Zhu Qizhen ordered Wynn to announce Beilin's entry into the palace, and then continued to talk about business with Tuotuo Buhua.
"Sang Chi suffered a setback in Mobei. He lost more than half of his 50,000 cavalry force. Now both the strength and weapons and equipment are not as good as before. If you send troops, I will transfer 2,000 elites from Beihaiwei and recruit 20,000 civilians from Mobei.
Enough to capture the Yenisei River!"
Tuotuo Buhua nodded vigorously and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I promise to capture that bastard Sang Chi alive and avenge the Emperor!"
"Your tribe is currently settled in Mobeiwei. I heard from Atulu that everyone gets along very harmoniously. However, they are preparing to move. Don't worry, I have provided them with enough living materials."
"The emperor has made all the arrangements, how can I be worried?"
"I still don't know something. What happened to those Japanese people?"
Tuo TuoBuHua smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that they can't survive on the Japanese island. They want to use me to occupy a territory, and I also want to use their ship, so each can get what they need!"
"I am a rough man, I will speak out if I have anything to say. The most damning ones are those officials and the merchants who colluded with them. The Shanxi merchant surnamed Wang gave me a large amount of food and materials.
It is simply unacceptable for such people to live in this world, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food every day!"
Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, we have killed them all, no one is left alive!"
Tuotuo Buhua looked at the smile on the other person's face, and couldn't help but feel a little cold in her heart. She said such shocking words in such a relaxed tone...
"You should pay attention to what I just told you. If you pass the martial arts exam, you can directly enter the Ministry of War."
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua immediately became excited again and said, "I understand. When I get back, I will tell the young people in the clan to prepare for the exam!"
"That's not what I meant!"
"Didn't the Emperor say..."
"I just asked you to pay attention. I didn't ask you to bring all the young people over. Otherwise, will the war still be fought?"
Tuotuo Buhua scratched his head and said sheepishly: "With such a good opportunity, I also want to show my face, don't you? It would be great if one of my tribe could join the court as an official, haha..."
Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. You select thirty young disciples, preferably those who understand Chinese and have some basic knowledge of the art of war. They will be sent to the Academy of Sciences for intensive training tomorrow."
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua couldn't hide the joy on her face, cupped her fists and saluted: "I obey your order!"
It was past noon and Beilin arrived in a hurry.
"I have been summoned by your Majesty, what are your instructions?"
"I have decided, Garnco!"
"There is a serious vacancy of officials. I support Ganke!"
"Not only Ganke, but also restructuring!"
"Change...to what system?"
Zhu Qizhen had already prepared a draft and said: "In the future, the imperial examination will be held once a year and divided into subjects, such as liberal arts, science, engineering, martial arts, etc. The details will be left to the Qing family to complete.
"
Beilin looked at the draft and frowned: "The emperor's idea is very good, but the changes are so drastic all at once, I am worried..."
"You don't need to worry about these. Once my decree is issued, anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy! Anyway, I have already killed so many people, I don't care how many more are killed!"
Bei Lin nodded and said: "How long will it take for the emperor to complete the charter?"
"The sooner the better, how about three days?"
"Three days... that's ok. Then I'll submit it to the cabinet for approval..."
"unnecessary!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "After you change it, just bring it to me!"
Beilin looked a little confused and asked, "Don't you need a cabinet vote?"
Zhu Qizhen said calmly: "I am going to cancel the cabinet!"
"ah……"
Beilin was shocked and canceled the cabinet. What is going on?
"When the cabinet was first established, it was just for participating in political affairs. Now it has the power to decide on major court affairs. I think it is inappropriate and should change it!"
"Um……"
Beilin lowered her head and pondered, not knowing what to do.
Something big has happened, and the emperor is going to attack the cabinet!
When this news spread, it was as shocking as when Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Zhongshu Province during the Hongwu period!
No emperor likes anyone taking away the power in his hands.
"I boldly suggest that everything should be done step by step. As the ancients said, three feet of ice does not freeze in a day..."
"When some people rebelled, they never thought of taking it step by step!"
Zhu Qizhen's attitude was very tough and he did not want to compromise on this matter.
Although Beilin is a New Dealer, she has a very sharp mind, but she also feels a little weird.
When Zhu Yuanzhang deposed the prime minister, he at least gave Hu Weiyong a reputation as a rebel, which was considered "justified".
If you want to abolish the cabinet now, then abolish the cabinet. Cao Nai and Zhang Yi did not participate in the rebellion, and Zhang Yi even helped put down the rebellion.
Not to mention how big a role Yu Qian played, and his mentor Peng Qing, who is still wandering at sea!
Generally speaking, the four members of the current cabinet are all loyal and good people who have made great contributions to the court. If you suddenly decree to abolish the cabinet, what will all the officials in the world think?
"Your Majesty, this matter is too important, should you... think about it again?"
"I have considered it very clearly. When the cabinet is abolished, other departments also need to be reorganized. For example, the Hanlin Academy will be changed into the Academy of Literature and History. It will specialize in the study of literature and history classics in the future and will no longer be used as a reserve talent training institution for the imperial court."
"What about...the Academy of Sciences?"
"The Academy of Sciences will remain unchanged, but some disciplines will be separated, such as weapons and equipment research and manufacturing, which will be integrated into the Ministry of War in the future, agricultural research will be integrated into the Ministry of Household Affairs, and majors such as water control and road construction will be integrated into the Ministry of Industry. By the way,
You still have to set up a training class.”
Beilin asked confused: "What training class?"
"We added a martial arts subject to the imperial examination. Considering that the Tatars have very poor academic skills, I will give them a chance to set up a training class to study literature and military art. The results they can achieve by then will be up to them."
"I understand, let's get ready now!"
After Beilin left, Zhu Qizhen picked up a piece of paper and continued to write on it.
He has thought about the reform of the imperial court's institutions many times, but has never implemented it.
Taking advantage of this rebellion, we might as well change things together.
The cabinet must be abolished, because the chief minister of the cabinet has become another prime minister. As the head of the world's officials, this position will always represent the interests of the world's nobles, and sooner or later something will happen.
Now we need to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's example, eliminate the prime minister, and then increase the power of the six ministries.
The development of the Academy of Sciences has become unstoppable. The development of many tasks requires the cooperation of the Academy of Sciences. It is better to separate disciplines and set up their own research institutes under the names of various ministries.
The status of the Hanlin Academy has been downgraded, and the newly promoted Jinshi will be directly trained at the grassroots level. As for the old academics in the Hanlin Academy, they can just study literature and history in peace from now on.
