My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 180 Give Liu Yishen some dignity

"The emperor who was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, the edict said: Since ancient times, benevolent monarchs have governed affairs, and those who are not good at planning and making decisions are not used... Fang Xuanling is known for his good planning, and Du Ruhui is known for his courage to make decisions..." Liu Yisui, an assistant minister in the cabinet, has no internal skills. If you have the ability to plan things and have no ability to decide things, you will not be able to put it to good use. I am allowed to serve as a minister of the Ministry of Rites. I appreciate this~"

"Your Majesty Liu Yishen accepted the order and thanked you for your kindness."

Seeing Liu Yishen raising his hands tremblingly, Liu Shimin placed the imperial edict in his hand, then rolled up his sleeves and left.

When the eunuchs of the Clerk of Ceremonies left, Liu Yishen stood up from the ground with a bitter look on his face.

Looking at Hui Shiyang and other inmates with reluctance, Liu Yishen sighed helplessly, straightened his sleeves, and followed Jin Yiwei out of the Penal Department Prison.

Lifting his head and looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, Liu Yishuo shook his head in disappointment.

The sun had just risen, but his political life was already over.

"The land of the forefathers is harvested by the next generation, and it is said that there is a fierce battle between dragons and tigers."

Finally, looking back at the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Liu Yishui got into the waiting carriage with the help of his family.

"In the past, when Yang Yongxiu went to Yongchang Guard, he must have been in such a state of despair."

In the third year of Jiajing's reign, Shizong lost patience with Yang Tinghe, and the great ceremonial incident was provoked again.

In the end, Yang Tinghe retired, and his son Yang Shen was involved in the Zuoshunmen incident and was sent to Yongchang Guards.

Reluctantly looking at Han Xu who was standing by the road to see him off, Liu Yishuo showed a bitter smile and reached out to lower the curtains.

Jin Yiwei escorted him, and the emperor's meaning was very clear.

Get out, get out quickly.

Don't stay in the capital, go back to Nanchang, Jiangxi quickly.

Looking at the carriage going south, Han Xu stood lonely on the side of the road.

There wasn't even a farewell party. Is this called respectability?

Recalling the two words Bi Ziyan wrote on the table during the internal meeting the day before yesterday, Han Xu slowly clenched his fists and then relaxed them.

Yes, it's decent.

He has been detained for four months. If it lasts longer, Liu Yishen will have already entered the gate of hell.

Liu Yishui returned to his post and returned home, in exchange for Yuan Yingtai getting a real job.

Thinking about the emperor's actions, Han Xu shook his head helplessly.

If the emperor directly communicates with the six ministries, the cabinet will be useless.

Whether Liu Yishen returns to the court or not is of little significance.

After returning to the cabinet in a lonely car, Han Xu began his daily work of drafting tickets for tea.

His main task was to draft some memorials sent from various places, mostly trivial matters.

The memorials of the six ministries in the capital were not important to the cabinet. The chief officials of each ministry presented them directly to the emperor. After the emperor approved them, they were sent to the cabinet to draw up the decree, and then to the chief ceremonial supervisor for sealing. He had no involvement.

What happened in Liaodong? Same, send it directly to the emperor.

Familiar formula, familiar taste.

After Zhu Yuanzhang deposed the prime minister, the emperor could easily hold real power as long as he was diligent in his duties.

In the early years of Emperor Shizong Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, he was more knowledgeable than the current young master. He read all the memorials himself and directly emptied the cabinet.

"This is?"

Just when Han Xu was freeing his mind and thinking wildly, Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, came to his case with a yellow silk roll.

"On the twenty-fifth of this month, the emperor will hold the official examination again in the Imperial College to select officials for Shuntian Prefecture and Tianjin Prefecture. The Ministry of Rites has issued a document to all the prefectures directly under the Northern Government, asking scholars from all over the country to come to Beijing."

With a little teasing in his eyes, Sun Ruyou looked at Han Xudao.

"I heard that Han Fu is good at calligraphy in regular script. Therefore, this announcement will trouble Han Fu."

"..."

Looking at the yellow silk handed over by Sun Ruyou, Han Xu's brows twitched fiercely.

Yes, now the cabinet is dedicated to copying things.

"Prepare pen and ink."

Turning around and giving instructions to the Secretary of the Cabinet, Han Xu stood up from behind the case and prepared to perform official duties.

Just when Sun Ruyou and Han Xu were making big-character posters in the cabinet.

In the official office of Shuntian Prefecture, a New Deal meeting was taking place.

It's like a classroom in later generations, with a big table on top and a small table on the bottom.

The initiators of the meeting were Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Yuan Shizhen, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Dong Yingju, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.

The participants were newly elected officials from the four counties. Sitting at the top, Dong Yingju was holding a manuscript and explaining the specific contents of the New Deal to the officials below.

"Currently, the main work of Shuntian Mansion is the division of each village, the appointment of village leaders, and population statistics."

"The original Five-City Military and Horse Division was abolished, and four new county inspection bureaus were established. The newly appointed directors of each county's inspection bureau must play their respective roles, strictly manage the public security of each district under their jurisdiction, and strictly prevent leaks. occur."

After turning over a page of his speech and looking at the content below, Dong Yingju continued to read, making the people below him drowsy.

“At the same time, we must also assist in completing the population registration work.”

There is a saying in later generations that a bald man will pay more taxes than a rabbit.

Although this is a joke among ordinary people, the focus is on the fun and ridicule.

But it has to be said that meetings are a very good political implementation situation. Through meetings, the purpose of communicating from top to bottom can be achieved, and the intentions and policies of the upper levels can be conveyed through meetings.

It sounds grand to say that meetings are to announce the decrees of the superior government offices, and at the same time to collect the opinions and suggestions of the lower government offices to help the superior officials obtain a reference when administering.

Another is that the venue is an important place to exercise the political abilities of civil servants.

Meeting, there must be meeting minutes.

Speaking at a meeting must be carefully considered.

After the meeting, nothing was done.

If there is a problem, don’t mention it at the meeting.

Then this official should be dismissed.

Dong Yingju is the host of today's meeting.

Zhou Yingqiu and Yuan Shizhen sat beside him.

At this time, he was taking the opportunity to drink tea and observe the officials below.

Seeing someone almost falling asleep while listening, both of them frowned unconsciously.

When they saw someone taking notes, the two of them nodded unconsciously.

After Dong Yingju adjourned the meeting for a cup of tea, the people below got up and went out to relieve themselves.

When Yuan Shizhen came back after relieving himself, Zhou Yingqiu handed him a cup of tea and whispered.

"A few days ago, His Majesty established a new propaganda department to publish the Beijing News and publicize government affairs. I was wondering if the county could also set up a branch office to take charge of this matter."

"Oh?"

Sitting down on the chair, Dong Yingju looked at Zhou Yingqiu unexpectedly.

"I heard that those who are responsible for publicity and government affairs are Jin Yiwei, right? It is not appropriate to set up a branch office in the county where Jin Yiwei intervenes."

"Of course we can't let Jin Yiwei interfere."

Hearing this, Zhou Yingqiu said softly.

"I'm thinking that I can let the eighth-level teachings do this."

"feasible."

Hearing Zhou Yingqiu's words, Yuan Shizhen beside him couldn't help but nodded and took stock.

"The tax bureau is in charge of money and food because it is in charge of accounting."

"The inspection bureau is headed by the county lieutenant, who is in charge of public security."

"The criminal name bureau is headed by the clerk, who is responsible for deciding the case."

"I think it is feasible to set up another propaganda bureau, with the teachings and edicts in charge of education and government propaganda."

"Then, how about it being written by Brother Yuan and signed by me?"

After hearing that Yuan Shizhen agreed to his proposal, Zhou Yingqiu turned to look at Yuan Shizhen and said slyly.

"How dare I take advantage of my brother?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shizhen did not take the bait.

What are you thinking if you want me to take the blame from the front?

"This matter was raised by Brother Zhou, so it should be written by Brother Zhou. I have signed it."

"I am only assisting in the promotion of the New Deal. How can I overstep my authority?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yingqiu laughed heartily, and then turned to look at Dong Yingju along with Yuan Shizhen.

"...???"
