035. Initial Administration of Government Affairs
After Qing Ming was released by Mingmingjun, he was even more worried about Yang Ling's safety, and after thinking about it, he summoned Long Xing early the next morning, gave him a gold medal for the Bronze King, and arranged a secret mission to let him go to the Arrogant Country for a tour, the purpose of which was to find out Yang Ling's whereabouts.

Long Xing took the order and set off, but he used to have a crush on someone, and now, he was also swept into the Xuantian Dao, in a situation of sympathy for the same disease, Long Xing was also very worried, so he took his butterfly black spirit and immediately rushed to the country of arrogance, the first destination, naturally the mansion of the patriarch of the Deep Nitrogen Clan, Mingjun.
As soon as Long Xing left, Zhong Quan came, he was the secretary of the ministry, in charge of the administration of officials, and now that the new king has ascended the throne, of course he came to the palace study for the first time to discuss the selection of officials with Qing Ming.
Qing Ming admired this master very much in his heart, and when he saw his master, he looked respectful, however, Zhong Quan attached great importance to etiquette, Qing Ming had ascended the throne, and he bowed down with the courtesy of a monarch and minister: "Weichen see King Qingming! Weichen has a matter of officials, and he wants to discuss with King Qingming!"
Qing Ming hurriedly stepped forward, helped Shizun up, and asked him to sit down.
Zhong Quan was very happy because of Qing Ming's successful accession to the throne, although the ceremony was over, he was still overjoyed, and said with a smile: "King Ming, according to the ancestral system, the new bronze king pulled out the Yue Sheng sword at the age of eighteen, and then ascended the throne as the king, if his biological father is alive, he should be crowned as the regent, assisting the new king to govern the country, and now that King Ming is on the throne, the first thing is to crown King Qingzhe as the regent, and Princess Qingzhe as the regent princess!"
Qing Ming nodded, since it is an ancestral system, it is natural to seal his parents.
Zhong Quan continued: "Next, your uncle, uncle, aunt, and their children should be rewarded. ”
Qing Ming said with a smile: "Be a reward! In addition to the royal family, promising officials in the court also ask the officials to give rewards, and the specific content of the rewards can be arranged by the master according to the ancestral system!"
Zhong Quan arched his hand and said: "The ministers should make proper arrangements! There is another thing, Weichen brings a list of vacant official positions in the imperial court to see if King Ming is interested in candidates?"
As he spoke, he handed over a long yellow paper directory, and Qing Ming took it and looked at it carefully. The list is listed according to the size of the official position, starting from the prime minister, the imperial court has a total of five Shangshu Ministries, the Ministry of Shangshu is Zhong Quanshizun, the household department is Yunhui, and the Ministry of Rites is Mingsu, these three Shangshu Ministries are under the command of Yunsheng Prime Minister, and the other two Shangshu Ministries represent the military strength of the major subject countries, one is the criminal department in charge of the Qingyuan King, and the other is the military department in charge of the Qingzhe King, and the guard of the royal city is jointly undertaken by the criminal department and the military department.
Under the Shangshu is the squire, each Shangshu Department should set up two squires according to the ancestral system, complement each other, at present, there are some vacancies in each Shangshu province. The general under King Qingzhe is the squire of the military department, and the position of the other squire is vacant.
After Qing Ming saw it, he shook his head and said: "Master Master, Ah Ming has just ascended the throne, and he still doesn't know the ability and temperament of the officials in the imperial court, so he can't give any tendentious opinions!"
Zhong Quan pondered for a moment, and said earnestly: "In this way, King Ming, Weichen has a word, and he will think twice! The official positions on this list are all high-ranking officials of the imperial court of my great subject country, and countless greedy people are struggling to find out, and they are looking at high-ranking officials and Houlu! However, for the sake of the country and the people, the appointment of officials must not be sloppy in the slightest. Wei Chen believes that it is better to have a shortage than an abundance, and only when there is a suitable candidate can he be appointed! King Ming might as well get in touch with the officials slowly and make arrangements after understanding them in depth!"
Qing Ming nodded and said, "So very good!" After speaking, he looked at Zhong Quan and asked: "Dare to ask Master, I saw Senior Brother Zhong Ying in Jucai Hall that day, in terms of character and intelligence, he is a well-known talent in the country, why haven't you seen him come out?"
Zhong Quan said with a smile: "King Ming, Weichen is the secretary of the ministry, in charge of the administration of officials, and the lower-ranking positions can be directly appointed, which can be described as a lot of power, but because of this, it is even more necessary to avoid it! Therefore, I have set up family rules at home, and the children of my Zhong Quan's family are not allowed to be appointed in my office." Zhong Ying is my nephew, and he serves as a senior brother in Jucai Hall, which is enough!"
Qingming was grateful for the kindness of his master, and his respect and trust in his heart increased a lot.
At this time, he remembered someone and asked, "Master, the disciple still has something unknown! Yun Shi is the youngest soul refining master in the Great Subject Country, why don't you see him in office?"
Zhong Quan sighed and said, "King Ming doesn't know anything! Yun Hui is still quite hungry for power! However, Yun Shi's personality is very different from his father, but similar to his mother, he has a very high understanding, and he is quite obsessed with soul alchemy, and he has made quite achievements, but he himself has always been reluctant to go out. Yun Hui is infatuated with his wife who died early, and has never remarried, he likes Yun Shi very much, and is proud of him, and because of this, he is always by him, never forced, but occasionally with the majesty of his father, he arranges some affairs for Yun Shi, the purpose is also to let him integrate into the general environment of the imperial court, in fact, Yun Hui still has some expectations......! Alas!"
Thinking of his former disciple Yun Chuan, Zhong Quan's face was sad.
Qing Ming recalled the bits and pieces of Yun Shi, and said to Zhong Quan: "I have an idea, Shizun to see if it is appropriate?" I think, Yun Shi is highly willful, but he is really a talent! I plan to visit him personally and persuade him to become a leader, I think he is no longer suitable to serve as a squire in my father's military department!"
Zhong Quan turned his sadness into joy, and said: "Don't hide it from King Ming! I don't like that old thing Yun Hui very much! However, Yun Shi, this child, I really like it, he used to be my proud protégé of Jucaitang, if King Ming can persuade him, it will be the best!"
Qing Ming said with a smile: "As for the rest of the vacancies on this list, the disciple has no idea for the time being, if the master has intentions, he might as well speak up!"
Zhong Quan paused and said, "In this way, Weichen will ask Prime Minister Yunsheng and several princes and princesses for their opinions, and if there is a proposal, I will report to King Ming!"
Qing Ming hurriedly replied: "Don't dare! Master is so polite to the disciple, the disciple is really not used to it!"
Zhong Quan Zhengse said: "The way of the monarch and the minister, etiquette comes first! Please also pay attention to King Ming!" He glanced at Qing Ming, his eyes carried the eagerness of a teacher, and then said: "Later, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mingsu will come to teach King Ming court etiquette, and please listen carefully to King Ming!"
Qing Ming straightened his upper body, and said with a straight face: "The disciple will definitely study in detail!"
Zhong Quan got up, ready to withdraw, and said goodbye: "So, that Weichen retires! There is another thing, three days later, it is the exit ceremony of Qingkun, Qingzhao, Yunyi, and Yunwei, and Weichen has sent someone to inform the three elders, and at that time, please also invite King Ming to come to Qingmai Mountain Jucai Hall to watch the ceremony!"
After Zhong Quan left, Ming Su walked in with a stack of booklets, and Heqiu'er, who was guarding the side, hurriedly went up to help pick it up, and then he freed his hand and leaned over and said: "Ming Su, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was ordered by the prime minister to come to communicate with King Ming about the etiquette system of the country!"
Qing Ming smiled warmly: "Please also ask Ming Su Shangshu to give advice!"
Ming Su took out the top one from the stack of books in Heqiuer's arms, put it on the table of Qing Ming, and respectfully introduced: "Ah, King Ming, this is the first section of the "Ancestor Worship Ceremony", the first section of the Bronze Clan's royal family to study etiquette!
Then, he pointed to the thick stack in Heqiuer's arms, and said: "These are also the ritual classics treasured by the Ministry of Rites of the Great Dependent Country, after talking about the "Ancestor Worship Ceremony", Weichen will tell King Ming in detail about the "Rain Ceremony", "Diplomatic Ceremony", "Expedition Ceremony", "Wedding Ceremony" ......"
Before he finished speaking, Qing Ming scratched his head uncomfortably, feeling that he was back in the class of the Human Dao, and he was bored for a while, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Ah!
Ming Su hurriedly asked with concern, "Is King Qingming sick?" Do you want to call the palace doctor?"
Qing Ming was a little embarrassed, lifted his spirit, and said: "No, no, Lord Shangshu doesn't need to worry, I'm just too tired and a little tired in the past two days, I think, it's better to be like this, Lord Mingsu, please explain to me this most important "Ancestor Worship Ceremony", as for the rest......" He looked sideways at the things in Heqiu'er's arms, and continued: "Please stay in the study, I will study by myself!"
As he spoke, he yawned and stretched, Ming Su immediately understood, and said with gentle concern: "I have been busy with the enthronement ceremony in the past two days, King Ming must be tired! That Weichen hurry up and briefly explain the "Ancestor Worship Ceremony", and leave the rest to King Ming to study by himself!"
"That's very good, Lord Mingsu, please!" Heqiu'er keenly figured out Qing Ming's thoughts, and found an opportunity to hurry up.
Although Ming Su picked the main points, but the etiquette of this big royal family is really cumbersome, who participates, when to participate, what kind of dress, what kind of worship order, the more Qing Ming listens, the more sleepy he becomes, and finally Mingsu said: "Okay! "Ancestor Worship Ceremony" will be here first! Ming Su retired, please Ming Wang have a good life and recuperate!"
After he left, Qing Ming casually flipped through the etiquette books left on the table, roughly estimated, no less than twenty volumes, his head was big, and when he thought about it, when the ceremony was held, the Ministry of Rites was responsible for formulating plans, such as the last enthronement ceremony, the pace, the content of the speech, etc., all of which were prepared in advance by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, so how could they memorize those classics by themselves?
Thinking about it, he still took out each book to take a look at the general summary, and when he saw the "Wedding Ceremony", Qing Ming's heart moved, and his interest increased greatly, he was very curious about the difference between the wedding here and the one he had seen in the world, so he turned the first page, and it was the section of "The Taboo of Marriage of Great Subject Countries".
"In order to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline, in principle, the Bronze Clan can only marry within the clan! When the Bronze King dies, he can only choose a fetus whose parents are both Bronze Clan nobles for soul transfer!"
"The queen must be a member of the Bronze Clan of the Great Subject Country!"
"Set up concubines according to political needs, but you must choose among the princesses of each country and the nobles of your country!"
"Marriage within the Bronze Clan must be approved by both parents!"
"Those who disobey their parents' orders and make a private life will be imprisoned forever in their souls, and they will never be free!"
Seeing the concubine, Qing Ming knew that this big subject country was the same as the ancient world of Taoism, in addition to the queen, there could also be a concubine, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and couldn't help grinning. When I saw the punishment for the prohibited, I couldn't help but shake my head, this is too strict! After thousands of years of development, the Tao of the world is now free to marry, but there is still a strict hierarchy here, and "private life" is strictly forbidden!
On the other side, Prime Minister Yunsheng rushed early in the morning, arrived at the Qingzhe Palace, and was anxious to recommend to the princess the candidates for the queen and concubine in his mind, looking at the long list he handed over, Princess Qingzhe frowned, and said: "There is Prime Minister Lao so bothered! But I don't know, these girls, Ming'er likes it or not!
