"What does the emperor mean?" Prime Minister Zhang glanced at the impressive memorial.

Everyone should write the memorial, and it is something that the ministers in the palace are not familiar with.Generally speaking, ministers receive five to fifteen empty memorials at the Bureau of Printing and Manufacturing every month according to their grades. The higher the grade, the more they receive.According to the number of affairs of the month, the officials can decide when and how many copies to submit. However, in case of important affairs, they must submit the memorial immediately.Generally speaking, regardless of the rank of the officials themselves, in order to prepare for emergencies, they will receive a few more empty memorials every month.Anyway, no money is required, and the public does not stipulate to receive a share after death.In addition, the courtiers who are able to go to court are generally self-motivated, and they want to be familiar with the emperor no matter what, so that they can be promoted and raised in the future, and reach the pinnacle of life.Therefore, everyone's general concept is that the more diligent you are in every month, the more you can show your love and dedication, and the more chances you have to be recognized in front of the emperor and be appreciated.

In addition, there were courtiers with good writing skills in the previous dynasty, relying on monthly memorials to tell stories to the emperor, and then the strange deeds of the superiors, and the matter of the courtiers being sparse, gradually brewed a demonic trend.There are big things to play, there are small things to play, and there are no things to create things to play!When the first emperor was there, some courtiers even recorded the process of raising parrots in their memorials.Originally, the first emperor was angry with him. After all, he could write the memorial as a diary, so there is no majesty of an imperial official!Coincidentally, this courtier even recorded the price of the millet for the birds in detail in the memorial. The first emperor saw it and wondered why the millet in the palace was a hundred times more expensive?As soon as he thought about it, he went to investigate thoroughly, and then found out a series of huge corruption inside and outside the palace.This is very embarrassing, should I punish this courtier who blatantly raises birds, or should I reward him?Then until the death of the first emperor, this matter was so settled.

After hearing Chen Fu talk about the origin of this memorial, I couldn't help but laugh.Rather than saying that this is an anecdote about the monarch and his ministers, it is better to say that this is the frivolous treatment of political affairs by the current court.How can there be a way to serialize novels in official documents?How can there be an official who writes a breeding diary in a serial novel in the official document and is still safe and sound?In the future, this will be punished. To be more serious, you will be expelled from the party!Although when I died, the official Weibo knew how to be cute and follow the people-friendly route, but has anyone seen the news broadcast to be cute?Frivolous treatment of government affairs is very fatal, and there is no organizational discipline. Especially when such phenomena appear, if they are not corrected, the final result can only be to corrupt the entire team.Now I look at the gorgeous memorial of Pian Si Li Liu at hand and get angry.

With a sullen face, I patted the stacked memorial, which was about to level my eyebrows: "All the lovers are talents, with outstanding literary talent, the plot is vivid and interesting, the succession and transformation are colorful, expressing emotions with the help of things and aspirations, and don't forget to report on government affairs, to give You are really inferior to being an official, you are all great writers who have been delayed by the court!" I slapped the memorial tower with a bang, and with a bang, the pile of memorials jumped off the table, and some even rolled down The stairs stopped at the feet of the ministers in the near row.

The emperor's anger made the courtiers dare not even take a deep breath, and each of them lowered their heads and trembled.I got angry when I saw this quail look, so I called out to Yue Zhi who was sitting next to me: "King Qin, you can give Prime Minister Zhang any book."

Hearing this, Yue Zhi turned his head and glanced at me, then walked up to me and picked out a book casually: "Prime Minister, please read it."

Prime Minister Zhang took the booklet in a daze, opened it and scanned it ten lines at a glance, his expression became more dazed, and he knew nothing was found at a glance.But it's okay, you can't find it, I'll let you find it.

"Prime Minister Zhang, I haven't read the book in your hand yet, so you will read it to me now."

Prime Minister Zhang raised his head and looked at me in surprise. I looked at him seriously. Soon, Prime Minister Zhang gave in. He frowned and began to read: "Chen Yu Shuhua has a book. Today, I am diligent in government and love the people. The sundial thinks that the government is in charge of the government, and it is good for the people's livelihood. Although it was a new appointment last year, there is no doubt that the quality of the emperor is clear. He is well-versed in political affairs and can be regarded as an example among all officials. He is like Yao and Shun, and can be compared to Yuxi. Thinking about this , Fang Zhichen and others are full of food all day long, cuddling with laziness and falling into laziness... The minister asked the emperor to grant the Ministry of Rites a new opportunity. Young heroes are the pillars of the country, and the hope of the country is like the dawn breaking the twilight. The vitality of the Ministry of Rites. Yu Shuhua, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the seventeenth day of the first month of the Shenwu Year."

Prime Minister Zhang read this memorial in a flat and monotonous manner. During the period, there was some commotion among the ministers. The year after the name of the presenter appeared, someone looked at the place where the Minister of Rites was, and the Minister of Rites had shrunk his shoulders. I wish I was a transparent person.It took a whole cup of tea time for Prime Minister Zhang to finish reading the memorial, and his expression was indescribable.

At this time, I said: "Prime Minister, do you know what is going on in Yu Shangshu's memorial?"

Prime Minister Zhang looked at the booklet and then at me, and then said: "I think that Yu Shangshu probably asked His Majesty to appoint young officials to the Ministry of Rites."

I asked again: "Yu Shangshu, is that so?"

A handsome bearded man stood up from the group of ministers, buried his face and said: "Indeed, it is true, Chen Shilang from the Ministry of Rites will retire and return to his hometown after a few years. There is no one to take over the affairs, so I ask Your Majesty to promote a newcomer and appoint a minister of the Ministry of Rites."

"Yu Aiqing, isn't that very good and concise? You go down first." I waved my hand and let Xu Shuhua go, "I just forgot to say that I didn't read all the memorials on the table. I thought it would be more impressive if the ministers told me personally. Prime Minister Zhang has already taken the lead. Now, this memorial is counted as one, and you are not allowed to go to court if you don’t finish reading it! Chen Fu, send it on! "

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, and I saw Chen Fu obediently collecting the memorials all over the floor, and took the little eunuch beside him, and distributed the memorials one by one from front to back.Soon, a stack of memorials was sent out, but some courtiers still did not receive them.Seeing the shoulders they sent down in an instant, I snorted coldly: "You don't have to worry about not having enough memorials, I still have a backlog of papers I haven't read in the past few days!" I directly lifted a stack of bundled memorials from the dragon chair, Fu winked and ran up to receive the memorial.In the end, even Yue Zhi had a copy in his hand.

I saw that everyone had a memorial, so I said: "Let's start then, Prime Minister Zhang read one just now, then let the General Hussars read this one."

General Pan, who was dressed in armor, was full of confusion, so he turned his thick hands twice before opening the booklet. Before reading, he coughed and cleared his throat a little nervously: "My minister Zhang Yuli has a book to play." Surprised, the courtiers were all shocked, they actually got the memorial from Prime Minister Zhang!General Peng looked at me helplessly, then at the prime minister, then at me, and finally decided to bite the bullet and read on, "Times change, things change, and people's hearts move like rivers and rivers. Be like a rock in the mountains, a reed by the water, few of them will shine through the ages, and they will be unknown to the public... The same is true for a king, not happy with things, not sad with oneself, setting up the right way of heaven and earth, and riding the waves of danger and obstacles... The heart is like a bright mirror that shines on all people, and the benefits are like rivers, rivers, and thick soil... Prime Minister Zhang Yuli, the seventeenth day of the first month of the Shenwu Year."

No one knows what kind of mood General Pan is in at the moment. I made some comments on Prime Minister Zhang’s book, which is not so much a commentary, but an exhortation, so I jumped to the next one, and then the next one, In the next one... I will not go down until I finish reading the memorial, and I will do what I say.

I just watched the officials shrinking more and more, becoming more and more desperate... until the clock sounded at noon.At this time, many old ministers' legs were weakening, after all they could only stand.They could only stand, and most of them hadn't eaten breakfast, and the weaker officials were already pale.I am correcting mistakes, not physically punishing courtiers.So when a fifth-rank servant was dry-mouthed and recited the tens of thousands of words of a memorial written by a colleague from the Ministry of Punishment, I turned my head and told Chen Fu to go to the imperial dining room.There is always food to eat, after all, I am also hungry.

Soon, the Imperial Dining Room, which received the order, sent all kinds of dishes into the Chaohui Hall like flowing water.This is the first of its kind, no emperor invited his courtiers to eat at the place where he went to court.But obviously the admonisher who is most keen to find faults doesn't have the energy to find out my faux pas, and the ministers' eyes are green when they see the food.But none of them dared to move without my order.

The servant's voice gradually weakened, and I frowned: "Go on, you haven't finished reading yet. When will you finish reading, and when will everyone have dinner?" I saw that little servant was about to cry, especially when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were right. Seeing him staring at him, he couldn't even read the memorial coherently.

"What are you looking at!" I yelled, "Who wrote the booklets? How many words? How much printing paper was used! Now I know to blame others! I will accept it all! I didn't even eat it!"

The ministers shrank their heads again, but it was the young servant, who heard my words, his voice became weeping, he quickly finished the last sentence, knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted: "Your Majesty, I know I'm wrong!" The memorial was originally intended to report important events in the court, but I used it to write trivial matters, not to mention wasting pen and ink and delaying government affairs, it’s all my minister’s fault!"

He knelt down in such a heartfelt way to wake up all the officials, and they saw everyone knelt down in the hall, almost saying in unison: "The minister is guilty!"

I still maintained a cold face: "Are you aware of your mistake?"

"I know I'm wrong!" They replied in unison.

"Know what to do?" I said again.

At this time, Prime Minister Zhang stepped forward as an example in the court: "Writing is a small matter, and memorials are important. From now on, ministers and others will not write trivial matters into memorials, and their words must be concise and well organized. Ministers and others request punishment, I hope the emperor will Forgive me!"

I had achieved my goal, so I raised my hand to signal Chen Fu, and Chen Fu quickly handed over a stack of papers, I shook the papers and said: "These are the formats of official documents that I have sorted out, and you can compare your recent documents with these formats. The memorial will be rewritten ten times, and a new format will be sent out in the future, and those who fail will be fined for half a year! Let's all eat now!"

Look, I just lost my temper a bit. As a temporary king, I'm still very humane.

The author has something to say:

Memorials were only available in the Qing Dynasty. I think this stem is very useful, so I rubbed it together.Too late, catch bugs tomorrow.
