Chapter 533: How did the first assistant of the cabinet come to be

Hearing that the land was going to be confiscated, Yang Shiqi suddenly sighed in his heart...... Frankly speaking, he had doubts about this move, but he also knew that he was a light talker, and the major affairs of the court were not something he could participate in at all.

Yang Shiqi was even more disapproving, he felt that Fang Xiaoru was indeed too pedantic, since he knew that these people were hopeless, and he always wanted to do something, didn't he find himself unhappy?

It's like Zhu Yunwen, knowing that he can't do it, he still has to finish with him, except for being brainless, there is no other word to describe it.

Yang Shiqi was silent, but Zhu Di took a fancy to him.

"Liu Chun, you said that he had cultivated the Emperor Ming Ancestral Training with you at the beginning? Have you ever taught in Jiming Mountain? ”

Liu Chun smiled and nodded, "That's true, Yang Shiqi is very talented, familiar with the scriptures and history, and has a pen, but it is rare in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Di laughed, "It's rare for you to praise someone like this!" In this way, he was appointed as the Hanlin attendant, entered the Yuan Pavilion, and pre-empted the aircraft! ”

Zhu Di said lightly, and Yang Shiqi didn't seem to care.

Only Liu Chun, with a pout, the cabinet is here!

Not surprisingly, Yang Shiqi became the first cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, there is no such statement at the moment, and the cabinet system is not completely complete, and few people can see clearly what kind of monster this small cabinet will grow into......

Many people say that the cabinet was founded by Zhu Di, but this is not true. As early as the Lao Zhu period, after the abolition of the prime minister, all the national affairs were attributed to Zhu Yuanzhang alone.

Lao Zhu was not omniscient either, so he set up some consultants, the so-called scholars, to serve as consultants. This is the abuse of the cabinet. That is to say, Lao Zhu encountered something that he was not sure about, so he called to ask, usually they do not participate in the handling of the government, and the level is only five.

Later, Lao Zhu became more and more skilled, and the consultants were thrown aside, and when Liu Chun entered Beijing, he rarely saw these scholars.

Zhu Di didn't like Lao Zhu's style of doing everything for a long time, especially the big matter of sesame mung beans, how could it all be handled by the emperor?

Zhu Di plans to expand the cabinet, in addition to consulting, and then take charge of some trivial matters, he can go all out to deal with major policies.

Frankly speaking, Zhu Di originally wanted Liu Chun to be the prime minister and deal with these for him, but with Zu Xun, he couldn't destroy it. If you can't restore the prime minister, you will be too wronged to get Liu Chun into a small cabinet. That's why there is a plan to make Liu Chun a Yan Shenggong.

It's just that Zhu Di didn't think clearly, the so-called seven officials in front of the prime minister, although these emperor's advisers are not high-level, they can influence the highest decision-making, and they are definitely not a group of dispensable small characters.

After all, it must be very difficult for one person to govern such a huge country, and no one dares to try it except Lao Zhu. Therefore, decentralization is inevitable.

And according to the rules, usually, the closer people are to the emperor, the more authority they receive.

The six Shangshu are inherently inferior to the cabinet ministers. If there is anything closer than the cabinet ministers, it is the eunuchs of the palace.

Therefore, it is almost inevitable that Lao Zhu abolished Zhongshu Province, expanded the power of the cabinet, and then released the eunuchs to check and balance the cabinet, forming a pattern of cabinet votes, celebrity supervisors approving red, and jointly dividing the power.

At this moment, Zhu Di started this head.

By the way, the earliest cabinet ministers are not necessarily all university scholars, like Yang Shiqi, who entered the cabinet as a waiter and a class of Hanlin officials, abound.

It's just that later, with the esteem of the status of the cabinet, the cabinet must be a scholar, and in order to show respect, he will even add the title of scholar.

In the later period, he simply added a few lonely teachers, directly suppressed the ministers, commanded hundreds of officials, and became the de facto prime minister.

Therefore, Yang Shiqi at this moment is just a small shrimp, which is really insignificant.

However, since Yoo Chun knew the potential of the cabinet, he did not intend to let him go lightly.

"Lord Wang, although the cabinet is not high-level, there are many kinds of government affairs that need to be handled, and the content involves the six military departments, some of which are real and some are false...... Of course, it is necessary for the cabinet ministers to adopt people, but it is also necessary for the cabinet ministers to have a deep understanding of the government and politics, so that the things drawn up can be in line with the wishes. In a word, it is necessary to have both height and grounding! ”

Zhu Di blinked his eyes and nodded: "Yes, what you said is too right." I Zhu Di is a martial artist, and I don't like it. Ministers must be simple and clear, not allowed to be pretentious, not to quote scriptures wantonly, to write people's words, to make people understand! ”

As soon as he was promoted to a cabinet minister, he let Zhu Di come with a stick, Yang Shiqi was smashed into a daze, he said in his heart, forget it, I still go to the Hanlin Academy to repair the book, I won't enter this cabinet, okay?

When Yang Shiqi was hesitating, Liu Chun said again: "Lord Wang, Yang Shiqi participated in some changes in Changsha at the beginning, but the degree is not deep, and the understanding is not detailed. I plan to let him implement this division of the field, the soles of his feet are stained with mud, he has walked out of the blood blister, and he understands the people's feelings, so that he can be a good consultant and assistant to the prince, I don't know what the prince thinks? ”

Yang Shiqi's thoughts were directly ignored by Liu Chun, the official position was too small, and he had no right to speak at all.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly smiled.

Zhu Di's task to Liu Chun was to let him help deal with the official. Zhu Di also knows that officials have always been pretending to be powerful and bluffing. Yang Shiqi was able to come to pay tribute to Fang Xiaoru, which shows that this person is okay. But whether there is a problem with anyone or not, it's hard to say.

Let him go down to experience, and then come back to do things for himself after passing, and if he can't get through, he will get out...... Anyway, it's just a petty official, and he doesn't feel distressed if something happens.

"Your proposal is very good, and the rules will be formed in the future, anyone who wants to enter the cabinet must first go to the following to experience and understand the people's sufferings before they can enter the cabinet."

Zhu Di's sentence became one of the ancestral teachings in the future, almost immediately cutting off the road for most ministers to enter the cabinet, and it was controversial in later generations, but no one could overturn it, and because of this, the door of the cabinet was almost closed to Qingliu forever. These people can only scold people in Kedao, and if they want to really participate in decision-making, I'm sorry, they cultivate locally, and they will talk about it when they have political achievements.

Zhu Di and Liu Chun, while talking, have already begun to outline the rules of the game for the Ming Empire, and others can only act within the framework.

For example, Yang Shiqi, he received the order, and his head was big.

Zhu Di asked him to use the property of the Zhongshan Mansion to settle 10,000 displaced people.

This requirement is very clear, but how to operate it is too difficult.

Because Yang Shiqi soon discovered that these lands were very complicated, including those directly owned by the Wei Duke's mansion, those owned by the Wei Duke's Ding, and the gentry and landlords who depended on them.

In a word, the Duke of Wei is a big tree, attached to this big tree, there is a circle of networks, thousands of people, relying on the signboard of the Duke of Wei, absorb wealth, and live a comfortable life.

What should I do?

Yang Shiqi first issued an order, asking each family to hand over all the land.

There was only a few responses to this order, and basically no one paid attention to it.

There was no way, Yang Shiqi could only go down in person, but the first time he went down, he touched the nail, and thousands of ordinary people appeared in the place, holding hoes and sticks in their hands, looking like they wanted to fight with Yang Shiqi.

In the second round, it failed again.

Yang Shiqi is simply crazy, Zhu Di has not much time to give him, and only 10,000 people can't be settled, let alone entering the cabinet, it's not bad if he doesn't go to prison.

Yang Shiqi was about to make another heavy hand, but at this time, an old friend of his came.

"Lord Yang, here is a thousand taels of gold, please be sure to accept it, as long as the adults open the net, the villains will be indispensable in the future!"

Yang Shiqi lost sleep this night, a thousand taels!

A piece of yellow and clear, heavy gold, dazzling eyes.

Yang Shiqi was born in a lonely family, his mother remarried to the Luo family, but his stepfather offended the powerful and became a criminal official, relying on mother and son to rely on each other. Since he was a child, Yang Shiqi has never seen so much money!

One thousand taels of gold, sixteen taels and one pounds, more than sixty pounds, almost as heavy as a child.

Yang Shiqi's eyes turned golden, he carefully wrapped the gold, held it in his arms, heavy, and couldn't breathe, what he wanted was this real feeling, it was too fulfilling!

He held it for a full hour, and then he put the gold under his head and hid it under the bed...... All night, Yang Shiqi didn't close his eyes.

That's the magic of money!

As long as you nod your head, a thousand taels of gold will be your own, and there will be a steady stream of benefits in the future, maybe not only gold, but also beautiful women, and all kinds of jewelry and antiques......

The eyes of the early morning shone into the house, Yang Shiqi finally stood up slowly, he silently carried the gold on his back, and did not use the carriage, just step by step, he walked to the Ducha Yuan, he didn't go far, and his whole body was soaked with sweat. But he just didn't want to ride a car or horse, and he even wanted to make the journey a little farther.

The feeling of being pressed by gold is really real, and it would be great if it could go on until the earth is desolate!

In the afternoon, Yang Shiqi reappeared in the countryside, and at this time, there were a thousand elite soldiers behind him!

"Give me an order, take all the fields, dare to stop them, and take them all! Also, tell all the people not to be deceived, let alone to confront the court! ”

Yang Shiqi gave the order decisively without the slightest hesitation.

When the people of the imperial court were dispatched, the person who gave Yang Shiqi a gift appeared, and he glared angrily.

"Lord Yang! Take people's money and people to eliminate disasters. Don't you even understand this point? You, do you still talk about the rules? The other party was angry, and he came to Yang Shiqi's face, "My lord, if you are not satisfied, can you still add it!" ”

Yang Shiqi suddenly laughed, "Originally, it was just to collect your land, since you mentioned it, then please go to the Criminal Department, and deal with the crime of bribing officials!" ”
