Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 891 Conspiracy
The system of three provinces and six ministries runs through the entire political history of China, which also shows from the side that it is scientific and practical.

Originally, the six ministries performed their own functions, and there was no distinction between high and low. However, with the development of the times, the Ministry of Industry suddenly became the "bottom department" and was "looked down by the other five departments!"

The Ministry of Officials, the department in charge of the appointment, removal, promotion, promotion, and transfer of officials, is similar to the Organization Department of the Central Committee today.

Then you think about it, the official department is the place where "life and death" is decided for any official. Of course, the status cannot be higher, so it is known as the "head of the six departments".

In the eyes of the ancients, the Ministry of Households represented one word, that is, "rich", land taxes, tariffs, lijin, public bonds, currency, etc., were all managed by the Ministry of Households, and it directly controlled the country's financial power.

Heshen, who was a huge greedy man in the East, was appreciated by Qianlong because he did a good job in the Ministry of Accounts and saved a lot of money for the country. It was also because of the Ministry of Accounts that Heshen accumulated a huge amount of money.

Originally, the Ministry of Rites was the "head of the six ministries", because it was responsible for the preparation and holding of major national ceremonies, as well as managing schools across the country, arranging imperial examinations, and even national diplomatic activities.

If this was placed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites would be the most honorable existence, but unfortunately, these matters managed by the Ministry of Rites have nothing to do with "money and power", so the further you go to the back, the less people pay attention to it.

Obviously, the Ministry of War is equivalent to today's Ministry of Defense. For any country, its existence is directly related to the survival of the country. Therefore, everyone in the Ministry of War respects them very much, so there is no need to say anything.

The Ministry of Punishments, a department that frightens corrupt officials, is the highest authority in the country's criminal law, responsible for the trial and sentencing of all major cases, and usually supervises officials.

But it is a pity that many dynasties gave the Ministry of Punishment little power in order to "balance the pros and cons". Even in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Ministry of Punishment could only execute punishments on civilians and officials below rank 7.

The Ministry of Industry, the lowest status among the six ministries, is the most despised existence. In fact, to be honest, the Ministry of Industry is a complete technical department. It is not only responsible for civil and water conservancy projects across the country.

However, in the eyes of those literati and bureaucrats, the people in the Ministry of Industry are no different from "workers, they work everywhere all day, so they look down on them very much, which really makes people feel resentful for the Ministry of Industry!

However, since Zhu Youjian crossed over, the status of the Ming Ministry of Industry has risen sharply. If Zhu Youjian does not dismantle the Weapon Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry will be even more powerful than the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households.

They not only develop and manufacture Daming firearms, but also manage factories and mines across the country. Railways, highways, sea salt, shipbuilding, car building, etc. are all done by the Ministry of Industry. Now no department dares to underestimate the Ministry of Industry.

Like today, Zhu Youjian promised Princess Kunxing to go to the Ministry of Industry to pick up two hundred large merchant ships.

After dinner, Princess Kunxing also successfully bought two hundred large merchant ships from her father.

The emperor will be on his own conquest in a few days, Qin Mingyue and Mu Jianping will definitely serve him well before leaving.

Seeing Princess Kunxing and the others leaving with King Yong, Qin Mingyue ordered someone to clean up the messy dining table.

Erxi agreed, and immediately notified the imperial dining room to come and clean up the mess.

Now there are obviously more maids in the Qianqing palace, and there are more than a dozen court ladies who usually serve Zhu Youjian.

Seeing the maids of honor standing aside and ready to serve the emperor at any time, Qin Mingyue waved to them:

"Retire, all of you, and come back to serve His Majesty tomorrow morning!"

"obey"

"Thank you, Madam Chitose..."

The maids thanked the empress gratefully, and then withdrew one by one.

They guarded the emperor every day, even when the emperor slept at night, and they were finally free tonight, of course the maids were happy.

Zhu Youjian saw that the maids in the palace were all taken away by Qin Mingyue, he stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Mingyue into his arms and said with a smile:
"You let them all retreat, who will serve me and the queen if they have something to do?"

Qin Mingyue smiled sweetly:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my concubine and sister Jianping will do everything tonight, and I will take a bath with Your Majesty now!"

As Qin Mingyue spoke, she winked at Mu Jianping, and Mu Jianping immediately came over and took Zhu Youjian's arm and said with a delicate smile:

"Your Majesty, go take a bath!"

The two beauties walked towards the Rose Palace holding Zhu Youjian's arm from left to right.

It is said to be the Rose Palace, but it is actually a place dedicated to the emperor's bathing.

The rose pool has been filled with hot water, and the rose leaves floating on the water exude an attractive fragrance.

Five or six maids in tulle were adjusting the temperature of the water. When they saw the emperor and empress coming in, they rushed forward to give a blessing:
"See the emperor!"

"See the two empresses, Chitose!"

Whether it is in the palace or in the court hall, seeing the emperor now only needs to bow and salute. Zhu Youjian has long announced that he has canceled the kneeling ceremony.

Many officials are not used to it. When they accept the imperial edict, they are still used to kneeling down to receive the imperial edict!
Zhu Youjian also followed Qin Mingyue's example. He waved his hand to make the maids here also retreat, and then disarmed and played with Qin Mingyue and Mu Jianping...

………………

When Zhu Youjian and Qin Mingyue Mu Jianping were playing in the water, a major event was happening in the distant Raksha country, and this event was mainly aimed at Daming.

This time, it is not the Kazakh Khanate who is dealing with Ming Dynasty, but the Raksha Kingdom, the Chechen Khanate, and even the Mughal Kingdom of India are also involved.

The four countries actually want to unite to deal with the invention. I really don't know what kind of expression Zhu Youjian will have when he hears the news.

Daming Jinyiwei has secret offices all over the world, and they also develop many foreign spies of different skin colors.

These spies will report the latest intelligence to the resident Jinyiwei in exchange for silver.

In this secret meeting, there were not only generals from Russia and the Kazakh Khanate, but also generals from the Blaha Khanate and the Mughal Empire!

Not only that, the newly appointed Tsarist Russian Field Marshal Golovin came riding a white horse, which attracted a group of people's praise and flattery.

Marshal Golovin laughed a few times, saying that the white horse was a gift from Chechen Khan, and there was no lack of flaunting in his words.

Russian Marshal Golovin said that his white horse was a gift from Chechen Khan. This seemingly insignificant matter made Jinyi keenly aware of the danger.

Golovin, count of the Russian Empire, field marshal, admiral, senior official of the Siberian province, count of the Holy Roman Empire, political activist in the era of Peter I.

"Treaty of Nerchinsk" Russian plenipotentiary.He devoted his life to establishing the Russian regular army and navy.

He was loyal to Peter I against the regent Princess Sofia Alekseevna, but was nonetheless appointed a chancellor to Siberia to resolve the border dispute between the Qing and Russia after the Battle of Yaksa.

According to Sophia's order, if Ming does not accept the terms of the negotiation, Golovin can launch military operations against China without asking for instructions.

For this purpose Golovin recruited nearly 1500 Cossacks to accompany him.As Russia was facing internal and external troubles at that time, the domestic political situation was unstable.

Peter I competed with Princess Sophia for the position of tsar, and the relationship between Europe and the Ottoman Empire was tense abroad, and he was unable to take care of the Far East for a while, so he had to express his willingness to hold negotiations.
