Except for the first of the four major military and political affairs performed by the head of the royal secretariat, Liu Xianjun, who was involved in the British attempt to reorganize the 5th to 9th Divisions of the Expeditionary Force, the other three political affairs were approved by His Majesty and decreed to be carried out.

After the recital, Liu Xianjun retreated and came to a three-story building located outside the palace, just across the street from the palace, which was very convenient to come and go.

This is the daily office of the Royal Secretariat, and it is a small baroque building with 8 rooms, and more than 220 people of the Royal Secretariat are crammed into the office here.

Only Liu Xianjun, the head of the secretariat, has a separate small office, with an area of more than 10 square meters, and the other deputy directors and the first-level secretary who can meet His Majesty and serve him are all three or four people crowded into a room.

As for the second- and third-level secretaries, the secretaries and assistants of the lower levels are often more than 20 people in a large office, only the telegraph group has two separate rooms, the telegraph group office and computer room are also on the third floor, and the secrecy level is the same level as the office of the director and deputy director (including the first secretary).

Perform in the palace

Although Liu Xianjun has long been accustomed to going back and forth every day, he can always feel the heavy pressure, maybe it is His Majesty's Yu Wei, maybe it is the three-headed beast that is always staring, or maybe it is something else.

After going out

Liu Xianjun let out a long sigh of relief, the pressure on his body suddenly decreased, and he just walked to the door of the secretariat office building with brisk steps, when he was stopped by a soldier and several middle-aged people in youth clothes.

"Liu Gongbao has worked hard, I'm waiting for this courtesy."

The Tang Kingdom is dominated by Tang people from China, so it has inherited many Chinese officialdom etiquette and customs, and this officialdom title is one of them.

The honorific title of "Gong Bao" comes from the Ming Dynasty when the minister who added the crown prince Taibao, and in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was generally no prince, from Shunzhi to Kangxi were Mi Zhao succession, and the successive emperors in the future were also like this, and this just gave the Empress Dowager Cixi the opportunity to get her hands on it.

This is off-topic.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty generally gave the Son of Heaven a close minister or a local governor to add the title of prince Taibao, and the prince Shaobao titled "Ding Gongbao" and "Yuan Gongbao".

The Tang Kingdom does not have such a position, but the head of the secretariat is an out-and-out internal minister, a close minister of the king, and it is okay to be called "palace guard".

Just like the prime minister of the cabinet can be honored as "Lord Zhongtang", in fact, the Tang Kingdom does not have scholars, nor does it have a military aircraft department position similar to Zhongtang, but the status is similar.

In the same way, Viscount Huang Yuanqing, Minister of Finance, Count Chen Cailiang, Minister of Economy, Viscount Gai Wangshan, Minister of the Interior, Count Juan Carlos, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron Dong Jie, Minister of Colony, Viscount Huang Yuanjia, Minister of Communications, and other important cabinet members can all be called "ministers of the court".

Liu Xianjun, the secretary general of the royal family, glanced at these people with a dignified expression, and saw that they were all familiar faces, nothing more than middle and upper-level bureaucrats of the Army Staff Headquarters, the Colonial Department, and the Ministry of Economy, and the reason for waiting here was self-evident.

He nodded copisively and said; "How many ministers are here?"

"The stakes are very high, Lord Ministry is waiting on the 3rd floor, please move to talk about it, I will wait for Gong to welcome late, please atone for your sins."

"Well, the office up there is small, so please serve tea in the foyer."

"Thank you, Lord Miyaho, for your generous kindness."

"Well, wait a minute."

Liu Xianjun only showed the majesty of the king's close ministers at this time, as the saying goes, "the prime minister's family Ding Qipin official".

He, the secretary general of the royal family, is equal to the chief steward of the royal court, and has jurisdiction over the secretariat of more than 500 people, the treasury and the royal family fund and many other institutions.

Liu Xianjun walked in from the gate, and the bureaucrats and secretaries he saw along the way flashed on both sides, bowing their hands respectfully and greeting him;

"Humble and respectful."

"Humble to the palace guard."

These bureaucrats have different identities and different titles, and some high-ranking officials and first-level secretaries are close to each other by calling them "seated", and Liu Xianjun will bow his head slightly.

His Majesty often has such actions during the imperial meeting, so the close ministers around him have learned the same way, and their demeanor has learned seven or eight points.

Those with low official positions should be called "Lord Gongbao" to show respect, and Liu Xianjun had no time to pay attention to these little miscellaneous fish, and strode directly up the stairs.

Hearing a chaotic sound at the staircase, Lieutenant General Dai Changfu, Chief of Staff of the Army, Earl Chen Cailiang, Minister of Economy, and Baron Dong Jie, Minister of Colony, greeted them and stood at the top of the staircase waiting for Liu Xianjun to come up.

After seeing it, the three of them clasped their fists with smiling faces and said with a smile; "A few of us have already drunk two pots of tea from you, just to wait for Lord Gongbao, my lord has worked hard."

"Boss, the ministry is polite, I don't have good hospitality here, please forgive me." Liu Xianjun stepped forward and saluted without being humble or arrogant, and then turned his head and commanded; "Make a pot of hot coffee, and have some snacks and cigars, and I'm going to talk to you gentlemen."

"Yes, and it will be delivered immediately."

"Come on, come on, please all of you come and sit inside." Liu Xianjun greeted warmly.

In the entire royal secretariat, there is only a small reception room outside the director's office, about 8 square meters. There are two sofas facing each other, a coffee table in the middle, and a few pots of plants next to them, which can only seat five or six people at most.

According to the rules of the Tang Kingdom;

It is not allowed to submit a petition for a new year's birthday, and it is prudent to use the party's impeachment and recommendation for the party's disagreement, and the petition submitted to the imperial review must be a major matter of the state and have something to say.

In this way, His Majesty will have 90% less amount of recitals to review, and he can concentrate his energy on the major national affairs that need to be handled.

The impeachment is not a failure, but the impeachment requires a huge risk, and one of the two must be overthrown.

If it is an exaggeration, the minister is suspected of retaliating against his colleagues, beggar-thy-neighbor, and he will not be able to run away from the charge of a mediocre old man who knows no one else, and must be transferred from his current post to be involved.

Those who are degraded and demoted and used in the lightest, and those who are degraded in their posts and are convicted of crimes, are the tragic tricks of life and death in the political struggle.

If the situation is verified to be true, then the impeached officials will be miserable, and the ministers who played the impeachment recital will naturally make meritorious contributions, but it will also make the bureaucracy avoid it.

Officialdom pays attention to "living with the light and dust", and taking out the "impeachment recital" at every turn will kill you and me, who can't hide far away after watching it?

The same is true for recommending and referring, whether the recommended officials do well or not, the recommending minister must bear the corresponding responsibility, and making a big oolong will affect his own career.

Lieutenant General Dai Changfu and other ministers wrote the book in person, all of which were important matters in the headquarters, so after sitting down, he looked at Director Liu Xianjun with eager eyes, hoping to get an answer from him as soon as possible.

Director Liu Xianjun was also helpless, he smiled bitterly and said; "Today, I petitioned the Imperial Court for 4 things, and Your Majesty approved 3 of them, but this matter of the general seat is a little troublesome, and Your Majesty is not very satisfied with the detention of the British!"

"Oh, please elaborate on it." Lieutenant General Dai Changfu's eyes lit up, his body couldn't help but lean forward, and he hurriedly asked.

As the head of the Army General Staff Headquarters, he also coveted the elite officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force who had been baptized by the bloody war in Europe, and he was eager to take them for himself.

Everybody knows

It is better to train for a year than to go to the battlefield for a week, and under the battlefield test of life and death, officers and men will undergo rapid transformation.

The more brutal the war, the more it can train people.

Since the Battle of the Chernaya River, the expeditionary force of the Tang Kingdom flew over the snow-capped mountains, killing and wounding 47,900 Russian troops and capturing 16,600 enemies at the cost of more than 10,000 casualties.

Since then, he has participated in more than 10 battles in a row, successively conquered Odessa, Yamiansk and other important towns, won many battles, played the morale and prestige of the Tang Kingdom, and won many victories in attacking the city, showing the strength of the first-class army in France and Europe.

Every one of these elite officers and men is a good seed, and when they come back and enter the military academy for training, the new army formed with this as the backbone is an iron lump that cannot be broken or smashed, and it has the foundation of a world-class and strong army.

Liu Xianjun saw that Lieutenant General Dai Changfu was in a hurry, so he made a gesture of calming down, but he didn't sell it, so he truthfully described His Majesty's meaning.

"Hahaha...... Hahahaha...... It's really worthy of Your Majesty, hahahaha......" Lieutenant General Dai Changfu looked up to the sky and laughed when he heard this, and his smug expression couldn't be stopped.

This trick of "drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle" is really wonderful!

The British wanted troops from the 5th and 9th Divisions, and officers and non-commissioned officers with great combat experience, as well as veterans with excellent performance, were all drawn out to replenish a large number of new soldiers.

Not to mention

The Army General Staff Headquarters will also make some small moves in private, such as the ratio of about 1/4 as His Majesty said, and it is normal for it to fluctuate up and down during implementation.

Wouldn't it be good for the officers and men of the 1st to 4th Divisions, who had not performed well in the war, to take this opportunity to adjust and make more space for elite veterans?

On the one hand, he is a son, and on the other hand, he is adopted, and now the British will have to go back at any time, so it is natural to choose how to choose.

When I got to the expeditionary force, I am afraid that he would try his best to put all the good soldiers in his arms, and there would be no good goods left for the British.

In the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the officers and men naturally performed well and badly, and after the bloody baptism of the European war, the commanders at all levels naturally knew what they were doing with their officers and soldiers.

So collectively digging up the corners of the wall is not ordinary.

"Lord Zongza, I think you just care about it, now the holy monarch is in the court, the temple is thousands of miles away, and the world is like a view of the pattern in the palm of your hand, when did Your Majesty ever do a loss-making business?" Director Liu Xianjun said with a smile.

Lieutenant General Dai Changfu pointed out the careful thoughts in his heart, but he was not embarrassed, and he clasped his hands into fists and saluted in the direction of the palace;

"How can we be compared to the Holy Monarch? The British ghost is not authentic, and the army that has been trained hard by the military department says that it will be taken away, am I not worried? ”

"You let all the ministers take a look, are you worrying about the sky?"

"Hahaha...... I admit this, thank you Liu Gongbao for your hard work, I Lao Dai wrote down this love, and there are two catties of good tea sent from Shenzhou all the way to the house, and I will let people send it to the house after I go back, please smile. ”

"It's deserved, but it's disrespectful, hahaha......" Director Liu Xianjun also laughed.

It is not advisable for the minister of the inner court to be very close to the important members of the military department in private, let alone marry, and must pay attention to all aspects of influence, otherwise, what do the two want to do when they collude?

But with a bag of tea, it's still fine.
