Lu Zhengyuan and Xue Qing exchanged cups and drank until dawn, naturally they were very drunk.

Mr. Xue, the Minister of Household Affairs, was rarely absent from duty, and the courtiers felt that Mr. Xue might be avoiding suspicion.

After all, the Lu Mansion was deserted yesterday, but the Xue Mansion was bustling with people. They all had a premonition that this would lead to party strife...

Everything is allowed to exist in the Daning court, but cliques are not allowed. Although different political opinions are unavoidable, they must be consistent in the goal of making Daning stronger!

Master Xue avoids suspicion, perhaps to show that he has no such intention...

Two days later, a court meeting was held.

The courtiers all knew that this was the emperor's practice. When he returned from a foreign tour, he would convene a court meeting.

This court meeting is also the most frightening. The ministers will explain their funeral arrangements before leaving home, because if they don't guarantee it, they won't be able to go back...

"The Southern Dynasty has been pacified and Daning has returned to stability. I hope you can abandon your distracting thoughts and work hard to make Daning strong and prosperous!"

Guan Ning's words made everyone feel a little relieved. After all, His Majesty had already killed the people who deserved to be killed in Jianghuai. Even the rebels could tolerate it and the guilty ministers could stay in office. What does it have to do with them?

"I have been away from Beijing for several months and have not listened to your thoughts. I wonder if you have anything to report?"

Guan Ning felt that he should also listen to the courtiers' advice. He could not listen to all of them, but he had to listen to them all. At least, he should make the courtiers feel that he was an emperor who obeyed his advice fluently.

However, this seems to be difficult to change. He has not presided over the government for a long time, but he still really feels the fear of the courtiers towards him...

Look at the official in the second row of the tenth row of civil servants. He keeps his head lowered and his legs seem to be shaking.

"Jiang Xing, what do you have to say?"

The official named Jiang Xing was so excited that he knelt down without even leaving his desk.

"Your Majesty... I am reporting back to Your Majesty... I have no words of advice."

See this scene.

Guan Ning was speechless.

He just asked casually, why is he so frightened?

He should have walked out of the class first, but now he was so frightened that he was speechless...

Why is this so?

Guan Ning then asked: "Are you having a ghost in your heart? Or have you done something wrong?"

"I... return to Your Majesty... I have nothing wrong with you, I just..."

"Go back to class."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Guan Ning's face was expressionless, but her heart was extremely helpless.

This Jiang Xing is a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his authority is not low. Although he made a fool of himself, no one laughed at him, which shows that others can understand his state of mind.

When he looked at other people, they had no intention of admonishing him.

Guan Ning thought that being blocked was not a good thing. No matter it was good or bad, someone had to give advice...

I don’t seem to be killing people on a killing spree lately!

Guan Ning is still reviewing.

Although he killed some in the Southern Dynasty, they were all rebels. He only severely punished the traitor leader. The other accomplices were considered merciful, and more of them were left in office after their crimes were committed. Isn't this mercy?

Murong Sheng's case of colliding with the enemy originally implicated many people, but he ordered to stop it and not to implicate too many people. Isn't this kindness?

Guan Ning asked himself, he had changed a lot and had not been in Beijing for a long time. How could he be so powerful?

But what he didn't know was that the courtiers now knew how terrible he was.

As the king of a country, he planned a rebellion against himself. Isn't this terrible?

In order to achieve the goal, he will not compromise the means, and his calculations and calculations are truly unfathomable.

In front of important ministers, His Majesty is like an endless abyss, the bottom of which is difficult to reach.

It's really unintentional.

Guan Ning didn't expect it to be like this, it was just too much Lao Liu...

It's just that this is really not good, and we need to find a way to change it.

Well, I should ask again if there are any suggestions. If the suggestions are similar, I should directly agree.

Let them know that they are willing to listen to advice.

"Who else has a talent?"

This was originally what Xing'an wanted to ask, but he asked it himself.

In fact, after so many years, courtiers have long been accustomed to the fact that court meetings have become a place for announcing government rather than a place for discussing government.

It was not that the courtiers had no suggestions, but they all voted for the General Affairs Department.

Guan Ning established the General Affairs Department in order to receive the opinions of the world. Local reports, courtiers' advice, and public opinions could all be sent to the General Affairs Department.

The General Affairs Department divides the matters into categories and submits them to the cabinet based on priority. They are first processed by the cabinet and approved by the cabinet, and then transferred to the six ministries and government agencies, or distributed to local governments.

Of course, the results and handling strategies of the cabinet must be approved by the emperor. If the cabinet cannot make a decision, it will be decided by the emperor.

It can be seen from this that the status of the General Affairs Department is rising year by year, and anyone who has experience in serving in the General Affairs Department will not be inferior.

Unfortunately, due to Murong Sheng's involvement, the General Administration Department had already undergone a major change of leadership, and he had gone astray.

Being able to put him in this position shows that Guan Ning places great importance on him, but he is just too greedy to swallow the elephant.

The current chief of the General Affairs Department is Li Fu, who was transferred back from the local area. From a military general to a cabinet minister, Li Fu can be regarded as a legend...

After Guan Ning asked, there was still a moment of silence, and then someone stood up.

Wu Cheng, the imperial envoy responsible for supervising Jiangzhou.
