Great Primordial: I, Huang Long, Join Western Buddhism At The Beginning!

This day is not a court meeting.

But Chongzhen rarely held a court meeting.

The main reason is that since all the ministers are here, let's just hold a court meeting.

At the beginning of the morning meeting, it was finally no longer the same reporting as in the past~.

Many ministers carefully sorted out and summarized the matters in their hands.

For example, how many officials have been promoted in the Ministry of Personnel in recent years, how many years have they been in the year of the college entrance examination, and how many years have they been in the disaster year.

How many people are there on average, how many people are by region, what are the current evaluation scores of local officials, etc.

These things, to Chongzhen, are simply like fairy sounds.

As an emperor, he has no idea about the development of his officials, or who the Ministry of Personnel is planning to promote or re-employ.

I don’t even know the problems of local officials governing the country.

This is simply a big joke.

Without the authority to manage appointments and dismissals, it is equivalent to not having control over the world.

Although everyone knows that military power is the most important.

But after taking control of the military, if you don't have the power to appoint and remove officials, then why should the officials in this world listen to you?

If I listen to you, can I be promoted?

When I become an official, isn't it just to get promoted, expand my power, and enhance the power of my family?

But you can’t give me anything, so why should I listen to you?

If the Minister of Personnel is like this, other officials naturally have no cover.

Why not the Minister of Rites?

That's because the Minister of Rites has been arrested.

Although he did not express his position yesterday, does Jin Yiwei need a reason to arrest someone?

A dignified official, he was arrested without even saying he was going to be arrested.

After the official department, there is the household department.

Managing the world's money, food, and population is also an extremely important department, second only to the Ministry of Personnel in importance.

Or it's a department that keeps pace with the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

At this time, the Ministry of Household Affairs did not even have the left minister, and only the right minister was left to report.

However, the report from the Ministry of Accounts was a bit ugly.

Not only has the population of the Ming Empire declined year after year since Chongzhen became emperor, but so has the court's income.

The entire Ming Empire was almost always in decline.

When such a result was displayed, Chongzhen's face was naturally extremely ugly.

In fact, he doesn't need to be so ugly. I hope this is the result of Donglin Party governance.

The Donglin Party moved beyond him as an emperor and felt that the Ming Empire could develop well without an emperor.

But in fact, without a leader, the Donglin Party is full of contradictions. Coupled with the struggles of other factions, they are just busy fighting all day long.

What they are in short supply of are the kind of talents who are good at fighting, and they will not focus on developing IQ at all.

How can such a faction govern the country well?

If the Ming Empire does not make a big step backwards, it can be considered that the foundation laid by Zhu Yuanzhang is very good.

Chongzhen also thought of this, and he realized that there was no need for him to be angry at all.

All this is caused by corrupt officials!

He is an emperor who has been ignored, so there is really no need to be angry.

Fortunately everything is back!

All the power is back!

Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that under his governance, the Ming Empire would surely achieve renaissance!

It might even be comparable to the period of Emperor Taizu.

Chongzhen fantasized about the bright future for a moment, and then looked at the other officials.

In addition to these main officials, the Ming Empire also had many other departments, such as the Ministry of Justice and so on.

The department in charge of punishment naturally has considerable power [there are also heavy officials from Gyeonggi.

The court of the Ming Empire was actually very mature. Naturally, the power in charge of the entire country could not be taken seriously by only a few hundred people.

Behind every official, there represents a huge faction or a bureaucracy.

Chongzhen knew exactly this, so he paid special attention to the more than one hundred people attending the court meeting now.

These people represent the real power of the Ming Empire!

"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."

The Minister of Household Affairs saw that the court meeting had been going on for a whole day, and everyone finally gave an overview of the work in hand, and then stood up tremblingly.

The officials of the Ming Empire were still very powerful after all. Their bodies were at least much stronger than many ordinary people.

It's not that they practice martial arts or anything like that, but that they cultivate their body and energy to make their bodies extra healthy. In addition, many imperial doctors specialize in treating them, so that their bodies can be many times stronger than many ordinary people.

.....*.---......

Only such a body can handle the huge and complicated affairs of the Ming Empire and at the same time attend the court meeting after eating only one meal.

After such a meeting, even if you can have lunch in the middle, no one can guarantee that you can continue to stand in the afternoon.

Those who can stand are elites.

This also shows that the real daimyo officials are also elite.

It is a pity that these elites did not focus on how to govern the country at all. They focused all their energy on how to fight against the ruler of this country, how to deal with other people, and how to deal with their own enemies.

Under such a situation, it was naturally impossible for the Ming Empire to develop well.

It is precisely because of this that the Ming Empire now looks like this.

Originally, these officials thought the Ming Empire was okay.

But now, after having such a serious meeting in the court, they suddenly discovered that the Ming Empire was now terminally ill, right?

They are not fools. Looking at history, they also know that it may be really difficult to support the Ming Empire in such a situation!

As long as they don't come to this meeting today and continue to govern themselves, the Ming Empire will probably provoke a popular uprising!

At that time, after falling into troubled times, it will be uncertain where the Ming Empire will go.

This also caused many officials to break out in a cold sweat.

The Ming Empire was already in such a state of decay!!!

Not to mention them, even Chongzhen has woken up from the joy of gaining power. He has obviously discovered that "Today's Ming Empire has become a mess."

Worse than he imagined!

How could such a Ming Empire develop? Chongzhen felt unspeakable despair in his heart. Disaster victims were everywhere, the court had no income, the army was corrupt, and officials were promoted entirely based on factions.

Can such a Ming Empire be saved? The key is that in such a Ming Empire, Chongzhen still had to rely on these officials who he hated to death. .
