After the emperor finished speaking, the next step was the chief assistant. The nominal chief assistant was still Li Ruhua, but the old man had already entered his grave. Naturally, he could no longer pop out to make a summary report at this time, so Xu Guangqi was temporarily appointed as his replacement.

The emperor's speech must be dignified and not talk about everything, so Zhu Youxiao just talked about some of his great achievements, such as victory in the war, the expansion of territory, the opening of seas, and the unprecedented exemption of agricultural taxes.

Ah and so on.

For example, the progress of land equalization was hindered, the collection of commercial and tax revenue was meager, and there was no mention of interception and killing on the way. But Xu Guangqi was different. As the actual chief minister and prime minister, he did not need to be friendly with the officials below.

Instead, he was scolded by a cold-faced and sarcastic master.

The various words used are also cunning, mean, cold and vicious, and they are all too numerous to describe, including contemporary Qin Hui, and the content is directed at those who obstruct the division of land and the collection of taxes.

The people present were all high-ranking officials of fourth rank or above, and they were scholar-bureaucrats belonging to the ruling class. How could he not know what was happening below him? I'm afraid many of them had the instructions of someone among them.

However, these are subtle things after all. When all of this is spread out and talked about, even though Xu Guangqi did not name names, all people with ghosts in their hearts always feel that these are talking about themselves. What about dismissal and investigation, never

To put it bluntly, imperial examinations are not allowed within three generations, and among in-laws, they are not allowed to take imperial examinations for ten years.

These harsh punishments that are extended to future generations, relatives and friends all make these officials who are behind the scenes frightened and tremble. The Chinese have always focused on the benefit of future generations, and now these punishment policies can just catch them.

's lifeblood.

Many people claim that poems and books are passed down from generation to generation, and fields are not necessary. As long as you can study and participate in the imperial examination, you will naturally have these things after you become an official. How important is the field? It is not as important as the imperial examination. Now the emperor has not announced the apocalypse for three years.

The imperial examination situation is low, I'm afraid I'll be waiting here.

The cold, cruel words without any warmth made all the officials tremble with fear. In the entire Huangji Palace, thousands of officials were silent.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied. These scoundrel scholar-bureaucrats are going to do something cruel to him. If you are not afraid of it yourself, well, I will bring harm to your descendants and their families. Let’s see if you are still afraid.

Xu Guangqi spoke for a full hour, explaining all aspects of the year, gains and losses in a thorough manner, allowing people to have a clear understanding of the entire year's work in just one listen, and also allowing officials from various departments to understand what to do

Work together.

This report shows its level. Of course, it would be better if those cold and hard words could be removed.

After Xu Guangqi, there was Sun Juxiang, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After he came up, among other things, he read out the official crime statistics for the entire year, item by item, including their crimes.

The term of the sentence, what kind of punishment, and where it occurred were all clearly displayed in front of all officials.

After listening to these details, many officials had pale faces, especially officials from Zhejiang and Jiangsu, who were even more ashamed. Eighty percent of bribery cases were caused by them. They even felt that it would be better on the spot.

The imperial censor of the Capital City turned his attention to them and looked back and forth, as if he was examining a piece of fat meat to decide where to start.

"Next, read out the promotion list." Sun Juxiang glanced at the various officials sitting upright, and suddenly smiled mysteriously. This smile made many officials feel a sudden shock in their hearts, making them uneasy and twisting their buttocks back and forth.

Moving is like sitting on pins and needles.

"What the hell, these guys are so arrogant that they really don't let people live anymore." Many officials cursed secretly in their hearts.

After looking at the expressions of most officials, Sun Juxiang was very satisfied with their reactions. According to his previous subordinates, he was considered a member of the Donglin Party. However, after the Donglin Party was named a rebel party, it has been torn apart, and no one dares to

He pretended to be so, and Sun Juxiang was originally in a state of panic, fearing that he would be liquidated.

But who would have thought that he would become the top leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Censor of Zuodu? What is even more surprising is that the powers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were expanded to the entire world. Later, they even had the power to investigate and prosecute people at all levels.

The ever-increasing power and responsibilities soon caused Sun Juxiang to turn to the emperor, and he no longer cared about the local gentry or his family's land.

At this point, he can already look forward to the members of the cabinet team. Even though he is so powerful and can make reports on his own, to be honest, the power in his hands is not as good as those of those few people. They can determine the country's major policies.

When the emperor is away, the cabinet supervises the country. At most, the governor of the governor's office and the internal orders of the inner government will be added.

With this idea in mind, Sun Juxiang was naturally very concerned about the tasks assigned by the emperor. Today's report is a reminder to the officials below, and the same will be true for subsequent officials' promotions.

"Chen Zizhuang, Wu Youting..." One name came out of his mouth, and with each name, the officials below looked grim.

These are cruel officials. In the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate system, they have the most picketed officials and the most officials. Nowadays, these cruel officials have been promoted one after another, but they don’t know the specific positions. Once they come to their own provinces and become chief officials

, that would be tragic.

Tree typical.

Horse bones from Qianjin City.

Many people have thought of these two words, but I have to say that this is a very useful trick. I have not seen how many young censors in the Imperial Palace system have their eyes shining brightly and are eager to try it. They have all just been admitted to the Jinshi this year.

, the young people who were assigned were passionate and impulsive, and desperately wanted to make a career. But now, their boss has given a clear standard. How could this make them not feel excited.

The next step is not over yet. After announcing the candidates for promotion, there are some new organizational structures and policy trends. They will not be included in next year's Zhengdan Dynasty, so they have to be completed this year.

A special land inspection team, a tax supervision team, and a rotating inspection team. A series of various roving organizations have been formed, and the leaders are the same batch of cool officials.

Now, many officials who had no connection with the local area looked almost bitter. Before, they were afraid that they would become the censors of Qiandu in a province. Unexpectedly, they went a step further and became the national level. Let’s not talk about how these groups carry out business.

, but their scope covering the entire world makes everyone fearful.

Now it seems that it is better to become the censor of Qiandu, at least only one province will be harmed.

Sun Juxiang read with an expressionless face, but actually his heart was blooming with joy. What he wanted was this effect, to make all the officials fearful, so that he could carry out his work.

There were originally nine members in the cabinet, but now one-third has gone, leaving only six. There are still three vacancies. Depending on His Majesty’s wishes, it is estimated that no more will be added during this term, so there will only be a new term.

It's time, and when the time comes, even if you don't mind, I can still fight for it.

Of course, the premise is to achieve results.

It all depends on next year. In the bottom of his heart, Sun Juxiang has made the decision to do something big next year.

After Sun Juxiang, there was Cao Yubian, the minister of Dali Temple.

This is the justice of the Supreme Court, who mainly judges cases, and the basis is the Ming Law. However, the Ming Law has been around for so long, and it is not suitable for the turbulent Ming Dynasty today.

However, the Hanlin Academy was made a mess last time, and not a single law was enacted, which slowed down the progress in this area a lot. The people in Dali Temple all acted according to the rules, so there was nothing to say, it was dry.

After talking about it for a while, he made the last announcement, which is also the work plan for next year.

A legislative seminar will be set up to jointly formulate laws with the Hanlin Academy. Regarding this article, many officials are very calm and don't have many ideas. They still don't know the importance of legislation.

The three big heads finished their reports, and then twelve, oh no, eleven departments' ministers began to make their own reports, and the Zongren Mansion was not among them.

The first thing to start is the Ministry of Personnel. In the past year, the Kao Gong Department has shone brightly. It handles many more officials than the Capital Procuratorate. When the entries are completed one by one, the entire Huangji Palace will be filled with people.

Even the sound of breathing has almost disappeared, which shows the shock it brings.

Usually I don’t pay much attention to each of them individually, but when they are summed up, it becomes terrifying.

After Tianguan, there is the God of Wealth. When the Minister of Finance came up, everyone was shocked by the income of more than seven million taels, but when they saw the salary expenditure, they were shocked. Everyone was shocked.

I didn't expect that I would have to spend so much now.

After that, various departments gradually appeared, some were surprising, some were frustrating, and some were frightening. Although this was a summary meeting, some information about the future was always revealed, and it was just a few words.

, making countless people tremble with fear.

Times are hard!

When the report was over, the officials below thought so.

"The summary meeting is over. The next item is tribute from the country!" When Luo Yangxing finished the last part, Liu Ruoyu's sharp voice immediately sounded. Then, a series of voices were transmitted, gradually reaching into the distance.

Afterwards, several small countries in the Indochina Peninsula came to wait outside the main hall. As for the two countries that paid tribute last year, North Korea and Japan, one has already annexed, but the other is having a great time fighting with pirates and has forgotten

Came over.

Before the announcement was made, envoys from several countries almost started to take action. The Guangnan Kingdom stared at the Champa envoys fiercely, the Annan Kingdom looked at the Gaoping Mo family with eager eyes, Chenla and Siam were hostile to each other,

The jabbering language gave the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette in charge of etiquette a headache because they couldn't understand it.

"Quiet, whoever is quarreling will be expelled from the Ming Dynasty immediately." The officials roared and finally suppressed their voices. They finally remembered that this was a court meeting of the Ming Dynasty. It was very solemn. If you were not careful, you might offend someone.

Emperor Ming.

"Consider you lucky."

"When you go back, wait until you die."

After several conversations, the envoys from the six forces finally calmed down and waited slowly. At this moment, a baton-like call came from far and near.
Chapter completed!
