"Yuan Fu, you said that Your Majesty summoned us and the ministers of the General Office of the General Office have called out. What is the so-called thing?"

Cheng Jiming frowned slightly, walked side by side with Han Yu, and whispered: "In the past few days, Your Majesty has frequently summoned ministers in the court and will go to the Military Affairs Office from time to time.

On the contrary, there are very few people coming to Wenhua Palace to manage government affairs. Is the emperor really giving power to the cabinet?"

"For what, I don't know."

Han Du said as he walked, "But the matter of delegating power seems to be true. In the past few days, all the tickets I made in the cabinet and the Silijian have been awarded.

Think about what Wen Tiren said, you can guess in your heart, that is, the emperor wants to use Wen Tiren's mouth to speak out what he wants in his heart."

“…”

Cheng Jiming was silent. The situation in the country and the country seemed to be stable in these days, but it was surging. Especially the responsibility system and accountability system were implemented in the cabinet. Although they were tied to shackles, their status was stable.

It's right.

Even if the censors and censors in Kedao are calm and peaceful, no matter how big the news occurs in the country, as long as it is not done wrong and causing chaos in the court, the cabinet ministers involved do not need to submit memorials.

Quotation.

In a sense, the emperor strengthened the authority of the cabinet.

"Old Master Bi Ge, I want to discuss some things with you about the warehouse market. There may be some conflicts with the matter you have decided."

"Gemaster Xu, what are the specific issues involved? The Ministry of Revenue has many things to do, if it involves..."

On the way to the Qianqing Palace, Bi Ziyan, Xu Guangqi, the cabinet ministers, Wang Qia, and Zhou Yanru, the military ministers, gathered together in groups of three or five and headed towards the East Warm Pavilion.

Everyone was not sure about the temporary summons of the emperor, what was the purpose of.

But everyone knew that the emperor must have something big, and he had to discuss it with them, otherwise such a thing would never happen.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen did have a major event, which was to discuss with the cabinet and the Military Affairs Office and promote this matter.

"I'll pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"No gift."

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon throne, looking at the cabinets in front of him and the Minister of Military Affairs Office, with a calm expression and thinking in his heart how to explain it.

"Recently, with the joint efforts of the ministers, the situation in the country has become increasingly stable."

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "I have specially summoned all the ministers here today. There is something I want to discuss with you, and it is related to Liaodong."

“…”

Han Du, Wang Qia and others heard this, and showed different expressions, and they were all wondering what the emperor said specifically involved.

After all, before this, the emperor had stated that the matter of suppressing rebellion would be subject to the general management of the Military Affairs Office in the future. When will there be no rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, then the matter of the Military Affairs Office abolishment will be discussed again.

"Now Sun Qing goes to the capital of Liaodong, Lu Qing takes office as the governor of Ji Liao, Yuan Qing takes office as the governor of Shandong, and Sun Yuanhua takes office as the governor of Denglai."

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The layout around Liaodong has been clear, but I think there are still some problems in Tianjin.

Tianjin is the thoroughfare of Northern Zhili, and is an important part of the canal transportation and an important part of the stability of Northern Zhili.

But at the same time, Tianjin is also an important part of the state's suppression of rebellions and construction of the enemy. If necessary, the troops of the three guards of Tianjin need to cross the sea on a boat and rush to Liao for assistance.

However, after reading the memorials in recent years and the various manifestations of Tianjin, I found that the positioning of the State dynasty on Tianjin was put before the horse.

The power is chaotic, and the weight is one end and the other is less important. In some emergencies, there is still a situation where you don’t know who to listen to, which is very bad.”

Han Du, Wang Qia, the other cabinets and ministers of the Military Affairs Department took a look at each other, and they understood that the emperor was planning to attack Tianjin.

But they don't know exactly how to start.

Are you going to replace the governor of Tianjin?

Or replace the general officer of Tianjin?

Or change the Tianjin military preparations?

As for the permanent Tianjin Three Guards, there is no scope they have considered.

"I'll just say it clearly."

Seeing that everyone showed different expressions, but none of them spoke, Emperor Chongzhen stood up and walked towards South Korea and the others, with a serious expression: "Tianjin is a very important place. It is very important to assist Liaoning to quell the rebellion.

, but it is also important to strengthen local governance.

Especially Tianjin is an important part of the canal transportation.

If there is a problem with the canal transportation, it will affect the entire Northern Zhili, and it will even indirectly affect the Liao front.

This is very unfavorable for the state.

Therefore, I plan to abolish the guards and establish the prefectures in Tianjin, and establish the Zhili Prefectures in Tianjin. In addition to the three guards in Tianjin, all counties from Wuqing County to Nanpi County will be assigned to the jurisdiction of Zhili Prefectures in Tianjin.

At the same time, the governor of Tianjin, the general officer of Tianjin, and the soldiers in Tianjin were abolished.

He holds the position of general in Tianjin and specializes in military affairs. What do you think of me?"

"Your Majesty, no!"

When Cheng Jiming heard this, he stepped forward and bowed, "There is a special Tianjin Zhili Prefecture and a permanent Tianjin General is a permanent Tianjin General. This is without precedent in our dynasty.

If we really do this, we don’t know what kind of movement the three guards in Tianjin will cause. If a camp roars and eventually turns into a mutiny, it will have a significant impact on the peace and peace of the canal transportation.

Besides, the governor of Tianjin..."

"Cheng Qing, can't you change some novel rhetoric?"

Emperor Chongzhen interrupted: "I made such a decision because of the peace and stability of the canal transportation. Let's see what Tianjin is like now.

There is no excellence in the local area, and the garrison and the army can be said to be unbearable!

If the state ignores such an important place, then let it continue like this, no matter which problem occurs, it will cause a disaster!"

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen wanted to set up a Tianjin Zhili Prefecture and permanently set up a general was to capture Tianjin, appoint good ministers and loyal generals, and go to Tianjin.

On the one hand, we will manage the basic foundation, on the other hand, we will prepare for the subsequent opening of the sea, and on the other hand, we will improve the transportation of the canal and peace of Liao.

Tianjin is too important and must be given heavier responsibilities and burdens in order to complete the subsequent plans.

The inner court is changing a lot at the moment and is busy doing various things.

That corresponds to it.

The outer court cannot be calm all the time. It often makes trouble for some things to attack the civil servants, which has various benefits for defending the imperial power and managing the basic foundation.

"I have decided!"

Looking at the people in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "The position of governor of Zhili Prefecture in Tianjin will be taken over by Chen Yansheng of Shuntian Prefecture, and the cabinet will issue an imperial edict.

The position of general in Tianjin was taken over by Li Mingzhong, and the Military Affairs Office issued an edict.
