If there is a major government in the court, it will be discussed in the court.

What are the councils discussing? "The government of the great kingdom is within the scope of the court discussion, and if it is great, there will be a discussion of the decree, the discussion of the heir, the proposal of the capital, the discussion of the suburbs, the discussion of the temple, the discussion of the ceremony, the discussion of the knighthood, the discussion of the relatives, the minister, the discussion of the official system, the discussion of civil affairs, the discussion of finance, the discussion of service, the discussion of transportation, the discussion of military ......'

The Son of Heaven had already issued an edict a month ago to discuss the reform of land transportation, which was also a matter of great importance. And yesterday's noisy Dragon Boat Festival, somewhat diluted this should be self-sustaining and serious atmosphere, until this morning, many officials suddenly remembered that after the Dragon Boat Festival is the day of the court meeting!

Yesterday I let myself go too far.

The court meeting was presided over by the Ministry of Officials, because it involved several departments, and its nature could not be delineated which department should be classified into, generally this kind of department was presided over by the Ministry of Officials, and the ministries would play.

The concert is that the official servant first drafts the 'result', transcribes it, and then submits it to the person who responds to the proposal, and then the official book seals it. If there is disagreement, the dissenting opinions must be presented to the emperor.

There are two things to discuss in this court: first, the reform of the post road, specifically the reform of the north-south land route; Second, the three regions of the North, South and Central China are designated as special economic zones. Originally, there was only one of them, and the second was added temporarily.

In addition to the six ministries and nine secretaries, six departments and thirteen provinces, there are also governors of various provinces, governors, governors of the five armies, and some honorable relatives, totaling more than 60 people. The officials also engraved the topics after the transcription into a booklet as a simple explanation, and then attached two sheets of paper to each volume and distributed them to the ministers who should be discussed. It is required that each question should be discussed in detail and the reason for the action should be stopped, and it should be sent to the department within three days for additional examination.

If there are people who avoid suspicion and cannot hold a discussion, or if they have other opinions, they will be reconsidered by the cabinet and then wait for the decision.

Therefore, although the court discussion is the 'result', it is not the final result, and it is still up to the emperor to make a final decision: fully adopt, partially adopt, or not adopt. If the emperor is not satisfied with the results of the court discussion, he can repeatedly make a decision, or even veto it with one vote, ignoring the court discussion.

Li Ju is a little worried about the court discussion, according to past experience, this method is easy to be a formality, not a group of ministers to discuss and speak freely, it is inevitable that it will not be swayed by a few honorable officials, and it will not be out of the opinion of one person.

In addition, there is the attitude of His Majesty, which gives him the impression that His Majesty is only interested in the attitude of the courtiers. In this way, the effect of the council will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the resistance to the implementation of the decree in the future will not be small.

In fact, he also suggested to His Majesty that it is advisable to adopt the method of court discussion, such as the Xuande Dynasty, where the emperor and the ministers discussed face-to-face, and after the result was obtained on the spot, the decree was directly passed on and implemented, without waiting for approval, but it was rejected by Emperor Yongming.

"Boss, it's not that I don't want to discuss with the Zhongqing family, but since last year, I have given countless opportunities to negotiate, and I also hope to make a decision in the court, and then issue an order to implement, I don't want to delay the decision for a long time, but it's a pity...... It backfired. ”

"And is it difficult? It's just a road to build, why is it so long delayed? I'm also curious, so I want to see what these good ministers of mine are up to. ”

Li Ju had to sigh secretly, he felt that His Majesty's dissatisfaction with the ministers of the DPRK and China was even more than a year, and if it were not for his dissatisfaction, he would not have appointed a woman as an official. It's not that he looks down on women, but His Majesty is like this, but it seems to have slapped the face of the corporal in the world.

Why is Your Majesty dissatisfied? In fact, Li Ju also saw it thoroughly, as an official, he did not observe the situation, and he often praised and degraded his character with high righteousness, and this is the problem. When 'selling the king's straightness' has become a means to win fame, he has forgotten his duty as an official, in order to get the king's way.

The power of civil officials is embodied in the governance of the country, but everyone has selfish desires, how can personal moral self-discipline restrain the selfish desires in human nature? If it is restrained by severe punishment and strict law, it will lead to the alienation of the relationship between the monarch and the minister, which is the crux of the problem between the monarch and the minister.

The emperor of the dynasty is not good at the law, but it does not mean that he can tolerate such courtiers, and gradually withdrawing and emptying the power of civil servants is what the emperor is doing now. In this regard, Li Ju, as the first assistant and the head of civil officials, often has a deep sense of powerlessness. To this day, there are still many people who cling to the rigid rules of the old science and ignore what is happening in front of them.

The wolves are already around, but the people in them don't know that the crisis is imminent.

The way of the world will also change, and if the courtiers can't keep up with the emperor's footsteps, they will also be abandoned.

Three days passed quickly,

The officials gathered the 'results' submitted by the various ministries, examined and sealed them one by one, and then presented them to His Majesty for the final decision.

On this day, Emperor Yongming was fortunate to drive the Wenhua Hall and was in the palace with the cabinet. More than 60 volumes were read by the four members of the cabinet, and Emperor Yongming himself selected a few volumes to read separately. After reading the cabinet, they exchanged with each other, and finally counted the results together.

Which people were selected by the emperor to read separately? This is unknown, but a few people read all the booklets, but did not see the books of Cao Du, Zhejiang Governor and others.

It didn't take long for the four of them to finish reading and then start counting the results. It's not complicated, it's just to screen out the dissidents and put them together, and then count them separately.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has basically finished counting here," Li Ju said forward.

"Tell me about the result?"

"When discussing land transportation, it should be on par with what it should do."

Emperor Yongming smiled when he heard this: "Heh, I thought it was one-sided." ”

"Uh...... There are a few people, in fact, even the old minister didn't expect it. ”

Emperor Yongming's eyes showed a hint of interest,

"Xu Shangshu of the Criminal Department discussed whether or not, this old minister didn't expect it; The governor of Jiangxi and the governor of Shandong discussed it, but this old minister didn't expect it. ”

"Unexpected, but reasonable."

"What is the result on Your Majesty's side?"

Emperor Yongming smiled and said nothing, and thought for a while before saying, "This discussion is settled here in me. ”

Li Ju was stunned for a while, and then said, "Yes, the old minister understands." ”

"What is the outcome of the second meeting?" Emperor Yongming continued to ask.

"Speaking of the second discussion...... Li Ju's face was a little weird, and a little incredible: "Twenty-two people thought it was allowed, seventeen people thought it was impossible, and the rest gave up, and each expressed his own opinions, and the reasons were also strange. ”

Emperor Yongming pondered for a moment, and then said, "So, what do you pavilion elders mean?" ”

"The minister thinks this proposal is feasible," Li Ju replied very simply.

The other three did not participate in the call, and they were not familiar with this issue, but the three of them saw that Shousuke had all responded, and after thinking about it, they still followed.

"This is also over, and the next step is for the cabinet to draw up the decree," Emperor Yongming said again.

"The old minister obeys."

————————

Today, Emperor Yongming is fortunate to be in the Wenhua Palace, and he did not return until the day.

The Emperor's work was done, but the whole flow of documents had just begun. After the Cabinet prepares the edict, it needs to return the edict to the celebrant for approval and sealing, and then send it to the six sections, which need to repeat the edict or reply, and then obtain the decree and then implement it, and finally go to the General Administration. The provincial Titang officials will receive the relevant decrees of the province at the Department of General Administration, copy them, and then send them back to the provinces through the post system.

Therefore, it will take a few days for the edict to be truly conveyed.

However, there is still a 'tail' that has not been solved, and the reform plan has been passed, but there is still a need for someone to coordinate this matter, and this candidate for the emperor did not decide on the spot, only said: think about it and then make a decision.

Sure enough, on the morning of the second day, Emperor Yongming announced that the reform would be led by Wu Conghai, Marquis of Yunning, to coordinate the overall situation.

As soon as this decision came out, the court was in an uproar, and even Wu Conghai himself was surprised.

However, accidents are accidents, and to be able to fall into such a good thing, I still envy a group of ministers. Li Ju also learned on the spot, and after knowing it, he didn't just smile bitterly, the emperor's attitude was too obvious, he just didn't believe Wenchen.

Wu Yan is full of 'ear threads' in the palace, of course, she is the first to know about such major events, in fact, it is mainly to grab first-hand news.

But she didn't have much excitement about Wu Conghai's appointment, but seemed a little cautious, but the Wu family was happy.

Of course, the Wu family is happy, and there is already a great favor, and since the daughter of the Wu family entered the palace as an official, the favor has become even greater. The status of the imperial concubine in the palace is very stable, although Zhu San is not the person who inherits the unification, he is reckless, he usually doesn't like to read, he always loves to dance with knives and guns, and he makes small mistakes from time to time, but this is the kind of character that the emperor likes.

As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all graces, and grace is good, but it will not be permanent. Everyone can tell the truth that prosperity must decline, but how many can really understand?

Wu Yan thought about it for a day, and after thinking about it, he still had to tell Hou Ye about it, which was a wake-up call.

The second day announced by Emperor Yongming was Xiu Mu, Wu Yan got into the carriage, Ai Youwei followed, and went to Yongfang again.

I chose to come out at the end of the time, and when I arrived at the Hou Mansion in Yongfang, it was almost noon, and I chose this time to visit, so I naturally planned to stay in the Hou Mansion for a few more hours. So when the housekeeper Wu Jin led the eldest lady into the Hou Ye's study, he hurriedly retreated, and hurriedly grabbed Wu Yan's personal maid Ai Youwei, and asked,

"What does the eldest lady usually like to eat?"

Ai Youwei reacted slowly, and he didn't understand for a long time.

Wu Jin was a little anxious when he saw it, if the maid of the Hou Mansion was so stupid, she would have sold it a long time ago. Happy, you girl has a good life, it's the eldest lady with you!

He vomited in his heart, and he still looked kind and pleasant on the surface: "Ai girl, look, the eldest lady has eaten with the master for the first time, and she always wants to get a few things she likes to eat, right?" ”

Wu Yan had never eaten with her father.

Ai Youwei actually understood, but she couldn't tell what the girl liked to eat, when she wasn't as busy as she is now, the girl would cook by herself from time to time, and the dishes she made were what others liked to eat. She also asked the girl what she liked to eat the most, but every time the girl said: anything. That is, there is nothing I particularly like, and there is nothing I particularly dislike, how can this go back to Steward Wu?

"Uh...... Yes...... Braised pork, stir-fried fat sausage, pop-fried kidney flower, spicy rabbit, braised pig's trotters, braised fish, roast goose, roast chicken, roast duck ......"

The housekeeper Wu Jin was stunned, why is this eldest lady's taste so heavy?
