Changchun Garden faces north and south. The south of the park is the palace part for government and residential use. The north is a garden part mainly based on waterscape. It was built in the 23rd year of Kangxi and was completed after six years. The name of Changchun Garden was named by Kangxi himself, meaning that "all the four seasons are spring, eight winds come to the court, and six qi are open." The green in the garden is sluggish, the red is full of flowers, the earth is full of flats, and the pavilions are elegant and simple. It is characterized by nature and elegance, which is very suitable for summer and summer.

Changchun Garden can be divided into three roads from north to south, east, middle and west. The "Nine Classics and Three Things" hall in the main palace gate of the middle road is the main hall in the garden, which is a place to meet court officials and listen to political affairs. The east road is mainly "Danningju", the front hall is the place to manage government affairs, select museums and introduce them, and the back hall is the bedroom, which is a place to handle daily government affairs. The buildings on the west road are all built on the Yuquan River in the garden, and the core building is Wuyizhai, which is the place where the prince reads.

Compared to the Forbidden City, Zhenwu prefers Changchun Garden. After reviewing the memorials, he saw that the sky was a little dark, but it was not raining. He left the room and walked all the way to Houhu Lake. The long dike of Houhu Lake is full of lilacs, peach blossoms, orchids, and lotus in the lake are raising lotus, which is very pleasing to the eye. He likes to walk along the long dike the most.

In the past month, there has been no major incident in the court, and Zhenwu has not made any trouble. Since this year, he has not only confiscated the military power of the Five Banners, but also expanded the new army of the imperial guards, allowing the bannermen to enter the military workshop, and has also innovated the military system by increasing the salary, adjusting the main personnel in the court. It should also be appropriately calmed down. Haste will not be achieved, and it must be given time for the royal family and civil and military ministers in the court to digest and accept it.

Zhenwu scattered casually all the way, watching the scenery on the long dike casually. A little eunuch ran after him and reported to Bao Fuquan in a low voice. Bao Fuquan took a few steps tightly, followed Zhenwu, and reported to the report in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Hai Zhang, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Gamintu, the Minister of Revenue, handed over a sign to see him."

Zhenwu nodded, and Hai Zhang and Gamintu came to ask for a meeting. They must have reported to the selection and palace maids. He was about to hit the Interior Office. He came just in time and looked around casually. He pointed to a pavilion in front and said, "Take them here, I will see them at that pavilion."

Bao Fuquan hurriedly bowed and responded, leaving and instructed the eunuch to pronounce the eunuch.

Zhenwu walked towards the pavilion. In order to avoid gossip, Kangxi went to the Summer Resort and took away all the concubines. Of course, there were a large number of palace maids and eunuchs accompanying him. In this way, some people were not in sufficient staff. The selection of palace maids was to supplement the staff, while the selection of girls was to enrich the harem. Of course, there was also the intention of taking this opportunity to win over the hearts of the people. However, Zhenwu was not very enthusiastic about the talent show.

The daughters of the current officials, who are under thirteen years, have no disability, and have no foot binding, and are not allowed to take the lead. They are not allowed to marry before they are allowed to take the lead.

The daughters of those whose ranks are below the aforementioned positions, the daughters of officials who were dismissed from office, the daughters of officials, the daughters of soldiers, and the orphans who lost their fathers shall not be sent to the election.

The reason why the regulations are so strict is to ensure the safety of the palace. But in this way, the range of choices can be greatly narrowed, which is incomparable to the pre-Ming Dynasty's draft. This is also the reason why Zhenwu is not enthusiastic about drafts. However, even if he is unwilling to do so, he dare not destroy the draft rules at will.

The Minister of Revenue Ga Mintu and the Chief Supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Haizhang, led by the eunuch, soon came to the pavilion. After kowtowing to the ceremony, Zhenwu said, "Don't give up the ceremony, just stand and reply."

"I thank the emperor for his kindness." After the two of them stood up, Gamintu bowed and said, "Emperor, the chieftains of each banner have sent the female candidates to the Ministry of Revenue for filing, and the women who serve as bannermen have all arrived in the capital." After a slight pause, he continued, "I beg the emperor to set the date for delivery."

After pondering for a moment, Zhenwu said strangely: "I have agreed to the draft for only more than a month. The Ministry of Revenue has written an article on the Eight Banners and the Chief Executive Offices of Zhili provinces and serve as bannermen. Guangdong and Yunnan and Guizhou are remote. At this time, the author should have received the document. Why has the beautiful girl who runs for the election rushed to the capital?"

"Go back to the emperor." Gamintu hurriedly explained: "A woman who has always been stationed in other places has defected to her relatives in Beijing early in the year of her election. One is to contact each other through this, and the other is to adapt to the water and soil. Many beautiful girls of the right age arrived in the capital at the beginning of last year."

Zhenwu looked at Hai Zhang with a slight nose, and he looked at Hai Zhang. He was promoted from the doctor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the position of the General Manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Hai Zhang hurriedly bowed and said, "Report to the emperor, all the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been named and booked. I beg the emperor to set the date of delivery."

Although the show girl selected by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue’s talent show girl are the same, the treatment of the two is very different.

The girls who are selected for every three years are all women from the family of officials. Once selected into the palace, they will most likely be given the title, which is the identity of the master. For the selection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are selected into the palace, which is the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which are the most women from the family of the bannermen who are selected into the palace.

Of course, all the women in the palace belong to the emperor. If they are favored and favored by the emperor, even the palace maids can be given the title and become the master. Prince Lian Yinsi's biological mother Liang Concubine was born as a palace maid.

After pondering for a moment, Zhenwu said: "Show delivery of reading in three days."

Gamintu and Hai Zhang hurriedly bowed and said, "Slaves honor their orders."

After glanced at Hai Zhang, Zhenwu slowly spoke: "I visited the capital yesterday in a private visit and heard a nursery rhyme, 'The small painting of the new tree in the house is not old, this person must be the Ministry of Internal Affairs.' Have you heard of it as the chief supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

After hearing this, Hai Zhang was immediately scared and sweated. Who was so viciously slandering the Interior Ministry behind the scenes? Fang Xinshu's small painting is not old, and this is a portrayal of the nouveau riche. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, I have not heard this nursery rhyme. The Interior Ministry has seven departments and three courts under its jurisdiction, and there are many members. It is inevitable that the quality is uneven. When the slave returns, he will definitely investigate it strictly."

The Interior Affairs Office was unique to the Qing Dynasty. Its responsibilities were to "support the family affairs of the emperor" and manage the affairs of the palace. There were many similar institutions throughout the dynasties, such as the Shaofu in the Han Dynasty and the eunuch in the Tang Dynasty. However, the Interior Affairs Office of the Qing Dynasty had developed its functions to the extreme.

The main function of the Office of the Internal Affairs is to manage royal affairs, such as royal daily meals, clothing, warehouse storage, etiquette, engineering, farms, animal husbandry, guards, mountain and lake hunting, etc. Its office has as many as 3,000, more than ten times more than the Ministry of Revenue, which has the most complex affairs. It can be said to be the largest agency in the Qing Dynasty.

Its members are composed of fifteen chariots and assistants from the Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, eighteen chariots and assistants, two Korean chariots and assistants, one Huizi chariots and thirty chariots and eunuchs. Its organization is compatible with the content and characteristics of the two systems of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Thirteen Yamen in the early Qing Dynasty. After decades of development, it finally formed a huge palace service agency with the Seventh Division and the Three Courts as the main body and the more than 40 other chariots. For example, Jiangnan Weaving, the eunuchs in charge of the palace, and the courtesan maids, all belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs was not only the largest number of secondary vocational officials in the Qing Dynasty and the largest organization, but also the recognized lack of fat and shortage of frustration. No department could be as rich as the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhenwu did not want the money he had seized was cheaper for these slaves. However, he could not do without the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After all, many things about the royal family cannot be known to outsiders, nor can they be under the supervision of court officials. Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot allow court officials to be involved in it, cannot be subject to the jurisdiction of the court, and can only be responsible for himself. Only in this way can the sacred, mysterious and authoritative of the imperial power be protected and the interests of the royal family can be protected.

After pondering slightly, he said in a deep voice: "I heard that someone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is running antique shops, pawn shops, wooden factories and other transactions, so I will conduct a thorough investigation."

"Zhe." Hai Zhang knelt down and said in his heart, but he was secretly complaining. He had a pawnshop and a timber farm in his name. I don't know if Zhenwu knew it. If Zhenwu didn't know and he would lose money by himself, he would lose money. But if Zhenwu knew it and he didn't take the initiative to admit it, what would it end? After a little weighing, he decided to admit it. Once the Office of the Internal Affairs was strictly investigated, it would definitely be bitten out. If it was too late to recognize it, it would be too late. Besides, as long as he could keep the position of the General Manager of the Office of the Internal Affairs, he was still worried that he would not make any money?

After making up his mind, he took off his top of his body, kowtowed three times in a row, and then replied calmly: "Report to the emperor, the slave deserves to die. There is a pawnshop and a timber farm under his name."

This is a big surprise to Zhenwu. When Haizhang was promoted, he was evaluated by many parties. His reputation for being honest was praised by everyone. Unexpectedly, there was a pawn shop and a timber farm in his name. His face immediately became ugly. Haizhang, who is also honest, still runs a pawn shop and a timber farm. What is the situation for others?

Gamintu didn't expect such a situation to happen. Seeing Zhenwu's ugly expression, he was impressed by Hai Zhang's sincerity, and he secretly sighed that he was unlucky. He would not dare to stand again and kneel down silently.

Zhenwu glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Gamintu doesn't need to kneel down, this matter has nothing to do with you." As he said that, he stared at Hai Zhang and said: "Where did you come from the original silver pawn shop and timber yard?"

"Go back to the emperor." Hai Zhang kowtowed again before saying truthfully: "Slaves earn money by repairing the palace."
