Chapter 1565 This is not going to court but to a grave
Hear this.
Lu Zhengyuan looked slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "You are worthy of being a follower of Mr. Fei. You have learned a lot."
"You're right, I'm obsessed with it."
Lu Zhengyuan shook his head and said: "Since I came to Daning, I have never been able to settle down. When my whole family came to Daning, and when I thought about how Liang Guo has become like this, I always..."
Hu Biao comforted him: "Don't think so much. The general trend of the world is irreversible. You should be glad that you didn't stay in the Liang Kingdom. The Zhengtong Emperor was a short-lived emperor. When Emperor Tianshun came to the throne, you will be liquidated. It's good to be the emperor like this."
?”
"That's right."
Lu Zhengyuan said loudly: "Don't think about this anymore, I will be a Daning person from now on!"
"No, there will be no Liang people, no Wei people, only Ning people!"
"Then I will rely on Mr. Lu from now on."
"Ha ha!"
The laughter of the two echoed in the room.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The next day, it was still dark.
The vendors who came out of the morning market had just started to play with their things when they saw officials walking in a hurry on the street. Some were trotting, some were walking quickly, and some were adjusting their official uniforms.
At the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, Guan Ning canceled the system of daily morning dynasty. In his opinion, it was a complete waste of time.
After a little delay, the whole morning passed.
Few people can accomplish great things.
Nothing can be accomplished with too many people.
The early dynasty was changed to a court meeting, but in fact it was not a meeting, it just became a communication.
Naturally, many officials were dissatisfied with this change and were deprived of their rights.
But when I met a strong emperor, since I couldn't change, I had to adapt...
After the war broke out, the number of court meetings was even fewer, and even His Majesty was often absent from Beijing.
What is surprising is that even so, the government is not chaotic, but more organized...
This shows that the reform of officialdom and the reform of imperial yamen are effective!
They are already very unfamiliar with the court proceedings, but they are not without awe...
Every time His Majesty comes back, officials are killed!
In fact, this is understandable.
Having been away from Beijing for such a long time, the emperor's majesty has been damaged, so he needs to set up the imperial court again.
This has become a common practice.
The officials walked in a hurry and looked solemn. Even if they knew each other, they would not say hello.
This surprised the common people. This was not a morning visit, but a grave visit!
It's already dawn.
When the time came, the palace doors opened wide. Under the guidance of the eunuchs, the officials lined up in two rows, entered the palace one by one, and then came to the square in front of Fengtian Hall to wait.
In fact, Guan Ning has canceled many etiquette procedures, which are actually much more complicated than this...
Put people first and govern with humanity.
The square in front of Fengtian Temple has not been so lively for a long time. There are many people, but no one is talking and there is no noise.
After a great victory, His Majesty returned to Beijing.
This should have been a joyful event, but I don’t know why these people became like this?
Even conversations are in whispers.
Until now, they are still introspecting themselves to see if they have done anything transgressive and whether they have dealt with it cleanly after doing so...
At the front, there are several giants. What can be called giants are only the cabinet ministers!
After the establishment of the new dynasty, the cabinet became the center in the true sense, and all cabinet officials were of the same rank.
The first assistant is Gong Liangyu, the second assistant is Zhao Nanxing, the household minister Xue Qing, the imperial censor of Zuodu Zhou Ruiyuan, the military minister Fei Tian, the official minister Peng Fang... This is a new face.
Originally, Zhao Nanxing served concurrently as the Minister of Civil Affairs, but he later took over.
Peng Fang was sixty years old and was originally the governor of Lanzhou.
There are also Song Yongnian, the Minister of Rites, and Wang Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Historically, among the six ministries, the Queen of the Ministry of Industry had the lowest status, but Guan Ning set a precedent, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was also named a cabinet minister.
He attaches great importance to the Ministry of Industry, which has a very high status.
In addition to these people, there are three cabinet ministers. They do not hold concurrent posts and each has its own responsibilities.
After the war broke out, the cabinet, as the center, had too many important tasks to deal with, so three more people were appointed.
Since they didn't hold concurrent positions and joined later, the three of them naturally hugged each other.
Liu Xiwen, the former governor of Jiangzhou, was promoted to the cabinet.
Jiangzhou is the most fertile state in Daning and is also known as the most promising place to become an official.
The second assistant, Zhao Nanxing, was the prefect of Jiangzhou.
There is another person named Murong Sheng, who is in his fifties and is the chief official of the General Affairs Department.
The General Affairs Department receives memorials from the Beijing Yamen and various places, and has great powers.
Murong Sheng is the youngest among the cabinet officials. He has a great future, but he is a bit arrogant.
In addition to these two people, there was another person named Wang Ji. He had the lowest sense of presence in the cabinet and was followed by Murong Sheng.
With these cabinet giants in front, no one else dared to get close, except for the military and aircraft ministers on the other side!
The Minister of Military and Aircraft has an official rank of the first rank and is on the same level as the Cabinet Minister.
Daning implemented the separation of military and political affairs.
The Minister of Military and Aircraft is aloof from the Tiance Mansion. During wartime, all military orders are issued by the Tiance Mansion.
Over the years, a complete mechanism has been formed.
Lu Zhengyuan served in the General Affairs Department, and his authority was not small. He was the doctor of the Yamen under the General Affairs Department, and his official rank was fourth rank.
In such an occasion, there are a lot of people of his level, but he has a special status and is at the forefront.
The one who was pulled to the front was Xue Qing, who was also the head of the country. The two of them were very close. Lu Zhengyuan also wanted to make friends and asked for more advice from his seniors.
This allowed Lu Zhengyuan to meet such people who he would never normally interact with.
There are some people whom he has never spoken to, but he can accurately tell their names and official positions.
Lu Zhengyuan found that Daning's official system was really... good!
Under such a system, it seems that the imperial power is divided by the cabinet, but in fact the imperial power is more concentrated!
Cabinet ministers are also called prime ministers in private, but there are so many cabinet ministers, and they all have their own powers. How can they have the power of prime ministers?
It is said that this was changed by Emperor Daning.
amazing!
"Master Lu, how do you feel about participating in the court meeting for the first time?"
At this time, a man came to him.
This person has a very fair complexion, plump ears, and large earlobes. He seems to be smiling but not smiling when he speaks. He has both an air of elegance and a sense of majesty.
This kind of person is born to be an official.
Lu Zhengyuan immediately bent down, his tone also filled with respect and compliments.
"Master Murong!"
The person in front of me is none other than the General Secretary of the General Affairs Department who has been named a cabinet minister!
He is also his direct superior.
Lu Zhengyuan's change in an instant and the respect he showed were just right, which made Murong Sheng very satisfied.
This is a smart man and a capable man.
yes!
How could someone who could predict in advance and bring his entire family to Daning be an ordinary person?
People say that Lu Zhengyuan has the shadow of Xue Huairen in him.
Didn't Xue Huairen foresee it in advance?
"Master Lu, you are the father of the country. How can I accept the gift of the father of the country when so many people are watching."
"A lower official is a lower official, and it has nothing to do with other identities."
Lu Zhengyuan quietly took a step back and kept his distance. He knew that it was not a good thing for Mr. Murong to come to him.
Chapter completed!
