The eunuch smiled and said, "If the monarch does not agree, the document will be returned and the prime minister who drafted the document will have to change the document accordingly. If it is repeated more than three times, the monarch will summon the four prime ministers for discussion. If it is still undecided, the cabinet meeting will be expanded and all the cabinet members will be summoned. If it is still undecided, a court meeting will be held. In short, at the last step, both sides will eventually compromise. This process is called 'mutual declaration and mutual agreement'. "
Fang Yun nodded. Ancient Huaxia had a similar situation where the monarch and his ministers ruled the world together.
The eunuch continued, "Apart from that, all the edicts issued by the monarch are handled by the cabinet. When the monarch wants to issue an edict and the cabinet feels that it is inappropriate or that it is not the monarch's intention, they have the right to reject the edict and call it a rejection. "
Fang Yun nodded again because there would occasionally be rejections in the ten nations. In essence, it was a power struggle between the monarch and the cabinet. Both sides had to constantly wrestle with each other and compromise before finally reaching a balance.
Fang Yun asked, "Then the Imperial Servants Bureau is responsible for passing on the documents of the monarch and the cabinet. Your power should be considerable."
The eunuch panicked and said, "I dare not, I dare not. Back then, there were indeed some eunuchs who gained the monarch's trust and held the power to approve the edicts that only the monarch had. However, in the end, it would lead to disaster. In the end, the various nations abolished the participation of officials in politics and reported it to the Notre-Dame. Any eunuch who interfered in politics could be killed by all the scholars in the world. Please don't make such frightening jokes with me. "
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I will pay attention next time."
In the world of scholars, it was destined that there would not be an overly powerful eunuch clique.
The eunuch hesitated for a moment and continued, "You should know that most of the memorials will be copied by the Civil Study Room and distributed to the high officials. However, secret memorials, which are secret memorials that officials directly send to the monarch, are not included in this list. In fact, only a few officials have the power to submit secret memorials when dealing with special matters. The four prime ministers are different and can submit secret memorials at any time. These secret memorials will not be copied and will not be known by outsiders. "
"I have heard a little about this."
The eunuch continued, "The cabinet matters are complicated and I can't explain them one by one. Since you are the Prime Minister, the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion will help you. In a few days, you will naturally know everything."
Fang Yun nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Head Eunuch. Next, I'll slowly learn about the Cabinet.
"I will take my leave."
Fang Yun's expression did not change as he watched the eunuch leave. Although the eunuch appeared to be friendly on the surface, in reality, everything was done according to the rules. There were even some things that he did not mention clearly, and he even deliberately mentioned Liu Shan.
Fang Yun turned the Wuhou carriage, looked at Cao Dean, smiled and said: "Prime Minister Cao, you are an elder of three dynasties, you know a lot about the inner court, please give me some pointers, what should I pay attention to the most."
. Cao Dean smiled and said, "The Old Man is only older by a few years. I have no good points. Since Fang Xusheng has a request, the Old Man will tell you everything he knows."
So, Fang Yun and Cao Dean entered the Left Prime Minister's study room. They separated themselves from the outside and talked for a long time.
Even during lunch time, the two of them enjoyed their meal inside. Cao Dean only left when the sun set.
Cao Dean's followers found that the Right Prime Minister was tired, but he was in high spirits.
"Prime Minister, did you encounter a happy event?"
Cao Dean laughed and said, "What happy event? I just had a good chat with Fang Xusheng. Fang Xusheng is a very modest person. He is Xusheng's Emperor, but he was so polite to me. Before he left, he gave me a Life Prolonging Fruit. Oh right, don't tell anyone about this! "
That night, all the officials in the capital heard a rumor.
Fang Yun gave Cao Dean more than ten divine fruits, including three Life Prolonging Fruits.
That night, many of the old officials were burning with passion.
Fang Yun's first day as the Left Prime Minister was calm and peaceful.
There was no court meeting on the second day, but Fang Yun woke up early and arrived at the Imperial Library at six o 'clock in the morning.
Fang Yun did not expect that there would be three eighth-rank Jinshi working in the Imperial Library.
Seeing Fang Yun arrive, the three hurriedly got up.
"What did I say yesterday? If you are busy, there is no need to salute. Why are the three of you here so early? "
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he took the Snow Crystal Grape from Hu Li and ate it. He looked at the three.
Yesterday, after Cao Dean left, Fang Yun had gathered all the officials in the Imperial Library and remembered everyone's name and position.
The three looked troubled and did not know how to answer.
"What's wrong? I am asking and you want to not answer?"
The three looked afraid.
The bearded man with a square face, Li Zhixiao, gritted his teeth and said, "Reporting to the Prime Minister, I came early today for both public and private reasons."
"Oh? Tell me about it. "Fang Yun swallowed the Snow Crystal Grape and looked at Li Zhixiao with a faint smile.
"The public reason is that there are many things to be done in the Imperial Library. You have just become the Prime Minister and I am afraid there are many things to do. I will help you solve your problems. The private reason is that I have no connection with Mount Liu. Only by performing in front of you and gaining your favor can I wash away the suspicion of the Liu Faction. "
Fang Yun only nodded and then looked at another Jinshi. "Xu Changgeng, what about you?"
When the Jinshi heard Fang Yun call out his name, he was pleasantly surprised. After hesitating for a while, he said decisively, "I am not as public as Brother Zhixiao. I am quite selfish and know that the Prime Minister needs people. I can only work harder to get out of the bag."
Fang Yun nodded again and looked at the third person.
Dong Yueqian's face was red. He huffed and puffed for a long time before squeezing out a complete sentence. "I … usually come to the Imperial Library at this time. I have no other intentions. It is just that I am stupid and not as clever as you. I can only make up for it with hard work. If this lowly official has violated your taboo, please forgive this lowly official. This lowly official has parents and children. If I lose my position, my family will suffer along with me. "
Fang Yun was stunned and then laughed. He didn't expect to meet someone as honest as Dong Yueqian.
In front of his Third Realm Peak Literary Gut and Shepherd Star Guest's Divine Sense after cultivating the secret method, Fang Yun could easily tell if the three of them were speaking the truth or not.
Li Zhixiao looked helplessly at Dong Yueqian and then cupped his hands. "Reporting to the Prime Minister, Dong Yueqian is speaking the truth. He is famous in the Imperial Library for being honest and considerate."
Dong Yueqian was stunned and suddenly sweated all over. He realized that he had said something wrong. How could there be an honest person who would complain to his family when encountering problems? He was even more anxious, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Xu Changgeng lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Fang Yun's heart was as clear as a mirror. These officials were implicated by Willow Mountain, so they must have had a hard time these days. That Dong Yueqian was frightened by his reputation.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Since I've met the three of you, it can be considered fate. I obtained many treasures in the Sacred Burial Valley and have some old things to give away. Since I am in a good mood today, I will give them to the three of you as a thank-you gift. After nine o 'clock, go find Sai Zhixue, Cai He, and Chen Xibi and ask them to come see me. Oh right, are you used to using military time in the Imperial Library? "
Fang Yun asked as he took out three ordinary looking wooden boxes from the Heaven and Earth Shell. They were about a foot long and an inch wide and tall.
Xu Changgeng said first, "Reporting to the Prime Minister, the Left Prime Minister's Office used military time a few years ago because numbers are easier to remember."
