In order to solve this problem, the founding emperor had to set up a special organization called the cabinet.
At the beginning, the cabinet staff only helped the emperor read the memorials sent by various agencies and carry out the work of sealing and refuting them, and drafted handling opinions according to the emperor's intentions, etc.
However, these people are not of high rank and cannot participate in the research of major government affairs, let alone handle government affairs alone.
Simply put, the role of these people is equivalent to that of administrative secretaries.
But not all emperors were workaholics like the founding emperor.
Later, some emperors were too lazy to spend so much time dealing with the tedious affairs of the government, so they gradually "transferred" power to the cabinet. They could just let them watch and handle some matters that were not particularly important!
Over time, the cabinet became the most powerful organization in the Daning Dynasty.
The threshold for the cabinet has also become higher and higher. Under normal circumstances, only ministers from the six bureaus or high officials in the border areas are qualified to enter the cabinet.
The top leader of the cabinet, the Chief Minister, holds great power. Compared with the prime ministers of other dynasties, except for the different names, they are actually the same.
As for the "Yan Party" mentioned by Yang Peng, its leader is the current chief minister of the cabinet, Yan Shoucheng!
Relying on the emperor's trust, Yan Shoucheng deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates, formed cliques, controlled the government, sold his officials and promoted nobles, framed loyal people, harmed the country at the top, and harmed the people at the bottom!
The crimes committed by the Yan Party have long been inexhaustible!
However, even if the people of the whole country know that the Yan Party has misled the country and harmed the people, as long as the emperor still trusts Yan Shoucheng, then the Yan Party can continue to stand tall and do evil!
Just now, Lin Xu saw the county magistrate leading the soldiers and soldiers to destroy the seedlings and even kill innocent people indiscriminately. He was very angry and incredible at the same time!
But now, after learning that Yan Dang did this, I don't feel strange anymore.
At this time, a soldier came over and shouted arrogantly: "What are you looking at?! Get out of here! If you stay here any longer, I will arrest you all as anti-people!"
"Anti-people? With just one move of your lips, you slapped us with a big label!"
Lin Xu sneered.
"Oh! Boy, you're so silent! You won't leave, right? OK, then I'll arrest you! Let's see how you keep talking so hard!"
Before Fu Bing could finish his words, he suddenly saw Yang Peng take out a palm-sized black token with a vermilion character "Liu" on it, and there were patterns of cranes and lions carved on the left and right!
The Daning Dynasty was very particular about clothes, especially for officials. Officials of different grades, the embroidered birds on the official uniforms of civil servants and the painted animals on the official uniforms of generals, are all clearly distinguished. You must not wear the wrong one!
The crane is the embroidered bird on the official uniform of the first-rank civil servants, and the lion is the painted animal on the official uniform of the second-rank military general!
The character "Liu" in the middle represents the official's surname.
Not to mention the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the only person in the entire Daning Dynasty who is worthy of this token is Liu Mingju, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!
After the soldier recognized the token, he was so frightened that cold sweat immediately soaked his back. He quickly knelt down and said tremblingly: "The villain is short-sighted and has offended the Lord! Please forgive me!"
When the magistrate standing in the distance saw such a scene, he knew that a big shot was coming. He hurriedly came over. Before he could reach him, he raised his hands and said loudly: "I am Fan Changqing, the magistrate of Linyang County. May I ask how you call them?"
?”
Yang Peng didn't answer, just picked up the token and showed it to him. This chapter has been completed!
