Although the dynasty has been dispersed today, it does not mean that the hundred officials have already left work, the scattered dynasty is the scattered dynasty, and the scattered class is the scattered class, this must be clarified.

People who don't even have a yamen can go back to their small homes, and most people go back to their own yamen, and the yamen is also a home, but it's just a public house.

After all, there are only a few people who can go home directly after dispersing like Wu Shangshu, if he is not the head of a department, and he is in a trance, as if a catastrophe is coming, he will not run home after dispersing.

At this time, the team of Shuanggui had already set off, but one team went to the yamen of various ministries and the other team went to the homes of the convicts, making preparations with both hands.

Cao Huachun was born in the nineteenth year of Wanli, and is forty years old this year, and Cao Huachun, who is close to the age of confusion, has often been confused since the king of letters, Zhu Youzhen, ascended the throne.

For example, today he has the emperor's order, and Zhu Youzhen asked him to issue notices to the yamen of various ministries.

Gonggong Cao lived for most of his life, and he had passed on holy decrees, Yi decrees, and oral edicts to officials in the DPRK and China, but he had never passed on notices.

Cao Huachun carefully took out the notice from his arms and looked at it carefully.

If this was a holy decree, he would not dare, but this is a notice, according to what the emperor said, this notice is like a notice posted at the gate of the city, but the notice is for the people who enter and leave the city, and this notice is posted inside the yamen for the officials of all sizes to see.

The size and typesetting format of this notice in Cao Huachun's hand Cao Huachun saw it for the first time, and he measured it with his hand, and the paper was long and four fingers long, and the width was one handful.

In Cao Huachun's opinion, this notice is a bit small as a notice, and it does not show the royal style.

But what kind of paper can show it? Cao Huachun had this doubt in his heart for no reason, thought about it for a while, remembered the scene when he released the emperor's list, and secretly said in his heart, the piece of paper that wrote the emperor's list can show the royal style!

Cao Huachun sighed secretly, and suddenly remembered what Zhu Yousong, the son of King Fu, said: Big enough to appear wide enough! At this time, Cao Huachun deeply agreed with this.

The notice in Cao Huachun's hand began with nine big red characters of "Cabinet Office of the Ming Empire", and then was separated by a red line, and below it was a small number of words: "Notice on the distribution of New Year's gifts and year-end bonuses to the Yamen of various ministries during the Spring Festival".

Gonggong Cao, who is all excellent in poetry, calligraphy and painting, looked down again, and then there was a smaller word, which read:

The Spring Festival is approaching, the whole world celebrates, for the ministers of the court and the central government to have a happy holiday, through the cabinet proposal, His Majesty with royal approval, the following arrangements are made:

First, rest time

From the 29th day of the lunar month to the first day of the first lunar month, it is a holiday for hundreds of officials, a total of three days.

On the 29th day of the lunar month, the cabinet and the six departments of Shangshu will be on duty normally, and the holidays will begin at noon on the 30th, and the rest of the officials at all levels will be on normal vacation.

Second, the distribution of New Year's gifts

Before the end of the work tomorrow, come to Chengtianmen to receive the New Year's goods of each department, and the welfare distribution standards will be publicized tomorrow.

Third, the year-end bonus is issued

After tomorrow's o'clock, each head will go to the household department to receive the details of the year-end bonus of each yamen, and the year-end bonus will be issued together with the New Year's goods, and the year-end bonus needs to be signed in person.

The more Cao Huachun looked at it, the more awkward it became, because the notice in his hand was not from the right up and down, but from the left and right, which made Cao Huachun, who was used to nodding and reading, not adapt.

There is also a date in the lower right corner of the notice, which is not written in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, but on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month of the year 2178.

Cao Huachun, who saw this date at that time, was full of doubts, but fortunately, the little eunuch who wrote the document enthusiastically explained to him, saying that this was the day determined by the emperor after asking the historian and Qin Tianjian, saying that this was the first year of the birth of Confucius, the Holy Father, and this year was exactly 2178 years, and the emperor also said that the date of the official document should be written in this date format in the future.

I heard the little eunuch say that the prince of Fu Wang still had a dispute with the emperor because of this period, and the prince originally suggested that the emperor directly use the birthday of the Yellow Emperor to determine the yuan, but later took a step back and said that one of Yao Shunyu could be used to determine the first year.

The emperor actually had this meaning at the beginning, but this was a little difficult for the historians, many people rummaged through the old papers, and did not find out the exact birth dates of these three sages from the history books.

Cao Huachun frowned, he couldn't understand what kind of trouble the emperor and the prince were making, I heard that the little yellow door also said that the emperor seemed to want the people of Qin Tianjian to improve the "Great Unification Calendar" a little more, and he would add this day in the future, Cao Huachun knew that the Great Unification Calendar used by the Ming Dynasty was completely copied from the Yuan Dynasty's time calendar, but it was just a change of name.

Although Cao Huachun couldn't understand the meaning of the emperor and the prince, but the intention was unpredictable, the emperor said that what to do with him, a person who is a minion, just do it, so he, the celebrity around Zhu Youzhen, could only take this alternative notice into his arms, and take things to the cabinet to see the reactions of these cabinet elders first.

The matter of issuing a notice can only be run by one yamen and one yamen, but to issue this notice, the cabinet must use a seal.

Cao Huachun turned around and glanced at the little yellow door behind him, this little yellow door was holding the emperor's seal to the cabinet, this seal is not an official seal, not for a person or an official position, but for the cabinet department, yes, the emperor is talking about the cabinet department......

The cabinet is close, and the office is in the Wenyuan Pavilion on the east side of the palace, and when he was about to arrive at the place, Cao Huachun deliberately slowed down his pace, and he couldn't help but have some bad taste in his heart, thinking about the reaction of these cabinet elders after seeing this special notice from the emperor.

When I arrived at the door of Wenyuan Pavilion, I saw the holy oracle hanging high, and strictly reaffirmed the regulations: "Confidential land, officials and idle people, etc., are not allowed to trespass, and violators will not be spared." ”

Cao Huachun coughed lightly, held up the notice in his hand like a decree in the past, and said in a loud voice: "Saint-the notice has arrived!" ”

Although the guard standing upright at the door did not move, his ears had already been propped up, and when he heard Cao Huachun say something, he was notified, if he didn't know Cao Huachun, the big celebrity in front of the emperor, maybe he would have to draw a knife and drive people away!

Cao Huachun held the notice in his hand, walked inside, walked outside the warm pavilion of the cabinet office, and said loudly: "The notice has arrived!" ”

Shi Fenglai, Huang Liji, Zhang Ruitu and Li Dingguo, who were hiding in the warm pavilion and drinking tea, received a greeting from Xiao Huangmen, saying that Cao Gonggong had come to pass the decree and hurriedly ran out to receive the order, but when Huang Liji opened the door curtain, Cao Huachun had already walked to the door.

Huang Li looked at Cao Huachun with great curiosity, Cao Huachun smiled so much that his face was wrinkled, and he only heard him say: "No need to welcome, no need to welcome, our family is preaching today." As he spoke, he raised the notice in his hand, "And this notice." ”

Cao Huachun cleared his throat and said, "The emperor's message!" ”

The four scholars hurriedly lowered their hands to listen, and Cao Huachun saw the four of them bowing their heads to listen to the order, straightened their waists and said: "The emperor said: Take this notice to the cabinet to see, if there is something you don't understand, let them ask me, if you understand, use this new seal and seal it to copy it to the yamen!" After speaking, Cao Huachun's straight waist collapsed again, and the emphasis on the oracle was to pass on the emperor's words word for word, and even the tone of speech had to be imitated.

After listening to Zhu Youzhen's dictation, the four of them raised their heads, and the little yellow door behind Cao Huachun hurriedly picked up the seal engraved with the Ming Cabinet Office, and Cao Huachun said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the emperor's new seal for the cabinet, and the emperor said that this seal will be handed over to the cabinet to issue notices and documents, and it will be kept by the first assistant." ”
