Luoyang.

The emperor has been feeling unwell recently, and Sun Simiao, the director of the military hospital, diagnosed the emperor as overworked and told the emperor to rest more.

Luo Cheng estimated that he had high blood pressure, so he could only reduce his workload.

General government affairs are handed over to the government and the assistants to vote for Zhu for approval, and major military affairs are handed over to the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Sanya.

Of course, Luo Cheng was not completely relieved to get rid of it like this. Although there are Jinyi Wei and the Imperial City Division as the eyes and ears, the emperor is still not completely at ease.

Therefore, he borrowed from the system of later generations and introduced the system of folding and folding.

Guanyin is now the emperor's right-hand man, and recites these recitals for the emperor every day.

"Nghe An County's Taishou Luo Da'en played into Liu, asking for mangoes and other materials from Fanzi."

Luo Cheng closed his eyes and nodded, "Dai Zhen replied, and said that he knew, these things are just fruits, and they are not of great use, so there is no need to bother too much to send them, and the distance is far away, and it is too bad to transport." ”

Guanyin said with a smile, "This Luo Taishou is a mango, and he has already made three folds before and after." ”

Luo Cheng also said helplessly, "Rough horseman, that's it." "This Luo Daen's real name is Hu Daen, he was originally under the command of Dou Jiande, and later led his troops to surrender during the Battle of Mayi.

However, he was born in a reckless manner, and he didn't have much culture, so he was okay to fight, and now he was transferred by Luo Cheng to Lingnan Guangdong Road, where he was Taishou of Yi'an, and to the north was Shen Faxing, one of the three feudatories in the south of the Yangtze River, and to the east was Liuqiu (Taiwan).

When this guy arrived in Yi'an, he was very serious about the army training, and he worked very hard, but he usually likes to go to the fold, and he is all unnutritious.

In the past, officials reported something to the emperor, and used the chapter to express the discussion, the chapter to thank, the play to impeach, the expression to plead the case, and the discussion to disagree.

Soon after Luo Cheng became emperor, it was changed to the prime minister's ticket to be pasted yellow, and all the seals were reviewed by the prime ministers first, and then the general administration department was added.

All official seals are sent to the Department of General Administration, and copies of transcripts are also to be backed up. Then after the political hall posted the yellow ticket, there were scholars from the Hanlin Academy to approve the Zhu pen on their behalf.

Therefore, officials reported to the emperor on matters, whether it was official or private, whether it was a thanksgiving medal or an impeachment recital, it was public, and there was a special format.

However, in this way, there are many procedures, the operation is slow, and there are many people who handle it, which is easy to cause leaks.

At the same time, Luo Cheng wanted to hear more about the real situation below, so he deliberately launched a folding system, not only officials can play, but even many local village sages and other famous figures can also play directly to the emperor. Moreover, these folds no longer have to go through the general secretary, the prime minister, and the scholars like the previous seals, but are directly sent to the court and presented to the emperor, and there is no need for special format restrictions.

In addition, Luo Cheng also stipulated that this kind of fold must be written by the person who performs the work, and must not be disclosed to others, so this is actually a secret fold system.

The person who played the music wrote it personally, did not write it on behalf of the person, and after it was presented to the palace, it was specially kept and stored and passed on by the inner servant, especially the excerpts of the three grades or more, which were directly sent to the emperor's imperial case, and were given priority.

These twists and turns are generally not handed over to the General Administration Department, the Political Affairs Hall, and the Hanlin Academy. But if there are too many twists and turns for the emperor to deal with alone, he will also help screen and deal with them through the trusted eunuchs or concubines around him.

Because there are no format requirements for the recital, if it is not clear on the cantata, or if it is inconvenient to say it publicly, you can elaborate on the recital, and the emperor can even reply in detail in the recital.

The intermediate links were reduced and the efficiency was greatly increased, especially because these were secret plays, so that the emperor had a clearer grasp of the situation in the world, and even between the local and the central, the inner court and the outer court, and between the province and the county, a mutual restraint relationship was formed.

The emperor can also pass this kind of secret fold, which has another layer of constraints on the prime minister of the political affairs hall and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy.

No one should try to deceive the emperor.

However, there are also places like Luo Daen, who are too guarded and diligent, but nine out of ten are not serious, what is the heavy rain in Ngee An recently, what is the famous thief in Nghe An recently, what is the recent cheating between a woman and her father-in-law exposed, and what minister sent someone to Liuqiu to trade, bought back mangoes, and got Liuqiu's excellent deer skin.

All these things made Luo Cheng speechless.

However, it cannot be said that it is completely useless, and sometimes there is a lot of useful information in the compromises of officials in various places. For example, in the case of local floods and droughts, or where there are big bandits, or where there are people who rebel, there are often more than a dozen or even dozens of local officials who make a move, so as to avoid the situation where some local officials conceal and fail to report it.

"Guanyin, Dai Zhen replied to Luo Daen, asking him if he has been in good health recently, whether he has adapted to the climate over there in Lingnan, and tell him that I have been in good health recently, but I have gained weight again."

"Your Majesty, why do you want to reply to this?"

Luo Cheng smiled, "You just do it like this." ”

A few words of vernacular seem to be unnutritious, but they are also a means to get closer to the courtiers. Luo Daen, this kind of general, in fact, has always been a little unconfident, so he will ask for an excerpt every once in a while, and he will send a deer skin today and a mango tomorrow, just to show off his sense of existence, since this is the case, then satisfy him, and it is nothing to say a few words about this kind of fat, but it will shorten the distance between each other a lot.

Liu Chaoen, the envoy of Nanhai City, and Niu Chengen, the envoy of the merchant ship of Nanhai City, also came up with their own performances, "Your Majesty asked them about their requests last time, and both of them replied that they had sent people to cross the island to visit Mingqing. ”

"Niu Chengen, the merchant envoy of the South China Sea, said that he sent people to contact a local indigenous chief, bought a port with a shipload of goods, and agreed with the local natives to set up a trading market there and continue to trade with the natives, and the natives were very satisfied, and now he is sending people to build a wharf there and build a fort."

Luo Cheng was very satisfied with what he heard.

"This Niu Chengen is still very smart, I woke him up, and he immediately knew that he had established a stronghold first. Very good, tell him, don't conflict with the natives first, it doesn't matter if the natives take advantage of it, first buy a few more pieces of land there to build a port and wharf, build a Tunpu stronghold, if they refuse to sell, you can rent it first. ”

The eldest grandson dipped the brush in cinnabar and began to reply, and her small block writing was very beautiful.

"Your Majesty, is this Liuqiu Island so important?"

"This Liuqiu Island is not small, the Spring and Autumn Period is called Daoyi, Qin is called Yingzhou, the Three Kingdoms is called Yizhou, the Sui Dynasty is called Liuqiu, this island is more than 700 miles from north to south, 300 miles from east to west. It is only 600 miles away from Nghe An County, and it is only more than 300 miles away from Nan'an County of Jian'an County, this island is huge, the climate is good, and it is close to the Central Plains. ”

The eldest grandson was surprised, he thought it was just an ordinary island, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
