Since the establishment of the cabinet, it has not been united.

From the beginning, the chief assistants Ren Hengtai and Xie Jin were assigned, and Gao Yangzhi and his disciples were in a state of opposition.

As the first assistant, Ren Hengtai has always adhered to his philosophy of governing the country belonging to Neo-Confucianism, and was in a state of balance with the Xinxue headed by Xie Jin and Gao Yangzhi. The two sides would have different views on many things.

In addition to this, people from the Governor's Office headed by Xu Yungong also entered the cabinet, and they abruptly divided the cabinet into two factions: civil and military.

Although there is a tacit understanding in Wenyuan Pavilion that civil and military affairs should be divided, this does not mean that Ren Hengtai cannot intervene in military affairs. Similarly, if Xu Yungong and others are willing, they will also start to express their opinions and express their positions on matters within the civil service.

.

Today's meeting is about the emperor's serious illness, which may cause turmoil in the imperial political situation. It is normal for conflicts and disputes to arise.

Since Zhai Shan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, entered the cabinet, he consciously attached himself to Ren Hengtai. In the sequence of civil servants and cabinet ministers, he worked with the chief assistant to balance the master and apprentice Xie Jin.

During today's meeting, he hoped to take the opportunity to further reduce the authority of the local vassal kings.

Although he only said that the vassal kings were not allowed to leave the vassal country without authorization, and the guards of the princes were not allowed to go out without orders.

But as long as such a government order is issued, it will soon gradually evolve to the point where the clan princes will no longer have the right to interfere in local affairs, and the command of the guards of each prince's palace will be taken away by the local commander-in-chief.

This seems to be a very beneficial thing for the Metropolitan Government.

But Xu Yungong and others did not speak.

Because they knew that no matter whether this matter was beneficial to the Governor's Palace or not, the imperial court would be able to directly intervene in the security affairs of the various palaces in the future.

Gao Yangzhi, as always, had strict requirements for official administration.

The matter was transferred to local officials.

Especially when he said this in front of Zhai Shan, the official minister.

This is almost a slap in the face.

Zhai Shan's face tightened, and his eyes moved from Gao Yangzhi's face to Chief Assistant Ren Hengtai's face.

Although he was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, Gao Yangzhi was in charge of the affairs of the Sanfa Division, and his position in the cabinet was ahead of him.

When Zhai Shan saw that his chief minister was silent, he looked back at Gao Yangzhi, whose face seemed to be punishing the local officials one by one: "Now that the New Year is approaching, and His Majesty's body is ill, there is something going on in the local area.

We should wait until after the new year to discuss it. At present, as the cabinet, we still have to focus on stabilizing the government and the country."

Since no one wants the other party to accomplish something, then no one should do anything.

Gao Yangzhi hummed, but a smile appeared on his face: "Then let's stabilize the situation in the court. There is nothing going on in the capital at the moment, and there are King Qin and Zou Xueyu working on things outside. I don't think anyone would dare to make trouble at this time.

"

After finishing speaking, Gao Yangzhi's eyes faintly swept over Zhai Shan's face, whose expression changed slightly.

They do nothing in the cabinet.

But there are still people out there who are doing things.

Earlier, His Highness the King of Qin had killed very few of the entire No. 17 Prefecture of Zhili Dao. Zhili Governor-General Zou Xueyu followed closely and quickly petitioned the cabinet to fill the vacancies for Zhili Dao officials.

It is true that Zhai Shan is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

But among the officials and officials in the Selected Works of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was the young talent they admired.

The Ministry of Personnel selects and transfers officials to the vacant official positions in Zhili Province.

The list did not appear in front of his cabinet minister Zhai Shan for the first time, but appeared in the hand of Gao Yangzhi!

Zhai Shan seemed to have been hit on his lifeblood.

His face changed instantly.

His eyes widened, and he wanted to speak several times, but he held it back and never uttered a sound.

Xu Yungong, Mu Ying, and Li Jinglong watched Gao Yangzhi and Zhai Shan pinch each other, and they all remained silent, but their eyes were constantly moving.

The internal fighting among the civil servants is naturally a good thing for those who are in charge of the governor's office.

At least in many matters, their governor's office will not suffer unified suppression from civilian officials.

Mu Ying spoke softly at this time: "The Chief Assistant knows that the Governor's Office is preparing to reorganize the military households of various guard posts in southern Zhili in the near future, and cooperate with the Zhili Governor's Yamen to reform the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Road.

"

Mu Ying has now achieved the title of Duke of Guizhou.

This was the position that had been prepared for him at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but he had not been promoted to the title in the past few years due to various reasons.

As soon as Mu Ying said this, Zhai Shan's eyes trembled.

Even the chief assistant Ren Hengtai, who had been sitting motionless in his chair, moved his eyelids slightly and looked at Mu Ying indifferently.

Mu Ying just smiled slightly and said: "Previously, Taisun had said that the military household system would do more harm than good in the future. The Military Aircraft Staff Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the Jiangwu Hall deduced it many times and came to the same conclusion as Taisun.

It's time for the military household system to be changed.

At present, before the 18th Prefecture of Zhili Province implements the military household restructuring of the guard station, the Metropolitan Governor's Office will re-recruit and select suitable young people to join the army, which is far better than the inheritance of military households."

This is something that has already been discussed at the Cabinet meeting.

With the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has been a journey of thirty years.

People can already see that the military household system established in the early days of the Republic of China is no longer suitable for the current system.

The establishment of the military household system was primarily to ensure that all people in the world could perform their duties.

But in recent years, the court also began to discover that the father of a military household may be a good soldier, but the son of a military household may not be suitable for being a soldier.

Can a son of a military household, who has no strength to tie a chicken or even farm, become a soldier of the Ming army wearing armor and carrying a sword?

The answer is obvious.

But Mu Ying brought this matter up again at this time, obviously not just to change the possible drawbacks of the military household system in the future.

He simply wanted to stir up the court and destroy Zhai Shan's plan to stop everyone from doing anything.

What is more profound is that once the military household system in Zhili Road is changed, all the government offices will inevitably be implicated.

Does the Ministry of Household Affairs need to re-determine the tax burden of these military households? Does it need to allocate land to these people who have withdrawn from the military households?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Will the Ministry of Industry also re-plan villages and build water conservancy projects for these people?

Not to mention the official department.

Under the current big issue of whether the imperial power can be transferred to the countryside.

No. 18 Prefecture in South Zhili is a good experimental field.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs must also set up a government organization in the shortest possible time for these people who have withdrawn from the military household system.

And as long as there is movement in various departments, offices and localities, problems will inevitably be exposed.

With these problems exist.

Gao Yangzhi mentioned at the beginning that local governments should be strictly managed, and the officials' opinions can naturally be implemented.

"you……"

Zhai Shan felt a little sulky in his heart, so he spoke in a deep voice, holding the handrails tightly with both hands, but in the end he endured it.

Ren Hengtai turned his hand over on the table and lightly tapped the table with his knuckles twice.

His eyes scanned everyone present.

"The reason why the Eighteen Prefectures on both sides of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were established under the jurisdiction of Zhili Governor-General Zou Xueyu is that His Majesty used the Eighteen Prefectures of Zhili as a test field.

The imperial court is currently adopting new policies frequently, and there must always be a pioneer.

How Zhili Road does things, no matter what the final results are, will be the foundation and model for the world.

but……

Zou Xueyu and other members of the Governor-General's Office of Zhili were also officials of the dynasty. If they had done a good job, they would receive merit. The officials would have to take merit tests, and the cabinet would naturally have to ask for merit.

But if the errand is done badly, you will have to learn a lesson, admit guilt and be punished.

This is why I, with the emperor's favor, sit in the cabinet."

Whether it's Zhai Shan, Gao Yangzhi, or Mu Ying.

After Ren Hengtai's words, everyone shut their mouths.

The chief assistant's intention was obvious. He would not agree with Zhai Shan's plan to make all parties stop and do nothing, but he would not tolerate the people below who were on duty to cause trouble.

Ren Hengtai, as always, chose to be neutral and upright.

Just after these words.

Ren Hengtai picked up the tea cup, took a sip of herbal tea, and exhaled a stream of white smoke.

He went on to say: "His Majesty is currently ill, and I think he will ignore state affairs for a long time. It's just that the prince has been supervising the country for many years, so there is no need to change the state affairs. However, since the cabinet is responsible for the civil and military affairs of the court for the Tianjia general,

Not only must we balance all parties and sort out government affairs, but we must also take precautions before they happen.

There are some things that I shouldn't say. But just because you don't say it, doesn't mean you won't do it.

Before His Majesty has the decree, no one in the capital or the 17 denominations is allowed to tamper with it. If there are any administrative orders, they must be submitted to the cabinet before they can be implemented.
