Chapter 1223 Changes in the system
Yuan Keli's proposal was indeed of far-reaching significance, and had to make all the ministers think deeply. After Tianqi thought about it for a while, he was worried: "If the chief minister has been in power for too long, it is inevitable that powerful ministers will appear, and this must be avoided."
This is a contradiction and this is a hidden danger.
Mao Wenlong stood up and said: "In order to avoid such a dangerous phenomenon, we can strictly stipulate the conditions for the replacement of the first assistant of each term. We will no longer leave the office based on guilt or old age and need to retire. We will stipulate that each term only requires
Can serve for five years, and then the ministers will judge whether they can be re-elected? However, there are strict regulations that they can only be re-elected for three terms at most. Then, regardless of their merits and demerits, they must be dismissed and transferred to other key departments. This avoids
The danger to the powerful officials above can also allow the policy to continue smoothly. Wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?"
The emperor couldn't help but clapped his hands, and the ministers applauded. In this way, the dilemma that had always troubled the chief minister of the cabinet to become a powerful minister, and the dilemma that troubled people and government, was solved so easily.
Apocalypse issued the decree and all ministers signed it. This iron law was officially announced and implemented here, and this new policy prevailed throughout the world.
Now that there is such a rule, it must be implemented, so everyone continued to recommend, Shen Guangzuo recommended: "Yang Sichang, the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, is only 50 years old. It is a good time for him to be full of energy. Moreover, this person is fair and courageous, with a stable style of work. In addition,
He has experienced in Shanshan and Shaanxi for several years and has a profound ability to control public sentiment and government affairs, so he is an excellent candidate."
As soon as this proposal came out, everyone whispered and tried hard to weigh the pros and cons.
Tianqi also thought this was okay. Finally, Emperor Tianqi knocked on the table: "I think this candidate is good. Now is an extraordinary period. It is too late to go through the cumbersome procedures like the original selection of the first assistant."
Mao Wenlong once again jumped out and suggested: "Then everyone will vote by a show of hands. Let the minority obey the majority. Don't make this matter a scandal just because one person came out to oppose it like before. That is indeed a waste of time. Let's vote with the minority."
Obedience to the majority is fundamental, what do you think?"
Before others could say anything, Emperor Tianqi knocked on the table excitedly: "This method is good. If this method is implemented, nothing will happen in the future. You say your reason, he says his, and they argue with each other.
Until the end of the world, as long as a policy is supported by the majority of people, it can be implemented. This not only saves time, but also there is basically no possibility of going wrong if the policy is supported by the majority. I propose that it be implemented in this way in the future.
Dear friends, do you have anything to say? If you agree, everyone will vote by a show of hands. The minority will obey the majority and we will start now."
This is really learning and selling now, it came quickly, everyone thought about it and thought this method is the most reasonable. Major issues in the world cannot be given up just because of one person's random denial. As long as the majority agrees and is implemented smoothly, this is indeed simple and
Great idea that works.
So everyone raised their hands with excitement and interest.
The excited Emperor Tianqi stood up, held the Long Bookcase in his hand and stretched his neck to count the numbers in person. The final result came out. He did not wait for Wang Zhen beside him to read it out, and directly did the counting himself: "112 for yes, 30 for no, now I decide
, this method has passed." Then he pointed to Wang Zhen excitedly: "Hurry, hurry up, write it down, write it down, I will sign and seal it here." Then he pointed to the ministers below: "Come on, come on, everyone.
Hurry up and put your fingerprints on it, this is the covenant, and everyone will follow this method in the future."
So the ministers lined up happily and pressed their fingerprints on the piece of cloth.
A rule is passed and formed again, and the system is slightly improved again.
When Mao Wenlong pressed the bright red fingerprint and looked at the vermilion on his fingers, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. A good system is formed in this good atmosphere. There is no more chattering, and everyone can accept it happily.
It's all my own credit. Although there are still some loopholes in these systems, I was not a senior government official at the time and had no real political experience. I only had a superficial understanding of post-mortem policies, but it was enough at this time.
In this era, the pace of real reform cannot be too big, because without that foundation, the pace is too big, and it is easy to get involved. If you implement real democracy in a place where 90% are illiterate, you are looking for death. For example,
The India of later generations is a clear example, it really hurts.
After passing this decree, everyone quickly brought the topic back to the topic and continued to recommend the first assistant.
"I think that Mr. Yuan's analysis is really about being old and seeking the country. Therefore, I am quite satisfied with the choice of Yang Sichang. What do you dear ladies think?"
The ministers below discussed in low voices again. After about a quarter of an hour, Emperor Tianqi knocked on the table: "The time is not short. I guess everyone has made their own decisions." Then Luo rolled up his sleeves and announced excitedly: "
Those who agree with Yang Sichang as the first assistant, please raise your hands. We still have a minority and obey the majority. Everyone raises their hands after thinking about it. After raising their hands, they can no longer go back on their words."
Under Emperor Tianqi's explanation, all the ministers raised their hands to vote. Emperor Tianqi stretched his neck again and counted the numbers himself, and announced loudly: "121 people agreed and 21 opposed. Let's not discuss behind the scenes. Let's follow the rules. The minority will obey."
The majority is decided like this. I ordered Yang Sichang to come to Beijing as soon as possible. He is now the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet."
Everyone is a little confused, that's it. Every recommendation of the chief assistant will not cause trouble for a year and a half, and it will never be completed until the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is torn apart again and again.
That's it. This efficiency is really too fast, and it caught everyone off guard.
However, this kind of unpreparedness made people feel a kind of refreshing and refreshing. Although everyone had deliberately not mentioned the man-made disaster according to the emperor's intention, everyone decided in their hearts that it was the man-made disaster that was in their eyes.
The thunder disaster eliminated all enemies that hindered the normal operation of the court, and this new atmosphere emerged.
Emperor Tianqi looked at the deserted court and said to Shen Qirong, who had been promoted to Minister of Civil Affairs: "This is a natural disaster, which has caused the martyrdom of hundreds of our officials and created a large number of vacancies in various departments of our court. These vacancies
A substitute is needed, otherwise the entire court will not be able to function, and Shen Aiqing will have to work harder this time."
A complacent Shen Qirong walked out of the class and said to the emperor: "This is my responsibility. I will definitely recommend smart and capable officials to replace the original group of people, and then submit it to the emperor for review and approval."
Emperor Tianqi said cautiously: "In the past, the three factions of the imperial court were fighting against each other, which made the entire imperial court a mess. However, every time an official was selected, the three factions fought to the death, which seriously slowed down the efficiency of the imperial court. This time
The natural disaster severely damaged our vitality, but it also changed the structure of the imperial court and led to the prosperous situation we have today. I don’t want the same situation to happen again."
