April 23, 2019, Pingguang, Yanli, this was a rainy day. Yanjing City had been raining for two consecutive days. The entire Yanjing City was shrouded in dark rain, making the largest capital of Yan Kingdom exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

There is a simple and solemn yamen in the Thirteenth House of the Host. There are two large stone lions with fangs and claws squatting in front of the door, which is very imposing. At this time, the stone lion looks even more ferocious in the rain.

The raindrops slid down the glazed tiles, drizzling like thin threads, falling into the corners of the walls and the ditches built, flowing down.

This is the cabinet.

The thirteenth institute of the east and eight districts of the west are located, and it can be said that it is the brain of the huge state machine of the entire Yan State.

The memorials presented from all over the State of Yan will be collected in this place. Every day, messengers from all parties will submit the memorials to the cabinet's presentation place, where dozens of officials accept the memorials of the memorials and affairs items will be classified and processed and transferred to the Nazhesi Department.

The Nazhesi Department is located in the center of the abdomen of the inner yamen, and is also the widest office among the vast inner yamen, accounting for one-third of the entire cabinet.

Here, there are always officials with more than 40 people to review and collect the contents of the memorials, and according to the classification, the most concise memorials are established, and the contents of the memorials are listed concisely with the officials who have posted the memorials.

Regarding money, grain and people's livelihood, prisons for criminal cases, military equipment and defense adjustments, relevant civil engineering projects in various places, border garrison, foreign envoy negotiations, trade exchanges, and local students' examinations...!

A huge country has huge affairs, and all kinds of complicated affairs are summarized here, and these diligent officials split them one by one and presented them to the rotating officials every day for review, and then handed them over to the six ministries for further detailed processing.

Therefore, although the cabinet is the most authoritative place in the entire Yan State, it is also the busiest place. The rotating officials on the daily basis are the most powerful and the hardest.

The rotating officer is naturally on duty by cabinet members. Two cabinet members are on duty every day to jointly handle the affairs of the day. Of course, there are naturally cabinet officials who assist in handling the matters.

The rotating official office is the innermost state court in the inner yamen. It is very elegant but solemn Sihe Courtyard. In the middle is the rotating official office, and on both sides are the places where cabinet officials assist in handling the complaints.

Not many people in this small courtyard, the entire Yan State, were qualified to come in, and no one dared to easily approach the main house with black bricks and black tiles in the middle.

The cabinet is the political key of Yan State and the head of Yan State. This place with black bricks and black tiles is the head of the cabinet. Except for the cabinet members, no matter how big the official you are, you must not step into it easily.

Of course, although the rotating officials are busy on duty, it does not mean that they have to read all the memorials. There are thousands of memorials every day, and even gods may not be able to finish their memorials.

After the officials of the Cabinet submittal department classify the complaints and submit them to the Nazhe Department, the officials of the Nazhe Department will quickly deal with them, classify the complaints according to the level, and then transfer them to the State Council.

Generally speaking, the folds coming up are divided into five levels.

The yellow head is folded, the white head is folded, the black head is folded, and the gray head is folded, and the most urgent and undelayed one is the red head.

Generally speaking, the folds including the blackhead folds are sealed by the Nazheji, that is, the cover of the folds is marked with grades according to the level.

As for the gray-headed fold and the red-headed fold, the person who presented the above sealed the number with a fire seal and included it in the most urgent category.

Of course, it does not mean that all things can be pasted with gray and red heads. Regarding the hierarchy, Yan State has a complete set of rules. Officials who are qualified to present a note are also clear about that set of rules.

If it is just ordinary affairs and has not reached the established level setting, it is easy to seal the gray or red head fold, and if it is not done well, it will be criticized by the cabinet for bluffing and defrauding the court.

Therefore, it is not urgent to see that red-headed folds rarely appear.

This is a very efficient assembly line in Yan State. From a certain perspective, although the existence of the cabinet system has made the family's power too great and led to the weakening of imperial power, it is undeniable that this system allows many major issues in Yan State to be handled and resolved the most quickly. Overall, it plays a crucial role in the development and stability of Yan State.

Every day, the main house of the State Council will present the red-headed and gray-headed folds of the day as soon as possible. In the vast memorials, there are naturally very few of these two types of folds. Relatively speaking, there are dozens of folds a day, and red-headed folds may not be encountered in a month.

The first thing the rotating officer needs to deal with is these two types of emergency complaints. Then he will review the clear comments presented by the Certificate to form a catalogue, select some more important ones from them and draw them out from the office rooms on both sides of the State Council for processing.

According to the rules of the cabinet, the content of the gray-headed note is to copy several copies and quickly deliver them to other cabinet members who are not on duty. Each member summarizes his opinions. If there is no big dispute, he will be more comfortable to follow a few to make a decision.

The red-headed memorial is different. Once the red-headed memorial appears, the cabinet members must all be present, discuss and make a ruling.

...

...

He Qingzhi sat in the carriage, and along the way, he was always thinking about his thoughts.

The two grey-headed memorials that were expedited by 800 miles the day before yesterday arrived in the cabinet. They were two memorials by Situ Jing and the supervisor Ling Lei. Although the words were different, the content was exactly the same.

When He Qingzhi learned the content, he was still a little proud. There was no doubt that his brother was doing well there. I think that Jiexun could be heard so soon. The unknown Guigu staff member who was hidden behind the scenes made great contributions?

Thinking of the expressions of Japanese, Korean Xuandao and Su Guanya that day, He Qingzhi wanted to laugh in his heart.

Although another group of officials was quickly sent to Xichun to investigate the matter, He Qingzhi believed that with Xu You's plan, even if he sent ten groups of officials, he would not find any clues.

After all, it was the land of the He family.

He Qingzhi leaned on the carriage, thinking about Han Xuanchang's current mood. He lost his son in middle age. This time the blow to the Han family should be very severe, right? This time, it should also make the Han family understand the He family's power, right?

He lifted the curtains of the car. It was still drizzling outside. The drizzling weather always made people feel more dull, but He Qingzhi was in a very relaxed mood.

The carriage stopped in front of the cabinet yamen. A guard had already lifted the curtains and served outside with oil paper umbrellas.

He Qingzhi sorted out his official uniform and then got off the carriage. The oil-paper umbrella covered him with drizzle. Several sword-bearing guards protected him. As soon as He Qingzhi got off the carriage, the carriage immediately turned around and stopped at the horse house next to him.

Just as I was about to enter the yamen, I heard another sound of horse hooves. A carriage came from the opposite side, and seven or eight guards were escorting them on both sides and were coming quickly.

He Qingzhi smiled coldly, and he naturally knew that the person in the carriage was Hu Xuexin, the minister of Dali Temple, who was the rotating official who was taking charge with him today.

"I'm afraid my nephew is dead, so it's not easy?" He Qingzhi thought to himself. Seeing that Hu Xuexin had already got out of the car, he bowed and smiled, "Mr. Hu, it's early enough!"

Hu Xuexin held an oil-paper umbrella and looked at He Qingyi, saying, "Didn't Lord He earlier?"

"The weather was not good these two days, and I woke up in the middle of the night, so I came early." He Qingzhi smiled.

"It seems that Lord He has too many worries." Hu Xuexin walked over with an umbrella and said calmly: "You have to pay attention to your health!"

"I'm worried about it if I have time." He Qingzhi smiled and then approached and whispered: "Mr. Hu, can Han Xuanchang and Han be fine in the past two days? Don't worry him, it's just missing. It's auspicious person and heavenly world. I think Han Mo will be fine. I originally wanted to visit his mansion, but... Hehe, you know, I'm afraid that the Han family now has a lot of opinions about me and blames our He family for not taking good care of Han Mo. So... If Lord Hu goes to his mansion, I'll help me convey my greetings. I'm very sorry for this!"

Hu Xuexin's face darkened and he sneered: "Mr. He, you must know that on the ground of your He family, a minister of the Ministry of Personnel died and a general of the Imperial Guardian was missing... This matter is really that simple? As a minister of the Dali Temple, my favorite is criminal cases. If the officials sent this time cannot find out the truth of the matter, I will bring the coffin personally at that time, and I will go and check it carefully...!"

He Qingzhi's expression was a little stiff, and he just said, "That's within Lord Hu's responsibilities. I really hope Lord Hu will check it out in person, so as not to be suspicious in the back, and think that these things are related to my He family!"

The eight guards in front of the inner yamen bowed and saluted. When they saw the two rotating officials not coming in for a moment, they argued with oil paper umbrellas in the rain, and could only bow their bodies to welcome them.

At this moment, a person hurried out from inside, and didn't care about the light rain outside, came out directly, bowed and said respectfully: "Two sirs, you are here..."

He Qingzhi naturally knew this official, one of the chief officers of the State Council officials, and asked, "What happened in a hurry?"

The head of the court looked awe-inspiring and said respectfully: "After the words of the master, early this morning, thirteen red heads were folded and presented...!"

"What?" Hu Xuexin was shocked, and He Qingzhi suddenly changed color.

Red-headed folds are rare, so you should not mark the red heads when it comes to something urgent. In the past, there were few such red-headed folds a month, but thirteen of them suddenly came. How could this not shock people?

Hu Xuexin didn't say much, and walked into the door quickly. He Qingzhi also quickly followed and asked while walking, "Where did the memorial come from? Is it a border?"

Generally speaking, there are many such big fights, and there are probably changes in the border.

"Not a border." The head of the official replied: "The thirteen copies were all submitted from 800 miles from Yichun County and arrived at the same time!"

He Qingzhi stopped for a moment when he heard this, and did not wrinkle instantly.

Yichun? Thirteen red heads folded?

His nerves suddenly became nervous. What kind of big thing happened over there?

...

Thirteen red heads were folded, sealed by fire seals, and placed on the desk table in the main room, lined up, and the red paper heads were sealed with fire seals on each fold.

The bright red paper head is like blood.

He Qingzhi's eyebrows had not let go. Seeing the thirteen red heads folded in front of him, he had a faint premonition...!

He stretched out his hand and wanted to get the red head fold. He really wanted to know what happened in Yichun!

"Mr. He!" Hu Xuexin's voice rang coldly: "We seem to be supposed to... inform others, right?"

He Qingzhi stretched out his hand and couldn't help but take it back.

This is a red-headed fold, and you cannot dismantle it privately, otherwise it will be illegal. It is a little lighter, a salary will be removed from the post, and a little heavy. If someone uses this to attack, he may even have life worries.
