On the first day of the sixth lunar month of Wanli, the Forbidden City was covered in silver after the first snow.

This season is the busiest time in Beijing, and the Xuanwei Division and the vassal kingdoms from all over the world send tribute to the Beijing Division, and the earliest has set off in the spring; The feudal officials from all directions sent officials to Beijing to submit reports.

Especially under the examination law, the three books of the imperial court became a knife hanging over the heads of all officials in the year, one in the six departments, one in the six departments, and the last one in the cabinet.

Starting from the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, all the work that should be completed by subordinate officials must be registered and inspected monthly.

If you complete one item, you will log out one, and if you do not complete it, you will declare it truthfully, and if you do not declare it, you will be punished.

The six departments that hold the second account are responsible for inspecting the six departments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and every six months the six departments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate must report to the six departments on the implementation of official duties, and violators will be punished according to the size of the matter.

The cabinet inspects the six departments, forming a set of six departments with the cabinet to inspect the lower grades, six departments to supervise the six departments of the lower grades, six departments to supervise the local feudal departments, the six departments and the officials of the Fu Press, and then the two highest local departments to inspect the government and county officials.

Zhang Juzheng's sword is in the Sixth Branch, and he makes good use of the Ming Dynasty's low-level officials to impeach high-ranking officials, so as to supervise the members of the Six Ministries and completely centralize power in the cabinet.

This has greatly improved the administrative efficiency of the empire, and officials who fail to complete their tasks will have three consequences, according to the implementation of the situation, the fines that should be fined, the demotion that should be demoted, and the dismissal of those who should be dismissed.

In the past six years, the imperial court has eliminated useless officials even more than the number of officials added by the Siyang Military Government.

There are far more people in the world who oppose the examination than the officials who have been dismissed, and among these people, the most striking figure is naturally the growing figure in the Forbidden City.

On the square in front of the Qianqing Palace, the snow on the royal road was pushed to both sides, and King Lu, who was wrapped in a fox fur and fat like a bear, snorted and piled up a snow cannon in the snow, his hands were red from the cold, and he pulled out the barrel of the cannon in the muzzle of the gun with his sleeves on his sleeves, and shouted impassionedly.

"Brother Huang, don't punch, my brother's General Zhenshuo has been built, aim at the cabinet, give an order!"

On the royal road not far from King Lu, Wanli was boxing, playing Bazi boxing, moving more and more in one step, making the original mighty movements look a little childish, but this did not delay the palace people to look at the emperor with the admiration of observing the appearance of the gods.

Because the emperor's feet did not step on the ground, and he kept advancing.

At the emperor's feet is a cloud, a cloud carved from wood, with only a one-step square flat plate in the middle, and in front of him is the huge Huode Xingjun, the steam engine designed by Wanli himself who has been sleeping in the emperor's dormitory, but with a new layer of skin.

It is the secret of Wanli, no one in the whole world knows, the real great use of the steam engine, even Jing Haibo does not know, only the powerful and intelligent Wanli Emperor knows: Huo De Xingjun - can shovel snow.

The old Huode Xingjun's ass has always had wheels, but since the first time he hit it stupidly on the pillar in the dormitory, Wanli has removed its wheels.

But it's not a matter of removing the wheels, this guy will sneer all day long, and it's quite annoying to listen to it for a long time, so Wanli made the Huode Xingjun change and put a military bull horn on its mouth.

As a result, the sneering turned into a whine, and the screaming became even louder, so Huo De Xingjun only stayed in the dormitory for an hour from his birth to the extinguishing of the fire, and was dismissed by the irascible Wanli Ye.

According to the "Living Note", on the night when Emperor Wanli created Huode Xingjun, he pointed at Huode Xingjun and scolded: Who are you scaring all day long, I'm going to punish you! Prison Edict!

Obviously, this will become a point of knowledge in a few hundred years.

What was the name of the first steam engine in the history of our country to serve a prison sentence? The answer is: Huo De Xing Jun Gai, who was born in the early years of Wanli.

At least so far, two months have passed, and Emperor Wanli has no intention of releasing Huo De Xingjun from the edict prison.

Now the steam engine under the emperor's feet should be called 'Huo De Xingjun changed and changed', and preparations have been made since the autumn, and the steam engine is still the same batch of early machines that Huo De Xingjun was built by the Ministry of Engineering, and there are almost no other advantages except for the relatively perfect leather pressure relief valve.

The shape is bulky, the power is not large, the water storage is not much, and the thief costs coal.

The outer wooden shell is still custom-made by the craftsmen of the Shenmu Factory according to the appearance of Huo De Xingjun, and two diagonal baffles for shoveling snow are also installed on the front face.

The snow on both sides of the royal road in front of the Qianqing Palace took it two whole days to push out, in order to accommodate the driving habits of Wanli Ye, the chassis did not use four wheels but a rear-drive three-wheel structure of the front one and two - what driving habits does Wanli have? Naturally, it was horseback riding, so this Huo De Xingjun changed and changed again to a snowplow without a steering wheel and no handlebars.

Its steering mechanism is composed of an I-shaped iron handle that passes diagonally through the abdomen and back of Huo De Xingjun, with the front wheel connected to the bottom and a reins connected to the top.

Although the human-computer interaction function is extremely poor, in fact, this thing does not need its turning function for the time being.

No, it's been morning, His Royal Highness King Lu has piled up the snow cannons, and he hasn't taken Wanli Ye to the place where he needs to turn around.

After a set of punches, Wanli stretched out comfortably, put the reins on Huo Dexingjun's neck, jumped out of the car and trotted out for more than twenty steps, and said to King Lu solemnly: "Zhu Yiyi, you have to be mature, even if I order you to use this snow cannon, it will not be able to hit the cabinet." ”

King Xiaolu, who was excited, blinked his eyes, looked very disappointed, and was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry: "The queen mother didn't let her brother go to the west camp to see the cannons, saying that the royal brother and the banner army were mixed together to be contemptuous, and only need to order their own soldiers to go to the place of death for Your Majesty to eliminate the troubles, and the younger brothers, the younger brothers, the younger brothers also know it......"

"I hate the test law, the power of the cabinet has almost shaken the master, Mr. Zhang is fine, if someone else changes, how can I rest assured."

Wanli kept chattering, bent down to pick up the snow and rubbed it in his palm, pouted and solemnly put his cold hand into the collar of King Lu's neck, then suddenly laughed, handed the snowball in his other hand, and said, "Without cannonballs, how can your snow cannon shoot out?" ”

"You have to remember that one day, I will bombard the cabinet, and when the time comes, I will give the order, and you will fight!"

King Lu pouted and took the snowball with the mouth of the donkey, he didn't know what his brother's words meant, but he still broke into tears and laughed, stuffed the snowball into the snow cannon chamber, nodded heavily, and said: "Wait for the imperial brother to order, the younger brother will fight!" ”

Wanli also smiled, patted King Lu's head, squinted his eyes into the distance, and said softly: "The queen mother has lived in the harem for a long time, and what she said may not be right. Imperial power is books and swords, emperors can't just read books and not dance swords, they don't understand swords, look down on swords, swords in their homes are gray sundries in the corners of the wall, not to mention killing enemies, even if they will be cut by swords sooner or later; I am different, I know the sword, I can dance the sword, the sword is a weapon in my hands, it can be invincible. ”

As he spoke, Wanli pulled up King Lu's sleeve and strode towards the palace gate: "Go, follow me to the telegraph branch, and wish the soldiers of the world a safe and healthy New Year." ”
