Chapter 299 Replacement of the eunuch who holds the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies

Thinking of this, Nan Juyi immediately said: "Your Majesty, in this case, how should the weapons bureaus of each guard station deal with it?"

If all the ambassadors of the Ordnance Bureau are to be changed to the fifth grade, then this would be a bit much, and there would be many follow-up questions such as the relationship with the local government, etc.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately replied without thinking: "The Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Capital will be reorganized. My plan is that the Ming Dynasty will only be divided into two Ordnance Bureaus of the Capital and Yingtianfu, and the Ordnance Bureau of the Capital will be the main one. Lord. Those with talent, skills and expertise will be arranged to join these two arms bureaus, and other redundant and incompetent people will be properly eliminated. The specific details of how to do this need to be reported to me. You cannot just abandon the matter!"

Nan Juyi listened and bowed to receive the order. After he finished speaking, no one else spoke for a moment, and the scene became quiet.

Regarding the innovation of weapons, Wen Tiren, the first assistant, smelled something different. According to his understanding of the emperor, as long as this weapon innovation is passed and proven to be effective. I am afraid that the emperor will continue to issue orders to reform the four official departments of Yingfeng, Yuheng, Dushui, and Tuntian under the Ministry of Industry according to this model. By then, the Ministry of Industry will probably be completely different from the past.

If the innovation is beneficial to the court, then there is nothing wrong with this kind of innovation. At least China has been changing for thousands of years. Before the Sui Dynasty, the most important imperial examination system today did not exist. Before the Ming Dynasty, prime ministers always existed. Wait, these are all changing. If one day, the Ministry of Industry completely changes, that's okay!

But if the innovative things don’t work, there will inevitably be repetitions. Wen Tiren thought that at this time, he could not think clearly about what the final actual situation would be after the reform of the Arms Bureau. But it sounds good so far, let’s take a look!

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that none of the ministers below him responded, he raised his voice and said: "The position of director of the Ordnance Bureau is very important. In more serious terms, he will be responsible for the life and death of the Ordnance Bureau. This first appointment is recommended by the ministers. There will be another appointment from the Ministry of Works in the future.”

When it comes to the military affairs bureau, they are all controlled by the eunuchs. Emperor Chongzhen planned to choose one himself and then directly intervene in the reform of the war bureau. Naturally, he would not care about the affairs of these courtiers outside. Of course, he doesn't want the Military and War Bureau to be dominated by one family, so he will personally take charge of the Arms Bureau, at least in his first term. After all, this innovation is too new. In this era, he is probably the only one who knows how to operate it.

At this point in the emperor's words, these ministers could hear that if there were no objections, the matter would be settled.

If we talk about whose interests are affected by the reform of the military system, it is naturally the series of personnel and departments who were originally involved in the creation of military weapons. Of course, some of the top officials present were involved.

But when they looked at the three corpses on the ground, they saw a clear and real threat. The emperor hasn't said how to deal with it yet. If anyone objects to this weapons innovation, believe it or not, the emperor will immediately order a thorough investigation! Emperor Chongzhen has used this method of coercion several times before!

Under this premise, no one dared to speak out against it. After all, people are selfish. If you can escape a disaster, who cares whether others can benefit from it later.

Emperor Chongzhen was sitting there, and when no one responded, he opened his mouth and concluded: "So, before noon tomorrow, the ministers can recommend a director of the Ordnance Bureau!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't even mention the final outcome of the three people on the ground, and drove back. This made all the ministers look at each other in confusion. Is this matter still pending?

Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care what they think. This knife must be hung. If he makes himself unhappy, you will also be unhappy. After returning to the palace, he immediately sent an order to the eunuch, the eunuch in charge of etiquette, to see him.

Wang Dehua had a rare opportunity to be summoned by Emperor Chongzhen, so he rushed over excitedly after receiving the order. Cao Huachun was accompanying him. When he saw him coming, he knew that to understand the war situation, there should be a eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and he couldn't help feeling slightly envious again.

No one expected that when Emperor Chongzhen saw Wang Dehua arriving, he scolded him loudly with a cold face, saying that Wang De had transformed into the number one prisoner, and that the war bureau was so corrupt that he didn't notice at all. He had betrayed his divine grace and sent him to Fenghuang. Yang guarded the imperial mausoleum and went to keep company with the former eunuch who was the admiral of the capital camp.

In fact, the corruption in the War Bureau involved at least a lot of eunuchs in the palace, and Wang Dehua would definitely not be able to escape. If we really want to investigate, just like the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, there will be a bloody storm.

After Emperor Chongzhen dealt with Wang Dehua, while all the maids and servants were frightened, he suddenly showed a smile again. I saw him saying to Cao Huachun: "My eldest companion has understood my wishes well in the past six months and has been running around for me in front of and behind my saddle. I am very satisfied. Therefore, my eldest companion is responsible for the ceremony supervisor, holding the seal for me, and sharing the daily busy affairs."

This means that Cao Huachun was promoted to the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Cao Huachun with envy. At the same time, they felt relieved. It seemed that the emperor only punished Wang Dehua.

Cao Huachun didn't expect this, and he couldn't describe his mood at the moment. Logically speaking, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department has slowly become the number one eunuch in the palace hundreds of years ago. But in the Chongzhen Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen was diligent in political affairs and almost caught up with Taizu Chengzu. As a result, the role of the eunuchs in charge of rites was greatly reduced. To be honest, they were not as important as Dongchang. And from the current point of view, Dongchang is expanding, and its power is naturally increasing day by day. To be honest, he was really reluctant to let go.

However, the emperor's decree was given and he was still promoted. Even if Cao Huachun was more courageous, he would not dare to refuse. However, he was a little curious in his heart, wondering who would take over the post of admiral of Dongchang.

Emperor Chongzhen had long thought of letting Cao Huachun serve as the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. After being mobilized in this way, Wen Tiren, the chief assistant in the outer court, and Cao Huachun, the eunuch and eunuch in the palace, can all understand the principles of their work. Only in this way can they be assured to handle more government affairs, and can they separate themselves from daily routines. Liberated from government affairs.

Haha, if you want to be as diligent as the original Emperor Chongzhen, then it’s like hell. What’s the point of being an emperor! Besides, sooner or later, the achievements of the capital will be exhausted by himself. At that time, he will definitely have to go out for a walk. On the capital side, Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun can rest assured.

Another point is that Dongchang has been officially expanded into a regular yamen like Jinyiwei, and many people were recruited by Cao Huachun. In this case, no matter how Cao Huachun is doing himself, it is necessary to transfer him away. His influence cannot be deeply rooted in Dongchang, which is not conducive to rule.

After dealing with the affairs of the ceremonial supervisor and the eunuch in charge, it was the turn of the vacant imperial envoy governor Dongchang Official School to serve as the eunuch.
