In the middle of the night, Zhou Qiang'er only felt a little stuffy, in order not to disturb Ma Jin, she got up from his arms lightly, only wrapped a middle coat and came to the window, stretched out her hand and gently pushed open the gilded palace window.

Looking at Ying Yingyue hanging in the air in a daze, she remembered her father's ardent expectations, and remembered His Majesty's earnest words during the day, and her eyes couldn't help but be stained with a little sadness.

Early the next morning, Ma Jin got up late, had breakfast under Zhou Qiang'er's service, and left Fengming Palace.

On the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Ma Jin kept reminding himself that this kind of thing should be controlled in the future, otherwise this body really can't stand it, and he can't be young and unexpensive, if he breaks his body, he won't be able to do anything in the future.

Back at the Palace of Heart Cultivation, Ma Jin instructed Wang Chengen, who was following him: "Go and find a few adults in the cabinet, I have something to discuss with them." ”

What Ma Jin wants to say is naturally about the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the establishment of such a huge yamen, it is reasonable to notify the cabinet, and at the same time, they need to cooperate, otherwise I don't know that the Year of the Monkey can only be established.

On the surface, this internal affairs office is more about managing the affairs of the inner court, and has little to do with the outer court, and after the separation of the inner court and the outer court is completed, the cabinet will be more relaxed.

As for the future development of the Internal Affairs Office, others don't know, but Ma Jin, who crossed over, knows very well that the Internal Affairs Office is a fierce monster, and once it is released, it will definitely scare everyone.

Especially with the strong blessing of his own emperor, the Internal Affairs Office will definitely become a terrifying existence.

In the history of the previous life, the development of the Qing Dynasty's internal affairs office was already very scary.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs was a unique institution in the Qing Dynasty, with thousands of officials, ten times more than the number of households with the most heavy affairs, and it could be said to be the largest administrative organ in the Qing Dynasty, which was involved in almost all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation in the Qing Dynasty.

In the imperial city, all the expenses of the emperor and the harem concubines are also undertaken by the internal affairs government, and there are 7 divisions and 3 courtyards directly under the jurisdiction of the internal affairs government, with seven divisions and 3 courtyards, including Guangchu, Duyu, Zhangyi, accounting, construction, Shenxing, and Qingfeng, which are respectively in charge of palace finance, storage, guards, mountain collection, etiquette, Huangzhuang tax, engineering, punishment, animal husbandry and so on.

In addition, there is also a Upper Courtyard to manage the imperial horses, forage yards, horse farms, etc.

There is an armament institute responsible for the collection and storage of royal halogen books, armor and horse harness, weapons and ordnance, military supplies and so on.

There is a Fengchen Garden in charge of the housekeeping, repair, construction and other matters of the garden, which is collectively known as the Seven Divisions and Three Courtyards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also directly manages more than 30 affiliated institutions throughout the country, such as the Weaving Office and the Salt and Railway Transportation Division.

The Honorable Chamber, which was also responsible for managing the eunuchs, the palace maids, and all the affairs of the palace, was also under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Internal Affairs.

It can be said that as long as you want to use the Internal Affairs Office to do things, there is no place where the tentacles of the Internal Affairs Office cannot reach, whether it is more sensitive salt or iron, or other things in various places, as long as the Internal Affairs Office wants to intervene, you can find a name.

Therefore, this is a very large yamen, and at the same time, it is also a yamen that the emperor can decide with a word, and it is not like what the court wants to do, and he always has to take into account the feelings of the ministers.

After a while, the five eldest grandsons of the cabinet, Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Di Renjie, Kou Zhun, and Xu Jin, came to the Palace of Heart Cultivation.

"Your Majesty!" After entering the hall, they saluted Ma Jin in unison.

Ma Jin said with a warm face: "Everyone, Aiqing is exempt!" ”

After a few people stood up, Ma Jin said: "I brought you Aiqing here today, in fact, there is one thing I want to discuss with you, I plan to set up a new yamen."

As soon as a few people heard that Ma Jin was going to set up a new yamen, their spirits instantly became nervous, and they thought in their hearts that it would be difficult for His Majesty to make any big moves, who made Ma Jin's actions too frequent during this time, so that they couldn't cope with it.

Ma Jin didn't look at their faces at all, but said directly: "The yamen I plan to set up is called the Internal Affairs Office, which is a yamen in charge of the affairs of the inner court, and it has nothing to do with the outer court. ”

Hearing Ma Jin say that this new yamen only manages the affairs of the inner court and does not involve the affairs of the outer court, several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"As for this Ministry of Internal Affairs, I plan to set up a Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with the same rank as the six ministers; There are four deputy ministers in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with the same rank as the six ministers. ”

"For the candidates?" Ma Jin paused here and continued:

"The post of Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I am willing to be held by Lanling Bo Zhouzong, as for the deputy governor? I intend to appoint a deputy imperial envoy to serve as one of the deputy governors of the Imperial Court, and your cabinet will discuss it to see who is suitable, and report it to me. ”

"Honors, obey the holy command!" Seeing that Ma Jin asked them to recommend a candidate, the five of them hurriedly accepted the order.

"Hmmm! I have thought about it for a few days, and in the future, the inner court will only have nine divisions, including the Celebrant Supervisor, the Qin Tianjian Supervisor, the Internal Affairs Office, the Internal Guard Mansion, the Guard Office, the Tai Hospital, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Ordnance Supervisor, and the East Detective Factory, and there will be no other new yamen in the future. Ma Jin continued.

"The dozens of supervision bureaus under the existing inner court have all been merged into these nine bureaus."

"Your Majesty, I don't know what this guard is?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked with some puzzlement.

"The guard office, which is in charge of guarding the imperial city, guarding the imperial city, guarding the frame, guiding officials to meet with them, inspecting the palace access control, palace guards, guards, etc., I divide them into Lang Guards and Guards.

Lang Wei is my personal guard, and the "Imperial Guard" is divided into three classes.

First-class guards, with the same rank as third-class officers

Second-class guard, the rank is the same as that of a fourth-class officer

The third-class guard, with the same rank as the fifth-rank officer

And the guard is the Qianniuwei, and the duties are the same as before.

The guard office has one minister of the guard, and the second is the second grade; There is one person in charge of the imperial guard, who is in charge of the guard, and is the third product; Luan Yiwei is the minister in charge, in charge of the honor guard, and is the third product; Set up a general of Qianniuwei, in charge of the guard, is three products.

After Ma Jin's explanation, several people immediately understood, this is almost the same as the previous palace front division, but the concept of a personal guard is added, but this personal guard is really extraordinary? It turned out that they were all of a grade, and a few people couldn't help but think for a while, if they could let their juniors enter the guards...

"Zhong Aiqing, what do you think? Can you have any objections? Ma Jin didn't wait for the five of them to think about it, and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers think that it is better to ask Your Majesty to dictate the Sacred Heart, this is a matter of the inner court, and it is really not good for the ministers to interfere!" At this time, Di Renjie suddenly stepped forward and spoke.

"The ministers think that what Elder Di Ge said is extremely true, please ask Your Majesty to make a decision:!" The other four looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"A few Aiqing, it's good if there is no objection." Ma Jin said with a smile.

"If there is nothing else, a few Aiqing will go down and get busy first" Ma Jin saw that the matter was finished, so he directly opened his mouth to drive people away.

"Wait for the resignation!"

After the five of them left, Ma Jin stood up and walked outside the hall to move his muscles.

The warm breeze was blowing, Ma Jin's mood was now very good, he glanced at Wang Chengen, who was standing not far away, and ordered: "Go and find Gao Lishi for me." ”

Speaking of which, since he summoned Colliers, he really hasn't had a few words with Colliers.

Hearing Ma Jin's order, Wang Chengen didn't dare to slack off, turned around and trotted to deliver the decree.

Hearing the emperor's summons, Gao Lishi hurriedly came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, followed Wang Chengen into the hall and knelt on the ground, and saluted respectfully: "The old slave sees Your Majesty." ”

"Alright, get up!" Ma Jin waved his hand with a smile.

"There's one thing I want you to do." Ma Jin didn't talk nonsense and commanded directly.

Gao Lishi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect His Majesty to have something for him to do.

Ma Jin didn't go to see Gao Lishi, but turned to Wang Chengen and said, "Show him the statute of the Internal Affairs Office." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen answered, walked to the side of the bookcase, took a copy of the music and handed it to Gao Lishi's hand, and then bowed and retreated to the side.

"Let's see." Ma Jin said casually.

After taking the booklet respectfully, Colliers quickly flipped through it.

This is a detailed description of the charter for the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and after taking a look at the contents, Gao Lishi knows how important this Ministry of Internal Affairs is.

This internal affairs office is simply the chief of the inner court, with very great power, and at the same time, it can also connect the outside of the palace and the palace, which can be compared with the celebrant and the celebrant supervisor.

Gao Lishi didn't know why Ma Jin showed him this charter, he thought of a possibility in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.

"I'm going to hand over the Internal Affairs Office to you to take care of, and besides you, my father-in-law will also go to the Internal Affairs Office to take up a post, are you willing?"

Gao Lishi was naturally willing, and immediately knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "The old slave is willing to do his best for His Majesty." ”

"That's fine." Ma Jin nodded and said, "I will appoint you as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the deputy head of the internal affairs department, and assist the national abbot in handling the affairs of the internal affairs department!" ”

"The old slave commands!" Colliers clasped his head and thanked him.

"Okay, you go and get busy, first put up the shelves of the Internal Affairs Office for me.

By the way, there are more things to ask the queen for in the future! Ma Jin waved his hand and said, and then gave another instruct.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the old slave understands." Colliers agreed, bowed, and walked outside.

After arranging everything, Ma Jin said to Wang Chengen: "Let's go, go to the queen." ”

When Ma Jin came to Fengming, Zhou Qiang'er had been waiting for him for a long time.

After seeing Ma Jin, Zhou Qiang'er rushed directly to Ma Jin like a milk swallow throwing herself into the forest, her face was slightly red, and she looked at Ma Jin with big eyes, still looking out of breath.
