After saying these things, Zhu Daming took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said to the ministers present: "I have summoned a few ministers to come today, first, to deal with these urgent matters, and second, to talk to a few ministers about some of my ideas. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"One of them is that I plan to temporarily set up a military aircraft department in Wuyingdian that is responsible for helping me deal with military affairs, and the minister of military aircraft is selected from the ministers who know the soldiers, the military department, the governor's office of the five armies, and the governors of the border towns for a long time, referring to the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty, for me to consult the military, and have full authority to plan and lead the defense and counterinsurgency affairs of the nine frontiers.

"First, we can separate government affairs from military affairs without interfering with each other, and second, if the ministers who understand the government handle the government full-time, there will be fewer constraints and fewer mistakes, and it can also avoid the drawbacks of major military affairs being delayed due to empty discussions by courtiers, or not making a decision, and not doing anything. Of course, if something goes wrong, it's easier to hold accountable. That's a little bit of my consideration. ”

The establishment of a military aircraft department outside the cabinet to directly control more important military affairs in the hands of the emperor was the practice of the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

In this regard, Zhu Daming was most worried about the collective opposition of the cabinet ministers, because the previous cabinet was in charge of everything, and military affairs were the most important one.

Now that you have set up another military aircraft department, it is tantamount to dividing the power of the cabinet, especially the power of the head and auxiliary, according to the virtue of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely to be opposed.

Fortunately, the current cabinet is different from the cabinets before and after the Ming Dynasty, and three of the four ministers are suspected of eunuchs, and their right to speak is affected and restricted.

And the other minister, who is more authoritative, is basically impossible to object, after all, the emperor does this, which is tantamount to granting him more power than in the cabinet.

Therefore, as soon as the emperor's words were finished, the four of them were a little stunned.

Sun Chengzong looked at the other three people, and saw that the emperor was looking at him expectantly, so he got up and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty is wise. The minister thinks that it is feasible, and now that the construction is chaotic and the border affairs are heavy, His Majesty has set up a military aircraft department to be in charge of military aircraft affairs, and to take charge of Liao affairs and military affairs on the nine sides, which can be several times more efficient than in the past. Your Majesty's Holy Heaven is in full agreement. ”

Zhu Daming smiled and nodded, obviously satisfied with Sun Chengzong's words in his heart.

When Shi Fenglai and others saw this situation, they didn't know what to say, and instinctively wanted to oppose it, but seeing that the emperor's interest was so high, Sun Chengzong took the lead in agreeing, and he stood up to oppose it, would it anger the emperor.

Besides, if you lose your position as a cabinet minister because you fight for power for the cabinet, then what's the point of fighting for yourself, but if you don't fight, how will other courtiers think of yourself as the first assistant?

Thinking about it, the emperor named Li Guowei, Li Guowei may be a little flawed in small things, but in major matters, he still focuses on official affairs and state affairs, and the establishment of a military aircraft department, bypassing the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor to take charge of major military aircraft matters, must be more time-saving and labor-saving than taking everything to the court to repeatedly discuss and save time and effort, and it is naturally more efficient to handle.

In particular, although the cabinet has been bypassed on the surface, the Minister of Military Aircraft still has a cabinet minister, and it may not be able to really bypass the cabinet, but bypass the celebrant and supervisor, which is real, and this is what Li Guoyi is happy to see.

So he stood up and saluted and said, "The minister also thinks it is feasible." However, the only thing that can be worried is whether the authority of the Minister of Military Aircraft is too heavy, and whether the Military Aircraft Department will let the authority of the Cabinet be sidelined. Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear. ”

Zhu Daming saw that this Li Guoyan was indeed an understanding person, and when he saw Shi Fenglai and Zhang Ruitu, they also had a very concerned expression, so he said: "Li Aiqing's concerns are also reasonable, but everything in the world depends on me, and no matter how heavy the authority of the Minister of Military Aircraft is, it will be held by the cabinet member Wenchen, and there will be no danger of losing power."

"And the cabinet still helps me to take charge of the world's government affairs, the minister of military aircraft is still a member of the cabinet in government affairs, it is rare for government affairs not to hinder military affairs, the military aircraft department is only a place for me to consult the military aircraft, I do not intend to make the military aircraft department become a yamen, the minister of military aircraft is served by cabinet members and ministers, and the rest of the military aircraft department is composed of six ministries, the governor's office, the Beijing camp and the nine sides, no more officials, no more money, only in charge of military affairs, not involved in government affairs, how can the cabinet be left behind? Qing waited too much. ”

After hearing what the emperor said this, Shi Fenglai, who was a little relieved, quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers have no objections. ”

Needless to say, Zhang Ruitu immediately seconded the proposal.

Such a matter that was very important in Zhu Daming's eyes and may have taken a lot of time was decided so quickly, and it was a bit unexpected for him to go smoothly.

At this point, Zhu Daming hurriedly cut through the mess, and after several people discussed the functions and powers of the Military Aircraft Department and the charter, the cabinet secretary immediately drafted the decree, sent it to the celebrant to use the seal, and then sent it to the political secretary to know.

In the future, all military affairs will be sent to the military aircraft office set up in the Wuying Gate and reported to the emperor for disposal, so that in fact, it can be regarded as bypassing the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, and the emperor directly controls and handles military affairs through the military aircraft department.

What surprised Zhu Daming even more was that the courtiers paid far less attention to the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department than to the open investigation and prosecution of the eunuchs in the DPRK and China.

Especially for the emperor's decree, Li Guowei, who was suspected of being a eunuch, was responsible for investigating and dealing with the eunuchs in the DPRK and China, and many imperial historians who claimed to be the clear stream of the imperial court wrote to impeach Li Guoyao, saying that he himself had risen to a high position step by step by relying on Wei Zhongxian's promotion, and that investigating and prosecuting the eunuchs led by him was tantamount to letting the eunuchs investigate themselves, how could it be possible to clean up the eunuchs in the court, let alone clean them up.

A hot spot second only to this is that Shi Fenglai and Zhang Ruitu are still in power, and the emperor not only did not remove these two eunuchs, but also showed signs of continuing to reuse.

Especially Jia Jichun, the former eunuch imperial history, just because of the above-mentioned impeachment of his previous benefactor and putting him to death, he was favored by the emperor and promoted to the deputy capital of the Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate, which made some officials jealous and hateful enough.

Of course, some officials wrote to the emperor to admonish him, criticizing the emperor for setting up institutions in a disorderly manner, saying that now that the imperial treasury is empty and the state is tight, the emperor does not consider abolishing redundant troops and redundant personnel, and it is just a matter of reducing redundant troops and redundant personnel.

Zhu Daming could only laugh at these bullets after reading them, for such a movement, if you are serious, you will really lose.

In the next few days, Zhu Daming received a lot of concerts praising merit and virtue, mostly from foreign governors and officials from the southern capital, praising the emperor's wisdom in dealing with Wei Zhongxian, Tian Ergeng and other eunuchs, especially the will to recall and investigate the so-called Five Tigers and their henchmen, and to rehabilitate those ministers who were framed by the eunuchs, which has been well received by the government and the opposition.
