Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Guo An was startled, and his face suddenly felt aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di stared at Guo An closely and asked, "We would like to know how we wronged Guo Qing?"

Guo An hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister is going to Zhan Shifu in the East Palace on time to do the ceremony.

Later, after being reminded by Nie Zhanshi, he rushed to the palace to see His Majesty...

But, who would have thought that the palace is so big and the palace roads are so complicated!

Wei Chen is not familiar with the palace, so he wandered around for a full hour before he found His Majesty! "

"Wandered around for an hour?"

Zhu Di could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "Can't you find a guard or a chamberlain to guide you?"

Guo An said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I am an upright fourth-rank official after all. How could I not know the way to the palace and not find your Majesty?"

If this matter spreads, not only will he be laughed out of his mouth by those people, but he will even be impeached by some censors.

However, after Wei Chen wandered around for more than half an hour, he finally realized that he was wrong.

The palace is so big and complicated, so there is no shame in the humble minister not knowing the way! "

Zhu Di said with a strange expression: "That's why you still need to find someone to ask for directions!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhu Di: "..."

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

Also lost...

Guo An didn't seem to be aware of Zhu Di and Yi Shiha's expressions, but asked with worry on his face: "Why is your Majesty's expression so bad?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di was shocked and instantly forgot about Guo An's embarrassment, but his face was full of grief.

"Guo Qing, do you know how hard it has been for us in the palace while you have been enjoying yourself in Beiping Mansion for the past two months, enjoying the blessings of the whole family and family happiness.

Working hard all day long, you need to get up before Yin hour every day, and you can't fall asleep until Hai hour at night! "

"what?"

Guo An was shocked, "Why is Your Majesty like this?"

"It's those thieves!"

Zhu Di said angrily: "Guo Qing, look at how many memorials are piled up on our desk?

This was only delivered early in the morning by the officials below.

At noon and in the afternoon, the officials will bring us several large baskets! "

"hiss……"

Guo An then turned his head, looked around carefully, and took a cold breath.

There are two tables in the hall.

The two piles of memorials on the desk where Zhu Di was sitting were two feet high.

On the other table, there are four piles of memorials, which are also nearly two feet high.

Behind the desk, there was a hard-working person who was quickly reviewing the memorial. He couldn't see his appearance, so Guo An didn't pay much attention to it.

"Your Majesty, why are there so many memorials!"

"Humph, those officials handed us all the memorials from the various state capitals, as well as the various health offices, ministries, departments and monasteries!"

Zhu Di said bitterly, "This group of mediocre officials don't even dare to deal with trivial matters. They all bring them to us for decision-making. Let's see, they just want to tire us to death!"

"This……"

Guo An frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, may I ask that when the late emperor was in power, he also issued so many memorials?"

"..."

As if recalling some painful memory, Zhu Di was silent for a while before nodding slightly.

"Huang Kao always likes to do things personally, and he likes to review memorials!"

Guo An sighed softly, "I don't know how the late emperor reviewed so many memorials!"

"Nature is just like us, rising when the rooster crows and sleeping at the end of the day!"

Zhu Di said helplessly.

Then, he remembered something and his expression softened.

"However, with Guo Qing here, it will be easier than the Imperial Examination!"

Guo An's eyes widened instantly, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

"What does His Highness mean?"

Zhu Di said: "We trust Guo Qing the most. We have been dizzy looking at these memorials all day long. I wonder if Guo Qing can help us share our worries?"

Guo An's face changed greatly and he said in disbelief: "Your Majesty wants a minister to help you review the memorial?" Zhu Di nodded with relief, "Guo Qing is indeed our minister!"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

Guo An shook his head quickly, "Wei Chen is just a small official in the Eastern Palace, Zhan Shifu, and the memorial is related to the military and government affairs of the Ming Dynasty. How can Wei Chen have the ability to review it...

Your Majesty, only the crown prince can approve important matters such as memorials.

Why don't Your Majesty summon His Highness the Crown Prince and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince follow His Majesty to review the memorials and learn to handle government affairs at the same time! "

Seeing Guo An refuse without thinking, Zhu Di looked unhappy and said softly: "Chi'er is right here!"

"His Royal Highness is here?"

Guo An was taken aback.

"naturally."

Zhu Di nodded slightly and looked at the table with four stacks of memorials piled on one side.

"Is this His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Guo An was shocked.

"teacher!"

Before Zhu Di could speak, Zhu Gaochi slowly stretched his head out from behind the desk.

However, perhaps due to the long period of reviewing memorials, Zhu Gaochi's face was tired and his eyes were dull.

"Your Highness!"

Guo An was startled again and quickly saluted.

Zhu Di said again: "Guo Qing, it is very laborious for us and Chi'er to review so many memorials."

"Yes!"

Guo An nodded slowly, "How can these memorials, which are all trivial and trivial, tax your Majesty and His Highness so much?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

Guo An added: "The humble minister advises that your majesty can set up a cabinet, and the cabinet will help your majesty review the memorial!"

"cabinet?"

Zhu Di was a little puzzled.

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "My Ming Dynasty has so many memorials that need your Majesty's approval every day. If things go on like this, Your Majesty will definitely be tired of these tedious memorials.

In fact, no matter how hard your Majesty works, there will always be times when you are exhausted, and it would be bad to delay important matters.

Therefore, if the ministers offer advice, Your Majesty can select five, seven, or nine academicians with both ability and political integrity from the Hanlin Academy, and they will form a cabinet.

Let them follow His Majesty and assist His Majesty in reviewing the memorials...

After the memorials of all sizes across the country are collected and submitted by the General Affairs Envoy, they are first submitted to His Majesty for review by the Chief of Ceremonies.

His Majesty will then submit these memorials to the Cabinet.

The bachelors of the cabinet are responsible for drafting the handling opinions.

The Supervisor of Ceremonies will then submit these opinions to His Majesty for review. If Your Majesty feels it is appropriate, he will approve it and the Sixth Section will proofread and issue it..."

"good!"

Zhu Di was overjoyed and instantly understood the beauty of the cabinet.

"This way, we don't have to wake up every day when the rooster crows, and we can't fall asleep until Haishi!"

"It is a blessing for a humble minister to be able to solve your Majesty's worries!"

Guo An said quickly.

Zhu Di couldn't help but said excitedly: "Damn it, why doesn't Guo Qing come back soon, so we don't have to work so hard to deal with the memorial for such a long time!"

Guo An also sighed with emotion: "I never expected that Your Majesty would work so hard every day and need to deal with so many memorials!"

Behind him, Zhu Gaochi also looked excited.

If the cabinet is established, he won't have to suffer like this!

Zhu Di asked impatiently: "Guo Qing, who do you think we should choose as the cabinet bachelor?"

"This……"

Several familiar names flashed through Guo An's mind, but he opened his mouth and said slowly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. We have just returned from Peking and are not familiar with the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.

Therefore, Weichen dare not speak lightly! "

"Too!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly, "You guys always only come up with ideas. After you come up with your ideas, you don't care about anything else!"

Guo An: "..."

Zhu Di added: "Bachelor of the cabinet, we must choose carefully!"
