The eldest prince, Su Shu, followed the team of civil and military officials and rushed from the Meridian Gate to the Huangji Hall in a nervous mood.

He has gone to court several times, but this is the first time he has taken this route.

The eldest prince Su Shu has now moved out of the palace, so he cannot travel with his father.

We can only take another path and follow the actions of the civil and military officials.

The eldest prince Su Shu knew that his father would confer an official title on him today and he would become an official official of the empire.

He is both happy and worried now.

After officially entering the officialdom, as long as he can show his talents that are recognized by everyone, he will not be far away from the position of crown prince.

The eldest prince Su Shu is worried because he doesn't know which yamen he will serve in.

Will my next performance gain my father's approval?

When things came to a close, the eldest prince Su Shu felt that he still had some things that he had not done well.

While he was thinking about something, he heard many officials whispering about something.

The eldest prince Su Shu is newly married and busy with affairs in the palace. He does not know much about recent events in the court.

This time the court meeting was another day for him to be conferred an official position. The eldest prince Su Shu did not ask his close men about the matters in the court, and refused to let his men enter the palace to report.

This is his gesture to his father, showing that he is willing to accept his father's arrangements and does not care about power.

The eldest prince Su Shu didn't know the officials nearby, so he could only prick up his ears and listen carefully to the discussions of these officials.

"Brother Wang, there is going to be big news at this court meeting. I heard that your household department will be split up directly."

"Brother Zhao, your information is very well-informed. I observed the behavior of Lord Shangshu and Lord Minister, and I believe that this news is definitely not groundless.

This news is really a rumor. Lord Shangshu and Lord Minister will never rush to win over officials.

I heard that the household department is divided into the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of People's Livelihood.

This is absolutely good news. The Ministry of Finance has obtained most of the authority of the Ministry of Accounts.

Just look at the rumors that the Ministry of Finance will become even better than it is now."

"This news should be true, it is news that leaked from Mr. Wu's house.

You must know that before His Majesty the Emperor does anything, he always consults with the cabinet.

We petty officials can only wait for orders from the court and have little impact on national policy."

"Brother Wang, Brother Zhao, you are discussing this matter.

There are many kinds of rumors circulating outside, and I don’t know which one is the most true.

But no matter which rumor it is, the Ministry of Rites is destined to be dismembered.

Those big shots must have arrangements in their court, and we little guys can only go with the flow and hope to be assigned to a more relaxed yamen."

The eldest prince Su Shu listened to the discussions of these officials, and he gradually understood what happened in the court?

My father planned to abolish the six ministries and establish several new departments to manage the government affairs of the entire country.

As a result, his position becomes even more confusing and impossible to guess.

He listened to the tone of these officials' words. They were both happy and worried.

The number of new yamen in the imperial court far exceeded the six departments, which meant that there were a large number of official vacancies.

Officials who are consciously capable but have low status are gearing up to compete for better official positions.

Some higher-ranking officials had a look of frustration on their faces when they heard that their departments were being split up.

If they cannot obtain a better official position, even if their rank remains unchanged, the power they hold will be the same as that of Yinghuo and Haori.

The eldest prince Su Shu approached the Huangji Palace. He saw that the tall dragon chair in front of him was empty, and he knew that his father had not arrived here yet.

He immediately waited at the gate where his father entered the palace. He observed the scene in the palace with his peripheral vision. These officials were already standing in their positions according to the yamen and official positions.

The eldest prince Su Shu only waited for a short while before he heard the roar of cars and the huge sound of steam engines, which were too distinctive.

When he saw his father approaching, he immediately saluted and said, "I would like to pay my respects to my father. Where should I stand when I go to the palace today?"

Emperor Su He saw the eldest prince Su Shu looking a little scared.

He smiled and said: "Shu'er, don't be nervous. You stand next to my father first. When you are officially awarded the official position, you will naturally know where you should stand."

Emperor Su He walked into the hall, and the hall immediately became quiet.

He sat on the dragon throne and observed the performance of the civil and military officials.

When news of the reorganization of the six departments spread, officials behaved differently because of their different interests.

As soon as Emperor Su He sat down on the throne, the civil and military officials immediately began to salute the emperor.

According to the procedure of the court meeting, Emperor Su He asked everyone to be free.

Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi's high-pitched voice sounded in the hall.

"The court meeting has begun, please ministers follow the procedures."

Prime Minister Qian Mingyi immediately stood up, took the memorial and said: "Prime Minister Qian Mingyi of the Cabinet of Ministers wishes to present this memorial to Your Majesty.

During the Tang Dynasty, the system of three provinces and six ministries was established, and the Ming Dynasty followed the six-ministerial system hundreds of years ago.

The setting of the six parts is somewhat inappropriate.

His Majesty has long been interested in reorganizing the six ministries and ordered the cabinet to collect information from the six ministries.

The cabinet has now reached a consensus on the reorganization of the six ministries, and your Majesty is invited to preview it."

After discussions between Emperor Su He and Prime Minister Qian Mingyi, they decided to establish various ministries in the imperial court, which were nominally recommended by the cabinet.

The emperor set up these departments with his golden words, and it became an ancestral system.

If these departments need to adjust in the future, it will be very difficult.

The design of these departments is unreasonable, and officials will definitely avoid talking about it for fear of offending the emperor.

If it is proposed by the cabinet, there will not be so many surprises.

Emperor Su He also knew that the new department he designed was definitely not perfect, and various problems would inevitably arise.

Problems frequently occurred in the emperor's design department, which undermined the emperor's majesty.

If the cabinet takes over this matter, it will not have much impact on the prime minister and cabinet ministers.

After all, this is about dividing the pie, not trying to spread it out.

The number of official positions increases, and most people can benefit from it.

Emperor Su He said with satisfaction: "The cabinet has reached a consensus, let's introduce it."

Prime Minister Qian Mingyi has a good memory and recounted what he had seen before.

His speaking skills are also very good. He first introduced the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Health in sequence.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Most of the officials in the palace were completely relieved.

The responsibilities of these four departments have been slightly adjusted, but overall they remain the same as before.

The news about the changes in these four movies is just rumors. They don't have to worry about the loss of their rights.

Prime Minister Qian Mingyi quickly went to the Ministry of Household Affairs and announced the split of the Ministry of Household Affairs into two.

Someone in the hall immediately gasped for air. His face was red from holding back, but he did not dare to say a word.

The officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs who manage money and food are grateful for the power of the Ministry of Finance.

The officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs who were in charge of household registration and other matters felt dizzy because this knife was too severe.

They have gone from majestic household officials to lower-level departments that are inferior to even the State Administration of Taxation.

At first glance, the Ministry of People's Livelihood has no income and no rights. It is just a department that spends money. This kind of department is not popular and promotions are extremely slow.

Prime Minister Qian Mingyi finished talking about the speculation and reorganization of the Ministry of Rites.

All the officials in the palace took a deep breath, and faint sounds of crying could be heard.

The Ministry of Rites, a department with a transcendent status, became the focus of the imperial court.

Most of the officials in the court looked at Emperor Su He with bright eyes.

Many officials prayed that Emperor Su He would veto this plan.

After Emperor Su He heard this, he praised with satisfaction: "I agree with what the cabinet said.

The sixth department is relatively bloated and its work is relatively rigid, and it has indeed reached the point where it has to be changed.

The plan proposed by the cabinet is excellent and very feasible.

I have granted the cabinet the power to reorganize the six ministries and implement them in accordance with the cabinet’s plan.”

Prime Minister Qian Mingyi said solemnly: "I obey the decree and will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Emperor Su He looked in the direction of the officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Office and said: "My old brothers who conquered the world with me back then saw the current messy situation in the military and wrote me a personal letter outlining the pros and cons.

I believe that the current tit-for-tat situation between the military, the Navy and the Army is not conducive to the development of the military.
