Counting from the day the white crane fainted, almost twenty days have passed, and the New Year of Daming is getting closer and closer.

Before the New Year, there is a regular meeting of the Manchu Dynasty. Bai Ming Crane called this kind of court meeting super big court, which means that all the officials in the capital have to participate in the big court meeting, and all the above nine grades are counted, so Bai Ming Crane named this kind of court meeting Super Great Dynasty Meeting.

Last year's Super Dynasty meeting only discussed two topics, one was to raise cheap money, and the other was to spend money in the coming year.

At five o'clock in the morning, Baiguan was already waiting in front of the noon gate to open.

Such a large pilgrimage meeting must be entered through the noon gate, and you cannot enter through the side door for any reason, this is the rule.

It was less than half an hour before the door opened, that is, about fifteen minutes after the modern era, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites began to carry lanterns to check the clothes of the hundred officials in turn. Of course, this is just a formality, and for such a big event, each yamen will check the clothing of its own department personnel in advance.

A palanquin stopped at Chengtianmen, and this palanquin attracted the attention of many low-level officials.

Some people say that there are still people who have just arrived at this time.

Look at the level of the sedan chair, the six-rank official.

In modern parlance, brother, you are dead.

But the sedan chair only stopped at Chengtianmen for a moment, and then several chief-level eunuchs wearing inner palace brocade clothes guarded the sedan chair at the four corners and walked inward, and all the discussions stopped, and the six-grade official sedan chair with this qualification was only one person in the entire Ming Dynasty. Now loyal and brave Uncle Bai Ming Crane!

From Chengtianmen to Wumen, all the officials lined up in five areas.

The lowest level is below the seventh grade, the sesame petty official area. They came here purely as a gift, giving them the opportunity to enter the palace and see it, and when they entered the palace, they had no right to speak, not even the right to observe. These people will trade in the square of the temple of the Taihe. The eunuchs of the inner palace will pass on the contents of the proceedings.

What is passed on is only the conclusion, not the process.

Further on, it is the small official area from the fifth grade to the seventh grade.

These people can stand outside the gate of the Taihe Palace, at least they have the right to observe, and they have nothing to do today when the discussion is held.

The next step is to start with important officials, who are below the third grade. It is more than five products. These are those who have entered the main hall, and they are already the backbone of the Ming officialdom, and it can be said that for ordinary people, such a level can already be called a big member.

Further on, there are fewer and fewer people.

Whether it is the second product or the second product, they are all top-level officials.

But Yu Qian and others are not among them, they belong to a higher level, the real power of the Ming Dynasty. Standing in the first queue. In addition to the six Shangshu, it is a great magnate of the level of the British Duke. This time, the people standing in the first area are somewhat different, and it can be said that this is the first time that the Ming cabinet has been decided.

Because of his young age, there is no place for him.

The first cabinet, only thirteen people. These people are the ones who will be in charge of the Ming Dynasty next year.

The sedan chair of the white crane stopped in the second area, and kept offering hands to greet the adults, at least the face was passable, and these adults also happily returned the salute. But there was no verbal communication.

After walking to the first area, Yu Qian's first sentence was accusation: "Did you oversleep?" ”

"Lord Yu. Don't be angry. I didn't sleep all night last night, and today's court meeting will at least sort out Haiji's accounts before October, which is also an explanation. As a result, when I went out, I wore the wrong official uniform, so I went back and changed again. This went wrong again, and after changing into an official uniform, he forgot some of the things he had brought with him, and asked someone to go back and get them. ”

Bai Minghe's words are believed in Qianxin. But Yu Qian still said: "In a high position, you must pay attention to your appearance, don't make people criticize!" ”

"Lord Yu, don't make trouble for Bai Minghe this time, and there will be no less trouble for him when we meet him. There are three copies of the recitals in his possession. Jin Lian walked over with a smile. smiled at Bai Minghe: "I'm not afraid to let you know that the income of the four ports of Wadao has not been reported, and you must have an explanation for this." ”

"That's it!" Shira-naka Crane smiled.

Jin Lian continued: "Also, the income of the Little Luzon Thousand Islands is not in line with the rules. Those who go to sea are counted as sea divisions, and those who do not go to sea are counted as anyone's. The last one, you didn't file taxes in Nanjing Heaven and Earth, this is not your Haisi's income, and you don't want to say that this is your private property, in short, this is not a trivial matter. ”

"Don't put the last one on the notebook, what do you say, Lord Jin, how do you recognize it!"

"No, because that side is in Xuanwu Lake, and the old man can be invisible in another place, this is a matter of silver. It's impossible for you to move all the places, and it's not that bit of silver. This is a matter for public discussion, not for you and me to discuss. "Jin Lian's brainless brain makes Bai Minghe unable to speak.

The palace gate opened at this time, and Jin Lian didn't say much to Bai Minghe, and returned to his position to line up and start entering the palace.

Bai Minghe stood at the end of the first queue, but he was wearing an official uniform from the sixth grade, and he was particularly dazzling when he stood in this queue.

The real Pilgrimage will be completely different from what is staged on TV.

There is no such thing as a black pressure on a person kneeling in the snow, there is a wooden frame outside the Taihe Palace, as well as a shed and hot water preparation. As a rule, low-ranking officials stand outside first, and when the court meeting begins, they can stand inside the shed.

The guards outside the Taihe Hall are the forbidden army, but there are still many empty spaces on both sides, and there are also sheds for officials to take shelter from the wind in the sheds.

The door of the hall of the Great Dynasty is not closed, and officials over sixty years old and above the four grades have at least one chair, and the young ones have soft cushions to sit on, and they are definitely not kneeling on the ground, or standing in the hall in a dense manner. Kneeling on the cold floor for a while, the older people estimated that this leg would definitely hurt.

Emperor Daming entered the palace, this time it was not a great gift.

Zhu Qiyu first thanked these officials for their hard work in the past year, their contributions to the Ming Dynasty, etc., and then thanked the officials before giving a gift. It's definitely not a ritual of three bows and nine bows, it only needs to kneel. And those with very high status and heavy functions, such as Chen Xun, do not need to kneel. It is the Qing Dynasty that keeps kneeling, not the Ming Dynasty!

The end of various etiquette, together with the words of thanks of the Ming Emperor, took half an hour.

Zhu Qiyu held the imperial case in his hand, but did not sit down, but picked up a folded piece of paper and walked to the front of the steps in a few steps: "Bai Minghe." ”

The first one to call was the white crane, which made the white crane a little nervous.

Last year, not to mention the first, the top ten couldn't take their turn, and this year I was the first one, and I was really nervous.

When Bai Minghe made an exception, Zhu Qiyu walked off the royal platform, and Bai Minghe quickly knelt in place. Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty stopped and motioned to Gonggong Cai to send the note in his hand to Bai Minghe.

After Bai Minghe took the note with both hands, Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty said:

"This is an IOU I gave you. As the saying goes, there is a rule for everything, and since the rules are established, I don't intend to break this rule. The Tile Thorn is going to send troops, and each town will more or less replenish some new weapons, but none of the towns really know about those weapons, so what I said is not wrong. ”

"This ......," Shirana Crane didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Qiyu also planned to let Bai Minghe answer, and continued: "This IOU asks you to take out three hundred people for each type of ordnance. It can be tried out in the school field, and it should be consumed to supply the Ordnance Division from the inner library. ”

"Command!" Shira-naka put the IOU in his arms.

After standing up, Bai Minghexin said that this idea was definitely not thought of by Zhu Qiyu himself, and it was probably Yu Qian's meaning. But Yu Qian may not have thought that Emperor Daming was not the kind of well-behaved young man in his impression, and Zhu Qiyu would already grasp the opportunity to show off like this.

It not only shows his respect for the rules of the court as an emperor, but also shows his concern for these soldiers as an emperor, and the so-called reimbursement of the inner treasury is still from the sea division.

Secretly glanced at Yu Qian, and it was really as he guessed.

Although Yu Qian's face remained calm, his eyes were slightly closed, and it was obvious that he was not happy in his heart.

Secretly laughing, Bai Minghe was about to return to the queue, when he heard Wang Wen walk out in two steps: "Lord Bai, wait a minute, this official happens to have a performance book related to you, you can explain it by the way." ”

"Ahh The white name crane said in his heart, I have no enmity with you.

Wang Wen smiled and signaled Bai Minghe to feel at ease.

After Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty returned to the throne, Wang Wen took out the notebook:

"Hooray, I think there are many unclear regulations in the current sea division. For example, in Manila Shipping, in fact, all the shipwrights and guards are already retired veterans. The registered soldiers of the Fujian Dusi, whether it is the guard or the sailor, are all young elite soldiers. Therefore, the minister thought that it was imperative to separate the Manila shipping and other shipping from the sailors. Another example is Haiyunwei, who thought that it should be separated from the capital of Guangdong, and the same as this, the five thousand households in the three guards in the open sea, and the four new 4,000 households in the four ports of Wadao. ”

What a big deal!

Bai Minghe is more and more afraid to underestimate the political system of the Ming Dynasty, and the division of control at all levels is definitely a good way to centralize power.

Wang Wen has never raised this matter, also because Bai Minghe has never been in court.

Now, it is impossible not to take into account the identity of the white crane, and it is always necessary to consider the face of the white crane.

"The minister thinks that separation is a good thing. But how to divide it, I'm afraid that the minister didn't pay attention to it for a while! The white crane also agreed to divide, but he really didn't think about how to divide it.

"As long as we agree to divide it, we can study it slowly in the next year, and we must always take into account all parties, and we can't hurt the normal operation of the divisions, political departments, and ministries because of the separation." Wang Wen's answer was only to agree to put the separation on the agenda, rather than immediately come up with a plan for the separation.

Immediately afterwards, the real climax of this pilgrimage meeting appeared.

Merchant errands.

"Long live the Minister. It has been discussed before to amend the constitution of the cabinet, so it is better to set the constitution today, and these details will be submitted to the cabinet for discussion, long live you to review and then approve the amendment. It not only does not lose the righteousness of the national policy, but also can get twice the result with half the effort! (To be continued......)
