After a while, a loud footsteps came from afar outside the hall.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then the door of the hall was pushed open by a young official wearing a green official robe. After entering the hall, the young man in the green official robe ran to Li Di, and knelt down without hesitation, his head was tightly pressed against the ground, and he didn't even dare to look at Li Di.

Officials in the Nanli court divided the colors of their own official robes according to their ranks. It was precisely because of the Nanli official robes that an allusion came from it.

"If it is a group of officials and a nobleman, Chang Bo, who is blushed with purple and white, and has a golden ray of gold and white"

What does this sentence mean?

The meaning of this sentence is that the official wearing a red robe and a purple seal is the one who is the one who is in a red robe and is best not to provoke these people.

But who would have thought that in Nanli's court discussion, officials like those in Nanli who were wearing red robes and purple seals, were basically like this.

This also represents that the color of the high-ranking officials represented by Nanli’s current officials is vermilion red. If you want to enter the threshold of this vermilion red high-ranking official, your official rank will start at the fifth rank.

In the Nanli plan, the official robes of fifth-rank officials were just light red court uniforms. However, even officials wearing official robes of this color were not something that ordinary people could provoke.

If you reach a third-rank official, your court uniform and daily official robes will become pure red official robes. People who usually wear this kind of official robes are basically figures of the six ministers. Officials of this level may one day meet noble people, become successful, and transform themselves into Lord Shangshu with authority.

For second-rank officials and first-rank officials, they are different. Usually, officials who reach this level can be truly high-ranking officials who can control and use some of their authority from the hands of Emperor Li.

There are only seven existing civilian officials of the first and second ranks.

The six Shangshu in charge of the department were second-rank officials. For example, their court wards were basically allowed to embroider patterns like dragons on the corners of their sleeves to show their status.

As for the only first-rank official in civil service, it is naturally the current Prime Minister of Nanli.

As for the old man's court ward, the old man's court ward was specially approved by Emperor Li to embroider a dragon transformation picture that was about to transform from a dragon into a red dragon in the middle of the court ward.

Of course, this cannot be generalized. There will always be some special examples. For example, as the president of the Jinshi, although this person is only a fourth-rank official in his official rank, the power he holds in his hands makes the six ministers dare not offend him easily.

And his official robe will naturally not be the ordinary fourth-rank official robe. After all, the heads of the yamen like Zhijinsi are basically loyal to Emperor Li.

As a more favored confidant of Emperor Li, the adult's official robe was tattooed with dragons on the sleeves like the six ministers of the ministers of the family, and one pattern was two dragons. In the middle of his court robes, a tiger down the mountain was embroidered. All these situations proved to others that the weight of this fourth-rank master in the Nanli court is definitely not something that can be generalized just by looking at the official rank.

What's more, not all of these civil officials are respected by red official robes. Due to their functional reasons, there are a few officials among the officials in Nanli who are not of high rank, but they cannot underestimate the power they hold.

Moreover, most of these other officials are independent officials outside the six ministries.

The first one to bear the brunt is naturally the President of the Jinshi.

But this adult is also considered a member of the Honglang official, so it cannot be regarded as a typical example.

It can be used as a typical example, just like the person Shangshu Ling, who is kneeling in front of Li, trembling and dare not look up and look at Li.

The official position of Shangshu Ling is sixth rank, but he is in charge of Shangshu Tai. The function of Shangshu Tai is to help the monarch draw edicts and prevent the monarch from falling. Shangshu Tai has one Shangshu Ling, sixth rank, two Shangshu Pushe, and seventh rank. The rest are about five or six people. They are all responsible for the supervision of various departments and yamen in Nanli.

The reason why Shangshutai was first created was to prevent Nanli from appearing in a certain era of a giant family, which could affect the giant family of Nanli’s various decisions.

Just like the major families that control the government of Beigen State, which is also an empire, are now in control of the government.

The purpose of the establishment of the Shangshutai was to prevent this situation from occurring in Nanli, so it gave Shangshutai huge authority.

However, the power of the Shangshutai is great, and it is not too big. It is just because of the supervision tasks of the Shangshutai Yuzhe. The Shangshutai only has the power to supervise and report statistics. They do not have the power to arrest the Jinshi or the Jinyiwei Yamen directly.

This is also a special rule set by the Li Emperor who founded Shangshutai to prevent the small yamen of Shangshutai from becoming increasingly expanding.

This regulation is like the sword of Dark Morris, hanging above the heads of the people on the Shangshutai, reminding them all the time not to overstep their authority.

The official robe of the Shangshu Ling is also the inconspicuous blue official robe.

But who dares to underestimate this sixth-rank official wearing a blue official robe?

Who can guarantee that there is no dark foundation left in his hands that cannot be looked back on?

As long as the Shangshu Ling is willing to spend time with you and investigate without mercy, as long as he finds some fatal evidence of the case, then the one who came to your mansion to knock on the door the next day will be the Jinyiwei.

But it also depends on the personality of the Shangshuling in this position. If the Shangshuling in this position is strong and hates evil, then even if you are the Minister of the Sixth Ministry, as long as you have some dirty foundation, you must end up being defeated by the Sixth-rank Shangshuling.

This is also the reason why the Shangshu Ling was called the Little Prime Minister. After all, if this kind of authority is used well, even the Six Ministers and even the Supreme Prime Minister should pay attention to your movements.

But unfortunately, the current Shangshuling is extremely cowardly and timid and fearless. He completely turned his huge power into a false existence, making Shangshuling, who was called the little prime minister, and Shangshutai, which was originally supposed to be strictly defending, become a grassroots team that is only responsible for passing messages.

This young and inconspicuous Shangshu Ling, who made him just an illegitimate son of a down-and-out family?

Living environment since childhood, and

The attitude of people towards him and the family members looked at him coldly, not only did not make the Shangshuling's personality jealous or dark, but instead made his temperament timid and afraid. Even if he knew that the other party had left a record of the case at Shangshutai, he did not dare to use it to threaten the other party. Even when he knew that the other party had some record of the case at Shangshutai, he would only use it to beg the other party not to bully him.

Over time, the so-called little prime minister became a sixth-rank official who could deceive as much as possible. No, it can even be said that during the tenure of this young Shangshu Ling, the position of Shangshu Ling not only did not make the senior officials in the red robe scared, but instead became somewhat incompatible with the sixth-rank official status.

What does this mean?

This means that as a sixth-rank official, this young minister Ling begged for mercy from some local county magistrates more than one and once, begging the other party not to make things difficult for him or to make his own affairs and his job difficult.

As soon as this incident happened, the young Shangshu Ling suddenly became a big laugh at the Nanli court. Basically, all the yamen were no longer there, and there was any threat or danger to the Shangshutai, a small yamen. You guys are all soft-legged shrimps. Could someone dare to fight us out on Shangshutai?

Stop being funny. There is a saying that a soldier in the army is timid and a coward. It is even more appropriate to put this in the yamen.

Just like the Minister of War, most of the Ministers of War were not the mainstay of the domestic war faction, or the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of Rites of Rites of the Emperor of Rites of the Emperor of Rites of the Emperor of Rites of the Emperor of Rites of the Emperor of Rites of the Emperor of Rites of the Emperor of Rites of the Emperor of Rites of the Emperor of Rites, after all, they represent the country behind them and talk to other countries. How could they lose the majesty of their own country?

How tough are they?

So tough that this generation of Minister of Rites, although he looks gentle and elegant, he is a scholar who is well-read in poetry and books, under this layer of skin is ambition that wishes to silence the countries of the mainland. After all, if it weren't for his identity here, do you believe that he would jump into the team of the domestic pro-war faction without hesitation, and the momentum of shaking the flag and cheering is more radical than that of the Minister of War.

Naturally, the immediate bosses in their own yamen all have this style or personality, and most of the ministers and officials below have this temperament. Even if they don’t have such a temperament, they will more or less bring some unique meanings of their superiors in the way they handle things.

Of course, this is also beneficial. For example, if the Minister of Rites had not been extremely tough, after the Central Plains coalition failed to siege and attack Nanli, the army would have basically not existed. When the Central Plains countries begged for mercy to Nanli, if the Minister of Rites had not been negotiating with them on behalf of Emperor Li, they would have known whether these guys would have fooled them by using this hasty way of doing so.

Otherwise, how could Nanli receive tribute from the Central Plains every year in the past ten years? If it weren't for the contribution of this Minister of Rites, how could it be that the total tribute paid in each year would be almost equal to half of Nanli's tax revenue every year?

In other words, it is precisely because of the credit of the Minister of Rites that the precarious military expenditure in Nanli was alleviated.

This is a qualified Shangguan.
