Chapter 020 The cabinet collectively gives up its picks
"Hehe, the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind, tell Chi Su, Bao Qin and the others, closely monitor the shadows in the mansion, but don't alarm the snake. If you kill them, Ji Hong will still send new people in, so it will be even more difficult for us to find them
.”
Cao Qichang sneered twice, turned around and jumped onto the four-wheeled luxury official chariot.
"Go home!"
Dugucheng and a man in the night clothes beside him gave a few instructions, then flew onto a horse, took the guards to protect Cao Qichang, and returned to the Duke of Anguo's mansion.
That night, the entire capital of the Zhongjin Empire was in a state of ups and downs, undercurrents, and about to break out.
Rumors are everywhere and people are in panic.
But in the end, there is no danger!
For several consecutive days, the capital was calm and the riots were probably over. The prince of the regent ordered the lifting of martial law in the imperial city, but the curfew was still imposed.
The crown prince’s rule has entered a substantive stage, and the test for him has just begun.
The central administrative organization of the Jin Empire was mainly the three provinces and six ministries in the imperial city.
Since Emperor Jiye was paralyzed in bed, there has been no decision-making methods such as court meetings or court meetings in the past three years.
The resolution of the Five Prime Ministers' Cabinet, commonly known as the Jun Zhi, became the highest decision-making order of the empire.
In order to facilitate the publication and release of the document, the cabinet set up a special political affairs hall, which is equivalent to the General Office of the Central Committee in later generations.
The Political Affairs Hall is the place where the five prime ministers' cabinet jointly discusses and makes decisions, and it is also the decision-making center of the entire Zhongjin Dynasty.
The Tongzhengsi Department is under the jurisdiction of the Zhengshi Hall.
Memorials delivered to military camps in various prefectures, counties, and border areas across the country, including memorials and proposals from officials above the fifth rank in the capital, were sent to the Tongzheng Department.
Then the Tongzheng Department will register, collect, classify and archive and distribute it.
For memorials or memorials of ordinary levels, the Tongzheng Department will directly distribute them to the six ministries of the Shangshu Province for handling.
For high-level memorials, such as disasters in various places, public grievances, border military newspapers, etc., they will be sent to the Political Affairs Hall for resolutions.
In the Political Affairs Hall, there are always attending the left and right ministers and ministers, who serve a large number of officials, and deal with huge and complicated daily administrative affairs.
The prince's reign was actually aimed at restoring the court-gathering system under the imperial power and gradually confiscating the power of the Five Prime Ministers' Cabinet to the Crown Prince's side.
Early in the morning of the day when the martial law was lifted.
The secret guards and the governor hurried into the west study room and reported to the prince:
"Report to Your Highness, among the five prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, except for Chen Huaiyuan, the other four prime ministers, including Prime Minister Cao Qichang, have not been sent to the Political Affairs Hall to listen to the office of the Political Affairs Hall in the name of martial law in the past few days. The Tongzheng Department submitted the memorials.
It has piled up like mountains."
"It's not just the Zhengshi Hall, but early this morning, the six ministers, including some of the ministers on the left and right, suddenly took leave in the palace, saying that they were sick with heatstroke and the government was paralyzed."
When Yuan Zhi heard this, his face calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Is there a heatstroke sick? I'm afraid I'm all suffering from a plague."
This is a treacherous party group headed by Cao Qichang. He gave a warning to the crown prince who was in power and collectively "sayed" the leader.
"Gao Jin, I will issue a tutor to the orphan. Within three days, all officials in the court offices of the three provinces and six courts must be on duty and perform their duties. Otherwise, they will be punished for disobeying the court. This order will be delivered immediately.
At the yamen of the three provinces and six courts, there are also the residences of major officials, and the jade seal of the State Supervisor - the Shuanglong Talisman."
The so-called Tao is one foot taller, and the devil is one foot taller.
Yuanzhi was not panicked. With his modern mind, this little trick would not be difficult for him.
Without thinking too much, he issued an order in time and made a strong counterattack.
"I obey the order." Gao Jin bowed and started to handle it.
Gao Jin, the general manager of the Eastern Palace, was a eunuch, but he was one of the few scholars among the eunuchs.
His grandfather was a wealthy businessman.
At the beginning, his family suffered a sudden disaster. For the vitality of his parents and brothers and sisters, he cruelly entered the palace.
Now, he temporarily took on the job of the Eastern Palace Secretary.
"Governor, I want to go to the imperial city to take a look around, understand the current operation of the imperial government's government offices, and implement the memorials sent by the prefectures and border outposts."
Yuan Zhi gave Gao Jin an order, and immediately thought of going to the imperial city to inspect and understand the operation of the central institutions of the empire in a timely manner.
"Sister obeys the order."
In this way, the Crown Prince Yuanzhi was dressed in casual clothes. Accompanied by Ji Hong, the chief guard Ding Jiu brought dozens of Qianniu guards to protect him, and came out of the Xuanwu Gate of the palace city and walked towards the imperial city.
The imperial city located in the north and north of the capital is the center of power of the Zhongjin Empire.
Zhuque Street, which runs across the north and south of the capital, is a standard central axis of the city, connecting the Xuanwu Gate of the palace city, the Zhuque Gate of the imperial city and the Desheng Gate of the outer city.
Looking at the orderly and solemn and solemn golden courtyard in front of me, Yuan Zhi's heart was beating violently.
This is the heart of the Zhongjin Dynasty and the headquarters of the state.
Although he was a human being in two lives and had seen many great worlds, he was still a little nervous when he arrived at the imperial city with the authority of the empire.
The imperial city is where the central office of the imperial government is located. On the left side of the central axis, the first thing that catches your eye is Honglu Temple, Dashe, etc., and on the right are Taichang Temple, Taimiao, Military Hall, etc.
Going further out, the three provinces and six ministries, the Censorate, the Twelve Guards, etc. are all in the imperial city.
In other words, all imperial commands are issued from here.
From this we can see that if the operation here is not smooth, it is like a problem with the human heart.
This is awesome?!
"Your Highness, where are we going first?"
When Ji Hong saw that the prince had crossed the Xuande Bridge on the moat, he was a little confused and asked quickly.
"Of course, we should go to the Zhengshi Hall and Tongmai Department first, and lead the way."
In Yuanzhi's mind, the layout of the central government office hub of the Imperial City had no idea at all.
This shows that the damn original owner is really a playboy prince, with a bag of wine.
From this we can conclude that the prince has never been here at all the central government offices of the empire.
"Abide by the order."
Ji Hong bowed slightly, put the whisk made of gold and jade in his hand on his shoulders, and took big steps in front of him to lead the way.
The Zhengshi Hall is located in the Secretariat Province, and the Tongzhengsi Yamen is next to the Zhengshi Hall. There is a secret corridor on both sides for important officials to walk and transmit memorials.
At this time, King Yuanxuan of Jin, accompanied by Bu Shuren, the eunuch of Funing Palace, was communicating with Wang Baoquan, the left assistant minister of the Political Affairs Hall.
The Left Minister of the Political Affairs Hall is a second-rank civil servant, equivalent to the Director of the General Office of the Central Committee, with a high position and a powerful position.
Although King Jin was only over nine years old and was still very immature on the surface, he had become very proud of his strict training and education since childhood.
"King of Jin please go slowly. I have been ordered by the Prime Minister Jun these days. Many officials have not arrived at the yamen and have not sorted out the memorials in time. But please rest assured. The officials will arrange their personnel and sort out some important memorials tomorrow.
Earlier, the officials decided to send someone to Funing Palace to not delay your practice of state affairs."
