Daming: I help my wife be the empress

From [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., Auntie Zhu took the female official Liu Zhu, secretary Liu Shuying, Zheng Sen, and dozens of female soldiers from the Suzaku Camp to visit ten yamen in turn.

Except for the four old departments of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, the other ministries have always been in a state of being established, with a severe shortage of officials and unclear responsibilities.

But Auntie Zhu feels that even if there are difficulties, the work should be carried out slowly, and must not stop at the same place.

Among the ministries, the Ministry of Rites is the most respected in name, so Aimee Zhu came to the Ministry of Rites first.

Aimee Zhu didn't notify in advance, so when she saw her bringing dozens of people over, a clerk who had just walked out of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites was quite surprised, and immediately saluted and said, "See Your Majesty!"

"Flat body."

After leaving two words, Auntie Zhu entered the yamen of the Ministry of Rites without stopping.

The overall shape of the former six yamen is somewhat similar to the rectangular factory buildings of later generations, but it is an ancient building, and there are compartments in it according to different functions.

In fact, it is similar to the office space of the organization composed of independent offices and office halls in later generations.

After all, if it were not for the explosion of science and technology and the industrial revolution, Hao Guangming's later generations would only be three or four hundred years away from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

Therefore, when Auntie Zhu walked in first, what she saw was a few mid-level and low-level officials and a dozen officials sitting in front of tables and paddling water.

Some are reading, some are writing something leisurely, some are dozing off, some are drinking tea, and they are all in a very healthy state.

And because of the small number of people, it seems that the "office hall" is quite empty.

Auntie Zhu frowned when she saw this.

Hao Guangming, who saw this scene through the phone camera, couldn't help laughing: "It seems that these people regard the Ministry of Rites as a 'nursing home'."

When ten or twenty officials from the Ministry of Rituals saw Aimee Zhu and the others coming in, they were all stunned for a while, and after two or three seconds, they all ran to the empty space in front of Aimee Zhu in a hurry, saluting irregularly and saying: "See Your Majesty!"

Hearing the movement, Huang Daozhou came out of a duty room - according to the rules before the Ming Dynasty, as a cabinet minister, he should work in the Meridian Gate Cabinet, and he was not even allowed to hold a ministerial position concurrently.

But by the end of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of regulation was useless, and there were many cabinet ministers who also served as ministers.

Aimee Zhu stipulated that only three cabinet ministers should handle government affairs in the Meridian Gate Tower on a daily basis, and the rest of the cabinet ministers would stay in various departments to preside over ministerial affairs and take turns in rotation.If there is something that needs to be discussed by all the cabinet ministers, then the people will gather together.Huang Daozhou is not on duty in the cabinet today, so he works in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Huang Daozhou saluted Aimee Zhu unhurriedly, and asked, "Your Majesty, why didn't the Ministry of Rites send someone to inform you?"

Auntie Zhu almost laughed angrily, and said: "If I had sent someone to inform me in advance, how could I see you all taking such a leisurely way to preserve your health?"

Although it was the first time for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to hear such words, they also heard the meaning of sarcasm.

The officials lowered their heads after performing the salute, but now they lower their heads.

Huang Daozhou also had an ugly face, frowning and asked: "Why did your majesty say that?"

He really didn't understand why Aimee Zhu was angry.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites all went to work on time, sat in the yamen honestly, and did not make any mistakes.

"It seems that they don't think there is a problem with them." Hao Guangming said, "Some things need to be guided slowly after all, so you should explain it clearly to them."

Aimee Zhu thought that her visit to various ministries this time was for the purpose of understanding the specific work of the ministries and giving them guidance, so she sighed and asked, "Mr. Shi Zhai, what are the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites?"

Huang Daozhou was knowledgeable, and he said without hesitation when he heard the words: "The Ministry of Rites was established in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was one of the central institutions in the Sui Dynasty.

As far as my Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites not only had the Rites, Sacrifice, Refined Meals, and the Four Cleansing Departments for Host and Guest, but also governed the Huitong Hall and the Casting and Printing Bureau. "

The Huitong Hall is responsible for receiving foreign guests, and the Casting and Printing Bureau is responsible for casting various seals required by the imperial court.

These are common sense for Ming Dynasty officials.

Of course Auntie Zhu didn't ask Huang Daozhou for common sense, so after hearing Huang Daozhou's words, she said: "Since Mr. Shizhai knows the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites, you can think that the Ministry of Rites has already done its job well, and all the officials have nothing to do. gone?"

Huang Daozhou said: "The Ministry of Rites was originally the most leisurely government office among the original six ministries. Your Majesty separated the power over schools and imperial examinations to form the Ministry of Education. Naturally, there is nothing to do now."

Seeing Huang Daozhou complaining about the Ministry of Education, Auntie Zhu almost laughed angrily.

She said: "Not to mention that the Ministry of Education is still in preparation, there is no one, and the authority has not been officially separated from the Ministry of Rites.

Even if it has been separated, does the Ministry of Rites have nothing else to do?
For example, the matter of my succession must be notified not only in the country, but also in the neighboring vassals. "

After hearing this, Huang Daozhou wanted to say that he didn't do it because of lack of manpower, but seeing the officials around him who were caught by Auntie Zhu paddling, he opened his mouth but didn't say a word.

Seeing that Huang Daozhou didn't say a word, Zhu Yu knew that he had realized his mistake, so she said: "Let's do our own things, I will talk to Mr. Shi Zhai about other things."

All the officials of the Ministry of Rites returned to their respective positions one after another, pretending to be busy.

Auntie Zhu knew that it was impossible to change these people's style for a moment, and they didn't even know how to change, so she didn't say any more.

She went straight to Zodiac Zhou's housekeeper.

The value rooms of the various ministries and offices are all semi-open - three walls, one open.

After Aimee Zhu entered, she unceremoniously sat on the only chair, and said, "Go and bring Mr. Shi Zhai a chair."

There are female soldiers to follow suit.

After Huang Daozhou sat down, Aunt Zhu said, "I know that Mr. Shi Zhai disagrees with the separation of the Ministry of Education from the Ministry of Rites, but this is a change that must be made in order to better cultivate talents.

The establishment of the Ministry of Education did not happen overnight, and it may take half a year to a year to be established.

I hope that Mr. Shi Zhai can still lead the Ministry of Rites and manage education as well as possible.We need to know that talents are the foundation of a country's prosperity. "

Huang Daozhou was indeed dissatisfied with the separation of the Ministry of Education from the Ministry of Rites, but he did not ignore education because of this.

He also knows that education is very important to the country, and he is very pleased with Aimee Zhu's attitude towards education.

So he said sincerely: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is no authority over education, and now the Ministry of Rites can only govern education matters.

Jurisdiction over schools and academic affairs in various places was handed over to the inspector censor during Taizu and Chengzu. Deputy envoy, Qian Shi. "

Although Huang Daozhou's tone is sincere, he is still complaining.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of scientific examinations, and the actual management of the school and academic affairs is the academic officer, so Aimee Zhu approached the Ministry of Rites to ask the Ministry of Rites, did she find the wrong person?
not at all.

Because in Aimee Zhu's plan, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will also undergo major changes.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty's education officer is the imperial envoy in the two capitals, and he belongs to the inspector department in the local area. In fact, he is also under the jurisdiction of the inspector censor, and he can also go directly to the central government... The authority can be said to be a mess, and it should be changed .

On the other side, when Hao Guangming heard this, he made a suggestion to Aimee Zhu.

After listening, Zhu Wei said to Huang Daozhou: "Mr. Shi Zhai should know that the functions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have been greatly changed, not to mention that the appointment of academic officials is actually not under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In this way, I will later set up an education department to manage the education officials in Zhili and other provinces.

As for the Tixue Department, it will be temporarily placed in the Ministry of Rites, and Mr. Shi Zhai will manage it on his behalf. How about it? "

Most officials in the Ming Dynasty knew about the issue of the leadership of the learning system. It was just that the matter involved the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the local procuratorate, the cabinet, and the imperial power in the past, and no one took any action.

Now that we have gone through the troubled times at the end of Ming Dynasty, the constraints of the past have disappeared, or have been relaxed, and Aimee Zhu has great authority. On the contrary, it is easy to solve the problem of the ownership of the Tixue system.

Therefore, after Huang Daozhou thought about it for a while, his old eyes lit up, and he sincerely praised: "Your Majesty's move is the most appropriate, and I take orders."

At the end, Huang Daozhou got up and bowed to Zhu Yu.

Seeing that Huang Daozhou, a minister who is a man of strength, has been dealt with, Zhu Wei is relieved and feels a little sense of accomplishment.

Then she moved on to the really important things.

"The development of future generations is based on science, and the development of science is based on mathematics. Therefore, I hope that after the establishment of the Department of Education, mathematics can be promoted everywhere."
