"The meeting begins!"

With Liu Ruoyu's long and high-pitched shouting, the morning service once every five days began.

"The theme of today's morning meeting is to discuss the candidates for Zuodu Censor, Dali Temple Minister, Police Minister, Hebei Governor and many other positions." Looking at the officials standing solemnly below, Liu Ruoyu announced today's theme unhurriedly.

From the resumption of office work after the Lantern Festival to today, the first day of March, the morning court has been held several times, and some new rules have gradually become established and established.

The theme of the court meeting is something that needs to be discussed and discussed every day. This is sent by the cabinet to all ministries the day before, and then the officials are allowed to make their own decisions and put it forward the next day.

Although the internal government has now become the central government, its power is not that great under the suppression of Tianqi. It can only handle some daily affairs. For second-rank officials such as the governor, Shangshu, and Yushi, only the emperor can make decisions.

Zhu Youxiao prefers to discuss these matters in the morning, even if these matters are already known and concluded. This is his method of exercising the authority of the emperor. Perhaps it is also influenced by the habit of meeting in later generations. Important matters are still

It must be proposed at the plenary meeting.

"The morning court begins, and all the officials are seated peacefully." After reading the theme, Liu Ruoyu began the morning court process.

After a loud rumble, all the officials sat down. No matter how carpeted the hall was, the sound was still there, but soon, the sound quickly became quieter and then disappeared.

All officials were sitting upright, waiting for the court meeting to proceed according to previous procedures. Although each morning court meeting has a theme, which is also the focus of today's discussion, it is not directly entered. There are some routine work reports before it.

The first step is to report to the first assistant.

The cabinet has completely become the center of central government affairs, and local official documents are also sent here. After being assigned by the cabinet, the same is true for the work of the six ministries, and all documents are summarized in the cabinet.

The cabinet knows all the government affairs information best, so every morning, a general report must be made to let the officials below understand the progress of various government affairs. At the same time, the cabinet will also inform the next work for each department to do.

Be prepared.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, this work was naturally carried out by Li Ruhua, a bachelor of the Central Cabinet. The old man stood there a little weakly, holding the report and reading word for word. Although he was older, his voice was still

It is still very clear and the tone is loud. Under the special structure of the main hall, every official can hear it clearly.

"The police department has been basically established, and the personnel and venues have been put in place. The Jingshi Police Station has also been set up, and the police officers and the venue have been handed over..." Li Ruhua reported the work very concisely. Each item only had a completion status, and there was no more specific information.

.

However, various officials still listened carefully. From these simple dynamics, smart people can understand the dynamics of the empire. At the same time, this is also a good way to cultivate a sense of the overall situation. No one who is interested in an official career will ignore these things.

.

The five cabinet bachelors sit side by side, sitting at the front of the hundred officials, under the central cabinet bachelor, arranged in order from southeast to northwest. These people also have expressionless, serious and dignified faces.

"Your Majesty, I have finished my report." Li Ruhua bowed and sat back.

Afterwards, the ministers of each department reported their work. They all got together and explained the progress of their department's work in a few words in concise language.

As these two steps progressed, the situation of the entire Ming Empire became clear in an instant. What happened where and what new measures the empire had taken recently were all clear. The huge area seemed to appear in front of hundreds of officials, allowing them to clearly understand

.

"After that, let's get to the topic." Liu Ruoyu shouted again at the top of his lungs.

As soon as these words were spoken, the high-ranking officials in the front row instantly trembled and became energetic. This was the main meal of the morning.

"Please give the floor to the Chief Assistant." Liu Ruoyu started according to the established procedure.

"Old minister, I don't have a good candidate. Please make your decision, your majesty." Li Ruhua stood up and saluted, then continued.

"Old fox!"

Seeing this scene, several other cabinet bachelors and various ministers cursed in their hearts. Li Ruhua is old, and his current strategy is to maintain stability until he retires safely. You must know that in the cabinet regulations set by the emperor

, but with the resignation of the chief minister, when a huge problem occurs in the country, the chief minister will take the blame.

After becoming the first prime minister, his reputation will be famous in the history books. This is enough. Others are old and no longer ask for extravagance. As long as Li Ruhua is not the first prime minister to take the blame, he will be satisfied. As for the emperor's confession

He left all kinds of reform matters to four bachelors in the name of training young people.

He only did sealing and daily affairs, and did not do anything else. Even if the emperor asked, he would hardly mention it. He would just say the emperor's decision.

Regarding Li Ruhua's performance, Zhu Youxiao did not think so at all. When he decided to make him the first person and chief assistant, he had this consideration in mind. The first cabinet team was the most important, because this was the time when he was taking the biggest steps in reform.

Sometimes, even if you choose a mediocre first assistant, don't choose someone who is strong but always works against the emperor. Otherwise, the work will not be carried out.

Under this circumstance, Li Ruhua, who was about to retire in his senior year, came into Zhu Youxiao's eye.

After Zhu Youxiao looked past Li Ruhua, he stopped at Sun Chengzong. Maybe he would give him some advice. Zhu Youxiao was not sure about the candidates for these second-grade officials. After all, he only had technical information and did not have this era.

Official resume.

As for the evaluation form in the Ministry of Personnel, it is worth not mentioning it. It is not the same standard as his focus and cannot be used as a reference for officials' abilities.

"I recommend Li Banghua as governor of Hebei Province." Sun Chengzong said an unfamiliar name. This name really surprised Zhu Youxiao. He recalled it and made sure that he had not seen this person on the list of official positions in the current dynasty.

Fortunately, he did not persist in this question for a long time. Sun Chengzong quickly explained, "Li Banghua, courtesy name Meng An, was born in Jishui, Jiangxi. He was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli and is now a counselor in Shandong."

It turned out that he was a local official. Zhu Youxiao was a little relieved, but judging from Sun Chengzong's brief introduction, he still didn't understand the specific situation of this person. But he was not in a hurry, and he would naturally have information sent to him later.

Sun Chengzong was followed by Cui Jingrong, a scholar of Nange University. He was previously the Minister of the Ministry of War. This time he recommended Li Ruoxing, the young minister of Dali Temple. As for the official position, he naturally aimed at the minister of Dali Temple.
