Ye Weiyang.

The emperor stood on the newly built star-gazing tower of 100 feet high in Luoyang Palace. This star-gazing tower designed by Yan Fei who entered the cold palace and was built by his brother Yan Liben and Yan Lide, is another miracle in the history of architecture.

It towers into the clouds, a hundred feet above the ground. At night, people stand upstairs, as if they have already climbed into the sky.

The night wind blew the emperor's collar, and the clothes brushed across the emperor's face.

The thirty-six-year-old emperor sighed that his life was half over.

It has been twenty years since I came to this era. The past has flashed through my mind one by one, and some of them have even become blurred.

"Sage, the wind is high and cold in the Picking Star Tower, be careful of catching a cold." The eunuch reminded.

Feng Lishi has resigned from the position of eunuch in prison due to his old age and illness. He suffered from Feng Wen joint disease. Now the emperor gave him a gift to Jinling, Nanjing to retire. The eunuch who succeeded him was Wei Zhongxian, who had performed outstandingly in recent years. This eunuch who once served as the ship escort of the Bohai Fleet, was skilled and skilled. He was promoted all the way and finally became an eunuch in the eunuch. He has been in office for several years and has performed well.

The emperor was condescending to the heights and overlooked the entire Luoyang City.

At night, Luoyang City under the starry sky, most of the yards have fallen into darkness and tranquility, but there are also several lively commercial streets that are still brightly lit. This is the Luoyang Night Market that does not close at night. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City who cannot sleep here every night, eat midnight snacks, go to the night market, drink and watch dance, etc.

His eyes turned west, and it was pitch black in the distance.

The emperor knew that the prince was in the Beiting Yechuan thousands of miles away.

There was also one of the emperor's elder brothers and another son.

Turn around and return to the building.

Wei Zhongxian asked someone to close the window door and close it, and the wind outside was blocked outside. However, there was a large window in front of the emperor's imperial case, which was made of transparent glass. Sitting in the house, you can still see the night sky and Luoyang City.

There were many briefings on the emperor's desk.

Although the emperor was only in his thirties, Luo Cheng was not the diligent emperor like Yang Jian and Yang Guang and his son. He never criticized memorials until late at night.

As the emperor, he always believed that he was just the helmsman of this empire and was just responsible for the general direction.

The Political Affairs Hall, the Hanlin Academy, this is the imperial government.

The internal and external affairs of the court were all owned and had prescribed procedures. Three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, five supervisors, three yamen, and all military guards, as well as six capitals, nine prefectures, thirty-six roads, two hundred and eight hundred counties, and such a vast world, if everything was handled by the emperor, then even if the emperor did not eat or drink all day, he would not be able to finish the administration.

The local area is from the four levels of Dao County and Township, and Baojia, Youli Village in the countryside.

Dao shared many local management affairs for the central government of the court.

The three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors of the imperial court also managed according to their responsibilities.

Important affairs are then taken care of by the government.

Only extremely important matters will be reported to the emperor, which will be decided by the emperor, or will be discussed by the important officials at the imperial meeting.

In addition, the emperor asked the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall to vote for the proposal, and then the great scholars of the Hanlin Academy praised the prize.

The secretaries of the Secretariat would extract and extract these memorials that were intended to be awarded, and then copy them together to form a briefing for the emperor.

In this way, thousands of memorials gathered in front of the emperor every day, that is, a newspaper with a maximum of about ten thousand words. At most, every matter is a sentence, and some unimportant things will not even be sent to the emperor.

Moreover, those secretary-generals who were the top scholars who were tested in previous imperial examinations will also classify all aspects of the emperor's affairs, making the emperor more worry-free.

It can not only reduce the time spent on documents and memorials, but also do not delay things.

The emperor picked up the briefing and read it again. Compared to the first time, the emperor slowed down a little, and even used a pen to draw lines and circles on some of the content he was concerned about, and even made simple instructions and comments on the side.

After reading the briefing of more than 10,000 words for the second time, the emperor read the place he had just circled.

As the secretary-general, Yu Zhining immediately stepped forward and picked up the briefing, "I will ask someone to follow up immediately."

Yu Zhining took over after the former secretary Wang Gui was promoted to prime minister. He was the great-grandson of Yu Jin, the Grand Tutor of the Sui Dynasty. He was from a famous family and had talent.

"I circle the content of the instructions will be transferred to the Zhengshi Hall and the Hanlin Academy for them to circulate, reconsider the disposal plan, and turn back, remember to report the results to me."

"I obey the order." Yu Zhining nodded.

A briefing of more than 10,000 words, many memorials from the court and local governments are usually recorded in one sentence, and the format is generally what happened, how the local government handles it, and what the government and courts do, and then presented it to the emperor.

If the emperor had no objection to the handling of this matter, he would just read it and not even write a word of Ka. But if the emperor became interested in this matter or had any objection to the handling of the court, he would use his unique circle symbols to indicate his different degree of concern for the matter, or directly submit the documents.

As a secretary supervisor, Yu Zhining has a large group of secretary who are from the top scholars. These people are the top students in the imperial examinations of the past. They are naturally very attentive to be responsible for this briefing every day and dare not make any mistakes.

But compared to the prime ministers and grand scholars of the Political Affairs Hall and the Hanlin Academy, it is much easier.

You should know that these ten thousand words of briefings are refined and copied from thousands of memorials every day. Many general memorials are not copied at all, so there is no need to waste the emperor's time. However, the courts have to deal with these memorials one by one. Fortunately, the Hanlin Academy is in charge of military affairs and has shared a lot of pressure from the prime ministers.

In such a big empire, there are indeed too many affairs.

All kinds of daily life and various sudden events have made the nine prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall and nine major scholars of the Hanlin Academy busy. Many prime ministers have not even completed their two positions for six years, so they have resigned from their posts or simply retreated to the second line due to illness.

There are really many business and great pressure.

The renovation project of Jinghu in the south is still continuing, and there are some results at present, but it is still far away from the completion of the tenth phase. However, the heavy rain in Jinghu has recently become a disaster and the Yangtze River has begun to rise. Although Jinghu has been dredged a lot after several phases of projects, if the heavy rain continues, floods will still occur.

Of course, the Yangtze River flood not only affects the two sides of Jinghu, but also faces great flood control pressure in Jiangxi, Huainan and Jiangdong Roads downstream.

Even though the imperial court built flood control and embankment every year, many flood discharge areas were still set up in the lower reaches of the Jianghuai River to deal with major floods that happened once in a decade or even once in a century. Once the dam could not bear it, it could only open the gates to the flood discharge area to flood some areas to alleviate the danger.
