and political supervision power is separated? Once there is corruption in the military and political affairs, the emperor will look for people who are corruption in the military and political affairs? And punish officials in the military and political supervision system, so that it will not affect officials in the administrative supervision system.

This is why the power of officials in the 21st century is divided very carefully? Because this way the responsibilities will be clearer? The losses caused by the removal of officials are also the lowest.

This operation is equivalent to letting the new faction supervise the Ministry of War? Hanging a sword over the head of the Ministry of War.

This also completely planned the conflict between the two sides.

Perhaps, the contradiction has just begun.

And all this is what the emperor is happy to see.

The snow is still falling quietly, and tonight, many officials can't sleep.

The next day? Early in the morning, the wind and snow did not stop? There were some old white beards and some young officials? They arrived at the gate of the palace early in the morning and asked to meet the saint.

Who are they?

Officials from the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College.

Ni Yuanlu, editor of Hanlin Academy? Liu Zhilun, scholar of Shuji, Jin Sheng? Xiang Yu, prosecutor of the prosecutor, edited Huang Daozhou, lecturer Wang Duo and other officials.

The Imperial College Priest, Kong Zhenyun (the 62nd generation descendant of Confucius), the Siye Ni Jiashan, and there were 5 doctors in the Five Classics, and 10 people were studying and recording.

What are they here for?

Of course, I came to preach to the emperor.

What is the saying?

Holy Way!

Emperor, were you crazy last night?

Didn't take medicine?

Are you a tyrant?

Have you forgotten that our Ming Dynasty ruled the country with the holy way?

How could the wise king of the Holy Dao kill people like this?

Are you afraid of disasters coming from heaven and destroying our Ming Dynasty?

You are now governing the world with the scholars and officials. You have killed everyone, who will govern the country loyally for you?

Look at the Song Dynasty, how great it is!

Of course, the Imperial College was the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty and the official Imperial College. Many tribute students studied and belonged to the highest education department.

The Imperial College has certain qualities of a state-controlled prison.

Because it represents Confucianism and the study of the holy way, it can impeach officials and even national affairs in the name of the holy way.

Although this attribute has not been very obvious since the Song Dynasty, they have the right to speak in education.

Of course, they were stopped when they entered the palace early in the morning.

The emperor said, "I am in good health and no one will see me."

I am such a man!

The officials of the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College were defeated, so of course they would not go back like this. Instead, they knelt there and said to Wang Chengen: "If the king's official, if your majesty does not see us, we will feel that this body cannot repay the country's kindness. Please forgive us for resigning and retirement."

Wang Chengen hurriedly reported their original words.

Then what did the emperor say after hearing this?

The emperor said this: "It is okay to resign. Recently, someone impeached the Imperial College and the Hanlin Academy to take bribes, and asked the Censorate to file a case for investigation. One by one, and if there is no problem after the investigation, you can go back to your hometown."

Wang Chengen quickly told the emperor's words to those people without saying a word.

"King Zhongguan, we suddenly felt unwell and reported it. Let's go back to rest first."

Wang Chengen looked at these old peddlers and elementary schoolmen and quickly turned around and left, even trotting away. Another person slid to the point of falling, but got up and ran away.

"Your Majesty's words are really useful."

In the afternoon, Cao Huachun gave a report to Chongzhen.

The stolen money was recovered, and the rest was still being recovered.

Hearing this number, Chongzhen felt a little relieved.

A start-up capital is needed to make efforts for the subsequent new policies, and it seems that it is still good to use the imperial family.

However, killing people and chasing the house quickly makes money, but it is not a long-term solution.

We still need to develop the court's own industries.

After Cao Huachun finished reporting, Chongzhen met Xu Guangqi, Tang Ruowang and Bi Ziyan.

Xu Guangqi reported all the matters of the Ming Dynasty Manufacturing Bureau and submitted the report to the emperor.

At present, the industrial lines for daily necessities such as soap, shampoo, toilet paper, and perfume have been opened.

This year, nearly 30,000 people were withdrawn from the palace and entered the Ming Dynasty Manufacturing Bureau.

Some plant raw materials, some cut down trees, some transport them, and some do processing.

You have to admit that Xu Guangqi is really a practical person. All these things have been handled in an orderly manner in a year.

And all of this will break out once in the fourth year of Chongzhen!

Just as the end of the year was approaching, Chongzhen received a military newspaper from outside the Great Wall, which was sent by Li Ping.
Chapter completed!
