After Zhou Shixiang got married, he stayed in Nanjing and did not return to Zhenjiang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Dadu Governor's Mansion has been moved from Zhenjiang to Nandu, and the yamen is located in the yamen of the former Liangjiang governor. With the implementation of the constitutional reform, Nandu once again became the center of power. Zhenjiang is the temporary station of the command organization of the Fifth Theater, which is responsible for the training and combat affairs of the New Second Army and the New Third Army.

The cabinet is governed by six scholars, the first assistant is still Guo Zhiqi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the second assistant is Zhang Huangyan, a scholar of Huagai Temple, and the group assistant is Hong Yuao, a scholar of Dongge University, Ding Zhixiang of Wu Yingdian University, Yuan Kuoyu, a scholar of Jinshen Temple, and Fu Gang, a scholar of Wenhuadian University. The grades are all set to the same product.

The restructuring of the six ministries was not large, only the functions of the original military department were subsumed into the Metropolitan Governor's Office, the new school department and the treasury department were established, and the ministries of other ministries remained unchanged.

After the establishment of the school, the former Yongli Imperial Court University scholar Fugang was the secretary of the school, in charge of the education of the central to the local school, and presided over the biennial examination.

Fugang is Chongzhen's six-year promotion and seven-year jinshi, and Guo Zhiqi is the seven-year promotion of the Apocalypse and the first year of Chongzhen, so Fugang is lower than Guo Zhiqi in terms of qualifications. However, in the Yongli Imperial Court, Guo Zhiqi has been liaising with foreign contacts to recruit soldiers and horses to resist the Qing Dynasty, and Fugang has always accompanied Yongli and served as a second assistant. When Li Dingguo moved Yongli from Anlong to Kunming, he intended to be the first assistant by Fugang, but later because the Qing army entered Yunnan in a big way, the matter was abandoned.

Fugang's departure from the school department and the use of cabinet directors is a commendation for Zhou Shi's adherence to Fugang's persistence in resisting the Qing Dynasty, and it is also a reward given to the former Yongli Dynasty officials headed by Fugang.

Since the Fugang downwards, a large number of former Yongli Dynasty officials who returned from Annam have successively served in the Six Ministries, the Palace Affairs Yuan, and the local government, and these officials are undoubtedly the natural supporters of Zhou Shixiang compared to the original gentry in the southern capital. Because if it weren't for Zhou Shixiang, they would probably have died in the vast mountains of Yungui, or were captured by the Qing army. Compared with the Jiangnan gentry whose lives are relatively stable, these Yongli court officials can be said to have experienced life and death, hope and despair. They have a first-hand understanding of the evolution of the current situation, and they have more lifelong memories of the suffering suffered by their country than others.

Some people are worried that Zhou Shixiang's use of a large number of former Yongli court officials will make the "pro-Gui" force in the court grow again, and it will become a hidden danger in the future. In this regard, Zhou Shixiang disagreed, because he knew very well that the reason why these officials were exiled to Annan was that they were desperate for Zhu Youlang, the son of heaven. If it weren't for that, they would not have resigned and abandoned the seal and left Zhu Youlang.

Therefore, no one knows better than these Yongli courtiers the danger of the emperor's incompetence and cowardice to the country. Let them devote themselves to the "pro-Gui" movement, but I am afraid that no one will be willing anymore.

Moreover, after Fu Gang and others returned to China, they would immediately prove that Yongli's canonization of Zhou Shixiang as the king of Qi was true, and this incident has also shown their attitude. At least, no matter what the purpose, these Yongli officials sincerely hope that Zhou Shixiang can take the helm of the big ship that has been broken down by the Ming Dynasty.

Although these Yongli officials have more or less various problems, and do not conform to the image of "new officials" in Zhou Shixiang's mind, and their ability to govern still needs to be improved, their qualifications and attitudes are what Zhou Shixiang has to rely on now.

Most of the officials who have been trained in Guangdong are too young, and they have taken the liberty of promoting them to the "central" council, and some of them have been promoted to encourage them.

Zhou Shixiang will not pull out the seedlings too quickly, he has patience and time, waiting for the young people to mature step by step, step by step to replace the old officials and become the backbone of the emerging Ming Dynasty.

He himself is very young, and he is only 34 years old this year.

The treasury department was split from the original account and was in charge of financial management. The former Taiping Army Treasury and the local silver treasury were all in charge of the Treasury Department, and were responsible for the issuance of grain stamps. After the announcement of the candidate for the Treasury Minister's Cabinet, it attracted a lot of criticism, because the Treasury's Cabinet Minister's Minister's Son-in-law Yang Zai's son-in-law Yang Zai.

Yang Zai, Ma Jixiang, and the imperial prince Weigong were the only three surviving Ming Dynasty officials in the "Cursed Water Difficulty". Ma Jixiang was killed by the rebels in Sichuan, and Wang Weigong came to the southern capital with Empress Wang and others after Guiyangyang's recovery, and there was no actual dispatch with him.

After Yongli was placed in Guiyang by Wu Sangui, Yang Zaizeng was ordered by Wu Sangui to go to Huguang to persuade the loyal camp to serve Yongli. However, Wu Sangui never expected that Yang Zai would never look back.

Yang Zai entered Hunan from Hubei and identified himself to Zhao Sihai, the governor of Hunan at the time of the Taiping Army, and was then sent to the southern capital by Zhao Sihai.

After meeting Yang Zai, Zhou Shixiang felt that this person was quite capable of managing money, so he let him work in the bank treasury, and his performance was quite outstanding, not only stabilized the prices in Jiangnan, but also successfully implemented food stamps in Jiangnan, and established bank branches at all levels from the province to the county, which can be called a talent.

After the establishment of the Treasury Department this time, the first thing that Zhou Shixiang thought of was Yang Zai. Although Yang Zai and his father-in-law Ma Jixiang did many things that were harmful to the country, they appointed people, and these things were not Yang's intention, so Zhou Shixiang's appointment of Yang Zai was exceptional.

The Ministry of Industry is the former governor of Huguang Zhang Changgeng, the household department is also led by Yuan Kuoyu, Ding Zhixiang continues to govern the criminal department, and the Ministry of Rites is still presided over by Hong Yuao.

The chief officials of the Auditor's Court and the Tribunal's Court and the three yamen of Dali Temple under the Privy Council are all called court envoys, and the grades are the three grades.

The director of the palace affairs is called the dean, and the grade is the second grade. Under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple, Taifu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Hanlin Temple, Honglu Temple, Shangbao Division six institutions are the four products of the institution, of which Shangbao Division by the former ceremonial eunuch Pan Yinglong presided. The original palace institutions were all abolished, and all the ministries were coordinated by the palace affairs institute. The original water delivery, laundry, cleaning and other matters were undertaken by the Shuncheon Prefecture.

The regents of the Privy Council were led by Zhou Shixiang, and Li Dingguo, Prince of Jin, Li Laiheng, Prince of Shun, and Zheng Xi, Prince of Min, were auxiliary governors.

There are 38 cardinals below the auxiliary government, and the civil ministers include Guo Zhiqi, the prince of Chaoguo, Song Xianggong, the marquis of Qionghai, and Zhang Huangyan, the marquis of Zhoushan, and the rest are army generals. Such as Nanhai Hou Geyi, Deqing Hou Tieyi, Xinfeng Hou Shao Jiugong, Xinhui Hou Zhao Sihai, Xiangshan Hou Jiang He, Xin'an Hou Suna; Gui An Bo Qi Hao, Ding An Bo Shao Chengguo, Ding Shuo Bo Li Fengming, Jing An Bo Wang Fuchen, Ping Bo Wang Youxi, Ding Nan Bo Zhu Qinglai, etc.

Feng Shuangli, King of Qingyang, and Bai Wenxuan, King of Gongchang, were also cardinals, and 11 other lords canonized during the Longwu and Yongli periods were also cardinals, of which 4 were from the Zhongzhen Battalion, 3 were from the Great Western Army, and 3 were from the Zheng Army.

The constitution decreed that there were 120 privy councillors, but now only one-third of them are available, and nearly 80 seats are vacant.

After the constitutional reform, except for the lords directly canonized and recognized by the Dingwu Imperial Court, the rest of the dukes and counts were no longer recognized. This policy deprived more than 130 lords of their titles at once, which is not bold. However, after the decree, none of those who were cut down dared to make trouble, because the military reform of the Taiping Army had been basically completed, and most of these people who were cut down were deprived of military power and could not resist in tandem.

Moreover, they themselves did not have many soldiers and horses, such as some dukes and marquis who were reorganized in Guangdong, and their subordinates did not have as many soldiers and horses as a thousand households of the Taiping Army. Now that the general trend is clear, the Taiping army is strong and strong, and Zhou Shixiang is a person who is not ambiguous in killing, so even if these original "stragglers" are given ten courages, they do not dare to make trouble.

The restructuring above the court was basically implemented according to Zhou Shixiang's intentions, and neither Guo Zhiqi nor Emperor Dingwu obstructed the reform. As soon as they knew it, they couldn't stop it. Second, Zhou Shixiang had already told them that after the restructuring, he would lead the Northern Expedition.

Guo Zhiqi is not Qin Hui, and Emperor Dingwu is not Song Gaozong, although they have some petty tricks in private, but in the major matter of the Northern Expedition, the emperor and Shoufu have the same thoughts, that is, no matter how domineering Zhou Shixiang is, no matter how disobedient he is, they can't sabotage the Northern Expedition and fall into infamy through the ages.

Ding Zhixiang, a bachelor who led the team to Nanchang, and Wan Niance, the deputy envoy, jointly played Emperor Dingwu and asked Zhu Cihuan, the king of Liyong, to be the crown prince.

This joint concert was like a storm, and soon the cabinet received a letter from all over the country asking King Liyong to be the crown prince.

Those who have a little heart can immediately see that these songs, which were almost sent to the southern capital by accident, must have been instructed in advance, otherwise King Yong had just appeared, why would they be so eager to ask King Yong to be the crown prince.

The person behind it is obviously Zhou Shixiang, and now in the Dingwu Imperial Court, His Royal Highness Zhou Shixiang, the King of Qi, does not speak, who dares to boldly write to ask for the crown prince.

Guo Zhiqi personally took these pieces into the palace to meet Emperor Dingwu, and after discussing with the monarch and ministers, he agreed to appoint King Yong as the crown prince.

When Emperor Dingwu was in Wencun in his early years, he asked Zhou Shixiang to visit King Yong, and made it clear that he would hand over the throne to King Yong in the future. In this regard, he did not break his promise, even if his nephew Zhu Linwei, the king of Yongxing, was by his side, and he was extremely filial to his uncle.

Guo Zhiqi also did not object to establishing King Yong as the crown prince, in his opinion, King Yong is the blood of Emperor Chongzhen, and from the perspective of the legitimacy of the throne, King Yong is obviously more popular in the world. If after Jiashen, either of Yongwang and his two elder brothers could go to Nandu first, there would not have been a wave of pro-Gui, Tang, and Lu for more than ten years, so that the country's small strength would be consumed in the incessant infighting. Liyong Wang is the crown prince, which may also make Zhou Shixiang's usurpation difficult.

On May 23, the southern capital held a ceremony to crown Zhu Cipao, the king of Yong, as the crown prince, and then Zhu Cihuan entered the East Palace.

As the dust settled on the selection of candidates for the East Palace, Zhu Linwei, the king of Yongxing, moved out of the palace and lived in the palace specially selected for him by Emperor Dingwu.

Although he didn't have much affection, and he could even be said to be very strange, as a cousin, he knew that after his younger brother moved out of the palace, the little mute went to visit Zhu Linwei with Zhou Shixiang on his back.

When he returned, the little mute was a little sullen.
