In the southern suburbs of Yacheng, outside the mound, there is a service garden.

Sacrifices of all sizes, step by step, step by step, must not be exceeded. That's why the ritual is the most time-consuming.

In addition to the gift of heaven and earth, when the emperor knows the destiny of heaven, he must also be grateful to God and listen to the edict. The gift of the inherent destiny of heaven and earth.

After burning the sacrificial text and offering sacrifices, Chen Xiao returned to the service garden, changed out of the dragon robe, and changed into a gown. At this stall, the accompanying people can rest in the garden. A group of powerful people gathered together, and it was rare that there were no worries about official business, and the atmosphere was also happy.

The right prime minister Pang Gong has white hair, but he is tall and energetic, without a trace of old age, but the sharpness on his body is sharper than that of many young people. He sat there, not angry.

On the contrary, Zuo Xiang Ji Yu is diametrically opposed to Pang Gong in terms of figure and demeanor. He was short and stocky, resembling Maitreya Buddha. And his temper is also notoriously mild, with a smile on his face all day long, and rarely when he gets angry. As the saying goes, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, and this sentence is used on Ji Kui, I am afraid it couldn't be more appropriate.

Don't look at the two completely opposite personalities, but they can cooperate seamlessly and complement each other in political affairs. Pang Gong's ability to lead the reform is indispensable for Ji Kui's cooperation. If you break it down, both of them are actually reformers, but Pang Gong likes to make drastic moves, while Ji Kui prefers to take it step by step.

Both the left and right are reformers, but Da Shen Gou is an out-and-out conservative, Gou or from a scholarly family, three generations of officials in the family, and has a high reputation among the scholars. Both poetry and scripture have high attainments. He can achieve his current position, aside from his own ability, in fact, there are also considerations of Emperor Chen Xiao's mental skills. Reform is possible, but it must not deflect the balance. Therefore, Gou Or, as a symbol of the fight with the reformers, was single-handedly promoted to his current position by Chen Xiao.

The three of them are now in charge of the political affairs hall and are in charge of six departments, and they are the ministers of today's great humerus and humerus.

Under the political hall, there are six departments: officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, each of whom is in charge of business according to its duties. Each of the six departments has one Shangshu and two waiters. There are also officials such as Lang Zhong and Lang Wai Lang.

The officials are in charge of the system of selecting the rank and rank, the method of deposing the class, the canon of the award, and the method of determining the final system. Ningpan, the secretary of the ministry, his Ning word, is the Ning of the Ning family of Shengzhou, the first Ning family in the world. In terms of generation, he is Ning Zhixuan, Ning Xibai's uncle, in other words, Ning Zhitong's grandfather. However, Ning Pan gained fame early, first served in Shengzhou, then transferred to Lingzhou, and finally took root in Yacheng. Because of this, he is a little estranged from Shengzhou's own family.

However, on the Ning family's side, the focus is still on business, and there is not much contact with Ning Pan. Most of the disciples of the Ning family are in business, and when they arrived at Ning Xibai's generation, they also made a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes. As for the officialdom, there must be contact, but Ning Pan is in the Ministry of Officials, and he has never introduced the children of the Ning family into the officialdom. This is also the reason why Chen Xiao is relieved that he is in the ministry. Above the court, Ning Pan is as steady as a rock.

The household department is in charge of the territory, the land, the household register, the taxation, the salary, and all financial matters, and is the most important of the six departments. If the other five ministries want to use the public treasury, they all have to go through the household department. Peng Fuding, the head of the household, looked the most majestic, and even more imposing than the privy envoy general Bai Fan. Peng Fuding is Chen Xiao's confidant who has been cultivated since the time of the prince.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of ceremonial affairs, schools, and imperial examinations. It is used for the five rites of Kaoji, Jia, military, guest and fierce. Today's ceremony was presided over by Wu Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Shengna was Wu Yuan's daughter.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the national defense, the selection and appointment of military attachés, and the conduct of drills. On the surface, the military department has the responsibility of commanding the troops. However, because the military power of this dynasty has always been in the hands of the Privy Council, the existence of the military department has always been a little embarrassing. The Xuanyuan Army in the north, the Qinglian Army in the East, the plain army in the west, and the ground army in the south, these four border armies, which accounted for eighty percent of the troops, were all under the command of the Privy Council. The only thing that the military department can mobilize is a part of the Wuji army.

Under such circumstances, the existence of the military department has become more of a constraint on military power. At least after Pang Gong's reform, the nominal appointment of military attachés and the reward for meritorious deeds were all in the name of the military department. Moreover, the most important thing is that the grain and grass pass, after the household department is mobilized, must be issued by the military department.

Under such circumstances, the candidate for the post of secretary of the Ministry of War has also become very interesting. said that if you want to restrict the military power, it will definitely not work with the king's lineage. Strictly speaking, the Jiangmen family, with a military background, is not good. Relationships are involved, and God knows who will be strung with whom?

On the other hand, civil officials who do not know how to conduct the army are even more impossible. Literati and martial artists have already had differences. The literati said that the martial arts were rude, and the martial artists were sarcastic and pedantic. It's all a cliché. If this military department is really a civilian official, I am afraid that it will be a bad thing.

As a result, now this competent secretary of the military department, Gu Bin, was born in the Military War Department of the Martial Arts Academy, and he also mixed in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and has a background in the rivers and lakes. What is even more commendable is that he is proficient in poetry, calligraphy and the art of war, and can be regarded as an all-rounder.

However, he has a lot of experience and little qualifications. Among the six Shangshu, young is the lightest. If it weren't for the assistance of two old fritter squires, I'm afraid the military department would not have run smoothly.

The Criminal Department is in charge of the national penal decree and the examination of criminal names, and is in charge of the world's criminal prisons. It is worth mentioning that after the Grandmaster Hall was transferred to the Criminal Department as the Jianghu Division, the force of the Criminal Department was unprecedentedly strong. It's just that the Jianghu Division can only be mobilized if Chen Xiao speaks. Otherwise, those arrests in the Criminal Department will be fast, and they can rest.

Nowadays, there is a good story in the Criminal Department, and that is a double master. Guo Yingjie, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Guo Qiuyue, the right attendant, are father and son, Guo Yingjie is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, and his son Guo Qiuyue is also capable of this position.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Engineering is in charge of the affairs of the national project. The system of civil construction, the use of utensils, the method of ditch weir dredging, and the mausoleum for 100 million yuan. All civil engineering, water conservancy projects, ordnance, mining and metallurgy, textiles and other government-run industries in the country are all taken care of. These rights and responsibilities are not small. And there are a lot of large and small positions. There is also a lot of oil and water in it. It can be said that it is the department with the most oil and water in addition to the household department.

Tao Chengnai, the uncle of the dynasty, occupied the position of a squire, and he was also an important position such as the ordnance supervisor. As for Shangshu Li Yuan, like Peng Fuding, he is also Chen Xiao's confidant.

The three governors of the political affairs hall, plus six Shangshu, are the ministers of half of the society, and the other half are the second envoy of the Privy Council, the general Bai Fan, and the hussar general Guo Yunyun. Compared with the complexity of the civil service, the Privy Council is limited and simple.

This simplicity is established on the side of each town of the five armies of Dazhen, each doing its own thing. On weekdays, there is a set of rules to act, and if it is an urgent matter, it will be reported to the Privy Council, and then decided.

The room full of important ministers of the court did not talk about military and political affairs in the room of Shiyuan. On the contrary, their topic is very light-hearted.

Ji Kui took the lead, and they chatted about the congratulatory gifts prepared for His Majesty. "The gift list has been submitted to the Ministry of Rites for review, right? Nakaki, tell our colleagues which one is the most precious now?"

Zhongmu is the word of Wu Yuan, 枰, Ping Zhongmu also. The word Zhongmu is also very compatible. "The gift list has been recorded, Your Majesty's birthday, and all parties have offered a lot of treasures. I won't talk about gold, silver, jewelry, etc., it's too vulgar. Wu Yu said, laughing. "On the gift list, there are really a few good ones. ”

"Oh, as far as I know, this time it was sent by the palace side by side, and it is related to the north. Lord Wu has responsibilities, so it is inconvenient to say more. Gu Bin looked at Bai Fan and Guo Yunyun. "I wonder if the two generals have any news to reveal?"

Guo Yunyun grinned, "It's not a good thing, but it's a thing to add color to the banquet." I've heard that the king of Dongshan County has prepared a gift that is too big to be taken out at the dinner?"

"Eh, how did I hear that the royal gift of the county is also a sacrifice, which is used to pray to God and bless the great man. I'm going to take it out in a moment. Nakaki, let's talk about the great gift of the king of Higashiyama first. Ji said with a smile.

Wu Yu paused slightly, and said: "This gift is not specifically explained, the king of the county is afraid that he wants to make a blockbuster, so he keeps it secret." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a bell rang outside the door.

Pang Gong, who closed his eyes and recuperated, stood up from his chair and tidied up the crown of his robe. "It's time, guys, it's time for us to get out. ”
