Chapter 614 Ning Fan presides over the morning court session. Who has any objection?

early morning.

Before dawn, Ning Fan got up early, got up and changed his clothes under Yao Ji's attendance, and led Dian Wei and others straight into the palace.

Early morning.

"See His Highness King Yong!"

"Your Majesty, no courtesy!"

Ning Fan sat down next to the dragon chair and looked around. All the civil and military officials in the court focused their attention on Ji Sui and Xie Xingxian, their eyes full of surprise.

Weren't these two just dismissed from office a few days ago?

Why am I standing on a dry bank again today?

"If there is something going on, go ahead and leave if there is nothing going on!"

Wei Ying shouted loudly, and Lin Qiushi, the left prime minister, took the lead in the line, slightly cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, I have a plan to report!"

"Please wait a moment, Prime Minister Lin. Before the official announcement, I have something to announce!"

Ning Fan smiled slightly, looked at Wei Ying aside, and said softly: "Eunuch, declare the decree!"

"promise!"

"From now on, the imperial court will establish three provinces, divided into Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province, among which..."

Wei Ying held the imperial edict and clarified the composition and powers of the three provinces one by one. For a moment, there seemed to be a thousand waves in the court. Lin Qiushi's body shook violently, but Shen Li showed a hint of concern. A thoughtful look.

"Everyone, let's discuss this!"

"Who should be the governor of the three provinces?"

Ning Fan did not give the ministers a chance to speak out and directly pushed the positions of the three provinces. Everyone fell into a brief silence.

"Your Highness!"

"Since the founding of the country, the central organization of the imperial court of Dayu has been governed by six ministers, the left and right, by the two prime ministers. Now we have rashly established three provinces on top of it. Is it unnecessary?"

"What the Prime Minister Zuo said is absolutely true. Please think twice, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, I believe that this move is not conducive to the stability of the imperial court, so I will convey the order!"

"Your Highness, please think again!"

In an instant, more than ten officials came out one after another, stood behind Lin Qiushi, and spoke out against it.

Among the six ministers, Zhao Rui, the minister of rites, stood up immediately. Zheng Xuan, the minister of official affairs, had a look of hesitation on his face, and his brows had not relaxed for a long time.

"Your Highness, I believe that this move is the first of its kind. The establishment of three provinces will be more conducive to the unified deployment, decision-making, deliberation, and separation of powers of the imperial court. It will definitely improve the efficiency of the imperial court as a whole!"

"I second the proposal!"

As Shen Li came out, people close to Ning Fan also came forward to second their opinions, while the remaining neutral factions were not in a hurry to express their stance.

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Ning Fan.

"This move is the conclusion reached after the king and my father discussed it. If any of you have any objections, you can go to see your father and raise your objections in person."

"Wei Ying, declare the decree!"

Ning Fan looked at Wei Ying again, who smiled and took out an imperial edict from his sleeve again: "Since the founding of Yu the Great, the imperial court has established six departments and administered twenty-four divisions to benefit our country and protect our country. , This king sings about the system of his ancestors. However, in today's great world, heroes are rising together and countries are fighting. I, the Great Yu, cannot respect the past and despise the present. At the beginning of the change of the times, I, the king, studied the previous emperors and followed the current system. Set up three provinces and register three phases!”

"After discussing with the courtiers and reporting to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Li took the post of Zhongshu Shengzhongshuling, Zhuge Liang took the post of Minister Shizhong, and Lin Qiushi took the post of Shangshu Shengshuling. From then on, the three prime ministers were in charge of the imperial court and under their jurisdiction Officials, benefit the people!”

"Appreciate this!"

As soon as Wei Ying's words fell, the matter was concluded. Shen Li, Lin Qiushi and others, as well as the other civil and military officials, all stood there blankly.

They all showed an incredible look.

Such a big thing was decided by just such a decree?

Shouldn't we have a discussion?

Just a formality?

"Do you gentlemen have any objections?"

Ning Fan looked around with a smile. Several doctors at the Yushitai were about to speak when Jiang Gu suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I have recently secretly investigated the officials of the DPRK and found that many courtiers have been involved in corruption, perverting the law, and engaging in malpractice for personal gain. Nepotism!”

"Well!"

The half-stepped feet of the censors suddenly retracted, and they glared at Jiang Yu fiercely, their faces turning red from suppressing their efforts.

"This matter will be discussed later in court."

"My lords, is there anyone who objects?"

Ning Fan opened his mouth again and asked the ministers. Lin Qiushi showed a trace of confusion on his face. This result was quite acceptable to him. After all, the six departments of Shangshu Province were in charge.

Zheng Xuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, had a displeased look on his face. He was the head of the Ministry of Personnel. Logically speaking, there were three provinces above the six ministries. The position of chief of these three provinces should be reserved for him, both emotionally and logically. But now, The second in command of his official department was riding on his head?

This is simply unreasonable!

"Your Highness!"

Zheng Xuan stepped out suddenly and was about to speak when he saw Dian Wei and Xu Chu looking at him with squinted eyes. The swords on their waists were half unsheathed, their eyes full of coldness.

"Ahem!"

"Your Highness, I have no objections!"

"So good!"

Ning Fan stood up slowly, walked down the steps step by step, and then said: "Ji Shangshu and Xie Shangshu were ill a few days ago. Now that the officials have returned to their posts, the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is vacant, and Shang Yang will take over!"

"My lords, please tell me what you want to say. If nothing happens, withdraw from the court!"

The ministers all looked angry and dare not speak. It was the first time for them to see such a court after spending most of their lives in the central government. Under the guise of discussing with the ministers, Qian Gang made arbitrary decisions. If he disagreed, he would just remove him. The knives are facing each other.

Is there such a morning service?

"Your Highness!"

Finally, Shen Li took the lead, bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, now that Mobei has retreated, many farmlands have been trampled and houses have been destroyed. Please issue an order to settle the victims, restore production in the north, and repair the damaged city!"

"Hmm..."

Ning Fan thought for a while, nodded slightly and said: "This matter concerns the national economy and people's livelihood. Prime Minister Shen, you immediately set up a team of the Secretariat, come up with a charter, and then present it to the king. After the review by the ministers, implement it to the people!"

"Yes!"

...

Yuwang City, North Gate!

After a war, the North Gate has become riddled with holes. Officials from the Ministry of Works are stepping up the construction of the city walls and gates. The people inside and outside the city are also returning to their daily lives and going out to check the fields.

"Go!"

"Go!"

"Eight hundred miles in the north, hurry up and get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

A knight in a red jacket rode into the city, and the people along the street dodged and looked sideways, with a deep worry on their faces.

"May I ask the general, how is the battle in the north?"

"Great victory!"

The knight uttered these two words lightly, and the people along the street all clapped and cheered. Only the scout who reported the news had a deep look on his face, and there was no joy at all.

"Great victory!"

"We won!"

"That's great, the damn Mobei barbarians destroyed my land, and now they are rolling out of Dayu in disgrace, which makes me feel relieved!"

"If you offend Dayu, you will be punished no matter how far away you are!"
