A bold move

"You must all know that a large number of officials are trying to force the palace!"

Zhu Houzhao was the first to speak. Although his tone was calm, it made the officials shudder.

A major purge that rivals or even surpasses the Hu Weiyong case is about to begin.

The entire civil servant group has been taken down. The number of people involved and the breadth of people involved in the case are simply terrifying. A major earthquake is about to occur in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and a new political structure is about to begin.

"Forcing the palace to commit crimes is a heinous crime. I believe that it should be dealt with severely."

The great scholar Mao Ji said seriously.

"I second the proposal!"

Others also expressed that they must be severely punished. They and the civil servant group are already political enemies. It would be strange if they didn't add insult to injury at this time!

"All officials who participated in forcing the palace, as well as their families and relatives, were all sent to Liaodong."

Zhu Houzhao adhered to his consistent "benevolent" style. He did not kill any of the civil servants, but threw them all to open up wasteland and cultivate land. When there was no use value, it was not too late to send the civil servants to relief.

It was also unlucky to meet such a ruthless and unscrupulous master like Zhu Houzhao, otherwise the civil service group might still have been prosperous for decades.

The emperor wanted to improve the status of his generals.

Hong Zhong was proficient in martial arts and skilled in military tactics. Zhu Houzhao intended to let him enter the military system. However, the reorganization of the Fifth Army Governor's Office has not yet been completed, so he can only be allowed to serve in the Ministry of Punishment first.

It is satisfying to wipe out all the civil servant groups, but the subsequent impact will be really great. The power of the civil servant groups is spread across all departments of the court. If the vacant official positions are not filled quickly, the court may be paralyzed in a short time.

!

The British Duke Zhang Mao sighed deeply. The abolition of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion meant that the last remaining glory of these honorable men would also dissipate. As the family of the first contributors to Jingnan, he sincerely felt sorry for them.

Yang Tinghe, who was in the southwest, was awarded the title of Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian.

Zhu Houzhao made the final decision: "The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army was reorganized into the Military Department, and the British Duke Zhang Mao was appointed to take charge of the Military Department. He specially named the head of the Military Department and gave him a first-grade official title."

Wang Yangming will not form cliques, Zhu Houzhao is very sure of this. Wang Yangming's ideological pattern, which is almost comparable to that of a saint, has long been beyond the scope of interests. But when a person stands at a certain height, many people

There are many things that people cannot control themselves.

Fei Hong, the bachelor of Wuyingdian Palace, Wang Hao, the bachelor of Wenyuange Palace, Mao Ji, the bachelor of Dongge Palace, Jiang Mian, the bachelor of Jinshen Palace, and Liu Zhong, the bachelor of Guanglu Palace.

Except for some changes in the cabinet and the six ministries, there are almost no changes.

After the battle of Tumubao, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion was nothing more than a decoration. Most of the military attachés who served in it were nothing more than wine bags, rice bags, straw bags, and useless.

After so many years of accumulation, any civil servant will subconsciously believe that civil servants are more noble than generals. It is natural and right that the Six Ministries are superior to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Yang Yiqing, who suppressed local clan rebellions in various places, was promoted from Wenyuan Pavilion Bachelor to Second Assistant to the Cabinet.

Suddenly, the Fifth Army Governor's Office was changed into the Military Headquarters, and it had to be independent from the Six Ministries and not affected by the Six Ministries. Even if the officials present were all from Zhu Houzhao's lineage, it was hard to accept it for a while.

A long time ago, Zhu Houzhao wanted to abolish the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, but because he was still young at the time and was afraid of being "easily soluble in water", he refrained from attacking the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

The ministers looked at each other in confusion, intending to stop him, but did not dare to speak for fear of offending Zhu Houzhao.

This is their only thought, and it is also an indisputable fact!

Although the civil service group is finished, most of the people standing here are not civil servants. In a few years, they will be the new civil service group. For their own interests, even if they trust Wang Yangming again, Zhu Houzhao must improve the status of military attachés.

It is used to check and balance the excessive power of the civil servants under their command.

His Zhang family is the home of military generals, and he can also perform meritorious service for the country by killing enemies and rebuilding the prestige of the military generals of the Ming Dynasty.

But I feel extremely happy that the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion has come to an end and a new military headquarters has emerged, which means that the spring of military attaches is coming, and the era of civil superiors and military inferiors is over!

Liu Yu was promoted from the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

And this is also the reason why many emperors hate the civil service group, but dare not touch them easily. There are people all over the court, and the court cannot function without them!

"I intend to divide the new military department into three divisions. The military and political department is mainly responsible for the payment of military salaries to soldiers and generals, as well as dealing with some placement issues for military families."

After some adjustments, Wang Yangming was promoted to chief minister of the cabinet when Li Dongyang resigned.

They had no objection to the reorganization of the Fifth Army Governor's Office into the Military Headquarters, but it was just that the Fifth Army Governor's Office was independent of the Sixth Army, which made them unacceptable!

The Governor's Office of the Fifth Army was the core of the military attache system of the Ming Dynasty. After the battle of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty's nobles were in a state of decline. It was difficult for military generals to stand up again. It was almost an established unspoken rule that the status of civilian officials was higher than that of military attachés.

"well"

Li Yuze, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is old and cannot find a suitable person to take charge of the Ministry of Industry, so he can only be allowed to do it first.

Wang Yangming's heart was churning. Zhu Houzhao had given him the power to promote and appoint officials. How could he not be moved by such unconditional trust?

Then the redistribution and adjustment of official positions began.

Zhu Houzhao told Wang Yangming.

Li Yu is in charge of the engineering department

Liang Chu, the official of Guanglu, was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel.

Wang Zuozhang household department

A balance between civil and military forces is the way to long-term peace and stability.

"Wang Qing, you should worry more about the vacant officials. You should promote and appoint them from among the vacant Hanlin bachelors in the Hanlin Academy. You must get all the ministries of the imperial court back into operation in the shortest possible time."

“Since none of you have any objections, it’s decided like this!”

Wang Qiong is in charge of the Ministry of War

"Abolish the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army and change it to the Military Headquarters. All military deployments, officer appointments, and military salary expenditures will be taken out of the Military Headquarters. From now on, they will be independent of the six ministries and belong directly to me."

He couldn't help but praise his "kindness and loyalty". Throughout the ages, the best outcome for officials who participated in forced palace rebellions was to have their entire family executed. In serious cases, the nine tribes may be exterminated.

Move yourself for a second!

It is rare to see an emperor like him who never kills anyone and puts benevolence first. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Renzong of the Song Dynasty who are famous for their "benevolence" are far behind her.

Hong Zhong is in charge of the Punishment Department

Now that the Jiangnan gentry, the civil servant group, the vassal group, and the noble group can no longer pose a threat to him, there is no need for the existence of the Fifth Army Governor's Office!

"this"

In order to prevent the emergence of another civilian group, it is imperative to improve the status of military generals. What's more, many of Zhu Houzhao's future plans are inseparable from the efforts of military generals.

Zhu Houzhao announced to the ministers his first major move after defeating the civil servant group in an extremely strong tone.

"My lord, I will live up to the divine grace!"

"The Military War Department consists of the three major battalions, the Nine Sides and other main battle armies."

"Military Law Department, if there are no rules, there will be no rule. The army should also have certain rules to ensure the interests of the soldiers."

Having said this, he glanced at the generals headed by the British Duke and said meaningfully: "I heard that there are often generals in the army who take advantage of their status to take advantage of their status and usurp the soldiers' dues.

, and even killed soldiers at will."

"This Military Justice Department is prepared for those scum in the military who like to take advantage of free money and harm the interests of soldiers."
