Chapter 587: Disarmament (Part 2)

On the first day of November, the day of the monthly grand ceremony that has been set for decades.

This was also the first major dynasty meeting held after Beijing was designated as the capital, but the civil and military officials who came to Fengtian Palace were all leisurely and contented and relaxed.

So what will happen to the great dynasty? I still can’t see the emperor.

Everyone thought about it. I have seen the emperor a lot in recent years, but I have not seen many occasions in the grand dynasty meetings. They are all kinds of other occasions, even in Nanjing, various sports competitions and cultural and entertainment activities.

In view of this, the ministers did not think that they could meet Zhu Yunwen in Fengtian Palace.

It was just a walk around and then directly switch to Wenhua Palace for a meeting.

But before everyone could stand still, the music class on both sides suddenly rang out of the musical class, and a little eunuch walked out of the side hall and shouted.

"The Holy Driving Arrives".

The emperor is coming!

The officials who had their own worries were shocked and stood up quickly and bowed to sing together.

"Long live my emperor."

Some Beijing officials with low qualities were even more excited.

"Let's go flat."

Wearing a thick cotton jacket, Zhu Yunwen's nasal sound was a little heavy, and he caught a cold.

I have been in the south for decades, and as soon as I come to the north, I will inevitably be a little unacceptable. Beijing is really much colder than Nanjing.

I was careless for a moment, and I stayed up all night these days and caught a cold.

"If you have a book to start, you will leave the class without a book to stop."

Shuangxi sang a sentence, his voice was weak and he was mostly dealing with it, especially when he finally left the class and bit the stress. It means that today's court meeting was just a formality.

The ministers looked at each other and realized that there seemed to be nothing to start?

After so many years, everyone has been integrated into the current efficient political operation system, and there is almost no major event that needs to be reported directly to the emperor Zhu Yunwen through the cabinet.

What else can’t be handled well in the ministry, department, government affairs, and government affairs?

Just the ministers in Fengtian Palace are now, I dare not say that they will make the rules from top to bottom perfectly. It is okay to just say that one is orderly and not panic.

So Shuangxi's familiar words that he hadn't heard for a long time really caught everyone off guard.

Or take a few items and report them to the emperor, and make a move?

Just as the ministers scratched their ears and wondered whether to tell the emperor two stories, Xu Buji stood up.

For no reason at this moment, the officials suddenly felt panic.

Including four cabinet ministers except Xu Buji.

"I have a memorial."

"It's Master Xu Ge." Zhu Yunwen was not in good spirits and was sickly tired. Even Xu Buji stood up and answered in a faint way: "If you have something, just look at it and make the decision."

It depends on his status!

All officials' envy of Xu Buji is so sad that it is so sad that it is so painful that it is worth it if you are a minister in this life.

By the way, if you can live for two years, you will die. It's worth it.

Xu Buji was very nervous about Zhu Yunwen's trust, and his waist lowered: "I am afraid that this matter is very important and dare not make arbitrarily. I specially requested Your Majesty to make a judgment."

Zhu Yunwen didn't say anything, Shuangxi, who was beside him, spoke with a little reproach.

"What's the story about Mr. Xu? The emperor was infected with a cold a few days ago. The imperial doctor told me not to work hard and to take care of the holy court. Now Japan does not want to attend court. It is not the first major tribute meeting that has just moved the capital. I have just come here. Mr. Gong should not delay it."

Everyone said that you have no foundation to retire, why are you so many things?

Everyone wanted to see Xu Buji's joke, and they all secretly glanced at the latter.

Xu Buji also had a little panic on his face and responded: "A few days ago, I reviewed some of the subsidiaries of the Ming League and the Ministry of Revenue, and found that the expenses of the Five Military Offices were quite huge, mainly concentrated on the annual salary and public expenses of officials. There were ten left and right governors of the Five Military Offices with the first rank, and more than thirty or forty people were in charge of the second rank, deputy, assistant, local military affairs and public affairs.

Especially in recent years, the so-called elimination of bandits and thieves have been frequently carried out, and the crackdown on gangs and evil forces have been frequently mobilized to carry out large-scale mobilization operations, which has consumed a lot of money, food and fodder, and the public expenses have been huge, reaching nearly 10 billion yuan.

According to the report of the Ministry of Justice, the security of our country in the Ming Dynasty is now in full swing. Although we don’t say that we don’t pick up the road and don’t close the door at night, there are very few rogues and rural bandits. There are occasionally fish that miss the net. Why do we need to mobilize thousands of people to encircle and arrest them?

Therefore, I urged to eliminate some of the overlying officials of the Five Military Offices and rectify local military affairs and their command system. If the provinces need to allocate local troops to cooperate in the fight against bandits, local provinces can coordinate the planning according to actual conditions and jointly handle cases with local inspectors, and save a considerable amount of public expenses."

The whole court suddenly became in an uproar.

Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong, the first in the military officer train, widened their eyes in an instant, turned their heads to look at Xu Buji, and their eyes were full of shock.

And this horror quickly turned into anger.

When did we offend you?

We are both the first-class masters, and we are still the Duke of the State. When we see you Xu Buji, we can avoid you as far as you can. If we can't avoid it, we will be cautious and polite.

Why do you keep your heart holding on to our only little power?

"I don't agree."

After only a moment of shock, Li Jinglong took a step forward and screamed at the top of his voice, which scared Zhu Yunwen, and his eyes stood on the side.

"Grandpa, please be quiet, the emperor is still ill."

This scared Li Jinglong and was helpless and didn't know how to avenge the crime. He was also anxious. He simply knelt on the ground with a thud: "I am guilty, but Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to ask the court. How can I make the military affairs committee in local provinces? Isn't the local military and political coordination all become the old Tang Dynasty's military governor? This is unstable to the country and has no benefit to the country."

He was not completely stupid. His excuse was based on the affairs of the country, so he first pulled out a big banner.

"What Duke Cao said is not without reason."

On the golden chair, Zhu Yunwen was a little tired. He didn't even go to see Li Jinglong and Xu Buji while talking, and lowered his eyes.

"If the Military Affairs Commission is in the local area, wouldn't it be the power of a great military governor? Such actions are not conducive to stabilizing the country."

"There is only useful, but it will inevitably come from the matter."

Regarding Zhu Yunwen's concerns, Xu Buji made his own remarks: "Generally, the inspection department has a constable and accused officer, so it is enough to maintain local public security. Local troops cannot be mobilized without authorization.

If a certain organization has been issued with a certain weapon to carry out serious crimes, seriously undermining local public security and local constables are unable to contain it, it can only be transferred, and the number of people will be regulated.

If there is a disaster and the need to dispatch troops to rescue the disaster, it is urgent and cannot be put aside. If the people gather to make a fortune and make a business, they will be difficult to resolve and the conflicts will be established. If such a matter has touched the foundation of the country, they must first be invited to the imperial court.

Such an arrangement can prevent the local people from being ambitious."

Whether the local military command system and the elimination of the Five Military Offices will make the local government bigger is not a problem.

If the provinces are involved in the mobilization power of some local troops, can they easily rebel?

If rebellion is so simple, wouldn’t Ji Gang, as the commander of the Jinyiwei, directly brought his soldiers into the palace and chopped Zhu Yunwen with one knife, and then sat on Fengtian Palace and ruled the world.

"And the provinces mobilized local troops only for the sake of cooperation. The command power of local troops is still independent. He only cooperated with the provincial governing and envoy departments to carry out specific actions, not to be nameless and aimless, use whatever he wants."

Xu Buji took out a memorial: "There is a statement in this book, and each article is a red line. If there is any transfer that does not follow the rules and regulations and is shorter than the procedures, then the provincial governor will be dismissed from office and the provincial commander will be punished."

The memorial was handed over to the imperial case. Zhu Yunwen looked through it for a few times and nodded: "It is indeed written clearly."

After saying that, he looked at Li Jinglong: "Duke Cao knelt down and did something, get up quickly."

The latter did not have the heart to thank him for his gratitude in this skill. He could hear the meaning from Zhu Yunwen's tone, and he felt that the sky collapsed and the earth fell.

The emperor must not agree.

"Well, why didn't your Duke come?"

Zhu Yunwen glanced around and exclaimed: "He is the Chief of Staff of the General Staff for Military Affairs, and I still want to hear his opinions."

Yang Rong from Tongzhengsi stood up: "Your Majesty, your Duke got sick a few days ago. He said that he had been in the southwest for a long time and was not convinced by the northern waters and soil. He was safe in the mansion these days."

"Ah?" Zhu Yunwen was a little anxious: "I asked why I looked tired and happy when I saw him a few days ago, so I quickly sent the imperial doctor over there."

"yes."

After explaining this matter, Zhu Yunwen frowned: "Let's do this, this matter is indeed not small. I can't make up for the moment. Let's discuss it when your public security is well maintained, Duke Wei."

Xu Huizu stood up and responded: "I am here."

"After you and Duke Cao go to visit your Duke for me."

"Yes, I will accept the order."

—————

After saying that, Zhu Yunwen yawned, and realized the truth with both joy and immediately faced the civil and military officials in the court.

"The emperor has not been feeling well these days. I have discussed such troublesome things first and then report them. I will leave the court."

After saying that, he hurriedly helped Zhu Yunwen leave, and all the officials respectfully sent him.

Only after Zhu Yunwen's figure completely left the side hall, all the officials left Fengtian Hall with their own thoughts.

While changing boots at the threshold, Xu Huizu whispered to Li Jinglong.

"You and I will go back to the Five Military Palace to have a meeting."

At this moment, both of them felt like they were burning.
